The comment explaining why these parts use preempt_disable_nested() is in
__mod_zone_page_state(), not in __mod_node_page_state(), so we should see
__mod_zone_page_state(). Just correct it.

The nr_free_highatomic is a key factor in calculating watermarks as it
affects the free pages count. Adding this metric, along with
nr_reserved_highatomic, to /proc/zoneinfo facilitates easier diagnosis
memory watermark calculations and memory pressure states.

Patch series "mm/page_alloc: Batch callers of free_pcppages_bulk", v5.
Motivation & Approach
=====================
While testing workloads with high sustained memory pressure on large
machines in the Meta fleet (1Tb memory, 316 CPUs), we saw an unexpectedly
high number of softlockups. Further investigation showed that the zone
lock in free_pcppages_bulk was being held for a long time, and was called
to free 2k+ pages over 100 times just during boot.
This causes starvation in other processes for the zone lock, which can
lead to the system stalling as multiple threads cannot make progress
without the locks. We can see these issues manifesting as warnings:
[ 4512.591979] rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU
[ 4512.604370] rcu: 20-....: (9312 ticks this GP) idle=a654/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=309340/309344 fqs=5426
[ 4512.626401] rcu: hardirqs softirqs csw/system
[ 4512.638793] rcu: number: 0 145 0
[ 4512.651177] rcu: cputime: 30 10410 174 ==> 10558(ms)
[ 4512.666657] rcu: (t=21077 jiffies g=783665 q=1242213 ncpus=316)
While these warnings don't indicate a crash or a kernel panic, they do
point to the underlying issue of lock contention. To prevent starvation
in both locks, batch the freeing of pages using pcp->batch.
Because free_pcppages_bulk is called with the pcp lock and acquires the
zone lock, relinquishing and reacquiring the locks are only effective when
both of them are broken together (unless the system was built with queued
spinlocks). Thus, instead of modifying free_pcppages_bulk to break both
locks, batch the freeing from its callers instead.
A similar fix has been implemented in the Meta fleet, and we have seen
significantly less softlockups.
Testing
=======
The following are a few synthetic benchmarks, made on three machines. The
first is a large machine with 754GiB memory and 316 processors.
The second is a relatively smaller machine with 251GiB memory and 176
processors. The third and final is the smallest of the three, which has 62GiB
memory and 36 processors.
On all machines, I kick off a kernel build with -j$(nproc).
Negative delta is better (faster compilation).
Large machine (754GiB memory, 316 processors)
make -j$(nproc)
+------------+---------------+-----------+
| Metric (s) | Variation (%) | Delta(%) |
+------------+---------------+-----------+
| real | 0.8070 | - 1.4865 |
| user | 0.2823 | + 0.4081 |
| sys | 5.0267 | -11.8737 |
+------------+---------------+-----------+
Medium machine (251GiB memory, 176 processors)
make -j$(nproc)
+------------+---------------+----------+
| Metric (s) | Variation (%) | Delta(%) |
+------------+---------------+----------+
| real | 0.2806 | +0.0351 |
| user | 0.0994 | +0.3170 |
| sys | 0.6229 | -0.6277 |
+------------+---------------+----------+
Small machine (62GiB memory, 36 processors)
make -j$(nproc)
+------------+---------------+----------+
| Metric (s) | Variation (%) | Delta(%) |
+------------+---------------+----------+
| real | 0.1503 | -2.6585 |
| user | 0.0431 | -2.2984 |
| sys | 0.1870 | -3.2013 |
+------------+---------------+----------+
Here, variation is the coefficient of variation, i.e. standard deviation
/ mean.
Based on these results, it seems like there are varying degrees to how
much lock contention this reduces. For the largest and smallest machines
that I ran the tests on, it seems like there is quite some significant
reduction. There is also some performance increases visible from
userspace.
Interestingly, the performance gains don't scale with the size of the
machine, but rather there seems to be a dip in the gain there is for the
medium-sized machine. One possible theory is that because the high
watermark depends on both memory and the number of local CPUs, what
impacts zone contention the most is not these individual values, but
rather the ratio of mem:processors.
This patch (of 5):
Currently, refresh_cpu_vm_stats returns an int, indicating how many
changes were made during its updates. Using this information, callers
like vmstat_update can heuristically determine if more work will be done
in the future.
However, all of refresh_cpu_vm_stats's callers either (a) ignore the
result, only caring about performing the updates, or (b) only care about
whether changes were made, but not *how many* changes were made.
Simplify the code by returning a bool instead to indicate if updates
were made.
In addition, simplify fold_diff and decay_pcp_high to return a bool
for the same reason.

If kswapd fails to reclaim pages from a node MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES in a
row, kswapd on that node gets disabled. That is, the system won't wakeup
kswapd for that node until page reclamation is observed at least once.
That reclamation is mostly done by direct reclaim, which in turn enables
kswapd back.
However, on systems with CXL memory nodes, workloads with high anon page
usage can disable kswapd indefinitely, without triggering direct
reclaim. This can be reproduced with following steps:
numa node 0 (32GB memory, 48 CPUs)
numa node 2~5 (512GB CXL memory, 128GB each)
(numa node 1 is disabled)
swap space 8GB
1) Set /sys/kernel/mm/demotion_enabled to 0.
2) Set /proc/sys/kernel/numa_balancing to 0.
3) Run a process that allocates and random accesses 500GB of anon
pages.
4) Let the process exit normally.
During 3), free memory on node 0 gets lower than low watermark, and
kswapd runs and depletes swap space. Then, kswapd fails consecutively
and gets disabled. Allocation afterwards happens on CXL memory, so node
0 never gains more memory pressure to trigger direct reclaim.
After 4), kswapd on node 0 remains disabled, and tasks running on that
node are unable to swap. If you turn on NUMA_BALANCING_MEMORY_TIERING
and demotion now, it won't work properly since kswapd is disabled.
To mitigate this problem, reset kswapd_failures to 0 on following
conditions:
a) ZONE_BELOW_HIGH bit of a zone in hopeless node with a fallback
memory node gets cleared.
b) demotion_enabled is changed from false to true.
Rationale for a):
ZONE_BELOW_HIGH bit being cleared might be a sign that the node may
be reclaimable afterwards. This won't help much if the memory-hungry
process keeps running without freeing anything, but at least the node
will go back to reclaimable state when the process exits.
Rationale for b):
When demotion_enabled is false, kswapd can only reclaim anon pages by
swapping them out to swap space. If demotion_enabled is turned on,
kswapd can demote anon pages to another node for reclaiming. So, the
original failure count for determining reclaimability is no longer
valid.
Since kswapd_failures resets may be missed by ++ operation, it is
changed from int to atomic_t.

Kernel file pages are tricky to track because they are indistinguishable
from files whose usage is accounted to the root cgroup.
To maintain good accounting, introduce a vmstat counter tracking kernel
file pages.
Confirmed that these work as expected at a high level by mounting a btrfs
using AS_KERNEL_FILE for metadata pages, and seeing the counter rise with
fs usage then go back to a minimal level after drop_caches and finally
down to 0 after unmounting the fs.

Goto-san reported confusing pgpromote statistics where the
pgpromote_success count significantly exceeded pgpromote_candidate.
On a system with three nodes (nodes 0-1: DRAM 4GB, node 2: NVDIMM 4GB):
# Enable demotion only
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/numa/demotion_enabled
numactl -m 0-1 memhog -r200 3500M >/dev/null &
pid=$!
sleep 2
numactl memhog -r100 2500M >/dev/null &
sleep 10
kill -9 $pid # terminate the 1st memhog
# Enable promotion
echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/numa_balancing
After a few seconds, we observeed `pgpromote_candidate < pgpromote_success`
$ grep -e pgpromote /proc/vmstat
pgpromote_success 2579
pgpromote_candidate 0
In this scenario, after terminating the first memhog, the conditions for
pgdat_free_space_enough() are quickly met, and triggers promotion.
However, these migrated pages are only counted for in PGPROMOTE_SUCCESS,
not in PGPROMOTE_CANDIDATE.
To solve these confusing statistics, introduce PGPROMOTE_CANDIDATE_NRL to
count the missed promotion pages. And also, not counting these pages into
PGPROMOTE_CANDIDATE is to avoid changing the existing algorithm or
performance of the promotion rate limit.

The only user of the counter (FUSE) was removed in commit 0c58a97f919c
("fuse: remove tmp folio for writebacks and internal rb tree") so follow
the established pattern of removing the counter and hardcoding 0 in
meminfo output, as done recently with NR_BOUNCE. Update documentation for
procfs, including for the value for Bounce that was missed when removing
its counter.
Also remove the mention of NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP implications from a comment
in wb_position_ratio(). The rest of the comment there about fuse setting
bdi->max_ratio to 1% is still correct.

The vmstat_text array defines labels for counters displayed in
/proc/vmstat. The current definition of the array implies a specific
order of the counters in their enums, making it fragile.
To make it clear which counter the label is for, use designated
initializers.

/proc/vmstat displays counters from various sources. It is easy to forget
to add or remove a label when a new counter is added or removed.
There is a BUILD_BUG_ON() function that catches missing labels. However,
for some reason, it ignores extra labels.
Let's make the check strict. This would help to catch issues when a
counter is removed.

The vmstat_text array contains labels for counters displayed in
/proc/vmstat. It is important to keep the labels in sync with the
counters.
There is a BUILD_BUG_ON() check in vmstat_start() that ensures the size of
the vmstat_text is not smaller than VM_EVENT_COUNTERS. This helps to
catch cases where a new counter is added but the label is not. However,
it does not help if a counter is removed but the label remains.
It would be nice to make the BUILD_BUG_ON() check more strict to catch
such cases. However, when compiling with MEMCG enabled but
VM_EVENT_COUNTERS disabled, the vmstat_text array is larger than
NR_VMSTAT_ITEMS.
This issue arises because some elements of the vmstat_text array are
present when either MEMCG or VM_EVENT_COUNTERS is enabled, but
NR_VMSTAT_ITEMS only accounts for these elements if VM_EVENT_COUNTERS is
enabled.
Instead of adjusting the NR_VMSTAT_ITEMS definition to account for MEMCG,
make MEMCG select VM_EVENT_COUNTERS. VM_EVENT_COUNTERS is enabled in most
configurations anyway.

This reverts commit ad6b26b6a0a79166b53209df2ca1cf8636296382.
This commit introduces per-memcg/task NUMA balance statistics, but
unfortunately it introduced a NULL pointer exception due to the following
race condition: After a swap task candidate was chosen, its mm_struct
pointer was set to NULL due to task exit. Later, when performing the
actual task swapping, the p->mm caused the problem.
CPU0 CPU1
:
...
task_numa_migrate
task_numa_find_cpu
task_numa_compare
# a normal task p is chosen
env->best_task = p
# p exit:
exit_signals(p);
p->flags |= PF_EXITING
exit_mm
p->mm = NULL;
migrate_swap_stop
__migrate_swap_task((arg->src_task, arg->dst_cpu)
count_memcg_event_mm(p->mm, NUMA_TASK_SWAP)# p->mm is NULL
task_lock() should be held and the PF_EXITING flag needs to be checked to
prevent this from happening. After discussion, the conclusion was that
adding a lock is not worthwhile for some statistics calculations. Revert
the change and rely on the tracepoint for this purpose.

Hongyu noticed that the nr_unaccepted counter kept growing even in the
absence of unaccepted memory on the machine.
This happens due to a commit that removed NR_BOUNCE: it removed the
counter from the enum zone_stat_item, but left it in the vmstat_text
array.
As a result, all counters below nr_bounce in /proc/vmstat are shifted by
one line, causing the numa_hit counter to be labeled as nr_unaccepted.
To fix this issue, remove nr_bounce from the vmstat_text array.

On systems with NUMA balancing enabled, it has been found that tracking
task activities resulting from NUMA balancing is beneficial. NUMA
balancing employs two mechanisms for task migration: one is to migrate
a task to an idle CPU within its preferred node, and the other is to
swap tasks located on different nodes when they are on each other's
preferred nodes.
The kernel already provides NUMA page migration statistics in
/sys/fs/cgroup/mytest/memory.stat and /proc/{PID}/sched. However, it
lacks statistics regarding task migration and swapping. Therefore,
relevant counts for task migration and swapping should be added.
The following two new fields:
numa_task_migrated
numa_task_swapped
will be shown in /sys/fs/cgroup/{GROUP}/memory.stat, /proc/{PID}/sched
and /proc/vmstat.
Introducing both per-task and per-memory cgroup (memcg) NUMA balancing
statistics facilitates a rapid evaluation of the performance and
resource utilization of the target workload. For instance, users can
first identify the container with high NUMA balancing activity and then
further pinpoint a specific task within that group, and subsequently
adjust the memory policy for that task. In short, although it is
possible to iterate through /proc/$pid/sched to locate the problematic
task, the introduction of aggregated NUMA balancing activity for tasks
within each memcg can assist users in identifying the task more
efficiently through a divide-and-conquer approach.
As Libo Chen pointed out, the memcg event relies on the text names in
vmstat_text, and /proc/vmstat generates corresponding items based on
vmstat_text. Thus, the relevant task migration and swapping events
introduced in vmstat_text also need to be populated by
count_vm_numa_event(), otherwise these values are zero in /proc/vmstat.
In theory, task migration and swap events are part of the scheduler's
activities. The reason for exposing them through the
memory.stat/vmstat interface is that we already have NUMA balancing
statistics in memory.stat/vmstat, and these events are closely related
to each other. Following Shakeel's suggestion, we describe the
end-to-end flow/story of all these events occurring on a timeline for
future reference:
The goal of NUMA balancing is to co-locate a task and its memory pages
on the same NUMA node. There are two strategies: migrate the pages to
the task's node, or migrate the task to the node where its pages
reside.
Suppose a task p1 is running on Node 0, but its pages are located on
Node 1. NUMA page fault statistics for p1 reveal its "page footprint"
across nodes. If NUMA balancing detects that most of p1's pages are on
Node 1:
1.Page Migration Attempt:
The Numa balance first tries to migrate p1's pages to Node 0.
The numa_page_migrate counter increments.
2.Task Migration Strategies:
After the page migration finishes, Numa balance checks every
1 second to see if p1 can be migrated to Node 1.
Case 2.1: Idle CPU Available
If Node 1 has an idle CPU, p1 is directly scheduled there. This
event is logged as numa_task_migrated.
Case 2.2: No Idle CPU (Task Swap)
If all CPUs on Node1 are busy, direct migration could cause CPU
contention or load imbalance. Instead: The Numa balance selects a
candidate task p2 on Node 1 that prefers Node 0 (e.g., due to its own
page footprint). p1 and p2 are swapped. This cross-node swap is
recorded as numa_task_swapped.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros
Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide
compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.
This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were
reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect.
- The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some
relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.
- The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David
Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using
device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is
needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now
succeed.
- The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed
remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated
for half a year and nobody has complained.
- The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo
Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime
effects are anticipated.
- The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from
process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the
madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed
in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark.
- The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from
Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan
noticed when working on the swap code.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sysctl/sysctl
Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados:
- Move vm_table members out of kernel/sysctl.c
All vm_table array members have moved to their respective subsystems
leading to the removal of vm_table from kernel/sysctl.c. This
increases modularity by placing the ctl_tables closer to where they
are actually used and at the same time reducing the chances of merge
conflicts in kernel/sysctl.c.
- ctl_table range fixes
Replace the proc_handler function that checks variable ranges in
coredump_sysctls and vdso_table with the one that actually uses the
extra{1,2} pointers as min/max values. This tightens the range of the
values that users can pass into the kernel effectively preventing
{under,over}flows.

Patch series "Adding Proactive Memory Reclaim Statistics".
These two patches are related to proactive memory reclaim.
Patch 1 Split proactive reclaim statistics from direct reclaim counters
and introduces new counters: pgsteal_proactive, pgdemote_proactive,
and pgscan_proactive.
Patch 2 Adds pswpin and pswpout items to the cgroup-v2 documentation.
This patch (of 2):
In proactive memory reclaim scenarios, it is necessary to accurately track
proactive reclaim statistics to dynamically adjust the frequency and
amount of memory being reclaimed proactively. Currently, proactive
reclaim is included in direct reclaim statistics, which can make these
direct reclaim statistics misleading.
Therefore, separate proactive reclaim memory from the direct reclaim
counters by introducing new counters: pgsteal_proactive,
pgdemote_proactive, and pgscan_proactive, to avoid confusion with direct
reclaim.

Patch series "track memory used by balloon drivers", v2.
This series introduces a way to track memory used by balloon drivers.
Add a NR_BALLOON_PAGES counter to track how many pages are reclaimed by
the balloon drivers. First add the accounting, then updates the balloon
drivers (virtio, Hyper-V, VMware, Pseries-cmm, and Xen) to maintain this
counter. The virtio, Vmware, and pseries-cmm balloon drivers utilize the
balloon_compaction interface to allocate and free balloon pages. Other
balloon drivers will have to maintain this counter manually.
This makes the information visible in memory reporting interfaces like
/proc/meminfo, show_mem, and OOM reporting.
This provides admins visibility into their VM balloon sizes without
requiring different virtualization tooling. Furthermore, this information
is helpful when debugging an OOM inside a VM.
This patch (of 4):
Add NR_BALLOON_PAGES counter to track memory used by balloon drivers and
expose it through /proc/meminfo and other memory reporting interfaces.

The previous patch added pageblock_order reclaim to kswapd/kcompactd,
which helps, but produces only one block at a time. Allocation stalls and
THP failure rates are still higher than they could be.
To adequately reflect ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT demand for pageblocks, change the
watermarking for kswapd & kcompactd: instead of targeting the high
watermark in order-0 pages and checking for one suitable block, simply
require that the high watermark is entirely met in pageblocks.
To this end, track the number of free pages within contiguous pageblocks,
then change pgdat_balanced() and compact_finished() to check watermarks
against this new value.
This further reduces THP latencies and allocation stalls, and improves THP
success rates against the previous patch:

File refaults 143438.80 ( +0.00%) 188226.93 ( +31.22%)
Also of note is that compaction work overall is reduced. The reason for
this is that when free pageblocks are more readily available, allocations
are also much more likely to get physically placed in LRU order, instead
of being forced to scavenge free space here and there. This means that
reclaim by itself has better chances of freeing up whole blocks, and the
system relies less on compaction.

THP allocation latencies and %sys time are down dramatically.
THP allocation failures are down from nearly 50% to 8.5%. And to recall
previous data points, the success rates are steady and reliable without
the cumulative deterioration of fragmentation events.
Compaction work is down overall. Direct compaction work especially is
drastically reduced. As an aside, its success rate of 4% indicates there
is room for improvement. For now it's good to rely on it less.
Reclaim work is up overall, however direct reclaim work is down. Part of
the increase can be attributed to a higher use of THPs, which due to
internal fragmentation increase the memory footprint. This is not
necessarily an unexpected side-effect for users of THP.
However, taken both points together, there may well be some opportunities
for fine tuning in the reclaim/compaction coordination.
