mm: workingset: age nonresident information alongside anonymous pages
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: vmscan: limit the range of LRU type balancing
When LRU cost only shows up on one list, we abruptly stop scanning that list altogether. That's an extreme reaction: by the time the other list starts thrashing and the pendulum swings back, we may have no recent age information on the first list anymore, and we could have significant latencies until the scanner has caught up. Soften this change in the feedback system by ensuring that no list receives less than a third of overall pressure, and only distribute the other 66% according to LRU cost. This ensures that we maintain a minimum rate of aging on the entire workingset while it's being pressured, while still allowing a generous rate of convergence when the relative sizes of the lists need to adjust.

mm: vmscan: reclaim writepage is IO cost
The VM tries to balance reclaim pressure between anon and file so as to reduce the amount of IO incurred due to the memory shortage. It already counts refaults and swapins, but in addition it should also count writepage calls during reclaim. For swap, this is obvious: it's IO that wouldn't have occurred if the anonymous memory hadn't been under memory pressure. From a relative balancing point of view this makes sense as well: even if anon is cold and reclaimable, a cache that isn't thrashing may have equally cold pages that don't require IO to reclaim. For file writeback, it's trickier: some of the reclaim writepage IO would have likely occurred anyway due to dirty expiration. But not all of it - premature writeback reduces batching and generates additional writes. Since the flushers are already woken up by the time the VM starts writing cache pages one by one, let's assume that we'e likely causing writes that wouldn't have happened without memory pressure. In addition, the per-page cost of IO would have probably been much cheaper if written in larger batches from the flusher thread rather than the single-page-writes from kswapd. For our purposes - getting the trend right to accelerate convergence on a stable state that doesn't require paging at all - this is sufficiently accurate. If we later wanted to optimize for sustained thrashing, we can still refine the measurements. Count all writepage calls from kswapd as IO cost toward the LRU that the page belongs to. Why do this dynamically? Don't we know in advance that anon pages require IO to reclaim, and so could build in a static bias? First, scanning is not the same as reclaiming. If all the anon pages are referenced, we may not swap for a while just because we're scanning the anon list. During this time, however, it's important that we age anonymous memory and the page cache at the same rate so that their hot-cold gradients are comparable. Everything else being equal, we still want to reclaim the coldest memory overall. Second, we keep copies in swap unless the page changes. If there is swap-backed data that's mostly read (tmpfs file) and has been swapped out before, we can reclaim it without incurring additional IO.

mm: vmscan: determine anon/file pressure balance at the reclaim root
We split the LRU lists into anon and file, and we rebalance the scan pressure between them when one of them begins thrashing: if the file cache experiences workingset refaults, we increase the pressure on anonymous pages; if the workload is stalled on swapins, we increase the pressure on the file cache instead. With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU order among the pages of all involved cgroups, LRU pressure balancing is done on an individual cgroup LRU level. As a result, when one cgroup is thrashing on the filesystem cache while a sibling may have cold anonymous pages, pressure doesn't get equalized between them. This patch moves LRU balancing decision to the root of reclaim - the same level where the LRU order is established. It does this by tracking LRU cost recursively, so that every level of the cgroup tree knows the aggregate LRU cost of all memory within its domain. When the page scanner calculates the scan balance for any given individual cgroup's LRU list, it uses the values from the ancestor cgroup that initiated the reclaim cycle. If one sibling is then thrashing on the cache, it will tip the pressure balance inside its ancestors, and the next hierarchical reclaim iteration will go more after the anon pages in the tree.

mm: balance LRU lists based on relative thrashing
Since the LRUs were split into anon and file lists, the VM has been
balancing between page cache and anonymous pages based on per-list ratios
of scanned vs. rotated pages. In most cases that tips page reclaim
towards the list that is easier to reclaim and has the fewest actively
used pages, but there are a few problems with it:
1. Refaults and LRU rotations are weighted the same way, even though
one costs IO and the other costs a bit of CPU.
2. The less we scan an LRU list based on already observed rotations,
the more we increase the sampling interval for new references, and
rotations become even more likely on that list. This can enter a
death spiral in which we stop looking at one list completely until
the other one is all but annihilated by page reclaim.

mm: only count actual rotations as LRU reclaim cost
When shrinking the active file list we rotate referenced pages only when they're in an executable mapping. The others get deactivated. When it comes to balancing scan pressure, though, we count all referenced pages as rotated, even the deactivated ones. Yet they do not carry the same cost to the system: the deactivated page *might* refault later on, but the deactivation is tangible progress toward freeing pages; rotations on the other hand cost time and effort without getting any closer to freeing memory. Don't treat both events as equal. The following patch will hook up LRU balancing to cache and anon refaults, which are a much more concrete cost signal for reclaiming one list over the other. Thus, remove the maybe-IO cost bias from page references, and only note the CPU cost for actual rotations that prevent the pages from getting reclaimed.

mm: base LRU balancing on an explicit cost model
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: vmscan: drop unnecessary div0 avoidance rounding in get_scan_count()
When we calculate the relative scan pressure between the anon and file LRU
lists, we have to assume that reclaim_stat can contain zeroes. To avoid
div0 crashes, we add 1 to all denominators like so:
anon_prio = swappiness;
file_prio = 200 - anon_prio;
[...]
/*
* The amount of pressure on anon vs file pages is inversely
* proportional to the fraction of recently scanned pages on
* each list that were recently referenced and in active use.
*/
ap = anon_prio * (reclaim_stat->recent_scanned[0] + 1);
ap /= reclaim_stat->recent_rotated[0] + 1;
fp = file_prio * (reclaim_stat->recent_scanned[1] + 1);
fp /= reclaim_stat->recent_rotated[1] + 1;
spin_unlock_irq(&pgdat->lru_lock);
fraction[0] = ap;
fraction[1] = fp;
denominator = ap + fp + 1;
While reclaim_stat can contain 0, it's not actually possible for ap + fp
to be 0. One of anon_prio or file_prio could be zero, but they must still
add up to 200. And the reclaim_stat fraction, due to the +1 in there, is
always at least 1. So if one of the two numerators is 0, the other one
can't be. ap + fp is always at least 1. Drop the + 1.

mm: allow swappiness that prefers reclaiming anon over the file workingset
With the advent of fast random IO devices (SSDs, PMEM) and in-memory swap devices such as zswap, it's possible for swap to be much faster than filesystems, and for swapping to be preferable over thrashing filesystem caches. Allow setting swappiness - which defines the rough relative IO cost of cache misses between page cache and swap-backed pages - to reflect such situations by making the swap-preferred range configurable.

mm/writeback: replace PF_LESS_THROTTLE with PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE
PF_LESS_THROTTLE exists for loop-back nfsd (and a similar need in the loop block driver and callers of prctl(PR_SET_IO_FLUSHER)), where a daemon needs to write to one bdi (the final bdi) in order to free up writes queued to another bdi (the client bdi). The daemon sets PF_LESS_THROTTLE and gets a larger allowance of dirty pages, so that it can still dirty pages after other processses have been throttled. The purpose of this is to avoid deadlock that happen when the PF_LESS_THROTTLE process must write for any dirty pages to be freed, but it is being thottled and cannot write. This approach was designed when all threads were blocked equally, independently on which device they were writing to, or how fast it was. Since that time the writeback algorithm has changed substantially with different threads getting different allowances based on non-trivial heuristics. This means the simple "add 25%" heuristic is no longer reliable. The important issue is not that the daemon needs a *larger* dirty page allowance, but that it needs a *private* dirty page allowance, so that dirty pages for the "client" bdi that it is helping to clear (the bdi for an NFS filesystem or loop block device etc) do not affect the throttling of the daemon writing to the "final" bdi. This patch changes the heuristic so that the task is not throttled when the bdi it is writing to has a dirty page count below below (or equal to) the free-run threshold for that bdi. This ensures it will always be able to have some pages in flight, and so will not deadlock. In a steady-state, it is expected that PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE tasks might still be throttled by global threshold, but that is acceptable as it is only the deadlock state that is interesting for this flag. This approach of "only throttle when target bdi is busy" is consistent with the other use of PF_LESS_THROTTLE in current_may_throttle(), were it causes attention to be focussed only on the target bdi. So this patch - renames PF_LESS_THROTTLE to PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE, - removes the 25% bonus that that flag gives, and - If PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE is set, don't delay at all unless the global and the local free-run thresholds are exceeded. Note that previously realtime threads were treated the same as PF_LESS_THROTTLE threads. This patch does *not* change the behvaiour for real-time threads, so it is now different from the behaviour of nfsd and loop tasks. I don't know what is wanted for realtime.

mm/vmscan.c: remove cpu online notification for now
kswapd kernel thread starts either with a CPU affinity set to the full cpu mask of its target node or without any affinity at all if the node is CPUless. There is a cpu hotplug callback (kswapd_cpu_online) that implements an elaborate way to update this mask when a cpu is onlined. It is not really clear whether there is any actual benefit from this scheme. Completely CPU-less NUMA nodes rarely gain a new CPU during runtime. Drop the code for that reason. If there is a real usecase then we can resurrect and simplify the code.

mm: vmscan: enforce inactive:active ratio at the reclaim root
We split the LRU lists into inactive and an active parts to maximize workingset protection while allowing just enough inactive cache space to faciltate readahead and writeback for one-off file accesses (e.g. a linear scan through a file, or logging); or just enough inactive anon to maintain recent reference information when reclaim needs to swap. With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU order among the pages of all involved cgroups, inactive:active size decisions are done on a per-cgroup level. As a result, we'll reclaim a cgroup's workingset when it doesn't have cold pages, even when one of its siblings has plenty of it that should be reclaimed first. For example: workload A has 50M worth of hot cache but doesn't do any one-off file accesses; meanwhile, parallel workload B scans files and rarely accesses the same page twice. If these workloads were to run in an uncgrouped system, A would be protected from the high rate of cache faults from B. But if they were put in parallel cgroups for memory accounting purposes, B's fast cache fault rate would push out the hot cache pages of A. This is unexpected and undesirable - the "scan resistance" of the page cache is broken. This patch moves inactive:active size balancing decisions to the root of reclaim - the same level where the LRU order is established. It does this by looking at the recursive size of the inactive and the active file sets of the cgroup subtree at the beginning of the reclaim cycle, and then making a decision - scan or skip active pages - that applies throughout the entire run and to every cgroup involved. With that in place, in the test above, the VM will recognize that there are plenty of inactive pages in the combined cache set of workloads A and B and prefer the one-off cache in B over the hot pages in A. The scan resistance of the cache is restored.

mm: vmscan: detect file thrashing at the reclaim root
We use refault information to determine whether the cache workingset is stable or transitioning, and dynamically adjust the inactive:active file LRU ratio so as to maximize protection from one-off cache during stable periods, and minimize IO during transitions. With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU order among the pages of all involved cgroups, refaults only affect the local LRU order in the cgroup in which they are occuring. As a result, cache transitions can take longer in a cgrouped system as the active pages of sibling cgroups aren't challenged when they should be. [ Right now, this is somewhat theoretical, because the siblings, under continued regular reclaim pressure, should eventually run out of inactive pages - and since inactive:active *size* balancing is also done on a cgroup-local level, we will challenge the active pages eventually in most cases. But the next patch will move that relative size enforcement to the reclaim root as well, and then this patch here will be necessary to propagate refault pressure to siblings. ] This patch moves refault detection to the root of reclaim. Instead of remembering the cgroup owner of an evicted page, remember the cgroup that caused the reclaim to happen. When refaults later occur, they'll correctly influence the cross-cgroup LRU order that reclaim follows. I.e. if global reclaim kicked out pages in some subgroup A/B/C, the refault of those pages will challenge the global LRU order, and not just the local order down inside C.

mm: vmscan: move file exhaustion detection to the node level
Patch series "mm: fix page aging across multiple cgroups". When applications are put into unconfigured cgroups for memory accounting purposes, the cgrouping itself should not change the behavior of the page reclaim code. We expect the VM to reclaim the coldest pages in the system. But right now the VM can reclaim hot pages in one cgroup while there is eligible cold cache in others. This is because one part of the reclaim algorithm isn't truly cgroup hierarchy aware: the inactive/active list balancing. That is the part that is supposed to protect hot cache data from one-off streaming IO. The recursive cgroup reclaim scheme will scan and rotate the physical LRU lists of each eligible cgroup at the same rate in a round-robin fashion, thereby establishing a relative order among the pages of all those cgroups. However, the inactive/active balancing decisions are made locally within each cgroup, so when a cgroup is running low on cold pages, its hot pages will get reclaimed - even when sibling cgroups have plenty of cold cache eligible in the same reclaim run. For example: [root@ham ~]# head -n1 /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 1016336 kB [root@ham ~]# ./reclaimtest2.sh Establishing 50M active files in cgroup A... Hot pages cached: 12800/12800 workingset-a Linearly scanning through 18G of file data in cgroup B: real 0m4.269s user 0m0.051s sys 0m4.182s Hot pages cached: 134/12800 workingset-a The streaming IO in B, which doesn't benefit from caching at all, pushes out most of the workingset in A. Solution This series fixes the problem by elevating inactive/active balancing decisions to the toplevel of the reclaim run. This is either a cgroup that hit its limit, or straight-up global reclaim if there is physical memory pressure. From there, it takes a recursive view of the cgroup subtree to decide whether page deactivation is necessary. In the test above, the VM will then recognize that cgroup B has plenty of eligible cold cache, and that the hot pages in A can be spared: [root@ham ~]# ./reclaimtest2.sh Establishing 50M active files in cgroup A... Hot pages cached: 12800/12800 workingset-a Linearly scanning through 18G of file data in cgroup B: real 0m4.244s user 0m0.064s sys 0m4.177s Hot pages cached: 12800/12800 workingset-a Implementation Whether active pages can be deactivated or not is influenced by two factors: the inactive list dropping below a minimum size relative to the active list, and the occurence of refaults. This patch series first moves refault detection to the reclaim root, then enforces the minimum inactive size based on a recursive view of the cgroup tree's LRUs. History Note that this actually never worked correctly in Linux cgroups. In the past it worked for global reclaim and leaf limit reclaim only (we used to have two physical LRU linkages per page), but it never worked for intermediate limit reclaim over multiple leaf cgroups. We're noticing this now because 1) we're putting everything into cgroups for accounting, not just the things we want to control and 2) we're moving away from leaf limits that invoke reclaim on individual cgroups, toward large tree reclaim, triggered by high-level limits, or physical memory pressure that is influenced by local protections such as memory.low and memory.min instead. This patch (of 3): When file pages are lower than the watermark on a node, we try to force scan anonymous pages to counter-act the balancing algorithms preference for new file pages when they are likely thrashing. This is a node-level decision, but it's currently made each time we look at an lruvec. This is unnecessarily expensive and also a layering violation that makes the code harder to understand. Clean this up by making the check once per node and setting a flag in the scan_control.

mm: vmscan: harmonize writeback congestion tracking for nodes & memcgs
The current writeback congestion tracking has separate flags for kswapd reclaim (node level) and cgroup limit reclaim (memcg-node level). This is unnecessarily complicated: the lruvec is an existing abstraction layer for that node-memcg intersection. Introduce lruvec->flags and LRUVEC_CONGESTED. Then track that at the reclaim root level, which is either the NUMA node for global reclaim, or the cgroup-node intersection for cgroup reclaim.

Most of the function body is inside a loop, which imposes an additional indentation and scoping level that makes the code a bit hard to follow and modify.

mm: vmscan: naming fixes: global_reclaim() and sane_reclaim()
Seven years after introducing the global_reclaim() function, I still have to double take when reading a callsite. I don't know how others do it, this is a terrible name. Invert the meaning and rename it to cgroup_reclaim(). [ After all, "global reclaim" is just regular reclaim invoked from the page allocator. It's reclaim on behalf of a cgroup limit that is a special case of reclaim, and should be explicit - not the reverse. ] sane_reclaim() isn't very descriptive either: it tests whether we can use the regular writeback throttling - available during regular page reclaim or cgroup2 limit reclaim - or need to use the broken wait_on_page_writeback() method.

mm: vmscan: move inactive_list_is_low() swap check to the caller
inactive_list_is_low() should be about one thing: checking the ratio between inactive and active list. Kitchensink checks like the one for swap space makes the function hard to use and modify its callsites. Luckly, most callers already have an understanding of the swap situation, so it's easy to clean up. get_scan_count() has its own, memcg-aware swap check, and doesn't even get to the inactive_list_is_low() check on the anon list when there is no swap space available. shrink_list() is called on the results of get_scan_count(), so that check is redundant too. age_active_anon() has its own totalswap_pages check right before it checks the list proportions. The shrink_node_memcg() site is the only one that doesn't do its own swap check. Add it there. Then delete the swap check from inactive_list_is_low().

mm: clean up and clarify lruvec lookup procedure
There is a per-memcg lruvec and a NUMA node lruvec. Which one is being used is somewhat confusing right now, and it's easy to make mistakes - especially when it comes to global reclaim. How it works: when memory cgroups are enabled, we always use the root_mem_cgroup's per-node lruvecs. When memory cgroups are not compiled in or disabled at runtime, we use pgdat->lruvec. Document that in a comment. Due to the way the reclaim code is generalized, all lookups use the mem_cgroup_lruvec() helper function, and nobody should have to find the right lruvec manually right now. But to avoid future mistakes, rename the pgdat->lruvec member to pgdat->__lruvec and delete the convenience wrapper that suggests it's a commonly accessed member. While in this area, swap the mem_cgroup_lruvec() argument order. The name suggests a memcg operation, yet it takes a pgdat first and a memcg second. I have to double take every time I call this. Fix that.

mm/vmscan.c: support removing arbitrary sized pages from mapping
__remove_mapping() assumes that pages can only be either base pages or
HPAGE_PMD_SIZE. Ask the page what size it is.

mm, memcg: make scan aggression always exclude protection
This patch is an incremental improvement on the existing
memory.{low,min} relative reclaim work to base its scan pressure
calculations on how much protection is available compared to the current
usage, rather than how much the current usage is over some protection
threshold.
This change doesn't change the experience for the user in the normal
case too much. One benefit is that it replaces the (somewhat arbitrary)
100% cutoff with an indefinite slope, which makes it easier to ballpark
a memory.low value.
As well as this, the old methodology doesn't quite apply generically to
machines with varying amounts of physical memory. Let's say we have a
top level cgroup, workload.slice, and another top level cgroup,
system-management.slice. We want to roughly give 12G to
system-management.slice, so on a 32GB machine we set memory.low to 20GB
in workload.slice, and on a 64GB machine we set memory.low to 52GB.
However, because these are relative amounts to the total machine size,
while the amount of memory we want to generally be willing to yield to
system.slice is absolute (12G), we end up putting more pressure on
system.slice just because we have a larger machine and a larger workload
to fill it, which seems fairly unintuitive. With this new behaviour, we
don't end up with this unintended side effect.
Previously the way that memory.low protection works is that if you are
50% over a certain baseline, you get 50% of your normal scan pressure.
This is certainly better than the previous cliff-edge behaviour, but it
can be improved even further by always considering memory under the
currently enforced protection threshold to be out of bounds. This means
that we can set relatively low memory.low thresholds for variable or
bursty workloads while still getting a reasonable level of protection,
whereas with the previous version we may still trivially hit the 100%
clamp. The previous 100% clamp is also somewhat arbitrary, whereas this
one is more concretely based on the currently enforced protection
threshold, which is likely easier to reason about.
There is also a subtle issue with the way that proportional reclaim
worked previously -- it promotes having no memory.low, since it makes
pressure higher during low reclaim. This happens because we base our
scan pressure modulation on how far memory.current is between memory.min
and memory.low, but if memory.low is unset, we only use the overage
method. In most cromulent configurations, this then means that we end
up with *more* pressure than with no memory.low at all when we're in low
reclaim, which is not really very usable or expected.
With this patch, memory.low and memory.min affect reclaim pressure in a
more understandable and composable way. For example, from a user
standpoint, "protected" memory now remains untouchable from a reclaim
aggression standpoint, and users can also have more confidence that
bursty workloads will still receive some amount of guaranteed
protection.
