fast_find_migrateblock relies on skip hints to avoid rescanning a recently selected pageblock but compact_zone() only forces the pageblock scan completion to set the skip hint if in direct compaction. While this prevents direct compaction repeatedly scanning a subset of blocks due to fast_find_migrateblock(), it does not prevent proactive compaction, node compaction and kcompactd encountering the same problem described in commit cfccd2e6 ("mm, compaction: finish pageblocks on complete migration failure"). Force the scan completion of a pageblock to set the skip hint if skip hints are obeyed to prevent fast_find_migrateblock() repeatedly selecting a subset of pageblocks.

Patch series "Follow-up "Fix excessive CPU usage during compaction"". The series "Fix excessive CPU usage during compaction" [1] attempted to fix a bug [2] but Vlastimil noted that the fix was incomplete [3]. While the series was merged, fast_find_migrateblock was still disabled. This series should fix the corner cases and allow 95e7a450 ("Revert "mm/compaction: fix set skip in fast_find_migrateblock"") to be safely reverted. Details on how many pageblocks are rescanned are in the changelog of the last patch. "Raghavendra K T" tested this and reported "decent improvement from perf perspective as well as compaction related data [4] [1] https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230125134434.18017-1-mgorman@techsingularity.net [2] https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1206848 [3] https://lore.kernel.org/r/a55cf026-a2f9-ef01-9a4c-398693e048ea@suse.cz [4] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/6d62686f-964d-342c-e085-0eae2555cc54@amd.com This patch (of 4): compact_zone() intends to rescan pageblocks if there is a failure to migrate "within the current order-aligned block". However, the pageblock scan may already be complete and moved to the next block causing the next pageblock to be "rescanned". Ensure only the most recent pageblock is rescanned.

The pagewalk in pagemap_read reads one PTE past the end of the requested range, and stops when the buffer runs out of space. While it produces the right result, the extra read is unnecessary and less performant. I timed the following command before and after this patch: dd count=100000 if=/proc/self/pagemap of=/dev/null The results are consistently within 0.001s across 5 runs.

HugeTLB pages have a struct page optimizations where struct pages for tail pages are freed. However, when HugeTLB pages are destroyed, the memory for struct pages (vmemmap) need to be allocated again. Currently, __GFP_NORETRY flag is used to allocate the memory for vmemmap, but given that this flag makes very little effort to actually reclaim memory the returning of huge pages back to the system can be problem. Lets use __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL instead. This flag is also performs graceful reclaim without causing ooms, but at least it may perform a few retries, and will fail only when there is genuinely little amount of unused memory in the system. Freeing a 1G page requires 16M of free memory. A machine might need to be reconfigured from one task to another, and release a large number of 1G pages back to the system if allocating 16M fails, the release won't work.

Change all the prototypes to match these. Using 'void *' consistently for addresses gets rid of a couple of type casts, so push that down to the leaf functions where possible. This now passes all randconfig builds on arm, arm64 and x86, but I have not tested it on the other architectures that support kasan, since they tend to fail randconfig builds in other ways. This might fail if any of the 32-bit architectures expect a 'long' instead of 'int' for the size argument. The __asan_allocas_unpoison() function prototype is somewhat weird, since it uses a pointer for 'stack_top' and an size_t for 'stack_bottom'. This looks like it is meant to be 'addr' and 'size' like the others, but the implementation clearly treats them as 'top' and 'bottom'.

After recent changes to the retrying and failure counting in migrate_pages_batch(), it was found that it's unnecessary to count retrying and failure for normal, large, and THP folios separately. Because we don't use retrying and failure number of large folios directly. So, in this patch, we simplified retrying and failure counting of large folios via counting retrying and failure of normal and large folios together. This results in the reduced line number. Previously, in migrate_pages_batch we need to track whether the source folio is large/THP before splitting. So is_large is used to cache folio_test_large() result. Now, we don't need that variable any more because we don't count retrying and failure of large folios (only counting that of THP folios). So, in this patch, is_large is removed to simplify the code. This is just code cleanup, no functionality changes are expected. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230510031829.11513-1-ying.huang@intel.comSigned-off-by:

Check the write offset end bounds before using it as the offset into the pivot array. This avoids a possible out-of-bounds access on the pivot array if the write extends to the last slot in the node, in which case the node maximum should be used as the end pivot. akpm: this doesn't affect any current callers, but new users of mapletree may encounter this problem if backported into earlier kernels, so let's fix it in -stable kernels in case of this.

All other instances of gup_huge_pXd() perform the unshare check, so update the PGD-specific function to do so as well. While checking pgd_write() might seem unusual, this function already performs such a check via pgd_access_permitted() so this is in line with the existing implementation. David said: : This change makes unshare handling across all GUP-fast variants : consistent, which is desirable as GUP-fast is complicated enough : already even when consistent. : : This function was the only one I seemed to have missed (or left out and : forgot why -- maybe because it's really dead code for now).

There is currently no good way to query the page cache state of large file sets and directory trees. There is mincore(), but it scales poorly: the kernel writes out a lot of bitmap data that userspace has to aggregate, when the user really doesn not care about per-page information in that case. The user also needs to mmap and unmap each file as it goes along, which can be quite slow as well. Some use cases where this information could come in handy: * Allowing database to decide whether to perform an index scan or direct table queries based on the in-memory cache state of the index. * Visibility into the writeback algorithm, for performance issues diagnostic. * Workload-aware writeback pacing: estimating IO fulfilled by page cache (and IO to be done) within a range of a file, allowing for more frequent syncing when and where there is IO capacity, and batching when there is not. * Computing memory usage of large files/directory trees, analogous to the du tool for disk usage. More information about these use cases could be found in the following thread: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230315170934.GA97793@cmpxchg.org/ This patch implements a new syscall that queries cache state of a file and summarizes the number of cached pages, number of dirty pages, number of pages marked for writeback, number of (recently) evicted pages, etc. in a given range. Currently, the syscall is only wired in for x86 architecture. NAME cachestat - query the page cache statistics of a file. SYNOPSIS #include <sys/mman.h> struct cachestat_range { __u64 off; __u64 len; }; struct cachestat { __u64 nr_cache; __u64 nr_dirty; __u64 nr_writeback; __u64 nr_evicted; __u64 nr_recently_evicted; }; int cachestat(unsigned int fd, struct cachestat_range *cstat_range, struct cachestat *cstat, unsigned int flags); DESCRIPTION cachestat() queries the number of cached pages, number of dirty pages, number of pages marked for writeback, number of evicted pages, number of recently evicted pages, in the bytes range given by `off` and `len`. An evicted page is a page that is previously in the page cache but has been evicted since. A page is recently evicted if its last eviction was recent enough that its reentry to the cache would indicate that it is actively being used by the system, and that there is memory pressure on the system. These values are returned in a cachestat struct, whose address is given by the `cstat` argument. The `off` and `len` arguments must be non-negative integers. If `len` > 0, the queried range is [`off`, `off` + `len`]. If `len` == 0, we will query in the range from `off` to the end of the file. The `flags` argument is unused for now, but is included for future extensibility. User should pass 0 (i.e no flag specified). Currently, hugetlbfs is not supported. Because the status of a page can change after cachestat() checks it but before it returns to the application, the returned values may contain stale information. RETURN VALUE On success, cachestat returns 0. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS EFAULT cstat or cstat_args points to an invalid address. EINVAL invalid flags. EBADF invalid file descriptor. EOPNOTSUPP file descriptor is of a hugetlbfs file [nphamcs@gmail.com: replace rounddown logic with the existing helper] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230504022044.3675469-1-nphamcs@gmail.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230503013608.2431726-3-nphamcs@gmail.comSigned-off-by: -

More information about these use cases could be found in this thread: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230315170934.GA97793@cmpxchg.org/ This series of patches introduces a new system call, cachestat, that summarizes the page cache statistics (number of cached pages, dirty pages, pages marked for writeback, evicted pages etc.) of a file, in a specified range of bytes. It also include a selftest suite that tests some typical usage. Currently, the syscall is only wired in for x86 architecture. This interface is inspired by past discussion and concerns with fincore, which has a similar design (and as a result, issues) as mincore. Relevant links: https://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1302.1/04207.html https://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1302.1/04209.html I have also developed a small tool that computes the memory usage of files and directories, analogous to the du utility. User can choose between mincore or cachestat (with cachestat exporting more information than mincore). To compare the performance of these two options, I benchmarked the tool on the root directory of a Meta's server machine, each for five runs: Using cachestat real -- Median: 33.377s, Average: 33.475s, Standard Deviation: 0.3602 user -- Median: 4.08s, Average: 4.1078s, Standard Deviation: 0.0742 sys -- Median: 28.823s, Average: 28.8866s, Standard Deviation: 0.2689 Using mincore: real -- Median: 102.352s, Average: 102.3442s, Standard Deviation: 0.2059 user -- Median: 10.149s, Average: 10.1482s, Standard Deviation: 0.0162 sys -- Median: 91.186s, Average: 91.2084s, Standard Deviation: 0.2046 I also ran both syscalls on a 2TB sparse file: Using cachestat: real 0m0.009s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.009s Using mincore: real 0m37.510s user 0m2.934s sys 0m34.558s Very large files like this are the pathological case for mincore. In fact, to compute the stats for a single 2TB file, mincore takes as long as cachestat takes to compute the stats for the entire tree! This could easily happen inadvertently when we run it on subdirectories. Mincore is clearly not suitable for a general-purpose command line tool. Regarding security concerns, cachestat() should not pose any additional issues. The caller already has read permission to the file itself (since they need an fd to that file to call cachestat). This means that the caller can access the underlying data in its entirety, which is a much greater source of information (and as a result, a much greater security risk) than the cache status itself. The latest API change (in v13 of the patch series) is suggested by Jens Axboe. It allows for 64-bit length argument, even on 32-bit architecture (which is previously not possible due to the limit on the number of syscall arguments). Furthermore, it eliminates the need for compatibility handling - every user can use the same ABI. This patch (of 4): In preparation for computing recently evicted pages in cachestat, refactor workingset_refault and lru_gen_refault to expose a helper function that would test if an evicted page is recently evicted.

Before commit 29ef680a ("memcg, oom: move out_of_memory back to the charge path"), all memcg oom killers were delayed to page fault path. And the explicit wakeup is used in this case: thread A: ... if (locked) { // complete oom-kill, hold the lock mem_cgroup_oom_unlock(memcg); ... } ... thread B: ... if (locked && !memcg->oom_kill_disable) { ... } else { schedule(); // can't acquire the lock ... } ... The reason is that thread A kicks off the OOM-killer, which leads to wakeups from the uncharges of the exiting task. But thread B is not guaranteed to see them if it enters the OOM path after the OOM kills but before thread A releases the lock. Now only oom_kill_disable case is handled from the #PF path. In that case it is userspace to trigger the wake up not the #PF path itself. All potential paths to free some charges are responsible to call memcg_oom_recover() , so the explicit wakeup is not needed in the mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize() path which doesn't release any memory itself.

mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize() is only used when the memcg oom handling is handed over to the edge of the #PF path. Since commit 29ef680a ("memcg, oom: move out_of_memory back to the charge path") this is the case only when the kernel memcg oom killer is disabled (current->memcg_in_oom is only set if memcg->oom_kill_disable). Therefore a check for oom_kill_disable in mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize() is not required. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230419030739.115845-1-haifeng.xu@shopee.comSigned-off-by:

Currently, we approximate the root usage by adding the memcg stats for anon, file, and conditionally swap (for memsw). To read the memcg stats we need to invoke an rstat flush. rstat flushes can be expensive, they scale with the number of cpus and cgroups on the system. mem_cgroup_usage() is called by memcg_events()->mem_cgroup_threshold() with irqs disabled, so such an expensive operation with irqs disabled can cause problems. Instead, approximate the root usage from global state. This is not 100% accurate, but the root usage has always been ill-defined anyway.

Patch series "cgroup: eliminate atomic rstat flushing", v5. A previous patch series [1] changed most atomic rstat flushing contexts to become non-atomic. This was done to avoid an expensive operation that scales with # cgroups and # cpus to happen with irqs disabled and scheduling not permitted. There were two remaining atomic flushing contexts after that series. This series tries to eliminate them as well, eliminating atomic rstat flushing completely. The two remaining atomic flushing contexts are: (a) wb_over_bg_thresh()->mem_cgroup_wb_stats() (b) mem_cgroup_threshold()->mem_cgroup_usage() For (a), flushing needs to be atomic as wb_writeback() calls wb_over_bg_thresh() with a spinlock held. However, it seems like the call to wb_over_bg_thresh() doesn't need to be protected by that spinlock, so this series proposes a refactoring that moves the call outside the lock criticial section and makes the stats flushing in mem_cgroup_wb_stats() non-atomic. For (b), flushing needs to be atomic as mem_cgroup_threshold() is called with irqs disabled. We only flush the stats when calculating the root usage, as it is approximated as the sum of some memcg stats (file, anon, and optionally swap) instead of the conventional page counter. This series proposes changing this calculation to use the global stats instead, eliminating the need for a memcg stat flush. After these 2 contexts are eliminated, we no longer need mem_cgroup_flush_stats_atomic() or cgroup_rstat_flush_atomic(). We can remove them and simplify the code. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20230330191801.1967435-1-yosryahmed@google.com/ This patch (of 5): wb_over_bg_thresh() calls mem_cgroup_wb_stats() which invokes an rstat flush, which can be expensive on large systems. Currently, wb_writeback() calls wb_over_bg_thresh() within a lock section, so we have to do the rstat flush atomically. On systems with a lot of cpus and/or cgroups, this can cause us to disable irqs for a long time, potentially causing problems. Move the call to wb_over_bg_thresh() outside the lock section in preparation to make the rstat flush in mem_cgroup_wb_stats() non-atomic. The list_empty(&wb->work_list) check should be okay outside the lock section of wb->list_lock as it is protected by a separate lock (wb->work_lock), and wb_over_bg_thresh() doesn't seem like it is modifying any of wb->b_* lists the wb->list_lock is protecting. Also, the loop seems to be already releasing and reacquring the lock, so this refactoring looks safe.

For the /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory file, the admin-guide states: When 1 is written to the file, all zones are compacted such that free memory is available in contiguous blocks where possible. This can be important for example in the allocation of huge pages although processes will also directly compact memory as required But it was not strictly followed, writing any value would cause all zones to be compacted. It has been slightly optimized to comply with the admin-guide. Enforce the 1 on the unlikely chance that the sysctl handler is ever extended to do something different. Commit ef498438 ("mm/compaction: remove unused variable sysctl_compact_memory") has also been optimized a bit here, as the declaration in the external header file has been eliminated, and sysctl_compact_memory also needs to be verified.

Patch series "memcg: OOM log improvements", v2. This short patch series brings back some cgroup v1 stats in OOM logs that were unnecessarily changed before. It also makes memcg OOM logs less reliant on printk() internals. This patch (of 2): Commit c8713d0b ("mm: memcontrol: dump memory.stat during cgroup OOM") made sure we dump all the stats in memory.stat during a cgroup OOM, but it also introduced a slight behavioral change. The code used to print the non-hierarchical v1 cgroup stats for the entire cgroup subtree, now it only prints the v2 cgroup stats for the cgroup under OOM. For cgroup v1 users, this introduces a few problems: (a) The non-hierarchical stats of the memcg under OOM are no longer shown. (b) A couple of v1-only stats (e.g. pgpgin, pgpgout) are no longer shown. (c) We show the list of cgroup v2 stats, even in cgroup v1. This list of stats is not tracked with v1 in mind. While most of the stats seem to be working on v1, there may be some stats that are not fully or correctly tracked. Although OOM log is not set in stone, we should not change it for no reason. When upgrading the kernel version to a version including commit c8713d0b ("mm: memcontrol: dump memory.stat during cgroup OOM"), these behavioral changes are noticed in cgroup v1. The fix is simple. Commit c8713d0b ("mm: memcontrol: dump memory.stat during cgroup OOM") separated stats formatting from stats display for v2, to reuse the stats formatting in the OOM logs. Do the same for v1. Move the v2 specific formatting from memory_stat_format() to memcg_stat_format(), add memcg1_stat_format() for v1, and make memory_stat_format() select between them based on cgroup version. Since memory_stat_show() now works for both v1 & v2, drop memcg_stat_show().

Currently, we format all the memcg stats into a buffer in mem_cgroup_print_oom_meminfo() and use pr_info() to dump it to the logs. However, this buffer is large in size. Although it is currently working as intended, ther is a dependency between the memcg stats buffer and the printk record size limit. If we add more stats in the future and the buffer becomes larger than the printk record size limit, or if the prink record size limit is reduced, the logs may be truncated. It is safer to use seq_buf_do_printk(), which will automatically break up the buffer at line breaks and issue small printk() calls. Refactor the code to move the seq_buf from memory_stat_format() to its callers, and use seq_buf_do_printk() to print the seq_buf in mem_cgroup_print_oom_meminfo().

The MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT mode is intended to block for things that will finish quickly but not for things that will take a long time. Exactly how long is too long is not well defined, but waits of tens of milliseconds is likely non-ideal. When putting a Chromebook under memory pressure (opening over 90 tabs on a 4GB machine) it was fairly easy to see delays waiting for some locks in the kcompactd code path of > 100 ms. While the laptop wasn't amazingly usable in this state, it was still limping along and this state isn't something artificial. Sometimes we simply end up with a lot of memory pressure. Putting the same Chromebook under memory pressure while it was running Android apps (though not stressing them) showed a much worse result (NOTE: this was on a older kernel but the codepaths here are similar). Android apps on ChromeOS currently run from a 128K-block, zlib-compressed, loopback-mounted squashfs disk. If we get a page fault from something backed by the squashfs filesystem we could end up holding a folio lock while reading enough from disk to decompress 128K (and then decompressing it using the somewhat slow zlib algorithms). That reading goes through the ext4 subsystem (because it's a loopback mount) before eventually ending up in the block subsystem. This extra jaunt adds extra overhead. Without much work I could see cases where we ended up blocked on a folio lock for over a second. With more extreme memory pressure I could see up to 25 seconds. We considered adding a timeout in the case of MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT for the two locks that were seen to be slow [1] and that generated much discussion. After discussion, it was decided that we should avoid waiting for the two locks during MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT if they were being held for IO. We'll continue with the unbounded wait for the more full SYNC modes. With this change, I couldn't see any slow waits on these locks with my previous testcases. NOTE: The reason I stated digging into this originally isn't because some benchmark had gone awry, but because we've received in-the-field crash reports where we have a hung task waiting on the page lock (which is the equivalent code path on old kernels). While the root cause of those crashes is likely unrelated and won't be fixed by this patch, analyzing those crash reports did point out these very long waits seemed like something good to fix. With this patch we should no longer hang waiting on these locks, but presumably the system will still be in a bad shape and hang somewhere else.

A memcg pointer in the percpu stock can be accessed by drain_all_stock() from another cpu in a lockless way. In theory it might lead to an issue, similar to the one which has been discovered with stock->cached_objcg, where the pointer was zeroed between the check for being NULL and dereferencing. In this case the issue is unlikely a real problem, but to make it bulletproof and similar to stock->cached_objcg, let's annotate all accesses to stock->cached with READ_ONCE()/WTRITE_ONCE().
