ZONE_DEVICE (merged in 4.3) and ZONE_CMA (proposed) are examples of new mm zones that are bumping up against the current maximum limit of 4 zones, i.e. 2 bits in page->flags for the GFP_ZONE_TABLE. The GFP_ZONE_TABLE poses an interesting constraint since include/linux/gfp.h gets included by the 32-bit portion of a 64-bit build. We need to be careful to only build the table for zones that have a corresponding gfp_t flag. GFP_ZONES_SHIFT is introduced for this purpose. This patch does not attempt to solve the problem of adding a new zone that also has a corresponding GFP_ flag. Vlastimil points out that ZONE_DEVICE, by depending on x86_64 and SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP implies that SECTIONS_WIDTH is zero. In other words even though ZONE_DEVICE does not fit in GFP_ZONE_TABLE it is free to consume another bit in page->flags (expand ZONES_WIDTH) with room to spare.

- Do not take memcg_limit_mutex for resetting limits - the cgroup cannot be altered from userspace anymore, so no need to protect them. - Use plain page_counter_limit() for resetting ->memory and ->memsw limits instead of mem_cgrouop_resize_* helpers - we enlarge the limits, so no need in special handling. - Reset ->swap and ->tcpmem limits as well.

online_pages() simply returns an error value if memory_notify(MEM_GOING_ONLINE, &arg) return a value that is not what we want for successfully onlining target pages. This patch arms to print more failure information like offline_pages() in online_pages. This patch also converts printk(KERN_<LEVEL>) to pr_<level>(), and moves __offline_pages() to not print failure information with KERN_INFO according to David Rientjes's suggestion[1].

Commit 64775719 ("mm: clarify __GFP_NOFAIL deprecation status") was incomplete and didn't remove the comment about __GFP_NOFAIL being deprecated in buffered_rmqueue. Let's get rid of this leftover but keep the WARN_ON_ONCE for order > 1 because we should really discourage from using __GFP_NOFAIL with higher order allocations because those are just too subtle.

CMA allocation should be guaranteed to succeed by definition, but, unfortunately, it would be failed sometimes. It is hard to track down the problem, because it is related to page reference manipulation and we don't have any facility to analyze it. This patch adds tracepoints to track down page reference manipulation. With it, we can find exact reason of failure and can fix the problem. Following is an example of tracepoint output. (note: this example is stale version that printing flags as the number. Recent version will print it as human readable string.) <...>-9018 [004] 92.678375: page_ref_set: pfn=0x17ac9 flags=0x0 count=1 mapcount=0 mapping=(nil) mt=4 val=1 <...>-9018 [004] 92.678378: kernel_stack: => get_page_from_freelist (ffffffff81176659) => __alloc_pages_nodemask (ffffffff81176d22) => alloc_pages_vma (ffffffff811bf675) => handle_mm_fault (ffffffff8119e693) => __do_page_fault (ffffffff810631ea) => trace_do_page_fault (ffffffff81063543) => do_async_page_fault (ffffffff8105c40a) => async_page_fault (ffffffff817581d8) [snip] <...>-9018 [004] 92.678379: page_ref_mod: pfn=0x17ac9 flags=0x40048 count=2 mapcount=1 mapping=0xffff880015a78dc1 mt=4 val=1 [snip] ... ... <...>-9131 [001] 93.174468: test_pages_isolated: start_pfn=0x17800 end_pfn=0x17c00 fin_pfn=0x17ac9 ret=fail [snip] <...>-9018 [004] 93.174843: page_ref_mod_and_test: pfn=0x17ac9 flags=0x40068 count=0 mapcount=0 mapping=0xffff880015a78dc1 mt=4 val=-1 ret=1 => release_pages (ffffffff8117c9e4) => free_pages_and_swap_cache (ffffffff811b0697) => tlb_flush_mmu_free (ffffffff81199616) => tlb_finish_mmu (ffffffff8119a62c) => exit_mmap (ffffffff811a53f7) => mmput (ffffffff81073f47) => do_exit (ffffffff810794e9) => do_group_exit (ffffffff81079def) => SyS_exit_group (ffffffff81079e74) => entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath (ffffffff817560b6) This output shows that problem comes from exit path. In exit path, to improve performance, pages are not freed immediately. They are gathered and processed by batch. During this process, migration cannot be possible and CMA allocation is failed.

The success of CMA allocation largely depends on the success of migration and key factor of it is page reference count. Until now, page reference is manipulated by direct calling atomic functions so we cannot follow up who and where manipulate it. Then, it is hard to find actual reason of CMA allocation failure. CMA allocation should be guaranteed to succeed so finding offending place is really important. In this patch, call sites where page reference is manipulated are converted to introduced wrapper function. This is preparation step to add tracepoint to each page reference manipulation function. With this facility, we can easily find reason of CMA allocation failure. There is no functional change in this patch. In addition, this patch also converts reference read sites. It will help a second step that renames page._count to something else and prevents later attempt to direct access to it (Suggested by Andrew). Signed-off-by:

THP defrag is enabled by default to direct reclaim/compact but not wake kswapd in the event of a THP allocation failure. The problem is that THP allocation requests potentially enter reclaim/compaction. This potentially incurs a severe stall that is not guaranteed to be offset by reduced TLB misses. While there has been considerable effort to reduce the impact of reclaim/compaction, it is still a high cost and workloads that should fit in memory fail to do so. Specifically, a simple anon/file streaming workload will enter direct reclaim on NUMA at least even though the working set size is 80% of RAM. It's been years and it's time to throw in the towel. First, this patch defines THP defrag as follows; madvise: A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact if the application requests it never: Neither reclaim/compact nor wake kswapd defer: A failed allocation will wake kswapd/kcompactd always: A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact (historical behaviour) khugepaged defrag will enter direct/reclaim but not wake kswapd. Next it sets the default defrag option to be "madvise" to only enter direct reclaim/compaction for applications that specifically requested it. Lastly, it removes a check from the page allocator slowpath that is related to __GFP_THISNODE to allow "defer" to work. The callers that really cares are slub/slab and they are updated accordingly. The slab one may be surprising because it also corrects a comment as kswapd was never woken up by that path. This means that a THP fault will no longer stall for most applications by default and the ideal for most users that get THP if they are immediately available. There are still options for users that prefer a stall at startup of a new application by either restoring historical behaviour with "always" or pick a half-way point with "defer" where kswapd does some of the work in the background and wakes kcompactd if necessary. THP defrag for khugepaged remains enabled and will enter direct/reclaim but no wakeup kswapd or kcompactd. After this patch a THP allocation failure will quickly fallback and rely on khugepaged to recover the situation at some time in the future. In some cases, this will reduce THP usage but the benefit of THP is hard to measure and not a universal win where as a stall to reclaim/compaction is definitely measurable and can be painful. The first test for this is using "usemem" to read a large file and write a large anonymous mapping (to avoid the zero page) multiple times. The total size of the mappings is 80% of RAM and the benchmark simply measures how long it takes to complete. It uses multiple threads to see if that is a factor. On UMA, the performance is almost identical so is not reported but on NUMA, we see this usemem 4.4.0 4.4.0 kcompactd-v1r1 nodefrag-v1r3 Amean System-1 102.86 ( 0.00%) 46.81 ( 54.50%) Amean System-4 37.85 ( 0.00%) 34.02 ( 10.12%) Amean System-7 48.12 ( 0.00%) 46.89 ( 2.56%) Amean System-12 51.98 ( 0.00%) 56.96 ( -9.57%) Amean System-21 80.16 ( 0.00%) 79.05 ( 1.39%) Amean System-30 110.71 ( 0.00%) 107.17 ( 3.20%) Amean System-48 127.98 ( 0.00%) 124.83 ( 2.46%) Amean Elapsd-1 185.84 ( 0.00%) 105.51 ( 43.23%) Amean Elapsd-4 26.19 ( 0.00%) 25.58 ( 2.33%) Amean Elapsd-7 21.65 ( 0.00%) 21.62 ( 0.16%) Amean Elapsd-12 18.58 ( 0.00%) 17.94 ( 3.43%) Amean Elapsd-21 17.53 ( 0.00%) 16.60 ( 5.33%) Amean Elapsd-30 17.45 ( 0.00%) 17.13 ( 1.84%) Amean Elapsd-48 15.40 ( 0.00%) 15.27 ( 0.82%) For a single thread, the benchmark completes 43.23% faster with this patch applied with smaller benefits as the thread increases.

If an oom killed thread calls mempool_alloc(), it is possible that it'll loop forever if there are no elements on the freelist since __GFP_NOMEMALLOC prevents it from accessing needed memory reserves in oom conditions. Only set __GFP_NOMEMALLOC if there are elements on the freelist. If there are no free elements, allow allocations without the bit set so that memory reserves can be accessed if needed. Additionally, using mempool_alloc() with __GFP_NOMEMALLOC is not supported since the implementation can loop forever without accessing memory reserves when needed. Signed-off-by:

In machines with 140G of memory and enterprise flash storage, we have seen read and write bursts routinely exceed the kswapd watermarks and cause thundering herds in direct reclaim. Unfortunately, the only way to tune kswapd aggressiveness is through adjusting min_free_kbytes - the system's emergency reserves - which is entirely unrelated to the system's latency requirements. In order to get kswapd to maintain a 250M buffer of free memory, the emergency reserves need to be set to 1G. That is a lot of memory wasted for no good reason. On the other hand, it's reasonable to assume that allocation bursts and overall allocation concurrency scale with memory capacity, so it makes sense to make kswapd aggressiveness a function of that as well. Change the kswapd watermark scale factor from the currently fixed 25% of the tunable emergency reserve to a tunable 0.1% of memory. Beyond 1G of memory, this will produce bigger watermark steps than the current formula in default settings. Ensure that the new formula never chooses steps smaller than that, i.e. 25% of the emergency reserve. On a 140G machine, this raises the default watermark steps - the distance between min and low, and low and high - from 16M to 143M. Signed-off-by:

There are few things about *pte_alloc*() helpers worth cleaning up: - 'vma' argument is unused, let's drop it; - most __pte_alloc() callers do speculative check for pmd_none(), before taking ptl: let's introduce pte_alloc() macro which does the check. The only direct user of __pte_alloc left is userfaultfd, which has different expectation about atomicity wrt pmd. - pte_alloc_map() and pte_alloc_map_lock() are redefined using pte_alloc().

It indicates to the hypervisor how big the balloon can be inflated without pushing the guest system to swap. This metric would be very useful in VM orchestration software to improve memory management of different VMs under overcommit.

In particular, it appears a relevant metric to report to the hypervisor via virtio-balloon statistics interface (in a followup patch). Signed-off-by:

Count how many times we put a THP in split queue. Currently, it happens on partial unmap of a THP. Rapidly growing value can indicate that an application behaves unfriendly wrt THP: often fault in huge page and then unmap part of it. This leads to unnecessary memory fragmentation and the application may require tuning. The event also can help with debugging kernel [mis-]behaviour. Signed-off-by:

Workingset code was recently made memcg aware, but shadow node shrinker is still global. As a result, one small cgroup can consume all memory available for shadow nodes, possibly hurting other cgroups by reclaiming their shadow nodes, even though reclaim distances stored in its shadow nodes have no effect. To avoid this, we need to make shadow node shrinker memcg aware. Signed-off-by:

A page is activated on refault if the refault distance stored in the corresponding shadow entry is less than the number of active file pages. Since active file pages can't occupy more than half memory, we assume that the maximal effective refault distance can't be greater than half the number of present pages and size the shadow nodes lru list appropriately. Generally speaking, this assumption is correct, but it can result in wasting a considerable chunk of memory on stale shadow nodes in case the portion of file pages is small, e.g. if a workload mostly uses anonymous memory. To sort this out, we need to compute the size of shadow nodes lru basing not on the maximal possible, but the current size of file cache. We could take the size of active file lru for the maximal refault distance, but active lru is pretty unstable - it can shrink dramatically at runtime possibly disrupting workingset detection logic. Instead we assume that the maximal refault distance equals half the total number of file cache pages. This will protect us against active file lru size fluctuations while still being correct, because size of active lru is normally maintained lower than size of inactive lru. Signed-off-by:

Allocation of radix_tree_node objects can be easily triggered from userspace, so we should account them to memory cgroup. Besides, we need them accounted for making shadow node shrinker per memcg (see mm/workingset.c). A tricky thing about accounting radix_tree_node objects is that they are mostly allocated through radix_tree_preload(), so we can't just set SLAB_ACCOUNT for radix_tree_node_cachep - that would likely result in a lot of unrelated cgroups using objects from each other's caches. One way to overcome this would be making radix tree preloads per memcg, but that would probably look cumbersome and overcomplicated. Instead, we make radix_tree_node_alloc() first try to allocate from the cache with __GFP_ACCOUNT, no matter if the caller has preloaded or not, and only if it fails fall back on using per cpu preloads. This should make most allocations accounted. Signed-off-by:

As kmem accounting is now either enabled for all cgroups or disabled system-wide, there's no point in having memcg_kmem_online() helper - instead one can use memcg_kmem_enabled() and mem_cgroup_online(), as shrink_slab() now does. There are only two places left where this helper is used - __memcg_kmem_charge() and memcg_create_kmem_cache(). The former can only be called if memcg_kmem_enabled() returned true. Since the cgroup it operates on is online, mem_cgroup_is_root() check will be enough. memcg_create_kmem_cache() can't use mem_cgroup_online() helper instead of memcg_kmem_online(), because it relies on the fact that in memcg_offline_kmem() memcg->kmem_state is changed before memcg_deactivate_kmem_caches() is called, but there we can just open-code the check.

Workingset code was recently made memcg aware, but shadow node shrinker is still global. As a result, one small cgroup can consume all memory available for shadow nodes, possibly hurting other cgroups by reclaiming their shadow nodes, even though reclaim distances stored in its shadow nodes have no effect. To avoid this, we need to make shadow node shrinker memcg aware. The actual work is done in patch 6 of the series. Patches 1 and 2 prepare memcg/shrinker infrastructure for the change. Patch 3 is just a collateral cleanup. Patch 4 makes radix_tree_node accounted, which is necessary for making shadow node shrinker memcg aware. Patch 5 reduces shadow nodes overhead in case workload mostly uses anonymous pages. This patch: Currently, in the legacy hierarchy kmem accounting is off for all cgroups by default and must be enabled explicitly by writing something to memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes. Since we don't support reclaim on hitting kmem limit, nor do we have any plans to implement it, this is likely to be -1, just to enable kmem accounting and limit kernel memory consumption by the memory.limit_in_bytes along with user memory. This user API was introduced when the implementation of kmem accounting lacked slab shrinker support and hence was useless in practice. Things have changed since then - slab shrinkers were made memcg aware, the accounting overhead seems to be negligible, and a failure to charge a kmem allocation should not have critical consequences, because we only account those kernel objects that should be safe to fail. That's why kmem accounting is enabled by default for all cgroups in the default hierarchy, which will eventually replace the legacy one. The ability to enable kmem accounting for some cgroups while keeping it disabled for others is getting difficult to maintain. E.g. to make shadow node shrinker memcg aware (see mm/workingset.c), we need to know the relationship between the number of shadow nodes allocated for a cgroup and the size of its lru list. If kmem accounting is enabled for all cgroups there is no problem, but what should we do if kmem accounting is enabled only for half of cgroups? We've no other choice but use global lru stats while scanning root cgroup's shadow nodes, but that would be wrong if kmem accounting was enabled for all cgroups (which is the case if the unified hierarchy is used), in which case we should use lru stats of the root cgroup's lruvec. That being said, let's enable kmem accounting for all memory cgroups by default. If one finds it unstable or too costly, it can always be disabled system-wide by passing cgroup.memory=nokmem to the kernel at boot time. Signed-off-by:

Similarly to direct reclaim/compaction, kswapd attempts to combine reclaim and compaction to attempt making memory allocation of given order available. The details differ from direct reclaim e.g. in having high watermark as a goal. The code involved in kswapd's reclaim/compaction decisions has evolved to be quite complex. Testing reveals that it doesn't actually work in at least one scenario, and closer inspection suggests that it could be greatly simplified without compromising on the goal (make high-order page available) or efficiency (don't reclaim too much). The simplification relieas of doing all compaction in kcompactd, which is simply woken up when high watermarks are reached by kswapd's reclaim. The scenario where kswapd compaction doesn't work was found with mmtests test stress-highalloc configured to attempt order-9 allocations without direct reclaim, just waking up kswapd. There was no compaction attempt from kswapd during the whole test. Some added instrumentation shows what happens: - balance_pgdat() sets end_zone to Normal, as it's not balanced - reclaim is attempted on DMA zone, which sets nr_attempted to 99, but it cannot reclaim anything, so sc.nr_reclaimed is 0 - for zones DMA32 and Normal, kswapd_shrink_zone uses testorder=0, so it merely checks if high watermarks were reached for base pages. This is true, so no reclaim is attempted. For DMA, testorder=0 wasn't used, as compaction_suitable() returned COMPACT_SKIPPED - even though the pgdat_needs_compaction flag wasn't set to false, no compaction happens due to the condition sc.nr_reclaimed > nr_attempted being false (as 0 < 99) - priority-- due to nr_reclaimed being 0, repeat until priority reaches 0 pgdat_balanced() is false as only the small zone DMA appears balanced (curiously in that check, watermark appears OK and compaction_suitable() returns COMPACT_PARTIAL, because a lower classzone_idx is used there) Now, even if it was decided that reclaim shouldn't be attempted on the DMA zone, the scenario would be the same, as (sc.nr_reclaimed=0 > nr_attempted=0) is also false. The condition really should use >= as the comment suggests. Then there is a mismatch in the check for setting pgdat_needs_compaction to false using low watermark, while the rest uses high watermark, and who knows what other subtlety. Hopefully this demonstrates that this is unsustainable. Luckily we can simplify this a lot. The reclaim/compaction decisions make sense for direct reclaim scenario, but in kswapd, our primary goal is to reach high watermark in order-0 pages. Afterwards we can attempt compaction just once. Unlike direct reclaim, we don't reclaim extra pages (over the high watermark), the current code already disallows it for good reasons. After this patch, we simply wake up kcompactd to process the pgdat, after we have either succeeded or failed to reach the high watermarks in kswapd, which goes to sleep. We pass kswapd's order and classzone_idx, so kcompactd can apply the same criteria to determine which zones are worth compacting. Note that we use the classzone_idx from wakeup_kswapd(), not balanced_classzone_idx which can include higher zones that kswapd tried to balance too, but didn't consider them in pgdat_balanced(). Since kswapd now cannot create high-order pages itself, we need to adjust how it determines the zones to be balanced. The key element here is adding a "highorder" parameter to zone_balanced, which, when set to false, makes it consider only order-0 watermark instead of the desired higher order (this was done previously by kswapd_shrink_zone(), but not elsewhere). This false is passed for example in pgdat_balanced(). Importantly, wakeup_kswapd() uses true to make sure kswapd and thus kcompactd are woken up for a high-order allocation failure. The last thing is to decide what to do with pageblock_skip bitmap handling. Compaction maintains a pageblock_skip bitmap to record pageblocks where isolation recently failed. This bitmap can be reset by three ways: 1) direct compaction is restarting after going through the full deferred cycle 2) kswapd goes to sleep, and some other direct compaction has previously finished scanning the whole zone and set zone->compact_blockskip_flush. Note that a successful direct compaction clears this flag. 3) compaction was invoked manually via trigger in /proc The case 2) is somewhat fuzzy to begin with, but after introducing kcompactd we should update it. The check for direct compaction in 1), and to set the flush flag in 2) use current_is_kswapd(), which doesn't work for kcompactd. Thus, this patch adds bool direct_compaction to compact_control to use in 2). For the case 1) we remove the check completely - unlike the former kswapd compaction, kcompactd does use the deferred compaction functionality, so flushing tied to restarting from deferred compaction makes sense here. Note that when kswapd goes to sleep, kcompactd is woken up, so it will see the flushed pageblock_skip bits. This is different from when the former kswapd compaction observed the bits and I believe it makes more sense. Kcompactd can afford to be more thorough than a direct compaction trying to limit allocation latency, or kswapd whose primary goal is to reclaim. For testing, I used stress-highalloc configured to do order-9 allocations with GFP_NOWAIT|__GFP_HIGH|__GFP_COMP, so they relied just on kswapd/kcompactd reclaim/compaction (the interfering kernel builds in phases 1 and 2 work as usual): stress-highalloc 4.5-rc1+before 4.5-rc1+after -nodirect -nodirect Success 1 Min 1.00 ( 0.00%) 5.00 (-66.67%) Success 1 Mean 1.40 ( 0.00%) 6.20 (-55.00%) Success 1 Max 2.00 ( 0.00%) 7.00 (-16.67%) Success 2 Min 1.00 ( 0.00%) 5.00 (-66.67%) Success 2 Mean 1.80 ( 0.00%) 6.40 (-52.38%) Success 2 Max 3.00 ( 0.00%) 7.00 (-16.67%) Success 3 Min 34.00 ( 0.00%) 62.00 ( 1.59%) Success 3 Mean 41.80 ( 0.00%) 63.80 ( 1.24%) Success 3 Max 53.00 ( 0.00%) 65.00 ( 2.99%) User 3166.67 3181.09 System 1153.37 1158.25 Elapsed 1768.53 1799.37 4.5-rc1+before 4.5-rc1+after -nodirect -nodirect Direct pages scanned 32938 32797 Kswapd pages scanned 2183166 2202613 Kswapd pages reclaimed 2152359 2143524 Direct pages reclaimed 32735 32545 Percentage direct scans 1% 1% THP fault alloc 579 612 THP collapse alloc 304 316 THP splits 0 0 THP fault fallback 793 778 THP collapse fail 11 16 Compaction stalls 1013 1007 Compaction success 92 67 Compaction failures 920 939 Page migrate success 238457 721374 Page migrate failure 23021 23469 Compaction pages isolated 504695 1479924 Compaction migrate scanned 661390 8812554 Compaction free scanned 13476658 84327916 Compaction cost 262 838 After this patch we see improvements in allocation success rate (especially for phase 3) along with increased compaction activity. The compaction stalls (direct compaction) in the interfering kernel builds (probably THP's) also decreased somewhat thanks to kcompactd activity, yet THP alloc successes improved a bit. Note that elapsed and user time isn't so useful for this benchmark, because of the background interference being unpredictable. It's just to quickly spot some major unexpected differences. System time is somewhat more useful and that didn't increase. Also (after adjusting mmtests' ftrace monitor): Time kswapd awake 2547781 2269241 Time kcompactd awake 0 119253 Time direct compacting 939937 557649 Time kswapd compacting 0 0 Time kcompactd compacting 0 119099 The decrease of overal time spent compacting appears to not match the increased compaction stats. I suspect the tasks get rescheduled and since the ftrace monitor doesn't see that, the reported time is wall time, not CPU time. But arguably direct compactors care about overall latency anyway, whether busy compacting or waiting for CPU doesn't matter. And that latency seems to almost halved. It's also interesting how much time kswapd spent awake just going through all the priorities and failing to even try compacting, over and over. We can also configure stress-highalloc to perform both direct reclaim/compaction and wakeup kswapd/kcompactd, by using GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH|__GFP_COMP: stress-highalloc 4.5-rc1+before 4.5-rc1+after -direct -direct Success 1 Min 4.00 ( 0.00%) 9.00 (-50.00%) Success 1 Mean 8.00 ( 0.00%) 10.00 (-19.05%) Success 1 Max 12.00 ( 0.00%) 11.00 ( 15.38%) Success 2 Min 4.00 ( 0.00%) 9.00 (-50.00%) Success 2 Mean 8.20 ( 0.00%) 10.00 (-16.28%) Success 2 Max 13.00 ( 0.00%) 11.00 ( 8.33%) Success 3 Min 75.00 ( 0.00%) 74.00 ( 1.33%) Success 3 Mean 75.60 ( 0.00%) 75.20 ( 0.53%) Success 3 Max 77.00 ( 0.00%) 76.00 ( 0.00%) User 3344.73 3246.04 System 1194.24 1172.29 Elapsed 1838.04 1836.76 4.5-rc1+before 4.5-rc1+after -direct -direct Direct pages scanned 125146 120966 Kswapd pages scanned 2119757 2135012 Kswapd pages reclaimed 2073183 2108388 Direct pages reclaimed 124909 120577 Percentage direct scans 5% 5% THP fault alloc 599 652 THP collapse alloc 323 354 THP splits 0 0 THP fault fallback 806 793 THP collapse fail 17 16 Compaction stalls 2457 2025 Compaction success 906 518 Compaction failures 1551 1507 Page migrate success 2031423 2360608 Page migrate failure 32845 40852 Compaction pages isolated 4129761 4802025 Compaction migrate scanned 11996712 21750613 Compaction free scanned 214970969 344372001 Compaction cost 2271 2694 In this scenario, this patch doesn't change the overall success rate as direct compaction already tries all it can. There's however significant reduction in direct compaction stalls (that is, the number of allocations that went into direct compaction). The number of successes (i.e. direct compaction stalls that ended up with successful allocation) is reduced by the same number. This means the offload to kcompactd is working as expected, and direct compaction is reduced either due to detecting contention, or compaction deferred by kcompactd. In the previous version of this patchset there was some apparent reduction of success rate, but the changes in this version (such as using sync compaction only), new baseline kernel, and/or averaging results from 5 executions (my bet), made this go away.

Memory compaction can be currently performed in several contexts: - kswapd balancing a zone after a high-order allocation failure - direct compaction to satisfy a high-order allocation, including THP page fault attemps - khugepaged trying to collapse a hugepage - manually from /proc The purpose of compaction is two-fold. The obvious purpose is to satisfy a (pending or future) high-order allocation, and is easy to evaluate. The other purpose is to keep overal memory fragmentation low and help the anti-fragmentation mechanism. The success wrt the latter purpose is more The current situation wrt the purposes has a few drawbacks: - compaction is invoked only when a high-order page or hugepage is not available (or manually). This might be too late for the purposes of keeping memory fragmentation low. - direct compaction increases latency of allocations. Again, it would be better if compaction was performed asynchronously to keep fragmentation low, before the allocation itself comes. - (a special case of the previous) the cost of compaction during THP page faults can easily offset the benefits of THP. - kswapd compaction appears to be complex, fragile and not working in some scenarios. It could also end up compacting for a high-order allocation request when it should be reclaiming memory for a later order-0 request. To improve the situation, we should be able to benefit from an equivalent of kswapd, but for compaction - i.e. a background thread which responds to fragmentation and the need for high-order allocations (including hugepages) somewhat proactively. One possibility is to extend the responsibilities of kswapd, which could however complicate its design too much. It should be better to let kswapd handle reclaim, as order-0 allocations are often more critical than high-order ones. Another possibility is to extend khugepaged, but this kthread is a single instance and tied to THP configs. This patch goes with the option of a new set of per-node kthreads called kcompactd, and lays the foundations, without introducing any new tunables. The lifecycle mimics kswapd kthreads, including the memory hotplug hooks. For compaction, kcompactd uses the standard compaction_suitable() and ompact_finished() criteria and the deferred compaction functionality. Unlike direct compaction, it uses only sync compaction, as there's no allocation latency to minimize. This patch doesn't yet add a call to wakeup_kcompactd. The kswapd compact/reclaim loop for high-order pages will be replaced by waking up kcompactd in the next patch with the description of what's wrong with the old approach. Waking up of the kcompactd threads is also tied to kswapd activity and follows these rules: - we don't want to affect any fastpaths, so wake up kcompactd only from the slowpath, as it's done for kswapd - if kswapd is doing reclaim, it's more important than compaction, so don't invoke kcompactd until kswapd goes to sleep - the target order used for kswapd is passed to kcompactd Future possible future uses for kcompactd include the ability to wake up kcompactd on demand in special situations, such as when hugepages are not available (currently not done due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD) or when a fragmentation event (i.e. __rmqueue_fallback()) occurs. It's also possible to perform periodic compaction with kcompactd.

During work on kcompactd integration I have spotted a confusing check of balance_classzone_idx, which I believe is bogus. The balanced_classzone_idx is filled by balance_pgdat() as the highest zone it attempted to balance. This was introduced by commit dc83edd9 ("mm: kswapd: use the classzone idx that kswapd was using for sleeping_prematurely()"). The intention is that (as expressed in today's function names), the value used for kswapd_shrink_zone() calls in balance_pgdat() is the same as for the decisions in kswapd_try_to_sleep(). An unwanted side-effect of that commit was breaking the checks in kswapd() whether there was another kswapd_wakeup with a tighter (=lower) classzone_idx. Commits 215ddd66 ("mm: vmscan: only read new_classzone_idx from pgdat when reclaiming successfully") and d2ebd0f6 ("kswapd: avoid unnecessary rebalance after an unsuccessful balancing") tried to fixed, but apparently introduced a bogus check that this patch removes. Consider zone indexes X < Y < Z, where: - Z is the value used for the first kswapd wakeup. - Y is returned as balanced_classzone_idx, which means zones with index higher than Y (including Z) were found to be unreclaimable. - X is the value used for the second kswapd wakeup The new wakeup with value X means that kswapd is now supposed to balance harder all zones with index <= X. But instead, due to Y < Z, it will go sleep and won't read the new value X. This is subtly wrong. The effect of this patch is that kswapd will react better in some situations, where e.g. the first wakeup is for ZONE_DMA32, the second is for ZONE_DMA, and due to unreclaimable ZONE_NORMAL. Before this patch, kswapd would go sleep instead of reclaiming ZONE_DMA harder. I expect these situations are very rare, and more value is in better maintainability due to the removal of confusing and bogus check. Signed-off-by:
