Async compaction detects contention either due to failing trylock on
zone->lock or lru_lock, or by need_resched(). Since 1f9efdef4f ("mm,
compaction: khugepaged should not give up due to need_resched()") the
code got quite complicated to distinguish these two up to the
__alloc_pages_slowpath() level, so different decisions could be taken
for khugepaged allocations.
After the recent changes, khugepaged allocations don't check for
contended compaction anymore, so we again don't need to distinguish lock
and sched contention, and simplify the current convoluted code a lot.
However, I believe it's also possible to simplify even more and
completely remove the check for contended compaction after the initial
async compaction for costly orders, which was originally aimed at THP
page fault allocations. There are several reasons why this can be done
now:
- with the new defaults, THP page faults no longer do reclaim/compaction at
all, unless the system admin has overridden the default, or application has
indicated via madvise that it can benefit from THP's. In both cases, it
means that the potential extra latency is expected and worth the benefits.
- even if reclaim/compaction proceeds after this patch where it previously
wouldn't, the second compaction attempt is still async and will detect the
contention and back off, if the contention persists
- there are still heuristics like deferred compaction and pageblock skip bits
in place that prevent excessive THP page fault latencies

In the context of direct compaction, for some types of allocations we
would like the compaction to either succeed or definitely fail while
trying as hard as possible. Current async/sync_light migration mode is
insufficient, as there are heuristics such as caching scanner positions,
marking pageblocks as unsuitable or deferring compaction for a zone. At
least the final compaction attempt should be able to override these
heuristics.
To communicate how hard compaction should try, we replace migration mode
with a new enum compact_priority and change the relevant function
signatures. In compact_zone_order() where struct compact_control is
constructed, the priority is mapped to suitable control flags. This
patch itself has no functional change, as the current priority levels
are mapped back to the same migration modes as before. Expanding them
will be done next.
Note that !CONFIG_COMPACTION variant of try_to_compact_pages() is
removed, as the only caller exists under CONFIG_COMPACTION.

After the previous patch, we can distinguish costly allocations that
should be really lightweight, such as THP page faults, with
__GFP_NORETRY. This means we don't need to recognize khugepaged
allocations via PF_KTHREAD anymore. We can also change THP page faults
in areas where madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) was used to try as hard as
khugepaged, as the process has indicated that it benefits from THP's and
is willing to pay some initial latency costs.
We can also make the flags handling less cryptic by distinguishing
GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT (no reclaim at all, default mode in page fault) from
GFP_TRANSHUGE (only direct reclaim, khugepaged default). Adding
__GFP_NORETRY or __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM is done where needed.
The patch effectively changes the current GFP_TRANSHUGE users as
follows:
* get_huge_zero_page() - the zero page lifetime should be relatively
long and it's shared by multiple users, so it's worth spending some
effort on it. We use GFP_TRANSHUGE, and __GFP_NORETRY is not added.
This also restores direct reclaim to this allocation, which was
unintentionally removed by commit e4a49efe4e7e ("mm: thp: set THP defrag
by default to madvise and add a stall-free defrag option")
* alloc_hugepage_khugepaged_gfpmask() - this is khugepaged, so latency
is not an issue. So if khugepaged "defrag" is enabled (the default), do
reclaim via GFP_TRANSHUGE without __GFP_NORETRY. We can remove the
PF_KTHREAD check from page alloc.
As a side-effect, khugepaged will now no longer check if the initial
compaction was deferred or contended. This is OK, as khugepaged sleep
times between collapsion attempts are long enough to prevent noticeable
disruption, so we should allow it to spend some effort.
* migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() - already was masking out
__GFP_RECLAIM, so just convert to GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT which is
equivalent.
* alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask() - vma's with VM_HUGEPAGE (via madvise)
are now allocating without __GFP_NORETRY. Other vma's keep using
__GFP_NORETRY if direct reclaim/compaction is at all allowed (by default
it's allowed only for madvised vma's). The rest is conversion to
GFP_TRANSHUGE(_LIGHT).

Since THP allocations during page faults can be costly, extra decisions
are employed for them to avoid excessive reclaim and compaction, if the
initial compaction doesn't look promising. The detection has never been
perfect as there is no gfp flag specific to THP allocations. At this
moment it checks the whole combination of flags that makes up
GFP_TRANSHUGE, and hopes that no other users of such combination exist,
or would mind being treated the same way. Extra care is also taken to
separate allocations from khugepaged, where latency doesn't matter that
much.
It is however possible to distinguish these allocations in a simpler and
more reliable way. The key observation is that after the initial
compaction followed by the first iteration of "standard"
reclaim/compaction, both __GFP_NORETRY allocations and costly
allocations without __GFP_REPEAT are declared as failures:
/* Do not loop if specifically requested */
if (gfp_mask & __GFP_NORETRY)
goto nopage;
/*
* Do not retry costly high order allocations unless they are
* __GFP_REPEAT
*/
if (order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER && !(gfp_mask & __GFP_REPEAT))
goto nopage;
This means we can further distinguish allocations that are costly order
*and* additionally include the __GFP_NORETRY flag. As it happens,
GFP_TRANSHUGE allocations do already fall into this category. This will
also allow other costly allocations with similar high-order benefit vs
latency considerations to use this semantic. Furthermore, we can
distinguish THP allocations that should try a bit harder (such as from
khugepageed) by removing __GFP_NORETRY, as will be done in the next
patch.

The retry loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath is supposed to keep trying
reclaim and compaction (and OOM), until either the allocation succeeds,
or returns with failure. Success here is more probable when reclaim
precedes compaction, as certain watermarks have to be met for compaction
to even try, and more free pages increase the probability of compaction
success. On the other hand, starting with light async compaction (if
the watermarks allow it), can be more efficient, especially for smaller
orders, if there's enough free memory which is just fragmented.
Thus, the current code starts with compaction before reclaim, and to
make sure that the last reclaim is always followed by a final
compaction, there's another direct compaction call at the end of the
loop. This makes the code hard to follow and adds some duplicated
handling of migration_mode decisions. It's also somewhat inefficient
that even if reclaim or compaction decides not to retry, the final
compaction is still attempted. Some gfp flags combination also shortcut
these retry decisions by "goto noretry;", making it even harder to
follow.
This patch attempts to restructure the code with only minimal functional
changes. The call to the first compaction and THP-specific checks are
now placed above the retry loop, and the "noretry" direct compaction is
removed.
The initial compaction is additionally restricted only to costly orders,
as we can expect smaller orders to be held back by watermarks, and only
larger orders to suffer primarily from fragmentation. This better
matches the checks in reclaim's shrink_zones().
There are two other smaller functional changes. One is that the upgrade
from async migration to light sync migration will always occur after the
initial compaction. This is how it has been until recent patch "mm,
oom: protect !costly allocations some more", which introduced upgrading
the mode based on COMPACT_COMPLETE result, but kept the final compaction
always upgraded, which made it even more special. It's better to return
to the simpler handling for now, as migration modes will be further
modified later in the series.
The second change is that once both reclaim and compaction declare it's
not worth to retry the reclaim/compact loop, there is no final
compaction attempt. As argued above, this is intentional. If that
final compaction were to succeed, it would be due to a wrong retry
decision, or simply a race with somebody else freeing memory for us.
The main outcome of this patch should be simpler code. Logically, the
initial compaction without reclaim is the exceptional case to the
reclaim/compaction scheme, but prior to the patch, it was the last loop
iteration that was exceptional. Now the code matches the logic better.
The change also enable the following patches.

After __alloc_pages_slowpath() sets up new alloc_flags and wakes up
kswapd, it first tries get_page_from_freelist() with the new
alloc_flags, as it may succeed e.g. due to using min watermark instead
of low watermark. It makes sense to to do this attempt before adjusting
zonelist based on alloc_flags/gfp_mask, as it's still relatively a fast
path if we just wake up kswapd and successfully allocate.
This patch therefore moves the initial attempt above the retry label and
reorganizes a bit the part below the retry label. We still have to
attempt get_page_from_freelist() on each retry, as some allocations
cannot do that as part of direct reclaim or compaction, and yet are not
allowed to fail (even though they do a WARN_ON_ONCE() and thus should
not exist). We can reuse the call meant for ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS attempt
and just set alloc_flags to ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS if the context allows
it. As a side-effect, the attempts from direct reclaim/compaction will
also no longer obey watermarks once this is set, but there's little harm
in that.
Kswapd wakeups are also done on each retry to be safe from potential
races resulting in kswapd going to sleep while a process (that may not
be able to reclaim by itself) is still looping.

In __alloc_pages_slowpath(), alloc_flags doesn't change after it's
initialized, so move the initialization above the retry: label. Also
make the comment above the initialization more descriptive.
The only exception in the alloc_flags being constant is
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS, which may change due to TIF_MEMDIE being set on the
allocating thread. We can fix this, and make the code simpler and a bit
more effective at the same time, by moving the part that determines
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS from gfp_to_alloc_flags() to gfp_pfmemalloc_allowed().
This means we don't have to mask out ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS in numerous
places in __alloc_pages_slowpath() anymore. The only two tests for the
flag can instead call gfp_pfmemalloc_allowed().

There's one case when vma_adjust() expands the vma, overlapping with
*two* next vma. See case 6 of mprotect, described in the comment to
vma_merge().
To handle this (and only this) situation we iterate twice over main part
of the function. See "goto again".
Vegard reported[1] that he sees out-of-bounds access complain from
KASAN, if anon_vma_clone() on the *second* iteration fails.
This happens because we free 'next' vma by the end of first iteration
and don't have a way to undo this if anon_vma_clone() fails on the
second iteration.
The solution is to do all required allocations upfront, before we touch
vmas.
The allocation on the second iteration is only required if first two
vmas don't have anon_vma, but third does. So we need, in total, one
anon_vma_clone() call.
It's easy to adjust 'exporter' to the third vma for such case.

If we offline a node, alloc the new page from a nearest neighbor node
instead of the current node or other remote nodes, because re-migrate is
a waste of time and the distance of the remote nodes is often very
large.
Also use GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE to alloc new page if the zone is movable

copy_page_to_iter_iovec() and copy_page_from_iter_iovec() copy some data
to userspace or from userspace. These functions have a fast path where
they map a page using kmap_atomic and a slow path where they use kmap.
kmap is slower than kmap_atomic, so the fast path is preferred.
However, on kernels without highmem support, kmap just calls
page_address, so there is no need to avoid kmap. On kernels without
highmem support, the fast path just increases code size (and cache
footprint) and it doesn't improve copy performance in any way.
This patch enables the fast path only if CONFIG_HIGHMEM is defined.

This reverts commit f9054c70d2 ("mm, mempool: only set __GFP_NOMEMALLOC
if there are free elements").
There has been a report about OOM killer invoked when swapping out to a
dm-crypt device. The primary reason seems to be that the swapout out IO
managed to completely deplete memory reserves. Ondrej was able to
bisect and explained the issue by pointing to f9054c70d2 ("mm,
mempool: only set __GFP_NOMEMALLOC if there are free elements").
The reason is that the swapout path is not throttled properly because
the md-raid layer needs to allocate from the generic_make_request path
which means it allocates from the PF_MEMALLOC context. dm layer uses
mempool_alloc in order to guarantee a forward progress which used to
inhibit access to memory reserves when using page allocator. This has
changed by f9054c70d2 ("mm, mempool: only set __GFP_NOMEMALLOC if
there are free elements") which has dropped the __GFP_NOMEMALLOC
protection when the memory pool is depleted.
If we are running out of memory and the only way forward to free memory
is to perform swapout we just keep consuming memory reserves rather than
throttling the mempool allocations and allowing the pending IO to
complete up to a moment when the memory is depleted completely and there
is no way forward but invoking the OOM killer. This is less than
optimal.
The original intention of f9054c70d2 was to help with the OOM
situations where the oom victim depends on mempool allocation to make a
forward progress. David has mentioned the following backtrace:
schedule
schedule_timeout
io_schedule_timeout
mempool_alloc
__split_and_process_bio
dm_request
generic_make_request
submit_bio
mpage_readpages
ext4_readpages
__do_page_cache_readahead
ra_submit
filemap_fault
handle_mm_fault
__do_page_fault
do_page_fault
page_fault
We do not know more about why the mempool is depleted without being
replenished in time, though. In any case the dm layer shouldn't depend
on any allocations outside of the dedicated pools so a forward progress
should be guaranteed. If this is not the case then the dm should be
fixed rather than papering over the problem and postponing it to later
by accessing more memory reserves.
mempools are a mechanism to maintain dedicated memory reserves to
guaratee forward progress. Allowing them an unbounded access to the
page allocator memory reserves is going against the whole purpose of
this mechanism.

isolate a PageWriteback page, which __unmap_and_move() then rejects with
-EBUSY: of course the writeback might complete in between, but that's
not what we usually expect, so probably better not to isolate it.
When tested by stress-highalloc from mmtests, this has reduced the
number of page migrate failures by 60-70%.

dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page() can be called without page lock hold, so

The reason why the page lock is not really needed is that
dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page() checks page_huge_active() inside
hugetlb_lock, which allows us to avoid trying to dequeue a hugepage that
are just allocated but not linked to active list yet, even without
taking page lock.

When booting an ACPI enabled kernel with 'mem=x', there is the
possibility that ACPI data regions from the firmware will lie above the
memory limit. Ordinarily these will be removed by
memblock_enforce_memory_limit(.).
Unfortunately, this means that these regions will then be mapped by
acpi_os_ioremap(.) as device memory (instead of normal) thus unaligned
accessess will then provoke alignment faults.
In this patch we adopt memblock_mem_limit_remove_map instead, and this
preserves these ACPI data regions (marked NOMAP) thus ensuring that
these regions are not mapped as device memory.
For example, below is an alignment exception observed on ARM platform
when booting the kernel with 'acpi=on mem=8G':

In some cases, memblock is queried by kernel to determine whether a
specified address is RAM or not. For example, the ACPI core needs this
information to determine which attributes to use when mapping ACPI
regions(acpi_os_ioremap). Use of incorrect memory types can result in
faults, data corruption, or other issues.
Removing memory with memblock_enforce_memory_limit() throws away this
information, and so a kernel booted with 'mem=' may suffer from the
issues described above. To avoid this, we need to keep those NOMAP
regions instead of removing all above the limit, which preserves the
information we need while preventing other use of those regions.
This patch adds new infrastructure to retain all NOMAP memblock regions
while removing others, to cater for this.

Currently, NR_KERNEL_STACK tracks the number of kernel stacks in a zone.
This only makes sense if each kernel stack exists entirely in one zone,
and allowing vmapped stacks could break this assumption.
Since frv has THREAD_SIZE < PAGE_SIZE, we need to track kernel stack
allocations in a unit that divides both THREAD_SIZE and PAGE_SIZE on all
architectures. Keep it simple and use KiB.

Currently, if a class can not be merged, the max objects of zspage in
that class may be calculated twice.
This patch calculate max objects of zspage at the begin, and pass the
value to can_merge() to decide whether the class can be merged.
Also this patch remove function get_maxobj_per_zspage(), as there is no
other place to call this function.

With node-lru, if there are enough reclaimable pages in highmem but
nothing in lowmem, VM can try to shrink inactive list although the
requested zone is lowmem.
The problem is that if the inactive list is full of highmem pages then a
direct reclaimer searching for a lowmem page waste CPU scanning
uselessly. It just burns out CPU. Even, many direct reclaimers are
stalled by too_many_isolated if lots of parallel reclaimer are going on
although there are no reclaimable memory in inactive list.
I tried the experiment 4 times in 32bit 2G 8 CPU KVM machine to get
elapsed time.

Page reclaim determines whether a pgdat is unreclaimable by examining
how many pages have been scanned since a page was freed and comparing
that to the LRU sizes. Skipped pages are not reclaim candidates but
contribute to scanned. This can prematurely mark a pgdat as
unreclaimable and trigger an OOM kill.
This patch accounts for skipped pages as a partial scan so that an
unreclaimable pgdat will still be marked as such but by scaling the cost
of a skip, it'll avoid the pgdat being marked prematurely.

The problem is due to the active deactivation logic in
inactive_list_is_low:
Node 0 active_anon:404412kB inactive_anon:409040kB
IOW, (inactive_anon of node * inactive_ratio > active_anon of node) due
to highmem anonymous stat so VM never deactivates normal zone's
anonymous pages.
This patch is a modified version of Minchan's original solution but
based upon it. The problem with Minchan's patch is that any low zone
with an imbalanced list could force a rotation.
In this patch, a zone-constrained global reclaim will rotate the list if
the inactive/active ratio of all eligible zones needs to be corrected.
It is possible that higher zone pages will be initially rotated
prematurely but this is the safer choice to maintain overall LRU age.

If per-zone LRU accounting is available then there is no point
approximating whether reclaim and compaction should retry based on pgdat
statistics. This is effectively a revert of "mm, vmstat: remove zone
and node double accounting by approximating retries" with the difference
that inactive/active stats are still available. This preserves the
history of why the approximation was retried and why it had to be
reverted to handle OOM kills on 32-bit systems.

With node-lru, the locking is based on the pgdat. As Minchan pointed

LRU list contents and counts are updated separately. Counts are updated
before pages are added to the LRU and updated after pages are removed.
The warning above is from a check in mem_cgroup_update_lru_size that
ensures that list sizes of zero are empty.
The problem is that node-lru needs to account for highmem pages if
CONFIG_HIGHMEM is set. One impact of the implementation is that the
sizes are updated in multiple passes when pages from multiple zones were
isolated. This happens whether HIGHMEM is set or not. When multiple
zones are isolated, it's possible for a debugging check in memcg to be
tripped.
This patch forces all the zone counts to be updated before the memcg
function is called.
