ll_rw_block() is not safe for the sync read path because it cannot guarantee that submitting read IO if the buffer has been locked. We could get false positive EIO after wait_on_buffer() if the buffer has been locked by others. So stop using ll_rw_block() in ufs.

Current ll_rw_block() helper is fragile because it assumes that locked buffer means it's under IO which is submitted by some other who holds the lock, it skip buffer if it failed to get the lock, so it's only safe on the readahead path. Unfortunately, now that most filesystems still use this helper mistakenly on the sync metadata read path. There is no guarantee that the one who holds the buffer lock always submit IO (e.g. buffer_migrate_folio_norefs() after commit 88dbcbb3 ("blkdev: avoid migration stalls for blkdev pages"), it could lead to false positive -EIO when submitting reading IO. This patch add some friendly buffer read helpers to prepare replacing ll_rw_block() and similar calls. We can only call bh_readahead_[] helpers for the readahead paths.

Patch series "fs/buffer: remove ll_rw_block()", v2. ll_rw_block() will skip locked buffer before submitting IO, it assumes that locked buffer means it is under IO. This assumption is not always true because we cannot guarantee every buffer lock path would submit IO. After commit 88dbcbb3 ("blkdev: avoid migration stalls for blkdev pages"), buffer_migrate_folio_norefs() becomes one exceptional case, and there may be others. So ll_rw_block() is not safe on the sync read path, we could get false positive EIO return value when filesystem reading metadata. It seems that it could be only used on the readahead path. Unfortunately, many filesystem misuse the ll_rw_block() on the sync read path. This patch set just remove ll_rw_block() and add new friendly helpers, which could prevent false positive EIO on the read metadata path. Thanks for the suggestion from Jan, the original discussion is at [1]. patch 1: remove unused helpers in fs/buffer.c patch 2: add new bh_read_[*] helpers patch 3-11: remove all ll_rw_block() calls in filesystems patch 12-14: do some leftover cleanups.

The damon regions that belong to the same damon target have the same 'struct mm_struct *mm', so it's unnecessary to compare the mm and last_mm objects among the damon regions in one damon target when checking accesses. But the check is necessary when the target changed in '__damon_va_check_accesses()', so we can simplify the whole operation by using the bool 'same_target' to indicate whether the target changed.

Convert to use folios throughout. This is in preparation for the removal for find_get_pages_contig(). Now also supports large folios. The initial version of this function set the page_address to be returned after finishing all the checks. Since folio_batches have a maximum of 15 folios, the function had to be modified to support getting and checking up to lpages, 15 pages at a time while still returning the initial page address. Now the function sets ret as soon as the first batch arrives, and updates it only if a check fails. The physical adjacency check utilizes the page frame numbers. The page frame number of each folio must be nr_pages away from the first folio. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220824004023.77310-7-vishal.moola@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

In commit 2f1ee091 ("Revert "mm: use early_pfn_to_nid in page_ext_init""), we call page_ext_init() after page_alloc_init_late() to avoid some panic problem. It seems that we cannot track early page allocations in current kernel even if page structure has been initialized early. This patch introduces a new boot parameter 'early_page_ext' to resolve this problem. If we pass it to the kernel, page_ext_init() will be moved up and the feature 'deferred initialization of struct pages' will be disabled to initialize the page allocator early and prevent the panic problem above. It can help us to catch early page allocations. This is useful especially when we find that the free memory value is not the same right after different kernel booting.

When pud-sized hugepages were introduced for s390, the generic version of follow_huge_pud() was using pte_page() instead of pud_page(). This would be wrong for s390, see also commit 97534127 ("mm/hugetlb: use pmd_page() in follow_huge_pmd()"). Therefore, and probably because not all archs were supporting pud_page() at that time, a private version of follow_huge_pud() was added for s390, correctly using pud_page(). Since commit 3a194f3f ("mm/hugetlb: make pud_huge() and follow_huge_pud() aware of non-present pud entry"), the generic version of follow_huge_pud() is now also using pud_page(), and in general behaves similar to follow_huge_pmd(). Therefore we can now switch to the generic version and get rid of the s390-specific follow_huge_pud(). Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220818135717.609eef8a@thinkpadSigned-off-by:

For several years, MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH was kept at 32 but with bigger machines and the network intensive workloads requiring througput in Gbps, 32 is too small and makes the memcg charging path a bottleneck. For now, increase it to 64 for easy acceptance to 6.0. We will need to revisit this in future for ever increasing demand of higher performance. Please note that the memcg charge path drain the per-cpu memcg charge stock, so there should not be any oom behavior change. Though it does have impact on rstat flushing and high limit reclaim backoff. To evaluate the impact of this optimization, on a 72 CPUs machine, we ran the following workload in a three level of cgroup hierarchy. $ netserver -6 # 36 instances of netperf with following params $ netperf -6 -H ::1 -l 60 -t TCP_SENDFILE -- -m 10K Results (average throughput of netperf): Without (6.0-rc1) 10482.7 Mbps With patch 17064.7 Mbps (62.7% improvement) With the patch, the throughput improved by 62.7%.

With memcg v2 enabled, memcg->memory.usage is a very hot member for the workloads doing memcg charging on multiple CPUs concurrently. Particularly the network intensive workloads. In addition, there is a false cache sharing between memory.usage and memory.high on the charge path. This patch moves the usage into a separate cacheline and move all the read most fields into separate cacheline. To evaluate the impact of this optimization, on a 72 CPUs machine, we ran the following workload in a three level of cgroup hierarchy. $ netserver -6 # 36 instances of netperf with following params $ netperf -6 -H ::1 -l 60 -t TCP_SENDFILE -- -m 10K Results (average throughput of netperf): Without (6.0-rc1) 10482.7 Mbps With patch 12413.7 Mbps (18.4% improvement) With the patch, the throughput improved by 18.4%. One side-effect of this patch is the increase in the size of struct mem_cgroup. For example with this patch on 64 bit build, the size of struct mem_cgroup increased from 4032 bytes to 4416 bytes. However for the performance improvement, this additional size is worth it. In addition there are opportunities to reduce the size of struct mem_cgroup like deprecation of kmem and tcpmem page counters and better packing.

Patch series "memcg: optimize charge codepath", v2. Recently Linux networking stack has moved from a very old per socket pre-charge caching to per-cpu caching to avoid pre-charge fragmentation and unwarranted OOMs. One impact of this change is that for network traffic workloads, memcg charging codepath can become a bottleneck. The kernel test robot has also reported this regression[1]. This patch series tries to improve the memcg charging for such workloads. This patch series implement three optimizations: (A) Reduce atomic ops in page counter update path. (B) Change layout of struct page_counter to eliminate false sharing between usage and high. (C) Increase the memcg charge batch to 64. To evaluate the impact of these optimizations, on a 72 CPUs machine, we ran the following workload in root memcg and then compared with scenario where the workload is run in a three level of cgroup hierarchy with top level having min and low setup appropriately. $ netserver -6 # 36 instances of netperf with following params $ netperf -6 -H ::1 -l 60 -t TCP_SENDFILE -- -m 10K Results (average throughput of netperf): 1. root memcg 21694.8 Mbps 2. 6.0-rc1 10482.7 Mbps (-51.6%) 3. 6.0-rc1 + (A) 14542.5 Mbps (-32.9%) 4. 6.0-rc1 + (B) 12413.7 Mbps (-42.7%) 5. 6.0-rc1 + (C) 17063.7 Mbps (-21.3%) 6. 6.0-rc1 + (A+B+C) 20120.3 Mbps (-7.2%) With all three optimizations, the memcg overhead of this workload has been reduced from 51.6% to just 7.2%. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20220619150456.GB34471@xsang-OptiPlex-9020/ This patch (of 3): For cgroups using low or min protections, the function propagate_protected_usage() was doing an atomic xchg() operation irrespectively. We can optimize out this atomic operation for one specific scenario where the workload is using the protection (i.e. min > 0) and the usage is above the protection (i.e. usage > min). This scenario is actually very common where the users want a part of their workload to be protected against the external reclaim. Though this optimization does introduce a race when the usage is around the protection and concurrent charges and uncharged trip it over or under the protection. In such cases, we might see lower effective protection but the subsequent charge/uncharge will correct it. To evaluate the impact of this optimization, on a 72 CPUs machine, we ran the following workload in a three level of cgroup hierarchy with top level having min and low setup appropriately to see if this optimization is effective for the mentioned case. $ netserver -6 # 36 instances of netperf with following params $ netperf -6 -H ::1 -l 60 -t TCP_SENDFILE -- -m 10K Results (average throughput of netperf): Without (6.0-rc1) 10482.7 Mbps With patch 14542.5 Mbps (38.7% improvement) With the patch, the throughput improved by 38.7% Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220825000506.239406-1-shakeelb@google.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220825000506.239406-2-shakeelb@google.comSigned-off-by: -
