This series is aimed at regressions noticed during reclaim activity. The first two patches are shrinker patches that were posted ages ago but never merged for reasons that are unclear to me. I'm posting them again to see if there was a reason they were dropped or if they just got lost. Dave? Time? The last patch adjusts proportional reclaim. Yuanhan Liu, can you retest the vm scalability test cases on a larger machine? Hugh, does this work for you on the memcg test cases?

This will allow cached objects to be counted without call to grab_super_passive() to update ref count on sb. We want to avoid locking during memory reclamation especially when we are skipping the memory reclaim when we are out of cached objects. This is safe because grab_super_passive does a try-lock on the sb->s_umount now, and so if we are in the unmount process, it won't ever block. That means what used to be a deadlock and races we were avoiding by using grab_super_passive() is now: shrinker umount down_read(shrinker_rwsem) down_write(sb->s_umount) shrinker_unregister down_write(shrinker_rwsem) <blocks> grab_super_passive(sb) down_read_trylock(sb->s_umount) <fails> <shrinker aborts> .... <shrinkers finish running> up_read(shrinker_rwsem) <unblocks> <removes shrinker> up_write(shrinker_rwsem) ->kill_sb() .... So it is safe to deregister the shrinker before ->kill_sb(). Signed-off-by:Tim Chen <tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by:

msync() currently syncs more than POSIX requires or BSD or Solaris implement. It is supposed to be equivalent to fdatasync(), not fsync(), and it is only supposed to sync the portion of the file that overlaps the range passed to msync. If the VMA is non-linear, fall back to syncing the entire file, but we still optimise to only fdatasync() the entire file, not the full fsync(). akpm: there are obvious concerns with bck-compatibility: is anyone relying on the undocumented side-effect for their data integrity? And how would they ever know if this change broke their data integrity? We think the risk is reasonably low, and this patch brings the kernel into line with other OS's and with what the manpage has always said... Signed-off-by:

Compaction uses compact_checklock_irqsave() function to periodically check for lock contention and need_resched() to either abort async compaction, or to free the lock, schedule and retake the lock. When aborting, cc->contended is set to signal the contended state to the caller. Two problems have been identified in this mechanism. First, compaction also calls directly cond_resched() in both scanners when no lock is yet taken. This call either does not abort async compaction, or set cc->contended appropriately. This patch introduces a new compact_should_abort() function to achieve both. In isolate_freepages(), the check frequency is reduced to once by SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pageblocks to match what the migration scanner does in the preliminary page checks. In case a pageblock is found suitable for calling isolate_freepages_block(), the checks within there are done on higher frequency. Second, isolate_freepages() does not check if isolate_freepages_block() aborted due to contention, and advances to the next pageblock. This violates the principle of aborting on contention, and might result in pageblocks not being scanned completely, since the scanning cursor is advanced. This problem has been noticed in the code by Joonsoo Kim when reviewing related patches. This patch makes isolate_freepages_block() check the cc->contended flag and abort. In case isolate_freepages() has already isolated some pages before aborting due to contention, page migration will proceed, which is OK since we do not want to waste the work that has been done, and page migration has own checks for contention. However, we do not want another isolation attempt by either of the scanners, so cc->contended flag check is added also to compaction_alloc() and compact_finished() to make sure compaction is aborted right after the migration. The outcome of the patch should be reduced lock contention by async compaction and lower latencies for higher-order allocations where direct compaction is involved.

Currently, we use (zone->managed_pages + KSWAPD_ZONE_BALANCE_GAP_RATIO-1) / KSWAPD_ZONE_BALANCE_GAP_RATIO to avoid a zero gap value. It's better to use DIV_ROUND_UP macro for neater code and clear meaning. Besides, the gap value is calculated against the per-zone "managed pages", not "present pages".

Mel Gorman authored
If a page is marked for immediate reclaim then it is moved to the tail of the LRU list. This occurs when the system is under enough memory pressure for pages under writeback to reach the end of the LRU but we test for this using atomic operations on every writeback. This patch uses an optimistic non-atomic test first. It'll miss some pages in rare cases but the consequences are not severe enough to warrant such a penalty. While the function does not dominate profiles during a simple dd test the cost of it is reduced. 73048 0.7428 vmlinux-3.15.0-rc5-mmotm-20140513 end_page_writeback 23740 0.2409 vmlinux-3.15.0-rc5-lessatomic end_page_writeback Signed-off-by:

aops->write_begin may allocate a new page and make it visible only to have mark_page_accessed called almost immediately after. Once the page is visible the atomic operations are necessary which is noticable overhead when writing to an in-memory filesystem like tmpfs but should also be noticable with fast storage. The objective of the patch is to initialse the accessed information with non-atomic operations before the page is visible. The bulk of filesystems directly or indirectly use grab_cache_page_write_begin or find_or_create_page for the initial allocation of a page cache page. This patch adds an init_page_accessed() helper which behaves like the first call to mark_page_accessed() but may called before the page is visible and can be done non-atomically. The primary APIs of concern in this care are the following and are used by most filesystems. find_get_page find_lock_page find_or_create_page grab_cache_page_nowait grab_cache_page_write_begin All of them are very similar in detail to the patch creates a core helper pagecache_get_page() which takes a flags parameter that affects its behavior such as whether the page should be marked accessed or not. Then old API is preserved but is basically a thin wrapper around this core function. Each of the filesystems are then updated to avoid calling mark_page_accessed when it is known that the VM interfaces have already done the job. There is a slight snag in that the timing of the mark_page_accessed() has now changed so in rare cases it's possible a page gets to the end of the LRU as PageReferenced where as previously it might have been repromoted. This is expected to be rare but it's worth the filesystem people thinking about it in case they see a problem with the timing change. It is also the case that some filesystems may be marking pages accessed that previously did not but it makes sense that filesystems have consistent behaviour in this regard. The test case used to evaulate this is a simple dd of a large file done multiple times with the file deleted on each iterations. The size of the file is 1/10th physical memory to avoid dirty page balancing. In the async case it will be possible that the workload completes without even hitting the disk and will have variable results but highlight the impact of mark_page_accessed for async IO. The sync results are expected to be more stable. The exception is tmpfs where the normal case is for the "IO" to not hit the disk. The test machine was single socket and UMA to avoid any scheduling or NUMA artifacts. Throughput and wall times are presented for sync IO, only wall times are shown for async as the granularity reported by dd and the variability is unsuitable for comparison. As async results were variable do to writback timings, I'm only reporting the maximum figures. The sync results were stable enough to make the mean and stddev uninteresting.

When adding pages to the LRU we clear the active bit unconditionally. As the page could be reachable from other paths we cannot use unlocked operations without risk of corruption such as a parallel mark_page_accessed. This patch tests if is necessary to clear the active flag before using an atomic operation. This potentially opens a tiny race when PageActive is checked as mark_page_accessed could be called after PageActive was checked. The race already exists but this patch changes it slightly. The consequence is that that the page may be promoted to the active list that might have been left on the inactive list before the patch. It's too tiny a race and too marginal a consequence to always use atomic operations for. Signed-off-by:

The test_bit operations in get/set pageblock flags are expensive. This patch reads the bitmap on a word basis and use shifts and masks to isolate the bits of interest. Similarly masks are used to set a local copy of the bitmap and then use cmpxchg to update the bitmap if there have been no other changes made in parallel. In a test running dd onto tmpfs the overhead of the pageblock-related functions went from 1.27% in profiles to 0.5%. In addition to the performance benefits, this patch closes races that are possible between: a) get_ and set_pageblock_migratetype(), where get_pageblock_migratetype() reads part of the bits before and other part of the bits after set_pageblock_migratetype() has updated them. b) set_pageblock_migratetype() and set_pageblock_skip(), where the non-atomic read-modify-update set bit operation in set_pageblock_skip() will cause lost updates to some bits changed in the set_pageblock_migratetype(). Joonsoo Kim first reported the case a) via code inspection. Vlastimil Babka's testing with a debug patch showed that either a) or b) occurs roughly once per mmtests' stress-highalloc benchmark (although not necessarily in the same pageblock). Furthermore during development of unrelated compaction patches, it was observed that frequent calls to {start,undo}_isolate_page_range() the race occurs several thousands of times and has resulted in NULL pointer dereferences in move_freepages() and free_one_page() in places where free_list[migratetype] is manipulated by e.g. list_move(). Further debugging confirmed that migratetype had invalid value of 6, causing out of bounds access to the free_list array. That confirmed that the race exist, although it may be extremely rare, and currently only fatal where page isolation is performed due to memory hot remove. Races on pageblocks being updated by set_pageblock_migratetype(), where both old and new migratetype are lower MIGRATE_RESERVE, currently cannot result in an invalid value being observed, although theoretically they may still lead to unexpected creation or destruction of MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks. Furthermore, things could get suddenly worse when memory isolation is used more, or when new migratetypes are added. After this patch, the race has no longer been observed in testing.

ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK is set in a few cases. Always by kswapd, always for __GFP_MEMALLOC, sometimes for swap-over-nfs, tasks etc. Each of these cases are relatively rare events but the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK check is an unlikely branch in the fast path. This patch moves the check out of the fast path and after it has been determined that the watermarks have not been met. This helps the common fast path at the cost of making the slow path slower and hitting kswapd with a performance cost. It's a reasonable tradeoff. Signed-off-by:

The zlc is used on NUMA machines to quickly skip over zones that are full. However it is always updated, even for the first zone scanned when the zlc might not even be active. As it's a write to a bitmap that potentially bounces cache line it's deceptively expensive and most machines will not care. Only update the zlc if it was active. Signed-off-by:

Currently, on kmem_cache_destroy we delete the cache from the slab_list before __kmem_cache_shutdown, inserting it back to the list on failure. Initially, this was done, because we could release the slab_mutex in __kmem_cache_shutdown to delete sysfs slub entry, but since commit 41a21285 ("slub: use sysfs'es release mechanism for kmem_cache") we remove sysfs entry later in kmem_cache_destroy after dropping the slab_mutex, so that no implementation of __kmem_cache_shutdown can ever release the lock. Therefore we can simplify the code a bit by moving list_del after __kmem_cache_shutdown. Signed-off-by:

Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index, which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest priority entry each time, even if the entry is full. Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head. Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect the swap_avail_head list. Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically ordered correctly. Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

Add plist_requeue(), which moves the specified plist_node after all other same-priority plist_nodes in the list. This is essentially an optimized plist_del() followed by plist_add(). This is needed by swap, which (with the next patch in this set) uses a plist of available swap devices. When a swap device (either a swap partition or swap file) are added to the system with swapon(), the device is added to a plist, ordered by the swap device's priority. When swap needs to allocate a page from one of the swap devices, it takes the page from the first swap device on the plist, which is the highest priority swap device. The swap device is left in the plist until all its pages are used, and then removed from the plist when it becomes full. However, as described in man 2 swapon, swap must allocate pages from swap devices with the same priority in round-robin order; to do this, on each swap page allocation, swap uses a page from the first swap device in the plist, and then calls plist_requeue() to move that swap device entry to after any other same-priority swap devices. The next swap page allocation will again use a page from the first swap device in the plist and requeue it, and so on, resulting in round-robin usage of equal-priority swap devices. Also add plist_test_requeue() test function, for use by plist_test() to test plist_requeue() function. Signed-off-by:

Add PLIST_HEAD() to plist.h, equivalent to LIST_HEAD() from list.h, to define and initialize a struct plist_head. Add plist_for_each_continue() and plist_for_each_entry_continue(), equivalent to list_for_each_continue() and list_for_each_entry_continue(), to iterate over a plist continuing after the current position. Add plist_prev() and plist_next(), equivalent to (struct list_head*)->prev and ->next, implemented by list_prev_entry() and list_next_entry(), to access the prev/next struct plist_node entry. These are needed because unlike struct list_head, direct access of the prev/next struct plist_node isn't possible; the list must be navigated via the contained struct list_head. e.g. instead of accessing the prev by list_prev_entry(node, node_list) it can be accessed by plist_prev(node).

The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries for all active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because: - it stores the entries in priority order - there is a pointer to the highest priority entry - there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry - there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock - swap entries of equal priority should be used equally this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181 where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally. That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists, but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic. The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority swap_info entry, even if it's full. While this does introduce unnecessary list iteration (i.e. Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug; and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration. The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new really, just functions to match existing regular list functions. These are used by the next two patches. The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries (which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally. The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full. As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from swap - plists handle ordering automatically. The list naming is also clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named swap_avail_head. A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as they become full or not full. This patch (of 4): Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct list_heads. Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic. The change fixes the bug: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181 in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry are incorrectly used equally in pairs. The swap behavior is now as advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and equal priority swap targets are used concurrently. Signed-off-by:

In previous commit(mm: use the light version __mod_zone_page_state in mlocked_vma_newpage()) a irq-unsafe __mod_zone_page_state is used. And as suggested by Andrew, to reduce the risks that new call sites incorrectly using mlocked_vma_newpage() without knowing they are adding racing, this patch folds mlocked_vma_newpage() into its only call site, page_add_new_anon_rmap, to make it open-cocded for people to know what is going on.
