mm: update_lru_size do the __mod_zone_page_state
Konstantin Khlebnikov pointed out (nearly four years ago, when lumpy reclaim was removed) that lru_size can be updated by -nr_taken once per call to isolate_lru_pages(), instead of page by page. Update it inside isolate_lru_pages(), or at its two callsites? I chose to update it at the callsites, rearranging and grouping the updates by nr_taken and nr_scanned together in both. With one exception, mem_cgroup_update_lru_size(,lru,) is then used where __mod_zone_page_state(,NR_LRU_BASE+lru,) is used; and we shall be adding some more calls in a future commit. Make the code a little smaller and simpler by incorporating stat update in lru_size update. The exception was move_active_pages_to_lru(), which aggregated the pgmoved stat update separately from the individual lru_size updates; but I still think this a simplification worth making. However, the __mod_zone_page_state is not peculiar to mem_cgroups: so better use the name update_lru_size, calls mem_cgroup_update_lru_size when CONFIG_MEMCG.

mm: rename _count, field of the struct page, to _refcount
Many developers already know that field for reference count of the struct page is _count and atomic type. They would try to handle it directly and this could break the purpose of page reference count tracepoint. To prevent direct _count modification, this patch rename it to _refcount and add warning message on the code. After that, developer who need to handle reference count will find that field should not be accessed directly.

mm: wake kcompactd before kswapd's short sleep
When kswapd goes to sleep it checks if the node is balanced and at first
it sleeps only for HZ/10 time, then rechecks if the node is still
balanced and nobody has woken it during the initial sleep. Only then it
goes fully sleep until an allocation slowpath wakes it up again.
For higher-order allocations, waking up kcompactd is done only before
the full sleep. This turns out to be an issue in case another
high-order allocation fails during the initial sleep. It will wake
kswapd up, however kswapd considers the zone balanced from the order-0
perspective, and will just quickly try to sleep again. So if there's a
longer stream of high-order allocations hitting the slowpath and waking
up kswapd, it might never actually wake up kcompactd, which may be
considered a regression from kswapd-based compaction. In the worst
case, it might be that a single allocation that cannot direct
reclaim/compact itself is waking kswapd in the retry loop and preventing
kcompactd from being woken up and unblocking it.
This patch makes sure kcompactd is woken up in such situations by simply
moving the wakeup before the short initial sleep. More efficient
solution would be to wake kcompactd immediately instead of kswapd if the
node is already order-0 balanced, but in that case we should also move
reset_isolation_suitable() call to kcompactd so it's not adding to the
allocator's latency. Since it's late in the 4.6 cycle, let's go with
the simpler change for now.

mm: introduce page reference manipulation functions
The success of CMA allocation largely depends on the success of migration and key factor of it is page reference count. Until now, page reference is manipulated by direct calling atomic functions so we cannot follow up who and where manipulate it. Then, it is hard to find actual reason of CMA allocation failure. CMA allocation should be guaranteed to succeed so finding offending place is really important. In this patch, call sites where page reference is manipulated are converted to introduced wrapper function. This is preparation step to add tracepoint to each page reference manipulation function. With this facility, we can easily find reason of CMA allocation failure. There is no functional change in this patch. In addition, this patch also converts reference read sites. It will help a second step that renames page._count to something else and prevents later attempt to direct access to it (Suggested by Andrew).

mm, kswapd: replace kswapd compaction with waking up kcompactd
Similarly to direct reclaim/compaction, kswapd attempts to combine
reclaim and compaction to attempt making memory allocation of given
order available.
The details differ from direct reclaim e.g. in having high watermark as
a goal. The code involved in kswapd's reclaim/compaction decisions has
evolved to be quite complex.
Testing reveals that it doesn't actually work in at least one scenario,
and closer inspection suggests that it could be greatly simplified
without compromising on the goal (make high-order page available) or
efficiency (don't reclaim too much). The simplification relieas of
doing all compaction in kcompactd, which is simply woken up when high
watermarks are reached by kswapd's reclaim.
The scenario where kswapd compaction doesn't work was found with mmtests
test stress-highalloc configured to attempt order-9 allocations without
direct reclaim, just waking up kswapd. There was no compaction attempt
from kswapd during the whole test. Some added instrumentation shows
what happens:
- balance_pgdat() sets end_zone to Normal, as it's not balanced
- reclaim is attempted on DMA zone, which sets nr_attempted to 99, but
it cannot reclaim anything, so sc.nr_reclaimed is 0
- for zones DMA32 and Normal, kswapd_shrink_zone uses testorder=0, so
it merely checks if high watermarks were reached for base pages.
This is true, so no reclaim is attempted. For DMA, testorder=0
wasn't used, as compaction_suitable() returned COMPACT_SKIPPED
- even though the pgdat_needs_compaction flag wasn't set to false, no
compaction happens due to the condition sc.nr_reclaimed >
nr_attempted being false (as 0 < 99)
- priority-- due to nr_reclaimed being 0, repeat until priority reaches
0 pgdat_balanced() is false as only the small zone DMA appears
balanced (curiously in that check, watermark appears OK and
compaction_suitable() returns COMPACT_PARTIAL, because a lower
classzone_idx is used there)
Now, even if it was decided that reclaim shouldn't be attempted on the
DMA zone, the scenario would be the same, as (sc.nr_reclaimed=0 >
nr_attempted=0) is also false. The condition really should use >= as
the comment suggests. Then there is a mismatch in the check for setting
pgdat_needs_compaction to false using low watermark, while the rest uses
high watermark, and who knows what other subtlety. Hopefully this
demonstrates that this is unsustainable.
Luckily we can simplify this a lot. The reclaim/compaction decisions
make sense for direct reclaim scenario, but in kswapd, our primary goal
is to reach high watermark in order-0 pages. Afterwards we can attempt
compaction just once. Unlike direct reclaim, we don't reclaim extra
pages (over the high watermark), the current code already disallows it
for good reasons.
After this patch, we simply wake up kcompactd to process the pgdat,
after we have either succeeded or failed to reach the high watermarks in
kswapd, which goes to sleep. We pass kswapd's order and classzone_idx,
so kcompactd can apply the same criteria to determine which zones are
worth compacting. Note that we use the classzone_idx from
wakeup_kswapd(), not balanced_classzone_idx which can include higher
zones that kswapd tried to balance too, but didn't consider them in
pgdat_balanced().
Since kswapd now cannot create high-order pages itself, we need to
adjust how it determines the zones to be balanced. The key element here
is adding a "highorder" parameter to zone_balanced, which, when set to
false, makes it consider only order-0 watermark instead of the desired
higher order (this was done previously by kswapd_shrink_zone(), but not
elsewhere). This false is passed for example in pgdat_balanced().
Importantly, wakeup_kswapd() uses true to make sure kswapd and thus
kcompactd are woken up for a high-order allocation failure.
The last thing is to decide what to do with pageblock_skip bitmap
handling. Compaction maintains a pageblock_skip bitmap to record
pageblocks where isolation recently failed. This bitmap can be reset by
three ways:
1) direct compaction is restarting after going through the full deferred cycle
2) kswapd goes to sleep, and some other direct compaction has previously
finished scanning the whole zone and set zone->compact_blockskip_flush.
Note that a successful direct compaction clears this flag.
3) compaction was invoked manually via trigger in /proc
The case 2) is somewhat fuzzy to begin with, but after introducing
kcompactd we should update it. The check for direct compaction in 1),
and to set the flush flag in 2) use current_is_kswapd(), which doesn't
work for kcompactd. Thus, this patch adds bool direct_compaction to
compact_control to use in 2). For the case 1) we remove the check
completely - unlike the former kswapd compaction, kcompactd does use the
deferred compaction functionality, so flushing tied to restarting from
deferred compaction makes sense here.
Note that when kswapd goes to sleep, kcompactd is woken up, so it will
see the flushed pageblock_skip bits. This is different from when the
former kswapd compaction observed the bits and I believe it makes more
sense. Kcompactd can afford to be more thorough than a direct
compaction trying to limit allocation latency, or kswapd whose primary
goal is to reclaim.
For testing, I used stress-highalloc configured to do order-9
allocations with GFP_NOWAIT|__GFP_HIGH|__GFP_COMP, so they relied just
on kswapd/kcompactd reclaim/compaction (the interfering kernel builds in
phases 1 and 2 work as usual):

After this patch we see improvements in allocation success rate
(especially for phase 3) along with increased compaction activity. The
compaction stalls (direct compaction) in the interfering kernel builds
(probably THP's) also decreased somewhat thanks to kcompactd activity,
yet THP alloc successes improved a bit.
Note that elapsed and user time isn't so useful for this benchmark,
because of the background interference being unpredictable. It's just
to quickly spot some major unexpected differences. System time is
somewhat more useful and that didn't increase.
Also (after adjusting mmtests' ftrace monitor):
Time kswapd awake 2547781 2269241
Time kcompactd awake 0 119253
Time direct compacting 939937 557649
Time kswapd compacting 0 0
Time kcompactd compacting 0 119099
The decrease of overal time spent compacting appears to not match the
increased compaction stats. I suspect the tasks get rescheduled and
since the ftrace monitor doesn't see that, the reported time is wall
time, not CPU time. But arguably direct compactors care about overall
latency anyway, whether busy compacting or waiting for CPU doesn't
matter. And that latency seems to almost halved.
It's also interesting how much time kswapd spent awake just going
through all the priorities and failing to even try compacting, over and
over.
We can also configure stress-highalloc to perform both direct
reclaim/compaction and wakeup kswapd/kcompactd, by using
GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH|__GFP_COMP:

mm: memcontrol: generalize locking for the page->mem_cgroup binding
These patches tag the page cache radix tree eviction entries with the memcg an evicted page belonged to, thus making per-cgroup LRU reclaim work properly and be as adaptive to new cache workingsets as global reclaim already is. This should have been part of the original thrash detection patch series, but was deferred due to the complexity of those patches. This patch (of 5): So far the only sites that needed to exclude charge migration to stabilize page->mem_cgroup have been per-cgroup page statistics, hence the name mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat(). But per-cgroup thrash detection will add another site that needs to ensure page->mem_cgroup lifetime. Rename these locking functions to the more generic lock_page_memcg() and unlock_page_memcg(). Since charge migration is a cgroup1 feature only, we might be able to delete it at some point, and these now easy to identify locking sites along with it.

This means that precise numbers are important for the correct decision. zone_reclaimable_pages uses zone_page_state which can contain stale data with per-cpu diffs not synced yet (the last vmstat_update might have run 1s in the past). Use zone_page_state_snapshot() in zone_reclaimable_pages() instead.

dax: support dirty DAX entries in radix tree
Add support for tracking dirty DAX entries in the struct address_space radix tree. This tree is already used for dirty page writeback, and it already supports the use of exceptional (non struct page*) entries. In order to properly track dirty DAX pages we will insert new exceptional entries into the radix tree that represent dirty DAX PTE or PMD pages. These exceptional entries will also contain the writeback addresses for the PTE or PMD faults that we can use at fsync/msync time. There are currently two types of exceptional entries (shmem and shadow) that can be placed into the radix tree, and this adds a third. We rely on the fact that only one type of exceptional entry can be found in a given radix tree based on its usage. This happens for free with DAX vs shmem but we explicitly prevent shadow entries from being added to radix trees for DAX mappings. The only shadow entries that would be generated for DAX radix trees would be to track zero page mappings that were created for holes. These pages would receive minimal benefit from having shadow entries, and the choice to have only one type of exceptional entry in a given radix tree makes the logic simpler both in clear_exceptional_entry() and in the rest of DAX.

mm: vmscan: pass memcg to get_scan_count()
memcg will come in handy in get_scan_count(). It can already be used for getting swappiness immediately in get_scan_count() instead of passing it around. The following patches will add more memcg-related values, which will be used there.

mm: memcontrol: give the kmem states more descriptive names
On any given memcg, the kmem accounting feature has three separate states: not initialized, structures allocated, and actively accounting slab memory. These are represented through a combination of the kmem_acct_activated and kmem_acct_active flags, which is confusing. Convert to a kmem_state enum with the states NONE, ALLOCATED, and ONLINE. Then rename the functions to modify the state accordingly. This follows the nomenclature of css object states more closely.

mm: support madvise(MADV_FREE)
Linux doesn't have an ability to free pages lazy while other OS already have been supported that named by madvise(MADV_FREE). The gain is clear that kernel can discard freed pages rather than swapping out or OOM if memory pressure happens. Without memory pressure, freed pages would be reused by userspace without another additional overhead(ex, page fault + allocation + zeroing). Jason Evans said: : Facebook has been using MAP_UNINITIALIZED : (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/18/308) in some of its applications for : several years, but there are operational costs to maintaining this : out-of-tree in our kernel and in jemalloc, and we are anxious to retire it : in favor of MADV_FREE. When we first enabled MAP_UNINITIALIZED it : increased throughput for much of our workload by ~5%, and although the : benefit has decreased using newer hardware and kernels, there is still : enough benefit that we cannot reasonably retire it without a replacement. : : Aside from Facebook operations, there are numerous broadly used : applications that would benefit from MADV_FREE. The ones that immediately : come to mind are redis, varnish, and MariaDB. I don't have much insight : into Android internals and development process, but I would hope to see : MADV_FREE support eventually end up there as well to benefit applications : linked with the integrated jemalloc. : : jemalloc will use MADV_FREE once it becomes available in the Linux kernel. : In fact, jemalloc already uses MADV_FREE or equivalent everywhere it's : available: *BSD, OS X, Windows, and Solaris -- every platform except Linux : (and AIX, but I'm not sure it even compiles on AIX). The lack of : MADV_FREE on Linux forced me down a long series of increasingly : sophisticated heuristics for madvise() volume reduction, and even so this : remains a common performance issue for people using jemalloc on Linux. : Please integrate MADV_FREE; many people will benefit substantially. How it works: When madvise syscall is called, VM clears dirty bit of ptes of the range. If memory pressure happens, VM checks dirty bit of page table and if it found still "clean", it means it's a "lazyfree pages" so VM could discard the page instead of swapping out. Once there was store operation for the page before VM peek a page to reclaim, dirty bit is set so VM can swap out the page instead of discarding. One thing we should notice is that basically, MADV_FREE relies on dirty bit in page table entry to decide whether VM allows to discard the page or not. IOW, if page table entry includes marked dirty bit, VM shouldn't discard the page. However, as a example, if swap-in by read fault happens, page table entry doesn't have dirty bit so MADV_FREE could discard the page wrongly. For avoiding the problem, MADV_FREE did more checks with PageDirty and PageSwapCache. It worked out because swapped-in page lives on swap cache and since it is evicted from the swap cache, the page has PG_dirty flag. So both page flags check effectively prevent wrong discarding by MADV_FREE. However, a problem in above logic is that swapped-in page has PG_dirty still after they are removed from swap cache so VM cannot consider the page as freeable any more even if madvise_free is called in future. Look at below example for detail. ptr = malloc(); memset(ptr); .. .. .. heavy memory pressure so all of pages are swapped out .. .. var = *ptr; -> a page swapped-in and could be removed from swapcache. Then, page table doesn't mark dirty bit and page descriptor includes PG_dirty .. .. madvise_free(ptr); -> It doesn't clear PG_dirty of the page. .. .. .. .. heavy memory pressure again. .. In this time, VM cannot discard the page because the page .. has *PG_dirty* To solve the problem, this patch clears PG_dirty if only the page is owned exclusively by current process when madvise is called because PG_dirty represents ptes's dirtiness in several processes so we could clear it only if we own it exclusively. Firstly, heavy users would be general allocators(ex, jemalloc, tcmalloc and hope glibc supports it) and jemalloc/tcmalloc already have supported the feature for other OS(ex, FreeBSD) barrios@blaptop:~/benchmark/ebizzy$ lscpu Architecture: x86_64 CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 12 On-line CPU(s) list: 0-11 Thread(s) per core: 1 Core(s) per socket: 1 Socket(s): 12 NUMA node(s): 1 Vendor ID: GenuineIntel CPU family: 6 Model: 2 Stepping: 3 CPU MHz: 3200.185 BogoMIPS: 6400.53 Virtualization: VT-x Hypervisor vendor: KVM Virtualization type: full L1d cache: 32K L1i cache: 32K L2 cache: 4096K NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-11 ebizzy benchmark(./ebizzy -S 10 -n 512) Higher avg is better. vanilla-jemalloc MADV_free-jemalloc 1 thread records: 10 records: 10 avg: 2961.90 avg: 12069.70 std: 71.96(2.43%) std: 186.68(1.55%) max: 3070.00 max: 12385.00 min: 2796.00 min: 11746.00 2 thread records: 10 records: 10 avg: 5020.00 avg: 17827.00 std: 264.87(5.28%) std: 358.52(2.01%) max: 5244.00 max: 18760.00 min: 4251.00 min: 17382.00 4 thread records: 10 records: 10 avg: 8988.80 avg: 27930.80 std: 1175.33(13.08%) std: 3317.33(11.88%) max: 9508.00 max: 30879.00 min: 5477.00 min: 21024.00 8 thread records: 10 records: 10 avg: 13036.50 avg: 33739.40 std: 170.67(1.31%) std: 5146.22(15.25%) max: 13371.00 max: 40572.00 min: 12785.00 min: 24088.00 16 thread records: 10 records: 10 avg: 11092.40 avg: 31424.20 std: 710.60(6.41%) std: 3763.89(11.98%) max: 12446.00 max: 36635.00 min: 9949.00 min: 25669.00 32 thread records: 10 records: 10 avg: 11067.00 avg: 34495.80 std: 971.06(8.77%) std: 2721.36(7.89%) max: 12010.00 max: 38598.00 min: 9002.00 min: 30636.00 In summary, MADV_FREE is about much faster than MADV_DONTNEED.

page-flags: define PG_locked behavior on compound pages
lock_page() must operate on the whole compound page. It doesn't make much sense to lock part of compound page. Change code to use head page's PG_locked, if tail page is passed. This patch also gets rid of custom helper functions -- __set_page_locked() and __clear_page_locked(). They are replaced with helpers generated by __SETPAGEFLAG/__CLEARPAGEFLAG. Tail pages to these helper would trigger VM_BUG_ON(). SLUB uses PG_locked as a bit spin locked. IIUC, tail pages should never appear there. VM_BUG_ON() is added to make sure that this assumption is correct. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix fs/cifs/file.c] Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

mm: memcontrol: hook up vmpressure to socket pressure
Let the networking stack know when a memcg is under reclaim pressure so that it can clamp its transmit windows accordingly. Whenever the reclaim efficiency of a cgroup's LRU lists drops low enough for a MEDIUM or HIGH vmpressure event to occur, assert a pressure state in the socket and tcp memory code that tells it to curb consumption growth from sockets associated with said control group. Traditionally, vmpressure reports for the entire subtree of a memcg under pressure, which drops useful information on the individual groups reclaimed. However, it's too late to change the userinterface, so add a second reporting mode that reports on the level of reclaim instead of at the level of pressure, and use that report for sockets. vmpressure events are naturally edge triggered, so for hysteresis assert socket pressure for a second to allow for subsequent vmpressure events to occur before letting the socket code return to normal. This will likely need finetuning for a wider variety of workloads, but for now stick to the vmpressure presets and keep hysteresis simple.

mm, vmscan: consider isolated pages in zone_reclaimable_pages
zone_reclaimable_pages counts how many pages are reclaimable in the
given zone. This currently includes all pages on file lrus and anon
lrus if there is an available swap storage. We do not consider
NR_ISOLATED_{ANON,FILE} counters though which is not correct because
these counters reflect temporarily isolated pages which are still
reclaimable because they either get back to their LRU or get freed
either by the page reclaim or page migration.
The number of these pages might be sufficiently high to confuse users of
zone_reclaimable_pages (e.g. mbind can migrate large ranges of memory
at once).

vmscan: do not force-scan file lru if its absolute size is small
We assume there is enough inactive page cache if the size of inactive file lru is greater than the size of active file lru, in which case we force-scan file lru ignoring anonymous pages. While this logic works fine when there are plenty of page cache pages, it fails if the size of file lru is small (several MB): in this case (lru_size >> prio) will be 0 for normal scan priorities, as a result, if inactive file lru happens to be larger than active file lru, anonymous pages of a cgroup will never get evicted unless the system experiences severe memory pressure, even if there are gigabytes of unused anonymous memory there, which is unfair in respect to other cgroups, whose workloads might be page cache oriented. This patch attempts to fix this by elaborating the "enough inactive page cache" check: it makes it not only check that inactive lru size > active lru size, but also that we will scan something from the cgroup at the current scan priority. If these conditions do not hold, we proceed to SCAN_FRACT as usual.

mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd
__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

mm, page_alloc: remove unnecessary parameter from zone_watermark_ok_safe
Overall, the intent of this series is to remove the zonelist cache which was introduced to avoid high overhead in the page allocator. Once this is done, it is necessary to reduce the cost of watermark checks. The series starts with minor micro-optimisations. Next it notes that GFP flags that affect watermark checks are abused. __GFP_WAIT historically identified callers that could not sleep and could access reserves. This was later abused to identify callers that simply prefer to avoid sleeping and have other options. A patch distinguishes between atomic callers, high-priority callers and those that simply wish to avoid sleep. The zonelist cache has been around for a long time but it is of dubious merit with a lot of complexity and some issues that are explained. The most important issue is that a failed THP allocation can cause a zone to be treated as "full". This potentially causes unnecessary stalls, reclaim activity or remote fallbacks. The issues could be fixed but it's not worth it. The series places a small number of other micro-optimisations on top before examining GFP flags watermarks. High-order watermarks enforcement can cause high-order allocations to fail even though pages are free. The watermark checks both protect high-order atomic allocations and make kswapd aware of high-order pages but there is a much better way that can be handled using migrate types. This series uses page grouping by mobility to reserve pageblocks for high-order allocations with the size of the reservation depending on demand. kswapd awareness is maintained by examining the free lists. By patch 12 in this series, there are no high-order watermark checks while preserving the properties that motivated the introduction of the watermark checks. This patch (of 10): No user of zone_watermark_ok_safe() specifies alloc_flags. This patch removes the unnecessary parameter.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"The cgroup core saw several significant updates this cycle:
- percpu_rwsem for threadgroup locking is reinstated. This was
temporarily dropped due to down_write latency issues. Oleg's
rework of percpu_rwsem which is scheduled to be merged in this
merge window resolves the issue.
- On the v2 hierarchy, when controllers are enabled and disabled, all
operations are atomic and can fail and revert cleanly. This allows
->can_attach() failure which is necessary for cpu RT slices.
- Tasks now stay associated with the original cgroups after exit
until released. This allows tracking resources held by zombies
(e.g. pids) and makes it easy to find out where zombies came from
on the v2 hierarchy. The pids controller was broken before these
changes as zombies escaped the limits; unfortunately, updating this
behavior required too many invasive changes and I don't think it's
a good idea to backport them, so the pids controller on 4.3, the
first version which included the pids controller, will stay broken
at least until I'm sure about the cgroup core changes.

vmscan: fix sane_reclaim helper for legacy memcg
The sane_reclaim() helper is supposed to return false for memcg reclaim if the legacy hierarchy is used, because the latter lacks dirty throttling mechanism, and so it did before it was accidentally broken by commit |

mm, vmscan: unlock page while waiting on writeback
This is merely a politeness: I've not found that shrink_page_list() leads to deadlock with the page it holds locked across wait_on_page_writeback(); but nevertheless, why hold others off by keeping the page locked there? And while we're at it: remove the mistaken "not " from the commentary on this Case 3 (and a distracting blank line from Case 2, if I may).

vmscan: fix increasing nr_isolated incurred by putback unevictable pages
reclaim_clean_pages_from_list() assumes that shrink_page_list() returns number of pages removed from the candidate list. But shrink_page_list() puts back mlocked pages without passing it to caller and without counting as nr_reclaimed. This increases nr_isolated. To fix this, this patch changes shrink_page_list() to pass unevictable pages back to caller. Caller will take care those pages. Minchan said: It fixes two issues. 1. With unevictable page, cma_alloc will be successful. Exactly speaking, cma_alloc of current kernel will fail due to unevictable pages. 2. fix leaking of NR_ISOLATED counter of vmstat With it, too_many_isolated works. Otherwise, it could make hang until the process get SIGKILL.

mm: vmscan: never isolate more pages than necessary
If transparent huge pages are enabled, we can isolate many more pages
than we actually need to scan, because we count both single and huge
pages equally in isolate_lru_pages().

memcg: export struct mem_cgroup
mem_cgroup structure is defined in mm/memcontrol.c currently which means that the code outside of this file has to use external API even for trivial access stuff. This patch exports mm_struct with its dependencies and makes some of the exported functions inlines. This even helps to reduce the code size a bit (make defconfig + CONFIG_MEMCG=y) text data bss dec hex filename 12355346 1823792 1089536 15268674 e8fb42 vmlinux.before 12354970 1823792 1089536 15268298 e8f9ca vmlinux.after This is not much (370B) but better than nothing.

mm: defer flush of writable TLB entries
If a PTE is unmapped and it's dirty then it was writable recently. Due to deferred TLB flushing, it's best to assume a writable TLB cache entry exists. With that assumption, the TLB must be flushed before any IO can start or the page is freed to avoid lost writes or data corruption. This patch defers flushing of potentially writable TLBs as long as possible.

mm: send one IPI per CPU to TLB flush all entries after unmapping pages
An IPI is sent to flush remote TLBs when a page is unmapped that was
potentially accesssed by other CPUs. There are many circumstances where
this happens but the obvious one is kswapd reclaiming pages belonging to a
running process as kswapd and the task are likely running on separate
CPUs.
On small machines, this is not a significant problem but as machine gets
larger with more cores and more memory, the cost of these IPIs can be
high. This patch uses a simple structure that tracks CPUs that
potentially have TLB entries for pages being unmapped. When the unmapping
is complete, the full TLB is flushed on the assumption that a refill cost
is lower than flushing individual entries.
Architectures wishing to do this must give the following guarantee.
If a clean page is unmapped and not immediately flushed, the
architecture must guarantee that a write to that linear address
from a CPU with a cached TLB entry will trap a page fault.
This is essentially what the kernel already depends on but the window is
much larger with this patch applied and is worth highlighting. The
architecture should consider whether the cost of the full TLB flush is
higher than sending an IPI to flush each individual entry. An additional
architecture helper called flush_tlb_local is required. It's a trivial
wrapper with some accounting in the x86 case.
The impact of this patch depends on the workload as measuring any benefit
requires both mapped pages co-located on the LRU and memory pressure. The
case with the biggest impact is multiple processes reading mapped pages
taken from the vm-scalability test suite. The test case uses NR_CPU
readers of mapped files that consume 10*RAM.

This is showing that the readers completed 24.40% faster with 29% less
system CPU time. From vmstats, it is known that the vanilla kernel was
interrupted roughly 900K times per second during the steady phase of the
test and the patched kernel was interrupts 180K times per second.
The impact is lower on a single socket machine.

It's still a noticeable improvement with vmstat showing interrupts went
from roughly 500K per second to 45K per second.
The patch will have no impact on workloads with no memory pressure or have
relatively few mapped pages. It will have an unpredictable impact on the
workload running on the CPU being flushed as it'll depend on how many TLB
entries need to be refilled and how long that takes. Worst case, the TLB
will be completely cleared of active entries when the target PFNs were not
resident at all.

mm: vmscan: disable memcg direct reclaim stalling if cgroup writeback support is in use
Because writeback wasn't cgroup aware before, the usual dirty
throttling mechanism in balance_dirty_pages() didn't work for
processes under memcg limit. The writeback path didn't know how much
memory is available or how fast the dirty pages are being written out
for a given memcg and balance_dirty_pages() didn't have any measure of
IO back pressure for the memcg.
To work around the issue, memcg implemented an ad-hoc dirty throttling
mechanism in the direct reclaim path by stalling on pages under
writeback which are encountered during direct reclaim scan. This is
rather ugly and crude - none of the configurability, fairness, or
bandwidth-proportional distribution of the normal path.
The previous patches implemented proper memcg aware dirty throttling
when cgroup writeback is in use making the ad-hoc mechanism
unnecessary. This patch disables direct reclaim stalling for such
case.
Note: I disabled the parts which seemed obvious and it behaves fine
while testing but my understanding of this code path is
rudimentary and it's quite possible that I got something wrong.
Please let me know if I got some wrong or more global_reclaim()
sites should be updated.
v2: The original patch removed the direct stalling mechanism which
breaks legacy hierarchies. Conditionalize instead of removing.

writeback: implement and use inode_congested()
In several places, bdi_congested() and its wrappers are used to
determine whether more IOs should be issued. With cgroup writeback
support, this question can't be answered solely based on the bdi
(backing_dev_info). It's dependent on whether the filesystem and bdi
support cgroup writeback and the blkcg the inode is associated with.
This patch implements inode_congested() and its wrappers which take
@inode and determines the congestion state considering cgroup
writeback. The new functions replace bdi_*congested() calls in places
where the query is about specific inode and task.
There are several filesystem users which also fit this criteria but
they should be updated when each filesystem implements cgroup
writeback support.
v2: Now that a given inode is associated with only one wb, congestion
state can be determined independent from the asking task. Drop
@task. Spotted by Vivek. Also, converted to take @inode instead
of @mapping and renamed to inode_congested().
