Patch series "mm/damon: provide pseudo-moving sum based access rate". DAMON checks the access to each region for every sampling interval, increase the access rate counter of the region, namely nr_accesses, if the access was made. For every aggregation interval, the counter is reset. The counter is exposed to users to be used as a metric showing the relative access rate (frequency) of each region. In other words, DAMON provides access rate of each region in every aggregation interval. The aggregation avoids temporal access pattern changes making things confusing. However, this also makes a few DAMON-related operations to unnecessarily need to be aligned to the aggregation interval. This can restrict the flexibility of DAMON applications, especially when the aggregation interval is huge. To provide the monitoring results in finer-grained timing while keeping handling of temporal access pattern change, this patchset implements a pseudo-moving sum based access rate metric. It is pseudo-moving sum because strict moving sum implementation would need to keep all values for last time window, and that could incur high overhead of there could be arbitrary number of values in a time window. Especially in case of the nr_accesses, since the sampling interval and aggregation interval can arbitrarily set and the past values should be maintained for every region, it could be risky. The pseudo-moving sum assumes there were no temporal access pattern change in last discrete time window to remove the needs for keeping the list of the last time window values. As a result, it beocmes not strict moving sum implementation, but provides a reasonable accuracy. Also, it keeps an important property of the moving sum. That is, the moving sum becomes same to discrete-window based sum at the time that aligns to the time window. This means using the pseudo moving sum based nr_accesses makes no change to users who shows the value for every aggregation interval. Patches Sequence ---------------- The sequence of the patches is as follows. The first four patches are for preparation of the change. The first two (patches 1 and 2) implements a helper function for nr_accesses update and eliminate corner case that skips use of the function, respectively. Following two (patches 3 and 4) respectively implement the pseudo-moving sum function and its simple unit test case. Two patches for making DAMON to use the pseudo-moving sum follow. The fifthe one (patch 5) introduces a new field for representing the pseudo-moving sum-based access rate of each region, and the sixth one makes the new representation to actually updated with the pseudo-moving sum function. Last two patches (patches 7 and 8) makes followup fixes for skipping unnecessary updates and marking the moving sum function as static, respectively. This patch (of 8): Each DAMON operarions set is updating nr_accesses field of each damon_region for each of their access check results, from the check_accesses() callback. Directly accessing the field could make things complex to manage and change in future. Define and use a dedicated function for the purpose.

DAMON sleeps for sampling interval after each sampling, and check if the aggregation interval and the ops update interval have passed using ktime_get_coarse_ts64() and baseline timestamps for the intervals. That design is for making the operations occur at deterministic timing regardless of the time that spend for each work. However, it turned out it is not that useful, and incur not-that-intuitive results. After all, timer functions, and especially sleep functions that DAMON uses to wait for specific timing, are not necessarily strictly accurate. It is legal design, so no problem. However, depending on such inaccuracies, the nr_accesses can be larger than aggregation interval divided by sampling interval. For example, with the default setting (5 ms sampling interval and 100 ms aggregation interval) we frequently show regions having nr_accesses larger than 20. Also, if the execution of a DAMOS scheme takes a long time, next aggregation could happen before enough number of samples are collected. This is not what usual users would intuitively expect. Since access check sampling is the smallest unit work of DAMON, using the number of passed sampling intervals as the DAMON-internal timer can easily avoid these problems. That is, convert aggregation and ops update intervals to numbers of sampling intervals that need to be passed before those operations be executed, count the number of passed sampling intervals, and invoke the operations as soon as the specific amount of sampling intervals passed. Make the change. Note that this could make a behavioral change to settings that using intervals that not aligned by the sampling interval. For example, if the sampling interval is 5 ms and the aggregation interval is 12 ms, DAMON effectively uses 15 ms as its aggregation interval, because it checks whether the aggregation interval after sleeping the sampling interval. This change will make DAMON to effectively use 10 ms as aggregation interval, since it uses 'aggregation interval / sampling interval * sampling interval' as the effective aggregation interval, and we don't use floating point types. Usual users would have used aligned intervals, so this behavioral change is not expected to make any meaningful impact, so just make this change.

__flush_dcache_pages() is called during hugetlb migration via migrate_pages() -> migrate_hugetlbs() -> unmap_and_move_huge_page() -> move_to_new_folio() -> flush_dcache_folio(). And with hugetlb and without sparsemem vmemmap, struct page is not guaranteed to be contiguous beyond a section. Use nth_page() instead. Without the fix, a wrong address might be used for data cache page flush. No bug is reported. The fix comes from code inspection.

Patch series "Use nth_page() in place of direct struct page manipulation", v3. On SPARSEMEM without VMEMMAP, struct page is not guaranteed to be contiguous, since each memory section's memmap might be allocated independently. hugetlb pages can go beyond a memory section size, thus direct struct page manipulation on hugetlb pages/subpages might give wrong struct page. Kernel provides nth_page() to do the manipulation properly. Use that whenever code can see hugetlb pages.

This isolate_mode_t flag is effectively unused since 89f6c88a ("mm: __isolate_lru_page_prepare() in isolate_migratepages_block()") as sc->may_unmap is now checked directly (and only node_reclaim has a mode that sets it to 0). The last remaining place is mm_vmscan_lru_isolate tracepoint for the isolate_mode parameter. That one was mainly used to indicate the active/inactive mode, which the trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl script consumed, but that got silently broken. After fixing the script by the previous patch, it does not need the isolate_mode anymore. So just remove the parameter and with that the whole ISOLATE_UNMAPPED flag.

The script has fallen behind tracepoint changes for a while, fix it up. Most changes are mechanical (renames, removal of tracepoint parameters that are not used by the script). More notable change involves mm_vmscan_lru_isolate which is relying on the isolate_mode to determine if the inactive list is being scanned. However the parameter currently only indicates ISOLATE_UNMAPPED. We can use the lru parameter instead to determine which list is scanned, and stop checking isolate_mode.

Patch series "mm/damon: add a tracepoint for damos apply target regions", v2. DAMON provides damon_aggregated tracepoint to let users record full monitoring results. Sometimes, users need to record monitoring results of specific pattern. DAMOS tried regions directory of DAMON sysfs interface allows it, but the interface is mainly designed for snapshots and therefore would be inefficient for such recording. Implement yet another tracepoint for efficient support of the usecase. This patch (of 2): DAMON provides damon_aggregated tracepoint, which exposes details of each region and its access monitoring results. It is useful for getting whole monitoring results, e.g., for recording purposes. For investigations of DAMOS, DAMON Sysfs interface provides DAMOS statistics and tried_regions directory. But, those provides only statistics and snapshots. If the scheme is frequently applied and if the user needs to know every detail of DAMOS behavior, the snapshot-based interface could be insufficient and expensive. As a last resort, userspace users need to record the all monitoring results via damon_aggregated tracepoint and simulate how DAMOS would worked. It is unnecessarily complicated. DAMON kernel API users, meanwhile, can do that easily via before_damos_apply() callback field of 'struct damon_callback', though. Add a tracepoint that will be called just after before_damos_apply() callback for more convenient investigations of DAMOS. The tracepoint exposes all details about each regions, similar to damon_aggregated tracepoint. Please note that DAMOS is currently not only for memory management but also for query-like efficient monitoring results retrievals (when 'stat' action is used). Until now, only statistics or snapshots were supported. Addition of this tracepoint allows efficient full recording of DAMOS-based filtered monitoring results.

Let's handle it in the caller; no need for the "first" check based on the mapcount. We really only end up with !anon pages in page_add_anon_rmap() via do_swap_page(), where we hold the folio lock. So races are not possible. Add a VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO() to make sure that we really hold the folio lock. In the future, we might want to let do_swap_page() use folio_add_new_anon_rmap() on new pages instead: however, we might have to pass then whether the folio is exclusive or not. So keep it in there for now. For hugetlb we never expect to have a non-anon page in hugepage_add_anon_rmap(). Remove that code, along with some other checks that are either not required or were checked in hugepage_add_new_anon_rmap() already.

Patch series "Anon rmap cleanups". Some cleanups around rmap for anon pages. I'm working on more cleanups also around file rmap -- also to handle the "compound" parameter internally only and to let hugetlb use page_add_file_rmap(), but these changes make sense separately. This patch (of 6): That comment was added in commit 5dbe0af4 ("mm: fix kernel BUG at mm/rmap.c:1017!") to document why we can see vma->vm_end getting adjusted concurrently due to a VMA split. However, the optimized locking code was changed again in bf181b9f ("mm anon rmap: replace same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree."). ... and later, the comment was changed in commit 0503ea8f ("mm/mmap: remove __vma_adjust()") to talk about "vma_merge" although the original issue was with VMA splitting. Let's just remove that comment. Nowadays, it's outdated, imprecise and confusing.

When looking at the code in the memory part, I found that the purpose of the function prepare_scan_countis very different from the function name. It is easy to misunderstand when reading.The function prepare_scan_count mainly completes the assignment of the scan_control structure.Therefore, I suggest that the function name can be changed to prepare_scan_control, which is easier to understand.

Now there are no readers of shrinker_rwsem, so we can simply replace it with mutex lock. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: update the fix to alloc_shrinker_info()] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230911094444.68966-46-zhengqi.arch@bytedance.comSigned-off-by:

For now, reparent_shrinker_deferred() is the only holder of read lock of shrinker_rwsem. And it already holds the global cgroup_mutex, so it will not be called in parallel. Therefore, in order to convert shrinker_rwsem to shrinker_mutex later, here we change to hold the write lock of shrinker_rwsem to reparent.

Like global slab shrink, this commit also uses refcount+RCU method to make memcg slab shrink lockless. Use the following script to do slab shrink stress test: ``` DIR="/root/shrinker/memcg/mnt" do_create() { mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test echo 4G > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes for i in `seq 0 $1`; do mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i; echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i/cgroup.procs; mkdir -p $DIR/$i; done } do_mount() { for i in `seq $1 $2`; do mount -t tmpfs $i $DIR/$i; done } do_touch() { for i in `seq $1 $2`; do echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i/cgroup.procs; dd if=/dev/zero of=$DIR/$i/file$i bs=1M count=1 & done } case "$1" in touch) do_touch $2 $3 ;; test) do_create 4000 do_mount 0 4000 do_touch 0 3000 ;; *) exit 1 ;; esac ``` Save the above script, then run test and touch commands. Then we can use the following perf command to view hotspots: perf top -U -F 999 1) Before applying this patchset: 33.15% [kernel] [k] down_read_trylock 25.38% [kernel] [k] shrink_slab 21.75% [kernel] [k] up_read 4.45% [kernel] [k] _find_next_bit 2.27% [kernel] [k] do_shrink_slab 1.80% [kernel] [k] intel_idle_irq 1.79% [kernel] [k] shrink_lruvec 0.67% [kernel] [k] xas_descend 0.41% [kernel] [k] mem_cgroup_iter 0.40% [kernel] [k] shrink_node 0.38% [kernel] [k] list_lru_count_one 2) After applying this patchset: 64.56% [kernel] [k] shrink_slab 12.18% [kernel] [k] do_shrink_slab 3.30% [kernel] [k] __rcu_read_unlock 2.61% [kernel] [k] shrink_lruvec 2.49% [kernel] [k] __rcu_read_lock 1.93% [kernel] [k] intel_idle_irq 0.89% [kernel] [k] shrink_node 0.81% [kernel] [k] mem_cgroup_iter 0.77% [kernel] [k] mem_cgroup_calculate_protection 0.66% [kernel] [k] list_lru_count_one We can see that the first perf hotspot becomes shrink_slab, which is what we expect.

The shrinker_rwsem is a global read-write lock in shrinkers subsystem, which protects most operations such as slab shrink, registration and unregistration of shrinkers, etc. This can easily cause problems in the following cases. 1) When the memory pressure is high and there are many filesystems mounted or unmounted at the same time, slab shrink will be affected (down_read_trylock() failed). Such as the real workload mentioned by Kirill Tkhai: ``` One of the real workloads from my experience is start of an overcommitted node containing many starting containers after node crash (or many resuming containers after reboot for kernel update). In these cases memory pressure is huge, and the node goes round in long reclaim. ``` 2) If a shrinker is blocked (such as the case mentioned in [1]) and a writer comes in (such as mount a fs), then this writer will be blocked and cause all subsequent shrinker-related operations to be blocked. Even if there is no competitor when shrinking slab, there may still be a problem. The down_read_trylock() may become a perf hotspot with frequent calls to shrink_slab(). Because of the poor multicore scalability of atomic operations, this can lead to a significant drop in IPC (instructions per cycle). We used to implement the lockless slab shrink with SRCU [2], but then kernel test robot reported -88.8% regression in stress-ng.ramfs.ops_per_sec test case [3], so we reverted it [4]. This commit uses the refcount+RCU method [5] proposed by Dave Chinner to re-implement the lockless global slab shrink. The memcg slab shrink is handled in the subsequent patch. For now, all shrinker instances are converted to dynamically allocated and will be freed by call_rcu(). So we can use rcu_read_{lock,unlock}() to ensure that the shrinker instance is valid. And the shrinker instance will not be run again after unregistration. So the structure that records the pointer of shrinker instance can be safely freed without waiting for the RCU read-side critical section. In this way, while we implement the lockless slab shrink, we don't need to be blocked in unregister_shrinker(). The following are the test results: stress-ng --timeout 60 --times --verify --metrics-brief --ramfs 9 & 1) Before applying this patchset: setting to a 60 second run per stressor dispatching hogs: 9 ramfs stressor bogo ops real time usr time sys time bogo ops/s bogo ops/s (secs) (secs) (secs) (real time) (usr+sys time) ramfs 473062 60.00 8.00 279.13 7884.12 1647.59 for a 60.01s run time: 1440.34s available CPU time 7.99s user time ( 0.55%) 279.13s system time ( 19.38%) 287.12s total time ( 19.93%) load average: 7.12 2.99 1.15 successful run completed in 60.01s (1 min, 0.01 secs) 2) After applying this patchset: setting to a 60 second run per stressor dispatching hogs: 9 ramfs stressor bogo ops real time usr time sys time bogo ops/s bogo ops/s (secs) (secs) (secs) (real time) (usr+sys time) ramfs 477165 60.00 8.13 281.34 7952.55 1648.40 for a 60.01s run time: 1440.33s available CPU time 8.12s user time ( 0.56%) 281.34s system time ( 19.53%) 289.46s total time ( 20.10%) load average: 6.98 3.03 1.19 successful run completed in 60.01s (1 min, 0.01 secs) We can see that the ops/s has hardly changed.

With the new shrinker APIs, there is no action such as prealloc, so rename {prealloc|unregister}_memcg_shrinker() to shrinker_memcg_{alloc|remove}(), which corresponds to the idr_{alloc|remove}() inside the function.
