printk: set may_schedule for some of console_trylock() callers
console_unlock() allows to cond_resched() if its caller has set
`console_may_schedule' to 1, since
8d91f8b15361 ("printk: do
cond_resched() between lines while outputting to consoles").
The rules are:
-- console_lock() always sets `console_may_schedule' to 1
-- console_trylock() always sets `console_may_schedule' to 0
However, console_trylock() callers (among them is printk()) do not
always call printk() from atomic contexts, and some of them can
cond_resched() in console_unlock(), so console_trylock() can set
`console_may_schedule' to 1 for such processes.
For !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT kernels, however, console_trylock() always
sets `console_may_schedule' to 0.
It's possible to drop explicit preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() in
vprintk_emit(), because console_unlock() and console_trylock() are now
smart enough:
a) console_unlock() does not cond_resched() when it's unsafe
(console_trylock() takes care of that)
b) console_unlock() does can_use_console() check.

printk: move can_use_console() out of console_trylock_for_printk()
console_unlock() allows to cond_resched() if its caller has set
`console_may_schedule' to 1 (this functionality is present since
8d91f8b15361 ("printk: do cond_resched() between lines while outputting

The rules are:
-- console_lock() always sets `console_may_schedule' to 1
-- console_trylock() always sets `console_may_schedule' to 0
printk() calls console_unlock() with preemption desabled, which
basically can lead to RCU stalls, watchdog soft lockups, etc. if
something is simultaneously calling printk() frequent enough (IOW,
console_sem owner always has new data to send to console divers and
can't leave console_unlock() for a long time).
printk()->console_trylock() callers do not necessarily execute in atomic
contexts, and some of them can cond_resched() in console_unlock().
console_trylock() can set `console_may_schedule' to 1 (allow
cond_resched() later in consoe_unlock()) when it's safe.
This patch (of 3):
vprintk_emit() disables preemption around console_trylock_for_printk()
and console_unlock() calls for a strong reason -- can_use_console()
check. The thing is that vprintl_emit() can be called on a CPU that is
not fully brought up yet (!cpu_online()), which potentially can cause
problems if console driver wants to access per-cpu data. A console
driver can explicitly state that it's safe to call it from !online cpu
by setting CON_ANYTIME bit in console ->flags. That's why for
!cpu_online() can_use_console() iterates all the console to find out if
there is a CON_ANYTIME console, otherwise console_unlock() must be
avoided.
can_use_console() ensures that console_unlock() call is safe in
vprintk_emit() only; console_lock() and console_trylock() are not
covered by this check. Even though call_console_drivers(), invoked from
console_cont_flush() and console_unlock(), tests `!cpu_online() &&
CON_ANYTIME' for_each_console(), it may be too late, which can result in
messages loss.
Assume that we have 2 cpus -- CPU0 is online, CPU1 is !online, and no
CON_ANYTIME consoles available.
CPU0 online CPU1 !online
console_trylock()
...
console_unlock()
console_cont_flush
spin_lock logbuf_lock
if (!cont.len) {
spin_unlock logbuf_lock
return
}
for (;;) {
vprintk_emit
spin_lock logbuf_lock
log_store
spin_unlock logbuf_lock
spin_lock logbuf_lock
!console_trylock_for_printk msg_print_text
return console_idx = log_next()
console_seq++
console_prev = msg->flags
spin_unlock logbuf_lock
call_console_drivers()
for_each_console(con) {
if (!cpu_online() &&
!(con->flags & CON_ANYTIME))
continue;
}
/*
* no message printed, we lost it
*/
vprintk_emit
spin_lock logbuf_lock
log_store
spin_unlock logbuf_lock
!console_trylock_for_printk
return
/*
* go to the beginning of the loop,
* find out there are new messages,
* lose it
*/
}
console_trylock()/console_lock() call on CPU1 may come from cpu
notifiers registered on that CPU. Since notifiers are not getting
unregistered when CPU is going DOWN, all of the notifiers receive
notifications during CPU UP. For example, on my x86_64, I see around 50
notification sent from offline CPU to itself
[swapper/2] from cpu:2 to:2 action:CPU_STARTING hotplug_hrtick
[swapper/2] from cpu:2 to:2 action:CPU_STARTING blk_mq_main_cpu_notify
[swapper/2] from cpu:2 to:2 action:CPU_STARTING blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify
[swapper/2] from cpu:2 to:2 action:CPU_STARTING console_cpu_notify
while doing
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
So grabbing the console_sem lock while CPU is !online is possible,
in theory.
This patch moves can_use_console() check out of
console_trylock_for_printk(). Instead it calls it in console_unlock(),
so now console_lock()/console_unlock() are also 'protected' by
can_use_console(). This also means that console_trylock_for_printk() is
not really needed anymore and can be removed.

bug: set warn variable before calling WARN()
This has hit me a couple of times already. I would be debugging code
and the system would simply hang and then reboot. Finally, I found that
the problem was caused by WARN_ON_ONCE() and friends.
The macro WARN_ON_ONCE(condition) is defined as:
static bool __section(.data.unlikely) __warned;
int __ret_warn_once = !!(condition);
if (unlikely(__ret_warn_once))
if (WARN_ON(!__warned))
__warned = true;
unlikely(__ret_warn_once);
Which looks great and all. But what I have hit, is an issue when
WARN_ON() itself hits the same WARN_ON_ONCE() code. Because, the
variable __warned is not yet set. Then it too calls WARN_ON() and that
triggers the warning again. It keeps doing this until the stack is
overflowed and the system crashes.
By setting __warned first before calling WARN_ON() makes the original
WARN_ON_ONCE() really only warn once, and not an infinite amount of
times if the WARN_ON() also triggers the warning.

proc-vmcore: wrong data type casting fix
On i686 PAE enabled machine the contiguous physical area could be large
and it can cause trimming down variables in below calculation in
read_vmcore() and mmap_vmcore():
tsz = min_t(size_t, m->offset + m->size - *fpos, buflen);
That is, the types being used is like below on i686:
m->offset: unsigned long long int
m->size: unsigned long long int
*fpos: loff_t (long long int)
buflen: size_t (unsigned int)
So casting (m->offset + m->size - *fpos) by size_t means truncating a
given value by 4GB.
Suppose (m->offset + m->size - *fpos) being truncated to 0, buflen >0
then we will get tsz = 0. It is of course not an expected result.
Similarly we could also get other truncated values less than buflen.
Then the real size passed down is not correct any more.
If (m->offset + m->size - *fpos) is above 4GB, read_vmcore or
mmap_vmcore use the min_t result with truncated values being compared to
buflen. Then, fpos proceeds with the wrong value so that we reach below
bugs:
1) read_vmcore will refuse to continue so makedumpfile fails.
2) mmap_vmcore will trigger BUG_ON() in remap_pfn_range().
Use unsigned long long in min_t instead so that the variables in are not
truncated.

timer: convert timer_slack_ns from unsigned long to u64
This patchset introduces a /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface which
would allow controlling processes to be able to set the timerslack value
on other processes in order to save power by avoiding wakeups (Something
Android currently does via out-of-tree patches).
The first patch tries to fix the internal timer_slack_ns usage which was
defined as a long, which limits the slack range to ~4 seconds on 32bit
systems. It converts it to a u64, which provides the same basically
unlimited slack (500 years) on both 32bit and 64bit machines.
The second patch introduces the /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface
which allows the full 64bit slack range for a task to be read or set on
both 32bit and 64bit machines.
With these two patches, on a 32bit machine, after setting the slack on
bash to 10 seconds:
$ time sleep 1
real 0m10.747s
user 0m0.001s
sys 0m0.005s
The first patch is a little ugly, since I had to chase the slack delta
arguments through a number of functions converting them to u64s. Let me
know if it makes sense to break that up more or not.
Other than that things are fairly straightforward.
This patch (of 2):
The timer_slack_ns value in the task struct is currently a unsigned
long. This means that on 32bit applications, the maximum slack is just
over 4 seconds. However, on 64bit machines, its much much larger (~500
years).
This disparity could make application development a little (as well as
the default_slack) to a u64. This means both 32bit and 64bit systems
have the same effective internal slack range.
Now the existing ABI via PR_GET_TIMERSLACK and PR_SET_TIMERSLACK specify
the interface as a unsigned long, so we preserve that limitation on
32bit systems, where SET_TIMERSLACK can only set the slack to a unsigned
long value, and GET_TIMERSLACK will return ULONG_MAX if the slack is
actually larger then what can be stored by an unsigned long.
This patch also modifies hrtimer functions which specified the slack
delta as a unsigned long.

mm: memcontrol: reclaim and OOM kill when shrinking memory.max below usage
Setting the original memory.limit_in_bytes hardlimit is subject to a
race condition when the desired value is below the current usage. The
code tries a few times to first reclaim and then see if the usage has
dropped to where we would like it to be, but there is no locking, and
the workload is free to continue making new charges up to the old limit.
Thus, attempting to shrink a workload relies on pure luck and hope that
the workload happens to cooperate.
To fix this in the cgroup2 memory.max knob, do it the other way round:
set the limit first, then try enforcement. And if reclaim is not able
to succeed, trigger OOM kills in the group. Keep going until the new
limit is met, we run out of OOM victims and there's only unreclaimable
memory left, or the task writing to memory.max is killed. This allows
users to shrink groups reliably, and the behavior is consistent with
what happens when new charges are attempted in excess of memory.max.

mm: memcontrol: reclaim when shrinking memory.high below usage
When setting memory.high below usage, nothing happens until the next
charge comes along, and then it will only reclaim its own charge and not
the now potentially huge excess of the new memory.high. This can cause
groups to stay in excess of their memory.high indefinitely.
To fix that, when shrinking memory.high, kick off a reclaim cycle that
goes after the delta.

tools/vm/page-types.c: avoid memset() in walk_pfn() when count == 1
I found that page-types is very slow and my testing shows many timeout

$ time ./page-types -p $(pgrep -f test_alloc)

Most of time is spent in memset(). Currently memset() clears over whole
buffer for every walk_pfn() call, which is inefficient when walk_pfn()
is called from walk_vma(), because in that case walk_pfn() is called for
each pfn. So this patch limits the zero initialization only for the
first element.

mm: meminit: initialise more memory for inode/dentry hash tables in early boot
Upstream has supported page parallel initialisation for X86 and the boot
time is improved greately. Some tests have been done for Power.
Here is the result I have done with different memory size.
* 4GB memory:
boot time is as the following:
with patch vs without patch: 10.4s vs 24.5s
boot time is improved 57%
* 200GB memory:
boot time looks the same with and without patches.
boot time is about 38s
* 32TB memory:
boot time looks the same with and without patches
boot time is about 160s.
The boot time is much shorter than X86 with 24TB memory.
From community discussion, it costs about 694s for X86 24T system.
Parallel initialisation improves the performance by deferring memory
initilisation to kswap with N kthreads, it should improve the performance
therotically.
In testing on X86, performance is improved greatly with huge memory. But
on Power platform, it is improved greatly with less than 100GB memory.
For huge memory, it is not improved greatly. But it saves the time with
several threads at least, as the following information shows(32TB system
log):

It saves the time about 550*16 ms at least, although it can be ignore to
compare the boot time about 160 seconds. What's more, the boot time is
much shorter on Power even without patches than x86 for huge memory
machine.
So this patchset is still necessary to be enabled for Power.
This patch (of 2):
This patch is based on Mel Gorman's old patch in the mailing list,
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/5/280 which is discussed but it is fixed with
a completion to wait for all memory initialised in page_alloc_init_late().
It is to fix the OOM problem on X86 with 24TB memory which allocates
memory in late initialisation. But for Power platform with 32TB memory,
it causes a call trace in vfs_caches_init->inode_init() and inode hash
table needs more memory. So this patch allocates 1GB for 0.25TB/node for
large system as it is mentioned in https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/1/627
This call trace is found on Power with 32TB memory, 1024CPUs, 16nodes.
Currently, it only allocates 2GB*16=32GB for early initialisation. But
Dentry cache hash table needes 16GB and Inode cache hash table needs 16GB.
So the system have no enough memory for it. The log from dmesg as the
following:

thp: rewrite freeze_page()/unfreeze_page() with generic rmap walkers
freeze_page() and unfreeze_page() helpers evolved in rather complex
beasts. It would be nice to cut complexity of this code.
This patch rewrites freeze_page() using standard try_to_unmap().
unfreeze_page() is rewritten with remove_migration_ptes().
The result is much simpler.
But the new variant is somewhat slower for PTE-mapped THPs. Current
helpers iterates over VMAs the compound page is mapped to, and then over
ptes within this VMA. New helpers iterates over small page, then over
VMA the small page mapped to, and only then find relevant pte.
We have short cut for PMD-mapped THP: we directly install migration
entries on PMD split.
I don't think the slowdown is critical, considering how much simpler
result is and that split_huge_page() is quite rare nowadays. It only
happens due memory pressure or migration.

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.

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.)

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. This problem is hard to find
without this page reference tracepoint facility.
Enabling this feature bloat kernel text 30 KB in my configuration.

mm: introduce page reference manipulation functions
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).

mm: thp: set THP defrag by default to madvise and add a stall-free defrag option
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

This benchmark is trying to fault an anonymous mapping while there is a

cost to kswapd, kcompactd and khugepaged where it belongs.

mm: scale kswapd watermarks in proportion to memory
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.

mm/page_alloc.c: calculate 'available' memory in a separate function
Add a new field, VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_AVAIL, to virtio_balloon memory
statistics protocol, corresponding to 'Available' in /proc/meminfo.
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.
This patch (of 2):
Factor out calculation of the available memory counter into a separate
exportable function, in order to be able to use it in other parts of the
kernel.
In particular, it appears a relevant metric to report to the hypervisor
via virtio-balloon statistics interface (in a followup patch).

mm: workingset: size shadow nodes lru basing on file cache size
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.

radix-tree: account radix_tree_node to memory cgroup
Allocation of radix_tree_node objects can be easily triggered from

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.

mm: memcontrol: enable kmem accounting for all cgroups in the legacy hierarchy
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.

mm, kswapd: replace kswapd compaction with waking up kcompactd
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):

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:

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.
Ftrace-based stats seem to roughly agree:

mm, compaction: introduce kcompactd
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.

mm, kswapd: remove bogus check of balance_classzone_idx
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
dc83edd941f4
("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
215ddd6664ce ("mm: vmscan: only read
new_classzone_idx from pgdat when reclaiming successfully") and
d2ebd0f6b895 ("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.

mm: memcontrol: do not bypass slab charge if memcg is offline
Slab pages are charged in two steps. First, an appropriate per memcg
cache is selected (see memcg_kmem_get_cache) basing on the current
context, then the new slab page is charged to the memory cgroup which
the selected cache was created for (see memcg_charge_slab ->
__memcg_kmem_charge_memcg). It is OK to bypass kmemcg charge at step 1,
but if step 1 succeeded and we successfully allocated a new slab page,
step 2 must be performed, otherwise we would get a per memcg kmem cache
which contains a slab that does not hold a reference to the memory
cgroup owning the cache. Since per memcg kmem caches are destroyed on
memcg css free, this could result in freeing a cache while there are
still active objects in it.
However, currently we will bypass slab page charge if the memory cgroup
owning the cache is offline (see __memcg_kmem_charge_memcg). This is
very unlikely to occur in practice, because for this to happen a process
must be migrated to a different cgroup and the old cgroup must be
removed while the process is in kmalloc somewhere between steps 1 and 2
(e.g. trying to allocate a new page). Nevertheless, it's still better
to eliminate such a possibility.

While working on a script to restore all sysctl params before a series of

Commit
1f330c327900 ("drivers/firmware/broadcom/bcm47xx_nvram.c: use
__ioread32_copy() instead of open-coding") switched to use a generic
copy function, but failed to notice that the header pointer is updated
between the two copies, resulting in bogus data being copied in the
latter one. Fix by keeping the old header pointer.
The patch fixes totally broken networking on WRT54GL router (both LAN and

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
- Asynchronous address range scrub:
Given the capacities of next generation persistent memory devices a
scrub operation to find all poison may take 10s of seconds. We
want this scrub work to be done asynchronously with the rest of
system initialization, so we move it out of line from the NFIT
probing, i.e. acpi_nfit_add().
- Clear poison:
ACPI 6.1 introduces the ability to send "clear error" commands to
the ACPI0012:00 device representing the root of an "nvdimm bus".
Similar to relocating a bad block on a disk, this support clears
media errors in response to a write.
- Persistent memory resource tracking:
A persistent memory range may be designated as simply "reserved" by
platform firmware in the efi/e820 memory map. Later when the NFIT
driver loads it discovers that the range is "Persistent Memory".
The NFIT bus driver inserts a resource to advertise that
"persistent" attribute in the system resource tree for /proc/iomem
and kernel-internal usages.
- Miscellaneous cleanups and fixes:
Workaround section misaligned pmem ranges when allocating a struct
page memmap, fix handling of the read-only case in the ioctl path,
and clean up block device major number allocation.

- Most attention this cycle went to optimizing blk-mq request-based DM
(dm-mq) that is used exclussively by DM multipath:
- A stable fix for dm-mq that eliminates excessive context
switching offers the biggest performance improvement (for both
IOPs and throughput).
- But more work is needed, during the next cycle, to reduce
spinlock contention in DM multipath on large NUMA systems.
- A stable fix for a NULL pointer seen when DM stats is enabled on a DM
multipath device that must requeue an IO due to path failure.
- A stable fix for DM snapshot to disallow the COW and origin devices
from being identical. This amounts to graceful failure in the face
of userspace error because these devices shouldn't ever be identical.
- Stable fixes for DM cache and DM thin provisioning to address crashes
seen if/when their respective metadata device experiences failures
that cause the transition to 'fail_io' mode.
- The DM cache 'mq' policy is now an alias for the 'smq' policy. The
'smq' policy proved to be consistently better than 'mq'. As such
'mq', with all its complex user-facing tunables, has been eliminated.
- Improve DM thin provisioning to consistently return -ENOSPC once the
thin-pool's data volume is out of space.

bio_integrity_clone() fails in clone_bio().

Merge tag 'pm+acpi-4.6-rc1-1' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This time the majority of changes go into cpufreq and they are
significant.
First off, the way CPU frequency updates are triggered is different
now. Instead of having to set up and manage a deferrable timer for
each CPU in the system to evaluate and possibly change its frequency
periodically, cpufreq governors set up callbacks to be invoked by the
scheduler on a regular basis (basically on utilization updates). The
"old" governors, "ondemand" and "conservative", still do all of their
work in process context (although that is triggered by the scheduler
now), but intel_pstate does it all in the callback invoked by the
scheduler with no need for any additional asynchronous processing.
Of course, this eliminates the overhead related to the management of
all those timers, but also it allows the cpufreq governor code to be
simplified quite a bit. On top of that, the common code and data
structures used by the "ondemand" and "conservative" governors are
cleaned up and made more straightforward and some long-standing and
quite annoying problems are addressed. In particular, the handling of
governor sysfs attributes is modified and the related locking becomes
more fine grained which allows some concurrency problems to be avoided
(particularly deadlocks with the core cpufreq code).
In principle, the new mechanism for triggering frequency updates
allows utilization information to be passed from the scheduler to
cpufreq. Although the current code doesn't make use of it, in the
works is a new cpufreq governor that will make decisions based on the
scheduler's utilization data. That should allow the scheduler and
cpufreq to work more closely together in the long run.
In addition to the core and governor changes, cpufreq drivers are
updated too. Fixes and optimizations go into intel_pstate, the
cpufreq-dt driver is updated on top of some modification in the
Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework and there are fixes and
other updates in the powernv cpufreq driver.
Apart from the cpufreq updates there is some new ACPICA material,
including a fix for a problem introduced by previous ACPICA updates,
and some less significant changes in the ACPI code, like CPPC code
optimizations, ACPI processor driver cleanups and support for loading
ACPI tables from initrd.
Also updated are the generic power domains framework, the Intel RAPL
power capping driver and the turbostat utility and we have a bunch of
traditional assorted fixes and cleanups.
Specifics:
- Redesign of cpufreq governors and the intel_pstate driver to make
them use callbacks invoked by the scheduler to trigger CPU
frequency evaluation instead of using per-CPU deferrable timers for
that purpose (Rafael Wysocki).
- Reorganization and cleanup of cpufreq governor code to make it more
straightforward and fix some concurrency problems in it (Rafael
Wysocki, Viresh Kumar).
- Cleanup and improvements of locking in the cpufreq core (Viresh
Kumar).
- Assorted cleanups in the cpufreq core (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh
Kumar, Eric Biggers).
- intel_pstate driver updates including fixes, optimizations and a
modification to make it enable enable hardware-coordinated P-state
selection (HWP) by default if supported by the processor (Philippe
Longepe, Srinivas Pandruvada, Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar, Felipe
Franciosi).
- Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework updates to improve its
handling of voltage regulators and device clocks and updates of the
cpufreq-dt driver on top of that (Viresh Kumar, Jon Hunter).
- Updates of the powernv cpufreq driver to fix initialization and
cleanup problems in it and correct its worker thread handling with
respect to CPU offline, new powernv_throttle tracepoint (Shilpasri
Bhat).
- ACPI cpufreq driver optimization and cleanup (Rafael Wysocki).
- ACPICA updates including one fix for a regression introduced by
previos changes in the ACPICA code (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, David Box,
Colin Ian King).
- Support for installing ACPI tables from initrd (Lv Zheng).
- Optimizations of the ACPI CPPC code (Prashanth Prakash, Ashwin
Chaugule).
- Support for _HID(ACPI0010) devices (ACPI processor containers) and
ACPI processor driver cleanups (Sudeep Holla).
- Support for ACPI-based enumeration of the AMBA bus (Graeme Gregory,
Aleksey Makarov).
- Modification of the ACPI PCI IRQ management code to make it treat
255 in the Interrupt Line register as "not connected" on x86 (as
per the specification) and avoid attempts to use that value as a
valid interrupt vector (Chen Fan).
- ACPI APEI fixes related to resource leaks (Josh Hunt).
- Removal of modularity from a few ACPI drivers (BGRT, GHES,
intel_pmic_crc) that cannot be built as modules in practice (Paul
Gortmaker).
- PNP framework update to make it treat ACPI_RESOURCE_TYPE_SERIAL_BUS
as a valid resource type (Harb Abdulhamid).
- New device ID (future AMD I2C controller) in the ACPI driver for
AMD SoCs (APD) and in the designware I2C driver (Xiangliang Yu).
- Assorted ACPI cleanups (Colin Ian King, Kaiyen Chang, Oleg Drokin).
- cpuidle menu governor optimization to avoid a square root
computation in it (Rasmus Villemoes).
- Fix for potential use-after-free in the generic device properties
framework (Heikki Krogerus).
- Updates of the generic power domains (genpd) framework including
support for multiple power states of a domain, fixes and debugfs
output improvements (Axel Haslam, Jon Hunter, Laurent Pinchart,
Geert Uytterhoeven).
- Intel RAPL power capping driver updates to reduce IPI overhead in
it (Jacob Pan).
- System suspend/hibernation code cleanups (Eric Biggers, Saurabh
Sengar).
- Year 2038 fix for the process freezer (Abhilash Jindal).
- turbostat utility updates including new features (decoding of more
registers and CPUID fields, sub-second intervals support, GFX MHz
and RC6 printout, --out command line option), fixes (syscall jitter
detection and workaround, reductioin of the number of syscalls
made, fixes related to Xeon x200 processors, compiler warning
fixes) and cleanups (Len Brown, Hubert Chrzaniuk, Chen Yu)"
