Local variable `scan' can overflow on zones which are larger than
(2G * 4k) / 100 = 80GB.
Making it 64-bit on 64-bit will fix that up.

Commit a6dc60f8975ad96d162915e07703a4439c80dcf0 ("vmscan: rename
sc.may_swap to may_unmap") removed the may_swap flag, but memcg had used
it as a flag for "we need to use swap?", as the name indicate.
And in the current implementation, memcg cannot reclaim mapped file
caches when mem+swap hits the limit.
re-introduce may_swap flag and handle it at get_scan_ratio(). This
patch doesn't influence any scan_control users other than memcg.

Commit d979677c4c0 ("mm: shrink_all_memory(): use sc.nr_reclaimed")
broke the memory shrinking used by hibernation, becuse it did not update
shrink_all_zones() in accordance with the other changes it made.
Fix this by making shrink_all_zones() update sc->nr_reclaimed instead of
overwriting its value.
This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13058

Recruit a page flag to aid in cache management. The following extra flag is
defined:
(1) PG_fscache (PG_private_2)
The marked page is backed by a local cache and is pinning resources in the
cache driver.
If PG_fscache is set, then things that checked for PG_private will now also
check for that. This includes things like truncation and page invalidation.
The function page_has_private() had been added to make the checks for both
PG_private and PG_private_2 at the same time.

try_to_free_pages() is used for the direct reclaim of up to
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages when watermarks are low. The caller to
alloc_pages_nodemask() can specify a nodemask of nodes that are allowed to
be used but this is not passed to try_to_free_pages(). This can lead to
unnecessary reclaim of pages that are unusable by the caller and int the
worst case lead to allocation failure as progress was not been make where
it is needed.
This patch passes the nodemask used for alloc_pages_nodemask() to
try_to_free_pages().

name of the shrinker should be printed, not shrink_slab. This also makes

The pagevec_swap_free() at the end of shrink_active_list() was introduced
in 68a22394 "vmscan: free swap space on swap-in/activation" when
shrink_active_list() was still rotating referenced active pages.
In 7e9cd48 "vmscan: fix pagecache reclaim referenced bit check" this was
changed, the rotating removed but the pagevec_swap_free() after the
rotation loop was forgotten, applying now to the pagevec of the
deactivation loop instead.
Now swap space is freed for deactivated pages. And only for those that
happen to be on the pagevec after the deactivation loop.
Complete 7e9cd48 and remove the rest of the swap freeing.

In shrink_active_list() after the deactivation loop, we strip buffer heads
from the potentially remaining pages in the pagevec.
Currently, this drops the zone's lru lock for stripping, only to reacquire
it again afterwards to update statistics.
It is not necessary to strip the pages before updating the stats, so move
the whole thing out of the protected region and save the extra locking.

During page allocation, there are two stages of direct reclaim that are
applied to each zone in the preferred list. The first stage using
zone_reclaim() reclaims unmapped file backed pages and slab pages if over
defined limits as these are cheaper to reclaim. The caller specifies the
order of the target allocation but the scan control is not being correctly
initialised.
The impact is that the correct number of pages are being reclaimed but
that lumpy reclaim is not being applied. This increases the chances of a
full direct reclaim via try_to_free_pages() is required.
This patch initialises the order field of the scan control as requested by
the caller.

shrink_inactive_list() scans in sc->swap_cluster_max chunks until it hits
the scan limit it was passed.
shrink_inactive_list()
{
do {
isolate_pages(swap_cluster_max)
shrink_page_list()
} while (nr_scanned < max_scan);
}
This assumes that swap_cluster_max is not bigger than the scan limit
because the latter is checked only after at least one iteration.
In shrink_all_memory() sc->swap_cluster_max is initialized to the overall
reclaim goal in the beginning but not decreased while reclaim is making
progress which leads to subsequent calls to shrink_inactive_list()
reclaiming way too much in the one iteration that is done unconditionally.
Set sc->swap_cluster_max always to the proper goal before doing
shrink_all_zones()
shrink_list()
shrink_inactive_list().
While the current shrink_all_memory() happily reclaims more than actually
requested, this patch fixes it to never exceed the goal:

Impact: cleanup
In almost cases, for_each_zone() is used with populated_zone(). It's
because almost function doesn't need memoryless node information.
Therefore, for_each_populated_zone() can help to make code simplify.
This patch has no functional change.

sc.may_swap does not only influence reclaiming of anon pages but pages
mapped into pagetables in general, which also includes mapped file pages.
In shrink_page_list():
if (!sc->may_swap && page_mapped(page))
goto keep_locked;
For anon pages, this makes sense as they are always mapped and reclaiming
them always requires swapping.
But mapped file pages are skipped here as well and it has nothing to do
with swapping.
The real effect of the knob is whether mapped pages are unmapped and
reclaimed or not. Rename it to `may_unmap' to have its name match its
actual meaning more precisely.

node_to_cpumask_ptr(cpumask, pgdat->node_id), has a side-effect: it
defines the 'cpumask' local variable as well, so it has to go into

Sidenote: it might make sense to make this purpose of these macros
more apparent, by naming them the standard way, such as:
DEFINE_node_to_cpumask_ptr(cpumask, pgdat->node_id);

Here is another version, with the incremental patch rolled up, and
added reclaim context annotation to kswapd, and allocation tracing
to slab allocators (which may only ever reach the page allocator
in rare cases, so it is good to put annotations here too).
Haven't tested this version as such, but it should be getting closer
to merge worthy ;)
--
After noticing some code in mm/filemap.c accidentally perform a __GFP_FS
allocation when it should not have been, I thought it might be a good idea to
try to catch this kind of thing with lockdep.
I coded up a little idea that seems to work. Unfortunately the system has to
actually be in __GFP_FS page reclaim, then take the lock, before it will mark
it. But at least that might still be some orders of magnitude more common
(and more debuggable) than an actual deadlock condition, so we have some
improvement I hope (the concept is no less complete than discovery of a lock's
interrupt contexts).
I guess we could even do the same thing with __GFP_IO (normal reclaim), and
even GFP_NOIO locks too... but filesystems will have the most locks and fiddly
code paths, so let's start there and see how it goes.
It *seems* to work. I did a quick test.

Currently, inactive_ratio of memcg is calculated at setting limit.
because page_alloc.c does so and current implementation is straightforward
porting.
However, memcg introduced hierarchy feature recently. In hierarchy
restriction, memory limit is not only decided memory.limit_in_bytes of
current cgroup, but also parent limit and sibling memory usage.
Then, The optimal inactive_ratio is changed frequently. So, everytime
calculation is better.

Currently, /proc/sys/vm/swappiness can change swappiness ratio for global
reclaim. However, memcg reclaim doesn't have tuning parameter for itself.
In general, the optimal swappiness depend on workload. (e.g. hpc
workload need to low swappiness than the others.)
Then, per cgroup swappiness improve administrator tunability.

The inactive_anon_is_low() is key component of active/inactive anon
balancing on reclaim. However current inactive_anon_is_low() function
only consider global reclaim.
Therefore, we need following ugly scan_global_lru() condition.
if (lru == LRU_ACTIVE_ANON &&
(!scan_global_lru(sc) || inactive_anon_is_low(zone))) {
shrink_active_list(nr_to_scan, zone, sc, priority, file);
return 0;
it cause that memcg reclaim always deactivate pages when shrink_list() is
called. To make mem_cgroup_inactive_anon_is_low() improve active/inactive
anon balancing of memcgroup.

Currently, get_scan_ratio() always calculate the balancing value for
global reclaim and memcg reclaim doesn't use it. Therefore it doesn't
have scan_global_lru() condition.

latter. Then, The dependency code of global reclaim in the
get_scan_ratio() insert into scan_global_lru() condision explictly.

A big patch for changing memcg's LRU semantics.
Now,
- page_cgroup is linked to mem_cgroup's its own LRU (per zone).
- LRU of page_cgroup is not synchronous with global LRU.
- page and page_cgroup is one-to-one and statically allocated.
- To find page_cgroup is on what LRU, you have to check pc->mem_cgroup as
- lru = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc, nid_of_pc, zid_of_pc);
- SwapCache is handled.
And, when we handle LRU list of page_cgroup, we do following.
pc = lookup_page_cgroup(page);
lock_page_cgroup(pc); .....................(1)
mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc);
spin_lock(&mz->lru_lock);
.....add to LRU
spin_unlock(&mz->lru_lock);
unlock_page_cgroup(pc);
But (1) is spin_lock and we have to be afraid of dead-lock with zone->lru_lock.
So, trylock() is used at (1), now. Without (1), we can't trust "mz" is correct.
This is a trial to remove this dirty nesting of locks.
This patch changes mz->lru_lock to be zone->lru_lock.
Then, above sequence will be written as
spin_lock(&zone->lru_lock); # in vmscan.c or swap.c via global LRU
mem_cgroup_add/remove/etc_lru() {
pc = lookup_page_cgroup(page);
mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc);
if (PageCgroupUsed(pc)) {
....add to LRU
}
spin_lock(&zone->lru_lock); # in vmscan.c or swap.c via global LRU
This is much simpler.
(*) We're safe even if we don't take lock_page_cgroup(pc). Because..
1. When pc->mem_cgroup can be modified.
- at charge.
- at account_move().
2. at charge
the PCG_USED bit is not set before pc->mem_cgroup is fixed.
3. at account_move()
the page is isolated and not on LRU.
Pros.
- easy for maintenance.
- memcg can make use of laziness of pagevec.
- we don't have to duplicated LRU/Active/Unevictable bit in page_cgroup.
- LRU status of memcg will be synchronized with global LRU's one.
- # of locks are reduced.
- account_move() is simplified very much.
Cons.
- may increase cost of LRU rotation.
(no impact if memcg is not configured.)

This patch implements per cgroup limit for usage of memory+swap. However
there are SwapCache, double counting of swap-cache and swap-entry is
avoided.
Mem+Swap controller works as following.
- memory usage is limited by memory.limit_in_bytes.
- memory + swap usage is limited by memory.memsw_limit_in_bytes.
This has following benefits.
- A user can limit total resource usage of mem+swap.
Without this, because memory resource controller doesn't take care of
usage of swap, a process can exhaust all the swap (by memory leak.)
We can avoid this case.
And Swap is shared resource but it cannot be reclaimed (goes back to memory)
until it's used. This characteristic can be trouble when the memory
is divided into some parts by cpuset or memcg.
Assume group A and group B.
After some application executes, the system can be..
Group A -- very large free memory space but occupy 99% of swap.
Group B -- under memory shortage but cannot use swap...it's nearly full.
Ability to set appropriate swap limit for each group is required.
Maybe someone wonder "why not swap but mem+swap ?"
- The global LRU(kswapd) can swap out arbitrary pages. Swap-out means
to move account from memory to swap...there is no change in usage of
mem+swap.
In other words, when we want to limit the usage of swap without affecting
global LRU, mem+swap limit is better than just limiting swap.
Accounting target information is stored in swap_cgroup which is
per swap entry record.
Charge is done as following.
map
- charge page and memsw.
unmap
- uncharge page/memsw if not SwapCache.
swap-out (__delete_from_swap_cache)
- uncharge page
- record mem_cgroup information to swap_cgroup.
swap-in (do_swap_page)
- charged as page and memsw.
record in swap_cgroup is cleared.
memsw accounting is decremented.
swap-free (swap_free())
- if swap entry is freed, memsw is uncharged by PAGE_SIZE.
There are people work under never-swap environments and consider swap as
something bad. For such people, this mem+swap controller extension is just an
overhead. This overhead is avoided by config or boot option.
(see Kconfig. detail is not in this patch.)
TODO:
- maybe more optimization can be don in swap-in path. (but not very safe.)
But we just do simple accounting at this stage.

Wassim Dagash reported following kswapd infinite loop problem.
kswapd runs in some infinite loop trying to swap until order 10 of zone
highmem is OK.... kswapd will continue to try to balance order 10 of zone
highmem forever (or until someone release a very large chunk of highmem).
For non order-0 allocations, the system may never be balanced due to
fragmentation but kswapd should not infinitely loop as a result.
Instead, recheck all watermarks at order-0 as they are the most important.
If watermarks are ok, kswapd will go back to sleep.

The vmscan bail out patch move nr_reclaimed variable to struct
scan_control. Unfortunately, indirect access can easily happen cache
miss.
if heavy memory pressure happend, that's ok.
cache miss already plenty. it is not observable.
but, if memory pressure is lite, performance degression is obserbable.
I compared following three pattern (it was mesured 10 times each)

When the VM is under pressure, it can happen that several direct reclaim
processes are in the pageout code simultaneously. It also happens that
the reclaiming processes run into mostly referenced, mapped and dirty
pages in the first round.
This results in multiple direct reclaim processes having a lower
pageout priority, which corresponds to a higher target of pages to
scan.
This in turn can result in each direct reclaim process freeing
many pages. Together, they can end up freeing way too many pages.
This kicks useful data out of memory (in some cases more than half
of all memory is swapped out). It also impacts performance by
keeping tasks stuck in the pageout code for too long.
A 30% improvement in hackbench has been observed with this patch.
The fix is relatively simple: in shrink_zone() we can check how many
pages we have already freed, direct reclaim tasks break out of the
scanning loop if they have already freed enough pages and have reached
a lower priority level.
We do not break out of shrink_zone() when priority == DEF_PRIORITY,
to ensure that equal pressure is applied to every zone in the common
case.
However, in order to do this we do need to know how many pages we already
freed, so move nr_reclaimed into scan_control.

:[PATCH] vmscan.c: dont reclaim too many pages
:
: The shrink_zone() logic can, under some circumstances, cause far too many
: pages to be reclaimed. Say, we're scanning at high priority and suddenly hit
: a large number of reclaimable pages on the LRU.
: Change things so we bale out when SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages have been reclaimed.
And we reverted it in 2006:

:
: [PATCH] vmscan: balancing fix
:
: Revert a patch which went into 2.6.8-rc1. The changelog for that patch was:
:
: The shrink_zone() logic can, under some circumstances, cause far too many
: pages to be reclaimed. Say, we're scanning at high priority and suddenly
: hit a large number of reclaimable pages on the LRU.
:
: Change things so we bale out when SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages have been
: reclaimed.
:
: Problem is, this change caused significant imbalance in inter-zone scan
: balancing by truncating scans of larger zones.
:
: Suppose, for example, ZONE_HIGHMEM is 10x the size of ZONE_NORMAL. The zone
: balancing algorithm would require that if we're scanning 100 pages of
: ZONE_HIGHMEM, we should scan 10 pages of ZONE_NORMAL. But this logic will
: cause the scanning of ZONE_HIGHMEM to bale out after only 32 pages are
: reclaimed. Thus effectively causing smaller zones to be scanned relatively
: harder than large ones.
:
: Now I need to remember what the workload was which caused me to write this
: patch originally, then fix it up in a different way...
And we haven't demonstrated that whatever problem caused that reversion is
not being reintroduced by this change in 2008.

memcg reclaim shouldn't change zone->recent_rotated statistics. If
memcgroup reclaim changes zone statistics, global reclaim can get a bit

Rik suggests a simplified get_scan_ratio() for !CONFIG_SWAP. Yes, the gcc
optimizer gives us that, when nr_swap_pages is #defined as 0L. Move usual
declaration to swapfile.c: it never belonged in page_alloc.c.

If we add a failing stub for add_to_swap(), then we can remove the #ifdef
CONFIG_SWAP from mm/vmscan.c.
This was intended as a source cleanup, but looking more closely, it turns
out that the !CONFIG_SWAP case was going to keep_locked for an anonymous
page, whereas now it goes to the more suitable activate_locked, like the
CONFIG_SWAP nr_swap_pages 0 case.

Remove gfp_mask argument from add_to_swap(): it's misleading because its
only caller, shrink_page_list(), is not atomic at that point; and in due
course (implementing discard) we'll sometimes want to allocate some memory
with GFP_NOIO (as is used in swap_writepage) when allocating swap.
No change to the gfp_mask passed down to add_to_swap_cache(): still use
__GFP_HIGH without __GFP_WAIT (with nomemalloc and nowarn as before):
though it's not obvious if that's the best combination to ask for here.

An unfortunate feature of the Unevictable LRU work was that reclaiming an
anonymous page involved an extra scan through the anon_vma: to check that
the page is evictable before allocating swap, because the swap could not
be freed reliably soon afterwards.
Now try_to_free_swap() has replaced remove_exclusive_swap_page(), that's
not an issue any more: remove try_to_munlock() call from
shrink_page_list(), leaving it to try_to_munmap() to discover if the page
is one to be culled to the unevictable list - in which case then
try_to_free_swap().
Update unevictable-lru.txt to remove comments on the try_to_munlock() in
shrink_page_list(), and shorten some lines over 80 columns.
