Some comments for MADV_FREE is revised and added to help people understand
the MADV_FREE code, especially the page flag, PG_swapbacked. This makes
page_is_file_cache() isn't consistent with its comments. So the function
is renamed to page_is_file_lru() to make them consistent again. All these
are put in one patch as one logical change.

kswapd kernel thread starts either with a CPU affinity set to the full cpu
mask of its target node or without any affinity at all if the node is
CPUless. There is a cpu hotplug callback (kswapd_cpu_online) that
implements an elaborate way to update this mask when a cpu is onlined.
It is not really clear whether there is any actual benefit from this
scheme. Completely CPU-less NUMA nodes rarely gain a new CPU during
runtime. Drop the code for that reason. If there is a real usecase then
we can resurrect and simplify the code.

When backporting commit 9c4e6b1a7027 ("mm, mlock, vmscan: no more skipping
pagevecs") to our 4.9 kernel, our test bench noticed around 10% down with
a couple of vm-scalability's test cases (lru-file-readonce,
lru-file-readtwice and lru-file-mmap-read). I didn't see that much down
on my VM (32c-64g-2nodes). It might be caused by the test configuration,
which is 32c-256g with NUMA disabled and the tests were run in root memcg,
so the tests actually stress only one inactive and active lru. It sounds
not very usual in mordern production environment.
That commit did two major changes:
1. Call page_evictable()
2. Use smp_mb to force the PG_lru set visible
It looks they contribute the most overhead. The page_evictable() is a
function which does function prologue and epilogue, and that was used by
page reclaim path only. However, lru add is a very hot path, so it sounds
better to make it inline. However, it calls page_mapping() which is not
inlined either, but the disassemble shows it doesn't do push and pop
operations and it sounds not very straightforward to inline it.
Other than this, it sounds smp_mb() is not necessary for x86 since
SetPageLRU is atomic which enforces memory barrier already, replace it
with smp_mb__after_atomic() in the following patch.
With the two fixes applied, the tests can get back around 5% on that test
bench and get back normal on my VM. Since the test bench configuration is
not that usual and I also saw around 6% up on the latest upstream, so it
sounds good enough IMHO.
The below is test data (lru-file-readtwice throughput) against the v5.6-rc4:
mainline w/ inline fix
150MB 154MB
With this patch the throughput gets 2.67% up. The data with using
smp_mb__after_atomic() is showed in the following patch.
Shakeel Butt did the below test:
On a real machine with limiting the 'dd' on a single node and reading 100
GiB sparse file (less than a single node). Just ran a single instance to
not cause the lru lock contention. The cmdline used is "dd if=file-100GiB
of=/dev/null bs=4k". Ran the cmd 10 times with drop_caches in between and
measured the time it took.
Without patch: 56.64143 +- 0.672 sec

Commit 68600f623d69 ("mm: don't miss the last page because of round-off
error") makes the scan size round up to @denominator regardless of the
memory cgroup's state, online or offline. This affects the overall
reclaiming behavior: the corresponding LRU list is eligible for
reclaiming only when its size logically right shifted by @sc->priority
is bigger than zero in the former formula.
For example, the inactive anonymous LRU list should have at least 0x4000
pages to be eligible for reclaiming when we have 60/12 for
swappiness/priority and without taking scan/rotation ratio into account.
After the roundup is applied, the inactive anonymous LRU list becomes
eligible for reclaiming when its size is bigger than or equal to 0x1000
in the same condition.
(0x4000 >> 12) * 60 / (60 + 140 + 1) = 1
((0x1000 >> 12) * 60) + 200) / (60 + 140 + 1) = 1
aarch64 has 512MB huge page size when the base page size is 64KB. The
memory cgroup that has a huge page is always eligible for reclaiming in
that case.
The reclaiming is likely to stop after the huge page is reclaimed,
meaing the further iteration on @sc->priority and the silbing and child
memory cgroups will be skipped. The overall behaviour has been changed.
This fixes the issue by applying the roundup to offlined memory cgroups
only, to give more preference to reclaim memory from offlined memory
cgroup. It sounds reasonable as those memory is unlikedly to be used by
anyone.
The issue was found by starting up 8 VMs on a Ampere Mustang machine,
which has 8 CPUs and 16 GB memory. Each VM is given with 2 vCPUs and
2GB memory. It took 264 seconds for all VMs to be completely up and
784MB swap is consumed after that. With this patch applied, it took 236
seconds and 60MB swap to do same thing. So there is 10% performance
improvement for my case. Note that KSM is disable while THP is enabled
in the testing.

Since commit 0a432dcbeb32 ("mm: shrinker: make shrinker not depend on
memcg kmem"), shrinkers' idr is protected by CONFIG_MEMCG instead of
CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM, so it makes no sense to protect shrinker idr replace
with CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM.
And in the CONFIG_MEMCG && CONFIG_SLOB case, shrinker_idr contains only
shrinker, and it is deferred_split_shrinker. But it is never actually
called, since idr_replace() is never compiled due to the wrong #ifdef.
The deferred_split_shrinker all the time is staying in half-registered
state, and it's never called for subordinate mem cgroups.

We split the LRU lists into inactive and an active parts to maximize
workingset protection while allowing just enough inactive cache space to
faciltate readahead and writeback for one-off file accesses (e.g. a
linear scan through a file, or logging); or just enough inactive anon to
maintain recent reference information when reclaim needs to swap.
With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this
correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU
order among the pages of all involved cgroups, inactive:active size
decisions are done on a per-cgroup level. As a result, we'll reclaim a
cgroup's workingset when it doesn't have cold pages, even when one of its
siblings has plenty of it that should be reclaimed first.
For example: workload A has 50M worth of hot cache but doesn't do any
one-off file accesses; meanwhile, parallel workload B scans files and
rarely accesses the same page twice.
If these workloads were to run in an uncgrouped system, A would be
protected from the high rate of cache faults from B. But if they were put
in parallel cgroups for memory accounting purposes, B's fast cache fault
rate would push out the hot cache pages of A. This is unexpected and
undesirable - the "scan resistance" of the page cache is broken.
This patch moves inactive:active size balancing decisions to the root of
reclaim - the same level where the LRU order is established.
It does this by looking at the recursive size of the inactive and the
active file sets of the cgroup subtree at the beginning of the reclaim
cycle, and then making a decision - scan or skip active pages - that
applies throughout the entire run and to every cgroup involved.
With that in place, in the test above, the VM will recognize that there
are plenty of inactive pages in the combined cache set of workloads A and
B and prefer the one-off cache in B over the hot pages in A. The scan
resistance of the cache is restored.

We use refault information to determine whether the cache workingset is
stable or transitioning, and dynamically adjust the inactive:active file
LRU ratio so as to maximize protection from one-off cache during stable
periods, and minimize IO during transitions.
With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this
correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU
order among the pages of all involved cgroups, refaults only affect the
local LRU order in the cgroup in which they are occuring. As a result,
cache transitions can take longer in a cgrouped system as the active pages
of sibling cgroups aren't challenged when they should be.
[ Right now, this is somewhat theoretical, because the siblings, under
continued regular reclaim pressure, should eventually run out of
inactive pages - and since inactive:active *size* balancing is also
done on a cgroup-local level, we will challenge the active pages
eventually in most cases. But the next patch will move that relative
size enforcement to the reclaim root as well, and then this patch
here will be necessary to propagate refault pressure to siblings. ]
This patch moves refault detection to the root of reclaim. Instead of
remembering the cgroup owner of an evicted page, remember the cgroup that
caused the reclaim to happen. When refaults later occur, they'll
correctly influence the cross-cgroup LRU order that reclaim follows.
I.e. if global reclaim kicked out pages in some subgroup A/B/C, the
refault of those pages will challenge the global LRU order, and not just
the local order down inside C.

Patch series "mm: fix page aging across multiple cgroups".
When applications are put into unconfigured cgroups for memory accounting
purposes, the cgrouping itself should not change the behavior of the page
reclaim code. We expect the VM to reclaim the coldest pages in the
system. But right now the VM can reclaim hot pages in one cgroup while
there is eligible cold cache in others.
This is because one part of the reclaim algorithm isn't truly cgroup
hierarchy aware: the inactive/active list balancing. That is the part
that is supposed to protect hot cache data from one-off streaming IO.
The recursive cgroup reclaim scheme will scan and rotate the physical LRU
lists of each eligible cgroup at the same rate in a round-robin fashion,
thereby establishing a relative order among the pages of all those
cgroups. However, the inactive/active balancing decisions are made
locally within each cgroup, so when a cgroup is running low on cold pages,
its hot pages will get reclaimed - even when sibling cgroups have plenty
of cold cache eligible in the same reclaim run.
For example:
[root@ham ~]# head -n1 /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 1016336 kB
[root@ham ~]# ./reclaimtest2.sh
Establishing 50M active files in cgroup A...
Hot pages cached: 12800/12800 workingset-a
Linearly scanning through 18G of file data in cgroup B:
real 0m4.269s
user 0m0.051s
sys 0m4.182s
Hot pages cached: 134/12800 workingset-a
The streaming IO in B, which doesn't benefit from caching at all, pushes
out most of the workingset in A.
Solution
This series fixes the problem by elevating inactive/active balancing
decisions to the toplevel of the reclaim run. This is either a cgroup
that hit its limit, or straight-up global reclaim if there is physical
memory pressure. From there, it takes a recursive view of the cgroup
subtree to decide whether page deactivation is necessary.
In the test above, the VM will then recognize that cgroup B has plenty of
eligible cold cache, and that the hot pages in A can be spared:
[root@ham ~]# ./reclaimtest2.sh
Establishing 50M active files in cgroup A...
Hot pages cached: 12800/12800 workingset-a
Linearly scanning through 18G of file data in cgroup B:
real 0m4.244s
user 0m0.064s
sys 0m4.177s
Hot pages cached: 12800/12800 workingset-a
Implementation
Whether active pages can be deactivated or not is influenced by two
factors: the inactive list dropping below a minimum size relative to the
active list, and the occurence of refaults.
This patch series first moves refault detection to the reclaim root, then
enforces the minimum inactive size based on a recursive view of the cgroup
tree's LRUs.
History
Note that this actually never worked correctly in Linux cgroups. In the
past it worked for global reclaim and leaf limit reclaim only (we used to
have two physical LRU linkages per page), but it never worked for
intermediate limit reclaim over multiple leaf cgroups.
We're noticing this now because 1) we're putting everything into cgroups
for accounting, not just the things we want to control and 2) we're moving
away from leaf limits that invoke reclaim on individual cgroups, toward
large tree reclaim, triggered by high-level limits, or physical memory
pressure that is influenced by local protections such as memory.low and
memory.min instead.
This patch (of 3):
When file pages are lower than the watermark on a node, we try to force
scan anonymous pages to counter-act the balancing algorithms preference
for new file pages when they are likely thrashing. This is a node-level
decision, but it's currently made each time we look at an lruvec. This is
unnecessarily expensive and also a layering violation that makes the code
harder to understand.
Clean this up by making the check once per node and setting a flag in the
scan_control.

The current writeback congestion tracking has separate flags for kswapd
reclaim (node level) and cgroup limit reclaim (memcg-node level). This is
unnecessarily complicated: the lruvec is an existing abstraction layer for
that node-memcg intersection.
Introduce lruvec->flags and LRUVEC_CONGESTED. Then track that at the
reclaim root level, which is either the NUMA node for global reclaim, or
the cgroup-node intersection for cgroup reclaim.

This function is getting long and unwieldy, split out the memcg bits.
The updated shrink_node() handles the generic (node) reclaim aspects:
- global vmpressure notifications
- writeback and congestion throttling
- reclaim/compaction management
- kswapd giving up on unreclaimable nodes
It then calls a new shrink_node_memcgs() which handles cgroup specifics:
- the cgroup tree traversal
- memory.low considerations
- per-cgroup slab shrinking callbacks
- per-cgroup vmpressure notifications

An lruvec holds LRU pages owned by a certain NUMA node and cgroup.
Instead of awkwardly passing around a combination of a pgdat and a memcg
pointer, pass down the lruvec as soon as we can look it up.
Nested callers that need to access node or cgroup properties can look them
them up if necessary, but there are only a few cases.

Most of the function body is inside a loop, which imposes an additional
indentation and scoping level that makes the code a bit hard to follow and
modify.
The looping only happens in case of reclaim-compaction, which isn't the
common case. So rather than adding yet another function level to the
reclaim path and have every reclaim invocation go through a level that
only exists for one specific cornercase, use a retry goto.

Seven years after introducing the global_reclaim() function, I still have
to double take when reading a callsite. I don't know how others do it,
this is a terrible name.
Invert the meaning and rename it to cgroup_reclaim().
[ After all, "global reclaim" is just regular reclaim invoked from the
page allocator. It's reclaim on behalf of a cgroup limit that is a
special case of reclaim, and should be explicit - not the reverse. ]
sane_reclaim() isn't very descriptive either: it tests whether we can use
the regular writeback throttling - available during regular page reclaim
or cgroup2 limit reclaim - or need to use the broken
wait_on_page_writeback() method. Use "writeback_throttling_sane()".

inactive_list_is_low() should be about one thing: checking the ratio
between inactive and active list. Kitchensink checks like the one for
swap space makes the function hard to use and modify its callsites.
Luckly, most callers already have an understanding of the swap situation,
so it's easy to clean up.
get_scan_count() has its own, memcg-aware swap check, and doesn't even get
to the inactive_list_is_low() check on the anon list when there is no swap
space available.
shrink_list() is called on the results of get_scan_count(), so that check
is redundant too.
age_active_anon() has its own totalswap_pages check right before it checks
the list proportions.
The shrink_node_memcg() site is the only one that doesn't do its own swap
check. Add it there.
Then delete the swap check from inactive_list_is_low().

There is a per-memcg lruvec and a NUMA node lruvec. Which one is being
used is somewhat confusing right now, and it's easy to make mistakes -
especially when it comes to global reclaim.
How it works: when memory cgroups are enabled, we always use the
root_mem_cgroup's per-node lruvecs. When memory cgroups are not compiled
in or disabled at runtime, we use pgdat->lruvec.
Document that in a comment.
Due to the way the reclaim code is generalized, all lookups use the
mem_cgroup_lruvec() helper function, and nobody should have to find the
right lruvec manually right now. But to avoid future mistakes, rename the
pgdat->lruvec member to pgdat->__lruvec and delete the convenience wrapper
that suggests it's a commonly accessed member.
While in this area, swap the mem_cgroup_lruvec() argument order. The name
suggests a memcg operation, yet it takes a pgdat first and a memcg second.
I have to double take every time I call this. Fix that.

Here are 8 patches that clean up the reclaim code's interaction with
cgroups a bit. They're not supposed to change any behavior, just make
the implementation easier to understand and work with.
This patch (of 8):
This function currently takes the node or lruvec size and subtracts the
zones that are excluded by the classzone index of the allocation. It uses
four different types of counters to do this.
Just add up the eligible zones.

Since commit 1ba6fc9af35b ("mm: vmscan: do not share cgroup iteration
between reclaimers"), the memcg reclaim does not bail out earlier based
on sc->nr_reclaimed and will traverse all the nodes. All the
reclaimable pages of the memcg on all the nodes will be scanned relative
to the reclaim priority. So, there is no need to maintain state
regarding which node to start the memcg reclaim from.
This patch effectively reverts the commit 889976dbcb12 ("memcg: reclaim
memory from nodes in round-robin order") and commit 453a9bf347f1
("memcg: fix numa scan information update to be triggered by memory

lru_zone_size
Commit 1a61ab8038e72 ("mm: memcontrol: replace zone summing with
lruvec_page_state()") has made lruvec_page_state to use per-cpu counters
instead of calculating it directly from lru_zone_size with an idea that
this would be more effective.
Tim has reported that this is not really the case for their database
benchmark which is showing an opposite results where lruvec_page_state
is taking up a huge chunk of CPU cycles (about 25% of the system time
which is roughly 7% of total cpu cycles) on 5.3 kernels. The workload
is running on a larger machine (96cpus), it has many cgroups (500) and
it is heavily direct reclaim bound.
Tim Chen said:

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

This patch is an incremental improvement on the existing
memory.{low,min} relative reclaim work to base its scan pressure
calculations on how much protection is available compared to the current
usage, rather than how much the current usage is over some protection
threshold.
This change doesn't change the experience for the user in the normal
case too much. One benefit is that it replaces the (somewhat arbitrary)
100% cutoff with an indefinite slope, which makes it easier to ballpark
a memory.low value.
As well as this, the old methodology doesn't quite apply generically to
machines with varying amounts of physical memory. Let's say we have a
top level cgroup, workload.slice, and another top level cgroup,
system-management.slice. We want to roughly give 12G to
system-management.slice, so on a 32GB machine we set memory.low to 20GB
in workload.slice, and on a 64GB machine we set memory.low to 52GB.
However, because these are relative amounts to the total machine size,
while the amount of memory we want to generally be willing to yield to
system.slice is absolute (12G), we end up putting more pressure on
system.slice just because we have a larger machine and a larger workload
to fill it, which seems fairly unintuitive. With this new behaviour, we
don't end up with this unintended side effect.
Previously the way that memory.low protection works is that if you are
50% over a certain baseline, you get 50% of your normal scan pressure.
This is certainly better than the previous cliff-edge behaviour, but it
can be improved even further by always considering memory under the
currently enforced protection threshold to be out of bounds. This means
that we can set relatively low memory.low thresholds for variable or
bursty workloads while still getting a reasonable level of protection,
whereas with the previous version we may still trivially hit the 100%
clamp. The previous 100% clamp is also somewhat arbitrary, whereas this
one is more concretely based on the currently enforced protection
threshold, which is likely easier to reason about.
There is also a subtle issue with the way that proportional reclaim
worked previously -- it promotes having no memory.low, since it makes
pressure higher during low reclaim. This happens because we base our
scan pressure modulation on how far memory.current is between memory.min
and memory.low, but if memory.low is unset, we only use the overage
method. In most cromulent configurations, this then means that we end
up with *more* pressure than with no memory.low at all when we're in low
reclaim, which is not really very usable or expected.
With this patch, memory.low and memory.min affect reclaim pressure in a
more understandable and composable way. For example, from a user
standpoint, "protected" memory now remains untouchable from a reclaim
aggression standpoint, and users can also have more confidence that
bursty workloads will still receive some amount of guaranteed
protection.

Roman points out that when when we do the low reclaim pass, we scale the
reclaim pressure relative to position between 0 and the maximum
protection threshold.
However, if the maximum protection is based on memory.elow, and
memory.emin is above zero, this means we still may get binary behaviour
on second-pass low reclaim. This is because we scale starting at 0, not
starting at memory.emin, and since we don't scan at all below emin, we
end up with cliff behaviour.
This should be a fairly uncommon case since usually we don't go into the
second pass, but it makes sense to scale our low reclaim pressure
starting at emin.
You can test this by catting two large sparse files, one in a cgroup
with emin set to some moderate size compared to physical RAM, and
another cgroup without any emin. In both cgroups, set an elow larger
than 50% of physical RAM. The one with emin will have less page
scanning, as reclaim pressure is lower.
Rebase on top of and apply the same idea as what was applied to handle
cgroup_memory=disable properly for the original proportional patch

cgroup v2 introduces two memory protection thresholds: memory.low
(best-effort) and memory.min (hard protection). While they generally do
what they say on the tin, there is a limitation in their implementation
that makes them difficult to use effectively: that cliff behaviour often
manifests when they become eligible for reclaim. This patch implements
more intuitive and usable behaviour, where we gradually mount more
reclaim pressure as cgroups further and further exceed their protection
thresholds.
This cliff edge behaviour happens because we only choose whether or not
to reclaim based on whether the memcg is within its protection limits
(see the use of mem_cgroup_protected in shrink_node), but we don't vary
our reclaim behaviour based on this information. Imagine the following
timeline, with the numbers the lruvec size in this zone:
1. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=999999. 0 pages may be scanned.
2. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=1000000. 0 pages may be scanned.
3. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=1000001. 1000001* pages may be
scanned. (?!)
* Of course, we won't usually scan all available pages in the zone even
without this patch because of scan control priority, over-reclaim
protection, etc. However, as shown by the tests at the end, these
techniques don't sufficiently throttle such an extreme change in input,
so cliff-like behaviour isn't really averted by their existence alone.
Here's an example of how this plays out in practice. At Facebook, we are
trying to protect various workloads from "system" software, like
configuration management tools, metric collectors, etc (see this[0] case
study). In order to find a suitable memory.low value, we start by
determining the expected memory range within which the workload will be
comfortable operating. This isn't an exact science -- memory usage deemed
"comfortable" will vary over time due to user behaviour, differences in
composition of work, etc, etc. As such we need to ballpark memory.low,
but doing this is currently problematic:
1. If we end up setting it too low for the workload, it won't have
*any* effect (see discussion above). The group will receive the full
weight of reclaim and won't have any priority while competing with the
less important system software, as if we had no memory.low configured
at all.
2. Because of this behaviour, we end up erring on the side of setting
it too high, such that the comfort range is reliably covered. However,
protected memory is completely unavailable to the rest of the system,
so we might cause undue memory and IO pressure there when we *know* we
have some elasticity in the workload.
3. Even if we get the value totally right, smack in the middle of the
comfort zone, we get extreme jumps between no pressure and full
pressure that cause unpredictable pressure spikes in the workload due
to the current binary reclaim behaviour.
With this patch, we can set it to our ballpark estimation without too much
worry. Any undesirable behaviour, such as too much or too little reclaim
pressure on the workload or system will be proportional to how far our
estimation is off. This means we can set memory.low much more
conservatively and thus waste less resources *without* the risk of the
workload falling off a cliff if we overshoot.
As a more abstract technical description, this unintuitive behaviour
results in having to give high-priority workloads a large protection
buffer on top of their expected usage to function reliably, as otherwise
we have abrupt periods of dramatically increased memory pressure which
hamper performance. Having to set these thresholds so high wastes
resources and generally works against the principle of work conservation.
In addition, having proportional memory reclaim behaviour has other
benefits. Most notably, before this patch it's basically mandatory to set
memory.low to a higher than desirable value because otherwise as soon as
you exceed memory.low, all protection is lost, and all pages are eligible
to scan again. By contrast, having a gradual ramp in reclaim pressure
means that you now still get some protection when thresholds are exceeded,
which means that one can now be more comfortable setting memory.low to
lower values without worrying that all protection will be lost. This is
important because workingset size is really hard to know exactly,
especially with variable workloads, so at least getting *some* protection
if your workingset size grows larger than you expect increases user
confidence in setting memory.low without a huge buffer on top being
needed.
Thanks a lot to Johannes Weiner and Tejun Heo for their advice and
assistance in thinking about how to make this work better.
In testing these changes, I intended to verify that:
1. Changes in page scanning become gradual and proportional instead of
binary.
To test this, I experimented stepping further and further down
memory.low protection on a workload that floats around 19G workingset
when under memory.low protection, watching page scan rates for the
workload cgroup:
+------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+
| memory.low | test (pgscan/s) | control (pgscan/s) | % of control |
+------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+
| 21G | 0 | 0 | N/A |
| 17G | 867 | 3799 | 23% |
| 12G | 1203 | 3543 | 34% |
| 8G | 2534 | 3979 | 64% |
| 4G | 3980 | 4147 | 96% |
| 0 | 3799 | 3980 | 95% |
+------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+
As you can see, the test kernel (with a kernel containing this
patch) ramps up page scanning significantly more gradually than the
control kernel (without this patch).
2. More gradual ramp up in reclaim aggression doesn't result in
premature OOMs.
To test this, I wrote a script that slowly increments the number of
pages held by stress(1)'s --vm-keep mode until a production system
entered severe overall memory contention. This script runs in a highly
protected slice taking up the majority of available system memory.
Watching vmstat revealed that page scanning continued essentially
nominally between test and control, without causing forward reclaim
progress to become arrested.

When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range for a long
time, it could hint kernel that the pages can be reclaimed instantly but
data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce workingset
eviction so it ends up increasing performance.
This patch introduces the new MADV_PAGEOUT hint to madvise(2) syscall.
MADV_PAGEOUT can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not
expected to be used for a long time so that kernel reclaims *any LRU*
pages instantly. The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to
evict proactively.
A note: It doesn't apply SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX LRU page isolation limit
intentionally because it's automatically bounded by PMD size. If PMD
size(e.g., 256) makes some trouble, we could fix it later by limit it to
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX[1].
- man-page material
MADV_PAGEOUT (since Linux x.x)
Do not expect access in the near future so pages in the specified
regions could be reclaimed instantly regardless of memory pressure.
Thus, access in the range after successful operation could cause
major page fault but never lose the up-to-date contents unlike
MADV_DONTNEED. Pages belonging to a shared mapping are only processed
if a write access is allowed for the calling process.
MADV_PAGEOUT cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or
VM_PFNMAP pages.

The local variable references in shrink_page_list is PAGEREF_RECLAIM_CLEAN
as default. It is for preventing to reclaim dirty pages when CMA try to
migrate pages. Strictly speaking, we don't need it because CMA didn't
allow to write out by .may_writepage = 0 in reclaim_clean_pages_from_list.
Moreover, it has a problem to prevent anonymous pages's swap out even
though force_reclaim = true in shrink_page_list on upcoming patch. So
this patch makes references's default value to PAGEREF_RECLAIM and rename
force_reclaim with ignore_references to make it more clear.
This is a preparatory work for next patch.

Currently shrinker is just allocated and can work when memcg kmem is
enabled. But, THP deferred split shrinker is not slab shrinker, it
doesn't make too much sense to have such shrinker depend on memcg kmem.
It should be able to reclaim THP even though memcg kmem is disabled.
Introduce a new shrinker flag, SHRINKER_NONSLAB, for non-slab shrinker.
When memcg kmem is disabled, just such shrinkers can be called in
shrinking memcg slab.

A later patch makes THP deferred split shrinker memcg aware, but it needs
page->mem_cgroup information in THP destructor, which is called after
mem_cgroup_uncharge() now.
So move mem_cgroup_uncharge() from __page_cache_release() to compound page
destructor, which is called by both THP and other compound pages except
HugeTLB. And call it in __put_single_page() for single order page.

After commit "mm, reclaim: make should_continue_reclaim perform dryrun
detection", closer look at the function shows, that nr_reclaimed == 0
means the function will always return false. And since non-zero
nr_reclaimed implies non_zero nr_scanned, testing nr_scanned serves no
purpose, and so does the testing for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL.
This patch thus cleans up the function to test only !nr_reclaimed upfront,
and remove the __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL test and nr_scanned parameter
completely. Comment is also updated, explaining that approximating "full
LRU list has been scanned" with nr_scanned == 0 didn't really work.

Patch series "address hugetlb page allocation stalls", v2.
Allocation of hugetlb pages via sysctl or procfs can stall for minutes or
hours. A simple example on a two node system with 8GB of memory is as
follows:
echo 4096 > /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
echo 4096 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
Obviously, both allocation attempts will fall short of their 8GB goal.
However, one or both of these commands may stall and not be interruptible.
The issues were initially discussed in mail thread [1] and RFC code at
[2].
This series addresses the issues causing the stalls. There are two
distinct fixes, a cleanup, and an optimization. The reclaim patch by
Hillf and compaction patch by Vlasitmil address corner cases in their
respective areas. hugetlb page allocation could stall due to either of
these issues. Vlasitmil added a cleanup patch after Hillf's
modifications. The hugetlb patch by Mike is an optimization suggested
during the debug and development process.

[2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190724175014.9935-1-mike.kravetz@oracle.com
This patch (of 4):
Address the issue of should_continue_reclaim returning true too often for
__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL attempts when !nr_reclaimed and nr_scanned. This was
observed during hugetlb page allocation causing stalls for minutes or
hours.
We can stop reclaiming pages if compaction reports it can make a progress.
There might be side-effects for other high-order allocations that would
potentially benefit from reclaiming more before compaction so that they
would be faster and less likely to stall. However, the consequences of
premature/over-reclaim are considered worse.
We can also bail out of reclaiming pages if we know that there are not
enough inactive lru pages left to satisfy the costly allocation.
We can give up reclaiming pages too if we see dryrun occur, with the
certainty of plenty of inactive pages. IOW with dryrun detected, we are
sure we have reclaimed as many pages as we could.

One of our services observed a high rate of cgroup OOM kills in the
presence of large amounts of clean cache. Debugging showed that the
culprit is the shared cgroup iteration in page reclaim.
Under high allocation concurrency, multiple threads enter reclaim at the
same time. Fearing overreclaim when we first switched from the single
global LRU to cgrouped LRU lists, we introduced a shared iteration state
for reclaim invocations - whether 1 or 20 reclaimers are active
concurrently, we only walk the cgroup tree once: the 1st reclaimer
reclaims the first cgroup, the second the second one etc. With more
reclaimers than cgroups, we start another walk from the top.
This sounded reasonable at the time, but the problem is that reclaim
concurrency doesn't scale with allocation concurrency. As reclaim
concurrency increases, the amount of memory individual reclaimers get to
scan gets smaller and smaller. Individual reclaimers may only see one
cgroup per cycle, and that may not have much reclaimable memory. We see
individual reclaimers declare OOM when there is plenty of reclaimable
memory available in cgroups they didn't visit.
This patch does away with the shared iterator, and every reclaimer is
allowed to scan the full cgroup tree and see all of reclaimable memory,
just like it would on a non-cgrouped system. This way, when OOM is
declared, we know that the reclaimer actually had a chance.
To still maintain fairness in reclaim pressure, disallow cgroup reclaim
from bailing out of the tree walk early. Kswapd and regular direct
reclaim already don't bail, so it's not clear why limit reclaim would have
to, especially since it only walks subtrees to begin with.
This change completely eliminates the OOM kills on our service, while
showing no signs of overreclaim - no increased scan rates, %sys time, or
abrupt free memory spikes. I tested across 100 machines that have 64G of
RAM and host about 300 cgroups each.
[ It's possible overreclaim never was a *practical* issue to begin
with - it was simply a concern we had on the mailing lists at the
time, with no real data to back it up. But we have also added more
bail-out conditions deeper inside reclaim (e.g. the proportional
exit in shrink_node_memcg) since. Regardless, now we have data that
suggests full walks are more reliable and scale just fine. ]

Dave Chinner reported a problem pointing a finger at commit 1c30844d2dfe
("mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation
event occurs").
The report is extensive:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190807091858.2857-1-david@fromorbit.com/
and it's worth recording the most relevant parts (colorful language and
typos included).
When running a simple, steady state 4kB file creation test to
simulate extracting tarballs larger than memory full of small
files into the filesystem, I noticed that once memory fills up
the cache balance goes to hell.
The workload is creating one dirty cached inode for every dirty
page, both of which should require a single IO each to clean and
reclaim, and creation of inodes is throttled by the rate at which
dirty writeback runs at (via balance dirty pages). Hence the ingest
rate of new cached inodes and page cache pages is identical and
steady. As a result, memory reclaim should quickly find a steady
balance between page cache and inode caches.
The moment memory fills, the page cache is reclaimed at a much
faster rate than the inode cache, and evidence suggests that
the inode cache shrinker is not being called when large batches
of pages are being reclaimed. In roughly the same time period
that it takes to fill memory with 50% pages and 50% slab caches,
memory reclaim reduces the page cache down to just dirty pages
and slab caches fill the entirety of memory.
The LRU is largely full of dirty pages, and we're getting spikes
of random writeback from memory reclaim so it's all going to shit.
Behaviour never recovers, the page cache remains pinned at just
dirty pages, and nothing I could tune would make any difference.
vfs_cache_pressure makes no difference - I would set it so high
it should trim the entire inode caches in a single pass, yet it
didn't do anything. It was clear from tracing and live telemetry
that the shrinkers were pretty much not running except when
there was absolutely no memory free at all, and then they did
the minimum necessary to free memory to make progress.
So I went looking at the code, trying to find places where pages
got reclaimed and the shrinkers weren't called. There's only one
- kswapd doing boosted reclaim as per commit 1c30844d2dfe ("mm:
reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation
event occurs").
The watermark boosting introduced by the commit is triggered in response
to an allocation "fragmentation event". The boosting was not intended
to target THP specifically and triggers even if THP is disabled.
However, with Dave's perfectly reasonable workload, fragmentation events
can be very common given the ratio of slab to page cache allocations so
boosting remains active for long periods of time.
As high-order allocations might use compaction and compaction cannot
move slab pages the decision was made in the commit to special-case
kswapd when watermarks are boosted -- kswapd avoids reclaiming slab as
reclaiming slab does not directly help compaction.
As Dave notes, this decision means that slab can be artificially
protected for long periods of time and messes up the balance with slab
and page caches.
Removing the special casing can still indirectly help avoid
fragmentation by avoiding fragmentation-causing events due to slab
allocation as pages from a slab pageblock will have some slab objects
freed. Furthermore, with the special casing, reclaim behaviour is
unpredictable as kswapd sometimes examines slab and sometimes does not
in a manner that is tricky to tune or analyse.
This patch removes the special casing. The downside is that this is not
a universal performance win. Some benchmarks that depend on the
residency of data when rereading metadata may see a regression when slab
reclaim is restored to its original behaviour. Similarly, some
benchmarks that only read-once or write-once may perform better when
page reclaim is too aggressive. The primary upside is that slab
shrinker is less surprising (arguably more sane but that's a matter of
opinion), behaves consistently regardless of the fragmentation state of
the system and properly obeys VM sysctls.
A fsmark benchmark configuration was constructed similar to what Dave
reported and is codified by the mmtest configuration
config-io-fsmark-small-file-stream. It was evaluated on a 1-socket
machine to avoid dealing with NUMA-related issues and the timing of
reclaim. The storage was an SSD Samsung Evo and a fresh trimmed XFS
filesystem was used for the test data.
This is not an exact replication of Dave's setup. The configuration
scales its parameters depending on the memory size of the SUT to behave
similarly across machines. The parameters mean the first sample
reported by fs_mark is using 50% of RAM which will barely be throttled
and look like a big outlier. Dave used fake NUMA to have multiple
kswapd instances which I didn't replicate. Finally, the number of
iterations differ from Dave's test as the target disk was not large
enough. While not identical, it should be representative.

This is showing a slight skew for the max result representing a large
outlier for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd quartile are similar indicating that
the bulk of the results show little difference. Note that an earlier
version of the fsmark configuration showed a regression but that
included more samples taken while memory was still filling.
Note that the elapsed time is higher. Part of this is that the
configuration included time to delete all the test files when the test
completes -- the test automation handles the possibility of testing
fsmark with multiple thread counts. Without the patch, many of these
objects would be memory resident which is part of what the patch is
addressing.
There are other important observations that justify the patch.
1. With the vanilla kernel, the number of dirty pages in the system is
very low for much of the test. With this patch, dirty pages is
generally kept at 10% which matches vm.dirty_background_ratio which
is normal expected historical behaviour.
2. With the vanilla kernel, the ratio of Slab/Pagecache is close to
0.95 for much of the test i.e. Slab is being left alone and
dominating memory consumption. With the patch applied, the ratio
varies between 0.35 and 0.45 with the bulk of the measured ratios
roughly half way between those values. This is a different balance to
what Dave reported but it was at least consistent.
3. Slabs are scanned throughout the entire test with the patch applied.
The vanille kernel has periods with no scan activity and then
relatively massive spikes.
4. Without the patch, kswapd scan rates are very variable. With the
patch, the scan rates remain quite steady.
4. Overall vmstats are closer to normal expectations
5.3.0-rc3 5.3.0-rc3

Ops Kswapd inode steals 570180.00 5183206.00
o Vanilla kernel is hitting direct reclaim more frequently,
not very much in absolute terms but the fact the patch
reduces it is interesting
o "Page reclaim immediate" in the vanilla kernel indicates
dirty pages are being encountered at the tail of the LRU.
This is generally bad and means in this case that the LRU
is not long enough for dirty pages to be cleaned by the
background flush in time. This is much reduced by the
patch.
o With the patch, kswapd is reclaiming 10 times more slab
pages than with the vanilla kernel. This is indicative
of the watermark boosting over-protecting slab
A more complete set of tests were run that were part of the basis for
introducing boosting and while there are some differences, they are well
within tolerances.
Bottom line, the special casing kswapd to avoid slab behaviour is
unpredictable and can lead to abnormal results for normal workloads.
This patch restores the expected behaviour that slab and page cache is
balanced consistently for a workload with a steady allocation ratio of
slab/pagecache pages. It also means that if there are workloads that
favour the preservation of slab over pagecache that it can be tuned via
vm.vfs_cache_pressure where as the vanilla kernel effectively ignores
the parameter when boosting is active.

shrinker
Shakeel Butt reported premature oom on kernel with
"cgroup_disable=memory" since mem_cgroup_is_root() returns false even
though memcg is actually NULL. The drop_caches is also broken.
It is because commit aeed1d325d42 ("mm/vmscan.c: generalize
shrink_slab() calls in shrink_node()") removed the !memcg check before
!mem_cgroup_is_root(). And, surprisingly root memcg is allocated even
though memory cgroup is disabled by kernel boot parameter.
Add mem_cgroup_disabled() check to make reclaimer work as expected.

There are six different reclaim paths by now:
- kswapd reclaim path
- node reclaim path
- hibernate preallocate memory reclaim path
- direct reclaim path
- memcg reclaim path
- memcg softlimit reclaim path
The slab caches reclaimed in these paths are only calculated in the
above three paths.
There're some drawbacks if we don't calculate the reclaimed slab caches.
- The sc->nr_reclaimed isn't correct if there're some slab caches
relcaimed in this path.
- The slab caches may be reclaimed thoroughly if there're lots of
reclaimable slab caches and few page caches.
Let's take an easy example for this case. If one memcg is full of
slab caches and the limit of it is 512M, in other words there're
approximately 512M slab caches in this memcg. Then the limit of the
memcg is reached and the memcg reclaim begins, and then in this memcg
reclaim path it will continuesly reclaim the slab caches until the
sc->priority drops to 0. After this reclaim stops, you will find
there're few slab caches left, which is less than 20M in my test
case. While after this patch applied the number is greater than 300M
and the sc->priority only drops to 3.

Patch series "mm/vmscan: calculate reclaimed slab in all reclaim paths".
This patchset is to fix the issues in doing shrink slab.
There're six different reclaim paths by now,
- kswapd reclaim path
- node reclaim path
- hibernate preallocate memory reclaim path
- direct reclaim path
- memcg reclaim path
- memcg softlimit reclaim path
The slab caches reclaimed in these paths are only calculated in the
above three paths. The issues are detailed explained in patch #2. We
should calculate the reclaimed slab caches in every reclaim path. In
order to do it, the struct reclaim_state is placed into the struct
shrink_control.
In node reclaim path, there'is another issue about shrinking slab, which
is adressed in "mm/vmscan: shrink slab in node reclaim"
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/1559874946-22960-1-git-send-email-laoar.shao@gmail.com/).
This patch (of 2):
The struct reclaim_state is used to record how many slab caches are
reclaimed in one reclaim path. The struct shrink_control is used to
control one reclaim path. So we'd better put reclaim_state into
shrink_control.

Commit bd4c82c22c36 ("mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP after swapped
out"), THP can be swapped out in a whole. But, nr_reclaimed and some
other vm counters still get inc'ed by one even though a whole THP (512
pages) gets swapped out.
This doesn't make too much sense to memory reclaim.
For example, direct reclaim may just need reclaim SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX
pages, reclaiming one THP could fulfill it. But, if nr_reclaimed is not
increased correctly, direct reclaim may just waste time to reclaim more
pages, SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX * 512 pages in worst case.
And, it may cause pgsteal_{kswapd|direct} is greater than
pgscan_{kswapd|direct}, like the below:
pgsteal_kswapd 122933
pgsteal_direct 26600225
pgscan_kswapd 174153
pgscan_direct 14678312
nr_reclaimed and nr_scanned must be fixed in parallel otherwise it would
break some page reclaim logic, e.g.
vmpressure: this looks at the scanned/reclaimed ratio so it won't change
semantics as long as scanned & reclaimed are fixed in parallel.
compaction/reclaim: compaction wants a certain number of physical pages
freed up before going back to compacting.
kswapd priority raising: kswapd raises priority if we scan fewer pages
than the reclaim target (which itself is obviously expressed in order-0
pages). As a result, kswapd can falsely raise its aggressiveness even
when it's making great progress.
Other than nr_scanned and nr_reclaimed, some other counters, e.g.
pgactivate, nr_skipped, nr_ref_keep and nr_unmap_fail need to be fixed too
since they are user visible via cgroup, /proc/vmstat or trace points,
otherwise they would be underreported.
When isolating pages from LRUs, nr_taken has been accounted in base page,
but nr_scanned and nr_skipped are still accounted in THP. It doesn't make
too much sense too since this may cause trace point underreport the
numbers as well.
So accounting those counters in base page instead of accounting THP as one
page.
nr_dirty, nr_unqueued_dirty, nr_congested and nr_writeback are used by
file cache, so they are not impacted by THP swap.
This change may result in lower steal/scan ratio in some cases since THP
may get split during page reclaim, then a part of tail pages get reclaimed
instead of the whole 512 pages, but nr_scanned is accounted by 512,
particularly for direct reclaim. But, this should be not a significant
issue.

Commit 9092c71bb724 ("mm: use sc->priority for slab shrink targets") has
broken up the relationship between sc->nr_scanned and slab pressure.
The sc->nr_scanned can't double slab pressure anymore. So, it sounds no
sense to still keep sc->nr_scanned inc'ed. Actually, it would prevent
from adding pressure on slab shrink since excessive sc->nr_scanned would
prevent from scan->priority raise.
The bonnie test doesn't show this would change the behavior of slab
shrinkers.

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

When file refaults are detected and there are many inactive file pages,
the system never reclaim anonymous pages, the file pages are dropped
aggressively when there are still a lot of cold anonymous pages and
system thrashes. This issue impacts the performance of applications
with large executable, e.g. chrome.
With this patch, when file refault is detected, inactive_list_is_low()
always returns true for file pages in get_scan_count() to enable
scanning anonymous pages.
The problem can be reproduced by the following test program.
