ksm: support unsharing KSM-placed zero pages · 79271476

xu xin authored Jun 13, 2023

Patch series "ksm: support tracking KSM-placed zero-pages", v10.

The core idea of this patch set is to enable users to perceive the number
of any pages merged by KSM, regardless of whether use_zero_page switch has
been turned on, so that users can know how much free memory increase is
really due to their madvise(MERGEABLE) actions. But the problem is, when
enabling use_zero_pages, all empty pages will be merged with kernel zero
pages instead of with each other as use_zero_pages is disabled, and then
these zero-pages are no longer monitored by KSM.

The motivations to do this is seen at:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/202302100915227721315@zte.com.cn/

In one word, we hope to implement the support for KSM-placed zero pages
tracking without affecting the feature of use_zero_pages, so that app
developer can also benefit from knowing the actual KSM profit by getting
KSM-placed zero pages to optimize applications eventually when
/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/use_zero_pages is enabled.

This patch (of 5):

When use_zero_pages of ksm is enabled, madvise(addr, len,
MADV_UNMERGEABLE) and other ways (like write 2 to /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run)
to trigger unsharing will *not* actually unshare the shared zeropage as
placed by KSM (which is against the MADV_UNMERGEABLE documentation). As
these KSM-placed zero pages are out of the control of KSM, the related
counts of ksm pages don't expose how many zero pages are placed by KSM
(these special zero pages are different from those initially mapped zero
pages, because the zero pages mapped to MADV_UNMERGEABLE areas are
expected to be a complete and unshared page).

To not blindly unshare all shared zero_pages in applicable VMAs, the patch
use pte_mkdirty (related with architecture) to mark KSM-placed zero pages.
Thus, MADV_UNMERGEABLE will only unshare those KSM-placed zero pages.

In addition, we'll reuse this mechanism to reliably identify KSM-placed
ZeroPages to properly account for them (e.g., calculating the KSM profit
that includes zeropages) in the latter patches.

The patch will not degrade the performance of use_zero_pages as it doesn't
change the way of merging empty pages in use_zero_pages's feature.

selftests: cgroup: add zswap-memcg unwanted writeback test · d9cfaf40

Domenico Cerasuolo authored Jun 21, 2023

Add a test to verify that when a memcg hits its limit in zswap, it doesn't

selftests: cgroup: add test_zswap program · fe3b1bf1

Domenico Cerasuolo authored Jun 21, 2023

Patch series "selftests: cgroup: add zswap test program".

This series adds 2 zswap related selftests that verify known and fixed
issues.  A new dedicated test program (test_zswap) is proposed since the
test cases are specific to zswap and hosts specific helpers.

The first patch adds the (empty) test program, while the other 2 add an
actual test function each.


This patch (of 3):

Add empty cgroup-zswap self test scaffold program, test functions to be
added in the next commits.

mm/page_alloc: use write_seqlock_irqsave() instead write_seqlock() + local_irq_save(). · a2ebb515

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior authored Jun 23, 2023

__build_all_zonelists() acquires zonelist_update_seq by first disabling
interrupts via local_irq_save() and then acquiring the seqlock with
write_seqlock().  This is troublesome and leads to problems on PREEMPT_RT.
The problem is that the inner spinlock_t becomes a sleeping lock on
PREEMPT_RT and must not be acquired with disabled interrupts.

The API provides write_seqlock_irqsave() which does the right thing in one
step.  printk_deferred_enter() has to be invoked in non-migrate-able
context to ensure that deferred printing is enabled and disabled on the
same CPU.  This is the case after zonelist_update_seq has been acquired.

There was discussion on the first submission that the order should be:
	local_irq_disable();
	printk_deferred_enter();
	write_seqlock();

to avoid pitfalls like having an unaccounted printk() coming from
write_seqlock_irqsave() before printk_deferred_enter() is invoked.  The
only origin of such a printk() can be a lockdep splat because the lockdep
annotation happens after the sequence count is incremented.  This is
exceptional and subject to change.

It was also pointed that PREEMPT_RT can be affected by the printk problem
since its write_seqlock_irqsave() does not really disable interrupts. 
This isn't the case because PREEMPT_RT's printk implementation differs
from the mainline implementation in two important aspects:

- Printing happens in a dedicated threads and not at during the
  invocation of printk().
- In emergency cases where synchronous printing is used, a different
  driver is used which does not use tty_port::lock.

Acquire zonelist_update_seq with write_seqlock_irqsave() and then defer
printk output.

zsmalloc: move migration destination zspage inuse check · 4ce36584

Destination zspage fullness check need to be done after zs_object_copy()
because that's where source and destination zspages fullness change.
Checking destination zspage fullness before zs_object_copy() may cause
migration to loop through source zspage sub-pages scanning for allocate
objects just to find out at the end that the destination zspage is full.

mm/page_alloc: fix min_free_kbytes calculation regarding ZONE_MOVABLE · 416ef04f

liuq authored Jun 25, 2023

The current calculation of min_free_kbytes only uses ZONE_DMA and
ZONE_NORMAL pages,but the ZONE_MOVABLE zone->_watermark[WMARK_MIN] will
also divide part of min_free_kbytes.This will cause the min watermark of
ZONE_NORMAL to be too small in the presence of ZONE_MOVEABLE.

__GFP_HIGH and PF_MEMALLOC allocations usually don't need movable zone
pages, so just like ZONE_HIGHMEM, cap pages_min to a small value in
__setup_per_zone_wmarks().

On my testing machine with 16GB of memory (transparent hugepage is turned
off by default, and movablecore=12G is configured) The following is a
comparative test data of watermark_min

maple_tree: optimize mas_wr_append(), also improve duplicating VMAs · 23e9dde0

Peng Zhang authored Jun 28, 2023

When the new range can be completely covered by the original last range
without touching the boundaries on both sides, two new entries can be
appended to the end as a fast path. We update the original last pivot at
the end, and the newly appended two entries will not be accessed before
this, so it is also safe in RCU mode.

This is useful for sequential insertion, which is what we do in
dup_mmap(). Enabling BENCH_FORK in test_maple_tree and just running
bench_forking() gives the following time-consuming numbers:

before: after:
17,874.83 msec 15,738.38 msec

It shows about a 12% performance improvement for duplicating VMAs.

mm/filemap.c: fix update prev_pos after one read request done · f04d16ee

Haibo Li authored Jun 28, 2023

ra->prev_pos tracks the last visited byte in the previous read request. 
It is used to check whether it is sequential read in ondemand_readahead
and thus affects the readahead window.

After commit 06c04442 ("mm/filemap.c: generic_file_buffered_read() now
uses find_get_pages_contig"), update logic of prev_pos is changed.  It
updates prev_pos after each return from filemap_get_pages().  But the read
request from user may be not fully completed at this point.  The updated
prev_pos impacts the subsequent readahead window.

The real problem is performance drop of fsck_msdos between linux-5.4 and
linux-5.15(also linux-6.4).  Comparing to linux-5.4,It spends about 110%
time and read 140% pages.  The read pattern of fsck_msdos is not fully
sequential.

Simplified read pattern of fsck_msdos likes below:
1.read at page offset 0xa,size 0x1000
2.read at other page offset like 0x20,size 0x1000
3.read at page offset 0xa,size 0x4000
4.read at page offset 0xe,size 0x1000

Here is the read status on linux-6.4:
1.after read at page offset 0xa,size 0x1000
    ->page ofs 0xa go into pagecache
2.after read at page offset 0x20,size 0x1000
    ->page ofs 0x20 go into pagecache
3.read at page offset 0xa,size 0x4000
    ->filemap_get_pages read ofs 0xa from pagecache and returns
    ->prev_pos is updated to 0xb and goto next loop
    ->filemap_get_pages tends to read ofs 0xb,size 0x3000
    ->initial_readahead case in ondemand_readahead since prev_pos is
      the same as request ofs.
    ->read 8 pages while async size is 5 pages
      (PageReadahead flag at page 0xe)
4.read at page offset 0xe,size 0x1000
    ->hit page 0xe with PageReadahead flag set,double the ra_size.
      read 16 pages while async size is 16 pages
Now it reads 24 pages while actually uses 5 pages

on linux-5.4:
1.the same as 6.4
2.the same as 6.4
3.read at page offset 0xa,size 0x4000
    ->read ofs 0xa from pagecache
    ->read ofs 0xb,size 0x3000 using page_cache_sync_readahead
      read 3 pages
    ->prev_pos is updated to 0xd before generic_file_buffered_read
      returns
4.read at page offset 0xe,size 0x1000
    ->initial_readahead case in ondemand_readahead since
      request ofs-prev_pos==1
    ->read 4 pages while async size is 3 pages

Now it reads 7 pages while actually uses 5 pages.

In above demo, the initial_readahead case is triggered by offset of user
request on linux-5.4.  While it may be triggered by update logic of
prev_pos on linux-6.4.

To fix the performance drop, update prev_pos after finishing one read
request.
