sched/numa: add statistics of numa balance task
On systems with NUMA balancing enabled, it has been found that tracking task activities resulting from NUMA balancing is beneficial. NUMA balancing employs two mechanisms for task migration: one is to migrate a task to an idle CPU within its preferred node, and the other is to swap tasks located on different nodes when they are on each other's preferred nodes. The kernel already provides NUMA page migration statistics in /sys/fs/cgroup/mytest/memory.stat and /proc/{PID}/sched. However, it lacks statistics regarding task migration and swapping. Therefore, relevant counts for task migration and swapping should be added. The following two new fields: numa_task_migrated numa_task_swapped will be shown in /sys/fs/cgroup/{GROUP}/memory.stat, /proc/{PID}/sched and /proc/vmstat. Introducing both per-task and per-memory cgroup (memcg) NUMA balancing statistics facilitates a rapid evaluation of the performance and resource utilization of the target workload. For instance, users can first identify the container with high NUMA balancing activity and then further pinpoint a specific task within that group, and subsequently adjust the memory policy for that task. In short, although it is possible to iterate through /proc/$pid/sched to locate the problematic task, the introduction of aggregated NUMA balancing activity for tasks within each memcg can assist users in identifying the task more efficiently through a divide-and-conquer approach. As Libo Chen pointed out, the memcg event relies on the text names in vmstat_text, and /proc/vmstat generates corresponding items based on vmstat_text. Thus, the relevant task migration and swapping events introduced in vmstat_text also need to be populated by count_vm_numa_event(), otherwise these values are zero in /proc/vmstat. In theory, task migration and swap events are part of the scheduler's activities. The reason for exposing them through the memory.stat/vmstat interface is that we already have NUMA balancing statistics in memory.stat/vmstat, and these events are closely related to each other. Following Shakeel's suggestion, we describe the end-to-end flow/story of all these events occurring on a timeline for future reference: The goal of NUMA balancing is to co-locate a task and its memory pages on the same NUMA node. There are two strategies: migrate the pages to the task's node, or migrate the task to the node where its pages reside. Suppose a task p1 is running on Node 0, but its pages are located on Node 1. NUMA page fault statistics for p1 reveal its "page footprint" across nodes. If NUMA balancing detects that most of p1's pages are on Node 1: 1.Page Migration Attempt: The Numa balance first tries to migrate p1's pages to Node 0. The numa_page_migrate counter increments. 2.Task Migration Strategies: After the page migration finishes, Numa balance checks every 1 second to see if p1 can be migrated to Node 1. Case 2.1: Idle CPU Available If Node 1 has an idle CPU, p1 is directly scheduled there. This event is logged as numa_task_migrated. Case 2.2: No Idle CPU (Task Swap) If all CPUs on Node1 are busy, direct migration could cause CPU contention or load imbalance. Instead: The Numa balance selects a candidate task p2 on Node 1 that prefers Node 0 (e.g., due to its own page footprint). p1 and p2 are swapped. This cross-node swap is recorded as numa_task_swapped.

- The 6 patch series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from

mm: vmscan: split proactive reclaim statistics from direct reclaim statistics
Patch series "Adding Proactive Memory Reclaim Statistics". These two patches are related to proactive memory reclaim. Patch 1 Split proactive reclaim statistics from direct reclaim counters and introduces new counters: pgsteal_proactive, pgdemote_proactive, and pgscan_proactive. Patch 2 Adds pswpin and pswpout items to the cgroup-v2 documentation. This patch (of 2): In proactive memory reclaim scenarios, it is necessary to accurately track proactive reclaim statistics to dynamically adjust the frequency and amount of memory being reclaimed proactively. Currently, proactive reclaim is included in direct reclaim statistics, which can make these direct reclaim statistics misleading. Therefore, separate proactive reclaim memory from the direct reclaim counters by introducing new counters: pgsteal_proactive, pgdemote_proactive, and pgscan_proactive, to avoid confusion with direct reclaim.

x86/mm/pat: restore large ROX pages after fragmentation
Change of attributes of the pages may lead to fragmentation of direct mapping over time and performance degradation when these pages contain executable code. With current code it's one way road: kernel tries to avoid splitting large pages, but it doesn't restore them back even if page attributes got compatible again. Any change to the mapping may potentially allow to restore large page. Add a hook to cpa_flush() path that will check if the pages in the range that were just touched can be mapped at PMD level. If the collapse at the PMD level succeeded, also attempt to collapse PUD level. The collapse logic runs only when a set_memory_ method explicitly sets CPA_COLLAPSE flag, for now this is only enabled in set_memory_rox(). CPUs don't like[1] to have to have TLB entries of different size for the same memory, but looks like it's okay as long as these entries have matching attributes[2]. Therefore it's critical to flush TLB before any following changes to the mapping. Note that we already allow for multiple TLB entries of different sizes for the same memory now in split_large_page() path. It's not a new situation. set_memory_4k() provides a way to use 4k pages on purpose. Kernel must not remap such pages as large. Re-use one of software PTE bits to indicate such pages. [1] See Erratum 383 of AMD Family 10h Processors [2] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/1da1b025-cabc-6f04-bde5-e50830d1ecf0@amd.com/ [rppt@kernel.org: * s/restore/collapse/ * update formatting per peterz * use 'struct ptdesc' instead of 'struct page' for list of page tables to be freed * try to collapse PMD first and if it succeeds move on to PUD as peterz suggested * flush TLB twice: for changes done in the original CPA call and after collapsing of large pages * update commit message ] Signed-off-by: "Kirill A.

mm: count zeromap read and set for swapout and swapin
When the proportion of folios from the zeromap is small, missing their accounting may not significantly impact profiling. However, it's easy to construct a scenario where this becomes an issue—for example, allocating 1 GB of memory, writing zeros from userspace, followed by MADV_PAGEOUT, and then swapping it back in. In this case, the swap-out and swap-in counts seem to vanish into a black hole, potentially causing semantic ambiguity. On the other hand, Usama reported that zero-filled pages can exceed 10% in workloads utilizing zswap, while Hailong noted that some app in Android have more than 6% zero-filled pages. Before commit |

mm: split underused THPs
This is an attempt to mitigate the issue of running out of memory when THP is always enabled. During runtime whenever a THP is being faulted in (__do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page) or collapsed by khugepaged (collapse_huge_page), the THP is added to _deferred_list. Whenever memory reclaim happens in linux, the kernel runs the deferred_split shrinker which goes through the _deferred_list. If the folio was partially mapped, the shrinker attempts to split it. If the folio is not partially mapped, the shrinker checks if the THP was underused, i.e. how many of the base 4K pages of the entire THP were zero-filled. If this number goes above a certain threshold (decided by /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_none), the shrinker will attempt to split that THP. Then at remap time, the pages that were zero-filled are mapped to the shared zeropage, hence saving memory.

vmstat: kernel stack usage histogram
As part of the dynamic kernel stack project, we need to know the amount of data that can be saved by reducing the default kernel stack size [1]. Provide a kernel stack usage histogram to aid in optimizing kernel stack sizes and minimizing memory waste in large-scale environments. The histogram divides stack usage into power-of-two buckets and reports the results in /proc/vmstat. This information is especially valuable in environments with millions of machines, where even small optimizations can have a significant impact. The histogram data is presented in /proc/vmstat with entries like "kstack_1k", "kstack_2k", and so on, indicating the number of threads that exited with stack usage falling within each respective bucket. Example outputs: Intel: $ grep kstack /proc/vmstat kstack_1k 3 kstack_2k 188 kstack_4k 11391 kstack_8k 243 kstack_16k 0 ARM with 64K page_size: $ grep kstack /proc/vmstat kstack_1k 1 kstack_2k 340 kstack_4k 25212 kstack_8k 1659 kstack_16k 0 kstack_32k 0 kstack_64k 0 Note: once the dynamic kernel stack is implemented it will depend on the implementation the usability of this feature: On hardware that supports faults on kernel stacks, we will have other metrics that show the total number of pages allocated for stacks. On hardware where faults are not supported, we will most likely have some optimization where only some threads are extended, and for those, these metrics will still be very useful.

mm: add node_reclaim successes to VM event counters
/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.

mm: vmscan: split khugepaged stats from direct reclaim stats
Direct reclaim stats are useful for identifying a potential source for application latency, as well as spotting issues with kswapd. However, khugepaged currently distorts the picture: as a kernel thread it doesn't impose allocation latencies on userspace, and it explicitly opts out of kswapd reclaim. Its activity showing up in the direct reclaim stats is misleading. Counting it as kswapd reclaim could also cause confusion when trying to understand actual kswapd behavior. Break out khugepaged from the direct reclaim counters into new pgsteal_khugepaged, pgdemote_khugepaged, pgscan_khugepaged counters. Test with a huge executable (CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS): pgsteal_kswapd 1342185 pgsteal_direct 0 pgsteal_khugepaged 3623 pgscan_kswapd 1345025 pgscan_direct 0 pgscan_khugepaged 3623 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221026180133.377671-1-hannes@cmpxchg.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Reported-by: Eric Bergen <ebergen@meta.com> Cc: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org> Cc: Yang Shi <shy828301@gmail.com> Cc: Yosry Ahmed <yosryahmed@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> |

mm, thp: track fallbacks due to failed memcg charges separately
The thp_fault_fallback and thp_file_fallback vmstats are incremented if either the hugepage allocation fails through the page allocator or the hugepage charge fails through mem cgroup. This patch leaves this field untouched but adds two new fields, thp_{fault,file}_fallback_charge, which is incremented only when the mem cgroup charge fails. This distinguishes between attempted hugepage allocations that fail due to fragmentation (or low memory conditions) and those that fail due to mem cgroup limits. That can be used to determine the impact of fragmentation on the system by excluding faults that failed due to memcg usage.

mm: get rid of vmacache_flush_all() entirely
Jann Horn points out that the vmacache_flush_all() function is not only potentially expensive, it's buggy too. It also happens to be entirely unnecessary, because the sequence number overflow case can be avoided by simply making the sequence number be 64-bit.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

mm, swap: add swap readahead hit statistics
Patch series "mm, swap: VMA based swap readahead", v4. The swap readahead is an important mechanism to reduce the swap in latency. Although pure sequential memory access pattern isn't very popular for anonymous memory, the space locality is still considered valid. In the original swap readahead implementation, the consecutive blocks in swap device are readahead based on the global space locality estimation. But the consecutive blocks in swap device just reflect the order of page reclaiming, don't necessarily reflect the access pattern in virtual memory space. And the different tasks in the system may have different access patterns, which makes the global space locality estimation incorrect. In this patchset, when page fault occurs, the virtual pages near the fault address will be readahead instead of the swap slots near the fault swap slot in swap device. This avoid to readahead the unrelated swap slots. At the same time, the swap readahead is changed to work on per-VMA from globally. So that the different access patterns of the different VMAs could be distinguished, and the different readahead policy could be applied accordingly. The original core readahead detection and scaling algorithm is reused, because it is an effect algorithm to detect the space locality. In addition to the swap readahead changes, some new sysfs interface is added to show the efficiency of the readahead algorithm and some other swap statistics. This new implementation will incur more small random read, on SSD, the improved correctness of estimation and readahead target should beat the potential increased overhead, this is also illustrated in the test results below. But on HDD, the overhead may beat the benefit, so the original implementation will be used by default. The test and result is as follow, Common test condition ===================== Test Machine: Xeon E5 v3 (2 sockets, 72 threads, 32G RAM) Swap device: NVMe disk Micro-benchmark with combined access pattern ============================================ vm-scalability, sequential swap test case, 4 processes to eat 50G virtual memory space, repeat the sequential memory writing until 300 seconds. The first round writing will trigger swap out, the following rounds will trigger sequential swap in and out. At the same time, run vm-scalability random swap test case in background, 8 processes to eat 30G virtual memory space, repeat the random memory write until 300 seconds. This will trigger random swap-in in the background. This is a combined workload with sequential and random memory accessing at the same time. The result (for sequential workload) is as follow, Base Optimized ---- --------- throughput 345413 KB/s 414029 KB/s (+19.9%) latency.average 97.14 us 61.06 us (-37.1%) latency.50th 2 us 1 us latency.60th 2 us 1 us latency.70th 98 us 2 us latency.80th 160 us 2 us latency.90th 260 us 217 us latency.95th 346 us 369 us latency.99th 1.34 ms 1.09 ms ra_hit% 52.69% 99.98% The original swap readahead algorithm is confused by the background random access workload, so readahead hit rate is lower. The VMA-base readahead algorithm works much better. Linpack ======= The test memory size is bigger than RAM to trigger swapping. Base Optimized ---- --------- elapsed_time 393.49 s 329.88 s (-16.2%) ra_hit% 86.21% 98.82% The score of base and optimized kernel hasn't visible changes. But the elapsed time reduced and readahead hit rate improved, so the optimized kernel runs better for startup and tear down stages. And the absolute value of readahead hit rate is high, shows that the space locality is still valid in some practical workloads. This patch (of 5): The statistics for total readahead pages and total readahead hits are recorded and exported via the following sysfs interface. /sys/kernel/mm/swap/ra_hits /sys/kernel/mm/swap/ra_total With them, the efficiency of the swap readahead could be measured, so that the swap readahead algorithm and parameters could be tuned accordingly.

mm, THP, swap: add THP swapping out fallback counting
When swapping out THP (Transparent Huge Page), instead of swapping out the THP as a whole, sometimes we have to fallback to split the THP into normal pages before swapping, because no free swap clusters are available, or cgroup limit is exceeded, etc. To count the number of the fallback, a new VM event THP_SWPOUT_FALLBACK is added, and counted when we fallback to split the THP.

mm: move MADV_FREE pages into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list
madv()'s MADV_FREE indicate pages are 'lazyfree'. They are still anonymous pages, but they can be freed without pageout. To distinguish these from normal anonymous pages, we clear their SwapBacked flag. MADV_FREE pages could be freed without pageout, so they pretty much like used once file pages. For such pages, we'd like to reclaim them once there is memory pressure. Also it might be unfair reclaiming MADV_FREE pages always before used once file pages and we definitively want to reclaim the pages before other anonymous and file pages. To speed up MADV_FREE pages reclaim, we put the pages into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list. The rationale is LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list is tiny nowadays and should be full of used once file pages. Reclaiming MADV_FREE pages will not have much interfere of anonymous and active file pages. And the inactive file pages and MADV_FREE pages will be reclaimed according to their age, so we don't reclaim too many MADV_FREE pages too. Putting the MADV_FREE pages into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE_LIST also means we can reclaim the pages without swap support. This idea is suggested by Johannes. This patch doesn't move MADV_FREE pages to LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list yet to avoid bisect failure, next patch will do it. The patch is based on Minchan's original patch.

mm, compaction: add vmstats for kcompactd work
A "compact_daemon_wake" vmstat exists that represents the number of times kcompactd has woken up. This doesn't represent how much work it actually did, though. It's useful to understand how much compaction work is being done by kcompactd versus other methods such as direct compaction and explicitly triggered per-node (or system) compaction. This adds two new vmstats: "compact_daemon_migrate_scanned" and "compact_daemon_free_scanned" to represent the number of pages kcompactd has scanned as part of its migration scanner and freeing scanner, respectively. These values are still accounted for in the general "compact_migrate_scanned" and "compact_free_scanned" for compatibility. It could be argued that explicitly triggered compaction could also be tracked separately, and that could be added if others find it useful.

mm: vmstat: account per-zone stalls and pages skipped during reclaim
The vmstat allocstall was fairly useful in the general sense but node-based LRUs change that. It's important to know if a stall was for an address-limited allocation request as this will require skipping pages from other zones. This patch adds pgstall_* counters to replace allocstall. The sum of the counters will equal the old allocstall so it can be trivially recalculated. A high number of address-limited allocation requests may result in a lot of useless LRU scanning for suitable pages. As address-limited allocations require pages to be skipped, it's important to know how much useless LRU scanning took place so this patch adds pgskip* counters. This yields the following model 1. The number of address-space limited stalls can be accounted for (pgstall) 2. The amount of useless work required to reclaim the data is accounted (pgskip) 3. The total number of scans is available from pgscan_kswapd and pgscan_direct so from that the ratio of useful to useless scans can be calculated.

mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to node
This moves the LRU lists from the zone to the node and related data such as counters, tracing, congestion tracking and writeback tracking. Unfortunately, due to reclaim and compaction retry logic, it is necessary to account for the number of LRU pages on both zone and node logic. Most reclaim logic is based on the node counters but the retry logic uses the zone counters which do not distinguish inactive and active sizes. It would be possible to leave the LRU counters on a per-zone basis but it's a heavier calculation across multiple cache lines that is much more frequent than the retry checks. Other than the LRU counters, this is mostly a mechanical patch but note that it introduces a number of anomalies. For example, the scans are per-zone but using per-node counters. We also mark a node as congested when a zone is congested. This causes weird problems that are fixed later but is easier to review. In the event that there is excessive overhead on 32-bit systems due to the nodes being on LRU then there are two potential solutions 1. Long-term isolation of highmem pages when reclaim is lowmem When pages are skipped, they are immediately added back onto the LRU list. If lowmem reclaim persisted for long periods of time, the same highmem pages get continually scanned. The idea would be that lowmem keeps those pages on a separate list until a reclaim for highmem pages arrives that splices the highmem pages back onto the LRU. It potentially could be implemented similar to the UNEVICTABLE list. That would reduce the skip rate with the potential corner case is that highmem pages have to be scanned and reclaimed to free lowmem slab pages. 2. Linear scan lowmem pages if the initial LRU shrink fails This will break LRU ordering but may be preferable and faster during memory pressure than skipping LRU pages.

mm, compaction: introduce kcompactd
Memory compaction can be currently performed in several contexts: - kswapd balancing a zone after a high-order allocation failure - direct compaction to satisfy a high-order allocation, including THP page fault attemps - khugepaged trying to collapse a hugepage - manually from /proc The purpose of compaction is two-fold. The obvious purpose is to satisfy a (pending or future) high-order allocation, and is easy to evaluate. The other purpose is to keep overal memory fragmentation low and help the anti-fragmentation mechanism. The success wrt the latter purpose is more The current situation wrt the purposes has a few drawbacks: - compaction is invoked only when a high-order page or hugepage is not available (or manually). This might be too late for the purposes of keeping memory fragmentation low. - direct compaction increases latency of allocations. Again, it would be better if compaction was performed asynchronously to keep fragmentation low, before the allocation itself comes. - (a special case of the previous) the cost of compaction during THP page faults can easily offset the benefits of THP. - kswapd compaction appears to be complex, fragile and not working in some scenarios. It could also end up compacting for a high-order allocation request when it should be reclaiming memory for a later order-0 request. To improve the situation, we should be able to benefit from an equivalent of kswapd, but for compaction - i.e. a background thread which responds to fragmentation and the need for high-order allocations (including hugepages) somewhat proactively. One possibility is to extend the responsibilities of kswapd, which could however complicate its design too much. It should be better to let kswapd handle reclaim, as order-0 allocations are often more critical than high-order ones. Another possibility is to extend khugepaged, but this kthread is a single instance and tied to THP configs. This patch goes with the option of a new set of per-node kthreads called kcompactd, and lays the foundations, without introducing any new tunables. The lifecycle mimics kswapd kthreads, including the memory hotplug hooks. For compaction, kcompactd uses the standard compaction_suitable() and ompact_finished() criteria and the deferred compaction functionality. Unlike direct compaction, it uses only sync compaction, as there's no allocation latency to minimize. This patch doesn't yet add a call to wakeup_kcompactd. The kswapd compact/reclaim loop for high-order pages will be replaced by waking up kcompactd in the next patch with the description of what's wrong with the old approach. Waking up of the kcompactd threads is also tied to kswapd activity and follows these rules: - we don't want to affect any fastpaths, so wake up kcompactd only from the slowpath, as it's done for kswapd - if kswapd is doing reclaim, it's more important than compaction, so don't invoke kcompactd until kswapd goes to sleep - the target order used for kswapd is passed to kcompactd Future possible future uses for kcompactd include the ability to wake up kcompactd on demand in special situations, such as when hugepages are not available (currently not done due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD) or when a fragmentation event (i.e. __rmqueue_fallback()) occurs. It's also possible to perform periodic compaction with kcompactd.

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

mm/balloon_compaction: add vmstat counters and kpageflags bit
Always mark pages with PageBalloon even if balloon compaction is disabled and expose this mark in /proc/kpageflags as KPF_BALLOON. Also this patch adds three counters into /proc/vmstat: "balloon_inflate", "balloon_deflate" and "balloon_migrate". They accumulate balloon activity. Current size of balloon is (balloon_inflate - balloon_deflate) pages. All generic balloon code now gathered under option CONFIG_MEMORY_BALLOON. It should be selected by ballooning driver which wants use this feature. Currently virtio-balloon is the only user.

drop_caches: add some documentation and info message
There is plenty of anecdotal evidence and a load of blog posts suggesting that using "drop_caches" periodically keeps your system running in "tip top shape". Perhaps adding some kernel documentation will increase the amount of accurate data on its use. If we are not shrinking caches effectively, then we have real bugs. Using drop_caches will simply mask the bugs and make them harder to find, but certainly does not fix them, nor is it an appropriate "workaround" to limit the size of the caches. On the contrary, there have been bug reports on issues that turned out to be misguided use of cache dropping. Dropping caches is a very drastic and disruptive operation that is good for debugging and running tests, but if it creates bug reports from production use, kernel developers should be aware of its use. Add a bit more documentation about it, a syslog message to track down abusers, and vmstat drop counters to help analyze problem reports.
