mm: vmscan: reclaim writepage is IO cost

2020-06-04T03:09:49Z

The VM tries to balance reclaim pressure between anon and file so as to reduce the amount of IO incurred due to the memory shortage. It already counts refaults and swapins, but in addition it should also count writepage calls during reclaim. For swap, this is obvious: it's IO that wouldn't have occurred if the anonymous memory hadn't been under memory pressure. From a relative balancing point of view this makes sense as well: even if anon is cold and reclaimable, a cache that isn't thrashing may have equally cold pages that don't require IO to reclaim. For file writeback, it's trickier: some of the reclaim writepage IO would have likely occurred anyway due to dirty expiration. But not all of it - premature writeback reduces batching and generates additional writes. Since the flushers are already woken up by the time the VM starts writing cache pages one by one, let's assume that we'e likely causing writes that wouldn't have happened without memory pressure. In addition, the per-page cost of IO would have probably been much cheaper if written in larger batches from the flusher thread rather than the single-page-writes from kswapd. For our purposes - getting the trend right to accelerate convergence on a stable state that doesn't require paging at all - this is sufficiently accurate. If we later wanted to optimize for sustained thrashing, we can still refine the measurements. Count all writepage calls from kswapd as IO cost toward the LRU that the page belongs to. Why do this dynamically? Don't we know in advance that anon pages require IO to reclaim, and so could build in a static bias? First, scanning is not the same as reclaiming. If all the anon pages are referenced, we may not swap for a while just because we're scanning the anon list. During this time, however, it's important that we age anonymous memory and the page cache at the same rate so that their hot-cold gradients are comparable. Everything else being equal, we still want to reclaim the coldest memory overall. Second, we keep copies in swap unless the page changes. If there is swap-backed data that's mostly read (tmpfs file) and has been swapped out before, we can reclaim it without incurring additional IO.

mm/vmscan: count layzfree pages and fix nr_isolated_* mismatch

2020-06-04T03:09:47Z

Fix an nr_isolate_* mismatch problem between cma and dirty lazyfree pages. If try_to_unmap_one is used for reclaim and it detects a dirty lazyfree page, then the lazyfree page is changed to a normal anon page having SwapBacked by commit 802a3a92ad7a ("mm: reclaim MADV_FREE pages"). Even with the change, reclaim context correctly counts isolated files because it uses is_file_lru to distinguish file. And the change to anon is not happened if try_to_unmap_one is used for migration. So migration context like compaction also correctly counts isolated files even though it uses page_is_file_lru insted of is_file_lru. Recently page_is_file_cache was renamed to page_is_file_lru by commit 9de4f22a60f7 ("mm: code cleanup for MADV_FREE"). But the nr_isolate_* mismatch problem happens on cma alloc. There is reclaim_clean_pages_from_list which is being used only by cma. It was introduced by commit 02c6de8d757c ("mm: cma: discard clean pages during contiguous allocation instead of migration") to reclaim clean file pages without migration. The cma alloc uses both reclaim_clean_pages_from_list and migrate_pages, and it uses page_is_file_lru to count isolated files. If there are dirty lazyfree pages allocated from cma memory region, the pages are counted as isolated file at the beginging but are counted as isolated anon after finished. Mem-Info: Node 0 active_anon:3045904kB inactive_anon:611448kB active_file:14892kB inactive_file:205636kB unevictable:10416kB isolated(anon):0kB isolated(file):37664kB mapped:630216kB dirty:384kB writeback:0kB shmem:42576kB writeback_tmp:0kB unstable:0kB all_unreclaimable? no Like log above, there were too much isolated files, 37664kB, which triggers too_many_isolated in reclaim even when there is no actually isolated file in system wide. It could be reproducible by running two programs, writing on MADV_FREE page and doing cma alloc, respectively. Although isolated anon is 0, I found that the internal value of isolated anon was the negative value of isolated file. Fix this by compensating the isolated count for both LRU lists. Count non-discarded lazyfree pages in shrink_page_list, then compensate the counted number in reclaim_clean_pages_from_list.

sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler

2020-04-27T06:07:40Z

Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and from userspace in common code. This also means that the strings are always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit safer. As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers a lot of the changes are mechnical. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Acked-by: Andrey Ignatov Signed-off-by: Al Viro

mm/vmstat: add helpers to get vmstat item names for each enum type

2019-12-05T03:44:11Z

Statistics in vmstat is combined from counters with different structure, but names for them are merged into one array. This patch adds trivial helpers to get name for each item: const char *zone_stat_name(enum zone_stat_item item); const char *numa_stat_name(enum numa_stat_item item); const char *node_stat_name(enum node_stat_item item); const char *writeback_stat_name(enum writeback_stat_item item); const char *vm_event_name(enum vm_event_item item); Names for enum writeback_stat_item are folded in the middle of vmstat_text so this patch moves declaration into header to calculate offset of following items. Also this patch reuses piece of node stat names for lru list names: const char *lru_list_name(enum lru_list lru); This returns common lru list names: "inactive_anon", "active_anon", "inactive_file", "active_file", "unevictable".

mm: move recent_rotated pages calculation to shrink_inactive_list()

2019-05-14T16:47:45Z

Patch series "mm: Generalize putback functions"] putback_inactive_pages() and move_active_pages_to_lru() are almost similar, so this patchset merges them ina single function. This patch (of 4): The patch moves the calculation from putback_inactive_pages() to shrink_inactive_list(). This makes putback_inactive_pages() looking more similar to move_active_pages_to_lru(). To do that, we account activated pages in reclaim_stat::nr_activate. Since a page may change its LRU type from anon to file cache inside shrink_page_list() (see ClearPageSwapBacked()), we have to account pages for the both types. So, nr_activate becomes an array. Previously we used nr_activate to account PGACTIVATE events, but now we account them into pgactivate variable (since they are about number of pages in general, not about sum of hpage_nr_pages).

mm, vmscan, tracing: use pointer to reclaim_stat struct in trace event

2018-04-11T17:28:30Z

The trace event trace_mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive() currently has 12 parameters! Seven of them are from the reclaim_stat structure. This structure is currently local to mm/vmscan.c. By moving it to the global vmstat.h header, we can also reference it from the vmscan tracepoints. In moving it, it brings down the overhead of passing so many arguments to the trace event. In the future, we may limit the number of arguments that a trace event may pass (ideally just 6, but more realistically it may be 8). Before this patch, the code to call the trace event is this: 0f 83 aa fe ff ff jae ffffffff811e6261 48 8b 45 a0 mov -0x60(%rbp),%rax 45 8b 64 24 20 mov 0x20(%r12),%r12d 44 8b 6d d4 mov -0x2c(%rbp),%r13d 8b 4d d0 mov -0x30(%rbp),%ecx 44 8b 75 cc mov -0x34(%rbp),%r14d 44 8b 7d c8 mov -0x38(%rbp),%r15d 48 89 45 90 mov %rax,-0x70(%rbp) 8b 83 b8 fe ff ff mov -0x148(%rbx),%eax 8b 55 c0 mov -0x40(%rbp),%edx 8b 7d c4 mov -0x3c(%rbp),%edi 8b 75 b8 mov -0x48(%rbp),%esi 89 45 80 mov %eax,-0x80(%rbp) 65 ff 05 e4 f7 e2 7e incl %gs:0x7ee2f7e4(%rip) # 15bd0 <__preempt_count> 48 8b 05 75 5b 13 01 mov 0x1135b75(%rip),%rax # ffffffff8231bf68 <__tracepoint_mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive+0x28> 48 85 c0 test %rax,%rax 74 72 je ffffffff811e646a 48 89 c3 mov %rax,%rbx 4c 8b 10 mov (%rax),%r10 89 f8 mov %edi,%eax 48 89 85 68 ff ff ff mov %rax,-0x98(%rbp) 89 f0 mov %esi,%eax 48 89 85 60 ff ff ff mov %rax,-0xa0(%rbp) 89 c8 mov %ecx,%eax 48 89 85 78 ff ff ff mov %rax,-0x88(%rbp) 89 d0 mov %edx,%eax 48 89 85 70 ff ff ff mov %rax,-0x90(%rbp) 8b 45 8c mov -0x74(%rbp),%eax 48 8b 7b 08 mov 0x8(%rbx),%rdi 48 83 c3 18 add $0x18,%rbx 50 push %rax 41 54 push %r12 41 55 push %r13 ff b5 78 ff ff ff pushq -0x88(%rbp) 41 56 push %r14 41 57 push %r15 ff b5 70 ff ff ff pushq -0x90(%rbp) 4c 8b 8d 68 ff ff ff mov -0x98(%rbp),%r9 4c 8b 85 60 ff ff ff mov -0xa0(%rbp),%r8 48 8b 4d 98 mov -0x68(%rbp),%rcx 48 8b 55 90 mov -0x70(%rbp),%rdx 8b 75 80 mov -0x80(%rbp),%esi 41 ff d2 callq *%r10 After the patch: 0f 83 a8 fe ff ff jae ffffffff811e626d 8b 9b b8 fe ff ff mov -0x148(%rbx),%ebx 45 8b 64 24 20 mov 0x20(%r12),%r12d 4c 8b 6d a0 mov -0x60(%rbp),%r13 65 ff 05 f5 f7 e2 7e incl %gs:0x7ee2f7f5(%rip) # 15bd0 <__preempt_count> 4c 8b 35 86 5b 13 01 mov 0x1135b86(%rip),%r14 # ffffffff8231bf68 <__tracepoint_mm_vmscan_lru_shrink_inactive+0x28> 4d 85 f6 test %r14,%r14 74 2a je ffffffff811e6411 49 8b 06 mov (%r14),%rax 8b 4d 8c mov -0x74(%rbp),%ecx 49 8b 7e 08 mov 0x8(%r14),%rdi 49 83 c6 18 add $0x18,%r14 4c 89 ea mov %r13,%rdx 45 89 e1 mov %r12d,%r9d 4c 8d 45 b8 lea -0x48(%rbp),%r8 89 de mov %ebx,%esi 51 push %rcx 48 8b 4d 98 mov -0x68(%rbp),%rcx ff d0 callq *%rax Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/2559d7cb-ec60-1200-2362-04fa34fd02bb@fb.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180322121003.4177af15@gandalf.local.home Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) Reported-by: Alexei Starovoitov Acked-by: David Rientjes Acked-by: Michal Hocko Cc: Mel Gorman Cc: Vlastimil Babka Cc: Andrey Ryabinin Cc: Alexei Starovoitov Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
