Delay accounting already measures the time a task spends in direct reclaim and waiting for swapin, but in low memory situations tasks spend can spend a significant amount of their time waiting on thrashing page cache. This isn't tracked right now. To know the full impact of memory contention on an individual task, measure the delay when waiting for a recently evicted active cache page to read back into memory.

Refaults happen during transitions between workingsets as well as in-place thrashing. Knowing the difference between the two has a range of applications, including measuring the impact of memory shortage on the system performance, as well as the ability to smarter balance pressure between the filesystem cache and the swap-backed workingset. During workingset transitions, inactive cache refaults and pushes out established active cache. When that active cache isn't stale, however, and also ends up refaulting, that's bonafide thrashing. Introduce a new page flag that tells on eviction whether the page has been active or not in its lifetime. This bit is then stored in the shadow entry, to classify refaults as transitioning or thrashing. How many page->flags does this leave us with on 32-bit? 20 bits are always page flags 21 if you have an MMU 23 with the zone bits for DMA, Normal, HighMem, Movable 29 with the sparsemem section bits 30 if PAE is enabled 31 with this patch. So on 32-bit PAE, that leaves 1 bit for distinguishing two NUMA nodes. If that's not enough, the system can switch to discontigmem and re-gain the 6 or 7 sparsemem section bits.

Patch series "psi: pressure stall information for CPU, memory, and IO", v4. Overview PSI reports the overall wallclock time in which the tasks in a system (or cgroup) wait for (contended) hardware resources. This helps users understand the resource pressure their workloads are under, which allows them to rootcause and fix throughput and latency problems caused by overcommitting, underprovisioning, suboptimal job placement in a grid; as well as anticipate major disruptions like OOM. Real-world applications We're using the data collected by PSI (and its previous incarnation, memdelay) quite extensively at Facebook, and with several success stories. One usecase is avoiding OOM hangs/livelocks. The reason these happen is because the OOM killer is triggered by reclaim not being able to free pages, but with fast flash devices there is *always* some clean and uptodate cache to reclaim; the OOM killer never kicks in, even as tasks spend 90% of the time thrashing the cache pages of their own executables. There is no situation where this ever makes sense in practice. We wrote a <100 line POC python script to monitor memory pressure and kill stuff way before such pathological thrashing leads to full system losses that would require forcible hard resets. We've since extended and deployed this code into other places to guarantee latency and throughput SLAs, since they're usually violated way before the kernel OOM killer would ever kick in. It is available here: https://github.com/facebookincubator/oomd Eventually we probably want to trigger the in-kernel OOM killer based on extreme sustained pressure as well, so that Linux can avoid memory livelocks - which technically aren't deadlocks, but to the user indistinguishable from them - out of the box. We'd continue using OOMD as the first line of defense to ensure workload health and implement complex kill policies that are beyond the scope of the kernel. We also use PSI memory pressure for loadshedding. Our batch job infrastructure used to use heuristics based on various VM stats to anticipate OOM situations, with lackluster success. We switched it to PSI and managed to anticipate and avoid OOM kills and lockups fairly reliably. The reduction of OOM outages in the worker pool raised the pool's aggregate productivity, and we were able to switch that service to smaller machines. Lastly, we use cgroups to isolate a machine's main workload from maintenance crap like package upgrades, logging, configuration, as well as to prevent multiple workloads on a machine from stepping on each others' toes. We were not able to configure this properly without the pressure metrics; we would see latency or bandwidth drops, but it would often be hard to impossible to rootcause it post-mortem. We now log and graph pressure for the containers in our fleet and can trivially link latency spikes and throughput drops to shortages of specific resources after the fact, and fix the job config/scheduling. PSI has also received testing, feedback, and feature requests from Android and EndlessOS for the purpose of low-latency OOM killing, to intervene in pressure situations before the UI starts hanging. How do you use this feature? A kernel with CONFIG_PSI=y will create a /proc/pressure directory with 3 files: cpu, memory, and io. If using cgroup2, cgroups will also have cpu.pressure, memory.pressure and io.pressure files, which simply aggregate task stalls at the cgroup level instead of system-wide. The cpu file contains one line: some avg10=2.04 avg60=0.75 avg300=0.40 total=157656722 The averages give the percentage of walltime in which one or more tasks are delayed on the runqueue while another task has the CPU. They're recent averages over 10s, 1m, 5m windows, so you can tell short term trends from long term ones, similarly to the load average. The total= value gives the absolute stall time in microseconds. This allows detecting latency spikes that might be too short to sway the running averages. It also allows custom time averaging in case the 10s/1m/5m windows aren't adequate for the usecase (or are too coarse with future hardware). What to make of this "some" metric? If CPU utilization is at 100% and CPU pressure is 0, it means the system is perfectly utilized, with one runnable thread per CPU and nobody waiting. At two or more runnable tasks per CPU, the system is 100% overcommitted and the pressure average will indicate as much. From a utilization perspective this is a great state of course: no CPU cycles are being wasted, even when 50% of the threads were to go idle (as most workloads do vary). From the perspective of the individual job it's not great, however, and they would do better with more resources. Depending on what your priority and options are, raised "some" numbers may or may not require action. The memory file contains two lines: some avg10=70.24 avg60=68.52 avg300=69.91 total=3559632828 full avg10=57.59 avg60=58.06 avg300=60.38 total=3300487258 The some line is the same as for cpu, the time in which at least one task is stalled on the resource. In the case of memory, this includes waiting on swap-in, page cache refaults and page reclaim. The full line, however, indicates time in which *nobody* is using the CPU productively due to pressure: all non-idle tasks are waiting for memory in one form or another. Significant time spent in there is a good trigger for killing things, moving jobs to other machines, or dropping incoming requests, since neither the jobs nor the machine overall are making too much headway. The io file is similar to memory. Because the block layer doesn't have a concept of hardware contention right now (how much longer is my IO request taking due to other tasks?), it reports CPU potential lost on all IO delays, not just the potential lost due to competition. FAQ Q: How is PSI's CPU component different from the load average? A: There are several quirks in the load average that make it hard to impossible to tell how overcommitted the CPU really is. 1. The load average is reported as a raw number of active tasks. You need to know how many CPUs there are in the system, how many CPUs the workload is allowed to use, then think about what the proportion between load and the number of CPUs mean for the tasks trying to run. PSI reports the percentage of wallclock time in which tasks are waiting for a CPU to run on. It doesn't matter how many CPUs are present or usable. The number always tells the quality of life of tasks in the system or in a particular cgroup. 2. The shortest averaging window is 1m, which is extremely coarse, and it's sampled in 5s intervals. A *lot* can happen on a CPU in 5 seconds. This *may* be able to identify persistent long-term trends and very clear and obvious overloads, but it's unusable for latency spikes and more subtle overutilization. PSI's shortest window is 10s. It also exports the cumulative stall times (in microseconds) of synchronously recorded events. 3. On Linux, the load average for historical reasons includes all TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE tasks. This gives a broader sense of how busy the system is, but on the flipside it doesn't distinguish whether tasks are likely to contend over the CPU or IO - which obviously requires very different interventions from a sys admin or a job scheduler. PSI reports independent metrics for CPU and IO. You can tell which resource is making the tasks wait, but in conjunction still see how overloaded the system is overall. Q: What's the cost / performance impact of this feature? A: PSI's primary cost is in the scheduler, in particular task wakeups and sleeps. I benchmarked this code using Facebook's two most scheduling sensitive workloads: memcache and webserver. They handle a ton of small requests - lots of wakeups and sleeps with little actual work in between - so they tend to be canaries for scheduler regressions. In the tests, the boxes were handling live traffic over the course of several hours. Half the machines, the control, ran with CONFIG_PSI=n. For memcache I used eight machines total. They're 2-socket, 14 core, 56 thread boxes. The test runs for half the test period, flips the test and control kernels on the hardware to rule out HW factors, DC location etc., then runs the other half of the test. For the webservers, I used 32 machines total. They're single socket, 16 core, 32 thread machines. During the memcache test, CPU load was nopsi=78.05% psi=78.98% in the first half and nopsi=77.52% psi=78.25%, so PSI added between 0.7 and 0.9 percentage points to the CPU load, a difference of about 1%. UPDATE: I re-ran this test with the v3 version of this patch set and the CPU utilization was equivalent between test and control. UPDATE: v4 is on par with v3. As far as end-to-end request latency from the client perspective goes, we don't sample those finely enough to capture the requests going to those particular machines during the test, but we know the p50 turnaround time in this workload is 54us, and perf bench sched pipe on those machines show nopsi=5.232666 us/op and psi=5.587347 us/op, so this doesn't add much here either. The profile for the pipe benchmark shows: 0.87% sched-pipe [kernel.vmlinux] [k] psi_group_change 0.83% perf.real [kernel.vmlinux] [k] psi_group_change 0.82% perf.real [kernel.vmlinux] [k] psi_task_change 0.58% sched-pipe [kernel.vmlinux] [k] psi_task_change The webserver load is running inside 4 nested cgroup levels. The CPU load with both nopsi and psi kernels was indistinguishable at 81%. For comparison, we had to disable the cgroup cpu controller on the webservers because it added 4 percentage points to the CPU% during this same exact test. Versions of this accounting code now run on 80% of our fleet. None of our workloads have reported regressions during the rollout.

Nicely : done! This patch (of 9): If we keep just enough refault information to match the *current* page cache during reclaim time, we could lose a lot of events when there is only a temporary spike in non-cache memory consumption that pushes out all the cache. Once cache comes back, we won't see those refaults. They might not be actionable for LRU aging, but we want to know about them for measuring memory pressure.

Kmalloc cache names can get quite long for large object sizes, when the sizes are expressed in bytes. Use 'k' and 'M' prefixes to make the names as short as possible e.g. in /proc/slabinfo. This works, as we mostly use power-of-two sizes, with exceptions only below 1k. Example: 'kmalloc-4194304' becomes 'kmalloc-4M' Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180731090649.16028-7-vbabka@suse.czSuggested-by:

The vmstat NR_KERNEL_MISC_RECLAIMABLE counter is for kernel non-slab allocations that can be reclaimed via shrinker. In /proc/meminfo, we can show the sum of all reclaimable kernel allocations (including slab) as "KReclaimable". Add the same counter also to per-node meminfo under /sys With this counter, users will have more complete information about kernel memory usage. Non-slab reclaimable pages (currently just the ION allocator) will not be missing from /proc/meminfo, making users wonder where part of their memory went. More precisely, they already appear in MemAvailable, but without the new counter, it's not obvious why the value in MemAvailable doesn't fully correspond with the sum of other counters participating in it.

The vmstat counter NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES was introduced by commit eb592546 ("mm: introduce NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES") with the goal of accounting objects that can be reclaimed, but cannot be allocated via a SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT cache. This is now possible via kmalloc() with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE flag, and the dcache external names user is converted. The counter is however still useful for accounting direct page allocations (i.e. not slab) with a shrinker, such as the ION page pool. So keep it, and: - change granularity to pages to be more like other counters; sub-page allocations should be able to use kmalloc - rename the counter to NR_KERNEL_MISC_RECLAIMABLE - expose the counter again in vmstat as "nr_kernel_misc_reclaimable"; we can again remove the check for not printing "hidden" counters Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180731090649.16028-5-vbabka@suse.czSigned-off-by:

We can use the newly introduced kmalloc-reclaimable-X caches, to allocate external names in dcache, which will take care of the proper accounting automatically, and also improve anti-fragmentation page grouping. This effectively reverts commit f1782c9b ("dcache: account external names as indirectly reclaimable memory") and instead passes __GFP_RECLAIMABLE to kmalloc(). The accounting thus moves from NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES to NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE, which is also considered in MemAvailable calculation and overcommit decisions.

Kmem caches can be created with a SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT flag, which indicates they contain objects which can be reclaimed under memory pressure (typically through a shrinker). This makes the slab pages accounted as NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE in vmstat, which is reflected also the MemAvailable meminfo counter and in overcommit decisions. The slab pages are also allocated with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE, which is good for anti-fragmentation through grouping pages by mobility. The generic kmalloc-X caches are created without this flag, but sometimes are used also for objects that can be reclaimed, which due to varying size cannot have a dedicated kmem cache with SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT flag. A prominent example are dcache external names, which prompted the creation of a new, manually managed vmstat counter NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES in commit f1782c9b ("dcache: account external names as indirectly reclaimable memory"). To better handle this and any other similar cases, this patch introduces SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT variants of kmalloc caches, named kmalloc-rcl-X. They are used whenever the kmalloc() call passes __GFP_RECLAIMABLE among gfp flags. They are added to the kmalloc_caches array as a new type. Allocations with both __GFP_DMA and __GFP_RECLAIMABLE will use a dma type cache. This change only applies to SLAB and SLUB, not SLOB. This is fine, since SLOB's target are tiny system and this patch does add some overhead of kmem management objects. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180731090649.16028-3-vbabka@suse.czSigned-off-by:

Patch series "kmalloc-reclaimable caches", v4. As discussed at LSF/MM [1] here's a patchset that introduces kmalloc-reclaimable caches (more details in the second patch) and uses them for dcache external names. That allows us to repurpose the NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES counter later in the series. With patch 3/6, dcache external names are allocated from kmalloc-rcl-* caches, eliminating the need for manual accounting. More importantly, it also ensures the reclaimable kmalloc allocations are grouped in pages separate from the regular kmalloc allocations. The need for proper accounting of dcache external names has shown it's easy for misbehaving process to allocate lots of them, causing premature OOMs. Without the added grouping, it's likely that a similar workload can interleave the dcache external names allocations with regular kmalloc allocations (note: I haven't searched myself for an example of such regular kmalloc allocation, but I would be very surprised if there wasn't some). A pathological case would be e.g. one 64byte regular allocations with 63 external dcache names in a page (64x64=4096), which means the page is not freed even after reclaiming after all dcache names, and the process can thus "steal" the whole page with single 64byte allocation. If other kmalloc users similar to dcache external names become identified, they can also benefit from the new functionality simply by adding __GFP_RECLAIMABLE to the kmalloc calls. Side benefits of the patchset (that could be also merged separately) include removed branch for detecting __GFP_DMA kmalloc(), and shortening kmalloc cache names in /proc/slabinfo output. The latter is potentially an ABI break in case there are tools parsing the names and expecting the values to be in bytes. This is how /proc/slabinfo looks like after booting in virtme: ... kmalloc-rcl-4M 0 0 4194304 1 1024 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0 ... kmalloc-rcl-96 7 32 128 32 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 1 1 0 kmalloc-rcl-64 25 128 64 64 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 2 2 0 kmalloc-rcl-32 0 0 32 124 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 0 0 0 kmalloc-4M 0 0 4194304 1 1024 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0 kmalloc-2M 0 0 2097152 1 512 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0 kmalloc-1M 0 0 1048576 1 256 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0 ... /proc/vmstat with renamed nr_indirectly_reclaimable_bytes counter: ... nr_slab_reclaimable 2817 nr_slab_unreclaimable 1781 ... nr_kernel_misc_reclaimable 0 ... /proc/meminfo with new KReclaimable counter: ...

This patch (of 6): The kmalloc caches currently mainain separate (optional) array kmalloc_dma_caches for __GFP_DMA allocations. There are tests for __GFP_DMA in the allocation hotpaths. We can avoid the branches by combining kmalloc_caches and kmalloc_dma_caches into a single two-dimensional array where the outer dimension is cache "type". This will also allow to add kmalloc-reclaimable caches as a third type. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180731090649.16028-2-vbabka@suse.czSigned-off-by:

get_mempolicy(MPOL_F_NODE|MPOL_F_ADDR) called a get_user_pages that would not be waiting for userfaults before failing and it would hit on a SIGBUS instead. Using get_user_pages_locked/unlocked instead will allow get_mempolicy to allow userfaults to resolve the fault and fill the hole, before grabbing the node id of the page. If the user calls get_mempolicy() with MPOL_F_ADDR | MPOL_F_NODE for an address inside an area managed by uffd and there is no page at that address, the page allocation from within get_mempolicy() will fail because get_user_pages() does not allow for page fault retry required for uffd; the user will get SIGBUS. With this patch, the page fault will be resolved by the uffd and the get_mempolicy() will continue normally. Background: Via code review, previously the syscall would have returned -EFAULT (vm_fault_to_errno), now it will block and wait for an userfault (if it's waken before the fault is resolved it'll still -EFAULT). This way get_mempolicy will give a chance to an "unaware" app to be compliant with userfaults. The reason this visible change is that becoming "userfault compliant" cannot regress anything: all other syscalls including read(2)/write(2) had to become "userfault compliant" long time ago (that's one of the things userfaultfd can do that PROT_NONE and trapping segfaults can't). So this is just one more syscall that become "userfault compliant" like all other major ones already were. This has been happening on virtio-bridge dpdk process which just called get_mempolicy on the guest space post live migration, but before the memory had a chance to be migrated to destination. I didn't run an strace to be able to show the -EFAULT going away, but I've the confirmation of the below debug aid information (only visible with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y) going away with the patch: [20116.371461] FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY missing 0 [20116.371464] CPU: 1 PID: 13381 Comm: vhost-events Not tainted 4.17.12-200.fc28.x86_64 #1 [20116.371465] Hardware name: LENOVO 20FAS2BN0A/20FAS2BN0A, BIOS N1CET54W (1.22 ) 02/10/2017 [20116.371466] Call Trace: [20116.371473] dump_stack+0x5c/0x80 [20116.371476] handle_userfault.cold.37+0x1b/0x22 [20116.371479] ? remove_wait_queue+0x20/0x60 [20116.371481] ? poll_freewait+0x45/0xa0 [20116.371483] ? do_sys_poll+0x31c/0x520 [20116.371485] ? radix_tree_lookup_slot+0x1e/0x50 [20116.371488] shmem_getpage_gfp+0xce7/0xe50 [20116.371491] ? page_add_file_rmap+0x1a/0x2c0 [20116.371493] shmem_fault+0x78/0x1e0 [20116.371495] ? filemap_map_pages+0x3a1/0x450 [20116.371498] __do_fault+0x1f/0xc0 [20116.371500] __handle_mm_fault+0xe2e/0x12f0 [20116.371502] handle_mm_fault+0xda/0x200 [20116.371504] __get_user_pages+0x238/0x790 [20116.371506] get_user_pages+0x3e/0x50 [20116.371510] kernel_get_mempolicy+0x40b/0x700 [20116.371512] ? vfs_write+0x170/0x1a0 [20116.371515] __x64_sys_get_mempolicy+0x21/0x30 [20116.371517] do_syscall_64+0x5b/0x160 [20116.371520] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 The above harmless debug message (not a kernel crash, just a dump_stack()) is shown with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y to more quickly identify and improve kernel spots that may have to become "userfaultfd compliant" like this one (without having to run an strace and search for syscall misbehavior). Spots like the above are more closer to a kernel bug for the non-cooperative usages that Mike focuses on, than for for dpdk qemu-cooperative usages that reproduced it, but it's still nicer to get this fixed for dpdk too. The part of the patch that caused me to think is only the implementation issue of mpol_get, but it looks like it should work safe no matter the kind of mempolicy structure that is (the default static policy also starts at 1 so it'll go to 2 and back to 1 without crashing everything at 0).

Replace bootmem allocator with memblock and enable use of NO_BOOTMEM like on most other architectures. Alpha gets the description of the physical memory from the firmware as an array of memory clusters. Each cluster that is not reserved by the firmware is added to memblock.memory. Once the memblock.memory is set up, we reserve the kernel and initrd pages with memblock reserve. Since we don't need the bootmem bitmap anymore, the code that finds an appropriate place is removed. The conversion does not take care of NUMA support which is marked broken for more than 10 years now.

The unicore32 architecture already supports memblock and uses it for some early memory reservations, e.g initrd and the page tables. At some point unicore32 allocates the bootmem bitmap from the memblock and then hands over the memory reservations from memblock to bootmem. This patch removes the bootmem initialization and leaves memblock as the only boot time memory manager for unicore32.

Memory region size is rounded down to page boundary and with sub-page region it becomes 0 and there is no point to add an empty region. Moreover, when the base is less than PAGE_SIZE we get a bogus size as (base + size - 1) evaluates to -1. 8cccffc5 ("of: check for size < 0 after rounding in early_init_dt_add_memory_arch") introduced a test for wrap around for the case when base is not page aligned, the same test can be used to ignore sub-page region sizes.

check_for_memory() looks a bit confusing. First of all, we have this: if (N_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY) return; Checking the ENUM declaration, looks like N_MEMORY canot be equal to N_NORMAL_MEMORY. I could not find where N_MEMORY is set to N_NORMAL_MEMORY, or the other way around either, so unless I am missing something, this condition will never evaluate to true. It makes sense to get rid of it. Moving forward, the operations within the loop look a bit confusing as well. We set N_HIGH_MEMORY unconditionally, and then we set N_NORMAL_MEMORY in case we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM (N_NORMAL_MEMORY != N_HIGH_MEMORY) and zone <= ZONE_NORMAL. (N_HIGH_MEMORY falls back to N_NORMAL_MEMORY on !CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems, and that is why we can just go ahead and set N_HIGH_MEMORY unconditionally) Although this works, it is a bit subtle. I think that this could be easier to follow: First, we should only set N_HIGH_MEMORY in case we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM. And then we should set N_NORMAL_MEMORY in case zone <= ZONE_NORMAL, without further checking whether we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM or not.

si->swap_map[] of the swap entries in cluster needs to be cleared during freeing. Previously, this is done in the caller of swap_free_cluster(). This may cause code duplication (one user now, will add more users later) and lock/unlock cluster unnecessarily. In this patch, the clearing code is moved to swap_free_cluster() to avoid the downside. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180827075535.17406-4-ying.huang@intel.comSigned-off-by:

This is a code cleanup patch without functionality change. Originally, when __swap_entry_free() is called, and its return value is 0, free_swap_slot() will always be called to free the swap entry to the per-CPU pool. So move the call to free_swap_slot() to __swap_entry_free() to simplify the code. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180827075535.17406-3-ying.huang@intel.comSigned-off-by:

The code path to reclaim the swap entry in free_swap_and_cache() is almost same as that of __try_to_reclaim_swap(). The largest difference is just coding style. So the support to the additional requirement of free_swap_and_cache() is added into __try_to_reclaim_swap(). free_swap_and_cache() is changed to call __try_to_reclaim_swap(), and delete the duplicated code. This will improve code readability and reduce the potential bugs. There are 2 functionality differences between __try_to_reclaim_swap() and swap entry reclaim code of free_swap_and_cache(). - free_swap_and_cache() only reclaims the swap entry if the page is unmapped or swap is getting full. The support has been added into __try_to_reclaim_swap(). - try_to_free_swap() (called by __try_to_reclaim_swap()) checks pm_suspended_storage(), while free_swap_and_cache() not. I think this is OK. Because the page and the swap entry can be reclaimed later eventually. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180827075535.17406-2-ying.huang@intel.comSigned-off-by:

Currently, kmemleak only prints the number of suspected leaks to dmesg but requires the user to read a debugfs file to get the actual stack traces of the objects' allocation points. Add a module option to print the full object information to dmesg too. It can be enabled with kmemleak.verbose=1 on the kernel command line, or "echo 1 > /sys/module/kmemleak/parameters/verbose": This allows easier integration of kmemleak into test systems: We have automated test infrastructure to test our Linux systems. With this option, running our tests with kmemleak is as simple as enabling kmemleak and passing this command line option; the test infrastructure knows how to save kernel logs, which will now include kmemleak reports. Without this option, the test infrastructure needs to be specifically taught to read out the kmemleak debugfs file. Removing this need for special handling makes kmemleak more similar to other kernel debug options (slab debugging, debug objects, etc).

If invalidate_range_start() is called for !blocking mode then all callbacks have to guarantee they will no block/sleep. The same obviously applies to invalidate_range_end because this operation pairs with the former and they are called from the same context. Make sure this is appropriately documented.

Tetsuo Handa has reported that it is possible to bypass the short sleep for PF_WQ_WORKER threads which was introduced by commit 373ccbe5 ("mm, vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to discover memory reclaim doesn't make any progress") and lock up the system if OOM. The primary reason is that WQ_MEM_RECLAIM WQs are not guaranteed to run even when they have a rescuer available. Those workers might be essential for reclaim to make a forward progress, however. If we are too unlucky all the allocations requests can get stuck waiting for a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM work item and the system is essentially stuck in an OOM condition without much hope to move on. Tetsuo has seen the reclaim stuck on drain_local_pages_wq or xlog_cil_push_work (xfs). There might be others. Since should_reclaim_retry() should be a natural reschedule point, let's do the short sleep for PF_WQ_WORKER threads unconditionally in order to guarantee that other pending work items are started. This will workaround this problem and it is less fragile than hunting down when the sleep is missed. Having a single sleeping point is more robust.

I've noticed, that dying memory cgroups are often pinned in memory by a single pagecache page. Even under moderate memory pressure they sometimes stayed in such state for a long time. That looked strange. My investigation showed that the problem is caused by applying the LRU pressure balancing math: scan = div64_u64(scan * fraction[lru], denominator), where denominator = fraction[anon] + fraction[file] + 1. Because fraction[lru] is always less than denominator, if the initial scan size is 1, the result is always 0. This means the last page is not scanned and has no chances to be reclaimed. Fix this by rounding up the result of the division. In practice this change significantly improves the speed of dying cgroups reclaim.
