mmzone: introduce folio_is_zone_movable()
Patch series "Replace is_longterm_pinnable_page()", v2. This patchset introduces some more helper functions for the folio conversions, and converts all callers of is_longterm_pinnable_page() to use folios. This patch (of 5): Introduce folio_is_zone_movable() to act as a folio equivalent for is_zone_movable_page(). This is to assist in later folio conversions.

mm: Multi-gen LRU: remove wait_event_killable()
Android 14 and later default to MGLRU [1] and field telemetry showed
occasional long tail latency (>100ms) in the reclaim path.
Tracing revealed priority inversion in the reclaim path. In
try_to_inc_max_seq(), when high priority tasks were blocked on
wait_event_killable(), the preemption of the low priority task to call
wake_up_all() caused those high priority tasks to wait longer than
necessary. In general, this problem is not different from others of its
kind, e.g., one caused by mutex_lock(). However, it is specific to MGLRU
because it introduced the new wait queue lruvec->mm_state.wait.
The purpose of this new wait queue is to avoid the thundering herd
problem. If many direct reclaimers rush into try_to_inc_max_seq(), only
one can succeed, i.e., the one to wake up the rest, and the rest who
failed might cause premature OOM kills if they do not wait. So far there
is no evidence supporting this scenario, based on how often the wait has
been hit. And this begs the question how useful the wait queue is in
practice.
Based on Minchan's recommendation, which is in line with his commit
6d4675e60135 ("mm: don't be stuck to rmap lock on reclaim path") and the
rest of the MGLRU code which also uses trylock when possible, remove the
wait queue.

mm: memory-failure: add memory failure stats to sysfs
Patch series "Introduce per NUMA node memory error statistics", v2.
Background
==========
In the RFC for Kernel Support of Memory Error Detection [1], one advantage
of software-based scanning over hardware patrol scrubber is the ability to
make statistics visible to system administrators. The statistics include
2 categories:
* Memory error statistics, for example, how many memory error are
encountered, how many of them are recovered by the kernel. Note these
memory errors are non-fatal to kernel: during the machine check
exception (MCE) handling kernel already classified MCE's severity to be
unnecessary to panic (but either action required or optional).
* Scanner statistics, for example how many times the scanner have fully
scanned a NUMA node, how many errors are first detected by the scanner.
The memory error statistics are useful to userspace and actually not
specific to scanner detected memory errors, and are the focus of this
patchset.
Motivation
==========
Memory error stats are important to userspace but insufficient in kernel
today. Datacenter administrators can better monitor a machine's memory
health with the visible stats. For example, while memory errors are
inevitable on servers with 10+ TB memory, starting server maintenance when
there are only 1~2 recovered memory errors could be overreacting; in cloud
production environment maintenance usually means live migrate all the
workload running on the server and this usually causes nontrivial
disruption to the customer. Providing insight into the scope of memory
errors on a system helps to determine the appropriate follow-up action.
In addition, the kernel's existing memory error stats need to be
standardized so that userspace can reliably count on their usefulness.
Today kernel provides following memory error info to userspace, but they
are not sufficient or have disadvantages:
* HardwareCorrupted in /proc/meminfo: number of bytes poisoned in total,
not per NUMA node stats though
* ras:memory_failure_event: only available after explicitly enabled
* /dev/mcelog provides many useful info about the MCEs, but doesn't
capture how memory_failure recovered memory MCEs
* kernel logs: userspace needs to process log text
Exposing memory error stats is also a good start for the in-kernel memory
error detector. Today the data source of memory error stats are either
direct memory error consumption, or hardware patrol scrubber detection
(either signaled as UCNA or SRAO). Once in-kernel memory scanner is
implemented, it will be the main source as it is usually configured to
scan memory DIMMs constantly and faster than hardware patrol scrubber.
How Implemented
===============
As Naoya pointed out [2], exposing memory error statistics to userspace is
useful independent of software or hardware scanner. Therefore we
implement the memory error statistics independent of the in-kernel memory
error detector. It exposes the following per NUMA node memory error
counters:
/sys/devices/system/node/node${X}/memory_failure/total
/sys/devices/system/node/node${X}/memory_failure/recovered
/sys/devices/system/node/node${X}/memory_failure/ignored
/sys/devices/system/node/node${X}/memory_failure/failed
/sys/devices/system/node/node${X}/memory_failure/delayed
These counters describe how many raw pages are poisoned and after the
attempted recoveries by the kernel, their resolutions: how many are
recovered, ignored, failed, or delayed respectively. This approach can be
easier to extend for future use cases than /proc/meminfo, trace event, and
log. The following math holds for the statistics:
* total = recovered + ignored + failed + delayed
These memory error stats are reset during machine boot.
The 1st commit introduces these sysfs entries. The 2nd commit populates
memory error stats every time memory_failure attempts memory error
recovery. The 3rd commit adds documentations for introduced stats.

mm: multi-gen LRU: per-node lru_gen_folio lists
For each node, memcgs are divided into two generations: the old and the young. For each generation, memcgs are randomly sharded into multiple bins to improve scalability. For each bin, an RCU hlist_nulls is virtually divided into three segments: the head, the tail and the default. An onlining memcg is added to the tail of a random bin in the old generation. The eviction starts at the head of a random bin in the old generation. The per-node memcg generation counter, whose reminder (mod 2) indexes the old generation, is incremented when all its bins become empty. There are four operations: 1. MEMCG_LRU_HEAD, which moves an memcg to the head of a random bin in its current generation (old or young) and updates its "seg" to "head"; 2. MEMCG_LRU_TAIL, which moves an memcg to the tail of a random bin in its current generation (old or young) and updates its "seg" to "tail"; 3. MEMCG_LRU_OLD, which moves an memcg to the head of a random bin in the old generation, updates its "gen" to "old" and resets its "seg" to "default"; 4. MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG, which moves an memcg to the tail of a random bin in the young generation, updates its "gen" to "young" and resets its "seg" to "default". The events that trigger the above operations are: 1. Exceeding the soft limit, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_HEAD; 2. The first attempt to reclaim an memcg below low, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_TAIL; 3. The first attempt to reclaim an memcg below reclaimable size threshold, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_TAIL; 4. The second attempt to reclaim an memcg below reclaimable size threshold, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG; 5. Attempting to reclaim an memcg below min, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG; 6. Finishing the aging on the eviction path, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG; 7. Offlining an memcg, which triggers MEMCG_LRU_OLD. Note that memcg LRU only applies to global reclaim, and the round-robin incrementing of their max_seq counters ensures the eventual fairness to all eligible memcgs. For memcg reclaim, it still relies on mem_cgroup_iter().

mm: multi-gen LRU: rename lru_gen_struct to lru_gen_folio
Patch series "mm: multi-gen LRU: memcg LRU", v3. Overview ======== An memcg LRU is a per-node LRU of memcgs. It is also an LRU of LRUs, since each node and memcg combination has an LRU of folios (see mem_cgroup_lruvec()). Its goal is to improve the scalability of global reclaim, which is critical to system-wide memory overcommit in data centers. Note that memcg reclaim is currently out of scope. Its memory bloat is a pointer to each lruvec and negligible to each pglist_data. In terms of traversing memcgs during global reclaim, it improves the best-case complexity from O(n) to O(1) and does not affect the worst-case complexity O(n). Therefore, on average, it has a sublinear complexity in contrast to the current linear complexity. The basic structure of an memcg LRU can be understood by an analogy to the active/inactive LRU (of folios): 1. It has the young and the old (generations), i.e., the counterparts to the active and the inactive; 2. The increment of max_seq triggers promotion, i.e., the counterpart to activation; 3. Other events trigger similar operations, e.g., offlining an memcg triggers demotion, i.e., the counterpart to deactivation. In terms of global reclaim, it has two distinct features: 1. Sharding, which allows each thread to start at a random memcg (in the old generation) and improves parallelism; 2. Eventual fairness, which allows direct reclaim to bail out at will and reduces latency without affecting fairness over some time. The commit message in patch 6 details the workflow: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221222041905.2431096-7-yuzhao@google.com/ The following is a simple test to quickly verify its effectiveness. Test design: 1. Create multiple memcgs. 2. Each memcg contains a job (fio). 3. All jobs access the same amount of memory randomly. 4. The system does not experience global memory pressure. 5. Periodically write to the root memory.reclaim. Desired outcome: 1. All memcgs have similar pgsteal counts, i.e., stddev(pgsteal) over mean(pgsteal) is close to 0%. 2. The total pgsteal is close to the total requested through memory.reclaim, i.e., sum(pgsteal) over sum(requested) is close to 100%. Actual outcome [1]: MGLRU off MGLRU on stddev(pgsteal) / mean(pgsteal) 75% 20% sum(pgsteal) / sum(requested) 425% 95% #################################################################### MEMCGS=128 for ((memcg = 0; memcg < $MEMCGS; memcg++)); do mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memcg$memcg done start() { echo $BASHPID > /sys/fs/cgroup/memcg$memcg/cgroup.procs fio -name=memcg$memcg --numjobs=1 --ioengine=mmap \ --filename=/dev/zero --size=1920M --rw=randrw \ --rate=64m,64m --random_distribution=random \ --fadvise_hint=0 --time_based --runtime=10h \ --group_reporting --minimal } for ((memcg = 0; memcg < $MEMCGS; memcg++)); do start & done sleep 600 for ((i = 0; i < 600; i++)); do echo 256m >/sys/fs/cgroup/memory.reclaim sleep 6 done for ((memcg = 0; memcg < $MEMCGS; memcg++)); do grep "pgsteal " /sys/fs/cgroup/memcg$memcg/memory.stat done #################################################################### [1]: This was obtained from running the above script (touches less than 256GB memory) on an EPYC 7B13 with 512GB DRAM for over an hour.

block: add check when merging zone device pages
Consecutive zone device pages should not be merged into the same sgl or bvec segment with other types of pages or if they belong to different pgmaps. Otherwise getting the pgmap of a given segment is not possible without scanning the entire segment. This helper returns true either if both pages are not zone device pages or both pages are zone device pages with the same pgmap. Add a helper to determine if zone device pages are mergeable and use this helper in page_is_mergeable().

mm: multi-gen LRU: thrashing prevention
Add /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/min_ttl_ms for thrashing prevention, as requested by many desktop users [1]. When set to value N, it prevents the working set of N milliseconds from getting evicted. The OOM killer is triggered if this working set cannot be kept in memory. Based on the average human detectable lag (~100ms), N=1000 usually eliminates intolerable lags due to thrashing. Larger values like N=3000 make lags less noticeable at the risk of premature OOM kills. Compared with the size-based approach [2], this time-based approach has the following advantages: 1. It is easier to configure because it is agnostic to applications and memory sizes. 2. It is more reliable because it is directly wired to the OOM killer.

mm: multi-gen LRU: kill switch
Add /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled as a kill switch. Components that
can be disabled include:
0x0001: the multi-gen LRU core
0x0002: walking page table, when arch_has_hw_pte_young() returns
true
0x0004: clearing the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries, when
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG=y
[yYnN]: apply to all the components above
E.g.,
echo y >/sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
cat /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
0x0007
echo 5 >/sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
cat /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
0x0005
NB: the page table walks happen on the scale of seconds under heavy memory
pressure, in which case the mmap_lock contention is a lesser concern,
compared with the LRU lock contention and the I/O congestion. So far the
only well-known case of the mmap_lock contention happens on Android, due
to Scudo [1] which allocates several thousand VMAs for merely a few
hundred MBs. The SPF and the Maple Tree also have provided their own
assessments [2][3]. However, if walking page tables does worsen the
mmap_lock contention, the kill switch can be used to disable it. In this
case the multi-gen LRU will suffer a minor performance degradation, as
shown previously.
Clearing the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries can also be disabled,
since this behavior was not tested on x86 varieties other than Intel and
AMD.

mm: multi-gen LRU: support page table walks
To further exploit spatial locality, the aging prefers to walk page tables
to search for young PTEs and promote hot pages. A kill switch will be
added in the next patch to disable this behavior. When disabled, the
aging relies on the rmap only.
NB: this behavior has nothing similar with the page table scanning in the
2.4 kernel [1], which searches page tables for old PTEs, adds cold pages
to swapcache and unmaps them.
To avoid confusion, the term "iteration" specifically means the traversal
of an entire mm_struct list; the term "walk" will be applied to page
tables and the rmap, as usual.
An mm_struct list is maintained for each memcg, and an mm_struct follows
its owner task to the new memcg when this task is migrated. Given an
lruvec, the aging iterates lruvec_memcg()->mm_list and calls
walk_page_range() with each mm_struct on this list to promote hot pages
before it increments max_seq.
When multiple page table walkers iterate the same list, each of them gets
a unique mm_struct; therefore they can run concurrently. Page table
walkers ignore any misplaced pages, e.g., if an mm_struct was migrated,
pages it left in the previous memcg will not be promoted when its current
memcg is under reclaim. Similarly, page table walkers will not promote
pages from nodes other than the one under reclaim.
This patch uses the following optimizations when walking page tables:
1. It tracks the usage of mm_struct's between context switches so that
page table walkers can skip processes that have been sleeping since
the last iteration.
2. It uses generational Bloom filters to record populated branches so
that page table walkers can reduce their search space based on the
query results, e.g., to skip page tables containing mostly holes or
misplaced pages.
3. It takes advantage of the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries when
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG=y.
4. It does not zigzag between a PGD table and the same PMD table
spanning multiple VMAs. IOW, it finishes all the VMAs within the
range of the same PMD table before it returns to a PGD table. This
improves the cache performance for workloads that have large
numbers of tiny VMAs [2], especially when CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS=5.

mm: multi-gen LRU: exploit locality in rmap
Searching the rmap for PTEs mapping each page on an LRU list (to test and
clear the accessed bit) can be expensive because pages from different VMAs
(PA space) are not cache friendly to the rmap (VA space). For workloads
mostly using mapped pages, searching the rmap can incur the highest CPU
cost in the reclaim path.
This patch exploits spatial locality to reduce the trips into the rmap.
When shrink_page_list() walks the rmap and finds a young PTE, a new
function lru_gen_look_around() scans at most BITS_PER_LONG-1 adjacent
PTEs. On finding another young PTE, it clears the accessed bit and
updates the gen counter of the page mapped by this PTE to
(max_seq%MAX_NR_GENS)+1.

mm: multi-gen LRU: minimal implementation
To avoid confusion, the terms "promotion" and "demotion" will be applied
to the multi-gen LRU, as a new convention; the terms "activation" and
"deactivation" will be applied to the active/inactive LRU, as usual.
The aging produces young generations. Given an lruvec, it increments
max_seq when max_seq-min_seq+1 approaches MIN_NR_GENS. The aging promotes
hot pages to the youngest generation when it finds them accessed through
page tables; the demotion of cold pages happens consequently when it
increments max_seq. Promotion in the aging path does not involve any LRU
list operations, only the updates of the gen counter and
lrugen->nr_pages[]; demotion, unless as the result of the increment of
max_seq, requires LRU list operations, e.g., lru_deactivate_fn(). The
aging has the complexity O(nr_hot_pages), since it is only interested in
hot pages.
The eviction consumes old generations. Given an lruvec, it increments
min_seq when lrugen->lists[] indexed by min_seq%MAX_NR_GENS becomes empty.
A feedback loop modeled after the PID controller monitors refaults over
anon and file types and decides which type to evict when both types are
available from the same generation.
The protection of pages accessed multiple times through file descriptors
takes place in the eviction path. Each generation is divided into
multiple tiers. A page accessed N times through file descriptors is in
tier order_base_2(N). Tiers do not have dedicated lrugen->lists[], only
bits in folio->flags. The aforementioned feedback loop also monitors
refaults over all tiers and decides when to protect pages in which tiers
(N>1), using the first tier (N=0,1) as a baseline. The first tier
contains single-use unmapped clean pages, which are most likely the best
choices. In contrast to promotion in the aging path, the protection of a
page in the eviction path is achieved by moving this page to the next
generation, i.e., min_seq+1, if the feedback loop decides so. This
approach has the following advantages:
1. It removes the cost of activation in the buffered access path by
inferring whether pages accessed multiple times through file
descriptors are statistically hot and thus worth protecting in the
eviction path.
2. It takes pages accessed through page tables into account and avoids
overprotecting pages accessed multiple times through file
descriptors. (Pages accessed through page tables are in the first
tier, since N=0.)
3. More tiers provide better protection for pages accessed more than
twice through file descriptors, when under heavy buffered I/O
workloads.

mm: multi-gen LRU: groundwork
Evictable pages are divided into multiple generations for each lruvec. The youngest generation number is stored in lrugen->max_seq for both anon and file types as they are aged on an equal footing. The oldest generation numbers are stored in lrugen->min_seq[] separately for anon and file types as clean file pages can be evicted regardless of swap constraints. These three variables are monotonically increasing. Generation numbers are truncated into order_base_2(MAX_NR_GENS+1) bits in order to fit into the gen counter in folio->flags. Each truncated generation number is an index to lrugen->lists[]. The sliding window technique is used to track at least MIN_NR_GENS and at most MAX_NR_GENS generations. The gen counter stores a value within [1, MAX_NR_GENS] while a page is on one of lrugen->lists[]. Otherwise it stores 0. There are two conceptually independent procedures: "the aging", which produces young generations, and "the eviction", which consumes old generations. They form a closed-loop system, i.e., "the page reclaim". Both procedures can be invoked from userspace for the purposes of working set estimation and proactive reclaim. These techniques are commonly used to optimize job scheduling (bin packing) in data centers [1][2]. To avoid confusion, the terms "hot" and "cold" will be applied to the multi-gen LRU, as a new convention; the terms "active" and "inactive" will be applied to the active/inactive LRU, as usual. The protection of hot pages and the selection of cold pages are based on page access channels and patterns. There are two access channels: one through page tables and the other through file descriptors. The protection of the former channel is by design stronger because: 1. The uncertainty in determining the access patterns of the former channel is higher due to the approximation of the accessed bit. 2. The cost of evicting the former channel is higher due to the TLB flushes required and the likelihood of encountering the dirty bit. 3. The penalty of underprotecting the former channel is higher because applications usually do not prepare themselves for major page faults like they do for blocked I/O. E.g., GUI applications commonly use dedicated I/O threads to avoid blocking rendering threads. There are also two access patterns: one with temporal locality and the other without. For the reasons listed above, the former channel is assumed to follow the former pattern unless VM_SEQ_READ or VM_RAND_READ is present; the latter channel is assumed to follow the latter pattern unless outlying refaults have been observed [3][4]. The next patch will address the "outlying refaults". Three macros, i.e., LRU_REFS_WIDTH, LRU_REFS_PGOFF and LRU_REFS_MASK, used later are added in this patch to make the entire patchset less diffy. A page is added to the youngest generation on faulting. The aging needs to check the accessed bit at least twice before handing this page over to the eviction. The first check takes care of the accessed bit set on the initial fault; the second check makes sure this page has not been used since then. This protocol, AKA second chance, requires a minimum of two generations, hence MIN_NR_GENS.

memory tiering: adjust hot threshold automatically
The promotion hot threshold is workload and system configuration dependent. So in this patch, a method to adjust the hot threshold automatically is implemented. The basic idea is to control the number of the candidate promotion pages to match the promotion rate limit. If the hint page fault latency of a page is less than the hot threshold, we will try to promote the page, and the page is called the candidate promotion page. If the number of the candidate promotion pages in the statistics interval is much more than the promotion rate limit, the hot threshold will be decreased to reduce the number of the candidate promotion pages. Otherwise, the hot threshold will be increased to increase the number of the candidate promotion pages. To make the above method works, in each statistics interval, the total number of the pages to check (on which the hint page faults occur) and the hot/cold distribution need to be stable. Because the page tables are scanned linearly in NUMA balancing, but the hot/cold distribution isn't uniform along the address usually, the statistics interval should be larger than the NUMA balancing scan period. So in the patch, the max scan period is used as statistics interval and it works well in our tests.

memory tiering: rate limit NUMA migration throughput
In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, if there are hot pages in slow memory node and cold pages in fast memory node, we need to promote/demote hot/cold pages between the fast and cold memory nodes. A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible. But the CPU cycles and memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow memory bandwidth contention. A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting throughput. It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting. But the workload latency will be better. This is implemented in this patch as the page promotion rate limit mechanism. The number of the candidate pages to be promoted to the fast memory node via NUMA balancing is counted, if the count exceeds the limit specified by the users, the NUMA balancing promotion will be stopped until the next second. A new sysctl knob kernel.numa_balancing_promote_rate_limit_MBps is added for the users to specify the limit.

mm: add NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE to count secondary page table uses.
We keep track of several kernel memory stats (total kernel memory, page
tables, stack, vmalloc, etc) on multiple levels (global, per-node,
per-memcg, etc). These stats give insights to users to how much memory
is used by the kernel and for what purposes.
Currently, memory used by KVM mmu is not accounted in any of those
kernel memory stats. This patch series accounts the memory pages
used by KVM for page tables in those stats in a new
NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE stat. This stat can be later extended to account
for other types of secondary pages tables (e.g. iommu page tables).
KVM has a decent number of large allocations that aren't for page
tables, but for most of them, the number/size of those allocations
scales linearly with either the number of vCPUs or the amount of memory
assigned to the VM. KVM's secondary page table allocations do not scale
linearly, especially when nested virtualization is in use.
From a KVM perspective, NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE will scale with KVM's
per-VM pages_{4k,2m,1g} stats unless the guest is doing something
bizarre (e.g. accessing only 4kb chunks of 2mb pages so that KVM is
forced to allocate a large number of page tables even though the guest
isn't accessing that much memory). However, someone would need to either
understand how KVM works to make that connection, or know (or be told) to
go look at KVM's stats if they're running VMs to better decipher the stats.
Furthermore, having NR_PAGETABLE side-by-side with NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE
is informative. For example, when backing a VM with THP vs. HugeTLB,
NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE is roughly the same, but NR_PAGETABLE is an order
of magnitude higher with THP. So having this stat will at the very least
prove to be useful for understanding tradeoffs between VM backing types,
and likely even steer folks towards potential optimizations.
The original discussion with more details about the rationale:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/87ilqoi77b.wl-maz@kernel.org
This stat will be used by subsequent patches to count KVM mmu
memory usage.

mm/page_alloc: protect PCP lists with a spinlock
Currently the PCP lists are protected by using local_lock_irqsave to
prevent migration and IRQ reentrancy but this is inconvenient. Remote
draining of the lists is impossible and a workqueue is required and every
task allocation/free must disable then enable interrupts which is
expensive.
As preparation for dealing with both of those problems, protect the
lists with a spinlock. The IRQ-unsafe version of the lock is used
because IRQs are already disabled by local_lock_irqsave. spin_trylock
is used in combination with local_lock_irqsave() but later will be
replaced with a spin_trylock_irqsave when the local_lock is removed.
The per_cpu_pages still fits within the same number of cache lines after
this patch relative to before the series.
struct per_cpu_pages {
spinlock_t lock; /* 0 4 */
int count; /* 4 4 */
int high; /* 8 4 */
int batch; /* 12 4 */
short int free_factor; /* 16 2 */
short int expire; /* 18 2 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
struct list_head lists[13]; /* 24 208 */
/* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 7 */
/* sum members: 228, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
/* padding: 24 */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(64)));
There is overhead in the fast path due to acquiring the spinlock even
though the spinlock is per-cpu and uncontended in the common case. Page

1 socket machine.

mm/page_alloc: use only one PCP list for THP-sized allocations
The per_cpu_pages is cache-aligned on a standard x86-64 distribution
configuration but a later patch will add a new field which would push the
structure into the next cache line. Use only one list to store THP-sized
pages on the per-cpu list. This assumes that the vast majority of
THP-sized allocations are GFP_MOVABLE but even if it was another type, it
would not contribute to serious fragmentation that potentially causes a
later THP allocation failure. Align per_cpu_pages on the cacheline
boundary to ensure there is no false cache sharing.
After this patch, the structure sizing is;
struct per_cpu_pages {
int count; /* 0 4 */
int high; /* 4 4 */
int batch; /* 8 4 */
short int free_factor; /* 12 2 */
short int expire; /* 14 2 */

Patch series "make hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap compatible with memmap_on_memory", v3. This series makes hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap compatible with memmap_on_memory. This patch (of 2): We are almost running out of section flags, only one bit is available in the worst case (powerpc with 256k pages). However, there are still some free bits (in ->section_mem_map) on other architectures (e.g. x86_64 has 10 bits available, arm64 has 8 bits available with worst case of 64K pages). We have hard coded those numbers in code, it is inconvenient to use those bits on other architectures except powerpc. So transfer those section flags to enumeration to make it easy to add new section flags in the future. Also, move SECTION_TAINT_ZONE_DEVICE into the scope of CONFIG_ZONE_DEVICE to save a bit on non-zone-device case.

NUMA balancing: optimize page placement for memory tiering system
With the advent of various new memory types, some machines will have multiple types of memory, e.g. DRAM and PMEM (persistent memory). The memory subsystem of these machines can be called memory tiering system, because the performance of the different types of memory are usually different. In such system, because of the memory accessing pattern changing etc, some pages in the slow memory may become hot globally. So in this patch, the NUMA balancing mechanism is enhanced to optimize the page placement among the different memory types according to hot/cold dynamically. In a typical memory tiering system, there are CPUs, fast memory and slow memory in each physical NUMA node. The CPUs and the fast memory will be put in one logical node (called fast memory node), while the slow memory will be put in another (faked) logical node (called slow memory node). That is, the fast memory is regarded as local while the slow memory is regarded as remote. So it's possible for the recently accessed pages in the slow memory node to be promoted to the fast memory node via the existing NUMA balancing mechanism. The original NUMA balancing mechanism will stop to migrate pages if the free memory of the target node becomes below the high watermark. This is a reasonable policy if there's only one memory type. But this makes the original NUMA balancing mechanism almost do not work to optimize page placement among different memory types. Details are as follows. It's the common cases that the working-set size of the workload is larger than the size of the fast memory nodes. Otherwise, it's unnecessary to use the slow memory at all. So, there are almost always no enough free pages in the fast memory nodes, so that the globally hot pages in the slow memory node cannot be promoted to the fast memory node. To solve the issue, we have 2 choices as follows, a. Ignore the free pages watermark checking when promoting hot pages from the slow memory node to the fast memory node. This will create some memory pressure in the fast memory node, thus trigger the memory reclaiming. So that, the cold pages in the fast memory node will be demoted to the slow memory node. b. Define a new watermark called wmark_promo which is higher than wmark_high, and have kswapd reclaiming pages until free pages reach such watermark. The scenario is as follows: when we want to promote hot-pages from a slow memory to a fast memory, but fast memory's free pages would go lower than high watermark with such promotion, we wake up kswapd with wmark_promo watermark in order to demote cold pages and free us up some space. So, next time we want to promote hot-pages we might have a chance of doing so. The choice "a" may create high memory pressure in the fast memory node. If the memory pressure of the workload is high, the memory pressure may become so high that the memory allocation latency of the workload is influenced, e.g. the direct reclaiming may be triggered. The choice "b" works much better at this aspect. If the memory pressure of the workload is high, the hot pages promotion will stop earlier because its allocation watermark is higher than that of the normal memory allocation. So in this patch, choice "b" is implemented. A new zone watermark (WMARK_PROMO) is added. Which is larger than the high watermark and can be controlled via watermark_scale_factor. In addition to the original page placement optimization among sockets, the NUMA balancing mechanism is extended to be used to optimize page placement according to hot/cold among different memory types. So the sysctl user space interface (numa_balancing) is extended in a backward compatible way as follow, so that the users can enable/disable these functionality individually. The sysctl is converted from a Boolean value to a bits field. The definition of the flags is, - 0: NUMA_BALANCING_DISABLED - 1: NUMA_BALANCING_NORMAL - 2: NUMA_BALANCING_MEMORY_TIERING We have tested the patch with the pmbench memory accessing benchmark with the 80:20 read/write ratio and the Gauss access address distribution on a 2 socket Intel server with Optane DC Persistent Memory Model. The test results shows that the pmbench score can improve up to 95.9%. Thanks Andrew Morton to help fix the document format error.

NUMA Balancing: add page promotion counter
Patch series "NUMA balancing: optimize memory placement for memory tiering system", v13
With the advent of various new memory types, some machines will have
multiple types of memory, e.g. DRAM and PMEM (persistent memory). The
memory subsystem of these machines can be called memory tiering system,
because the performance of the different types of memory are different.
After commit c221c0b0308f ("device-dax: "Hotplug" persistent memory for
use like normal RAM"), the PMEM could be used as the cost-effective
volatile memory in separate NUMA nodes. In a typical memory tiering
system, there are CPUs, DRAM and PMEM in each physical NUMA node. The
CPUs and the DRAM will be put in one logical node, while the PMEM will
be put in another (faked) logical node.
To optimize the system overall performance, the hot pages should be
placed in DRAM node. To do that, we need to identify the hot pages in
the PMEM node and migrate them to DRAM node via NUMA migration.
In the original NUMA balancing, there are already a set of existing
mechanisms to identify the pages recently accessed by the CPUs in a node
and migrate the pages to the node. So we can reuse these mechanisms to
build the mechanisms to optimize the page placement in the memory
tiering system. This is implemented in this patchset.
At the other hand, the cold pages should be placed in PMEM node. So, we
also need to identify the cold pages in the DRAM node and migrate them
to PMEM node.
In commit 26aa2d199d6f ("mm/migrate: demote pages during reclaim"), a
mechanism to demote the cold DRAM pages to PMEM node under memory
pressure is implemented. Based on that, the cold DRAM pages can be
demoted to PMEM node proactively to free some memory space on DRAM node
to accommodate the promoted hot PMEM pages. This is implemented in this
patchset too.
We have tested the solution with the pmbench memory accessing benchmark
with the 80:20 read/write ratio and the Gauss access address
distribution on a 2 socket Intel server with Optane DC Persistent Memory
Model. The test results shows that the pmbench score can improve up to
95.9%.
This patch (of 3):
In a system with multiple memory types, e.g. DRAM and PMEM, the CPU
and DRAM in one socket will be put in one NUMA node as before, while
the PMEM will be put in another NUMA node as described in the
description of the commit c221c0b0308f ("device-dax: "Hotplug"
persistent memory for use like normal RAM"). So, the NUMA balancing
mechanism will identify all PMEM accesses as remote access and try to
promote the PMEM pages to DRAM.
To distinguish the number of the inter-type promoted pages from that of
the inter-socket migrated pages. A new vmstat count is added. The
counter is per-node (count in the target node). So this can be used to
identify promotion imbalance among the NUMA nodes.

mm: page_alloc: avoid merging non-fallbackable pageblocks with others
This is done in addition to MIGRATE_ISOLATE pageblock merge avoidance. It prepares for the upcoming removal of the MAX_ORDER-1 alignment requirement for CMA and alloc_contig_range(). MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC should not merge with other migratetypes like MIGRATE_ISOLATE and MIGRARTE_CMA[1], so this commit prevents that too. Remove MIGRATE_CMA and MIGRATE_ISOLATE from fallbacks list, since they are never used.

mm_zone: add function to check if managed dma zone exists
Patch series "Handle warning of allocation failure on DMA zone w/o managed pages", v4. **Problem observed: On x86_64, when crash is triggered and entering into kdump kernel, page allocation failure can always be seen. --------------------------------- DMA: preallocated 128 KiB GFP_KERNEL pool for atomic allocations swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:5, mode:0xcc1(GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0 CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x7f/0xa1 warn_alloc.cold+0x72/0xd6 ...... __alloc_pages+0x24d/0x2c0 ...... dma_atomic_pool_init+0xdb/0x176 do_one_initcall+0x67/0x320 ? rcu_read_lock_sched_held+0x3f/0x80 kernel_init_freeable+0x290/0x2dc ? rest_init+0x24f/0x24f kernel_init+0xa/0x111 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30 Mem-Info: ------------------------------------ ***Root cause: In the current kernel, it assumes that DMA zone must have managed pages and try to request pages if CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is enabled. While this is not always true. E.g in kdump kernel of x86_64, only low 1M is presented and locked down at very early stage of boot, so that this low 1M won't be added into buddy allocator to become managed pages of DMA zone. This exception will always cause page allocation failure if page is requested from DMA zone. ***Investigation: This failure happens since below commit merged into linus's tree. 1a6a9044b967 x86/setup: Remove CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW and reservelow= options 23721c8e92f7 x86/crash: Remove crash_reserve_low_1M() f1d4d47c5851 x86/setup: Always reserve the first 1M of RAM 7c321eb2b843 x86/kdump: Remove the backup region handling 6f599d84231f x86/kdump: Always reserve the low 1M when the crashkernel option is specified Before them, on x86_64, the low 640K area will be reused by kdump kernel. So in kdump kernel, the content of low 640K area is copied into a backup region for dumping before jumping into kdump. Then except of those firmware reserved region in [0, 640K], the left area will be added into buddy allocator to become available managed pages of DMA zone. However, after above commits applied, in kdump kernel of x86_64, the low 1M is reserved by memblock, but not released to buddy allocator. So any later page allocation requested from DMA zone will fail. At the beginning, if crashkernel is reserved, the low 1M need be locked down because AMD SME encrypts memory making the old backup region mechanims impossible when switching into kdump kernel. Later, it was also observed that there are BIOSes corrupting memory under 1M. To solve this, in commit f1d4d47c5851, the entire region of low 1M is always reserved after the real mode trampoline is allocated. Besides, recently, Intel engineer mentioned their TDX (Trusted domain extensions) which is under development in kernel also needs to lock down the low 1M. So we can't simply revert above commits to fix the page allocation failure from DMA zone as someone suggested. ***Solution: Currently, only DMA atomic pool and dma-kmalloc will initialize and request page allocation with GFP_DMA during bootup. So only initializ DMA atomic pool when DMA zone has available managed pages, otherwise just skip the initialization. For dma-kmalloc(), for the time being, let's mute the warning of allocation failure if requesting pages from DMA zone while no manged pages. Meanwhile, change code to use dma_alloc_xx/dma_map_xx API to replace kmalloc(GFP_DMA), or do not use GFP_DMA when calling kmalloc() if not necessary. Christoph is posting patches to fix those under drivers/scsi/. Finally, we can remove the need of dma-kmalloc() as people suggested. This patch (of 3): In some places of the current kernel, it assumes that dma zone must have managed pages if CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is enabled. While this is not always true. E.g in kdump kernel of x86_64, only low 1M is presented and locked down at very early stage of boot, so that there's no managed pages at all in DMA zone. This exception will always cause page allocation failure if page is requested from DMA zone. Here add function has_managed_dma() and the relevant helper functions to check if there's DMA zone with managed pages. It will be used in later patches.

mm: vmscan: Reduce throttling due to a failure to make progress
Mike Galbraith, Alexey Avramov and Darrick Wong all reported similar
problems due to reclaim throttling for excessive lengths of time. In
Alexey's case, a memory hog that should go OOM quickly stalls for
several minutes before stalling. In Mike and Darrick's cases, a small
memcg environment stalled excessively even though the system had enough
memory overall.
Commit 69392a403f49 ("mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim when no progress is
being made") introduced the problem although commit a19594ca4a8b
("mm/vmscan: increase the timeout if page reclaim is not making
progress") made it worse. Systems at or near an OOM state that cannot
be recovered must reach OOM quickly and memcg should kill tasks if a
memcg is near OOM.
To address this, only stall for the first zone in the zonelist, reduce
the timeout to 1 tick for VMSCAN_THROTTLE_NOPROGRESS and only stall if
the scan control nr_reclaimed is 0, kswapd is still active and there
were excessive pages pending for writeback. If kswapd has stopped
reclaiming due to excessive failures, do not stall at all so that OOM
triggers relatively quickly. Similarly, if an LRU is simply congested,
only lightly throttle similar to NOPROGRESS.
Alexey's original case was the most straight forward
for i in {1..3}; do tail /dev/zero; done
On vanilla 5.16-rc1, this test stalled heavily, after the patch the test
completes in a few seconds similar to 5.15.
Alexey's second test case added watching a youtube video while tail runs
10 times. On 5.15, playback only jitters slightly, 5.16-rc1 stalls a
lot with lots of frames missing and numerous audio glitches. With this
patch applies, the video plays similarly to 5.15.

mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim when no progress is being made
Memcg reclaim throttles on congestion if no reclaim progress is made. This makes little sense, it might be due to writeback or a host of other factors. For !memcg reclaim, it's messy. Direct reclaim primarily is throttled in the page allocator if it is failing to make progress. Kswapd throttles if too many pages are under writeback and marked for immediate reclaim. This patch explicitly throttles if reclaim is failing to make progress.
