mm, page_alloc: remove fair zone allocation policy
The fair zone allocation policy interleaves allocation requests between zones to avoid an age inversion problem whereby new pages are reclaimed to balance a zone. Reclaim is now node-based so this should no longer be an issue and the fair zone allocation policy is not free. This patch removes it.

mm: convert zone_reclaim to node_reclaim
As reclaim is now per-node based, convert zone_reclaim to be node_reclaim. It is possible that a node will be reclaimed multiple times if it has multiple zones but this is unavoidable without caching all nodes traversed so far. The documentation and interface to userspace is the same from a configuration perspective and will will be similar in behaviour unless the node-local allocation requests were also limited to lower zones.

mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to node
This moves the LRU lists from the zone to the node and related data such as counters, tracing, congestion tracking and writeback tracking. Unfortunately, due to reclaim and compaction retry logic, it is necessary to account for the number of LRU pages on both zone and node logic. Most reclaim logic is based on the node counters but the retry logic uses the zone counters which do not distinguish inactive and active sizes. It would be possible to leave the LRU counters on a per-zone basis but it's a heavier calculation across multiple cache lines that is much more frequent than the retry checks. Other than the LRU counters, this is mostly a mechanical patch but note that it introduces a number of anomalies. For example, the scans are per-zone but using per-node counters. We also mark a node as congested when a zone is congested. This causes weird problems that are fixed later but is easier to review. In the event that there is excessive overhead on 32-bit systems due to the nodes being on LRU then there are two potential solutions 1. Long-term isolation of highmem pages when reclaim is lowmem When pages are skipped, they are immediately added back onto the LRU list. If lowmem reclaim persisted for long periods of time, the same highmem pages get continually scanned. The idea would be that lowmem keeps those pages on a separate list until a reclaim for highmem pages arrives that splices the highmem pages back onto the LRU. It potentially could be implemented similar to the UNEVICTABLE list. That would reduce the skip rate with the potential corner case is that highmem pages have to be scanned and reclaimed to free lowmem slab pages. 2. Linear scan lowmem pages if the initial LRU shrink fails This will break LRU ordering but may be preferable and faster during memory pressure than skipping LRU pages.

mm: introduce fault_env
The idea borrowed from Peter's patch from patchset on speculative page faults[1]: Instead of passing around the endless list of function arguments, replace the lot with a single structure so we can change context without endless function signature changes. The changes are mostly mechanical with exception of faultaround code: filemap_map_pages() got reworked a bit. This patch is preparation for the next one.

mm: make swapin readahead to improve thp collapse rate
This patch makes swapin readahead to improve thp collapse rate. When khugepaged scanned pages, there can be a few of the pages in swap area. With the patch THP can collapse 4kB pages into a THP when there are up to max_ptes_swap swap ptes in a 2MB range. The patch was tested with a test program that allocates 400B of memory, writes to it, and then sleeps. I force the system to swap out all. Afterwards, the test program touches the area by writing, it skips a page in each 20 pages of the area. Without the patch, system did not swap in readahead. THP rate was %65 of the program of the memory, it did not change over time. With this patch, after 10 minutes of waiting khugepaged had collapsed %99 of the program's memory.

mm/page_alloc: introduce post allocation processing on page allocator
This patch is motivated from Hugh and Vlastimil's concern [1]. There are two ways to get freepage from the allocator. One is using normal memory allocation API and the other is __isolate_free_page() which is internally used for compaction and pageblock isolation. Later usage is rather tricky since it doesn't do whole post allocation processing done by normal API. One problematic thing I already know is that poisoned page would not be checked if it is allocated by __isolate_free_page(). Perhaps, there would be more. We could add more debug logic for allocated page in the future and this separation would cause more problem. I'd like to fix this situation at this time. Solution is simple. This patch commonize some logic for newly allocated page and uses it on all sites. This will solve the problem.

mm: make vm_mmap killable
All the callers of vm_mmap seem to check for the failure already and bail out in one way or another on the error which means that we can change it to use killable version of vm_mmap_pgoff and return -EINTR if the current task gets killed while waiting for mmap_sem. This also means that vm_mmap_pgoff can be killable by default and drop the additional parameter. This will help in the OOM conditions when the oom victim might be stuck waiting for the mmap_sem for write which in turn can block oom_reaper which relies on the mmap_sem for read to make a forward progress and reclaim the address space of the victim. Please note that load_elf_binary is ignoring vm_mmap error for current->personality & MMAP_PAGE_ZERO case but that shouldn't be a problem because the address is not used anywhere and we never return to the userspace if we got killed.

mm: make mmap_sem for write waits killable for mm syscalls
This is a follow up work for oom_reaper [1]. As the async OOM killing depends on oom_sem for read we would really appreciate if a holder for write didn't stood in the way. This patchset is changing many of down_write calls to be killable to help those cases when the writer is blocked and waiting for readers to release the lock and so help __oom_reap_task to process the oom victim. Most of the patches are really trivial because the lock is help from a shallow syscall paths where we can return EINTR trivially and allow the current task to die (note that EINTR will never get to the userspace as the task has fatal signal pending). Others seem to be easy as well as the callers are already handling fatal errors and bail and return to userspace which should be sufficient to handle the failure gracefully. I am not familiar with all those code paths so a deeper review is really appreciated. As this work is touching more areas which are not directly connected I have tried to keep the CC list as small as possible and people who I believed would be familiar are CCed only to the specific patches (all should have received the cover though). This patchset is based on linux-next and it depends on down_write_killable for rw_semaphores which got merged into tip locking/rwsem branch and it is merged into this next tree. I guess it would be easiest to route these patches via mmotm because of the dependency on the tip tree but if respective maintainers prefer other way I have no objections. I haven't covered all the mmap_write(mm->mmap_sem) instances here $ git grep "down_write(.*\<mmap_sem\>)" next/master | wc -l 98 $ git grep "down_write(.*\<mmap_sem\>)" | wc -l 62 I have tried to cover those which should be relatively easy to review in this series because this alone should be a nice improvement. Other places can be changed on top.

It focuses on the trivial ones which are taking the lock early after entering the syscall and they are not changing state before. Therefore it is very easy to change them to use down_write_killable and immediately return with -EINTR. This will allow the waiter to pass away without blocking the mmap_sem which might be required to make a forward progress. E.g. the oom reaper will need the lock for reading to dismantle the OOM victim address space. The only tricky function in this patch is vm_mmap_pgoff which has many call sites via vm_mmap. To reduce the risk keep vm_mmap with the original non-killable semantic for now. vm_munmap callers do not bother checking the return value so open code it into the munmap syscall path for now for simplicity.

mm, compaction: distinguish between full and partial COMPACT_COMPLETE
COMPACT_COMPLETE now means that compaction and free scanner met. This is not very useful information if somebody just wants to use this feedback and make any decisions based on that. The current caller might be a poor guy who just happened to scan tiny portion of the zone and that could be the reason no suitable pages were compacted. Make sure we distinguish the full and partial zone walks. Consumers should treat COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED as a potential success and be optimistic in retrying. The existing users of COMPACT_COMPLETE are conservatively changed to use COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED as well but some of them should be probably reconsidered and only defer the compaction only for COMPACT_COMPLETE with the new semantic. This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

mm, oom: introduce oom reaper
This patch (of 5): This is based on the idea from Mel Gorman discussed during LSFMM 2015 and independently brought up by Oleg Nesterov. The OOM killer currently allows to kill only a single task in a good hope that the task will terminate in a reasonable time and frees up its memory. Such a task (oom victim) will get an access to memory reserves via mark_oom_victim to allow a forward progress should there be a need for additional memory during exit path. It has been shown (e.g. by Tetsuo Handa) that it is not that hard to construct workloads which break the core assumption mentioned above and the OOM victim might take unbounded amount of time to exit because it might be blocked in the uninterruptible state waiting for an event (e.g. lock) which is blocked by another task looping in the page allocator. This patch reduces the probability of such a lockup by introducing a specialized kernel thread (oom_reaper) which tries to reclaim additional memory by preemptively reaping the anonymous or swapped out memory owned by the oom victim under an assumption that such a memory won't be needed when its owner is killed and kicked from the userspace anyway. There is one notable exception to this, though, if the OOM victim was in the process of coredumping the result would be incomplete. This is considered a reasonable constrain because the overall system health is more important than debugability of a particular application. A kernel thread has been chosen because we need a reliable way of invocation so workqueue context is not appropriate because all the workers might be busy (e.g. allocating memory). Kswapd which sounds like another good fit is not appropriate as well because it might get blocked on locks during reclaim as well. oom_reaper has to take mmap_sem on the target task for reading so the solution is not 100% because the semaphore might be held or blocked for write but the probability is reduced considerably wrt. basically any lock blocking forward progress as described above. In order to prevent from blocking on the lock without any forward progress we are using only a trylock and retry 10 times with a short sleep in between. Users of mmap_sem which need it for write should be carefully reviewed to use _killable waiting as much as possible and reduce allocations requests done with the lock held to absolute minimum to reduce the risk even further. The API between oom killer and oom reaper is quite trivial. wake_oom_reaper updates mm_to_reap with cmpxchg to guarantee only NULL->mm transition and oom_reaper clear this atomically once it is done with the work. This means that only a single mm_struct can be reaped at the time. As the operation is potentially disruptive we are trying to limit it to the ncessary minimum and the reaper blocks any updates while it operates on an mm. mm_struct is pinned by mm_count to allow parallel exit_mmap and a race is detected by atomic_inc_not_zero(mm_users).

mm: introduce page reference manipulation functions
The success of CMA allocation largely depends on the success of migration and key factor of it is page reference count. Until now, page reference is manipulated by direct calling atomic functions so we cannot follow up who and where manipulate it. Then, it is hard to find actual reason of CMA allocation failure. CMA allocation should be guaranteed to succeed so finding offending place is really important. In this patch, call sites where page reference is manipulated are converted to introduced wrapper function. This is preparation step to add tracepoint to each page reference manipulation function. With this facility, we can easily find reason of CMA allocation failure. There is no functional change in this patch. In addition, this patch also converts reference read sites. It will help a second step that renames page._count to something else and prevents later attempt to direct access to it (Suggested by Andrew).

mm, kswapd: replace kswapd compaction with waking up kcompactd
Similarly to direct reclaim/compaction, kswapd attempts to combine
reclaim and compaction to attempt making memory allocation of given
order available.
The details differ from direct reclaim e.g. in having high watermark as
a goal. The code involved in kswapd's reclaim/compaction decisions has
evolved to be quite complex.
Testing reveals that it doesn't actually work in at least one scenario,
and closer inspection suggests that it could be greatly simplified
without compromising on the goal (make high-order page available) or
efficiency (don't reclaim too much). The simplification relieas of
doing all compaction in kcompactd, which is simply woken up when high
watermarks are reached by kswapd's reclaim.
The scenario where kswapd compaction doesn't work was found with mmtests
test stress-highalloc configured to attempt order-9 allocations without
direct reclaim, just waking up kswapd. There was no compaction attempt
from kswapd during the whole test. Some added instrumentation shows
what happens:
- balance_pgdat() sets end_zone to Normal, as it's not balanced
- reclaim is attempted on DMA zone, which sets nr_attempted to 99, but
it cannot reclaim anything, so sc.nr_reclaimed is 0
- for zones DMA32 and Normal, kswapd_shrink_zone uses testorder=0, so
it merely checks if high watermarks were reached for base pages.
This is true, so no reclaim is attempted. For DMA, testorder=0
wasn't used, as compaction_suitable() returned COMPACT_SKIPPED
- even though the pgdat_needs_compaction flag wasn't set to false, no
compaction happens due to the condition sc.nr_reclaimed >
nr_attempted being false (as 0 < 99)
- priority-- due to nr_reclaimed being 0, repeat until priority reaches
0 pgdat_balanced() is false as only the small zone DMA appears
balanced (curiously in that check, watermark appears OK and
compaction_suitable() returns COMPACT_PARTIAL, because a lower
classzone_idx is used there)
Now, even if it was decided that reclaim shouldn't be attempted on the
DMA zone, the scenario would be the same, as (sc.nr_reclaimed=0 >
nr_attempted=0) is also false. The condition really should use >= as
the comment suggests. Then there is a mismatch in the check for setting
pgdat_needs_compaction to false using low watermark, while the rest uses
high watermark, and who knows what other subtlety. Hopefully this
demonstrates that this is unsustainable.
Luckily we can simplify this a lot. The reclaim/compaction decisions
make sense for direct reclaim scenario, but in kswapd, our primary goal
is to reach high watermark in order-0 pages. Afterwards we can attempt
compaction just once. Unlike direct reclaim, we don't reclaim extra
pages (over the high watermark), the current code already disallows it
for good reasons.
After this patch, we simply wake up kcompactd to process the pgdat,
after we have either succeeded or failed to reach the high watermarks in
kswapd, which goes to sleep. We pass kswapd's order and classzone_idx,
so kcompactd can apply the same criteria to determine which zones are
worth compacting. Note that we use the classzone_idx from
wakeup_kswapd(), not balanced_classzone_idx which can include higher
zones that kswapd tried to balance too, but didn't consider them in
pgdat_balanced().
Since kswapd now cannot create high-order pages itself, we need to
adjust how it determines the zones to be balanced. The key element here
is adding a "highorder" parameter to zone_balanced, which, when set to
false, makes it consider only order-0 watermark instead of the desired
higher order (this was done previously by kswapd_shrink_zone(), but not
elsewhere). This false is passed for example in pgdat_balanced().
Importantly, wakeup_kswapd() uses true to make sure kswapd and thus
kcompactd are woken up for a high-order allocation failure.
The last thing is to decide what to do with pageblock_skip bitmap
handling. Compaction maintains a pageblock_skip bitmap to record
pageblocks where isolation recently failed. This bitmap can be reset by
three ways:
1) direct compaction is restarting after going through the full deferred cycle
2) kswapd goes to sleep, and some other direct compaction has previously
finished scanning the whole zone and set zone->compact_blockskip_flush.
Note that a successful direct compaction clears this flag.
3) compaction was invoked manually via trigger in /proc
The case 2) is somewhat fuzzy to begin with, but after introducing
kcompactd we should update it. The check for direct compaction in 1),
and to set the flush flag in 2) use current_is_kswapd(), which doesn't
work for kcompactd. Thus, this patch adds bool direct_compaction to
compact_control to use in 2). For the case 1) we remove the check
completely - unlike the former kswapd compaction, kcompactd does use the
deferred compaction functionality, so flushing tied to restarting from
deferred compaction makes sense here.
Note that when kswapd goes to sleep, kcompactd is woken up, so it will
see the flushed pageblock_skip bits. This is different from when the
former kswapd compaction observed the bits and I believe it makes more
sense. Kcompactd can afford to be more thorough than a direct
compaction trying to limit allocation latency, or kswapd whose primary
goal is to reclaim.
For testing, I used stress-highalloc configured to do order-9
allocations with GFP_NOWAIT|__GFP_HIGH|__GFP_COMP, so they relied just
on kswapd/kcompactd reclaim/compaction (the interfering kernel builds in
phases 1 and 2 work as usual):

After this patch we see improvements in allocation success rate
(especially for phase 3) along with increased compaction activity. The
compaction stalls (direct compaction) in the interfering kernel builds
(probably THP's) also decreased somewhat thanks to kcompactd activity,
yet THP alloc successes improved a bit.
Note that elapsed and user time isn't so useful for this benchmark,
because of the background interference being unpredictable. It's just
to quickly spot some major unexpected differences. System time is
somewhat more useful and that didn't increase.
Also (after adjusting mmtests' ftrace monitor):
Time kswapd awake 2547781 2269241
Time kcompactd awake 0 119253
Time direct compacting 939937 557649
Time kswapd compacting 0 0
Time kcompactd compacting 0 119099
The decrease of overal time spent compacting appears to not match the
increased compaction stats. I suspect the tasks get rescheduled and
since the ftrace monitor doesn't see that, the reported time is wall
time, not CPU time. But arguably direct compactors care about overall
latency anyway, whether busy compacting or waiting for CPU doesn't
matter. And that latency seems to almost halved.
It's also interesting how much time kswapd spent awake just going
through all the priorities and failing to even try compacting, over and
over.
We can also configure stress-highalloc to perform both direct
reclaim/compaction and wakeup kswapd/kcompactd, by using
GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH|__GFP_COMP:

mm/compaction: speed up pageblock_pfn_to_page() when zone is contiguous
There is a performance drop report due to hugepage allocation and in there half of cpu time are spent on pageblock_pfn_to_page() in compaction [1]. In that workload, compaction is triggered to make hugepage but most of pageblocks are un-available for compaction due to pageblock type and skip bit so compaction usually fails. Most costly operations in this case is to find valid pageblock while scanning whole zone range. To check if pageblock is valid to compact, valid pfn within pageblock is required and we can obtain it by calling pageblock_pfn_to_page(). This function checks whether pageblock is in a single zone and return valid pfn if possible. Problem is that we need to check it every time before scanning pageblock even if we re-visit it and this turns out to be very expensive in this workload. Although we have no way to skip this pageblock check in the system where hole exists at arbitrary position, we can use cached value for zone continuity and just do pfn_to_page() in the system where hole doesn't exist. This optimization considerably speeds up in above workload. Before vs After Max: 1096 MB/s vs 1325 MB/s Min: 635 MB/s 1015 MB/s Avg: 899 MB/s 1194 MB/s Avg is improved by roughly 30% [2].

mm, printk: introduce new format string for flags
In mm we use several kinds of flags bitfields that are sometimes printed for debugging purposes, or exported to userspace via sysfs. To make them easier to interpret independently on kernel version and config, we want to dump also the symbolic flag names. So far this has been done with repeated calls to pr_cont(), which is unreliable on SMP, and not usable for e.g. sysfs export. To get a more reliable and universal solution, this patch extends printk() format string for pointers to handle the page flags (%pGp), gfp_flags (%pGg) and vma flags (%pGv). Existing users of dump_flag_names() are converted and simplified. It would be possible to pass flags by value instead of pointer, but the %p format string for pointers already has extensions for various kernel structures, so it's a good fit, and the extra indirection in a non-critical path is negligible.

thp: reintroduce split_huge_page()
This patch adds implementation of split_huge_page() for new
refcountings.
Unlike previous implementation, new split_huge_page() can fail if
somebody holds GUP pin on the page. It also means that pin on page
would prevent it from bening split under you. It makes situation in
many places much cleaner.
The basic scheme of split_huge_page():
- Check that sum of mapcounts of all subpage is equal to page_count()
plus one (caller pin). Foll off with -EBUSY. This way we can avoid
useless PMD-splits.
- Freeze the page counters by splitting all PMD and setup migration
PTEs.
- Re-check sum of mapcounts against page_count(). Page's counts are
stable now. -EBUSY if page is pinned.
- Split compound page.
- Unfreeze the page by removing migration entries.

mm: drop tail page refcounting
Tail page refcounting is utterly complicated and painful to support. It uses ->_mapcount on tail pages to store how many times this page is pinned. get_page() bumps ->_mapcount on tail page in addition to ->_count on head. This information is required by split_huge_page() to be able to distribute pins from head of compound page to tails during the split. We will need ->_mapcount to account PTE mappings of subpages of the compound page. We eliminate need in current meaning of ->_mapcount in tail pages by forbidding split entirely if the page is pinned. The only user of tail page refcounting is THP which is marked BROKEN for now. Let's drop all this mess. It makes get_page() and put_page() much simpler. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

mm: make compound_head() robust
Hugh has pointed that compound_head() call can be unsafe in some
context. There's one example:
CPU0 CPU1
isolate_migratepages_block()
page_count()
compound_head()
!!PageTail() == true
put_page()
tail->first_page = NULL
head = tail->first_page
alloc_pages(__GFP_COMP)
prep_compound_page()
tail->first_page = head
__SetPageTail(p);
!!PageTail() == true
<head == NULL dereferencing>
The race is pure theoretical. I don't it's possible to trigger it in
practice. But who knows.
We can fix the race by changing how encode PageTail() and compound_head()
within struct page to be able to update them in one shot.
The patch introduces page->compound_head into third double word block in
front of compound_dtor and compound_order. Bit 0 encodes PageTail() and
the rest bits are pointer to head page if bit zero is set.
The patch moves page->pmd_huge_pte out of word, just in case if an
architecture defines pgtable_t into something what can have the bit 0
set.
hugetlb_cgroup uses page->lru.next in the second tail page to store
pointer struct hugetlb_cgroup. The patch switch it to use page->private
in the second tail page instead. The space is free since ->first_page is
removed from the union.
The patch also opens possibility to remove HUGETLB_CGROUP_MIN_ORDER
limitation, since there's now space in first tail page to store struct
hugetlb_cgroup pointer. But that's out of scope of the patch.
That means page->compound_head shares storage space with:
- page->lru.next;
- page->next;
- page->rcu_head.next;
That's too long list to be absolutely sure, but looks like nobody uses
bit 0 of the word.
page->rcu_head.next guaranteed[1] to have bit 0 clean as long as we use
call_rcu(), call_rcu_bh(), call_rcu_sched(), or call_srcu(). But future
call_rcu_lazy() is not allowed as it makes use of the bit and we can
get false positive PageTail().

mm: page_alloc: hide some GFP internals and document the bits and flag combinations
Andrew stated the following We have quite a history of remote parts of the kernel using weird/wrong/inexplicable combinations of __GFP_ flags. I tend to think that this is because we didn't adequately explain the interface. And I don't think that gfp.h really improved much in this area as a result of this patchset. Could you go through it some time and decide if we've adequately documented all this stuff? This patches first moves some GFP flag combinations that are part of the MM internals to mm/internal.h. The rest of the patch documents the __GFP_FOO bits under various headings and then documents the flag combinations. It will not help callers that are brain damaged but the clarity might motivate some fixes and avoid future mistakes.

If pageblock is skipped in isolate_migratepages() due to whatever reason, cc->migrate_pfn can be far from isolate_start_pfn hence we flush pages that were freed. For example, the following scenario can be possible: - assume order-9 compaction, pageblock order is 9 - start_isolate_pfn is 0x200 - isolate_migratepages() - skip a number of pageblocks - start to isolate from pfn 0x600 - cc->migrate_pfn = 0x620 - return - last_migrated_pfn is set to 0x200 - check flushing condition - current_block_start is set to 0x600 - last_migrated_pfn < current_block_start then do useless flush This wrong flush would not help the performance and success rate so this patch tries to fix it. One simple way to know the exact position where we start to isolate migratable pages is that we cache it in isolate_migratepages() before entering actual isolation. This patch implements that and fixes the problem.

mm: defer flush of writable TLB entries
If a PTE is unmapped and it's dirty then it was writable recently. Due to deferred TLB flushing, it's best to assume a writable TLB cache entry exists. With that assumption, the TLB must be flushed before any IO can start or the page is freed to avoid lost writes or data corruption. This patch defers flushing of potentially writable TLBs as long as possible.

mm: send one IPI per CPU to TLB flush all entries after unmapping pages
An IPI is sent to flush remote TLBs when a page is unmapped that was
potentially accesssed by other CPUs. There are many circumstances where
this happens but the obvious one is kswapd reclaiming pages belonging to a
running process as kswapd and the task are likely running on separate
CPUs.
On small machines, this is not a significant problem but as machine gets
larger with more cores and more memory, the cost of these IPIs can be
high. This patch uses a simple structure that tracks CPUs that
potentially have TLB entries for pages being unmapped. When the unmapping
is complete, the full TLB is flushed on the assumption that a refill cost
is lower than flushing individual entries.
Architectures wishing to do this must give the following guarantee.
If a clean page is unmapped and not immediately flushed, the
architecture must guarantee that a write to that linear address
from a CPU with a cached TLB entry will trap a page fault.
This is essentially what the kernel already depends on but the window is
much larger with this patch applied and is worth highlighting. The
architecture should consider whether the cost of the full TLB flush is
higher than sending an IPI to flush each individual entry. An additional
architecture helper called flush_tlb_local is required. It's a trivial
wrapper with some accounting in the x86 case.
The impact of this patch depends on the workload as measuring any benefit
requires both mapped pages co-located on the LRU and memory pressure. The
case with the biggest impact is multiple processes reading mapped pages
taken from the vm-scalability test suite. The test case uses NR_CPU
readers of mapped files that consume 10*RAM.

It's still a noticeable improvement with vmstat showing interrupts went

The patch will have no impact on workloads with no memory pressure or have
relatively few mapped pages. It will have an unpredictable impact on the
workload running on the CPU being flushed as it'll depend on how many TLB
entries need to be refilled and how long that takes. Worst case, the TLB
will be completely cleared of active entries when the target PFNs were not
resident at all.

mm: meminit: finish initialisation of struct pages before basic setup
Waiman Long reported that 24TB machines hit OOM during basic setup when struct page initialisation was deferred. One approach is to initialise memory on demand but it interferes with page allocator paths. This patch creates dedicated threads to initialise memory before basic setup. It then blocks on a rw_semaphore until completion as a wait_queue and counter is overkill. This may be slower to boot but it's simplier overall and also gets rid of a section mangling which existed so kswapd could do the initialisation.

This should boot faster by spreading the work to multiple CPUs and initialising data that is local to the CPU.

mm/compaction: enhance compaction finish condition
Compaction has anti fragmentation algorithm. It is that freepage should be more than pageblock order to finish the compaction if we don't find any freepage in requested migratetype buddy list. This is for mitigating fragmentation, but, there is a lack of migratetype consideration and it is too excessive compared to page allocator's anti fragmentation algorithm. Not considering migratetype would cause premature finish of compaction. For example, if allocation request is for unmovable migratetype, freepage with CMA migratetype doesn't help that allocation and compaction should not be stopped. But, current logic regards this situation as compaction is no longer needed, so finish the compaction. Secondly, condition is too excessive compared to page allocator's logic. We can steal freepage from other migratetype and change pageblock migratetype on more relaxed conditions in page allocator. This is designed to prevent fragmentation and we can use it here. Imposing hard constraint only to the compaction doesn't help much in this case since page allocator would cause fragmentation again. To solve these problems, this patch borrows anti fragmentation logic from page allocator. It will reduce premature compaction finish in some cases and reduce excessive compaction work. stress-highalloc test in mmtests with non movable order 7 allocation shows considerable increase of compaction success rate. Compaction success rate (Compaction success * 100 / Compaction stalls, %) 31.82 : 42.20 I tested it on non-reboot 5 runs stress-highalloc benchmark and found that there is no more degradation on allocation success rate than before. That roughly means that this patch doesn't result in more fragmentations. Vlastimil suggests additional idea that we only test for fallbacks when migration scanner has scanned a whole pageblock. It looked good for fragmentation because chance of stealing increase due to making more free pages in certain pageblock. So, I tested it, but, it results in decreased compaction success rate, roughly 38.00. I guess the reason that if system is low memory condition, watermark check could be failed due to not enough order 0 free page and so, sometimes, we can't reach a fallback check although migrate_pfn is aligned to pageblock_nr_pages. I can insert code to cope with this situation but it makes code more complicated so I don't include his idea at this patch.

mm, compaction: always update cached scanner positions
Compaction caches the migration and free scanner positions between
compaction invocations, so that the whole zone gets eventually scanned and
there is no bias towards the initial scanner positions at the
beginning/end of the zone.
The cached positions are continuously updated as scanners progress and the
updating stops as soon as a page is successfully isolated. The reasoning
behind this is that a pageblock where isolation succeeded is likely to
succeed again in near future and it should be worth revisiting it.
However, the downside is that potentially many pages are rescanned without
successful isolation. At worst, there might be a page where isolation
from LRU succeeds but migration fails (potentially always). So upon
encountering this page, cached position would always stop being updated
for no good reason. It might have been useful to let such page be
rescanned with sync compaction after async one failed, but this is now
handled by caching scanner position for async and sync mode separately
since commit

mm, compaction: pass classzone_idx and alloc_flags to watermark checking
Compaction relies on zone watermark checks for decisions such as if it's worth to start compacting in compaction_suitable() or whether compaction should stop in compact_finished(). The watermark checks take classzone_idx and alloc_flags parameters, which are related to the memory allocation request. But from the context of compaction they are currently passed as 0, including the direct compaction which is invoked to satisfy the allocation request, and could therefore know the proper values. The lack of proper values can lead to mismatch between decisions taken during compaction and decisions related to the allocation request. Lack of proper classzone_idx value means that lowmem_reserve is not taken into account. This has manifested (during recent changes to deferred compaction) when DMA zone was used as fallback for preferred Normal zone. compaction_suitable() without proper classzone_idx would think that the watermarks are already satisfied, but watermark check in get_page_from_freelist() would fail. Because of this problem, deferring compaction has extra complexity that can be removed in the following patch. The issue (not confirmed in practice) with missing alloc_flags is opposite in nature. For allocations that include ALLOC_HIGH, ALLOC_HIGHER or ALLOC_CMA in alloc_flags (the last includes all MOVABLE allocations on CMA-enabled systems) the watermark checking in compaction with 0 passed will be stricter than in get_page_from_freelist(). In these cases compaction might be running for a longer time than is really needed. Another issue compaction_suitable() is that the check for "does the zone need compaction at all?" comes only after the check "does the zone have enough free free pages to succeed compaction". The latter considers extra pages for migration and can therefore in some situations fail and return COMPACT_SKIPPED, although the high-order allocation would succeed and we should return COMPACT_PARTIAL. This patch fixes these problems by adding alloc_flags and classzone_idx to struct compact_control and related functions involved in direct compaction and watermark checking. Where possible, all other callers of compaction_suitable() pass proper values where those are known. This is currently limited to classzone_idx, which is sometimes known in kswapd context. However, the direct reclaim callers should_continue_reclaim() and compaction_ready() do not currently know the proper values, so the coordination between reclaim and compaction may still not be as accurate as it could. This can be fixed later, if it's shown to be an issue. Additionaly the checks in compact_suitable() are reordered to address the second issue described above. The effect of this patch should be slightly better high-order allocation success rates and/or less compaction overhead, depending on the type of allocations and presence of CMA. It allows simplifying deferred compaction code in a followup patch. When testing with stress-highalloc, there was some slight improvement (which might be just due to variance) in success rates of non-THP-like allocations.

mm/page_alloc: restrict max order of merging on isolated pageblock
Current pageblock isolation logic could isolate each pageblock individually. This causes freepage accounting problem if freepage with pageblock order on isolate pageblock is merged with other freepage on normal pageblock. We can prevent merging by restricting max order of merging to pageblock order if freepage is on isolate pageblock. A side-effect of this change is that there could be non-merged buddy freepage even if finishing pageblock isolation, because undoing pageblock isolation is just to move freepage from isolate buddy list to normal buddy list rather than to consider merging. So, the patch also makes undoing pageblock isolation consider freepage merge. When un-isolation, freepage with more than pageblock order and it's buddy are checked. If they are on normal pageblock, instead of just moving, we isolate the freepage and free it in order to get merged.

mm, compaction: skip buddy pages by their order in the migrate scanner
The migration scanner skips PageBuddy pages, but does not consider their order as checking page_order() is generally unsafe without holding the zone->lock, and acquiring the lock just for the check wouldn't be a good tradeoff. Still, this could avoid some iterations over the rest of the buddy page, and if we are careful, the race window between PageBuddy() check and page_order() is small, and the worst thing that can happen is that we skip too much and miss some isolation candidates. This is not that bad, as compaction can already fail for many other reasons like parallel allocations, and those have much larger race window. This patch therefore makes the migration scanner obtain the buddy page order and use it to skip the whole buddy page, if the order appears to be in the valid range. It's important that the page_order() is read only once, so that the value used in the checks and in the pfn calculation is the same. But in theory the compiler can replace the local variable by multiple inlines of page_order(). Therefore, the patch introduces page_order_unsafe() that uses ACCESS_ONCE to prevent this. Testing with stress-highalloc from mmtests shows a 15% reduction in number of pages scanned by migration scanner. The reduction is >60% with __GFP_NO_KSWAPD allocations, along with success rates better by few percent.

mm, compaction: khugepaged should not give up due to need_resched()
Async compaction aborts when it detects zone lock contention or need_resched() is true. David Rientjes has reported that in practice, most direct async compactions for THP allocation abort due to need_resched(). This means that a second direct compaction is never attempted, which might be OK for a page fault, but khugepaged is intended to attempt a sync compaction in such case and in these cases it won't. This patch replaces "bool contended" in compact_control with an int that distinguishes between aborting due to need_resched() and aborting due to lock contention. This allows propagating the abort through all compaction functions as before, but passing the abort reason up to __alloc_pages_slowpath() which decides when to continue with direct reclaim and another compaction attempt. Another problem is that try_to_compact_pages() did not act upon the reported contention (both need_resched() or lock contention) immediately and would proceed with another zone from the zonelist. When need_resched() is true, that means initializing another zone compaction, only to check again need_resched() in isolate_migratepages() and aborting. For zone lock contention, the unintended consequence is that the lock contended status reported back to the allocator is detrmined from the last zone where compaction was attempted, which is rather arbitrary. This patch fixes the problem in the following way: - async compaction of a zone aborting due to need_resched() or fatal signal pending means that further zones should not be tried. We report COMPACT_CONTENDED_SCHED to the allocator. - aborting zone compaction due to lock contention means we can still try another zone, since it has different set of locks. We report back COMPACT_CONTENDED_LOCK only if *all* zones where compaction was attempted, it was aborted due to lock contention. As a result of these fixes, khugepaged will proceed with second sync compaction as intended, when the preceding async compaction aborted due to need_resched(). Page fault compactions aborting due to need_resched() will spare some cycles previously wasted by initializing another zone compaction only to abort again. Lock contention will be reported only when compaction in all zones aborted due to lock contention, and therefore it's not a good idea to try again after reclaim. In stress-highalloc from mmtests configured to use __GFP_NO_KSWAPD, this has improved number of THP collapse allocations by 10%, which shows positive effect on khugepaged. The benchmark's success rates are unchanged as it is not recognized as khugepaged. Numbers of compact_stall and compact_fail events have however decreased by 20%, with compact_success still a bit improved, which is good. With benchmark configured not to use __GFP_NO_KSWAPD, there is 6% improvement in THP collapse allocations, and only slight improvement in stalls and failures.
