2019-04-19mm: fix inactive list balancing between NUMA nodes and cgroupsJohannes Weiner
During !CONFIG_CGROUP reclaim, we expand the inactive list size if it's thrashing on the node that is about to be reclaimed. But when cgroups are enabled, we suddenly ignore the node scope and use the cgroup scope only. The result is that pressure bleeds between NUMA nodes depending on whether cgroups are merely compiled into Linux. This behavioral difference is unexpected and undesirable. When the refault adaptivity of the inactive list was first introduced, there were no statistics at the lruvec level - the intersection of node and memcg - so it was better than nothing. But now that we have that infrastructure, use lruvec_page_state() to make the list balancing decision always NUMA aware.

We have common pattern to access lru_lock from a page pointer: zone_lru_lock(page_zone(page)) Which is silly, because it unfolds to this: &NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->node_zones[page_zonenum(page)]->zone_pgdat->lru_lock while we can simply do &NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->lru_lock Remove zone_lru_lock() function, since it's only complicate things.

2019-03-05mm: vmscan: do not iterate all mem cgroups for global direct reclaimYang Shi
In current implementation, both kswapd and direct reclaim has to iterate all mem cgroups. It is not a problem before offline mem cgroups could be iterated. But, currently with iterating offline mem cgroups, it could be very time consuming. In our workloads, we saw over 400K mem cgroups accumulated in some cases, only a few hundred are online memcgs. Although kswapd could help out to reduce the number of memcgs, direct reclaim still get hit with iterating a number of offline memcgs in some cases. We experienced the responsiveness problems due to this occassionally. A simple test with pref shows it may take around 220ms to iterate 8K memcgs in direct reclaim: dd 13873 [011] 578.542919: vmscan:mm_vmscan_direct_reclaim_begin dd 13873 [011] 578.758689: vmscan:mm_vmscan_direct_reclaim_end So for 400K, it may take around 11 seconds to iterate all memcgs. Here just break the iteration once it reclaims enough pages as what memcg direct reclaim does. This may hurt the fairness among memcgs. But the cached iterator cookie could help to achieve the fairness more or less.

2019-02-12Revert "mm: slowly shrink slabs with a relatively small number of objects"Dave Chinner
This reverts commit 172b06c32b9497 ("mm: slowly shrink slabs with a relatively small number of objects"). This change changes the agressiveness of shrinker reclaim, causing small cache and low priority reclaim to greatly increase scanning pressure on small caches. As a result, light memory pressure has a disproportionate affect on small caches, and causes large caches to be reclaimed much faster than previously. As a result, it greatly perturbs the delicate balance of the VFS caches (dentry/inode vs file page cache) such that the inode/dentry caches are reclaimed much, much faster than the page cache and this drives us into several other caching imbalance related problems. As such, this is a bad change and needs to be reverted. [ Needs some massaging to retain the later seekless shrinker modifications.] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190130041707.27750-3-david@fromorbit.com Fixes: 172b06c32b9497 ("mm: slowly shrink slabs with a relatively small number of objects") Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Cc: Wolfgang Walter <linux@stwm.de> Cc: Roman Gushchin <guro@fb.com> Cc: Spock <dairinin@gmail.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@surriel.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2018-12-28mm: put_and_wait_on_page_locked() while page is migratedHugh Dickins
Waiting on a page migration entry has used wait_on_page_locked() all along since 2006: but you cannot safely wait_on_page_locked() without holding a reference to the page, and that extra reference is enough to make migrate_page_move_mapping() fail with -EAGAIN, when a racing task faults on the entry before migrate_page_move_mapping() gets there. And that failure is retried nine times, amplifying the pain when trying to migrate a popular page. With a single persistent faulter, migration sometimes succeeds; with two or three concurrent faulters, success becomes much less likely (and the more the page was mapped, the worse the overhead of unmapping and remapping it on each try). This is especially a problem for memory offlining, where the outer level retries forever (or until terminated from userspace), because a heavy refault workload can trigger an endless loop of migration failures. wait_on_page_locked() is the wrong tool for the job. David Herrmann (but was he the first?) noticed this issue in 2014: https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=140110465608116&w=2 Tim Chen started a thread in August 2017 which appears relevant: https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=150275941014915&w=2 where Kan Liang went on to implicate __migration_entry_wait(): https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=150300268411980&w=2 and the thread ended up with the v4.14 commits: 2554db916586 ("sched/wait: Break up long wake list walk") 11a19c7b099f ("sched/wait: Introduce wakeup boomark in wake_up_page_bit") Baoquan He reported "Memory hotplug softlock issue" 14 November 2018: https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=154217936431300&w=2 We have all assumed that it is essential to hold a page reference while waiting on a page lock: partly to guarantee that there is still a struct page when MEMORY_HOTREMOVE is configured, but also to protect against reuse of the struct page going to someone who then holds the page locked indefinitely, when the waiter can reasonably expect timely unlocking. But in fact, so long as wait_on_page_bit_common() does the put_page(), and is careful not to rely on struct page contents thereafter, there is no need to hold a reference to the page while waiting on it. That does mean that this case cannot go back through the loop: but that's fine for the page migration case, and even if used more widely, is limited by the "Stop walking if it's locked" optimization in wake_page_function(). Add interface put_and_wait_on_page_locked() to do this, using "behavior" enum in place of "lock" arg to wait_on_page_bit_common() to implement it. No interruptible or killable variant needed yet, but they might follow: I have a vague notion that reporting -EINTR should take precedence over return from wait_on_page_bit_common() without knowing the page state, so arrange it accordingly - but that may be nothing but pedantic. __migration_entry_wait() still has to take a brief reference to the page, prior to calling put_and_wait_on_page_locked(): but now that it is dropped before waiting, the chance of impeding page migration is very much reduced. Should we perhaps disable preemption across this? shrink_page_list()'s __ClearPageLocked(): that was a surprise! This survived a lot of testing before that showed up. PageWaiters may have been set by wait_on_page_bit_common(), and the reference dropped, just before shrink_page_list() succeeds in freezing its last page reference: in such a case, unlock_page() must be used. Follow the suggestion from Michal Hocko, just revert a978d6f52106 ("mm: unlockless reclaim") now: that optimization predates PageWaiters, and won't buy much these days; but we can reinstate it for the !PageWaiters case if anyone notices. It does raise the question: should vmscan.c's is_page_cache_freeable() and __remove_mapping() now treat a PageWaiters page as if an extra reference were held? Perhaps, but I don't think it matters much, since shrink_page_list() already had to win its trylock_page(), so waiters are not very common there: I noticed no difference when trying the bigger change, and it's surely not needed while put_and_wait_on_page_locked() is only used for page migration.

2018-12-28mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occursMel Gorman
An external fragmentation event was previously described as When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered an event that will cause external fragmentation issues in the future. The kernel reduces the probability of such events by increasing the watermark sizes by calling set_recommended_min_free_kbytes early in the lifetime of the system. This works reasonably well in general but if there are enough sparsely populated pageblocks then the problem can still occur as enough memory is free overall and kswapd stays asleep. This patch introduces a watermark_boost_factor sysctl that allows a zone watermark to be temporarily boosted when an external fragmentation causing events occurs. The boosting will stall allocations that would decrease free memory below the boosted low watermark and kswapd is woken if the calling context allows to reclaim an amount of memory relative to the size of the high watermark and the watermark_boost_factor until the boost is cleared. When kswapd finishes, it wakes kcompactd at the pageblock order to clean some of the pageblocks that may have been affected by the fragmentation event. kswapd avoids any writeback, slab shrinkage and swap from reclaim context during this operation to avoid excessive system disruption in the name of fragmentation avoidance. Care is taken so that kswapd will do normal reclaim work if the system is really low on memory. This was evaluated using the same workloads as "mm, page_alloc: Spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation". 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) 4.20-rc3+patch1-4: 18421 (98% reduction) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 lowzone-v5r8 boost-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 653.58 ( 0.00%) 652.71 ( 0.13%) Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 178.93 * -99.00%* 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 lowzone-v5r8 boost-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 5.12 ( 100.00%) Note that external fragmentation causing events are massively reduced by this path whether in comparison to the previous kernel or the vanilla kernel.

In some extreme case, all pages in the inactive anon lru are pinned, and only the inactive anon lru is scanned due to inactive_ratio, the system cannot swap and invokes the oom-killer.

2018-10-26mm: zero-seek shrinkersJohannes Weiner
The page cache and most shrinkable slab caches hold data that has been read from disk, but there are some caches that only cache CPU work, such as the dentry and inode caches of procfs and sysfs, as well as the subset of radix tree nodes that track non-resident page cache. Currently, all these are shrunk at the same rate: using DEFAULT_SEEKS for the shrinker's seeks setting tells the reclaim algorithm that for every two page cache pages scanned it should scan one slab object. This is a bogus setting. A virtual inode that required no IO to create is not twice as valuable as a page cache page; shadow cache entries with eviction distances beyond the size of memory aren't either. In most cases, the behavior in practice is still fine. Such virtual caches don't tend to grow and assert themselves aggressively, and usually get picked up before they cause problems. But there are scenarios where that's not true. Our database workloads suffer from two of those. For one, their file workingset is several times bigger than available memory, which has the kernel aggressively create shadow page cache entries for the non-resident parts of it. The workingset code does tell the VM that most of these are expendable, but the VM ends up balancing them 2:1 to cache pages as per the seeks setting. This is a huge waste of memory. These workloads also deal with tens of thousands of open files and use /proc for introspection, which ends up growing the proc_inode_cache to absurdly large sizes - again at the cost of valuable cache space, which isn't a reasonable trade-off, given that proc inodes can be re-created without involving the disk. This patch implements a "zero-seek" setting for shrinkers that results in a target ratio of 0:1 between their objects and IO-backed caches. This allows such virtual caches to grow when memory is available (they do cache/avoid CPU work after all), but effectively disables them as soon as IO-backed objects are under pressure. It then switches the shrinkers for procfs and sysfs metadata, as well as excess page cache shadow nodes, to the new zero-seek setting.

2018-10-26psi: pressure stall information for CPU, memory, and IOJohannes Weiner
When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close the system is to lockups and OOM kills. In particular, when machines work multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency and throughput on the individual job can be enormous. In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way to quantify resource pressure in the system. A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO, respectively. Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay accounting delays: cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache io: tasks are waiting for io completions These percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages, and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss incurred by resource overcommit. They can also indicate when the system is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs. To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU and samples the time they spend in stall states. Every 2 seconds, the samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of walltime. A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s, 1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).

2018-10-26mm: workingset: tell cache transitions from workingset thrashingJohannes Weiner
Refaults happen during transitions between workingsets as well as in-place thrashing. Knowing the difference between the two has a range of applications, including measuring the impact of memory shortage on the system performance, as well as the ability to smarter balance pressure between the filesystem cache and the swap-backed workingset. During workingset transitions, inactive cache refaults and pushes out established active cache. When that active cache isn't stale, however, and also ends up refaulting, that's bonafide thrashing. Introduce a new page flag that tells on eviction whether the page has been active or not in its lifetime. This bit is then stored in the shadow entry, to classify refaults as transitioning or thrashing. How many page->flags does this leave us with on 32-bit? 20 bits are always page flags 21 if you have an MMU 23 with the zone bits for DMA, Normal, HighMem, Movable 29 with the sparsemem section bits 30 if PAE is enabled 31 with this patch. So on 32-bit PAE, that leaves 1 bit for distinguishing two NUMA nodes. If that's not enough, the system can switch to discontigmem and re-gain the 6 or 7 sparsemem section bits.

2018-10-26mm: don't miss the last page because of round-off errorRoman Gushchin
I've noticed, that dying memory cgroups are often pinned in memory by a single pagecache page. Even under moderate memory pressure they sometimes stayed in such state for a long time. That looked strange. My investigation showed that the problem is caused by applying the LRU pressure balancing math: scan = div64_u64(scan * fraction[lru], denominator), where denominator = fraction[anon] + fraction[file] + 1. Because fraction[lru] is always less than denominator, if the initial scan size is 1, the result is always 0. This means the last page is not scanned and has no chances to be reclaimed. Fix this by rounding up the result of the division. In practice this change significantly improves the speed of dying cgroups reclaim.

2018-10-05mm/vmscan.c: fix int overflow in callers of do_shrink_slab()Kirill Tkhai
do_shrink_slab() returns unsigned long value, and the placing into int variable cuts high bytes off. Then we compare ret and 0xfffffffe (since SHRINK_EMPTY is converted to ret type). Thus a large number of objects returned by do_shrink_slab() may be interpreted as SHRINK_EMPTY, if low bytes of their value are equal to 0xfffffffe. Fix that by declaration ret as unsigned long in these functions.

2018-09-20mm: slowly shrink slabs with a relatively small number of objectsRoman Gushchin
9092c71bb724 ("mm: use sc->priority for slab shrink targets") changed the way that the target slab pressure is calculated and made it priority-based: delta = freeable >> priority; delta *= 4; do_div(delta, shrinker->seeks); The problem is that on a default priority (which is 12) no pressure is applied at all, if the number of potentially reclaimable objects is less than 4096 (1<<12). This causes the last objects on slab caches of no longer used cgroups to (almost) never get reclaimed. It's obviously a waste of memory. It can be especially painful, if these stale objects are holding a reference to a dying cgroup. Slab LRU lists are reparented on memcg offlining, but corresponding objects are still holding a reference to the dying cgroup. If we don't scan these objects, the dying cgroup can't go away. Most likely, the parent cgroup hasn't any directly charged objects, only remaining objects from dying children cgroups. So it can easily hold a reference to hundreds of dying cgroups. If there are no big spikes in memory pressure, and new memory cgroups are created and destroyed periodically, this causes the number of dying cgroups grow steadily, causing a slow-ish and hard-to-detect memory "leak". It's not a real leak, as the memory can be eventually reclaimed, but it could not happen in a real life at all. I've seen hosts with a steadily climbing number of dying cgroups, which doesn't show any signs of a decline in months, despite the host is loaded with a production workload. It is an obvious waste of memory, and to prevent it, let's apply a minimal pressure even on small shrinker lists. E.g. if there are freeable objects, let's scan at least min(freeable, scan_batch) objects. This fix significantly improves a chance of a dying cgroup to be reclaimed, and together with some previous patches stops the steady growth of the dying cgroups number on some of our hosts.

There is a sad BUG introduced in patch adding SHRINKER_REGISTERING. shrinker_idr business is only for memcg-aware shrinkers. Only such type of shrinkers have id and they must be finaly installed via idr_replace() in this function. For !memcg-aware shrinkers we never initialize shrinker->id field. But there are all types of shrinkers passed to idr_replace(), and every !memcg-aware shrinker with random ID (most probably, its id is 0) replaces memcg-aware shrinker pointed by the ID in IDR.

2018-08-17mm: use special value SHRINKER_REGISTERING instead of list_empty() checkKirill Tkhai
The patch introduces a special value SHRINKER_REGISTERING to use instead of list_empty() to differ a registering shrinker from unregistered shrinker. Why we need that at all? Shrinker registration is split in two parts. The first one is prealloc_shrinker(), which allocates shrinker memory and reserves ID in shrinker_idr. This function can fail. The second is register_shrinker_prepared(), and it finalizes the registration. This function actually makes shrinker available to be used from shrink_slab(), and it can't fail. One shrinker may be based on more then one LRU lists. So, we never clear the bit in memcg shrinker maps, when (one of) corresponding LRU list becomes empty, since other LRU lists may be not empty. See superblock shrinker for example: it is based on two LRU lists: s_inode_lru and s_dentry_lru. We do not want to clear shrinker bit, when there are no inodes in s_inode_lru, as s_dentry_lru may contain dentries. Instead of that, we use special algorithm to detect shrinkers having no elements at all its LRU lists, and this is made in shrink_slab_memcg(). See the comment in this function for the details. Also, in shrink_slab_memcg() we clear shrinker bit in the map, when we meet unregistered shrinker (bit is set, while there is no a shrinker in IDR). Otherwise, we would have done that at the moment of shrinker unregistration for all memcgs (and this looks worse, since iteration over all memcg may take much time). Also this would have imposed restrictions on shrinker unregistration order for its users: they would have had to guarantee, there are no new elements after unregister_shrinker() (otherwise, a new added element would have set a bit). So, if we meet a set bit in map and no shrinker in IDR when we're iterating over the map in shrink_slab_memcg(), this means the corresponding shrinker is unregistered, and we must clear the bit. Another case is shrinker registration. We want two things there: 1) do_shrink_slab() can be called only for completely registered shrinkers; 2) shrinker internal lists may be populated in any order with register_shrinker_prepared() (let's talk on the example with sb). Both of: a)list_lru_add(&inode->i_sb->s_inode_lru, &inode->i_lru); [cpu0] memcg_set_shrinker_bit(); [cpu0] ... register_shrinker_prepared(); [cpu1] and b)register_shrinker_prepared(); [cpu0] ... list_lru_add(&inode->i_sb->s_inode_lru, &inode->i_lru); [cpu1] memcg_set_shrinker_bit(); [cpu1] are legitimate. We don't want to impose restriction here and to force people to use only (b) variant. We don't want to force people to care, there is no elements in LRU lists before the shrinker is completely registered. Internal users of LRU lists and shrinker code are two different subsystems, and they have to be closed in themselves each other. In (a) case we have the bit set before shrinker is completely registered. We don't want do_shrink_slab() is called at this moment, so we have to detect such the registering shrinkers. Before this patch list_empty() (shrinker is not linked to the list) check was used for that. So, in (a) there could be a bit set, but we don't call do_shrink_slab() unless shrinker is linked to the list. It's just an indicator, I just overloaded linking to the list. This was not the best solution, since it's better not to touch the shrinker memory from shrink_slab_memcg() before it's completely registered (this also will be useful in the future to make shrink_slab() completely lockless). So, this patch introduces better way to detect registering shrinker, which allows not to dereference shrinker memory. It's just a ~0UL value, which we insert into the IDR during ID allocation. After shrinker is ready to be used, we insert actual shrinker pointer in the IDR, and it becomes available to shrink_slab_memcg(). We can't use NULL instead of this new value for this purpose as: shrink_slab_memcg() already uses NULL to detect unregistered shrinkers, and we don't want the function sees NULL and clears the bit, otherwise (a) won't work. This is the only thing the patch makes: the better way to detect registering shrinker. Nothing else this patch makes. Also this gives a better assembler, but it's minor side of the patch: Before: callq <idr_find> mov %rax,%r15 test %rax,%rax je <shrink_slab_memcg+0x1d5> mov 0x20(%rax),%rax lea 0x20(%r15),%rdx cmp %rax,%rdx je <shrink_slab_memcg+0xbd> mov 0x8(%rsp),%edx mov %r15,%rsi lea 0x10(%rsp),%rdi callq <do_shrink_slab> After: callq <idr_find> mov %rax,%r15 lea -0x1(%rax),%rax cmp $0xfffffffffffffffd,%rax ja <shrink_slab_memcg+0x1cd> mov 0x8(%rsp),%edx mov %r15,%rsi lea 0x10(%rsp),%rdi callq ffffffff810cefd0 <do_shrink_slab> [ktkhai@virtuozzo.com: add #ifdef CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM around idr_replace()] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/758b8fec-7573-47eb-b26a-7b2847ae7b8c@virtuozzo.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/153355467546.11522.4518015068123480218.stgit@localhost.localdomain Signed-off-by: Kirill Tkhai <ktkhai@virtuozzo.com> Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov.dev@gmail.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com> Cc: "Huang, Ying" <ying.huang@intel.com> Cc: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org> Cc: Shakeel Butt <shakeelb@google.com> Cc: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2018-08-17mm/vmscan.c: clear shrinker bit if there are no objects related to memcgKirill Tkhai
To avoid further unneed calls of do_shrink_slab() for shrinkers, which already do not have any charged objects in a memcg, their bits have to be cleared. This patch introduces a lockless mechanism to do that without races without parallel list lru add. After do_shrink_slab() returns SHRINK_EMPTY the first time, we clear the bit and call it once again. Then we restore the bit, if the new return value is different. Note, that single smp_mb__after_atomic() in shrink_slab_memcg() covers two situations: 1)list_lru_add() shrink_slab_memcg list_add_tail() for_each_set_bit() <--- read bit do_shrink_slab() <--- missed list update (no barrier) <MB> <MB> set_bit() do_shrink_slab() <--- seen list update This situation, when the first do_shrink_slab() sees set bit, but it doesn't see list update (i.e., race with the first element queueing), is rare. So we don't add <MB> before the first call of do_shrink_slab() instead of this to do not slow down generic case. Also, it's need the second call as seen in below in (2). 2)list_lru_add() shrink_slab_memcg() list_add_tail() ... set_bit() ... ... for_each_set_bit() do_shrink_slab() do_shrink_slab() clear_bit() ... ... ... list_lru_add() ... list_add_tail() clear_bit() <MB> <MB> set_bit() do_shrink_slab() The barriers guarantee that the second do_shrink_slab() in the right side task sees list update if really cleared the bit. This case is drawn in the code comment.

2018-08-17mm: add SHRINK_EMPTY shrinker methods return valueKirill Tkhai
We need to distinguish the situations when shrinker has very small amount of objects (see vfs_pressure_ratio() called from super_cache_count()), and when it has no objects at all. Currently, in the both of these cases, shrinker::count_objects() returns 0. The patch introduces new SHRINK_EMPTY return value, which will be used for "no objects at all" case. It's is a refactoring mostly, as SHRINK_EMPTY is replaced by 0 by all callers of do_shrink_slab() in this patch, and all the magic will happen in further.

2018-08-17mm/vmscan.c: iterate only over charged shrinkers during memcg shrink_slab()Kirill Tkhai
Using the preparations made in previous patches, in case of memcg shrink, we may avoid shrinkers, which are not set in memcg's shrinkers bitmap. To do that, we separate iterations over memcg-aware and !memcg-aware shrinkers, and memcg-aware shrinkers are chosen via for_each_set_bit() from the bitmap. In case of big nodes, having many isolated environments, this gives significant performance growth. See next patches for the details. Note that the patch does not respect to empty memcg shrinkers, since we never clear the bitmap bits after we set it once. Their shrinkers will be called again, with no shrinked objects as result. This functionality is provided by next patches.

2018-08-17mm, memcg: assign memcg-aware shrinkers bitmap to memcgKirill Tkhai
Imagine a big node with many cpus, memory cgroups and containers. Let we have 200 containers, every container has 10 mounts, and 10 cgroups. All container tasks don't touch foreign containers mounts. If there is intensive pages write, and global reclaim happens, a writing task has to iterate over all memcgs to shrink slab, before it's able to go to shrink_page_list(). Iteration over all the memcg slabs is very expensive: the task has to visit 200 * 10 = 2000 shrinkers for every memcg, and since there are 2000 memcgs, the total calls are 2000 * 2000 = 4000000. So, the shrinker makes 4 million do_shrink_slab() calls just to try to isolate SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages in one of the actively writing memcg via shrink_page_list(). I've observed a node spending almost 100% in kernel, making useless iteration over already shrinked slab. This patch adds bitmap of memcg-aware shrinkers to memcg. The size of the bitmap depends on bitmap_nr_ids, and during memcg life it's maintained to be enough to fit bitmap_nr_ids shrinkers. Every bit in the map is related to corresponding shrinker id. Next patches will maintain set bit only for really charged memcg. This will allow shrink_slab() to increase its performance in significant way. See the last patch for the numbers.

2018-08-17mm/vmscan.c: condense scan_controlGreg Thelen
Use smaller scan_control fields for order, priority, and reclaim_idx. Convert fields from int => s8. All easily fit within a byte: - allocation order range: 0..MAX_ORDER(64?) - priority range: 0..12(DEF_PRIORITY) - reclaim_idx range: 0..6(__MAX_NR_ZONES) Since 6538b8ea886e ("x86_64: expand kernel stack to 16K") x86_64 stack overflows are not an issue. But it's inefficient to use ints. Use s8 (signed byte) rather than u8 to allow for loops like: do { ... } while (--sc.priority >= 0); Add BUILD_BUG_ON to verify that s8 is capable of storing max values. This reduces sizeof(struct scan_control): - 96 => 80 bytes (x86_64) - 68 => 56 bytes (i386) scan_control structure field order is changed to utilize padding. After this patch there is 1 bit of scan_control padding. akpm: makes my vmscan.o's .text 572 bytes smaller as well.

2018-06-07memcg: introduce memory.minRoman Gushchin
Memory controller implements the memory.low best-effort memory protection mechanism, which works perfectly in many cases and allows protecting working sets of important workloads from sudden reclaim. But its semantics has a significant limitation: it works only as long as there is a supply of reclaimable memory. This makes it pretty useless against any sort of slow memory leaks or memory usage increases. This is especially true for swapless systems. If swap is enabled, memory soft protection effectively postpones problems, allowing a leaking application to fill all swap area, which makes no sense. The only effective way to guarantee the memory protection in this case is to invoke the OOM killer. It's possible to handle this case in userspace by reacting on MEMCG_LOW events; but there is still a place for a fail-safe in-kernel mechanism to provide stronger guarantees. This patch introduces the memory.min interface for cgroup v2 memory controller. It works very similarly to memory.low (sharing the same hierarchical behavior), except that it's not disabled if there is no more reclaimable memory in the system. If cgroup is not populated, its memory.min is ignored, because otherwise even the OOM killer wouldn't be able to reclaim the protected memory, and the system can stall.

2018-06-07lockdep: fix fs_reclaim annotationOmar Sandoval
While revisiting my Btrfs swapfile series [1], I introduced a situation in which reclaim would lock i_rwsem, and even though the swapon() path clearly made GFP_KERNEL allocations while holding i_rwsem, I got no complaints from lockdep. It turns out that the rework of the fs_reclaim annotation was broken: if the current task has PF_MEMALLOC set, we don't acquire the dummy fs_reclaim lock, but when reclaiming we always check this _after_ we've just set the PF_MEMALLOC flag. In most cases, we can fix this by moving the fs_reclaim_{acquire,release}() outside of the memalloc_noreclaim_{save,restore}(), althought kswapd is slightly different. After applying this, I got the expected lockdep splats. 1: https://lwn.net/Articles/625412/ Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/9f8aa70652a98e98d7c4de0fc96a4addcee13efe.1523778026.git.osandov@fb.com Fixes: d92a8cfcb37e ("locking/lockdep: Rework FS_RECLAIM annotation") Signed-off-by: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com> Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Fix it, to match both the comment above it, and the original behaviour. Although anonymous pages are not marked PageDirty at first, we have an old habit of calling SetPageDirty when a page is removed from swap cache: so there's a category of ex-swap pages that are easily migratable, but were inadvertently excluded from compaction's async migration in 4.16.

2018-04-16mm,vmscan: Allow preallocating memory for register_shrinker().Tetsuo Handa
syzbot is catching so many bugs triggered by commit 9ee332d99e4d5a97 ("sget(): handle failures of register_shrinker()"). That commit expected that calling kill_sb() from deactivate_locked_super() without successful fill_super() is safe, but the reality was different; some callers assign attributes which are needed for kill_sb() after sget() succeeds. For example, [1] is a report where sb->s_mode (which seems to be either FMODE_READ | FMODE_EXCL | FMODE_WRITE or FMODE_READ | FMODE_EXCL) is not assigned unless sget() succeeds. But it does not worth complicate sget() so that register_shrinker() failure path can safely call kill_block_super() via kill_sb(). Making alloc_super() fail if memory allocation for register_shrinker() failed is much simpler. Let's avoid calling deactivate_locked_super() from sget_userns() by preallocating memory for the shrinker and making register_shrinker() in sget_userns() never fail.

For memory.stat this is acceptable. But memory.events issues file notifications, and somebody polling the file for changes will be confused when the counters in it are unchanged after a wakeup. Luckily, the events in memory.events - MEMCG_LOW, MEMCG_HIGH, MEMCG_MAX, MEMCG_OOM - are sufficiently rare and high-level that we don't need per-cpu buffering for them: MEMCG_HIGH and MEMCG_MAX would be the most frequent, but they're counting invocations of reclaim, which is a complex operation that touches many shared cachelines. This splits memory.events from the generic VM events and tracks them in their own, unbuffered atomic counters. That's also cleaner, as it eliminates the ugly enum nesting of VM and cgroup events.

2018-04-11mm, vmscan, tracing: use pointer to reclaim_stat struct in trace eventSteven Rostedt
The trace event trace_mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive() currently has 12 parameters! Seven of them are from the reclaim_stat structure. This structure is currently local to mm/vmscan.c. By moving it to the global vmstat.h header, we can also reference it from the vmscan tracepoints. In moving it, it brings down the overhead of passing so many arguments to the trace event. In the future, we may limit the number of arguments that a trace event may pass (ideally just 6, but more realistically it may be 8). Before this patch, the code to call the trace event is this: 0f 83 aa fe ff ff jae ffffffff811e6261 <shrink_inactive_list+0x1e1> 48 8b 45 a0 mov -0x60(%rbp),%rax 45 8b 64 24 20 mov 0x20(%r12),%r12d 44 8b 6d d4 mov -0x2c(%rbp),%r13d 8b 4d d0 mov -0x30(%rbp),%ecx 44 8b 75 cc mov -0x34(%rbp),%r14d 44 8b 7d c8 mov -0x38(%rbp),%r15d 48 89 45 90 mov %rax,-0x70(%rbp) 8b 83 b8 fe ff ff mov -0x148(%rbx),%eax 8b 55 c0 mov -0x40(%rbp),%edx 8b 7d c4 mov -0x3c(%rbp),%edi 8b 75 b8 mov -0x48(%rbp),%esi 89 45 80 mov %eax,-0x80(%rbp) 65 ff 05 e4 f7 e2 7e incl %gs:0x7ee2f7e4(%rip) # 15bd0 <__preempt_count> 48 8b 05 75 5b 13 01 mov 0x1135b75(%rip),%rax # ffffffff8231bf68 <__tracepoint_mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive+0x28> 48 85 c0 test %rax,%rax 74 72 je ffffffff811e646a <shrink_inactive_list+0x3ea> 48 89 c3 mov %rax,%rbx 4c 8b 10 mov (%rax),%r10 89 f8 mov %edi,%eax 48 89 85 68 ff ff ff mov %rax,-0x98(%rbp) 89 f0 mov %esi,%eax 48 89 85 60 ff ff ff mov %rax,-0xa0(%rbp) 89 c8 mov %ecx,%eax 48 89 85 78 ff ff ff mov %rax,-0x88(%rbp) 89 d0 mov %edx,%eax 48 89 85 70 ff ff ff mov %rax,-0x90(%rbp) 8b 45 8c mov -0x74(%rbp),%eax 48 8b 7b 08 mov 0x8(%rbx),%rdi 48 83 c3 18 add $0x18,%rbx 50 push %rax 41 54 push %r12 41 55 push %r13 ff b5 78 ff ff ff pushq -0x88(%rbp) 41 56 push %r14 41 57 push %r15 ff b5 70 ff ff ff pushq -0x90(%rbp) 4c 8b 8d 68 ff ff ff mov -0x98(%rbp),%r9 4c 8b 85 60 ff ff ff mov -0xa0(%rbp),%r8 48 8b 4d 98 mov -0x68(%rbp),%rcx 48 8b 55 90 mov -0x70(%rbp),%rdx 8b 75 80 mov -0x80(%rbp),%esi 41 ff d2 callq *%r10 After the patch: 0f 83 a8 fe ff ff jae ffffffff811e626d <shrink_inactive_list+0x1cd> 8b 9b b8 fe ff ff mov -0x148(%rbx),%ebx 45 8b 64 24 20 mov 0x20(%r12),%r12d 4c 8b 6d a0 mov -0x60(%rbp),%r13 65 ff 05 f5 f7 e2 7e incl %gs:0x7ee2f7f5(%rip) # 15bd0 <__preempt_count> 4c 8b 35 86 5b 13 01 mov 0x1135b86(%rip),%r14 # ffffffff8231bf68 <__tracepoint_mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive+0x28> 4d 85 f6 test %r14,%r14 74 2a je ffffffff811e6411 <shrink_inactive_list+0x371> 49 8b 06 mov (%r14),%rax 8b 4d 8c mov -0x74(%rbp),%ecx 49 8b 7e 08 mov 0x8(%r14),%rdi 49 83 c6 18 add $0x18,%r14 4c 89 ea mov %r13,%rdx 45 89 e1 mov %r12d,%r9d 4c 8d 45 b8 lea -0x48(%rbp),%r8 89 de mov %ebx,%esi 51 push %rcx 48 8b 4d 98 mov -0x68(%rbp),%rcx ff d0 callq *%rax Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/2559d7cb-ec60-1200-2362-04fa34fd02bb@fb.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180322121003.4177af15@gandalf.local.home Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Reported-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@fb.com> Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com> Cc: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2018-04-11mm/vmscan: don't mess with pgdat->flags in memcg reclaimAndrey Ryabinin
memcg reclaim may alter pgdat->flags based on the state of LRU lists in cgroup and its children. PGDAT_WRITEBACK may force kswapd to sleep congested_wait(), PGDAT_DIRTY may force kswapd to writeback filesystem pages. But the worst here is PGDAT_CONGESTED, since it may force all direct reclaims to stall in wait_iff_congested(). Note that only kswapd have powers to clear any of these bits. This might just never happen if cgroup limits configured that way. So all direct reclaims will stall as long as we have some congested bdi in the system. Leave all pgdat->flags manipulations to kswapd. kswapd scans the whole pgdat, only kswapd can clear pgdat->flags once node is balanced, thus it's reasonable to leave all decisions about node state to kswapd. Why only kswapd? Why not allow to global direct reclaim change these flags? It is because currently only kswapd can clear these flags. I'm less worried about the case when PGDAT_CONGESTED falsely not set, and more worried about the case when it falsely set. If direct reclaimer sets PGDAT_CONGESTED, do we have guarantee that after the congestion problem is sorted out, kswapd will be woken up and clear the flag? It seems like there is no such guarantee. E.g. direct reclaimers may eventually balance pgdat and kswapd simply won't wake up (see wakeup_kswapd()). Moving pgdat->flags manipulation to kswapd, means that cgroup2 recalim now loses its congestion throttling mechanism. Add per-cgroup congestion state and throttle cgroup2 reclaimers if memcg is in congestion state. Currently there is no need in per-cgroup PGDAT_WRITEBACK and PGDAT_DIRTY bits since they alter only kswapd behavior. The problem could be easily demonstrated by creating heavy congestion in one cgroup: echo "+memory" > /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/congester echo 512M > /sys/fs/cgroup/congester/memory.max echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/congester/cgroup.procs /* generate a lot of diry data on slow HDD */ while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb/zeroes bs=1M count=1024; done & .... while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb/zeroes bs=1M count=1024; done & and some job in another cgroup: mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/victim echo 128M > /sys/fs/cgroup/victim/memory.max # time cat /dev/sda > /dev/null real 10m15.054s user 0m0.487s sys 1m8.505s According to the tracepoint in wait_iff_congested(), the 'cat' spent 50% of the time sleeping there.

2018-04-11mm/vmscan: don't change pgdat state on base of a single LRU list stateAndrey Ryabinin
We have separate LRU list for each memory cgroup. Memory reclaim iterates over cgroups and calls shrink_inactive_list() every inactive LRU list. Based on the state of a single LRU shrink_inactive_list() may flag the whole node as dirty,congested or under writeback. This is obviously wrong and hurtful. It's especially hurtful when we have possibly small congested cgroup in system. Than *all* direct reclaims waste time by sleeping in wait_iff_congested(). And the more memcgs in the system we have the longer memory allocation stall is, because wait_iff_congested() called on each lru-list scan. Sum reclaim stats across all visited LRUs on node and flag node as dirty, congested or under writeback based on that sum. Also call congestion_wait(), wait_iff_congested() once per pgdat scan, instead of once per lru-list scan. This only fixes the problem for global reclaim case. Per-cgroup reclaim may alter global pgdat flags too, which is wrong. But that is separate issue and will be addressed in the next patch. This change will not have any effect on a systems with all workload concentrated in a single cgroup.

2018-04-05mm, page_alloc: wakeup kcompactd even if kswapd cannot free more memoryDavid Rientjes
Kswapd will not wakeup if per-zone watermarks are not failing or if too many previous attempts at background reclaim have failed. This can be true if there is a lot of free memory available. For high- order allocations, kswapd is responsible for waking up kcompactd for background compaction. If the zone is not below its watermarks or reclaim has recently failed (lots of free memory, nothing left to reclaim), kcompactd does not get woken up. When __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is not allowed, allow kcompactd to still be woken up even if kswapd will not reclaim. This allows high-order allocations, such as thp, to still trigger background compaction even when the zone has an abundance of free memory.

2018-04-05mm: fix races between address_space dereference and free in page_evicatableHuang Ying
When page_mapping() is called and the mapping is dereferenced in page_evicatable() through shrink_active_list(), it is possible for the inode to be truncated and the embedded address space to be freed at the same time. This may lead to the following race. CPU1 CPU2 truncate(inode) shrink_active_list() ... page_evictable(page) truncate_inode_page(mapping, page); delete_from_page_cache(page) spin_lock_irqsave(&mapping->tree_lock, flags); __delete_from_page_cache(page, NULL) page_cache_tree_delete(..) ... mapping = page_mapping(page); page->mapping = NULL; ... spin_unlock_irqrestore(&mapping->tree_lock, flags); page_cache_free_page(mapping, page) put_page(page) if (put_page_testzero(page)) -> false - inode now has no pages and can be freed including embedded address_space mapping_unevictable(mapping) test_bit(AS_UNEVICTABLE, &mapping->flags); - we've dereferenced mapping which is potentially already free. Similar race exists between swap cache freeing and page_evicatable() too. The address_space in inode and swap cache will be freed after a RCU grace period. So the races are fixed via enclosing the page_mapping() and address_space usage in rcu_read_lock/unlock(). Some comments are added in code to make it clear what is protected by the RCU read lock.

2018-03-22mm/vmscan: wake up flushers for legacy cgroups tooAndrey Ryabinin
Commit 726d061fbd36 ("mm: vmscan: kick flushers when we encounter dirty pages on the LRU") added flusher invocation to shrink_inactive_list() when many dirty pages on the LRU are encountered. However, shrink_inactive_list() doesn't wake up flushers for legacy cgroup reclaim, so the next commit bbef938429f5 ("mm: vmscan: remove old flusher wakeup from direct reclaim path") removed the only source of flusher's wake up in legacy mem cgroup reclaim path.

2018-02-21mm, mlock, vmscan: no more skipping pagevecsShakeel Butt
When a thread mlocks an address space backed either by file pages which are currently not present in memory or swapped out anon pages (not in swapcache), a new page is allocated and added to the local pagevec (lru_add_pvec), I/O is triggered and the thread then sleeps on the page. On I/O completion, the thread can wake on a different CPU, the mlock syscall will then sets the PageMlocked() bit of the page but will not be able to put that page in unevictable LRU as the page is on the pagevec of a different CPU. Even on drain, that page will go to evictable LRU because the PageMlocked() bit is not checked on pagevec drain. The page will eventually go to right LRU on reclaim but the LRU stats will remain skewed for a long time. This patch puts all the pages, even unevictable, to the pagevecs and on the drain, the pages will be added on their LRUs correctly by checking their evictability. This resolves the mlocked pages on pagevec of other CPUs issue because when those pagevecs will be drained, the mlocked file pages will go to unevictable LRU. Also this makes the race with munlock easier to resolve because the pagevec drains happen in LRU lock. However there is still one place which makes a page evictable and does PageLRU check on that page without LRU lock and needs special attention. TestClearPageMlocked() and isolate_lru_page() in clear_page_mlock(). #0: __pagevec_lru_add_fn #1: clear_page_mlock SetPageLRU() if (!TestClearPageMlocked()) return smp_mb() // <--required // inside does PageLRU if (!PageMlocked()) if (isolate_lru_page()) move to evictable LRU putback_lru_page() else move to unevictable LRU In '#1', TestClearPageMlocked() provides full memory barrier semantics and thus the PageLRU check (inside isolate_lru_page) can not be reordered before it. In '#0', without explicit memory barrier, the PageMlocked() check can be reordered before SetPageLRU(). If that happens, '#0' can put a page in unevictable LRU and '#1' might have just cleared the Mlocked bit of that page but fails to isolate as PageLRU fails as '#0' still hasn't set PageLRU bit of that page. That page will be stranded on the unevictable LRU. There is one (good) side effect though. Without this patch, the pages allocated for System V shared memory segment are added to evictable LRUs even after shmctl(SHM_LOCK) on that segment. This patch will correctly put such pages to unevictable LRU.
