Patch series "Convert the swap code to be more folio-based". There's still more to do with the swap code, but this reaps a lot of the folio benefit. More than 4kB of kernel text saved (with the UEK7 kernel config). I don't know how much that's going to translate into CPU savings, but some of those compound_head() calls are on every page free, so it should be noticable. It might even be noticable just from an I-cache consumption perspective. This patch (of 22): This is just a wrapper around release_pages() for now. Place the prototype in mm.h along with folio_put() and folio_put_refs().

Similar to our MM_CP_DIRTY_ACCT handling for shared, writable mappings, we can try mapping anonymous pages in a private writable mapping writable if they are exclusive, the PTE is already dirty, and no special handling applies. Mapping the anonymous page writable is essentially the same thing the write fault handler would do in this case. Special handling is required for uffd-wp and softdirty tracking, so take care of that properly. Also, leave PROT_NONE handling alone for now; in the future, we could similarly extend the logic in do_numa_page() or use pte_mk_savedwrite() here. While this improves mprotect(PROT_READ)+mprotect(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE) performance, it should also be a valuable optimization for uffd-wp, when un-protecting. This has been previously suggested by Peter Collingbourne in [1], relevant in the context of the Scudo memory allocator, before we had PageAnonExclusive. This commit doesn't add the same handling for PMDs (i.e., anonymous THP, anonymous hugetlb); benchmark results from Andrea indicate that there are minor performance gains, so it's might still be valuable to streamline that logic for all anonymous pages in the future. As we now also set MM_CP_DIRTY_ACCT for private mappings, let's rename it to MM_CP_TRY_CHANGE_WRITABLE, to make it clearer what's actually happening.

On Android this test is getting stuck in an infinite loop due to indeterminate behavior: The local variables steps and signalled were being reset to 1 and 0 respectively after every jump back to sigsetjmp by siglongjmp in the signal handler. The test was incrementing them and expecting them to retain their incremented values. The documentation for siglongjmp says: All accessible objects have values as of the time sigsetjmp() was called, except that the values of objects of automatic storage duration which are local to the function containing the invocation of the corresponding sigsetjmp() which do not have volatile-qualified type and which are changed between the sigsetjmp() invocation and siglongjmp() call are indeterminate. Tagging steps and signalled with volatile enabled the test to pass.

Users can do data access-aware LRU-lists sorting using 'LRU_PRIO' and 'LRU_DEPRIO' DAMOS actions. However, finding best parameters including the hotness/coldness thresholds, CPU quota, and watermarks could be challenging for some users. To make the scheme easy to be used without complex tuning for common situations, this commit implements a static kernel module called 'DAMON_LRU_SORT' using the 'LRU_PRIO' and 'LRU_DEPRIO' DAMOS actions. It proactively sorts LRU-lists using DAMON with conservatively chosen default values of the parameters. That is, the module under its default parameters will make no harm for common situations but provide some level of efficiency improvements for systems having clear hot/cold access pattern under a level of memory pressure while consuming only a limited small portion of CPU time.

This commit adds a new DAMON-based operation scheme action called 'LRU_DEPRIO' for physical address space. The action deprioritizes pages in the memory area of the target access pattern on their LRU lists. This is hence supposed to be used for rarely accessed (cold) memory regions so that cold pages could be more likely reclaimed first under memory pressure. Internally, it simply calls 'lru_deactivate()'. Using this with 'LRU_PRIO' action for hot pages, users can proactively sort LRU lists based on the access pattern. That is, it can make the LRU lists somewhat more trustworthy source of access temperature. As a result, efficiency of LRU-lists based mechanisms including the reclamation target selection could be improved.

Patch series "Extend DAMOS for Proactive LRU-lists Sorting". Introduction ============ In short, this patchset 1) extends DAMON-based Operation Schemes (DAMOS) for low overhead data access pattern based LRU-lists sorting, and 2) implements a static kernel module for easy use of conservatively-tuned version of that using the extended DAMOS capability. Background ---------- As page-granularity access checking overhead could be significant on huge systems, LRU lists are normally not proactively sorted but partially and reactively sorted for special events including specific user requests, system calls and memory pressure. As a result, LRU lists are sometimes not so perfectly prepared to be used as a trustworthy access pattern source for some situations including reclamation target pages selection under sudden memory pressure. DAMON-based Proactive LRU-lists Sorting --------------------------------------- Because DAMON can identify access patterns of best-effort accuracy while inducing only user-specified range of overhead, using DAMON for Proactive LRU-lists Sorting (PLRUS) could be helpful for this situation. The idea is quite simple. Find hot pages and cold pages using DAMON, and prioritize hot pages while deprioritizing cold pages on their LRU-lists. This patchset extends DAMON to support such schemes by introducing a couple of new DAMOS actions for prioritizing and deprioritizing memory regions of specific access patterns on their LRU-lists. In detail, this patchset simply uses 'mark_page_accessed()' and 'deactivate_page()' functions for prioritization and deprioritization of pages on their LRU lists, respectively. To make the scheme easy to use without complex tuning for common situations, this patchset further implements a static kernel module called 'DAMON_LRU_SORT' using the extended DAMOS functionality. It proactively sorts LRU-lists using DAMON with conservatively chosen default hotness/coldness thresholds and small CPU usage quota limit. That is, the module under its default parameters will make no harm for common situation but provide some level of benefit for systems having clear hot/cold access pattern under only memory pressure while consuming only limited small portion of CPU time. Related Works ------------- Proactive reclamation is well known to be helpful for reducing non-optimal reclamation target selection caused performance drops. However, proactive reclamation is not a best option for some cases, because it could incur additional I/O. For an example, it could be prohitive for systems using storage devices that total number of writes is limited, or cloud block storages that charges every I/O. Some proactive reclamation approaches[1,2] induce a level of memory pressure using memcg files or swappiness while monitoring PSI. As reclamation target selection is still relying on the original LRU-lists mechanism, using DAMON-based proactive reclamation before inducing the proactive reclamation could allow more memory saving with same level of performance overhead, or less performance overhead with same level of memory saving. [1] https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/anticipating-your-memory-needs [2] https://www.pdl.cmu.edu/ftp/NVM/tmo_asplos22.pdf Evaluation ========== In short, PLRUS achieves 10% memory PSI (some) reduction, 14% major page faults reduction, and 3.74% speedup under memory pressure. Setup ----- To show the effect of PLRUS, I run PARSEC3 and SPLASH-2X benchmarks under below variant systems and measure a few metrics including the runtime of each workload, number of system-wide major page faults, and system-wide memory PSI (some). - orig: v5.18-rc4 based mm-unstable kernel + this patchset, but no DAMON scheme applied. - mprs: Same to 'orig' but artificial memory pressure is induced. - plrus: Same to 'mprs' but a radically tuned PLRUS scheme is applied to the entire physical address space of the system. For the artificial memory pressure, I set 'memory.limit_in_bytes' to 75% of the running workload's peak RSS, wait 1 second, remove the pressure by setting it to 200% of the peak RSS, wait 10 seconds, and repeat the procedure until the workload finishes[1]. I use zram based swap device. The tests are automated[2]. [1] https://github.com/awslabs/damon-tests/blob/next/perf/runners/back/0009_memcg_pressure.sh [2] https://github.com/awslabs/damon-tests/blob/next/perf/full_once_config.sh Radically Tuned PLRUS --------------------- To show effect of PLRUS on the PARSEC3/SPLASH-2X workloads which runs for no long time, we use radically tuned version of PLRUS. The version asks DAMON to do the proactive LRU-lists sorting as below. 1. Find any memory regions shown some accesses (approximately >=20 accesses per 100 sampling) and prioritize pages of the regions on their LRU lists using up to 2% CPU time. Under the CPU time limit, prioritize regions having higher access frequency and kept the access frequency longer first. 2. Find any memory regions shown no access for at least >=5 seconds and deprioritize pages of the rgions on their LRU lists using up to 2% CPU time. Under the CPU time limit, deprioritize regions that not accessed for longer time first. Results ------- I repeat the tests 25 times and calculate average of the measured numbers. The results are as below: metric orig mprs plrus plrus/mprs runtime_seconds 190.06 292.83 281.87 0.96 pgmajfaults 852.55 8769420.00 7525040.00 0.86 memory_psi_some_us 106911.00 6943420.00 6220920.00 0.90 The first row is for legend. The first cell shows the metric that the following cells of the row shows. Second, third, and fourth cells show the metrics under the configs shown at the first row of the cell, and the fifth cell shows the metric under 'plrus' divided by the metric under 'mprs'. Second row shows the averaged runtime of the workloads in seconds. Third row shows the number of system-wide major page faults while the test was ongoing. Fourth row shows the system-wide memory pressure stall for some processes in microseconds while the test was ongoing. In short, PLRUS achieves 10% memory PSI (some) reduction, 14% major page faults reduction, and 3.74% speedup under memory pressure. We also confirmed the CPU usage of kdamond was 2.61% of single CPU, which is below 4% as expected. Sequence of Patches =================== The first and second patch cleans up DAMON debugfs interface and DAMOS_PAGEOUT handling code of physical address space monitoring operations implementation for easier extension of the code. The thrid and fourth patches implement a new DAMOS action called 'lru_prio', which prioritizes pages under memory regions which have a user-specified access pattern, and document it, respectively. The fifth and sixth patches implement yet another new DAMOS action called 'lru_deprio', which deprioritizes pages under memory regions which have a user-specified access pattern, and document it, respectively. The seventh patch implements a static kernel module called 'damon_lru_sort', which utilizes the DAMON-based proactive LRU-lists sorting under conservatively chosen default parameter. Finally, the eighth patch documents 'damon_lru_sort'. This patch (of 8): DAMON debugfs interface assumes users will write 'damos_action' value directly to the 'schemes' file. This makes adding new 'damos_action' in the middle of its definition breaks the backward compatibility of DAMON debugfs interface, as values of some 'damos_action' could be changed. To mitigate the situation, this commit adds mappings between the user inputs and 'damos_action' value and makes DAMON debugfs code uses those.

swap_cache_info are not statistics that could be easily used to tune system performance because they are not easily accessile. Also they can't provide really useful info when OOM occurs. Remove these statistics can also help mitigate unneeded global swap_cache_info cacheline contention.

si->inuse_pages could still be accessed concurrently now. The plain reads outside si->lock critical section, i.e. swap_show and si_swapinfo, which results in data races. READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE is used to fix such data races. Note these data races should be ok because they're just used for showing swap info. [linmiaohe@huawei.com: use WRITE_ONCE to pair with READ_ONCE] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220625093346.48894-2-linmiaohe@huawei.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220608144031.829-3-linmiaohe@huawei.comSigned-off-by: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@huawei.com> Reviewed-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: "Huang, Ying" <ying.huang@intel.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

A get_random_bytes() function can cause a high contention if it is called across CPUs simultaneously.

The reason is to minimize CPU cycles introduced by the test-suite itself from the vmalloc performance metrics.

__find_vmap_area() finds a "vmap_area" based on passed address. It scan the specific "vmap_area_root" rb-tree. Extend the function with one extra argument, so any tree can be specified where the search has to be done. There is no functional change as a result of this patch.
