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

Print nr_reserved_highatomic in show_free_areas, because when alloc_harder
is false, this value will be subtracted from the free_pages in
__zone_watermark_ok. Printing this value can help analyze memory
allocaction failure issues.

Both the percpu_pagelist_fraction sysctl handler and memory hotplug have
a common requirement of updating the pcpu page allocation batch and high
values. Split the relevant helper to share common code.
No functional change.

HugeTLB helper alloc_gigantic_page() implements fairly generic
allocation method where it scans over various zones looking for a large
contiguous pfn range before trying to allocate it with
alloc_contig_range().
Other than deriving the requested order from 'struct hstate', there is
nothing HugeTLB specific in there. This can be made available for
general use to allocate contiguous memory which could not have been
allocated through the buddy allocator.
alloc_gigantic_page() has been split carving out actual allocation
method which is then made available via new alloc_contig_pages() helper
wrapped under CONFIG_CONTIG_ALLOC. All references to 'gigantic' have
been replaced with more generic term 'contig'. Allocated pages here
should be freed with free_contig_range() or by calling __free_page() on
each allocated page.

We have two types of users of page isolation:
1. Memory offlining: Offline memory so it can be unplugged. Memory
won't be touched.
2. Memory allocation: Allocate memory (e.g., alloc_contig_range()) to
become the owner of the memory and make use of
it.
For example, in case we want to offline memory, we can ignore (skip
over) PageHWPoison() pages, as the memory won't get used. We can allow
to offline memory. In contrast, we don't want to allow to allocate such
memory.
Let's generalize the approach so we can special case other types of
pages we want to skip over in case we offline memory. While at it, also
pass the same flags to test_pages_isolated().

Patch series "mm: Memory offlining + page isolation cleanups", v2.
This patch (of 2):
We call __offline_isolated_pages() from __offline_pages() after all
pages were isolated and are either free (PageBuddy()) or PageHWPoison.
Nothing can stop us from offlining memory at this point.
In __offline_isolated_pages() we first set all affected memory sections
offline (offline_mem_sections(pfn, end_pfn)), to mark the memmap as
invalid (pfn_to_online_page() will no longer succeed), and then walk
over all pages to pull the free pages from the free lists (to the
isolated free lists, to be precise).
Note that re-onlining a memory block will result in the whole memmap
getting reinitialized, overwriting any old state. We already poision
the memmap when offlining is complete to find any access to
stale/uninitialized memmaps.
So, setting the pages PageReserved() is not helpful. The memap is
marked offline and all pageblocks are isolated. As soon as offline, the
memmap is stale either way.
This looks like a leftover from ancient times where we initialized the
memmap when adding memory and not when onlining it (the pages were set
PageReserved so re-onling would work as expected).

While investigating a bug related to higher atomic allocation failures,
we noticed the failure warnings positively drowning the console, and in
our case trigger lockup warnings because of a serial console too slow to
handle all that output.
But even if we had a faster console, it's unclear what additional
information the current level of repetition provides.
Allocation failures happen for three reasons: The machine is OOM, the VM
is failing to handle reasonable requests, or somebody is making
unreasonable requests (and didn't acknowledge their opportunism with
__GFP_NOWARN). Having the memory dump, a callstack, and the ratelimit
stats on skipped failure warnings should provide enough information to
let users/admins/developers know whether something is wrong and point
them in the right direction for debugging, bpftracing etc.
Limit allocation failure warnings to one spew every ten seconds.

Deferred memory initialisation updates zone->managed_pages during the
initialisation phase but before that finishes, the per-cpu page
allocator (pcpu) calculates the number of pages allocated/freed in
batches as well as the maximum number of pages allowed on a per-cpu
list. As zone->managed_pages is not up to date yet, the pcpu
initialisation calculates inappropriately low batch and high values.
This increases zone lock contention quite severely in some cases with
the degree of severity depending on how many CPUs share a local zone and
the size of the zone. A private report indicated that kernel build
times were excessive with extremely high system CPU usage. A perf
profile indicated that a large chunk of time was lost on zone->lock
contention.
This patch recalculates the pcpu batch and high values after deferred
initialisation completes for every populated zone in the system. It was
tested on a 2-socket AMD EPYC 2 machine using a kernel compilation
workload -- allmodconfig and all available CPUs.
mmtests configuration: config-workload-kernbench-max Configuration was
modified to build on a fresh XFS partition.

Commit b39d0ee2632d ("mm, page_alloc: avoid expensive reclaim when
compaction may not succeed") has chnaged the allocator to bail out from
the allocator early to prevent from a potentially excessive memory
reclaim. __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL is designed to retry the allocation,
reclaim and compaction loop as long as there is a reasonable chance to
make forward progress. Neither COMPACT_SKIPPED nor COMPACT_DEFERRED at
the INIT_COMPACT_PRIORITY compaction attempt gives this feedback.
The most obvious affected subsystem is hugetlbfs which allocates huge
pages based on an admin request (or via admin configured overcommit). I
have done a simple test which tries to allocate half of the memory for
hugetlb pages while the memory is full of a clean page cache. This is
not an unusual situation because we try to cache as much of the memory
as possible and sysctl/sysfs interface to allocate huge pages is there
for flexibility to allocate hugetlb pages at any time.
System has 1GB of RAM and we are requesting 515MB worth of hugetlb pages
after the memory is prefilled by a clean page cache:
root@test1:~# cat hugetlb_test.sh
set -x
echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory
dd if=/mnt/data/file-1G of=/dev/null bs=$((4<<10))

The success rate went down by factor of 20!
Although hugetlb allocation requests might fail and it is reasonable to
expect them to under extremely fragmented memory or when the memory is
under a heavy pressure but the above situation is not that case.
Fix the regression by reverting back to the previous behavior for
__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL requests and disable the beail out heuristic for
those requests.
Mike said:
: hugetlbfs allocations are commonly done via sysctl/sysfs shortly after
: boot where this may not be as much of an issue. However, I am aware of at
: least three use cases where allocations are made after the system has been
: up and running for quite some time:
:
: - DB reconfiguration. If sysctl/sysfs fails to get required number of
: huge pages, system is rebooted to perform allocation after boot.
:
: - VM provisioning. If unable get required number of huge pages, fall
: back to base pages.
:
: - An application that does not preallocate pool, but rather allocates
: pages at fault time for optimal NUMA locality.
:
: In all cases, I would expect b39d0ee2632d to cause regressions and
: noticable behavior changes.
:
: My quick/limited testing in
: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/3468b605-a3a9-6978-9699-57c52a90bd7e@oracle.com
: was insufficient. It was also mentioned that if something like
: b39d0ee2632d went forward, I would like exemptions for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL
: requests as in this patch.

Merge hugepage allocation updates from David Rientjes:
"We (mostly Linus, Andrea, and myself) have been discussing offlist how
to implement a sane default allocation strategy for hugepages on NUMA
platforms.
With these reverts in place, the page allocator will happily allocate
a remote hugepage immediately rather than try to make a local hugepage
available. This incurs a substantial performance degradation when
memory compaction would have otherwise made a local hugepage
available.
This series reverts those reverts and attempts to propose a more sane
default allocation strategy specifically for hugepages. Andrea
acknowledges this is likely to fix the swap storms that he originally
reported that resulted in the patches that removed __GFP_THISNODE from
hugepage allocations.
The immediate goal is to return 5.3 to the behavior the kernel has
implemented over the past several years so that remote hugepages are
not immediately allocated when local hugepages could have been made
available because the increased access latency is untenable.
The next goal is to introduce a sane default allocation strategy for
hugepages allocations in general regardless of the configuration of
the system so that we prevent thrashing of local memory when
compaction is unlikely to succeed and can prefer remote hugepages over
remote native pages when the local node is low on memory."
Note on timing: this reverts the hugepage VM behavior changes that got
introduced fairly late in the 5.3 cycle, and that fixed a huge
performance regression for certain loads that had been around since
4.18.
Andrea had this note:
"The regression of 4.18 was that it was taking hours to start a VM
where 3.10 was only taking a few seconds, I reported all the details
on lkml when it was finally tracked down in August 2018.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20180820032640.9896-2-aarcange@redhat.com/
__GFP_THISNODE in MADV_HUGEPAGE made the above enterprise vfio
workload degrade like in the "current upstream" above. And it still
would have been that bad as above until 5.3-rc5"
where the bad behavior ends up happening as you fill up a local node,
and without that change, you'd get into the nasty swap storm behavior
due to compaction working overtime to make room for more memory on the
nodes.
As a result 5.3 got the two performance fix reverts in rc5.
However, David Rientjes then noted that those performance fixes in turn
regressed performance for other loads - although not quite to the same
degree. He suggested reverting the reverts and instead replacing them
with two small changes to how hugepage allocations are done (patch
descriptions rephrased by me):
- "avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed": just admit
that the allocation failed when you're trying to allocate a huge-page
and compaction wasn't successful.
- "allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised": when that
node-local huge-page allocation failed, retry without forcing the
local node.
but by then I judged it too late to replace the fixes for a 5.3 release.
So 5.3 was released with behavior that harked back to the pre-4.18 logic.
But now we're in the merge window for 5.4, and we can see if this
alternate model fixes not just the horrendous swap storm behavior, but
also restores the performance regression that the late reverts caused.
Fingers crossed.

Memory compaction has a couple significant drawbacks as the allocation
order increases, specifically:
- isolate_freepages() is responsible for finding free pages to use as
migration targets and is implemented as a linear scan of memory
starting at the end of a zone,
- failing order-0 watermark checks in memory compaction does not account
for how far below the watermarks the zone actually is: to enable
migration, there must be *some* free memory available. Per the above,
watermarks are not always suffficient if isolate_freepages() cannot
find the free memory but it could require hundreds of MBs of reclaim to
even reach this threshold (read: potentially very expensive reclaim with
no indication compaction can be successful), and
- if compaction at this order has failed recently so that it does not even
run as a result of deferred compaction, looping through reclaim can often
be pointless.
For hugepage allocations, these are quite substantial drawbacks because
these are very high order allocations (order-9 on x86) and falling back to
doing reclaim can potentially be *very* expensive without any indication
that compaction would even be successful.
Reclaim itself is unlikely to free entire pageblocks and certainly no
reliance should be put on it to do so in isolation (recall lumpy reclaim).
This means we should avoid reclaim and simply fail hugepage allocation if
compaction is deferred.
It is also not helpful to thrash a zone by doing excessive reclaim if
compaction may not be able to access that memory. If order-0 watermarks
fail and the allocation order is sufficiently large, it is likely better
to fail the allocation rather than thrashing the zone.

A later patch makes THP deferred split shrinker memcg aware, but it needs
page->mem_cgroup information in THP destructor, which is called after
mem_cgroup_uncharge() now.
So move mem_cgroup_uncharge() from __page_cache_release() to compound page
destructor, which is called by both THP and other compound pages except
HugeTLB. And call it in __put_single_page() for single order page.

Patch series "Make deferred split shrinker memcg aware", v6.
Currently THP deferred split shrinker is not memcg aware, this may cause
premature OOM with some configuration. For example the below test would
run into premature OOM easily:
$ cgcreate -g memory:thp
$ echo 4G > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/thp/memory/limit_in_bytes
$ cgexec -g memory:thp transhuge-stress 4000
transhuge-stress comes from kernel selftest.
It is easy to hit OOM, but there are still a lot THP on the deferred split
queue, memcg direct reclaim can't touch them since the deferred split
shrinker is not memcg aware.
Convert deferred split shrinker memcg aware by introducing per memcg
deferred split queue. The THP should be on either per node or per memcg
deferred split queue if it belongs to a memcg. When the page is
immigrated to the other memcg, it will be immigrated to the target memcg's
deferred split queue too.
Reuse the second tail page's deferred_list for per memcg list since the
same THP can't be on multiple deferred split queues.
Make deferred split shrinker not depend on memcg kmem since it is not
slab. It doesn't make sense to not shrink THP even though memcg kmem is
disabled.
With the above change the test demonstrated above doesn't trigger OOM even
though with cgroup.memory=nokmem.
This patch (of 4):
Put split_queue, split_queue_lock and split_queue_len into a struct in
order to reduce code duplication when we convert deferred_split to memcg
aware in the later patches.

Mike Kravetz reports that "hugetlb allocations could stall for minutes or
hours when should_compact_retry() would return true more often then it
should. Specifically, this was in the case where compact_result was
COMPACT_DEFERRED and COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED and no progress was being
made."
The problem is that the compaction_withdrawn() test in
should_compact_retry() includes compaction outcomes that are only possible
on low compaction priority, and results in a retry without increasing the
priority. This may result in furter reclaim, and more incomplete
compaction attempts.
With this patch, compaction priority is raised when possible, or
should_compact_retry() returns false.
The COMPACT_SKIPPED result doesn't really fit together with the other
outcomes in compaction_withdrawn(), as that's a result caused by
insufficient order-0 pages, not due to low compaction priority. With this
patch, it is moved to a new compaction_needs_reclaim() function, and for
that outcome we keep the current logic of retrying if it looks like
reclaim will be able to help.

Pull hmm updates from Jason Gunthorpe:
"This is more cleanup and consolidation of the hmm APIs and the very
strongly related mmu_notifier interfaces. Many places across the tree
using these interfaces are touched in the process. Beyond that a
cleanup to the page walker API and a few memremap related changes
round out the series:
- General improvement of hmm_range_fault() and related APIs, more
documentation, bug fixes from testing, API simplification &
consolidation, and unused API removal
- Simplify the hmm related kconfigs to HMM_MIRROR and DEVICE_PRIVATE,
and make them internal kconfig selects
- Hoist a lot of code related to mmu notifier attachment out of
drivers by using a refcount get/put attachment idiom and remove the
convoluted mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release() and related APIs.
- General API improvement for the migrate_vma API and revision of its
only user in nouveau
- Annotate mmu_notifiers with lockdep and sleeping region debugging
Two series unrelated to HMM or mmu_notifiers came along due to

SD_BALANCE_{FORK,EXEC} and SD_WAKE_AFFINE are stripped in sd_init()
for any sched domains with a NUMA distance greater than 2 hops
(RECLAIM_DISTANCE). The idea being that it's expensive to balance
across domains that far apart.
However, as is rather unfortunately explained in:
commit 32e45ff43eaf ("mm: increase RECLAIM_DISTANCE to 30")
the value for RECLAIM_DISTANCE is based on node distance tables from
2011-era hardware.
Current AMD EPYC machines have the following NUMA node distances:
node distances:
node 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
0: 10 16 16 16 32 32 32 32
1: 16 10 16 16 32 32 32 32
2: 16 16 10 16 32 32 32 32
3: 16 16 16 10 32 32 32 32
4: 32 32 32 32 10 16 16 16
5: 32 32 32 32 16 10 16 16
6: 32 32 32 32 16 16 10 16
7: 32 32 32 32 16 16 16 10
where 2 hops is 32.
The result is that the scheduler fails to load balance properly across
NUMA nodes on different sockets -- 2 hops apart.
For example, pinning 16 busy threads to NUMA nodes 0 (CPUs 0-7) and 4
(CPUs 32-39) like so,
$ numactl -C 0-7,32-39 ./spinner 16
causes all threads to fork and remain on node 0 until the active
balancer kicks in after a few seconds and forcibly moves some threads
to node 4.
Override node_reclaim_distance for AMD Zen.

After commit 907ec5fca3dc ("mm: zero remaining unavailable struct
pages"), struct page of reserved memory is zeroed. This causes
page->flags to be 0 and fixes issues related to reading
/proc/kpageflags, for example, of reserved memory.
The VM_BUG_ON() in move_freepages_block(), however, assumes that
page_zone() is meaningful even for reserved memory. That assumption is
no longer true after the aforementioned commit.
There's no reason why move_freepages_block() should be testing the
legitimacy of page_zone() for reserved memory; its scope is limited only
to pages on the zone's freelist.
Note that pfn_valid() can be true for reserved memory: there is a
backing struct page. The check for page_to_nid(page) is also buggy but
reserved memory normally only appears on node 0 so the zeroing doesn't
affect this.
Move the debug checks to after verifying PageBuddy is true. This
isolates the scope of the checks to only be for buddy pages which are on
the zone's freelist which move_freepages_block() is operating on. In
this case, an incorrect node or zone is a bug worthy of being warned
about (and the examination of struct page is acceptable bcause this
memory is not reserved).
Why does move_freepages_block() gets called on reserved memory? It's
simply math after finding a valid free page from the per-zone free area
to use as fallback. We find the beginning and end of the pageblock of
the valid page and that can bring us into memory that was reserved per
the e820. pfn_valid() is still true (it's backed by a struct page), but
since it's zero'd we shouldn't make any inferences here about comparing
its node or zone. The current node check just happens to succeed most
of the time by luck because reserved memory typically appears on node 0.
The fix here is to validate that we actually have buddy pages before
testing if there's any type of zone or node strangeness going on.
We noticed it almost immediately after bringing 907ec5fca3dc in on
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM builds. It depends on finding specific free pages in
the per-zone free area where the math in move_freepages() will bring the
start or end pfn into reserved memory and wanting to claim that entire
pageblock as a new migratetype. So the path will be rare, require
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, and require fallback to a different migratetype.
Some struct pages were already zeroed from reserve pages before
907ec5fca3c so it theoretically could trigger before this commit. I
think it's rare enough under a config option that most people don't run
that others may not have noticed. I wouldn't argue against a stable tag
and the backport should be easy enough, but probably wouldn't single out
a commit that this is fixing.
Mel said:
: The overhead of the debugging check is higher with this patch although
: it'll only affect debug builds and the path is not particularly hot.
: If this was a concern, I think it would be reasonable to simply remove
: the debugging check as the zone boundaries are checked in
: move_freepages_block and we never expect a zone/node to be smaller than
: a pageblock and stuck in the middle of another zone.

The libnvdimm sub-system has suffered a series of hacks and broken
workarounds for the memory-hotplug implementation's awkward
section-aligned (128MB) granularity.
For example the following backtrace is emitted when attempting
arch_add_memory() with physical address ranges that intersect 'System

nvdimm_bus_probe+0x66/0x160 [libnvdimm]
It was discovered that the problem goes beyond RAM vs PMEM collisions as
some platform produce PMEM vs PMEM collisions within a given section.
The libnvdimm workaround for that case revealed that the libnvdimm
section-alignment-padding implementation has been broken for a long
while.
A fix for that long-standing breakage introduces as many problems as it
solves as it would require a backward-incompatible change to the
namespace metadata interpretation. Instead of that dubious route [1],
address the root problem in the memory-hotplug implementation.
Note that EEXIST is no longer treated as success as that is how
sparse_add_section() reports subsection collisions, it was also obviated
by recent changes to perform the request_region() for 'System RAM'
before arch_add_memory() in the add_memory() sequence.

Prepare for hot{plug,remove} of sub-ranges of a section by tracking a
sub-section active bitmask, each bit representing a PMD_SIZE span of the
architecture's memory hotplug section size.
The implications of a partially populated section is that pfn_valid()
needs to go beyond a valid_section() check and either determine that the
section is an "early section", or read the sub-section active ranges
from the bitmask. The expectation is that the bitmask (subsection_map)
fits in the same cacheline as the valid_section() / early_section()
data, so the incremental performance overhead to pfn_valid() should be
negligible.
The rationale for using early_section() to short-ciruit the
subsection_map check is that there are legacy code paths that use
pfn_valid() at section granularity before validating the pfn against
pgdat data. So, the early_section() check allows those traditional
assumptions to persist while also permitting subsection_map to tell the
truth for purposes of populating the unused portions of early sections
with PMEM and other ZONE_DEVICE mappings.
