These helpers are only used for remapping the ISA I/O base. Replace the mapping side with a remap_isa_range helper in isa-bridge.c that hard codes all the known arguments, and just remove __iounmap_at in favour of open coding it in the only caller. Signed-off-by:

Factor code shared between pci_64 and electra_cf into a ioremap_pbh helper that follows the normal ioremap semantics, and returns a useful __iomem pointer. Note that it opencodes __ioremap_at as we know from the callers the slab is available. Switch pci_64 to also store the result as __iomem pointer, and unmap the result using iounmap instead of force casting and using vmalloc APIs. Signed-off-by:

Patch series "decruft the vmalloc API", v2. Peter noticed that with some dumb luck you can toast the kernel address space with exported vmalloc symbols. I used this as an opportunity to decruft the vmalloc.c API and make it much more systematic. This also removes any chance to create vmalloc mappings outside the designated areas or using executable permissions from modules. Besides that it removes more than 300 lines of code. This patch (of 29): Use the designated helper for allocating executable kernel memory, and remove the now unused PAGE_KERNEL_RX define. Signed-off-by:

Now, when reading /proc/PID/smaps, the PMD migration entry in page table is simply ignored. To improve the accuracy of /proc/PID/smaps, its parsing and processing is added. To test the patch, we run pmbench to eat 400 MB memory in background, then run /usr/bin/migratepages and `cat /proc/PID/smaps` every second. The issue as follows can be reproduced within 60 seconds. Before the patch, for the fully populated 400 MB anonymous VMA, some THP pages under migration may be lost as below. 7f3f6a7e5000-7f3f837e5000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 Size: 409600 kB KernelPageSize: 4 kB MMUPageSize: 4 kB Rss: 407552 kB Pss: 407552 kB Shared_Clean: 0 kB Shared_Dirty: 0 kB Private_Clean: 0 kB Private_Dirty: 407552 kB Referenced: 301056 kB Anonymous: 407552 kB LazyFree: 0 kB AnonHugePages: 405504 kB ShmemPmdMapped: 0 kB FilePmdMapped: 0 kB Shared_Hugetlb: 0 kB Private_Hugetlb: 0 kB Swap: 0 kB SwapPss: 0 kB Locked: 0 kB THPeligible: 1 VmFlags: rd wr mr mw me ac After the patch, it will be always, 7f3f6a7e5000-7f3f837e5000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 Size: 409600 kB KernelPageSize: 4 kB MMUPageSize: 4 kB Rss: 409600 kB Pss: 409600 kB Shared_Clean: 0 kB Shared_Dirty: 0 kB Private_Clean: 0 kB Private_Dirty: 409600 kB Referenced: 294912 kB Anonymous: 409600 kB LazyFree: 0 kB AnonHugePages: 407552 kB ShmemPmdMapped: 0 kB FilePmdMapped: 0 kB Shared_Hugetlb: 0 kB Private_Hugetlb: 0 kB Swap: 0 kB SwapPss: 0 kB Locked: 0 kB THPeligible: 1 VmFlags: rd wr mr mw me ac Signed-off-by:

The page table entry is passed in the 'val' argument to note_page(), however this was previously an "unsigned long" which is fine on 64-bit platforms. But for 32 bit x86 it is not always big enough to contain a page table entry which may be 64 bits. Change the type to u64 to ensure that it is always big enough.

Patch series "Fix W+X debug feature on x86" Jan alerted me[1] that the W+X detection debug feature was broken in x86 by my change[2] to switch x86 to use the generic ptdump infrastructure. Fundamentally the approach of trying to move the calculation of effective permissions into note_page() was broken because note_page() is only called for 'leaf' entries and the effective permissions are passed down via the internal nodes of the page tree. The solution I've taken here is to create a new (optional) callback which is called for all nodes of the page tree and therefore can calculate the effective permissions. Secondly on some configurations (32 bit with PAE) "unsigned long" is not large enough to store the table entries. The fix here is simple - let's just use a u64.

To calculate the actual effective permissions it is necessary to observe the full hierarchy of the page tree. Introduce a new callback for ptdump which is called for every entry and can therefore update the prot_levels array correctly. note_page() can then simply access the appropriate element in the array.

Add a memory.swap.high knob, which can be used to protect the system from SWAP exhaustion. The mechanism used for penalizing is similar to memory.high penalty (sleep on return to user space). That is not to say that the knob itself is equivalent to memory.high. The objective is more to protect the system from potentially buggy tasks consuming a lot of swap and impacting other tasks, or even bringing the whole system to stand still with complete SWAP exhaustion. Hopefully without the need to find per-task hard limits. Slowing misbehaving tasks down gradually allows user space oom killers or other protection mechanisms to react. oomd and earlyoom already do killing based on swap exhaustion, and memory.swap.high protection will help implement such userspace oom policies more reliably. We can use one counter for number of pages allocated under pressure to save struct task space and avoid two separate hierarchy walks on the hot path. The exact overage is calculated on return to user space, anyway. Take the new high limit into account when determining if swap is "full". Borrowing the explanation from Johannes: The idea behind "swap full" is that as long as the workload has plenty of swap space available and it's not changing its memory contents, it makes sense to generously hold on to copies of data in the swap device, even after the swapin. A later reclaim cycle can drop the page without any IO. Trading disk space for IO. But the only two ways to reclaim a swap slot is when they're faulted in and the references go away, or by scanning the virtual address space like swapoff does - which is very expensive (one could argue it's too expensive even for swapoff, it's often more practical to just reboot). So at some point in the fill level, we have to start freeing up swap slots on fault/swapin. Otherwise we could eventually run out of swap slots while they're filled with copies of data that is also in RAM. We don't want to OOM a workload because its available swap space is filled with redundant cache. Signed-off-by:

Patch series "memcg: Slow down swap allocation as the available space gets depleted", v6. Tejun describes the problem as follows: When swap runs out, there's an abrupt change in system behavior - the anonymous memory suddenly becomes unmanageable which readily breaks any sort of memory isolation and can bring down the whole system. To avoid that, oomd [1] monitors free swap space and triggers kills when it drops below the specific threshold (e.g. 15%). While this works, it's far from ideal: - Depending on IO performance and total swap size, a given headroom might not be enough or too much. - oomd has to monitor swap depletion in addition to the usual pressure metrics and it currently doesn't consider memory.swap.max. Solve this by adapting parts of the approach that memory.high uses - slow down allocation as the resource gets depleted turning the depletion behavior from abrupt cliff one to gradual degradation observable through memory pressure metric. [1] https://github.com/facebookincubator/oomd This patch (of 4): Slice the memory overage calculation logic a little bit so we can reuse it to apply a similar penalty to the swap. The logic which accesses the memory-specific fields (use and high values) has to be taken out of calculate_high_delay(). Signed-off-by:

One way to measure the efficiency of memory reclaim is to look at the ratio (pgscan+pfrefill)/pgsteal. However at the moment these stats are not updated consistently at the system level and the ratio of these are not very meaningful. The pgsteal and pgscan are updated for only global reclaim while pgrefill gets updated for global as well as cgroup reclaim. Please note that this difference is only for system level vmstats. The cgroup stats returned by memory.stat are actually consistent. The cgroup's pgsteal contains number of reclaimed pages for global as well as cgroup reclaim. So, one way to get the system level stats is to get these stats from root's memory.stat, so, expose memory.stat for the root cgroup. From Johannes Weiner: There are subtle differences between /proc/vmstat and memory.stat, and cgroup-aware code that wants to watch the full hierarchy currently has to know about these intricacies and translate semantics back and forth. Generally having the fully recursive memory.stat at the root level could help a broader range of usecases. Why not fix the stats by including both the global and cgroup reclaim activity instead of exposing root cgroup's memory.stat? The reason is the benefit of having metrics exposing the activity that happens purely due to machine capacity rather than localized activity that happens due to the limits throughout the cgroup tree. Additionally there are userspace tools like sysstat(sar) which reads these stats to inform about the system level reclaim activity. So, we should not break such use-cases. Suggested-by:

There's a new workingset counter introduced in commit 1899ad18 ("mm: workingset: tell cache transitions from workingset thrashing"). With the help of this counter we can know the workingset is transitioning or thrashing. To leverage the benifit of this counter to memcg, we should introduce it into memory.stat. Then we could know the workingset of the workload inside a memcg better. Bellow is the verification of this new counter in memory.stat. Read a file into the memory and then read it again to make these pages be active. The size of this file is 1G. (memory.max is greater than file size) The counters in memory.stat will be inactive_file 0 active_file 1073639424 workingset_refault 0 workingset_activate 0 workingset_restore 0 workingset_nodereclaim 0 Trigger the memcg reclaim by setting a lower value to memory.high, and then some pages will be demoted into inactive list, and then some pages in the inactive list will be evicted into the storage. inactive_file 498094080 active_file 310063104 workingset_refault 0 workingset_activate 0 workingset_restore 0 workingset_nodereclaim 0 Then recover the memory.high and read the file into memory again.

Fix the heading and Size/Used/Priority field alignments in /proc/swaps. If the Size and/or Used value is >= 10000000 (8 bytes), then the alignment by using tab characters is broken. This patch maintains the use of tabs for alignment. If spaces are preferred, we can just use a Field Width specifier for the bytes and inuse fields. That way those fields don't have to be a multiple of 8 bytes in width. E.g., with a field width of 12, both Size and Used would always fit on the first line of an 80-column wide terminal (only Priority would be on the second line). There are actually 2 problems: heading alignment and field width. On an xterm, if Used is 7 bytes in length, the tab does nothing, and the display is like this, with no space/tab between the Used and Priority fields. (ugh) Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/sda8 partition 16779260 2023012-1 To be clear, if one does 'cat /proc/swaps >/tmp/proc.swaps', it does look different, like so: Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/sda8 partition 16779260 2086988 -1 Signed-off-by:

In some swap scalability test, it is found that there are heavy lock contention on swap cache even if we have split one swap cache radix tree per swap device to one swap cache radix tree every 64 MB trunk in commit 4b3ef9da ("mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks"). The reason is as follow. After the swap device becomes fragmented so that there's no free swap cluster, the swap device will be scanned linearly to find the free swap slots. swap_info_struct->cluster_next is the next scanning base that is shared by all CPUs. So nearby free swap slots will be allocated for different CPUs. The probability for multiple CPUs to operate on the same 64 MB trunk is high. This causes the lock contention on the swap cache. To solve the issue, in this patch, for SSD swap device, a percpu version next scanning base (cluster_next_cpu) is added. Every CPU will use its own per-cpu next scanning base. And after finishing scanning a 64MB trunk, the per-cpu scanning base will be changed to the beginning of another randomly selected 64MB trunk. In this way, the probability for multiple CPUs to operate on the same 64 MB trunk is reduced greatly. Thus the lock contention is reduced too. For HDD, because sequential access is more important for IO performance, the original shared next scanning base is used. To test the patch, we have run 16-process pmbench memory benchmark on a 2-socket server machine with 48 cores. One ram disk is configured as the swap device per socket. The pmbench working-set size is much larger than the available memory so that swapping is triggered. The memory read/write ratio is 80/20 and the accessing pattern is random. In the original implementation, the lock contention on the swap cache is heavy. The perf profiling data of the lock contention code path is as following, _raw_spin_lock_irq.add_to_swap_cache.add_to_swap.shrink_page_list: 7.91 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.__remove_mapping.shrink_page_list: 7.11 _raw_spin_lock.swapcache_free_entries.free_swap_slot.__swap_entry_free: 2.51 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.swap_cgroup_record.mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap: 1.66 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_inactive_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 1.29 _raw_spin_lock.free_pcppages_bulk.drain_pages_zone.drain_pages: 1.03 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_active_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 0.93 After applying this patch, it becomes, _raw_spin_lock.swapcache_free_entries.free_swap_slot.__swap_entry_free: 3.58 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_inactive_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 2.3 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.swap_cgroup_record.mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap: 2.26 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_active_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 1.8 _raw_spin_lock.free_pcppages_bulk.drain_pages_zone.drain_pages: 1.19 The lock contention on the swap cache is almost eliminated.

We need really fast disk to show the benefit. I have tried this on 2 Intel P3600 NVMe disks. The performance improvement is only about 1%. The improvement should be better on the faster disks, such as Intel Optane disk.

Now, the scalability of swap code will drop much when the swap device becomes fragmented, because the swap slots allocation batching stops working. To solve the problem, in this patch, we will try to scan a little more swap slots with restricted effort to batch the swap slots allocation even if the swap device is fragmented. Test shows that the benchmark score can increase up to 37.1% with the patch. Details are as follows. The swap code has a per-cpu cache of swap slots. These batch swap space allocations to improve swap subsystem scaling. In the following code path, add_to_swap() get_swap_page() refill_swap_slots_cache() get_swap_pages() scan_swap_map_slots() scan_swap_map_slots() and get_swap_pages() can return multiple swap slots for each call. These slots will be cached in the per-CPU swap slots cache, so that several following swap slot requests will be fulfilled there to avoid the lock contention in the lower level swap space allocation/freeing code path. But this only works when there are free swap clusters. If a swap device becomes so fragmented that there's no free swap clusters, scan_swap_map_slots() and get_swap_pages() will return only one swap slot for each call in the above code path. Effectively, this falls back to the situation before the swap slots cache was introduced, the heavy lock contention on the swap related locks kills the scalability. Why does it work in this way? Because the swap device could be large, and the free swap slot scanning could be quite time consuming, to avoid taking too much time to scanning free swap slots, the conservative method was used. In fact, this can be improved via scanning a little more free slots with strictly restricted effort. Which is implemented in this patch. In scan_swap_map_slots(), after the first free swap slot is gotten, we will try to scan a little more, but only if we haven't scanned too many slots (< LATENCY_LIMIT). That is, the added scanning latency is strictly restricted. To test the patch, we have run 16-process pmbench memory benchmark on a 2-socket server machine with 48 cores. Multiple ram disks are configured as the swap devices. The pmbench working-set size is much larger than the available memory so that swapping is triggered. The memory read/write ratio is 80/20 and the accessing pattern is random, so the swap space becomes highly fragmented during the test. In the original implementation, the lock contention on swap related locks is very heavy. The perf profiling data of the lock contention code path is as following, _raw_spin_lock.get_swap_pages.get_swap_page.add_to_swap: 21.03 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_inactive_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 1.92 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_active_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 1.72 _raw_spin_lock.free_pcppages_bulk.drain_pages_zone.drain_pages: 0.69 While after applying this patch, it becomes, _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_inactive_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 4.89 _raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_active_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 3.85 _raw_spin_lock.free_pcppages_bulk.drain_pages_zone.drain_pages: 1.1 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.pagevec_lru_move_fn.__lru_cache_add.do_swap_page: 0.88 That is, the lock contention on the swap locks is eliminated. And the pmbench score increases 37.1%. The swapin throughput increases 45.7% from 2.02 GB/s to 2.94 GB/s. While the swapout throughput increases 45.3% from 2.04 GB/s to 2.97 GB/s.

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:

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.
