Commit 14aa8b2d5c2e ("mm/mglru: don't sync disk for each aging cycle")
removed the opportunity to wake up flushers during the MGLRU page
reclamation process can lead to an increased likelihood of triggering OOM
when encountering many dirty pages during reclamation on MGLRU.
This leads to premature OOM if there are too many dirty pages in cgroup:

The flusher wake up was removed to decrease SSD wearing, but if we are
seeing all dirty folios at the tail of an LRU, not waking up the flusher
could lead to thrashing easily. So wake it up when a memcg is about to
OOM due to dirty caches.
I did run the build kernel test[1] on V6, with -j16 1G memcg on my local
branch:

While updating the generation of the folios, MGLRU requires that the
folio's memcg association remains stable. With the charge migration
deprecated, there is no need for MGLRU to acquire locks to keep the folio
and memcg association stable.

When a folio is activated, lru_gen_add_folio() moves the folio to the
youngest generation. But unlike folio_update_gen()/folio_inc_gen(),
lru_gen_add_folio() doesn't reset the folio lru tier bits (LRU_REFS_MASK |
LRU_REFS_FLAGS). This inconsistency can affect how pages are aged via
folio_mark_accessed() (e.g. fd accesses), though no user visible impact
related to this has been detected yet.
Note that lru_gen_add_folio() cannot clear PG_workingset if the activation
is due to workingset refault, otherwise PSI accounting will be skipped.
So fix lru_gen_add_folio() to clear the lru tier bits other than
PG_workingset when activating a folio, and also clear all the lru tier
bits when a folio is activated via folio_activate() in
lru_gen_look_around().

reclaim_folio_list uses a dummy reclaim_stat and is not being used. To
know the memory stat, add a new trace event. This is useful how how many
pages are not reclaimed or why.
This is an example:
mm_vmscan_reclaim_pages: nid=0 nr_scanned=112 nr_reclaimed=112 nr_dirty=0 nr_writeback=0 nr_congested=0 nr_immediate=0 nr_activate_anon=0 nr_activate_file=0 nr_ref_keep=0 nr_unmap_fail=0
Currently reclaim_folio_list is only called by reclaim_pages, and
reclaim_pages is used by damon and madvise. In the latest Android,
reclaim_pages is also used by shmem to reclaim all pages in a
address_space.

In commit 246d3aa3e531 ("mm: cleanup count_mthp_stat() definition"), Ryan
Roberts has pointed out the merits of mm code that does not require THP,
to be compile-able without requiring THP ifdefs. As a step in that
direction, he has moved count_mthp_stat() to be always defined, resolving
to a no-op if THP is not defined.
Barry Song referred me to Ryan's commit when I was working on the "mm:
zswap swap-out of large folios" patch-series [1].
This patch propagates the benefits of the above change to page_io.c and
vmscan.c. As a result, there is one less reason to have the ifdef THP in
these code sections.

In walk_pte_range(), we may modify the pte entry after holding the ptl, so
convert it to using pte_offset_map_rw_nolock(). At this time, the
pte_same() check is not performed after the ptl held, so we should get
pmdval and do pmd_same() check to ensure the stability of pmd entry.

Recent changes are putting more pressure on THP deferred split queues:
under load revealing long-standing races, causing list_del corruptions,
"Bad page state"s and worse (I keep BUGs in both of those, so usually
don't get to see how badly they end up without). The relevant recent
changes being 6.8's mTHP, 6.10's mTHP swapout, and 6.12's mTHP swapin,
improved swap allocation, and underused THP splitting.
Before fixing locking: rename misleading folio_undo_large_rmappable(),
which does not undo large_rmappable, to folio_unqueue_deferred_split(),
which is what it does. But that and its out-of-line __callee are mm
internals of very limited usability: add comment and WARN_ON_ONCEs to
check usage; and return a bool to say if a deferred split was unqueued,
which can then be used in WARN_ON_ONCEs around safety checks (sparing
callers the arcane conditionals in __folio_unqueue_deferred_split()).
Just omit the folio_unqueue_deferred_split() from free_unref_folios(), all
of whose callers now call it beforehand (and if any forget then bad_page()
will tell) - except for its caller put_pages_list(), which itself no
longer has any callers (and will be deleted separately).
Swapout: mem_cgroup_swapout() has been resetting folio->memcg_data 0
without checking and unqueueing a THP folio from deferred split list;
which is unfortunate, since the split_queue_lock depends on the memcg
(when memcg is enabled); so swapout has been unqueueing such THPs later,
when freeing the folio, using the pgdat's lock instead: potentially
corrupting the memcg's list. __remove_mapping() has frozen refcount to 0
here, so no problem with calling folio_unqueue_deferred_split() before
resetting memcg_data.
That goes back to 5.4 commit 87eaceb3faa5 ("mm: thp: make deferred split
shrinker memcg aware"): which included a check on swapcache before adding
to deferred queue, but no check on deferred queue before adding THP to
swapcache. That worked fine with the usual sequence of events in reclaim
(though there were a couple of rare ways in which a THP on deferred queue
could have been swapped out), but 6.12 commit dafff3f4c850 ("mm: split
underused THPs") avoids splitting underused THPs in reclaim, which makes
swapcache THPs on deferred queue commonplace.
Keep the check on swapcache before adding to deferred queue? Yes: it is
no longer essential, but preserves the existing behaviour, and is likely
to be a worthwhile optimization (vmstat showed much more traffic on the
queue under swapping load if the check was removed); update its comment.
Memcg-v1 move (deprecated): mem_cgroup_move_account() has been changing
folio->memcg_data without checking and unqueueing a THP folio from the
deferred list, sometimes corrupting "from" memcg's list, like swapout.
Refcount is non-zero here, so folio_unqueue_deferred_split() can only be
used in a WARN_ON_ONCE to validate the fix, which must be done earlier:
mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range() first try to split the THP (splitting
of course unqueues), or skip it if that fails. Not ideal, but moving
charge has been requested, and khugepaged should repair the THP later:
nobody wants new custom unqueueing code just for this deprecated case.
The 87eaceb3faa5 commit did have the code to move from one deferred list
to another (but was not conscious of its unsafety while refcount non-0);
but that was removed by 5.6 commit fac0516b5534 ("mm: thp: don't need care
deferred split queue in memcg charge move path"), which argued that the
existence of a PMD mapping guarantees that the THP cannot be on a deferred
list. As above, false in rare cases, and now commonly false.
Backport to 6.11 should be straightforward. Earlier backports must take
care that other _deferred_list fixes and dependencies are included. There
is not a strong case for backports, but they can fix cornercases.

When the MM_WALK capability is enabled, memory that is mostly accessed by
a VM appears younger than it really is, therefore this memory will be less
likely to be evicted. Therefore, the presence of a running VM can
significantly increase swap-outs for non-VM memory, regressing the
performance for the rest of the system.
Fix this regression by always calling {ptep,pmdp}_clear_young_notify()
whenever we clear the young bits on PMDs/PTEs.

Patch series "mm: multi-gen LRU: Have secondary MMUs participate in
MM_WALK".
Today, the MM_WALK capability causes MGLRU to clear the young bit from
PMDs and PTEs during the page table walk before eviction, but MGLRU does
not call the clear_young() MMU notifier in this case. By not calling this
notifier, the MM walk takes less time/CPU, but it causes pages that are
accessed mostly through KVM / secondary MMUs to appear younger than they
should be.
We do call the clear_young() notifier today, but only when attempting to
evict the page, so we end up clearing young/accessed information less
frequently for secondary MMUs than for mm PTEs, and therefore they appear
younger and are less likely to be evicted. Therefore, memory that is
*not* being accessed mostly by KVM will be evicted *more* frequently,
worsening performance.
ChromeOS observed a tab-open latency regression when enabling MGLRU with a
setup that involved running a VM:
Tab-open latency histogram (ms)
Version p50 mean p95 p99 max
base 1315 1198 2347 3454 10319
mglru 2559 1311 7399 12060 43758
fix 1119 926 2470 4211 6947
This series replaces the final non-selftest patchs from this series[1],
which introduced a similar change (and a new MMU notifier) with KVM
optimizations. I'll send a separate series (to Sean and Paolo) for the
KVM optimizations.
This series also makes proactive reclaim with MGLRU possible for KVM
memory. I have verified that this functions correctly with the selftest
from [1], but given that that test is a KVM selftest, I'll send it with
the rest of the KVM optimizations later. Andrew, let me know if you'd
like to take the test now anyway.

This patch (of 2):
The removed stats, MM_LEAF_OLD and MM_NONLEAF_TOTAL, are not very helpful
and become more complicated to properly compute when adding
test/clear_young() notifiers in MGLRU's mm walk.

lru_gen_shrink_node() unconditionally clears kswapd_failures, which can
prevent kswapd from sleeping and cause 100% kswapd cpu usage even when
kswapd repeatedly fails to make progress in reclaim.
Only clear kswap_failures in lru_gen_shrink_node() if reclaim makes some
progress, similar to shrink_node().
I happened to run into this problem in one of my tests recently. It
requires a combination of several conditions: The allocator needs to
allocate a right amount of pages such that it can wake up kswapd
without itself being OOM killed; there is no memory for kswapd to
reclaim (My test disables swap and cleans page cache first); no other
process frees enough memory at the same time.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"Along with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series
in this pull request are:
- "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds
consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification.
- "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes -
mode code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.
- "mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik. No
functional changes - code cleanups only.
- "Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan. A small fix and a
little cleanup.
- "mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao. Code cleanups and
simplifications and .text shrinkage.
- "Kernel stack usage histogram" from Pasha Tatashin and Shakeel
Butt. This is a feature, it adds new feilds to /proc/vmstat such as

kstack_1k 3
kstack_2k 188
kstack_4k 11391
kstack_8k 243
kstack_16k 0
which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at
all used 16k. Useful for some system tuning things, but
partivularly useful for "the dynamic kernel stack project".
- "kmemleak: support for percpu memory leak detect" from Pavel
Tikhomirov. Teaches kmemleak to detect leaksage of percpu memory.
- "mm: memcg: page counters optimizations" from Roman Gushchin. "3
independent small optimizations of page counters".
- "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications" from
David Hildenbrand. Improves PTE/PMD splitlock detection, makes
powerpc/8xx work correctly by design rather than by accident.

Some folio conversions which make arch_make_page_accessible()
unneeded.
- "mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers" fro David
Finkel. Cleans up and fixes our handling of the resetting of the
cgroup/process peak-memory-use detector.

Pham. Some tuning to improve zswap's dynamic shrinker. Significant
reductions in swapin and improvements in performance are shown.
- "mm: Fix several issues with unaccepted memory" from Kirill
Shutemov. Improvements to the new unaccepted memory feature,
- "mm/mprotect: Fix dax puds" from Peter Xu. Implements mprotect on
DAX PUDs. This was missing, although nobody seems to have notied

Currently folio->_deferred_list is used to keep track of partially_mapped
folios that are going to be split under memory pressure. In the next
patch, all THPs that are faulted in and collapsed by khugepaged are also
going to be tracked using _deferred_list.
This patch introduces a pageflag to be able to distinguish between
partially mapped folios and others in the deferred_list at split time in
deferred_split_scan. Its needed as __folio_remove_rmap decrements
_mapcount, _large_mapcount and _entire_mapcount, hence it won't be
possible to distinguish between partially mapped folios and others in
deferred_split_scan.
Eventhough it introduces an extra flag to track if the folio is partially
mapped, there is no functional change intended with this patch and the
flag is not useful in this patch itself, it will become useful in the next
patch when _deferred_list has non partially mapped folios.

I found a regression on mm-unstable during my swap stress test, using
tmpfs to compile linux. The test OOM very soon after the make spawns many
cc processes.
It bisects down to this change: 33dfe9204f29b415bbc0abb1a50642d1ba94f5e9
(mm/gup: clear the LRU flag of a page before adding to LRU batch)
Yu Zhao propose the fix: "I think this is one of the potential side
effects -- Huge mentioned earlier about isolate_lru_folios():"
I test that with it the swap stress test no longer OOM.

The ability to observe the demotion and promotion decisions made by the
kernel on a per-cgroup basis is important for monitoring and tuning
containerized workloads on machines equipped with tiered memory.
Different containers in the system may experience drastically different
memory tiering actions that cannot be distinguished from the global
counters alone.
For example, a container running a workload that has a much hotter memory
accesses will likely see more promotions and fewer demotions, potentially
depriving a colocated container of top tier memory to such an extent that
its performance degrades unacceptably.
For another example, some containers may exhibit longer periods between
data reuse, causing much more numa_hint_faults than numa_pages_migrated.
In this case, tuning hot_threshold_ms may be appropriate, but the signal
can easily be lost if only global counters are available.
In the long term, we hope to introduce per-cgroup control of promotion and
demotion actions to implement memory placement policies in tiering.
This patch set adds seven counters to memory.stat in a cgroup:
numa_pages_migrated, numa_pte_updates, numa_hint_faults, pgdemote_kswapd,
pgdemote_khugepaged, pgdemote_direct and pgpromote_success. pgdemote_*
and pgpromote_success are also available in memory.numa_stat.
count_memcg_events_mm() is added to count multiple event occurrences at
once, and get_mem_cgroup_from_folio() is added because we need to get a
reference to the memcg of a folio before it's migrated to track
numa_pages_migrated. The accounting of PGDEMOTE_* is moved to
shrink_inactive_list() before being changed to per-cgroup.

Shmem will support large folio allocation [1] [2] to get a better
performance, however, the memory reclaim still splits the precious large
folios when trying to swap out shmem, which may lead to the memory
fragmentation issue and can not take advantage of the large folio for
shmeme.
Moreover, the swap code already supports for swapping out large folio
without split, hence this patch set supports the large folio swap out for
shmem.
Note the i915_gem_shmem driver still need to be split when swapping, thus
add a new flag 'split_large_folio' for writeback_control to indicate
spliting the large folio.

The Meta prod is seeing large amount of stalls in memcg stats flush from
the memcg reclaim code path. At the moment, this specific callsite is
doing a synchronous memcg stats flush. The rstat flush is an expensive
and time consuming operation, so concurrent relaimers will busywait on the
lock potentially for a long time. Actually this issue is not unique to
Meta and has been observed by Cloudflare [1] as well. For the Cloudflare
case, the stalls were due to contention between kswapd threads running on
their 8 numa node machines which does not make sense as rstat flush is
global and flush from one kswapd thread should be sufficient for all.
Simply replace the synchronous flush with the ratelimited one.
One may raise a concern on potentially using 2 sec stale (at worst) stats
for heuristics like desirable inactive:active ratio and preferring
inactive file pages over anon pages but these specific heuristics do not
require very precise stats and also are ignored under severe memory
pressure.
More specifically for this code path, the stats are needed for two
specific heuristics:
1. Deactivate LRUs
2. Cache trim mode
The deactivate LRUs heuristic is to maintain a desirable inactive:active
ratio of the LRUs. The specific stats needed are WORKINGSET_ACTIVATE* and
the hierarchical LRU size. The WORKINGSET_ACTIVATE* is needed to check if
there is a refault since last snapshot and the LRU size are needed for the
desirable ratio between inactive and active LRUs. See the table below on
how the desirable ratio is calculated.
/* total target max
* memory ratio inactive
* -------------------------------------
* 10MB 1 5MB
* 100MB 1 50MB
* 1GB 3 250MB
* 10GB 10 0.9GB
* 100GB 31 3GB
* 1TB 101 10GB
* 10TB 320 32GB
*/
The desirable ratio only changes at the boundary of 1 GiB, 10 GiB, 100
GiB, 1 TiB and 10 TiB. There is no need for the precise and accurate LRU
size information to calculate this ratio. In addition, if deactivation is
skipped for some LRU, the kernel will force deactive on the severe memory
pressure situation.
For the cache trim mode, inactive file LRU size is read and the kernel
scales it down based on the reclaim iteration (file >> sc->priority) and
only checks if it is zero or not. Again precise information is not
needed.
This patch has been running on Meta fleet for several months and we have
not observed any issues. Please note that MGLRU is not impacted by this
issue at all as it avoids rstat flushing completely.

When non-leaf pmd accessed bits are available, MGLRU page table walks can
clear the non-leaf pmd accessed bit and ignore the accessed bit on the pte
if it's on a different node, skipping a generation update as well. If
another scan occurs on the same node as said skipped pte.
The non-leaf pmd accessed bit might remain cleared and the pte accessed
bits won't be checked. While this is sufficient for reclaim-driven aging,
where the goal is to select a reasonably cold page, the access can be
missed when aging proactively for workingset estimation of a node/memcg.
In more detail, get_pfn_folio returns NULL if the folio's nid != node
under scanning, so the page table walk skips processing of said pte. Now
the pmd_young flag on this pmd is cleared, and if none of the pte's are
accessed before another scan occurs on the folio's node, the pmd_young
check fails and the pte accessed bit is skipped.
Since force_scan disables various other optimizations, we check force_scan
to ignore the non-leaf pmd accessed bit.

The releasing process of the non-shared anonymous folio mapped solely by
an exiting process may go through two flows: 1) the anonymous folio is
firstly is swaped-out into swapspace and transformed into a swp_entry in
shrink_folio_list; 2) then the swp_entry is released in the process
exiting flow. This will result in the high cpu load of releasing a
non-shared anonymous folio mapped solely by an exiting process.
When the low system memory and the exiting process exist at the same time,
it will be likely to happen, because the non-shared anonymous folio mapped
solely by an exiting process may be reclaimed by shrink_folio_list.
This patch is that shrink skips the non-shared anonymous folio solely
mapped by an exting process and this folio is only released directly in
the process exiting flow, which will save swap-out time and alleviate the
load of the process exiting.
Barry provided some effectiveness testing in [1]. "I observed that
this patch effectively skipped 6114 folios (either 4KB or 64KB mTHP),
potentially reducing the swap-out by up to 92MB (97,300,480 bytes)
during the process exit. The working set size is 256MB."

/proc/vmstat currently shows the number of node_reclaim() failures when
vm.zone_reclaim_mode is set appropriately. It would be convenient to have
the number of successes right next to zone_reclaim_failed (similar to
compaction and migration).
While just a trivially addition to the vmstat file. It was helpful during
benchmarking to not have to probe node_reclaim() to observe the
success/failure ratio.

This reverts commit 5da226dbfce3 ("mm: skip CMA pages when they are not
available") and b7108d66318a ("Multi-gen LRU: skip CMA pages when they are
not eligible").
lruvec->lru_lock is highly contended and is held when calling
isolate_lru_folios. If the lru has a large number of CMA folios
consecutively, while the allocation type requested is not MIGRATE_MOVABLE,
isolate_lru_folios can hold the lock for a very long time while it skips
those. For FIO workload, ~150million order=0 folios were skipped to
isolate a few ZONE_DMA folios [1]. This can cause lockups [1] and high
memory pressure for extended periods of time [2].
Remove skipping CMA for MGLRU as well, as it was introduced in sort_folio
for the same resaon as 5da226dbfce3a2f44978c2c7cf88166e69a6788b.

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
"This adds getrandom() support to the vDSO.
First, it adds a new kind of mapping to mmap(2), MAP_DROPPABLE, which
lets the kernel zero out pages anytime under memory pressure, which
enables allocating memory that never gets swapped to disk but also
doesn't count as being mlocked.
Then, the vDSO implementation of getrandom() is introduced in a
generic manner and hooked into random.c.
Next, this is implemented on x86. (Also, though it's not ready for
this pull, somebody has begun an arm64 implementation already)
Finally, two vDSO selftests are added.
There are also two housekeeping cleanup commits"
* tag 'random-6.11-rc1-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random:
MAINTAINERS: add random.h headers to RNG subsection
random: note that RNDGETPOOL was removed in 2.6.9-rc2
selftests/vDSO: add tests for vgetrandom
x86: vdso: Wire up getrandom() vDSO implementation
random: introduce generic vDSO getrandom() implementation
mm: add MAP_DROPPABLE for designating always lazily freeable mappings
|
|
The vDSO getrandom() implementation works with a buffer allocated with a
new system call that has certain requirements:
- It shouldn't be written to core dumps.
* Easy: VM_DONTDUMP.
- It should be zeroed on fork.
* Easy: VM_WIPEONFORK.
- It shouldn't be written to swap.
* Uh-oh: mlock is rlimited.
* Uh-oh: mlock isn't inherited by forks.
- It shouldn't reserve actual memory, but it also shouldn't crash when
page faulting in memory if none is available
* Uh-oh: VM_NORESERVE means segfaults.
It turns out that the vDSO getrandom() function has three really nice
characteristics that we can exploit to solve this problem:
1) Due to being wiped during fork(), the vDSO code is already robust to
having the contents of the pages it reads zeroed out midway through
the function's execution.
2) In the absolute worst case of whatever contingency we're coding for,
we have the option to fallback to the getrandom() syscall, and
everything is fine.
3) The buffers the function uses are only ever useful for a maximum of
60 seconds -- a sort of cache, rather than a long term allocation.
These characteristics mean that we can introduce VM_DROPPABLE, which
has the following semantics:
a) It never is written out to swap.
b) Under memory pressure, mm can just drop the pages (so that they're
zero when read back again).
c) It is inherited by fork.
d) It doesn't count against the mlock budget, since nothing is locked.
e) If there's not enough memory to service a page fault, it's not fatal,
and no signal is sent.
This way, allocations used by vDSO getrandom() can use:
VM_DROPPABLE | VM_DONTDUMP | VM_WIPEONFORK | VM_NORESERVE
And there will be no problem with OOMing, crashing on overcommitment,
using memory when not in use, not wiping on fork(), coredumps, or
writing out to swap.
In order to let vDSO getrandom() use this, expose these via mmap(2) as
MAP_DROPPABLE.
Note that this involves removing the MADV_FREE special case from
sort_folio(), which according to Yu Zhao is unnecessary and will simply
result in an extra call to shrink_folio_list() in the worst case. The
chunk removed reenables the swapbacked flag, which we don't want for
VM_DROPPABLE, and we can't conditionalize it here because there isn't a
vma reference available.
Finally, the provided self test ensures that this is working as desired.

mem_cgroup_calculate_protection() is not stateless and should only be used
as part of a top-down tree traversal. shrink_one() traverses the per-node
memcg LRU instead of the root_mem_cgroup tree, and therefore it should not
call mem_cgroup_calculate_protection().
The existing misuse in shrink_one() can cause ineffective protection of
sub-trees that are grandchildren of root_mem_cgroup. Fix it by reusing
lru_gen_age_node(), which already traverses the root_mem_cgroup tree, to
calculate the protection.
Previously lru_gen_age_node() opportunistically skips the first pass,
i.e., when scan_control->priority is DEF_PRIORITY. On the second pass,
lruvec_is_sizable() uses appropriate scan_control->priority, set by
set_initial_priority() from lru_gen_shrink_node(), to decide whether a
memcg is too small to reclaim from.
Now lru_gen_age_node() unconditionally traverses the root_mem_cgroup tree.
So it should call set_initial_priority() upfront, to make sure
lruvec_is_sizable() uses appropriate scan_control->priority on the first
pass. Otherwise, lruvec_is_reclaimable() can return false negatives and
result in premature OOM kills when min_ttl_ms is used.

set_initial_priority() tries to jump-start global reclaim by estimating
the priority based on cold/hot LRU pages. The estimation does not account
for shrinker objects, and it cannot do so because their sizes can be in
different units other than page.
If shrinker objects are the majority, e.g., on TrueNAS SCALE 24.04.0 where
ZFS ARC can use almost all system memory, set_initial_priority() can
vastly underestimate how much memory ARC shrinker can evict and assign
extreme low values to scan_control->priority, resulting in overshoots of
shrinker objects.
To reproduce the problem, using TrueNAS SCALE 24.04.0 with 32GB DRAM, a
test ZFS pool and the following commands:
fio --name=mglru.file --numjobs=36 --ioengine=io_uring \
--directory=/root/test-zfs-pool/ --size=1024m --buffered=1 \
--rw=randread --random_distribution=random \
--time_based --runtime=1h &
for ((i = 0; i < 20; i++))
do
sleep 120
fio --name=mglru.anon --numjobs=16 --ioengine=mmap \
--filename=/dev/zero --size=1024m --fadvise_hint=0 \
--rw=randrw --random_distribution=random \
--time_based --runtime=1m
done
To fix the problem:
1. Cap scan_control->priority at or above DEF_PRIORITY/2, to prevent
the jump-start from being overly aggressive.
2. Account for the progress from mm_account_reclaimed_pages(), to
prevent kswapd_shrink_node() from raising the priority
unnecessarily.

evict_folios() uses a second pass to reclaim folios that have gone through
page writeback and become clean before it finishes the first pass, since
folio_rotate_reclaimable() cannot handle those folios due to the
isolation.
The second pass tries to avoid potential double counting by deducting
scan_control->nr_scanned. However, this can result in underflow of
nr_scanned, under a condition where shrink_folio_list() does not increment
nr_scanned, i.e., when folio_trylock() fails.
The underflow can cause the divisor, i.e., scale=scanned+reclaimed in
vmpressure_calc_level(), to become zero, resulting in the following crash:
[exception RIP: vmpressure_work_fn+101]
process_one_work at ffffffffa3313f2b
Since scan_control->nr_scanned has no established semantics, the potential
double counting has minimal risks. Therefore, fix the problem by not
deducting scan_control->nr_scanned in evict_folios().

The optimization of list_empty(&folio->_deferred_list) aimed to prevent
increasing the PTL duration when a large folio is partially unmapped, for
example, from subpage 0 to subpage (nr - 2).
But Ryan's commit 5ed890ce5147 ("mm: vmscan: avoid split during
shrink_folio_list()") actually splits this kind of large folios. This
makes the "optimization" useless.
Additionally, the list_empty() technically required a data_race()
annotation.

Allow proactive reclaimers to submit an additional swappiness=<val>
argument to memory.reclaim. This overrides the global or per-memcg
swappiness setting for that reclaim attempt.
For example:
echo "2M swappiness=0" > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory.reclaim
will perform reclaim on the rootcg with a swappiness setting of 0 (no
swap) regardless of the vm.swappiness sysctl setting.
Userspace proactive reclaimers use the memory.reclaim interface to trigger
reclaim. The memory.reclaim interface does not allow for any way to
effect the balance of file vs anon during proactive reclaim. The only
approach is to adjust the vm.swappiness setting. However, there are a few
reasons we look to control the balance of file vs anon during proactive
reclaim, separately from reactive reclaim:
* Swapout should be limited to manage SSD write endurance. In near-OOM
situations we are fine with lots of swap-out to avoid OOMs. As these
are typically rare events, they have relatively little impact on write
endurance. However, proactive reclaim runs continuously and so its
impact on SSD write endurance is more significant. Therefore it is
desireable to control swap-out for proactive reclaim separately from
reactive reclaim
* Some userspace OOM killers like systemd-oomd[1] support OOM killing on
swap exhaustion. This makes sense if the swap exhaustion is triggered
due to reactive reclaim but less so if it is triggered due to proactive
reclaim (e.g. one could see OOMs when free memory is ample but anon is
just particularly cold). Therefore, it's desireable to have proactive
reclaim reduce or stop swap-out before the threshold at which OOM
killing occurs.
In the case of Meta's Senpai proactive reclaimer, we adjust vm.swappiness
before writes to memory.reclaim[2]. This has been in production for
nearly two years and has addressed our needs to control proactive vs
reactive reclaim behavior but is still not ideal for a number of reasons:
* vm.swappiness is a global setting, adjusting it can race/interfere
with other system administration that wishes to control vm.swappiness.
In our case, we need to disable Senpai before adjusting vm.swappiness.
* vm.swappiness is stateful - so a crash or restart of Senpai can leave
a misconfigured setting. This requires some additional management to
record the "desired" setting and ensure Senpai always adjusts to it.
With this patch, we avoid these downsides of adjusting vm.swappiness
globally.

record the "desired" setting and ensure Senpai always adjusts to it.
With this patch, we avoid these downsides of adjusting vm.swappiness
globally.
Previously, this exact interface addition was proposed by Yosry[3]. In
response, Roman proposed instead an interface to specify precise
file/anon/slab reclaim amounts[4]. More recently Huan also proposed this
as well[5] and others similarly questioned if this was the proper
interface.
Previous proposals sought to use this to allow proactive reclaimers to
effectively perform a custom reclaim algorithm by issuing proactive
reclaim with different settings to control file vs anon reclaim (e.g. to
only reclaim anon from some applications). Responses argued that
adjusting swappiness is a poor interface for custom reclaim.
In contrast, I argue in favor of a swappiness setting not as a way to
implement custom reclaim algorithms but rather to bias the balance of anon
vs file due to differences of proactive vs reactive reclaim. In this
context, swappiness is the existing interface for controlling this balance
and this patch simply allows for it to be configured differently for
proactive vs reactive reclaim.
Specifying explicit amounts of anon vs file pages to reclaim feels
inappropriate for this prupose. Proactive reclaimers are un-aware of the
relative age of file vs anon for a cgroup which makes it difficult to
manage proactive reclaim of different memory pools. A proactive reclaimer
would need some amount of anon reclaim attempts separate from the amount
of file reclaim attempts which seems brittle given that it's difficult to
observe the impact.

In addition, move all the checks into header file to save a function call

Patch series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory", v6.
Introduction
============
With the advent of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM, which will be called simply as
CXL memory in this cover letter, some systems are becoming more
heterogeneous having memory systems with different latency and bandwidth
characteristics. They are usually handled as different NUMA nodes in
separate memory tiers and CXL memory is used as slow tiers because of its
protocol overhead compared to local DRAM.
In this kind of systems, we need to be careful placing memory pages on
proper NUMA nodes based on the memory access frequency. Otherwise, some
frequently accessed pages might reside on slow tiers and it makes
performance degradation unexpectedly. Moreover, the memory access
patterns can be changed at runtime.
To handle this problem, we need a way to monitor the memory access
patterns and migrate pages based on their access temperature. The
DAMON(Data Access MONitor) framework and its DAMOS(DAMON-based Operation
Schemes) can be useful features for monitoring and migrating pages. DAMOS
provides multiple actions based on DAMON monitoring results and it can be
used for proactive reclaim, which means swapping cold pages out with
DAMOS_PAGEOUT action, but it doesn't support migration actions such as
demotion and promotion between tiered memory nodes.
This series supports two new DAMOS actions; DAMOS_MIGRATE_HOT for
promotion from slow tiers and DAMOS_MIGRATE_COLD for demotion from fast
tiers. This prevents hot pages from being stuck on slow tiers, which
makes performance degradation and cold pages can be proactively demoted to
slow tiers so that the system can increase the chance to allocate more hot
pages to fast tiers.
The DAMON provides various tuning knobs but we found that the proactive
demotion for cold pages is especially useful when the system is running
out of memory on its fast tier nodes.
Our evaluation result shows that it reduces the performance slowdown
compared to the default memory policy from 11% to 3~5% when the system
runs under high memory pressure on its fast tier DRAM nodes.
DAMON configuration
===================
The specific DAMON configuration doesn't have to be in the scope of this
patch series, but some rough idea is better to be shared to explain the
evaluation result.
The DAMON provides many knobs for fine tuning but its configuration file
is generated by HMSDK[3]. It includes gen_config.py script that generates
a json file with the full config of DAMON knobs and it creates multiple
kdamonds for each NUMA node when the DAMON is enabled so that it can run
hot/cold based migration for tiered memory.
Evaluation Workload
===================
The performance evaluation is done with redis[4], which is a widely used
in-memory database and the memory access patterns are generated via
YCSB[5]. We have measured two different workloads with zipfian and latest
distributions but their configs are slightly modified to make memory usage
higher and execution time longer for better evaluation.
The idea of evaluation using these migrate_{hot,cold} actions covers
system-wide memory management rather than partitioning hot/cold pages of a
single workload. The default memory allocation policy creates pages to
the fast tier DRAM node first, then allocates newly created pages to the
slow tier CXL node when the DRAM node has insufficient free space. Once
the page allocation is done then those pages never move between NUMA
nodes. It's not true when using numa balancing, but it is not the scope
of this DAMON based tiered memory management support.
If the working set of redis can be fit fully into the DRAM node, then the
redis will access the fast DRAM only. Since the performance of DRAM only
is faster than partially accessing CXL memory in slow tiers, this
environment is not useful to evaluate this patch series.
To make pages of redis be distributed across fast DRAM node and slow CXL
node to evaluate our migrate_{hot,cold} actions, we pre-allocate some cold
memory externally using mmap and memset before launching redis-server. We
assumed that there are enough amount of cold memory in datacenters as
TMO[6] and TPP[7] papers mentioned.
The evaluation sequence is as follows.
1. Turn on DAMON with DAMOS_MIGRATE_COLD action for DRAM node and
DAMOS_MIGRATE_HOT action for CXL node. It demotes cold pages on DRAM
node and promotes hot pages on CXL node in a regular interval.
2. Allocate a huge block of cold memory by calling mmap and memset at
the fast tier DRAM node, then make the process sleep to make the fast
tier has insufficient space for redis-server.
3. Launch redis-server and load prebaked snapshot image, dump.rdb. The
redis-server consumes 52GB of anon pages and 33GB of file pages, but
due to the cold memory allocated at 2, it fails allocating the entire
memory of redis-server on the fast tier DRAM node so it partially
allocates the remaining on the slow tier CXL node. The ratio of
DRAM:CXL depends on the size of the pre-allocated cold memory.
4. Run YCSB to make zipfian or latest distribution of memory accesses to
redis-server, then measure its execution time when it's completed.
5. Repeat 4 over 50 times to measure the average execution time for each
run.
6. Increase the cold memory size then repeat goes to 2.
For each test at 4 took about a minute so repeating it 50 times almost
took about 1 hour for each test with a specific cold memory from 440GB to
500GB in 10GB increments for each evaluation. So it took about more than
10 hours for both zipfian and latest workloads to get the entire
evaluation results. Repeating the same test set multiple times doesn't
show much difference so I think it might be enough to make the result
reliable.
Evaluation Results
==================
All the result values are normalized to DRAM-only execution time because
the workload cannot be faster than DRAM-only unless the workload hits the
peak bandwidth but our redis test doesn't go beyond the bandwidth limit.
So the DRAM-only execution time is the ideal result without affected by
the gap between DRAM and CXL performance difference. The NUMA node
environment is as follows.
node0 - local DRAM, 512GB with a CPU socket (fast tier)
node1 - disabled
node2 - CXL DRAM, 96GB, no CPU attached (slow tier)
The following is the result of generating zipfian distribution to
redis-server and the numbers are averaged by 50 times of execution.
1. YCSB zipfian distribution read only workload
memory pressure with cold memory on node0 with 512GB of local DRAM.

====================+================================================+=========
Each test result is based on the execution environment as follows.
DRAM-only: redis-server uses only local DRAM memory.
CXL-only: redis-server uses only CXL memory.
default: default memory policy(MPOL_DEFAULT).
numa balancing disabled.
DAMON tiered: DAMON enabled with DAMOS_MIGRATE_COLD for DRAM
nodes and DAMOS_MIGRATE_HOT for CXL nodes.
DAMON lazy: same as DAMON tiered, but turn on DAMON just
before making memory access request via YCSB.
The above result shows the "default" execution time goes up as the size of
cold memory is increased from 440G to 500G because the more cold memory
used, the more CXL memory is used for the target redis workload and this
makes the execution time increase.
However, "DAMON tiered" and other DAMON results show less slowdown because
the DAMOS_MIGRATE_COLD action at DRAM node proactively demotes
pre-allocated cold memory to CXL node and this free space at DRAM
increases more chance to allocate hot or warm pages of redis-server to
fast DRAM node. Moreover, DAMOS_MIGRATE_HOT action at CXL node also
promotes hot pages of redis-server to DRAM node actively.
As a result, it makes more memory of redis-server stay in DRAM node
compared to "default" memory policy and this makes the performance
improvement.
Please note that the result numbers of "DAMON tiered" and "DAMON lazy" at
500G are marked with * stars, which means their test results are replaced
with reproduced tests that didn't have OOM issue.
That was needed because sometimes the test processes get OOM when DRAM has
insufficient space. The DAMOS_MIGRATE_HOT doesn't kick reclaim but just
gives up migration when there is not enough space at DRAM side. The
problem happens when there is competition between normal allocation and
migration and the migration is done before normal allocation, then the
completely unrelated normal allocation can trigger reclaim, which incurs
OOM.
Because of this issue, I have also tested more cases with
"demotion_enabled" flag enabled to make such reclaim doesn't trigger OOM,
but just demote reclaimed pages. The following test results show more
tests with "kswapd" marked.

kswapd or direct reclaim does demotion.
DAMON lazy kswapd: same as DAMON lazy, but turn on
/sys/kernel/mm/numa/demotion_enabled to make
kswapd or direct reclaim does demotion.
The "DAMON tiered kswapd" and "DAMON lazy kswapd" didn't trigger OOM at
all unlike other tests because kswapd and direct reclaim from DRAM node
can demote reclaimed pages to CXL node independently from DAMON actions
and their results are slightly better than without having
"demotion_enabled".
In summary, the evaluation results show that DAMON memory management with
DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD} actions reduces the performance slowdown compared
to the "default" memory policy from 11% to 3~5% when the system runs with
high memory pressure on its fast tier DRAM nodes.
Having these DAMOS_MIGRATE_HOT and DAMOS_MIGRATE_COLD actions can make
tiered memory systems run more efficiently under high memory pressures.
This patch (of 7):
The alloc_demote_folio can be used out of vmscan.c so it'd be better to
remove static keyword from it.

Currently, reclaim always walks the entire cgroup tree in order to ensure
fairness between groups. While overreclaim is limited in shrink_lruvec(),
many of our systems have a sizable number of active groups, and an even
bigger number of idle cgroups with cache left behind by previous jobs; the
mere act of walking all these cgroups can impose significant latency on
direct reclaimers.
In the past, we've used a save-and-restore iterator that enabled
incremental tree walks over multiple reclaim invocations. This ensured
fairness, while keeping the work of individual reclaimers small.
However, in edge cases with a lot of reclaim concurrency, individual
reclaimers would sometimes not see enough of the cgroup tree to make
forward progress and (prematurely) declare OOM. Consequently we switched
to comprehensive walks in 1ba6fc9af35b ("mm: vmscan: do not share cgroup
iteration between reclaimers").
To address the latency problem without bringing back the premature OOM
issue, reinstate the shared iteration, but with a restart condition to do
the full walk in the OOM case - similar to what we do for memory.low
enforcement and active page protection.
In the worst case, we do one more full tree walk before declaring
OOM. But the vast majority of direct reclaim scans can then finish
much quicker, while fairness across the tree is maintained:
- Before this patch, we observed that direct reclaim always takes more
than 100us and most direct reclaim time is spent in reclaim cycles
lasting between 1ms and 1 second. Almost 40% of direct reclaim time
was spent on reclaim cycles exceeding 100ms.
- With this patch, almost all page reclaim cycles last less than 10ms,
and a good amount of direct page reclaim finishes in under 100us. No
page reclaim cycles lasting over 100ms were observed anymore.
The shared iterator state is maintaned inside the target cgroup, so
fair and incremental walks are performed during both global reclaim
and cgroup limit reclaim of complex subtrees.

The mTHP swap related counters: 'anon_swpout' and 'anon_swpout_fallback'
are confusing with an 'anon_' prefix, since the shmem can swap out
non-anonymous pages. So drop the 'anon_' prefix to keep consistent with
the old swap counter names.
This is needed in 6.10-rcX to avoid having an inconsistent ABI out in the
field.

This helps to display the fragmentation situation of the swapfile, knowing
the proportion of how much we haven't split large folios. So far, we only
support non-split swapout for anon memory, with the possibility of
expanding to shmem in the future. So, we add the "anon" prefix to the
counter names.

Now that swap supports storing all mTHP sizes, avoid splitting large
folios before swap-out. This benefits performance of the swap-out path by
eliding split_folio_to_list(), which is expensive, and also sets us up for
swapping in large folios in a future series.
If the folio is partially mapped, we continue to split it since we want to
avoid the extra IO overhead and storage of writing out pages
uneccessarily.
THP_SWPOUT and THP_SWPOUT_FALLBACK counters should continue to count
events only for PMD-mappable folios to avoid user confusion. THP_SWPOUT
already has the appropriate guard. Add a guard for THP_SWPOUT_FALLBACK.
It may be appropriate to add per-size counters in future.

Within try_to_unmap_one(), page_vma_mapped_walk() races with other PTE
modifications preceded by pte clear. While iterating over PTEs of a large
folio, it only starts acquiring PTL from the first valid (present) PTE.
PTE modifications can temporarily set PTEs to pte_none. Consequently, the
initial PTEs of a large folio might be skipped in try_to_unmap_one().
For example, for an anon folio, if we skip PTE0, we may have PTE0 which is
still present, while PTE1 ~ PTE(nr_pages - 1) are swap entries after
try_to_unmap_one().
So folio will be still mapped, the folio fails to be reclaimed and is put
back to LRU in this round.
This also breaks up PTEs optimization such as CONT-PTE on this large folio
and may lead to accident folio_split() afterwards. And since a part of
PTEs are now swap entries, accessing those parts will introduce overhead -
do_swap_page. Although the kernel can withstand all of the above issues,
the situation still seems quite awkward and warrants making it more ideal.
The same race also occurs with small folios, but they have only one PTE,
thus, it won't be possible for them to be partially unmapped.
This patch holds PTL from PTE0, allowing us to avoid reading PTE values
that are in the process of being transformed. With stable PTE values, we
can ensure that this large folio is either completely reclaimed or that
all PTEs remain untouched in this round.
A corner case is that if we hold PTL from PTE0 and most initial PTEs have
been really unmapped before that, we may increase the duration of holding
PTL. Thus we only apply this optimization to folios which are still
entirely mapped (not in deferred_split list).

Patch series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent", v2.
As discussed in previous thread [1], there is an inconsistency when
handling hugetlb migration. When handling the migration of freed hugetlb,
it prevents fallback to other NUMA nodes in
alloc_and_dissolve_hugetlb_folio(). However, when dealing with in-use
hugetlb, it allows fallback to other NUMA nodes in
alloc_hugetlb_folio_nodemask(), which can break the per-node hugetlb pool
and might result in unexpected failures when node bound workloads doesn't
get what is asssumed available.
This patchset tries to make the hugetlb migration strategy more clear
and consistent. Please find details in each patch.

With cache_trim_mode on, reclaim logic doesn't bother reclaiming anon
pages. However, it should be more careful to use the mode because it's
going to prevent anon pages from being reclaimed even if there are a huge
number of anon pages that are cold and should be reclaimed. Even worse,
that leads kswapd_failures to reach MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES and stopping
kswapd from functioning until direct reclaim eventually works to resume
kswapd.
So kswapd needs to retry its scan priority loop with cache_trim_mode off
again if the mode doesn't work for reclaim.
The problematic behavior can be reproduced by:
CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING enabled
sysctl_numa_balancing_mode set to NUMA_BALANCING_MEMORY_TIERING
numa node0 (8GB local memory, 16 CPUs)
numa node1 (8GB slow tier memory, no CPUs)
Sequence:
1) echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
2) To emulate the system with full of cold memory in local DRAM, run
the following dummy program and never touch the region:
mmap(0, 8 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_POPULATE, -1, 0);
3) Run any memory intensive work e.g. XSBench.
4) Check if numa balancing is working e.i. promotion/demotion.
5) Iterate 1) ~ 4) until numa balancing stops.
With this, you could see that promotion/demotion are not working because
kswapd has stopped due to ->kswapd_failures >= MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES.

When freeing a large folio, we must remove it from the deferred split list
before we uncharge it as each memcg has its own deferred split list (with
associated lock) and removing a folio from the deferred split list while
holding the wrong lock will corrupt that list and cause various related
problems.

Use free_unref_page_batch() to free the folios. This may increase the
number of IPIs from calling try_to_unmap_flush() more often, but that's
going to be very workload-dependent. It may even reduce the number of
IPIs as we now batch-free large folios instead of freeing them one at a
time.

While doing MADV_PAGEOUT, the current code will clear PTE young so that
vmscan won't read young flags to allow the reclamation of madvised folios
to go ahead. It seems we can do it by directly ignoring references, thus
we can remove tlb flush in madvise and rmap overhead in vmscan.
Regarding the side effect, in the original code, if a parallel thread runs
side by side to access the madvised memory with the thread doing madvise,
folios will get a chance to be re-activated by vmscan (though the time gap
is actually quite small since checking PTEs is done immediately after
clearing PTEs young). But with this patch, they will still be reclaimed.
But this behaviour doing PAGEOUT and doing access at the same time is
quite silly like DoS. So probably, we don't need to care. Or ignoring
the new access during the quite small time gap is even better.
For DAMON's DAMOS_PAGEOUT based on physical address region, we still keep
its behaviour as is since a physical address might be mapped by multiple
processes. MADV_PAGEOUT based on virtual address is actually much more
aggressive on reclamation. To untouch paddr's DAMOS_PAGEOUT, we simply
pass ignore_references as false in reclaim_pages().
A microbench as below has shown 6% decrement on the latency of
MADV_PAGEOUT,
#define PGSIZE 4096
main()
{
int i;
#define SIZE 512*1024*1024
volatile long *p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
for (i = 0; i < SIZE/sizeof(long); i += PGSIZE / sizeof(long))
p[i] = 0x11;
madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);
}
