Currently, we crash the kernel when a decompression failure occurs in
zswap (either because of memory corruption, or a bug in the compression
algorithm). This is overkill. We should only SIGBUS the unfortunate
process asking for the zswap entry on zswap load, and skip the corrupted
entry in zswap writeback.
See [1] for a recent upstream discussion about this.
The zswap writeback case is relatively straightforward to fix. For the
zswap_load() case, we change the return behavior:
* Return 0 on success.
* Return -ENOENT (with the folio locked) if zswap does not own the
swapped out content.
* Return -EIO if zswap owns the swapped out content, but encounters a
decompression failure for some reasons. The folio will be unlocked,
but not be marked up-to-date, which will eventually cause the process
requesting the page to SIGBUS (see the handling of not-up-to-date
folio in do_swap_page() in mm/memory.c), without crashing the kernel.
* Return -EINVAL if we encounter a large folio, as large folio should
not be swapped in while zswap is being used. Similar to the -EIO case,
we also unlock the folio but do not mark it as up-to-date to SIGBUS
the faulting process.
As a side effect, we require one extra zswap tree traversal in the load
and writeback paths. Quick benchmarking on a kernel build test shows no
performance difference:

Remove highest_bit and lowest_bit. After the HDD allocation path has been
removed, the only purpose of these two fields is to determine whether the
device is full or not, which can instead be determined by checking the
inuse_pages.

Added a new MTHP_STAT_ZSWPOUT entry to the sysfs transparent_hugepage
stats so that successful large folio zswap stores can be accounted under
the per-order sysfs "zswpout" stats:
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-*kB/stats/zswpout
Other non-zswap swap device swap-out events will be counted under
the existing sysfs "swpout" stats:
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-*kB/stats/swpout
Also, added documentation for the newly added sysfs per-order hugepage
"zswpout" stats. The documentation clarifies that only non-zswap swapouts
will be accounted in the existing "swpout" stats.

When the proportion of folios from the zeromap is small, missing their
accounting may not significantly impact profiling. However, it's easy to
construct a scenario where this becomes an issue—for example, allocating
1 GB of memory, writing zeros from userspace, followed by MADV_PAGEOUT,
and then swapping it back in. In this case, the swap-out and swap-in
counts seem to vanish into a black hole, potentially causing semantic
ambiguity.
On the other hand, Usama reported that zero-filled pages can exceed 10% in
workloads utilizing zswap, while Hailong noted that some app in Android
have more than 6% zero-filled pages. Before commit 0ca0c24e3211 ("mm:
store zero pages to be swapped out in a bitmap"), both zswap and zRAM
implemented similar optimizations, leading to these optimized-out pages
being counted in either zswap or zRAM counters (with pswpin/pswpout also
increasing for zRAM). With zeromap functioning prior to both zswap and
zRAM, userspace will no longer detect these swap-out and swap-in actions.
We have three ways to address this:
1. Introduce a dedicated counter specifically for the zeromap.
2. Use pswpin/pswpout accounting, treating the zero map as a standard
backend. This approach aligns with zRAM's current handling of
same-page fills at the device level. However, it would mean losing the
optimized-out page counters previously available in zRAM and would not
align with systems using zswap. Additionally, as noted by Nhat Pham,
pswpin/pswpout counters apply only to I/O done directly to the backend
device.
3. Count zeromap pages under zswap, aligning with system behavior when
zswap is enabled. However, this would not be consistent with zRAM, nor
would it align with systems lacking both zswap and zRAM.
Given the complications with options 2 and 3, this patch selects
option 1.
We can find these counters from /proc/vmstat (counters for the whole
system) and memcg's memory.stat (counters for the interested memcg).
For example:
$ grep -E 'swpin_zero|swpout_zero' /proc/vmstat
swpin_zero 1648
swpout_zero 33536
$ grep -E 'swpin_zero|swpout_zero' /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/memory.stat
swpin_zero 3905
swpout_zero 3985
This patch does not address any specific zeromap bug, but the missing
swpout and swpin counts for zero-filled pages can be highly confusing and
may mislead user-space agents that rely on changes in these counters as
indicators. Therefore, we add a Fixes tag to encourage the inclusion of
this counter in any kernel versions with zeromap.
Many thanks to Kanchana for the contribution of changing
count_objcg_event() to count_objcg_events() to support large folios[1],
which has now been incorporated into this patch.

In commit 246d3aa3e531 ("mm: cleanup count_mthp_stat() definition"), Ryan
Roberts has pointed out the merits of mm code that does not require THP,
to be compile-able without requiring THP ifdefs. As a step in that
direction, he has moved count_mthp_stat() to be always defined, resolving
to a no-op if THP is not defined.
Barry Song referred me to Ryan's commit when I was working on the "mm:
zswap swap-out of large folios" patch-series [1].
This patch propagates the benefits of the above change to page_io.c and
vmscan.c. As a result, there is one less reason to have the ifdef THP in
these code sections.

In proactive memory reclamation scenarios, it is necessary to estimate the
pswpin and pswpout metrics of the cgroup to determine whether to continue
reclaiming anonymous pages in the current batch. This patch will collect
these metrics and expose them.

Patch series "mm: enable large folios swap-in support", v9.
Currently, we support mTHP swapout but not swapin. This means that once
mTHP is swapped out, it will come back as small folios when swapped in.
This is particularly detrimental for devices like Android, where more than
half of the memory is in swap.
The lack of mTHP swapin functionality makes mTHP a showstopper in
scenarios that heavily rely on swap. This patchset introduces mTHP
swap-in support. It starts with synchronous devices similar to zRAM,
aiming to benefit as many users as possible with minimal changes.
This patch (of 3):
There could be a corner case where the first entry is non-zeromap, but a
subsequent entry is zeromap. In this case, we should not let
swap_read_folio_zeromap() return false since we will still read corrupted
data.
Additionally, the iteration of test_bit() is unnecessary and can be
replaced with bitmap operations, which are more efficient.
We can adopt the style of swap_pte_batch() and folio_pte_batch() to
introduce swap_zeromap_batch() which seems to provide the greatest
flexibility for the caller. This approach allows the caller to either
check if the zeromap status of all entries is consistent or determine the
number of contiguous entries with the same status.
Since swap_read_folio() can't handle reading a large folio that's
partially zeromap and partially non-zeromap, we've moved the code to
mm/swap.h so that others, like those working on swap-in, can access it.

Patch series "mm: store zero pages to be swapped out in a bitmap", v8.
As shown in the patch series that introduced the zswap same-filled
optimization [1], 10-20% of the pages stored in zswap are same-filled.
This is also observed across Meta's server fleet. By using VM counters in
swap_writepage (not included in this patchseries) it was found that less
than 1% of the same-filled pages to be swapped out are non-zero pages.
For conventional swap setup (without zswap), rather than reading/writing
these pages to flash resulting in increased I/O and flash wear, a bitmap
can be used to mark these pages as zero at write time, and the pages can
be filled at read time if the bit corresponding to the page is set.
When using zswap with swap, this also means that a zswap_entry does not
need to be allocated for zero filled pages resulting in memory savings
which would offset the memory used for the bitmap.
A similar attempt was made earlier in [2] where zswap would only track
zero-filled pages instead of same-filled. This patchseries adds
zero-filled pages optimization to swap (hence it can be used even if zswap
is disabled) and removes the same-filled code from zswap (as only 1% of
the same-filled pages are non-zero), simplifying code.

Currently, there are a couple of issues with our disk swapin tracking for
dynamic zswap shrinker heuristics:
1. We only increment the swapin counter on pivot pages. This means we
are not taking into account pages that also need to be swapped in,
but are already taken care of as part of the readahead window.
2. We are also incrementing when the pages are read from the zswap pool,
which is inaccurate.
This patch rectifies these issues by incrementing the counter whenever we
need to perform a non-zswap read. Note that we are slightly overcounting,
as a page might be read into memory by the readahead algorithm even though
it will not be neeeded by users - however, this is an acceptable
inaccuracy, as the readahead logic itself will adapt to these kind of
scenarios.
To test this change, I built the kernel under a cgroup with its memory.max
set to 2 GB:
real: 236.66s
user: 4286.06s
sys: 652.86s
swapins: 81552
For comparison, with just the new second chance algorithm, the build time
is as follows:
real: 244.85s
user: 4327.22s
sys: 664.39s
swapins: 94663
Without neither:
real: 263.89s
user: 4318.11s
sys: 673.29s
swapins: 227300.5
(average over 5 runs)
With this change, the kernel CPU time reduces by a further 1.7%, and the
real time is reduced by another 3.3%, compared to just the second chance
algorithm by itself. The swapins count also reduces by another 13.85%.
Combinng the two changes, we reduce the real time by 10.32%, kernel CPU
time by 3%, and number of swapins by 64.12%.
To gauge the new scheme's ability to offload cold data, I ran another
benchmark, in which the kernel was built under a cgroup with memory.max
set to 3 GB, but with 0.5 GB worth of cold data allocated before each
build (in a shmem file).
Under the old scheme:
real: 197.18s
user: 4365.08s
sys: 289.02s
zswpwb: 72115.2
Under the new scheme:
real: 195.8s
user: 4362.25s
sys: 290.14s
zswpwb: 87277.8
(average over 5 runs)
Notice that we actually observe a 21% increase in the number of written
back pages - so the new scheme is just as good, if not better at
offloading pages from the zswap pool when they are cold. Build time
reduces by around 0.7% as a result.

Zswap does not support storing or loading large folios. Until proper
support is added, attempts to load large folios from zswap are a bug.
For example, if a swapin fault observes that contiguous PTEs are pointing
to contiguous swap entries and tries to swap them in as a large folio,
swap_read_folio() will pass in a large folio to zswap_load(), but
zswap_load() will only effectively load the first page in the folio. If
the first page is not in zswap, the folio will be read from disk, even
though other pages may be in zswap.
In both cases, this will lead to silent data corruption. Proper support
needs to be added before large folio swapins and zswap can work together.
Looking at callers of swap_read_folio(), it seems like they are either
allocated from __read_swap_cache_async() or do_swap_page() in the
SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO path. Both of which allocate order-0 folios, so
everything is fine for now.
However, there is ongoing work to add to support large folio swapins [1].
To make sure new development does not break zswap (or get broken by
zswap), add minimal handling of incorrect loads of large folios to zswap.
First, move the call folio_mark_uptodate() inside zswap_load().
If a large folio load is attempted, and zswap was ever enabled on the
system, return 'true' without calling folio_mark_uptodate(). This will
prevent the folio from being read from disk, and will emit an IO error
because the folio is not uptodate (e.g. do_swap_fault() will return
VM_FAULT_SIGBUS). It may not be reliable recovery in all cases, but it is
better than nothing.
This was tested by hacking the allocation in __read_swap_cache_async() to
use order 2 and __GFP_COMP.
In the future, to handle this correctly, the swapin code should:
(a) Fall back to order-0 swapins if zswap was ever used on the
machine, because compressed pages remain in zswap after it is
disabled.
(b) Add proper support to swapin large folios from zswap (fully or
partially).
Probably start with (a) then followup with (b).

Most of the work done in folio_start_writeback is reversed in
folio_end_writeback. For e.g. NR_WRITEBACK and NR_ZONE_WRITE_PENDING are
incremented in start_writeback and decremented in end_writeback. Calling
end_writeback immediately after start_writeback (separated by
folio_unlock) cancels the affect of most of the work done in start hence
can be removed.
There is some extra work done in folio_end_writeback, however it is
incorrect/not applicable to zswap:
- folio_end_writeback incorrectly increments NR_WRITTEN counter,
eventhough the pages aren't written to disk, hence this change
corrects this behaviour.
- folio_end_writeback calls folio_rotate_reclaimable, but that only
makes sense for async writeback pages, while for zswap pages are
synchronously reclaimed.

Commit [1] introduced IO polling support duding swapin to reduce swap read
latency for block devices that can be polled. However later commit [2]
removed polling support. Commit [3] removed the remnants of polling
support from read_swap_cache_async() and __read_swap_cache_async().
However, it left behind some remnants in swap_read_folio(), the
'synchronous' argument.
swap_read_folio() reads the folio synchronously if synchronous=true or if
SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO is set in swap_info_struct. The only caller that
passes synchronous=true is in do_swap_page() in the SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO
case.
Hence, the argument is redundant, it is only set to true when the swap
read would have been synchronous anyway. Remove it.

The mTHP swap related counters: 'anon_swpout' and 'anon_swpout_fallback'
are confusing with an 'anon_' prefix, since the shmem can swap out
non-anonymous pages. So drop the 'anon_' prefix to keep consistent with
the old swap counter names.
This is needed in 6.10-rcX to avoid having an inconsistent ABI out in the
field.

This helps to display the fragmentation situation of the swapfile, knowing
the proportion of how much we haven't split large folios. So far, we only
support non-split swapout for anon memory, with the possibility of
expanding to shmem in the future. So, we add the "anon" prefix to the
counter names.

Commit d0637c505f8a1 ("arm64: enable THP_SWAP for arm64") brings up
THP_SWAP on ARM64, but it doesn't enable THP_SWP on hardware with MTE as
the MTE code works with the assumption tags save/restore is always
handling a folio with only one page.
The limitation should be removed as more and more ARM64 SoCs have this
feature. Co-existence of MTE and THP_SWAP becomes more and more
important.
This patch makes MTE tags saving support large folios, then we don't need
to split large folios into base pages for swapping out on ARM64 SoCs with
MTE any more.
arch_prepare_to_swap() should take folio rather than page as parameter
because we support THP swap-out as a whole. It saves tags for all pages
in a large folio.
As now we are restoring tags based-on folio, in arch_swap_restore(), we
may increase some extra loops and early-exitings while refaulting a large
folio which is still in swapcache in do_swap_page(). In case a large
folio has nr pages, do_swap_page() will only set the PTE of the particular
page which is causing the page fault. Thus do_swap_page() runs nr times,
and each time, arch_swap_restore() will loop nr times for those subpages
in the folio. So right now the algorithmic complexity becomes O(nr^2).
Once we support mapping large folios in do_swap_page(), extra loops and
early-exitings will decrease while not being completely removed as a large
folio might get partially tagged in corner cases such as, 1. a large
folio in swapcache can be partially unmapped, thus, MTE tags for the
unmapped pages will be invalidated; 2. users might use mprotect() to set
MTEs on a part of a large folio.
arch_thp_swp_supported() is dropped since ARM64 MTE was the only one who
needed it.

During our experiment with zswap, we sometimes observe swap IOs due to
occasional zswap store failures and writebacks-to-swap. These swapping
IOs prevent many users who cannot tolerate swapping from adopting zswap to
save memory and improve performance where possible.
This patch adds the option to disable this behavior entirely: do not
writeback to backing swapping device when a zswap store attempt fail, and
do not write pages in the zswap pool back to the backing swap device (both
when the pool is full, and when the new zswap shrinker is called).
This new behavior can be opted-in/out on a per-cgroup basis via a new
cgroup file. By default, writebacks to swap device is enabled, which is
the previous behavior. Initially, writeback is enabled for the root
cgroup, and a newly created cgroup will inherit the current setting of its
parent.
Note that this is subtly different from setting memory.swap.max to 0, as
it still allows for pages to be stored in the zswap pool (which itself
consumes swap space in its current form).
This patch should be applied on top of the zswap shrinker series:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20231130194023.4102148-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/
as it also disables the zswap shrinker, a major source of zswap
writebacks.
For the most part, this feature is motivated by internal parties who
have already established their opinions regarding swapping - the
workloads that are highly sensitive to IO, and especially those who are
using servers with really slow disk performance (for instance, massive
but slow HDDs). For these folks, it's impossible to convince them to
even entertain zswap if swapping also comes as a packaged deal.
Writeback disabling is quite a useful feature in these situations - on
a mixed workloads deployment, they can disable writeback for the more
IO-sensitive workloads, and enable writeback for other background
workloads.
For instance, on a server with HDD, I allocate memories and populate
them with random values (so that zswap store will always fail), and
specify memory.high low enough to trigger reclaim. The time it takes
to allocate the memories and just read through it a couple of times
(doing silly things like computing the values' average etc.):
zswap.writeback disabled:
real 0m30.537s
user 0m23.687s
sys 0m6.637s
0 pages swapped in
0 pages swapped out
zswap.writeback enabled:
real 0m45.061s
user 0m24.310s
sys 0m8.892s
712686 pages swapped in
461093 pages swapped out
(the last two lines are from vmstat -s).

At present, we support per-memcg reclaim strategy, however we do not know
the number of transparent huge pages being reclaimed, as we know the
transparent huge pages need to be splited before reclaim them, and they
will bring some performance bottleneck effect. for example, when two
memcg (A & B) are doing reclaim for anonymous pages at same time, and 'A'
memcg is reclaiming a large number of transparent huge pages, we can
better analyze that the performance bottleneck will be caused by 'A'
memcg. therefore, in order to better analyze such problems, there add THP
swap out info for per-memcg.

Patch series "Followup folio conversions for zswap".
With frontswap killed, it's worth converting the zswap_load() and
zswap_store() functions to take a folio instead of a page pointer. They
aren't converted to support large folios, but there are a lot of
unnecessary calls to compound_head() that are removed by these patches.
This patch (of 4):
Only convert a few easy parts of this function to use the folio passed in;
convert back to struct page for the majority of it. This does remove a
few hidden calls to compound_head().
