![]() When page allocation in direct reclaim path fails, the system will make one attempt to shrink per-cpu page lists and free pages from high alloc reserves. Draining per-cpu pages into buddy allocator can be a very slow operation because it's done using workqueues and the task in direct reclaim waits for all of them to finish before proceeding. Currently this time is not accounted as psi memory stall. While testing mobile devices under extreme memory pressure, when allocations are failing during direct reclaim, we notices that psi events which would be expected in such conditions were not triggered. After profiling these cases it was determined that the reason for missing psi events was that a big chunk of time spent in direct reclaim is not accounted as memory stall, therefore psi would not reach the levels at which an event is generated. Further investigation revealed that the bulk of that unaccounted time was spent inside drain_all_pages call. A typical captured case when drain_all_pages path gets activated: __alloc_pages_slowpath took 44.644.613ns __perform_reclaim took 751.668ns (1.7%) drain_all_pages took 43.887.167ns (98.3%) PSI in this case records the time spent in __perform_reclaim but ignores drain_all_pages, IOW it misses 98.3% of the time spent in __alloc_pages_slowpath. Annotate __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim in its entirety so that delays from handling page allocation failure in the direct reclaim path are accounted as memory stall.

How do I submit patches to Android Common Kernels
-
BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.
- Do not send patches upstream that contain only symbol exports. To be considered for upstream Linux,
additions of
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()
require an in-tree modular driver that uses the symbol -- so include the new driver or changes to an existing driver in the same patchset as the export. - When sending patches upstream, the commit message must contain a clear case for why the patch is needed and beneficial to the community. Enabling out-of-tree drivers or functionality is not not a persuasive case.
- Do not send patches upstream that contain only symbol exports. To be considered for upstream Linux,
additions of
-
LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.
Common Kernel patch requirements
- All patches must conform to the Linux kernel coding standards and pass
scripts/checkpatch.pl
- Patches shall not break gki_defconfig or allmodconfig builds for arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 architectures (see https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels)
- If the patch is not merged from an upstream branch, the subject must be tagged with the type of patch:
UPSTREAM:
,BACKPORT:
,FROMGIT:
,FROMLIST:
, orANDROID:
. - All patches must have a
Change-Id:
tag (see https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-changeid.html) - If an Android bug has been assigned, there must be a
Bug:
tag. - All patches must have a
Signed-off-by:
tag by the author and the submitter
Additional requirements are listed below based on patch type
Requirements for backports from mainline Linux: UPSTREAM:
, BACKPORT:
- If the patch is a cherry-pick from Linux mainline with no changes at all
- tag the patch subject with
UPSTREAM:
. - add upstream commit information with a
(cherry picked from commit ...)
line - Example:
- if the upstream commit message is
- tag the patch subject with
important patch from upstream

- If the patch requires any changes from the upstream version, tag the patch with
BACKPORT:
