      mm, memcg: create mem_cgroup_from_seq · aa9694bb
      Chris Down authored
      This is the start of a series of patches similar to my earlier
      DEFINE_MEMCG_MAX_OR_VAL work, but with less Macro Magic(tm).
      
      There are a bunch of places we go from seq_file to mem_cgroup, which
      currently requires manually getting the css, then getting the mem_cgroup
      from the css.  It's in enough places now that having mem_cgroup_from_seq
      makes sense (and also makes the next patch a bit nicer).

      kernel: cgroup: add poll file operation · dc50537b
      Johannes Weiner authored
      Cgroup has a standardized poll/notification mechanism for waking all
      pollers on all fds when a filesystem node changes.  To allow polling for
      custom events, add a .poll callback that can override the default.
      
      This is in preparation for pollable cgroup pressure files which have
      per-fd trigger configurations.

      fs: kernfs: add poll file operation · 147e1a97
      Johannes Weiner authored
      Patch series "psi: pressure stall monitors", v3.
      
      Android is adopting psi to detect and remedy memory pressure that
      results in stuttering and decreased responsiveness on mobile devices.
      
      Psi gives us the stall information, but because we're dealing with
      latencies in the millisecond range, periodically reading the pressure
      files to detect stalls in a timely fashion is not feasible.  Psi also
      doesn't aggregate its averages at a high enough frequency right now.
      
      This patch series extends the psi interface such that users can
      configure sensitive latency thresholds and use poll() and friends to be
      notified when these are breached.
      
      As high-frequency aggregation is costly, it implements an aggregation
      method that is optimized for fast, short-interval averaging, and makes
      the aggregation frequency adaptive, such that high-frequency updates
      only happen while monitored stall events are actively occurring.
      
      With these patches applied, Android can monitor for, and ward off,
      mounting memory shortages before they cause problems for the user.  For
      example, using memory stall monitors in userspace low memory killer
      daemon (lmkd) we can detect mounting pressure and kill less important
      processes before device becomes visibly sluggish.
      
      In our memory stress testing psi memory monitors produce roughly 10x
      less false positives compared to vmpressure signals.  Having ability to
      specify multiple triggers for the same psi metric allows other parts of
      Android framework to monitor memory state of the device and act
      accordingly.
      
      The new interface is straightforward.  The user opens one of the
      pressure files for writing and writes a trigger description into the
      file descriptor that defines the stall state - some or full, and the
      maximum stall time over a given window of time.  E.g.:
      
              /* Signal when stall time exceeds 100ms of a 1s window */
              char trigger[] = "full 100000 1000000";
              fd = open("/proc/pressure/memory");
              write(fd, trigger, sizeof(trigger));
              while (poll() >= 0) {
                      ...
              }
              close(fd);
      
      When the monitored stall state is entered, psi adapts its aggregation
      frequency according to what the configured time window requires in order
      to emit event signals in a timely fashion.  Once the stalling subsides,
      aggregation reverts back to normal.
      
      The trigger is associated with the open file descriptor.  To stop
      monitoring, the user only needs to close the file descriptor and the
      trigger is discarded.
      
      Patches 1-4 prepare the psi code for polling support.  Patch 5
      implements the adaptive polling logic, the pressure growth detection
      optimized for short intervals, and hooks up write() and poll() on the
      pressure files.
      
      The patches were developed in collaboration with Johannes Weiner.
      
      This patch (of 5):
      
      Kernfs has a standardized poll/notification mechanism for waking all
      pollers on all fds when a filesystem node changes.  To allow polling for
      custom events, add a .poll callback that can override the default.
      
      This is in preparation for pollable cgroup pressure files which have
      per-fd trigger configurations.

      mm, compaction: capture a page under direct compaction · 5e1f0f09
      Mel Gorman authored
      Compaction is inherently race-prone as a suitable page freed during
      compaction can be allocated by any parallel task.  This patch uses a
      capture_control structure to isolate a page immediately when it is freed
      by a direct compactor in the slow path of the page allocator.  The
      intent is to avoid redundant scanning.

      Latency is only moderately affected but the devil is in the details.  A
      closer examination indicates that base page fault latency is reduced but
      latency of huge pages is increased as it takes creater care to succeed.
      Part of the "problem" is that allocation success rates are close to 100%
      even when under pressure and compaction gets harder

      And scan rates are reduced as expected by 6% for the migration scanner
      and 29% for the free scanner indicating that there is less redundant

      mm, compaction: be selective about what pageblocks to clear skip hints · e332f741
      Mel Gorman authored
      Pageblock hints are cleared when compaction restarts or kswapd makes
      enough progress that it can sleep but it's over-eager in that the bit is
      cleared for migration sources with no LRU pages and migration targets
      with no free pages.  As pageblock skip hint flushes are relatively rare
      and out-of-band with respect to kswapd, this patch makes a few more
      expensive checks to see if it's appropriate to even clear the bit.
      Every pageblock that is not cleared will avoid 512 pages being scanned
      unnecessarily on x86-64.
      
      The impact is variable with different workloads showing small
      differences in latency, success rates and scan rates.  This is expected
      as clearing the hints is not that common but doing a small amount of
      work out-of-band to avoid a large amount of work in-band later is
      generally a good thing.

      mm, compaction: sample pageblocks for free pages · 4fca9730
      Mel Gorman authored
      Once fast searching finishes, there is a possibility that the linear
      scanner is scanning full blocks found by the fast scanner earlier.  This
      patch uses an adaptive stride to sample pageblocks for free pages.  The
      more consecutive full pageblocks encountered, the larger the stride
      until a pageblock with free pages is found.  The scanners might meet
      slightly sooner but it is an acceptable risk given that the search of
      the free lists may still encounter the pages and adjust the cached PFN
      of the free scanner accordingly.

      The latency is mildly improved offseting some overhead from earlier

      major impact is on the free scan rate with an 82% reduction.

      It's also the first time in the series where the number of pages scanned
      by the migration scanner is greater than the free scanner due to the
      increased search efficiency.

      mm, compaction: round-robin the order while searching the free lists for a target · dbe2d4e4
      Mel Gorman authored
      As compaction proceeds and creates high-order blocks, the free list
      search gets less efficient as the larger blocks are used as compaction
      targets.  Eventually, the larger blocks will be behind the migration
      scanner for partially migrated pageblocks and the search fails.  This
      patch round-robins what orders are searched so that larger blocks can be
      ignored and find smaller blocks that can be used as migration targets.
      
      The overall impact was small on 1-socket but it avoids corner cases
      where the migration/free scanners meet prematurely or situations where
      many of the pageblocks encountered by the free scanner are almost full
      instead of being properly packed.  Previous testing had indicated that
      without this patch there were occasional large spikes in the free
      scanner without this patch.

      mm, compaction: reduce premature advancement of the migration target scanner · d097a6f6
      Mel Gorman authored
      The fast isolation of free pages allows the cached PFN of the free
      scanner to advance faster than necessary depending on the contents of
      the free list.  The key is that fast_isolate_freepages() can update
      zone->compact_cached_free_pfn via isolate_freepages_block().  When the
      fast search fails, the linear scan can start from a point that has
      skipped valid migration targets, particularly pageblocks with just
      low-order free pages.  This can cause the migration source/target
      scanners to meet prematurely causing a reset.
      
      This patch starts by avoiding an update of the pageblock skip
      information and cached PFN from isolate_freepages_block() and puts the
      responsibility of updating that information in the callers.  The fast
      scanner will update the cached PFN if and only if it finds a block that
      is higher than the existing cached PFN and sets the skip if the
      pageblock is full or nearly full.  The linear scanner will update
      skipped information and the cached PFN only when a block is completely
      scanned.  The total impact is that the free scanner advances more slowly
      as it is primarily driven by the linear scanner instead of the fast
      search.

      The impact to latency is higher than the last version but it appears to
      be due to a slight increase in the free scan rates which is a potential
      side-effect of the patch.  However, this is necessary for later patches
      that are more careful about how pageblocks are treated as earlier
      iterations of those patches hit corner cases where the restarts were
      punishing and very visible.

      mm, compaction: do not consider a need to reschedule as contention · cf66f070
      Mel Gorman authored
      Scanning on large machines can take a considerable length of time and
      eventually need to be rescheduled.  This is treated as an abort event
      but that's not appropriate as the attempt is likely to be retried after
      making numerous checks and taking another cycle through the page
      allocator.  This patch will check the need to reschedule if necessary
      but continue the scanning.
      
      The main benefit is reduced scanning when compaction is taking a long
      time or the machine is over-saturated.  It also avoids an unnecessary
      exit of compaction that ends up being retried by the page allocator in
      the outer loop.

      With incremental changes, compact_should_abort no longer makes any

      associated comments.  There is no benefit other than reducing redundant
      code and making the intent slightly clearer.  It could potentially be
      merged with earlier patches but it just makes the review slightly

      mm, compaction: keep cached migration PFNs synced for unusable pageblocks · 8854c55f
      Mel Gorman authored
      Migrate has separate cached PFNs for ASYNC and SYNC* migration on the
      basis that some migrations will fail in ASYNC mode.  However, if the
      cached PFNs match at the start of scanning and pageblocks are skipped
      due to having no isolation candidates, then the sync state does not
      matter.  This patch keeps matching cached PFNs in sync until a pageblock
      with isolation candidates is found.
      
      The actual benefit is marginal given that the sync scanner following the
      async scanner will often skip a number of pageblocks but it's useless
      work.  Any benefit depends heavily on whether the scanners restarted
      recently.

      mm, compaction: check early for huge pages encountered by the migration scanner · 9bebefd5
      Mel Gorman authored
      When scanning for sources or targets, PageCompound is checked for huge
      pages as they can be skipped quickly but it happens relatively late
      after a lot of setup and checking.  This patch short-cuts the check to
      make it earlier.  It might still change when the lock is acquired but
      this has less overhead overall.  The free scanner advances but the
      migration scanner does not.  Typically the free scanner encounters more
      movable blocks that change state over the lifetime of the system and
      also tends to scan more aggressively as it's actively filling its
      portion of the physical address space with data.  This could change in
      the future but for the moment, this worked better in practice and
      incurred fewer scan restarts.
      
      The impact on latency and allocation success rates is marginal but the
      free scan rates are reduced by 15% and system CPU usage is reduced by
      3.3%.  The 2-socket results are not materially different.

      mm, compaction: finish pageblock scanning on contention · cb2dcaf0
      Mel Gorman authored
      Async migration aborts on spinlock contention but contention can be high
      when there are multiple compaction attempts and kswapd is active.  The
      consequence is that the migration scanners move forward uselessly while
      still contending on locks for longer while leaving suitable migration
      sources behind.
      
      This patch will acquire the lock but track when contention occurs.  When
      it does, the current pageblock will finish as compaction may succeed for
      that block and then abort.  This will have a variable impact on latency
      as in some cases useless scanning is avoided (reduces latency) but a
      lock will be contended (increase latency) or a single contended
      pageblock is scanned that would otherwise have been skipped (increase
      latency).

      mm, compaction: avoid rescanning the same pageblock multiple times · 804d3121
      Mel Gorman authored
      Pageblocks are marked for skip when no pages are isolated after a scan.
      However, it's possible to hit corner cases where the migration scanner
      gets stuck near the boundary between the source and target scanner.  Due
      to pages being migrated in blocks of COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX, pages that are
      migrated can be reallocated before the pageblock is complete.  The
      pageblock is not necessarily skipped so it can be rescanned multiple
      times.  Similarly, a pageblock with some dirty/writeback pages may fail
      to migrate and be rescanned until writeback completes which is wasteful.
      
      This patch tracks if a pageblock is being rescanned.  If so, then the
      entire pageblock will be migrated as one operation.  This narrows the
      race window during which pages can be reallocated during migration.
      Secondly, if there are pages that cannot be isolated then the pageblock
      will still be fully scanned and marked for skipping.  On the second
      rescan, the pageblock skip is set and the migration scanner makes
      progress.

      Negligible difference but this was likely a case when the specific
      corner case was not hit.  A previous run of the same patch based on an
      earlier iteration of the series showed large differences where migration
      rates could be halved when the corner case was hit.
      
      The specific corner case where migration scan rates go through the roof
      was due to a dirty/writeback pageblock located at the boundary of the
      migration/free scanner did not happen in this case.  When it does
      happen, the scan rates multipled by massive margins.

      mm, compaction: use free lists to quickly locate a migration target · 5a811889
      Mel Gorman authored
      Similar to the migration scanner, this patch uses the free lists to
      quickly locate a migration target.  The search is different in that
      lower orders will be searched for a suitable high PFN if necessary but
      the search is still bound.  This is justified on the grounds that the
      free scanner typically scans linearly much more than the migration
      scanner.
      
      If a free page is found, it is isolated and compaction continues if
      enough pages were isolated.  For SYNC* scanning, the full pageblock is
      scanned for any remaining free pages so that is can be marked for
      skipping in the near future.

      mm, compaction: keep migration source private to a single compaction instance · e380bebe
      Mel Gorman authored
      Due to either a fast search of the free list or a linear scan, it is
      possible for multiple compaction instances to pick the same pageblock
      for migration.  This is lucky for one scanner and increased scanning for
      all the others.  It also allows a race between requests on which first
      allocates the resulting free block.
      
      This patch tests and updates the pageblock skip for the migration
      scanner carefully.  When isolating a block, it will check and skip if
      the block is already in use.  Once the zone lock is acquired, it will be
      rechecked so that only one scanner can set the pageblock skip for
      exclusive use.  Any scanner contending will continue with a linear scan.
      The skip bit is still set if no pages can be isolated in a range.  While
      this may result in redundant scanning, it avoids unnecessarily acquiring
      the zone lock when there are no suitable migration sources.

      mm, compaction: use free lists to quickly locate a migration source · 70b44595
      Mel Gorman authored
      The migration scanner is a linear scan of a zone with a potentiall large
      search space.  Furthermore, many pageblocks are unusable such as those
      filled with reserved pages or partially filled with pages that cannot
      migrate.  These still get scanned in the common case of allocating a THP
      and the cost accumulates.
      
      The patch uses a partial search of the free lists to locate a migration
      source candidate that is marked as MOVABLE when allocating a THP.  It
      prefers picking a block with a larger number of free pages already on
      the basis that there are fewer pages to migrate to free the entire
      block.  The lowest PFN found during searches is tracked as the basis of
      the start for the linear search after the first search of the free list
      fails.  After the search, the free list is shuffled so that the next
      search will not encounter the same page.  If the search fails then the
      subsequent searches will be shorter and the linear scanner is used.
      
      If this search fails, or if the request is for a small or
      unmovable/reclaimable allocation then the linear scanner is still used.
      It is somewhat pointless to use the list search in those cases.  Small
      free pages must be used for the search and there is no guarantee that
      movable pages are located within that block that are contiguous.

      mm, compaction: ignore the fragmentation avoidance boost for isolation and compaction · fd1444b2
      Mel Gorman authored
      When pageblocks get fragmented, watermarks are artifically boosted to
      reclaim pages to avoid further fragmentation events.  However,
      compaction is often either fragmentation-neutral or moving movable pages
      away from unmovable/reclaimable pages.  As the true watermarks are
      preserved, allow compaction to ignore the boost factor.
      
      The expected impact is very slight as the main benefit is that
      compaction is slightly more likely to succeed when the system has been
      fragmented very recently.  On both 1-socket and 2-socket machines for
      THP-intensive allocation during fragmentation the success rate was
      increased by less than 1% which is marginal.  However, detailed tracing
      indicated that failure of migration due to a premature ENOMEM triggered
      by watermark checks were eliminated.

      mm, compaction: always finish scanning of a full pageblock · efe771c7
      Mel Gorman authored
      When compaction is finishing, it uses a flag to ensure the pageblock is
      complete but it makes sense to always complete migration of a pageblock.
      Minimally, skip information is based on a pageblock and partially
      scanned pageblocks may incur more scanning in the future.  The pageblock
      skip handling also becomes more strict later in the series and the hint
      is more useful if a complete pageblock was always scanned.
      
      The potentially impacts latency as more scanning is done but it's not a
      consistent win or loss as the scanning is not always a high percentage
      of the pageblock and sometimes it is offset by future reductions in
      scanning.  Hence, the results are not presented this time due to a
      misleading mix of gains/losses without any clear pattern.  However, full
      scanning of the pageblock is important for later patches.

      mm, migrate: immediately fail migration of a page with no migration handler · 806031bb
      Mel Gorman authored
      Pages with no migration handler use a fallback handler which sometimes
      works and sometimes persistently retries.  A historical example was
      blockdev pages but there are others such as odd refcounting when
      page->private is used.  These are retried multiple times which is
      wasteful during compaction so this patch will fail migration faster
      unless the caller specifies MIGRATE_SYNC.
      
      This is not expected to help THP allocation success rates but it did
      reduce latencies very slightly in some cases.

      mm, compaction: remove unnecessary zone parameter in some instances · 40cacbcb

      A zone parameter is passed into a number of top-level compaction
      functions despite the fact that it's already in compact_control.  This
      is harmless but it did need an audit to check if zone actually ever
      changes meaningfully.  This patches removes the parameter in a number of
      top-level functions.  The change could be much deeper but this was
      enough to briefly clarify the flow.

      mm, compaction: remove last_migrated_pfn from compact_control · 566e54e1
      Mel Gorman authored
      The last_migrated_pfn field is a bit dubious as to whether it really
      helps but either way, the information from it can be inferred without
      increasing the size of compact_control so remove the field.

      mm, compaction: rearrange compact_control · c5943b9c
      Mel Gorman authored
      compact_control spans two cache lines with write-intensive lines on
      both.  Rearrange so the most write-intensive fields are in the same
      cache line.  This has a negligible impact on the overall performance of
      compaction and is more a tidying exercise than anything.

      mm, compaction: shrink compact_control · c5fbd937
      Mel Gorman authored
      Patch series "Increase success rates and reduce latency of compaction", v3.
      
      This series reduces scan rates and success rates of compaction,
      primarily by using the free lists to shorten scans, better controlling
      of skip information and whether multiple scanners can target the same
      block and capturing pageblocks before being stolen by parallel requests.
      The series is based on mmotm from January 9th, 2019 with the previous
      compaction series reverted.
      
      I'm mostly using thpscale to measure the impact of the series.  The
      benchmark creates a large file, maps it, faults it, punches holes in the
      mapping so that the virtual address space is fragmented and then tries
      to allocate THP.  It re-executes for different numbers of threads.  From
      a fragmentation perspective, the workload is relatively benign but it
      does stress compaction.
      
      The overall impact on latencies for a 1-socket machine is

      That's a nearly perfect allocation success rate.

      Compaction free scanned      474739990    11903963
      
      The number of pages scanned for migration was reduced by 65% and the
      free scanner was reduced by 97.5%.  So much less work in exchange for
      lower latency and better success rates.
      
      The series was also evaluated using a workload that heavily fragments
      memory but the benefits there are also significant, albeit not
      presented.
      
      It was commented that we should be rethinking scanning entirely and to a
      large extent I agree.  However, to achieve that you need a lot of this
      series in place first so it's best to make the linear scanners as best
      as possible before ripping them out.
      
      This patch (of 22):
      
      The isolate and migrate scanners should never isolate more than a
      pageblock of pages so unsigned int is sufficient saving 8 bytes on a
      64-bit build.

      mm: shuffle GFP_* flags · d71e53ce
      Alexey Dobriyan authored
      GFP_KERNEL is one of the most used constant but on archs like arm with
      fixed length instruction some constants are more equal than the others.
      Constants with tightly packed bits can be injected directly into
      instruction stream:
      
      	   0:   e3a00d33        mov     r0, #3264       ; 0xcc0
      
      Others require multiple instructions or even loading out of instruction
      stream:
      
      	   0:   e3a000c0        mov     r0, #192        ; 0xc0
      	   4:   e3400060        movt    r0, #96		; 0x60
      
      Shuffle GFP_* flags so that GFP_KERNEL/GFP_ATOMIC + __GFP_ZERO bits are
      close to each other.
      
      Savings on arm configs are ~0.1%.

      mm: swap: check if swap backing device is congested or not · 8fd2e0b5
      Yang Shi authored
      Swap readahead would read in a few pages regardless if the underlying
      device is busy or not.  It may incur long waiting time if the device is
      congested, and it may also exacerbate the congestion.
      
      Use inode_read_congested() to check if the underlying device is busy or
      not like what file page readahead does.  Get inode from
      swap_info_struct.
      
      Although we can add inode information in swap_address_space
      (address_space->host), it may lead some unexpected side effect, i.e.  it
      may break mapping_cap_account_dirty().  Using inode from
      swap_info_struct seems simple and good enough.
      
      Just does the check in vma_cluster_readahead() since
      swap_vma_readahead() is just used for non-rotational device which much
      less likely has congestion than traditional HDD.
      
      Although swap slots may be consecutive on swap partition, it still may
      be fragmented on swap file.  This check would help to reduce excessive
      stall for such case.
      
      The test with page_fault1 of will-it-scale (sometimes tracing may just
      show runtest.py that is the wrapper script of page_fault1), which
      basically launches NR_CPU threads to generate 128MB anonymous pages for
      each thread, on my virtual machine with congested HDD shows long tail
      latency is reduced significantly.

      After we establish a reference on the page, we check the pointer
      continues to be in the correct position in i_pages.  Checking
      page->index afterwards is unnecessary; if it were to change, then the
      pointer to it from the page cache would also move.  The check used to be
      done before grabbing a reference on the page which was racy (see commit
      9cbb4cb2 ("mm: find_get_pages_contig fixlet")), but nobody noticed
      that moving the check after grabbing the reference was redundant.

      mm/memcontrol.c: use struct_size() in kmalloc() · 67b8046f
      Gustavo A. R. Silva authored
      One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
      the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
      with memory for some number of elements for that array.  For example:
      
        struct foo {
            int stuff;
            void *entry[];
        };
      
        instance = kmalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL);
      
      Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
      now use the new struct_size() helper:
      
        instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);
      
      This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

      mm: remove extra drain pages on pcp list · c52e7593
      Wei Yang authored
      In the current implementation, there are two places to isolate a range
      of page: __offline_pages() and alloc_contig_range().  During this
      procedure, it will drain pages on pcp list.
      
      Below is a brief call flow:
      
        __offline_pages()/alloc_contig_range()
            start_isolate_page_range()
                set_migratetype_isolate()
                    drain_all_pages()
            drain_all_pages()                 <--- A
      
      This snippet shows the current logic is isolate and drain pcp list for
      each pageblock and drain pcp list again for the whole range.
      
      start_isolate_page_range is responsible for isolating the given pfn
      range.  One part of that job is to make sure that also pages that are on
      the allocator pcp lists are properly isolated.  Otherwise they could be
      reused and the range wouldn't be completely isolated until the memory is
      freed back.  While there is no strict guarantee here because pages might
      get allocated at any time before drain_all_pages is called there doesn't
      seem to be any strong demand for such a guarantee.
      
      In any case, draining is already done at the isolation level and there
      is no need to do it again later by start_isolate_page_range callers
      (memory hotplug and CMA allocator currently).  Therefore remove
      pointless draining in existing callers to make the code more clear and
      functionally correct.

      arm64/mm: enable HugeTLB migration for contiguous bit HugeTLB pages · 5480280d
      Anshuman Khandual authored
      Let arm64 subscribe to the previously added framework in which
      architecture can inform whether a given huge page size is supported for
      migration.  This just overrides the default function
      arch_hugetlb_migration_supported() and enables migration for all
      possible HugeTLB page sizes on arm64.
      
      With this, HugeTLB migration support on arm64 now covers all possible
      HugeTLB options.

      Let arm64 subscribe to generic HugeTLB page migration framework.  Right
      now this only works on the following PMD and PUD level HugeTLB page

      mm/hugetlb: enable arch specific huge page size support for migration · e693de18
      Anshuman Khandual authored
      Architectures like arm64 have HugeTLB page sizes which are different
      than generic sizes at PMD, PUD, PGD level and implemented via contiguous
      bits.  At present these special size HugeTLB pages cannot be identified
      through macros like (PMD|PUD|PGDIR)_SHIFT and hence chosen not be
      migrated.
      
      Enabling migration support for these special HugeTLB page sizes along
      with the generic ones (PMD|PUD|PGD) would require identifying all of
      them on a given platform.  A platform specific hook can precisely
      enumerate all huge page sizes supported for migration.  Instead of
      comparing against standard huge page orders let
      hugetlb_migration_support() function call a platform hook
      arch_hugetlb_migration_support().  Default definition for the platform
      hook maintains existing semantics which checks standard huge page order.
      But an architecture can choose to override the default and provide
      support for a comprehensive set of huge page sizes.

      Anshuman Khandual authored
      Architectures like arm64 have PUD level HugeTLB pages for certain configs
      (1GB huge page is PUD based on ARM64_4K_PAGES base page size) that can
      be enabled for migration.  It can be achieved through checking for
      PUD_SHIFT order based HugeTLB pages during migration.

      mm/hugetlb: distinguish between migratability and movability · 7ed2c31d
      Anshuman Khandual authored
      Patch series "arm64/mm: Enable HugeTLB migration", v4.
      
      This patch series enables HugeTLB migration support for all supported
      huge page sizes at all levels including contiguous bit implementation.
      Following HugeTLB migration support matrix has been enabled with this
      patch series.  All permutations have been tested except for the 16GB.
      
                 CONT PTE    PMD    CONT PMD    PUD
                 --------    ---    --------    ---
        4K:         64K     2M         32M     1G
        16K:         2M    32M          1G
        64K:         2M   512M         16G
      
      First the series adds migration support for PUD based huge pages.  It
      then adds a platform specific hook to query an architecture if a given
      huge page size is supported for migration while also providing a default
      fallback option preserving the existing semantics which just checks for
      (PMD|PUD|PGDIR)_SHIFT macros.  The last two patches enables HugeTLB
      migration on arm64 and subscribe to this new platform specific hook by
      defining an override.
      
      The second patch differentiates between movability and migratability
      aspects of huge pages and implements hugepage_movable_supported() which
      can then be used during allocation to decide whether to place the huge
      page in movable zone or not.
      
      This patch (of 5):
      
      During huge page allocation it's migratability is checked to determine
      if it should be placed under movable zones with GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE.
      But the movability aspect of the huge page could depend on other factors
      than just migratability.  Movability in itself is a distinct property
      which should not be tied with migratability alone.
      
      This differentiates these two and implements an enhanced movability check
      which also considers huge page size to determine if it is feasible to be
      placed under a movable zone.  At present it just checks for gigantic pages
      but going forward it can incorporate other enhanced checks.

      mm: remove sysctl_extfrag_handler() · 6b7e5cad
      Matthew Wilcox authored
      sysctl_extfrag_handler() neglects to propagate the return value from
      proc_dointvec_minmax() to its caller.  It's a wrapper that doesn't need
      to exist, so just use proc_dointvec_minmax() directly.

      vmalloc: add test driver to analyse vmalloc allocator · 3f21a6b7
      Uladzislau Rezki (Sony) authored
      This adds a new kernel module for analysis of vmalloc allocator.  It is
      only enabled as a module.  There are two main reasons this module should
      be used for: performance evaluation and stressing of vmalloc subsystem.
      
      It consists of several test cases.  As of now there are 8.  The module
      has five parameters we can specify to change its the behaviour.
      
      1) run_test_mask - set of tests to be run
      
      id: 1,   name: fix_size_alloc_test
      id: 2,   name: full_fit_alloc_test
      id: 4,   name: long_busy_list_alloc_test
      id: 8,   name: random_size_alloc_test
      id: 16,  name: fix_align_alloc_test
      id: 32,  name: random_size_align_alloc_test
      id: 64,  name: align_shift_alloc_test
      id: 128, name: pcpu_alloc_test
      
      By default all tests are in run test mask.  If you want to select some
      specific tests it is possible to pass the mask.  For example for first,
      second and fourth tests we go 11 value.
      
      2) test_repeat_count - how many times each test should be repeated
      By default it is one time per test. It is possible to pass any number.
      As high the value is the test duration gets increased.
      
      3) test_loop_count - internal test loop counter. By default it is set
      to 1000000.
      
      4) single_cpu_test - use one CPU to run the tests
      By default this parameter is set to false. It means that all online
      CPUs execute tests. By setting it to 1, the tests are executed by
      first online CPU only.
      
      5) sequential_test_order - run tests in sequential order
      By default this parameter is set to false. It means that before running
      tests the order is shuffled. It is possible to make it sequential, just
      set it to 1.
      
      Performance analysis:
      In order to evaluate performance of vmalloc allocations, usually it
      makes sense to use only one CPU that runs tests, use sequential order,
      number of repeat tests can be different as well as set of test mask.
      
      For example if we want to run all tests, to use one CPU and repeat each
      test 3 times. Insert the module passing following parameters:
      
      single_cpu_test=1 sequential_test_order=1 test_repeat_count=3
      
      with following output:
      
      <snip>
      Summary: fix_size_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 901177 usec
      Summary: full_fit_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 1039341 usec

      Summary: random_size_alloc_test passed 3: failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 6081992 usec
      Summary: fix_align_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3, loops: 1000000 avg: 2003712 usec
      Summary: random_size_align_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 2895689 usec
      Summary: align_shift_alloc_test passed: 0 failed: 3 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 573 usec
      Summary: pcpu_alloc_test passed: 3 failed: 0 repeat: 3 loops: 1000000 avg: 95802 usec
      All test took CPU0=192945605995 cycles
      <snip>
      
      The align_shift_alloc_test is expected to be failed.
      
      Stressing:
      In order to stress the vmalloc subsystem we run all available test cases
      on all available CPUs simultaneously. In order to prevent constant behaviour
      pattern, the test cases array is shuffled by default to randomize the order
      of test execution.
      
      For example if we want to run all tests(default), use all online CPUs(default)
      with shuffled order(default) and to repeat each test 30 times. The command
      would be like:
      
      modprobe vmalloc_test test_repeat_count=30
      
      Expected results are the system is alive, there are no any BUG_ONs or Kernel
      Panics the tests are completed, no memory leaks.
