zswap_get_swap_cache_page and read_swap_cache_async have pretty much the same code with only significant difference in return value and usage of swap_readpage. I a helper __read_swap_cache_async() with the common code. Behavior change: now zswap_get_swap_cache_page will use radix_tree_maybe_preload instead radix_tree_preload. Looks like, this wasn't changed only by the reason of code duplication. Signed-off-by:

Make zram syslog error reporting more consistent. We have random error levels in some places. For example, critical errors like "Error allocating memory for compressed page" and "Unable to allocate temp memory" are reported as KERN_INFO messages. a) Reassign error levels Error messages that directly affect zram functionality -- pr_err(): Error allocating zram address table Error creating memory pool Decompression failed! err=%d, page=%u Unable to allocate temp memory Compression failed! err=%d Error allocating memory for compressed page: %u, size=%zu Cannot initialise %s compressing backend Error allocating disk queue for device %d Error allocating disk structure for device %d Error creating sysfs group for device %d Unable to register zram-control class Unable to get major number Messages that do not affect functionality, but user must be warned (because sysfs attrs will be removed in this particular case) -- pr_warn(): %d (%s) Attribute %s (and others) will be removed. %s Messages that do not affect functionality and mostly are informative -- pr_info(): Cannot change max compression streams Can't change algorithm for initialized device Cannot change disksize for initialized device Added device: %s Removed device: %s b) Update sysfs_create_group() error message First, it lacks a trailing new line; add it. Second, every error message in zram_add() has a "for device %d" part, which makes errors more informative. Add missing part to "Error creating sysfs group" message. Signed-off-by:

We can avoid taking class ->lock around zs_can_compact() in zs_shrinker_count(), because the number that we return back is outdated in general case, by design. We have different sources that are able to change class's state right after we return from zs_can_compact() -- ongoing I/O operations, manually triggered compaction, or two of them happening simultaneously. We re-do this calculations during compaction on a per class basis anyway. zs_unregister_shrinker() will not return until we have an active shrinker, so classes won't unexpectedly disappear while zs_shrinker_count() iterates them.

We want to see more ZS_FULL pages and less ZS_ALMOST_{FULL, EMPTY} pages. Put a page with higher ->inuse count first within its ->fullness_list, which will give us better chances to fill up this page with new objects (find_get_zspage() return ->fullness_list head for new object allocation), so some zspages will become ZS_ALMOST_FULL/ZS_FULL quicker. It performs a trivial and cheap ->inuse compare which does not slow down zsmalloc and in the worst case keeps the list pages in no particular order. A more expensive solution could sort fullness_list by ->inuse count. [minchan@kernel.org: code adjustments] Signed-off-by: -

Perform automatic pool compaction by a shrinker when system is getting tight on memory. User-space has a very little knowledge regarding zsmalloc fragmentation and basically has no mechanism to tell whether compaction will result in any memory gain. Another issue is that user space is not always aware of the fact that system is getting tight on memory. Which leads to very uncomfortable scenarios when user space may start issuing compaction 'randomly' or from crontab (for example). Fragmentation is not always necessarily bad, allocated and unused objects, after all, may be filled with the data later, w/o the need of allocating a new zspage. On the other hand, we obviously don't want to waste memory when the system needs it. Compaction now has a relatively quick pool scan so we are able to estimate the number of pages that will be freed easily, which makes it possible to call this function from a shrinker->count_objects() callback. We also abort compaction as soon as we detect that we can't free any pages any more, preventing wasteful objects migrations. Signed-off-by:

Compaction returns back to zram the number of migrated objects, which is quite uninformative -- we have objects of different sizes so user space cannot obtain any valuable data from that number. Change compaction to operate in terms of pages and return back to compaction issuer the number of pages that were freed during compaction. So from now on we will export more meaningful value in zram<id>/mm_stat -- the number of freed (compacted) pages. This requires: (a) a rename of `num_migrated' to 'pages_compacted' (b) a internal API change -- return first_page's fullness_group from putback_zspage(), so we know when putback_zspage() did free_zspage(). It helps us to account compaction stats correctly. Signed-off-by: -

`zs_compact_control' accounts the number of migrated objects but it has a limited lifespan -- we lose it as soon as zs_compaction() returns back to zram. It worked fine, because (a) zram had it's own counter of migrated objects and (b) only zram could trigger compaction. However, this does not work for automatic pool compaction (not issued by zram). To account objects migrated during auto-compaction (issued by the shrinker) we need to store this number in zs_pool. Define a new `struct zs_pool_stats' structure to keep zs_pool's stats there. It provides only `num_migrated', as of this writing, but it surely can be extended. A new zsmalloc zs_pool_stats() symbol exports zs_pool's stats back to caller. Use zs_pool_stats() in zram and remove `num_migrated' from zram_stats. Signed-off-by:

Always account per-class `zs_size_stat' stats. This data will help us make better decisions during compaction. We are especially interested in OBJ_ALLOCATED and OBJ_USED, which can tell us if class compaction will result in any memory gain. For instance, we know the number of allocated objects in the class, the number of objects being used (so we also know how many objects are not used) and the number of objects per-page. So we can ensure if we have enough unused objects to form at least one ZS_EMPTY zspage during compaction. We calculate this value on per-class basis so we can calculate a total number of zspages that can be released. Which is exactly what a shrinker wants to know. Signed-off-by:

This patchset tweaks compaction and makes it possible to trigger pool compaction automatically when system is getting low on memory. zsmalloc in some cases can suffer from a notable fragmentation and compaction can release some considerable amount of memory. The problem here is that currently we fully rely on user space to perform compaction when needed. However, performing zsmalloc compaction is not always an obvious thing to do. For example, suppose we have a `idle' fragmented (compaction was never performed) zram device and system is getting low on memory due to some 3rd party user processes (gcc LTO, or firefox, etc.). It's quite unlikely that user space will issue zpool compaction in this case. Besides, user space cannot tell for sure how badly pool is fragmented; however, this info is known to zsmalloc and, hence, to a shrinker. This patch (of 7): __zs_compact() does not use `nr_to_migrate', drop it. Signed-off-by:

Commit 1dfb059b ("thp: reduce khugepaged freezing latency") fixed khugepaged to do not block a system suspend. But the result is that it could not get interrupted before the given timeout because the condition for the wait event is "false". This patch puts back the original approach but it uses freezable_schedule_timeout_interruptible() instead of schedule_timeout_interruptible(). It does the right thing. I am pretty sure that the freezable variant was not used in the original fix only because it was not available at that time. The regression has been there for ages. It was not critical. It just did the allocation throttling a little bit more aggressively. I found this problem when converting the kthread to kthread worker API and trying to understand the code. This bug is thought to have minimal userspace-visible impact. Somebody could set a high alloc_sleep value by mistake, and then try to fix it back, but khugepaged would keep sleeping until the high value expires. Signed-off-by:

We cache isolate_start_pfn before entering isolate_migratepages(). If pageblock is skipped in isolate_migratepages() due to whatever reason, cc->migrate_pfn can be far from isolate_start_pfn hence we flush pages that were freed. For example, the following scenario can be possible: - assume order-9 compaction, pageblock order is 9 - start_isolate_pfn is 0x200 - isolate_migratepages() - skip a number of pageblocks - start to isolate from pfn 0x600 - cc->migrate_pfn = 0x620 - return - last_migrated_pfn is set to 0x200 - check flushing condition - current_block_start is set to 0x600 - last_migrated_pfn < current_block_start then do useless flush This wrong flush would not help the performance and success rate so this patch tries to fix it. One simple way to know the exact position where we start to isolate migratable pages is that we cache it in isolate_migratepages() before entering actual isolation. This patch implements that and fixes the problem. Signed-off-by:

Perform the same debug checks in alloc_pages_node() as are done in __alloc_pages_node(), by making the former function a wrapper of the latter one. In addition to better diagnostics in DEBUG_VM builds for situations which have been already fatal (e.g. out-of-bounds node id), there are two visible changes for potential existing buggy callers of alloc_pages_node(): - calling alloc_pages_node() with any negative nid (e.g. due to arithmetic overflow) was treated as passing NUMA_NO_NODE and fallback to local node was applied. This will now be fatal. - calling alloc_pages_node() with an offline node will now be checked for DEBUG_VM builds. Since it's not fatal if the node has been previously online, and this patch may expose some existing buggy callers, change the VM_BUG_ON in __alloc_pages_node() to VM_WARN_ON. Signed-off-by:

alloc_pages_exact_node() was introduced in commit 6484eb3e ("page allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is valid") as an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node(), that doesn't fallback to current node for nid == NUMA_NO_NODE. Unfortunately the name of the function can easily suggest that the allocation is restricted to the given node and fails otherwise. In truth, the node is only preferred, unless __GFP_THISNODE is passed among the gfp flags. The misleading name has lead to mistakes in the past, see for example commits 5265047a ("mm, thp: really limit transparent hugepage allocation to local node") and b360edb4 ("mm, mempolicy: migrate_to_node should only migrate to node"). Another issue with the name is that there's a family of alloc_pages_exact*() functions where 'exact' means exact size (instead of page order), which leads to more confusion. To prevent further mistakes, this patch effectively renames alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node() to better convey that it's an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node() not intended for general usage. Both functions get described in comments. It has been also considered to really provide a convenience function for allocations restricted to a node, but the major opinion seems to be that __GFP_THISNODE already provides that functionality and we shouldn't duplicate the API needlessly. The number of users would be small anyway. Existing callers of alloc_pages_exact_node() are simply converted to call __alloc_pages_node(), with the exception of sba_alloc_coherent() which open-codes the check for NUMA_NO_NODE, so it is converted to use alloc_pages_node() instead. This means it no longer performs some VM_BUG_ON checks, and since the current check for nid in alloc_pages_node() uses a 'nid < 0' comparison (which includes NUMA_NO_NODE), it may hide wrong values which would be previously exposed. Both differences will be rectified by the next patch. To sum up, this patch makes no functional changes, except temporarily hiding potentially buggy callers. Restricting the checks in alloc_pages_node() is left for the next patch which can in turn expose more existing buggy callers. Signed-off-by:

Shmem uses shmem_recalc_inode to update i_blocks when it allocates page, undoes range or swaps. But mm can drop clean page without notifying shmem. This makes fstat sometimes return out-of-date block size. The problem can be partially solved when we add inode_operations->getattr which calls shmem_recalc_inode to update i_blocks for fstat. shmem_recalc_inode also updates counter used by statfs and vm_committed_as. For them the situation is not changed. They still suffer from the discrepancy after dropping clean page and before the function is called by aforementioned triggers. Signed-off-by:

memory_failure() can be called at any page at any time, which means that we can't eliminate the possibility of containment failure. In such case the best option is to leak the page intentionally (and never touch it later.) We have an unpoison function for testing, and it cannot handle such containment-failed pages, which results in kernel panic (visible with various calltraces.) So this patch suggests that we limit the unpoisonable pages to properly contained pages and ignore any other ones. Testers are recommended to keep in mind that there're un-unpoisonable pages when writing test programs. Signed-off-by:

Anyway, the page refcount and mapcount will still mess if the page is mapped by multiple users. This race was introduced by commit 4491f712 ("mm/memory-failure: set PageHWPoison before migrate_pages()"), which focuses on preventing the reuse of successfully migrated page. Before this commit we prevent the reuse by changing the migratetype to MIGRATE_ISOLATE during soft offlining, which has the following problems, so simply reverting the commit is not a best option: 1) it doesn't eliminate the reuse completely, because set_migratetype_isolate() can fail to set MIGRATE_ISOLATE to the target page if the pageblock of the page contains one or more unmovable pages (i.e. has_unmovable_pages() returns true). 2) the original code changes migratetype to MIGRATE_ISOLATE forcibly, and sets it to MIGRATE_MOVABLE forcibly after soft offline, regardless of the original migratetype state, which could impact other subsystems like memory hotplug or compaction. This patch moves PageSetHWPoison just after put_page() in unmap_and_move(), which closes up the reported race window and minimizes another race window b/w SetPageHWPoison and reallocation (which causes the reuse of soft-offlined page.) The latter race window still exists but it's acceptable, because it's rare and effectively the same as ordinary "containment failure" case even if it happens, so keep the window open is acceptable.

Hwpoison injection takes a refcount of target page and another refcount of head page of THP if the target page is the tail page of a THP. However, current code doesn't release the refcount of head page if the THP is not supported to be injected wrt hwpoison filter. Fix it by reducing the refcount of head page if the target page is the tail page of a THP and it is not supported to be injected. Signed-off-by:
