It is possible for some platforms, such as powerpc to set HPAGE_SHIFT to
0 to indicate huge pages not supported.
When this is the case, hugetlbfs could be disabled during boot time:
hugetlbfs: disabling because there are no supported hugepage sizes
Then in dissolve_free_huge_pages(), order is kept maximum (64 for
64bits), and the for loop below won't end: for (pfn = start_pfn; pfn <
end_pfn; pfn += 1 << order)
As suggested by Naoya, below fix checks hugepages_supported() before
calling dissolve_free_huge_pages().

__GFP_NO_KSWAPD, once the way to determine if an allocation was for thp
or not, has gained more users. Their use is not necessarily wrong, they
are trying to do a memory allocation that can easily fail without
disturbing kswapd, so the bit has gained additional usecases.
This restructures the check to determine whether MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT
should be used for memory compaction in the page allocator. Rather than
testing solely for __GFP_NO_KSWAPD, test for all bits that must be set
for thp allocations.
This also moves the check to be done only after the page allocator is
aborted for deferred or contended memory compaction since setting
migration_mode for this case is pointless.

With memoryless node support being worked on, it's possible that for
optimizations that a node may not have a non-NULL zonelist. When
CONFIG_NUMA is enabled and node 0 is memoryless, this means the zonelist
for first_online_node may become NULL.
The oom killer requires a zonelist that includes all memory zones for
the sysrq trigger and pagefault out of memory handler.
Ensure that a non-NULL zonelist is always passed to the oom killer.

This is because the above commands probe higher memory after online a
section with online_movable, which causes ZONE_HIGHMEM (or ZONE_NORMAL
for systems without ZONE_HIGHMEM) overlaps ZONE_MOVABLE.
After the second online_movable, the problem can be observed from

This series of patches solve the problem by checking ZONE_MOVABLE when
choosing zone for new memory. If new memory is inside or higher than

This patch (of 7):
Introduce zone_for_memory() in arch independent code for
arch_add_memory() use.
Many arch_add_memory() function simply selects ZONE_HIGHMEM or
ZONE_NORMAL and add new memory into it. However, with the existance of
ZONE_MOVABLE, the selection method should be carefully considered: if
new, higher memory is added after ZONE_MOVABLE is setup, the default
zone and ZONE_MOVABLE may overlap each other.
should_add_memory_movable() checks the status of ZONE_MOVABLE. If it
has already contain memory, compare the address of new memory and
movable memory. If new memory is higher than movable, it should be
added into ZONE_MOVABLE instead of default zone.

Commit 9f1b868a13 ("mm: thp: khugepaged: add policy for finding target
node") improved the previous khugepaged logic which allocated a
transparent hugepages from the node of the first page being collapsed.
However, it is still possible to collapse pages to remote memory which
may suffer from additional access latency. With the current policy, it
is possible that 255 pages (with PAGE_SHIFT == 12) will be collapsed
remotely if the majority are allocated from that node.
When zone_reclaim_mode is enabled, it means the VM should make every
attempt to allocate locally to prevent NUMA performance degradation. In
this case, we do not want to collapse hugepages to remote nodes that
would suffer from increased access latency. Thus, when
zone_reclaim_mode is enabled, only allow collapsing to nodes with
RECLAIM_DISTANCE or less.
There is no functional change for systems that disable
zone_reclaim_mode.

The fair zone allocation policy round-robins allocations between zones
within a node to avoid age inversion problems during reclaim. If the
first allocation fails, the batch counts are reset and a second attempt
made before entering the slow path.
One assumption made with this scheme is that batches expire at roughly
the same time and the resets each time are justified. This assumption
does not hold when zones reach their low watermark as the batches will
be consumed at uneven rates. Allocation failure due to watermark
depletion result in additional zonelist scans for the reset and another
watermark check before hitting the slowpath.
On UMA, the benefit is negligible -- around 0.25%. On 4-socket NUMA
machine it's variable due to the variability of measuring overhead with
the vmstat changes. The system CPU overhead comparison looks like

The purpose of numa_zonelist_order=zone is to preserve lower zones for
use with 32-bit devices. If locality is preferred then the
numa_zonelist_order=node policy should be used.
Unfortunately, the fair zone allocation policy overrides this by
skipping zones on remote nodes until the lower one is found. While this
makes sense from a page aging and performance perspective, it breaks the
expected zonelist policy. This patch restores the expected behaviour
for zone-list ordering.

zone->pages_scanned is a write-intensive cache line during page reclaim

take advantage of the per-cpu updates and do not update it in the free
paths unless necessary.
On a small UMA machine running tiobench the difference is marginal. On
a 4-node machine the overhead is more noticable. Note that automatic
NUMA balancing was disabled for this test as otherwise the system CPU
overhead is unpredictable.

The arrangement of struct zone has changed over time and now it has
reached the point where there is some inappropriate sharing going on.
On x86-64 for example
o The zone->node field is shared with the zone lock and zone->node is
accessed frequently from the page allocator due to the fair zone
allocation policy.
o span_seqlock is almost never used by shares a line with free_area
o Some zone statistics share a cache line with the LRU lock so
reclaim-intensive and allocator-intensive workloads can bounce the cache
line on a stat update
This patch rearranges struct zone to put read-only and read-mostly
fields together and then splits the page allocator intensive fields, the
zone statistics and the page reclaim intensive fields into their own
cache lines. Note that the type of lowmem_reserve changes due to the
watermark calculations being signed and avoiding a signed/unsigned
conversion there.
On the test configuration I used the overall size of struct zone shrunk
by one cache line. On smaller machines, this is not likely to be
noticable. However, on a 4-node NUMA machine running tiobench the
system CPU overhead is reduced by this patch.

This was formerly the series "Improve sequential read throughput" which
noted some major differences in performance of tiobench since 3.0.
While there are a number of factors, two that dominated were the
introduction of the fair zone allocation policy and changes to CFQ.
The behaviour of fair zone allocation policy makes more sense than
tiobench as a benchmark and CFQ defaults were not changed due to
insufficient benchmarking.
This series is what's left. It's one functional fix to the fair zone
allocation policy when used on NUMA machines and a reduction of overhead
in general. tiobench was used for the comparison despite its flaws as
an IO benchmark as in this case we are primarily interested in the
overhead of page allocator and page reclaim activity.
On UMA, it makes little difference to overhead

Currently map_vm_area() takes (struct page *** pages) as third argument,
and after mapping, it moves (*pages) to point to (*pages +
nr_mappped_pages).
It looks like this kind of increment is useless to its caller these
days. The callers don't care about the increments and actually they're
trying to avoid this by passing another copy to map_vm_area().
The caller can always guarantee all the pages can be mapped into vm_area
as specified in first argument and the caller only cares about whether
map_vm_area() fails or not.
This patch cleans up the pointer movement in map_vm_area() and updates
its callers accordingly.

Three different interfaces alter the maximum number of hugepages for an
hstate:
- /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages for global number of hugepages of the default
hstate,
- /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-X/nr_hugepages for global number of
hugepages for a specific hstate, and
- /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-X/nr_hugepages/mempolicy for number of
hugepages for a specific hstate over the set of allowed nodes.
Generalize the code so that a single function handles all of these
writes instead of duplicating the code in two different functions.
This decreases the number of lines of code, but also reduces the size of
.text by about half a percent since set_max_huge_pages() can be inlined.

When a hwpoison page is locked it could change state due to parallel
modifications. The original compound page can be torn down and then
this 4k page becomes part of a differently-size compound page is is a
standalone regular page.
Check after the lock if the page is still the same compound page.
We could go back, grab the new head page and try again but it should be
quite rare, so I thought this was safest. A retry loop would be more
difficult to test and may have more side effects.
The hwpoison code by design only tries to handle cases that are
reasonably common in workloads, as visible in page-flags.
I'm not really that concerned about handling this (likely rare case),
just not crashing on it.

Historically, we exported shared pages to userspace via sysinfo(2)
sharedram and /proc/meminfo's "MemShared" fields. With the advent of
tmpfs, from kernel v2.4 onward, that old way for accounting shared mem
was deemed inaccurate and we started to export a hard-coded 0 for
sysinfo.sharedram. Later on, during the 2.6 timeframe, "MemShared" got
re-introduced to /proc/meminfo re-branded as "Shmem", but we're still
reporting sysinfo.sharedmem as that old hard-coded zero, which makes the
"shared memory" report inconsistent across interfaces.
This patch leverages the addition of explicit accounting for pages used
by shmem/tmpfs -- "4b02108 mm: oom analysis: add shmem vmstat" -- in
order to make the users of sysinfo(2) and si_meminfo*() friends aware of
that vmstat entry and make them report it consistently across the
interfaces, as well to make sysinfo(2) returned data consistent with our
current API documentation states.

Page reclaim for a higher-order page runs until compaction is ready,
then aborts and signals this situation through the return value of
shrink_zones(). This is an oddly specific signal to encode in the
return value of shrink_zones(), though, and can be quite confusing.
Introduce sc->compaction_ready and signal the compactability of the
zones out-of-band to free up the return value of shrink_zones() for
actual zone reclaimability.

shrink_zones() has a special branch to skip the all_unreclaimable()
check during hibernation, because a frozen kswapd can't mark a zone
unreclaimable.
But ever since commit 6e543d5780 ("mm: vmscan: fix
do_try_to_free_pages() livelock"), determining a zone to be
unreclaimable is done by directly looking at its scan history and no
longer relies on kswapd setting the per-zone flag.
Remove this branch and let shrink_zones() check the reclaimability of
the target zones regardless of hibernation state.

Due to an old optimization to keep expensive res_counter changes at a
minimum, the root_mem_cgroup res_counter is never charged; there is no
limit at that level anyway, and any statistics can be generated on
demand by summing up the counters of all other cgroups.
However, with per-cpu charge caches, res_counter operations do not even
show up in profiles anymore, so this optimization is no longer
necessary.
Remove it to simplify the code.

When mem_cgroup_try_charge() returns -EINTR, it bypassed the charge to
the root memcg. But move precharging does not catch this and treats
this case as if no charge had happened, thus leaking a charge against
root. Because of an old optimization, the root memcg's res_counter is
not actually charged right now, but it's still an imbalance and
subsequent patches will charge the root memcg again.
Catch those bypasses to the root memcg and properly cancel them before
giving up the move.

The move precharge function does some baroque things: it tries raw
res_counter charging of the entire amount first, and then falls back to
a loop of one-by-one charges, with checks for pending signals and
cond_resched() batching.
Just use mem_cgroup_try_charge() without __GFP_WAIT for the first bulk
charge attempt. In the one-by-one loop, remove the signal check (this
is already checked in try_charge), and simply call cond_resched() after
every charge - it's not that expensive.

For the page allocator, __GFP_NORETRY implies that no OOM should be
triggered, whereas memcg has an explicit parameter to disable OOM.
The only callsites that want OOM disabled are THP charges and charge
moving. THP already uses __GFP_NORETRY and charge moving can use it as
well - one full reclaim cycle should be plenty. Switch it over, then
remove the OOM parameter.

Transparent huge page charges prefer falling back to regular pages
rather than spending a lot of time in direct reclaim.
Desired reclaim behavior is usually declared in the gfp mask, but THP
charges use GFP_KERNEL and then rely on the fact that OOM is disabled
for THP charges, and that OOM-disabled charges don't retry reclaim.
Needless to say, this is anything but obvious and quite error prone.
Convert THP charges to use GFP_TRANSHUGE instead, which implies
__GFP_NORETRY, to indicate the low-latency requirement.

The charging path currently starts out with OOM condition checks when
OOM is the rarest possible case.
Rearrange this code to run OOM/task dying checks only after trying the
percpu charge and the res_counter charge and bail out before entering
reclaim. Attempting a charge does not hurt an (oom-)killed task as much
as every charge attempt having to check OOM conditions. Also, only
check __GFP_NOFAIL when the charge would actually fail.

These patches rework memcg charge lifetime to integrate more naturally
with the lifetime of user pages. This drastically simplifies the code
and reduces charging and uncharging overhead. The most expensive part
of charging and uncharging is the page_cgroup bit spinlock, which is
removed entirely after this series.
Here are the top-10 profile entries of a stress test that reads a 128G
sparse file on a freshly booted box, without even a dedicated cgroup
(i.e. executing in the root memcg). Before:
