Some comments for MADV_FREE is revised and added to help people understand
the MADV_FREE code, especially the page flag, PG_swapbacked. This makes
page_is_file_cache() isn't consistent with its comments. So the function
is renamed to page_is_file_lru() to make them consistent again. All these
are put in one patch as one logical change.

Since commit 5bbe3547aa ("mm: allow compaction of unevictable pages")
it is allowed to examine mlocked pages and compact them by default. On
-RT even minor pagefaults are problematic because it may take a few 100us
to resolve them and until then the task is blocked.
Make compact_unevictable_allowed = 0 default and issue a warning on RT if
it is changed.

Dan reports:
The patch 5e1f0f098b46: "mm, compaction: capture a page under direct

mm/compaction.c:2321 compact_zone_order()
error: we previously assumed 'capture' could be null (see line 2313)
mm/compaction.c
2288 static enum compact_result compact_zone_order(struct zone *zone, int order,
2289 gfp_t gfp_mask, enum compact_priority prio,
2290 unsigned int alloc_flags, int classzone_idx,
2291 struct page **capture)
^^^^^^^
2313 if (capture)
^^^^^^^

2314 current->capture_control = &capc;

2320
2321 *capture = capc.page;
^^^^^^^^
Unchecked dereference.
2322 current->capture_control = NULL;
2323
In practice this is not an issue, as the only caller path passes non-NULL
capture:
__alloc_pages_direct_compact()
struct page *page = NULL;
try_to_compact_pages(capture = &page);
compact_zone_order(capture = capture);
So let's remove the unnecessary check, which should also make Smatch happy.

The code to implement THP migrations already exists, and the code for CMA
to clear out a region of memory already exists.
Only a few small tweaks are needed to allow CMA to move THP memory when
attempting an allocation from alloc_contig_range.
With these changes, migrating THPs from a CMA area works when allocating a
1GB hugepage from CMA memory.

Florian and Dave reported [1] a NULL pointer dereference in
__reset_isolation_pfn(). While the exact cause is unclear, staring at
the code revealed two bugs, which might be related.
One bug is that if zone starts in the middle of pageblock, block_page
might correspond to different pfn than block_pfn, and then the
pfn_valid_within() checks will check different pfn's than those accessed
via struct page. This might result in acessing an unitialized page in
CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE configs.
The other bug is that end_page refers to the first page of next
pageblock and not last page of current pageblock. The online and valid
check is then wrong and with sections, the while (page < end_page) loop
might wander off actual struct page arrays.

"howaboutsynergy" reported via kernel buzilla number 204165 that
compact_zone_order was consuming 100% CPU during a stress test for

Note that compaction is entered in rapid succession while scanning and
isolating nothing. The problem is that when a task that is compacting
receives a fatal signal, it retries indefinitely instead of exiting
while making no progress as a fatal signal is pending.
It's not easy to trigger this condition although enabling zswap helps on
the basis that the timing is altered. A very small window has to be hit
for the problem to occur (signal delivered while compacting and
isolating a PFN for migration that is not aligned to SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX).
This was reproduced locally -- 16G single socket system, 8G swap, 30%
zswap configured, vm-bytes 22000000000 using Colin Kings stress-ng
implementation from github running in a loop until the problem hits).
Tracing recorded the problem occurring almost 200K times in a short
window. With this patch, the problem hit 4 times but the task existed
normally instead of consuming CPU.
This problem has existed for some time but it was made worse by commit
cf66f0700c ("mm, compaction: do not consider a need to reschedule as
contention"). Before that commit, if the same condition was hit then
locks would be quickly contended and compaction would exit that way.

When we have holes in a normal memory zone, we could endup having
cached_migrate_pfns which may not necessarily be valid, under heavy memory
pressure with swapping enabled ( via __reset_isolation_suitable(),
triggered by kswapd).
Later if we fail to find a page via fast_isolate_freepages(), we may end
up using the migrate_pfn we started the search with, as valid page. This
could lead to accessing NULL pointer derefernces like below, due to an
invalid mem_section pointer.

There is no reproducer and it is difficult to hit -- 1 crash every few
days. The issue is very similar to the fix in commit 6b0868c820
("mm/compaction.c: correct zone boundary handling when resetting pageblock
skip hints"). When isolating free pages around a target pageblock, the
boundary handling is off by one and can stray into the next pageblock.
Triggering the syzbot error requires that the end of pageblock is section
or zone aligned, and that the next section is unpopulated.
A more subtle consequence of the bug is that pageblocks were being
improperly used as migration targets which potentially hurts fragmentation
avoidance in the long-term one page at a time.
A debugging patch revealed that it's definitely possible to stray outside
of a pageblock which is not intended. While syzbot cannot be used to
verify this patch, it was confirmed that the debugging warning no longer
triggers with this patch applied. It has also been confirmed that the THP
allocation stress tests are not degraded by this patch.

He bisected it down to e332f741a8 ("mm, compaction: be selective about
what pageblocks to clear skip hints"). The problem is that the patch in
question was sloppy with respect to the handling of zone boundaries. In
some instances, it was possible for PFNs outside of a zone to be examined
and if those were not properly initialised or poisoned then it would
trigger the VM_BUG_ON. This patch corrects the zone boundary issues when
resetting pageblock skip hints and Mikhail reported that the bug did not
trigger after 30 hours of testing.

We have common pattern to access lru_lock from a page pointer:

Which is silly, because it unfolds to this:
&NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->node_zones[page_zonenum(page)]->zone_pgdat->lru_lock
while we can simply do
&NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->lru_lock
Remove zone_lru_lock() function, since it's only complicate things. Use
'page_pgdat(page)->lru_lock' pattern instead.

Compaction is inherently race-prone as a suitable page freed during
compaction can be allocated by any parallel task. This patch uses a
capture_control structure to isolate a page immediately when it is freed
by a direct compactor in the slow path of the page allocator. The
intent is to avoid redundant scanning.

Latency is only moderately affected but the devil is in the details. A
closer examination indicates that base page fault latency is reduced but
latency of huge pages is increased as it takes creater care to succeed.
Part of the "problem" is that allocation success rates are close to 100%

Pageblock hints are cleared when compaction restarts or kswapd makes
enough progress that it can sleep but it's over-eager in that the bit is
cleared for migration sources with no LRU pages and migration targets
with no free pages. As pageblock skip hint flushes are relatively rare
and out-of-band with respect to kswapd, this patch makes a few more
expensive checks to see if it's appropriate to even clear the bit.
Every pageblock that is not cleared will avoid 512 pages being scanned
unnecessarily on x86-64.
The impact is variable with different workloads showing small
differences in latency, success rates and scan rates. This is expected
as clearing the hints is not that common but doing a small amount of
work out-of-band to avoid a large amount of work in-band later is
generally a good thing.

Once fast searching finishes, there is a possibility that the linear
scanner is scanning full blocks found by the fast scanner earlier. This
patch uses an adaptive stride to sample pageblocks for free pages. The
more consecutive full pageblocks encountered, the larger the stride
until a pageblock with free pages is found. The scanners might meet
slightly sooner but it is an acceptable risk given that the search of
the free lists may still encounter the pages and adjust the cached PFN
of the free scanner accordingly.

As compaction proceeds and creates high-order blocks, the free list
search gets less efficient as the larger blocks are used as compaction
targets. Eventually, the larger blocks will be behind the migration
scanner for partially migrated pageblocks and the search fails. This
patch round-robins what orders are searched so that larger blocks can be
ignored and find smaller blocks that can be used as migration targets.
The overall impact was small on 1-socket but it avoids corner cases
where the migration/free scanners meet prematurely or situations where
many of the pageblocks encountered by the free scanner are almost full
instead of being properly packed. Previous testing had indicated that
without this patch there were occasional large spikes in the free
scanner without this patch.

The fast isolation of free pages allows the cached PFN of the free
scanner to advance faster than necessary depending on the contents of
the free list. The key is that fast_isolate_freepages() can update
zone->compact_cached_free_pfn via isolate_freepages_block(). When the
fast search fails, the linear scan can start from a point that has
skipped valid migration targets, particularly pageblocks with just
low-order free pages. This can cause the migration source/target
scanners to meet prematurely causing a reset.
This patch starts by avoiding an update of the pageblock skip
information and cached PFN from isolate_freepages_block() and puts the
responsibility of updating that information in the callers. The fast
scanner will update the cached PFN if and only if it finds a block that
is higher than the existing cached PFN and sets the skip if the
pageblock is full or nearly full. The linear scanner will update
skipped information and the cached PFN only when a block is completely
scanned. The total impact is that the free scanner advances more slowly
as it is primarily driven by the linear scanner instead of the fast
search.

The impact to latency is higher than the last version but it appears to
be due to a slight increase in the free scan rates which is a potential
side-effect of the patch. However, this is necessary for later patches
that are more careful about how pageblocks are treated as earlier
iterations of those patches hit corner cases where the restarts were
punishing and very visible.

Scanning on large machines can take a considerable length of time and
eventually need to be rescheduled. This is treated as an abort event
but that's not appropriate as the attempt is likely to be retried after
making numerous checks and taking another cycle through the page
allocator. This patch will check the need to reschedule if necessary
but continue the scanning.
The main benefit is reduced scanning when compaction is taking a long
time or the machine is over-saturated. It also avoids an unnecessary
exit of compaction that ends up being retried by the page allocator in
the outer loop.

documented sense. Rename to compact_check_resched and update the

Migrate has separate cached PFNs for ASYNC and SYNC* migration on the
basis that some migrations will fail in ASYNC mode. However, if the
cached PFNs match at the start of scanning and pageblocks are skipped
due to having no isolation candidates, then the sync state does not
matter. This patch keeps matching cached PFNs in sync until a pageblock
with isolation candidates is found.
The actual benefit is marginal given that the sync scanner following the
async scanner will often skip a number of pageblocks but it's useless
work. Any benefit depends heavily on whether the scanners restarted
recently.

When scanning for sources or targets, PageCompound is checked for huge
pages as they can be skipped quickly but it happens relatively late
after a lot of setup and checking. This patch short-cuts the check to
make it earlier. It might still change when the lock is acquired but
this has less overhead overall. The free scanner advances but the
migration scanner does not. Typically the free scanner encounters more
movable blocks that change state over the lifetime of the system and
also tends to scan more aggressively as it's actively filling its
portion of the physical address space with data. This could change in
the future but for the moment, this worked better in practice and
incurred fewer scan restarts.
The impact on latency and allocation success rates is marginal but the
free scan rates are reduced by 15% and system CPU usage is reduced by
3.3%. The 2-socket results are not materially different.

Async migration aborts on spinlock contention but contention can be high
when there are multiple compaction attempts and kswapd is active. The
consequence is that the migration scanners move forward uselessly while
still contending on locks for longer while leaving suitable migration
sources behind.
This patch will acquire the lock but track when contention occurs. When
it does, the current pageblock will finish as compaction may succeed for
that block and then abort. This will have a variable impact on latency
as in some cases useless scanning is avoided (reduces latency) but a
lock will be contended (increase latency) or a single contended
pageblock is scanned that would otherwise have been skipped (increase
latency).

Pageblocks are marked for skip when no pages are isolated after a scan.
However, it's possible to hit corner cases where the migration scanner
gets stuck near the boundary between the source and target scanner. Due
to pages being migrated in blocks of COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX, pages that are
migrated can be reallocated before the pageblock is complete. The
pageblock is not necessarily skipped so it can be rescanned multiple
times. Similarly, a pageblock with some dirty/writeback pages may fail
to migrate and be rescanned until writeback completes which is wasteful.
This patch tracks if a pageblock is being rescanned. If so, then the
entire pageblock will be migrated as one operation. This narrows the
race window during which pages can be reallocated during migration.
Secondly, if there are pages that cannot be isolated then the pageblock
will still be fully scanned and marked for skipping. On the second
rescan, the pageblock skip is set and the migration scanner makes
progress.

Negligible difference but this was likely a case when the specific
corner case was not hit. A previous run of the same patch based on an
earlier iteration of the series showed large differences where migration
rates could be halved when the corner case was hit.
The specific corner case where migration scan rates go through the roof
was due to a dirty/writeback pageblock located at the boundary of the
migration/free scanner did not happen in this case. When it does
happen, the scan rates multipled by massive margins.

Similar to the migration scanner, this patch uses the free lists to
quickly locate a migration target. The search is different in that
lower orders will be searched for a suitable high PFN if necessary but
the search is still bound. This is justified on the grounds that the
free scanner typically scans linearly much more than the migration
scanner.
If a free page is found, it is isolated and compaction continues if
enough pages were isolated. For SYNC* scanning, the full pageblock is
scanned for any remaining free pages so that is can be marked for
skipping in the near future.

Due to either a fast search of the free list or a linear scan, it is
possible for multiple compaction instances to pick the same pageblock
for migration. This is lucky for one scanner and increased scanning for
all the others. It also allows a race between requests on which first
allocates the resulting free block.
This patch tests and updates the pageblock skip for the migration
scanner carefully. When isolating a block, it will check and skip if
the block is already in use. Once the zone lock is acquired, it will be
rechecked so that only one scanner can set the pageblock skip for
exclusive use. Any scanner contending will continue with a linear scan.
The skip bit is still set if no pages can be isolated in a range. While
this may result in redundant scanning, it avoids unnecessarily acquiring
the zone lock when there are no suitable migration sources.

The migration scanner is a linear scan of a zone with a potentiall large
search space. Furthermore, many pageblocks are unusable such as those
filled with reserved pages or partially filled with pages that cannot
migrate. These still get scanned in the common case of allocating a THP
and the cost accumulates.
The patch uses a partial search of the free lists to locate a migration
source candidate that is marked as MOVABLE when allocating a THP. It
prefers picking a block with a larger number of free pages already on
the basis that there are fewer pages to migrate to free the entire
block. The lowest PFN found during searches is tracked as the basis of
the start for the linear search after the first search of the free list
fails. After the search, the free list is shuffled so that the next
search will not encounter the same page. If the search fails then the
subsequent searches will be shorter and the linear scanner is used.
If this search fails, or if the request is for a small or
unmovable/reclaimable allocation then the linear scanner is still used.
It is somewhat pointless to use the list search in those cases. Small
free pages must be used for the search and there is no guarantee that
movable pages are located within that block that are contiguous.

When compaction is finishing, it uses a flag to ensure the pageblock is
complete but it makes sense to always complete migration of a pageblock.
Minimally, skip information is based on a pageblock and partially
scanned pageblocks may incur more scanning in the future. The pageblock
skip handling also becomes more strict later in the series and the hint
is more useful if a complete pageblock was always scanned.
The potentially impacts latency as more scanning is done but it's not a
consistent win or loss as the scanning is not always a high percentage
of the pageblock and sometimes it is offset by future reductions in
scanning. Hence, the results are not presented this time due to a
misleading mix of gains/losses without any clear pattern. However, full
scanning of the pageblock is important for later patches.

When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard
to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close
the system is to lockups and OOM kills. In particular, when machines work
multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency
and throughput on the individual job can be enormous.
In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual
job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way
to quantify resource pressure in the system.
A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that
expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO,
respectively. Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay
accounting delays:
cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU
memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache
io: tasks are waiting for io completions
These percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages,
and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss
incurred by resource overcommit. They can also indicate when the system
is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs.
To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU
and samples the time they spend in stall states. Every 2 seconds, the
samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to
eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of
walltime. A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s,
1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).

The reason for this error is that the span of MOVABLE_ZONE is extended
to whole node span for future CMA initialization, and, normal memory is
wrongly freed here. I submitted the fix and it seems to work, but,
another problem happened.
It's so late time to fix the later problem so I decide to reverting the

No allocation callback is using this argument anymore. new_page_node
used to use this parameter to convey node_id resp. migration error up
to move_pages code (do_move_page_to_node_array). The error status never
made it into the final status field and we have a better way to
communicate node id to the status field now. All other allocation
callbacks simply ignored the argument so we can drop it finally.

It's possible for free pages to become stranded on per-cpu pagesets
(pcps) that, if drained, could be merged with buddy pages on the zone's
free area to form large order pages, including up to MAX_ORDER.
Consider a verbose example using the tools/vm/page-types tool at the
beginning of a ZONE_NORMAL ('B' indicates a buddy page and 'S' indicates
a slab page). Pages on pcps do not have any page flags set.

The compaction migration scanner is attempting to defragment this memory
since it is at the beginning of the zone. It has done so quite well,
all movable pages have been migrated. From pfn [0x109955, 0x109fab),
there are only buddy pages and pages without flags set.
These pages may be stranded on pcps that could otherwise allow this
memory to be coalesced if freed back to the zone free area. It is
possible that some of these pages may not be on pcps and that something
has called alloc_pages() and used the memory directly, but we rely on
the absence of __GFP_MOVABLE in these cases to allocate from
MIGATE_UNMOVABLE pageblocks to try to keep these MIGRATE_MOVABLE
pageblocks as free as possible.
These buddy and pcp pages, spanning 1,621 pages, could be coalesced and
allow for three transparent hugepages to be dynamically allocated.
Running the numbers for all such spans on the system, it was found that
there were over 400 such spans of only buddy pages and pages without
flags set at the time this /proc/kpageflags sample was collected.
Without this support, there were _no_ order-9 or order-10 pages free.
When kcompactd fails to defragment memory such that a cc.order page can
be allocated, drain all pcps for the zone back to the buddy allocator so
this stranding cannot occur. Compaction for that order will
subsequently be deferred, which acts as a ratelimit on this drain.

Commit f3c931633a59 ("mm, compaction: persistently skip hugetlbfs
pageblocks") has introduced pageblock_skip_persistent() checks into
migration and free scanners, to make sure pageblocks that should be
persistently skipped are marked as such, regardless of the
ignore_skip_hint flag.
Since the previous patch introduced a new no_set_skip_hint flag, the
ignore flag no longer prevents marking pageblocks as skipped. Therefore
we can remove the special cases. The relevant pageblocks will be marked
as skipped by the common logic which marks each pageblock where no page
could be isolated. This makes the code simpler.

Pageblock skip hints were added as a heuristic for compaction, which
shares core code with CMA. Since CMA reliability would suffer from the
heuristics, compact_control flag ignore_skip_hint was added for the CMA
use case. Since 6815bf3f23 ("mm/compaction: respect ignore_skip_hint
in update_pageblock_skip") the flag also means that CMA won't *update*
the skip hints in addition to ignoring them.
Today, direct compaction can also ignore the skip hints in the last
resort attempt, but there's no reason not to set them when isolation
fails in such case. Thus, this patch splits off a new no_set_skip_hint
flag to avoid the updating, which only CMA sets. This should improve
the heuristics a bit, and allow us to simplify the persistent skip bit
handling as the next step.

pageblock_skip_persistent() checks for HugeTLB pages of pageblock order.
When clearing pageblock skip bits for compaction, the bits are not
cleared for such pageblocks, because they cannot contain base pages
suitable for migration, nor free pages to use as migration targets.
This optimization can be simply extended to all compound pages of order
equal or larger than pageblock order, because migrating such pages (if
they support it) cannot help sub-pageblock fragmentation. This includes
THP's and also gigantic HugeTLB pages, which the current implementation
doesn't persistently skip due to a strict pageblock_order equality check
and not recognizing tail pages.
While THP pages are generally less "persistent" than HugeTLB, we can
still expect that if a THP exists at the point of
__reset_isolation_suitable(), it will exist also during the subsequent
compaction run. The time difference here could be actually smaller than
between a compaction run that sets a (non-persistent) skip bit on a THP,
and the next compaction run that observes it.
