Vlastimil Babka c3486f5376 mm, compaction: simplify contended compaction handling
Async compaction detects contention either due to failing trylock on
zone->lock or lru_lock, or by need_resched().  Since 1f9efdef4f ("mm,
compaction: khugepaged should not give up due to need_resched()") the
code got quite complicated to distinguish these two up to the
__alloc_pages_slowpath() level, so different decisions could be taken
for khugepaged allocations.

After the recent changes, khugepaged allocations don't check for
contended compaction anymore, so we again don't need to distinguish lock
and sched contention, and simplify the current convoluted code a lot.

However, I believe it's also possible to simplify even more and
completely remove the check for contended compaction after the initial
async compaction for costly orders, which was originally aimed at THP
page fault allocations.  There are several reasons why this can be done
now:

- with the new defaults, THP page faults no longer do reclaim/compaction at
  all, unless the system admin has overridden the default, or application has
  indicated via madvise that it can benefit from THP's. In both cases, it
  means that the potential extra latency is expected and worth the benefits.
- even if reclaim/compaction proceeds after this patch where it previously
  wouldn't, the second compaction attempt is still async and will detect the
  contention and back off, if the contention persists
- there are still heuristics like deferred compaction and pageblock skip bits
  in place that prevent excessive THP page fault latencies

Vlastimil Babka a5508cd83f mm, compaction: introduce direct compaction priority
In the context of direct compaction, for some types of allocations we
would like the compaction to either succeed or definitely fail while
trying as hard as possible.  Current async/sync_light migration mode is
insufficient, as there are heuristics such as caching scanner positions,
marking pageblocks as unsuitable or deferring compaction for a zone.  At
least the final compaction attempt should be able to override these
heuristics.

To communicate how hard compaction should try, we replace migration mode
with a new enum compact_priority and change the relevant function
signatures.  In compact_zone_order() where struct compact_control is
constructed, the priority is mapped to suitable control flags.  This
patch itself has no functional change, as the current priority levels
are mapped back to the same migration modes as before.  Expanding them
will be done next.

Note that !CONFIG_COMPACTION variant of try_to_compact_pages() is
removed, as the only caller exists under CONFIG_COMPACTION.

Vlastimil Babka 2516035499 mm, thp: remove __GFP_NORETRY from khugepaged and madvised allocations
After the previous patch, we can distinguish costly allocations that
should be really lightweight, such as THP page faults, with
__GFP_NORETRY.  This means we don't need to recognize khugepaged
allocations via PF_KTHREAD anymore.  We can also change THP page faults
in areas where madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) was used to try as hard as
khugepaged, as the process has indicated that it benefits from THP's and
is willing to pay some initial latency costs.

We can also make the flags handling less cryptic by distinguishing
GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT (no reclaim at all, default mode in page fault) from
GFP_TRANSHUGE (only direct reclaim, khugepaged default).  Adding
__GFP_NORETRY or __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM is done where needed.

The patch effectively changes the current GFP_TRANSHUGE users as
follows:

* get_huge_zero_page() - the zero page lifetime should be relatively
  long and it's shared by multiple users, so it's worth spending some
  effort on it.  We use GFP_TRANSHUGE, and __GFP_NORETRY is not added.
  This also restores direct reclaim to this allocation, which was
  unintentionally removed by commit e4a49efe4e7e ("mm: thp: set THP defrag
  by default to madvise and add a stall-free defrag option")

* alloc_hugepage_khugepaged_gfpmask() - this is khugepaged, so latency
  is not an issue.  So if khugepaged "defrag" is enabled (the default), do
  reclaim via GFP_TRANSHUGE without __GFP_NORETRY.  We can remove the
  PF_KTHREAD check from page alloc.

  As a side-effect, khugepaged will now no longer check if the initial
  compaction was deferred or contended.  This is OK, as khugepaged sleep
  times between collapsion attempts are long enough to prevent noticeable
  disruption, so we should allow it to spend some effort.

* migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() - already was masking out
  __GFP_RECLAIM, so just convert to GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT which is
  equivalent.

* alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask() - vma's with VM_HUGEPAGE (via madvise)
  are now allocating without __GFP_NORETRY.  Other vma's keep using
  __GFP_NORETRY if direct reclaim/compaction is at all allowed (by default
  it's allowed only for madvised vma's).  The rest is conversion to
  GFP_TRANSHUGE(_LIGHT).

Vlastimil Babka 3eb2771b06 mm, page_alloc: make THP-specific decisions more generic
Since THP allocations during page faults can be costly, extra decisions
are employed for them to avoid excessive reclaim and compaction, if the
initial compaction doesn't look promising.  The detection has never been
perfect as there is no gfp flag specific to THP allocations.  At this
moment it checks the whole combination of flags that makes up
GFP_TRANSHUGE, and hopes that no other users of such combination exist,
or would mind being treated the same way.  Extra care is also taken to
separate allocations from khugepaged, where latency doesn't matter that
much.

It is however possible to distinguish these allocations in a simpler and
more reliable way.  The key observation is that after the initial
compaction followed by the first iteration of "standard"
reclaim/compaction, both __GFP_NORETRY allocations and costly
allocations without __GFP_REPEAT are declared as failures:

        /* Do not loop if specifically requested */
        if (gfp_mask & __GFP_NORETRY)
                goto nopage;

        /*
         * Do not retry costly high order allocations unless they are
         * __GFP_REPEAT
         */
        if (order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER && !(gfp_mask & __GFP_REPEAT))
                goto nopage;

This means we can further distinguish allocations that are costly order
*and* additionally include the __GFP_NORETRY flag.  As it happens,
GFP_TRANSHUGE allocations do already fall into this category.  This will
also allow other costly allocations with similar high-order benefit vs
latency considerations to use this semantic.  Furthermore, we can
distinguish THP allocations that should try a bit harder (such as from
khugepageed) by removing __GFP_NORETRY, as will be done in the next
patch.

Vlastimil Babka a8161d1ed6 mm, page_alloc: restructure direct compaction handling in slowpath
The retry loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath is supposed to keep trying
reclaim and compaction (and OOM), until either the allocation succeeds,
or returns with failure.  Success here is more probable when reclaim
precedes compaction, as certain watermarks have to be met for compaction
to even try, and more free pages increase the probability of compaction
success.  On the other hand, starting with light async compaction (if
the watermarks allow it), can be more efficient, especially for smaller
orders, if there's enough free memory which is just fragmented.

Thus, the current code starts with compaction before reclaim, and to
make sure that the last reclaim is always followed by a final
compaction, there's another direct compaction call at the end of the
loop.  This makes the code hard to follow and adds some duplicated
handling of migration_mode decisions.  It's also somewhat inefficient
that even if reclaim or compaction decides not to retry, the final
compaction is still attempted.  Some gfp flags combination also shortcut
these retry decisions by "goto noretry;", making it even harder to
follow.

This patch attempts to restructure the code with only minimal functional
changes.  The call to the first compaction and THP-specific checks are
now placed above the retry loop, and the "noretry" direct compaction is
removed.

The initial compaction is additionally restricted only to costly orders,
as we can expect smaller orders to be held back by watermarks, and only
larger orders to suffer primarily from fragmentation.  This better
matches the checks in reclaim's shrink_zones().

There are two other smaller functional changes.  One is that the upgrade
from async migration to light sync migration will always occur after the
initial compaction.  This is how it has been until recent patch "mm,
oom: protect !costly allocations some more", which introduced upgrading
the mode based on COMPACT_COMPLETE result, but kept the final compaction
always upgraded, which made it even more special.  It's better to return
to the simpler handling for now, as migration modes will be further
modified later in the series.

The second change is that once both reclaim and compaction declare it's
not worth to retry the reclaim/compact loop, there is no final
compaction attempt.  As argued above, this is intentional.  If that
final compaction were to succeed, it would be due to a wrong retry
decision, or simply a race with somebody else freeing memory for us.

The main outcome of this patch should be simpler code.  Logically, the
initial compaction without reclaim is the exceptional case to the
reclaim/compaction scheme, but prior to the patch, it was the last loop
iteration that was exceptional.  Now the code matches the logic better.
The change also enable the following patches.

Vlastimil Babka 23771235bb mm, page_alloc: don't retry initial attempt in slowpath
After __alloc_pages_slowpath() sets up new alloc_flags and wakes up
kswapd, it first tries get_page_from_freelist() with the new
alloc_flags, as it may succeed e.g. due to using min watermark instead
of low watermark.  It makes sense to to do this attempt before adjusting
zonelist based on alloc_flags/gfp_mask, as it's still relatively a fast
path if we just wake up kswapd and successfully allocate.

This patch therefore moves the initial attempt above the retry label and
reorganizes a bit the part below the retry label.  We still have to
attempt get_page_from_freelist() on each retry, as some allocations
cannot do that as part of direct reclaim or compaction, and yet are not
allowed to fail (even though they do a WARN_ON_ONCE() and thus should
not exist).  We can reuse the call meant for ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS attempt
and just set alloc_flags to ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS if the context allows
it.  As a side-effect, the attempts from direct reclaim/compaction will
also no longer obey watermarks once this is set, but there's little harm
in that.

Kswapd wakeups are also done on each retry to be safe from potential
races resulting in kswapd going to sleep while a process (that may not
be able to reclaim by itself) is still looping.

Vlastimil Babka 31a6c1909f mm, page_alloc: set alloc_flags only once in slowpath
In __alloc_pages_slowpath(), alloc_flags doesn't change after it's
initialized, so move the initialization above the retry: label.  Also
make the comment above the initialization more descriptive.

The only exception in the alloc_flags being constant is
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS, which may change due to TIF_MEMDIE being set on the
allocating thread.  We can fix this, and make the code simpler and a bit
more effective at the same time, by moving the part that determines
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS from gfp_to_alloc_flags() to gfp_pfmemalloc_allowed().

This means we don't have to mask out ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS in numerous
places in __alloc_pages_slowpath() anymore.  The only two tests for the
flag can instead call gfp_pfmemalloc_allowed().

Kirill A. Shutemov 734537c9cb mm: fix use-after-free if memory allocation failed in vma_adjust()
There's one case when vma_adjust() expands the vma, overlapping with
*two* next vma.  See case 6 of mprotect, described in the comment to
vma_merge().

To handle this (and only this) situation we iterate twice over main part
of the function.  See "goto again".

Vegard reported[1] that he sees out-of-bounds access complain from
KASAN, if anon_vma_clone() on the *second* iteration fails.

This happens because we free 'next' vma by the end of first iteration
and don't have a way to undo this if anon_vma_clone() fails on the
second iteration.

The solution is to do all required allocations upfront, before we touch
vmas.

The allocation on the second iteration is only required if first two
vmas don't have anon_vma, but third does.  So we need, in total, one
anon_vma_clone() call.

It's easy to adjust 'exporter' to the third vma for such case.

This reverts commit f9054c70d2 ("mm, mempool: only set __GFP_NOMEMALLOC

There has been a report about OOM killer invoked when swapping out to a

managed to completely deplete memory reserves.  Ondrej was able to
bisect and explained the issue by pointing to f9054c70d2 ("mm,
mempool: only set __GFP_NOMEMALLOC if there are free elements").

The reason is that the swapout path is not throttled properly because
the md-raid layer needs to allocate from the generic_make_request path
which means it allocates from the PF_MEMALLOC context.  dm layer uses
mempool_alloc in order to guarantee a forward progress which used to
inhibit access to memory reserves when using page allocator.  This has
changed by f9054c70d2 ("mm, mempool: only set __GFP_NOMEMALLOC if
there are free elements") which has dropped the __GFP_NOMEMALLOC
protection when the memory pool is depleted.

If we are running out of memory and the only way forward to free memory
is to perform swapout we just keep consuming memory reserves rather than
throttling the mempool allocations and allowing the pending IO to
complete up to a moment when the memory is depleted completely and there
is no way forward but invoking the OOM killer.  This is less than
optimal.

The original intention of f9054c70d2 was to help with the OOM
situations where the oom victim depends on mempool allocation to make a
forward progress.  David has mentioned the following backtrace:

  schedule
  schedule_timeout
  io_schedule_timeout
  mempool_alloc
  __split_and_process_bio
  dm_request
  generic_make_request
  submit_bio
  mpage_readpages
  ext4_readpages
  __do_page_cache_readahead
  ra_submit
  filemap_fault
  handle_mm_fault
  __do_page_fault
  do_page_fault
  page_fault

We do not know more about why the mempool is depleted without being
replenished in time, though.  In any case the dm layer shouldn't depend
on any allocations outside of the dedicated pools so a forward progress
should be guaranteed.  If this is not the case then the dm should be
fixed rather than papering over the problem and postponing it to later
by accessing more memory reserves.

mempools are a mechanism to maintain dedicated memory reserves to
guaratee forward progress.  Allowing them an unbounded access to the
page allocator memory reserves is going against the whole purpose of
this mechanism.

Hugh Dickins 1d2047fefa mm, compaction: don't isolate PageWriteback pages in MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT mode
At present MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT is allowing __isolate_lru_page() to
isolate a PageWriteback page, which __unmap_and_move() then rejects with
-EBUSY: of course the writeback might complete in between, but that's
not what we usually expect, so probably better not to isolate it.

When tested by stress-highalloc from mmtests, this has reduced the
number of page migrate failures by 60-70%.

Naoya Horiguchi 7c7fd82556 mm: hwpoison: remove incorrect comments
dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page() can be called without page lock hold, so
let's remove incorrect comment.

The reason why the page lock is not really needed is that
dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page() checks page_huge_active() inside
hugetlb_lock, which allows us to avoid trying to dequeue a hugepage that
are just allocated but not linked to active list yet, even without
taking page lock.

If the user tries to disable automatic scanning early in the boot
process using e.g.:

  echo scan=off > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak

then this command will hang until SECS_FIRST_SCAN (= 60) seconds have

We can fix this using interruptible sleep and checking if we're supposed
to stop whenever we wake up (like the rest of the code does).

Dennis Chen a571d4eb55 mm/memblock.c: add new infrastructure to address the mem limit issue
In some cases, memblock is queried by kernel to determine whether a
specified address is RAM or not.  For example, the ACPI core needs this
information to determine which attributes to use when mapping ACPI
regions(acpi_os_ioremap).  Use of incorrect memory types can result in
faults, data corruption, or other issues.

Removing memory with memblock_enforce_memory_limit() throws away this
information, and so a kernel booted with 'mem=' may suffer from the
issues described above.  To avoid this, we need to keep those NOMAP
regions instead of removing all above the limit, which preserves the
information we need while preventing other use of those regions.

This patch adds new infrastructure to retain all NOMAP memblock regions
while removing others, to cater for this.

Andy Lutomirski d30dd8be06 mm: track NR_KERNEL_STACK in KiB instead of number of stacks
Currently, NR_KERNEL_STACK tracks the number of kernel stacks in a zone.
This only makes sense if each kernel stack exists entirely in one zone,
and allowing vmapped stacks could break this assumption.

Since frv has THREAD_SIZE < PAGE_SIZE, we need to track kernel stack
allocations in a unit that divides both THREAD_SIZE and PAGE_SIZE on all
architectures.  Keep it simple and use KiB.

With node-lru, if there are enough reclaimable pages in highmem but
nothing in lowmem, VM can try to shrink inactive list although the
requested zone is lowmem.

The problem is that if the inactive list is full of highmem pages then a
direct reclaimer searching for a lowmem page waste CPU scanning
uselessly.  It just burns out CPU.  Even, many direct reclaimers are
stalled by too_many_isolated if lots of parallel reclaimer are going on
although there are no reclaimable memory in inactive list.

I tried the experiment 4 times in 32bit 2G 8 CPU KVM machine to get
elapsed time.

Mel Gorman d7f05528ee mm, vmscan: account for skipped pages as a partial scan
Page reclaim determines whether a pgdat is unreclaimable by examining
how many pages have been scanned since a page was freed and comparing
that to the LRU sizes.  Skipped pages are not reclaim candidates but
contribute to scanned.  This can prematurely mark a pgdat as
unreclaimable and trigger an OOM kill.

This patch accounts for skipped pages as a partial scan so that an
unreclaimable pgdat will still be marked as such but by scaling the cost
of a skip, it'll avoid the pgdat being marked prematurely.

The problem is due to the active deactivation logic in
inactive_list_is_low:

	Node 0 active_anon:404412kB inactive_anon:409040kB

IOW, (inactive_anon of node * inactive_ratio > active_anon of node) due
to highmem anonymous stat so VM never deactivates normal zone's
anonymous pages.

This patch is a modified version of Minchan's original solution but
based upon it.  The problem with Minchan's patch is that any low zone
with an imbalanced list could force a rotation.

In this patch, a zone-constrained global reclaim will rotate the list if
the inactive/active ratio of all eligible zones needs to be corrected.
It is possible that higher zone pages will be initially rotated
prematurely but this is the safer choice to maintain overall LRU age.

Mel Gorman 5a1c84b404 mm: remove reclaim and compaction retry approximations
If per-zone LRU accounting is available then there is no point
approximating whether reclaim and compaction should retry based on pgdat
statistics.  This is effectively a revert of "mm, vmstat: remove zone
and node double accounting by approximating retries" with the difference
that inactive/active stats are still available.  This preserves the
history of why the approximation was retried and why it had to be
reverted to handle OOM kills on 32-bit systems.

The order-0 allocation for normal zone failed while there are a lot of
reclaimable memory(i.e., anonymous memory with free swap).  I wanted to
analyze the problem but it was hard because we removed per-zone lru stat
so I couldn't know how many of anonymous memory there are in normal/dma
zone.

When we investigate OOM problem, reclaimable memory count is crucial
stat to find a problem.  Without it, it's hard to parse the OOM message
so I believe we should keep it.

With per-zone lru stat,

reclaim.

LRU list contents and counts are updated separately.  Counts are updated
before pages are added to the LRU and updated after pages are removed.
The warning above is from a check in mem_cgroup_update_lru_size that
ensures that list sizes of zero are empty.

The problem is that node-lru needs to account for highmem pages if
CONFIG_HIGHMEM is set.  One impact of the implementation is that the
sizes are updated in multiple passes when pages from multiple zones were
isolated.  This happens whether HIGHMEM is set or not.  When multiple
zones are isolated, it's possible for a debugging check in memcg to be
tripped.

This patch forces all the zone counts to be updated before the memcg
function is called.

Minchan Kim 33e077bd60 mm: show node_pages_scanned per node, not zone
The node_pages_scanned represents the number of scanned pages of node
for reclaim so it's pointless to show it as kilobytes.

As well, node_pages_scanned is per-node value, not per-zone.

This patch changes node_pages_scanned per-zone-killobytes with
per-node-count.

Mel Gorman 68eb0731c4 mm, pagevec: release/reacquire lru_lock on pgdat change
With node-lru, the locking is based on the pgdat.  Previously it was
required that a pagevec drain released one zone lru_lock and acquired
another zone lru_lock on every zone change.  Now, it's only necessary if
the node changes.  The end-result is fewer lock release/acquires if the
pages are all on the same node but in different zones.

When I tested vmscale in mmtest in 32bit, I found the benchmark was slow
down 0.5 times.

                base        node
                   1    global-1
User           12.98       16.04
System        147.61      166.42
Elapsed        26.48       38.08

With vmstat, I found IO wait avg is much increased compared to base.

The reason was highmem_dirtyable_memory accumulates free pages and
highmem_file_pages from HIGHMEM to MOVABLE zones which was wrong.  With
that, dirth_thresh in throtlle_vm_write is always 0 so that it calls
congestion_wait frequently if writeback starts.

With this patch, it is much recovered.

                base        node          fi
                   1    global-1         fix
User           12.98       16.04       13.78
System        147.61      166.42      143.92
Elapsed        26.48       38.08       29.64

Mel Gorman bca6759258 mm, vmstat: remove zone and node double accounting by approximating retries
The number of LRU pages, dirty pages and writeback pages must be
accounted for on both zones and nodes because of the reclaim retry
logic, compaction retry logic and highmem calculations all depending on
per-zone stats.

Many lowmem allocations are immune from OOM kill due to a check in
__alloc_pages_may_oom for (ac->high_zoneidx < ZONE_NORMAL) since commit
03668b3ceb ("oom: avoid oom killer for lowmem allocations").  The
exception is costly high-order allocations or allocations that cannot
fail.  If the __alloc_pages_may_oom avoids OOM-kill for low-order lowmem
allocations then it would fall through to __alloc_pages_direct_compact.

This patch will blindly retry reclaim for zone-constrained allocations
in should_reclaim_retry up to MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES.  This is not ideal
but without per-zone stats there are not many alternatives.  The impact
it that zone-constrained allocations may delay before considering the
OOM killer.

As there is no guarantee enough memory can ever be freed to satisfy
compaction, this patch avoids retrying compaction for zone-contrained
allocations.

In combination, that means that the per-node stats can be used when
deciding whether to continue reclaim using a rough approximation.  While
it is possible this will make the wrong decision on occasion, it will
not infinite loop as the number of reclaim attempts is capped by
MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES.

The final step is calculating the number of dirtyable highmem pages.  As
those calculations only care about the global count of file pages in
highmem.  This patch uses a global counter used instead of per-zone
stats as it is sufficient.

In combination, this allows the per-zone LRU and dirty state counters to
be removed.

Mel Gorman e2ecc8a79e mm, vmstat: print node-based stats in zoneinfo file
There are a number of stats that were previously accessible via zoneinfo
that are now invisible.  While it is possible to create a new file for
the node stats, this may be missed by users.  Instead this patch prints
the stats under the first populated zone in /proc/zoneinfo.

Mel Gorman 7cc30fcfd2 mm: vmstat: account per-zone stalls and pages skipped during reclaim
The vmstat allocstall was fairly useful in the general sense but
node-based LRUs change that.  It's important to know if a stall was for
an address-limited allocation request as this will require skipping
pages from other zones.  This patch adds pgstall_* counters to replace
allocstall.  The sum of the counters will equal the old allocstall so it
can be trivially recalculated.  A high number of address-limited
allocation requests may result in a lot of useless LRU scanning for
suitable pages.

As address-limited allocations require pages to be skipped, it's
important to know how much useless LRU scanning took place so this patch
adds pgskip* counters.  This yields the following model

1. The number of address-space limited stalls can be accounted for (pgstall)
2. The amount of useless work required to reclaim the data is accounted (pgskip)
3. The total number of scans is available from pgscan_kswapd and pgscan_direct
   so from that the ratio of useful to useless scans can be calculated.
