commit 65bb371984d6a2c909244eb749e482bb40b72e36 upstream.
The zlc is used on NUMA machines to quickly skip over zones that are full.
However it is always updated, even for the first zone scanned when the
zlc might not even be active. As it's a write to a bitmap that
potentially bounces cache line it's deceptively expensive and most
machines will not care. Only update the zlc if it was active.Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman

commit 2329d3751b082b4fd354f334a88662d72abac52d upstream.
In mm/swap.c, __lru_cache_add() is exported, but actually there are no
users outside this file.This patch unexports __lru_cache_add(), and makes it static. It also
exports lru_cache_add_file(), as it is use by cifs and fuse, which can
loaded as modules.Signed-off-by: Jianyu Zhan

commit 5bcc9f86ef09a933255ee66bd899d4601785dad5 upstream.
For the MIGRATE_RESERVE pages, it is useful when they do not get
misplaced on free_list of other migratetype, otherwise they might get
allocated prematurely and e.g. fragment the MIGRATE_RESEVE pageblocks.
While this cannot be avoided completely when allocating new
MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks in min_free_kbytes sysctl handler, we should
prevent the misplacement where possible.Currently, it is possible for the misplacement to happen when a
MIGRATE_RESERVE page is allocated on pcplist through rmqueue_bulk() as a
fallback for other desired migratetype, and then later freed back
through free_pcppages_bulk() without being actually used. This happens
because free_pcppages_bulk() uses get_freepage_migratetype() to choose
the free_list, and rmqueue_bulk() calls set_freepage_migratetype() with
the *desired* migratetype and not the page's original MIGRATE_RESERVE
migratetype.This patch fixes the problem by moving the call to
set_freepage_migratetype() from rmqueue_bulk() down to
__rmqueue_smallest() and __rmqueue_fallback() where the actual page's
migratetype (e.g. from which free_list the page is taken from) is used.
Note that this migratetype might be different from the pageblock's
migratetype due to freepage stealing decisions. This is OK, as page
stealing never uses MIGRATE_RESERVE as a fallback, and also takes care
to leave all MIGRATE_CMA pages on the correct freelist.Therefore, as an additional benefit, the call to
get_pageblock_migratetype() from rmqueue_bulk() when CMA is enabled, can
be removed completely. This relies on the fact that MIGRATE_CMA
pageblocks are created only during system init, and the above. The
related is_migrate_isolate() check is also unnecessary, as memory
isolation has other ways to move pages between freelists, and drain pcp
lists containing pages that should be isolated. The buffered_rmqueue()
can also benefit from calling get_freepage_migratetype() instead of
get_pageblock_migratetype().Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka

commit 1a501907bbea8e6ebb0b16cf6db9e9cbf1d2c813 upstream.
Commit "mm: vmscan: obey proportional scanning requirements for kswapd"
ensured that file/anon lists were scanned proportionally for reclaim from
kswapd but ignored it for direct reclaim. The intent was to minimse
direct reclaim latency but Yuanhan Liu pointer out that it substitutes one
long stall for many small stalls and distorts aging for normal workloads
like streaming readers/writers. Hugh Dickins pointed out that a
side-effect of the same commit was that when one LRU list dropped to zero
that the entirety of the other list was shrunk leading to excessive
reclaim in memcgs. This patch scans the file/anon lists proportionally
for direct reclaim to similarly age page whether reclaimed by kswapd or
direct reclaim but takes care to abort reclaim if one LRU drops to zero
after reclaiming the requested number of pages.Based on ext4 and using the Intel VM scalability test

commit d23da150a37c9fe3cc83dbaf71b3e37fd434ed52 upstream.
We remove the call to grab_super_passive in call to super_cache_count.
This becomes a scalability bottleneck as multiple threads are trying to do
memory reclamation, e.g. when we are doing large amount of file read and
page cache is under pressure. The cached objects quickly got reclaimed
down to 0 and we are aborting the cache_scan() reclaim. But counting
creates a log jam acquiring the sb_lock.We are holding the shrinker_rwsem which ensures the safety of call to
list_lru_count_node() and s_op->nr_cached_objects. The shrinker is
unregistered now before ->kill_sb() so the operation is safe when we are
doing unmount.The impact will depend heavily on the machine and the workload but for a
small machine using postmark tuned to use 4xRAM size the results were3.15.0-rc5 3.15.0-rc5

commit 28f2cd4f6da24a1aa06c226618ed5ad69e13df64 upstream.
This series is aimed at regressions noticed during reclaim activity. The
first two patches are shrinker patches that were posted ages ago but never
merged for reasons that are unclear to me. I'm posting them again to see
if there was a reason they were dropped or if they just got lost. Dave?
Time? The last patch adjusts proportional reclaim. Yuanhan Liu, can you
retest the vm scalability test cases on a larger machine? Hugh, does this
work for you on the memcg test cases?Based on ext4, I get the following results but unfortunately my larger
test machines are all unavailable so this is based on a relatively small
machine.postmark

We will like to unregister the sb shrinker before ->kill_sb(). This will
allow cached objects to be counted without call to grab_super_passive() to
update ref count on sb. We want to avoid locking during memory
reclamation especially when we are skipping the memory reclaim when we are
out of cached objects.This is safe because grab_super_passive does a try-lock on the
sb->s_umount now, and so if we are in the unmount process, it won't ever
block. That means what used to be a deadlock and races we were avoiding
by using grab_super_passive() is now:shrinker umount
down_read(shrinker_rwsem)
down_write(sb->s_umount)
shrinker_unregister
down_write(shrinker_rwsem)
grab_super_passive(sb)
down_read_trylock(sb->s_umount)
....
up_read(shrinker_rwsem)
up_write(shrinker_rwsem)
->kill_sb()
....So it is safe to deregister the shrinker before ->kill_sb().

Could a dirty xfs or ext4 file page somehow get marked PageSwapBacked,
so fail shrink_page_list()'s page_is_file_cache() test, and so proceed
to mapping->a_ops->writepage()?Yes, 3.16-rc1's commit 68711a746345 ("mm, migration: add destination
page freeing callback") has provided such a way to compaction: if
migrating a SwapBacked page fails, its newpage may be put back on the
list for later use with PageSwapBacked still set, and nothing will clear
it.Whether that can do anything worse than issue WARN_ON_ONCEs, and get
some statistics wrong, is unclear: easier to fix than to think through
the consequences.Fixing it here, before the put_new_page(), addresses the bug directly,
but is probably the worst place to fix it. Page migration is doing too
many parts of the job on too many levels: fixing it in
move_to_new_page() to complement its SetPageSwapBacked would be
preferable, except why is it (and newpage->mapping and newpage->index)
done there, rather than down in migrate_page_move_mapping(), once we are
sure of success? Not a cleanup to get into right now, especially not
with memcg cleanups coming in 3.17.Reported-by: Dave Jones

commit b13b1d2d8692b437203de7a404c6b809d2cc4d99 upstream.
We use the accessed bit to age a page at page reclaim time,
and currently we also flush the TLB when doing so.But in some workloads TLB flush overhead is very heavy. In my
simple multithreaded app with a lot of swap to several pcie
SSDs, removing the tlb flush gives about 20% ~ 30% swapout
speedup.Fortunately just removing the TLB flush is a valid optimization:
on x86 CPUs, clearing the accessed bit without a TLB flush
doesn't cause data corruption.It could cause incorrect page aging and the (mistaken) reclaim of
hot pages, but the chance of that should be relatively low.So as a performance optimization don't flush the TLB when
clearing the accessed bit, it will eventually be flushed by
a context switch or a VM operation anyway. [ In the rare
event of it not getting flushed for a long time the delay
shouldn't really matter because there's no real memory
pressure for swapout to react to. ]Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds

commit be9765722e6b7ece8263cbab857490332339bd6f upstream.
Compaction uses compact_checklock_irqsave() function to periodically check
for lock contention and need_resched() to either abort async compaction,
or to free the lock, schedule and retake the lock. When aborting,
cc->contended is set to signal the contended state to the caller. Two
problems have been identified in this mechanism.First, compaction also calls directly cond_resched() in both scanners when
no lock is yet taken. This call either does not abort async compaction,
or set cc->contended appropriately. This patch introduces a new
compact_should_abort() function to achieve both. In isolate_freepages(),
the check frequency is reduced to once by SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pageblocks to
match what the migration scanner does in the preliminary page checks. In
case a pageblock is found suitable for calling isolate_freepages_block(),
the checks within there are done on higher frequency.Second, isolate_freepages() does not check if isolate_freepages_block()
aborted due to contention, and advances to the next pageblock. This
violates the principle of aborting on contention, and might result in
pageblocks not being scanned completely, since the scanning cursor is
advanced. This problem has been noticed in the code by Joonsoo Kim when
reviewing related patches. This patch makes isolate_freepages_block()
check the cc->contended flag and abort.In case isolate_freepages() has already isolated some pages before
aborting due to contention, page migration will proceed, which is OK since
we do not want to waste the work that has been done, and page migration
has own checks for contention. However, we do not want another isolation
attempt by either of the scanners, so cc->contended flag check is added
also to compaction_alloc() and compact_finished() to make sure compaction
is aborted right after the migration.The outcome of the patch should be reduced lock contention by async
compaction and lower latencies for higher-order allocations where direct
compaction is involved.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix typo in comment]

commit e9ade569910a82614ff5f2c2cea2b65a8d785da4 upstream.
The compaction free scanner in isolate_freepages() currently remembers PFN
of the highest pageblock where it successfully isolates, to be used as the
starting pageblock for the next invocation. The rationale behind this is
that page migration might return free pages to the allocator when
migration fails and we don't want to skip them if the compaction
continues.Since migration now returns free pages back to compaction code where they
can be reused, this is no longer a concern. This patch changes
isolate_freepages() so that the PFN for restarting is updated with each
pageblock where isolation is attempted. Using stress-highalloc from
mmtests, this resulted in 10% reduction of the pages scanned by the free
scanner.Note that the somewhat similar functionality that records highest
successful pageblock in zone->compact_cached_free_pfn, remains unchanged.
This cache is used when the whole compaction is restarted, not for
multiple invocations of the free scanner during single compaction.Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka

commit f8c9301fa5a2a8b873c67f2a3d8230d5c13f61b7 upstream.
During compaction, update_nr_listpages() has been used to count remaining
non-migrated and free pages after a call to migrage_pages(). The
freepages counting has become unneccessary, and it turns out that
migratepages counting is also unnecessary in most cases.The only situation when it's needed to count cc->migratepages is when
migrate_pages() returns with a negative error code. Otherwise, the
non-negative return value is the number of pages that were not migrated,
which is exactly the count of remaining pages in the cc->migratepages
list.Furthermore, any non-zero count is only interesting for the tracepoint of
mm_compaction_migratepages events, because after that all remaining
unmigrated pages are put back and their count is set to 0.This patch therefore removes update_nr_listpages() completely, and changes
the tracepoint definition so that the manual counting is done only when
the tracepoint is enabled, and only when migrate_pages() returns a
negative error code.Furthermore, migrate_pages() and the tracepoints won't be called when
there's nothing to migrate. This potentially avoids some wasted cycles
and reduces the volume of uninteresting mm_compaction_migratepages events
where "nr_migrated=0 nr_failed=0". In the stress-highalloc mmtest, this
was about 75% of the events. The mm_compaction_isolate_migratepages event
is better for determining that nothing was isolated for migration, and
this one was just duplicating the info.Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka

Async compaction terminates prematurely when need_resched(), see
compact_checklock_irqsave(). This can never trigger, however, if the
cond_resched() in isolate_migratepages_range() always takes care of the
scheduling.If the cond_resched() actually triggers, then terminate this pageblock
scan for async compaction as well.Signed-off-by: David Rientjes

We're going to want to manipulate the migration mode for compaction in the
page allocator, and currently compact_control's sync field is only a bool.Currently, we only do MIGRATE_ASYNC or MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT compaction
depending on the value of this bool. Convert the bool to enum
migrate_mode and pass the migration mode in directly. Later, we'll want
to avoid MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT for thp allocations in the pagefault patch to
avoid unnecessary latency.This also alters compaction triggered from sysfs, either for the entire
system or for a node, to force MIGRATE_SYNC.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build]

commit 35979ef3393110ff3c12c6b94552208d3bdf1a36 upstream.
Each zone has a cached migration scanner pfn for memory compaction so that
subsequent calls to memory compaction can start where the previous call
left off.Currently, the compaction migration scanner only updates the per-zone
cached pfn when pageblocks were not skipped for async compaction. This
creates a dependency on calling sync compaction to avoid having subsequent
calls to async compaction from scanning an enormous amount of non-MOVABLE
pageblocks each time it is called. On large machines, this could be
potentially very expensive.This patch adds a per-zone cached migration scanner pfn only for async
compaction. It is updated everytime a pageblock has been scanned in its
entirety and when no pages from it were successfully isolated. The cached
migration scanner pfn for sync compaction is updated only when called for
sync compaction.Signed-off-by: David Rientjes

commit d53aea3d46d64e95da9952887969f7533b9ab25e upstream.
Greg reported that he found isolated free pages were returned back to the
VM rather than the compaction freelist. This will cause holes behind the
free scanner and cause it to reallocate additional memory if necessary
later.He detected the problem at runtime seeing that ext4 metadata pages (esp
the ones read by "sbi->s_group_desc[i] = sb_bread(sb, block)") were
constantly visited by compaction calls of migrate_pages(). These pages
had a non-zero b_count which caused fallback_migrate_page() ->
try_to_release_page() -> try_to_free_buffers() to fail.Memory compaction works by having a "freeing scanner" scan from one end of
a zone which isolates pages as migration targets while another "migrating
scanner" scans from the other end of the same zone which isolates pages
for migration.When page migration fails for an isolated page, the target page is
returned to the system rather than the freelist built by the freeing
scanner. This may require the freeing scanner to continue scanning memory
after suitable migration targets have already been returned to the system
needlessly.This patch returns destination pages to the freeing scanner freelist when
page migration fails. This prevents unnecessary work done by the freeing
scanner but also encourages memory to be as compacted as possible at the
end of the zone.Signed-off-by: David Rientjes

commit 68711a746345c44ae00c64d8dbac6a9ce13ac54a upstream.
Memory migration uses a callback defined by the caller to determine how to
allocate destination pages. When migration fails for a source page,
however, it frees the destination page back to the system.This patch adds a memory migration callback defined by the caller to
determine how to free destination pages. If a caller, such as memory
compaction, builds its own freelist for migration targets, this can reuse
already freed memory instead of scanning additional memory.If the caller provides a function to handle freeing of destination pages,
it is called when page migration fails. If the caller passes NULL then
freeing back to the system will be handled as usual. This patch
introduces no functional change.Signed-off-by: David Rientjes

commit 67f9fd91f93c582b7de2ab9325b6e179db77e4d5 upstream.
This patch removes read_cache_page_async() which wasn't really needed
anywhere and simplifies the code around it a bit.read_cache_page_async() is useful when we want to read a page into the
cache without waiting for it to complete. This happens when the
appropriate callback 'filler' doesn't complete its read operation and
releases the page lock immediately, and instead queues a different
completion routine to do that. This never actually happened anywhere in
the code.read_cache_page_async() had 3 different callers:
- read_cache_page() which is the sync version, it would just wait for
the requested read to complete using wait_on_page_read().- JFFS2 would call it from jffs2_gc_fetch_page(), but the filler
function it supplied doesn't do any async reads, and would complete
before the filler function returns - making it actually a sync read.- CRAMFS would call it using the read_mapping_page_async() wrapper, with
a similar story to JFFS2 - the filler function doesn't do anything that
reminds async reads and would always complete before the filler function
returns.To sum it up, the code in mm/filemap.c never took advantage of having
read_cache_page_async(). While there are filler callbacks that do async
reads (such as the block one), we always called it with the
read_cache_page().This patch adds a mandatory wait for read to complete when adding a new
page to the cache, and removes read_cache_page_async() and its wrappers.Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

The radix tree hole searching code is only used for page cache, for
example the readahead code trying to get a a picture of the area
surrounding a fault.It sufficed to rely on the radix tree definition of holes, which is
"empty tree slot". But this is about to change, though, as shadow page
descriptors will be stored in the page cache after the actual pages get
evicted from memory.Move the functions over to mm/filemap.c and make them native page cache
operations, where they can later be adapted to handle the new definition
of "page cache hole".Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner

Page cache radix tree slots are usually stabilized by the page lock, but
shmem's swap cookies have no such thing. Because the overall truncation
loop is lockless, the swap entry is currently confirmed by a tree lookup
and then deleted by another tree lookup under the same tree lock region.Use radix_tree_delete_item() instead, which does the verification and
deletion with only one lookup. This also allows removing the

commit 50f5aa8a9b248fa4262cf379863ec9a531b49737 upstream.
BUG_ON() is a big hammer, and should be used _only_ if there is some
major corruption that you cannot possibly recover from, making it
imperative that the current process (and possibly the whole machine) be
terminated with extreme prejudice.The trivial sanity check in the vmacache code is *not* such a fatal
error. Recovering from it is absolutely trivial, and using BUG_ON()
just makes it harder to debug for no actual advantage.To make matters worse, the placement of the BUG_ON() (only if the range
check matched) actually makes it harder to hit the sanity check to begin
with, so _if_ there is a bug (and we just got a report from Srivatsa
Bhat that this can indeed trigger), it is harder to debug not just
because the machine is possibly dead, but because we don't have better
coverage.BUG_ON() must *die*. Maybe we should add a checkpatch warning for it,
because it is simply just about the worst thing you can ever do if you
hit some "this cannot happen" situation.Reported-by: Srivatsa S. Bhat

commit 615d6e8756c87149f2d4c1b93d471bca002bd849 upstream.
This patch is a continuation of efforts trying to optimize find_vma(),
avoiding potentially expensive rbtree walks to locate a vma upon faults.
The original approach (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/1/410), where the
largest vma was also cached, ended up being too specific and random,
thus further comparison with other approaches were needed. There are
two things to consider when dealing with this, the cache hit rate and
the latency of find_vma(). Improving the hit-rate does not necessarily
translate in finding the vma any faster, as the overhead of any fancy
caching schemes can be too high to consider.We currently cache the last used vma for the whole address space, which
provides a nice optimization, reducing the total cycles in find_vma() by
up to 250%, for workloads with good locality. On the other hand, this
simple scheme is pretty much useless for workloads with poor locality.
Analyzing ebizzy runs shows that, no matter how many threads are
running, the mmap_cache hit rate is less than 2%, and in many situations
below 1%.The proposed approach is to replace this scheme with a small per-thread
cache, maximizing hit rates at a very low maintenance cost.
Invalidations are performed by simply bumping up a 32-bit sequence
number. The only expensive operation is in the rare case of a seq
number overflow, where all caches that share the same address space are
flushed. Upon a miss, the proposed replacement policy is based on the
page number that contains the virtual address in question. Concretely,
the following results are seen on an 80 core, 8 socket x86-64 box:1) System bootup: Most programs are single threaded, so the per-thread
scheme does improve ~50% hit rate by just adding a few more slots to
the cache.+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 50.61% | 19.90 |
| patched | 73.45% | 13.58 |
+----------------+----------+------------------+2) Kernel build: This one is already pretty good with the current
approach as we're dealing with good locality.+----------------+----------+------------------+

approach always shows nearly perfect hit rates, while baseline is just
about non-existent. The amounts of cycles can fluctuate between
anywhere from ~60 to ~116 for the baseline scheme, but this approach
reduces it considerably. For instance, with 80 threads:+----------------+----------+------------------+

that this pageblock range is fine to be migragted. It isn't needed to

do well when suitable.1) It re-checks isolation_suitable() on each page of a pageblock that was
already estabilished as suitable.
2) It re-checks migrate_async_suitable() on each page of a pageblock that
was not entered through the next_pageblock: label, because
last_pageblock_nr is not otherwise updated.This patch fixes situation by 1) calling isolation_suitable() only once
per pageblock and 2) always updating last_pageblock_nr to the pageblock
that was just checked.Additionally, move PageBuddy() check after pageblock unit check, since
pageblock check is the first thing we should do and makes things more

commit be1aa03b973c7dcdc576f3503f7a60429825c35d upstream.
It is odd to drop the spinlock when we scan (SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX - 1) th
pfn page. This may results in below situation while isolating
migratepage.1. try isolate 0x0 ~ 0x200 pfn pages.
2. When low_pfn is 0x1ff, ((low_pfn+1) % SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX) == 0, so drop
the spinlock.
3. Then, to complete isolating, retry to aquire the lock.I think that it is better to use SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX th pfn for checking the
criteria about dropping the lock. This has no harm 0x0 pfn, because, at
this time, locked variable would be false.Signed-off-by: Joonsoo Kim

commit 01ead5340bcf5f3a1cd2452c75516d0ef4d908d7 upstream.
suitable_migration_target() checks that pageblock is suitable for
migration target. In isolate_freepages_block(), it is called on every
page and this is inefficient. So make it called once per pageblock.suitable_migration_target() also checks if page is highorder or not, but
it's criteria for highorder is pageblock order. So calling it once
within pageblock range has no problem.Signed-off-by: Joonsoo Kim
