      mm/thp: rename TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_NEVER_DAX to _UNSUPPORTED · 3c556d24
      Peter Xu authored 
      TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_NEVER_DAX has nothing to do with DAX.  It's set when
has_transparent_hugepage() returns false, checked in hugepage_vma_check()
and will disable THP completely if false.  Rename it to
TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_UNSUPPORTED to reflect its real purpose.

      It's more clear and simple to just use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HWPOISON_INJECT)
to check whether or not to enable HWPoison injector module instead of
CONFIG_HWPOISON_INJECT/CONFIG_HWPOISON_INJECT_MODULE.

      mm: vmscan: remove shrinker_rwsem from synchronize_shrinkers() · 1643db98
      Qi Zheng authored 
      Currently, the synchronize_shrinkers() is only used by TTM pool.  It only
requires that no shrinkers run in parallel, and doesn't care about
registering and unregistering of shrinkers.

Since slab shrink is protected by SRCU, synchronize_srcu() is sufficient
to ensure that no shrinker is running in parallel.  So the shrinker_rwsem
in synchronize_shrinkers() is no longer needed, just remove it.

      mm: vmscan: hold write lock to reparent shrinker nr_deferred · b3cabea3
      Qi Zheng authored 
      For now, reparent_shrinker_deferred() is the only holder of read lock of
shrinker_rwsem.  And it already holds the global cgroup_mutex, so it will
not be called in parallel.

Therefore, in order to convert shrinker_rwsem to shrinker_mutex later,
here we change to hold the write lock of shrinker_rwsem to reparent.

      mm: vmscan: add shrinker_srcu_generation · 475733dd
      Kirill Tkhai authored 
      After we make slab shrink lockless with SRCU, the longest sleep
unregister_shrinker() will be a sleep waiting for all do_shrink_slab()
calls.

To avoid long unbreakable action in the unregister_shrinker(), add
shrinker_srcu_generation to restore a check similar to the
rwsem_is_contendent() check that we had before.

And for memcg slab shrink, we unlock SRCU and continue iterations from the
next shrinker id.

      mm: vmscan: make memcg slab shrink lockless · caa05325
      Qi Zheng authored 
      Like global slab shrink, this commit also uses SRCU to make memcg slab
shrink lockless.

We can reproduce the down_read_trylock() hotspot through the
following script:

```

DIR="/root/shrinker/memcg/mnt"

do_create()
{
    mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
    mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/test
    echo 4G > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
    for i in `seq 0 $1`;
    do
        mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i;
        echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i/cgroup.procs;
        echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/test/cgroup.procs;
        mkdir -p $DIR/$i;
    done
}

do_mount()
{
    for i in `seq $1 $2`;
    do
        mount -t tmpfs $i $DIR/$i;
    done
}

do_touch()
{
    for i in `seq $1 $2`;
    do
        echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i/cgroup.procs;
        echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/test/cgroup.procs;
            dd if=/dev/zero of=$DIR/$i/file$i bs=1M count=1 &
    done
}

case "$1" in
  touch)
    do_touch $2 $3
    ;;
  test)
      do_create 4000
    do_mount 0 4000
    do_touch 0 3000
    ;;
  *)
    exit 1
    ;;
esac
```

Save the above script, then run test and touch commands.
Then we can use the following perf command to view hotspots:

perf top -U -F 999

1) Before applying this patchset:

  32.31%  [kernel]           [k] down_read_trylock

   3.88%  [kernel]           [k] mem_cgroup_iter

At the same time, we use the following perf command to capture
IPC information:

perf stat -e cycles,instructions -G test -a --repeat 5 -- sleep 10

1) Before applying this patchset:

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide' (5 runs):

      454187219766      cycles                    test                    ( +-  1.84% )
       78896433101      instructions              test #    0.17  insn per cycle           ( +-  0.44% )

        10.0020430 +- 0.0000366 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.00% )

2) After applying this patchset:

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide' (5 runs):

      841954709443      cycles                    test                    ( +- 15.80% )  (98.69%)
      527258677936      instructions              test #    0.63  insn per cycle           ( +- 15.11% )  (98.68%)

          10.01064 +- 0.00831 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.08% )

We can see that IPC drops very seriously when calling
down_read_trylock() at high frequency. After using SRCU,
the IPC is at a normal level.

      mm: vmscan: make global slab shrink lockless · f95bdb70
      Qi Zheng authored 
      The shrinker_rwsem is a global read-write lock in shrinkers subsystem,
which protects most operations such as slab shrink, registration and
unregistration of shrinkers, etc.  This can easily cause problems in the
following cases.

1) When the memory pressure is high and there are many
   filesystems mounted or unmounted at the same time,
   slab shrink will be affected (down_read_trylock()
   failed).

   Such as the real workload mentioned by Kirill Tkhai:

   ```
   One of the real workloads from my experience is start
   of an overcommitted node containing many starting
   containers after node crash (or many resuming containers
   after reboot for kernel update). In these cases memory
   pressure is huge, and the node goes round in long reclaim.
   ```

2) If a shrinker is blocked (such as the case mentioned
   in [1]) and a writer comes in (such as mount a fs),
   then this writer will be blocked and cause all
   subsequent shrinker-related operations to be blocked.

Even if there is no competitor when shrinking slab, there may still be a
problem.  If we have a long shrinker list and we do not reclaim enough
memory with each shrinker, then the down_read_trylock() may be called with
high frequency.  Because of the poor multicore scalability of atomic
operations, this can lead to a significant drop in IPC (instructions per
cycle).

So many times in history ([2],[3],[4],[5]), some people wanted to replace
shrinker_rwsem trylock with SRCU in the slab shrink, but all these patches
were abandoned because SRCU was not unconditionally enabled.

But now, since commit 1cd0bd06093c ("rcu: Remove CONFIG_SRCU"), the SRCU
is unconditionally enabled.  So it's time to use SRCU to protect readers
who previously held shrinker_rwsem.

This commit uses SRCU to make global slab shrink lockless,
the memcg slab shrink is handled in the subsequent patch.

      mm: vmscan: add a map_nr_max field to shrinker_info · 42c9db39
      Qi Zheng authored 
      Patch series "make slab shrink lockless", v5.

This patch series aims to make slab shrink lockless.

1. Background
=============

On our servers, we often find the following system cpu hotspots:

  52.22% [kernel]        [k] down_read_trylock
  19.60% [kernel]        [k] up_read
   8.86% [kernel]        [k] shrink_slab
   2.44% [kernel]        [k] idr_find
   1.25% [kernel]        [k] count_shadow_nodes
   1.18% [kernel]        [k] shrink lruvec
   0.71% [kernel]        [k] mem_cgroup_iter
   0.71% [kernel]        [k] shrink_node
   0.55% [kernel]        [k] find_next_bit

And we used bpftrace to capture its calltrace as follows:

@[
    down_read_trylock+1
    shrink_slab+128
    shrink_node+371
    do_try_to_free_pages+232

We can see that down_read_trylock() of shrinker_rwsem is being called with
high frequency at that time.  Because of the poor multicore scalability of
atomic operations, this can lead to a significant drop in IPC
(instructions per cycle).

And more, the shrinker_rwsem is a global read-write lock in shrinkers
subsystem, which protects most operations such as slab shrink,
registration and unregistration of shrinkers, etc.  This can easily cause
problems in the following cases.

1) When the memory pressure is high and there are many filesystems
   mounted or unmounted at the same time, slab shrink will be affected
   (down_read_trylock() failed).

   Such as the real workload mentioned by Kirill Tkhai:

   ```
   One of the real workloads from my experience is start of an
   overcommitted node containing many starting containers after node crash
   (or many resuming containers after reboot for kernel update).  In these
   cases memory pressure is huge, and the node goes round in long reclaim.
   ```

2) If a shrinker is blocked (such as the case mentioned in [1]) and a
   writer comes in (such as mount a fs), then this writer will be blocked
   and cause all subsequent shrinker-related operations to be blocked.

[1]. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191129214541.3110-1-ptikhomirov@virtuozzo.com/

All the above cases can be solved by replacing the shrinker_rwsem trylocks
with SRCU.

2. Survey
=========

Before doing the code implementation, I found that there were many similar
submissions in the community:

a. Davidlohr Bueso submitted a patch in 2015.
   Subject: [PATCH -next v2] mm: srcu-ify shrinkers
   Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/1437080113.3596.2.camel@stgolabs.net/
   Result: It was finally merged into the linux-next branch,
           but failed on arm allnoconfig (without CONFIG_SRCU)

b. Tetsuo Handa submitted a patchset in 2017.
   Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm,vmscan: Kill global shrinker lock.
   Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1510609063-3327-1-git-send-email-penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp/
   Result: Finally chose to use the current simple way (break
           when rwsem_is_contended()).  And Christoph Hellwig suggested to
           using SRCU, but SRCU was not unconditionally enabled at the
           time.

c. Kirill Tkhai submitted a patchset in 2018.
   Subject: [PATCH RFC 00/10] Introduce lockless shrink_slab()
   Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/153365347929.19074.12509495712735843805.stgit@localhost.localdomain/
   Result: At that time, SRCU was not unconditionally enabled,
           and there were some objections to enabling SRCU.  Later,
           because Kirill's focus was moved to other things, this patchset
           was not continued to be updated.

d. Sultan Alsawaf submitted a patch in 2021.
   Subject: [PATCH] mm: vmscan: Replace shrinker_rwsem trylocks with SRCU protection
   Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210927074823.5825-1-sultan@kerneltoast.com/
   Result: Rejected because SRCU was not unconditionally enabled.

We can find that almost all these historical commits were abandoned
because SRCU was not unconditionally enabled.  But now SRCU has been
unconditionally enable by Paul E.  McKenney in 2023 [2], so it's time to
replace shrinker_rwsem trylocks with SRCU.

3. Reproduction and testing
===========================

We can reproduce the down_read_trylock() hotspot through the following script:

```
#!/bin/bash

DIR="/root/shrinker/memcg/mnt"

do_create()
{
    mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
    mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/test
    echo 4G > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
    for i in `seq 0 $1`;
    do
        mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i;
        echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i/cgroup.procs;
        echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/test/cgroup.procs;
        mkdir -p $DIR/$i;
    done
}

do_mount()
{
    for i in `seq $1 $2`;
    do
        mount -t tmpfs $i $DIR/$i;
    done
}

do_touch()
{
    for i in `seq $1 $2`;
    do
        echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i/cgroup.procs;
        echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/test/cgroup.procs;
            dd if=/dev/zero of=$DIR/$i/file$i bs=1M count=1 &
    done
}

case "$1" in
  touch)
    do_touch $2 $3
    ;;
  test)
      do_create 4000
    do_mount 0 4000
    do_touch 0 3000
    ;;
  *)
    exit 1
    ;;
esac
```

Save the above script, then run test and touch commands.  Then we can use
the following perf command to view hotspots:

perf top -U -F 999

1) Before applying this patchset:

  32.31%  [kernel]           [k] down_read_trylock
  19.40%  [kernel]           [k] pv_native_safe_halt

   0.76%  [kernel]           [k] do_shrink_slab

2) After applying this patchset:

  27.83%  [kernel]           [k] _find_next_bit
  16.97%  [kernel]           [k] shrink_slab
  15.82%  [kernel]           [k] pv_native_safe_halt
   9.58%  [kernel]           [k] shrink_node
   8.31%  [kernel]           [k] shrink_lruvec
   5.64%  [kernel]           [k] do_shrink_slab
   3.88%  [kernel]           [k] mem_cgroup_iter

At the same time, we use the following perf command to capture IPC
information:

perf stat -e cycles,instructions -G test -a --repeat 5 -- sleep 10

1) Before applying this patchset:

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide' (5 runs):

      454187219766      cycles                    test                    ( +-  1.84% )
       78896433101      instructions              test #    0.17  insn per cycle           ( +-  0.44% )

        10.0020430 +- 0.0000366 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.00% )

2) After applying this patchset:

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide' (5 runs):

      841954709443      cycles                    test                    ( +- 15.80% )  (98.69%)
      527258677936      instructions              test #    0.63  insn per cycle           ( +- 15.11% )  (98.68%)

          10.01064 +- 0.00831 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.08% )

We can see that IPC drops very seriously when calling down_read_trylock()
at high frequency.  After using SRCU, the IPC is at a normal level.


This patch (of 8):

To prepare for the subsequent lockless memcg slab shrink, add a map_nr_max
field to struct shrinker_info to records its own real shrinker_nr_max.
