Merge hugepage allocation updates from David Rientjes:
"We (mostly Linus, Andrea, and myself) have been discussing offlist how
to implement a sane default allocation strategy for hugepages on NUMA
platforms.
With these reverts in place, the page allocator will happily allocate
a remote hugepage immediately rather than try to make a local hugepage
available. This incurs a substantial performance degradation when
memory compaction would have otherwise made a local hugepage
available.
This series reverts those reverts and attempts to propose a more sane
default allocation strategy specifically for hugepages. Andrea
acknowledges this is likely to fix the swap storms that he originally
reported that resulted in the patches that removed __GFP_THISNODE from
hugepage allocations.
The immediate goal is to return 5.3 to the behavior the kernel has
implemented over the past several years so that remote hugepages are
not immediately allocated when local hugepages could have been made
available because the increased access latency is untenable.
The next goal is to introduce a sane default allocation strategy for
hugepages allocations in general regardless of the configuration of
the system so that we prevent thrashing of local memory when
compaction is unlikely to succeed and can prefer remote hugepages over
remote native pages when the local node is low on memory."
Note on timing: this reverts the hugepage VM behavior changes that got
introduced fairly late in the 5.3 cycle, and that fixed a huge
performance regression for certain loads that had been around since
4.18.
Andrea had this note:
"The regression of 4.18 was that it was taking hours to start a VM
where 3.10 was only taking a few seconds, I reported all the details
on lkml when it was finally tracked down in August 2018.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20180820032640.9896-2-aarcange@redhat.com/
__GFP_THISNODE in MADV_HUGEPAGE made the above enterprise vfio
workload degrade like in the "current upstream" above. And it still
would have been that bad as above until 5.3-rc5"
where the bad behavior ends up happening as you fill up a local node,
and without that change, you'd get into the nasty swap storm behavior
due to compaction working overtime to make room for more memory on the
nodes.
As a result 5.3 got the two performance fix reverts in rc5.
However, David Rientjes then noted that those performance fixes in turn
regressed performance for other loads - although not quite to the same
degree. He suggested reverting the reverts and instead replacing them
with two small changes to how hugepage allocations are done (patch
descriptions rephrased by me):
- "avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed": just admit
that the allocation failed when you're trying to allocate a huge-page
and compaction wasn't successful.
- "allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised": when that
node-local huge-page allocation failed, retry without forcing the
local node.
but by then I judged it too late to replace the fixes for a 5.3 release.
So 5.3 was released with behavior that harked back to the pre-4.18 logic.
But now we're in the merge window for 5.4, and we can see if this
alternate model fixes not just the horrendous swap storm behavior, but
also restores the performance regression that the late reverts caused.
Fingers crossed.

mm, page_alloc: allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised
mm, page_alloc: avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed
Revert "Revert "Revert "mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask""
Revert "Revert "mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage allocations""
For systems configured to always try hard to allocate transparent
hugepages (thp defrag setting of "always") or for memory that has been
explicitly madvised to MADV_HUGEPAGE, it is often better to fallback to
remote memory to allocate the hugepage if the local allocation fails
first.
The point is to allow the initial call to __alloc_pages_node() to attempt
to defragment local memory to make a hugepage available, if possible,
rather than immediately fallback to remote memory. Local hugepages will
always have a better access latency than remote (huge)pages, so an attempt
to make a hugepage available locally is always preferred.
If memory compaction cannot be successful locally, however, it is likely
better to fallback to remote memory. This could take on two forms: either
allow immediate fallback to remote memory or do per-zone watermark checks.
It would be possible to fallback only when per-zone watermarks fail for
order-0 memory, since that would require local reclaim for all subsequent
faults so remote huge allocation is likely better than thrashing the local
zone for large workloads.
In this case, it is assumed that because the system is configured to try
hard to allocate hugepages or the vma is advised to explicitly want to try
hard for hugepages that remote allocation is better when local allocation
and memory compaction have both failed.

Memory compaction has a couple significant drawbacks as the allocation
order increases, specifically:
- isolate_freepages() is responsible for finding free pages to use as
migration targets and is implemented as a linear scan of memory
starting at the end of a zone,
- failing order-0 watermark checks in memory compaction does not account
for how far below the watermarks the zone actually is: to enable
migration, there must be *some* free memory available. Per the above,
watermarks are not always suffficient if isolate_freepages() cannot
find the free memory but it could require hundreds of MBs of reclaim to
even reach this threshold (read: potentially very expensive reclaim with
no indication compaction can be successful), and
- if compaction at this order has failed recently so that it does not even
run as a result of deferred compaction, looping through reclaim can often
be pointless.
For hugepage allocations, these are quite substantial drawbacks because
these are very high order allocations (order-9 on x86) and falling back to
doing reclaim can potentially be *very* expensive without any indication
that compaction would even be successful.
Reclaim itself is unlikely to free entire pageblocks and certainly no
reliance should be put on it to do so in isolation (recall lumpy reclaim).
This means we should avoid reclaim and simply fail hugepage allocation if
compaction is deferred.
It is also not helpful to thrash a zone by doing excessive reclaim if
compaction may not be able to access that memory. If order-0 watermarks
fail and the allocation order is sufficiently large, it is likely better
to fail the allocation rather than thrashing the zone.

This reverts commit 92717d429b.
Since commit a8282608c8 ("Revert "mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage
allocations"") is reverted in this series, it is better to restore the
previous 5.2 behavior between the thp allocation and the page allocator
rather than to attempt any consolidation or cleanup for a policy that is
now reverted. It's less risky during an rc cycle and subsequent patches
in this series further modify the same policy that the pre-5.3 behavior
implements.
Consolidation and cleanup can be done subsequent to a sane default page
allocation strategy, so this patch reverts a cleanup done on a strategy
that is now reverted and thus is the least risky option.

This reverts commit a8282608c8.
The commit references the original intended semantic for MADV_HUGEPAGE
which has subsequently taken on three unique purposes:
- enables or disables thp for a range of memory depending on the system's
config (is thp "enabled" set to "always" or "madvise"),
- determines the synchronous compaction behavior for thp allocations at
fault (is thp "defrag" set to "always", "defer+madvise", or "madvise"),
and
- reverts a previous MADV_NOHUGEPAGE (there is no madvise mode to only
clear previous hugepage advice).
These are the three purposes that currently exist in 5.2 and over the
past several years that userspace has been written around. Adding a
NUMA locality preference adds a fourth dimension to an already conflated
advice mode.
Based on the semantic that MADV_HUGEPAGE has provided over the past
several years, there exist workloads that use the tunable based on these
principles: specifically that the allocation should attempt to
defragment a local node before falling back. It is agreed that remote
hugepages typically (but not always) have a better access latency than
remote native pages, although on Naples this is at parity for
intersocket.
The revert commit that this patch reverts allows hugepage allocation to
immediately allocate remotely when local memory is fragmented. This is
contrary to the semantic of MADV_HUGEPAGE over the past several years:
that is, memory compaction should be attempted locally before falling
back.
The performance degradation of remote hugepages over local hugepages on
Rome, for example, is 53.5% increased access latency. For this reason,
the goal is to revert back to the 5.2 and previous behavior that would
attempt local defragmentation before falling back. With the patch that
is reverted by this patch, we see performance degradations at the tail
because the allocator happily allocates the remote hugepage rather than
even attempting to make a local hugepage available.
zone_reclaim_mode is not a solution to this problem since it does not
only impact hugepage allocations but rather changes the memory
allocation strategy for *all* page allocations.

When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range for a long
time, it could hint kernel that the pages can be reclaimed instantly but
data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce workingset
eviction so it ends up increasing performance.
This patch introduces the new MADV_PAGEOUT hint to madvise(2) syscall.
MADV_PAGEOUT can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not
expected to be used for a long time so that kernel reclaims *any LRU*
pages instantly. The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to
evict proactively.
A note: It doesn't apply SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX LRU page isolation limit
intentionally because it's automatically bounded by PMD size. If PMD
size(e.g., 256) makes some trouble, we could fix it later by limit it to
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX[1].
- man-page material
MADV_PAGEOUT (since Linux x.x)
Do not expect access in the near future so pages in the specified
regions could be reclaimed instantly regardless of memory pressure.
Thus, access in the range after successful operation could cause
major page fault but never lose the up-to-date contents unlike
MADV_DONTNEED. Pages belonging to a shared mapping are only processed
if a write access is allowed for the calling process.
MADV_PAGEOUT cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or
VM_PFNMAP pages.

The local variable references in shrink_page_list is PAGEREF_RECLAIM_CLEAN
as default. It is for preventing to reclaim dirty pages when CMA try to
migrate pages. Strictly speaking, we don't need it because CMA didn't
allow to write out by .may_writepage = 0 in reclaim_clean_pages_from_list.
Moreover, it has a problem to prevent anonymous pages's swap out even
though force_reclaim = true in shrink_page_list on upcoming patch. So
this patch makes references's default value to PAGEREF_RECLAIM and rename
force_reclaim with ignore_references to make it more clear.
This is a preparatory work for next patch.

Patch series "Introduce MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT", v7.
- Background
The Android terminology used for forking a new process and starting an app
from scratch is a cold start, while resuming an existing app is a hot
start. While we continually try to improve the performance of cold
starts, hot starts will always be significantly less power hungry as well
as faster so we are trying to make hot start more likely than cold start.
To increase hot start, Android userspace manages the order that apps
should be killed in a process called ActivityManagerService.
ActivityManagerService tracks every Android app or service that the user
could be interacting with at any time and translates that into a ranked
list for lmkd(low memory killer daemon). They are likely to be killed by
lmkd if the system has to reclaim memory. In that sense they are similar
to entries in any other cache. Those apps are kept alive for
opportunistic performance improvements but those performance improvements
will vary based on the memory requirements of individual workloads.
- Problem
Naturally, cached apps were dominant consumers of memory on the system.
However, they were not significant consumers of swap even though they are
good candidate for swap. Under investigation, swapping out only begins
once the low zone watermark is hit and kswapd wakes up, but the overall
allocation rate in the system might trip lmkd thresholds and cause a
cached process to be killed(we measured performance swapping out vs.
zapping the memory by killing a process. Unsurprisingly, zapping is 10x
times faster even though we use zram which is much faster than real
storage) so kill from lmkd will often satisfy the high zone watermark,
resulting in very few pages actually being moved to swap.
- Approach
The approach we chose was to use a new interface to allow userspace to
proactively reclaim entire processes by leveraging platform information.
This allowed us to bypass the inaccuracy of the kernel’s LRUs for pages
that are known to be cold from userspace and to avoid races with lmkd by
reclaiming apps as soon as they entered the cached state. Additionally,
it could provide many chances for platform to use much information to
optimize memory efficiency.
To achieve the goal, the patchset introduce two new options for madvise.
One is MADV_COLD which will deactivate activated pages and the other is
MADV_PAGEOUT which will reclaim private pages instantly. These new
options complement MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE by adding non-destructive
ways to gain some free memory space. MADV_PAGEOUT is similar to
MADV_DONTNEED in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not
currently needed and should be reclaimed immediately; MADV_COLD is similar
to MADV_FREE in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not
currently needed and should be reclaimed when memory pressure rises.
This patch (of 5):
When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range, it could
give a hint to kernel that the pages can be reclaimed when memory pressure
happens but data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce
workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance.
This patch introduces the new MADV_COLD hint to madvise(2) syscall.
MADV_COLD can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected
to be used in the near future. The hint can help kernel in deciding which
pages to evict early during memory pressure.
It works for every LRU pages like MADV_[DONTNEED|FREE]. IOW, It moves
active file page -> inactive file LRU
active anon page -> inacdtive anon LRU
Unlike MADV_FREE, it doesn't move active anonymous pages to inactive file
LRU's head because MADV_COLD is a little bit different symantic.
MADV_FREE means it's okay to discard when the memory pressure because the
content of the page is *garbage* so freeing such pages is almost zero
overhead since we don't need to swap out and access afterward causes just
minor fault. Thus, it would make sense to put those freeable pages in
inactive file LRU to compete other used-once pages. It makes sense for
implmentaion point of view, too because it's not swapbacked memory any
longer until it would be re-dirtied. Even, it could give a bonus to make
them be reclaimed on swapless system. However, MADV_COLD doesn't mean
garbage so reclaiming them requires swap-out/in in the end so it's bigger
cost. Since we have designed VM LRU aging based on cost-model, anonymous
cold pages would be better to position inactive anon's LRU list, not file
LRU. Furthermore, it would help to avoid unnecessary scanning if system
doesn't have a swap device. Let's start simpler way without adding
complexity at this moment. However, keep in mind, too that it's a caveat
that workloads with a lot of pages cache are likely to ignore MADV_COLD on
anonymous memory because we rarely age anonymous LRU lists.
* man-page material
MADV_COLD (since Linux x.x)
Pages in the specified regions will be treated as less-recently-accessed
compared to pages in the system with similar access frequencies. In
contrast to MADV_FREE, the contents of the region are preserved regardless
of subsequent writes to pages.
MADV_COLD cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP
pages.

Add RB_DECLARE_CALLBACKS_MAX, which generates augmented rbtree callbacks
for the case where the augmented value is a scalar whose definition
follows a max(f(node)) pattern. This actually covers all present uses of
RB_DECLARE_CALLBACKS, and saves some (source) code duplication in the
various RBCOMPUTE function definitions.

zswap_writeback_entry() maps a handle to read swpentry first, and
then in the most common case it would map the same handle again.
This is ok when zbud is the backend since its mapping callback is
plain and simple, but it slows things down for z3fold.
Since there's hardly a point in unmapping a handle _that_ fast as
zswap_writeback_entry() does when it reads swpentry, the
suggestion is to keep the handle mapped till the end.

The AF_XDP sockets umem mapping interface uses XDP_UMEM_PGOFF_FILL_RING
and XDP_UMEM_PGOFF_COMPLETION_RING offsets. These offsets are
established already and are part of the configuration interface.
But for 32-bit systems, using AF_XDP socket configuration, these values
are too large to pass the maximum allowed file size verification. The
offsets can be tuned off, but instead of changing the existing
interface, let's extend the max allowed file size for sockets.
No one has been using this until this patch with 32 bits as without
this fix af_xdp sockets can't be used at all, so it unblocks af_xdp
socket usage for 32bit systems.
All list of mmap cbs for sockets was verified for side effects and all
of them contain dummy cb - sock_no_mmap() at this moment, except the
following:
xsk_mmap() - it's what this fix is needed for.
tcp_mmap() - doesn't have obvious issues with pgoff - no any references on it.
packet_mmap() - return -EINVAL if it's even set.

Patch series "Provide generic top-down mmap layout functions", v6.
This series introduces generic functions to make top-down mmap layout
easily accessible to architectures, in particular riscv which was the
initial goal of this series. The generic implementation was taken from
arm64 and used successively by arm, mips and finally riscv.
Note that in addition the series fixes 2 issues:
- stack randomization was taken into account even if not necessary.
- [1] fixed an issue with mmap base which did not take into account
randomization but did not report it to arm and mips, so by moving arm64
into a generic library, this problem is now fixed for both
architectures.
This work is an effort to factorize architecture functions to avoid code
duplication and oversights as in [1].
[1]: https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1429066.html
This patch (of 14):
This preparatory commit moves this function so that further introduction
of generic topdown mmap layout is contained only in mm/util.c.

khugepaged needs exclusive mmap_sem to access page table. When it fails
to lock mmap_sem, the page will fault in as pte-mapped THP. As the page
is already a THP, khugepaged will not handle this pmd again.
This patch enables the khugepaged to retry collapse the page table.
struct mm_slot (in khugepaged.c) is extended with an array, containing
addresses of pte-mapped THPs. We use array here for simplicity. We can
easily replace it with more advanced data structures when needed.
In khugepaged_scan_mm_slot(), if the mm contains pte-mapped THP, we try to
collapse the page table.
Since collapse may happen at an later time, some pages may already fault
in. collapse_pte_mapped_thp() is added to properly handle these pages.
collapse_pte_mapped_thp() also double checks whether all ptes in this pmd
are mapping to the same THP. This is necessary because some subpage of
the THP may be replaced, for example by uprobe. In such cases, it is not
possible to collapse the pmd.

deferred split queue if it belongs to a memcg. When the page is

In previous patch, an application could put part of its text section in
THP via madvise(). These THPs will be protected from writes when the
application is still running (TXTBSY). However, after the application
exits, the file is available for writes.
This patch avoids writes to file THP by dropping page cache for the file
when the file is open for write. A new counter nr_thps is added to struct
address_space. In do_dentry_open(), if the file is open for write and
nr_thps is non-zero, we drop page cache for the whole file.

This patch is (hopefully) the first step to enable THP for non-shmem
filesystems.
This patch enables an application to put part of its text sections to THP
via madvise, for example:
madvise((void *)0x600000, 0x200000, MADV_HUGEPAGE);
We tried to reuse the logic for THP on tmpfs.
Currently, write is not supported for non-shmem THP. khugepaged will only
process vma with VM_DENYWRITE. sys_mmap() ignores VM_DENYWRITE requests
(see ksys_mmap_pgoff). The only way to create vma with VM_DENYWRITE is
execve(). This requirement limits non-shmem THP to text sections.
The next patch will handle writes, which would only happen when the all
the vmas with VM_DENYWRITE are unmapped.
An EXPERIMENTAL config, READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS, is added to gate this

Patch series "Enable THP for text section of non-shmem files", v10;
This patchset follows up discussion at LSF/MM 2019. The motivation is to
put text section of an application in THP, and thus reduces iTLB miss rate
and improves performance. Both Facebook and Oracle showed strong
interests to this feature.
To make reviews easier, this set aims a mininal valid product. Current
version of the work does not have any changes to file system specific
code. This comes with some limitations (discussed later).
This set enables an application to "hugify" its text section by simply
running something like:
madvise(0x600000, 0x80000, MADV_HUGEPAGE);
Before this call, the /proc/<pid>/maps looks like:
00400000-074d0000 r-xp 00000000 00:27 2006927 app
After this call, part of the text section is split out and mapped to
THP:
00400000-00425000 r-xp 00000000 00:27 2006927 app
00600000-00e00000 r-xp 00200000 00:27 2006927 app <<< on THP
00e00000-074d0000 r-xp 00a00000 00:27 2006927 app
Limitations:
1. This only works for text section (vma with VM_DENYWRITE).
2. Original limitation #2 is removed in v3.
We gated this feature with an experimental config, READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS.
Once we get better support on the write path, we can remove the config and
enable it by default.
Tested cases:
1. Tested with btrfs and ext4.
2. Tested with real work application (memcache like caching service).
3. Tested with "THP aware uprobe":

When allocating hugetlbfs pool pages via /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages, the
pages will be interleaved between all nodes of the system. If nodes are
not equal, it is quite possible for one node to fill up before the others.
When this happens, the code still attempts to allocate pages from the
full node. This results in calls to direct reclaim and compaction which
slow things down considerably.
When allocating pool pages, note the state of the previous allocation for
each node. If previous allocation failed, do not use the aggressive retry
algorithm on successive attempts. The allocation will still succeed if
there is memory available, but it will not try as hard to free up memory.

Mike Kravetz reports that "hugetlb allocations could stall for minutes or
hours when should_compact_retry() would return true more often then it
should. Specifically, this was in the case where compact_result was
COMPACT_DEFERRED and COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED and no progress was being
made."
The problem is that the compaction_withdrawn() test in
should_compact_retry() includes compaction outcomes that are only possible
on low compaction priority, and results in a retry without increasing the
priority. This may result in furter reclaim, and more incomplete
compaction attempts.
With this patch, compaction priority is raised when possible, or
should_compact_retry() returns false.
The COMPACT_SKIPPED result doesn't really fit together with the other
outcomes in compaction_withdrawn(), as that's a result caused by
insufficient order-0 pages, not due to low compaction priority. With this
patch, it is moved to a new compaction_needs_reclaim() function, and for
that outcome we keep the current logic of retrying if it looks like
reclaim will be able to help.

After commit "mm, reclaim: make should_continue_reclaim perform dryrun
detection", closer look at the function shows, that nr_reclaimed == 0
means the function will always return false. And since non-zero
nr_reclaimed implies non_zero nr_scanned, testing nr_scanned serves no
purpose, and so does the testing for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL.
This patch thus cleans up the function to test only !nr_reclaimed upfront,
and remove the __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL test and nr_scanned parameter
completely. Comment is also updated, explaining that approximating "full
LRU list has been scanned" with nr_scanned == 0 didn't really work.

Patch series "address hugetlb page allocation stalls", v2.
Allocation of hugetlb pages via sysctl or procfs can stall for minutes or
hours. A simple example on a two node system with 8GB of memory is as
follows:
echo 4096 > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
echo 4096 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
Obviously, both allocation attempts will fall short of their 8GB goal.
However, one or both of these commands may stall and not be interruptible.
The issues were initially discussed in mail thread [1] and RFC code at
[2].
This series addresses the issues causing the stalls. There are two
distinct fixes, a cleanup, and an optimization. The reclaim patch by
Hillf and compaction patch by Vlasitmil address corner cases in their
respective areas. hugetlb page allocation could stall due to either of
these issues. Vlasitmil added a cleanup patch after Hillf's
modifications. The hugetlb patch by Mike is an optimization suggested
during the debug and development process.

[2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190724175014.9935-1-mike.kravetz@oracle.com
This patch (of 4):
Address the issue of should_continue_reclaim returning true too often for
__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL attempts when !nr_reclaimed and nr_scanned. This was
observed during hugetlb page allocation causing stalls for minutes or
hours.
We can stop reclaiming pages if compaction reports it can make a progress.
There might be side-effects for other high-order allocations that would
potentially benefit from reclaiming more before compaction so that they
would be faster and less likely to stall. However, the consequences of
premature/over-reclaim are considered worse.
We can also bail out of reclaiming pages if we know that there are not
enough inactive lru pages left to satisfy the costly allocation.
We can give up reclaiming pages too if we see dryrun occur, with the
certainty of plenty of inactive pages. IOW with dryrun detected, we are
sure we have reclaimed as many pages as we could.

Cgroup v1 memcg controller has exposed a dedicated kmem limit to users
which turned out to be really a bad idea because there are paths which
cannot shrink the kernel memory usage enough to get below the limit (e.g.
because the accounted memory is not reclaimable). There are cases when
the failure is even not allowed (e.g. __GFP_NOFAIL). This means that the
kmem limit is in excess to the hard limit without any way to shrink and
thus completely useless. OOM killer cannot be invoked to handle the
situation because that would lead to a premature oom killing.
As a result many places might see ENOMEM returning from kmalloc and result
in unexpected errors. E.g. a global OOM killer when there is a lot of
free memory because ENOMEM is translated into VM_FAULT_OOM in #PF path and
therefore pagefault_out_of_memory would result in OOM killer.
Please note that the kernel memory is still accounted to the overall limit
along with the user memory so removing the kmem specific limit should
still allow to contain kernel memory consumption. Unlike the kmem one,
though, it invokes memory reclaim and targeted memcg oom killing if
necessary.
Start the deprecation process by crying to the kernel log. Let's see
whether there are relevant usecases and simply return to EINVAL in the
second stage if nobody complains in few releases.

constrained_alloc() calculates the size of the oom domain by using
node_spanned_pages which is incorrect because this is the full range of
the physical memory range that the numa node occupies rather than the
memory that backs that range which is represented by node_present_pages.
Sparsely populated nodes (e.g. after memory hot remove or simply sparse
due to memory layout) can have really a large difference between the two.
This shouldn't really cause any real user observable problems because the
oom calculates a ratio against totalpages and used memory cannot exceed
present pages but it is confusing and wrong from code point of view.
