When executing transhuge-stress with an argument to specify the virtual
memory size for testing, the ram size is reported as 0, e.g.
transhuge-stress 384
thp-mmap: allocate 192 transhuge pages, using 384 MiB virtual memory and 0 MiB of ram
thp-mmap: 0.184 s/loop, 0.957 ms/page, 2090.265 MiB/s 192 succeed, 0 failed
This appears to be due to a thinko in commit 0085d61fe0
("selftests/vm/transhuge-stress: stress test for memory compaction"),
where, at a guess, the intent was to base "xyz MiB of ram" on `ram`
size.
Here are results after using `ram` size:
thp-mmap: allocate 192 transhuge pages, using 384 MiB virtual memory and 14 MiB of ram

The memory demotion needs to call migrate_pages() to do the jobs. And
it is controlled by a knob, however, the knob doesn't depend on
CONFIG_MIGRATION. The knob could be truned on even though MIGRATION is
disabled, this will not cause any crash since migrate_pages() would just
return -ENOSYS. But it is definitely not optimal to go through demotion
path then retry regular swap every time.
And it doesn't make too much sense to have the knob visible to the users
when !MIGRATION. Move the related code from mempolicy.[h|c] to
migrate.[h|c].

In order to remove the need to manually keep three different files in
synch, provide a common definition of the mapping between enum
migrate_reason, and the associated strings for each enum item.
1. Use the tracing system's mapping of enums to strings, by redefining
and reusing the MIGRATE_REASON and supporting macros, and using that
to populate the string array in mm/debug.c.
2. Move enum migrate_reason to migrate_mode.h. This is not strictly
necessary for this patch, but migrate mode and migrate reason go
together, so this will slightly clarify things.

We can specify the number of hugepages to allocate at boot. But the
hugepages is balanced in all nodes at present. In some scenarios, we
only need hugepages in one node. For example: DPDK needs hugepages
which are in the same node as NIC.
If DPDK needs four hugepages of 1G size in node1 and system has 16 numa
nodes we must reserve 64 hugepages on the kernel cmdline. But only four
hugepages are used. The others should be free after boot. If the
system memory is low(for example: 64G), it will be an impossible task.
So extend the hugepages parameter to support specifying hugepages on a
specific node. For example add following parameter:
hugepagesz=1G hugepages=0:1,1:3
It will allocate 1 hugepage in node0 and 3 hugepages in node1.

The OOM reaper alters user address space which might theoretically alter
the snapshot if reaping is allowed to happen after the freezer quiescent
state. To this end, the reaper kthread uses wait_event_freezable()
while waiting for any work so that it cannot run while the system
freezes.
However, the current implementation doesn't respect the freezer because
all kernel threads are created with the PF_NOFREEZE flag, so they are
automatically excluded from freezing operations. This means that the
OOM reaper can race with system snapshotting if it has work to do while
the system is being frozen.
Fix this by adding a set_freezable() call which will clear the
PF_NOFREEZE flag and thus make the OOM reaper visible to the freezer.
Please note that the OOM reaper altering the snapshot this way is mostly
a theoretical concern and has not been observed in practice.

Patch series "memblock: cleanup memblock_free interface", v2.
This is the fix for memblock freeing APIs mismatch [1].
The first patch is a cleanup of numa_distance allocation in arch_numa
I've spotted during the conversion. The second patch is a fix for Xen
memory freeing on some of the error paths.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wj9k4LZTz+svCxLYs5Y1=+yKrbAUArH1+ghyG3OLd8VVg@mail.gmail.com
This patch (of 6):
Memory allocation of numa_distance uses memblock_phys_alloc_range()
without actual range limits, converts the returned physical address to
virtual and then only uses the virtual address for further
initialization.
Simplify this by replacing memblock_phys_alloc_range() with
memblock_alloc().

When viewing page owner information, we may be more concerned about the
total memory rather than the times of stack appears. Therefore, the
following adjustments are made:
1. Added the statistics on the total number of pages.
2. Added the optional parameter "-m" to configure the program to sort by
memory (total pages).
The general output of page_owner is as follows:
Page allocated via order XXX, ...
PFN XXX ...
// Detailed stack
Page allocated via order XXX, ...
PFN XXX ...
// Detailed stack
The original page_owner_sort ignores PFN rows, puts the remaining rows
in buf, counts the times of buf, and finally sorts them according to the
times. General output:
XXX times:
Page allocated via order XXX, ...
// Detailed stack
Now, we use regexp to extract the page order value from the buf, and
count the total pages for the buf. General output:
XXX times, XXX pages:
Page allocated via order XXX, ...
// Detailed stack
By default, it is still sorted by the times of buf; If you want to sort
by the pages nums of buf, use the new -m parameter.

Neil Brown raised concerns about callers of reclaim_throttle specifying
a timeout value. The original timeout values to congestion_wait() were
probably pulled out of thin air or copy&pasted from somewhere else.
This patch centralises the timeout values and selects a timeout based on
the reason for reclaim throttling. These figures are also pulled out of
the same thin air but better values may be derived
Running a workload that is throttling for inappropriate periods and
tracing mm_vmscan_throttled can be used to pick a more appropriate
value. Excessive throttling would pick a lower timeout where as
excessive CPU usage in reclaim context would select a larger timeout.
Ideally a large value would always be used and the wakeups would occur
before a timeout but that requires careful testing.

shrink_inactive_list() will wake flusher threads if the LRU tail are
unqueued dirty pages so the flusher should be active. If it fails to
make progress due to pages under writeback not being completed quickly
then it should stall on VMSCAN_THROTTLE_WRITEBACK.

do_writepages throttles on congestion if the writepages() fails due to a
lack of memory but congestion_wait() is partially broken as the
congestion state is not updated for all BDIs.
This patch stalls waiting for a number of pages to complete writeback
that located on the local node. The main weakness is that there is no
correlation between the location of the inode's pages and locality but

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.

Page reclaim throttles on congestion if too many parallel reclaim
instances have isolated too many pages. This makes no sense, excessive
parallelisation has nothing to do with writeback or congestion.
This patch creates an additional workqueue to sleep on when too many
pages are isolated. The throttled tasks are woken when the number of
isolated pages is reduced or a timeout occurs. There may be some false
positive wakeups for GFP_NOIO/GFP_NOFS callers but the tasks will
throttle again if necessary.

Patch series "Remove dependency on congestion_wait in mm/", v5.
This series that removes all calls to congestion_wait in mm/ and deletes
wait_iff_congested. It's not a clever implementation but
congestion_wait has been broken for a long time [1].
Even if congestion throttling worked, it was never a great idea. While
excessive dirty/writeback pages at the tail of the LRU is one
possibility that reclaim may be slow, there is also the problem of too
many pages being isolated and reclaim failing for other reasons
(elevated references, too many pages isolated, excessive LRU contention
etc).
This series replaces the "congestion" throttling with 3 different types.
- If there are too many dirty/writeback pages, sleep until a timeout or
enough pages get cleaned
- If too many pages are isolated, sleep until enough isolated pages are
either reclaimed or put back on the LRU
- If no progress is being made, direct reclaim tasks sleep until
another task makes progress with acceptable efficiency.
This was initially tested with a mix of workloads that used to trigger
corner cases that no longer work. A new test case was created called
"stutterp" (pagereclaim-stutterp-noreaders in mmtests) using a freshly
created XFS filesystem. Note that it may be necessary to increase the
timeout of ssh if executing remotely as ssh itself can get throttled and
the connection may timeout.
stutterp varies the number of "worker" processes from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4
to check the impact as the number of direct reclaimers increase. It has
four types of worker.
- One "anon latency" worker creates small mappings with mmap() and
times how long it takes to fault the mapping reading it 4K at a time
- X file writers which is fio randomly writing X files where the total
size of the files add up to the allowed dirty_ratio. fio is allowed
to run for a warmup period to allow some file-backed pages to
accumulate. The duration of the warmup is based on the best-case
linear write speed of the storage.
- Y file readers which is fio randomly reading small files
- Z anon memory hogs which continually map (100-dirty_ratio)% of memory
- Total estimated WSS = (100+dirty_ration) percentage of memory
X+Y+Z+1 == NR_WORKERS varying from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4
The intent is to maximise the total WSS with a mix of file and anon
memory where some anonymous memory must be swapped and there is a high
likelihood of dirty/writeback pages reaching the end of the LRU.
The test can be configured to have no background readers to stress
dirty/writeback pages. The results below are based on having zero
readers.
The short summary of the results is that the series works and stalls
until some event occurs but the timeouts may need adjustment.
The test results are not broken down by patch as the series should be
treated as one block that replaces a broken throttling mechanism with a
working one.
Finally, three machines were tested but I'm reporting the worst set of
results. The other two machines had much better latencies for example.
First the results of the "anon latency" latency

For most thread counts, the time to mmap() is unfortunately increased.
In earlier versions of the series, this was lower but a large number of
throttling events were reaching their timeout increasing the amount of
inefficient scanning of the LRU. There is no prioritisation of reclaim
tasks making progress based on each tasks rate of page allocation versus
progress of reclaim. The variance is also impacted for high worker
counts but in all cases, the differences in latency are not
statistically significant due to very large maximum outliers. Max-90
shows that 90% of the stalls are comparable but the Max results show the
massive outliers which are increased to to stalling.
It is expected that this will be very machine dependant. Due to the
test design, reclaim is difficult so allocations stall and there are
variances depending on whether THPs can be allocated or not. The amount
of memory will affect exactly how bad the corner cases are and how often
they trigger. The warmup period calculation is not ideal as it's based
on linear writes where as fio is randomly writing multiple files from
multiple tasks so the start state of the test is variable. For example,
these are the latencies on a single-socket machine that had more memory

Kswapd scanned less pages but the detailed pattern is different. The
vanilla kernel scans slowly over time where as the patches exhibits
burst patterns of scan activity. Direct reclaim scanning is reduced by
52% due to stalling.
The pattern for stealing pages is also slightly different. Both kernels
exhibit spikes but the vanilla kernel when reclaiming shows pages being
reclaimed over a period of time where as the patches tend to reclaim in
spikes. The difference is that vanilla is not throttling and instead
scanning constantly finding some pages over time where as the patched
kernel throttles and reclaims in spikes.

The fast majority of wait_iff_congested calls do not stall at all. What
is likely happening is that cond_resched() reschedules the task for a
short period when the BDI is not registering congestion (which it never
will in this test setup).

778 writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=104000
congestion_wait if called always exceeds the timeout as there is no
trigger to wake it up.
Bottom line: Vanilla will throttle but it's not effective.

The majority of events did not stall or stalled for a short period.
Roughly 16% of stalls reached the timeout before expiry. For direct

93246 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_NOPROGRESS
96934 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_WRITEBACK
The most common reason to stall was due to excessive pages tagged for
immediate reclaim at the tail of the LRU followed by a failure to make
forward. A relatively small number were due to too many pages isolated
from the LRU by parallel threads

The full timeout is often hit but a large number also do not stall at
all. The remainder slept a little allowing other reclaim tasks to make
progress.
While this timeout could be further increased, it could also negatively
impact worst-case behaviour when there is no prioritisation of what task

The majority hit the timeout in direct reclaim context although a
sizable number did not stall at all. This is very different to kswapd
where only a tiny percentage of stalls due to writeback reached the
timeout.
Bottom line, the throttling appears to work and the wakeup events may
limit worst case stalls. There might be some grounds for adjusting
timeouts but it's likely futile as the worst-case scenarios depend on
the workload, memory size and the speed of the storage. A better
approach to improve the series further would be to prioritise tasks
based on their rate of allocation with the caveat that it may be very
expensive to track.
This patch (of 5):
Page reclaim throttles on wait_iff_congested under the following
conditions:
- kswapd is encountering pages under writeback and marked for immediate
reclaim implying that pages are cycling through the LRU faster than
pages can be cleaned.
- Direct reclaim will stall if all dirty pages are backed by congested
inodes.
wait_iff_congested is almost completely broken with few exceptions.
This patch adds a new node-based workqueue and tracks the number of
throttled tasks and pages written back since throttling started. If
enough pages belonging to the node are written back then the throttled
tasks will wake early. If not, the throttled tasks sleeps until the
timeout expires.

Today, we assert that the ioctls the kernel reports as supported for a
registration match a precomputed list. We decide which ioctls are
supported by examining the memory type. Then, in several locations we
"fix up" this list by adding or removing things this initial decision
got wrong.
What ioctls the kernel reports is actually a function of several things:
- The memory type
- Kernel feature support (e.g., no writeprotect on aarch64)
- The registration type (e.g., CONTINUE only supported for MINOR mode)
So, we can't fully compute this at the start, in set_test_type. It
varies per test, depending on what registration mode(s) those tests use.
Instead, introduce a new function which computes the correct list. This
centralizes the add/remove of ioctls depending on these function inputs
in one place, so we don't have to repeat ourselves in various tests.
Not only is the resulting code a bit shorter, but it fixes a real bug in
the existing code: previously, we would incorrectly require the
writeprotect ioctl to be present on aarch64, where it isn't actually
supported.

Before any tests are run, in set_test_type, we decide what feature(s) we
are going to be testing, based upon our command line arguments.
However, the supported features are not just a function of the memory
type being used, so this is broken.
For instance, consider writeprotect support. It is "normally" supported
for anonymous memory, but furthermore it requires that the kernel has
CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP. So, it is *not* supported at all on
aarch64, for example.
So, this fixes this by querying the kernel for the set of features it
supports in set_test_type, by opening a userfaultfd and issuing a
UFFDIO_API ioctl. Based upon the reported features, we toggle what
tests are enabled.

This patch (of 3):
Two arguments for doing this:
First, and maybe most importantly, the resulting code is significantly
shorter / simpler.
Then, we avoid using GNU libc extensions. Why does this matter? It
makes testing userfaultfd with the selftest easier e.g. on distros
which use something other than glibc (e.g., Alpine, which uses musl);
basically, it makes the test more portable.

Now the size of CMA area for gigantic hugepages runtime allocation is
balanced for all online nodes, but we also want to specify the size of
CMA per-node, or only one node in some cases, which are similar with
patch [1].
For example, on some multi-nodes systems, each node's memory can be
different, allocating the same size of CMA for each node is not suitable
for the low-memory nodes. Meanwhile some workloads like DPDK mentioned
by Zhenguo in patch [1] only need hugepages in one node.
On the other hand, we have some machines with multiple types of memory,
like DRAM and PMEM (persistent memory). On this system, we may want to
specify all the hugepages only on DRAM node, or specify the proportion
of DRAM node and PMEM node, to tuning the performance of the workloads.
Thus this patch adds node format for 'hugetlb_cma' parameter to support
specifying the size of CMA per-node. An example is as follows:
hugetlb_cma=0:5G,2:5G
which means allocating 5G size of CMA area on node 0 and node 2
respectively. And the users should use the node specific sysfs file to
allocate the gigantic hugepages if specified the CMA size on that node.

Support mremap() for hugepage backed vma segment by simply repositioning
page table entries. The page table entries are repositioned to the new
virtual address on mremap().
Hugetlb mremap() support is of course generic; my motivating use case is
a library (hugepage_text), which reloads the ELF text of executables in
hugepages. This significantly increases the execution performance of
said executables.
Restrict the mremap operation on hugepages to up to the size of the
original mapping as the underlying hugetlb reservation is not yet
capable of handling remapping to a larger size.
During the mremap() operation we detect pmd_share'd mappings and we
unshare those during the mremap(). On access and fault the sharing is
established again.

Demote page functionality will split a huge page into a number of huge
pages of a smaller size. For example, on x86 a 1GB huge page can be
demoted into 512 2M huge pages. Demotion is done 'in place' by simply
splitting the huge page.
Added '*_for_demote' wrappers for remove_hugetlb_page,
destroy_compound_hugetlb_page and prep_compound_gigantic_page for use by
demote code.

The routines remove_hugetlb_page and destroy_compound_gigantic_page will
remove a gigantic page and make the set of base pages ready to be
returned to a lower level allocator. In the process of doing this, they
make all base pages reference counted.
The routine prep_compound_gigantic_page creates a gigantic page from a
set of base pages. It assumes that all these base pages are reference
counted.
During demotion, a gigantic page will be split into huge pages of a
smaller size. This logically involves use of the routines,
remove_hugetlb_page, and destroy_compound_gigantic_page followed by
prep_compound*_page for each smaller huge page.
When pages are reference counted (ref count >= 0), additional
speculative ref counts could be taken as described in previous commits
[1] and [2]. This could result in errors while demoting a huge page.
Quite a bit of code would need to be created to handle all possible
issues.
Instead of dealing with the possibility of speculative ref counts, avoid
the possibility by keeping ref counts at zero during the demote process.
Add a boolean 'demote' to the routines remove_hugetlb_page,
destroy_compound_gigantic_page and prep_compound_gigantic_page. If the
boolean is set, the remove and destroy routines will not reference count
pages and the prep routine will not expect reference counted pages.
'*_for_demote' wrappers of the routines will be added in a subsequent
patch where this functionality is used.

When huge page demotion is fully implemented, gigantic pages can be
demoted to a smaller huge page size. For example, on x86 a 1G page can
be demoted to 512 2M pages. However, gigantic pages can potentially be
allocated from CMA. If a gigantic page which was allocated from CMA is
demoted, the corresponding demoted pages needs to be returned to CMA.
Use the new interface cma_pages_valid() to determine if a non-gigantic
hugetlb page should be freed to CMA. Also, clear mapping field of these
pages as expected by cma_release.
This also requires a change to CMA region creation for gigantic pages.
CMA uses a per-region bit map to track allocations. When setting up the
region, you specify how many pages each bit represents. Currently, only
gigantic pages are allocated/freed from CMA so the region is set up such
that one bit represents a gigantic page size allocation.
With demote, a gigantic page (allocation) could be split into smaller
size pages. And, these smaller size pages will be freed to CMA. So,
since the per-region bit map needs to be set up to represent the
smallest allocation/free size, it now needs to be set to the smallest
huge page size which can be freed to CMA.
Unfortunately, we set up the CMA region for huge pages before we set up
huge pages sizes (hstates). So, technically we do not know the smallest
huge page size as this can change via command line options and
architecture specific code. Therefore, at region setup time we use
HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER as the smallest possible huge page size that can be
given back to CMA. It is possible that this value is sub-optimal for
some architectures/config options. If needed, this can be addressed in
follow on work.

In order to keep the same amount of DEBUG information, a pr_debug() call
was added to cma_pages_valid(). In the case where the page passed to
cma_release is not in cma region, the debug message will be printed from

Patch series "hugetlb: add demote/split page functionality", v4.
The concurrent use of multiple hugetlb page sizes on a single system is
becoming more common. One of the reasons is better TLB support for
gigantic page sizes on x86 hardware. In addition, hugetlb pages are
being used to back VMs in hosting environments.
When using hugetlb pages to back VMs, it is often desirable to
preallocate hugetlb pools. This avoids the delay and uncertainty of
allocating hugetlb pages at VM startup. In addition, preallocating huge
pages minimizes the issue of memory fragmentation that increases the
longer the system is up and running.
In such environments, a combination of larger and smaller hugetlb pages
are preallocated in anticipation of backing VMs of various sizes. Over
time, the preallocated pool of smaller hugetlb pages may become depleted
while larger hugetlb pages still remain. In such situations, it is
desirable to convert larger hugetlb pages to smaller hugetlb pages.
Converting larger to smaller hugetlb pages can be accomplished today by
first freeing the larger page to the buddy allocator and then allocating
the smaller pages. For example, to convert 50 GB pages on x86:
gb_pages=`cat .../hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages`
m2_pages=`cat .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages`
echo $(($gb_pages - 50)) > .../hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
echo $(($m2_pages + 25600)) > .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
On an idle system this operation is fairly reliable and results are as
expected. The number of 2MB pages is increased as expected and the time
of the operation is a second or two.
However, when there is activity on the system the following issues
arise:
1) This process can take quite some time, especially if allocation of
the smaller pages is not immediate and requires migration/compaction.
2) There is no guarantee that the total size of smaller pages allocated
will match the size of the larger page which was freed. This is
because the area freed by the larger page could quickly be
fragmented.
In a test environment with a load that continually fills the page cache
with clean pages, results such as the following can be observed:
Unexpected number of 2MB pages allocated: Expected 25600, have 19944
real 0m42.092s
user 0m0.008s
sys 0m41.467s
To address these issues, introduce the concept of hugetlb page demotion.
Demotion provides a means of 'in place' splitting of a hugetlb page to
pages of a smaller size. This avoids freeing pages to buddy and then
trying to allocate from buddy.
Page demotion is controlled via sysfs files that reside in the per-hugetlb
page size and per node directories.
- demote_size
Target page size for demotion, a smaller huge page size. File
can be written to chose a smaller huge page size if multiple are
available.
- demote
Writable number of hugetlb pages to be demoted
To demote 50 GB huge pages, one would:
cat .../hugepages-1048576kB/free_hugepages /* optional, verify free pages */
cat .../hugepages-1048576kB/demote_size /* optional, verify target size */
echo 50 > .../hugepages-1048576kB/demote
Only hugetlb pages which are free at the time of the request can be
demoted. Demotion does not add to the complexity of surplus pages and
honors reserved huge pages. Therefore, when a value is written to the
sysfs demote file, that value is only the maximum number of pages which
will be demoted. It is possible fewer will actually be demoted. The
recently introduced per-hstate mutex is used to synchronize demote
operations with other operations that modify hugetlb pools.
Real world use cases
--------------------
The above scenario describes a real world use case where hugetlb pages
are used to back VMs on x86. Both issues of long allocation times and
not necessarily getting the expected number of smaller huge pages after
a free and allocate cycle have been experienced. The occurrence of
these issues is dependent on other activity within the host and can not
be predicted.
This patch (of 5):
Two new sysfs files are added to demote hugtlb pages. These files are
both per-hugetlb page size and per node. Files are:
demote_size - The size in Kb that pages are demoted to. (read-write)
demote - The number of huge pages to demote. (write-only)
By default, demote_size is the next smallest huge page size. Valid huge
page sizes less than huge page size may be written to this file. When
huge pages are demoted, they are demoted to this size.
Writing a value to demote will result in an attempt to demote that
number of hugetlb pages to an appropriate number of demote_size pages.
NOTE: Demote interfaces are only provided for huge page sizes if there
is a smaller target demote huge page size. For example, on x86 1GB huge
pages will have demote interfaces. 2MB huge pages will not have demote
interfaces.
This patch does not provide full demote functionality. It only provides
the sysfs interfaces.
It also provides documentation for the new interfaces.

The current behavior of memory failure is to truncate the page cache
regardless of dirty or clean. If the page is dirty the later access
will get the obsolete data from disk without any notification to the
users. This may cause silent data loss. It is even worse for shmem
since shmem is in-memory filesystem, truncating page cache means
discarding data blocks. The later read would return all zero.
The right approach is to keep the corrupted page in page cache, any
later access would return error for syscalls or SIGBUS for page fault,
until the file is truncated, hole punched or removed. The regular
storage backed filesystems would be more complicated so this patch is
focused on shmem. This also unblock the support for soft offlining
shmem THP.

Memory failure will report failure if the page still has extra pinned
refcount other than from hwpoison after the handler is done. Actually
the check is not necessary for all handlers, so move the check into
specific handlers. This would make the following keeping shmem page in
page cache patch easier.
There may be expected extra pin for some cases, for example, when the
page is dirty and in swapcache.
