1fb08ac63b mm: rmap: make try_to_unmap() void function
Currently try_to_unmap() return bool value by checking page_mapcount(),
however this may return false positive since page_mapcount() doesn't check
all subpages of compound page.  The total_mapcount() could be used
instead, but its cost is higher since it traverses all subpages.

Actually the most callers of try_to_unmap() don't care about the return
value at all.  So just need check if page is still mapped by page_mapped()
when necessary.  And page_mapped() does bail out early when it finds
mapped subpage.

2d2b8d2b67 mm/vmscan.c: fix potential deadlock in reclaim_pages()
Theoretically without the protect from memalloc_noreclaim_save() and
memalloc_noreclaim_restore(), reclaim_pages() can go into the block
I/O layer recursively and deadlock.

Querying 'reclaim_pages' in our kernel crash databases didn't yield
any results. So the deadlock seems unlikely to happen. A possible
explanation is that the only user of reclaim_pages(), i.e.,
MADV_PAGEOUT, is usually called before memory pressure builds up,
e.g., on Android and Chrome OS. Under such a condition, allocations in
the block I/O layer can be fulfilled without diverting to direct
reclaim and therefore the recursion is avoided.

c49c2c47da mm/page_alloc: limit the number of pages on PCP lists when reclaim is active
When kswapd is active then direct reclaim is potentially active.  In
either case, it is possible that a zone would be balanced if pages were
not trapped on PCP lists.  Instead of draining remote pages, simply limit
the size of the PCP lists while kswapd is active.

9ef56b78b8 mm: vmscan: remove noinline_for_stack
The noinline_for_stack is introduced by commit 666356297e ("vmscan: set
up pagevec as late as possible in shrink_inactive_list()"), its purpose is
to delay the allocation of pagevec as late as possible to save stack
memory.  But the commit 2bcf887963 ("mm: take pagevecs off reclaim
stack") replace pagevecs by lists of pages_to_free.  So we do not need
noinline_for_stack, just remove it (let the compiler decide whether to
inline).

18bb473e50 mm: vmscan: shrink deferred objects proportional to priority
The number of deferred objects might get windup to an absurd number, and
it results in clamp of slab objects.  It is undesirable for sustaining
workingset.

So shrink deferred objects proportional to priority and cap nr_deferred
to twice of cache items.

The idea is borrowed from Dave Chinner's patch:
  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-xfs/20191031234618.15403-13-david@fromorbit.com/

Tested with kernel build and vfs metadata heavy workload in our
production environment, no regression is spotted so far.

476b30a094 mm: vmscan: don't need allocate shrinker->nr_deferred for memcg aware shrinkers
Now nr_deferred is available on per memcg level for memcg aware
shrinkers, so don't need allocate shrinker->nr_deferred for such

The prealloc_memcg_shrinker() would return -ENOSYS if !CONFIG_MEMCG or
memcg is disabled by kernel command line, then shrinker's
SHRINKER_MEMCG_AWARE flag would be cleared.  This makes the
implementation of this patch simpler.

3c6f17e6c5 mm: vmscan: add per memcg shrinker nr_deferred
Currently the number of deferred objects are per shrinker, but some
slabs, for example, vfs inode/dentry cache are per memcg, this would
result in poor isolation among memcgs.

The deferred objects typically are generated by __GFP_NOFS allocations,
one memcg with excessive __GFP_NOFS allocations may blow up deferred
objects, then other innocent memcgs may suffer from over shrink,
excessive reclaim latency, etc.

For example, two workloads run in memcgA and memcgB respectively,
workload in B is vfs heavy workload.  Workload in A generates excessive
deferred objects, then B's vfs cache might be hit heavily (drop half of
caches) by B's limit reclaim or global reclaim.

We observed this hit in our production environment which was running vfs
heavy workload shown as the below tracing log:

  <...>-409454 [016] .... 28286961.747146: mm_shrink_slab_start: super_cache_scan+0x0/0x1a0 ffff9a83046f3458:
  nid: 1 objects to shrink 3641681686040 gfp_flags GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_ZERO pgs_scanned 1 lru_pgs 15721
  cache items 246404277 delta 31345 total_scan 123202138
  <...>-409454 [022] .... 28287105.928018: mm_shrink_slab_end: super_cache_scan+0x0/0x1a0 ffff9a83046f3458:
  nid: 1 unused scan count 3641681686040 new scan count 3641798379189 total_scan 602
  last shrinker return val 123186855

The vfs cache and page cache ratio was 10:1 on this machine, and half of
caches were dropped.  This also resulted in significant amount of page
caches were dropped due to inodes eviction.

Make nr_deferred per memcg for memcg aware shrinkers would solve the
unfairness and bring better isolation.

The following patch will add nr_deferred to parent memcg when memcg
offline.  To preserve nr_deferred when reparenting memcgs to root, root
memcg needs shrinker_info allocated too.

When memcg is not enabled (!CONFIG_MEMCG or memcg disabled), the
shrinker's nr_deferred would be used.  And non memcg aware shrinkers use
shrinker's nr_deferred all the time.

Currently registered shrinker is indicated by non-NULL
shrinker->nr_deferred.  This approach is fine with nr_deferred at the
shrinker level, but the following patches will move MEMCG_AWARE
shrinkers' nr_deferred to memcg level, so their shrinker->nr_deferred

unregistering correctly.

Remove SHRINKER_REGISTERING since we could check if shrinker is
registered successfully by the new flag.

d27cf2aa0d mm: vmscan: use shrinker_rwsem to protect shrinker_maps allocation
Since memcg_shrinker_map_size just can be changed under holding
shrinker_rwsem exclusively, the read side can be protected by holding read
lock, so it sounds superfluous to have a dedicated mutex.

Kirill Tkhai suggested use write lock since:

  * We want the assignment to shrinker_maps is visible for shrink_slab_memcg().
  * The rcu_dereference_protected() dereferrencing in shrink_slab_memcg(), but
    in case of we use READ lock in alloc_shrinker_maps(), the dereferrencing
    is not actually protected.
  * READ lock makes alloc_shrinker_info() racy against memory allocation fail.
    alloc_shrinker_info()->free_shrinker_info() may free memory right after
    shrink_slab_memcg() dereferenced it. You may say
    shrink_slab_memcg()->mem_cgroup_online() protects us from it? Yes, sure,
    but this is not the thing we want to remember in the future, since this
    spreads modularity.

And a test with heavy paging workload didn't show write lock makes things worse.

2bfd36374e mm: vmscan: consolidate shrinker_maps handling code
The shrinker map management is not purely memcg specific, it is at the
intersection between memory cgroup and shrinkers.  It's allocation and
assignment of a structure, and the only memcg bit is the map is being
stored in a memcg structure.  So move the shrinker_maps handling code
into vmscan.c for tighter integration with shrinker code, and remove the
"memcg_" prefix.  There is no functional change.

8efb4b596d mm: vmscan: use nid from shrink_control for tracepoint
Patch series "Make shrinker's nr_deferred memcg aware", v10.

Recently huge amount one-off slab drop was seen on some vfs metadata
heavy workloads, it turned out there were huge amount accumulated
nr_deferred objects seen by the shrinker.

On our production machine, I saw absurd number of nr_deferred shown as
the below tracing result:

  <...>-48776 [032] .... 27970562.458916: mm_shrink_slab_start:
  super_cache_scan+0x0/0x1a0 ffff9a83046f3458: nid: 0 objects to shrink
  2531805877005 gfp_flags GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE pgs_scanned 32 lru_pgs
  9300 cache items 1667 delta 11 total_scan 833

There are 2.5 trillion deferred objects on one node, assuming all of them
are dentry (192 bytes per object), so the total size of deferred on one
node is ~480TB.  It is definitely ridiculous.

I managed to reproduce this problem with kernel build workload plus
negative dentry generator.

First step, run the below kernel build test script:

NR_CPUS=`cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -e processor | wc -l`

cd /root/Buildarea/linux-stable

for i in `seq 1500`; do
        cgcreate -g memory:kern_build
        echo 4G > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/kern_build/memory.limit_in_bytes

        echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
        cgexec -g memory:kern_build make clean > /dev/null 2>&1
        cgexec -g memory:kern_build make -j$NR_CPUS > /dev/null 2>&1

        cgdelete -g memory:kern_build
done

Then run the below negative dentry generator script:

NR_CPUS=`cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -e processor | wc -l`

mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/tasks

for i in `seq $NR_CPUS`; do
        while true; do
                FILE=`head /dev/urandom | tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 | head -c 64`
                cat $FILE 2>/dev/null
        done &
done

Then kswapd will shrink half of dentry cache in just one loop as the below
tracing result showed:

	kswapd0-475   [028] .... 305968.252561: mm_shrink_slab_start: super_cache_scan+0x0/0x190 0000000024acf00c: nid: 0 objects to shrink 4994376020 gfp_flags GFP_KERNEL cache items 93689873 delta 45746 total_scan 46844936 priority 12
	kswapd0-475   [021] .... 306013.099399: mm_shrink_slab_end: super_cache_scan+0x0/0x190 0000000024acf00c: nid: 0 unused scan count 4994376020 new scan count 4947576838 total_scan 8 last shrinker return val 46844928

There were huge number of deferred objects before the shrinker was called,
the behavior does match the code but it might be not desirable from the
user's stand of point.

The excessive amount of nr_deferred might be accumulated due to various
reasons, for example:

* GFP_NOFS allocation

* Significant times of small amount scan (< scan_batch, 1024 for vfs
  metadata)

However the LRUs of slabs are per memcg (memcg-aware shrinkers) but the
deferred objects is per shrinker, this may have some bad effects:

* Poor isolation among memcgs.  Some memcgs which happen to have
  frequent limit reclaim may get nr_deferred accumulated to a huge number,
  then other innocent memcgs may take the fall.  In our case the main
  workload was hit.

* Unbounded deferred objects.  There is no cap for deferred objects, it
  can outgrow ridiculously as the tracing result showed.

* Easy to get out of control.  Although shrinkers take into account
  deferred objects, but it can go out of control easily.  One
  misconfigured memcg could incur absurd amount of deferred objects in a
  period of time.

* Sort of reclaim problems, i.e.  over reclaim, long reclaim latency,
  etc.  There may be hundred GB slab caches for vfe metadata heavy
  workload, shrink half of them may take minutes.  We observed latency
  spike due to the prolonged reclaim.

These issues also have been discussed in
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200916185823.5347-1-shy828301@gmail.com/.
The patchset is the outcome of that discussion.

So this patchset makes nr_deferred per-memcg to tackle the problem.  It
does:

* Have memcg_shrinker_deferred per memcg per node, just like what
  shrinker_map does.  Instead it is an atomic_long_t array, each element
  represent one shrinker even though the shrinker is not memcg aware, this
  simplifies the implementation.  For memcg aware shrinkers, the deferred
  objects are just accumulated to its own memcg.  The shrinkers just see
  nr_deferred from its own memcg.  Non memcg aware shrinkers still use
  global nr_deferred from struct shrinker.

* Once the memcg is offlined, its nr_deferred will be reparented to its
  parent along with LRUs.

* The root memcg has memcg_shrinker_deferred array too.  It simplifies
  the handling of reparenting to root memcg.

* Cap nr_deferred to 2x of the length of lru.  The idea is borrowed from
  Dave Chinner's series
  (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-xfs/20191031234618.15403-1-david@fromorbit.com/)

The downside is each memcg has to allocate extra memory to store the
nr_deferred array.  On our production environment, there are typically
around 40 shrinkers, so each memcg needs ~320 bytes.  10K memcgs would
need ~3.2MB memory.  It seems fine.

We have been running the patched kernel on some hosts of our fleet (test
and production) for months, it works very well.  The monitor data shows
the working set is sustained as expected.

This patch (of 13):

The tracepoint's nid should show what node the shrink happens on, the
start tracepoint uses nid from shrinkctl, but the nid might be set to 0
before end tracepoint if the shrinker is not NUMA aware, so the tracing
log may show the shrink happens on one node but end up on the other node.
It seems confusing.  And the following patch will remove using nid
directly in do_shrink_slab(), this patch also helps cleanup the code.

b6676de8d7 mm/vmscan: move RECLAIM* bits to uapi header

since they are defined in vmscan.c.  Move them to a uapi header to make it

This should have no functional impact.

ae37c7ff79 mm: make alloc_contig_range handle in-use hugetlb pages
alloc_contig_range() will fail if it finds a HugeTLB page within the
range, without a chance to handle them.  Since HugeTLB pages can be
migrated as any LRU or Movable page, it does not make sense to bail out
without trying.  Enable the interface to recognize in-use HugeTLB pages so
we can migrate them, and have much better chances to succeed the call.

519983645a mm/vmscan: restore zone_reclaim_mode ABI
I went to go add a new RECLAIM_* mode for the zone_reclaim_mode sysctl.
Like a good kernel developer, I also went to go update the
documentation.  I noticed that the bits in the documentation didn't
match the bits in the #defines.

The VM never explicitly checks the RECLAIM_ZONE bit.  The bit is,
however implicitly checked when checking 'node_reclaim_mode==0'.  The
RECLAIM_ZONE #define was removed in a cleanup.  That, by itself is fine.

But, when the bit was removed (bit 0) the _other_ bit locations also got
changed.  That's not OK because the bit values are documented to mean
one specific thing.  Users surely do not expect the meaning to change
from kernel to kernel.

The end result is that if someone had a script that did:

	sysctl vm.zone_reclaim_mode=1

it would have gone from enabling node reclaim for clean unmapped pages
to writing out pages during node reclaim after the commit in question.
That's not great.

Put the bits back the way they were and add a comment so something like
this is a bit harder to do again.  Update the documentation to make it
clear that the first bit is ignored.

8756017962 mm: add __clear_page_lru_flags() to replace page_off_lru()
Similar to page_off_lru(), the new function does non-atomic clearing
of PageLRU() in addition to PageActive() and PageUnevictable(), on a
page that has no references left.

If PageActive() and PageUnevictable() are both set, refuse to clear
either and leave them to bad_page(). This is a behavior change that
is meant to help debug.

make sure that existing PageActive() or PageUnevictable() remains

reordering fixes them.

This patch may have left page_off_lru() seemingly odd, and we'll take

42895ea73b mm/vmscan.c: use add_page_to_lru_list()
Patch series "mm: lru related cleanups", v2.

The cleanups are intended to reduce the verbosity in lru list operations
and make them less error-prone.  A typical example would be how the
patches change __activate_page():

 static void __activate_page(struct page *page, struct lruvec *lruvec)
 {
 	if (!PageActive(page) && !PageUnevictable(page)) {
-		int lru = page_lru_base_type(page);
 		int nr_pages = thp_nr_pages(page);

-		del_page_from_lru_list(page, lruvec, lru);
+		del_page_from_lru_list(page, lruvec);
 		SetPageActive(page);
-		lru += LRU_ACTIVE;
-		add_page_to_lru_list(page, lruvec, lru);
+		add_page_to_lru_list(page, lruvec);
 		trace_mm_lru_activate(page);

There are a few more places like __activate_page() and they are
unnecessarily repetitive in terms of figuring out which list a page should
be added onto or deleted from.  And with the duplicated code removed, they
are easier to read, IMO.

Patch 1 to 5 basically cover the above.  Patch 6 and 7 make code more
robust by improving bug reporting.  Patch 8, 9 and 10 take care of some
dangling helpers left in header files.

This patch (of 10):

There is add_page_to_lru_list(), and move_pages_to_lru() should reuse it,
not duplicate it.

feb889fb40 mm: don't put pinned pages into the swap cache
So technically there is nothing wrong with adding a pinned page to the
swap cache, but the pinning obviously means that the page can't actually
be free'd right now anyway, so it's a bit pointless.

However, the real problem is not with it being a bit pointless: the real
issue is that after we've added it to the swap cache, we'll try to unmap
the page.  That will succeed, because the code in mm/rmap.c doesn't know
or care about pinned pages.

Even the unmapping isn't fatal per se, since the page will stay around
in memory due to the pinning, and we do hold the connection to it using
the swap cache.  But when we then touch it next and take a page fault,
the logic in do_swap_page() will map it back into the process as a
possibly read-only page, and we'll then break the page association on
the next COW fault.

Honestly, this issue could have been fixed in any of those other places:
(a) we could refuse to unmap a pinned page (which makes conceptual
sense), or (b) we could make sure to re-map a pinned page writably in
do_swap_page(), or (c) we could just make do_wp_page() not COW the
pinned page (which was what we historically did before that "mm:
do_wp_page() simplification" commit).

But while all of them are equally valid models for breaking this chain,
not putting pinned pages into the swap cache in the first place is the
simplest one by far.

It's also the safest one: the reason why do_wp_page() was changed in the
first place was that getting the "can I re-use this page" wrong is so
fraught with errors.  If you do it wrong, you end up with an incorrectly
shared page.

As a result, using "page_maybe_dma_pinned()" in either do_wp_page() or
do_swap_page() would be a serious bug since it is only a (very good)
heuristic.  Re-using the page requires a hard black-and-white rule with
no room for ambiguity.

In contrast, saying "this page is very likely dma pinned, so let's not
add it to the swap cache and try to unmap it" is an obviously safe thing
to do, and if the heuristic might very rarely be a false positive, no
harm is done.

15b4473617 mm/lru: revise the comments of lru_lock
Since we changed the pgdat->lru_lock to lruvec->lru_lock, it's time to fix
the incorrect comments in code.  Also fixed some zone->lru_lock comment
error from ancient time.  etc.

I struggled to understand the comment above move_pages_to_lru() (surely
it never calls page_referenced()), and eventually realized that most of
it had got separated from shrink_active_list(): move that comment back.

2a5e4e340b mm/lru: introduce relock_page_lruvec()
Add relock_page_lruvec() to replace repeated same code, no functional
change.

When testing for relock we can avoid the need for RCU locking if we simply
compare the page pgdat and memcg pointers versus those that the lruvec is
holding.  By doing this we can avoid the extra pointer walks and accesses
of the memory cgroup.

In addition we can avoid the checks entirely if lruvec is currently NULL.

6168d0da2b mm/lru: replace pgdat lru_lock with lruvec lock
This patch moves per node lru_lock into lruvec, thus bring a lru_lock for
each of memcg per node.  So on a large machine, each of memcg don't have
to suffer from per node pgdat->lru_lock competition.  They could go fast
with their self lru_lock.

After move memcg charge before lru inserting, page isolation could
serialize page's memcg, then per memcg lruvec lock is stable and could
replace per node lru lock.

In isolate_migratepages_block(), compact_unlock_should_abort and
lock_page_lruvec_irqsave are open coded to work with compact_control.
Also add a debug func in locking which may give some clues if there are
sth out of hands.

Daniel Jordan's testing show 62% improvement on modified readtwice case on
his 2P * 10 core * 2 HT broadwell box.

9df4131439 mm/compaction: do page isolation first in compaction
Currently, compaction would get the lru_lock and then do page isolation
which works fine with pgdat->lru_lock, since any page isoltion would
compete for the lru_lock.  If we want to change to memcg lru_lock, we have
to isolate the page before getting lru_lock, thus isoltion would block
page's memcg change which relay on page isoltion too.  Then we could
safely use per memcg lru_lock later.

The new page isolation use previous introduced TestClearPageLRU() + pgdat
lru locking which will be changed to memcg lru lock later.

Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> fixed following bugs in this patch's early
version:

Fix lots of crashes under compaction load: isolate_migratepages_block()
must clean up appropriately when rejecting a page, setting PageLRU again
if it had been cleared; and a put_page() after get_page_unless_zero()
cannot safely be done while holding locked_lruvec - it may turn out to be
the final put_page(), which will take an lruvec lock when PageLRU.

And move __isolate_lru_page_prepare back after get_page_unless_zero to
make trylock_page() safe: trylock_page() is not safe to use at this time:
its setting PG_locked can race with the page being freed or allocated
("Bad page"), and can also erase flags being set by one of those "sole
owners" of a freshly allocated page who use non-atomic __SetPageFlag().

d25b5bd8a8 mm/lru: introduce TestClearPageLRU()
Currently lru_lock still guards both lru list and page's lru bit, that's
ok.  but if we want to use specific lruvec lock on the page, we need to
pin down the page's lruvec/memcg during locking.  Just taking lruvec lock
first may be undermined by the page's memcg charge/migration.  To fix this
problem, we will clear the lru bit out of locking and use it as pin down
action to block the page isolation in memcg changing.

So now a standard steps of page isolation is following:
	1, get_page(); 	       #pin the page avoid to be free
	2, TestClearPageLRU(); #block other isolation like memcg change
	3, spin_lock on lru_lock; #serialize lru list access
	4, delete page from lru list;

This patch start with the first part: TestClearPageLRU, which combines
PageLRU check and ClearPageLRU into a macro func TestClearPageLRU.  This
function will be used as page isolation precondition to prevent other
isolations some where else.  Then there are may !PageLRU page on lru list,
need to remove BUG() checking accordingly.

There 2 rules for lru bit now:
1, the lru bit still indicate if a page on lru list, just in some
   temporary moment(isolating), the page may have no lru bit when
   it's on lru list.  but the page still must be on lru list when the
   lru bit set.
2, have to remove lru bit before delete it from lru list.

As Andrew Morton mentioned this change would dirty cacheline for a page
which isn't on the LRU.  But the loss would be acceptable in Rong Chen

afca9157fd mm/vmscan: remove lruvec reget in move_pages_to_lru
Isolated page shouldn't be recharged by memcg since the memcg migration
isn't possible at the time.  All pages were isolated from the same lruvec
(and isolation inhibits memcg migration).  So remove unnecessary
regetting.

The SetPageLRU needs to be kept before put_page_testzero for list
integrity, otherwise:

  #0 move_pages_to_lru             #1 release_pages
  if !put_page_testzero
     			           if (put_page_testzero())
     			              !PageLRU //skip lru_lock
     SetPageLRU()
     list_add(&page->lru,)
                                         list_add(&page->lru,)

2b47a24cee mm/vmscan: drop unneeded assignment in kswapd()
The refactoring to kswapd() in commit e716f2eb24 ("mm, vmscan: prevent
kswapd sleeping prematurely due to mismatched classzone_idx") turned an
assignment to reclaim_order into a dead store, as in all further paths,
reclaim_order will be assigned again before it is used.

make clang-analyzer on x86_64 tinyconfig caught my attention with:

  mm/vmscan.c: warning: Although the value stored to 'reclaim_order' is used in the enclosing expression, the value is never actually read from 'reclaim_order' [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores]

Compilers will detect this unneeded assignment and optimize this anyway.
So, the resulting binary is identical before and after this change.

Simplify the code and remove unneeded assignment to make clang-analyzer
happy.

No functional change. No change in binary code.

013339df11 mm/rmap: always do TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS
Since commit 369ea8242c ("mm/rmap: update to new mmu_notifier semantic
v2"), the code to check the secondary MMU's page table access bit is
broken for !(TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS) because the page is unmapped from the
secondary MMU's page table before the check.  More specifically for those
secondary MMUs which unmap the memory in
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() like kvm.

However memory reclaim is the only user of !(TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS) or the
absence of TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS and it explicitly performs the page table
access check before trying to unmap the page.  So, at worst the reclaim
will miss accesses in a very short window if we remove page table access
check in unmapping code.

There is an unintented consequence of !(TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS) for the memcg
reclaim.  From memcg reclaim the page_referenced() only account the
accesses from the processes which are in the same memcg of the target page
but the unmapping code is considering accesses from all the processes, so,
decreasing the effectiveness of memcg reclaim.

The simplest solution is to always assume TTU_IGNORE_ACCESS in unmapping
code.

Previously the negated unsigned long would be cast back to signed long
which would have the correct negative value.  After commit 730ec8c01a
("mm/vmscan.c: change prototype for shrink_page_list"), the large
unsigned int converts to a large positive signed long.

Symptoms include CMA allocations hanging forever holding the cma_mutex
due to alloc_contig_range->...->isolate_migratepages_block waiting
forever in "while (unlikely(too_many_isolated(pgdat)))".

069c411de4 mm/vmscan: fix infinite loop in drop_slab_node
We have observed that drop_caches can take a considerable amount of
time (<put data here>).  Especially when there are many memcgs involved
because they are adding an additional overhead.

It is quite unfortunate that the operation cannot be interrupted by a
signal currently.  Add a check for fatal signals into the main loop so
that userspace can control early bailout.

There are two reasons:

1. We have too many memcgs, even though one object freed in one memcg,
   the sum of object is bigger than 10.

2. We spend a lot of time in traverse memcg once.  So, the memcg who
   traversed at the first have been freed many objects.  Traverse memcg
   next time, the freed count bigger than 10 again.

We can get the following info through 'ps':

  root:~# ps -aux | grep drop
  root  357956 ... R    Aug25 21119854:55 echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

8d8869ca5d mm: fix check_move_unevictable_pages() on THP
check_move_unevictable_pages() is used in making unevictable shmem pages
evictable: by shmem_unlock_mapping(), drm_gem_check_release_pagevec() and
i915/gem check_release_pagevec().  Those may pass down subpages of a huge
page, when /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled is "force".

That does not crash or warn at present, but the accounting of vmstats
unevictable_pgs_scanned and unevictable_pgs_rescued is inconsistent:
scanned being incremented on each subpage, rescued only on the head (since
tails already appear evictable once the head has been updated).

5.8 commit 5d91f31faf ("mm: swap: fix vmstats for huge page") has
established that vm_events in general (and unevictable_pgs_rescued in
particular) should count every subpage: so follow that precedent here.

Do this in such a way that if mem_cgroup_page_lruvec() is made stricter
(to check page->mem_cgroup is always set), no problem: skip the tails
before calling it, and add thp_nr_pages() to vmstats on the head.

e3336cab25 mm: memcg: fix memcg reclaim soft lockup
We've met softlockup with "CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y", when the target memcg
doesn't have any reclaimable memory.

It can be easily reproduced as below:

  watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 111s![memcg_test:2204]

It only happens on our 1-vcpu instances, because there's no chance for
oom reaper to run to reclaim the to-be-killed process.

Add a cond_resched() at the upper shrink_node_memcgs() to solve this
issue, this will mean that we will get a scheduling point for each memcg
in the reclaimed hierarchy without any dependency on the reclaimable
memory in that memcg thus making it more predictable.

b518154e59 mm/vmscan: protect the workingset on anonymous LRU
In current implementation, newly created or swap-in anonymous page is
started on active list.  Growing active list results in rebalancing
active/inactive list so old pages on active list are demoted to inactive
list.  Hence, the page on active list isn't protected at all.

Following is an example of this situation.

Assume that 50 hot pages on active list.  Numbers denote the number of
pages on active/inactive list (active | inactive).

1. 50 hot pages on active list
50(h) | 0

2. workload: 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(uo) | 50(h)

3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(uo) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(h)

This patch tries to fix this issue.  Like as file LRU, newly created or
swap-in anonymous pages will be inserted to the inactive list.  They are
promoted to active list if enough reference happens.  This simple
modification changes the above example as following.

1. 50 hot pages on active list
50(h) | 0

2. workload: 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo)

3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(uo)

As you can see, hot pages on active list would be protected.

Note that, this implementation has a drawback that the page cannot be
promoted and will be swapped-out if re-access interval is greater than the
size of inactive list but less than the size of total(active+inactive).
To solve this potential issue, following patch will apply workingset
detection similar to the one that's already applied to file LRU.

ccc5dc6734 mm/vmscan: make active/inactive ratio as 1:1 for anon lru
Patch series "workingset protection/detection on the anonymous LRU list", v7.

* PROBLEM
In current implementation, newly created or swap-in anonymous page is
started on the active list.  Growing the active list results in
rebalancing active/inactive list so old pages on the active list are
demoted to the inactive list.  Hence, hot page on the active list isn't
protected at all.

Following is an example of this situation.

Assume that 50 hot pages on active list and system can contain total 100
pages.  Numbers denote the number of pages on active/inactive list (active
| inactive).  (h) stands for hot pages and (uo) stands for used-once
pages.

1. 50 hot pages on active list
50(h) | 0

2. workload: 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(uo) | 50(h)

3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(uo) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(h)

As we can see, hot pages are swapped-out and it would cause swap-in later.

* SOLUTION
Since this is what we want to avoid, this patchset implements workingset
protection.  Like as the file LRU list, newly created or swap-in anonymous
page is started on the inactive list.  Also, like as the file LRU list, if
enough reference happens, the page will be promoted.  This simple
modification changes the above example as following.

1. 50 hot pages on active list
50(h) | 0

2. workload: 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo)

3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(uo)

hot pages remains in the active list. :)

* EXPERIMENT
I tested this scenario on my test bed and confirmed that this problem
happens on current implementation. I also checked that it is fixed by
this patchset.

* SUBJECT
workingset detection

* PROBLEM
Later part of the patchset implements the workingset detection for the
anonymous LRU list.  There is a corner case that workingset protection
could cause thrashing.  If we can avoid thrashing by workingset detection,
we can get the better performance.

Following is an example of thrashing due to the workingset protection.

1. 50 hot pages on active list
50(h) | 0

2. workload: 50 newly created (will be hot) pages
50(h) | 50(wh)

3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(wh)

4. workload: 50 (will be hot) pages
50(h) | 50(wh), swap-in 50(wh)

5. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages
50(h) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(wh)

6. repeat 4, 5

Without workingset detection, this kind of workload cannot be promoted and
thrashing happens forever.

* SOLUTION
Therefore, this patchset implements workingset detection.  All the
infrastructure for workingset detecion is already implemented, so there is
not much work to do.  First, extend workingset detection code to deal with
the anonymous LRU list.  Then, make swap cache handles the exceptional
value for the shadow entry.  Lastly, install/retrieve the shadow value
into/from the swap cache and check the refault distance.

* EXPERIMENT
I made a test program to imitates above scenario and confirmed that
problem exists.  Then, I checked that this patchset fixes it.

My test setup is a virtual machine with 8 cpus and 6100MB memory.  But,
the amount of the memory that the test program can use is about 280 MB.
This is because the system uses large ram-backed swap and large ramdisk to
capture the trace.

Test scenario is like as below.

1. allocate cold memory (512MB)
2. allocate hot-1 memory (96MB)
3. activate hot-1 memory (96MB)
4. allocate another hot-2 memory (96MB)
5. access cold memory (128MB)
6. access hot-2 memory (96MB)
7. repeat 5, 6

Since hot-1 memory (96MB) is on the active list, the inactive list can
contains roughly 190MB pages.  hot-2 memory's re-access interval (96+128
MB) is more 190MB, so it cannot be promoted without workingset detection
and swap-in/out happens repeatedly.  With this patchset, workingset
detection works and promotion happens.  Therefore, swap-in/out occurs
less.

Here is the result. (average of 5 runs)

type swap-in swap-out
base 863240 989945
patch 681565 809273

As we can see, patched kernel do less swap-in/out.

* OVERALL TEST (ebizzy using modified random function)
ebizzy is the test program that main thread allocates lots of memory and
child threads access them randomly during the given times.  Swap-in will
happen if allocated memory is larger than the system memory.

The random function that represents the zipf distribution is used to make
hot/cold memory.  Hot/cold ratio is controlled by the parameter.  If the
parameter is high, hot memory is accessed much larger than cold one.  If
the parameter is low, the number of access on each memory would be
similar.  I uses various parameters in order to show the effect of
patchset on various hot/cold ratio workload.

My test setup is a virtual machine with 8 cpus, 1024 MB memory and 5120 MB
ram swap.

Result format is as following.

param: 1-1024-0.1
- 1 (number of thread)
- 1024 (allocated memory size, MB)
- 0.1 (zipf distribution alpha,
0.1 works like as roughly uniform random,
1.3 works like as small portion of memory is hot and the others are cold)

pswpin: smaller is better
std: standard deviation
improvement: negative is better

As we can see, all the cases show improvement.  Especially, test case with
zipf distribution 1.3 show more improvements.  It means that if there is a
hot/cold tendency in anon pages, this patchset works better.

This patch (of 6):

Current implementation of LRU management for anonymous page has some
problems.  Most important one is that it doesn't protect the workingset,
that is, pages on the active LRU list.  Although, this problem will be
fixed in the following patchset, the preparation is required and this
patch does it.

What following patch does is to implement workingset protection.  After
the following patchset, newly created or swap-in pages will start their
lifetime on the inactive list.  If inactive list is too small, there is
not enough chance to be referenced and the page cannot become the
workingset.

In order to provide the newly anonymous or swap-in pages enough chance to
be referenced again, this patch makes active/inactive LRU ratio as 1:1.

This is just a temporary measure.  Later patch in the series introduces
workingset detection for anonymous LRU that will be used to better decide
if pages should start on the active and inactive list.  Afterwards this
patch is effectively reverted.

912c05720f mm: vmscan: consistent update to pgrefill
The vmstat pgrefill is useful together with pgscan and pgsteal stats to
measure the reclaim efficiency.  However vmstat's pgrefill is not updated
consistently at system level.  It gets updated for both global and memcg
reclaim however pgscan and pgsteal are updated for only global reclaim.
So, update pgrefill only for global reclaim.  If someone is interested in
the stats representing both system level as well as memcg level reclaim,
then consult the root memcg's memory.stat instead of /proc/vmstat.

0a18e60788 mm: remove vm_total_pages
The global variable "vm_total_pages" is a relic from older days.  There is
only a single user that reads the variable - build_all_zonelists() - and
the first thing it does is update it.

Use a local variable in build_all_zonelists() instead and remove the
global variable.

e22c6ed90a mm: memcontrol: don't count limit-setting reclaim as memory pressure
When an outside process lowers one of the memory limits of a cgroup (or
uses the force_empty knob in cgroup1), direct reclaim is performed in the
context of the write(), in order to directly enforce the new limit and
have it being met by the time the write() returns.

Currently, this reclaim activity is accounted as memory pressure in the
cgroup that the writer(!) belongs to.  This is unexpected.  It
specifically causes problems for senpai
(https://github.com/facebookincubator/senpai), which is an agent that
routinely adjusts the memory limits and performs associated reclaim work
in tens or even hundreds of cgroups running on the host.  The cgroup that
senpai is running in itself will report elevated levels of memory
pressure, even though it itself is under no memory shortage or any sort of
distress.

Move the psi annotation from the central cgroup reclaim function to
callsites in the allocation context, and thereby no longer count any
limit-setting reclaim as memory pressure.  If the newly set limit causes
the workload inside the cgroup into direct reclaim, that of course will
continue to count as memory pressure.

45c7f7e1ef mm, memcg: decouple e{low,min} state mutations from protection checks
mem_cgroup_protected currently is both used to set effective low and min
and return a mem_cgroup_protection based on the result.  As a user, this
can be a little unexpected: it appears to be a simple predicate function,
if not for the big warning in the comment above about the order in which
it must be executed.

This change makes it so that we separate the state mutations from the
actual protection checks, which makes it more obvious where we need to be
careful mutating internal state, and where we are simply checking and
don't need to worry about that.

22f7496f0b mm, memcg: avoid stale protection values when cgroup is above protection
Patch series "mm, memcg: memory.{low,min} reclaim fix & cleanup", v4.

This series contains a fix for a edge case in my earlier protection
calculation patches, and a patch to make the area overall a little more
robust to hopefully help avoid this in future.

This patch (of 2):

A cgroup can have both memory protection and a memory limit to isolate it
from its siblings in both directions - for example, to prevent it from
being shrunk below 2G under high pressure from outside, but also from
growing beyond 4G under low pressure.

Commit 9783aa9917 ("mm, memcg: proportional memory.{low,min} reclaim")
implemented proportional scan pressure so that multiple siblings in excess
of their protection settings don't get reclaimed equally but instead in
accordance to their unprotected portion.

During limit reclaim, this proportionality shouldn't apply of course:
there is no competition, all pressure is from within the cgroup and should
be applied as such.  Reclaim should operate at full efficiency.

However, mem_cgroup_protected() never expected anybody to look at the
effective protection values when it indicated that the cgroup is above its
protection.  As a result, a query during limit reclaim may return stale
protection values that were calculated by a previous reclaim cycle in
which the cgroup did have siblings.

When this happens, reclaim is unnecessarily hesitant and potentially slow
to meet the desired limit.  In theory this could lead to premature OOM
kills, although it's not obvious this has occurred in practice.

Workaround the problem by special casing reclaim roots in
mem_cgroup_protection.  These memcgs are never participating in the
reclaim protection because the reclaim is internal.

We have to ignore effective protection values for reclaim roots because
mem_cgroup_protected might be called from racing reclaim contexts with
different roots.  Calculation is relying on root -> leaf tree traversal
therefore top-down reclaim protection invariants should hold.  The only
exception is the reclaim root which should have effective protection set
to 0 but that would be problematic for the following setup:

 Let's have global and A's reclaim in parallel:
  |
  A (low=2G, usage = 3G, max = 3G, children_low_usage = 1.5G)
  |\
  | C (low = 1G, usage = 2.5G)
  B (low = 1G, usage = 0.5G)

 for A reclaim we have
 B.elow = B.low
 C.elow = C.low

 For the global reclaim
 A.elow = A.low
 B.elow = min(B.usage, B.low) because children_low_usage <= A.elow
 C.elow = min(C.usage, C.low)

 With the effective values resetting we have A reclaim
 A.elow = 0
 B.elow = B.low
 C.elow = C.low

 and global reclaim could see the above and then
 B.elow = C.elow = 0 because children_low_usage > A.elow

Which means that protected memcgs would get reclaimed.

In future we would like to make mem_cgroup_protected more robust against
racing reclaim contexts but that is likely more complex solution than this
simple workaround.

d42f3245c7 mm: memcg: convert vmstat slab counters to bytes
In order to prepare for per-object slab memory accounting, convert
NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE vmstat items to bytes.

To make it obvious, rename them to NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B and
NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B (similar to NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB).

Internally global and per-node counters are stored in pages, however memcg
and lruvec counters are stored in bytes.  This scheme may look weird, but
only for now.  As soon as slab pages will be shared between multiple
cgroups, global and node counters will reflect the total number of slab
pages.  However memcg and lruvec counters will be used for per-memcg slab
memory tracking, which will take separate kernel objects in the account.
Keeping global and node counters in pages helps to avoid additional
overhead.

The size of slab memory shouldn't exceed 4Gb on 32-bit machines, so it
will fit into atomic_long_t we use for vmstats.

31d8fcac00 mm: workingset: age nonresident information alongside anonymous pages
Patch series "fix for "mm: balance LRU lists based on relative
thrashing" patchset"

This patchset fixes some problems of the patchset, "mm: balance LRU
lists based on relative thrashing", which is now merged on the mainline.

Patch "mm: workingset: let cache workingset challenge anon fix" is the
result of discussion with Johannes.  See following link.

  http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200520232525.798933-6-hannes@cmpxchg.org

And, the other two are minor things which are found when I try to rebase
my patchset.

This patch (of 3):

After ("mm: workingset: let cache workingset challenge anon fix"), we
compare refault distances to active_file + anon.  But age of the
non-resident information is only driven by the file LRU.  As a result,
we may overestimate the recency of any incoming refaults and activate
them too eagerly, causing unnecessary LRU churn in certain situations.

Make anon aging drive nonresident age as well to address that.

d483a5dd00 mm: vmscan: limit the range of LRU type balancing
When LRU cost only shows up on one list, we abruptly stop scanning that
list altogether.  That's an extreme reaction: by the time the other list
starts thrashing and the pendulum swings back, we may have no recent age
information on the first list anymore, and we could have significant
latencies until the scanner has caught up.

Soften this change in the feedback system by ensuring that no list
receives less than a third of overall pressure, and only distribute the
other 66% according to LRU cost.  This ensures that we maintain a minimum
rate of aging on the entire workingset while it's being pressured, while
still allowing a generous rate of convergence when the relative sizes of
the lists need to adjust.

96f8bf4fb1 mm: vmscan: reclaim writepage is IO cost
The VM tries to balance reclaim pressure between anon and file so as to
reduce the amount of IO incurred due to the memory shortage.  It already
counts refaults and swapins, but in addition it should also count
writepage calls during reclaim.

For swap, this is obvious: it's IO that wouldn't have occurred if the
anonymous memory hadn't been under memory pressure.  From a relative
balancing point of view this makes sense as well: even if anon is cold and
reclaimable, a cache that isn't thrashing may have equally cold pages that
don't require IO to reclaim.

For file writeback, it's trickier: some of the reclaim writepage IO would
have likely occurred anyway due to dirty expiration.  But not all of it -
premature writeback reduces batching and generates additional writes.
Since the flushers are already woken up by the time the VM starts writing
cache pages one by one, let's assume that we'e likely causing writes that
wouldn't have happened without memory pressure.  In addition, the per-page
cost of IO would have probably been much cheaper if written in larger
batches from the flusher thread rather than the single-page-writes from
kswapd.

For our purposes - getting the trend right to accelerate convergence on a
stable state that doesn't require paging at all - this is sufficiently
accurate.  If we later wanted to optimize for sustained thrashing, we can
still refine the measurements.

Count all writepage calls from kswapd as IO cost toward the LRU that the
page belongs to.

Why do this dynamically?  Don't we know in advance that anon pages require
IO to reclaim, and so could build in a static bias?

First, scanning is not the same as reclaiming.  If all the anon pages are
referenced, we may not swap for a while just because we're scanning the
anon list.  During this time, however, it's important that we age
anonymous memory and the page cache at the same rate so that their
hot-cold gradients are comparable.  Everything else being equal, we still
want to reclaim the coldest memory overall.

Second, we keep copies in swap unless the page changes.  If there is
swap-backed data that's mostly read (tmpfs file) and has been swapped out
before, we can reclaim it without incurring additional IO.

7cf111bc39 mm: vmscan: determine anon/file pressure balance at the reclaim root
We split the LRU lists into anon and file, and we rebalance the scan
pressure between them when one of them begins thrashing: if the file cache
experiences workingset refaults, we increase the pressure on anonymous
pages; if the workload is stalled on swapins, we increase the pressure on
the file cache instead.

With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this
correctly.  While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU
order among the pages of all involved cgroups, LRU pressure balancing is
done on an individual cgroup LRU level.  As a result, when one cgroup is
thrashing on the filesystem cache while a sibling may have cold anonymous
pages, pressure doesn't get equalized between them.

This patch moves LRU balancing decision to the root of reclaim - the same
level where the LRU order is established.

It does this by tracking LRU cost recursively, so that every level of the
cgroup tree knows the aggregate LRU cost of all memory within its domain.
When the page scanner calculates the scan balance for any given individual
cgroup's LRU list, it uses the values from the ancestor cgroup that
initiated the reclaim cycle.

If one sibling is then thrashing on the cache, it will tip the pressure
balance inside its ancestors, and the next hierarchical reclaim iteration
will go more after the anon pages in the tree.

314b57fb04 mm: balance LRU lists based on relative thrashing
Since the LRUs were split into anon and file lists, the VM has been
balancing between page cache and anonymous pages based on per-list ratios
of scanned vs.  rotated pages.  In most cases that tips page reclaim
towards the list that is easier to reclaim and has the fewest actively
used pages, but there are a few problems with it:

1. Refaults and LRU rotations are weighted the same way, even though
   one costs IO and the other costs a bit of CPU.

2. The less we scan an LRU list based on already observed rotations,
   the more we increase the sampling interval for new references, and
   rotations become even more likely on that list. This can enter a
   death spiral in which we stop looking at one list completely until
   the other one is all but annihilated by page reclaim.

Since commit a528910e12 ("mm: thrash detection-based file cache sizing")
we have refault detection for the page cache.  Along with swapin events,
they are good indicators of when the file or anon list, respectively, is
too small for its workingset and needs to grow.

For example, if the page cache is thrashing, the cache pages need more
time in memory, while there may be colder pages on the anonymous list.
Likewise, if swapped pages are faulting back in, it indicates that we
reclaim anonymous pages too aggressively and should back off.

Replace LRU rotations with refaults and swapins as the basis for relative
reclaim cost of the two LRUs.  This will have the VM target list balances
that incur the least amount of IO on aggregate.

264e90cc07 mm: only count actual rotations as LRU reclaim cost
When shrinking the active file list we rotate referenced pages only when
they're in an executable mapping.  The others get deactivated.  When it
comes to balancing scan pressure, though, we count all referenced pages as
rotated, even the deactivated ones.  Yet they do not carry the same cost
to the system: the deactivated page *might* refault later on, but the
deactivation is tangible progress toward freeing pages; rotations on the
other hand cost time and effort without getting any closer to freeing
memory.

Don't treat both events as equal.  The following patch will hook up LRU
balancing to cache and anon refaults, which are a much more concrete cost
signal for reclaiming one list over the other.  Thus, remove the maybe-IO
cost bias from page references, and only note the CPU cost for actual
rotations that prevent the pages from getting reclaimed.

1431d4d11a mm: base LRU balancing on an explicit cost model
Currently, scan pressure between the anon and file LRU lists is balanced
based on a mixture of reclaim efficiency and a somewhat vague notion of
"value" of having certain pages in memory over others.  That concept of
value is problematic, because it has caused us to count any event that
remotely makes one LRU list more or less preferrable for reclaim, even
when these events are not directly comparable and impose very different
costs on the system.  One example is referenced file pages that we still
deactivate and referenced anonymous pages that we actually rotate back to
the head of the list.

There is also conceptual overlap with the LRU algorithm itself.  By
rotating recently used pages instead of reclaiming them, the algorithm
already biases the applied scan pressure based on page value.  Thus, when
rebalancing scan pressure due to rotations, we should think of reclaim
cost, and leave assessing the page value to the LRU algorithm.

Lastly, considering both value-increasing as well as value-decreasing
events can sometimes cause the same type of event to be counted twice,
i.e.  how rotating a page increases the LRU value, while reclaiming it
succesfully decreases the value.  In itself this will balance out fine,
but it quietly skews the impact of events that are only recorded once.

The abstract metric of "value", the murky relationship with the LRU
algorithm, and accounting both negative and positive events make the
current pressure balancing model hard to reason about and modify.

This patch switches to a balancing model of accounting the concrete,
actually observed cost of reclaiming one LRU over another.  For now, that
cost includes pages that are scanned but rotated back to the list head.
Subsequent patches will add consideration for IO caused by refaulting of
recently evicted pages.

Replace struct zone_reclaim_stat with two cost counters in the lruvec, and
make everything that affects cost go through a new lru_note_cost()
function.

a4fe1631f3 mm: vmscan: drop unnecessary div0 avoidance rounding in get_scan_count()
When we calculate the relative scan pressure between the anon and file LRU
lists, we have to assume that reclaim_stat can contain zeroes.  To avoid
div0 crashes, we add 1 to all denominators like so:

        anon_prio = swappiness;
        file_prio = 200 - anon_prio;

	[...]

        /*
         * The amount of pressure on anon vs file pages is inversely
         * proportional to the fraction of recently scanned pages on
         * each list that were recently referenced and in active use.
         */
        ap = anon_prio * (reclaim_stat->recent_scanned[0] + 1);
        ap /= reclaim_stat->recent_rotated[0] + 1;

        fp = file_prio * (reclaim_stat->recent_scanned[1] + 1);
        fp /= reclaim_stat->recent_rotated[1] + 1;
        spin_unlock_irq(&pgdat->lru_lock);

        fraction[0] = ap;
        fraction[1] = fp;
        denominator = ap + fp + 1;

While reclaim_stat can contain 0, it's not actually possible for ap + fp
to be 0.  One of anon_prio or file_prio could be zero, but they must still
add up to 200.  And the reclaim_stat fraction, due to the +1 in there, is
always at least 1.  So if one of the two numerators is 0, the other one
can't be.  ap + fp is always at least 1.  Drop the + 1.

c843966c55 mm: allow swappiness that prefers reclaiming anon over the file workingset
With the advent of fast random IO devices (SSDs, PMEM) and in-memory swap
devices such as zswap, it's possible for swap to be much faster than
filesystems, and for swapping to be preferable over thrashing filesystem
caches.

Allow setting swappiness - which defines the rough relative IO cost of
cache misses between page cache and swap-backed pages - to reflect such
situations by making the swap-preferred range configurable.

1f318a9b0d mm/vmscan: count layzfree pages and fix nr_isolated_* mismatch
Fix an nr_isolate_* mismatch problem between cma and dirty lazyfree pages.

If try_to_unmap_one is used for reclaim and it detects a dirty lazyfree
page, then the lazyfree page is changed to a normal anon page having
SwapBacked by commit 802a3a92ad ("mm: reclaim MADV_FREE pages").  Even
with the change, reclaim context correctly counts isolated files because
it uses is_file_lru to distinguish file.  And the change to anon is not
happened if try_to_unmap_one is used for migration.  So migration context
like compaction also correctly counts isolated files even though it uses
page_is_file_lru insted of is_file_lru.  Recently page_is_file_cache was
renamed to page_is_file_lru by commit 9de4f22a60 ("mm: code cleanup for
MADV_FREE").

But the nr_isolate_* mismatch problem happens on cma alloc.  There is
reclaim_clean_pages_from_list which is being used only by cma.  It was
introduced by commit 02c6de8d75 ("mm: cma: discard clean pages during
contiguous allocation instead of migration") to reclaim clean file pages
without migration.  The cma alloc uses both reclaim_clean_pages_from_list
and migrate_pages, and it uses page_is_file_lru to count isolated files.
If there are dirty lazyfree pages allocated from cma memory region, the
pages are counted as isolated file at the beginging but are counted as
isolated anon after finished.

Mem-Info:
Node 0 active_anon:3045904kB inactive_anon:611448kB active_file:14892kB inactive_file:205636kB unevictable:10416kB isolated(anon):0kB isolated(file):37664kB mapped:630216kB dirty:384kB writeback:0kB shmem:42576kB writeback_tmp:0kB unstable:0kB all_unreclaimable? no

Like log above, there were too much isolated files, 37664kB, which
triggers too_many_isolated in reclaim even when there is no actually
isolated file in system wide.  It could be reproducible by running two
programs, writing on MADV_FREE page and doing cma alloc, respectively.
Although isolated anon is 0, I found that the internal value of isolated
anon was the negative value of isolated file.

Fix this by compensating the isolated count for both LRU lists.  Count
non-discarded lazyfree pages in shrink_page_list, then compensate the
counted number in reclaim_clean_pages_from_list.

The accessor, ac_classzone_idx() is also removed since it isn't needed

In addition to integration, this patch also renames high_zoneidx to

a37b0715dd mm/writeback: replace PF_LESS_THROTTLE with PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE
PF_LESS_THROTTLE exists for loop-back nfsd (and a similar need in the
loop block driver and callers of prctl(PR_SET_IO_FLUSHER)), where a
daemon needs to write to one bdi (the final bdi) in order to free up
writes queued to another bdi (the client bdi).

The daemon sets PF_LESS_THROTTLE and gets a larger allowance of dirty
pages, so that it can still dirty pages after other processses have been
throttled.  The purpose of this is to avoid deadlock that happen when
the PF_LESS_THROTTLE process must write for any dirty pages to be freed,
but it is being thottled and cannot write.

This approach was designed when all threads were blocked equally,
independently on which device they were writing to, or how fast it was.
Since that time the writeback algorithm has changed substantially with
different threads getting different allowances based on non-trivial
heuristics.  This means the simple "add 25%" heuristic is no longer
reliable.

The important issue is not that the daemon needs a *larger* dirty page
allowance, but that it needs a *private* dirty page allowance, so that
dirty pages for the "client" bdi that it is helping to clear (the bdi
for an NFS filesystem or loop block device etc) do not affect the
throttling of the daemon writing to the "final" bdi.

This patch changes the heuristic so that the task is not throttled when
the bdi it is writing to has a dirty page count below below (or equal
to) the free-run threshold for that bdi.  This ensures it will always be
able to have some pages in flight, and so will not deadlock.

In a steady-state, it is expected that PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE tasks might
still be throttled by global threshold, but that is acceptable as it is
only the deadlock state that is interesting for this flag.

This approach of "only throttle when target bdi is busy" is consistent
with the other use of PF_LESS_THROTTLE in current_may_throttle(), were
it causes attention to be focussed only on the target bdi.

So this patch
 - renames PF_LESS_THROTTLE to PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE,
 - removes the 25% bonus that that flag gives, and
 - If PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE is set, don't delay at all unless the
   global and the local free-run thresholds are exceeded.

Note that previously realtime threads were treated the same as
PF_LESS_THROTTLE threads.  This patch does *not* change the behvaiour
for real-time threads, so it is now different from the behaviour of nfsd
and loop tasks.  I don't know what is wanted for realtime.

6b700b5b3c mm/vmscan.c: remove cpu online notification for now
kswapd kernel thread starts either with a CPU affinity set to the full cpu
mask of its target node or without any affinity at all if the node is
CPUless.  There is a cpu hotplug callback (kswapd_cpu_online) that
implements an elaborate way to update this mask when a cpu is onlined.

It is not really clear whether there is any actual benefit from this
scheme. Completely CPU-less NUMA nodes rarely gain a new CPU during
runtime. Drop the code for that reason. If there is a real usecase then
we can resurrect and simplify the code.

1eb6234e52 mm: swap: make page_evictable() inline
When backporting commit 9c4e6b1a70 ("mm, mlock, vmscan: no more skipping
pagevecs") to our 4.9 kernel, our test bench noticed around 10% down with
a couple of vm-scalability's test cases (lru-file-readonce,
lru-file-readtwice and lru-file-mmap-read).  I didn't see that much down
on my VM (32c-64g-2nodes).  It might be caused by the test configuration,
which is 32c-256g with NUMA disabled and the tests were run in root memcg,
so the tests actually stress only one inactive and active lru.  It sounds
not very usual in mordern production environment.

That commit did two major changes:
1. Call page_evictable()
2. Use smp_mb to force the PG_lru set visible

It looks they contribute the most overhead.  The page_evictable() is a
function which does function prologue and epilogue, and that was used by
page reclaim path only.  However, lru add is a very hot path, so it sounds
better to make it inline.  However, it calls page_mapping() which is not
inlined either, but the disassemble shows it doesn't do push and pop
operations and it sounds not very straightforward to inline it.

Other than this, it sounds smp_mb() is not necessary for x86 since
SetPageLRU is atomic which enforces memory barrier already, replace it
with smp_mb__after_atomic() in the following patch.

With the two fixes applied, the tests can get back around 5% on that test
bench and get back normal on my VM.  Since the test bench configuration is
not that usual and I also saw around 6% up on the latest upstream, so it
sounds good enough IMHO.

The below is test data (lru-file-readtwice throughput) against the v5.6-rc4:
	mainline	w/ inline fix
          150MB            154MB

With this patch the throughput gets 2.67% up.  The data with using
smp_mb__after_atomic() is showed in the following patch.

Shakeel Butt did the below test:

On a real machine with limiting the 'dd' on a single node and reading 100
GiB sparse file (less than a single node).  Just ran a single instance to
not cause the lru lock contention.  The cmdline used is "dd if=file-100GiB
of=/dev/null bs=4k".  Ran the cmd 10 times with drop_caches in between and
measured the time it took.

Without patch: 56.64143 +- 0.672 sec

With patches: 56.10 +- 0.21 sec

76073c646f mm/vmscan.c: don't round up scan size for online memory cgroup
Commit 68600f623d ("mm: don't miss the last page because of round-off
error") makes the scan size round up to @denominator regardless of the
memory cgroup's state, online or offline.  This affects the overall
reclaiming behavior: the corresponding LRU list is eligible for
reclaiming only when its size logically right shifted by @sc->priority
is bigger than zero in the former formula.

For example, the inactive anonymous LRU list should have at least 0x4000
pages to be eligible for reclaiming when we have 60/12 for
swappiness/priority and without taking scan/rotation ratio into account.

After the roundup is applied, the inactive anonymous LRU list becomes
eligible for reclaiming when its size is bigger than or equal to 0x1000
in the same condition.

    (0x4000 >> 12) * 60 / (60 + 140 + 1) = 1
    ((0x1000 >> 12) * 60) + 200) / (60 + 140 + 1) = 1

aarch64 has 512MB huge page size when the base page size is 64KB.  The
memory cgroup that has a huge page is always eligible for reclaiming in
that case.

The reclaiming is likely to stop after the huge page is reclaimed,
meaing the further iteration on @sc->priority and the silbing and child
memory cgroups will be skipped.  The overall behaviour has been changed.
This fixes the issue by applying the roundup to offlined memory cgroups
only, to give more preference to reclaim memory from offlined memory
cgroup.  It sounds reasonable as those memory is unlikedly to be used by
anyone.

The issue was found by starting up 8 VMs on a Ampere Mustang machine,
which has 8 CPUs and 16 GB memory.  Each VM is given with 2 vCPUs and
2GB memory.  It took 264 seconds for all VMs to be completely up and
784MB swap is consumed after that.  With this patch applied, it took 236
seconds and 60MB swap to do same thing.  So there is 10% performance
improvement for my case.  Note that KSM is disable while THP is enabled
in the testing.

42a9a53bb3 mm: vmscan: protect shrinker idr replace with CONFIG_MEMCG
Since commit 0a432dcbeb ("mm: shrinker: make shrinker not depend on

CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM, so it makes no sense to protect shrinker idr replace
with CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM.

And in the CONFIG_MEMCG && CONFIG_SLOB case, shrinker_idr contains only
shrinker, and it is deferred_split_shrinker.  But it is never actually
called, since idr_replace() is never compiled due to the wrong #ifdef.
The deferred_split_shrinker all the time is staying in half-registered
state, and it's never called for subordinate mem cgroups.

b91ac37434 mm: vmscan: enforce inactive:active ratio at the reclaim root
We split the LRU lists into inactive and an active parts to maximize
workingset protection while allowing just enough inactive cache space to
faciltate readahead and writeback for one-off file accesses (e.g.  a
linear scan through a file, or logging); or just enough inactive anon to
maintain recent reference information when reclaim needs to swap.

With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this
correctly.  While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU
order among the pages of all involved cgroups, inactive:active size
decisions are done on a per-cgroup level.  As a result, we'll reclaim a
cgroup's workingset when it doesn't have cold pages, even when one of its
siblings has plenty of it that should be reclaimed first.

For example: workload A has 50M worth of hot cache but doesn't do any
one-off file accesses; meanwhile, parallel workload B scans files and
rarely accesses the same page twice.

If these workloads were to run in an uncgrouped system, A would be
protected from the high rate of cache faults from B.  But if they were put
in parallel cgroups for memory accounting purposes, B's fast cache fault
rate would push out the hot cache pages of A.  This is unexpected and
undesirable - the "scan resistance" of the page cache is broken.

This patch moves inactive:active size balancing decisions to the root of
reclaim - the same level where the LRU order is established.

It does this by looking at the recursive size of the inactive and the
active file sets of the cgroup subtree at the beginning of the reclaim
cycle, and then making a decision - scan or skip active pages - that
applies throughout the entire run and to every cgroup involved.

With that in place, in the test above, the VM will recognize that there
are plenty of inactive pages in the combined cache set of workloads A and
B and prefer the one-off cache in B over the hot pages in A.  The scan
resistance of the cache is restored.

b910718a94 mm: vmscan: detect file thrashing at the reclaim root
We use refault information to determine whether the cache workingset is
stable or transitioning, and dynamically adjust the inactive:active file
LRU ratio so as to maximize protection from one-off cache during stable
periods, and minimize IO during transitions.

With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this
correctly.  While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU
order among the pages of all involved cgroups, refaults only affect the
local LRU order in the cgroup in which they are occuring.  As a result,
cache transitions can take longer in a cgrouped system as the active pages
of sibling cgroups aren't challenged when they should be.

[ Right now, this is somewhat theoretical, because the siblings, under
  continued regular reclaim pressure, should eventually run out of
  inactive pages - and since inactive:active *size* balancing is also
  done on a cgroup-local level, we will challenge the active pages
  eventually in most cases. But the next patch will move that relative
  size enforcement to the reclaim root as well, and then this patch
  here will be necessary to propagate refault pressure to siblings. ]

This patch moves refault detection to the root of reclaim.  Instead of
remembering the cgroup owner of an evicted page, remember the cgroup that
caused the reclaim to happen.  When refaults later occur, they'll
correctly influence the cross-cgroup LRU order that reclaim follows.

I.e.  if global reclaim kicked out pages in some subgroup A/B/C, the
refault of those pages will challenge the global LRU order, and not just
the local order down inside C.

53138cea7f mm: vmscan: move file exhaustion detection to the node level
Patch series "mm: fix page aging across multiple cgroups".

When applications are put into unconfigured cgroups for memory accounting
purposes, the cgrouping itself should not change the behavior of the page
reclaim code.  We expect the VM to reclaim the coldest pages in the
system.  But right now the VM can reclaim hot pages in one cgroup while
there is eligible cold cache in others.

This is because one part of the reclaim algorithm isn't truly cgroup
hierarchy aware: the inactive/active list balancing.  That is the part
that is supposed to protect hot cache data from one-off streaming IO.

The recursive cgroup reclaim scheme will scan and rotate the physical LRU
lists of each eligible cgroup at the same rate in a round-robin fashion,
thereby establishing a relative order among the pages of all those
cgroups.  However, the inactive/active balancing decisions are made
locally within each cgroup, so when a cgroup is running low on cold pages,
its hot pages will get reclaimed - even when sibling cgroups have plenty
of cold cache eligible in the same reclaim run.

For example:

   [root@ham ~]# head -n1 /proc/meminfo
   MemTotal:        1016336 kB

   [root@ham ~]# ./reclaimtest2.sh
   Establishing 50M active files in cgroup A...
   Hot pages cached: 12800/12800 workingset-a
   Linearly scanning through 18G of file data in cgroup B:
   real    0m4.269s
   user    0m0.051s
   sys     0m4.182s
   Hot pages cached: 134/12800 workingset-a

The streaming IO in B, which doesn't benefit from caching at all, pushes
out most of the workingset in A.

Solution

This series fixes the problem by elevating inactive/active balancing
decisions to the toplevel of the reclaim run.  This is either a cgroup
that hit its limit, or straight-up global reclaim if there is physical
memory pressure.  From there, it takes a recursive view of the cgroup
subtree to decide whether page deactivation is necessary.

In the test above, the VM will then recognize that cgroup B has plenty of
eligible cold cache, and that the hot pages in A can be spared:

   [root@ham ~]# ./reclaimtest2.sh
   Establishing 50M active files in cgroup A...
   Hot pages cached: 12800/12800 workingset-a
   Linearly scanning through 18G of file data in cgroup B:
   real    0m4.244s
   user    0m0.064s
   sys     0m4.177s
   Hot pages cached: 12800/12800 workingset-a

Implementation

Whether active pages can be deactivated or not is influenced by two
factors: the inactive list dropping below a minimum size relative to the
active list, and the occurence of refaults.

This patch series first moves refault detection to the reclaim root, then
enforces the minimum inactive size based on a recursive view of the cgroup
tree's LRUs.

History

Note that this actually never worked correctly in Linux cgroups.  In the
past it worked for global reclaim and leaf limit reclaim only (we used to
have two physical LRU linkages per page), but it never worked for
intermediate limit reclaim over multiple leaf cgroups.

We're noticing this now because 1) we're putting everything into cgroups
for accounting, not just the things we want to control and 2) we're moving
away from leaf limits that invoke reclaim on individual cgroups, toward
large tree reclaim, triggered by high-level limits, or physical memory
pressure that is influenced by local protections such as memory.low and
memory.min instead.

This patch (of 3):

When file pages are lower than the watermark on a node, we try to force
scan anonymous pages to counter-act the balancing algorithms preference
for new file pages when they are likely thrashing.  This is a node-level
decision, but it's currently made each time we look at an lruvec.  This is
unnecessarily expensive and also a layering violation that makes the code
harder to understand.

Clean this up by making the check once per node and setting a flag in the
scan_control.

the cgroup-node intersection for cgroup reclaim.

The looping only happens in case of reclaim-compaction, which isn't the

b5ead35e7e mm: vmscan: naming fixes: global_reclaim() and sane_reclaim()
Seven years after introducing the global_reclaim() function, I still have

this is a terrible name.

Invert the meaning and rename it to cgroup_reclaim().

[ After all, "global reclaim" is just regular reclaim invoked from the
  page allocator. It's reclaim on behalf of a cgroup limit that is a
  special case of reclaim, and should be explicit - not the reverse. ]

sane_reclaim() isn't very descriptive either: it tests whether we can use
the regular writeback throttling - available during regular page reclaim
or cgroup2 limit reclaim - or need to use the broken
wait_on_page_writeback() method.  Use "writeback_throttling_sane()".

a108629149 mm: vmscan: move inactive_list_is_low() swap check to the caller
inactive_list_is_low() should be about one thing: checking the ratio
between inactive and active list.  Kitchensink checks like the one for
swap space makes the function hard to use and modify its callsites.
Luckly, most callers already have an understanding of the swap situation,
so it's easy to clean up.

get_scan_count() has its own, memcg-aware swap check, and doesn't even get
to the inactive_list_is_low() check on the anon list when there is no swap
space available.

shrink_list() is called on the results of get_scan_count(), so that check
is redundant too.

age_active_anon() has its own totalswap_pages check right before it checks
the list proportions.

The shrink_node_memcg() site is the only one that doesn't do its own swap
check.  Add it there.

Then delete the swap check from inactive_list_is_low().

867e5e1de1 mm: clean up and clarify lruvec lookup procedure
There is a per-memcg lruvec and a NUMA node lruvec.  Which one is being
used is somewhat confusing right now, and it's easy to make mistakes -
especially when it comes to global reclaim.

How it works: when memory cgroups are enabled, we always use the
root_mem_cgroup's per-node lruvecs.  When memory cgroups are not compiled
in or disabled at runtime, we use pgdat->lruvec.

Document that in a comment.

Due to the way the reclaim code is generalized, all lookups use the
mem_cgroup_lruvec() helper function, and nobody should have to find the
right lruvec manually right now.  But to avoid future mistakes, rename the
pgdat->lruvec member to pgdat->__lruvec and delete the convenience wrapper
that suggests it's a commonly accessed member.

While in this area, swap the mem_cgroup_lruvec() argument order.  The name
suggests a memcg operation, yet it takes a pgdat first and a memcg second.
I have to double take every time I call this.  Fix that.

de3b01506e mm: vmscan: simplify lruvec_lru_size()
Patch series "mm: vmscan: cgroup-related cleanups".

Here are 8 patches that clean up the reclaim code's interaction with
cgroups a bit. They're not supposed to change any behavior, just make
the implementation easier to understand and work with.

This patch (of 8):

This function currently takes the node or lruvec size and subtracts the
zones that are excluded by the classzone index of the allocation.  It uses
four different types of counters to do this.

Just add up the eligible zones.

fa40d1ee9f mm: vmscan: memcontrol: remove mem_cgroup_select_victim_node()
Since commit 1ba6fc9af3 ("mm: vmscan: do not share cgroup iteration
between reclaimers"), the memcg reclaim does not bail out earlier based
on sc->nr_reclaimed and will traverse all the nodes.  All the
reclaimable pages of the memcg on all the nodes will be scanned relative
to the reclaim priority.  So, there is no need to maintain state
regarding which node to start the memcg reclaim from.

This patch effectively reverts the commit 889976dbcb ("memcg: reclaim
memory from nodes in round-robin order") and commit 453a9bf347
("memcg: fix numa scan information update to be triggered by memory
event").

b11edebbc9 mm: memcg: get number of pages on the LRU list in memcgroup base on lru_zone_size
Commit 1a61ab8038 ("mm: memcontrol: replace zone summing with
lruvec_page_state()") has made lruvec_page_state to use per-cpu counters
instead of calculating it directly from lru_zone_size with an idea that
this would be more effective.

Tim has reported that this is not really the case for their database
benchmark which is showing an opposite results where lruvec_page_state
is taking up a huge chunk of CPU cycles (about 25% of the system time
which is roughly 7% of total cpu cycles) on 5.3 kernels.  The workload
is running on a larger machine (96cpus), it has many cgroups (500) and
it is heavily direct reclaim bound.

Tim Chen said:

The likely culprit is the cache traffic the lruvec_page_state_local
generates.  Dave Hansen says:

: I was thinking purely of the cache footprint.  If it's reading
: pn->lruvec_stat_local->count[idx] is three separate cachelines, so 192
: bytes of cache *96 CPUs = 18k of data, mostly read-only.  1 cgroup would
: be 18k of data for the whole system and the caching would be pretty
: efficient and all 18k would probably survive a tight page fault loop in
: the L1.  500 cgroups would be ~90k of data per CPU thread which doesn't
: fit in the L1 and probably wouldn't survive a tight page fault loop if
: both logical threads were banging on different cgroups.
:
: It's just a theory, but it's why I noted the number of cgroups when I
: initially saw this show up in profiles

Fix the regression by partially reverting the said commit and calculate
the lru size explicitly.

1bc63fb127 mm, memcg: make scan aggression always exclude protection
This patch is an incremental improvement on the existing
memory.{low,min} relative reclaim work to base its scan pressure
calculations on how much protection is available compared to the current
usage, rather than how much the current usage is over some protection
threshold.

This change doesn't change the experience for the user in the normal
case too much.  One benefit is that it replaces the (somewhat arbitrary)
100% cutoff with an indefinite slope, which makes it easier to ballpark
a memory.low value.

As well as this, the old methodology doesn't quite apply generically to
machines with varying amounts of physical memory.  Let's say we have a
top level cgroup, workload.slice, and another top level cgroup,
system-management.slice.  We want to roughly give 12G to
system-management.slice, so on a 32GB machine we set memory.low to 20GB
in workload.slice, and on a 64GB machine we set memory.low to 52GB.
However, because these are relative amounts to the total machine size,
while the amount of memory we want to generally be willing to yield to
system.slice is absolute (12G), we end up putting more pressure on
system.slice just because we have a larger machine and a larger workload
to fill it, which seems fairly unintuitive.  With this new behaviour, we
don't end up with this unintended side effect.

Previously the way that memory.low protection works is that if you are
50% over a certain baseline, you get 50% of your normal scan pressure.
This is certainly better than the previous cliff-edge behaviour, but it
can be improved even further by always considering memory under the
currently enforced protection threshold to be out of bounds.  This means
that we can set relatively low memory.low thresholds for variable or
bursty workloads while still getting a reasonable level of protection,
whereas with the previous version we may still trivially hit the 100%
clamp.  The previous 100% clamp is also somewhat arbitrary, whereas this
one is more concretely based on the currently enforced protection
threshold, which is likely easier to reason about.

There is also a subtle issue with the way that proportional reclaim
worked previously -- it promotes having no memory.low, since it makes
pressure higher during low reclaim.  This happens because we base our
scan pressure modulation on how far memory.current is between memory.min
and memory.low, but if memory.low is unset, we only use the overage
method.  In most cromulent configurations, this then means that we end
up with *more* pressure than with no memory.low at all when we're in low
reclaim, which is not really very usable or expected.

With this patch, memory.low and memory.min affect reclaim pressure in a
more understandable and composable way.  For example, from a user
standpoint, "protected" memory now remains untouchable from a reclaim
aggression standpoint, and users can also have more confidence that
bursty workloads will still receive some amount of guaranteed
protection.

9de7ca46ad mm, memcg: make memory.emin the baseline for utilisation determination
Roman points out that when when we do the low reclaim pass, we scale the
reclaim pressure relative to position between 0 and the maximum
protection threshold.

However, if the maximum protection is based on memory.elow, and
memory.emin is above zero, this means we still may get binary behaviour
on second-pass low reclaim.  This is because we scale starting at 0, not
starting at memory.emin, and since we don't scan at all below emin, we
end up with cliff behaviour.

This should be a fairly uncommon case since usually we don't go into the
second pass, but it makes sense to scale our low reclaim pressure
starting at emin.

You can test this by catting two large sparse files, one in a cgroup
with emin set to some moderate size compared to physical RAM, and
another cgroup without any emin.  In both cgroups, set an elow larger
than 50% of physical RAM.  The one with emin will have less page
scanning, as reclaim pressure is lower.

Rebase on top of and apply the same idea as what was applied to handle
cgroup_memory=disable properly for the original proportional patch
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190201045711.GA18302@chrisdown.name ("mm,

9783aa9917 mm, memcg: proportional memory.{low,min} reclaim
cgroup v2 introduces two memory protection thresholds: memory.low
(best-effort) and memory.min (hard protection).  While they generally do
what they say on the tin, there is a limitation in their implementation
that makes them difficult to use effectively: that cliff behaviour often
manifests when they become eligible for reclaim.  This patch implements
more intuitive and usable behaviour, where we gradually mount more
reclaim pressure as cgroups further and further exceed their protection
thresholds.

This cliff edge behaviour happens because we only choose whether or not
to reclaim based on whether the memcg is within its protection limits
(see the use of mem_cgroup_protected in shrink_node), but we don't vary
our reclaim behaviour based on this information.  Imagine the following
timeline, with the numbers the lruvec size in this zone:

1. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=999999. 0 pages may be scanned.
2. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=1000000. 0 pages may be scanned.
3. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=1000001. 1000001* pages may be
   scanned. (?!)

* Of course, we won't usually scan all available pages in the zone even
  without this patch because of scan control priority, over-reclaim
  protection, etc.  However, as shown by the tests at the end, these
  techniques don't sufficiently throttle such an extreme change in input,
  so cliff-like behaviour isn't really averted by their existence alone.

Here's an example of how this plays out in practice.  At Facebook, we are
trying to protect various workloads from "system" software, like
configuration management tools, metric collectors, etc (see this[0] case
study).  In order to find a suitable memory.low value, we start by
determining the expected memory range within which the workload will be
comfortable operating.  This isn't an exact science -- memory usage deemed
"comfortable" will vary over time due to user behaviour, differences in
composition of work, etc, etc.  As such we need to ballpark memory.low,
but doing this is currently problematic:

1. If we end up setting it too low for the workload, it won't have
   *any* effect (see discussion above).  The group will receive the full
   weight of reclaim and won't have any priority while competing with the
   less important system software, as if we had no memory.low configured
   at all.

2. Because of this behaviour, we end up erring on the side of setting
   it too high, such that the comfort range is reliably covered.  However,
   protected memory is completely unavailable to the rest of the system,
   so we might cause undue memory and IO pressure there when we *know* we
   have some elasticity in the workload.

3. Even if we get the value totally right, smack in the middle of the
   comfort zone, we get extreme jumps between no pressure and full
   pressure that cause unpredictable pressure spikes in the workload due
   to the current binary reclaim behaviour.

With this patch, we can set it to our ballpark estimation without too much
worry.  Any undesirable behaviour, such as too much or too little reclaim
pressure on the workload or system will be proportional to how far our
estimation is off.  This means we can set memory.low much more
conservatively and thus waste less resources *without* the risk of the
workload falling off a cliff if we overshoot.

As a more abstract technical description, this unintuitive behaviour
results in having to give high-priority workloads a large protection
buffer on top of their expected usage to function reliably, as otherwise
we have abrupt periods of dramatically increased memory pressure which
hamper performance.  Having to set these thresholds so high wastes
resources and generally works against the principle of work conservation.
In addition, having proportional memory reclaim behaviour has other
benefits.  Most notably, before this patch it's basically mandatory to set
memory.low to a higher than desirable value because otherwise as soon as
you exceed memory.low, all protection is lost, and all pages are eligible
to scan again.  By contrast, having a gradual ramp in reclaim pressure
means that you now still get some protection when thresholds are exceeded,
which means that one can now be more comfortable setting memory.low to
lower values without worrying that all protection will be lost.  This is
important because workingset size is really hard to know exactly,
especially with variable workloads, so at least getting *some* protection
if your workingset size grows larger than you expect increases user
confidence in setting memory.low without a huge buffer on top being
needed.

Thanks a lot to Johannes Weiner and Tejun Heo for their advice and
assistance in thinking about how to make this work better.

In testing these changes, I intended to verify that:

1. Changes in page scanning become gradual and proportional instead of
   binary.

   To test this, I experimented stepping further and further down
   memory.low protection on a workload that floats around 19G workingset
   when under memory.low protection, watching page scan rates for the
   workload cgroup:

   +------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+
   | memory.low | test (pgscan/s) | control (pgscan/s) | % of control |
   +------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+
   |        21G |               0 |                  0 | N/A          |
   |        17G |             867 |               3799 | 23%          |
   |        12G |            1203 |               3543 | 34%          |
   |         8G |            2534 |               3979 | 64%          |
   |         4G |            3980 |               4147 | 96%          |
   |          0 |            3799 |               3980 | 95%          |
   +------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+

   As you can see, the test kernel (with a kernel containing this
   patch) ramps up page scanning significantly more gradually than the
   control kernel (without this patch).

2. More gradual ramp up in reclaim aggression doesn't result in
   premature OOMs.

   To test this, I wrote a script that slowly increments the number of
   pages held by stress(1)'s --vm-keep mode until a production system
   entered severe overall memory contention.  This script runs in a highly
   protected slice taking up the majority of available system memory.
   Watching vmstat revealed that page scanning continued essentially
   nominally between test and control, without causing forward reclaim
   progress to become arrested.

1a4e58cce8 mm: introduce MADV_PAGEOUT
When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range for a long
time, it could hint kernel that the pages can be reclaimed instantly but
data should be preserved for future use.  This could reduce workingset
eviction so it ends up increasing performance.

This patch introduces the new MADV_PAGEOUT hint to madvise(2) syscall.
MADV_PAGEOUT can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not
expected to be used for a long time so that kernel reclaims *any LRU*
pages instantly.  The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to
evict proactively.

A note: It doesn't apply SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX LRU page isolation limit
intentionally because it's automatically bounded by PMD size.  If PMD
size(e.g., 256) makes some trouble, we could fix it later by limit it to
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX[1].

- man-page material

MADV_PAGEOUT (since Linux x.x)

Do not expect access in the near future so pages in the specified
regions could be reclaimed instantly regardless of memory pressure.
Thus, access in the range after successful operation could cause
major page fault but never lose the up-to-date contents unlike
MADV_DONTNEED. Pages belonging to a shared mapping are only processed
if a write access is allowed for the calling process.

MADV_PAGEOUT cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or
VM_PFNMAP pages.

8940b34a4e mm: change PAGEREF_RECLAIM_CLEAN with PAGE_REFRECLAIM
The local variable references in shrink_page_list is PAGEREF_RECLAIM_CLEAN
as default.  It is for preventing to reclaim dirty pages when CMA try to
migrate pages.  Strictly speaking, we don't need it because CMA didn't
allow to write out by .may_writepage = 0 in reclaim_clean_pages_from_list.

Moreover, it has a problem to prevent anonymous pages's swap out even
though force_reclaim = true in shrink_page_list on upcoming patch.  So
this patch makes references's default value to PAGEREF_RECLAIM and rename
force_reclaim with ignore_references to make it more clear.

This is a preparatory work for next patch.

0a432dcbeb mm: shrinker: make shrinker not depend on memcg kmem
Currently shrinker is just allocated and can work when memcg kmem is
enabled.  But, THP deferred split shrinker is not slab shrinker, it
doesn't make too much sense to have such shrinker depend on memcg kmem.
It should be able to reclaim THP even though memcg kmem is disabled.

Introduce a new shrinker flag, SHRINKER_NONSLAB, for non-slab shrinker.
When memcg kmem is disabled, just such shrinkers can be called in
shrinking memcg slab.

A later patch makes THP deferred split shrinker memcg aware, but it needs

mem_cgroup_uncharge() now.

So move mem_cgroup_uncharge() from __page_cache_release() to compound page
destructor, which is called by both THP and other compound pages except
HugeTLB.  And call it in __put_single_page() for single order page.

5ee04716c4 mm, reclaim: cleanup should_continue_reclaim()
After commit "mm, reclaim: make should_continue_reclaim perform dryrun
detection", closer look at the function shows, that nr_reclaimed == 0
means the function will always return false.  And since non-zero
nr_reclaimed implies non_zero nr_scanned, testing nr_scanned serves no
purpose, and so does the testing for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL.

This patch thus cleans up the function to test only !nr_reclaimed upfront,
and remove the __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL test and nr_scanned parameter
completely.  Comment is also updated, explaining that approximating "full
LRU list has been scanned" with nr_scanned == 0 didn't really work.

1c6c15971e mm, reclaim: make should_continue_reclaim perform dryrun detection
Patch series "address hugetlb page allocation stalls", v2.

Allocation of hugetlb pages via sysctl or procfs can stall for minutes or
hours.  A simple example on a two node system with 8GB of memory is as
follows:

echo 4096 > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
echo 4096 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages

Obviously, both allocation attempts will fall short of their 8GB goal.
However, one or both of these commands may stall and not be interruptible.
The issues were initially discussed in mail thread [1] and RFC code at
[2].

This series addresses the issues causing the stalls.  There are two
distinct fixes, a cleanup, and an optimization.  The reclaim patch by
Hillf and compaction patch by Vlasitmil address corner cases in their
respective areas.  hugetlb page allocation could stall due to either of
these issues.  Vlasitmil added a cleanup patch after Hillf's
modifications.  The hugetlb patch by Mike is an optimization suggested
during the debug and development process.

[2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190724175014.9935-1-mike.kravetz@oracle.com

This patch (of 4):

Address the issue of should_continue_reclaim returning true too often for
__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL attempts when !nr_reclaimed and nr_scanned.  This was
observed during hugetlb page allocation causing stalls for minutes or
hours.

We can stop reclaiming pages if compaction reports it can make a progress.
There might be side-effects for other high-order allocations that would
potentially benefit from reclaiming more before compaction so that they
would be faster and less likely to stall.  However, the consequences of
premature/over-reclaim are considered worse.

We can also bail out of reclaiming pages if we know that there are not
enough inactive lru pages left to satisfy the costly allocation.

We can give up reclaiming pages too if we see dryrun occur, with the
certainty of plenty of inactive pages.  IOW with dryrun detected, we are
sure we have reclaimed as many pages as we could.

1ba6fc9af3 mm: vmscan: do not share cgroup iteration between reclaimers
One of our services observed a high rate of cgroup OOM kills in the
presence of large amounts of clean cache.  Debugging showed that the
culprit is the shared cgroup iteration in page reclaim.

Under high allocation concurrency, multiple threads enter reclaim at the
same time.  Fearing overreclaim when we first switched from the single
global LRU to cgrouped LRU lists, we introduced a shared iteration state
for reclaim invocations - whether 1 or 20 reclaimers are active
concurrently, we only walk the cgroup tree once: the 1st reclaimer
reclaims the first cgroup, the second the second one etc.  With more
reclaimers than cgroups, we start another walk from the top.

This sounded reasonable at the time, but the problem is that reclaim
concurrency doesn't scale with allocation concurrency.  As reclaim
concurrency increases, the amount of memory individual reclaimers get to
scan gets smaller and smaller.  Individual reclaimers may only see one
cgroup per cycle, and that may not have much reclaimable memory.  We see
individual reclaimers declare OOM when there is plenty of reclaimable
memory available in cgroups they didn't visit.

This patch does away with the shared iterator, and every reclaimer is
allowed to scan the full cgroup tree and see all of reclaimable memory,
just like it would on a non-cgrouped system.  This way, when OOM is
declared, we know that the reclaimer actually had a chance.

To still maintain fairness in reclaim pressure, disallow cgroup reclaim
from bailing out of the tree walk early.  Kswapd and regular direct
reclaim already don't bail, so it's not clear why limit reclaim would have
to, especially since it only walks subtrees to begin with.

This change completely eliminates the OOM kills on our service, while
showing no signs of overreclaim - no increased scan rates, %sys time, or
abrupt free memory spikes.  I tested across 100 machines that have 64G of
RAM and host about 300 cgroups each.

[ It's possible overreclaim never was a *practical* issue to begin
  with - it was simply a concern we had on the mailing lists at the
  time, with no real data to back it up. But we have also added more
  bail-out conditions deeper inside reclaim (e.g. the proportional
  exit in shrink_node_memcg) since. Regardless, now we have data that
  suggests full walks are more reliable and scale just fine. ]

Fix the warning by dropping set_task_reclaim_state from the soft reclaim

28360f3987 mm, vmscan: do not special-case slab reclaim when watermarks are boosted
Dave Chinner reported a problem pointing a finger at commit 1c30844d2d
("mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation
event occurs").

The report is extensive:

  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190807091858.2857-1-david@fromorbit.com/

and it's worth recording the most relevant parts (colorful language and
typos included).

	When running a simple, steady state 4kB file creation test to
	simulate extracting tarballs larger than memory full of small
	files into the filesystem, I noticed that once memory fills up
	the cache balance goes to hell.

	The workload is creating one dirty cached inode for every dirty
	page, both of which should require a single IO each to clean and
	reclaim, and creation of inodes is throttled by the rate at which
	dirty writeback runs at (via balance dirty pages). Hence the ingest
	rate of new cached inodes and page cache pages is identical and
	steady. As a result, memory reclaim should quickly find a steady
	balance between page cache and inode caches.

	The moment memory fills, the page cache is reclaimed at a much
	faster rate than the inode cache, and evidence suggests that
	the inode cache shrinker is not being called when large batches
	of pages are being reclaimed. In roughly the same time period
	that it takes to fill memory with 50% pages and 50% slab caches,
	memory reclaim reduces the page cache down to just dirty pages
	and slab caches fill the entirety of memory.

	The LRU is largely full of dirty pages, and we're getting spikes
	of random writeback from memory reclaim so it's all going to shit.
	Behaviour never recovers, the page cache remains pinned at just
	dirty pages, and nothing I could tune would make any difference.
	vfs_cache_pressure makes no difference - I would set it so high
	it should trim the entire inode caches in a single pass, yet it
	didn't do anything. It was clear from tracing and live telemetry
	that the shrinkers were pretty much not running except when
	there was absolutely no memory free at all, and then they did
	the minimum necessary to free memory to make progress.

	So I went looking at the code, trying to find places where pages
	got reclaimed and the shrinkers weren't called. There's only one
	- kswapd doing boosted reclaim as per commit 1c30844d2d ("mm:
	reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation
	event occurs").

The watermark boosting introduced by the commit is triggered in response
to an allocation "fragmentation event".  The boosting was not intended
to target THP specifically and triggers even if THP is disabled.
However, with Dave's perfectly reasonable workload, fragmentation events
can be very common given the ratio of slab to page cache allocations so
boosting remains active for long periods of time.

As high-order allocations might use compaction and compaction cannot
move slab pages the decision was made in the commit to special-case
kswapd when watermarks are boosted -- kswapd avoids reclaiming slab as
reclaiming slab does not directly help compaction.

As Dave notes, this decision means that slab can be artificially
protected for long periods of time and messes up the balance with slab
and page caches.

Removing the special casing can still indirectly help avoid
fragmentation by avoiding fragmentation-causing events due to slab
allocation as pages from a slab pageblock will have some slab objects
freed.  Furthermore, with the special casing, reclaim behaviour is
unpredictable as kswapd sometimes examines slab and sometimes does not
in a manner that is tricky to tune or analyse.

This patch removes the special casing.  The downside is that this is not
a universal performance win.  Some benchmarks that depend on the
residency of data when rereading metadata may see a regression when slab
reclaim is restored to its original behaviour.  Similarly, some
benchmarks that only read-once or write-once may perform better when
page reclaim is too aggressive.  The primary upside is that slab
shrinker is less surprising (arguably more sane but that's a matter of
opinion), behaves consistently regardless of the fragmentation state of
the system and properly obeys VM sysctls.

A fsmark benchmark configuration was constructed similar to what Dave
reported and is codified by the mmtest configuration
config-io-fsmark-small-file-stream.  It was evaluated on a 1-socket
machine to avoid dealing with NUMA-related issues and the timing of
reclaim.  The storage was an SSD Samsung Evo and a fresh trimmed XFS
filesystem was used for the test data.

This is not an exact replication of Dave's setup.  The configuration
scales its parameters depending on the memory size of the SUT to behave
similarly across machines.  The parameters mean the first sample
reported by fs_mark is using 50% of RAM which will barely be throttled
and look like a big outlier.  Dave used fake NUMA to have multiple
kswapd instances which I didn't replicate.  Finally, the number of
iterations differ from Dave's test as the target disk was not large
enough.  While not identical, it should be representative.

This is showing a slight skew for the max result representing a large
outlier for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd quartile are similar indicating that
the bulk of the results show little difference.  Note that an earlier
version of the fsmark configuration showed a regression but that
included more samples taken while memory was still filling.

Note that the elapsed time is higher.  Part of this is that the
configuration included time to delete all the test files when the test
completes -- the test automation handles the possibility of testing
fsmark with multiple thread counts.  Without the patch, many of these
objects would be memory resident which is part of what the patch is
addressing.

There are other important observations that justify the patch.

1. With the vanilla kernel, the number of dirty pages in the system is
   very low for much of the test. With this patch, dirty pages is
   generally kept at 10% which matches vm.dirty_background_ratio which
   is normal expected historical behaviour.

2. With the vanilla kernel, the ratio of Slab/Pagecache is close to
   0.95 for much of the test i.e. Slab is being left alone and
   dominating memory consumption. With the patch applied, the ratio
   varies between 0.35 and 0.45 with the bulk of the measured ratios
   roughly half way between those values. This is a different balance to
   what Dave reported but it was at least consistent.

3. Slabs are scanned throughout the entire test with the patch applied.
   The vanille kernel has periods with no scan activity and then
   relatively massive spikes.

4. Without the patch, kswapd scan rates are very variable. With the
   patch, the scan rates remain quite steady.

4. Overall vmstats are closer to normal expectations

	o Vanilla kernel is hitting direct reclaim more frequently,
	  not very much in absolute terms but the fact the patch
	  reduces it is interesting
	o "Page reclaim immediate" in the vanilla kernel indicates
	  dirty pages are being encountered at the tail of the LRU.
	  This is generally bad and means in this case that the LRU
	  is not long enough for dirty pages to be cleaned by the
	  background flush in time. This is much reduced by the
	  patch.
	o With the patch, kswapd is reclaiming 10 times more slab
	  pages than with the vanilla kernel. This is indicative
	  of the watermark boosting over-protecting slab

A more complete set of tests were run that were part of the basis for
introducing boosting and while there are some differences, they are well
within tolerances.

Bottom line, the special casing kswapd to avoid slab behaviour is
unpredictable and can lead to abnormal results for normal workloads.

This patch restores the expected behaviour that slab and page cache is
balanced consistently for a workload with a steady allocation ratio of
slab/pagecache pages.  It also means that if there are workloads that
favour the preservation of slab over pagecache that it can be tuned via
vm.vfs_cache_pressure where as the vanilla kernel effectively ignores
the parameter when boosting is active.

fa1e512fac mm: vmscan: check if mem cgroup is disabled or not before calling memcg slab shrinker
Shakeel Butt reported premature oom on kernel with
"cgroup_disable=memory" since mem_cgroup_is_root() returns false even
though memcg is actually NULL.  The drop_caches is also broken.

It is because commit aeed1d325d ("mm/vmscan.c: generalize
shrink_slab() calls in shrink_node()") removed the !memcg check before
!mem_cgroup_is_root().  And, surprisingly root memcg is allocated even
though memory cgroup is disabled by kernel boot parameter.

Add mem_cgroup_disabled() check to make reclaimer work as expected.

0308f7cf19 mm/vmscan.c: calculate reclaimed slab caches in all reclaim paths
There are six different reclaim paths by now:

 - kswapd reclaim path
 - node reclaim path
 - hibernate preallocate memory reclaim path
 - direct reclaim path
 - memcg reclaim path
 - memcg softlimit reclaim path

The slab caches reclaimed in these paths are only calculated in the
above three paths.

There're some drawbacks if we don't calculate the reclaimed slab caches.

 - The sc->nr_reclaimed isn't correct if there're some slab caches
   relcaimed in this path.

 - The slab caches may be reclaimed thoroughly if there're lots of
   reclaimable slab caches and few page caches.

   Let's take an easy example for this case. If one memcg is full of
   slab caches and the limit of it is 512M, in other words there're
   approximately 512M slab caches in this memcg. Then the limit of the
   memcg is reached and the memcg reclaim begins, and then in this memcg
   reclaim path it will continuesly reclaim the slab caches until the
   sc->priority drops to 0. After this reclaim stops, you will find
   there're few slab caches left, which is less than 20M in my test
   case. While after this patch applied the number is greater than 300M
   and the sc->priority only drops to 3.

e5ca8071fe mm/vmscan.c: add a new member reclaim_state in struct shrink_control
Patch series "mm/vmscan: calculate reclaimed slab in all reclaim paths".

This patchset is to fix the issues in doing shrink slab.

There're six different reclaim paths by now,
 - kswapd reclaim path
 - node reclaim path
 - hibernate preallocate memory reclaim path
 - direct reclaim path
 - memcg reclaim path
 - memcg softlimit reclaim path

The slab caches reclaimed in these paths are only calculated in the
above three paths.  The issues are detailed explained in patch #2.  We
should calculate the reclaimed slab caches in every reclaim path.  In
order to do it, the struct reclaim_state is placed into the struct
shrink_control.

In node reclaim path, there'is another issue about shrinking slab, which
is adressed in "mm/vmscan: shrink slab in node reclaim"
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/1559874946-22960-1-git-send-email-laoar.shao@gmail.com/).

This patch (of 2):

The struct reclaim_state is used to record how many slab caches are
reclaimed in one reclaim path.  The struct shrink_control is used to
control one reclaim path.  So we'd better put reclaim_state into
shrink_control.

98879b3b9e mm: vmscan: correct some vmscan counters for THP swapout
Commit bd4c82c22c ("mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP after swapped
out"), THP can be swapped out in a whole.  But, nr_reclaimed and some
other vm counters still get inc'ed by one even though a whole THP (512
pages) gets swapped out.

This doesn't make too much sense to memory reclaim.

For example, direct reclaim may just need reclaim SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX
pages, reclaiming one THP could fulfill it.  But, if nr_reclaimed is not
increased correctly, direct reclaim may just waste time to reclaim more
pages, SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX * 512 pages in worst case.

And, it may cause pgsteal_{kswapd|direct} is greater than
pgscan_{kswapd|direct}, like the below:

pgsteal_kswapd 122933
pgsteal_direct 26600225
pgscan_kswapd 174153
pgscan_direct 14678312

nr_reclaimed and nr_scanned must be fixed in parallel otherwise it would
break some page reclaim logic, e.g.

vmpressure: this looks at the scanned/reclaimed ratio so it won't change
semantics as long as scanned & reclaimed are fixed in parallel.

compaction/reclaim: compaction wants a certain number of physical pages
freed up before going back to compacting.

kswapd priority raising: kswapd raises priority if we scan fewer pages
than the reclaim target (which itself is obviously expressed in order-0
pages).  As a result, kswapd can falsely raise its aggressiveness even
when it's making great progress.

Other than nr_scanned and nr_reclaimed, some other counters, e.g.
pgactivate, nr_skipped, nr_ref_keep and nr_unmap_fail need to be fixed too
since they are user visible via cgroup, /proc/vmstat or trace points,
otherwise they would be underreported.

When isolating pages from LRUs, nr_taken has been accounted in base page,
but nr_scanned and nr_skipped are still accounted in THP.  It doesn't make
too much sense too since this may cause trace point underreport the
numbers as well.

So accounting those counters in base page instead of accounting THP as one
page.

nr_dirty, nr_unqueued_dirty, nr_congested and nr_writeback are used by
file cache, so they are not impacted by THP swap.

This change may result in lower steal/scan ratio in some cases since THP
may get split during page reclaim, then a part of tail pages get reclaimed
instead of the whole 512 pages, but nr_scanned is accounted by 512,
particularly for direct reclaim.  But, this should be not a significant
issue.

af5d440365 mm: vmscan: remove double slab pressure by inc'ing sc->nr_scanned
Commit 9092c71bb7 ("mm: use sc->priority for slab shrink targets") has
broken up the relationship between sc->nr_scanned and slab pressure.
The sc->nr_scanned can't double slab pressure anymore.  So, it sounds no
sense to still keep sc->nr_scanned inc'ed.  Actually, it would prevent
from adding pressure on slab shrink since excessive sc->nr_scanned would
prevent from scan->priority raise.

The bonnie test doesn't show this would change the behavior of slab
shrinkers.

Random delete: 		2518      63.8    2561.6     64.6

The slight increase of "/sec" without the patch would be caused by the
slight increase of CPU usage.

2c012a4ad1 mm: vmscan: scan anonymous pages on file refaults
When file refaults are detected and there are many inactive file pages,
the system never reclaim anonymous pages, the file pages are dropped
aggressively when there are still a lot of cold anonymous pages and
system thrashes.  This issue impacts the performance of applications
with large executable, e.g.  chrome.

With this patch, when file refault is detected, inactive_list_is_low()
always returns true for file pages in get_scan_count() to enable
scanning anonymous pages.

The problem can be reproduced by the following test program.

dffcac2cb8 mm/vmscan.c: prevent useless kswapd loops
In production we have noticed hard lockups on large machines running
large jobs due to kswaps hoarding lru lock within isolate_lru_pages when
sc->reclaim_idx is 0 which is a small zone.  The lru was couple hundred
GiBs and the condition (page_zonenum(page) > sc->reclaim_idx) in
isolate_lru_pages() was basically skipping GiBs of pages while holding
the LRU spinlock with interrupt disabled.

On further inspection, it seems like there are two issues:

(1) If kswapd on the return from balance_pgdat() could not sleep (i.e.
    node is still unbalanced), the classzone_idx is unintentionally set
    to 0 and the whole reclaim cycle of kswapd will try to reclaim only
    the lowest and smallest zone while traversing the whole memory.

(2) Fundamentally isolate_lru_pages() is really bad when the
    allocation has woken kswapd for a smaller zone on a very large machine
    running very large jobs.  It can hoard the LRU spinlock while skipping
    over 100s of GiBs of pages.

This patch only fixes (1).  (2) needs a more fundamental solution.  To
fix (1), in the kswapd context, if pgdat->kswapd_classzone_idx is
invalid use the classzone_idx of the previous kswapd loop otherwise use
the one the waker has requested.

There was the below bug report from Wu Fangsuo.

To fix the issue, this patch filters out unevictable LRU pages from the
reclaim_clean_pages_from_list in CMA.

205b20cc5a mm: memcontrol: make cgroup stats and events query API explicitly local
Patch series "mm: memcontrol: memory.stat cost & correctness".

The cgroup memory.stat file holds recursive statistics for the entire
subtree.  The current implementation does this tree walk on-demand
whenever the file is read.  This is giving us problems in production.

1. The cost of aggregating the statistics on-demand is high.  A lot of
   system service cgroups are mostly idle and their stats don't change
   between reads, yet we always have to check them.  There are also always
   some lazily-dying cgroups sitting around that are pinned by a handful
   of remaining page cache; the same applies to them.

   In an application that periodically monitors memory.stat in our
   fleet, we have seen the aggregation consume up to 5% CPU time.

2. When cgroups die and disappear from the cgroup tree, so do their
   accumulated vm events.  The result is that the event counters at
   higher-level cgroups can go backwards and confuse some of our
   automation, let alone people looking at the graphs over time.

To address both issues, this patch series changes the stat
implementation to spill counts upwards when the counters change.

The upward spilling is batched using the existing per-cpu cache.  In a
sparse file stress test with 5 level cgroup nesting, the additional cost
of the flushing was negligible (a little under 1% of CPU at 100% CPU
utilization, compared to the 5% of reading memory.stat during regular
operation).

This patch (of 4):

memcg_page_state(), lruvec_page_state(), memcg_sum_events() are
currently returning the state of the local memcg or lruvec, not the
recursive state.

In practice there is a demand for both versions, although the callers
that want the recursive counts currently sum them up by hand.

Per default, cgroups are considered recursive entities and generally we
expect more users of the recursive counters, with the local counts being
special cases.  To reflect that in the name, add a _local suffix to the
current implementations.

The following patch will re-incarnate these functions with recursive
semantics, but with an O(1) implementation.

There are three tracepoints using this template, which are
mm_vmscan_direct_reclaim_begin,
mm_vmscan_memcg_reclaim_begin,
mm_vmscan_memcg_softlimit_reclaim_begin.

Regarding mm_vmscan_direct_reclaim_begin,
sc.may_writepage is !laptop_mode, that's a static setting, and
reclaim_idx is derived from gfp_mask which is already show in this
tracepoint.

Regarding mm_vmscan_memcg_reclaim_begin,
may_writepage is !laptop_mode too, and reclaim_idx is (MAX_NR_ZONES-1),
which are both static value.

mm_vmscan_memcg_softlimit_reclaim_begin is the same with
mm_vmscan_memcg_reclaim_begin.

So we can drop them all.

a222f34158 mm: generalize putback scan functions
This combines two similar functions move_active_pages_to_lru() and
putback_inactive_pages() into single move_pages_to_lru().  This remove
duplicate code and makes object file size smaller.

Before:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  57082	   4732	    128	  61942	   f1f6	mm/vmscan.o
After:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  55112	   4600	    128	  59840	   e9c0	mm/vmscan.o

Note, that now we are checking for !page_evictable() coming from
shrink_active_list(), which shouldn't change any behavior since that path
works with evictable pages only.

886cf1901d mm: move recent_rotated pages calculation to shrink_inactive_list()
Patch series "mm: Generalize putback functions"]

putback_inactive_pages() and move_active_pages_to_lru() are almost
similar, so this patchset merges them ina single function.

This patch (of 4):

The patch moves the calculation from putback_inactive_pages() to
shrink_inactive_list().  This makes putback_inactive_pages() looking more
similar to move_active_pages_to_lru().

To do that, we account activated pages in reclaim_stat::nr_activate.
Since a page may change its LRU type from anon to file cache inside
shrink_page_list() (see ClearPageSwapBacked()), we have to account pages
for the both types.  So, nr_activate becomes an array.

Previously we used nr_activate to account PGACTIVATE events, but now we
account them into pgactivate variable (since they are about number of
pages in general, not about sum of hpage_nr_pages).

Merge tag 'printk-for-5.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Allow state reset of printk_once() calls.

 - Prevent crashes when dereferencing invalid pointers in vsprintf().
   Only the first byte is checked for simplicity.

 - Make vsprintf warnings consistent and inlined.

 - Treewide conversion of obsolete %pf, %pF to %ps, %pF printf
   modifiers.

 - Some clean up of vsprintf and test_printf code.

3b991208b8 mm: fix inactive list balancing between NUMA nodes and cgroups
During !CONFIG_CGROUP reclaim, we expand the inactive list size if it's
thrashing on the node that is about to be reclaimed.  But when cgroups
are enabled, we suddenly ignore the node scope and use the cgroup scope
only.  The result is that pressure bleeds between NUMA nodes depending
on whether cgroups are merely compiled into Linux.  This behavioral
difference is unexpected and undesirable.

When the refault adaptivity of the inactive list was first introduced,
there were no statistics at the lruvec level - the intersection of node
and memcg - so it was better than nothing.

But now that we have that infrastructure, use lruvec_page_state() to
make the list balancing decision always NUMA aware.

f4b7e272b5 mm: remove zone_lru_lock() function, access ->lru_lock directly
We have common pattern to access lru_lock from a page pointer:
	zone_lru_lock(page_zone(page))

Which is silly, because it unfolds to this:
	&NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->node_zones[page_zonenum(page)]->zone_pgdat->lru_lock
while we can simply do
	&NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->lru_lock

Remove zone_lru_lock() function, since it's only complicate things.  Use
'page_pgdat(page)->lru_lock' pattern instead.

060f005f07 mm/vmscan.c: do not allocate duplicate stack variables in shrink_page_list()
On path shrink_inactive_list() ---> shrink_page_list() we allocate stack
variables for the statistics twice.  This is completely useless, and
this just consumes stack much more, then we really need.

The patch kills duplicate stack variables from shrink_page_list(), and
this reduce stack usage and object file size significantly:

Stack usage:
  Before: vmscan.c:1122:22:shrink_page_list	648	static
  After:  vmscan.c:1122:22:shrink_page_list	616	static

2bb0f34fe3 mm: vmscan: do not iterate all mem cgroups for global direct reclaim
In current implementation, both kswapd and direct reclaim has to iterate
all mem cgroups.  It is not a problem before offline mem cgroups could
be iterated.  But, currently with iterating offline mem cgroups, it
could be very time consuming.  In our workloads, we saw over 400K mem
cgroups accumulated in some cases, only a few hundred are online memcgs.
Although kswapd could help out to reduce the number of memcgs, direct
reclaim still get hit with iterating a number of offline memcgs in some
cases.  We experienced the responsiveness problems due to this
occassionally.

A simple test with pref shows it may take around 220ms to iterate 8K
memcgs in direct reclaim:
             dd 13873 [011]   578.542919: vmscan:mm_vmscan_direct_reclaim_begin
             dd 13873 [011]   578.758689: vmscan:mm_vmscan_direct_reclaim_end
So for 400K, it may take around 11 seconds to iterate all memcgs.

Here just break the iteration once it reclaims enough pages as what
memcg direct reclaim does.  This may hurt the fairness among memcgs.
But the cached iterator cookie could help to achieve the fairness more
or less.

a9a238e83f Revert "mm: slowly shrink slabs with a relatively small number of objects"
This reverts commit 172b06c32b ("mm: slowly shrink slabs with a
relatively small number of objects").

This change changes the agressiveness of shrinker reclaim, causing small
cache and low priority reclaim to greatly increase scanning pressure on
small caches.  As a result, light memory pressure has a disproportionate
affect on small caches, and causes large caches to be reclaimed much
faster than previously.

As a result, it greatly perturbs the delicate balance of the VFS caches
(dentry/inode vs file page cache) such that the inode/dentry caches are
reclaimed much, much faster than the page cache and this drives us into
several other caching imbalance related problems.

As such, this is a bad change and needs to be reverted.

[ Needs some massaging to retain the later seekless shrinker
  modifications.]

9a1ea439b1 mm: put_and_wait_on_page_locked() while page is migrated
Waiting on a page migration entry has used wait_on_page_locked() all along
since 2006: but you cannot safely wait_on_page_locked() without holding a
reference to the page, and that extra reference is enough to make
migrate_page_move_mapping() fail with -EAGAIN, when a racing task faults
on the entry before migrate_page_move_mapping() gets there.

And that failure is retried nine times, amplifying the pain when trying to
migrate a popular page.  With a single persistent faulter, migration
sometimes succeeds; with two or three concurrent faulters, success becomes
much less likely (and the more the page was mapped, the worse the overhead
of unmapping and remapping it on each try).

This is especially a problem for memory offlining, where the outer level
retries forever (or until terminated from userspace), because a heavy
refault workload can trigger an endless loop of migration failures.
wait_on_page_locked() is the wrong tool for the job.

David Herrmann (but was he the first?) noticed this issue in 2014:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=140110465608116&w=2

Tim Chen started a thread in August 2017 which appears relevant:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=150275941014915&w=2 where Kan Liang went
on to implicate __migration_entry_wait():
https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=150300268411980&w=2 and the thread ended
up with the v4.14 commits: 2554db9165 ("sched/wait: Break up long wake
list walk") 11a19c7b09 ("sched/wait: Introduce wakeup boomark in
wake_up_page_bit")

Baoquan He reported "Memory hotplug softlock issue" 14 November 2018:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=154217936431300&w=2

We have all assumed that it is essential to hold a page reference while
waiting on a page lock: partly to guarantee that there is still a struct
page when MEMORY_HOTREMOVE is configured, but also to protect against
reuse of the struct page going to someone who then holds the page locked
indefinitely, when the waiter can reasonably expect timely unlocking.

But in fact, so long as wait_on_page_bit_common() does the put_page(), and
is careful not to rely on struct page contents thereafter, there is no
need to hold a reference to the page while waiting on it.  That does mean
that this case cannot go back through the loop: but that's fine for the
page migration case, and even if used more widely, is limited by the "Stop
walking if it's locked" optimization in wake_page_function().

Add interface put_and_wait_on_page_locked() to do this, using "behavior"
enum in place of "lock" arg to wait_on_page_bit_common() to implement it.
No interruptible or killable variant needed yet, but they might follow: I
have a vague notion that reporting -EINTR should take precedence over
return from wait_on_page_bit_common() without knowing the page state, so
arrange it accordingly - but that may be nothing but pedantic.

__migration_entry_wait() still has to take a brief reference to the page,
prior to calling put_and_wait_on_page_locked(): but now that it is dropped
before waiting, the chance of impeding page migration is very much
reduced.  Should we perhaps disable preemption across this?

shrink_page_list()'s __ClearPageLocked(): that was a surprise!  This
survived a lot of testing before that showed up.  PageWaiters may have
been set by wait_on_page_bit_common(), and the reference dropped, just
before shrink_page_list() succeeds in freezing its last page reference: in
such a case, unlock_page() must be used.  Follow the suggestion from
Michal Hocko, just revert a978d6f521 ("mm: unlockless reclaim") now:
that optimization predates PageWaiters, and won't buy much these days; but
we can reinstate it for the !PageWaiters case if anyone notices.

It does raise the question: should vmscan.c's is_page_cache_freeable() and
__remove_mapping() now treat a PageWaiters page as if an extra reference
were held?  Perhaps, but I don't think it matters much, since
shrink_page_list() already had to win its trylock_page(), so waiters are
not very common there: I noticed no difference when trying the bigger
change, and it's surely not needed while put_and_wait_on_page_locked() is

1c30844d2d mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs
An external fragmentation event was previously described as

    When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using
    the mm_page_alloc_extfrag event. If the fallback_order is smaller
    than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered
    an event that will cause external fragmentation issues in the future.

The kernel reduces the probability of such events by increasing the
watermark sizes by calling set_recommended_min_free_kbytes early in the
lifetime of the system.  This works reasonably well in general but if
there are enough sparsely populated pageblocks then the problem can still
occur as enough memory is free overall and kswapd stays asleep.

This patch introduces a watermark_boost_factor sysctl that allows a zone
watermark to be temporarily boosted when an external fragmentation causing
events occurs.  The boosting will stall allocations that would decrease
free memory below the boosted low watermark and kswapd is woken if the
calling context allows to reclaim an amount of memory relative to the size
of the high watermark and the watermark_boost_factor until the boost is
cleared.  When kswapd finishes, it wakes kcompactd at the pageblock order
to clean some of the pageblocks that may have been affected by the
fragmentation event.  kswapd avoids any writeback, slab shrinkage and swap
from reclaim context during this operation to avoid excessive system
disruption in the name of fragmentation avoidance.  Care is taken so that
kswapd will do normal reclaim work if the system is really low on memory.

This was evaluated using the same workloads as "mm, page_alloc: Spread
allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation".

success rate does mean the system is under a lot of pressure.  However, as
the fragmentation events are reduced, it would be expected that the
long-term allocation success rate would be higher.

64e3d12f76 mm, drm/i915: mark pinned shmemfs pages as unevictable
The i915 driver uses shmemfs to allocate backing storage for gem
objects. These shmemfs pages can be pinned (increased ref count) by
shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp(). When a lot of pages are pinned, vmscan
wastes a lot of time scanning these pinned pages. In some extreme case,
all pages in the inactive anon lru are pinned, and only the inactive
anon lru is scanned due to inactive_ratio, the system cannot swap and
invokes the oom-killer. Mark these pinned pages as unevictable to speed
up vmscan.

Export pagevec API check_move_unevictable_pages().

This patch was inspired by Chris Wilson's change [1].

dad4f140ed Merge branch 'xarray' of git://git.infradead.org/users/willy/linux-dax
Pull XArray conversion from Matthew Wilcox:
 "The XArray provides an improved interface to the radix tree data
  structure, providing locking as part of the API, specifying GFP flags
  at allocation time, eliminating preloading, less re-walking the tree,
  more efficient iterations and not exposing RCU-protected pointers to
  its users.

  This patch set

   1. Introduces the XArray implementation

   2. Converts the pagecache to use it

   3. Converts memremap to use it

  The page cache is the most complex and important user of the radix
  tree, so converting it was most important. Converting the memremap
  code removes the only other user of the multiorder code, which allows
  us to remove the radix tree code that supported it.

  I have 40+ followup patches to convert many other users of the radix
  tree over to the XArray, but I'd like to get this part in first. The
  other conversions haven't been in linux-next and aren't suitable for
  applying yet, but you can see them in the xarray-conv branch if you're
  interested"

4b85afbdac mm: zero-seek shrinkers
The page cache and most shrinkable slab caches hold data that has been
read from disk, but there are some caches that only cache CPU work, such
as the dentry and inode caches of procfs and sysfs, as well as the subset
of radix tree nodes that track non-resident page cache.

Currently, all these are shrunk at the same rate: using DEFAULT_SEEKS for
the shrinker's seeks setting tells the reclaim algorithm that for every
two page cache pages scanned it should scan one slab object.

This is a bogus setting.  A virtual inode that required no IO to create is
not twice as valuable as a page cache page; shadow cache entries with
eviction distances beyond the size of memory aren't either.

In most cases, the behavior in practice is still fine.  Such virtual
caches don't tend to grow and assert themselves aggressively, and usually
get picked up before they cause problems.  But there are scenarios where
that's not true.

Our database workloads suffer from two of those.  For one, their file
workingset is several times bigger than available memory, which has the
kernel aggressively create shadow page cache entries for the non-resident
parts of it.  The workingset code does tell the VM that most of these are
expendable, but the VM ends up balancing them 2:1 to cache pages as per
the seeks setting.  This is a huge waste of memory.

These workloads also deal with tens of thousands of open files and use
/proc for introspection, which ends up growing the proc_inode_cache to
absurdly large sizes - again at the cost of valuable cache space, which
isn't a reasonable trade-off, given that proc inodes can be re-created
without involving the disk.

This patch implements a "zero-seek" setting for shrinkers that results in
a target ratio of 0:1 between their objects and IO-backed caches.  This
allows such virtual caches to grow when memory is available (they do
cache/avoid CPU work after all), but effectively disables them as soon as
IO-backed objects are under pressure.

It then switches the shrinkers for procfs and sysfs metadata, as well as
excess page cache shadow nodes, to the new zero-seek setting.

eb414681d5 psi: pressure stall information for CPU, memory, and IO
When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard
to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close
the system is to lockups and OOM kills.  In particular, when machines work
multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency
and throughput on the individual job can be enormous.

In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual
job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way
to quantify resource pressure in the system.

A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that
expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO,
respectively.  Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay
accounting delays:

       cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU
       memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache
       io: tasks are waiting for io completions

These percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages,
and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss
incurred by resource overcommit.  They can also indicate when the system
is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs.

To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU
and samples the time they spend in stall states.  Every 2 seconds, the
samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to
eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of
walltime.  A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s,
1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).

1899ad18c6 mm: workingset: tell cache transitions from workingset thrashing
Refaults happen during transitions between workingsets as well as in-place
thrashing.  Knowing the difference between the two has a range of
applications, including measuring the impact of memory shortage on the
system performance, as well as the ability to smarter balance pressure
between the filesystem cache and the swap-backed workingset.

During workingset transitions, inactive cache refaults and pushes out
established active cache.  When that active cache isn't stale, however,
and also ends up refaulting, that's bonafide thrashing.

Introduce a new page flag that tells on eviction whether the page has been
active or not in its lifetime.  This bit is then stored in the shadow
entry, to classify refaults as transitioning or thrashing.

How many page->flags does this leave us with on 32-bit?

	20 bits are always page flags

	21 if you have an MMU

	23 with the zone bits for DMA, Normal, HighMem, Movable

	29 with the sparsemem section bits

	30 if PAE is enabled

	31 with this patch.

So on 32-bit PAE, that leaves 1 bit for distinguishing two NUMA nodes.  If
that's not enough, the system can switch to discontigmem and re-gain the 6
or 7 sparsemem section bits.

68600f623d mm: don't miss the last page because of round-off error
I've noticed, that dying memory cgroups are often pinned in memory by a
single pagecache page.  Even under moderate memory pressure they sometimes
stayed in such state for a long time.  That looked strange.

My investigation showed that the problem is caused by applying the LRU
pressure balancing math:

  scan = div64_u64(scan * fraction[lru], denominator),

where

  denominator = fraction[anon] + fraction[file] + 1.

Because fraction[lru] is always less than denominator, if the initial scan
size is 1, the result is always 0.

This means the last page is not scanned and has
no chances to be reclaimed.

Fix this by rounding up the result of the division.

In practice this change significantly improves the speed of dying cgroups
reclaim.

b8e57efa2c mm/vmscan.c: fix int overflow in callers of do_shrink_slab()
do_shrink_slab() returns unsigned long value, and the placing into int
variable cuts high bytes off.  Then we compare ret and 0xfffffffe (since
SHRINK_EMPTY is converted to ret type).

Thus a large number of objects returned by do_shrink_slab() may be
interpreted as SHRINK_EMPTY, if low bytes of their value are equal to
0xfffffffe.  Fix that by declaration ret as unsigned long in these
functions.

172b06c32b mm: slowly shrink slabs with a relatively small number of objects
9092c71bb7 ("mm: use sc->priority for slab shrink targets") changed the
way that the target slab pressure is calculated and made it
priority-based:

    delta = freeable >> priority;
    delta *= 4;
    do_div(delta, shrinker->seeks);

The problem is that on a default priority (which is 12) no pressure is
applied at all, if the number of potentially reclaimable objects is less
than 4096 (1<<12).

This causes the last objects on slab caches of no longer used cgroups to
(almost) never get reclaimed.  It's obviously a waste of memory.

It can be especially painful, if these stale objects are holding a
reference to a dying cgroup.  Slab LRU lists are reparented on memcg
offlining, but corresponding objects are still holding a reference to the
dying cgroup.  If we don't scan these objects, the dying cgroup can't go
away.  Most likely, the parent cgroup hasn't any directly charged objects,
only remaining objects from dying children cgroups.  So it can easily hold
a reference to hundreds of dying cgroups.

If there are no big spikes in memory pressure, and new memory cgroups are
created and destroyed periodically, this causes the number of dying
cgroups grow steadily, causing a slow-ish and hard-to-detect memory
"leak".  It's not a real leak, as the memory can be eventually reclaimed,
but it could not happen in a real life at all.  I've seen hosts with a
steadily climbing number of dying cgroups, which doesn't show any signs of
a decline in months, despite the host is loaded with a production
workload.

It is an obvious waste of memory, and to prevent it, let's apply a minimal
pressure even on small shrinker lists.  E.g.  if there are freeable
objects, let's scan at least min(freeable, scan_batch) objects.

This fix significantly improves a chance of a dying cgroup to be
reclaimed, and together with some previous patches stops the steady growth
of the dying cgroups number on some of our hosts.

8df4a44cc4 mm: check shrinker is memcg-aware in register_shrinker_prepared()
There is a sad BUG introduced in patch adding SHRINKER_REGISTERING.
shrinker_idr business is only for memcg-aware shrinkers.  Only such type
of shrinkers have id and they must be finaly installed via idr_replace()
in this function.  For !memcg-aware shrinkers we never initialize
shrinker->id field.

But there are all types of shrinkers passed to idr_replace(), and every
!memcg-aware shrinker with random ID (most probably, its id is 0)
replaces memcg-aware shrinker pointed by the ID in IDR.

This patch fixes the problem.

7e010df53c mm: use special value SHRINKER_REGISTERING instead of list_empty() check
The patch introduces a special value SHRINKER_REGISTERING to use instead
of list_empty() to differ a registering shrinker from unregistered
shrinker.  Why we need that at all?

Shrinker registration is split in two parts.  The first one is
prealloc_shrinker(), which allocates shrinker memory and reserves ID in
shrinker_idr.  This function can fail.  The second is
register_shrinker_prepared(), and it finalizes the registration.  This
function actually makes shrinker available to be used from
shrink_slab(), and it can't fail.

One shrinker may be based on more then one LRU lists.  So, we never
clear the bit in memcg shrinker maps, when (one of) corresponding LRU
list becomes empty, since other LRU lists may be not empty.  See
superblock shrinker for example: it is based on two LRU lists:
s_inode_lru and s_dentry_lru.  We do not want to clear shrinker bit,
when there are no inodes in s_inode_lru, as s_dentry_lru may contain
dentries.

Instead of that, we use special algorithm to detect shrinkers having no
elements at all its LRU lists, and this is made in shrink_slab_memcg().
See the comment in this function for the details.

Also, in shrink_slab_memcg() we clear shrinker bit in the map, when we
meet unregistered shrinker (bit is set, while there is no a shrinker in
IDR).  Otherwise, we would have done that at the moment of shrinker
unregistration for all memcgs (and this looks worse, since iteration
over all memcg may take much time).  Also this would have imposed
restrictions on shrinker unregistration order for its users: they would
have had to guarantee, there are no new elements after
unregister_shrinker() (otherwise, a new added element would have set a
bit).

So, if we meet a set bit in map and no shrinker in IDR when we're
iterating over the map in shrink_slab_memcg(), this means the
corresponding shrinker is unregistered, and we must clear the bit.

Another case is shrinker registration.  We want two things there:

1) do_shrink_slab() can be called only for completely registered
   shrinkers;

2) shrinker internal lists may be populated in any order with
   register_shrinker_prepared() (let's talk on the example with sb).  Both
   of:

  a)list_lru_add(&inode->i_sb->s_inode_lru, &inode->i_lru); [cpu0]
    memcg_set_shrinker_bit();                               [cpu0]
    ...
    register_shrinker_prepared();                           [cpu1]

  and

  b)register_shrinker_prepared();                           [cpu0]
    ...
    list_lru_add(&inode->i_sb->s_inode_lru, &inode->i_lru); [cpu1]
    memcg_set_shrinker_bit();                               [cpu1]

   are legitimate.  We don't want to impose restriction here and to
   force people to use only (b) variant.  We don't want to force people to
   care, there is no elements in LRU lists before the shrinker is
   completely registered.  Internal users of LRU lists and shrinker code
   are two different subsystems, and they have to be closed in themselves
   each other.

In (a) case we have the bit set before shrinker is completely
registered.  We don't want do_shrink_slab() is called at this moment, so
we have to detect such the registering shrinkers.

Before this patch list_empty() (shrinker is not linked to the list)
check was used for that.  So, in (a) there could be a bit set, but we
don't call do_shrink_slab() unless shrinker is linked to the list.  It's
just an indicator, I just overloaded linking to the list.

This was not the best solution, since it's better not to touch the
shrinker memory from shrink_slab_memcg() before it's completely
registered (this also will be useful in the future to make shrink_slab()
completely lockless).

So, this patch introduces better way to detect registering shrinker,
which allows not to dereference shrinker memory.  It's just a ~0UL
value, which we insert into the IDR during ID allocation.  After
shrinker is ready to be used, we insert actual shrinker pointer in the
IDR, and it becomes available to shrink_slab_memcg().

We can't use NULL instead of this new value for this purpose as:
shrink_slab_memcg() already uses NULL to detect unregistered shrinkers,
and we don't want the function sees NULL and clears the bit, otherwise
(a) won't work.

This is the only thing the patch makes: the better way to detect
registering shrinker.  Nothing else this patch makes.

Also this gives a better assembler, but it's minor side of the patch:

Before:
  callq  <idr_find>
  mov    %rax,%r15
  test   %rax,%rax
  je     <shrink_slab_memcg+0x1d5>
  mov    0x20(%rax),%rax
  lea    0x20(%r15),%rdx
  cmp    %rax,%rdx
  je     <shrink_slab_memcg+0xbd>
  mov    0x8(%rsp),%edx
  mov    %r15,%rsi
  lea    0x10(%rsp),%rdi
  callq  <do_shrink_slab>

After:
  callq  <idr_find>

f90280d6b7 mm/vmscan.c: clear shrinker bit if there are no objects related to memcg
To avoid further unneed calls of do_shrink_slab() for shrinkers, which
already do not have any charged objects in a memcg, their bits have to
be cleared.

This patch introduces a lockless mechanism to do that without races
without parallel list lru add.  After do_shrink_slab() returns
SHRINK_EMPTY the first time, we clear the bit and call it once again.
Then we restore the bit, if the new return value is different.

Note, that single smp_mb__after_atomic() in shrink_slab_memcg() covers
two situations:

1)list_lru_add()     shrink_slab_memcg
    list_add_tail()    for_each_set_bit() <--- read bit
                         do_shrink_slab() <--- missed list update (no barrier)
    <MB>                 <MB>
    set_bit()            do_shrink_slab() <--- seen list update

This situation, when the first do_shrink_slab() sees set bit, but it
doesn't see list update (i.e., race with the first element queueing), is
rare.  So we don't add <MB> before the first call of do_shrink_slab()
instead of this to do not slow down generic case.  Also, it's need the
second call as seen in below in (2).

2)list_lru_add()      shrink_slab_memcg()
    list_add_tail()     ...
    set_bit()           ...
  ...                   for_each_set_bit()
  do_shrink_slab()        do_shrink_slab()
    clear_bit()           ...
  ...                     ...
  list_lru_add()          ...
    list_add_tail()       clear_bit()
    <MB>                  <MB>
    set_bit()             do_shrink_slab()

The barriers guarantee that the second do_shrink_slab() in the right
side task sees list update if really cleared the bit.  This case is
drawn in the code comment.

[Results/performance of the patchset]

After the whole patchset applied the below test shows signify increase
of performance:

  $echo 1 > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/memory.use_hierarchy
  $mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct
  $echo 4000M > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct/memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes
      $for i in `seq 0 4000`; do mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct/$i;
			    echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct/$i/cgroup.procs;
			    mkdir -p s/$i; mount -t tmpfs $i s/$i;
			    touch s/$i/file; done

Then, 5 sequential calls of drop caches:

  $time echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

1)Before:

9b996468cf mm: add SHRINK_EMPTY shrinker methods return value
We need to distinguish the situations when shrinker has very small
amount of objects (see vfs_pressure_ratio() called from
super_cache_count()), and when it has no objects at all.  Currently, in
the both of these cases, shrinker::count_objects() returns 0.

The patch introduces new SHRINK_EMPTY return value, which will be used
for "no objects at all" case.  It's is a refactoring mostly, as
SHRINK_EMPTY is replaced by 0 by all callers of do_shrink_slab() in this
patch, and all the magic will happen in further.

aeed1d325d mm/vmscan.c: generalize shrink_slab() calls in shrink_node()
The patch makes shrink_slab() be called for root_mem_cgroup in the same
way as it's called for the rest of cgroups.  This simplifies the logic
and improves the readability.

b0dedc49a2 mm/vmscan.c: iterate only over charged shrinkers during memcg shrink_slab()
Using the preparations made in previous patches, in case of memcg
shrink, we may avoid shrinkers, which are not set in memcg's shrinkers
bitmap.  To do that, we separate iterations over memcg-aware and
!memcg-aware shrinkers, and memcg-aware shrinkers are chosen via
for_each_set_bit() from the bitmap.  In case of big nodes, having many
isolated environments, this gives significant performance growth.  See
next patches for the details.

Note that the patch does not respect to empty memcg shrinkers, since we
never clear the bitmap bits after we set it once.  Their shrinkers will
be called again, with no shrinked objects as result.  This functionality
is provided by next patches.

0a4465d340 mm, memcg: assign memcg-aware shrinkers bitmap to memcg
Imagine a big node with many cpus, memory cgroups and containers.  Let
we have 200 containers, every container has 10 mounts, and 10 cgroups.
All container tasks don't touch foreign containers mounts.  If there is
intensive pages write, and global reclaim happens, a writing task has to
iterate over all memcgs to shrink slab, before it's able to go to
shrink_page_list().

Iteration over all the memcg slabs is very expensive: the task has to
visit 200 * 10 = 2000 shrinkers for every memcg, and since there are
2000 memcgs, the total calls are 2000 * 2000 = 4000000.

So, the shrinker makes 4 million do_shrink_slab() calls just to try to
isolate SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages in one of the actively writing memcg via
shrink_page_list().  I've observed a node spending almost 100% in
kernel, making useless iteration over already shrinked slab.

This patch adds bitmap of memcg-aware shrinkers to memcg.  The size of
the bitmap depends on bitmap_nr_ids, and during memcg life it's
maintained to be enough to fit bitmap_nr_ids shrinkers.  Every bit in
the map is related to corresponding shrinker id.

Next patches will maintain set bit only for really charged memcg.  This
will allow shrink_slab() to increase its performance in significant way.
See the last patch for the numbers.

b4c2b231c3 mm: assign id to every memcg-aware shrinker
Introduce shrinker::id number, which is used to enumerate memcg-aware
shrinkers.  The number start from 0, and the code tries to maintain it
as small as possible.

This will be used to represent a memcg-aware shrinkers in memcg
shrinkers map.

Since all memcg-aware shrinkers are based on list_lru, which is
per-memcg in case of !CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM only, the new functionality will
be under this config option.

bb451fdf3d mm/vmscan.c: condense scan_control
Use smaller scan_control fields for order, priority, and reclaim_idx.
Convert fields from int => s8.  All easily fit within a byte:

 - allocation order range: 0..MAX_ORDER(64?)
 - priority range:         0..12(DEF_PRIORITY)
 - reclaim_idx range:      0..6(__MAX_NR_ZONES)

Since 6538b8ea88 ("x86_64: expand kernel stack to 16K") x86_64 stack
overflows are not an issue.  But it's inefficient to use ints.

Use s8 (signed byte) rather than u8 to allow for loops like:
	do {
		...
	} while (--sc.priority >= 0);

Add BUILD_BUG_ON to verify that s8 is capable of storing max values.

This reduces sizeof(struct scan_control):
 - 96 => 80 bytes (x86_64)
 - 68 => 56 bytes (i386)

scan_control structure field order is changed to utilize padding.  After
this patch there is 1 bit of scan_control padding.

akpm: makes my vmscan.o's .text 572 bytes smaller as well.

bf8d5d52ff memcg: introduce memory.min
Memory controller implements the memory.low best-effort memory
protection mechanism, which works perfectly in many cases and allows
protecting working sets of important workloads from sudden reclaim.

But its semantics has a significant limitation: it works only as long as
there is a supply of reclaimable memory.  This makes it pretty useless
against any sort of slow memory leaks or memory usage increases.  This
is especially true for swapless systems.  If swap is enabled, memory
soft protection effectively postpones problems, allowing a leaking
application to fill all swap area, which makes no sense.  The only
effective way to guarantee the memory protection in this case is to
invoke the OOM killer.

It's possible to handle this case in userspace by reacting on MEMCG_LOW
events; but there is still a place for a fail-safe in-kernel mechanism
to provide stronger guarantees.

This patch introduces the memory.min interface for cgroup v2 memory
controller.  It works very similarly to memory.low (sharing the same
hierarchical behavior), except that it's not disabled if there is no
more reclaimable memory in the system.

If cgroup is not populated, its memory.min is ignored, because otherwise
even the OOM killer wouldn't be able to reclaim the protected memory,
and the system can stall.

93781325da lockdep: fix fs_reclaim annotation
While revisiting my Btrfs swapfile series [1], I introduced a situation
in which reclaim would lock i_rwsem, and even though the swapon() path
clearly made GFP_KERNEL allocations while holding i_rwsem, I got no
complaints from lockdep.  It turns out that the rework of the fs_reclaim
annotation was broken: if the current task has PF_MEMALLOC set, we don't
acquire the dummy fs_reclaim lock, but when reclaiming we always check
this _after_ we've just set the PF_MEMALLOC flag.  In most cases, we can
fix this by moving the fs_reclaim_{acquire,release}() outside of the
memalloc_noreclaim_{save,restore}(), althought kswapd is slightly
different.  After applying this, I got the expected lockdep splats.

145e1a71e0 mm: fix the NULL mapping case in __isolate_lru_page()
George Boole would have noticed a slight error in 4.16 commit
69d763fc6d ("mm: pin address_space before dereferencing it while
isolating an LRU page").  Fix it, to match both the comment above it,
and the original behaviour.

Although anonymous pages are not marked PageDirty at first, we have an
old habit of calling SetPageDirty when a page is removed from swap
cache: so there's a category of ex-swap pages that are easily
migratable, but were inadvertently excluded from compaction's async
migration in 4.16.

8e04944f0e mm,vmscan: Allow preallocating memory for register_shrinker().
syzbot is catching so many bugs triggered by commit 9ee332d99e
("sget(): handle failures of register_shrinker()"). That commit expected
that calling kill_sb() from deactivate_locked_super() without successful
fill_super() is safe, but the reality was different; some callers assign
attributes which are needed for kill_sb() after sget() succeeds.

For example, [1] is a report where sb->s_mode (which seems to be either
FMODE_READ | FMODE_EXCL | FMODE_WRITE or FMODE_READ | FMODE_EXCL) is not
assigned unless sget() succeeds. But it does not worth complicate sget()
so that register_shrinker() failure path can safely call
kill_block_super() via kill_sb(). Making alloc_super() fail if memory
allocation for register_shrinker() failed is much simpler. Let's avoid
calling deactivate_locked_super() from sget_userns() by preallocating
memory for the shrinker and making register_shrinker() in sget_userns()
never fail.

e27be240df mm: memcg: make sure memory.events is uptodate when waking pollers
Commit a983b5ebee ("mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in
memory.stat reporting") added per-cpu drift to all memory cgroup stats
and events shown in memory.stat and memory.events.

For memory.stat this is acceptable.  But memory.events issues file
notifications, and somebody polling the file for changes will be
confused when the counters in it are unchanged after a wakeup.

Luckily, the events in memory.events - MEMCG_LOW, MEMCG_HIGH, MEMCG_MAX,
MEMCG_OOM - are sufficiently rare and high-level that we don't need
per-cpu buffering for them: MEMCG_HIGH and MEMCG_MAX would be the most
frequent, but they're counting invocations of reclaim, which is a
complex operation that touches many shared cachelines.

This splits memory.events from the generic VM events and tracks them in
their own, unbuffered atomic counters.  That's also cleaner, as it
eliminates the ugly enum nesting of VM and cgroup events.

d51d1e6450 mm, vmscan, tracing: use pointer to reclaim_stat struct in trace event
The trace event trace_mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive() currently has 12
parameters! Seven of them are from the reclaim_stat structure.  This
structure is currently local to mm/vmscan.c.  By moving it to the global
vmstat.h header, we can also reference it from the vmscan tracepoints.
In moving it, it brings down the overhead of passing so many arguments
to the trace event.  In the future, we may limit the number of arguments
that a trace event may pass (ideally just 6, but more realistically it
may be 8).

Before this patch, the code to call the trace event is this:

e3c1ac586c mm/vmscan: don't mess with pgdat->flags in memcg reclaim
memcg reclaim may alter pgdat->flags based on the state of LRU lists in
cgroup and its children.  PGDAT_WRITEBACK may force kswapd to sleep
congested_wait(), PGDAT_DIRTY may force kswapd to writeback filesystem
pages.  But the worst here is PGDAT_CONGESTED, since it may force all
direct reclaims to stall in wait_iff_congested().  Note that only kswapd
have powers to clear any of these bits.  This might just never happen if
cgroup limits configured that way.  So all direct reclaims will stall as
long as we have some congested bdi in the system.

Leave all pgdat->flags manipulations to kswapd.  kswapd scans the whole
pgdat, only kswapd can clear pgdat->flags once node is balanced, thus
it's reasonable to leave all decisions about node state to kswapd.

Why only kswapd? Why not allow to global direct reclaim change these
flags? It is because currently only kswapd can clear these flags.  I'm
less worried about the case when PGDAT_CONGESTED falsely not set, and
more worried about the case when it falsely set.  If direct reclaimer
sets PGDAT_CONGESTED, do we have guarantee that after the congestion
problem is sorted out, kswapd will be woken up and clear the flag? It
seems like there is no such guarantee.  E.g.  direct reclaimers may
eventually balance pgdat and kswapd simply won't wake up (see
wakeup_kswapd()).

Moving pgdat->flags manipulation to kswapd, means that cgroup2 recalim
now loses its congestion throttling mechanism.  Add per-cgroup
congestion state and throttle cgroup2 reclaimers if memcg is in
congestion state.

Currently there is no need in per-cgroup PGDAT_WRITEBACK and PGDAT_DIRTY
bits since they alter only kswapd behavior.

The problem could be easily demonstrated by creating heavy congestion in
one cgroup:

    echo "+memory" > /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control
    mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/congester
    echo 512M > /sys/fs/cgroup/congester/memory.max
    echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/congester/cgroup.procs
    /* generate a lot of diry data on slow HDD */
    while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb/zeroes bs=1M count=1024; done &
    ....
    while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb/zeroes bs=1M count=1024; done &

and some job in another cgroup:

    mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/victim
    echo 128M > /sys/fs/cgroup/victim/memory.max

    # time cat /dev/sda > /dev/null
    real    10m15.054s
    user    0m0.487s
    sys     1m8.505s

According to the tracepoint in wait_iff_congested(), the 'cat' spent 50%
of the time sleeping there.

With the patch, cat don't waste time anymore:

    # time cat /dev/sda > /dev/null
    real    5m32.911s
    user    0m0.411s
    sys     0m56.664s

d108c7721f mm/vmscan: don't change pgdat state on base of a single LRU list state
We have separate LRU list for each memory cgroup.  Memory reclaim
iterates over cgroups and calls shrink_inactive_list() every inactive
LRU list.  Based on the state of a single LRU shrink_inactive_list() may
flag the whole node as dirty,congested or under writeback.  This is
obviously wrong and hurtful.  It's especially hurtful when we have
possibly small congested cgroup in system.  Than *all* direct reclaims
waste time by sleeping in wait_iff_congested().  And the more memcgs in
the system we have the longer memory allocation stall is, because
wait_iff_congested() called on each lru-list scan.

Sum reclaim stats across all visited LRUs on node and flag node as
dirty, congested or under writeback based on that sum.  Also call
congestion_wait(), wait_iff_congested() once per pgdat scan, instead of
once per lru-list scan.

This only fixes the problem for global reclaim case.  Per-cgroup reclaim
may alter global pgdat flags too, which is wrong.  But that is separate
issue and will be addressed in the next patch.

This change will not have any effect on a systems with all workload
concentrated in a single cgroup.

5ecd9d403a mm, page_alloc: wakeup kcompactd even if kswapd cannot free more memory
Kswapd will not wakeup if per-zone watermarks are not failing or if too
many previous attempts at background reclaim have failed.

This can be true if there is a lot of free memory available.  For high-
order allocations, kswapd is responsible for waking up kcompactd for
background compaction.  If the zone is not below its watermarks or
reclaim has recently failed (lots of free memory, nothing left to
reclaim), kcompactd does not get woken up.

When __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is not allowed, allow kcompactd to still be
woken up even if kswapd will not reclaim.  This allows high-order
allocations, such as thp, to still trigger background compaction even
when the zone has an abundance of free memory.

the comment is no longer true.  If some do_shrink_slab() call takes
unexpectedly long (root cause of stall is currently unknown) when
register_shrinker()/unregister_shrinker() is pending, trying to drop
caches via /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches could become infinite cond_resched()
loop if many mem_cgroup are defined.  For safety, let's not pretend
forward progress.

e92bb4dd96 mm: fix races between address_space dereference and free in page_evicatable
When page_mapping() is called and the mapping is dereferenced in
page_evicatable() through shrink_active_list(), it is possible for the
inode to be truncated and the embedded address space to be freed at the
same time.  This may lead to the following race.

CPU1                                                CPU2

truncate(inode)                                     shrink_active_list()
  ...                                                 page_evictable(page)
  truncate_inode_page(mapping, page);
    delete_from_page_cache(page)
      spin_lock_irqsave(&mapping->tree_lock, flags);
        __delete_from_page_cache(page, NULL)
          page_cache_tree_delete(..)
            ...                                         mapping = page_mapping(page);
            page->mapping = NULL;
            ...
      spin_unlock_irqrestore(&mapping->tree_lock, flags);
      page_cache_free_page(mapping, page)
        put_page(page)
          if (put_page_testzero(page)) -> false
- inode now has no pages and can be freed including embedded address_space

                                                        mapping_unevictable(mapping)
							  test_bit(AS_UNEVICTABLE, &mapping->flags);
- we've dereferenced mapping which is potentially already free.

Similar race exists between swap cache freeing and page_evicatable()
too.

The address_space in inode and swap cache will be freed after a RCU
grace period.  So the races are fixed via enclosing the page_mapping()
and address_space usage in rcu_read_lock/unlock().  Some comments are
added in code to make it clear what is protected by the RCU read lock.

1c610d5f93 mm/vmscan: wake up flushers for legacy cgroups too
Commit 726d061fbd ("mm: vmscan: kick flushers when we encounter dirty
pages on the LRU") added flusher invocation to shrink_inactive_list()
when many dirty pages on the LRU are encountered.

However, shrink_inactive_list() doesn't wake up flushers for legacy
cgroup reclaim, so the next commit bbef938429 ("mm: vmscan: remove old
flusher wakeup from direct reclaim path") removed the only source of
flusher's wake up in legacy mem cgroup reclaim path.

This leads to premature OOM if there is too many dirty pages in cgroup:

9c4e6b1a70 mm, mlock, vmscan: no more skipping pagevecs
When a thread mlocks an address space backed either by file pages which
are currently not present in memory or swapped out anon pages (not in
swapcache), a new page is allocated and added to the local pagevec
(lru_add_pvec), I/O is triggered and the thread then sleeps on the page.
On I/O completion, the thread can wake on a different CPU, the mlock
syscall will then sets the PageMlocked() bit of the page but will not be
able to put that page in unevictable LRU as the page is on the pagevec
of a different CPU.  Even on drain, that page will go to evictable LRU
because the PageMlocked() bit is not checked on pagevec drain.

The page will eventually go to right LRU on reclaim but the LRU stats
will remain skewed for a long time.

This patch puts all the pages, even unevictable, to the pagevecs and on
the drain, the pages will be added on their LRUs correctly by checking
their evictability.  This resolves the mlocked pages on pagevec of other
CPUs issue because when those pagevecs will be drained, the mlocked file
pages will go to unevictable LRU.  Also this makes the race with munlock
easier to resolve because the pagevec drains happen in LRU lock.

However there is still one place which makes a page evictable and does
PageLRU check on that page without LRU lock and needs special attention.
TestClearPageMlocked() and isolate_lru_page() in clear_page_mlock().

	#0: __pagevec_lru_add_fn	#1: clear_page_mlock

	SetPageLRU()			if (!TestClearPageMlocked())
					  return
	smp_mb() // <--required
					// inside does PageLRU
	if (!PageMlocked())		if (isolate_lru_page())
	  move to evictable LRU		  putback_lru_page()
	else
	  move to unevictable LRU

In '#1', TestClearPageMlocked() provides full memory barrier semantics
and thus the PageLRU check (inside isolate_lru_page) can not be
reordered before it.

In '#0', without explicit memory barrier, the PageMlocked() check can be
reordered before SetPageLRU().  If that happens, '#0' can put a page in
unevictable LRU and '#1' might have just cleared the Mlocked bit of that
page but fails to isolate as PageLRU fails as '#0' still hasn't set
PageLRU bit of that page.  That page will be stranded on the unevictable
LRU.

There is one (good) side effect though.  Without this patch, the pages
allocated for System V shared memory segment are added to evictable LRUs
even after shmctl(SHM_LOCK) on that segment.  This patch will correctly
put such pages to unevictable LRU.

69d763fc6d mm: pin address_space before dereferencing it while isolating an LRU page
Minchan Kim asked the following question -- what locks protects
address_space destroying when race happens between inode trauncation and
__isolate_lru_page? Jan Kara clarified by describing the race as follows

CPU1                                            CPU2

truncate(inode)                                 __isolate_lru_page()
  ...
  truncate_inode_page(mapping, page);
    delete_from_page_cache(page)
      spin_lock_irqsave(&mapping->tree_lock, flags);
        __delete_from_page_cache(page, NULL)
          page_cache_tree_delete(..)
            ...                                   mapping = page_mapping(page);
            page->mapping = NULL;
            ...
      spin_unlock_irqrestore(&mapping->tree_lock, flags);
      page_cache_free_page(mapping, page)
        put_page(page)
          if (put_page_testzero(page)) -> false
- inode now has no pages and can be freed including embedded address_space

                                                  if (mapping && !mapping->a_ops->migratepage)
- we've dereferenced mapping which is potentially already free.

The race is theoretically possible but unlikely.  Before the
delete_from_page_cache, truncate_cleanup_page is called so the page is
likely to be !PageDirty or PageWriteback which gets skipped by the only
caller that checks the mappping in __isolate_lru_page.  Even if the race
occurs, a substantial amount of work has to happen during a tiny window
with no preemption but it could potentially be done using a virtual
machine to artifically slow one CPU or halt it during the critical
window.

This patch should eliminate the race with truncation by try-locking the
page before derefencing mapping and aborting if the lock was not
acquired.  There was a suggestion from Huang Ying to use RCU as a
side-effect to prevent mapping being freed.  However, I do not like the
solution as it's an unconventional means of preserving a mapping and
it's not a context where rcu_read_lock is obviously protecting rcu data.
