A non-default huge page size can be encoded in the flags argument of the mmap system call. The definitions for these encodings are in arch specific header files. However, all architectures use the same values. Consolidate all the definitions in the primary user header file (uapi/linux/mman.h). Include definitions for all known huge page sizes. Use the generic encoding definitions in hugetlb_encode.h as the basis for these definitions. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1501527386-10736-3-git-send-email-mike.kravetz@oracle.com Signed-off-by:

Patch series "Consolidate system call hugetlb page size encodings". These patches are the result of discussions in https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/8/548. The following changes are made in the patch set: 1) Put all the log2 encoded huge page size definitions in a common header file. The idea is have a set of definitions that can be use as the basis for system call specific definitions such as MAP_HUGE_* and SHM_HUGE_*. 2) Remove MAP_HUGE_* definitions in arch specific files. All these definitions are the same. Consolidate all definitions in the primary user header file (uapi/linux/mman.h). 3) Remove SHM_HUGE_* definitions intended for user space from kernel header file, and add to user (uapi/linux/shm.h) header file. Add definitions for all known huge page size encodings as in mmap. This patch (of 3): If hugetlb pages are requested in mmap or shmget system calls, a huge page size other than default can be requested. This is accomplished by encoding the log2 of the huge page size in the upper bits of the flag argument. asm-generic and arch specific headers all define the same values for these encodings. Put common definitions in a single header file. The primary uapi header files for mmap and shm will use these definitions as a basis for definitions specific to those system calls.

Patch series "userfaultfd: enable zeropage support for shmem". These patches enable support for UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE for shared memory. The first two patches are not strictly related to userfaultfd, they are just minor refactoring to reduce amount of code duplication. This patch (of 7): Currently we update inode and shmem_inode_info before verifying that used_blocks will not exceed max_blocks. In case it will, we undo the update. Let's switch the order and move the verification of the blocks count before the inode and shmem_inode_info update.

When swapping out THP (Transparent Huge Page), instead of swapping out the THP as a whole, sometimes we have to fallback to split the THP into normal pages before swapping, because no free swap clusters are available, or cgroup limit is exceeded, etc. To count the number of the fallback, a new VM event THP_SWPOUT_FALLBACK is added, and counted when we fallback to split the THP.

In this patch, splitting transparent huge page (THP) during swapping out is delayed from after adding the THP into the swap cache to after swapping out finishes. After the patch, more operations for the anonymous THP reclaiming, such as writing the THP to the swap device, removing the THP from the swap cache could be batched. So that the performance of anonymous THP swapping out could be improved. This is the second step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. 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.

For a THP (Transparent Huge Page), tail_page->mem_cgroup is NULL. So to check whether the page is charged already, we need to check the head page.

PTE mapped THP (Transparent Huge Page) will be ignored when moving memory cgroup charge. But for THP which is in the swap cache, the memory cgroup charge for the swap of a tail-page may be moved in current implementation. That isn't correct, because the swap charge for all sub-pages of a THP should be moved together. Following the processing of the PTE mapped THP, the mem cgroup charge moving for the swap entry for a tail-page of a THP is ignored too.

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.

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. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170724051840.2309-2-ying.huang@intel.com Signed-off-by:

Commit fa06235b ("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). Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170727130428.28856-2-guro@fb.com Signed-off-by:

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 fa06235b ("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 e64855c6 ("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.
