Anonymous compound pages can be mapped by ptes, which means that if we
want to track NR_MAPPED_ANON, NR_ANON_THPS on a per-cgroup basis, we have
to be prepared to see tail pages in our accounting functions.
Make mod_lruvec_page_state() and lock_page_memcg() deal with tail pages
correctly, namely by redirecting to the head page which has the
page->mem_cgroup set up.

When memcg uses the generic vmstat counters, it doesn't need to do
anything at charging and uncharging time. It does, however, need to
migrate counts when pages move to a different cgroup in move_account.
Prepare the move_account function for the arrival of NR_FILE_PAGES,
NR_ANON_MAPPED, NR_ANON_THPS etc. by having a branch for files and a
branch for anon, which can then divided into sub-branches.

The uncharge batching code adds up the anon, file, kmem counts to
determine the total number of pages to uncharge and references to drop.
But the next patches will remove the anon and file counters.
Maintain an aggregate nr_pages in the uncharge_gather struct.

The try/commit/cancel protocol that memcg uses dates back to when pages
used to be uncharged upon removal from the page cache, and thus couldn't
be committed before the insertion had succeeded. Nowadays, pages are
uncharged when they are physically freed; it doesn't matter whether the
insertion was successful or not. For the page cache, the transaction
dance has become unnecessary.
Introduce a mem_cgroup_charge() function that simply charges a newly
allocated page to a cgroup and sets up page->mem_cgroup in one single
step. If the insertion fails, the caller doesn't have to do anything but
free/put the page.
Then switch the page cache over to this new API.
Subsequent patches will also convert anon pages, but it needs a bit more
prep work. Right now, memcg depends on page->mapping being already set up
at the time of charging, so that it can maintain its own MEMCG_CACHE and
MEMCG_RSS counters. For anon, page->mapping is set under the same pte
lock under which the page is publishd, so a single charge point that can
block doesn't work there just yet.
The following prep patches will replace the private memcg counters with
the generic vmstat counters, thus removing the page->mapping dependency,
then complete the transition to the new single-point charge API and delete
the old transactional scheme.

The cgroup swaprate throttling is about matching new anon allocations to
the rate of available IO when that is being throttled. It's the io
controller hooking into the VM, rather than a memory controller thing.
Rename mem_cgroup_throttle_swaprate() to cgroup_throttle_swaprate(), and
drop the @memcg argument which is only used to check whether the preceding
page charge has succeeded and the fault is proceeding.
We could decouple the call from mem_cgroup_try_charge() here as well, but
that would cause unnecessary churn: the following patches convert all
callsites to a new charge API and we'll decouple as we go along.

Commit 215c02bc33bb ("tmpfs: fix shmem_getpage_gfp() VM_BUG_ON")
recognized that hole punching can race with swapin and removed the
BUG_ON() for a truncated entry from the swapin path.
The patch also added a swapcache deletion to optimize this rare case:
Since swapin has the page locked, and free_swap_and_cache() merely
trylocks, this situation can leave the page stranded in swapcache.
Usually, page reclaim picks up stale swapcache pages, and the race can
happen at any other time when the page is locked. (The same happens for
non-shmem swapin racing with page table zapping.) The thinking here was:
we already observed the race and we have the page locked, we may as well
do the cleanup instead of waiting for reclaim.
However, this optimization complicates the next patch which moves the
cgroup charging code around. As this is just a minor speedup for a race
condition that is so rare that it required a fuzzer to trigger the
original BUG_ON(), it's no longer worth the complications.

The memcg charging API carries a boolean @compound parameter that tells
whether the page we're dealing with is a hugepage.
mem_cgroup_commit_charge() has another boolean @lrucare that indicates
whether the page needs LRU locking or not while charging. The majority of
callsites know those parameters at compile time, which results in a lot of
naked "false, false" argument lists. This makes for cryptic code and is a
breeding ground for subtle mistakes.
Thankfully, the huge page state can be inferred from the page itself and
doesn't need to be passed along. This is safe because charging completes
before the page is published and somebody may split it.
Simplify the callsites by removing @compound, and let memcg infer the
state by using hpage_nr_pages() unconditionally. That function does
PageTransHuge() to identify huge pages, which also helpfully asserts that
nobody passes in tail pages by accident.
The following patches will introduce a new charging API, best not to carry
over unnecessary weight.

The move_lock is a per-memcg lock, but the VM accounting code that needs
to acquire it comes from the page and follows page->mem_cgroup under RCU
protection. That means that the page becomes unlocked not when we drop
the move_lock, but when we update page->mem_cgroup. And that assignment
doesn't imply any memory ordering. If that pointer write gets reordered
against the reads of the page state - page_mapped, PageDirty etc. the
state may change while we rely on it being stable and we can end up
corrupting the counters.
Place an SMP memory barrier to make sure we're done with all page state by
the time the new page->mem_cgroup becomes visible.
Also replace the open-coded move_lock with a lock_page_memcg() to make it
more obvious what we're serializing against.

Patch series "mm: memcontrol: charge swapin pages on instantiation", v2.
This patch series reworks memcg to charge swapin pages directly at
swapin time, rather than at fault time, which may be much later, or
not happen at all.
Changes in version 2:
- prevent double charges on pre-allocated hugepages in khugepaged
- leave shmem swapcache when charging fails to avoid double IO (Joonsoo)
- fix temporary accounting bug by switching rmap<->commit (Joonsoo)
- fix double swap charge bug in cgroup1/cgroup2 code gating
- simplify swapin error checking (Joonsoo)
- mm: memcontrol: document the new swap control behavior (Alex)
- review tags
The delayed swapin charging scheme we have right now causes problems:
- Alex's per-cgroup lru_lock patches rely on pages that have been
isolated from the LRU to have a stable page->mem_cgroup; otherwise
the lock may change underneath him. Swapcache pages are charged only
after they are added to the LRU, and charging doesn't follow the LRU
isolation protocol.
- Joonsoo's anon workingset patches need a suitable LRU at the time
the page enters the swap cache and displaces the non-resident
info. But the correct LRU is only available after charging.
- It's a containment hole / DoS vector. Users can trigger arbitrarily
large swap readahead using MADV_WILLNEED. The memory is never
charged unless somebody actually touches it.
- It complicates the page->mem_cgroup stabilization rules
In order to charge pages directly at swapin time, the memcg code base
needs to be prepared, and several overdue cleanups become a necessity:
To charge pages at swapin time, we need to always have cgroup
ownership tracking of swap records. We also cannot rely on
page->mapping to tell apart page types at charge time, because that's
only set up during a page fault.
To eliminate the page->mapping dependency, memcg needs to ditch its
private page type counters (MEMCG_CACHE, MEMCG_RSS, NR_SHMEM) in favor
of the generic vmstat counters and accounting sites, such as
NR_FILE_PAGES, NR_ANON_MAPPED etc.
To switch to generic vmstat counters, the charge sequence must be
adjusted such that page->mem_cgroup is set up by the time these
counters are modified.
The series is structured as follows:
1. Bug fixes
2. Decoupling charging from rmap
3. Swap controller integration into memcg
4. Direct swapin charging
This patch (of 19):
When replacing one page with another one in the cache, we have to decrease
the file count of the old page's NUMA node and increase the one of the new
NUMA node, otherwise the old node leaks the count and the new node
eventually underflows its counter.

Fix an nr_isolate_* mismatch problem between cma and dirty lazyfree pages.
If try_to_unmap_one is used for reclaim and it detects a dirty lazyfree
page, then the lazyfree page is changed to a normal anon page having
SwapBacked by commit 802a3a92ad7a ("mm: reclaim MADV_FREE pages"). Even
with the change, reclaim context correctly counts isolated files because
it uses is_file_lru to distinguish file. And the change to anon is not
happened if try_to_unmap_one is used for migration. So migration context
like compaction also correctly counts isolated files even though it uses
page_is_file_lru insted of is_file_lru. Recently page_is_file_cache was
renamed to page_is_file_lru by commit 9de4f22a60f7 ("mm: code cleanup for
MADV_FREE").
But the nr_isolate_* mismatch problem happens on cma alloc. There is
reclaim_clean_pages_from_list which is being used only by cma. It was
introduced by commit 02c6de8d757c ("mm: cma: discard clean pages during
contiguous allocation instead of migration") to reclaim clean file pages
without migration. The cma alloc uses both reclaim_clean_pages_from_list
and migrate_pages, and it uses page_is_file_lru to count isolated files.
If there are dirty lazyfree pages allocated from cma memory region, the
pages are counted as isolated file at the beginging but are counted as
isolated anon after finished.
Mem-Info:
Node 0 active_anon:3045904kB inactive_anon:611448kB active_file:14892kB inactive_file:205636kB unevictable:10416kB isolated(anon):0kB isolated(file):37664kB mapped:630216kB dirty:384kB writeback:0kB shmem:42576kB writeback_tmp:0kB unstable:0kB all_unreclaimable? no
Like log above, there were too much isolated files, 37664kB, which
triggers too_many_isolated in reclaim even when there is no actually
isolated file in system wide. It could be reproducible by running two
programs, writing on MADV_FREE page and doing cma alloc, respectively.
Although isolated anon is 0, I found that the internal value of isolated
anon was the negative value of isolated file.
Fix this by compensating the isolated count for both LRU lists. Count
non-discarded lazyfree pages in shrink_page_list, then compensate the
counted number in reclaim_clean_pages_from_list.

Patch series "mm/hugetlb: Add some new generic fallbacks", v3.
This series adds the following new generic fallbacks. Before that it
drops __HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_PTEP_GET from arm64 platform.
1. is_hugepage_only_range()
2. arch_clear_hugepage_flags()
After this arm (32 bit) remains the sole platform defining it's own
huge_ptep_get() via __HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_PTEP_GET.
This patch (of 3):
Platform specific huge_ptep_get() is required only when fetching the huge
PTE involves more than just dereferencing the page table pointer. This is
not the case on arm64 platform. Hence huge_ptep_pte() can be dropped
along with it's __HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_PTEP_GET subscription. Before that, it
updates the generic huge_ptep_get() with READ_ONCE() which will prevent
known page table issues with THP on arm64.

When huge_pte_offset() is called, the parameter sz can only be PUD_SIZE or
PMD_SIZE. If sz is PUD_SIZE and code can reach pud, then *pud must be
none, or normal hugetlb entry, or non-present (migration or hwpoisoned)
hugetlb entry, and we can directly return pud. When sz is PMD_SIZE, pud
must be none or present, and if code can reach pmd, we can directly return
pmd.
So after this patch the code is simplified by first check on the parameter
sz, and avoid unnecessary checks in current code. Same semantics of
existing code is maintained.
More details about relevant commits:
commit 9b19df292c66 ("mm/hugetlb.c: make huge_pte_offset() consistent
and document behaviour") changed the code path for pud and pmd handling,
see comments about why this patch intends to change it.
...
pud = pud_offset(p4d, addr);
if (sz != PUD_SIZE && pud_none(*pud)) // [1]
return NULL;
/* hugepage or swap? */
if (pud_huge(*pud) || !pud_present(*pud)) // [2]
return (pte_t *)pud;
pmd = pmd_offset(pud, addr);
if (sz != PMD_SIZE && pmd_none(*pmd)) // [3]
return NULL;
/* hugepage or swap? */
if (pmd_huge(*pmd) || !pmd_present(*pmd)) // [4]
return (pte_t *)pmd;
return NULL; // [5]
...
[1]: this is necessary, return NULL for sz == PMD_SIZE;
[2]: if sz == PUD_SIZE, all valid values of pud entry will cause return;
[3]: dead code, sz != PMD_SIZE never true;
[4]: all valid values of pmd entry will cause return;
[5]: dead code, because of check in [4].
Now, this patch combines [1] and [2] for pud, and combines [3], [4] and
[5] for pmd, so avoid unnecessary checks.
I don't try to catch any invalid values in page table entry, as that will
be checked by caller and avoid extra branch in this function. Also no
assert on sz must equal PUD_SIZE or PMD_SIZE, since this function only
call for hugetlb mapping.
For commit 3c1d7e6ccb64 ("mm/hugetlb: fix a addressing exception caused by
huge_pte_offset"), since we don't read the entry more than once now,
variable pud_entry and pmd_entry are not needed.

Previously, a check for hugepages_supported was added before processing
hugetlb command line parameters. On some architectures such as powerpc,
hugepages_supported() is not set to true until after command line
processing. Therefore, no hugetlb command line parameters would be
accepted.
Remove the additional checks for hugepages_supported. In hugetlb_init,
print a warning if !hugepages_supported and command line parameters were
specified.

With all hugetlb page processing done in a single file clean up code.
- Make code match desired semantics
- Update documentation with semantics
- Make all warnings and errors messages start with 'HugeTLB:'.
- Consistently name command line parsing routines.
- Warn if !hugepages_supported() and command line parameters have
been specified.
- Add comments to code
- Describe some of the subtle interactions
- Describe semantics of command line arguments
This patch also fixes issues with implicitly setting the number of
gigantic huge pages to preallocate. Previously on X86 command line,
hugepages=2 default_hugepagesz=1G
would result in zero 1G pages being preallocated and,
# grep HugePages_Total /proc/meminfo
HugePages_Total: 0
# sysctl -a | grep nr_hugepages
vm.nr_hugepages = 2
vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy = 2
# cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
2
After this patch 2 gigantic pages will be preallocated and all the proc,
sysfs, sysctl and meminfo files will accurately reflect this.
To address the issue with gigantic pages, a small change in behavior was
made to command line processing. Previously the command line,
hugepages=128 default_hugepagesz=2M hugepagesz=2M hugepages=256
would result in the allocation of 256 2M huge pages. The value 128 would
be ignored without any warning. After this patch, 128 2M pages will be
allocated and a warning message will be displayed indicating the value of
256 is ignored. This change in behavior is required because allocation of
implicitly specified gigantic pages must be done when the
default_hugepagesz= is encountered for gigantic pages. Previously the
code waited until later in the boot process (hugetlb_init), to allocate
pages of default size. However the bootmem allocator required for
gigantic allocations is not available at this time.

hugetlb_add_hstate() prints a warning if the hstate already exists. This
was originally done as part of kernel command line parsing. If
'hugepagesz=' was specified more than once, the warning
pr_warn("hugepagesz= specified twice, ignoring\n");
would be printed.
Some architectures want to enable all huge page sizes. They would call
hugetlb_add_hstate for all supported sizes. However, this was done after
command line processing and as a result hstates could have already been
created for some sizes. To make sure no warning were printed, there would
often be code like:
if (!size_to_hstate(size)
hugetlb_add_hstate(ilog2(size) - PAGE_SHIFT)
The only time we want to print the warning is as the result of command
line processing. So, remove the warning from hugetlb_add_hstate and add
it to the single arch independent routine processing "hugepagesz=". After
this, calls to size_to_hstate() in arch specific code can be removed and
hugetlb_add_hstate can be called without worrying about warning messages.

Now that architectures provide arch_hugetlb_valid_size(), parsing of
"hugepagesz=" can be done in architecture independent code. Create a
single routine to handle hugepagesz= parsing and remove all arch specific
routines. We can also remove the interface hugetlb_bad_size() as this is
no longer used outside arch independent code.
This also provides consistent behavior of hugetlbfs command line options.
The hugepagesz= option should only be specified once for a specific size,
but some architectures allow multiple instances. This appears to be more
of an oversight when code was added by some architectures to set up ALL
huge pages sizes.

Patch series "Clean up hugetlb boot command line processing", v4.
Longpeng(Mike) reported a weird message from hugetlb command line
processing and proposed a solution [1]. While the proposed patch does
address the specific issue, there are other related issues in command line
processing. As hugetlbfs evolved, updates to command line processing have
been made to meet immediate needs and not necessarily in a coordinated
manner. The result is that some processing is done in arch specific code,
some is done in arch independent code and coordination is problematic.
Semantics can vary between architectures.
The patch series does the following:
- Define arch specific arch_hugetlb_valid_size routine used to validate
passed huge page sizes.
- Move hugepagesz= command line parsing out of arch specific code and into
an arch independent routine.
- Clean up command line processing to follow desired semantics and
document those semantics.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200305033014.1152-1-longpeng2@huawei.com
This patch (of 3):
The architecture independent routine hugetlb_default_setup sets up the
default huge pages size. It has no way to verify if the passed value is
valid, so it accepts it and attempts to validate at a later time. This
requires undocumented cooperation between the arch specific and arch
independent code.
For architectures that support more than one huge page size, provide a
routine arch_hugetlb_valid_size to validate a huge page size.
hugetlb_default_setup can use this to validate passed values.
arch_hugetlb_valid_size will also be used in a subsequent patch to move
processing of the "hugepagesz=" in arch specific code to a common routine
in arch independent code.

'max_ptes_shared' specifies how many pages can be shared across multiple
processes. Exceeding the number would block the collapse::
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_shared
A higher value may increase memory footprint for some workloads.
By default, at least half of pages has to be not shared.

Currently we have different copy-on-write semantics for anon- and
file-THP. For anon-THP we try to allocate huge page on the write fault,
but on file-THP we split PMD and allocate 4k page.
Arguably, file-THP semantics is more desirable: we don't necessary want to
unshare full PMD range from the parent on the first access. This is the
primary reason THP is unusable for some workloads, like Redis.
The original THP refcounting didn't allow to have PTE-mapped compound
pages, so we had no options, but to allocate huge page on CoW (with
fallback to 512 4k pages).
The current refcounting doesn't have such limitations and we can cut a lot
of complex code out of fault path.
khugepaged is now able to recover THP from such ranges if the
configuration allows.

The page can be included into collapse as long as it doesn't have extra
pins (from GUP or otherwise).
Logic to check the refcount is moved to a separate function. For pages in
swap cache, add compound_nr(page) to the expected refcount, in order to
handle the compound page case. This is in preparation for the following
patch.
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() was removed from __collapse_huge_page_copy() as the
invariant it checks is no longer valid: the source can be mapped multiple
times now.

collapse_huge_page() tries to swap in pages that are part of the PMD
range. Just swapped in page goes though LRU add cache. The cache gets
extra reference on the page.
The extra reference can lead to the collapse fail: the following
__collapse_huge_page_isolate() would check refcount and abort collapse
seeing unexpected refcount.
The fix is to drain local LRU add cache in
__collapse_huge_page_swapin() if we successfully swapped in any pages.

Having a page in LRU add cache offsets page refcount and gives
false-negative on PageLRU(). It reduces collapse success rate.
Drain all LRU add caches before scanning. It happens relatively rare and
should not disturb the system too much.

__collapse_huge_page_swapin() checks the number of referenced PTE to
decide if the memory range is hot enough to justify swapin.
We have few problems with the approach:
- It is way too late: we can do the check much earlier and safe time.
khugepaged_scan_pmd() already knows if we have any pages to swap in
and number of referenced page.
- It stops collapse altogether if there's not enough referenced pages,
not only swappingin.
Fix it by making the right check early. We also can avoid additional
page table scanning if khugepaged_scan_pmd() haven't found any swap
entries.
Fixes: 0db501f7a34c ("mm, thp: convert from optimistic swapin collapsing to conservative")

Patch series "thp/khugepaged improvements and CoW semantics", v4.
The patchset adds khugepaged selftest (anon-THP only for now), expands
cases khugepaged can handle and switches anon-THP copy-on-write handling
to 4k.
This patch (of 8):
The test checks if khugepaged is able to recover huge page where we expect
to do so. It only covers anon-THP for now.
Currently the test shows few failures. They are going to be addressed by
the following patches.

Using padata during deferred init has only been tested on x86, so for now
limit it to this architecture.
If another arch wants this, it can find the max thread limit that's best
for it and override deferred_page_init_max_threads().

Deferred struct page init is a significant bottleneck in kernel boot.
Optimizing it maximizes availability for large-memory systems and allows
spinning up short-lived VMs as needed without having to leave them
running. It also benefits bare metal machines hosting VMs that are
sensitive to downtime. In projects such as VMM Fast Restart[1], where
guest state is preserved across kexec reboot, it helps prevent application
and network timeouts in the guests.
Multithread to take full advantage of system memory bandwidth.
The maximum number of threads is capped at the number of CPUs on the node
because speedups always improve with additional threads on every system
tested, and at this phase of boot, the system is otherwise idle and
waiting on page init to finish.
Helper threads operate on section-aligned ranges to both avoid false
sharing when setting the pageblock's migrate type and to avoid accessing
uninitialized buddy pages, though max order alignment is enough for the
latter.
The minimum chunk size is also a section. There was benefit to using
multiple threads even on relatively small memory (1G) systems, and this is
the smallest size that the alignment allows.
The time (milliseconds) is the slowest node to initialize since boot
blocks until all nodes finish. intel_pstate is loaded in active mode
without hwp and with turbo enabled, and intel_idle is active as well.

Deferred page init used to report the number of pages initialized:
node 0 initialised, 32439114 pages in 97ms
Tracking this makes the code more complicated when using multiple threads.
Given that the statistic probably has limited value, especially since a
zone grows on demand so that the page count can vary, just remove it.
The boot message now looks like
node 0 deferred pages initialised in 97ms

Sometimes the kernel doesn't take full advantage of system memory
bandwidth, leading to a single CPU spending excessive time in
initialization paths where the data scales with memory size.
Multithreading naturally addresses this problem.
Extend padata, a framework that handles many parallel yet singlethreaded
jobs, to also handle multithreaded jobs by adding support for splitting up
the work evenly, specifying a minimum amount of work that's appropriate
for one helper thread to do, load balancing between helpers, and
coordinating them.
This is inspired by work from Pavel Tatashin and Steve Sistare.

padata allocates per-CPU, per-instance work structs for parallel jobs. A
do_parallel call assigns a job to a sequence number and hashes the number
to a CPU, where the job will eventually run using the corresponding work.
This approach fit with how padata used to bind a job to each CPU
round-robin, makes less sense after commit bfde23ce200e6 ("padata: unbind
parallel jobs from specific CPUs") because a work isn't bound to a
particular CPU anymore, and isn't needed at all for multithreaded jobs
because they don't have sequence numbers.
Replace the per-CPU works with a preallocated pool, which allows sharing
them between existing padata users and the upcoming multithreaded user.
The pool will also facilitate setting NUMA-aware concurrency limits with
later users.
The pool is sized according to the number of possible CPUs. With this
limit, MAX_OBJ_NUM no longer makes sense, so remove it.
If the global pool is exhausted, a parallel job is run in the current task
instead to throttle a system trying to do too much in parallel.

padata will soon initialize the system's struct pages in parallel, so it
needs to be ready by page_alloc_init_late().
The error return from padata_driver_init() triggers an initcall warning,
so add a warning to padata_init() to avoid silent failure.

Patch series "padata: parallelize deferred page init", v3.
Deferred struct page init is a bottleneck in kernel boot--the biggest for
us and probably others. Optimizing it maximizes availability for
large-memory systems and allows spinning up short-lived VMs as needed
without having to leave them running. It also benefits bare metal
machines hosting VMs that are sensitive to downtime. In projects such as
VMM Fast Restart[1], where guest state is preserved across kexec reboot,
it helps prevent application and network timeouts in the guests.
So, multithread deferred init to take full advantage of system memory
bandwidth.
Extend padata, a framework that handles many parallel singlethreaded jobs,
to handle multithreaded jobs as well by adding support for splitting up
the work evenly, specifying a minimum amount of work that's appropriate
for one helper thread to do, load balancing between helpers, and
coordinating them. More documentation in patches 4 and 8.
This series is the first step in a project to address other memory
proportional bottlenecks in the kernel such as pmem struct page init, vfio
page pinning, hugetlb fallocate, and munmap. Deferred page init doesn't
require concurrency limits, resource control, or priority adjustments like
these other users will because it happens during boot when the system is
otherwise idle and waiting for page init to finish.
This has been run on a variety of x86 systems and speeds up kernel boot by
4% to 49%, saving up to 1.6 out of 4 seconds. Patch 6 has more numbers.
This patch (of 8):
padata_driver_exit() is unnecessary because padata isn't built as a module
and doesn't exit.
padata's init routine will soon allocate memory, so getting rid of the
exit function now avoids pointless code to free it.

Now that deferred pages are initialized with interrupts enabled we can
replace touch_nmi_watchdog() with cond_resched(), as it was before
3a2d7fa8a3d5.
For now, we cannot do the same in deferred_grow_zone() as it is still
initializes pages with interrupts disabled.

Initializing struct pages is a long task and keeping interrupts disabled
for the duration of this operation introduces a number of problems.
1. jiffies are not updated for long period of time, and thus incorrect time
is reported. See proposed solution and discussion here:
lkml/20200311123848.118638-1-shile.zhang@linux.alibaba.com
2. It prevents farther improving deferred page initialization by allowing
intra-node multi-threading.
We are keeping interrupts disabled to solve a rather theoretical problem
that was never observed in real world (See 3a2d7fa8a3d5).
Let's keep interrupts enabled. In case we ever encounter a scenario where
an interrupt thread wants to allocate large amount of memory this early in
boot we can deal with that by growing zone (see deferred_grow_zone()) by
the needed amount before starting deferred_init_memmap() threads.
Before:
[ 1.232459] node 0 initialised, 12058412 pages in 1ms
After:
[ 1.632580] node 0 initialised, 12051227 pages in 436ms

deferred init
Patch series "initialize deferred pages with interrupts enabled", v4.
Keep interrupts enabled during deferred page initialization in order to
make code more modular and allow jiffies to update.
Original approach, and discussion can be found here:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200311123848.118638-1-shile.zhang@linux.alibaba.com
This patch (of 3):
deferred_init_memmap() disables interrupts the entire time, so it calls
touch_nmi_watchdog() periodically to avoid soft lockup splats. Soon it
will run with interrupts enabled, at which point cond_resched() should be
used instead.
deferred_grow_zone() makes the same watchdog calls through code shared
with deferred init but will continue to run with interrupts disabled, so
it can't call cond_resched().
Pull the watchdog calls up to these two places to allow the first to be
changed later, independently of the second. The frequency reduces from
twice per pageblock (init and free) to once per max order block.

Updating the zone watermarks by any means, like min_free_kbytes,
water_mark_scale_factor etc, when ->watermark_boost is set will result in
higher low and high watermarks than the user asked.
Below are the steps to reproduce the problem on system setup of Android
kernel running on Snapdragon hardware.
1) Default settings of the system are as below:
#cat /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes = 5162
#cat /proc/zoneinfo | grep -e boost -e low -e "high " -e min -e Node
Node 0, zone Normal
min 797
low 8340
high 8539
2) Monitor the zone->watermark_boost(by adding a debug print in the
kernel) and whenever it is greater than zero value, write the same
value of min_free_kbytes obtained from step 1.
#echo 5162 > /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes
3) Then read the zone watermarks in the system while the
->watermark_boost is zero. This should show the same values of
watermarks as step 1 but shown a higher values than asked.
#cat /proc/zoneinfo | grep -e boost -e low -e "high " -e min -e Node
Node 0, zone Normal
min 797
low 21148
high 21347
These higher values are because of updating the zone watermarks using the
macro min_wmark_pages(zone) which also adds the zone->watermark_boost.
#define min_wmark_pages(z) (z->_watermark[WMARK_MIN] +
z->watermark_boost)
So the steps that lead to the issue are:
1) On the extfrag event, watermarks are boosted by storing the required
value in ->watermark_boost.
2) User tries to update the zone watermarks level in the system through
min_free_kbytes or watermark_scale_factor.
3) Later, when kswapd woke up, it resets the zone->watermark_boost to
zero.
In step 2), we use the min_wmark_pages() macro to store the watermarks
in the zone structure thus the values are always offsetted by
->watermark_boost value. This can be avoided by resetting the
->watermark_boost to zero before it is used.

Initially, the per-cpu pagesets of each zone are set to the boot pagesets.
The real pagesets are allocated later but before that happens, page
allocations do occur and the numa stats for the boot pagesets get
incremented since they are common to all zones at that point.
The real pagesets, however, are allocated for the populated zones only.
Unpopulated zones, like those associated with memory-less nodes, continue
using the boot pageset and end up skewing the numa stats of the
corresponding node.
E.g.
$ numactl -H
available: 2 nodes (0-1)
node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3
node 0 size: 0 MB
node 0 free: 0 MB
node 1 cpus: 4 5 6 7
node 1 size: 8131 MB
node 1 free: 6980 MB
node distances:
node 0 1
0: 10 40
1: 40 10
$ numastat
node0 node1
numa_hit 108 56495
numa_miss 0 0
numa_foreign 0 0
interleave_hit 0 4537
local_node 108 31547
other_node 0 24948
Hence, the boot pageset stats need to be cleared after the real pagesets
are allocated.
After this point, the stats of the boot pagesets do not change as page
allocations requested for a memory-less node will either fail (if
__GFP_THISNODE is used) or get fulfilled by a preferred zone of a
different node based on the fallback zonelist.

classzone_idx is just different name for high_zoneidx now. So, integrate
them and add some comment to struct alloc_context in order to reduce
future confusion about the meaning of this variable.
The accessor, ac_classzone_idx() is also removed since it isn't needed
after integration.
In addition to integration, this patch also renames high_zoneidx to
highest_zoneidx since it represents more precise meaning.

Patch series "integrate classzone_idx and high_zoneidx", v5.
This patchset is followup of the problem reported and discussed two years
ago [1, 2]. The problem this patchset solves is related to the
classzone_idx on the NUMA system. It causes a problem when the lowmem
reserve protection exists for some zones on a node that do not exist on
other nodes.
This problem was reported two years ago, and, at that time, the solution
got general agreements [2]. But it was not upstreamed.

[2]: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1525408246-14768-1-git-send-email-iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com
This patch (of 2):
Currently, we use classzone_idx to calculate lowmem reserve proetection
for an allocation request. This classzone_idx causes a problem on NUMA
systems when the lowmem reserve protection exists for some zones on a node
that do not exist on other nodes.
Before further explanation, I should first clarify how to compute the
classzone_idx and the high_zoneidx.
- ac->high_zoneidx is computed via the arcane gfp_zone(gfp_mask) and
represents the index of the highest zone the allocation can use
- classzone_idx was supposed to be the index of the highest zone on the
local node that the allocation can use, that is actually available in
the system
Think about following example. Node 0 has 4 populated zone,
DMA/DMA32/NORMAL/MOVABLE. Node 1 has 1 populated zone, NORMAL. Some
zones, such as MOVABLE, doesn't exist on node 1 and this makes following
difference.
Assume that there is an allocation request whose gfp_zone(gfp_mask) is the
zone, MOVABLE. Then, it's high_zoneidx is 3. If this allocation is
initiated on node 0, it's classzone_idx is 3 since actually
available/usable zone on local (node 0) is MOVABLE. If this allocation is
initiated on node 1, it's classzone_idx is 2 since actually
available/usable zone on local (node 1) is NORMAL.
You can see that classzone_idx of the allocation request are different
according to their starting node, even if their high_zoneidx is the same.
Think more about these two allocation requests. If they are processed on
local, there is no problem. However, if allocation is initiated on node 1
are processed on remote, in this example, at the NORMAL zone on node 0,
due to memory shortage, problem occurs. Their different classzone_idx
leads to different lowmem reserve and then different min watermark. See
the following example.

- static min watermark for the NORMAL zone on node 0 is 750.
- lowmem reserve for the request with classzone idx 3 at the NORMAL on
node 0 is 4096.
- lowmem reserve for the request with classzone idx 2 at the NORMAL on
node 0 is 0.
So, overall min watermark is:
allocation initiated on node 0 (classzone_idx 3): 750 + 4096 = 4846
allocation initiated on node 1 (classzone_idx 2): 750 + 0 = 750
Allocation initiated on node 1 will have some precedence than allocation
initiated on node 0 because min watermark of the former allocation is
lower than the other. So, allocation initiated on node 1 could succeed on
node 0 when allocation initiated on node 0 could not, and, this could
cause too many numa_miss allocation. Then, performance could be
downgraded.
Recently, there was a regression report about this problem on CMA patches
since CMA memory are placed in ZONE_MOVABLE by those patches. I checked
that problem is disappeared with this fix that uses high_zoneidx for
classzone_idx.
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180102063528.GG30397@yexl-desktop
Using high_zoneidx for classzone_idx is more consistent way than previous
approach because system's memory layout doesn't affect anything to it.
With this patch, both classzone_idx on above example will be 3 so will
have the same min watermark.
allocation initiated on node 0: 750 + 4096 = 4846
allocation initiated on node 1: 750 + 4096 = 4846
One could wonder if there is a side effect that allocation initiated on
node 1 will use higher bar when allocation is handled on local since
classzone_idx could be higher than before. It will not happen because the
zone without managed page doesn't contributes lowmem_reserve at all.
