Currently folio->_deferred_list is used to keep track of partially_mapped
folios that are going to be split under memory pressure. In the next
patch, all THPs that are faulted in and collapsed by khugepaged are also
going to be tracked using _deferred_list.
This patch introduces a pageflag to be able to distinguish between
partially mapped folios and others in the deferred_list at split time in
deferred_split_scan. Its needed as __folio_remove_rmap decrements
_mapcount, _large_mapcount and _entire_mapcount, hence it won't be
possible to distinguish between partially mapped folios and others in
deferred_split_scan.
Eventhough it introduces an extra flag to track if the folio is partially
mapped, there is no functional change intended with this patch and the
flag is not useful in this patch itself, it will become useful in the next
patch when _deferred_list has non partially mapped folios.

The ability to observe the demotion and promotion decisions made by the
kernel on a per-cgroup basis is important for monitoring and tuning
containerized workloads on machines equipped with tiered memory.
Different containers in the system may experience drastically different
memory tiering actions that cannot be distinguished from the global
counters alone.
For example, a container running a workload that has a much hotter memory
accesses will likely see more promotions and fewer demotions, potentially
depriving a colocated container of top tier memory to such an extent that
its performance degrades unacceptably.
For another example, some containers may exhibit longer periods between
data reuse, causing much more numa_hint_faults than numa_pages_migrated.
In this case, tuning hot_threshold_ms may be appropriate, but the signal
can easily be lost if only global counters are available.
In the long term, we hope to introduce per-cgroup control of promotion and
demotion actions to implement memory placement policies in tiering.
This patch set adds seven counters to memory.stat in a cgroup:
numa_pages_migrated, numa_pte_updates, numa_hint_faults, pgdemote_kswapd,
pgdemote_khugepaged, pgdemote_direct and pgpromote_success. pgdemote_*
and pgpromote_success are also available in memory.numa_stat.
count_memcg_events_mm() is added to count multiple event occurrences at
once, and get_mem_cgroup_from_folio() is added because we need to get a
reference to the memcg of a folio before it's migrated to track
numa_pages_migrated. The accounting of PGDEMOTE_* is moved to
shrink_inactive_list() before being changed to per-cgroup.

Shmem will support large folio allocation [1] [2] to get a better
performance, however, the memory reclaim still splits the precious large
folios when trying to swap out shmem, which may lead to the memory
fragmentation issue and can not take advantage of the large folio for
shmeme.
Moreover, the swap code already supports for swapping out large folio
without split, hence this patch set supports the large folio swap out for
shmem.
Note the i915_gem_shmem driver still need to be split when swapping, thus
add a new flag 'split_large_folio' for writeback_control to indicate
spliting the large folio.

The Meta prod is seeing large amount of stalls in memcg stats flush from
the memcg reclaim code path. At the moment, this specific callsite is
doing a synchronous memcg stats flush. The rstat flush is an expensive
and time consuming operation, so concurrent relaimers will busywait on the
lock potentially for a long time. Actually this issue is not unique to
Meta and has been observed by Cloudflare [1] as well. For the Cloudflare
case, the stalls were due to contention between kswapd threads running on
their 8 numa node machines which does not make sense as rstat flush is
global and flush from one kswapd thread should be sufficient for all.
Simply replace the synchronous flush with the ratelimited one.
One may raise a concern on potentially using 2 sec stale (at worst) stats
for heuristics like desirable inactive:active ratio and preferring
inactive file pages over anon pages but these specific heuristics do not
require very precise stats and also are ignored under severe memory
pressure.
More specifically for this code path, the stats are needed for two
specific heuristics:
1. Deactivate LRUs
2. Cache trim mode
The deactivate LRUs heuristic is to maintain a desirable inactive:active
ratio of the LRUs. The specific stats needed are WORKINGSET_ACTIVATE* and
the hierarchical LRU size. The WORKINGSET_ACTIVATE* is needed to check if
there is a refault since last snapshot and the LRU size are needed for the
desirable ratio between inactive and active LRUs. See the table below on
how the desirable ratio is calculated.
/* total target max
* memory ratio inactive
* -------------------------------------
* 10MB 1 5MB
* 100MB 1 50MB
* 1GB 3 250MB
* 10GB 10 0.9GB
* 100GB 31 3GB
* 1TB 101 10GB
* 10TB 320 32GB
*/
The desirable ratio only changes at the boundary of 1 GiB, 10 GiB, 100
GiB, 1 TiB and 10 TiB. There is no need for the precise and accurate LRU
size information to calculate this ratio. In addition, if deactivation is
skipped for some LRU, the kernel will force deactive on the severe memory
pressure situation.
For the cache trim mode, inactive file LRU size is read and the kernel
scales it down based on the reclaim iteration (file >> sc->priority) and
only checks if it is zero or not. Again precise information is not
needed.
This patch has been running on Meta fleet for several months and we have
not observed any issues. Please note that MGLRU is not impacted by this
issue at all as it avoids rstat flushing completely.

When non-leaf pmd accessed bits are available, MGLRU page table walks can
clear the non-leaf pmd accessed bit and ignore the accessed bit on the pte
if it's on a different node, skipping a generation update as well. If
another scan occurs on the same node as said skipped pte.
The non-leaf pmd accessed bit might remain cleared and the pte accessed
bits won't be checked. While this is sufficient for reclaim-driven aging,
where the goal is to select a reasonably cold page, the access can be
missed when aging proactively for workingset estimation of a node/memcg.
In more detail, get_pfn_folio returns NULL if the folio's nid != node
under scanning, so the page table walk skips processing of said pte. Now
the pmd_young flag on this pmd is cleared, and if none of the pte's are
accessed before another scan occurs on the folio's node, the pmd_young
check fails and the pte accessed bit is skipped.
Since force_scan disables various other optimizations, we check force_scan
to ignore the non-leaf pmd accessed bit.

The releasing process of the non-shared anonymous folio mapped solely by
an exiting process may go through two flows: 1) the anonymous folio is
firstly is swaped-out into swapspace and transformed into a swp_entry in
shrink_folio_list; 2) then the swp_entry is released in the process
exiting flow. This will result in the high cpu load of releasing a
non-shared anonymous folio mapped solely by an exiting process.
When the low system memory and the exiting process exist at the same time,
it will be likely to happen, because the non-shared anonymous folio mapped
solely by an exiting process may be reclaimed by shrink_folio_list.
This patch is that shrink skips the non-shared anonymous folio solely
mapped by an exting process and this folio is only released directly in
the process exiting flow, which will save swap-out time and alleviate the
load of the process exiting.
Barry provided some effectiveness testing in [1]. "I observed that
this patch effectively skipped 6114 folios (either 4KB or 64KB mTHP),
potentially reducing the swap-out by up to 92MB (97,300,480 bytes)
during the process exit. The working set size is 256MB."

/proc/vmstat currently shows the number of node_reclaim() failures when
vm.zone_reclaim_mode is set appropriately. It would be convenient to have
the number of successes right next to zone_reclaim_failed (similar to
compaction and migration).
While just a trivially addition to the vmstat file. It was helpful during
benchmarking to not have to probe node_reclaim() to observe the
success/failure ratio.

not eligible").
lruvec->lru_lock is highly contended and is held when calling
isolate_lru_folios. If the lru has a large number of CMA folios
consecutively, while the allocation type requested is not MIGRATE_MOVABLE,
isolate_lru_folios can hold the lock for a very long time while it skips
those. For FIO workload, ~150million order=0 folios were skipped to
isolate a few ZONE_DMA folios [1]. This can cause lockups [1] and high
memory pressure for extended periods of time [2].
Remove skipping CMA for MGLRU as well, as it was introduced in sort_folio
for the same resaon as 5da226dbfc.

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
"This adds getrandom() support to the vDSO.
First, it adds a new kind of mapping to mmap(2), MAP_DROPPABLE, which
lets the kernel zero out pages anytime under memory pressure, which
enables allocating memory that never gets swapped to disk but also
doesn't count as being mlocked.
Then, the vDSO implementation of getrandom() is introduced in a
generic manner and hooked into random.c.
Next, this is implemented on x86. (Also, though it's not ready for
this pull, somebody has begun an arm64 implementation already)
Finally, two vDSO selftests are added.
There are also two housekeeping cleanup commits"
* tag 'random-6.11-rc1-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random:
MAINTAINERS: add random.h headers to RNG subsection
random: note that RNDGETPOOL was removed in 2.6.9-rc2
selftests/vDSO: add tests for vgetrandom
x86: vdso: Wire up getrandom() vDSO implementation
random: introduce generic vDSO getrandom() implementation
mm: add MAP_DROPPABLE for designating always lazily freeable mappings
The vDSO getrandom() implementation works with a buffer allocated with a
new system call that has certain requirements:
- It shouldn't be written to core dumps.
* Easy: VM_DONTDUMP.
- It should be zeroed on fork.
* Easy: VM_WIPEONFORK.
- It shouldn't be written to swap.
* Uh-oh: mlock is rlimited.
* Uh-oh: mlock isn't inherited by forks.
- It shouldn't reserve actual memory, but it also shouldn't crash when
page faulting in memory if none is available
* Uh-oh: VM_NORESERVE means segfaults.
It turns out that the vDSO getrandom() function has three really nice
characteristics that we can exploit to solve this problem:
1) Due to being wiped during fork(), the vDSO code is already robust to
having the contents of the pages it reads zeroed out midway through
the function's execution.
2) In the absolute worst case of whatever contingency we're coding for,
we have the option to fallback to the getrandom() syscall, and
everything is fine.
3) The buffers the function uses are only ever useful for a maximum of
60 seconds -- a sort of cache, rather than a long term allocation.
These characteristics mean that we can introduce VM_DROPPABLE, which
has the following semantics:
a) It never is written out to swap.
b) Under memory pressure, mm can just drop the pages (so that they're
zero when read back again).
c) It is inherited by fork.
d) It doesn't count against the mlock budget, since nothing is locked.
e) If there's not enough memory to service a page fault, it's not fatal,
and no signal is sent.
This way, allocations used by vDSO getrandom() can use:
VM_DROPPABLE | VM_DONTDUMP | VM_WIPEONFORK | VM_NORESERVE
And there will be no problem with OOMing, crashing on overcommitment,
using memory when not in use, not wiping on fork(), coredumps, or
writing out to swap.
In order to let vDSO getrandom() use this, expose these via mmap(2) as
MAP_DROPPABLE.
Note that this involves removing the MADV_FREE special case from
sort_folio(), which according to Yu Zhao is unnecessary and will simply
result in an extra call to shrink_folio_list() in the worst case. The
chunk removed reenables the swapbacked flag, which we don't want for
VM_DROPPABLE, and we can't conditionalize it here because there isn't a
vma reference available.
Finally, the provided self test ensures that this is working as desired.

mem_cgroup_calculate_protection() is not stateless and should only be used
as part of a top-down tree traversal. shrink_one() traverses the per-node
memcg LRU instead of the root_mem_cgroup tree, and therefore it should not
call mem_cgroup_calculate_protection().
The existing misuse in shrink_one() can cause ineffective protection of
sub-trees that are grandchildren of root_mem_cgroup. Fix it by reusing
lru_gen_age_node(), which already traverses the root_mem_cgroup tree, to
calculate the protection.
Previously lru_gen_age_node() opportunistically skips the first pass,
i.e., when scan_control->priority is DEF_PRIORITY. On the second pass,
lruvec_is_sizable() uses appropriate scan_control->priority, set by
set_initial_priority() from lru_gen_shrink_node(), to decide whether a
memcg is too small to reclaim from.
Now lru_gen_age_node() unconditionally traverses the root_mem_cgroup tree.
So it should call set_initial_priority() upfront, to make sure
lruvec_is_sizable() uses appropriate scan_control->priority on the first
pass. Otherwise, lruvec_is_reclaimable() can return false negatives and
result in premature OOM kills when min_ttl_ms is used.

set_initial_priority() tries to jump-start global reclaim by estimating
the priority based on cold/hot LRU pages. The estimation does not account
for shrinker objects, and it cannot do so because their sizes can be in
different units other than page.
If shrinker objects are the majority, e.g., on TrueNAS SCALE 24.04.0 where
ZFS ARC can use almost all system memory, set_initial_priority() can
vastly underestimate how much memory ARC shrinker can evict and assign
extreme low values to scan_control->priority, resulting in overshoots of
shrinker objects.
To reproduce the problem, using TrueNAS SCALE 24.04.0 with 32GB DRAM, a
test ZFS pool and the following commands:
fio --name=mglru.file --numjobs=36 --ioengine=io_uring \
--directory=/root/test-zfs-pool/ --size=1024m --buffered=1 \
--rw=randread --random_distribution=random \
--time_based --runtime=1h &
for ((i = 0; i < 20; i++))
do
sleep 120
fio --name=mglru.anon --numjobs=16 --ioengine=mmap \
--filename=/dev/zero --size=1024m --fadvise_hint=0 \
--rw=randrw --random_distribution=random \
--time_based --runtime=1m
done
To fix the problem:
1. Cap scan_control->priority at or above DEF_PRIORITY/2, to prevent
the jump-start from being overly aggressive.
2. Account for the progress from mm_account_reclaimed_pages(), to
prevent kswapd_shrink_node() from raising the priority
unnecessarily.

evict_folios() uses a second pass to reclaim folios that have gone through
page writeback and become clean before it finishes the first pass, since
folio_rotate_reclaimable() cannot handle those folios due to the
isolation.
The second pass tries to avoid potential double counting by deducting
scan_control->nr_scanned. However, this can result in underflow of
nr_scanned, under a condition where shrink_folio_list() does not increment
nr_scanned, i.e., when folio_trylock() fails.
The underflow can cause the divisor, i.e., scale=scanned+reclaimed in
vmpressure_calc_level(), to become zero, resulting in the following crash:
[exception RIP: vmpressure_work_fn+101]
process_one_work at ffffffffa3313f2b
Since scan_control->nr_scanned has no established semantics, the potential
double counting has minimal risks. Therefore, fix the problem by not
deducting scan_control->nr_scanned in evict_folios().

The optimization of list_empty(&folio->_deferred_list) aimed to prevent
increasing the PTL duration when a large folio is partially unmapped, for
example, from subpage 0 to subpage (nr - 2).
But Ryan's commit 5ed890ce51 ("mm: vmscan: avoid split during
shrink_folio_list()") actually splits this kind of large folios. This
makes the "optimization" useless.
Additionally, the list_empty() technically required a data_race()
annotation.

Allow proactive reclaimers to submit an additional swappiness=<val>
argument to memory.reclaim. This overrides the global or per-memcg
swappiness setting for that reclaim attempt.
For example:
echo "2M swappiness=0" > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory.reclaim
will perform reclaim on the rootcg with a swappiness setting of 0 (no
swap) regardless of the vm.swappiness sysctl setting.
Userspace proactive reclaimers use the memory.reclaim interface to trigger
reclaim. The memory.reclaim interface does not allow for any way to
effect the balance of file vs anon during proactive reclaim. The only
approach is to adjust the vm.swappiness setting. However, there are a few
reasons we look to control the balance of file vs anon during proactive
reclaim, separately from reactive reclaim:
* Swapout should be limited to manage SSD write endurance. In near-OOM
situations we are fine with lots of swap-out to avoid OOMs. As these
are typically rare events, they have relatively little impact on write
endurance. However, proactive reclaim runs continuously and so its
impact on SSD write endurance is more significant. Therefore it is
desireable to control swap-out for proactive reclaim separately from
reactive reclaim
* Some userspace OOM killers like systemd-oomd[1] support OOM killing on
swap exhaustion. This makes sense if the swap exhaustion is triggered
due to reactive reclaim but less so if it is triggered due to proactive
reclaim (e.g. one could see OOMs when free memory is ample but anon is
just particularly cold). Therefore, it's desireable to have proactive
reclaim reduce or stop swap-out before the threshold at which OOM
killing occurs.
In the case of Meta's Senpai proactive reclaimer, we adjust vm.swappiness
before writes to memory.reclaim[2]. This has been in production for
nearly two years and has addressed our needs to control proactive vs
reactive reclaim behavior but is still not ideal for a number of reasons:
* vm.swappiness is a global setting, adjusting it can race/interfere
with other system administration that wishes to control vm.swappiness.
In our case, we need to disable Senpai before adjusting vm.swappiness.
* vm.swappiness is stateful - so a crash or restart of Senpai can leave
a misconfigured setting. This requires some additional management to
record the "desired" setting and ensure Senpai always adjusts to it.
With this patch, we avoid these downsides of adjusting vm.swappiness
globally.

Patch series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim", v6.

With this patch, we avoid these downsides of adjusting vm.swappiness
globally.
Previously, this exact interface addition was proposed by Yosry[3]. In
response, Roman proposed instead an interface to specify precise
file/anon/slab reclaim amounts[4]. More recently Huan also proposed this
as well[5] and others similarly questioned if this was the proper
interface.
Previous proposals sought to use this to allow proactive reclaimers to
effectively perform a custom reclaim algorithm by issuing proactive
reclaim with different settings to control file vs anon reclaim (e.g. to
only reclaim anon from some applications). Responses argued that
adjusting swappiness is a poor interface for custom reclaim.
In contrast, I argue in favor of a swappiness setting not as a way to
implement custom reclaim algorithms but rather to bias the balance of anon
vs file due to differences of proactive vs reactive reclaim. In this
context, swappiness is the existing interface for controlling this balance
and this patch simply allows for it to be configured differently for
proactive vs reactive reclaim.
Specifying explicit amounts of anon vs file pages to reclaim feels
inappropriate for this prupose. Proactive reclaimers are un-aware of the
relative age of file vs anon for a cgroup which makes it difficult to
manage proactive reclaim of different memory pools. A proactive reclaimer
would need some amount of anon reclaim attempts separate from the amount
of file reclaim attempts which seems brittle given that it's difficult to
observe the impact.

Patch series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory", v6.
Introduction
============
With the advent of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM, which will be called simply as
CXL memory in this cover letter, some systems are becoming more
heterogeneous having memory systems with different latency and bandwidth
characteristics. They are usually handled as different NUMA nodes in
separate memory tiers and CXL memory is used as slow tiers because of its
protocol overhead compared to local DRAM.
In this kind of systems, we need to be careful placing memory pages on
proper NUMA nodes based on the memory access frequency. Otherwise, some
frequently accessed pages might reside on slow tiers and it makes
performance degradation unexpectedly. Moreover, the memory access
patterns can be changed at runtime.
To handle this problem, we need a way to monitor the memory access
patterns and migrate pages based on their access temperature. The
DAMON(Data Access MONitor) framework and its DAMOS(DAMON-based Operation
Schemes) can be useful features for monitoring and migrating pages. DAMOS
provides multiple actions based on DAMON monitoring results and it can be
used for proactive reclaim, which means swapping cold pages out with
DAMOS_PAGEOUT action, but it doesn't support migration actions such as
demotion and promotion between tiered memory nodes.
This series supports two new DAMOS actions; DAMOS_MIGRATE_HOT for
promotion from slow tiers and DAMOS_MIGRATE_COLD for demotion from fast
tiers. This prevents hot pages from being stuck on slow tiers, which
makes performance degradation and cold pages can be proactively demoted to
slow tiers so that the system can increase the chance to allocate more hot
pages to fast tiers.
The DAMON provides various tuning knobs but we found that the proactive
demotion for cold pages is especially useful when the system is running
out of memory on its fast tier nodes.
Our evaluation result shows that it reduces the performance slowdown
compared to the default memory policy from 11% to 3~5% when the system
runs under high memory pressure on its fast tier DRAM nodes.
DAMON configuration
===================
The specific DAMON configuration doesn't have to be in the scope of this
patch series, but some rough idea is better to be shared to explain the
evaluation result.
The DAMON provides many knobs for fine tuning but its configuration file
is generated by HMSDK[3]. It includes gen_config.py script that generates
a json file with the full config of DAMON knobs and it creates multiple
kdamonds for each NUMA node when the DAMON is enabled so that it can run
hot/cold based migration for tiered memory.
Evaluation Workload
===================
The performance evaluation is done with redis[4], which is a widely used
in-memory database and the memory access patterns are generated via
YCSB[5]. We have measured two different workloads with zipfian and latest
distributions but their configs are slightly modified to make memory usage
higher and execution time longer for better evaluation.
The idea of evaluation using these migrate_{hot,cold} actions covers
system-wide memory management rather than partitioning hot/cold pages of a
single workload. The default memory allocation policy creates pages to
the fast tier DRAM node first, then allocates newly created pages to the
slow tier CXL node when the DRAM node has insufficient free space. Once
the page allocation is done then those pages never move between NUMA
nodes. It's not true when using numa balancing, but it is not the scope
of this DAMON based tiered memory management support.
If the working set of redis can be fit fully into the DRAM node, then the
redis will access the fast DRAM only. Since the performance of DRAM only
is faster than partially accessing CXL memory in slow tiers, this
environment is not useful to evaluate this patch series.
To make pages of redis be distributed across fast DRAM node and slow CXL
node to evaluate our migrate_{hot,cold} actions, we pre-allocate some cold
memory externally using mmap and memset before launching redis-server. We
assumed that there are enough amount of cold memory in datacenters as
TMO[6] and TPP[7] papers mentioned.
The evaluation sequence is as follows.
1. Turn on DAMON with DAMOS_MIGRATE_COLD action for DRAM node and
DAMOS_MIGRATE_HOT action for CXL node. It demotes cold pages on DRAM
node and promotes hot pages on CXL node in a regular interval.
2. Allocate a huge block of cold memory by calling mmap and memset at
the fast tier DRAM node, then make the process sleep to make the fast
tier has insufficient space for redis-server.
3. Launch redis-server and load prebaked snapshot image, dump.rdb. The
redis-server consumes 52GB of anon pages and 33GB of file pages, but
due to the cold memory allocated at 2, it fails allocating the entire
memory of redis-server on the fast tier DRAM node so it partially
allocates the remaining on the slow tier CXL node. The ratio of
DRAM:CXL depends on the size of the pre-allocated cold memory.
4. Run YCSB to make zipfian or latest distribution of memory accesses to
redis-server, then measure its execution time when it's completed.
5. Repeat 4 over 50 times to measure the average execution time for each
run.
6. Increase the cold memory size then repeat goes to 2.
For each test at 4 took about a minute so repeating it 50 times almost
took about 1 hour for each test with a specific cold memory from 440GB to
500GB in 10GB increments for each evaluation. So it took about more than
10 hours for both zipfian and latest workloads to get the entire
evaluation results. Repeating the same test set multiple times doesn't
show much difference so I think it might be enough to make the result
reliable.
Evaluation Results
==================
All the result values are normalized to DRAM-only execution time because
the workload cannot be faster than DRAM-only unless the workload hits the
peak bandwidth but our redis test doesn't go beyond the bandwidth limit.
So the DRAM-only execution time is the ideal result without affected by
the gap between DRAM and CXL performance difference. The NUMA node
environment is as follows.
node0 - local DRAM, 512GB with a CPU socket (fast tier)
node1 - disabled
node2 - CXL DRAM, 96GB, no CPU attached (slow tier)
The following is the result of generating zipfian distribution to
redis-server and the numbers are averaged by 50 times of execution.
1. YCSB zipfian distribution read only workload
memory pressure with cold memory on node0 with 512GB of local DRAM.

DAMON lazy | - 0.5 3.0 4.5 5.4 6.4 9.4 9.1 | 5.5
====================+================================================+=========
Each test result is based on the execution environment as follows.
DRAM-only: redis-server uses only local DRAM memory.
CXL-only: redis-server uses only CXL memory.
default: default memory policy(MPOL_DEFAULT).
numa balancing disabled.
DAMON tiered: DAMON enabled with DAMOS_MIGRATE_COLD for DRAM
nodes and DAMOS_MIGRATE_HOT for CXL nodes.
DAMON lazy: same as DAMON tiered, but turn on DAMON just
before making memory access request via YCSB.
The above result shows the "default" execution time goes up as the size of
cold memory is increased from 440G to 500G because the more cold memory
used, the more CXL memory is used for the target redis workload and this
makes the execution time increase.
However, "DAMON tiered" and other DAMON results show less slowdown because
the DAMOS_MIGRATE_COLD action at DRAM node proactively demotes
pre-allocated cold memory to CXL node and this free space at DRAM
increases more chance to allocate hot or warm pages of redis-server to
fast DRAM node. Moreover, DAMOS_MIGRATE_HOT action at CXL node also
promotes hot pages of redis-server to DRAM node actively.
As a result, it makes more memory of redis-server stay in DRAM node
compared to "default" memory policy and this makes the performance
improvement.
Please note that the result numbers of "DAMON tiered" and "DAMON lazy" at
500G are marked with * stars, which means their test results are replaced
with reproduced tests that didn't have OOM issue.
That was needed because sometimes the test processes get OOM when DRAM has
insufficient space. The DAMOS_MIGRATE_HOT doesn't kick reclaim but just
gives up migration when there is not enough space at DRAM side. The
problem happens when there is competition between normal allocation and
migration and the migration is done before normal allocation, then the
completely unrelated normal allocation can trigger reclaim, which incurs
OOM.
Because of this issue, I have also tested more cases with
"demotion_enabled" flag enabled to make such reclaim doesn't trigger OOM,
but just demote reclaimed pages. The following test results show more
tests with "kswapd" marked.

DAMON lazy kswapd | - 4.2 4.6 5.3 1.7 6.8 8.1 5.8 | 5.2
====================+================================================+=========
Each test result is based on the exeuction environment as follows.
DAMON tiered: same as before
DAMON lazy: same as before
DAMON tiered kswapd: same as DAMON tiered, but turn on
/sys/kernel/mm/numa/demotion_enabled to make
kswapd or direct reclaim does demotion.
DAMON lazy kswapd: same as DAMON lazy, but turn on
/sys/kernel/mm/numa/demotion_enabled to make
kswapd or direct reclaim does demotion.
The "DAMON tiered kswapd" and "DAMON lazy kswapd" didn't trigger OOM at
all unlike other tests because kswapd and direct reclaim from DRAM node
can demote reclaimed pages to CXL node independently from DAMON actions
and their results are slightly better than without having
"demotion_enabled".
In summary, the evaluation results show that DAMON memory management with
DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD} actions reduces the performance slowdown compared
to the "default" memory policy from 11% to 3~5% when the system runs with
high memory pressure on its fast tier DRAM nodes.
Having these DAMOS_MIGRATE_HOT and DAMOS_MIGRATE_COLD actions can make
tiered memory systems run more efficiently under high memory pressures.
This patch (of 7):
The alloc_demote_folio can be used out of vmscan.c so it'd be better to
remove static keyword from it.

Currently, reclaim always walks the entire cgroup tree in order to ensure
fairness between groups. While overreclaim is limited in shrink_lruvec(),
many of our systems have a sizable number of active groups, and an even
bigger number of idle cgroups with cache left behind by previous jobs; the
mere act of walking all these cgroups can impose significant latency on
direct reclaimers.
In the past, we've used a save-and-restore iterator that enabled
incremental tree walks over multiple reclaim invocations. This ensured
fairness, while keeping the work of individual reclaimers small.
However, in edge cases with a lot of reclaim concurrency, individual
reclaimers would sometimes not see enough of the cgroup tree to make
forward progress and (prematurely) declare OOM. Consequently we switched
to comprehensive walks in 1ba6fc9af3 ("mm: vmscan: do not share cgroup
iteration between reclaimers").
To address the latency problem without bringing back the premature OOM
issue, reinstate the shared iteration, but with a restart condition to do
the full walk in the OOM case - similar to what we do for memory.low
enforcement and active page protection.
In the worst case, we do one more full tree walk before declaring
OOM. But the vast majority of direct reclaim scans can then finish
much quicker, while fairness across the tree is maintained:
- Before this patch, we observed that direct reclaim always takes more
than 100us and most direct reclaim time is spent in reclaim cycles
lasting between 1ms and 1 second. Almost 40% of direct reclaim time
was spent on reclaim cycles exceeding 100ms.
- With this patch, almost all page reclaim cycles last less than 10ms,
and a good amount of direct page reclaim finishes in under 100us. No
page reclaim cycles lasting over 100ms were observed anymore.
The shared iterator state is maintaned inside the target cgroup, so
fair and incremental walks are performed during both global reclaim
and cgroup limit reclaim of complex subtrees.

The mTHP swap related counters: 'anon_swpout' and 'anon_swpout_fallback'
are confusing with an 'anon_' prefix, since the shmem can swap out
non-anonymous pages. So drop the 'anon_' prefix to keep consistent with

This is needed in 6.10-rcX to avoid having an inconsistent ABI out in the

This helps to display the fragmentation situation of the swapfile, knowing
the proportion of how much we haven't split large folios. So far, we only
support non-split swapout for anon memory, with the possibility of
expanding to shmem in the future. So, we add the "anon" prefix to the

Now that swap supports storing all mTHP sizes, avoid splitting large
folios before swap-out. This benefits performance of the swap-out path by
eliding split_folio_to_list(), which is expensive, and also sets us up for
swapping in large folios in a future series.
If the folio is partially mapped, we continue to split it since we want to
avoid the extra IO overhead and storage of writing out pages
uneccessarily.
THP_SWPOUT and THP_SWPOUT_FALLBACK counters should continue to count
events only for PMD-mappable folios to avoid user confusion. THP_SWPOUT
already has the appropriate guard. Add a guard for THP_SWPOUT_FALLBACK.
It may be appropriate to add per-size counters in future.

Within try_to_unmap_one(), page_vma_mapped_walk() races with other PTE
modifications preceded by pte clear. While iterating over PTEs of a large
folio, it only starts acquiring PTL from the first valid (present) PTE.
PTE modifications can temporarily set PTEs to pte_none. Consequently, the
initial PTEs of a large folio might be skipped in try_to_unmap_one().
For example, for an anon folio, if we skip PTE0, we may have PTE0 which is
still present, while PTE1 ~ PTE(nr_pages - 1) are swap entries after
try_to_unmap_one().
So folio will be still mapped, the folio fails to be reclaimed and is put
back to LRU in this round.
This also breaks up PTEs optimization such as CONT-PTE on this large folio
and may lead to accident folio_split() afterwards. And since a part of
PTEs are now swap entries, accessing those parts will introduce overhead -
do_swap_page. Although the kernel can withstand all of the above issues,
the situation still seems quite awkward and warrants making it more ideal.
The same race also occurs with small folios, but they have only one PTE,
thus, it won't be possible for them to be partially unmapped.
This patch holds PTL from PTE0, allowing us to avoid reading PTE values
that are in the process of being transformed. With stable PTE values, we
can ensure that this large folio is either completely reclaimed or that
all PTEs remain untouched in this round.
A corner case is that if we hold PTL from PTE0 and most initial PTEs have
been really unmapped before that, we may increase the duration of holding
PTL. Thus we only apply this optimization to folios which are still
entirely mapped (not in deferred_split list).

Patch series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent", v2.
As discussed in previous thread [1], there is an inconsistency when
handling hugetlb migration. When handling the migration of freed hugetlb,
it prevents fallback to other NUMA nodes in
alloc_and_dissolve_hugetlb_folio(). However, when dealing with in-use
hugetlb, it allows fallback to other NUMA nodes in
alloc_hugetlb_folio_nodemask(), which can break the per-node hugetlb pool
and might result in unexpected failures when node bound workloads doesn't
get what is asssumed available.
This patchset tries to make the hugetlb migration strategy more clear
and consistent. Please find details in each patch.

With cache_trim_mode on, reclaim logic doesn't bother reclaiming anon
pages. However, it should be more careful to use the mode because it's
going to prevent anon pages from being reclaimed even if there are a huge
number of anon pages that are cold and should be reclaimed. Even worse,
that leads kswapd_failures to reach MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES and stopping
kswapd from functioning until direct reclaim eventually works to resume
kswapd.
So kswapd needs to retry its scan priority loop with cache_trim_mode off
again if the mode doesn't work for reclaim.
The problematic behavior can be reproduced by:
CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING enabled
sysctl_numa_balancing_mode set to NUMA_BALANCING_MEMORY_TIERING
numa node0 (8GB local memory, 16 CPUs)
numa node1 (8GB slow tier memory, no CPUs)
Sequence:
1) echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
2) To emulate the system with full of cold memory in local DRAM, run
the following dummy program and never touch the region:
mmap(0, 8 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_POPULATE, -1, 0);
3) Run any memory intensive work e.g. XSBench.
4) Check if numa balancing is working e.i. promotion/demotion.
5) Iterate 1) ~ 4) until numa balancing stops.
With this, you could see that promotion/demotion are not working because
kswapd has stopped due to ->kswapd_failures >= MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES.

When freeing a large folio, we must remove it from the deferred split list
before we uncharge it as each memcg has its own deferred split list (with
associated lock) and removing a folio from the deferred split list while
holding the wrong lock will corrupt that list and cause various related
problems.

While doing MADV_PAGEOUT, the current code will clear PTE young so that
vmscan won't read young flags to allow the reclamation of madvised folios
to go ahead. It seems we can do it by directly ignoring references, thus
we can remove tlb flush in madvise and rmap overhead in vmscan.
Regarding the side effect, in the original code, if a parallel thread runs
side by side to access the madvised memory with the thread doing madvise,
folios will get a chance to be re-activated by vmscan (though the time gap
is actually quite small since checking PTEs is done immediately after
clearing PTEs young). But with this patch, they will still be reclaimed.
But this behaviour doing PAGEOUT and doing access at the same time is
quite silly like DoS. So probably, we don't need to care. Or ignoring
the new access during the quite small time gap is even better.
For DAMON's DAMOS_PAGEOUT based on physical address region, we still keep
its behaviour as is since a physical address might be mapped by multiple
processes. MADV_PAGEOUT based on virtual address is actually much more
aggressive on reclamation. To untouch paddr's DAMOS_PAGEOUT, we simply
pass ignore_references as false in reclaim_pages().
A microbench as below has shown 6% decrement on the latency of
MADV_PAGEOUT,
#define PGSIZE 4096
main()
{
int i;
#define SIZE 512*1024*1024
volatile long *p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
for (i = 0; i < SIZE/sizeof(long); i += PGSIZE / sizeof(long))
p[i] = 0x11;
madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);
}

Sven reports an infinite loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath() for costly order
__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL allocations that are also GFP_NOIO. Such combination
can happen in a suspend/resume context where a GFP_KERNEL allocation can
have __GFP_IO masked out via gfp_allowed_mask.
Quoting Sven:
1. try to do a "costly" allocation (order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER)
with __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL set.
2. page alloc's __alloc_pages_slowpath tries to get a page from the
freelist. This fails because there is nothing free of that costly
order.
3. page alloc tries to reclaim by calling __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim,
which bails out because a zone is ready to be compacted; it pretends
to have made a single page of progress.
4. page alloc tries to compact, but this always bails out early because
__GFP_IO is not set (it's not passed by the snd allocator, and even
if it were, we are suspending so the __GFP_IO flag would be cleared
anyway).
5. page alloc believes reclaim progress was made (because of the
pretense in item 3) and so it checks whether it should retry
compaction. The compaction retry logic thinks it should try again,
because:
a) reclaim is needed because of the early bail-out in item 4
b) a zonelist is suitable for compaction
6. goto 2. indefinite stall.
(end quote)
The immediate root cause is confusing the COMPACT_SKIPPED returned from
__alloc_pages_direct_compact() (step 4) due to lack of __GFP_IO to be
indicating a lack of order-0 pages, and in step 5 evaluating that in
should_compact_retry() as a reason to retry, before incrementing and
limiting the number of retries. There are however other places that
wrongly assume that compaction can happen while we lack __GFP_IO.
To fix this, introduce gfp_compaction_allowed() to abstract the __GFP_IO
evaluation and switch the open-coded test in try_to_compact_pages() to use
it.
Also use the new helper in:
- compaction_ready(), which will make reclaim not bail out in step 3, so
there's at least one attempt to actually reclaim, even if chances are
small for a costly order
- in_reclaim_compaction() which will make should_continue_reclaim()
return false and we don't over-reclaim unnecessarily
- in __alloc_pages_slowpath() to set a local variable can_compact,
which is then used to avoid retrying reclaim/compaction for costly
allocations (step 5) if we can't compact and also to skip the early
compaction attempt that we do in some cases

Stats flushing for memcg currently follows the following rules:
- Always flush the entire memcg hierarchy (i.e. flush the root).
- Only one flusher is allowed at a time. If someone else tries to flush
concurrently, they skip and return immediately.
- A periodic flusher flushes all the stats every 2 seconds.
The reason this approach is followed is because all flushes are serialized
by a global rstat spinlock. On the memcg side, flushing is invoked from
userspace reads as well as in-kernel flushers (e.g. reclaim, refault,
etc). This approach aims to avoid serializing all flushers on the global
lock, which can cause a significant performance hit under high
concurrency.
This approach has the following problems:
- Occasionally a userspace read of the stats of a non-root cgroup will
be too expensive as it has to flush the entire hierarchy [1].
- Sometimes the stats accuracy are compromised if there is an ongoing
flush, and we skip and return before the subtree of interest is
actually flushed, yielding stale stats (by up to 2s due to periodic
flushing). This is more visible when reading stats from userspace,
but can also affect in-kernel flushers.
The latter problem is particulary a concern when userspace reads stats
after an event occurs, but gets stats from before the event. Examples:
- When memory usage / pressure spikes, a userspace OOM handler may look
at the stats of different memcgs to select a victim based on various
heuristics (e.g. how much private memory will be freed by killing
this). Reading stale stats from before the usage spike in this case
may cause a wrongful OOM kill.
- A proactive reclaimer may read the stats after writing to
memory.reclaim to measure the success of the reclaim operation. Stale
stats from before reclaim may give a false negative.
- Reading the stats of a parent and a child memcg may be inconsistent
(child larger than parent), if the flush doesn't happen when the
parent is read, but happens when the child is read.
As for in-kernel flushers, they will occasionally get stale stats. No
regressions are currently known from this, but if there are regressions,
they would be very difficult to debug and link to the source of the
problem.
This patch aims to fix these problems by restoring subtree flushing, and
removing the unified/coalesced flushing logic that skips flushing if there
is an ongoing flush. This change would introduce a significant regression
with global stats flushing thresholds. With per-memcg stats flushing
thresholds, this seems to perform really well. The thresholds protect the
underlying lock from unnecessary contention.
This patch was tested in two ways to ensure the latency of flushing is
up to par, on a machine with 384 cpus:
- A synthetic test with 5000 concurrent workers in 500 cgroups doing
allocations and reclaim, as well as 1000 readers for memory.stat
(variation of [2]). No regressions were noticed in the total runtime.
Note that significant regressions in this test are observed with
global stats thresholds, but not with per-memcg thresholds.
- A synthetic stress test for concurrently reading memcg stats while
memory allocation/freeing workers are running in the background,
provided by Wei Xu [3]. With 250k threads reading the stats every
100ms in 50k cgroups, 99.9% of reads take <= 50us. Less than 0.01%
of reads take more than 1ms, and no reads take more than 100ms.

In the effort to reduce zombie memcgs [1], it was discovered that the
memcg LRU doesn't apply enough pressure on offlined memcgs. Specifically,
instead of rotating them to the tail of the current generation
(MEMCG_LRU_TAIL) for a second attempt, it moves them to the next
generation (MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG) after the first attempt.
Not applying enough pressure on offlined memcgs can cause them to build
up, and this can be particularly harmful to memory-constrained systems.

While investigating kswapd "consuming 100% CPU" [1] (also see "mm/mglru:
try to stop at high watermarks"), it was discovered that the memcg LRU can
breach the thrashing protection imposed by min_ttl_ms.
Before the memcg LRU:
kswapd()
shrink_node_memcgs()
mem_cgroup_iter()
inc_max_seq() // always hit a different memcg
lru_gen_age_node()
mem_cgroup_iter()
check the timestamp of the oldest generation
After the memcg LRU:
kswapd()
shrink_many()
restart:
iterate the memcg LRU:
inc_max_seq() // occasionally hit the same memcg
if raced with lru_gen_rotate_memcg():
goto restart
lru_gen_age_node()
mem_cgroup_iter()
check the timestamp of the oldest generation
Specifically, when the restart happens in shrink_many(), it needs to stick
with the (memcg LRU) generation it began with. In other words, it should
neither re-read memcg_lru->seq nor age an lruvec of a different
generation. Otherwise it can hit the same memcg multiple times without
giving lru_gen_age_node() a chance to check the timestamp of that memcg's
oldest generation (against min_ttl_ms).

The initial MGLRU patchset didn't include the memcg LRU support, and it
relied on should_abort_scan(), added by commit f76c833788 ("mm:
multi-gen LRU: optimize multiple memcgs"), to "backoff to avoid
overshooting their aggregate reclaim target by too much".
Later on when the memcg LRU was added, should_abort_scan() was deemed
unnecessary, and the test results [1] showed no side effects after it was
removed by commit a579086c99 ("mm: multi-gen LRU: remove eviction
fairness safeguard").
However, that test used memory.reclaim, which sets nr_to_reclaim to
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX. So it can overshoot only by SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX-1 pages,
i.e., from nr_reclaimed=nr_to_reclaim-1 to
nr_reclaimed=nr_to_reclaim+SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX-1. Compared with the batch
size kswapd sets to nr_to_reclaim, SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX is tiny. Therefore
that test isn't able to reproduce the worst case scenario, i.e., kswapd
overshooting GBs on large systems and "consuming 100% CPU" (see the Closes
tag).
Bring back a simplified version of should_abort_scan() on top of the memcg
LRU, so that kswapd stops when all eligible zones are above their
respective high watermarks plus a small delta to lower the chance of
KSWAPD_HIGH_WMARK_HIT_QUICKLY. Note that this only applies to order-0
reclaim, meaning compaction-induced reclaim can still run wild (which is a
different problem).

Unmapped folios accessed through file descriptors can be underprotected.
Those folios are added to the oldest generation based on:
1. The fact that they are less costly to reclaim (no need to walk the
rmap and flush the TLB) and have less impact on performance (don't
cause major PFs and can be non-blocking if needed again).
2. The observation that they are likely to be single-use. E.g., for
client use cases like Android, its apps parse configuration files
and store the data in heap (anon); for server use cases like MySQL,
it reads from InnoDB files and holds the cached data for tables in
buffer pools (anon).
However, the oldest generation can be very short lived, and if so, it
doesn't provide the PID controller with enough time to respond to a surge
of refaults. (Note that the PID controller uses weighted refaults and
those from evicted generations only take a half of the whole weight.) In
other words, for a short lived generation, the moving average smooths out
the spike quickly.
To fix the problem:
1. For folios that are already on LRU, if they can be beyond the
tracking range of tiers, i.e., five accesses through file
descriptors, move them to the second oldest generation to give them
more time to age. (Note that tiers are used by the PID controller
to statistically determine whether folios accessed multiple times
through file descriptors are worth protecting.)
2. When adding unmapped folios to LRU, adjust the placement of them so
that they are not too close to the tail. The effect of this is
similar to the above.

Demotion will migrate pages across nodes. Previously, only the global
demotion statistics were accounted for. Changed them to per-node
statistics, making it easier to observe where demotion occurs on each
node.
This will help to identify which nodes are under pressure.
This patch also make pgdemote_* behind CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING, since
demotion is not available for !CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING
With this patch, here is a sample where node0 node1 are DRAM,
node3 is PMEM:
Global stats:
$ grep demote /proc/vmstat
pgdemote_kswapd 254288
pgdemote_direct 113497

The current memory reclaim delay statistics only count the direct memory
reclaim of the task in do_try_to_free_pages(). In systems with NUMA open,
some tasks occasionally experience slower response times, but the total
count of reclaim does not increase, using ftrace can show that
node_reclaim has occurred.
The memory reclaim occurring in get_page_from_freelist() is also due to
heavy memory load. To get the impact of tasks in memory reclaim, this
patch adds the statistics of the memory reclaim delay statistics for
__node_reclaim().

This isolate_mode_t flag is effectively unused since 89f6c88a6a ("mm:
__isolate_lru_page_prepare() in isolate_migratepages_block()") as
sc->may_unmap is now checked directly (and only node_reclaim has a mode
that sets it to 0). The last remaining place is mm_vmscan_lru_isolate
tracepoint for the isolate_mode parameter. That one was mainly used to
indicate the active/inactive mode, which the trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl
script consumed, but that got silently broken. After fixing the script by
the previous patch, it does not need the isolate_mode anymore. So just
remove the parameter and with that the whole ISOLATE_UNMAPPED flag.

At present, we support per-memcg reclaim strategy, however we do not know
the number of transparent huge pages being reclaimed, as we know the
transparent huge pages need to be splited before reclaim them, and they
will bring some performance bottleneck effect. for example, when two
memcg (A & B) are doing reclaim for anonymous pages at same time, and 'A'
memcg is reclaiming a large number of transparent huge pages, we can
better analyze that the performance bottleneck will be caused by 'A'
memcg. therefore, in order to better analyze such problems, there add THP
swap out info for per-memcg.

When looking at the code in the memory part, I found that the purpose of
the function prepare_scan_countis very different from the function name.
It is easy to misunderstand when reading.The function prepare_scan_count
mainly completes the assignment of the scan_control structure.Therefore, I
suggest that the function name can be changed to prepare_scan_control,
which is easier to understand.

This patch is based on the commit 5da226dbfce3("mm: skip CMA pages when
they are not available") which skips cma pages reclaim when they are not
eligible for the current allocation context. In mglru, such pages are
added to the tail of the immediate generation to maintain better LRU
order, which is unlike the case of conventional LRU where such pages are
directly added to the head of the LRU list(akin to adding to head of the
youngest generation in mglru).
No observable issue without this patch on MGLRU, but logically it make
sense to skip the CMA page reclaim when those pages can't be satisfied for
the current allocation context.

inc_max_seq() will try to inc_min_seq() if nr_gens == MAX_NR_GENS. This
is because the generations are reused (the last oldest now empty
generation will become the next youngest generation).
inc_min_seq() is retried until successful, dropping the lru_lock
and yielding the CPU on each failure, and retaking the lock before
trying again:
while (!inc_min_seq(lruvec, type, can_swap)) {
spin_unlock_irq(&lruvec->lru_lock);
cond_resched();
spin_lock_irq(&lruvec->lru_lock);
}
However, the initial condition that required incrementing the min_seq
(nr_gens == MAX_NR_GENS) is not retested. This can change by another
call to inc_max_seq() from run_aging() with force_scan=true from the
debugfs interface.
Since the eviction stalls when the nr_gens == MIN_NR_GENS, avoid
unnecessarily incrementing the min_seq by rechecking the number of
generations before each attempt.
This issue was uncovered in previous discussion on the list by Yu Zhao
and Aneesh Kumar [1].

MGLRU has a LRU list for each zone for each type (anon/file) in each
generation:
long nr_pages[MAX_NR_GENS][ANON_AND_FILE][MAX_NR_ZONES];
The min_seq (oldest generation) can progress independently for each
type but the max_seq (youngest generation) is shared for both anon and
file. This is to maintain a common frame of reference.
In order for eviction to advance the min_seq of a type, all the per-zone
lists in the oldest generation of that type must be empty.
The eviction logic only considers pages from eligible zones for
eviction or promotion.
scan_folios() {
...
for (zone = sc->reclaim_idx; zone >= 0; zone--) {
...
sort_folio(); // Promote
...
isolate_folio(); // Evict
}
...
}
Consider the system has the movable zone configured and default 4
generations. The current state of the system is as shown below
(only illustrating one type for simplicity):
Type: ANON
Zone DMA32 Normal Movable Device
Gen 0 0 0 4GB 0
Gen 1 0 1GB 1MB 0
Gen 2 1MB 4GB 1MB 0
Gen 3 1MB 1MB 1MB 0
Now consider there is a GFP_KERNEL allocation request (eligible zone
index <= Normal), evict_folios() will return without doing any work
since there are no pages to scan in the eligible zones of the oldest
generation. Reclaim won't make progress until triggered from a ZONE_MOVABLE
allocation request; which may not happen soon if there is a lot of free
memory in the movable zone. This can lead to OOM kills, although there
is 1GB pages in the Normal zone of Gen 1 that we have not yet tried to
reclaim.
This issue is not seen in the conventional active/inactive LRU since
there are no per-zone lists.
If there are no (not enough) folios to scan in the eligible zones, move
folios from ineligible zone (zone_index > reclaim_index) to the next
generation. This allows for the progression of min_seq and reclaiming
from the next generation (Gen 1).

When a memcg is in the process of being released mem_cgroup_tryget will
fail because its reference count has already reached 0. This can happen
during reclaim if the memcg has already been offlined, and we reclaim all
remaining pages attributed to the offlined memcg. shrink_many attempts to
skip the empty memcg in this case, and continue reclaiming from the
remaining memcgs in the old generation. If there is only one memcg
remaining, or if all remaining memcgs are in the process of being released
then shrink_many will spin until all memcgs have finished being released.
The release occurs through a workqueue, so it can take a while before
kswapd is able to make any further progress.
This fix results in reductions in kswapd activity and direct reclaim in
a test where 28 apps (working set size > total memory) are repeatedly
launched in a random sequence:

walk_page_range() and friends often operate under write-locked mmap_lock.
With introduction of vma locks, the vmas have to be locked as well during
such walks to prevent concurrent page faults in these areas. Add an
additional member to mm_walk_ops to indicate locking requirements for the
walk.
The change ensures that page walks which prevent concurrent page faults
by write-locking mmap_lock, operate correctly after introduction of
per-vma locks. With per-vma locks page faults can be handled under vma
lock without taking mmap_lock at all, so write locking mmap_lock would
not stop them. The change ensures vmas are properly locked during such
walks.
A sample issue this solves is do_mbind() performing queue_pages_range()
to queue pages for migration. Without this change a concurrent page
can be faulted into the area and be left out of migration.

Patch series "mm, netfs, fscache: Stop read optimisation when folio
removed from pagecache", v7.
This fixes an optimisation in fscache whereby we don't read from the cache
for a particular file until we know that there's data there that we don't
have in the pagecache. The problem is that I'm no longer using PG_fscache
(aka PG_private_2) to indicate that the page is cached and so I don't get
a notification when a cached page is dropped from the pagecache.
The first patch merges some folio_has_private() and
filemap_release_folio() pairs and introduces a helper,
folio_needs_release(), to indicate if a release is required.
The second patch is the actual fix. Following Willy's suggestions[1], it
adds an AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS flag to an address_space that will make
filemap_release_folio() always call ->release_folio(), even if
PG_private/PG_private_2 aren't set. folio_needs_release() is altered to
add a check for this.
This patch (of 2):
Make filemap_release_folio() check folio_has_private(). Then, in most
cases, where a call to folio_has_private() is immediately followed by a
call to filemap_release_folio(), we can get rid of the test in the pair.
There are a couple of sites in mm/vscan.c that this can't so easily be
done. In shrink_folio_list(), there are actually three cases (something
different is done for incompletely invalidated buffers), but
filemap_release_folio() elides two of them.
In shrink_active_list(), we don't have have the folio lock yet, so the
check allows us to avoid locking the page unnecessarily.
A wrapper function to check if a folio needs release is provided for those
places that still need to do it in the mm/ directory. This will acquire
additional parts to the condition in a future patch.
After this, the only remaining caller of folio_has_private() outside of
mm/ is a check in fuse.

When memory.reclaim was introduced, it became the first case where
cgroup_reclaim() is true for the root cgroup. Johannes concluded [1] that
for most cases this is okay, except for one case. Historically, kswapd
would throttle reclaim on a node if a lot of pages marked for reclaim are
under writeback (aka the node is congested). This occurred by setting
LRUVEC_CONGESTED bit in lruvec->flags. The bit would be cleared when the
node is balanced.
Similarly, cgroup reclaim would set the same bit when an lruvec is
congested, and clear it on the way out of reclaim (to throttle local
reclaimers).
Before the introduction of memory.reclaim, the root memcg was the only
target of kswapd reclaim, and non-root memcgs were the only targets of
cgroup reclaim, so they would never interfere. Using the same bit for
both was fine. After memory.reclaim, it is possible for cgroup reclaim on
the root cgroup to clear the bit set by kswapd. This would result in
reclaim on the node to be unthrottled before the node is balanced.
Fix this by introducing separate bits for cgroup-level and node-level
congestion. kswapd can unthrottle an lruvec that is marked as congested
by cgroup reclaim (as the entire node should no longer be congested), but
not vice versa (to prevent premature unthrottling before the entire node
is balanced).

Evidently, global_reclaim() can be a confusing name. Especially that it
used to exist before with a subtly different definition (removed by commit
b5ead35e7e ("mm: vmscan: naming fixes: global_reclaim() and
sane_reclaim()"). It can be interpreted as non-cgroup reclaim, even
though it returns true for cgroup reclaim on the root memcg (through
memory.reclaim).
Rename it to root_reclaim() in an attempt to make it less ambiguous, and
add documentation to it as well as cgroup_reclaim.

Convert all instances of direct pte_t* dereferencing to instead use
ptep_get() helper. This means that by default, the accesses change from a
C dereference to a READ_ONCE(). This is technically the correct thing to
do since where pgtables are modified by HW (for access/dirty) they are
volatile and therefore we should always ensure READ_ONCE() semantics.
But more importantly, by always using the helper, it can be overridden by
the architecture to fully encapsulate the contents of the pte. Arch code
is deliberately not converted, as the arch code knows best. It is
intended that arch code (arm64) will override the default with its own
implementation that can (e.g.) hide certain bits from the core code, or
determine young/dirty status by mixing in state from another source.
Conversion was done using Coccinelle:
----
// $ make coccicheck \
// COCCI=ptepget.cocci \
// SPFLAGS="--include-headers" \
// MODE=patch
virtual patch
@ depends on patch @
pte_t *v;
@@
- *v
+ ptep_get(v)
----
Then reviewed and hand-edited to avoid multiple unnecessary calls to
ptep_get(), instead opting to store the result of a single call in a
variable, where it is correct to do so. This aims to negate any cost of
READ_ONCE() and will benefit arch-overrides that may be more complex.
Included is a fix for an issue in an earlier version of this patch that
was pointed out by kernel test robot. The issue arose because config
MMU=n elides definition of the ptep helper functions, including
ptep_get(). HUGETLB_PAGE=n configs still define a simple
huge_ptep_clear_flush() for linking purposes, which dereferences the ptep.
So when both configs are disabled, this caused a build error because
ptep_get() is not defined. Fix by continuing to do a direct dereference
when MMU=n. This is safe because for this config the arch code cannot be
trying to virtualize the ptes because none of the ptep helpers are
defined.

MGLRU's walk_pte_range() use the safer pte_offset_map_nolock(), rather
than pte_lockptr(), to get the ptl for its trylock. Just return false and
move on to next extent if it fails, like when the trylock fails. Remove
the VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(pmd_leaf) since that will happen, rarely.

This reverts commit f95bdb700b.
Kernel test robot reports -88.8% regression in stress-ng.ramfs.ops_per_sec
test case [1], which is caused by commit f95bdb700b ("mm: vmscan: make
global slab shrink lockless"). The root cause is that SRCU has to be
careful to not frequently check for SRCU read-side critical section exits.
Therefore, even if no one is currently in the SRCU read-side critical
section, synchronize_srcu() cannot return quickly. That's why
unregister_shrinker() has become slower.
After discussion, we will try to use the refcount+RCU method [2] proposed
by Dave Chinner to continue to re-implement the lockless slab shrink. So
revert the shrinker_srcu related changes first.

A customer provided evidence indicating that a process
was stalled in direct reclaim:
- The process was trapped in throttle_direct_reclaim().
The function wait_event_killable() was called to wait condition
allow_direct_reclaim(pgdat) for current node to be true.
The allow_direct_reclaim(pgdat) examined the number of free pages
on the node by zone_page_state() which just returns value in
zone->vm_stat[NR_FREE_PAGES].
- On node #1, zone->vm_stat[NR_FREE_PAGES] was 0.
However, the freelist on this node was not empty.
- This inconsistent of vmstat value was caused by percpu vmstat on
nohz_full cpus. Every increment/decrement of vmstat is performed
on percpu vmstat counter at first, then pooled diffs are cumulated
to the zone's vmstat counter in timely manner. However, on nohz_full
cpus (in case of this customer's system, 48 of 52 cpus) these pooled
diffs were not cumulated once the cpu had no event on it so that
the cpu started sleeping infinitely.
I checked percpu vmstat and found there were total 69 counts not
cumulated to the zone's vmstat counter yet.
- In this situation, kswapd did not help the trapped process.
In pgdat_balanced(), zone_wakermark_ok_safe() examined the number
of free pages on the node by zone_page_state_snapshot() which
checks pending counts on percpu vmstat.
Therefore kswapd could know there were 69 free pages correctly.
Since zone->_watermark = {8, 20, 32}, kswapd did not work because
69 was greater than 32 as high watermark.
Change allow_direct_reclaim to use zone_page_state_snapshot, which
allows a more precise version of the vmstat counters to be used.
allow_direct_reclaim will only be called from try_to_free_pages,
which is not a hot path.
Testing: Due to difficulties accessing the system, it has not been
possible for the reproducer to test the patch (however its
clear from available data and analysis that it should fix it).

On Android app cycle workloads, MGLRU showed a significant reduction in
workingset refaults although pgpgin/pswpin remained relatively unchanged.
This indicated MGLRU may be undercounting workingset refaults.
This has impact on userspace programs, like Android's LMKD, that monitor
workingset refault statistics to detect thrashing.
It was found that refaults were only accounted if the MGLRU shadow entry
was for a recently evicted folio. However, recently evicted folios should
be accounted as workingset activation, and refaults should be accounted
regardless of recency.
Fix MGLRU's workingset refault and activation accounting to more closely
match that of the conventional active/inactive LRU.
