Lock buffers before calling into migrate_page_move_mapping() so that that function doesn't have to know about buffers (which is somewhat unexpected anyway) and all the buffer head logic is in buffer_migrate_page(). Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181211172143.7358-3-jack@suse.czSigned-off-by:

Patch series "mm: migrate: Fix page migration stalls for blkdev pages". This patchset deals with page migration stalls that were reported by our customer due to a block device page that had a bufferhead that was in the bh LRU cache. The patchset modifies the page migration code so that bufferheads are completely handled inside buffer_migrate_page() and then provides a new migration helper for pages with buffer heads that is safe to use even for block device pages and that also deals with bh lrus. This patch (of 6): Factor out function to compute number of expected page references in migrate_page_move_mapping(). Note that we move hpage_nr_pages() and page_has_private() checks from under xas_lock_irq() however this is safe since we hold page lock.

drain_all_pages is documented to drain per-cpu pages for a given zone (if non-NULL). The current implementation doesn't match the description though. It will drain all pcp pages for all zones that happen to have cached pages on the same cpu as the given zone. This will lead to premature pcp cache draining for zones that are not of any interest to the caller - e.g. compaction, hwpoison or memory offline. This forces the page allocator to take locks and potential lock contention as a result. There is no real reason for this sub-optimal implementation. Replace per-cpu work item with a dedicated structure which contains a pointer to the zone and pass it over to the worker. This will get the zone information all the way down to the worker function and do the right job.

When CONFIG_KASAN is enabled on large memory SMP systems, the deferrred pages initialization can take a long time. Below were the reported init times on a 8-socket 96-core 4TB IvyBridge system. 1) Non-debug kernel without CONFIG_KASAN [ 8.764222] node 1 initialised, 132086516 pages in 7027ms 2) Debug kernel with CONFIG_KASAN [ 146.288115] node 1 initialised, 132075466 pages in 143052ms So the page init time in a debug kernel was 20X of the non-debug kernel. The long init time can be problematic as the page initialization is done with interrupt disabled. In this particular case, it caused the appearance of following warning messages as well as NMI backtraces of all the cores that were doing the initialization. [ 68.240049] rcu: INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: [ 68.241000] rcu: 25-...0: (100 ticks this GP) idle=b72/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=915/915 fqs=16252 [ 68.241000] rcu: 44-...0: (95 ticks this GP) idle=49a/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=788/788 fqs=16253 [ 68.241000] rcu: 54-...0: (104 ticks this GP) idle=03a/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=721/825 fqs=16253 [ 68.241000] rcu: 60-...0: (103 ticks this GP) idle=cbe/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=637/740 fqs=16253 [ 68.241000] rcu: 72-...0: (105 ticks this GP) idle=786/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=536/641 fqs=16253 [ 68.241000] rcu: 84-...0: (99 ticks this GP) idle=292/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=537/537 fqs=16253 [ 68.241000] rcu: 111-...0: (104 ticks this GP) idle=bde/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=474/476 fqs=16253 [ 68.241000] rcu: (detected by 13, t=65018 jiffies, g=249, q=2) The long init time was mainly caused by the call to kasan_free_pages() to poison the newly initialized pages. On a 4TB system, we are talking about almost 500GB of memory probably on the same node. In reality, we may not need to poison the newly initialized pages before they are ever allocated. So KASAN poisoning of freed pages before the completion of deferred memory initialization is now disabled. Those pages will be properly poisoned when they are allocated or freed after deferred pages initialization is done. With this change, the new page initialization time became: [ 21.948010] node 1 initialised, 132075466 pages in 18702ms This was still about double the non-debug kernel time, but was much better than before.

Currently, NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS and MIGRATE_TYPES are not associated by code. If someone adds extra migrate type, then he may forget to enlarge the NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS. Hence it requires some way to fix. NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS depends on MIGRATE_TYPES, while these macro spread on two different .h file with reverse dependency, it is a little hard to refer to MIGRATE_TYPES in pageblock-flag.h. This patch tries to remind such relation in compiling-time. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1544508709-11358-1-git-send-email-kernelfans@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

ksm thread unconditionally sleeps in ksm_scan_thread() after each iteration: schedule_timeout_interruptible( msecs_to_jiffies(ksm_thread_sleep_millisecs)) The timeout is configured in /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/sleep_millisecs. In case of user writes a big value by a mistake, and the thread enters into schedule_timeout_interruptible(), it's not possible to cancel the sleep by writing a new smaler value; the thread is just sleeping till timeout expires. The patch fixes the problem by waking the thread each time after the value is updated. This also may be useful for debug purposes; and also for userspace daemons, which change sleep_millisecs value in dependence of system load.

filemap_map_pages takes a speculative reference to each page in the range before it tries to lock that page. While this is correct it also can influence page migration which will bail out when seeing an elevated reference count. The faultaround code would bail on seeing a locked page so we can pro-actively check the PageLocked bit before page_cache_get_speculative and prevent from pointless reference count churn.

Memory migration might fail during offlining and we keep retrying in that case. This is currently obfuscated by goto retry loop. The code is hard to follow and as a result it is even suboptimal becase each retry round scans the full range from start_pfn even though we have successfully scanned/migrated [start_pfn, pfn] range already. This is all only because check_pages_isolated failure has to rescan the full range again. De-obfuscate the migration retry loop by promoting it to a real for loop. In fact remove the goto altogether by making it a proper double loop (yeah, gotos are nasty in this specific case). In the end we will get a slightly more optimal code which is better readable.

Patch series "few memory offlining enhancements". I have been chasing memory offlining not making progress recently. On the way I have noticed few weird decisions in the code. The migration itself is restricted without a reasonable justification and the retry loop around the migration is quite messy. This is addressed by patch 1 and patch 2. Patch 3 is targeting on the faultaround code which has been a hot candidate for the initial issue reported upstream [2] and that I am debugging internally. It turned out to be not the main contributor in the end but I believe we should address it regardless. See the patch description for more details. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181120134323.13007-1-mhocko@kernel.org [2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181114070909.GB2653@MiWiFi-R3L-srv This patch (of 3): do_migrate_range has been limiting the number of pages to migrate to 256 for some reason which is not documented. Even if the limit made some sense back then when it was introduced it doesn't really serve a good purpose these days. If the range contains huge pages then we break out of the loop too early and go through LRU and pcp caches draining and scan_movable_pages is quite suboptimal. The only reason to limit the number of pages I can think of is to reduce the potential time to react on the fatal signal. But even then the number of pages is a questionable metric because even a single page migration might block in a non-killable state (e.g. __unmap_and_move). Remove the limit and offline the full requested range (this is one memblock worth of pages with the current code). Should we ever get a report that offlining takes too long to react on fatal signal then we should rather fix the core migration to use killable waits and bailout on a signal.

David Rientjes has reported that commit 18600332 ("mm: make PR_SET_THP_DISABLE immediately active") has changed the way how we report THPable VMAs to the userspace. Their monitoring tool is triggering false alarms on PR_SET_THP_DISABLE tasks because it considers an insufficient THP usage as a memory fragmentation resp. memory pressure issue. Before the said commit each newly created VMA inherited VM_NOHUGEPAGE flag and that got exposed to the userspace via /proc/<pid>/smaps file. This implementation had its downsides as explained in the commit message but it is true that the userspace doesn't have any means to query for the process wide THP enabled/disabled status. PR_SET_THP_DISABLE is a process wide flag so it makes a lot of sense to export in the process wide context rather than per-vma. Introduce a new field to /proc/<pid>/status which export this status. If PR_SET_THP_DISABLE is used then it reports false same as when the THP is not compiled in. It doesn't consider the global THP status because we already export that information via sysfs Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181211143641.3503-4-mhocko@kernel.org Fixes: 18600332 ("mm: make PR_SET_THP_DISABLE immediately active") Signed-off-by:

Userspace falls short when trying to find out whether a specific memory range is eligible for THP. There are usecases that would like to know that http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.21.1809251248450.50347@chino.kir.corp.google.com : This is used to identify heap mappings that should be able to fault thp : but do not, and they normally point to a low-on-memory or fragmentation : issue. The only way to deduce this now is to query for hg resp. nh flags and confronting the state with the global setting. Except that there is also PR_SET_THP_DISABLE that might change the picture. So the final logic is not trivial. Moreover the eligibility of the vma depends on the type of VMA as well. In the past we have supported only anononymous memory VMAs but things have changed and shmem based vmas are supported as well these days and the query logic gets even more complicated because the eligibility depends on the mount option and another global configuration knob. Simplify the current state and report the THP eligibility in /proc/<pid>/smaps for each existing vma. Reuse transparent_hugepage_enabled for this purpose. The original implementation of this function assumes that the caller knows that the vma itself is supported for THP so make the core checks into __transparent_hugepage_enabled and use it for existing callers. __show_smap just use the new transparent_hugepage_enabled which also checks the vma support status (please note that this one has to be out of line due to include dependency issues).

Patch series "THP eligibility reporting via proc". This series of three patches aims at making THP eligibility reporting much more robust and long term sustainable. The trigger for the change is a regression report [2] and the long follow up discussion. In short the specific application didn't have good API to query whether a particular mapping can be backed by THP so it has used VMA flags to workaround that. These flags represent a deep internal state of VMAs and as such they should be used by userspace with a great deal of caution. A similar has happened for [3] when users complained that VM_MIXEDMAP is no longer set on DAX mappings. Again a lack of a proper API led to an abuse. The first patch in the series tries to emphasise that that the semantic of flags might change and any application consuming those should be really careful. The remaining two patches provide a more suitable interface to address [2] and provide a consistent API to query the THP status both for each VMA and process wide as well.

And they are important as well because these flags are a deep implementation internal to the MM code and the semantic might change at any time. Let's consider two recent examples: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181002100531.GC4135@quack2.suse.cz : commit e1fb4a08 "dax: remove VM_MIXEDMAP for fsdax and device dax" has : removed VM_MIXEDMAP flag from DAX VMAs. Now our testing shows that in the : mean time certain customer of ours started poking into /proc/<pid>/smaps : and looks at VMA flags there and if VM_MIXEDMAP is missing among the VMA : flags, the application just fails to start complaining that DAX support is : missing in the kernel. http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.21.1809241054050.224429@chino.kir.corp.google.com : Commit 18600332 ("mm: make PR_SET_THP_DISABLE immediately active") : introduced a regression in that userspace cannot always determine the set : of vmas where thp is ineligible. : Userspace relies on the "nh" flag being emitted as part of /proc/pid/smaps : to determine if a vma is eligible to be backed by hugepages. : Previous to this commit, prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, 1) would cause thp to : be disabled and emit "nh" as a flag for the corresponding vmas as part of : /proc/pid/smaps. After the commit, thp is disabled by means of an mm : flag and "nh" is not emitted. : This causes smaps parsing libraries to assume a vma is eligible for thp : and ends up puzzling the user on why its memory is not backed by thp. In both cases userspace was relying on a semantic of a specific VMA flag. The primary reason why that happened is a lack of a proper interface. While this has been worked on and it will be fixed properly, it seems that our wording could see some refinement and be more vocal about semantic aspect of these flags as well.

Patch series "mmu notifier contextual informations", v2. This patchset adds contextual information, why an invalidation is happening, to mmu notifier callback. This is necessary for user of mmu notifier that wish to maintains their own data structure without having to add new fields to struct vm_area_struct (vma). For instance device can have they own page table that mirror the process address space. When a vma is unmap (munmap() syscall) the device driver can free the device page table for the range. Today we do not have any information on why a mmu notifier call back is happening and thus device driver have to assume that it is always an munmap(). This is inefficient at it means that it needs to re-allocate device page table on next page fault and rebuild the whole device driver data structure for the range. Other use case beside munmap() also exist, for instance it is pointless for device driver to invalidate the device page table when the invalidation is for the soft dirtyness tracking. Or device driver can optimize away mprotect() that change the page table permission access for the range. This patchset enables all this optimizations for device drivers. I do not include any of those in this series but another patchset I am posting will leverage this. The patchset is pretty simple from a code point of view. The first two patches consolidate all mmu notifier arguments into a struct so that it is easier to add/change arguments. The last patch adds the contextual information (munmap, protection, soft dirty, clear, ...). This patch (of 3): To avoid having to change many callback definition everytime we want to add a parameter use a structure to group all parameters for the mmu_notifier invalidate_range_start/end callback.

We have received a bug report that an injected MCE about faulty memory prevents memory offline to succeed on 4.4 base kernel. The underlying reason was that the HWPoison page has an elevated reference count and the migration keeps failing. There are two problems with that. First of all it is dubious to migrate the poisoned page because we know that accessing that memory is possible to fail. Secondly it doesn't make any sense to migrate a potentially broken content and preserve the memory corruption over to a new location. Oscar has found out that 4.4 and the current upstream kernels behave slightly differently with his simply testcase === int main(void) { int ret; int i; int fd; char *array = malloc(4096); char *array_locked = malloc(4096); fd = open("/tmp/data", O_RDONLY); read(fd, array, 4095); for (i = 0; i < 4096; i++) array_locked[i] = 'd'; ret = mlock((void *)PAGE_ALIGN((unsigned long)array_locked), sizeof(array_locked)); if (ret) perror("mlock"); sleep (20); ret = madvise((void *)PAGE_ALIGN((unsigned long)array_locked), 4096, MADV_HWPOISON); if (ret) perror("madvise"); for (i = 0; i < 4096; i++) array_locked[i] = 'd'; return 0; } === + offline this memory. In 4.4 kernels he saw the hwpoisoned page to be returned back to the LRU list kernel: [<ffffffff81019ac9>] dump_trace+0x59/0x340 kernel: [<ffffffff81019e9a>] show_stack_log_lvl+0xea/0x170 kernel: [<ffffffff8101ac71>] show_stack+0x21/0x40 kernel: [<ffffffff8132bb90>] dump_stack+0x5c/0x7c kernel: [<ffffffff810815a1>] warn_slowpath_common+0x81/0xb0 kernel: [<ffffffff811a275c>] __pagevec_lru_add_fn+0x14c/0x160 kernel: [<ffffffff811a2eed>] pagevec_lru_move_fn+0xad/0x100 kernel: [<ffffffff811a334c>] __lru_cache_add+0x6c/0xb0 kernel: [<ffffffff81195236>] add_to_page_cache_lru+0x46/0x70 kernel: [<ffffffffa02b4373>] extent_readpages+0xc3/0x1a0 [btrfs] kernel: [<ffffffff811a16d7>] __do_page_cache_readahead+0x177/0x200 kernel: [<ffffffff811a18c8>] ondemand_readahead+0x168/0x2a0 kernel: [<ffffffff8119673f>] generic_file_read_iter+0x41f/0x660 kernel: [<ffffffff8120e50d>] __vfs_read+0xcd/0x140 kernel: [<ffffffff8120e9ea>] vfs_read+0x7a/0x120 kernel: [<ffffffff8121404b>] kernel_read+0x3b/0x50 kernel: [<ffffffff81215c80>] do_execveat_common.isra.29+0x490/0x6f0 kernel: [<ffffffff81215f08>] do_execve+0x28/0x30 kernel: [<ffffffff81095ddb>] call_usermodehelper_exec_async+0xfb/0x130 kernel: [<ffffffff8161c045>] ret_from_fork+0x55/0x80 And that latter confuses the hotremove path because an LRU page is attempted to be migrated and that fails due to an elevated reference count. It is quite possible that the reuse of the HWPoisoned page is some kind of fixed race condition but I am not really sure about that. With the upstream kernel the failure is slightly different. The page doesn't seem to have LRU bit set but isolate_movable_page simply fails and do_migrate_range simply puts all the isolated pages back to LRU and therefore no progress is made and scan_movable_pages finds same set of pages over and over again. Fix both cases by explicitly checking HWPoisoned pages before we even try to get reference on the page, try to unmap it if it is still mapped.

Also put WARN_ON(PageLRU) in case there is a race and we can hit LRU HWPoison pages which shouldn't happen but I couldn't convince myself about that. Naoya has noted the following: : Theoretically no such gurantee, because try_to_unmap() doesn't have a : guarantee of success and then memory_failure() returns immediately : when hwpoison_user_mappings fails. : Or the following code (comes after hwpoison_user_mappings block) also impli= : es : that the target page can still have PageLRU flag. : : /* : * Torn down by someone else? : */ : if (PageLRU(p) && !PageSwapCache(p) && p->mapping =3D=3D NULL) { : action_result(pfn, MF_MSG_TRUNCATED_LRU, MF_IGNORED); : res =3D -EBUSY; : goto out; : } : : So I think it's OK to keep "if (WARN_ON(PageLRU(page)))" block in : current version of your patch.

kmemleak_scan() goes through all online nodes and tries to scan all used pages. We can do better and use pfn_to_online_page(), so in case we have CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG, offlined pages will be skiped automatically. For boxes where CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG is not present, pfn_to_online_page() will fallback to pfn_valid(). Another little optimization is to check if the page belongs to the node we are currently checking, so in case we have nodes interleaved we will not check the same pfn multiple times. I ran some tests: Add some memory to node1 and node2 making it interleaved: (qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=ram0,size=1G (qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm0,memdev=ram0,node=1 (qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=ram1,size=1G (qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=ram1,node=2 (qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=ram2,size=1G (qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm2,memdev=ram2,node=1 Then, we offline that memory: # for i in {32..39} ; do echo "offline" > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory$i/state;done # for i in {48..55} ; do echo "offline" > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory$i/state;don # for i in {40..47} ; do echo "offline" > /sys/devices/system/node/node2/memory$i/state;done And we run kmemleak_scan: # echo "scan" > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak before the patch: kmemleak: time spend: 41596 us after the patch: kmemleak: time spend: 34899 us [akpm@linux-foundation.org: remove stray newline, per Oscar] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181206131918.25099-1-osalvador@suse.deSigned-off-by: -

The current ioremap() code uses a phys_addr variable at each level of page table, which is confusingly offset by subtracting the base virtual address being mapped so that adding the current virtual address back on when iterating through the page table entries gives back the corresponding physical address. This is fairly confusing and results in all users of phys_addr having to add the current virtual address back on. Instead, this patch just updates phys_addr when iterating over the page table entries, ensuring that it's always up-to-date and doesn't require explicit offsetting.

The recently merged API for ensuring break-before-make on page-table entries when installing huge mappings in the vmalloc/ioremap region is fairly counter-intuitive, resulting in the arch freeing functions (e.g. pmd_free_pte_page()) being called even on entries that aren't present. This resulted in a minor bug in the arm64 implementation, giving rise to spurious VM_WARN messages. This patch moves the pXd_present() checks out into the core code, refactoring the callsites at the same time so that we avoid the complex conjunctions when determining whether or not we can put down a huge mapping.

write_cache_pages() is used in both background and integrity writeback scenarios by various filesystems. Background writeback is mostly concerned with cleaning a certain number of dirty pages based on various mm heuristics. It may not write the full set of dirty pages or wait for I/O to complete. Integrity writeback is responsible for persisting a set of dirty pages before the writeback job completes. For example, an fsync() call must perform integrity writeback to ensure data is on disk before the call returns. write_cache_pages() unconditionally breaks out of its processing loop in the event of a ->writepage() error. This is fine for background writeback, which had no strict requirements and will eventually come around again. This can cause problems for integrity writeback on filesystems that might need to clean up state associated with failed page writeouts. For example, XFS performs internal delayed allocation accounting before returning a ->writepage() error, where applicable. If the current writeback happens to be associated with an unmount and write_cache_pages() completes the writeback prematurely due to error, the filesystem is unmounted in an inconsistent state if dirty+delalloc pages still exist. To handle this problem, update write_cache_pages() to always process the full set of pages for integrity writeback regardless of ->writepage() errors. Save the first encountered error and return it to the caller once complete. This facilitates XFS (or any other fs that expects integrity writeback to process the entire set of dirty pages) to clean up its internal state completely in the event of persistent mapping errors. Background writeback continues to exit on the first error encountered.

Function show_mem() is used to print system memory status when user requires or fail to allocate memory. Generally, this is a best effort information so any races with memory hotplug (or very theoretically an early initialization) should be tolerable and the worst that could happen is to print an imprecise node state. Drop the resize lock because this is the only place which might hold the lock from the interrupt context and so all other callers might use a simple spinlock. Even though this doesn't solve any real issue it makes the code easier to follow and tiny more effective. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181129235532.9328-1-richard.weiyang@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

During online_pages phase, pgdat->nr_zones will be updated in case this zone is empty. Currently the online_pages phase is protected by the global locks (device_device_hotplug_lock and mem_hotplug_lock), which ensures there is no contention during the update of nr_zones. These global locks introduces scalability issues (especially the second one), which slow down code relying on get_online_mems(). This is also a preparation for not having to rely on get_online_mems() but instead some more fine grained locks. The patch moves init_currently_empty_zone under both zone_span_writelock and pgdat_resize_lock because both the pgdat state is changed (nr_zones) and the zone's start_pfn. Also this patch changes the documentation of node_size_lock to include the protection of nr_zones. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181203205016.14123-1-richard.weiyang@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

pgdat_resize_lock is used to protect pgdat's memory region information like: node_start_pfn, node_present_pages, etc. While in function sparse_add/remove_one_section(), pgdat_resize_lock is used to protect initialization/release of one mem_section. This looks not proper. These code paths are currently protected by mem_hotplug_lock currently but should there ever be any reason for locking at the sparse layer a dedicated lock should be introduced. Following is the current call trace of sparse_add/remove_one_section() mem_hotplug_begin() arch_add_memory() add_pages() __add_pages() __add_section() sparse_add_one_section() mem_hotplug_done() mem_hotplug_begin() arch_remove_memory() __remove_pages() __remove_section() sparse_remove_one_section() mem_hotplug_done() The comment above the pgdat_resize_lock also mentions "Holding this will also guarantee that any pfn_valid() stays that way.", which is true with the current implementation and false after this patch. But current implementation doesn't meet this comment. There isn't any pfn walkers to take the lock so this looks like a relict from the past. This patch also removes this comment.

If there are lots of write IO with flash device, it could have a wearout problem of storage. To overcome the problem, admin needs to design write limitation to guarantee flash health for entire product life. This patch creates a new knob "writeback_limit" for zram. writeback_limit's default value is 0 so that it doesn't limit any writeback. If admin want to measure writeback count in a certain period, he could know it via /sys/block/zram0/bd_stat's 3rd column. If admin want to limit writeback as per-day 400M, he could do it like below. MB_SHIFT=20 4K_SHIFT=12 echo $((400<<MB_SHIFT>>4K_SHIFT)) > \ /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit. If admin want to allow further write again, he could do it like below echo 0 > /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit If admin want to see remaining writeback budget, cat /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit The writeback_limit count will reset whenever you reset zram (e.g., system reboot, echo 1 > /sys/block/zramX/reset) so keeping how many of writeback happened until you reset the zram to allocate extra writeback budget in next setting is user's job.

Add a new feature "zram idle/huge page writeback". In the zram-swap use case, zram usually has many idle/huge swap pages. It's pointless to keep them in memory (ie, zram). To solve this problem, this feature introduces idle/huge page writeback to the backing device so the goal is to save more memory space on embedded systems. Normal sequence to use idle/huge page writeback feature is as follows, while (1) { # mark allocated zram slot to idle echo all > /sys/block/zram0/idle # leave system working for several hours # Unless there is no access for some blocks on zram, # they are still IDLE marked pages. echo "idle" > /sys/block/zram0/writeback or/and echo "huge" > /sys/block/zram0/writeback # write the IDLE or/and huge marked slot into backing device # and free the memory. } Per the discussion at https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181122065926.GG3441@jagdpanzerIV/T/#u, This patch removes direct incommpressibe page writeback feature (d2afd25114f4 ("zram: write incompressible pages to backing device")). Below concerns from Sergey: == &< == "IDLE writeback" is superior to "incompressible writeback". "incompressible writeback" is completely unpredictable and uncontrollable; it depens on data patterns and compression algorithms. While "IDLE writeback" is predictable. I even suspect, that, *ideally*, we can remove "incompressible writeback". "IDLE pages" is a super set which also includes "incompressible" pages. So, technically, we still can do "incompressible writeback" from "IDLE writeback" path; but a much more reasonable one, based on a page idling period. I understand that you want to keep "direct incompressible writeback" around. ZRAM is especially popular on devices which do suffer from flash wearout, so I can see "incompressible writeback" path becoming a dead code, long term. == &< == Below concerns from Minchan: == &< == My concern is if we enable CONFIG_ZRAM_WRITEBACK in this implementation, both hugepage/idlepage writeck will turn on. However someuser want to enable only idlepage writeback so we need to introduce turn on/off knob for hugepage or new CONFIG_ZRAM_IDLEPAGE_WRITEBACK for those usecase. I don't want to make it complicated *if possible*. Long term, I imagine we need to make VM aware of new swap hierarchy a little bit different with as-is. For example, first high priority swap can return -EIO or -ENOCOMP, swap try to fallback to next lower priority swap device. With that, hugepage writeback will work tranparently. So we could regard it as regression because incompressible pages doesn't go to backing storage automatically. Instead, user should do it via "echo huge" > /sys/block/zram/writeback" manually. == &< == Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181127055429.251614-6-minchan@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:Joey Pabalinas <joeypabalinas@gmail.com> Reviewed-by:
