Note that the kernel's code segment [512 MB] points to the same physical addresses that have been already mapped in the kernel's direct mapping range.

All of the VM NUMA stats are event counts, incremented never decremented: it is not very useful for vmstat_refresh() to check them throughout their first aeon, then warn on them throughout their next. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LSU.2.11.2102251514110.13363@eggly.anvilsSigned-off-by:

vmstat_refresh() can occasionally catch nr_zone_write_pending and nr_writeback when they are transiently negative. The reason is partly that the interrupt which decrements them in test_clear_page_writeback() can come in before __test_set_page_writeback() got to increment them; but transient negatives are still seen even when that is prevented, and I am not yet certain why (but see Roman's note below). Those stats are not buggy, they have never been seen to drift away from 0 permanently: so just avoid the annoyance of showing a warning on them. Similarly avoid showing a warning on nr_free_cma: CMA users have seen that one reported negative from /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh too, but it does drift away permanently: I believe that's because its incrementation and decrementation are decided by page migratetype, but the migratetype of a pageblock is not guaranteed to be constant. Roman Gushchin points out: "For performance reasons, vmstat counters are incremented and decremented using per-cpu batches. vmstat_refresh() flushes the per-cpu batches on all CPUs, to get values as accurate as possible; but this method is not atomic, so the resulting value is not always precise. As a consequence, for those counters whose actual value is close to 0, a small negative value may occasionally be reported. If the value is small and the state is transient, it is not an indication of an error" Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200714173747.3315771-1-guro@fb.com/ Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LSU.2.11.2103012158540.7549@eggly.anvilsSigned-off-by:

EINVAL was good for drawing the refresher's attention to a warning in dmesg, but became very tiresome when running test suites scripted with "set -e": an underflow from a bug in one feature would cause unrelated tests much later to fail, just because their /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh touch failed with that error.

In v4.7 commit 52b6f46b ("mm: /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh to force vmstat update") introduced vmstat_refresh(), with its vmstat underflow checking; then in v4.8 commit 75ef7184 ("mm, vmstat: add infrastructure for per-node vmstats") split NR_VM_NODE_STAT_ITEMS out of NR_VM_ZONE_STAT_ITEMS without updating vmstat_refresh(): so it has been missing out much of the vmstat underflow checking ever since.

When removing rmap_item from stable tree, STABLE_FLAG of rmap_item is cleared with head reserved. So the following scenario might happen: For ksm page with rmap_item1: cmp_and_merge_page stable_node->head = &migrate_nodes; remove_rmap_item_from_tree, but head still equal to stable_node; try_to_merge_with_ksm_page failed; return; For the same ksm page with rmap_item2, stable node migration succeed this time. The stable_node->head does not equal to migrate_nodes now. For ksm page with rmap_item1 again: cmp_and_merge_page stable_node->head != &migrate_nodes && rmap_item->head == stable_node return; We would miss the rmap_item for stable_node and might result in failed rmap_walk_ksm(). Fix this by set rmap_item->head to NULL when rmap_item is removed from stable tree.

Since CMA is getting used more widely, it's more important to keep monitoring CMA statistics for system health since it's directly related to user experience. This patch introduces sysfs statistics for CMA, in order to provide some basic monitoring of the CMA allocator. * the number of CMA page successful allocations * the number of CMA page allocation failures These two values allow the user to calcuate the allocation failure rate for each CMA area. e.g.) /sys/kernel/mm/cma/WIFI/alloc_pages_[success|fail] /sys/kernel/mm/cma/SENSOR/alloc_pages_[success|fail] /sys/kernel/mm/cma/BLUETOOTH/alloc_pages_[success|fail] The cma_stat was intentionally allocated by dynamic allocation to harmonize with kobject lifetime management. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/YCOAmXqt6dZkCQYs@kroah.com/ Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210324230759.2213957-1-minchan@kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20210316100433.17665-1-colin.king@canonical.com/Signed-off-by:

This reverts commit c77c5cba. Since commit c77c5cba ("mm: migrate: skip shared exec THP for NUMA balancing"), the NUMA balancing would skip shared exec transhuge page. But this enhancement is not suitable for transhuge page. Because it's required that page_mapcount() must be 1 due to no migration pte dance is done here. On the other hand, the shared exec transhuge page will leave the migrate_misplaced_page() with pte entry untouched and page locked. Thus pagefault for NUMA will be triggered again and deadlock occurs when we start waiting for the page lock held by ourselves. Yang Shi said: "Thanks for catching this. By relooking the code I think the other important reason for removing this is migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() actually can't see shared exec file THP at all since page_lock_anon_vma_read() is called before and if page is not anonymous page it will just restore the PMD without migrating anything. The pages for private mapped file vma may be anonymous pages due to COW but they can't be THP so it won't trigger THP numa fault at all. I think this is why no bug was reported. I overlooked this in the first place." Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210325131524.48181-6-linmiaohe@huawei.comSigned-off-by:

Pages containing buffer_heads that are in one of the per-CPU buffer_head LRU caches will be pinned and thus cannot be migrated. This can prevent CMA allocations from succeeding, which are often used on platforms with co-processors (such as a DSP) that can only use physically contiguous memory. It can also prevent memory hot-unplugging from succeeding, which involves migrating at least MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE bytes of memory, which ranges from 8 MiB to 1 GiB based on the architecture in use. Correspondingly, invalidate the BH LRU caches before a migration starts and stop any buffer_head from being cached in the LRU caches, until migration has finished.

LRU pagevec holds refcount of pages until the pagevec are drained. It could prevent migration since the refcount of the page is greater than the expection in migration logic. To mitigate the issue, callers of migrate_pages drains LRU pagevec via migrate_prep or lru_add_drain_all before migrate_pages call. However, it's not enough because pages coming into pagevec after the draining call still could stay at the pagevec so it could keep preventing page migration. Since some callers of migrate_pages have retrial logic with LRU draining, the page would migrate at next trail but it is still fragile in that it doesn't close the fundamental race between upcoming LRU pages into pagvec and migration so the migration failure could cause contiguous memory allocation failure in the end. To close the race, this patch disables lru caches(i.e, pagevec) during ongoing migration until migrate is done. Since it's really hard to reproduce, I measured how many times migrate_pages retried with force mode(it is about a fallback to a sync migration) with below debug code. int migrate_pages(struct list_head *from, new_page_t get_new_page, .. .. if (rc && reason == MR_CONTIG_RANGE && pass > 2) { printk(KERN_ERR, "pfn 0x%lx reason %d", page_to_pfn(page), rc); dump_page(page, "fail to migrate"); } The test was repeating android apps launching with cma allocation in background every five seconds. Total cma allocation count was about 500 during the testing. With this patch, the dump_page count was reduced from 400 to 30. The new interface is also useful for memory hotplug which currently drains lru pcp caches after each migration failure. This is rather suboptimal as it has to disrupt others running during the operation. With the new interface the operation happens only once. This is also in line with pcp allocator cache which are disabled for the offlining as well. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210319175127.886124-1-minchan@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: -

By definition, COMPACT[STALL|FAIL] events needs to be counted when there is 'At least in one zone compaction wasn't deferred or skipped from the direct compaction'. And when compaction is skipped or deferred, COMPACT_SKIPPED will be returned but it will still go and update these compaction events which is wrong in the sense that COMPACT[STALL|FAIL] is counted without even trying the compaction. Correct this by skipping the counting of these events when COMPACT_SKIPPED is returned for compaction. This indirectly also avoid the unnecessary try into the get_page_from_freelist() when compaction is not even tried. There is a corner case where compaction is skipped but still count COMPACTSTALL event, which is that IRQ came and freed the page and the same is captured in capture_control.

Now nr_deferred is available on per memcg level for memcg aware shrinkers, so don't need allocate shrinker->nr_deferred for such shrinkers anymore. The prealloc_memcg_shrinker() would return -ENOSYS if !CONFIG_MEMCG or memcg is disabled by kernel command line, then shrinker's SHRINKER_MEMCG_AWARE flag would be cleared. This makes the implementation of this patch simpler. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210311190845.9708-12-shy828301@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

Use per memcg's nr_deferred for memcg aware shrinkers. The shrinker's nr_deferred will be used in the following cases: 1. Non memcg aware shrinkers 2. !CONFIG_MEMCG 3. memcg is disabled by boot parameter Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210311190845.9708-11-shy828301@gmail.comSigned-off-by: -

Currently the number of deferred objects are per shrinker, but some slabs, for example, vfs inode/dentry cache are per memcg, this would result in poor isolation among memcgs. The deferred objects typically are generated by __GFP_NOFS allocations, one memcg with excessive __GFP_NOFS allocations may blow up deferred objects, then other innocent memcgs may suffer from over shrink, excessive reclaim latency, etc. For example, two workloads run in memcgA and memcgB respectively, workload in B is vfs heavy workload. Workload in A generates excessive deferred objects, then B's vfs cache might be hit heavily (drop half of caches) by B's limit reclaim or global reclaim. We observed this hit in our production environment which was running vfs heavy workload shown as the below tracing log: <...>-409454 [016] .... 28286961.747146: mm_shrink_slab_start: super_cache_scan+0x0/0x1a0 ffff9a83046f3458: nid: 1 objects to shrink 3641681686040 gfp_flags GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_ZERO pgs_scanned 1 lru_pgs 15721 cache items 246404277 delta 31345 total_scan 123202138 <...>-409454 [022] .... 28287105.928018: mm_shrink_slab_end: super_cache_scan+0x0/0x1a0 ffff9a83046f3458: nid: 1 unused scan count 3641681686040 new scan count 3641798379189 total_scan 602 last shrinker return val 123186855 The vfs cache and page cache ratio was 10:1 on this machine, and half of caches were dropped. This also resulted in significant amount of page caches were dropped due to inodes eviction. Make nr_deferred per memcg for memcg aware shrinkers would solve the unfairness and bring better isolation. The following patch will add nr_deferred to parent memcg when memcg offline. To preserve nr_deferred when reparenting memcgs to root, root memcg needs shrinker_info allocated too. When memcg is not enabled (!CONFIG_MEMCG or memcg disabled), the shrinker's nr_deferred would be used. And non memcg aware shrinkers use shrinker's nr_deferred all the time.

Currently registered shrinker is indicated by non-NULL shrinker->nr_deferred. This approach is fine with nr_deferred at the shrinker level, but the following patches will move MEMCG_AWARE shrinkers' nr_deferred to memcg level, so their shrinker->nr_deferred would always be NULL. This would prevent the shrinkers from unregistering correctly. Remove SHRINKER_REGISTERING since we could check if shrinker is registered successfully by the new flag.
