mm: workingset: age nonresident information alongside anonymous pages

2020-06-26T07:27:37+00:00

Patch series "fix for "mm: balance LRU lists based on relative
thrashing" patchset"

This patchset fixes some problems of the patchset, "mm: balance LRU
lists based on relative thrashing", which is now merged on the mainline.

Patch "mm: workingset: let cache workingset challenge anon fix" is the
result of discussion with Johannes.  See following link.

  http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200520232525.798933-6-hannes@cmpxchg.org

And, the other two are minor things which are found when I try to rebase
my patchset.

This patch (of 3):

After ("mm: workingset: let cache workingset challenge anon fix"), we
compare refault distances to active_file + anon.  But age of the
non-resident information is only driven by the file LRU.  As a result,
we may overestimate the recency of any incoming refaults and activate
them too eagerly, causing unnecessary LRU churn in certain situations.

Make anon aging drive nonresident age as well to address that.

mm: add comments on pglist_data zones

2020-06-11T02:14:18+00:00

While making other modifications it was easy to confuse the two struct
members node_zones and node_zonelists.  For those already familiar with
the code, this might seem to be a silly patch, but it's quite helpful to
disambiguate the similar-sounding fields

While here, add a small comment on why nr_zones isn't simply MAX_NR_ZONES

mm: base LRU balancing on an explicit cost model

2020-06-04T03:09:48+00:00

Currently, scan pressure between the anon and file LRU lists is balanced
based on a mixture of reclaim efficiency and a somewhat vague notion of
"value" of having certain pages in memory over others.  That concept of
value is problematic, because it has caused us to count any event that
remotely makes one LRU list more or less preferrable for reclaim, even
when these events are not directly comparable and impose very different
costs on the system.  One example is referenced file pages that we still
deactivate and referenced anonymous pages that we actually rotate back to
the head of the list.

There is also conceptual overlap with the LRU algorithm itself.  By
rotating recently used pages instead of reclaiming them, the algorithm
already biases the applied scan pressure based on page value.  Thus, when
rebalancing scan pressure due to rotations, we should think of reclaim
cost, and leave assessing the page value to the LRU algorithm.

Lastly, considering both value-increasing as well as value-decreasing
events can sometimes cause the same type of event to be counted twice,
i.e.  how rotating a page increases the LRU value, while reclaiming it
succesfully decreases the value.  In itself this will balance out fine,
but it quietly skews the impact of events that are only recorded once.

The abstract metric of "value", the murky relationship with the LRU
algorithm, and accounting both negative and positive events make the
current pressure balancing model hard to reason about and modify.

This patch switches to a balancing model of accounting the concrete,
actually observed cost of reclaiming one LRU over another.  For now, that
cost includes pages that are scanned but rotated back to the list head.
Subsequent patches will add consideration for IO caused by refaulting of
recently evicted pages.

Replace struct zone_reclaim_stat with two cost counters in the lruvec, and
make everything that affects cost go through a new lru_note_cost()
function.

mm: initialize deferred pages with interrupts enabled

2020-06-04T03:09:45+00:00

Initializing struct pages is a long task and keeping interrupts disabled
for the duration of this operation introduces a number of problems.

1. jiffies are not updated for long period of time, and thus incorrect time
   is reported. See proposed solution and discussion here:
   lkml/20200311123848.118638-1-shile.zhang@linux.alibaba.com
2. It prevents farther improving deferred page initialization by allowing
   intra-node multi-threading.

We are keeping interrupts disabled to solve a rather theoretical problem
that was never observed in real world (See 3a2d7fa8a3d5).

Let's keep interrupts enabled. In case we ever encounter a scenario where
an interrupt thread wants to allocate large amount of memory this early in
boot we can deal with that by growing zone (see deferred_grow_zone()) by
the needed amount before starting deferred_init_memmap() threads.

Before:
[    1.232459] node 0 initialised, 12058412 pages in 1ms

After:
[    1.632580] node 0 initialised, 12051227 pages in 436ms

mm/page_alloc: integrate classzone_idx and high_zoneidx

2020-06-04T03:09:44+00:00

classzone_idx is just different name for high_zoneidx now.  So, integrate
them and add some comment to struct alloc_context in order to reduce
future confusion about the meaning of this variable.

The accessor, ac_classzone_idx() is also removed since it isn't needed
after integration.

In addition to integration, this patch also renames high_zoneidx to
highest_zoneidx since it represents more precise meaning.

mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP option

2020-06-04T03:09:43+00:00

CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is used to differentiate initialization of
nodes and zones structures between the systems that have region to node
mapping in memblock and those that don't.

Currently all the NUMA architectures enable this option and for the
non-NUMA systems we can presume that all the memory belongs to node 0 and
therefore the compile time configuration option is not required.

The remaining few architectures that use DISCONTIGMEM without NUMA are
easily updated to use memblock_add_node() instead of memblock_add() and
thus have proper correspondence of memblock regions to NUMA nodes.

Still, free_area_init_node() must have a backward compatible version
because its semantics with and without CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is
different.  Once all the architectures will use the new semantics, the
entire compatibility layer can be dropped.

To avoid addition of extra run time memory to store node id for
architectures that keep memblock but have only a single node, the node id
field of the memblock_region is guarded by CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and
the corresponding accessors presume that in those cases it is always 0.
