mm: memcontrol: drop dead CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP config symbol

2022-10-03T21:03:36+00:00

Since 2d1c498072de ("mm: memcontrol: make swap tracking an integral part
of memory control"), CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP hasn't been a user-visible config
option anymore, it just means CONFIG_MEMCG && CONFIG_SWAP.

Update the sites accordingly and drop the symbol.

[ While touching the docs, remove two references to CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM,
  which hasn't been a user-visible symbol for over half a decade. ]

shmem: convert shmem_replace_page() to use folios throughout

2022-10-03T21:02:45+00:00

Introduce folio_set_swap_entry() to abstract how both folio->private and
swp_entry_t work.  Use swap_address_space() directly instead of
indirecting through folio_mapping().  Include an assertion that the old
folio is not large as we only allocate a single-page folio to replace it. 
Use folio_put_refs() instead of calling folio_put() twice.

mm: multi-gen LRU: support page table walks

2022-09-27T02:46:09+00:00

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.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Most of the MM queue. A few things are still pending.

  Liam's maple tree rework didn't make it. This has resulted in a few
  other minor patch series being held over for next time.

  Multi-gen LRU still isn't merged as we were waiting for mapletree to
  stabilize. The current plan is to merge MGLRU into -mm soon and to
  later reintroduce mapletree, with a view to hopefully getting both
  into 6.1-rc1.

  Summary:

   - The usual batches of cleanups from Baoquan He, Muchun Song, Miaohe
     Lin, Yang Shi, Anshuman Khandual and Mike Rapoport

   - Some kmemleak fixes from Patrick Wang and Waiman Long

   - DAMON updates from SeongJae Park

   - memcg debug/visibility work from Roman Gushchin

   - vmalloc speedup from Uladzislau Rezki

   - more folio conversion work from Matthew Wilcox

   - enhancements for coherent device memory mapping from Alex Sierra

   - addition of shared pages tracking and CoW support for fsdax, from
     Shiyang Ruan

   - hugetlb optimizations from Mike Kravetz

   - Mel Gorman has contributed some pagealloc changes to improve
     latency and realtime behaviour.

   - mprotect soft-dirty checking has been improved by Peter Xu

   - Many other singleton patches all over the place"

mm: vmpressure: don't count proactive reclaim in vmpressure

2022-07-30T01:07:15+00:00

memory.reclaim is a cgroup v2 interface that allows users to proactively
reclaim memory from a memcg, without real memory pressure.  Reclaim
operations invoke vmpressure, which is used: (a) To notify userspace of
reclaim efficiency in cgroup v1, and (b) As a signal for a memcg being
under memory pressure for networking (see
mem_cgroup_under_socket_pressure()).

For (a), vmpressure notifications in v1 are not affected by this change
since memory.reclaim is a v2 feature.

For (b), the effects of the vmpressure signal (according to Shakeel [1])
are as follows:
1. Reducing send and receive buffers of the current socket.
2. May drop packets on the rx path.
3. May throttle current thread on the tx path.

Since proactive reclaim is invoked directly by userspace, not by memory
pressure, it makes sense not to throttle networking.  Hence, this change
makes sure that proactive reclaim caused by memory.reclaim does not
trigger vmpressure.
