mm: memcontrol: account kernel stack per node

2020-08-07T18:33:25+00:00

Currently the kernel stack is being accounted per-zone.  There is no need
to do that.  In addition due to being per-zone, memcg has to keep a
separate MEMCG_KERNEL_STACK_KB.  Make the stat per-node and deprecate
MEMCG_KERNEL_STACK_KB as memcg_stat_item is an extension of
node_stat_item.  In addition localize the kernel stack stats updates to
account_kernel_stack().

mm: memcg: convert vmstat slab counters to bytes

2020-08-07T18:33:24+00:00

In order to prepare for per-object slab memory accounting, convert
NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE vmstat items to bytes.

To make it obvious, rename them to NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B and
NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B (similar to NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB).

Internally global and per-node counters are stored in pages, however memcg
and lruvec counters are stored in bytes.  This scheme may look weird, but
only for now.  As soon as slab pages will be shared between multiple
cgroups, global and node counters will reflect the total number of slab
pages.  However memcg and lruvec counters will be used for per-memcg slab
memory tracking, which will take separate kernel objects in the account.
Keeping global and node counters in pages helps to avoid additional
overhead.

The size of slab memory shouldn't exceed 4Gb on 32-bit machines, so it
will fit into atomic_long_t we use for vmstats.

mm: memcg: prepare for byte-sized vmstat items

2020-08-07T18:33:24+00:00

To implement per-object slab memory accounting, we need to convert slab
vmstat counters to bytes.  Actually, out of 4 levels of counters: global,
per-node, per-memcg and per-lruvec only two last levels will require
byte-sized counters.  It's because global and per-node counters will be
counting the number of slab pages, and per-memcg and per-lruvec will be
counting the amount of memory taken by charged slab objects.

Converting all vmstat counters to bytes or even all slab counters to bytes
would introduce an additional overhead.  So instead let's store global and
per-node counters in pages, and memcg and lruvec counters in bytes.

To make the API clean all access helpers (both on the read and write
sides) are dealing with bytes.

To avoid back-and-forth conversions a new flavor of read-side helpers is
introduced, which always returns values in pages: node_page_state_pages()
and global_node_page_state_pages().

Actually new helpers are just reading raw values.  Old helpers are simple
wrappers, which will complain on an attempt to read byte value, because at
the moment no one actually needs bytes.

Thanks to Johannes Weiner for the idea of having the byte-sized API on top
of the page-sized internal storage.

mm/writeback: discard NR_UNSTABLE_NFS, use NR_WRITEBACK instead

2020-06-02T17:59:08+00:00

After an NFS page has been written it is considered "unstable" until a
COMMIT request succeeds.  If the COMMIT fails, the page will be
re-written.

These "unstable" pages are currently accounted as "reclaimable", either
in WB_RECLAIMABLE, or in NR_UNSTABLE_NFS which is included in a
'reclaimable' count.  This might have made sense when sending the COMMIT
required a separate action by the VFS/MM (e.g.  releasepage() used to
send a COMMIT).  However now that all writes generated by ->writepages()
will automatically be followed by a COMMIT (since commit 919e3bd9a875
("NFS: Ensure we commit after writeback is complete")) it makes more
sense to treat them as writeback pages.

So this patch removes NR_UNSTABLE_NFS and accounts unstable pages in
NR_WRITEBACK and WB_WRITEBACK.

A particular effect of this change is that when
wb_check_background_flush() calls wb_over_bg_threshold(), the latter
will report 'true' a lot less often as the 'unstable' pages are no
longer considered 'dirty' (as there is nothing that writeback can do
about them anyway).

Currently wb_check_background_flush() will trigger writeback to NFS even
when there are relatively few dirty pages (if there are lots of unstable
pages), this can result in small writes going to the server (10s of
Kilobytes rather than a Megabyte) which hurts throughput.  With this
patch, there are fewer writes which are each larger on average.

Where the NR_UNSTABLE_NFS count was included in statistics
virtual-files, the entry is retained, but the value is hard-coded as
zero.  static trace points and warning printks which mentioned this
counter no longer report it.

mm/sparse: rename pfn_present() to pfn_in_present_section()

2020-04-02T16:35:30+00:00

After introducing mem sub section concept, pfn_present() loses its literal
meaning, and will not be necessary a truth on partial populated mem
section.

Since all of the callers use it to judge an absent section, it is better
to rename pfn_present() as pfn_in_present_section().

mm/vmstat: add helpers to get vmstat item names for each enum type

2019-12-05T03:44:11+00:00

Statistics in vmstat is combined from counters with different structure,
but names for them are merged into one array.

This patch adds trivial helpers to get name for each item:

  const char *zone_stat_name(enum zone_stat_item item);
  const char *numa_stat_name(enum numa_stat_item item);
  const char *node_stat_name(enum node_stat_item item);
  const char *writeback_stat_name(enum writeback_stat_item item);
  const char *vm_event_name(enum vm_event_item item);

Names for enum writeback_stat_item are folded in the middle of
vmstat_text so this patch moves declaration into header to calculate
offset of following items.

Also this patch reuses piece of node stat names for lru list names:

  const char *lru_list_name(enum lru_list lru);

This returns common lru list names: "inactive_anon", "active_anon",
"inactive_file", "active_file", "unevictable".

drivers/base/memory.c: don't store end_section_nr in memory blocks

2019-09-24T22:54:09+00:00

Each memory block spans the same amount of sections/pages/bytes.  The size
is determined before the first memory block is created.  No need to store
what we can easily calculate - and the calculations even look simpler now.

Michal brought up the idea of variable-sized memory blocks.  However, if
we ever implement something like this, we will need an API compatibility
switch and reworks at various places (most code assumes a fixed memory
block size).  So let's cleanup what we have right now.

While at it, fix the variable naming in register_mem_sect_under_node() -
we no longer talk about a single section.
