With rmap memcg locking already in place for NR_ANON_MAPPED, it's just a small step to remove the MEMCG_RSS_HUGE wart and switch memcg to the native NR_ANON_THPS accounting sites.

Memcg maintains a private MEMCG_RSS counter. This divergence from the generic VM accounting means unnecessary code overhead, and creates a dependency for memcg that page->mapping is set up at the time of charging, so that page types can be told apart. Convert the generic accounting sites to mod_lruvec_page_state and friends to maintain the per-cgroup vmstat counter of NR_ANON_MAPPED. We use lock_page_memcg() to stabilize page->mem_cgroup during rmap changes, the same way we do for NR_FILE_MAPPED. With the previous patch removing MEMCG_CACHE and the private NR_SHMEM counter, this patch finally eliminates the need to have page->mapping set up at charge time. However, we need to have page->mem_cgroup set up by the time rmap runs and does the accounting, so switch the commit and the rmap callbacks around. v2: fix temporary accounting bug by switching rmap<->commit (Joonsoo) Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Alex Shi <alex.shi@linux.alibaba.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Cc: "Kirill A.

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 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. v2: leave shmem swapcache when charging fails to avoid double IO (Joonsoo) v3: rebase on preceeding shmem simplification patch Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Alex Shi <alex.shi@linux.alibaba.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Cc: "Kirill A.

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 215c02bc ("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 802a3a92 ("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 9de4f22a ("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 02c6de8d ("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 9b19df29 ("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 3c1d7e6c ("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.

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. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

__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.

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.

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.

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.
