2017-05-03zram: reduce load operation in page_same_filledSangwoo Park
In page_same_filled function, all elements in the page is compared with next index value. The current comparison routine compares the (i)th and (i+1)th values of the page. In this case, two load operaions occur for each comparison. But if we store first value of the page stores at 'val' variable and using it to compare with others, the load opearation is reduced. It reduce load operation per page by up to 64times.

The reason is zram expects each bvec in bio contains a single page but nvme can attach a huge bulk of pages attached to the bio's bvec so that zram's index arithmetic could be wrong so that out-of-bound access makes system panic. [1] in mainline solved solved the problem by limiting max_sectors with SECTORS_PER_PAGE but it makes zram slow because bio should split with each pages so this patch makes zram aware of multiple pages in a bvec so it could solve without any regression(ie, bio split).

2017-05-03mm, page_alloc: remove debug_guardpage_minorder() test in warn_alloc()Tetsuo Handa
Commit c0a32fc5a2e4 ("mm: more intensive memory corruption debugging") changed to check debug_guardpage_minorder() > 0 when reporting allocation failures. The reasoning was When we use guard page to debug memory corruption, it shrinks available pages to 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 and so on, depending on parameter value. In such case memory allocation failures can be common and printing errors can flood dmesg. If somebody debug corruption, allocation failures are not the things he/she is interested about. but this is misguided. Allocation requests with __GFP_NOWARN flag by definition do not cause flooding of allocation failure messages. Allocation requests with __GFP_NORETRY flag likely also have __GFP_NOWARN flag. Costly allocation requests likely also have __GFP_NOWARN flag. Allocation requests without __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM flag likely also have __GFP_NOWARN flag or __GFP_HIGH flag. Non-costly allocation requests with __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM flag basically retry forever due to the "too small to fail" memory-allocation rule. Therefore, as a whole, shrinking available pages by debug_guardpage_minorder= kernel boot parameter might cause flooding of OOM killer messages but unlikely causes flooding of allocation failure messages. Let's remove debug_guardpage_minorder() > 0 check which would likely be pointless.

2017-05-03mm/madvise.c: clean up MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE and MADV_HWPOISONAnshuman Khandual
This cleans up handling MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE and MADV_HWPOISON called through madvise() system call. * madvise_memory_failure() was misleading to accommodate handling of both memory_failure() as well as soft_offline_page() functions. Basically it handles memory error injection from user space which can go either way as memory failure or soft offline. Renamed as madvise_inject_error() instead. * Renamed struct page pointer 'p' to 'page'. * pr_info() was essentially printing PFN value but it said 'page' which was misleading. Made the process virtual address explicit.

2017-05-03mm: vmscan: fix IO/refault regression in cache workingset transitionJohannes Weiner
Since commit 59dc76b0d4df ("mm: vmscan: reduce size of inactive file list") we noticed bigger IO spikes during changes in cache access patterns. The patch in question shrunk the inactive list size to leave more room for the current workingset in the presence of streaming IO. However, workingset transitions that previously happened on the inactive list are now pushed out of memory and incur more refaults to complete. This patch disables active list protection when refaults are being observed. This accelerates workingset transitions, and allows more of the new set to establish itself from memory, without eating into the ability to protect the established workingset during stable periods. The workloads that were measurably affected for us were hit pretty bad by it, with refault/majfault rates doubling and tripling during cache transitions, and the machines sustaining half-hour periods of 100% IO utilization, where they'd previously have sub-minute peaks at 60-90%. Stateful services that handle user data tend to be more conservative with kernel upgrades. As a result we hit most page cache issues with some delay, as was the case here. The severity seemed to warrant a stable tag.

This patch updates moom_callback to tell that no task was eligible which is the case for both oom killer disabled and no eligible tasks. In order to help distinguish first case from the second add printk to both oom_killer_{enable,disable}. This information is useful on its own because it might help debugging potential memory allocation failures.

2017-05-03mm: enable page poisoning early at bootVinayak Menon
On SPARSEMEM systems page poisoning is enabled after buddy is up, because of the dependency on page extension init. This causes the pages released by free_all_bootmem not to be poisoned. This either delays or misses the identification of some issues because the pages have to undergo another cycle of alloc-free-alloc for any corruption to be detected. Enable page poisoning early by getting rid of the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_POISON flag. Since all the free pages will now be poisoned, the flag need not be verified before checking the poison during an alloc.

2017-05-03mm, swap: avoid lock swap_avail_lock when held cluster lockHuang Ying
Cluster lock is used to protect the swap_cluster_info and corresponding elements in swap_info_struct->swap_map[]. But it is found that now in scan_swap_map_slots(), swap_avail_lock may be acquired when cluster lock is held. This does no good except making the locking more complex and improving the potential locking contention, because the swap_info_struct->lock is used to protect the data structure operated in the code already. Fix this via moving the corresponding operations in scan_swap_map_slots() out of cluster lock.

2017-05-03mm, swap: fix comment in __read_swap_cache_asyncHuang Ying
Commit cbab0e4eec29 ("swap: avoid read_swap_cache_async() race to deadlock while waiting on discard I/O completion") fixed a deadlock in read_swap_cache_async(). Because at that time, in swap allocation path, a swap entry may be set as SWAP_HAS_CACHE, then wait for discarding to complete before the page for the swap entry is added to the swap cache. But in commit 815c2c543d3a ("swap: make swap discard async"), the discarding for swap become asynchronous, waiting for discarding to complete will be done before the swap entry is set as SWAP_HAS_CACHE. So the comments in code is incorrect now. This patch fixes the comments. The cond_resched() added in the commit cbab0e4eec29 is not necessary now too. But if we added some sleep in swap allocation path in the future, there may be some hard to debug/reproduce deadlock bug. So it is kept.

2017-05-03mm/vmscan: more restrictive condition for retry in do_try_to_free_pagesYisheng Xie
By reviewing code, I find that when enter do_try_to_free_pages, the may_thrash is always clear, and it will retry shrink zones to tap cgroup's reserves memory by setting may_thrash when the former shrink_zones reclaim nothing. However, when memcg is disabled or on legacy hierarchy, or there do not have any memcg protected by low limit, it should not do this useless retry at all, for we do not have any cgroup's reserves memory to tap, and we have already done hard work but made no progress, which as Michal pointed out in former version, we are trying hard to control the retry logical of page alloctor, and the current additional round of reclaim is just lame. Therefore, to avoid this unneeded retrying and make code more readable, we remove the may_thrash field in scan_control, instead, introduce memcg_low_reclaim and memcg_low_skipped, and only retry when memcg_low_skipped, by setting memcg_low_reclaim.

2017-05-03mm, vmscan: prevent kswapd sleeping prematurely due to mismatched classzone_idxMel Gorman
kswapd is woken to reclaim a node based on a failed allocation request from any eligible zone. Once reclaiming in balance_pgdat(), it will continue reclaiming until there is an eligible zone available for the zone it was woken for. kswapd tracks what zone it was recently woken for in pgdat->kswapd_classzone_idx. If it has not been woken recently, this zone will be 0. However, the decision on whether to sleep is made on kswapd_classzone_idx which is 0 without a recent wakeup request and that classzone does not account for lowmem reserves. This allows kswapd to sleep when a low small zone such as ZONE_DMA is balanced for a GFP_DMA request even if a stream of allocations cannot use that zone. While kswapd may be woken again shortly in the near future there are two consequences -- the pgdat bits that control congestion are cleared prematurely and direct reclaim is more likely as kswapd slept prematurely. This patch flips kswapd_classzone_idx to default to MAX_NR_ZONES (an invalid index) when there has been no recent wakeups. If there are no wakeups, it'll decide whether to sleep based on the highest possible zone available (MAX_NR_ZONES - 1). It then becomes critical that the "pgdat balanced" decisions during reclaim and when deciding to sleep are the same. If there is a mismatch, kswapd can stay awake continually trying to balance tiny zones. simoop was used to evaluate it again. Two of the preparation patches regressed the workload so they are included as the second set of results. Otherwise this patch looks artifically excellent 4.11.0-rc1 4.11.0-rc1 4.11.0-rc1 vanilla clear-v2 keepawake-v2 Amean p50-Read 21670074.18 ( 0.00%) 19786774.76 ( 8.69%) 22668332.52 ( -4.61%) Amean p95-Read 25456267.64 ( 0.00%) 24101956.27 ( 5.32%) 26738688.00 ( -5.04%) Amean p99-Read 29369064.73 ( 0.00%) 27691872.71 ( 5.71%) 30991404.52 ( -5.52%) Amean p50-Write 1390.30 ( 0.00%) 1011.91 ( 27.22%) 924.91 ( 33.47%) Amean p95-Write 412901.57 ( 0.00%) 34874.98 ( 91.55%) 1362.62 ( 99.67%) Amean p99-Write 6668722.09 ( 0.00%) 575449.60 ( 91.37%) 16854.04 ( 99.75%) Amean p50-Allocation 78714.31 ( 0.00%) 84246.26 ( -7.03%) 74729.74 ( 5.06%) Amean p95-Allocation 175533.51 ( 0.00%) 400058.43 (-127.91%) 101609.74 ( 42.11%) Amean p99-Allocation 247003.02 ( 0.00%) 10905600.00 (-4315.17%) 125765.57 ( 49.08%) With this patch on top, write and allocation latencies are massively improved.

Direct reclaim is reduced but not eliminated. It's worth noting that there are two periods of direct reclaim for this workload. The first is when it switches from preparing the files for the actual test itself. It's a lot of file IO followed by a lot of allocs that reclaims heavily for a brief window. While direct reclaim is lower with clear-v2, it is due to kswapd scanning aggressively and trying to reclaim the world which is not the right thing to do. With the patches applied, there is still direct reclaim but the phase change from "creating work files" to starting multiple threads that allocate a lot of anonymous memory faster than kswapd can reclaim. Scanning/reclaim efficiency is restored by this patch. Page writes from reclaim context are back at 0 which is ideal. Pages immediately reclaimed after IO completes is slightly improved but it is expected this will vary slightly. On UMA, there is almost no change so this is not expected to be a universal win.

2017-05-03mm, vmscan: only clear pgdat congested/dirty/writeback state when balancedMel Gorman
A pgdat tracks if recent reclaim encountered too many dirty, writeback or congested pages. The flags control whether kswapd writes pages back from reclaim context, tags pages for immediate reclaim when IO completes, whether processes block on wait_iff_congested and whether kswapd blocks when too many pages marked for immediate reclaim are encountered. The state is cleared in a check function with side-effects. With the patch "mm, vmscan: fix zone balance check in prepare_kswapd_sleep", the timing of when the bits get cleared changed. Due to the way the check works, it'll clear the bits if ZONE_DMA is balanced for a GFP_DMA allocation because it does not account for lowmem reserves properly. For the simoop workload, kswapd is not stalling when it should due to the premature clearing, writing pages from reclaim context like crazy and generally being unhelpful. This patch resets the pgdat bits related to page reclaim only when kswapd is going to sleep.

2017-05-03mm, vmscan: fix zone balance check in prepare_kswapd_sleepShantanu Goel
Patch series "Reduce amount of time kswapd sleeps prematurely", v2. The series is unusual in that the first patch fixes one problem and introduces other issues that are noted in the changelog. Patch 2 makes a minor modification that is worth considering on its own but leaves the kernel in a state where it behaves badly. It's not until patch 3 that there is an improvement against baseline. This was mostly motivated by examining Chris Mason's "simoop" benchmark which puts the VM under similar pressure to HADOOP. It has been reported that the benchmark has regressed severely during the last number of releases. While I cannot reproduce all the same problems Chris experienced due to hardware limitations, there was a number of problems on a 2-socket machine with a single disk. simoop latencies 4.11.0-rc1 4.11.0-rc1 vanilla keepawake-v2 Amean p50-Read 21670074.18 ( 0.00%) 22668332.52 ( -4.61%) Amean p95-Read 25456267.64 ( 0.00%) 26738688.00 ( -5.04%) Amean p99-Read 29369064.73 ( 0.00%) 30991404.52 ( -5.52%) Amean p50-Write 1390.30 ( 0.00%) 924.91 ( 33.47%) Amean p95-Write 412901.57 ( 0.00%) 1362.62 ( 99.67%) Amean p99-Write 6668722.09 ( 0.00%) 16854.04 ( 99.75%) Amean p50-Allocation 78714.31 ( 0.00%) 74729.74 ( 5.06%) Amean p95-Allocation 175533.51 ( 0.00%) 101609.74 ( 42.11%) Amean p99-Allocation 247003.02 ( 0.00%) 125765.57 ( 49.08%) These are latencies. Read/write are threads reading fixed-size random blocks from a simulated database. The allocation latency is mmaping and faulting regions of memory. The p50, 95 and p99 reports the worst latencies for 50% of the samples, 95% and 99% respectively. For example, the report indicates that while the test was running 99% of writes completed 99.75% faster. It's worth noting that on a UMA machine that no difference in performance with simoop was observed so milage will vary. It's noted that there is a slight impact to read latencies but it's mostly due to IO scheduler decisions and offset by the large reduction in other latencies. This patch (of 3): The check in prepare_kswapd_sleep needs to match the one in balance_pgdat since the latter will return as soon as any one of the zones in the classzone is above the watermark. This is specially important for higher order allocations since balance_pgdat will typically reset the order to zero relying on compaction to create the higher order pages. Without this patch, prepare_kswapd_sleep fails to wake up kcompactd since the zone balance check fails. It was first reported against 4.9.7 that kswapd is failing to wake up kcompactd due to a mismatch in the zone balance check between balance_pgdat() and prepare_kswapd_sleep(). balance_pgdat() returns as soon as a single zone satisfies the allocation but prepare_kswapd_sleep() requires all zones to do +the same. This causes prepare_kswapd_sleep() to never succeed except in the order == 0 case and consequently, wakeup_kcompactd() is never called. For the machine that originally motivated this patch, the state of compaction from /proc/vmstat looked this way after a day and a half +of uptime: compact_migrate_scanned 240496 compact_free_scanned 76238632 compact_isolated 123472 compact_stall 1791 compact_fail 29 compact_success 1762 compact_daemon_wake 0 After applying the patch and about 10 hours of uptime the state looks like this: compact_migrate_scanned 59927299 compact_free_scanned 2021075136 compact_isolated 640926 compact_stall 4 compact_fail 2 compact_success 2 compact_daemon_wake 5160 Further notes from Mel that motivated him to pick this patch up and resend it; It was observed for the simoop workload (pressures the VM similar to HADOOP) that kswapd was failing to keep ahead of direct reclaim. The investigation noted that there was a need to rationalise kswapd decisions to reclaim with kswapd decisions to sleep. With this patch on a 2-socket box, there was a 49% reduction in direct reclaim scanning. However, the impact otherwise is extremely negative. Kswapd reclaim efficiency dropped from 98% to 76%. simoop has three latency-related metrics for read, write and allocation (an anonymous mmap and fault). 4.11.0-rc1 4.11.0-rc1 vanilla fixcheck-v2 Amean p50-Read 21670074.18 ( 0.00%) 20464344.18 ( 5.56%) Amean p95-Read 25456267.64 ( 0.00%) 25721423.64 ( -1.04%) Amean p99-Read 29369064.73 ( 0.00%) 30174230.76 ( -2.74%) Amean p50-Write 1390.30 ( 0.00%) 1395.28 ( -0.36%) Amean p95-Write 412901.57 ( 0.00%) 37737.74 ( 90.86%) Amean p99-Write 6668722.09 ( 0.00%) 666489.04 ( 90.01%) Amean p50-Allocation 78714.31 ( 0.00%) 86286.22 ( -9.62%) Amean p95-Allocation 175533.51 ( 0.00%) 351812.27 (-100.42%) Amean p99-Allocation 247003.02 ( 0.00%) 6291171.56 (-2447.00%) Of greater concern is that the patch causes swapping and page writes from kswapd context rose from 0 pages to 4189753 pages during the hour the workload ran for. By and large, the patch has very bad behaviour but easily missed as the impact on a UMA machine is negligible. This patch is included with the data in case a bisection leads to this area. This patch is also a pre-requisite for the rest of the series.

2017-05-03mm: do not use double negation for testing page flagsMinchan Kim
With the discussion[1], I found it seems there are every PageFlags functions return bool at this moment so we don't need double negation any more. Although it's not a problem to keep it, it makes future users confused to use double negation for them, too. Remove such possibility. [1] https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=148881578820434 Frankly sepaking, I like every PageFlags to return bool instead of int. It will make it clear.

2017-05-03mm: tighten up the fault path a littleMatthew Wilcox
The round_up() macro generates a couple of unnecessary instructions in this usage: 48cd: 49 8b 47 50 mov 0x50(%r15),%rax 48d1: 48 83 e8 01 sub $0x1,%rax 48d5: 48 0d ff 0f 00 00 or $0xfff,%rax 48db: 48 83 c0 01 add $0x1,%rax 48df: 48 c1 f8 0c sar $0xc,%rax 48e3: 48 39 c3 cmp %rax,%rbx 48e6: 72 2e jb 4916 <filemap_fault+0x96> If we change round_up() to ((x) + __round_mask(x, y)) & ~__round_mask(x, y) then GCC can see through it and remove the mask (because that would be dead code given the subsequent shift): 48cd: 49 8b 47 50 mov 0x50(%r15),%rax 48d1: 48 05 ff 0f 00 00 add $0xfff,%rax 48d7: 48 c1 e8 0c shr $0xc,%rax 48db: 48 39 c3 cmp %rax,%rbx 48de: 72 2e jb 490e <filemap_fault+0x8e> But that's problematic because we'd evaluate 'y' twice. Converting round_up into an inline function prevents it from being used in other definitions. The easiest thing to do is just change these three usages of round_up to use DIV_ROUND_UP. Also add an unlikely() because GCC's heuristic is wrong in this case.

now that we have memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} api we can mark the whole transaction context as implicitly GFP_NOFS. All allocations will automatically inherit GFP_NOFS this way. This means that we do not have to mark any of those requests with GFP_NOFS and moreover all the ext4_kv[mz]alloc(GFP_NOFS) are also safe now because even the hardcoded GFP_KERNEL allocations deep inside the vmalloc will be NOFS now.
