Now we can see there is redundant goto for SSD case. In these two places, we can just let the code walk through to the correct tag instead of explicitly jump to it. Let's remove them for better readability. Signed-off-by:

The code shows if this is ssd, it will jump to specific tag and skip the following code for non-ssd. Let's use "else if" to explicitly show the mutually exclusion for ssd/non-ssd to reduce ambiguity. Signed-off-by:

Wei Yang authored
scan_swap_map_slots() is used to iterate swap_map[] array for an available swap entry. While after several optimizations, e.g. for ssd case, the logic of this function is a little not easy to catch. This patchset tries to clean up the logic a little: * shows the ssd/non-ssd case is handled mutually exclusively * remove some unnecessary goto for ssd case This patch (of 3): When si->cluster_nr is zero, function would reach done and return. The increased offset would not be used any more. This means we can move the offset increment into the if clause. This brings a further code cleanup possibility. Signed-off-by:

In unuse_pte_range() we blindly swap-in pages without checking if the swap entry is already present in the swap cache. By doing this, the hit/miss ratio used by the swap readahead heuristic is not properly updated and this leads to non-optimal performance during swapoff. Tracing the distribution of the readahead size returned by the swap readahead heuristic during swapoff shows that a small readahead size is used most of the time as if we had only misses (this happens both with cluster and vma readahead), for example: r::swapin_nr_pages(unsigned long offset):unsigned long:$retval COUNT EVENT 36948 $retval = 8 44151 $retval = 4 49290 $retval = 1 527771 $retval = 2 Checking if the swap entry is present in the swap cache, instead, allows to properly update the readahead statistics and the heuristic behaves in a better way during swapoff, selecting a bigger readahead size: r::swapin_nr_pages(unsigned long offset):unsigned long:$retval COUNT EVENT 1618 $retval = 1 4960 $retval = 2 41315 $retval = 4 103521 $retval = 8 In terms of swapoff performance the result is the following: Testing environment =================== - Host: CPU: 1.8GHz Intel Core i7-8565U (quad-core, 8MB cache) HDD: PC401 NVMe SK hynix 512GB MEM: 16GB - Guest (kvm): 8GB of RAM virtio block driver 16GB swap file on ext4 (/swapfile) Test case ========= - allocate 85% of memory - `systemctl hibernate` to force all the pages to be swapped-out to the swap file - resume the system - measure the time that swapoff takes to complete: # /usr/bin/time swapoff /swapfile Result (swapoff time) ====== 5.6 vanilla 5.6 w/ this patch ----------- ----------------- cluster-readahead 22.09s 12.19s vma-readahead 18.20s 15.33s Conclusion ========== The specific use case this patch is addressing is to improve swapoff performance in cloud environments when a VM has been hibernated, resumed and all the memory needs to be forced back to RAM by disabling swap. This change allows to better exploits the advantages of the readahead heuristic during swapoff and this improvement allows to to speed up the resume process of such VMs. [andrea.righi@canonical.com: update changelog] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200418084705.GA147642@xps-13Signed-off-by:Andrea Righi <andrea.righi@canonical.com> Signed-off-by:

This code was using get_user_pages*(), in a "Case 2" scenario (DMA/RDMA), using the categorization from [1]. That means that it's time to convert the get_user_pages*() + put_page() calls to pin_user_pages*() + unpin_user_pages() calls. There is some helpful background in [2]: basically, this is a small part of fixing a long-standing disconnect between pinning pages, and file systems' use of those pages.

After an NFS page has been written it is considered "unstable" until a COMMIT request succeeds. If the COMMIT fails, the page will be re-written. These "unstable" pages are currently accounted as "reclaimable", either in WB_RECLAIMABLE, or in NR_UNSTABLE_NFS which is included in a 'reclaimable' count. This might have made sense when sending the COMMIT required a separate action by the VFS/MM (e.g. releasepage() used to send a COMMIT). However now that all writes generated by ->writepages() will automatically be followed by a COMMIT (since commit 919e3bd9 ("NFS: Ensure we commit after writeback is complete")) it makes more sense to treat them as writeback pages. So this patch removes NR_UNSTABLE_NFS and accounts unstable pages in NR_WRITEBACK and WB_WRITEBACK. A particular effect of this change is that when wb_check_background_flush() calls wb_over_bg_threshold(), the latter will report 'true' a lot less often as the 'unstable' pages are no longer considered 'dirty' (as there is nothing that writeback can do about them anyway). Currently wb_check_background_flush() will trigger writeback to NFS even when there are relatively few dirty pages (if there are lots of unstable pages), this can result in small writes going to the server (10s of Kilobytes rather than a Megabyte) which hurts throughput. With this patch, there are fewer writes which are each larger on average. Where the NR_UNSTABLE_NFS count was included in statistics virtual-files, the entry is retained, but the value is hard-coded as zero. static trace points and warning printks which mentioned this counter no longer report it.

PF_LESS_THROTTLE exists for loop-back nfsd (and a similar need in the loop block driver and callers of prctl(PR_SET_IO_FLUSHER)), where a daemon needs to write to one bdi (the final bdi) in order to free up writes queued to another bdi (the client bdi). The daemon sets PF_LESS_THROTTLE and gets a larger allowance of dirty pages, so that it can still dirty pages after other processses have been throttled. The purpose of this is to avoid deadlock that happen when the PF_LESS_THROTTLE process must write for any dirty pages to be freed, but it is being thottled and cannot write. This approach was designed when all threads were blocked equally, independently on which device they were writing to, or how fast it was. Since that time the writeback algorithm has changed substantially with different threads getting different allowances based on non-trivial heuristics. This means the simple "add 25%" heuristic is no longer reliable. The important issue is not that the daemon needs a *larger* dirty page allowance, but that it needs a *private* dirty page allowance, so that dirty pages for the "client" bdi that it is helping to clear (the bdi for an NFS filesystem or loop block device etc) do not affect the throttling of the daemon writing to the "final" bdi. This patch changes the heuristic so that the task is not throttled when the bdi it is writing to has a dirty page count below below (or equal to) the free-run threshold for that bdi. This ensures it will always be able to have some pages in flight, and so will not deadlock. In a steady-state, it is expected that PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE tasks might still be throttled by global threshold, but that is acceptable as it is only the deadlock state that is interesting for this flag. This approach of "only throttle when target bdi is busy" is consistent with the other use of PF_LESS_THROTTLE in current_may_throttle(), were it causes attention to be focussed only on the target bdi. So this patch - renames PF_LESS_THROTTLE to PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE, - removes the 25% bonus that that flag gives, and - If PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE is set, don't delay at all unless the global and the local free-run thresholds are exceeded. Note that previously realtime threads were treated the same as PF_LESS_THROTTLE threads. This patch does *not* change the behvaiour for real-time threads, so it is now different from the behaviour of nfsd and loop tasks. I don't know what is wanted for realtime.

Patch series "Introduce attach/detach_page_private to cleanup code". This patch (of 10): The logic in attach_page_buffers and __clear_page_buffers are quite paired, but 1. they are located in different files. 2. attach_page_buffers is implemented in buffer_head.h, so it could be used by other files. But __clear_page_buffers is static function in buffer.c and other potential users can't call the function, md-bitmap even copied the function. So, introduce the new attach/detach_page_private to replace them. With the new pair of function, we will remove the usage of attach_page_buffers and __clear_page_buffers in next patches. Thanks for suggestions about the function name from Alexander Viro, Andreas Grünbacher, Christoph Hellwig and Matthew Wilcox. Suggested-by:
