zone->node is configured only when CONFIG_NUMA=y, so it is a good idea to
have inline functions to access this field in order to avoid ifdef's in c
files.

Patch series "Refactor free_area_init_core and add
free_area_init_core_hotplug", v6.
This patchset does three things:
1) Clean up/refactor free_area_init_core/free_area_init_node
by moving the ifdefery out of the functions.
2) Move the pgdat/zone initialization in free_area_init_core to its
own function.
3) Introduce free_area_init_core_hotplug, a small subset of
free_area_init_core, which is only called from memhotlug code path. In this
way, we have:
free_area_init_core: called during early initialization
free_area_init_core_hotplug: called whenever a new node is allocated/re-used (memhotplug path)
This patch (of 5):
Moving the #ifdefs out of the function makes it easier to follow.

Currently cgroup-v1's memcg_stat_show traverses the memcg tree ~17 times
to collect the stats while cgroup-v2's memory_stat_show traverses the
memcg tree thrice. On a large machine, a couple thousand memcgs is very
normal and if the churn is high and memcgs stick around during to several
reasons, tens of thousands of nodes in memcg tree can exist. This patch
has refactored and shared the stat collection code between cgroup-v1 and
cgroup-v2 and has reduced the tree traversal to just one.
I ran a simple benchmark which reads the root_mem_cgroup's stat file
1000 times in the presense of 2500 memcgs on cgroup-v1. The results are:
Without the patch:
$ time ./read-root-stat-1000-times
real 0m1.663s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m1.660s
With the patch:
$ time ./read-root-stat-1000-times
real 0m0.468s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.467s

The Kconfig text for CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING doesn't mention that it has to
be enabled explicitly. This updates the documentation for that and adds a
note about CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING to the "page_poison" command line docs.
While here, change description of CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO too, as it's
not "random" data, but rather the fixed debugging value that would be used
when not zeroing. Additionally removes a stray "bool" in the Kconfig.

Andrew has noticed some inconsistencies in oom_reap_task_mm. Notably
- Undocumented return value.
- comment "failed to reap part..." is misleading - sounds like it's
referring to something which happened in the past, is in fact
referring to something which might happen in the future.
- fails to call trace_finish_task_reaping() in one case
- code duplication.
- Increases mmap_sem hold time a little by moving
trace_finish_task_reaping() inside the locked region. So sue me ;)
- Sharing the finish: path means that the trace event won't
distinguish between the two sources of finishing.
Add a short explanation for the return value and fix the rest by
reorganizing the function a bit to have unified function exit paths.

The default page memory unit of OOM task dump events might not be
intuitive and potentially misleading for the non-initiated when debugging
OOM events: These are pages and not kBs. Add a small printk prior to the
task dump informing that the memory units are actually memory _pages_.
Also extends PID field to align on up to 7 characters.

oom_reaper used to rely on the oom_lock since e2fe14564d33 ("oom_reaper:
close race with exiting task"). We do not really need the lock anymore
though. 212925802454 ("mm: oom: let oom_reap_task and exit_mmap run
concurrently") has removed serialization with the exit path based on the
mm reference count and so we do not really rely on the oom_lock anymore.
Tetsuo was arguing that at least MMF_OOM_SKIP should be set under the lock
to prevent from races when the page allocator didn't manage to get the
freed (reaped) memory in __alloc_pages_may_oom but it sees the flag later
on and move on to another victim. Although this is possible in principle
let's wait for it to actually happen in real life before we make the
locking more complex again.
Therefore remove the oom_lock for oom_reaper paths (both exit_mmap and
oom_reap_task_mm). The reaper serializes with exit_mmap by mmap_sem +
MMF_OOM_SKIP flag. There is no synchronization with out_of_memory path
now.

There are several blockable mmu notifiers which might sleep in
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start and that is a problem for the
oom_reaper because it needs to guarantee a forward progress so it cannot
depend on any sleepable locks.
Currently we simply back off and mark an oom victim with blockable mmu
notifiers as done after a short sleep. That can result in selecting a new
oom victim prematurely because the previous one still hasn't torn its
memory down yet.
We can do much better though. Even if mmu notifiers use sleepable locks
there is no reason to automatically assume those locks are held. Moreover
majority of notifiers only care about a portion of the address space and
there is absolutely zero reason to fail when we are unmapping an unrelated
range. Many notifiers do really block and wait for HW which is harder to
handle and we have to bail out though.
This patch handles the low hanging fruit.
__mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start gets a blockable flag and callbacks
are not allowed to sleep if the flag is set to false. This is achieved by
using trylock instead of the sleepable lock for most callbacks and
continue as long as we do not block down the call chain.
I think we can improve that even further because there is a common pattern
to do a range lookup first and then do something about that. The first
part can be done without a sleeping lock in most cases AFAICS.
The oom_reaper end then simply retries if there is at least one notifier
which couldn't make any progress in !blockable mode. A retry loop is
already implemented to wait for the mmap_sem and this is basically the
same thing.
The simplest way for driver developers to test this code path is to wrap
userspace code which uses these notifiers into a memcg and set the hard
limit to hit the oom. This can be done e.g. after the test faults in all
the mmu notifier managed memory and set the hard limit to something really
small. Then we are looking for a proper process tear down.

In this patch, locking related code is shared between huge/normal code
path in put_swap_page() to reduce code duplication. The `free_entries == 0`
case is merged into the more general `free_entries != SWAPFILE_CLUSTER`
case, because the new locking method makes it easy.
The added lines is same as the removed lines. But the code size is
increased when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=n.

unified: 24485 2004 340 26829 68cd mm/swapfile.o
Dig on step deeper with `size -A mm/swapfile.o` for base and unified
kernel and compare the result, yields,
-.text 17723 0

The total difference is the same. The text segment difference is much
smaller: 112. More difference comes from the ORC unwinder segments:
(1480 + 2220) - (1380 + 2070) = 250. If the frame pointer unwinder is
used, this costs nothing.

The part of __swap_entry_free() with lock held is separated into a new
function __swap_entry_free_locked(). Because we want to reuse that
piece of code in some other places.
Just mechanical code refactoring, there is no any functional change in

As suggested by Matthew Wilcox, it is better to use "int entry_size"
instead of "bool cluster" as parameter to specify whether to operate for
huge or normal swap entries. Because this improve the flexibility to
support other swap entry size. And Dave Hansen thinks that this
improves code readability too.
So in this patch, the "bool cluster" parameter of get_swap_pages() is
replaced by "int entry_size".
And nr_swap_entries() trick is used to reduce the binary size when
!CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGE_PAGE.

In swap_page_trans_huge_swapped(), to identify whether there's any page
table mapping for a 4k sized swap entry, "si->swap_map[i] !=
SWAP_HAS_CACHE" is used. This works correctly now, because all users of
the function will only call it after checking SWAP_HAS_CACHE. But as
pointed out by Daniel, it is better to use "swap_count(map[i])" here,
because it works for "map[i] == 0" case too.
And this makes the implementation more consistent between normal and
huge swap entry.

In mm/swapfile.c, THP (Transparent Huge Page) swap specific code is
enclosed by #ifdef CONFIG_THP_SWAP/#endif to avoid code dilating when
THP isn't enabled. But #ifdef/#endif in .c file hurt the code
readability, so Dave suggested to use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_THP_SWAP)
instead and let compiler to do the dirty job for us. This has potential
to remove some duplicated code too. From output of `size`,
text data bss dec hex filename
THP=y: 26269 2076 340 28685 700d mm/swapfile.o
ifdef/endif: 24115 2028 340 26483 6773 mm/swapfile.o
IS_ENABLED: 24179 2028 340 26547 67b3 mm/swapfile.o
IS_ENABLED() based solution works quite well, almost as good as that of
#ifdef/#endif. And from the diffstat, the removed lines are more than
added lines.
One #ifdef for split_swap_cluster() is kept. Because it is a public
function with a stub implementation for CONFIG_THP_SWAP=n in swap.h.

Patch series "swap: THP optimizing refactoring", v4.
Now the THP (Transparent Huge Page) swap optimizing is implemented in the
way like below,
#ifdef CONFIG_THP_SWAP
huge_function(...)
{
}
#else
normal_function(...)
{
}
#endif
general_function(...)
{
if (huge)
return thp_function(...);
else
return normal_function(...);
}
As pointed out by Dave Hansen, this will,
1. Create a new, wholly untested code path for huge page
2. Create two places to patch bugs
3. Are not reusing code when possible
This patchset is to address these problems via merging huge/normal code

One concern is that this may cause code size to dilate when
!CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE. The data shows that most refactoring will
only cause quite slight code size increase.

There is a sad BUG introduced in patch adding SHRINKER_REGISTERING.
shrinker_idr business is only for memcg-aware shrinkers. Only such type
of shrinkers have id and they must be finaly installed via idr_replace()
in this function. For !memcg-aware shrinkers we never initialize
shrinker->id field.
But there are all types of shrinkers passed to idr_replace(), and every
!memcg-aware shrinker with random ID (most probably, its id is 0)
replaces memcg-aware shrinker pointed by the ID in IDR.
This patch fixes the problem.

When perf profiling a wide variety of different workloads, it was found
that vmacache_find() had higher than expected cost: up to 0.08% of cpu
utilization in some cases. This was found to rival other core VM
functions such as alloc_pages_vma() with thp enabled and default
mempolicy, and the conditionals in __get_vma_policy().
VMACACHE_HASH() determines which of the four per-task_struct slots a vma
is cached for a particular address. This currently depends on the pfn,
so pfn 5212 occupies a different vmacache slot than its neighboring pfn
5213.
vmacache_find() iterates through all four of current's vmacache slots
when looking up an address. Hashing based on pfn, an address has
~1/VMACACHE_SIZE chance of being cached in the first vmacache slot, or
about 25%, *if* the vma is cached.
This patch hashes an address by its pmd instead of pte to optimize for
workloads with good spatial locality. This results in a higher
probability of vmas being cached in the first slot that is checked:
normally ~70% on the same workloads instead of 25%.

Provide list_lru_shrink_walk_irq() and let it behave like
list_lru_walk_one() except that it locks the spinlock with
spin_lock_irq(). This is used by scan_shadow_nodes() because its lock
nests within the i_pages lock which is acquired with IRQ. This change
allows to use proper locking promitives instead hand crafted
lock_irq_disable() plus spin_lock().
There is no EXPORT_SYMBOL provided because the current user is in-kernel
only.
Add list_lru_shrink_walk_irq() which acquires the spinlock with the
proper locking primitives.

__list_lru_walk_one()
__list_lru_walk_one() is invoked with struct list_lru *lru, int nid as
the first two argument. Those two are only used to retrieve struct
list_lru_node. Since this is already done by the caller of the function
for the locking, we can pass struct list_lru_node* directly and avoid
the dance around it.

Patch series "mm/list_lru: Add list_lru_shrink_walk_irq() and a user".
This series removes the local_irq_disable() around
list_lru_shrink_walk() (as used by mm/workingset) by adding
list_lru_shrink_walk_irq().
Vladimir Davydov preferred this over `irq' argument which I added to
struct list_lru.
The initial post (of this series) received a Reviewed-by tag by Vladimir
Davydov which I added to each patch of the series. The series applies
on top of akpm's tree which has Kirill's shrink_slab series and does not
clash with it (akpm asked me to wait a week or so and repost it then).
I tested the code paths by triggering the OOM-killer via memory over
commit and lockdep did not complain (nor did I see any warnings).
This patch (of 4):
list_lru_walk_node() invokes __list_lru_walk_one() with -1 as the
memcg_idx parameter. The same can be achieved by list_lru_walk_one() and
passing NULL as memcg argument which then gets converted into -1. This is
a preparation step when the spin_lock() function is lifted to the caller
of __list_lru_walk_one(). Invoke list_lru_walk_one() instead
__list_lru_walk_one() when possible.

CONFIG_THP_SWAP should depend on CONFIG_SWAP, because it's unreasonable
to optimize swapping for THP (Transparent Huge Page) without basic
swapping support.
In original code, when CONFIG_SWAP=n and CONFIG_THP_SWAP=y,
split_swap_cluster() will not be built because it is in swapfile.c, but
it will be called in huge_memory.c. This doesn't trigger a build error
in practice because the call site is enclosed by PageSwapCache(), which
is defined to be constant 0 when CONFIG_SWAP=n. But this is fragile and
should be fixed.
The comments are fixed too to reflect the latest progress.

sparse_init() requires to temporary allocate two large buffers: usemap_map
and map_map. Baoquan He has identified that these buffers are so large
that Linux is not bootable on small memory machines, such as a kdump boot.
The buffers are especially large when CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL is set, as they
are scaled to the maximum physical memory size.
Baoquan provided a fix, which reduces these sizes of these buffers, but it
is much better to get rid of them entirely.
Add a new way to initialize sparse memory: sparse_init_nid(), which only
operates within one memory node, and thus allocates memory either in large
contiguous block or allocates section by section. This eliminates the
need for use of temporary buffers.
For simplified bisecting and review temporarly call sparse_init()
new_sparse_init(), the new interface is going to be enabled as well as old
code removed in the next patch.

Patch series "sparse_init rewrite", v6.
In sparse_init() we allocate two large buffers to temporary hold usemap
and memmap for the whole machine. However, we can avoid doing that if
we changed sparse_init() to operated on per-node bases instead of doing
it on the whole machine beforehand.
As shown by Baoquan
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180628062857.29658-1-bhe@redhat.com
The buffers are large enough to cause machine stop to boot on small
memory systems.
Another benefit of these changes is that they also obsolete
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_ALLOC_MEM_MAP_TOGETHER.
This patch (of 5):
When struct pages are allocated for sparse-vmemmap VA layout, we first try
to allocate one large buffer, and than if that fails allocate struct pages
for each section as we go.
The code that allocates buffer is uses global variables and is spread
across several call sites.
Cleanup the code by introducing three functions to handle the global
buffer:
sparse_buffer_init() initialize the buffer
sparse_buffer_fini() free the remaining part of the buffer
sparse_buffer_alloc() alloc from the buffer, and if buffer is empty
return NULL
Define these functions in sparse.c instead of sparse-vmemmap.c because
later we will use them for non-vmemmap sparse allocations as well.

When using 1GiB pages during early boot, use the new
memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_raw() to allocate memory without zeroing it.
Zeroing out hundreds or thousands of GiB in a single core memset() call
is very slow, and can make early boot last upwards of 20-30 minutes on
multi TiB machines.
The memory does not need to be zero'd as the hugetlb pages are always
zero'd on page fault.
Tested: Booted with ~3800 1G pages, and it booted successfully in
roughly the same amount of time as with 0, as opposed to the 25+ minutes
it would take before.

To improve page allocator's performance for order-0 pages, each CPU has
a Per-CPU-Pageset(PCP) per zone. Whenever an order-0 page is needed,
PCP will be checked first before asking pages from Buddy. When PCP is
used up, a batch of pages will be fetched from Buddy to improve
performance and the size of batch can affect performance.
zone's batch size gets doubled last time by commit ba56e91c9401("mm:
page_alloc: increase size of per-cpu-pages") over ten years ago. Since
then, CPU has envolved a lot and CPU's cache sizes also increased.
Dave Hansen is concerned the current batch size doesn't fit well with
modern hardware and suggested me to do two things: first, use a page
allocator intensive benchmark, e.g. will-it-scale/page_fault1 to find
out how performance changes with different batch sizes on various
machines and then choose a new default batch size; second, see how this
new batch size work with other workloads.
In the first test, we saw performance gains on high-core-count systems
and little to no effect on older systems with more modest core counts.
In this phase's test data, two candidates: 63 and 127 are chosen.
In the second step, ebizzy, oltp, kbuild, pigz, netperf, vm-scalability
and more will-it-scale sub-tests are tested to see how these two
candidates work with these workloads and decides a new default according
to their results.
Most test results are flat. will-it-scale/page_fault2 process mode has
10%-18% performance increase on 4-sockets Skylake and Broadwell.
vm-scalability/lru-file-mmap-read has 17%-47% performance increase for
4-sockets servers while for 2-sockets servers, it caused 3%-8% performance
drop. Further analysis showed that, with a larger pcp->batch and thus
larger pcp->high(the relationship of pcp->high=6 * pcp->batch is
maintained in this patch), zone lock contention shifted to LRU add side
lock contention and that caused performance drop. This performance drop
might be mitigated by others' work on optimizing LRU lock.
Another downside of increasing pcp->batch is, when PCP is used up and need
to fetch a batch of pages from Buddy, since batch is increased, that time
can be longer than before. My understanding is, this doesn't affect
slowpath where direct reclaim and compaction dominates. For fastpath,
throughput is a win(according to will-it-scale/page_fault1) but worst
latency can be larger now.
Overall, I think double the batch size from 31 to 63 is relatively safe
and provide good performance boost for high-core-count systems.
The two phase's test results are listed below(all tests are done with THP
disabled).
Phase one(will-it-scale/page_fault1) test results:
Skylake-EX: increased batch size has a good effect on zone->lock
contention, though LRU contention will rise at the same time and
limited the final performance increase.

Skylake-EP: although increased batch reduced zone->lock contention, but
the effect is not as good as EX: zone->lock contention is still as high as
20% with a very high batch value instead of 1% on Skylake-EX or 5% on
Broadwell-EX. Also, total_contention actually decreased with a higher
batch but that doesn't translate to performance increase.

Sandybridge-Desktop: the 0% contention isn't accurate but caused by
dropped fractional part. Since multiple contention path's contentions
are all under 1% here, with some arithmetic operations like add, the
final deviation could be as large as 3%.

This reverts ee8f248d266e ("hugetlb: add phys addr to struct
huge_bootmem_page").
At one time powerpc used this field and supporting code. However that
was removed with commit 79cc38ded1e1 ("powerpc/mm/hugetlb: Add support
for reserving gigantic huge pages via kernel command line").
There are no users of this field and supporting code, so remove it.

Tetsuo has pointed out that since 27ae357fa82b ("mm, oom: fix concurrent
munlock and oom reaper unmap, v3") we have a strong synchronization
between the oom_killer and victim's exiting because both have to take
the oom_lock. Therefore the original heuristic to sleep for a short
time in out_of_memory doesn't serve the original purpose.
Moreover Tetsuo has noticed that the short sleep can be more harmful
than actually useful. Hammering the system with many processes can lead
to a starvation when the task holding the oom_lock can block for a long
time (minutes) and block any further progress because the oom_reaper
depends on the oom_lock as well.
Drop the short sleep from out_of_memory when we hold the lock. Keep the
sleep when the trylock fails to throttle the concurrent OOM paths a bit.
This should be solved in a more reasonable way (e.g. sleep proportional
to the time spent in the active reclaiming etc.) but this is much more
complex thing to achieve. This is a quick fixup to remove a stale code.

cma_alloc() doesn't really support gfp flags other than __GFP_NOWARN, so
convert gfp_mask parameter to boolean no_warn parameter.
This will help to avoid giving false feeling that this function supports
standard gfp flags and callers can pass __GFP_ZERO to get zeroed buffer,
what has already been an issue: see commit dd65a941f6ba ("arm64:
dma-mapping: clear buffers allocated with FORCE_CONTIGUOUS flag").

There was a bug in Linux that could cause madvise (and mprotect?) system
calls to return to userspace without the TLB having been flushed for all
the pages involved.
This could happen when multiple threads of a process made simultaneous
madvise and/or mprotect calls.
This was noticed in the summer of 2017, at which time two solutions
were created:
56236a59556c ("mm: refactor TLB gathering API")
99baac21e458 ("mm: fix MADV_[FREE|DONTNEED] TLB flush miss problem")
and
4647706ebeee ("mm: always flush VMA ranges affected by zap_page_range")
We need only one of these solutions, and the former appears to be a
little more efficient than the latter, so revert that one.
This reverts 4647706ebeee6e50 ("mm: always flush VMA ranges affected by
zap_page_range")

In sparse_init(), two temporary pointer arrays, usemap_map and map_map
are allocated with the size of NR_MEM_SECTIONS. They are used to store
each memory section's usemap and mem map if marked as present. With the
help of these two arrays, continuous memory chunk is allocated for
usemap and memmap for memory sections on one node. This avoids too many
memory fragmentations. Like below diagram, '1' indicates the present
memory section, '0' means absent one. The number 'n' could be much
smaller than NR_MEM_SECTIONS on most of systems.
|1|1|1|1|0|0|0|0|1|1|0|0|...|1|0||1|0|...|1||0|1|...|0|
-------------------------------------------------------
0 1 2 3 4 5 i i+1 n-1 n
If we fail to populate the page tables to map one section's memmap, its
->section_mem_map will be cleared finally to indicate that it's not
present. After use, these two arrays will be released at the end of
sparse_init().
In 4-level paging mode, each array costs 4M which can be ignorable.
While in 5-level paging, they costs 256M each, 512M altogether. Kdump
kernel Usually only reserves very few memory, e.g 256M. So, even thouth
they are temporarily allocated, still not acceptable.
In fact, there's no need to allocate them with the size of
NR_MEM_SECTIONS. Since the ->section_mem_map clearing has been deferred
to the last, the number of present memory sections are kept the same
during sparse_init() until we finally clear out the memory section's
->section_mem_map if its usemap or memmap is not correctly handled.
Thus in the middle whenever for_each_present_section_nr() loop is taken,
the i-th present memory section is always the same one.
Here only allocate usemap_map and map_map with the size of
'nr_present_sections'. For the i-th present memory section, install its
usemap and memmap to usemap_map[i] and mam_map[i] during allocation.
Then in the last for_each_present_section_nr() loop which clears the
failed memory section's ->section_mem_map, fetch usemap and memmap from
usemap_map[] and map_map[] array and set them into mem_section[]
accordingly.

In sparse_init(), if CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_ALLOC_MEM_MAP_TOGETHER=y, system
will allocate one continuous memory chunk for mem maps on one node and
populate the relevant page tables to map memory section one by one. If
fail to populate for a certain mem section, print warning and its
->section_mem_map will be cleared to cancel the marking of being
present. Like this, the number of mem sections marked as present could
become less during sparse_init() execution.
Here just defer the ms->section_mem_map clearing if failed to populate
its page tables until the last for_each_present_section_nr() loop. This
is in preparation for later optimizing the mem map allocation.

Patch series "mm/sparse: Optimize memmap allocation during
sparse_init()", v6.
In sparse_init(), two temporary pointer arrays, usemap_map and map_map
are allocated with the size of NR_MEM_SECTIONS. They are used to store
each memory section's usemap and mem map if marked as present. In
5-level paging mode, this will cost 512M memory though they will be
released at the end of sparse_init(). System with few memory, like
kdump kernel which usually only has about 256M, will fail to boot
because of allocation failure if CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y.
In this patchset, optimize the memmap allocation code to only use
usemap_map and map_map with the size of nr_present_sections. This makes
kdump kernel boot up with normal crashkernel='' setting when
CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y.
This patch (of 5):
nr_present_sections is used to record how many memory sections are
marked as present during system boot up, and will be used in the later
patch.

The patch introduces a special value SHRINKER_REGISTERING to use instead
of list_empty() to differ a registering shrinker from unregistered
shrinker. Why we need that at all?
Shrinker registration is split in two parts. The first one is
prealloc_shrinker(), which allocates shrinker memory and reserves ID in
shrinker_idr. This function can fail. The second is
register_shrinker_prepared(), and it finalizes the registration. This
function actually makes shrinker available to be used from
shrink_slab(), and it can't fail.
One shrinker may be based on more then one LRU lists. So, we never
clear the bit in memcg shrinker maps, when (one of) corresponding LRU
list becomes empty, since other LRU lists may be not empty. See
superblock shrinker for example: it is based on two LRU lists:
s_inode_lru and s_dentry_lru. We do not want to clear shrinker bit,
when there are no inodes in s_inode_lru, as s_dentry_lru may contain
dentries.
Instead of that, we use special algorithm to detect shrinkers having no
elements at all its LRU lists, and this is made in shrink_slab_memcg().
See the comment in this function for the details.
Also, in shrink_slab_memcg() we clear shrinker bit in the map, when we
meet unregistered shrinker (bit is set, while there is no a shrinker in
IDR). Otherwise, we would have done that at the moment of shrinker
unregistration for all memcgs (and this looks worse, since iteration
over all memcg may take much time). Also this would have imposed
restrictions on shrinker unregistration order for its users: they would
have had to guarantee, there are no new elements after
unregister_shrinker() (otherwise, a new added element would have set a
bit).
So, if we meet a set bit in map and no shrinker in IDR when we're
iterating over the map in shrink_slab_memcg(), this means the
corresponding shrinker is unregistered, and we must clear the bit.
Another case is shrinker registration. We want two things there:
1) do_shrink_slab() can be called only for completely registered
shrinkers;
2) shrinker internal lists may be populated in any order with
register_shrinker_prepared() (let's talk on the example with sb). Both
of:
a)list_lru_add(&inode->i_sb->s_inode_lru, &inode->i_lru); [cpu0]
memcg_set_shrinker_bit(); [cpu0]
...
register_shrinker_prepared(); [cpu1]
and
b)register_shrinker_prepared(); [cpu0]
...
list_lru_add(&inode->i_sb->s_inode_lru, &inode->i_lru); [cpu1]
memcg_set_shrinker_bit(); [cpu1]
are legitimate. We don't want to impose restriction here and to
force people to use only (b) variant. We don't want to force people to
care, there is no elements in LRU lists before the shrinker is
completely registered. Internal users of LRU lists and shrinker code
are two different subsystems, and they have to be closed in themselves
each other.
In (a) case we have the bit set before shrinker is completely
registered. We don't want do_shrink_slab() is called at this moment, so
we have to detect such the registering shrinkers.
Before this patch list_empty() (shrinker is not linked to the list)
check was used for that. So, in (a) there could be a bit set, but we
don't call do_shrink_slab() unless shrinker is linked to the list. It's
just an indicator, I just overloaded linking to the list.
This was not the best solution, since it's better not to touch the
shrinker memory from shrink_slab_memcg() before it's completely
registered (this also will be useful in the future to make shrink_slab()
completely lockless).
So, this patch introduces better way to detect registering shrinker,
which allows not to dereference shrinker memory. It's just a ~0UL
value, which we insert into the IDR during ID allocation. After
shrinker is ready to be used, we insert actual shrinker pointer in the
IDR, and it becomes available to shrink_slab_memcg().
We can't use NULL instead of this new value for this purpose as:
shrink_slab_memcg() already uses NULL to detect unregistered shrinkers,
and we don't want the function sees NULL and clears the bit, otherwise
(a) won't work.
This is the only thing the patch makes: the better way to detect
registering shrinker. Nothing else this patch makes.
Also this gives a better assembler, but it's minor side of the patch:

In case of shrink_slab_memcg() we do not zero nid, when shrinker is not
numa-aware. This is not a real problem, since currently all memcg-aware
shrinkers are numa-aware too (we have two: super_block shrinker and
workingset shrinker), but something may change in the future.

To avoid further unneed calls of do_shrink_slab() for shrinkers, which
already do not have any charged objects in a memcg, their bits have to
be cleared.
This patch introduces a lockless mechanism to do that without races
without parallel list lru add. After do_shrink_slab() returns
SHRINK_EMPTY the first time, we clear the bit and call it once again.
Then we restore the bit, if the new return value is different.
Note, that single smp_mb__after_atomic() in shrink_slab_memcg() covers
two situations:
1)list_lru_add() shrink_slab_memcg
list_add_tail() for_each_set_bit() <--- read bit
do_shrink_slab() <--- missed list update (no barrier)
<MB> <MB>
set_bit() do_shrink_slab() <--- seen list update
This situation, when the first do_shrink_slab() sees set bit, but it
doesn't see list update (i.e., race with the first element queueing), is
rare. So we don't add <MB> before the first call of do_shrink_slab()
instead of this to do not slow down generic case. Also, it's need the
second call as seen in below in (2).
2)list_lru_add() shrink_slab_memcg()
list_add_tail() ...
set_bit() ...
... for_each_set_bit()
do_shrink_slab() do_shrink_slab()
clear_bit() ...
... ...
list_lru_add() ...
list_add_tail() clear_bit()
<MB> <MB>
set_bit() do_shrink_slab()
The barriers guarantee that the second do_shrink_slab() in the right
side task sees list update if really cleared the bit. This case is
drawn in the code comment.
[Results/performance of the patchset]

$mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct
$echo 4000M > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ct/memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes

Then, 5 sequential calls of drop caches:

We need to distinguish the situations when shrinker has very small
amount of objects (see vfs_pressure_ratio() called from
super_cache_count()), and when it has no objects at all. Currently, in
the both of these cases, shrinker::count_objects() returns 0.
The patch introduces new SHRINK_EMPTY return value, which will be used
for "no objects at all" case. It's is a refactoring mostly, as
SHRINK_EMPTY is replaced by 0 by all callers of do_shrink_slab() in this
patch, and all the magic will happen in further.

The patch makes shrink_slab() be called for root_mem_cgroup in the same
way as it's called for the rest of cgroups. This simplifies the logic
and improves the readability.

Using the preparations made in previous patches, in case of memcg
shrink, we may avoid shrinkers, which are not set in memcg's shrinkers
bitmap. To do that, we separate iterations over memcg-aware and
!memcg-aware shrinkers, and memcg-aware shrinkers are chosen via
for_each_set_bit() from the bitmap. In case of big nodes, having many
isolated environments, this gives significant performance growth. See
next patches for the details.
Note that the patch does not respect to empty memcg shrinkers, since we
never clear the bitmap bits after we set it once. Their shrinkers will
be called again, with no shrinked objects as result. This functionality
is provided by next patches.

appearance
Introduce set_shrinker_bit() function to set shrinker-related bit in
memcg shrinker bitmap, and set the bit after the first item is added and
in case of reparenting destroyed memcg's items.
This will allow next patch to make shrinkers be called only, in case of
they have charged objects at the moment, and to improve shrink_slab()
performance.
