The atomisp_mrfld_power() function isn't actually ever called, because the two call-sites have commented out the use because it breaks on some platforms. That results in: drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/atomisp_v4l2.c:764:12: warning: ‘atomisp_mrfld_power’ defined but not used [-Wunused-function] 764 | static int atomisp_mrfld_power(struct atomisp_device *isp, bool enable) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ during the build. Rather than commenting out the use entirely, just disable it semantically instead (using a "0 &&" construct), leaving the call in place from a syntax standpoint, and avoiding the warning. I really don't want my builds to have any warnings that can then hide real issues. Signed-off-by:Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab: - Media documentation is now split into admin-guide, driver-api and userspace-api books (a longstanding request from Jon); - The media Kconfig was reorganized, in order to make easier to select drivers and their dependencies; - The testing drivers now has a separate directory; - added a new driver for Rockchip Video Decoder IP; - The atomisp staging driver was resurrected. It is meant to work with 4 generations of cameras on Atom-based laptops, tablets and cell phones. So, it seems worth investing time to cleanup this driver and making it in good shape. - Added some V4L2 core ancillary routines to help with h264 codecs; - Added an ov2740 image sensor driver; - The si2157 gained support for Analog TV, which, in turn, added support for some cx231xx and cx23885 boards to also support analog standards; - Added some V4L2 controls (V4L2_CID_CAMERA_ORIENTATION and V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ROTATION) to help identifying where the camera is located at the device; - VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT was extended to support MC-centric devices; - Lots of drivers improvements and cleanups. * tag 'media/v5.8-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media: (503 commits) media: Documentation: media: Refer to mbus format documentation from CSI-2 docs media: s5k5baf: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array media: i2c: imx219: Drop <linux/clk-provider.h> and <linux/clkdev.h> media: i2c: Add ov2740 image sensor driver media: ov8856: Implement sensor module revision identification media: ov8856: Add devicetree support media: dt-bindings: ov8856: Document YAML bindings media: dvb-usb: Add Cinergy S2 PCIe Dual Port support media: dvbdev: Fix tuner->demod media controller link media: dt-bindings: phy: phy-rockchip-dphy-rx0: move rockchip dphy rx0 bindings out of staging media: staging: dt-bindings: phy-rockchip-dphy-rx0: remove non-used reg property media: atomisp: unify the version for isp2401 a0 and b0 versions media: atomisp: update TODO with the current data media: atomisp: adjust some code at sh_css that could be broken media: atomisp: don't produce errs for ignored IRQs media: atomisp: print IRQ when debugging media: atomisp: isp_mmu: don't use kmem_cache media: atomisp: add a notice about possible leak resources media: atomisp: disable the dynamic and reserved pools media: atomisp: turn on camera before setting it ...

Patch series "Extract DEBUG_WX to shared use". Some architectures support DEBUG_WX function, it's verbatim from each others, so extract to mm/Kconfig.debug for shared use. PPC and ARM ports don't support generic page dumper yet, so we only refine x86 and arm64 port in this patch series. For RISC-V port, the DEBUG_WX support depends on other patches which be merged already: - RISC-V page table dumper - Support strict kernel memory permissions for security This patch (of 4): Some architectures support DEBUG_WX function, it's verbatim from each others.

Searching for a particular memory block by id is an O(n) operation because each memory block's underlying device is kept in an unsorted linked list on the subsystem bus. We can cut the lookup cost to O(log n) if we cache each memory block in an xarray. This time complexity improvement is significant on systems with many memory blocks. For example: 1. A 128GB POWER9 VM with 256MB memblocks has 512 blocks. With this change memory_dev_init() completes ~12ms faster and walk_memory_blocks() completes ~12ms faster. Before: [ 0.005042] memory_dev_init: adding memory blocks [ 0.021591] memory_dev_init: added memory blocks [ 0.022699] walk_memory_blocks: walking memory blocks [ 0.038730] walk_memory_blocks: walked memory blocks 0-511 After: [ 0.005057] memory_dev_init: adding memory blocks [ 0.009415] memory_dev_init: added memory blocks [ 0.010519] walk_memory_blocks: walking memory blocks [ 0.014135] walk_memory_blocks: walked memory blocks 0-511 2. A 256GB POWER9 LPAR with 256MB memblocks has 1024 blocks. With this change memory_dev_init() completes ~88ms faster and walk_memory_blocks() completes ~87ms faster.

A 32TB POWER9 LPAR with 256MB memblocks has 131072 blocks. With this change we complete memory_dev_init() ~37 minutes faster and walk_memory_blocks() at least ~30 minutes faster. The exact timing for walk_memory_blocks() is missing, though I observed that the soft lockups in walk_memory_blocks() disappeared with the change, suggesting that lower bound.

A sparse xarray has a small footprint and an O(log n) lookup is negligibly slower than an O(n) lookup for only the smallest number of memory blocks. 1. A 16GB x86 machine with 128MB memblocks has 132 blocks. With this change memory_dev_init() completes ~300us faster and walk_memory_blocks() completes no faster or slower.

pmd_present() is expected to test positive after pmdp_mknotpresent() as the PMD entry still points to a valid huge page in memory. pmdp_mknotpresent() implies that given PMD entry is just invalidated from MMU perspective while still holding on to pmd_page() referred valid huge page thus also clearing pmd_present() test. This creates the following situation which is counter intuitive. [pmd_present(pmd_mknotpresent(pmd)) = true] This renames pmd_mknotpresent() as pmd_mkinvalid() reflecting the helper's functionality more accurately while changing the above mentioned situation as follows. This does not create any functional change. [pmd_present(pmd_mkinvalid(pmd)) = true] This is not applicable for platforms that define own pmdp_invalidate() via __HAVE_ARCH_PMDP_INVALIDATE. Suggestion for renaming came during a previous discussion here. https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11019637/ [anshuman.khandual@arm.com: change pmd_mknotvalid() to pmd_mkinvalid() per Will] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1587520326-10099-3-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@arm.comSuggested-by:

Patch series "mm/thp: Rename pmd_mknotpresent() as pmd_mknotvalid()", v2. This series renames pmd_mknotpresent() as pmd_mknotvalid(). Before that it drops an existing pmd_mknotpresent() definition from powerpc platform which was never required as it defines it's pmdp_invalidate() through subscribing __HAVE_ARCH_PMDP_INVALIDATE. This does not create any functional change. This rename was suggested by Catalin during a previous discussion while we were trying to change the THP helpers on arm64 platform for migration. https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11019637/ This patch (of 2): Platform needs to define pmd_mknotpresent() for generic pmdp_invalidate() only when __HAVE_ARCH_PMDP_INVALIDATE is not subscribed. Otherwise platform specific pmd_mknotpresent() is not required. Hence just drop it. Signed-off-by:

Since commit 8f182270 ("mm/swap.c: flush lru pvecs on compound page arrival") THP would not stay in pagevec anymore. So the optimization made by commit d9654322 ("thp: increase split_huge_page() success rate") doesn't make sense anymore, which tries to unpin munlocked THPs from pagevec by draining pagevec. Draining lru cache before isolating THP in mlock path is also unnecessary. b676b293 ("mm, thp: fix mapped pages avoiding unevictable list on mlock") added it and 9a73f61b ("thp, mlock: do not mlock PTE-mapped file huge pages") accidentally carried it over after the above optimization went in.

In a 32-bit program, running on arm64 architecture. When the address space below mmap base is completely exhausted, shmat() for huge pages will return ENOMEM, but shmat() for normal pages can still success on no-legacy mode. This seems not fair. For normal pages, the calling trace of get_unmapped_area() is: => mm->get_unmapped_area() if on legacy mode, => arch_get_unmapped_area() => vm_unmapped_area() if on no-legacy mode, => arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() => vm_unmapped_area() For huge pages, the calling trace of get_unmapped_area() is: => file->f_op->get_unmapped_area() => hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() => vm_unmapped_area() To solve this issue, we only need to make hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() take the same way as mm->get_unmapped_area(). Add *bottomup() and *topdown() for hugetlbfs, and check current mm->get_unmapped_area() to decide which one to use. If mm->get_unmapped_area is equal to arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown(), hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() calls topdown routine, otherwise calls bottomup routine. Reported-by:

sparc32 never registered the memory occupied by the kernel image with memblock_add() and it only reserved this memory with meblock_reserve(). With openbios as system firmware, the memory occupied by the kernel is reserved in openbios and removed from mem.available. The prom setup code in the kernel uses mem.available to set up the memory banks and essentially there is a hole for the memory occupied by the kernel image. Later in bootmem_init() this memory is memblock_reserve()d. Up until recently, memmap initialization would call __init_single_page() for the pages in that hole, the free_low_memory_core_early() would mark them as reserved and everything would be Ok. After the change in memmap initialization introduced by the commit "mm: memmap_init: iterate over memblock regions rather that check each PFN", the hole is skipped and the page structs for it are not initialized. And when they are passed from memblock to page allocator as reserved, the latter gets confused. Simply registering the memory occupied by the kernel with memblock_add() resolves this issue.

This has been fixed by ae46d2aa ("mm/gup: Let __get_user_pages_locked() return -EINTR for fatal signal") in the mean time so ba841078 can be reverted. This patch however doesn't go all the way to revert it because the check for 0 is wrong and confusing here. Firstly it is inherently unsafe to access the page when get_user_pages_locked returns 0 (aka no page returned). Fortunatelly this will not happen because get_user_pages_locked will not return 0 when nr_pages > 0 unless FOLL_NOWAIT is specified which is not the case here.

When LRU cost only shows up on one list, we abruptly stop scanning that list altogether. That's an extreme reaction: by the time the other list starts thrashing and the pendulum swings back, we may have no recent age information on the first list anymore, and we could have significant latencies until the scanner has caught up. Soften this change in the feedback system by ensuring that no list receives less than a third of overall pressure, and only distribute the other 66% according to LRU cost. This ensures that we maintain a minimum rate of aging on the entire workingset while it's being pressured, while still allowing a generous rate of convergence when the relative sizes of the lists need to adjust.

The VM tries to balance reclaim pressure between anon and file so as to reduce the amount of IO incurred due to the memory shortage. It already counts refaults and swapins, but in addition it should also count writepage calls during reclaim. For swap, this is obvious: it's IO that wouldn't have occurred if the anonymous memory hadn't been under memory pressure. From a relative balancing point of view this makes sense as well: even if anon is cold and reclaimable, a cache that isn't thrashing may have equally cold pages that don't require IO to reclaim. For file writeback, it's trickier: some of the reclaim writepage IO would have likely occurred anyway due to dirty expiration. But not all of it - premature writeback reduces batching and generates additional writes. Since the flushers are already woken up by the time the VM starts writing cache pages one by one, let's assume that we'e likely causing writes that wouldn't have happened without memory pressure. In addition, the per-page cost of IO would have probably been much cheaper if written in larger batches from the flusher thread rather than the single-page-writes from kswapd. For our purposes - getting the trend right to accelerate convergence on a stable state that doesn't require paging at all - this is sufficiently accurate. If we later wanted to optimize for sustained thrashing, we can still refine the measurements. Count all writepage calls from kswapd as IO cost toward the LRU that the page belongs to. Why do this dynamically? Don't we know in advance that anon pages require IO to reclaim, and so could build in a static bias? First, scanning is not the same as reclaiming. If all the anon pages are referenced, we may not swap for a while just because we're scanning the anon list. During this time, however, it's important that we age anonymous memory and the page cache at the same rate so that their hot-cold gradients are comparable. Everything else being equal, we still want to reclaim the coldest memory overall. Second, we keep copies in swap unless the page changes. If there is swap-backed data that's mostly read (tmpfs file) and has been swapped out before, we can reclaim it without incurring additional IO. Signed-off-by:

We split the LRU lists into anon and file, and we rebalance the scan pressure between them when one of them begins thrashing: if the file cache experiences workingset refaults, we increase the pressure on anonymous pages; if the workload is stalled on swapins, we increase the pressure on the file cache instead. With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU order among the pages of all involved cgroups, LRU pressure balancing is done on an individual cgroup LRU level. As a result, when one cgroup is thrashing on the filesystem cache while a sibling may have cold anonymous pages, pressure doesn't get equalized between them. This patch moves LRU balancing decision to the root of reclaim - the same level where the LRU order is established. It does this by tracking LRU cost recursively, so that every level of the cgroup tree knows the aggregate LRU cost of all memory within its domain. When the page scanner calculates the scan balance for any given individual cgroup's LRU list, it uses the values from the ancestor cgroup that initiated the reclaim cycle. If one sibling is then thrashing on the cache, it will tip the pressure balance inside its ancestors, and the next hierarchical reclaim iteration will go more after the anon pages in the tree.

Since the LRUs were split into anon and file lists, the VM has been balancing between page cache and anonymous pages based on per-list ratios of scanned vs. rotated pages. In most cases that tips page reclaim towards the list that is easier to reclaim and has the fewest actively used pages, but there are a few problems with it: 1. Refaults and LRU rotations are weighted the same way, even though one costs IO and the other costs a bit of CPU. 2. The less we scan an LRU list based on already observed rotations, the more we increase the sampling interval for new references, and rotations become even more likely on that list. This can enter a death spiral in which we stop looking at one list completely until the other one is all but annihilated by page reclaim. Since commit a528910e ("mm: thrash detection-based file cache sizing") we have refault detection for the page cache. Along with swapin events, they are good indicators of when the file or anon list, respectively, is too small for its workingset and needs to grow. For example, if the page cache is thrashing, the cache pages need more time in memory, while there may be colder pages on the anonymous list. Likewise, if swapped pages are faulting back in, it indicates that we reclaim anonymous pages too aggressively and should back off. Replace LRU rotations with refaults and swapins as the basis for relative reclaim cost of the two LRUs. This will have the VM target list balances that incur the least amount of IO on aggregate.

When shrinking the active file list we rotate referenced pages only when they're in an executable mapping. The others get deactivated. When it comes to balancing scan pressure, though, we count all referenced pages as rotated, even the deactivated ones. Yet they do not carry the same cost to the system: the deactivated page *might* refault later on, but the deactivation is tangible progress toward freeing pages; rotations on the other hand cost time and effort without getting any closer to freeing memory. Don't treat both events as equal. The following patch will hook up LRU balancing to cache and anon refaults, which are a much more concrete cost signal for reclaiming one list over the other. Thus, remove the maybe-IO cost bias from page references, and only note the CPU cost for actual rotations that prevent the pages from getting reclaimed. Signed-off-by:

Operations like MADV_FREE, FADV_DONTNEED etc. currently move any affected active pages to the inactive list to accelerate their reclaim (good) but also steer page reclaim toward that LRU type, or away from the other (bad). The reason why this is undesirable is that such operations are not part of the regular page aging cycle, and rather a fluke that doesn't say much about the remaining pages on that list; they might all be in heavy use, and once the chunk of easy victims has been purged, the VM continues to apply elevated pressure on those remaining hot pages. The other LRU, meanwhile, might have easily reclaimable pages, and there was never a need to steer away from it in the first place. As the previous patch outlined, we should focus on recording actually observed cost to steer the balance rather than speculating about the potential value of one LRU list over the other. In that spirit, leave explicitely deactivated pages to the LRU algorithm to pick up, and let rotations decide which list is the easiest to reclaim.

Currently, scan pressure between the anon and file LRU lists is balanced based on a mixture of reclaim efficiency and a somewhat vague notion of "value" of having certain pages in memory over others. That concept of value is problematic, because it has caused us to count any event that remotely makes one LRU list more or less preferrable for reclaim, even when these events are not directly comparable and impose very different costs on the system. One example is referenced file pages that we still deactivate and referenced anonymous pages that we actually rotate back to the head of the list. There is also conceptual overlap with the LRU algorithm itself. By rotating recently used pages instead of reclaiming them, the algorithm already biases the applied scan pressure based on page value. Thus, when rebalancing scan pressure due to rotations, we should think of reclaim cost, and leave assessing the page value to the LRU algorithm. Lastly, considering both value-increasing as well as value-decreasing events can sometimes cause the same type of event to be counted twice, i.e. how rotating a page increases the LRU value, while reclaiming it succesfully decreases the value. In itself this will balance out fine, but it quietly skews the impact of events that are only recorded once. The abstract metric of "value", the murky relationship with the LRU algorithm, and accounting both negative and positive events make the current pressure balancing model hard to reason about and modify. This patch switches to a balancing model of accounting the concrete, actually observed cost of reclaiming one LRU over another. For now, that cost includes pages that are scanned but rotated back to the list head. Subsequent patches will add consideration for IO caused by refaulting of recently evicted pages. Replace struct zone_reclaim_stat with two cost counters in the lruvec, and make everything that affects cost go through a new lru_note_cost() function. Signed-off-by:

When we calculate the relative scan pressure between the anon and file LRU lists, we have to assume that reclaim_stat can contain zeroes. To avoid div0 crashes, we add 1 to all denominators like so: anon_prio = swappiness; file_prio = 200 - anon_prio; [...] /* * The amount of pressure on anon vs file pages is inversely * proportional to the fraction of recently scanned pages on * each list that were recently referenced and in active use. */ ap = anon_prio * (reclaim_stat->recent_scanned[0] + 1); ap /= reclaim_stat->recent_rotated[0] + 1; fp = file_prio * (reclaim_stat->recent_scanned[1] + 1); fp /= reclaim_stat->recent_rotated[1] + 1; spin_unlock_irq(&pgdat->lru_lock); fraction[0] = ap; fraction[1] = fp; denominator = ap + fp + 1; While reclaim_stat can contain 0, it's not actually possible for ap + fp to be 0. One of anon_prio or file_prio could be zero, but they must still add up to 200. And the reclaim_stat fraction, due to the +1 in there, is always at least 1. So if one of the two numerators is 0, the other one can't be. ap + fp is always at least 1. Drop the + 1. Signed-off-by: -

When the splitlru patches divided page cache and swap-backed pages into separate LRU lists, the pressure balance between the lists was biased to account for the fact that streaming IO can cause memory pressure with a flood of pages that are used only once. New page cache additions would tip the balance toward the file LRU, and repeat access would neutralize that bias again. This ensured that page reclaim would always go for used-once cache first. Since e9868505 ("mm,vmscan: only evict file pages when we have plenty"), page reclaim generally skips over swap-backed memory entirely as long as there is used-once cache present, and will apply the LRU balancing when only repeatedly accessed cache pages are left - at which point the previous use-once bias will have been neutralized. This makes the use-once cache balancing bias unnecessary. Signed-off-by:

We activate cache refaults with reuse distances in pages smaller than the size of the total cache. This allows new pages with competitive access frequencies to establish themselves, as well as challenge and potentially displace pages on the active list that have gone cold. However, that assumes that active cache can only replace other active cache in a competition for the hottest memory. This is not a great default assumption. The page cache might be thrashing while there are enough completely cold and unused anonymous pages sitting around that we'd only have to write to swap once to stop all IO from the cache. Activate cache refaults when their reuse distance in pages is smaller than the total userspace workingset, including anonymous pages. Reclaim can still decide how to balance pressure among the two LRUs depending on the IO situation. Rotational drives will prefer avoiding random IO from swap and go harder after cache. But fundamentally, hot cache should be able to compete with anon pages for a place in RAM. Signed-off-by:

The reclaim code that balances between swapping and cache reclaim tries to predict likely reuse based on in-memory reference patterns alone. This works in many cases, but when it fails it cannot detect when the cache is thrashing pathologically, or when we're in the middle of a swap storm. The high seek cost of rotational drives under which the algorithm evolved also meant that mistakes could quickly result in lockups from too aggressive swapping (which is predominantly random IO). As a result, the balancing code has been tuned over time to a point where it mostly goes for page cache and defers swapping until the VM is under significant memory pressure. The resulting strategy doesn't make optimal caching decisions - where optimal is the least amount of IO required to execute the workload. The proliferation of fast random IO devices such as SSDs, in-memory compression such as zswap, and persistent memory technologies on the horizon, has made this undesirable behavior very noticable: Even in the presence of large amounts of cold anonymous memory and a capable swap device, the VM refuses to even seriously scan these pages, and can leave the page cache thrashing needlessly. This series sets out to address this. Since commit ("a528910e mm: thrash detection-based file cache sizing") we have exact tracking of refault IO - the ultimate cost of reclaiming the wrong pages. This allows us to use an IO cost based balancing model that is more aggressive about scanning anonymous memory when the cache is thrashing, while being able to avoid unnecessary swap storms. These patches base the LRU balance on the rate of refaults on each list, times the relative IO cost between swap device and filesystem (swappiness), in order to optimize reclaim for least IO cost incurred. History I floated these changes in 2016. At the time they were incomplete and full of workarounds due to a lack of infrastructure in the reclaim code: We didn't have PageWorkingset, we didn't have hierarchical cgroup statistics, and problems with the cgroup swap controller. As swapping wasn't too high a priority then, the patches stalled out. With all dependencies in place now, here we are again with much cleaner, feature-complete patches. I kept the acks for patches that stayed materially the same :-) Below is a series of test results that demonstrate certain problematic behavior of the current code, as well as showcase the new code's more predictable and appropriate balancing decisions. Test #1: No convergence This test shows an edge case where the VM currently doesn't converge at all on a new file workingset with a stale anon/tmpfs set. The test sets up a cold anon set the size of 3/4 RAM, then tries to establish a new file set half the size of RAM (flat access pattern). The vanilla kernel refuses to even scan anon pages and never converges. The file set is perpetually served from the filesystem. The first test kernel is with the series up to the workingset patch applied. This allows thrashing page cache to challenge the anonymous workingset. The VM then scans the lists based on the current scanned/rotated balancing algorithm. It converges on a stable state where all cold anon pages are pushed out and the fileset is served entirely from cache: noconverge/5.7-rc5-mm noconverge/5.7-rc5-mm-workingset Scanned 417719308.00 ( +0.00%) 64091155.00 ( -84.66%) Reclaimed 417711094.00 ( +0.00%) 61640308.00 ( -85.24%) Reclaim efficiency % 100.00 ( +0.00%) 96.18 ( -3.78%) Scanned file 417719308.00 ( +0.00%) 59211118.00 ( -85.83%) Scanned anon 0.00 ( +0.00%) 4880037.00 ( ) Swapouts 0.00 ( +0.00%) 2439957.00 ( ) Swapins 0.00 ( +0.00%) 257.00 ( ) Refaults 415246605.00 ( +0.00%) 59183722.00 ( -85.75%) Restore refaults 0.00 ( +0.00%) 54988252.00 ( ) The second test kernel is with the full patch series applied, which replaces the scanned/rotated ratios with refault/swapin rate-based balancing. It evicts the cold anon pages more aggressively in the presence of a thrashing cache and the absence of swapins, and so converges with about 60% of the IO and reclaim activity: noconverge/5.7-rc5-mm-workingset noconverge/5.7-rc5-mm-lrubalance Scanned 64091155.00 ( +0.00%) 37579741.00 ( -41.37%) Reclaimed 61640308.00 ( +0.00%) 35129293.00 ( -43.01%) Reclaim efficiency % 96.18 ( +0.00%) 93.48 ( -2.78%) Scanned file 59211118.00 ( +0.00%) 32708385.00 ( -44.76%) Scanned anon 4880037.00 ( +0.00%) 4871356.00 ( -0.18%) Swapouts 2439957.00 ( +0.00%) 2435565.00 ( -0.18%) Swapins 257.00 ( +0.00%) 262.00 ( +1.94%) Refaults 59183722.00 ( +0.00%) 32675667.00 ( -44.79%) Restore refaults 54988252.00 ( +0.00%) 28480430.00 ( -48.21%) We're triggering this case in host sideloading scenarios: When a host's primary workload is not saturating the machine (primary load is usually driven by user activity), we can optimistically sideload a batch job; if user activity picks up and the primary workload needs the whole host during this time, we freeze the sideload and rely on it getting pushed to swap. Frequently that swapping doesn't happen and the completely inactive sideload simply stays resident while the expanding primary worklad is struggling to gain ground. Test #2: Kernel build This test is a a kernel build that is slightly memory-restricted (make -j4 inside a 400M cgroup). Despite the very aggressive swapping of cold anon pages in test #1, this test shows that the new kernel carefully balances swap against cache refaults when both the file and the cache set are pressured. It shows the patched kernel to be slightly better at finding the coldest memory from the combined anon and file set to evict under pressure. The result is lower aggregate reclaim and paging activity: z 5.7-rc5-mm 5.7-rc5-mm-lrubalance Real time 210.60 ( +0.00%) 210.97 ( +0.18%) User time 745.42 ( +0.00%) 746.48 ( +0.14%) System time 69.78 ( +0.00%) 69.79 ( +0.02%) Scanned file 354682.00 ( +0.00%) 293661.00 ( -17.20%) Scanned anon 465381.00 ( +0.00%) 378144.00 ( -18.75%) Swapouts 185920.00 ( +0.00%) 147801.00 ( -20.50%) Swapins 34583.00 ( +0.00%) 32491.00 ( -6.05%) Refaults 212664.00 ( +0.00%) 172409.00 ( -18.93%) Restore refaults 48861.00 ( +0.00%) 80091.00 ( +63.91%) Total paging IO 433167.00 ( +0.00%) 352701.00 ( -18.58%) Test #3: Overload This next test is not about performance, but rather about the predictability of the algorithm. The current balancing behavior doesn't always lead to comprehensible results, which makes performance analysis and parameter tuning (swappiness e.g.) very difficult. The test shows the balancing behavior under equivalent anon and file input. Anon and file sets are created of equal size (3/4 RAM), have the same access patterns (a hot-cold gradient), and synchronized access rates. Swappiness is raised from the default of 60 to 100 to indicate equal IO cost between swap and cache. With the vanilla balancing code, anon scans make up around 9% of the total pages scanned, or a ~1:10 ratio. This is a surprisingly skewed ratio, and it's an outcome that is hard to explain given the input parameters to the VM. The new balancing model targets a 1:2 balance: All else being equal, reclaiming a file page costs one page IO - the refault; reclaiming an anon page costs two IOs - the swapout and the swapin. In the test we observe a ~1:3 balance. The scanned and paging IO numbers indicate that the anon LRU algorithm we have in place right now does a slightly worse job at picking the coldest pages compared to the file algorithm. There is ongoing work to improve this, like Joonsoo's anon workingset patches; however, it's difficult to compare the two aging strategies when the balancing between them is behaving unintuitively. The slightly less efficient anon reclaim results in a deviation from the optimal 1:2 scan ratio we would like to see here - however, 1:3 is much closer to what we'd want to see in this test than the vanilla kernel's aging of 10+ cache pages for every anonymous one: overload-100/5.7-rc5-mm-workingset overload-100/5.7-rc5-mm-lrubalance-realfile Scanned 533633725.00 ( +0.00%) 595687785.00 ( +11.63%) Reclaimed 494325440.00 ( +0.00%) 518154380.00 ( +4.82%) Reclaim efficiency % 92.63 ( +0.00%) 86.98 ( -6.03%) Scanned file 484532894.00 ( +0.00%) 456937722.00 ( -5.70%) Scanned anon 49100831.00 ( +0.00%) 138750063.00 ( +182.58%) Swapouts 8096423.00 ( +0.00%) 48982142.00 ( +504.98%) Swapins 10027384.00 ( +0.00%) 62325044.00 ( +521.55%) Refaults 479819973.00 ( +0.00%) 451309483.00 ( -5.94%) Restore refaults 426422087.00 ( +0.00%) 399914067.00 ( -6.22%) Total paging IO 497943780.00 ( +0.00%) 562616669.00 ( +12.99%) Test #4: Parallel IO It's important to note that these patches only affect the situation where the kernel has to reclaim workingset memory, which is usually a transitionary period. The vast majority of page reclaim occuring in a system is from trimming the ever-expanding page cache. These patches don't affect cache trimming behavior. We never swap as long as we only have use-once cache moving through the file LRU, we only consider swapping when the cache is actively thrashing. The following test demonstrates this. It has an anon workingset that takes up half of RAM and then writes a file that is twice the size of RAM out to disk. As the cache is funneled through the inactive file list, no anon pages are scanned (aside from apparently some background noise of 10 pages): 5.7-rc5-mm 5.7-rc5-mm-lrubalance Scanned 10714722.00 ( +0.00%) 10723445.00 ( +0.08%) Reclaimed 10703596.00 ( +0.00%) 10712166.00 ( +0.08%) Reclaim efficiency % 99.90 ( +0.00%) 99.89 ( -0.00%) Scanned file 10714722.00 ( +0.00%) 10723435.00 ( +0.08%) Scanned anon 0.00 ( +0.00%) 10.00 ( ) Swapouts 0.00 ( +0.00%) 7.00 ( ) Swapins 0.00 ( +0.00%) 0.00 ( +0.00%) Refaults 92.00 ( +0.00%) 41.00 ( -54.84%) Restore refaults 0.00 ( +0.00%) 0.00 ( +0.00%) Total paging IO 92.00 ( +0.00%) 48.00 ( -47.31%) This patch (of 14): Currently, THP are counted as single pages until they are split right before being swapped out. However, at that point the VM is already in the middle of reclaim, and adjusting the LRU balance then is useless. Always account THP by the number of basepages, and remove the fixup from the splitting path. Signed-off-by: -

The previous patches have simplified the access rules around page->mem_cgroup somewhat: 1. We never change page->mem_cgroup while the page is isolated by somebody else. This was by far the biggest exception to our rules and it didn't stop at lock_page() or lock_page_memcg(). 2. We charge pages before they get put into page tables now, so the somewhat fishy rule about "can be in page table as long as it's still locked" is now gone and boiled down to having an exclusive reference to the page. Document the new rules. Any of the following will stabilize the page->mem_cgroup association: - the page lock - LRU isolation - lock_page_memcg() - exclusive access to the page Signed-off-by:

Swapin faults were the last event to charge pages after they had already been put on the LRU list. Now that we charge directly on swapin, the lrucare portion of the charge code is unused. Signed-off-by:

Right now, users that are otherwise memory controlled can easily escape their containment and allocate significant amounts of memory that they're not being charged for. That's because swap readahead pages are not being charged until somebody actually faults them into their page table. This can be exploited with MADV_WILLNEED, which triggers arbitrary readahead allocations without charging the pages. There are additional problems with the delayed charging of swap pages: 1. To implement refault/workingset detection for anonymous pages, we need to have a target LRU available at swapin time, but the LRU is not determinable until the page has been charged. 2. To implement per-cgroup LRU locking, we need page->mem_cgroup to be stable when the page is isolated from the LRU; otherwise, the locks change under us. But swapcache gets charged after it's already on the LRU, and even if we cannot isolate it ourselves (since charging is not exactly optional). The previous patch ensured we always maintain cgroup ownership records for swap pages. This patch moves the swapcache charging point from the fault handler to swapin time to fix all of the above problems. v2: simplify swapin error checking (Joonsoo) [hughd@google.com: fix livelock in __read_swap_cache_async()] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LSU.2.11.2005212246080.8458@eggly.anvilsSigned-off-by:

Without swap page tracking, users that are otherwise memory controlled can easily escape their containment and allocate significant amounts of memory that they're not being charged for. That's because swap does readahead, but without the cgroup records of who owned the page at swapout, readahead pages don't get charged until somebody actually faults them into their page table and we can identify an owner task. This can be maliciously exploited with MADV_WILLNEED, which triggers arbitrary readahead allocations without charging the pages. Make swap swap page tracking an integral part of memcg and remove the Kconfig options. In the first place, it was only made configurable to allow users to save some memory. But the overhead of tracking cgroup ownership per swap page is minimal - 2 byte per page, or 512k per 1G of swap, or 0.04%. Saving that at the expense of broken containment semantics is not something we should present as a coequal option. The swapaccount=0 boot option will continue to exist, and it will eliminate the page_counter overhead and hide the swap control files, but it won't disable swap slot ownership tracking. This patch makes sure we always have the cgroup records at swapin time; the next patch will fix the actual bug by charging readahead swap pages at swapin time rather than at fault time. v2: fix double swap charge bug in cgroup1/cgroup2 code gating [hannes@cmpxchg.org: fix crash with cgroup_disable=memory] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200521215855.GB815153@cmpxchg.orgSigned-off-by:

A few cleanups to streamline the swap controller setup: - Replace the do_swap_account flag with cgroup_memory_noswap. This brings it in line with other functionality that is usually available unless explicitly opted out of - nosocket, nokmem. - Remove the really_do_swap_account flag that stores the boot option and is later used to switch the do_swap_account. It's not clear why this indirection is/was necessary. Use do_swap_account directly. - Minor coding style polishing Signed-off-by:
