Track the nonfull cluster as well as the empty cluster on lists. Each
order has one nonfull cluster list.
The cluster will remember which order it was used during new cluster
allocation.
When the cluster has free entry, add to the nonfull[order] list. When
the free cluster list is empty, also allocate from the nonempty list of
that order.
This improves the mTHP swap allocation success rate.
There are limitations if the distribution of numbers of different orders
of mTHP changes a lot. e.g. there are a lot of nonfull cluster assign to
order A while later time there are a lot of order B allocation while very
little allocation in order A. Currently the cluster used by order A will
not reused by order B unless the cluster is 100% empty.

The pressure_level in memcg v1 provides memory pressure notifications to
the user space. At the moment it provides notifications for three levels
of memory pressure i.e. low, medium and critical, which are defined based
on internal memory reclaim implementation details. More specifically the
ratio of scanned and reclaimed pages during a memory reclaim. However
this is not robust as there are workloads with mostly unreclaimable user
memory or kernel memory.
For v2, the users can use PSI for memory pressure status of the system or
the cgroup. Let's start the deprecation process for pressure_level and
add warnings to gather the info on how the current users are using this
interface and how they can be used to PSI.

The oom_control provides functionality to disable memcg oom-killer,
notifications on oom-kill and reading the stats regarding oom-kills. This
interface was mainly introduced to provide functionality for userspace
oom-killers. However it is not robust enough and only supports OOM
handling in the page fault path.
For v2, the users can use the combination of memory.events notifications,
memory.high and PSI to provide userspace OOM-killing functionality.
Actually LMKD in Android and OOMd in systemd and Meta infrastructure
already use PSI in combination with other stats to implement userspace
OOM-killing.
Let's start the deprecation process for v1 and gather the info on how the
current users are using this interface and work on providing a more robust
functionality in v2.

Memcg v1 provides soft limit functionality for the best effort memory
sharing between multiple workloads on a system. It is usually triggered
through kswapd and at the moment does not reclaim kernel memory.
Memcg v2 provides more straightforward best effort (memory.low) and hard
protection (memory.min) functionalities. Let's initiate the deprecation
of soft limit from v1 and gather if v2 needs something more to move the
existing v1 users to v2 regarding soft limit.

Patch series "memcg: initiate deprecation of v1 features", v2.
Start the deprecation process of the memcg v1 features which we discussed
during LSFMMBPF 2024 [1]. For now add the warnings to collect the
information on how the current users are using these features. Next we
will work on providing better alternatives in v2 (if needed) and fully
deprecate these features.
Link: https://lwn.net/Articles/974575 [1]
This patch (of 4):
Memcg v1 provides opt-in TCP memory accounting feature. However it is
mostly unused due to its performance impact on the network traffic. In
v2, the TCP memory is accounted in the regular memory usage and is
transparent to the users but they can observe the TCP memory usage through
memcg stats.
Let's initiate the deprecation process of memcg v1's tcp accounting
functionality and add warnings to gather if there are any users and if
there are, collect how they are using it and plan to provide them better
alternative in v2.

Patch series "memcg: further decouple v1 code from v2".
Some of the v1 code is still in v2 code base due to v1 fields in the
struct memcg_vmstats_percpu. This field decouples those fileds from v2
struct and move all the related code into v1 only code base.
This patch (of 7):
At the moment struct memcg_vmstats_percpu contains two v1 only fields
which consumes memory even when CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 is not enabled. In
addition there are v1 only functions accessing them and are in the main
memcontrol source file and can not be moved to v1 only source file due to
these fields. Let's move these fields into their own struct. Later
patches will move the functions accessing them to v1 source file and only
allocate these fields when CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 is enabled.

obj_cgroup_memcg() is supposed to safe to prevent the returned memory
cgroup from being freed only when the caller is holding the rcu read lock
or objcg_lock or cgroup_mutex. It is very easy to ignore thoes conditions
when users call some upper APIs which call obj_cgroup_memcg() internally
like mem_cgroup_from_slab_obj() (See the link below). So it is better to
add lockdep assertion to obj_cgroup_memcg() to find those issues ASAP.
Because there is no user of obj_cgroup_memcg() holding objcg_lock to make
the returned memory cgroup safe, do not add objcg_lock assertion (We
should export objcg_lock if we really want to do). Additionally, this is
some internal implementation detail of memcg and should not be accessible
outside memcg code.
Some users like __mem_cgroup_uncharge() do not care the lifetime of the
returned memory cgroup, which just want to know if the folio is charged to
a memory cgroup, therefore, they do not need to hold the needed locks. In
which case, introduce a new helper folio_memcg_charged() to do this.
Compare it to folio_memcg(), it could eliminate a memory access of
objcg->memcg for kmem, actually, a really small gain.

The Meta prod is seeing large amount of stalls in memcg stats flush from
the memcg reclaim code path. At the moment, this specific callsite is
doing a synchronous memcg stats flush. The rstat flush is an expensive
and time consuming operation, so concurrent relaimers will busywait on the
lock potentially for a long time. Actually this issue is not unique to
Meta and has been observed by Cloudflare [1] as well. For the Cloudflare
case, the stalls were due to contention between kswapd threads running on
their 8 numa node machines which does not make sense as rstat flush is
global and flush from one kswapd thread should be sufficient for all.
Simply replace the synchronous flush with the ratelimited one.
One may raise a concern on potentially using 2 sec stale (at worst) stats
for heuristics like desirable inactive:active ratio and preferring
inactive file pages over anon pages but these specific heuristics do not
require very precise stats and also are ignored under severe memory
pressure.
More specifically for this code path, the stats are needed for two
specific heuristics:
1. Deactivate LRUs
2. Cache trim mode
The deactivate LRUs heuristic is to maintain a desirable inactive:active
ratio of the LRUs. The specific stats needed are WORKINGSET_ACTIVATE* and
the hierarchical LRU size. The WORKINGSET_ACTIVATE* is needed to check if
there is a refault since last snapshot and the LRU size are needed for the
desirable ratio between inactive and active LRUs. See the table below on
how the desirable ratio is calculated.
/* total target max
* memory ratio inactive
* -------------------------------------
* 10MB 1 5MB
* 100MB 1 50MB
* 1GB 3 250MB
* 10GB 10 0.9GB
* 100GB 31 3GB
* 1TB 101 10GB
* 10TB 320 32GB
*/
The desirable ratio only changes at the boundary of 1 GiB, 10 GiB, 100
GiB, 1 TiB and 10 TiB. There is no need for the precise and accurate LRU
size information to calculate this ratio. In addition, if deactivation is
skipped for some LRU, the kernel will force deactive on the severe memory
pressure situation.
For the cache trim mode, inactive file LRU size is read and the kernel
scales it down based on the reclaim iteration (file >> sc->priority) and
only checks if it is zero or not. Again precise information is not
needed.
This patch has been running on Meta fleet for several months and we have
not observed any issues. Please note that MGLRU is not impacted by this
issue at all as it avoids rstat flushing completely.

All relevant architectures had already been converted to the new interface
(which just has an underscore in front of the name - not very imaginative
naming), this just force-converts the stragglers.
The modern interface is almost identical to the old one, except instead of
the page pointer it takes a "struct vm_special_mapping" that describes the
mapping (and contains the page pointer as one member), and it returns the
resulting 'vma' instead of just the error code.
Getting rid of the old interface also gets rid of some special casing,
which had caused problems with the mremap extensions to "struct
vm_special_mapping".

Add an optional close() callback to struct vm_special_mapping. It will be
used, by powerpc at least, to handle unmapping of the VDSO.
Although support for unmapping the VDSO was initially added for CRIU[1],
it is not desirable to guard that support behind
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
There are other known users of unmapping the VDSO which are not related to
CRIU, eg. Valgrind [2] and void-ship [3].
The powerpc arch_unmap() hook has been in place for ~9 years, with no
ifdef, so there may be other unknown users that have come to rely on
unmapping the VDSO. Even if the code was behind an ifdef, major distros
enable CHECKPOINT_RESTORE so users may not realise unmapping the VDSO
depends on that configuration option.
It's also undesirable to have such core mm behaviour behind a relatively
obscure CONFIG option.
Longer term the unmap behaviour should be standardised across
architectures, however that is complicated by the fact the VDSO pointer is
stored differently across architectures. There was a previous attempt to
unify that handling [4], which could be revived.
See [5] for further discussion.

Batch the HVO work, including de-HVO of the source and HVO of the
destination hugeTLB folios, to speed up demotion.
After commit bd225530a4c7 ("mm/hugetlb_vmemmap: fix race with speculative
PFN walkers"), each request of HVO or de-HVO, batched or not, invokes
synchronize_rcu() once. For example, when not batched, demoting one 1GB
hugeTLB folio to 512 2MB hugeTLB folios invokes synchronize_rcu() 513
times (1 de-HVO plus 512 HVO requests), whereas when batched, only twice
(1 de-HVO plus 1 HVO request). And the performance difference between the
two cases is significant, e.g.,
echo 2048kB >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/demote_size
time echo 100 >/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/demote
Before this patch:
real 8m58.158s
user 0m0.009s
sys 0m5.900s
After this patch:
real 0m0.900s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.851s
Note that this patch changes the behavior of the `demote` interface when
de-HVO fails. Before, the interface aborts immediately upon failure; now,

Whoever passes a folio to __folio_batch_add_and_move() must hold a
reference, otherwise something else would already be messed up. If the
folio is referenced, it will not be freed elsewhere, so we can safely
clear the folio's lru flag. As discussed with David in [1], we should
take the reference after testing the LRU flag, not before.

To allow precise tracking of page caches accessed, add new tracepoints
that trigger when a process actually accesses them.
The ureadahead program used by ChromeOS traces the disk access of programs
as they start up at boot up. It uses mincore(2) or the
'mm_filemap_add_to_page_cache' trace event to accomplish this. It stores
this information in a "pack" file and on subsequent boots, it will read
the pack file and call readahead(2) on the information so that disk
storage can be loaded into RAM before the applications actually need it.
A problem we see is that due to the kernel's readahead algorithm that can
aggressively pull in more data than needed (to try and accomplish the same
goal) and this data is also recorded. The end result is that the pack
file contains a lot of pages on disk that are never actually used.
Calling readahead(2) on these unused pages can slow down the system boot
up times.
To solve this, add 3 new trace events, get_pages, map_pages, and fault.
These will be used to trace the pages are not only pulled in from disk,
but are actually used by the application. Only those pages will be stored
in the pack file, and this helps out the performance of boot up.
With the combination of these 3 new trace events and
mm_filemap_add_to_page_cache, we observed a reduction in the pack file by
7.3% - 20% on ChromeOS varying by device.

This is only relevant to the two archs that support PUD dax, aka, x86_64
and ppc64. PUD THPs do not yet exist elsewhere, and hugetlb PUDs do not
count in this case.
DAX have had PUD mappings for years, but change protection path never
worked. When the path is triggered in any form (a simple test program
would be: call mprotect() on a 1G dev_dax mapping), the kernel will report
"bad pud". This patch should fix that.
The new change_huge_pud() tries to keep everything simple. For example,
it doesn't optimize write bit as that will need even more PUD helpers.
It's not too bad anyway to have one more write fault in the worst case
once for 1G range; may be a bigger thing for each PAGE_SIZE, though.
Neither does it support userfault-wp bits, as there isn't such PUD
mappings that is supported; file mappings always need a split there.
The same to TLB shootdown: the pmd path (which was for x86 only) has the
trick of using _ad() version of pmdp_invalidate*() which can avoid one
redundant TLB, but let's also leave that for later. Again, the larger the
mapping, the smaller of such effect.
There's some difference on handling "retry" for change_huge_pud() (where
it can return 0): it isn't like change_huge_pmd(), as the pmd version is
safe with all conditions handled in change_pte_range() later, thanks to
Hugh's new pte_offset_map_lock(). In short, change_pte_range() is simply
smarter. For that, change_pud_range() will need proper retry if it races
with something else when a huge PUD changed from under us.
The last thing to mention is currently the PUD path ignores the huge pte
numa counter (NUMA_HUGE_PTE_UPDATES), not only because DAX is not
applicable to NUMA, but also that it's ambiguous on its own to decide how
to account pud in this case. In one earlier version of this patchset I
proposed to remove the counter as it doesn't even look right to do the
accounting as of now [1], but then a further discussion suggests we can
leave that for later, as that doesn't block this series if we choose to
ignore that counter. That's what this patch does, by ignoring it.
When at it, touch up the comment in pgtable_split_needed() to make it
generic to either pmd or pud file THPs.

mprotect() does mmu notifiers in PMD levels. It's there since 2014 of
commit a5338093bfb4 ("mm: move mmu notifier call from change_protection to
change_pmd_range").
At that time, the issue was that NUMA balancing can be applied on a huge
range of VM memory, even if nothing was populated. The notification can
be avoided in this case if no valid pmd detected, which includes either
THP or a PTE pgtable page.
Now to pave way for PUD handling, this isn't enough. We need to generate
mmu notifications even on PUD entries properly. mprotect() is currently
broken on PUD (e.g., one can easily trigger kernel error with dax 1G
mappings already), this is the start to fix it.
To fix that, this patch proposes to push such notifications to the PUD
layers.
There is risk on regressing the problem Rik wanted to resolve before, but I
think it shouldn't really happen, and I still chose this solution because
of a few reasons:
1) Consider a large VM that should definitely contain more than GBs of
memory, it's highly likely that PUDs are also none. In this case there
will have no regression.
2) KVM has evolved a lot over the years to get rid of rmap walks, which
might be the major cause of the previous soft-lockup. At least TDP MMU
already got rid of rmap as long as not nested (which should be the major
use case, IIUC), then the TDP MMU pgtable walker will simply see empty VM
pgtable (e.g. EPT on x86), the invalidation of a full empty region in
most cases could be pretty fast now, comparing to 2014.
3) KVM has explicit code paths now to even give way for mmu notifiers
just like this one, e.g. in commit d02c357e5bfa ("KVM: x86/mmu: Retry
fault before acquiring mmu_lock if mapping is changing"). It'll also
avoid contentions that may also contribute to a soft-lockup.
4) Stick with PMD layer simply don't work when PUD is there... We need
one way or another to fix PUD mappings on mprotect().
Pushing it to PUD should be the safest approach as of now, e.g. there's yet
no sign of huge P4D coming on any known archs.

When non-leaf pmd accessed bits are available, MGLRU page table walks can
clear the non-leaf pmd accessed bit and ignore the accessed bit on the pte
if it's on a different node, skipping a generation update as well. If
another scan occurs on the same node as said skipped pte.
The non-leaf pmd accessed bit might remain cleared and the pte accessed
bits won't be checked. While this is sufficient for reclaim-driven aging,
where the goal is to select a reasonably cold page, the access can be
missed when aging proactively for workingset estimation of a node/memcg.
In more detail, get_pfn_folio returns NULL if the folio's nid != node
under scanning, so the page table walk skips processing of said pte. Now
the pmd_young flag on this pmd is cleared, and if none of the pte's are
accessed before another scan occurs on the folio's node, the pmd_young
check fails and the pte accessed bit is skipped.
Since force_scan disables various other optimizations, we check force_scan
to ignore the non-leaf pmd accessed bit.

there is another path that directly takes pages from free lists -

will resort to __alloc_pages_noprof() if necessary.
Conditionally accepted in __alloc_pages_bulk().
The same issue may arise due to deferred page initialization. Kick the

kernel does in get_page_from_freelist().

The patchset addresses several issues related to unaccepted memory.
Pacth 1/7 preparatory cleanup.
Patch 2/7 ensures that __alloc_pages_bulk() will not exhaust all
accepted memory without accepting more.
Patches 3/7-5/7 are preparations for patch 6/7, which fixes
alloc_config_page() on machines with unaccepted memory. This allows, for
example, the allocation of gigantic pages at runtime.
Patch 7/7 enables the kernel to accept memory up to the promo watermark.
This patch (of 7):
Add dummy _deferred_grow_zone() for !DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT and remove
#ifdefs in two places.
No functional changes.

It is not immediately obvious, but we can move the folio->_nr_pages_mapped
update out of the loop and reduce the number of atomic ops without
affecting the stats.
The important point to realize is that only removing the last PMD mapping
will result in _nr_pages_mapped going below ENTIRELY_MAPPED, not the
individual atomic_inc_return_relaxed() calls. Concurrent races with
removal of PMD mappings should be handled as expected, just like when we
would have such races right now on a single mapcount update.
In a simple munmap() microbenchmark [1] on 1 GiB of memory backed by the

Introduce burst mode, which can be configured with kfence.burst=$count,
where the burst count denotes the additional successive slab allocations
to be allocated through KFENCE for each sample interval.
The idea is that this can give developers an additional knob to make
KFENCE more aggressive when debugging specific issues of systems where
either rebooting or recompiling the kernel with KASAN is not possible.
Experiment: To assess the effectiveness of the new option, we randomly
picked a recent out-of-bounds [1] and use-after-free bug [2], each with a
reproducer provided by syzbot, that initially detected these bugs with
KASAN. We then tried to reproduce the bugs with KFENCE below.
[1] Fixed by: 7c55b78818cf ("jfs: xattr: fix buffer overflow for invalid xattr")
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=9d1b59d4718239da6f6069d3891863c25f9f24a2
[2] Fixed by: f8ad00f3fb2a ("l2tp: fix possible UAF when cleaning up tunnels")
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=4f34adc84f4a3b080187c390eeef60611fd450e1
The following KFENCE configs were compared. A pool size of 1023 objects
was used for all configurations.
Baseline
kfence.sample_interval=100
kfence.skip_covered_thresh=75
kfence.burst=0
Aggressive
kfence.sample_interval=1
kfence.skip_covered_thresh=10
kfence.burst=0
AggressiveBurst
kfence.sample_interval=1
kfence.skip_covered_thresh=10
kfence.burst=1000
Each reproducer was run 10 times (after a fresh reboot), with the
following detection counts for each KFENCE config:
| Detection Count out of 10 |
| OOB [1] | UAF [2] |
------------------+-------------+-------------+
Default | 0/10 | 0/10 |
Aggressive | 0/10 | 0/10 |
AggressiveBurst | 8/10 | 8/10 |
With the Default and even the Aggressive configs the results are
unsurprising, given KFENCE has not been designed for deterministic bug
detection of small test cases.
However, when enabling burst mode with relatively large burst count,
KFENCE can start to detect heap memory-safety bugs even in simpler test
cases with high probability (in the above cases with ~80% probability).

There is a (harmless) type confusion in lock_vma_under_rcu(): After
vma_start_read(), we have taken the VMA lock but don't know yet whether
the VMA has already been detached and scheduled for RCU freeing. At this
point, ->vm_start and ->vm_end are accessed.
vm_area_struct contains a union such that ->vm_rcu uses the same memory as
->vm_start and ->vm_end; so accessing ->vm_start and ->vm_end of a
detached VMA is illegal and leads to type confusion between union members.
Fix it by reordering the vma->detached check above the address checks, and
document the rules for RCU readers accessing VMAs.
This will probably change the number of observed VMA_LOCK_MISS events
(since previously, trying to access a detached VMA whose ->vm_rcu has been
scheduled would bail out when checking the fault address against the
rcu_head members reinterpreted as VMA bounds).

Currently, there are a couple of issues with our disk swapin tracking for
dynamic zswap shrinker heuristics:
1. We only increment the swapin counter on pivot pages. This means we
are not taking into account pages that also need to be swapped in,
but are already taken care of as part of the readahead window.
2. We are also incrementing when the pages are read from the zswap pool,
which is inaccurate.
This patch rectifies these issues by incrementing the counter whenever we
need to perform a non-zswap read. Note that we are slightly overcounting,
as a page might be read into memory by the readahead algorithm even though
it will not be neeeded by users - however, this is an acceptable
inaccuracy, as the readahead logic itself will adapt to these kind of
scenarios.
To test this change, I built the kernel under a cgroup with its memory.max
set to 2 GB:
real: 236.66s
user: 4286.06s
sys: 652.86s
swapins: 81552
For comparison, with just the new second chance algorithm, the build time
is as follows:
real: 244.85s
user: 4327.22s
sys: 664.39s
swapins: 94663
Without neither:
real: 263.89s
user: 4318.11s
sys: 673.29s
swapins: 227300.5
(average over 5 runs)
With this change, the kernel CPU time reduces by a further 1.7%, and the
real time is reduced by another 3.3%, compared to just the second chance
algorithm by itself. The swapins count also reduces by another 13.85%.
Combinng the two changes, we reduce the real time by 10.32%, kernel CPU
time by 3%, and number of swapins by 64.12%.
To gauge the new scheme's ability to offload cold data, I ran another
benchmark, in which the kernel was built under a cgroup with memory.max
set to 3 GB, but with 0.5 GB worth of cold data allocated before each
build (in a shmem file).
Under the old scheme:
real: 197.18s
user: 4365.08s
sys: 289.02s
zswpwb: 72115.2
Under the new scheme:
real: 195.8s
user: 4362.25s
sys: 290.14s
zswpwb: 87277.8
(average over 5 runs)
Notice that we actually observe a 21% increase in the number of written
back pages - so the new scheme is just as good, if not better at
offloading pages from the zswap pool when they are cold. Build time
reduces by around 0.7% as a result.

Patch series "improving dynamic zswap shrinker protection scheme", v3.
When experimenting with the memory-pressure based (i.e "dynamic") zswap
shrinker in production, we observed a sharp increase in the number of
swapins, which led to performance regression. We were able to trace this
regression to the following problems with the shrinker's warm pages
protection scheme:
1. The protection decays way too rapidly, and the decaying is coupled with
zswap stores, leading to anomalous patterns, in which a small batch of
zswap stores effectively erase all the protection in place for the
warmer pages in the zswap LRU.
This observation has also been corroborated upstream by Takero Funaki
(in [1]).
2. We inaccurately track the number of swapped in pages, missing the
non-pivot pages that are part of the readahead window, while counting
the pages that are found in the zswap pool.
To alleviate these two issues, this patch series improve the dynamic zswap
shrinker in the following manner:
1. Replace the protection size tracking scheme with a second chance
algorithm. This new scheme removes the need for haphazard stats
decaying, and automatically adjusts the pace of pages aging with memory
pressure, and writeback rate with pool activities: slowing down when
the pool is dominated with zswpouts, and speeding up when the pool is
dominated with stale entries.
2. Fix the tracking of the number of swapins to take into account
non-pivot pages in the readahead window.
With these two changes in place, in a kernel-building benchmark without
any cold data added, the number of swapins is reduced by 64.12%. This
translate to a 10.32% reduction in build time. We also observe a 3%
reduction in kernel CPU time.
In another benchmark, with cold data added (to gauge the new algorithm's
ability to offload cold data), the new second chance scheme outperforms
the old protection scheme by around 0.7%, and actually written back around
21% more pages to backing swap device. So the new scheme is just as good,
if not even better than the old scheme on this front as well.

This patch (of 2):
Current zswap shrinker's heuristics to prevent overshrinking is brittle
and inaccurate, specifically in the way we decay the protection size (i.e
making pages in the zswap LRU eligible for reclaim).
We currently decay protection aggressively in zswap_lru_add() calls. This
leads to the following unfortunate effect: when a new batch of pages enter
zswap, the protection size rapidly decays to below 25% of the zswap LRU
size, which is way too low.
We have observed this effect in production, when experimenting with the
zswap shrinker: the rate of shrinking shoots up massively right after a
new batch of zswap stores. This is somewhat the opposite of what we want
originally - when new pages enter zswap, we want to protect both these new
pages AND the pages that are already protected in the zswap LRU.
Replace existing heuristics with a second chance algorithm
1. When a new zswap entry is stored in the zswap pool, its referenced
bit is set.
2. When the zswap shrinker encounters a zswap entry with the referenced
bit set, give it a second chance - only flips the referenced bit and
rotate it in the LRU.
3. If the shrinker encounters the entry again, this time with its
referenced bit unset, then it can reclaim the entry.
In this manner, the aging of the pages in the zswap LRUs are decoupled
from zswap stores, and picks up the pace with increasing memory pressure
(which is what we want).
The second chance scheme allows us to modulate the writeback rate based on
recent pool activities. Entries that recently entered the pool will be
protected, so if the pool is dominated by such entries the writeback rate
will reduce proportionally, protecting the workload's workingset.On the
other hand, stale entries will be written back quickly, which increases
the effective writeback rate.
The referenced bit is added at the hole after the `length` field of struct
zswap_entry, so there is no extra space overhead for this algorithm.
We will still maintain the count of swapins, which is consumed and
subtracted from the lru size in zswap_shrinker_count(), to further
penalize past overshrinking that led to disk swapins. The idea is that
had we considered this many more pages in the LRU active/protected, they
would not have been written back and we would not have had to swapped them
in.
To test this new heuristics, I built the kernel under a cgroup with
memory.max set to 2G, on a host with 36 cores:
With the old shrinker:
real: 263.89s
user: 4318.11s
sys: 673.29s
swapins: 227300.5
With the second chance algorithm:
real: 244.85s
user: 4327.22s
sys: 664.39s
swapins: 94663
(average over 5 runs)
We observe an 1.3% reduction in kernel CPU usage, and around 7.2%
reduction in real time. Note that the number of swapped in pages
dropped by 58%.

The generic mmap_base code tries to leave a gap between the top of the
stack and the mmap base address, but enforces a minimum gap size (MIN_GAP)
of 128MB, which is too large on some setups. In particular, on arm tasks
without ADDR_LIMIT_32BIT, the STACK_TOP value is less than 128MB, so it's
impossible to fit such a gap in.
Only enforce this minimum if MIN_GAP < MAX_GAP, as we'd prefer to honour
MAX_GAP, which is defined proportionally, so scales better and always
leaves us with both _some_ stack space and some room for mmap.
This fixes the usercopy KUnit test suite on 32-bit arm, as it doesn't set
any personality flags so gets the default (in this case 26-bit) task size.
This test can be run with: ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --arch arm
usercopy --make_options LLVM=1
