Andres observed that his database workload is struggling with the
transaction journal creating pressure on frequently read pages.

Access patterns like transaction journals frequently write the same
pages over and over, but in the majority of cases those pages are never
read back.  There are no caching benefits to be had for those pages, so
activating them and having them put pressure on pages that do benefit
from caching is a bad choice.

Leave page activations to read accesses and don't promote pages based on
writes alone.

It could be said that partially written pages do contain cache-worthy
data, because even if *userspace* does not access the unwritten part,
the kernel still has to read it from the filesystem for correctness.
However, a counter argument is that these pages enjoy at least *some*
protection over other inactive file pages through the writeback cache,
in the sense that dirty pages are written back with a delay and cache
reclaim leaves them alone until they have been written back to disk.
Should that turn out to be insufficient and we see increased read IO
from partial writes under memory pressure, we can always go back and
update grab_cache_page_write_begin() to take (pos, len) so that it can
tell partial writes from pages that don't need partial reads.  But for
now, keep it simple.

This is a follow-up to

  http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg101739.html



where Andres reported his database workingset being pushed out by the
minimum size enforcement of the inactive file list - currently 50% of
cache - as well as repeatedly written file pages that are never actually
read.

Two changes fell out of the discussions.  The first change observes that
pages that are only ever written don't benefit from caching beyond what
the writeback cache does for partial page writes, and so we shouldn't
promote them to the active file list where they compete with pages whose
cached data is actually accessed repeatedly.  This change comes in two
patches - one for in-cache write accesses and one for refaults triggered
by writes, neither of which should promote a cache page.

Second, with the refault detection we don't need to set 50% of the cache
aside for used-once cache anymore since we can detect frequently used
pages even when they are evicted between accesses.  We can allow the
active list to be bigger and thus protect a bigger workingset that isn't
challenged by streamers.  Depending on the access patterns, this can
increase major faults during workingset transitions for better
performance during stable phases.

This patch (of 3):

When rewriting a page, the data in that page is replaced with new data.
This means that evicting something else from the active file list, in
order to cache data that will be replaced by something else, is likely
to be a waste of memory.

It is better to save the active list for frequently read pages, because
reads actually use the data that is in the page.

This patch ignores partial writes, because it is unclear whether the
complexity of identifying those is worth any potential performance gain
obtained from better caching pages that see repeated partial writes at
large enough intervals to not get caught by the use-twice promotion code
used for the inactive file list.

The page allocator fast path uses either the requested nodemask or
cpuset_current_mems_allowed if cpusets are enabled.  If the allocation
context allows watermarks to be ignored then it can also ignore memory
policies.  However, on entering the allocator slowpath the nodemask may
still be cpuset_current_mems_allowed and the policies are enforced.
This patch resets the nodemask appropriately before entering the
slowpath.

Bad pages should be rare so the code handling them doesn't need to be
inline for performance reasons.  Put it to separate function which
returns void.  This also assumes that the initial page_expected_state()
result will match the result of the thorough check, i.e.  the page
doesn't become "good" in the meanwhile.  This matches the same
expectations already in place in free_pages_check().

The new free_pcp_prepare() function shares a lot of code with
free_pages_prepare(), which makes this a maintenance risk when some
future patch modifies only one of them.  We should be able to achieve
the same effect (skipping free_pages_check() from !DEBUG_VM configs) by
adding a parameter to free_pages_prepare() and making it inline, so the
checks (and the order != 0 parts) are eliminated from the call from
free_pcp_prepare().

!DEBUG_VM: bloat-o-meter reports no difference, as my gcc was already
inlining free_pages_prepare() and the elimination seems to work as
expected

Every page allocated checks a number of page fields for validity.  This
catches corruption bugs of pages that are already freed but it is
expensive.  This patch weakens the debugging check by checking PCP pages
only when the PCP lists are being refilled.  All compound pages are
checked.  This potentially avoids debugging checks entirely if the PCP
lists are never emptied and refilled so some corruption issues may be
missed.  Full checking requires DEBUG_VM.

With the two deferred debugging patches applied, the impact to a page
allocator microbenchmark is

Note that the free paths for large numbers of pages is impacted as the
debugging cost gets shifted into that path when the page data is no
longer necessarily cache-hot.

Every page free checks a number of page fields for validity.  This
catches premature frees and corruptions but it is also expensive.  This
patch weakens the debugging check by checking PCP pages at the time they
are drained from the PCP list.  This will trigger the bug but the site
that freed the corrupt page will be lost.  To get the full context, a
kernel rebuild with DEBUG_VM is necessary.

An important function for cpusets is cpuset_node_allowed(), which
optimizes on the fact if there's a single root CPU set, it must be
trivially allowed.  But the check "nr_cpusets() <= 1" doesn't use the
cpusets_enabled_key static key the right way where static keys eliminate
branching overhead with jump labels.

This patch converts it so that static key is used properly.  It's also
switched to the new static key API and the checking functions are
converted to return bool instead of int.  We also provide a new variant
__cpuset_zone_allowed() which expects that the static key check was
already done and they key was enabled.  This is needed for
get_page_from_freelist() where we want to also avoid the relatively
slower check when ALLOC_CPUSET is not set in alloc_flags.

The impact on the page allocator microbenchmark is less than expected
but the cleanup in itself is worthwhile.

Check without side-effects should be easier to maintain.  It also
removes the duplicated cpupid and flags reset done in !DEBUG_VM variant
of both free_pcp_prepare() and then bulkfree_pcp_prepare().  Finally, it
enables the next patch.

It shouldn't result in new branches, thanks to inlining of the check.

This is also slightly faster because cpupid information is not set on
tail pages so we can avoid resets there.

Every page allocated or freed is checked for sanity to avoid corruptions
that are difficult to detect later.  A bad page could be due to a number
of fields.  Instead of using multiple branches, this patch combines
multiple fields into a single branch.  A detailed check is only
necessary if that check fails.

Again, the benefit is marginal but avoiding excessive branches is
important.  Ideally the paths would not have to check these conditions
at all but regrettably abandoning the tests would make use-after-free
bugs much harder to detect.

Watermarks have to be checked on every allocation including the number
of pages being allocated and whether reserves can be accessed.  The
reserves only matter if memory is limited and the free_pages adjustment
only applies to high-order pages.  This patch adds a shortcut for
order-0 pages that avoids numerous calculations if there is plenty of
free memory yielding the following performance difference in a page

The fair zone allocation policy is not without cost but it can be
reduced slightly.  This patch removes an unnecessary local variable,
checks the likely conditions of the fair zone policy first, uses a bool
instead of a flags check and falls through when a remote node is
encountered instead of doing a full restart.  The benefit is marginal
but it's there

The benefit is marginal at best but one of the most important benefits,
avoiding a second search when falling back to another node is not
triggered by this particular test so the benefit for some corner cases
is understated.

Pageblocks have an associated bitmap to store migrate types and whether
the pageblock should be skipped during compaction.  The bitmap may be
associated with a memory section or a zone but the zone is looked up
unconditionally.  The compiler should optimise this away automatically
so this is a cosmetic patch only in many cases.

The page allocator iterates through a zonelist for zones that match the
addressing limitations and nodemask of the caller but many allocations
will not be restricted.  Despite this, there is always functional call
overhead which builds up.

This patch inlines the optimistic basic case and only calls the iterator
function for the complex case.  A hindrance was the fact that
cpuset_current_mems_allowed is used in the fastpath as the allowed
nodemask even though all nodes are allowed on most systems.  The patch
handles this by only considering cpuset_current_mems_allowed if a cpuset
exists.  As well as being faster in the fast-path, this removes some
junk in the slowpath.

zone_statistics has more branches than it really needs to take an
unlikely GFP flag into account.  Reduce the number and annotate the
unlikely flag.

The PageAnon check always checks for compound_head but this is a
relatively expensive check if the caller already knows the page is a
head page.  This patch creates a helper and uses it in the page free
path which only operates on head pages.

With this patch and "Only check PageCompound for high-order pages", the
performance difference on a page allocator microbenchmark is;

There is a sizable boost to the free allocator performance.  While there
is an apparent boost on the allocation side, it's likely a co-incidence
or due to the patches slightly reducing cache footprint.
