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.

fbbb602e40 mm: deactivations shouldn't bias the LRU balance 
Operations like MADV_FREE, FADV_DONTNEED etc.  currently move any affected
active pages to the inactive list to accelerate their reclaim (good) but
also steer page reclaim toward that LRU type, or away from the other
(bad).

The reason why this is undesirable is that such operations are not part of
the regular page aging cycle, and rather a fluke that doesn't say much
about the remaining pages on that list; they might all be in heavy use,
and once the chunk of easy victims has been purged, the VM continues to
apply elevated pressure on those remaining hot pages.  The other LRU,
meanwhile, might have easily reclaimable pages, and there was never a need
to steer away from it in the first place.

As the previous patch outlined, we should focus on recording actually
observed cost to steer the balance rather than speculating about the
potential value of one LRU list over the other.  In that spirit, leave
explicitely deactivated pages to the LRU algorithm to pick up, and let
rotations decide which list is the easiest to reclaim.

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.

9682468747 mm: remove use-once cache bias from LRU balancing 
When the splitlru patches divided page cache and swap-backed pages into
separate LRU lists, the pressure balance between the lists was biased to
account for the fact that streaming IO can cause memory pressure with a
flood of pages that are used only once.  New page cache additions would
tip the balance toward the file LRU, and repeat access would neutralize
that bias again.  This ensured that page reclaim would always go for
used-once cache first.

Since e986850598 ("mm,vmscan: only evict file pages when we have
plenty"), page reclaim generally skips over swap-backed memory entirely as
long as there is used-once cache present, and will apply the LRU balancing
when only repeatedly accessed cache pages are left - at which point the
previous use-once bias will have been neutralized.  This makes the
use-once cache balancing bias unnecessary.

34e58cac6d mm: workingset: let cache workingset challenge anon 
We activate cache refaults with reuse distances in pages smaller than the
size of the total cache.  This allows new pages with competitive access
frequencies to establish themselves, as well as challenge and potentially
displace pages on the active list that have gone cold.

However, that assumes that active cache can only replace other active
cache in a competition for the hottest memory.  This is not a great
default assumption.  The page cache might be thrashing while there are
enough completely cold and unused anonymous pages sitting around that we'd
only have to write to swap once to stop all IO from the cache.

Activate cache refaults when their reuse distance in pages is smaller than
the total userspace workingset, including anonymous pages.

Reclaim can still decide how to balance pressure among the two LRUs
depending on the IO situation.  Rotational drives will prefer avoiding
random IO from swap and go harder after cache.  But fundamentally, hot
cache should be able to compete with anon pages for a place in RAM.

c843966c55 mm: allow swappiness that prefers reclaiming anon over the file workingset

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.

5df741963d mm: fix LRU balancing effect of new transparent huge pages 
The reclaim code that balances between swapping and cache reclaim tries to
predict likely reuse based on in-memory reference patterns alone.  This
works in many cases, but when it fails it cannot detect when the cache is
thrashing pathologically, or when we're in the middle of a swap storm.

The high seek cost of rotational drives under which the algorithm evolved
also meant that mistakes could quickly result in lockups from too
aggressive swapping (which is predominantly random IO).  As a result, the
balancing code has been tuned over time to a point where it mostly goes
for page cache and defers swapping until the VM is under significant
memory pressure.

The resulting strategy doesn't make optimal caching decisions - where
optimal is the least amount of IO required to execute the workload.

The proliferation of fast random IO devices such as SSDs, in-memory
compression such as zswap, and persistent memory technologies on the
horizon, has made this undesirable behavior very noticable: Even in the
presence of large amounts of cold anonymous memory and a capable swap
device, the VM refuses to even seriously scan these pages, and can leave
the page cache thrashing needlessly.

This series sets out to address this.  Since commit ("a528910e12ec mm:
thrash detection-based file cache sizing") we have exact tracking of
refault IO - the ultimate cost of reclaiming the wrong pages.  This allows
us to use an IO cost based balancing model that is more aggressive about
scanning anonymous memory when the cache is thrashing, while being able to
avoid unnecessary swap storms.

These patches base the LRU balance on the rate of refaults on each list,
times the relative IO cost between swap device and filesystem
(swappiness), in order to optimize reclaim for least IO cost incurred.

	History

I floated these changes in 2016.  At the time they were incomplete and
full of workarounds due to a lack of infrastructure in the reclaim code:
We didn't have PageWorkingset, we didn't have hierarchical cgroup
statistics, and problems with the cgroup swap controller.  As swapping
wasn't too high a priority then, the patches stalled out.  With all
dependencies in place now, here we are again with much cleaner,
feature-complete patches.

I kept the acks for patches that stayed materially the same :-)

Below is a series of test results that demonstrate certain problematic
behavior of the current code, as well as showcase the new code's more
predictable and appropriate balancing decisions.

	Test #1: No convergence

This test shows an edge case where the VM currently doesn't converge at
all on a new file workingset with a stale anon/tmpfs set.

The test sets up a cold anon set the size of 3/4 RAM, then tries to
establish a new file set half the size of RAM (flat access pattern).

The vanilla kernel refuses to even scan anon pages and never converges.
The file set is perpetually served from the filesystem.

The first test kernel is with the series up to the workingset patch
applied.  This allows thrashing page cache to challenge the anonymous
workingset.  The VM then scans the lists based on the current
scanned/rotated balancing algorithm.  It converges on a stable state where
all cold anon pages are pushed out and the fileset is served entirely from
cache:

			    noconverge/5.7-rc5-mm	noconverge/5.7-rc5-mm-workingset
Scanned			417719308.00 (    +0.00%)		64091155.00 (   -84.66%)
Reclaimed		417711094.00 (    +0.00%)		61640308.00 (   -85.24%)
Reclaim efficiency %	      100.00 (    +0.00%)		      96.18 (    -3.78%)
Scanned file		417719308.00 (    +0.00%)		59211118.00 (   -85.83%)
Scanned anon			0.00 (    +0.00%)	         4880037.00 (          )
Swapouts			0.00 (    +0.00%)	         2439957.00 (          )
Swapins				0.00 (    +0.00%)		     257.00 (          )
Refaults		415246605.00 (    +0.00%)		59183722.00 (   -85.75%)
Restore refaults		0.00 (    +0.00%)	        54988252.00 (          )

The second test kernel is with the full patch series applied, which
replaces the scanned/rotated ratios with refault/swapin rate-based
balancing.  It evicts the cold anon pages more aggressively in the
presence of a thrashing cache and the absence of swapins, and so converges
with about 60% of the IO and reclaim activity:

Restore refaults		54988252.00 (    +0.00%)		28480430.00 (   -48.21%)

We're triggering this case in host sideloading scenarios: When a host's
primary workload is not saturating the machine (primary load is usually
driven by user activity), we can optimistically sideload a batch job; if
user activity picks up and the primary workload needs the whole host
during this time, we freeze the sideload and rely on it getting pushed to
swap.  Frequently that swapping doesn't happen and the completely inactive
sideload simply stays resident while the expanding primary worklad is
struggling to gain ground.

	Test #2: Kernel build

This test is a a kernel build that is slightly memory-restricted (make -j4
inside a 400M cgroup).

Despite the very aggressive swapping of cold anon pages in test #1, this
test shows that the new kernel carefully balances swap against cache
refaults when both the file and the cache set are pressured.

It shows the patched kernel to be slightly better at finding the coldest
memory from the combined anon and file set to evict under pressure.  The
result is lower aggregate reclaim and paging activity:

z				    5.7-rc5-mm	5.7-rc5-mm-lrubalance

Total paging IO		433167.00 (    +0.00%)	352701.00 (   -18.58%)

	Test #3: Overload

This next test is not about performance, but rather about the
predictability of the algorithm.  The current balancing behavior doesn't
always lead to comprehensible results, which makes performance analysis
and parameter tuning (swappiness e.g.) very difficult.

The test shows the balancing behavior under equivalent anon and file
input.  Anon and file sets are created of equal size (3/4 RAM), have the
same access patterns (a hot-cold gradient), and synchronized access rates.
Swappiness is raised from the default of 60 to 100 to indicate equal IO
cost between swap and cache.

With the vanilla balancing code, anon scans make up around 9% of the total
pages scanned, or a ~1:10 ratio.  This is a surprisingly skewed ratio, and
it's an outcome that is hard to explain given the input parameters to the
VM.

The new balancing model targets a 1:2 balance: All else being equal,
reclaiming a file page costs one page IO - the refault; reclaiming an anon
page costs two IOs - the swapout and the swapin.  In the test we observe a
~1:3 balance.

The scanned and paging IO numbers indicate that the anon LRU algorithm we
have in place right now does a slightly worse job at picking the coldest
pages compared to the file algorithm.  There is ongoing work to improve
this, like Joonsoo's anon workingset patches; however, it's difficult to
compare the two aging strategies when the balancing between them is
behaving unintuitively.

The slightly less efficient anon reclaim results in a deviation from the
optimal 1:2 scan ratio we would like to see here - however, 1:3 is much
closer to what we'd want to see in this test than the vanilla kernel's
aging of 10+ cache pages for every anonymous one:

			overload-100/5.7-rc5-mm-workingset	overload-100/5.7-rc5-mm-lrubalance-realfile

	Test #4: Parallel IO

It's important to note that these patches only affect the situation where
the kernel has to reclaim workingset memory, which is usually a
transitionary period.  The vast majority of page reclaim occuring in a
system is from trimming the ever-expanding page cache.

These patches don't affect cache trimming behavior.  We never swap as long
as we only have use-once cache moving through the file LRU, we only
consider swapping when the cache is actively thrashing.

The following test demonstrates this.  It has an anon workingset that
takes up half of RAM and then writes a file that is twice the size of RAM
out to disk.

As the cache is funneled through the inactive file list, no anon pages are
scanned (aside from apparently some background noise of 10 pages):

					  5.7-rc5-mm		          5.7-rc5-mm-lrubalance
Scanned			    10714722.00 (    +0.00%)		       10723445.00 (    +0.08%)
Reclaimed		    10703596.00 (    +0.00%)		       10712166.00 (    +0.08%)
Reclaim efficiency %		  99.90 (    +0.00%)			     99.89 (    -0.00%)
Scanned file		    10714722.00 (    +0.00%)		       10723435.00 (    +0.08%)
Scanned anon			   0.00 (    +0.00%)			     10.00 (          )
Swapouts			   0.00 (    +0.00%)			      7.00 (          )
Swapins				   0.00 (    +0.00%)			      0.00 (    +0.00%)
Refaults			  92.00 (    +0.00%)			     41.00 (   -54.84%)
Restore refaults		   0.00 (    +0.00%)			      0.00 (    +0.00%)
Total paging IO			  92.00 (    +0.00%)			     48.00 (   -47.31%)

This patch (of 14):

Currently, THP are counted as single pages until they are split right
before being swapped out.  However, at that point the VM is already in the
middle of reclaim, and adjusting the LRU balance then is useless.

Always account THP by the number of basepages, and remove the fixup from
the splitting path.

a0b5b4147f mm: memcontrol: update page->mem_cgroup stability rules 
The previous patches have simplified the access rules around
page->mem_cgroup somewhat:

1. We never change page->mem_cgroup while the page is isolated by
   somebody else.  This was by far the biggest exception to our rules and
   it didn't stop at lock_page() or lock_page_memcg().

2. We charge pages before they get put into page tables now, so the
   somewhat fishy rule about "can be in page table as long as it's still
   locked" is now gone and boiled down to having an exclusive reference to
   the page.

Document the new rules.  Any of the following will stabilize the
page->mem_cgroup association:

- the page lock
- LRU isolation
- lock_page_memcg()
- exclusive access to the page

4c6355b25e mm: memcontrol: charge swapin pages on instantiation 
Right now, users that are otherwise memory controlled can easily escape
their containment and allocate significant amounts of memory that they're
not being charged for.  That's because swap readahead pages are not being
charged until somebody actually faults them into their page table.  This
can be exploited with MADV_WILLNEED, which triggers arbitrary readahead
allocations without charging the pages.

There are additional problems with the delayed charging of swap pages:

1. To implement refault/workingset detection for anonymous pages, we
   need to have a target LRU available at swapin time, but the LRU is not
   determinable until the page has been charged.

2. To implement per-cgroup LRU locking, we need page->mem_cgroup to be
   stable when the page is isolated from the LRU; otherwise, the locks
   change under us.  But swapcache gets charged after it's already on the
   LRU, and even if we cannot isolate it ourselves (since charging is not
   exactly optional).

The previous patch ensured we always maintain cgroup ownership records for
swap pages.  This patch moves the swapcache charging point from the fault
handler to swapin time to fix all of the above problems.

2d1c498072 mm: memcontrol: make swap tracking an integral part of memory control 
Without swap page tracking, users that are otherwise memory controlled can
easily escape their containment and allocate significant amounts of memory
that they're not being charged for.  That's because swap does readahead,
but without the cgroup records of who owned the page at swapout, readahead
pages don't get charged until somebody actually faults them into their
page table and we can identify an owner task.  This can be maliciously
exploited with MADV_WILLNEED, which triggers arbitrary readahead
allocations without charging the pages.

Make swap swap page tracking an integral part of memcg and remove the
Kconfig options.  In the first place, it was only made configurable to
allow users to save some memory.  But the overhead of tracking cgroup
ownership per swap page is minimal - 2 byte per page, or 512k per 1G of
swap, or 0.04%.  Saving that at the expense of broken containment
semantics is not something we should present as a coequal option.

The swapaccount=0 boot option will continue to exist, and it will
eliminate the page_counter overhead and hide the swap control files, but
it won't disable swap slot ownership tracking.

This patch makes sure we always have the cgroup records at swapin time;
the next patch will fix the actual bug by charging readahead swap pages at
swapin time rather than at fault time.

- Remove the really_do_swap_account flag that stores the boot option

  this indirection is/was necessary. Use do_swap_account directly.

be5d0a74c6 mm: memcontrol: switch to native NR_ANON_MAPPED counter 
Memcg maintains a private MEMCG_RSS counter.  This divergence from the
generic VM accounting means unnecessary code overhead, and creates a
dependency for memcg that page->mapping is set up at the time of charging,
so that page types can be told apart.

Convert the generic accounting sites to mod_lruvec_page_state and friends
to maintain the per-cgroup vmstat counter of NR_ANON_MAPPED.  We use
lock_page_memcg() to stabilize page->mem_cgroup during rmap changes, the
same way we do for NR_FILE_MAPPED.

With the previous patch removing MEMCG_CACHE and the private NR_SHMEM
counter, this patch finally eliminates the need to have page->mapping set
up at charge time.  However, we need to have page->mem_cgroup set up by
the time rmap runs and does the accounting, so switch the commit and the
rmap callbacks around.

0d1c20722a mm: memcontrol: switch to native NR_FILE_PAGES and NR_SHMEM counters 
Memcg maintains private MEMCG_CACHE and NR_SHMEM counters.  This
divergence from the generic VM accounting means unnecessary code overhead,
and creates a dependency for memcg that page->mapping is set up at the
time of charging, so that page types can be told apart.

Convert the generic accounting sites to mod_lruvec_page_state and friends
to maintain the per-cgroup vmstat counters of NR_FILE_PAGES and NR_SHMEM.
The page is already locked in these places, so page->mem_cgroup is stable;
we only need minimal tweaks of two mem_cgroup_migrate() calls to ensure
it's set up in time.

Then replace MEMCG_CACHE with NR_FILE_PAGES and delete the private
NR_SHMEM accounting sites.

9da7b52168 mm: memcontrol: prepare cgroup vmstat infrastructure for native anon counters 
Anonymous compound pages can be mapped by ptes, which means that if we
want to track NR_MAPPED_ANON, NR_ANON_THPS on a per-cgroup basis, we have
to be prepared to see tail pages in our accounting functions.

Make mod_lruvec_page_state() and lock_page_memcg() deal with tail pages
correctly, namely by redirecting to the head page which has the
page->mem_cgroup set up.

3fea5a499d mm: memcontrol: convert page cache to a new mem_cgroup_charge() API 
The try/commit/cancel protocol that memcg uses dates back to when pages
used to be uncharged upon removal from the page cache, and thus couldn't
be committed before the insertion had succeeded.  Nowadays, pages are
uncharged when they are physically freed; it doesn't matter whether the
insertion was successful or not.  For the page cache, the transaction
dance has become unnecessary.

Introduce a mem_cgroup_charge() function that simply charges a newly
allocated page to a cgroup and sets up page->mem_cgroup in one single
step.  If the insertion fails, the caller doesn't have to do anything but
free/put the page.

Then switch the page cache over to this new API.

Subsequent patches will also convert anon pages, but it needs a bit more
prep work.  Right now, memcg depends on page->mapping being already set up
at the time of charging, so that it can maintain its own MEMCG_CACHE and
MEMCG_RSS counters.  For anon, page->mapping is set under the same pte
lock under which the page is publishd, so a single charge point that can
block doesn't work there just yet.

The following prep patches will replace the private memcg counters with
the generic vmstat counters, thus removing the page->mapping dependency,
then complete the transition to the new single-point charge API and delete
the old transactional scheme.

6caa6a0703 mm: memcontrol: move out cgroup swaprate throttling 
The cgroup swaprate throttling is about matching new anon allocations to
the rate of available IO when that is being throttled.  It's the io
controller hooking into the VM, rather than a memory controller thing.

Rename mem_cgroup_throttle_swaprate() to cgroup_throttle_swaprate(), and
drop the @memcg argument which is only used to check whether the preceding
page charge has succeeded and the fault is proceeding.

We could decouple the call from mem_cgroup_try_charge() here as well, but
that would cause unnecessary churn: the following patches convert all
callsites to a new charge API and we'll decouple as we go along.

14235ab360 mm: shmem: remove rare optimization when swapin races with hole punching 
Commit 215c02bc33 ("tmpfs: fix shmem_getpage_gfp() VM_BUG_ON")
recognized that hole punching can race with swapin and removed the
BUG_ON() for a truncated entry from the swapin path.

The patch also added a swapcache deletion to optimize this rare case:
Since swapin has the page locked, and free_swap_and_cache() merely
trylocks, this situation can leave the page stranded in swapcache.
Usually, page reclaim picks up stale swapcache pages, and the race can
happen at any other time when the page is locked.  (The same happens for
non-shmem swapin racing with page table zapping.) The thinking here was:
we already observed the race and we have the page locked, we may as well
do the cleanup instead of waiting for reclaim.

However, this optimization complicates the next patch which moves the
cgroup charging code around.  As this is just a minor speedup for a race
condition that is so rare that it required a fuzzer to trigger the
original BUG_ON(), it's no longer worth the complications.

3fba69a56e mm: memcontrol: drop @compound parameter from memcg charging API 
The memcg charging API carries a boolean @compound parameter that tells
whether the page we're dealing with is a hugepage.
mem_cgroup_commit_charge() has another boolean @lrucare that indicates
whether the page needs LRU locking or not while charging.  The majority of
callsites know those parameters at compile time, which results in a lot of
naked "false, false" argument lists.  This makes for cryptic code and is a
breeding ground for subtle mistakes.

Thankfully, the huge page state can be inferred from the page itself and
doesn't need to be passed along.  This is safe because charging completes
before the page is published and somebody may split it.

Simplify the callsites by removing @compound, and let memcg infer the
state by using hpage_nr_pages() unconditionally.  That function does
PageTransHuge() to identify huge pages, which also helpfully asserts that
nobody passes in tail pages by accident.

The following patches will introduce a new charging API, best not to carry
over unnecessary weight.

abb242f571 mm: memcontrol: fix stat-corrupting race in charge moving 
The move_lock is a per-memcg lock, but the VM accounting code that needs
to acquire it comes from the page and follows page->mem_cgroup under RCU
protection.  That means that the page becomes unlocked not when we drop
the move_lock, but when we update page->mem_cgroup.  And that assignment
doesn't imply any memory ordering.  If that pointer write gets reordered
against the reads of the page state - page_mapped, PageDirty etc.  the
state may change while we rely on it being stable and we can end up
corrupting the counters.

Place an SMP memory barrier to make sure we're done with all page state by
the time the new page->mem_cgroup becomes visible.

Also replace the open-coded move_lock with a lock_page_memcg() to make it
more obvious what we're serializing against.

f4129ea359 mm: fix NUMA node file count error in replace_page_cache() 
Patch series "mm: memcontrol: charge swapin pages on instantiation", v2.

This patch series reworks memcg to charge swapin pages directly at
swapin time, rather than at fault time, which may be much later, or
not happen at all.

Changes in version 2:
- prevent double charges on pre-allocated hugepages in khugepaged
- leave shmem swapcache when charging fails to avoid double IO (Joonsoo)
- fix temporary accounting bug by switching rmap<->commit (Joonsoo)
- fix double swap charge bug in cgroup1/cgroup2 code gating
- simplify swapin error checking (Joonsoo)
- mm: memcontrol: document the new swap control behavior (Alex)
- review tags

The delayed swapin charging scheme we have right now causes problems:

- Alex's per-cgroup lru_lock patches rely on pages that have been
  isolated from the LRU to have a stable page->mem_cgroup; otherwise
  the lock may change underneath him. Swapcache pages are charged only
  after they are added to the LRU, and charging doesn't follow the LRU
  isolation protocol.

- Joonsoo's anon workingset patches need a suitable LRU at the time
  the page enters the swap cache and displaces the non-resident
  info. But the correct LRU is only available after charging.

- It's a containment hole / DoS vector. Users can trigger arbitrarily
  large swap readahead using MADV_WILLNEED. The memory is never
  charged unless somebody actually touches it.

- It complicates the page->mem_cgroup stabilization rules

In order to charge pages directly at swapin time, the memcg code base
needs to be prepared, and several overdue cleanups become a necessity:

To charge pages at swapin time, we need to always have cgroup
ownership tracking of swap records. We also cannot rely on
page->mapping to tell apart page types at charge time, because that's
only set up during a page fault.

To eliminate the page->mapping dependency, memcg needs to ditch its
private page type counters (MEMCG_CACHE, MEMCG_RSS, NR_SHMEM) in favor
of the generic vmstat counters and accounting sites, such as
NR_FILE_PAGES, NR_ANON_MAPPED etc.

To switch to generic vmstat counters, the charge sequence must be
adjusted such that page->mem_cgroup is set up by the time these
counters are modified.

The series is structured as follows:

1. Bug fixes
2. Decoupling charging from rmap
3. Swap controller integration into memcg
4. Direct swapin charging

This patch (of 19):

When replacing one page with another one in the cache, we have to decrease
the file count of the old page's NUMA node and increase the one of the new
NUMA node, otherwise the old node leaks the count and the new node
eventually underflows its counter.

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.

8ac0b81ab1 mm/hugetlb: avoid unnecessary check on pud and pmd entry in huge_pte_offset 
When huge_pte_offset() is called, the parameter sz can only be PUD_SIZE or
PMD_SIZE.  If sz is PUD_SIZE and code can reach pud, then *pud must be
none, or normal hugetlb entry, or non-present (migration or hwpoisoned)
hugetlb entry, and we can directly return pud.  When sz is PMD_SIZE, pud
must be none or present, and if code can reach pmd, we can directly return
pmd.

So after this patch the code is simplified by first check on the parameter
sz, and avoid unnecessary checks in current code.  Same semantics of
existing code is maintained.

More details about relevant commits:
commit 9b19df292c ("mm/hugetlb.c: make huge_pte_offset() consistent

[1]: this is necessary, return NULL for sz == PMD_SIZE;
[2]: if sz == PUD_SIZE, all valid values of pud entry will cause return;
[3]: dead code, sz != PMD_SIZE never true;
[4]: all valid values of pmd entry will cause return;
[5]: dead code, because of check in [4].

Now, this patch combines [1] and [2] for pud, and combines [3], [4] and
[5] for pmd, so avoid unnecessary checks.

I don't try to catch any invalid values in page table entry, as that will
be checked by caller and avoid extra branch in this function.  Also no
assert on sz must equal PUD_SIZE or PMD_SIZE, since this function only
call for hugetlb mapping.

For commit 3c1d7e6ccb ("mm/hugetlb: fix a addressing exception caused by
huge_pte_offset"), since we don't read the entry more than once now,
variable pud_entry and pmd_entry are not needed.

c2833a5bf7 hugetlbfs: fix changes to command line processing 
Previously, a check for hugepages_supported was added before processing
hugetlb command line parameters.  On some architectures such as powerpc,
hugepages_supported() is not set to true until after command line
processing.  Therefore, no hugetlb command line parameters would be
accepted.

Remove the additional checks for hugepages_supported.  In hugetlb_init,
print a warning if !hugepages_supported and command line parameters were
specified.

282f421438 hugetlbfs: clean up command line processing 
With all hugetlb page processing done in a single file clean up code.

- Make code match desired semantics
  - Update documentation with semantics
- Make all warnings and errors messages start with 'HugeTLB:'.
- Consistently name command line parsing routines.
- Warn if !hugepages_supported() and command line parameters have
  been specified.
- Add comments to code
  - Describe some of the subtle interactions
  - Describe semantics of command line arguments

This patch also fixes issues with implicitly setting the number of
gigantic huge pages to preallocate.  Previously on X86 command line,

        hugepages=2 default_hugepagesz=1G

would result in zero 1G pages being preallocated and,

        # grep HugePages_Total /proc/meminfo
        HugePages_Total:       0
        # sysctl -a | grep nr_hugepages
        vm.nr_hugepages = 2
        vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy = 2
        # cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
        2

After this patch 2 gigantic pages will be preallocated and all the proc,
sysfs, sysctl and meminfo files will accurately reflect this.

To address the issue with gigantic pages, a small change in behavior was
made to command line processing.  Previously the command line,

        hugepages=128 default_hugepagesz=2M hugepagesz=2M hugepages=256

would result in the allocation of 256 2M huge pages.  The value 128 would
be ignored without any warning.  After this patch, 128 2M pages will be
allocated and a warning message will be displayed indicating the value of
256 is ignored.  This change in behavior is required because allocation of
implicitly specified gigantic pages must be done when the
default_hugepagesz= is encountered for gigantic pages.  Previously the
code waited until later in the boot process (hugetlb_init), to allocate
pages of default size.  However the bootmem allocator required for
gigantic allocations is not available at this time.

3823783088 hugetlbfs: remove hugetlb_add_hstate() warning for existing hstate 
hugetlb_add_hstate() prints a warning if the hstate already exists.  This
was originally done as part of kernel command line parsing.  If
'hugepagesz=' was specified more than once, the warning

	pr_warn("hugepagesz= specified twice, ignoring\n");

would be printed.

Some architectures want to enable all huge page sizes.  They would call
hugetlb_add_hstate for all supported sizes.  However, this was done after
command line processing and as a result hstates could have already been
created for some sizes.  To make sure no warning were printed, there would
often be code like:

	if (!size_to_hstate(size)
		hugetlb_add_hstate(ilog2(size) - PAGE_SHIFT)

The only time we want to print the warning is as the result of command
line processing.  So, remove the warning from hugetlb_add_hstate and add
it to the single arch independent routine processing "hugepagesz=".  After
this, calls to size_to_hstate() in arch specific code can be removed and
hugetlb_add_hstate can be called without worrying about warning messages.

359f25443a hugetlbfs: move hugepagesz= parsing to arch independent code 
Now that architectures provide arch_hugetlb_valid_size(), parsing of
"hugepagesz=" can be done in architecture independent code.  Create a
single routine to handle hugepagesz= parsing and remove all arch specific
routines.  We can also remove the interface hugetlb_bad_size() as this is
no longer used outside arch independent code.

This also provides consistent behavior of hugetlbfs command line options.
The hugepagesz= option should only be specified once for a specific size,
but some architectures allow multiple instances.  This appears to be more
of an oversight when code was added by some architectures to set up ALL
huge pages sizes.

ae94da8981 hugetlbfs: add arch_hugetlb_valid_size 
Patch series "Clean up hugetlb boot command line processing", v4.

Longpeng(Mike) reported a weird message from hugetlb command line
processing and proposed a solution [1].  While the proposed patch does
address the specific issue, there are other related issues in command line
processing.  As hugetlbfs evolved, updates to command line processing have
been made to meet immediate needs and not necessarily in a coordinated
manner.  The result is that some processing is done in arch specific code,
some is done in arch independent code and coordination is problematic.
Semantics can vary between architectures.

The patch series does the following:
- Define arch specific arch_hugetlb_valid_size routine used to validate
  passed huge page sizes.
- Move hugepagesz= command line parsing out of arch specific code and into
  an arch independent routine.
- Clean up command line processing to follow desired semantics and
  document those semantics.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200305033014.1152-1-longpeng2@huawei.com

This patch (of 3):

The architecture independent routine hugetlb_default_setup sets up the
default huge pages size.  It has no way to verify if the passed value is
valid, so it accepts it and attempts to validate at a later time.  This
requires undocumented cooperation between the arch specific and arch
independent code.

For architectures that support more than one huge page size, provide a
routine arch_hugetlb_valid_size to validate a huge page size.
hugetlb_default_setup can use this to validate passed values.

arch_hugetlb_valid_size will also be used in a subsequent patch to move
processing of the "hugepagesz=" in arch specific code to a common routine
in arch independent code.

3917c80280 thp: change CoW semantics for anon-THP 
Currently we have different copy-on-write semantics for anon- and
file-THP.  For anon-THP we try to allocate huge page on the write fault,
but on file-THP we split PMD and allocate 4k page.

Arguably, file-THP semantics is more desirable: we don't necessary want to
unshare full PMD range from the parent on the first access.  This is the
primary reason THP is unusable for some workloads, like Redis.

The original THP refcounting didn't allow to have PTE-mapped compound
pages, so we had no options, but to allocate huge page on CoW (with
fallback to 512 4k pages).

The current refcounting doesn't have such limitations and we can cut a lot
of complex code out of fault path.

khugepaged is now able to recover THP from such ranges if the
configuration allows.

The page can be included into collapse as long as it doesn't have extra
pins (from GUP or otherwise).

Logic to check the refcount is moved to a separate function.  For pages in
swap cache, add compound_nr(page) to the expected refcount, in order to
handle the compound page case.  This is in preparation for the following
patch.

VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() was removed from __collapse_huge_page_copy() as the
invariant it checks is no longer valid: the source can be mapped multiple
times now.

ae2c5d8042 khugepaged: drain LRU add pagevec after swapin 
collapse_huge_page() tries to swap in pages that are part of the PMD
range.  Just swapped in page goes though LRU add cache.  The cache gets
extra reference on the page.

The extra reference can lead to the collapse fail: the following
__collapse_huge_page_isolate() would check refcount and abort collapse
seeing unexpected refcount.

The fix is to drain local LRU add cache in
__collapse_huge_page_swapin() if we successfully swapped in any pages.
