After adding swapping out support for THP (Transparent Huge Page), it is
possible that a THP in swap cache (partly swapped out) need to be split.
To split such a THP, the swap cluster backing the THP need to be split
too, that is, the CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE flag need to be cleared for the swap
cluster. The patch implemented this.
And because the THP swap writing needs the THP keeps as huge page during
writing. The PageWriteback flag is checked before splitting.

To support delay splitting THP (Transparent Huge Page) after swapped
out, we need to enhance swap writing code to support to write a THP as a
whole. This will improve swap write IO performance.
As Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> pointed out, this should be based on
multipage bvec support, which hasn't been merged yet. So this patch is
only for testing the functionality of the other patches in the series.
And will be reimplemented after multipage bvec support is merged.

After supporting to delay THP (Transparent Huge Page) splitting after
swapped out, it is possible that some page table mappings of the THP are
turned into swap entries. So reuse_swap_page() need to check the swap
count in addition to the map count as before. This patch done that.
In the huge PMD write protect fault handler, in addition to the page map
count, the swap count need to be checked too, so the page lock need to
be acquired too when calling reuse_swap_page() in addition to the page
table lock.

The normal swap slot reclaiming can be done when the swap count reaches
SWAP_HAS_CACHE. But for the swap slot which is backing a THP, all swap
slots backing one THP must be reclaimed together, because the swap slot
may be used again when the THP is swapped out again later. So the swap
slots backing one THP can be reclaimed together when the swap count for
all swap slots for the THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE. In the patch, the
functions to check whether the swap count for all swap slots backing one
THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE are implemented and used when checking
whether a swap slot can be reclaimed.
To make it easier to determine whether a swap slot is backing a THP, a
new swap cluster flag named CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE is added to mark a swap
cluster which is backing a THP (Transparent Huge Page). Because THP
swap in as a whole isn't supported now. After deleting the THP from the
swap cache (for example, swapping out finished), the CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE
flag will be cleared. So that, the normal pages inside THP can be
swapped in individually.

Patch series "mm, THP, swap: Delay splitting THP after swapped out", v3.
This is the second step of THP (Transparent Huge Page) swap
optimization. In the first step, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. In the second
step, the splitting is delayed further to after the swapping out
finished. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally
avoid splitting THP for the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as
a whole.
In the patchset, more operations for the anonymous THP reclaiming, such
as TLB flushing, writing the THP to the swap device, removing the THP
from the swap cache are batched. So that the performance of anonymous
THP swapping out are improved.
During the development, the following scenarios/code paths have been
checked,
- swap out/in
- swap off
- write protect page fault
- madvise_free
- process exit
- split huge page
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 42% (from about
5.81GB/s to about 8.25GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 16 processes. At the same time, the IPI (reflect TLB flushing)
reduced about 78.9%. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
Below is the part of the cover letter for the first step patchset of THP
swap optimization which applies to all steps.
=========================
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce TLB flushing and lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary.
For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be
turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with
MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patch (of 12):
Previously, swapcache_free_cluster() is used only in the error path of
shrink_page_list() to free the swap cluster just allocated if the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) is failed to be split. In this patch, it is
enhanced to clear the swap cache flag (SWAP_HAS_CACHE) for the swap
cluster that holds the contents of THP swapped out.
This will be used in delaying splitting THP after swapping out support.
Because there is no THP swapping in as a whole support yet, after
clearing the swap cache flag, the swap cluster backing the THP swapped
out will be split. So that the swap slots in the swap cluster can be
swapped in as normal pages later.

Commit fa06235b8e ("cgroup: reset css on destruction") caused
css_reset callback to be called from the offlining path. Although it
solves the problem mentioned in the commit description ("For instance,
memory cgroup needs to reset memory.low, otherwise pages charged to a
dead cgroup might never get reclaimed."), generally speaking, it's not
correct.
An offline cgroup can still be a resource domain, and we shouldn't grant
it more resources than it had before deletion.
For instance, if an offline memory cgroup has dirty pages, we should
still imply i/o limits during writeback.
The css_reset callback is designed to return the cgroup state into the
original state, that means reset all limits and counters. It's
spomething different from the offlining, and we shouldn't use it from
the offlining path. Instead, we should adjust necessary settings from
the per-controller css_offline callbacks (e.g. reset memory.low).

A removed memory cgroup with a defined memory.low and some belonging
pagecache has very low chances to be freed.
If a cgroup has been removed, there is likely no memory pressure inside
the cgroup, and the pagecache is protected from the external pressure by
the defined low limit. The cgroup will be freed only after the reclaim
of all belonging pages. And it will not happen until there are any
reclaimable memory in the system. That means, there is a good chance,
that a cold pagecache will reside in the memory for an undefined amount
of time, wasting system resources.
This problem was fixed earlier by fa06235b8e ("cgroup: reset css on
destruction"), but it's not a best way to do it, as we can't really
reset all limits/counters during cgroup offlining.

Commit e64855c6cf ("fs: Add helper to clean bdev aliases under a bh
and use it") added a wrapper for clean_bdev_aliases() that invalidates
bdev aliases underlying a single buffer head.
However this has caused a performance regression for bonnie++ benchmark
on ext4 filesystem when delayed allocation is turned off (ext3 mode) -
average of 3 runs:
Hmean SeqOut Char 164787.55 ( 0.00%) 107189.06 (-34.95%)
Hmean SeqOut Block 219883.89 ( 0.00%) 168870.32 (-23.20%)
The reason for this regression is that clean_bdev_aliases() is slower
when called for a single block because pagevec_lookup() it uses will end
up iterating through the radix tree until it finds a page (which may
take a while) but we are only interested whether there's a page at a
particular index.
Fix the problem by using pagevec_lookup_range() instead which avoids the
needless iteration.

consistent with pagevec_lookup_tag() and also as a preparation for
ranged lookups), provide ranged variant of pagevec_lookup() and use it
in places where it makes sense. This not only removes some common code
but is also a measurable performance win for some use cases (see patch
4/10) where radix tree is sparse and searching & grabing of a page after
the end of the range has measurable overhead.
This patch (of 10):
The callback doesn't ever get called. Remove it.

Tetsuo Handa has reported[1][2][3] that direct reclaimers might get
stuck in too_many_isolated loop basically for ever because the last few
pages on the LRU lists are isolated by the kswapd which is stuck on fs
locks when doing the pageout or slab reclaim. This in turn means that
there is nobody to actually trigger the oom killer and the system is
basically unusable.
too_many_isolated has been introduced by commit 35cd78156c ("vmscan:
throttle direct reclaim when too many pages are isolated already") to
prevent from pre-mature oom killer invocations because back then no
reclaim progress could indeed trigger the OOM killer too early.
But since the oom detection rework in commit 0a0337e0d1 ("mm, oom:
rework oom detection") the allocation/reclaim retry loop considers all
the reclaimable pages and throttles the allocation at that layer so we
can loosen the direct reclaim throttling.
Make shrink_inactive_list loop over too_many_isolated bounded and
returns immediately when the situation hasn't resolved after the first
sleep.
Replace congestion_wait by a simple schedule_timeout_interruptible
because we are not really waiting on the IO congestion in this path.
Please note that this patch can theoretically cause the OOM killer to
trigger earlier while there are many pages isolated for the reclaim
which makes progress only very slowly. This would be obvious from the
oom report as the number of isolated pages are printed there. If we
ever hit this should_reclaim_retry should consider those numbers in the
evaluation in one way or another.

Getting -EBUSY from zs_page_migrate will make migration slow (retry) or
fail (zs_page_putback will schedule_work free_work, but it cannot ensure
the success).
I noticed this issue because my Kernel patched
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/28/113) that will remove retry in
__alloc_contig_migrate_range.
This retry will handle the -EBUSY because it will re-isolate the page
and re-call migrate_pages. Without it will make cma_alloc fail at once
with -EBUSY.
According to the review from Minchan Kim in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/28/113, I update the patch to skip
unnecessary loops but not return -EBUSY if zspage is not inuse.
Following is what I got with highalloc-performance in a vbox with 2 cpu

Nadav Amit report zap_page_range only specifies that the caller protect
the VMA list but does not specify whether it is held for read or write
with callers using either. madvise holds mmap_sem for read meaning that
a parallel zap operation can unmap PTEs which are then potentially
skipped by madvise which potentially returns with stale TLB entries
present. While the API could be extended, it would be a difficult API
to use. This patch causes zap_page_range() to always consider flushing
the full affected range. For small ranges or sparsely populated
mappings, this may result in one additional spurious TLB flush. For
larger ranges, it is possible that the TLB has already been flushed and
the overhead is negligible. Either way, this approach is safer overall
and avoids stale entries being present when madvise returns.
This can be illustrated with the following program provided by Nadav
Amit and slightly modified. With the patch applied, it has an exit code
of 0 indicating a stale TLB entry did not leak to userspace.

When walking the page tables to resolve an address that points to
!p*d_present() entry, huge_pte_offset() returns inconsistent values
depending on the level of page table (PUD or PMD).
It returns NULL in the case of a PUD entry while in the case of a PMD
entry, it returns a pointer to the page table entry.
A similar inconsitency exists when handling swap entries - returns NULL
for a PUD entry while a pointer to the pte_t is retured for the PMD
entry.
Update huge_pte_offset() to make the behaviour consistent - return a
pointer to the pte_t for hugepage or swap entries. Only return NULL in
instances where we have a p*d_none() entry and the size parameter
doesn't match the hugepage size at this level of the page table.
Document the behaviour to clarify the expected behaviour of this
function. This is to set clear semantics for architecture specific
implementations of huge_pte_offset().
Discussions on the arm64 implementation of huge_pte_offset()
(http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg133699.html) showed that there
is benefit from returning a pte_t* in the case of p*d_none().
The fault handling code in hugetlb_fault() can handle p*d_none() entries
and saves an extra round trip to huge_pte_alloc(). Other callers of
huge_pte_offset() should be ok as well.

mremap will attempt to create a 'duplicate' mapping if old_size == 0 is
specified. In the case of private mappings, mremap will actually create
a fresh separate private mapping unrelated to the original. This does
not fit with the design semantics of mremap as the intention is to
create a new mapping based on the original.
Therefore, return EINVAL in the case where an attempt is made to
duplicate a private mapping. Also, print a warning message (once) if
such an attempt is made.

init_pages_in_zone() is run under zone->lock, which means a long lock
time and disabled interrupts on large machines. This is currently not
an issue since it runs early in boot, but a later patch will change
that.
However, like other pfn scanners, we don't actually need zone->lock even
when other cpus are running. The only potentially dangerous operation
here is reading bogus buddy page owner due to race, and we already know
how to handle that. The worst that can happen is that we skip some
early allocated pages, which should not affect the debugging power of
page_owner noticeably.

In init_pages_in_zone() we currently use the generic set_page_owner()
function to initialize page_owner info for early allocated pages. This
means we needlessly do lookup_page_ext() twice for each page, and more
importantly save_stack(), which has to unwind the stack and find the
corresponding stack depot handle. Because the stack is always the same
for the initialization, unwind it once in init_pages_in_zone() and reuse
the handle. Also avoid the repeated lookup_page_ext().
This can significantly reduce boot times with page_owner=on on large
machines, especially for kernels built without frame pointer, where the
stack unwinding is noticeably slower.

Commit f52407ce2d ("memory hotplug: alloc page from other node in
memory online") has introduced N_HIGH_MEMORY checks to only use NUMA
aware allocations when there is some memory present because the
respective node might not have any memory yet at the time and so it
could fail or even OOM.
Things have changed since then though. Zonelists are now always
initialized before we do any allocations even for hotplug (see
959ecc48fc ("mm/memory_hotplug.c: fix building of node hotplug
zonelist")).
Therefore these checks are not really needed. In fact caller of the
allocator should never care about whether the node is populated because
that might change at any time.

zonelists_mutex was introduced by commit 4eaf3f6439 ("mem-hotplug: fix
potential race while building zonelist for new populated zone") to
protect zonelist building from races. This is no longer needed though
because both memory online and offline are fully serialized. New users
have grown since then.
Notably setup_per_zone_wmarks wants to prevent from races between memory
hotplug, khugepaged setup and manual min_free_kbytes update via sysctl
(see cfd3da1e49 ("mm: Serialize access to min_free_kbytes"). Let's
add a private lock for that purpose. This will not prevent from seeing
halfway through memory hotplug operation but that shouldn't be a big
deal becuse memory hotplug will update watermarks explicitly so we will
eventually get a full picture. The lock just makes sure we won't race
when updating watermarks leading to weird results.
Also __build_all_zonelists manipulates global data so add a private lock
for it as well. This doesn't seem to be necessary today but it is more
robust to have a lock there.
While we are at it make sure we document that memory online/offline
depends on a full serialization either via mem_hotplug_begin() or
device_lock.

build_all_zonelists has been (ab)using stop_machine to make sure that
zonelists do not change while somebody is looking at them. This is is
just a gross hack because a) it complicates the context from which we
can call build_all_zonelists (see 3f906ba236 ("mm/memory-hotplug:
switch locking to a percpu rwsem")) and b) is is not really necessary
especially after "mm, page_alloc: simplify zonelist initialization" and
c) it doesn't really provide the protection it claims (see below).
Updates of the zonelists happen very seldom, basically only when a zone
becomes populated during memory online or when it loses all the memory
during offline. A racing iteration over zonelists could either miss a
zone or try to work on one zone twice. Both of these are something we
can live with occasionally because there will always be at least one
zone visible so we are not likely to fail allocation too easily for
example.
Please note that the original stop_machine approach doesn't really
provide a better exclusion because the iteration might be interrupted
half way (unless the whole iteration is preempt disabled which is not
the case in most cases) so the some zones could still be seen twice or a
zone missed.

build_zonelists gradually builds zonelists from the nearest to the most
distant node. As we do not know how many populated zones we will have
in each node we rely on the _zoneref to terminate initialized part of
the zonelist by a NULL zone. While this is functionally correct it is
quite suboptimal because we cannot allow updaters to race with zonelists
users because they could see an empty zonelist and fail the allocation
or hit the OOM killer in the worst case.
We can do much better, though. We can store the node ordering into an
already existing node_order array and then give this array to
build_zonelists_in_node_order and do the whole initialization at once.
zonelists consumers still might see halfway initialized state but that
should be much more tolerateable because the list will not be empty and
they would either see some zone twice or skip over some zone(s) in the
worst case which shouldn't lead to immediate failures.
While at it let's simplify build_zonelists_node which is rather
confusing now. It gets an index into the zoneref array and returns the
updated index for the next iteration. Let's rename the function to
build_zonerefs_node to better reflect its purpose and give it zoneref
array to update. The function doesn't the index anymore. It just
returns the number of added zones so that the caller can advance the
zonered array start for the next update.
This patch alone doesn't introduce any functional change yet, though, it
is merely a preparatory work for later changes.

try_online_node calls hotadd_new_pgdat which already calls
build_all_zonelists. So the additional call is redundant. Even though
hotadd_new_pgdat will only initialize zonelists of the new node this is
the right thing to do because such a node doesn't have any memory so
other zonelists would ignore all the zones from this node anyway.

build_all_zonelists gets a zone parameter to initialize zone's pagesets.
There is only a single user which gives a non-NULL zone parameter and
that one doesn't really need the rest of the build_all_zonelists (see
commit 6dcd73d701 ("memory-hotplug: allocate zone's pcp before
onlining pages")).
Therefore remove setup_zone_pageset from build_all_zonelists and call it
from its only user directly. This will also remove a pointless zonlists
rebuilding which is always good.

__build_all_zonelists reinitializes each online cpu local node for
CONFIG_HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES. This makes sense because previously
memory less nodes could gain some memory during memory hotplug and so
the local node should be changed for CPUs close to such a node. It
makes less sense to do that unconditionally for a newly creaded NUMA
node which is still offline and without any memory.
Let's also simplify the cpu loop and use for_each_online_cpu instead of
an explicit cpu_online check for all possible cpus.

boot_pageset is a boot time hack which gets superseded by normal
pagesets later in the boot process. It makes zero sense to reinitialize
it again and again during memory hotplug.

Patch series "cleanup zonelists initialization", v1.
This is aimed at cleaning up the zonelists initialization code we have
but the primary motivation was bug report [2] which got resolved but the
usage of stop_machine is just too ugly to live. Most patches are
straightforward but 3 of them need a special consideration.
Patch 1 removes zone ordered zonelists completely. I am CCing linux-api
because this is a user visible change. As I argue in the patch
description I do not think we have a strong usecase for it these days.
I have kept sysctl in place and warn into the log if somebody tries to
configure zone lists ordering. If somebody has a real usecase for it we
can revert this patch but I do not expect anybody will actually notice
runtime differences. This patch is not strictly needed for the rest but
it made patch 6 easier to implement.
Patch 7 removes stop_machine from build_all_zonelists without adding any
special synchronization between iterators and updater which I _believe_
is acceptable as explained in the changelog. I hope I am not missing
anything.
Patch 8 then removes zonelists_mutex which is kind of ugly as well and
not really needed AFAICS but a care should be taken when double checking
my thinking.
This patch (of 9):
Supporting zone ordered zonelists costs us just a lot of code while the
usefulness is arguable if existent at all. Mel has already made node
ordering default on 64b systems. 32b systems are still using
ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE because it is considered better to fallback to a
different NUMA node rather than consume precious lowmem zones.
This argument is, however, weaken by the fact that the memory reclaim
has been reworked to be node rather than zone oriented. This means that
lowmem requests have to skip over all highmem pages on LRUs already and
so zone ordering doesn't save the reclaim time much. So the only
advantage of the zone ordering is under a light memory pressure when
highmem requests do not ever hit into lowmem zones and the lowmem
pressure doesn't need to reclaim.
Considering that 32b NUMA systems are rather suboptimal already and it
is generally advisable to use 64b kernel on such a HW I believe we
should rather care about the code maintainability and just get rid of
ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE altogether. Keep systcl in place and warn if
somebody tries to set zone ordering either from kernel command line or
the sysctl.

This patch enables read IO from backing device. For the feature, it
implements two IO read functions to transfer data from backing storage.
One is asynchronous IO function and other is synchronous one.
A reason I need synchrnous IO is due to partial write which need to
complete read IO before the overwriting partial data.
We can make the partial IO's case asynchronous, too but at the moment, I
don't feel adding more complexity to support such rare use cases so want
to go with simple.

This patch enables write IO to transfer data to backing device. For
that, it implements write_to_bdev function which creates new bio and
chaining with parent bio to make the parent bio asynchrnous.
For rw_page which don't have parent bio, it submit owned bio and handle
IO completion by zram_page_end_io.
Also, this patch defines new flag ZRAM_WB to mark written page for later
read IO.

For upcoming asynchronous IO like writeback, zram_rw_page should be
aware of that whether requested IO was completed or submitted
successfully, otherwise error.
For the goal, zram_bvec_rw has three return values.
-errno: returns error number
0: IO request is done synchronously
1: IO request is issued successfully.

With backing device, zram needs management of free space of backing
device.
This patch adds bitmap logic to manage free space which is very naive.
However, it would be simple enough as considering uncompressible pages's
frequenty in zram.

zram_decompress_page naming is not proper because it doesn't decompress
if page was dedup hit or stored with compression.
Use more abstract term and consistent with write path function
