The memory controllers stat function names are awkwardly long and
arbitrarily different from the zone and node stat functions.The current interface is named:
mem_cgroup_read_stat()
mem_cgroup_update_stat()
mem_cgroup_inc_stat()
mem_cgroup_dec_stat()
mem_cgroup_update_page_stat()
mem_cgroup_inc_page_stat()
mem_cgroup_dec_page_stat()This patch renames it to match the corresponding node stat functions:
memcg_page_state() [node_page_state()]
mod_memcg_state() [mod_node_state()]
inc_memcg_state() [inc_node_state()]
dec_memcg_state() [dec_node_state()]

The current duplication is a high-maintenance mess, and it's painful to
add new items or query memcg state from the rest of the VM.This increases the size of the stat array marginally, but we should aim
to track all these stats on a per-cgroup level anyway.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170404220148.28338-3-hannes@cmpxchg.org

In 2002, [1] introduced SWAP_AGAIN. At that time, try_to_unmap_one used
spin_trylock(&mm->page_table_lock) so it's really easy to contend and
fail to hold a lock so SWAP_AGAIN to keep LRU status makes sense.However, now we changed it to mutex-based lock and be able to block
without skip pte so there is few of small window to return SWAP_AGAIN so
remove SWAP_AGAIN and just return SWAP_FAIL.[1] c48c43e, minimal rmap

try_to_munlock returns SWAP_MLOCK if the one of VMAs mapped the page has
VM_LOCKED flag. In that time, VM set PG_mlocked to the page if the page
is not pte-mapped THP which cannot be mlocked, either.With that, __munlock_isolated_page can use PageMlocked to check whether
try_to_munlock is successful or not without relying on try_to_munlock's

When memory pressure is high, we free MADV_FREE pages. If the pages are
not dirty in pte, the pages could be freed immediately. Otherwise we
can't reclaim them. We put the pages back to anonumous LRU list (by
setting SwapBacked flag) and the pages will be reclaimed in normal
swapout way.We use normal page reclaim policy. Since MADV_FREE pages are put into
inactive file list, such pages and inactive file pages are reclaimed
according to their age. This is expected, because we don't want to
reclaim too many MADV_FREE pages before used once pages.Based on Minchan's original patch

Patch series "mm: fix some MADV_FREE issues", v5.
We are trying to use MADV_FREE in jemalloc. Several issues are found.
Without solving the issues, jemalloc can't use the MADV_FREE feature.- Doesn't support system without swap enabled. Because if swap is off,
we can't or can't efficiently age anonymous pages. And since
MADV_FREE pages are mixed with other anonymous pages, we can't
reclaim MADV_FREE pages. In current implementation, MADV_FREE will
fallback to MADV_DONTNEED without swap enabled. But in our
environment, a lot of machines don't enable swap. This will prevent
our setup using MADV_FREE.- Increases memory pressure. page reclaim bias file pages reclaim
against anonymous pages. This doesn't make sense for MADV_FREE pages,
because those pages could be freed easily and refilled with very
slight penality. Even page reclaim doesn't bias file pages, there is
still an issue, because MADV_FREE pages and other anonymous pages are
mixed together. To reclaim a MADV_FREE page, we probably must scan a
lot of other anonymous pages, which is inefficient. In our test, we
usually see oom with MADV_FREE enabled and nothing without it.- Accounting. There are two accounting problems. We don't have a global
accounting. If the system is abnormal, we don't know if it's a
problem from MADV_FREE side. The other problem is RSS accounting.
MADV_FREE pages are accounted as normal anon pages and reclaimed
lazily, so application's RSS becomes bigger. This confuses our
workloads. We have monitoring daemon running and if it finds
applications' RSS becomes abnormal, the daemon will kill the
applications even kernel can reclaim the memory easily.To address the first the two issues, we can either put MADV_FREE pages
into a separate LRU list (Minchan's previous patches and V1 patches), or
put them into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list (suggested by Johannes). The
patchset use the second idea. The reason is LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list is
tiny nowadays and should be full of used once file pages. So we can
still efficiently reclaim MADV_FREE pages there without interference
with other anon and active file pages. Putting the pages into inactive
file list also has an advantage which allows page reclaim to prioritize
MADV_FREE pages and used once file pages. MADV_FREE pages are put into
the lru list and clear SwapBacked flag, so PageAnon(page) &&
!PageSwapBacked(page) will indicate a MADV_FREE pages. These pages will
directly freed without pageout if they are clean, otherwise normal swap
will reclaim them.For the third issue, the previous post adds global accounting and a
separate RSS count for MADV_FREE pages. The problem is we never get
accurate accounting for MADV_FREE pages. The pages are mapped to
userspace, can be dirtied without notice from kernel side. To get
accurate accounting, we could write protect the page, but then there is
extra page fault overhead, which people don't want to pay. Jemalloc
guys have concerns about the inaccurate accounting, so this post drops
the accounting patches temporarily. The info exported to
/proc/pid/smaps for MADV_FREE pages are kept, which is the only place we
can get accurate accounting right now.This patch (of 6):
Johannes pointed out TTU_LZFREE is unnecessary. It's true because we
always have the flag set if we want to do an unmap. For cases we don't
do an unmap, the TTU_LZFREE part of code should never run.Also the TTU_UNMAP is unnecessary. If no other flags set (for example,
TTU_MIGRATION), an unmap is implied.The patch includes Johannes's cleanup and dead TTU_ACTION macro removal

A group of Linux kernel hackers reported chasing a bug that resulted
from their assumption that SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU provided an existence
guarantee, that is, that no block from such a slab would be reallocated
during an RCU read-side critical section. Of course, that is not the
case. Instead, SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU only prevents freeing of an entire
slab of blocks.However, there is a phrase for this, namely "type safety". This commit
therefore renames SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU in order
to avoid future instances of this sort of confusion.Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

paging.Enabling of new abstraction in most cases requires adding single line
of code in arch-specific code. The rest is taken care by asm-generic/.Changes to mm/ code are mostly mechanical: add support for new page

For PTE-mapped THP page_check_address_transhuge() is not adequate: it
cannot find all relevant PTEs, only the first one. It means we can miss
some references of the page and it can result in suboptimal decisions by
vmscan.Let's switch it to page_vma_mapped_walk().
I don't think it's subject for stable@: it's not fatal. The only side
effect is that THP can be swapped out when it shouldn't.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170129173858.45174-4-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com

anon_vma_prepare() is mostly a large "if (unlikely(...))" block, as the
expected common case is that an anon_vma already exists. We could turn
the condition around and return 0, but it also makes sense to do it
inline and avoid a call for the common case.Bloat-o-meter naturally shows that inlining the check has some code size

In page_remove_file_rmap(.) we have the following check:
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(compound && !PageTransHuge(page), page);
This is meant to check for either HugeTLB pages or THP when a compound
page is passed in.Unfortunately, if one disables CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, then
PageTransHuge(.) will always return false, provoking BUGs when one runs
the libhugetlbfs test suite.This patch replaces PageTransHuge(), with PageHead() which will work for
both HugeTLB and THP.Fixes: dd78fedde4b9 ("rmap: support file thp")

PageTransCompound() doesn't distinguish THP from from any other type of
compound pages. This can lead to false-positive VM_BUG_ON() in
page_add_file_rmap() if called on compound page from a driver[1].I think we can exclude such cases by checking if the page belong to a
mapping.The VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() is downgraded to VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(). This path
should not cause any harm to non-THP page, but good to know if we step
on anything else.[1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/c711e067-0bff-a6cb-3c37-04dfe77d2db1@redhat.com

There are now a number of accounting oddities such as mapped file pages
being accounted for on the node while the total number of file pages are
accounted on the zone. This can be coped with to some extent but it's
confusing so this patch moves the relevant file-based accounted. Due to
throttling logic in the page allocator for reliable OOM detection, it is
still necessary to track dirty and writeback pages on a per-zone basis.[mgorman@techsingularity.net: fix NR_ZONE_WRITE_PENDING accounting]

NR_FILE_PAGES is the number of file pages.
NR_FILE_MAPPED is the number of mapped file pages.
NR_ANON_PAGES is the number of mapped anon pages.This is unhelpful naming as it's easy to confuse NR_FILE_MAPPED and
NR_ANON_PAGES for mapped pages. This patch renames NR_ANON_PAGES so we
haveNR_FILE_PAGES is the number of file pages.
NR_FILE_MAPPED is the number of mapped file pages.
NR_ANON_MAPPED is the number of mapped anon pages.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1467970510-21195-19-git-send-email-mgorman@techsingularity.net

it's mixing node and zone information. Account NR_FILE_MAPPED and

Node-based reclaim requires node-based LRUs and locking. This is a
preparation patch that just moves the lru_lock to the node so later
patches are easier to review. It is a mechanical change but note this
patch makes contention worse because the LRU lock is hotter and direct
reclaim and kswapd can contend on the same lock even when reclaiming
from different zones.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1467970510-21195-3-git-send-email-mgorman@techsingularity.net

Let's add ShmemHugePages and ShmemPmdMapped fields into meminfo and
smaps. It indicates how many times we allocate and map shmem THP.NR_ANON_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGES is renamed to NR_ANON_THPS.

As with anon THP, we only mlock file huge pages if we can prove that the
page is not mapped with PTE. This way we can avoid mlock leak into
non-mlocked vma on split.We rely on PageDoubleMap() under lock_page() to check if the the page
may be PTE mapped. PG_double_map is set by page_add_file_rmap() when
the page mapped with PTEs.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1466021202-61880-21-git-send-email-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com
