Patch series "memory-hotplug.rst: document the "auto-movable" online policy". Now that the memory-hotplug.rst overhaul is upstream, proper documentation for the "auto-movable" online policy, documenting all new toggles and options. Along, two fixes for the original overhaul. This patch (of 3): We really want to refer to the "movable_node" kernel command line parameter here.

The madv_populate selftest currently builds with a warning when the local installed headers (via the distribution) don't include MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE. The warning is correct, because the test cannot locate the necessary header. The reason is that the in-tree installed headers (usr/include) have a "linux" instead of a "sys" subdirectory. Including "linux/mman.h" instead of "sys/mman.h" doesn't work (e.g., mmap() and madvise() are not defined that way). The only thing that seems to work is including "linux/mman.h" in addition to "sys/mman.h". We can get rid of our availability check and simplify.

When truncating pagecache on file THP, the private pages of a process should not be unmapped mapping. This incorrect behavior on a dynamic shared libraries which will cause related processes to happen core dump. A simple test for a DSO (Prerequisite is the DSO mapped in file THP): int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int fd; fd = open(argv[1], O_WRONLY); if (fd < 0) { perror("open"); } close(fd); return 0; } The test only to open a target DSO, and do nothing. But this operation will lead one or more process to happen core dump. This patch mainly to fix this bug.

Patch series "fix two bugs for file THP". This patch (of 2): Transparent huge page has supported read-only non-shmem files. The file- backed THP is collapsed by khugepaged and truncated when written (for shared libraries). However, there is a race when multiple writers truncate the same page cache concurrently. In that case, subpage(s) of file THP can be revealed by find_get_entry in truncate_inode_pages_range, which will trigger PageTail BUG_ON in truncate_inode_page, as follows: page:000000009e420ff2 refcount:1 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x7ff pfn:0x50c3ff head:0000000075ff816d order:9 compound_mapcount:0 compound_pincount:0 flags: 0x37fffe0000010815(locked|uptodate|lru|arch_1|head) raw: 37fffe0000000000 fffffe0013108001 dead000000000122 dead000000000400 raw: 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 00000000ffffffff 0000000000000000 head: 37fffe0000010815 fffffe001066bd48 ffff000404183c20 0000000000000000 head: 0000000000000600 0000000000000000 00000001ffffffff ffff000c0345a000 page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageTail(page)) ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at mm/truncate.c:213!

When executing transhuge-stress with an argument to specify the virtual memory size for testing, the ram size is reported as 0, e.g. transhuge-stress 384 thp-mmap: allocate 192 transhuge pages, using 384 MiB virtual memory and 0 MiB of ram thp-mmap: 0.184 s/loop, 0.957 ms/page, 2090.265 MiB/s 192 succeed, 0 failed This appears to be due to a thinko in commit 0085d61f ("selftests/vm/transhuge-stress: stress test for memory compaction"), where, at a guess, the intent was to base "xyz MiB of ram" on `ram` size.

The memory demotion needs to call migrate_pages() to do the jobs. And it is controlled by a knob, however, the knob doesn't depend on CONFIG_MIGRATION. The knob could be truned on even though MIGRATION is disabled, this will not cause any crash since migrate_pages() would just return -ENOSYS. But it is definitely not optimal to go through demotion path then retry regular swap every time. And it doesn't make too much sense to have the knob visible to the users when !MIGRATION. Move the related code from mempolicy.[h|c] to migrate.[h|c].

In order to remove the need to manually keep three different files in synch, provide a common definition of the mapping between enum migrate_reason, and the associated strings for each enum item. 1. Use the tracing system's mapping of enums to strings, by redefining and reusing the MIGRATE_REASON and supporting macros, and using that to populate the string array in mm/debug.c. 2. Move enum migrate_reason to migrate_mode.h. This is not strictly necessary for this patch, but migrate mode and migrate reason go together, so this will slightly clarify things.

We can specify the number of hugepages to allocate at boot. But the hugepages is balanced in all nodes at present. In some scenarios, we only need hugepages in one node. For example: DPDK needs hugepages which are in the same node as NIC. If DPDK needs four hugepages of 1G size in node1 and system has 16 numa nodes we must reserve 64 hugepages on the kernel cmdline. But only four hugepages are used. The others should be free after boot. If the system memory is low(for example: 64G), it will be an impossible task. So extend the hugepages parameter to support specifying hugepages on a specific node. For example add following parameter: hugepagesz=1G hugepages=0:1,1:3 It will allocate 1 hugepage in node0 and 3 hugepages in node1.

The OOM reaper alters user address space which might theoretically alter the snapshot if reaping is allowed to happen after the freezer quiescent state. To this end, the reaper kthread uses wait_event_freezable() while waiting for any work so that it cannot run while the system freezes. However, the current implementation doesn't respect the freezer because all kernel threads are created with the PF_NOFREEZE flag, so they are automatically excluded from freezing operations. This means that the OOM reaper can race with system snapshotting if it has work to do while the system is being frozen. Fix this by adding a set_freezable() call which will clear the PF_NOFREEZE flag and thus make the OOM reaper visible to the freezer. Please note that the OOM reaper altering the snapshot this way is mostly a theoretical concern and has not been observed in practice.

Patch series "memblock: cleanup memblock_free interface", v2. This is the fix for memblock freeing APIs mismatch [1]. The first patch is a cleanup of numa_distance allocation in arch_numa I've spotted during the conversion. The second patch is a fix for Xen memory freeing on some of the error paths. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wj9k4LZTz+svCxLYs5Y1=+yKrbAUArH1+ghyG3OLd8VVg@mail.gmail.com This patch (of 6): Memory allocation of numa_distance uses memblock_phys_alloc_range() without actual range limits, converts the returned physical address to virtual and then only uses the virtual address for further initialization. Simplify this by replacing memblock_phys_alloc_range() with memblock_alloc().

Patch series "tools/vm/page-types.c: a few improvements". This patchset adds some improvements on tools/vm/page-types.c. Patch 1/3 makes -a option (specify address range) work with -f (file cache mode). Patch 2/3 and 3/3 are to fix minor formatting issues of this tool. These would make life a little easier for the users of this tool. Please see individual patches for more details about specific issues. This patch (of 3): -a|--addr option is used to limit the range of address to be scanned for page status. It works now for physical address space (dafult mode) or for virtual address space (with -p option), but not for file address space (with -f option). So make walk_file() aware of -a option.

When viewing page owner information, we may be more concerned about the total memory rather than the times of stack appears. Therefore, the following adjustments are made: 1. Added the statistics on the total number of pages. 2. Added the optional parameter "-m" to configure the program to sort by memory (total pages). The general output of page_owner is as follows: Page allocated via order XXX, ... PFN XXX ... // Detailed stack Page allocated via order XXX, ... PFN XXX ... // Detailed stack The original page_owner_sort ignores PFN rows, puts the remaining rows in buf, counts the times of buf, and finally sorts them according to the times. General output: XXX times: Page allocated via order XXX, ... // Detailed stack Now, we use regexp to extract the page order value from the buf, and count the total pages for the buf. General output: XXX times, XXX pages: Page allocated via order XXX, ... // Detailed stack By default, it is still sorted by the times of buf; If you want to sort by the pages nums of buf, use the new -m parameter.

Neil Brown raised concerns about callers of reclaim_throttle specifying a timeout value. The original timeout values to congestion_wait() were probably pulled out of thin air or copy&pasted from somewhere else. This patch centralises the timeout values and selects a timeout based on the reason for reclaim throttling. These figures are also pulled out of the same thin air but better values may be derived Running a workload that is throttling for inappropriate periods and tracing mm_vmscan_throttled can be used to pick a more appropriate value. Excessive throttling would pick a lower timeout where as excessive CPU usage in reclaim context would select a larger timeout. Ideally a large value would always be used and the wakeups would occur before a timeout but that requires careful testing.

The page allocator stalls based on the number of pages that are waiting for writeback to start but this should now be redundant. shrink_inactive_list() will wake flusher threads if the LRU tail are unqueued dirty pages so the flusher should be active. If it fails to make progress due to pages under writeback not being completed quickly then it should stall on VMSCAN_THROTTLE_WRITEBACK.

do_writepages throttles on congestion if the writepages() fails due to a lack of memory but congestion_wait() is partially broken as the congestion state is not updated for all BDIs. This patch stalls waiting for a number of pages to complete writeback that located on the local node. The main weakness is that there is no correlation between the location of the inode's pages and locality but that is still better than congestion_wait.

Memcg reclaim throttles on congestion if no reclaim progress is made. This makes little sense, it might be due to writeback or a host of other factors. For !memcg reclaim, it's messy. Direct reclaim primarily is throttled in the page allocator if it is failing to make progress. Kswapd throttles if too many pages are under writeback and marked for immediate reclaim. This patch explicitly throttles if reclaim is failing to make progress.

Page reclaim throttles on congestion if too many parallel reclaim instances have isolated too many pages. This makes no sense, excessive parallelisation has nothing to do with writeback or congestion. This patch creates an additional workqueue to sleep on when too many pages are isolated. The throttled tasks are woken when the number of isolated pages is reduced or a timeout occurs. There may be some false positive wakeups for GFP_NOIO/GFP_NOFS callers but the tasks will throttle again if necessary.

Patch series "Remove dependency on congestion_wait in mm/", v5. This series that removes all calls to congestion_wait in mm/ and deletes wait_iff_congested. It's not a clever implementation but congestion_wait has been broken for a long time [1]. Even if congestion throttling worked, it was never a great idea. While excessive dirty/writeback pages at the tail of the LRU is one possibility that reclaim may be slow, there is also the problem of too many pages being isolated and reclaim failing for other reasons (elevated references, too many pages isolated, excessive LRU contention etc). This series replaces the "congestion" throttling with 3 different types. - If there are too many dirty/writeback pages, sleep until a timeout or enough pages get cleaned - If too many pages are isolated, sleep until enough isolated pages are either reclaimed or put back on the LRU - If no progress is being made, direct reclaim tasks sleep until another task makes progress with acceptable efficiency. This was initially tested with a mix of workloads that used to trigger corner cases that no longer work. A new test case was created called "stutterp" (pagereclaim-stutterp-noreaders in mmtests) using a freshly created XFS filesystem. Note that it may be necessary to increase the timeout of ssh if executing remotely as ssh itself can get throttled and the connection may timeout. stutterp varies the number of "worker" processes from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4 to check the impact as the number of direct reclaimers increase. It has four types of worker. - One "anon latency" worker creates small mappings with mmap() and times how long it takes to fault the mapping reading it 4K at a time - X file writers which is fio randomly writing X files where the total size of the files add up to the allowed dirty_ratio. fio is allowed to run for a warmup period to allow some file-backed pages to accumulate. The duration of the warmup is based on the best-case linear write speed of the storage. - Y file readers which is fio randomly reading small files - Z anon memory hogs which continually map (100-dirty_ratio)% of memory - Total estimated WSS = (100+dirty_ration) percentage of memory X+Y+Z+1 == NR_WORKERS varying from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4 The intent is to maximise the total WSS with a mix of file and anon memory where some anonymous memory must be swapped and there is a high likelihood of dirty/writeback pages reaching the end of the LRU. The test can be configured to have no background readers to stress dirty/writeback pages. The results below are based on having zero readers. The short summary of the results is that the series works and stalls until some event occurs but the timeouts may need adjustment. The test results are not broken down by patch as the series should be treated as one block that replaces a broken throttling mechanism with a working one. Finally, three machines were tested but I'm reporting the worst set of results. The other two machines had much better latencies for example.

In earlier versions of the series, this was lower but a large number of throttling events were reaching their timeout increasing the amount of inefficient scanning of the LRU. There is no prioritisation of reclaim tasks making progress based on each tasks rate of page allocation versus progress of reclaim. The variance is also impacted for high worker counts but in all cases, the differences in latency are not statistically significant due to very large maximum outliers. Max-90 shows that 90% of the stalls are comparable but the Max results show the massive outliers which are increased to to stalling. It is expected that this will be very machine dependant. Due to the test design, reclaim is difficult so allocations stall and there are variances depending on whether THPs can be allocated or not. The amount of memory will affect exactly how bad the corner cases are and how often they trigger. The warmup period calculation is not ideal as it's based on linear writes where as fio is randomly writing multiple files from multiple tasks so the start state of the test is variable. For example, these are the latencies on a single-socket machine that had more memory Amean mmap-4 42.2287 ( 0.00%) 49.6838 * -17.65%* Amean mmap-7 216.4326 ( 0.00%) 47.4451 * 78.08%* Amean mmap-12 2412.0588 ( 0.00%) 51.7497 ( 97.85%) Amean mmap-21 5546.2548 ( 0.00%) 51.8862 ( 99.06%) Amean mmap-30 1085.3121 ( 0.00%) 72.1004 ( 93.36%) The overall system CPU usage and elapsed time is as follows 5.15.0-rc3 5.15.0-rc3 vanilla mm-reclaimcongest-v5r4 Duration User 6989.03 983.42 Duration System 7308.12 799.68 Duration Elapsed 2277.67 2092.98 The patches reduce system CPU usage by 89% as the vanilla kernel is rarely stalling.

The vanilla kernel scans slowly over time where as the patches exhibits burst patterns of scan activity. Direct reclaim scanning is reduced by 52% due to stalling. The pattern for stealing pages is also slightly different. Both kernels exhibit spikes but the vanilla kernel when reclaiming shows pages being reclaimed over a period of time where as the patches tend to reclaim in spikes. The difference is that vanilla is not throttling and instead scanning constantly finding some pages over time where as the patched kernel throttles and reclaims in spikes.

This is very different to kswapd where only a tiny percentage of stalls due to writeback reached the timeout. Bottom line, the throttling appears to work and the wakeup events may limit worst case stalls. There might be some grounds for adjusting timeouts but it's likely futile as the worst-case scenarios depend on the workload, memory size and the speed of the storage. A better approach to improve the series further would be to prioritise tasks based on their rate of allocation with the caveat that it may be very expensive to track. This patch (of 5): Page reclaim throttles on wait_iff_congested under the following conditions: - kswapd is encountering pages under writeback and marked for immediate reclaim implying that pages are cycling through the LRU faster than pages can be cleaned. - Direct reclaim will stall if all dirty pages are backed by congested inodes. wait_iff_congested is almost completely broken with few exceptions. This patch adds a new node-based workqueue and tracks the number of throttled tasks and pages written back since throttling started.

Isolating a free page in an isolated pageblock is expected to always work as watermarks don't apply here. But if __isolate_free_page() failed, due to condition changes, the page will be left on the free list. And the page will be put back to free list again via __putback_isolated_page(). This may trigger VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() on page->flags checking in __free_one_page() if PageReported is set. Or we will corrupt the free list because list_add() will be called for pages already on another list. Add a VM_WARN_ON() to complain about this change.

In start_isolate_page_range() undo path, pfn_to_online_page() just checks the first pfn in a pageblock while __first_valid_page() will traverse the pageblock until the first online pfn is found. So we may miss the call to unset_migratetype_isolate() in undo path and pages will remain isolated unexpectedly. Fix this by calling undo_isolate_page_range() and this will also help to simplify the code further. Note we shouldn't ever trigger it because MAX_ORDER-1 aligned pfn ranges shouldn't contain memory holes now.

Today, we assert that the ioctls the kernel reports as supported for a registration match a precomputed list. We decide which ioctls are supported by examining the memory type. Then, in several locations we "fix up" this list by adding or removing things this initial decision got wrong. What ioctls the kernel reports is actually a function of several things: - The memory type - Kernel feature support (e.g., no writeprotect on aarch64) - The registration type (e.g., CONTINUE only supported for MINOR mode) So, we can't fully compute this at the start, in set_test_type. It varies per test, depending on what registration mode(s) those tests use. Instead, introduce a new function which computes the correct list. This centralizes the add/remove of ioctls depending on these function inputs in one place, so we don't have to repeat ourselves in various tests. Not only is the resulting code a bit shorter, but it fixes a real bug in the existing code: previously, we would incorrectly require the writeprotect ioctl to be present on aarch64, where it isn't actually supported.
