The actions for busy and not busy are mostly the same, so combine these and remove the unnecessary function. Also, the pool is about to be freed so there's no need to poison the page data since we only check for poison on alloc, which can't be done on a freed pool.

To represent the size of a single allocation, dmapool currently uses 'unsigned int' in some places and 'size_t' in other places. Standardize on 'unsigned int' to reduce overhead, but use 'size_t' when counting all the blocks in the entire pool.

dmapool originally tried to support pools without a device because dma_alloc_coherent() supports allocations without a device. But nobody ended up using dma pools without a device, and trying to do so will result in an oops. So remove the checks for pool->dev == NULL since they are unneeded bloat.

Patch series "dmapool enhancements", v4. Time spent in dma_pool alloc/free increases linearly with the number of pages backing the pool. We can reduce this to constant time with minor changes to how free pages are tracked. This patch (of 12): Provide a module that allocates and frees many blocks of various sizes and report how long it takes. This is intended to provide a consistent way to measure how changes to the dma_pool_alloc/free routines affect timing.

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.

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. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230313112819.38938-8-zhengqi.arch@bytedance.comSigned-off-by:

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.

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. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230313112819.38938-5-zhengqi.arch@bytedance.comSigned-off-by:

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.

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.

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 try_to_free_pages+243 _alloc_pages_slowpath+771 _alloc_pages_nodemask+702 pagecache_get_page+255 filemap_fault+1361 ext4_filemap_fault+44 __do_fault+76 handle_mm_fault+3543 do_user_addr_fault+442 do_page_fault+48 page_fault+62 ]: 1161690 @[ down_read_trylock+1 shrink_slab+128 shrink_node+371 balance_pgdat+690 kswapd+389 kthread+246 ret_from_fork+31 ]: 8424884 @[ down_read_trylock+1 shrink_slab+128 shrink_node+371 do_try_to_free_pages+232 try_to_free_pages+243 __alloc_pages_slowpath+771 __alloc_pages_nodemask+702 __do_page_cache_readahead+244 filemap_fault+1674 ext4_filemap_fault+44 __do_fault+76 handle_mm_fault+3543 do_user_addr_fault+442 do_page_fault+48 page_fault+62 ]: 20917631 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).

[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. [2] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230105003759.GA1769545@paulmck-ThinkPad-P17-Gen-1/ 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 16.24% [kernel] [k] up_read 15.70% [kernel] [k] shrink_slab 4.69% [kernel] [k] _find_next_bit 2.62% [kernel] [k] shrink_node 1.78% [kernel] [k] shrink_lruvec 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.

Code inspection reveals that PG_skip_kasan_poison is redundant with kasantag, because the former is intended to be set iff the latter is the match-all tag. It can also be observed that it's basically pointless to poison pages which have kasantag=0, because any pages with this tag would have been pointed to by pointers with match-all tags, so poisoning the pages would have little to no effect in terms of bug detection. Therefore, change the condition in should_skip_kasan_poison() to check kasantag instead, and remove PG_skip_kasan_poison and associated flags.

io_mapping_map_atomic_wc() disables preemption and pagefaults for historical reasons. The conversion to io_mapping_map_local_wc(), which only disables migration, cannot be done wholesale because quite some call sites need to be updated to accommodate with the changed semantics. On PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels the io_mapping_map_atomic_wc() semantics are problematic due to the implicit disabling of preemption which makes it impossible to acquire 'sleeping' spinlocks within the mapped atomic sections. PREEMPT_RT replaces the preempt_disable() with a migrate_disable() for more than a decade. It could be argued that this is a justification to do this unconditionally, but PREEMPT_RT covers only a limited number of architectures and it disables some functionality which limits the coverage further. Limit the replacement to PREEMPT_RT for now. This is also done kmap_atomic(). Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230310162905.O57Pj7hh@linutronix.deSigned-off-by:

In doing experimentations with shmem having the option to avoid swap becomes a useful mechanism. One of the *raves* about brd over shmem is you can avoid swap, but that's not really a good reason to use brd if we can instead use shmem. Using brd has its own good reasons to exist, but just because "tmpfs" doesn't let you do that is not a great reason to avoid it if we can easily add support for it. I don't add support for reconfiguring incompatible options, but if we really wanted to we can add support for that. To avoid swap we use mapping_set_unevictable() upon inode creation, and put a WARN_ON_ONCE() stop-gap on writepages() for reclaim.

Update the docs to reflect a bit better why some folks prefer tmpfs over ramfs and clarify a bit more about the difference between brd ramdisks.

In theory when info->flags & VM_LOCKED we should not be getting shem_writepage() called so we should be verifying this with a WARN_ON_ONCE(). Since we should not be swapping then best to ensure we also don't do the folio split earlier too. So just move the check early to avoid folio splits in case its a dubious call. We also have a similar early bail when !total_swap_pages so just move that earlier to avoid the possible folio split in the same situation.

i915_gem requires huge folios to be split when swapping. However we have check for usage of writepages() to ensure it used only for swap purposes later. Avoid the splits if we're not being called for reclaim, even if they should in theory not happen. This makes the conditions easier to follow on shem_writepage().

shmem_writepage() sets up variables typically used *after* a possible huge page split. However even if that does happen the address space mapping should not change, and the inode does not change either. So it should be safe to set that from the very beginning. This commit makes no functional changes. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230309230545.2930737-3-mcgrof@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

Patch series "tmpfs: add the option to disable swap", v2. I'm doing this work as part of future experimentation with tmpfs and the page cache, but given a common complaint found about tmpfs is the innability to work without the page cache I figured this might be useful to others. It turns out it is -- at least Christian Brauner indicates systemd uses ramfs for a few use-cases because they don't want to use swap and so having this option would let them move over to using tmpfs for those small use cases, see systemd-creds(1). To see if you hit swap: mkswap /dev/nvme2n1 swapon /dev/nvme2n1 free -h With swap - what we see today ============================= mount -t tmpfs -o size=5G tmpfs /data-tmpfs/ dd if=/dev/urandom of=/data-tmpfs/5g-rand2 bs=1G count=5 free -h total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 3.7Gi 2.6Gi 1.2Gi 2.2Gi 2.2Gi 1.2Gi Swap: 99Gi 2.8Gi 97Gi Without swap ============= free -h total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 3.7Gi 387Mi 3.4Gi 2.1Mi 57Mi 3.3Gi Swap: 99Gi 0B 99Gi mount -t tmpfs -o size=5G -o noswap tmpfs /data-tmpfs/ dd if=/dev/urandom of=/data-tmpfs/5g-rand2 bs=1G count=5 free -h total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 3.7Gi 2.6Gi 1.2Gi 2.3Gi 2.3Gi 1.1Gi Swap: 99Gi 21Mi 99Gi The mix and match remount testing ================================= # Cannot disable swap after it was first enabled: mount -t tmpfs -o size=5G tmpfs /data-tmpfs/ mount -t tmpfs -o remount -o size=5G -o noswap tmpfs /data-tmpfs/ mount: /data-tmpfs: mount point not mounted or bad option. dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call. dmesg -c tmpfs: Cannot disable swap on remount # Remount with the same noswap option is OK: mount -t tmpfs -o size=5G -o noswap tmpfs /data-tmpfs/ mount -t tmpfs -o remount -o size=5G -o noswap tmpfs /data-tmpfs/ dmesg -c # Trying to enable swap with a remount after it first disabled: mount -t tmpfs -o size=5G -o noswap tmpfs /data-tmpfs/ mount -t tmpfs -o remount -o size=5G tmpfs /data-tmpfs/ mount: /data-tmpfs: mount point not mounted or bad option. dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call. dmesg -c tmpfs: Cannot enable swap on remount if it was disabled on first mount This patch (of 6): Matthew notes we should not need to check the folio lock on the writepage() callback so remove it.

The last remaining user of folio_write_one through the write_one_page wrapper is jfs, so move the functionality there and hard code the call to metapage_writepage. Note that the use of the pagecache by the JFS 'metapage' buffer cache is a bit odd, and we could probably do without VM-level dirty tracking at all, but that's a change for another time.

Patch series "remove most callers of write_one_page", v4. This series removes most users of the write_one_page API. These helpers internally call ->writepage which we are gradually removing from the kernel. This patch (of 3): We do not need to writeout modified directory blocks immediately when modifying them while the page is locked. It is enough to do the flush somewhat later which has the added benefit that inode times can be flushed as well. It also allows us to stop depending on write_one_page() function.

KMSAN does not instrument stackdepot and may treat memory allocated by it as uninitialized. This is not a problem for KMSAN itself, because its functions calling stackdepot API are also not instrumented. But other kernel features (e.g. netdev tracker) may access stack depot from instrumented code, which will lead to false positives, unless we explicitly mark stackdepot outputs as initialized.

Patch series "mm, memcg: cgroup v1 and v2 tunable load/store tearing fixes", v2. This patch series helps to prevent load/store tearing in several cgroup knobs. As kindly pointed out by Michal Hocko and Roman Gushchin , the changelog has been rephrased. Besides, more knobs were checked, according to kind suggestions from Shakeel Butt and Muchun Song. This patch (of 4): The knob for cgroup v2 memory controller: memory.oom.group is not protected by any locking so it can be modified while it is used. This is not an actual problem because races are unlikely (the knob is usually configured long before any workloads hits actual memcg oom) but it is better to use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE to prevent compiler from doing anything funky. The access of memcg->oom_group is lockless, so it can be concurrently set at the same time as we are trying to read it.
