mm/mmap: change do_brk_munmap() to use do_mas_align_munmap()
do_brk_munmap() has already aligned the address and has a maple tree state
to be used. Use the new do_mas_align_munmap() to avoid unnecessary
alignment and error checks.
Signed-off-by: Liam R. Howlett <Liam.Howlett@Oracle.com>
Remove __do_munmap() in favour of do_munmap(), do_mas_munmap(), and
do_mas_align_munmap().
do_munmap() is a wrapper to create a maple state for any callers that have
not been converted to the maple tree.
do_mas_munmap() takes a maple state to mumap a range. This is just a
small function which checks for error conditions and aligns the end of the
range.
do_mas_align_munmap() uses the aligned range to mumap a range.
do_mas_align_munmap() starts with the first VMA in the range, then finds
the last VMA in the range. Both start and end are split if necessary.
Then the VMAs are removed from the linked list and the mm mlock count is
updated at the same time. Followed by a single tree operation of
overwriting the area in with a NULL. Finally, the detached list is
unmapped and freed.
By reorganizing the munmap calls as outlined, it is now possible to avoid
extra work of aligning pre-aligned callers which are known to be safe,
avoid extra VMA lookups or tree walks for modifications.
detach_vmas_to_be_unmapped() is no longer used, so drop this code.
vm_brk_flags() can just call the do_mas_munmap() as it checks for
intersecting VMAs directly.

The tree has a branching factor of 10 for non-leaf nodes and 16 for leaf

than the rbtree so it has fewer cache misses. The removal of the linked
list between subsequent entries also reduces the cache misses and the need
to pull in the previous and next VMA during many tree alterations.

Readers will not block for writers. A single write operation will be
allowed at a time. A reader re-walks if stale data is encountered. VMAs
would be RCU enabled and this mode would be entered once multiple tasks

When multiple memcgs are available, it is possible to make better choices

performance under global memory pressure. This patch adds a rudimentary
optimization to select memcgs that can drop single-use unmapped clean
pages first. Doing so reduces the chance of going into the aging path or
swapping. These two decisions can be costly.
A typical example that benefits from this optimization is a server running
mixed types of workloads, e.g., heavy anon workload in one memcg and heavy
buffered I/O workload in the other.
Though this optimization can be applied to both kswapd and direct reclaim,
it is only added to kswapd to keep the patchset manageable. Later

mm: multi-gen LRU: support page table walks
To further exploit spatial locality, the aging prefers to walk page tables
to search for young PTEs and promote hot pages. A kill switch will be
added in the next patch to disable this behavior. When disabled, the
aging relies on the rmap only.
NB: this behavior has nothing similar with the page table scanning in the
2.4 kernel [1], which searches page tables for old PTEs, adds cold pages
to swapcache and unmaps them.
To avoid confusion, the term "iteration" specifically means the traversal
of an entire mm_struct list; the term "walk" will be applied to page
tables and the rmap, as usual.
An mm_struct list is maintained for each memcg, and an mm_struct follows
its owner task to the new memcg when this task is migrated. Given an
lruvec, the aging iterates lruvec_memcg()->mm_list and calls
walk_page_range() with each mm_struct on this list to promote hot pages
before it increments max_seq.
When multiple page table walkers iterate the same list, each of them gets
a unique mm_struct; therefore they can run concurrently. Page table
walkers ignore any misplaced pages, e.g., if an mm_struct was migrated,
pages it left in the previous memcg will not be promoted when its current
memcg is under reclaim. Similarly, page table walkers will not promote
pages from nodes other than the one under reclaim.
This patch uses the following optimizations when walking page tables:
1. It tracks the usage of mm_struct's between context switches so that
page table walkers can skip processes that have been sleeping since
the last iteration.
2. It uses generational Bloom filters to record populated branches so
that page table walkers can reduce their search space based on the
query results, e.g., to skip page tables containing mostly holes or
misplaced pages.
3. It takes advantage of the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries when
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG=y.
4. It does not zigzag between a PGD table and the same PMD table
spanning multiple VMAs. IOW, it finishes all the VMAs within the
range of the same PMD table before it returns to a PGD table. This
improves the cache performance for workloads that have large
numbers of tiny VMAs [2], especially when CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS=5.

Searching the rmap for PTEs mapping each page on an LRU list (to test and
clear the accessed bit) can be expensive because pages from different VMAs
(PA space) are not cache friendly to the rmap (VA space). For workloads
mostly using mapped pages, searching the rmap can incur the highest CPU
cost in the reclaim path.
This patch exploits spatial locality to reduce the trips into the rmap.
When shrink_page_list() walks the rmap and finds a young PTE, a new
function lru_gen_look_around() scans at most BITS_PER_LONG-1 adjacent
PTEs. On finding another young PTE, it clears the accessed bit and
updates the gen counter of the page mapped by this PTE to
(max_seq%MAX_NR_GENS)+1.

mm: multi-gen LRU: minimal implementation
To avoid confusion, the terms "promotion" and "demotion" will be applied
to the multi-gen LRU, as a new convention; the terms "activation" and
"deactivation" will be applied to the active/inactive LRU, as usual.
The aging produces young generations. Given an lruvec, it increments
max_seq when max_seq-min_seq+1 approaches MIN_NR_GENS. The aging promotes
hot pages to the youngest generation when it finds them accessed through
page tables; the demotion of cold pages happens consequently when it
increments max_seq. Promotion in the aging path does not involve any LRU
list operations, only the updates of the gen counter and
lrugen->nr_pages[]; demotion, unless as the result of the increment of
max_seq, requires LRU list operations, e.g., lru_deactivate_fn(). The
aging has the complexity O(nr_hot_pages), since it is only interested in
hot pages.
The eviction consumes old generations. Given an lruvec, it increments
min_seq when lrugen->lists[] indexed by min_seq%MAX_NR_GENS becomes empty.
A feedback loop modeled after the PID controller monitors refaults over
anon and file types and decides which type to evict when both types are
available from the same generation.
The protection of pages accessed multiple times through file descriptors
takes place in the eviction path. Each generation is divided into
multiple tiers. A page accessed N times through file descriptors is in
tier order_base_2(N). Tiers do not have dedicated lrugen->lists[], only
bits in folio->flags. The aforementioned feedback loop also monitors
refaults over all tiers and decides when to protect pages in which tiers
(N>1), using the first tier (N=0,1) as a baseline. The first tier
contains single-use unmapped clean pages, which are most likely the best
choices. In contrast to promotion in the aging path, the protection of a
page in the eviction path is achieved by moving this page to the next
generation, i.e., min_seq+1, if the feedback loop decides so. This
approach has the following advantages:
1. It removes the cost of activation in the buffered access path by
inferring whether pages accessed multiple times through file
descriptors are statistically hot and thus worth protecting in the
eviction path.
2. It takes pages accessed through page tables into account and avoids
overprotecting pages accessed multiple times through file
descriptors. (Pages accessed through page tables are in the first

mm: multi-gen LRU: groundwork
Evictable pages are divided into multiple generations for each lruvec.
The youngest generation number is stored in lrugen->max_seq for both anon
and file types as they are aged on an equal footing. The oldest
generation numbers are stored in lrugen->min_seq[] separately for anon and
file types as clean file pages can be evicted regardless of swap
constraints. These three variables are monotonically increasing.
Generation numbers are truncated into order_base_2(MAX_NR_GENS+1) bits in
order to fit into the gen counter in folio->flags. Each truncated
generation number is an index to lrugen->lists[]. The sliding window
technique is used to track at least MIN_NR_GENS and at most MAX_NR_GENS
generations. The gen counter stores a value within [1, MAX_NR_GENS] while
a page is on one of lrugen->lists[]. Otherwise it stores 0.
There are two conceptually independent procedures: "the aging", which
produces young generations, and "the eviction", which consumes old
generations. They form a closed-loop system, i.e., "the page reclaim".
Both procedures can be invoked from userspace for the purposes of working
set estimation and proactive reclaim. These techniques are commonly used
to optimize job scheduling (bin packing) in data centers [1][2].
To avoid confusion, the terms "hot" and "cold" will be applied to the
multi-gen LRU, as a new convention; the terms "active" and "inactive"
will be applied to the active/inactive LRU, as usual.
The protection of hot pages and the selection of cold pages are based
on page access channels and patterns. There are two access channels:
one through page tables and the other through file descriptors. The
protection of the former channel is by design stronger because:
1. The uncertainty in determining the access patterns of the former
channel is higher due to the approximation of the accessed bit.
2. The cost of evicting the former channel is higher due to the TLB
flushes required and the likelihood of encountering the dirty bit.
3. The penalty of underprotecting the former channel is higher because
applications usually do not prepare themselves for major page
faults like they do for blocked I/O. E.g., GUI applications
commonly use dedicated I/O threads to avoid blocking rendering
threads.
There are also two access patterns: one with temporal locality and the
other without. For the reasons listed above, the former channel is
assumed to follow the former pattern unless VM_SEQ_READ or VM_RAND_READ is
present; the latter channel is assumed to follow the latter pattern unless
outlying refaults have been observed [3][4].
The next patch will address the "outlying refaults". Three macros, i.e.,
LRU_REFS_WIDTH, LRU_REFS_PGOFF and LRU_REFS_MASK, used later are added in
this patch to make the entire patchset less diffy.
A page is added to the youngest generation on faulting. The aging needs
to check the accessed bit at least twice before handing this page over to
the eviction. The first check takes care of the accessed bit set on the
initial fault; the second check makes sure this page has not been used
since then. This protocol, AKA second chance, requires a minimum of two
generations, hence MIN_NR_GENS.

mm: x86: add CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG
Some architectures support the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries, e.g.,
x86 sets the accessed bit in a non-leaf PMD entry when using it as part of
linear address translation [1]. Page table walkers that clear the
accessed bit may use this capability to reduce their search space.
Note that:
1. Although an inline function is preferable, this capability is added
as a configuration option for consistency with the existing macros.

restart browsers to free memory, etc, otherwise the system lags
heavily and is barely usable.
1.5 day ago I migrated from 5.11.15 kernel to 5.12 + the LRU

pressure, and worked for a day like this. Till now I had not a
single SWAP-storm, and mind you I got 3.4G in SWAP. I was never
getting to the point of 3G in SWAP before without a single
SWAP-storm.

Large-scale deployments
-----------------------
We've rolled out MGLRU to tens of millions of Chrome OS users and
about a million Android users. Google's fleetwide profiling [15] shows
an overall 40% decrease in kswapd CPU usage, in addition to
improvements in other UX metrics, e.g., an 85% decrease in the number
of low-memory kills at the 75th percentile and an 18% decrease in
app launch time at the 50th percentile.
The downstream kernels that have been using MGLRU include:
1. Android [16]
2. Arch Linux Zen [17]
3. Armbian [18]
4. Chrome OS [19]
5. Liquorix [20]
6. post-factum [21]
7. XanMod [22]
Summary
=======
The facts are:
1. The independent lab results and the real-world applications
indicate substantial improvements; there are no known regressions.
2. Thrashing prevention, working set estimation and proactive reclaim
work out of the box; there are no equivalent solutions.
3. There is a lot of new code; no smaller changes have been
demonstrated similar effects.
Our options, accordingly, are:
1. Given the amount of evidence, the reported improvements will likely
materialize for a wide range of workloads.
2. Gauging the interest from the past discussions, the new features
will likely be put to use for both personal computers and data
centers.
3. Based on Google's track record, the new code will likely be well
maintained in the long term. It'd be more difficult if not
impossible to achieve similar effects with other approaches.
This patch (of 14):
Some architectures automatically set the accessed bit in PTEs, e.g., x86
and arm64 v8.2. On architectures that do not have this capability,
clearing the accessed bit in a PTE usually triggers a page fault following
the TLB miss of this PTE (to emulate the accessed bit).
Being aware of this capability can help make better decisions, e.g.,
whether to spread the work out over a period of time to reduce bursty page
faults when trying to clear the accessed bit in many PTEs.
Note that theoretically this capability can be unreliable, e.g.,
hotplugged CPUs might be different from builtin ones. Therefore it should
not be used in architecture-independent code that involves correctness,
e.g., to determine whether TLB flushes are required (in combination with
the accessed bit).

migrate_pages(): fix THP failure counting for -ENOMEM
In unmap_and_move(), if the new THP cannot be allocated, -ENOMEM will be
returned, and migrate_pages() will try to split the THP unless "reason" is
MR_NUMA_MISPLACED (that is, nosplit == true). But when nosplit == true,
the THP migration failure will not be counted.
This is incorrect, so in this patch, the THP migration failure will be
counted for -ENOMEM regardless of nosplit is true or false. The nr_failed
counting isn't fixed because it's not used. Added some comments for it
per Baolin's suggestion.

the commit, the tail pages of THP will be put in a dedicated

memory tiering: adjust hot threshold automatically
The promotion hot threshold is workload and system configuration
dependent. So in this patch, a method to adjust the hot threshold
automatically is implemented. The basic idea is to control the number of
the candidate promotion pages to match the promotion rate limit. If the
hint page fault latency of a page is less than the hot threshold, we will
try to promote the page, and the page is called the candidate promotion
page.
If the number of the candidate promotion pages in the statistics interval
is much more than the promotion rate limit, the hot threshold will be
decreased to reduce the number of the candidate promotion pages.
Otherwise, the hot threshold will be increased to increase the number of
the candidate promotion pages.
To make the above method works, in each statistics interval, the total
number of the pages to check (on which the hint page faults occur) and the
hot/cold distribution need to be stable. Because the page tables are
scanned linearly in NUMA balancing, but the hot/cold distribution isn't
uniform along the address usually, the statistics interval should be
larger than the NUMA balancing scan period. So in the patch, the max scan
period is used as statistics interval and it works well in our tests.

memory tiering: rate limit NUMA migration throughput
In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, if there are hot pages in slow
memory node and cold pages in fast memory node, we need to promote/demote

A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible. But the CPU cycles and
memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will

A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting

the workload latency will be better. This is implemented in this patch as
the page promotion rate limit mechanism.
The number of the candidate pages to be promoted to the fast memory node

the users, the NUMA balancing promotion will be stopped until the next
second.

memory tiering: hot page selection with hint page fault latency
Patch series "memory tiering: hot page selection", v4.
To optimize page placement in a memory tiering system with NUMA balancing,
the hot pages in the slow memory nodes need to be identified.
Essentially, the original NUMA balancing implementation selects the mostly
recently accessed (MRU) pages to promote. But this isn't a perfect
algorithm to identify the hot pages. Because the pages with quite low
access frequency may be accessed eventually given the NUMA balancing page
table scanning period could be quite long (e.g. 60 seconds). So in this
patchset, we implement a new hot page identification algorithm based on
the latency between NUMA balancing page table scanning and hint page
fault. Which is a kind of mostly frequently accessed (MFU) algorithm.
In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, if there are hot pages in slow
memory node and cold pages in fast memory node, we need to promote/demote
hot/cold pages between the fast and cold memory nodes.
A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible. But the CPU cycles and
memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will
hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow
memory bandwidth contention.
A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting
throughput. It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting. But
the workload latency will be better. This is implemented in this patchset
as the page promotion rate limit mechanism.
The promotion hot threshold is workload and system configuration
dependent. So in this patchset, a method to adjust the hot threshold
automatically is implemented. The basic idea is to control the number of
the candidate promotion pages to match the promotion rate limit.
We used the pmbench memory accessing benchmark tested the patchset on a
2-socket server system with DRAM and PMEM installed. The test results are
as follows,
pmbench score promote rate
(accesses/s) MB/s
------------- ------------
base 146887704.1 725.6
hot selection 165695601.2 544.0
rate limit 162814569.8 165.2
auto adjustment 170495294.0 136.9
From the results above,
With hot page selection patch [1/3], the pmbench score increases about
12.8%, and promote rate (overhead) decreases about 25.0%, compared with
base kernel.
With rate limit patch [2/3], pmbench score decreases about 1.7%, and
promote rate decreases about 69.6%, compared with hot page selection
patch.
With threshold auto adjustment patch [3/3], pmbench score increases about
4.7%, and promote rate decrease about 17.1%, compared with rate limit
patch.
Baolin helped to test the patchset with MySQL on a machine which contains
1 DRAM node (30G) and 1 PMEM node (126G).
To optimize page placement in a memory tiering system with NUMA balancing,
the hot pages in the slow memory node need to be identified. Essentially,
the original NUMA balancing implementation selects the mostly recently
accessed (MRU) pages to promote. But this isn't a perfect algorithm to
identify the hot pages. Because the pages with quite low access frequency
may be accessed eventually given the NUMA balancing page table scanning
period could be quite long (e.g. 60 seconds). The most frequently
accessed (MFU) algorithm is better.
So, in this patch we implemented a better hot page selection algorithm.
Which is based on NUMA balancing page table scanning and hint page fault
as follows,
- When the page tables of the processes are scanned to change PTE/PMD
to be PROT_NONE, the current time is recorded in struct page as scan
time.
- When the page is accessed, hint page fault will occur. The scan
time is gotten from the struct page. And The hint page fault
latency is defined as
hint page fault time - scan time
The shorter the hint page fault latency of a page is, the higher the
probability of their access frequency to be higher. So the hint page
fault latency is a better estimation of the page hot/cold.
It's hard to find some extra space in struct page to hold the scan time.
Fortunately, we can reuse some bits used by the original NUMA balancing.
NUMA balancing uses some bits in struct page to store the page accessing
CPU and PID (referring to page_cpupid_xchg_last()). Which is used by the
multi-stage node selection algorithm to avoid to migrate pages shared
accessed by the NUMA nodes back and forth. But for pages in the slow
memory node, even if they are shared accessed by multiple NUMA nodes, as
long as the pages are hot, they need to be promoted to the fast memory
node. So the accessing CPU and PID information are unnecessary for the
slow memory pages. We can reuse these bits in struct page to record the
scan time. For the fast memory pages, these bits are used as before.
For the hot threshold, the default value is 1 second, which works well in
our performance test. All pages with hint page fault latency < hot
threshold will be considered hot.
It's hard for users to determine the hot threshold. So we don't provide a
kernel ABI to set it, just provide a debugfs interface for advanced users
to experiment. We will continue to work on a hot threshold automatic
adjustment mechanism.
The downside of the above method is that the response time to the workload
hot spot changing may be much longer. For example,
- A previous cold memory area becomes hot
- The hint page fault will be triggered. But the hint page fault
latency isn't shorter than the hot threshold. So the pages will
not be promoted.
- When the memory area is scanned again, maybe after a scan period,
the hint page fault latency measured will be shorter than the hot
threshold and the pages will be promoted.
To mitigate this, if there are enough free space in the fast memory node,
the hot threshold will not be used, all pages will be promoted upon the
hint page fault for fast response.
Thanks Zhong Jiang reported and tested the fix for a bug when disabling
memory tiering mode dynamically.

When pinning pages with FOLL_LONGTERM check_and_migrate_movable_pages() is

When migration succeeds all pages will have been unpinned so pinning needs
to be retried. This is indicated by returning zero. When all pages are
in the correct zone the number of pinned pages is returned.
However migration can also fail, in which case pages are unpinned and
-ENOMEM is returned. However if the failure was due to not being unable
to isolate a page zero is returned. This leads to indefinite looping in
__gup_longterm_locked().
Fix this by simplifying the return codes such that zero indicates all
pages were successfully pinned in the correct zone while errors indicate
either pages were migrated and pinning should be retried or that migration
has failed and therefore the pinning operation should fail.
