mm: correctly update zone->managed_pages
Enhance adjust_managed_page_count() to adjust totalhigh_pages for
highmem pages. And change code which directly adjusts totalram_pages to
use adjust_managed_page_count() because it adjusts totalram_pages,
totalhigh_pages and zone->managed_pages altogether in a safe way.
Remove inc_totalhigh_pages() and dec_totalhigh_pages() from xen/balloon
driver bacause adjust_managed_page_count() has already adjusted
totalhigh_pages.
This patch also fixes two bugs:
1) enhances virtio_balloon driver to adjust totalhigh_pages when
reserve/unreserve pages.
2) enhance memory_hotplug.c to adjust totalhigh_pages when hot-removing
memory.
We still need to deal with modifications of totalram_pages in file
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/cmm.c, but need help from PPC experts.

mm: make __free_pages_bootmem() only available at boot time
In order to simpilify management of totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages, make __free_pages_bootmem() only available at boot
time. With this change applied, __free_pages_bootmem() will only be
used by bootmem.c and nobootmem.c at boot time, so mark it as __init.
Other callers of __free_pages_bootmem() have been converted to use
free_reserved_page(), which handles totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages in a safer way.
This patch also fix a bug in free_pagetable() for x86_64, which should
increase zone->managed_pages instead of zone->present_pages when freeing
reserved pages.
And now we have managed_pages_count_lock to protect totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages, so remove the redundant ppb_lock lock in
put_page_bootmem(). This greatly simplifies the locking rules.

mm: use a dedicated lock to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages
Currently lock_memory_hotplug()/unlock_memory_hotplug() are used to
protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages. Other than the memory
hotplug driver, totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages may also be
modified at runtime by other drivers, such as Xen balloon,
virtio_balloon etc. For those cases, memory hotplug lock is a little
too heavy, so introduce a dedicated lock to protect totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages.
Now we have a simplified locking rules totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages as:
1) no locking for read accesses because they are unsigned long.
2) no locking for write accesses at boot time in single-threaded context.
3) serialize write accesses at runtime by acquiring the dedicated
managed_page_count_lock.
Also adjust zone->managed_pages when freeing reserved pages into the
buddy system, to keep totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in
consistence.

mm: accurately calculate zone->managed_pages for highmem zones
Commit "mm: introduce new field 'managed_pages' to struct zone" assumes
that all highmem pages will be freed into the buddy system by function
mem_init(). But that's not always true, some architectures may reserve
some highmem pages during boot. For example PPC may allocate highmem
pages for giagant HugeTLB pages, and several architectures have code to
check PageReserved flag to exclude highmem pages allocated during boot
when freeing highmem pages into the buddy system.
So treat highmem pages in the same way as normal pages, that is to:
1) reset zone->managed_pages to zero in mem_init().
2) recalculate managed_pages when freeing pages into the buddy system.

swap: discard while swapping only if SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES
Considering the use cases where the swap device supports discard:
a) and can do it quickly;
b) but it's slow to do in small granularities (or concurrent with other
I/O);
c) but the implementation is so horrendous that you don't even want to
send one down;
And assuming that the sysadmin considers it useful to send the discards down
at all, we would (probably) want the following solutions:
i. do the fine-grained discards for freed swap pages, if device is
capable of doing so optimally;
ii. do single-time (batched) swap area discards, either at swapon
or via something like fstrim (not implemented yet);
iii. allow doing both single-time and fine-grained discards; or
iv. turn it off completely (default behavior)
As implemented today, one can only enable/disable discards for swap, but
one cannot select, for instance, solution (ii) on a swap device like (b)
even though the single-time discard is regarded to be interesting, or
necessary to the workload because it would imply (1), and the device is
not capable of performing it optimally.
This patch addresses the scenario depicted above by introducing a way to
ensure the (probably) wanted solutions (i, ii, iii and iv) can be flexibly
flagged through swapon(8) to allow a sysadmin to select the best suitable
swap discard policy accordingly to system constraints.
This patch introduces SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES and SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_ONCE
new flags to allow more flexibe swap discard policies being flagged
through swapon(8). The default behavior is to keep both single-time, or
batched, area discards (SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_ONCE) and fine-grained discards
for page-clusters (SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES) enabled, in order to keep
consistentcy with older kernel behavior, as well as maintain compatibility
with older swapon(8). However, through the new introduced flags the best
suitable discard policy can be selected accordingly to any given swap
device constraint.

mm: tune vm_committed_as percpu_counter batching size
Currently the per cpu counter's batch size for memory accounting is
configured as twice the number of cpus in the system. However, for
system with very large memory, it is more appropriate to make it
proportional to the memory size per cpu in the system.
For example, for a x86_64 system with 64 cpus and 128 GB of memory, the
batch size is only 2*64 pages (0.5 MB). So any memory accounting
changes of more than 0.5MB will overflow the per cpu counter into the
global counter. Instead, for the new scheme, the batch size is
configured to be 0.4% of the memory/cpu = 8MB (128 GB/64 /256), which is
more inline with the memory size.
I've done a repeated brk test of 800KB (from will-it-scale test suite)
with 80 concurrent processes on a 4 socket Westmere machine with a total
of 40 cores. Without the patch, about 80% of cpu is spent on spin-lock
contention within the vm_committed_as counter. With the patch, there's
a 73x speedup on the benchmark and the lock contention drops off almost
entirely.

mm/memory-failure.c: fix memory leak in successful soft offlining
After a successful page migration by soft offlining, the source page is
not properly freed and it's never reusable even if we unpoison it
afterward.
This is caused by the race between freeing page and setting PG_hwpoison.
In successful soft offlining, the source page is put (and the refcount
becomes 0) by putback_lru_page() in unmap_and_move(), where it's linked
to pagevec and actual freeing back to buddy is delayed. So if
PG_hwpoison is set for the page before freeing, the freeing does not
functions as expected (in such case freeing aborts in
free_pages_prepare() check.)
This patch tries to make sure to free the source page before setting
PG_hwpoison on it. To avoid reallocating, the page keeps
MIGRATE_ISOLATE until after setting PG_hwpoison.
This patch also removes obsolete comments about "keeping elevated
refcount" because what they say is not true. Unlike memory_failure(),
soft_offline_page() uses no special page isolation code, and the
soft-offlined pages have no elevated.

If a page is on a pagevec then it is !PageLRU and mark_page_accessed()
may fail to move a page to the active list as expected. Now that the
LRU is selected at LRU drain time, mark pages PageActive if they are on
the local pagevec so it gets moved to the correct list at LRU drain
time. Using a debugging patch it was found that for a simple git
checkout based workload that pages were never added to the active file
list in practice but with this patch applied they are.

LRU Add Inactive Anon 207 200
Note that only pages on the local pagevec are considered on purpose. A
!PageLRU page could be in the process of being released, reclaimed,
migrated or on a remote pagevec that is currently being drained.
Marking it PageActive is vunerable to races where PageLRU and Active
bits are checked at the wrong time. Page reclaim will trigger
VM_BUG_ONs but depending on when the race hits, it could also free a
PageActive page to the page allocator and trigger a bad_page warning.
Similarly a potential race exists between a per-cpu drain on a pagevec
list and an activation on a remote CPU.

__pagevec_lru_add
lru = page_lru(page);
mark_page_accessed
if (PageLRU(page))
activate_page
else
SetPageActive
SetPageLRU(page);
add_page_to_lru_list(page, lruvec, lru);
In this case a PageActive page is added to the inactivate list and later
the inactive/active stats will get skewed. While the PageActive checks
in vmscan could be removed and potentially dealt with, a skew in the
statistics would be very difficult to detect. Hence this patch deals
just with the common case where a page being marked accessed has just
been added to the local pagevec.

per-LRU pagevecs and leaves just one pagevec. The final LRU the page is

This means that fewer pagevecs are available and potentially there is
greater contention on the LRU lock. However, this only applies in the

mm: add tracepoints for LRU activation and insertions
Andrew Perepechko reported a problem whereby pages are being prematurely
evicted as the mark_page_accessed() hint is ignored for pages that are
currently on a pagevec --
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ext4/msg37340.html .
Alexey Lyahkov and Robin Dong have also reported problems recently that
could be due to hot pages reaching the end of the inactive list too
quickly and be reclaimed.
Rather than addressing this on a per-filesystem basis, this series aims
to fix the mark_page_accessed() interface by deferring what LRU a page
is added to pagevec drain time and allowing mark_page_accessed() to call
SetPageActive on a pagevec page.
Patch 1 adds two tracepoints for LRU page activation and insertion. Using
these processes it's possible to build a model of pages in the
LRU that can be processed offline.
Patch 2 defers making the decision on what LRU to add a page to until when
the pagevec is drained.
Patch 3 searches the local pagevec for pages to mark PageActive on
mark_page_accessed. The changelog explains why only the local
pagevec is examined.
Patches 4 and 5 tidy up the API.
postmark, a dd-based test and fs-mark both single and threaded mode were
run but none of them showed any performance degradation or gain as a
result of the patch.
Using patch 1, I built a *very* basic model of the LRU to examine
offline what the average age of different page types on the LRU were in
milliseconds. Of course, capturing the trace distorts the test as it's
written to local disk but it does not matter for the purposes of this
test. The average age of pages in milliseconds were
vanilla deferdrain
Average age mapped anon: 1454 1250
Average age mapped file: 127841 155552
Average age unmapped anon: 85 235
Average age unmapped file: 73633 38884
Average age unmapped buffers: 74054 116155
The LRU activity was mostly files which you'd expect for a dd-based
workload. Note that the average age of buffer pages is increased by the
series and it is expected this is due to the fact that the buffer pages
are now getting added to the active list when drained from the pagevecs.
Note that the average age of the unmapped file data is decreased as they
are still added to the inactive list and are reclaimed before the
buffers.
There is no guarantee this is a universal win for all workloads and it
would be nice if the filesystem people gave some thought as to whether
this decision is generally a win or a loss.
This patch:
Using these tracepoints it is possible to model LRU activity and the
average residency of pages of different types. This can be used to
debug problems related to premature reclaim of pages of particular
types.

vmcore: calculate vmcore file size from buffer size and total size of vmcore objects
The previous patches newly added holes before each chunk of memory and
the holes need to be count in vmcore file size. There are two ways to
count file size in such a way:
1) suppose m is a poitner to the last vmcore object in vmcore_list.
Then file size is (m->offset + m->size), or
2) calculate sum of size of buffers for ELF header, program headers,
ELF note segments and objects in vmcore_list.
Although 1) is more direct and simpler than 2), 2) seems better in that
it reflects internal object structure of /proc/vmcore. Thus, this patch
changes get_vmcore_size_elf{64, 32} so that it calculates size in the
way of 2).
As a result, both get_vmcore_size_elf{64, 32} have the same definition.
Merge them as get_vmcore_size.

vmcore: allocate ELF note segment in the 2nd kernel vmalloc memory
The reasons why we don't allocate ELF note segment in the 1st kernel
(old memory) on page boundary is to keep backward compatibility for old
kernels, and that if doing so, we waste not a little memory due to
round-up operation to fit the memory to page boundary since most of the
buffers are in per-cpu area.
ELF notes are per-cpu, so total size of ELF note segments depends on
number of CPUs. The current maximum number of CPUs on x86_64 is 5192,
and there's already system with 4192 CPUs in SGI, where total size
amounts to 1MB. This can be larger in the near future or possibly even
now on another architecture that has larger size of note per a single
cpu. Thus, to avoid the case where memory allocation for large block
fails, we allocate vmcore objects on vmalloc memory.
This patch adds elfnotes_buf and elfnotes_sz variables to keep pointer
to the ELF note segment buffer and its size. There's no longer the
vmcore object that corresponds to the ELF note segment in vmcore_list.
Accordingly, read_vmcore() has new case for ELF note segment and
set_vmcore_list_offsets_elf{64,32}() and other helper functions starts
calculating offset from sum of size of ELF headers and size of ELF note
segment.

vmalloc: introduce remap_vmalloc_range_partial
We want to allocate ELF note segment buffer on the 2nd kernel in vmalloc
space and remap it to user-space in order to reduce the risk that memory
allocation fails on system with huge number of CPUs and so with huge ELF
note segment that exceeds 11-order block size.
Although there's already remap_vmalloc_range for the purpose of
remapping vmalloc memory to user-space, we need to specify user-space
range via vma.
Mmap on /proc/vmcore needs to remap range across multiple objects, so
the interface that requires vma to cover full range is problematic.
This patch introduces remap_vmalloc_range_partial that receives user-space
range as a pair of base address and size and can be used for mmap on
/proc/vmcore case.
remap_vmalloc_range is rewritten using remap_vmalloc_range_partial.

fs: nfs: inform the VM about pages being committed or unstable

stall waiting on flushers to catch up. Page state in NFS is a bit more
complex and a clean page can be unreclaimable due to being unstable
which is effectively "dirty" from the perspective of the VM from reclaim
context. Similarly, if the inode is currently being committed then it's
similar to being under writeback.

mm: vmscan: stall page reclaim and writeback pages based on dirty/writepage pages encountered
Further testing of the "Reduce system disruption due to kswapd"
discovered a few problems. First and foremost, it's possible for pages
under writeback to be freed which will lead to badness. Second, as
pages were not being swapped the file LRU was being scanned faster and
clean file pages were being reclaimed. In some cases this results in
increased read IO to re-read data from disk. Third, more pages were
being written from kswapd context which can adversly affect IO
performance. Lastly, it was observed that PageDirty pages are not
necessarily dirty on all filesystems (buffers can be clean while
PageDirty is set and ->writepage generates no IO) and not all
filesystems set PageWriteback when the page is being written (e.g.
ext3). This disconnect confuses the reclaim stalling logic. This
follow-up series is aimed at these problems.
The tests were based on three kernels
vanilla: kernel 3.9 as that is what the current mmotm uses as a baseline
mmotm-
20130522 is mmotm as of 22nd May with "Reduce system disruption due to
kswapd" applied on top as per what should be in Andrew's tree
right now
lessdisrupt-v7r10 is this follow-up series on top of the mmotm kernel
The first test used memcached+memcachetest while some background IO was
in progress as implemented by the parallel IO tests implement in MM
Tests. memcachetest benchmarks how many operations/second memcached can
service. It starts with no background IO on a freshly created ext4
filesystem and then re-runs the test with larger amounts of IO in the
background to roughly simulate a large copy in progress. The
expectation is that the IO should have little or no impact on
memcachetest which is running entirely in memory.

memcachetest is the transactions/second reported by memcachetest. In
the vanilla kernel note that performance drops from around
23K/sec to just over 4K/second when there is 2385M of IO going
on in the background. With current mmotm, there is no collapse
in performance and with this follow-up series there is little
change.
swaptotal is the total amount of swap traffic. With mmotm and the follow-up
series, the total amount of swapping is much reduced.

There are a number of observations to make here
1. Swap outs are almost eliminated. Swap ins are 0 indicating that the
pages swapped were really unused anonymous pages. Related to that,
major faults are much reduced.
2. kswapd efficiency was impacted by the initial series but with these
follow-up patches, the efficiency is now at 66% indicating that far
fewer pages were skipped during scanning due to dirty or writeback
pages.
3. kswapd velocity is reduced indicating that fewer pages are being scanned
with the follow-up series as kswapd now stalls when the tail of the
LRU queue is full of unqueued dirty pages. The stall gives flushers a
chance to catch-up so kswapd can reclaim clean pages when it wakes
4. In light of Zlatko's recent reports about zone scanning imbalances,
mmtests now reports scanning velocity on a per-zone basis. With mainline,
you can see that the scanning activity is dominated by the Normal
zone with over 45 times more scanning in Normal than the DMA32 zone.
With the series currently in mmotm, the ratio is slightly better but it
is still the case that the bulk of scanning is in the highest zone. With
this follow-up series, the ratio of scanning between the Normal and
DMA32 zone is roughly equal.
5. As Dave Chinner observed, the current patches in mmotm increased the
number of pages written from kswapd context which is expected to adversly
impact IO performance. With the follow-up patches, far fewer pages are
written from kswapd context than the mainline kernel
6. With the series in mmotm, fewer inodes were reclaimed by kswapd. With
the follow-up series, there is less slab shrinking activity and no inodes
were reclaimed.
7. Note that "Sectors Read" is drastically reduced implying that the source
data being used for the IO is not being aggressively discarded due to
page reclaim skipping over dirty pages and reclaiming clean pages. Note
that the reducion in reads could also be due to inode data not being
re-read from disk after a slab shrink.

In light of the changes in writes from reclaim context, the number of
reads and Dave Chinner's concerns about IO performance I took a closer
look at the IO stats for the test disk. Few observations
1. The average queue size is reduced by the initial series and roughly
the same with this follow up.
2. Average wait times for writes are reduced and as the IO
is completing faster it at least implies that the gain is because
flushers are writing the files efficiently instead of page reclaim
getting in the way.
3. The reduction in maximum write latency is staggering. 28 seconds down
to 3 seconds.
Jan Kara asked how NFS is affected by all of this. Unstable pages can
be taken into account as one of the patches in the series shows but it
is still the case that filesystems with unusual handling of dirty or
writeback could still be treated better.
Tests like postmark, fsmark and largedd showed up nothing useful. On my test
setup, pages are simply not being written back from reclaim context with or
without the patches and there are no changes in performance. My test setup
probably is just not strong enough network-wise to be really interesting.
I ran a longer-lived memcached test with IO going to NFS instead of a local disk
parallelio

1. Performance does not collapse due to IO which is good. IO is also completing
faster. Note with mmotm, IO completes in a third of the time and faster again
with this series applied
2. Swapping is reduced, although not eliminated. The figures for the follow-up
look bad but it does vary a bit as the stalling is not perfect for nfs
or filesystems like ext3 with unusual handling of dirty and writeback
pages
3. There are swapins, particularly with larger amounts of IO indicating
that active pages are being reclaimed. However, the number of much
reduced.

This patch:
The patch "mm: vmscan: Have kswapd writeback pages based on dirty pages
encountered, not priority" decides whether to writeback pages from reclaim
context based on the number of dirty pages encountered. This situation is
flagged too easily and flushers are not given the chance to catch up
resulting in more pages being written from reclaim context and potentially
impacting IO performance. The check for PageWriteback is also misplaced
as it happens within a PageDirty check which is nonsense as the dirty may
have been cleared for IO. The accounting is updated very late and pages
that are already under writeback, were reactivated, could not unmapped or
could not be released are all missed. Similarly, a page is considered
congested for reasons other than being congested and pages that cannot be
written out in the correct context are skipped. Finally, it considers
stalling and writing back filesystem pages due to encountering dirty
anonymous pages at the tail of the LRU which is dumb.
This patch causes kswapd to begin writing filesystem pages from reclaim
context only if page reclaim found that all filesystem pages at the tail
of the LRU were unqueued dirty pages. Before it starts writing filesystem
pages, it will stall to give flushers a chance to catch up. The decision
on whether wait_iff_congested is also now determined by dirty filesystem
pages only. Congested pages are based on whether the underlying BDI is
congested regardless of the context of the reclaiming process.

This is not wrong as such but it does not make much sense either. This
patch checks once per pgdat scan if kswapd should be writing pages.

mm: vmscan: block kswapd if it is encountering pages under writeback
Historically, kswapd used to congestion_wait() at higher priorities if
it was not making forward progress. This made no sense as the failure
to make progress could be completely independent of IO. It was later
replaced by wait_iff_congested() and removed entirely by commit
258401a6
(mm: don't wait on congested zones in balance_pgdat()) as it was
duplicating logic in shrink_inactive_list().
This is problematic. If kswapd encounters many pages under writeback
and it continues to scan until it reaches the high watermark then it
will quickly skip over the pages under writeback and reclaim clean young
pages or push applications out to swap.
The use of wait_iff_congested() is not suited to kswapd as it will only
stall if the underlying BDI is really congested or a direct reclaimer
was unable to write to the underlying BDI. kswapd bypasses the BDI
congestion as it sets PF_SWAPWRITE but even if this was taken into
account then it would cause direct reclaimers to stall on writeback
which is not desirable.
This patch sets a ZONE_WRITEBACK flag if direct reclaim or kswapd is
encountering too many pages under writeback. If this flag is set and
kswapd encounters a PageReclaim page under writeback then it'll assume
that the LRU lists are being recycled too quickly before IO can complete
and block waiting for some IO to complete.

mm: vmscan: have kswapd writeback pages based on dirty pages encountered, not priority
Currently kswapd queues dirty pages for writeback if scanning at an
elevated priority but the priority kswapd scans at is not related to the
number of unqueued dirty encountered. Since commit "mm: vmscan: Flatten
kswapd priority loop", the priority is related to the size of the LRU
and the zone watermark which is no indication as to whether kswapd
should write pages or not.
This patch tracks if an excessive number of unqueued dirty pages are
being encountered at the end of the LRU. If so, it indicates that dirty
pages are being recycled before flusher threads can clean them and flags
the zone so that kswapd will start writing pages until the zone is
balanced.

mm: vmscan: do not allow kswapd to scan at maximum priority
Page reclaim at priority 0 will scan the entire LRU as priority 0 is
considered to be a near OOM condition. Kswapd can reach priority 0
quite easily if it is encountering a large number of pages it cannot
reclaim such as pages under writeback. When this happens, kswapd
reclaims very aggressively even though there may be no real risk of
allocation failure or OOM.
This patch prevents kswapd reaching priority 0 and trying to reclaim the
world. Direct reclaimers will still reach priority 0 in the event of an

mm: vmscan: decide whether to compact the pgdat based on reclaim progress
In the past, kswapd makes a decision on whether to compact memory after
the pgdat was considered balanced. This more or less worked but it is
late to make such a decision and does not fit well now that kswapd makes
a decision whether to exit the zone scanning loop depending on reclaim
progress.
This patch will compact a pgdat if at least the requested number of
pages were reclaimed from unbalanced zones for a given priority. If any
zone is currently balanced, kswapd will not call compaction as it is
expected the necessary pages are already available.

mm: vmscan: flatten kswapd priority loop
kswapd stops raising the scanning priority when at least
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages have been reclaimed or the pgdat is considered
balanced. It then rechecks if it needs to restart at DEF_PRIORITY and
whether high-order reclaim needs to be reset. This is not wrong per-se
but it is confusing to follow and forcing kswapd to stay at DEF_PRIORITY
may require several restarts before it has scanned enough pages to meet
the high watermark even at 100% efficiency. This patch irons out the
logic a bit by controlling when priority is raised and removing the
"goto loop_again".
This patch has kswapd raise the scanning priority until it is scanning
enough pages that it could meet the high watermark in one shrink of the
LRU lists if it is able to reclaim at 100% efficiency. It will not
raise the scanning prioirty higher unless it is failing to reclaim any
pages.
To avoid infinite looping for high-order allocation requests kswapd will
not reclaim for high-order allocations when it has reclaimed at least
twice the number of pages as the allocation request.

mm: vmscan: obey proportional scanning requirements for kswapd
Simplistically, the anon and file LRU lists are scanned proportionally
depending on the value of vm.swappiness although there are other factors
taken into account by get_scan_count(). The patch "mm: vmscan: Limit
the number of pages kswapd reclaims" limits the number of pages kswapd
reclaims but it breaks this proportional scanning and may evenly shrink
anon/file LRUs regardless of vm.swappiness.
This patch preserves the proportional scanning and reclaim. It does
mean that kswapd will reclaim more than requested but the number of

Kswapd and page reclaim behaviour has been screwy in one way or the
other for a long time. Very broadly speaking it worked in the far past
because machines were limited in memory so it did not have that many
pages to scan and it stalled congestion_wait() frequently to prevent it
going completely nuts. In recent times it has behaved very
unsatisfactorily with some of the problems compounded by the removal of
stall logic and the introduction of transparent hugepage support with
high-order reclaims.
There are many variations of bugs that are rooted in this area. One
example is reports of a large copy operations or backup causing the
machine to grind to a halt or applications pushed to swap. Sometimes in
low memory situations a large percentage of memory suddenly gets
reclaimed. In other cases an application starts and kswapd hits 100%
CPU usage for prolonged periods of time and so on. There is now talk of
introducing features like an extra free kbytes tunable to work around
aspects of the problem instead of trying to deal with it. It's
compounded by the problem that it can be very workload and machine
specific.
This series aims at addressing some of the worst of these problems
without attempting to fundmentally alter how page reclaim works.
Patches 1-2 limits the number of pages kswapd reclaims while still obeying
the anon/file proportion of the LRUs it should be scanning.
Patches 3-4 control how and when kswapd raises its scanning priority and
deletes the scanning restart logic which is tricky to follow.
Patch 5 notes that it is too easy for kswapd to reach priority 0 when
scanning and then reclaim the world. Down with that sort of thing.
Patch 6 notes that kswapd starts writeback based on scanning priority which
is not necessarily related to dirty pages. It will have kswapd
writeback pages if a number of unqueued dirty pages have been
recently encountered at the tail of the LRU.
Patch 7 notes that sometimes kswapd should stall waiting on IO to complete
to reduce LRU churn and the likelihood that it'll reclaim young
clean pages or push applications to swap. It will cause kswapd
to block on IO if it detects that pages being reclaimed under
writeback are recycling through the LRU before the IO completes.
Patchies 8-9 are cosmetic but balance_pgdat() is easier to follow after they
are applied.
This was tested using memcached+memcachetest while some background IO
was in progress as implemented by the parallel IO tests implement in MM
Tests.
memcachetest benchmarks how many operations/second memcached can service
and it is run multiple times. It starts with no background IO and then
re-runs the test with larger amounts of IO in the background to roughly
simulate a large copy in progress. The expectation is that the IO
should have little or no impact on memcachetest which is running
entirely in memory.

Note how the vanilla kernels performance collapses when there is enough
IO taking place in the background. This drop in performance is part of
what users complain of when they start backups. Note how the swapin and
major fault figures indicate that processes were being pushed to swap
prematurely. With the series applied, there is no noticable performance
drop and while there is still some swap activity, it's tiny.
20 iterations of this test were run in total and averaged. Every 5
iterations, additional IO was generated in the background using dd to
measure how the workload was impacted. The 0M, 715M, 2385M and 4055M
subblock refer to the amount of IO going on in the background at each
iteration. So memcachetest-2385M is reporting how many
transactions/second memcachetest recorded on average over 5 iterations
while there was 2385M of IO going on in the ground. There are six
blocks of information reported here
memcachetest is the transactions/second reported by memcachetest. In
the vanilla kernel note that performance drops from around
22K/sec to just under 4K/second when there is 2385M of IO going
on in the background. This is one type of performance collapse
users complain about if a large cp or backup starts in the
background
io-duration refers to how long it takes for the background IO to
complete. It's showing that with the patched kernel that the IO
completes faster while not interfering with the memcache
workload
swaptotal is the total amount of swap traffic. With the patched kernel,
the total amount of swapping is much reduced although it is
still not zero.
swapin in this case is an indication as to whether we are swap trashing.
The closer the swapin/swapout ratio is to 1, the worse the
trashing is. Note with the patched kernel that there is no swapin
activity indicating that all the pages swapped were really inactive
unused pages.
minorfaults are just minor faults. An increased number of minor faults
can indicate that page reclaim is unmapping the pages but not
swapping them out before they are faulted back in. With the
patched kernel, there is only a small change in minor faults
majorfaults are just major faults in the target workload and a high
number can indicate that a workload is being prematurely
swapped. With the patched kernel, major faults are much reduced. As
there are no swapin's recorded so it's not being swapped. The likely
explanation is that that libraries or configuration files used by
the workload during startup get paged out by the background IO.
Overall with the series applied, there is no noticable performance drop
due to background IO and while there is still some swap activity, it's
tiny and the lack of swapins imply that the swapped pages were inactive
and unused.

Unfortunately, note that there is a small amount of direct reclaim due to
kswapd no longer reclaiming the world. ftrace indicates that the direct
reclaim stalls are mostly harmless with the vast bulk of the stalls
incurred by dd

38 memcachetest-13733
49 memcachetest-12443
57 tee-3368
1541 dd-13826
1981 dd-12539
A consequence of the direct reclaim for dd is that the processes for the
IO workload may show a higher system CPU usage. There is also a risk that
kswapd not reclaiming the world may mean that it stays awake balancing
zones, does not stall on the appropriate events and continually scans
pages it cannot reclaim consuming CPU. This will be visible as continued
high CPU usage but in my own tests I only saw a single spike lasting less
than a second and I did not observe any problems related to reclaim while
running the series on my desktop.
This patch:
The number of pages kswapd can reclaim is bound by the number of pages it
scans which is related to the size of the zone and the scanning priority.
In many cases the priority remains low because it's reset every
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX reclaimed pages but in the event kswapd scans a large
number of pages it cannot reclaim, it will raise the priority and
potentially discard a large percentage of the zone as sc->nr_to_reclaim is
ULONG_MAX. The user-visible effect is a reclaim "spike" where a large
percentage of memory is suddenly freed. It would be bad enough if this
was just unused memory but because of how anon/file pages are balanced it
is possible that applications get pushed to swap unnecessarily.
This patch limits the number of pages kswapd will reclaim to the high
watermark. Reclaim will still overshoot due to it not being a hard limit
as shrink_lruvec() will ignore the sc.nr_to_reclaim at DEF_PRIORITY but it
prevents kswapd reclaiming the world at higher priorities. The number of
pages it reclaims is not adjusted for high-order allocations as kswapd
will reclaim excessively if it is to balance zones for high-order
allocations.

This lets us avoid calling setup_pageset() (and the draining required to

This does change the behavior of zone_pcp_update() as the percpu pagesets

mm/page_alloc: prevent concurrent updaters of pcp ->batch and ->high
Because we are going to rely upon a careful transision between old and new
->high and ->batch values using memory barriers and will remove
stop_machine(), we need to prevent multiple updaters from interweaving
their memory writes.
Add a simple mutex to protect both update loops.

mm/page_alloc: factor out setting of pcp->high and pcp->batch
"Problems" with the current code:
1: there is a lack of synchronization in setting ->high and ->batch in
percpu_pagelist_fraction_sysctl_handler()
2: stop_machine() in zone_pcp_update() is unnecissary.
3: zone_pcp_update() does not consider the case where
percpu_pagelist_fraction is non-zero
To fix:
1: add memory barriers, a safe ->batch value, an update side mutex when
updating ->high and ->batch, and use ACCESS_ONCE() for ->batch users
that expect a stable value.
2: avoid draining pages in zone_pcp_update(), rely upon the memory
barriers added to fix #1
3: factor out quite a few functions, and then call the appropriate one.
Note that it results in a change to the behavior of zone_pcp_update(),
which is used by memory_hotplug. I'm rather certain that I've diserned
(and preserved) the essential behavior (changing ->high and ->batch), and
only eliminated unneeded actions (draining the per cpu pages), but this
may not be the case.
Further note that the draining of pages that previously took place in
zone_pcp_update() occured after repeated draining when attempting to
offline a page, and after the offline has "succeeded". It appears that
the draining was added to zone_pcp_update() to avoid refactoring
setup_pageset() into 2 funtions.
This patch:
Creates pageset_set_batch() for use in setup_pageset().
pageset_set_batch() imitates the functionality of
setup_pagelist_highmark(), but uses the boot time
(percpu_pagelist_fraction == 0) calculations for determining ->high based
on ->batch.

mm: remove compressed copy from zram in-memory
Swap subsystem does lazy swap slot free with expecting the page would be
swapped out again so we can avoid unnecessary write.
But the problem in in-memory swap(ex, zram) is that it consumes memory

swap and big storage swap or in-memory swap alone.
This patch makes swap subsystem free swap slot as soon as swap-read is
completed and make the swapcache page dirty so the page should be
written out the swap device to reclaim it. It means we never lose it.

pagemap: prepare to reuse constant bits with page-shift
In order to reuse bits from pagemap entries gracefully, we leave the
entries as is but on pagemap open emit a warning in dmesg, that bits
55-60 are about to change in a couple of releases. Next, if a user
issues soft-dirty clear command via the clear_refs file (it was disabled
before v3.9) we assume that he's aware of the new pagemap format, note
that fact and report the bits in pagemap in the new manner.
The "migration strategy" looks like this then:
1. existing users are not affected -- they don't touch soft-dirty feature, thus
see old bits in pagemap, but are warned and have time to fix themselves
2. those who use soft-dirty know about new pagemap format
3. some time soon we get rid of any signs of page-shift in pagemap as well as
this trick with clear-soft-dirty affecting pagemap format.

mm: soft-dirty bits for user memory changes tracking
The soft-dirty is a bit on a PTE which helps to track which pages a task
writes to. In order to do this tracking one should
1. Clear soft-dirty bits from PTEs ("echo 4 > /proc/PID/clear_refs)
2. Wait some time.
3. Read soft-dirty bits (55'th in /proc/PID/pagemap2 entries)
To do this tracking, the writable bit is cleared from PTEs when the
soft-dirty bit is. Thus, after this, when the task tries to modify a
page at some virtual address the #PF occurs and the kernel sets the
soft-dirty bit on the respective PTE.
Note, that although all the task's address space is marked as r/o after
the soft-dirty bits clear, the #PF-s that occur after that are processed
fast. This is so, since the pages are still mapped to physical memory,
and thus all the kernel does is finds this fact out and puts back
writable, dirty and soft-dirty bits on the PTE.
Another thing to note, is that when mremap moves PTEs they are marked
with soft-dirty as well, since from the user perspective mremap modifies
the virtual memory at mremap's new address.

clear_refs: sanitize accepted commands declaration
This is the implementation of the soft-dirty bit concept that should
help keep track of changes in user memory, which in turn is very-very
required by the checkpoint-restore project (http://criu.org).
To create a dump of an application(s) we save all the information about
it to files, and the biggest part of such dump is the contents of tasks'
memory. However, there are usage scenarios where it's not required to
get _all_ the task memory while creating a dump. For example, when
doing periodical dumps, it's only required to take full memory dump only
at the first step and then take incremental changes of memory. Another
example is live migration. We copy all the memory to the destination
node without stopping all tasks, then stop them, check for what pages
has changed, dump it and the rest of the state, then copy it to the
destination node. This decreases freeze time significantly.
That said, some help from kernel to watch how processes modify the
contents of their memory is required.
The proposal is to track changes with the help of new soft-dirty bit
this way:
1. First do "echo 4 > /proc/$pid/clear_refs".
At that point kernel clears the soft dirty _and_ the writable bits from all
ptes of process $pid. From now on every write to any page will result in #pf
and the subsequent call to pte_mkdirty/pmd_mkdirty, which in turn will set
the soft dirty flag.
2. Then read the /proc/$pid/pagemap2 and check the soft-dirty bit reported there
(the 55'th one). If set, the respective pte was written to since last call
to clear refs.
The soft-dirty bit is the _PAGE_BIT_HIDDEN one. Although it's used by
kmemcheck, the latter one marks kernel pages with it, while the former
bit is put on user pages so they do not conflict to each other.
This patch:
A new clear-refs type will be added in the next patch, so prepare
code for that.

ocfs2: fix readonly issue in ocfs2_unlink()
While deleting a file with ocfs2_unlink(), there is a bug in this
function. This bug will result in filesystem read-only.
After calling ocfs2_orphan_add(), the file which will be deleted is
added into orphan dir. If ocfs2_delete_entry() fails, the file still
exists in the parent dir. And this scenario introduces a conflict of
metadata.
If a file is added into orphan dir, when we put inode of the file with
iput(), the inode i_flags is setted (~OCFS2_VALID_FL) in
ocfs2_remove_inode(), and then write back to disk.
But as previously mentioned, the file still exists in the parent dir.
On other nodes, the file can be still accessed. When first read the
file with ocfs2_read_blocks() from disk, It will check and avalidate
inode using ocfs2_validate_inode_block(). So File system will be
readonly because the inode is invalid. In other words, the inode
i_flags has been set (~OCFS2_VALID_FL).

ocfs2: rework transaction rollback in ocfs2_relink_block_group()
In ocfs2_relink_block_group(), we roll back all those changes if notify
intent to modify buffers for metadata update failed even if the relevant
buffer has not yet been modified/got dirty at that point, that are not
quite right because of:
- None buffer has been modified/dirty if failed to call
ocfs2_journal_access_gd() against the previous block group buffer
- Only the previous block group buffer has got dirty if failed to call
ocfs2_journal_access_gd() against the block group buffer
- There is no need to roll back the change for file entry buffer at all
Those problems will not cause anything wrong but unnecessary. This
patch fix them and kill the useless bg_ptr variable as well.

ocfs2: need rollback when journal_access failed in ocfs2_orphan_add()
While adding a file into orphan dir in ocfs2_orphan_add(), it calls
__ocfs2_add_entry() before ocfs2_journal_access_di(). If
ocfs2_journal_access_di() failed, the file is added into orphan dir, and
orphan dir dinode updated, but file dinode has not been updated.
Accordingly, the data is not consistent between file dinode and orphan
dir.
So, need to call ocfs2_journal_access_di() before __ocfs2_add_entry(),
and if ocfs2_journal_access_di() failed, orphan_fe and
orphan_dir_inode->i_nlink need rollback.
This bug was added by

i_orphaned_slot when adding inode to orphan dir.").

ocfs2: dlmlock_master() should return DLM_NORMAL after adding lock to blocked list
dlmlock_master() returns DLM_RECOVERING/DLM_MIGRATING/ DLM_FORWAR after
adding lock to blocked list if lockres has the state
DLM_LOCK_RES_RECOVERING/DLM_LOCK_RES_MIGRATING/ DLM_LOCK_RES_IN_PROGRESS.
so it will retry in dlmlock(). And this may cause dlm_thread fall into an
infinite loop
Thread1 dlm_thread
calls dlm_lock->dlmlock_master,
if lockresA is in state
DLM_LOCK_RES_RECOVERING, calls
__dlm_wait_on_lockres() and waits
until others threads clear this
state;
If cannot grant this lock,
adding lock to blocked list,
and return DLM_RECOVERING;
Grant this lock and move it to
grant list;
After a while, retry and
calls list_add_tail(), adding lock
to blocked list again.
Granted and blocked list of this lockres will become the following
conditions:
lock_res->granted.next = dlm_lock->list_head;
lock_res->blocked.next = dlm_lock->list_head;
dlm_lock->list_head.next = dlm_lock_resource->blocked;
When dlm_thread traverses the granted list, it will fall into an endless
loop, checking dlm_lock.list_head, dlm_lock->list_head.next
(i.e.lock_res->blocked), lock_res->blocked.next(i.e.dlm_lock.list_head
again) .....
