ksm: let shared pages be swappable
Initial implementation for swapping out KSM's shared pages: add
page_referenced_ksm() and try_to_unmap_ksm(), which rmap.c calls when
faced with a PageKsm page.
Most of what's needed can be got from the rmap_items listed from the
stable_node of the ksm page, without discovering the actual vma: so in
this patch just fake up a struct vma for page_referenced_one() or
try_to_unmap_one(), then refine that in the next patch.
Add VM_NONLINEAR to ksm_madvise()'s list of exclusions: it has always been
implicit there (being only set with VM_SHARED, already excluded), but
let's make it explicit, to help justify the lack of nonlinear unmap.
Rely on the page lock to protect against concurrent modifications to that
page's node of the stable tree.
The awkward part is not swapout but swapin: do_swap_page() and
page_add_anon_rmap() now have to allow for new possibilities - perhaps a
ksm page still in swapcache, perhaps a swapcache page associated with one
location in one anon_vma now needed for another location or anon_vma.
(And the vma might even be no longer VM_MERGEABLE when that happens.)
ksm_might_need_to_copy() checks for that case, and supplies a duplicate
page when necessary, simply leaving it to a subsequent pass of ksmd to
rediscover the identity and merge them back into one ksm page.
Disappointingly primitive: but the alternative would have to accumulate
unswappable info about the swapped out ksm pages, limiting swappability.
Remove page_add_ksm_rmap(): page_add_anon_rmap() now has to allow for the
particular case it was handling, so just use it instead.

mm/swapfile.c: sort swap entries before free
To reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock when freeing
swap entry. The freed swap entries will be collected in a per-CPU
buffer firstly, and be really freed later in batch. During the batch
freeing, if the consecutive swap entries in the per-CPU buffer belongs
to same swap device, the swap_info_struct->lock needs to be
acquired/released only once, so that the lock contention could be
reduced greatly. But if there are multiple swap devices, it is possible
that the lock may be unnecessarily released/acquired because the swap
entries belong to the same swap device are non-consecutive in the
per-CPU buffer.
To solve the issue, the per-CPU buffer is sorted according to the swap
device before freeing the swap entries.
With the patch, the memory (some swapped out) free time reduced 11.6%
(from 2.65s to 2.35s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-rand test case with
16 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device
used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
swapping, the test case creates 16 processes, which allocate and write
to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used
up, finally the memory (some swapped out) is freed before exit.

swap_info: swap count continuations
Swap is duplicated (reference count incremented by one) whenever the same
swap page is inserted into another mm (when forking finds a swap entry in
place of a pte, or when reclaim unmaps a pte to insert the swap entry).
swap_info_struct's vmalloc'ed swap_map is the array of these reference
counts: but what happens when the unsigned short (or unsigned char since
the preceding patch) is full? (and its high bit is kept for a cache flag)
We then lose track of it, never freeing, leaving it in use until swapoff:
at which point we _hope_ that a single pass will have found all instances,
assume there are no more, and will lose user data if we're wrong.
Swapping of KSM pages has not yet been enabled; but it is implemented,
and makes it very easy for a user to overflow the maximum swap count:
possible with ordinary process pages, but unlikely, even when pid_max
has been raised from PID_MAX_DEFAULT.
This patch implements swap count continuations: when the count overflows,
a continuation page is allocated and linked to the original vmalloc'ed
map page, and this used to hold the continuation counts for that entry
and its neighbours. These continuation pages are seldom referenced:
the common paths all work on the original swap_map, only referring to
a continuation page when the low "digit" of a count is incremented or
decremented through SWAP_MAP_MAX.

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile
swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even
slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes
from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new
per-partition lock.
Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and
swap_list are still protected by swap_lock.
nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In
theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually
there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem.
Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only
protected by swap_info_struct.lock.
Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and
swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the
flags is ok with either the locks hold.
If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold
the former first to avoid deadlock.
swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a
new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we
check it. If it's valid, we use it.
It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice,
swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can
say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And
BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free
swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the
lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly
recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me.
But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem.
"swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the
swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the
speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test,
so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node
If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node
information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap
device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance.
The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide
which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same
priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous
single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each
numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap
devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's
swap_avail_list.
The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value,
or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The
priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap
device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy
doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous
starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then
downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value.
Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are
available, each sit on a different node:
swapA on node 0
swapB on node 1
swapC on node 2
swapD on node 3
After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD.
Current behaviour:
their priorities will be:
swapA: -1
swapB: -2
swapC: -3
swapD: -4
And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be:
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
New behaviour:
their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped):
swapA: -2
swapB: -3
swapC: -4
swapD: -5
And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be:
swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */
swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */
swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */
swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap
a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random
position to trigger both swap in and out is used.
On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives
are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the
result is:
runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G
kernel throughput
vanilla 13306
auto-binding 15169 +14%
runtime=30m/processes=64/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=2G

swap: change swap_info singly-linked list to list_head
The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries
for all active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because:
- it stores the entries in priority order
- there is a pointer to the highest priority entry
- there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry
- there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock
- swap entries of equal priority should be used equally
this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally.
That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists,
but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to
understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic.
The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list
using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed
and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority
swap_info entry, even if it's full. While this does introduce unnecessary
list iteration (i.e. Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where
one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and
manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug;
and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration.
The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new
really, just functions to match existing regular list functions. These
are used by the next two patches.
The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in
the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries
(which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that
all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally.
The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist
that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full.
As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from
swap - plists handle ordering automatically. The list naming is also
clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed
from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named
swap_avail_head. A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so
swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as
they become full or not full.
This patch (of 4):
Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e. swapon'ed,
swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct
list_heads. Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of
entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head
functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic.
The change fixes the bug:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry
are incorrectly used equally in pairs. The swap behavior is now as
advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and
equal priority swap targets are used concurrently.

swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_head
Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked
list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index,
which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap
target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the
singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start
at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest
priority entry each time, even if the entry is full.
Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head.
Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist
contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new
swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and
available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect
the swap_avail_head list.
Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering
the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing
manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct
entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically
ordered correctly.
Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and
optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full
swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist
allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the
plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not
do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change
from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main
swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node
If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node
information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap
device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance.
The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide
which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same
priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous
single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each
numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap
devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's
swap_avail_list.
The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value,
or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The
priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap
device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy
doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous
starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then
downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value.
Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are
available, each sit on a different node:
swapA on node 0
swapB on node 1
swapC on node 2
swapD on node 3
After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD.
Current behaviour:
their priorities will be:
swapA: -1
swapB: -2
swapC: -3
swapD: -4
And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be:
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
New behaviour:
their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped):
swapA: -2
swapB: -3
swapC: -4
swapD: -5
And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be:
swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */
swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */
swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */
swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap
a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random
position to trigger both swap in and out is used.
On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives
are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the
result is:
runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G
kernel throughput
vanilla 13306
auto-binding 15169 +14%
runtime=30m/processes=64/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=2G
kernel throughput
vanilla 11885
auto-binding 14879 +25%

swap_info: swap count continuations
Swap is duplicated (reference count incremented by one) whenever the same
swap page is inserted into another mm (when forking finds a swap entry in
place of a pte, or when reclaim unmaps a pte to insert the swap entry).
swap_info_struct's vmalloc'ed swap_map is the array of these reference
counts: but what happens when the unsigned short (or unsigned char since
the preceding patch) is full? (and its high bit is kept for a cache flag)
We then lose track of it, never freeing, leaving it in use until swapoff:
at which point we _hope_ that a single pass will have found all instances,
assume there are no more, and will lose user data if we're wrong.
Swapping of KSM pages has not yet been enabled; but it is implemented,
and makes it very easy for a user to overflow the maximum swap count:
possible with ordinary process pages, but unlikely, even when pid_max
has been raised from PID_MAX_DEFAULT.
This patch implements swap count continuations: when the count overflows,
a continuation page is allocated and linked to the original vmalloc'ed
map page, and this used to hold the continuation counts for that entry
and its neighbours. These continuation pages are seldom referenced:
the common paths all work on the original swap_map, only referring to
a continuation page when the low "digit" of a count is incremented or
decremented through SWAP_MAP_MAX.

mm, swap: use offset of swap entry as key of swap cache
This patch is to improve the performance of swap cache operations when
the type of the swap device is not 0. Originally, the whole swap entry
value is used as the key of the swap cache, even though there is one
radix tree for each swap device. If the type of the swap device is not
0, the height of the radix tree of the swap cache will be increased
unnecessary, especially on 64bit architecture. For example, for a 1GB
swap device on the x86_64 architecture, the height of the radix tree of
the swap cache is 11. But if the offset of the swap entry is used as
the key of the swap cache, the height of the radix tree of the swap
cache is 4. The increased height causes unnecessary radix tree
descending and increased cache footprint.
This patch reduces the height of the radix tree of the swap cache via
using the offset of the swap entry instead of the whole swap entry value
as the key of the swap cache. In 32 processes sequential swap out test
case on a Xeon E5 v3 system with RAM disk as swap, the lock contention
for the spinlock of the swap cache is reduced from 20.15% to 12.19%,
when the type of the swap device is 1.
Use the whole swap entry as key,

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out
Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.
This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
(THP) swap.
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.
As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
This patch (of 5):
In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.
This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.
In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.
In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.
The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.
The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.
The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.
The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out
Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.
This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
(THP) swap.
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD
I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to
20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to
80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to
search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow.
Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only
care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a
cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If
the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters
will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With
this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears.
This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is
aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently.
We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough
and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see
below).
The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free
cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too.
And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end
of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do
search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this
isn't a problem at all.
Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will
reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big
problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason
I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

mm, THP, swap: support to reclaim swap space for THP swapped out
The normal swap slot reclaiming can be done when the swap count reaches
SWAP_HAS_CACHE. But for the swap slot which is backing a THP, all swap
slots backing one THP must be reclaimed together, because the swap slot
may be used again when the THP is swapped out again later. So the swap
slots backing one THP can be reclaimed together when the swap count for
all swap slots for the THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE. In the patch, the
functions to check whether the swap count for all swap slots backing one
THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE are implemented and used when checking
whether a swap slot can be reclaimed.
To make it easier to determine whether a swap slot is backing a THP, a
new swap cluster flag named CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE is added to mark a swap
cluster which is backing a THP (Transparent Huge Page). Because THP
swap in as a whole isn't supported now. After deleting the THP from the
swap cache (for example, swapping out finished), the CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE
flag will be cleared. So that, the normal pages inside THP can be
swapped in individually.

mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

swap: make swap discard async
swap can do cluster discard for SSD, which is good, but there are some
problems here:
1. swap do the discard just before page reclaim gets a swap entry and
writes the disk sectors. This is useless for high end SSD, because an
overwrite to a sector implies a discard to original sector too. A
discard + overwrite == overwrite.
2. the purpose of doing discard is to improve SSD firmware garbage
collection. Idealy we should send discard as early as possible, so
firmware can do something smart. Sending discard just after swap entry
is freed is considered early compared to sending discard before write.
Of course, if workload is already bound to gc speed, sending discard
earlier or later doesn't make
3. block discard is a sync API, which will delay scan_swap_map()
significantly.
4. Write and discard command can be executed parallel in PCIe SSD.
Making swap discard async can make execution more efficiently.
This patch makes swap discard async and moves discard to where swap entry
is freed. Discard and write have no dependence now, so above issues can
be avoided. Idealy we should do discard for any freed sectors, but some
SSD discard is very slow. This patch still does discard for a whole
cluster.
My test does a several round of 'mmap, write, unmap', which will trigger a
lot of swap discard. In a fusionio card, with this patch, the test
runtime is reduced to 18% of the time without it, so around 5.5x faster.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out
Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.
This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
(THP) swap.
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.
As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
This patch (of 5):
In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.
This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.
In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.
In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.
The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.
The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.
The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.
The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

swap: make swap discard async
swap can do cluster discard for SSD, which is good, but there are some
problems here:
1. swap do the discard just before page reclaim gets a swap entry and
writes the disk sectors. This is useless for high end SSD, because an
overwrite to a sector implies a discard to original sector too. A
discard + overwrite == overwrite.
2. the purpose of doing discard is to improve SSD firmware garbage
collection. Idealy we should send discard as early as possible, so
firmware can do something smart. Sending discard just after swap entry
is freed is considered early compared to sending discard before write.
Of course, if workload is already bound to gc speed, sending discard
earlier or later doesn't make
3. block discard is a sync API, which will delay scan_swap_map()
significantly.
4. Write and discard command can be executed parallel in PCIe SSD.
Making swap discard async can make execution more efficiently.
This patch makes swap discard async and moves discard to where swap entry
is freed. Discard and write have no dependence now, so above issues can
be avoided. Idealy we should do discard for any freed sectors, but some
SSD discard is very slow. This patch still does discard for a whole
cluster.
My test does a several round of 'mmap, write, unmap', which will trigger a
lot of swap discard. In a fusionio card, with this patch, the test
runtime is reduced to 18% of the time without it, so around 5.5x faster.

mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out
Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.
This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
(THP) swap.
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.
As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
This patch (of 5):
In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.
This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.
In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.
In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.
The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.
The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.
The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.
The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.
As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
This patch (of 5):
In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.
This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.
In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.
In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.
The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.
The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.
The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.
The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD
I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to
20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to
80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to
search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow.
Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only
care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a
cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If
the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters
will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With
this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears.
This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is
aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently.
We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough
and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see
below).
The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free
cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too.
And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end
of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do
search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this
isn't a problem at all.
Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will
reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big
problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason
I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out
Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.
This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
(THP) swap.
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management

the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned

of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do
search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this
isn't a problem at all.
Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will
reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big
problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason
I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

swap: make cluster allocation per-cpu
swap cluster allocation is to get better request merge to improve
performance. But the cluster is shared globally, if multiple tasks are
doing swap, this will cause interleave disk access. While multiple tasks
swap is quite common, for example, each numa node has a kswapd thread
doing swap and multiple threads/processes doing direct page reclaim.
ioscheduler can't help too much here, because tasks don't send swapout IO
down to block layer in the meantime. Block layer does merge some IOs, but
a lot not, depending on how many tasks are doing swapout concurrently. In
practice, I've seen a lot of small size IO in swapout workloads.
We makes the cluster allocation per-cpu here. The interleave disk access
issue goes away. All tasks swapout to their own cluster, so swapout will
become sequential, which can be easily merged to big size IO. If one CPU
can't get its per-cpu cluster (for example, there is no free cluster
anymore in the swap), it will fallback to scan swap_map. The CPU can
still continue swap. We don't need recycle free swap entries of other
CPUs.
In my test (swap to a 2-disk raid0 partition), this improves around 10%
swapout throughput, and request size is increased significantly.
How does this impact swap readahead is uncertain though. On one side,
page reclaim always isolates and swaps several adjancent pages, this will
make page reclaim write the pages sequentially and benefit readahead. On
the other side, several CPU write pages interleave means the pages don't
live _sequentially_ but relatively _near_. In the per-cpu allocation
case, if adjancent pages are written by different cpus, they will live
relatively _far_. So how this impacts swap readahead depends on how many
pages page reclaim isolates and swaps one time. If the number is big,
this patch will benefit swap readahead. Of course, this is about
sequential access pattern. The patch has no impact for random access
pattern, because the new cluster allocation algorithm is just for SSD.
Alternative solution is organizing swap layout to be per-mm instead of
this per-cpu approach. In the per-mm layout, we allocate a disk range for
each mm, so pages of one mm live in swap disk adjacently. per-mm layout
has potential issues of lock contention if multiple reclaimers are swap
pages from one mm. For a sequential workload, per-mm layout is better to
implement swap readahead, because pages from the mm are adjacent in disk.
But per-cpu layout isn't very bad in this workload, as page reclaim always
isolates and swaps several pages one time, such pages will still live in
disk sequentially and readahead can utilize this. For a random workload,
per-mm layout isn't beneficial of request merge, because it's quite
possible pages from different mm are swapout in the meantime and IO can't
be merged in per-mm layout. while with per-cpu layout we can merge
requests from any mm. Considering random workload is more popular in
workloads with swap (and per-cpu approach isn't too bad for sequential
workload too), I'm choosing per-cpu layout.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD
I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to
20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to
80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to
search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow.
Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only
care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a
cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If
the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters
will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With
this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears.
This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is
aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently.
We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough
and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see
below).
The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free
cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too.
And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end
of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do
search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this
isn't a problem at all.

mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

doing swap, this will cause interleave disk access. While multiple tasks

ioscheduler can't help too much here, because tasks don't send swapout IO
down to block layer in the meantime. Block layer does merge some IOs, but
a lot not, depending on how many tasks are doing swapout concurrently. In
practice, I've seen a lot of small size IO in swapout workloads.
We makes the cluster allocation per-cpu here. The interleave disk access
issue goes away. All tasks swapout to their own cluster, so swapout will
become sequential, which can be easily merged to big size IO. If one CPU
can't get its per-cpu cluster (for example, there is no free cluster
anymore in the swap), it will fallback to scan swap_map. The CPU can
still continue swap. We don't need recycle free swap entries of other
CPUs.
In my test (swap to a 2-disk raid0 partition), this improves around 10%
swapout throughput, and request size is increased significantly.
How does this impact swap readahead is uncertain though. On one side,
page reclaim always isolates and swaps several adjancent pages, this will
make page reclaim write the pages sequentially and benefit readahead. On
the other side, several CPU write pages interleave means the pages don't
live _sequentially_ but relatively _near_. In the per-cpu allocation
case, if adjancent pages are written by different cpus, they will live
relatively _far_. So how this impacts swap readahead depends on how many
pages page reclaim isolates and swaps one time. If the number is big,
this patch will benefit swap readahead. Of course, this is about
sequential access pattern. The patch has no impact for random access
pattern, because the new cluster allocation algorithm is just for SSD.
Alternative solution is organizing swap layout to be per-mm instead of
this per-cpu approach. In the per-mm layout, we allocate a disk range for
each mm, so pages of one mm live in swap disk adjacently. per-mm layout
has potential issues of lock contention if multiple reclaimers are swap
pages from one mm. For a sequential workload, per-mm layout is better to
implement swap readahead, because pages from the mm are adjacent in disk.
But per-cpu layout isn't very bad in this workload, as page reclaim always
isolates and swaps several pages one time, such pages will still live in
disk sequentially and readahead can utilize this. For a random workload,
per-mm layout isn't beneficial of request merge, because it's quite
possible pages from different mm are swapout in the meantime and IO can't
be merged in per-mm layout. while with per-cpu layout we can merge
requests from any mm. Considering random workload is more popular in
workloads with swap (and per-cpu approach isn't too bad for sequential
workload too), I'm choosing per-cpu layout.

mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

swap: make cluster allocation per-cpu
swap cluster allocation is to get better request merge to improve
performance. But the cluster is shared globally, if multiple tasks are
doing swap, this will cause interleave disk access. While multiple tasks
swap is quite common, for example, each numa node has a kswapd thread
doing swap and multiple threads/processes doing direct page reclaim.
ioscheduler can't help too much here, because tasks don't send swapout IO
down to block layer in the meantime. Block layer does merge some IOs, but
a lot not, depending on how many tasks are doing swapout concurrently. In
practice, I've seen a lot of small size IO in swapout workloads.
We makes the cluster allocation per-cpu here. The interleave disk access
issue goes away. All tasks swapout to their own cluster, so swapout will
become sequential, which can be easily merged to big size IO. If one CPU
can't get its per-cpu cluster (for example, there is no free cluster
anymore in the swap), it will fallback to scan swap_map. The CPU can
still continue swap. We don't need recycle free swap entries of other
CPUs.
In my test (swap to a 2-disk raid0 partition), this improves around 10%
swapout throughput, and request size is increased significantly.
How does this impact swap readahead is uncertain though. On one side,
page reclaim always isolates and swaps several adjancent pages, this will
make page reclaim write the pages sequentially and benefit readahead. On
the other side, several CPU write pages interleave means the pages don't
live _sequentially_ but relatively _near_. In the per-cpu allocation
case, if adjancent pages are written by different cpus, they will live
relatively _far_. So how this impacts swap readahead depends on how many

possible pages from different mm are swapout in the meantime and IO can't
be merged in per-mm layout. while with per-cpu layout we can merge
requests from any mm. Considering random workload is more popular in
workloads with swap (and per-cpu approach isn't too bad for sequential
workload too), I'm choosing per-cpu layout.

mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

swap: make cluster allocation per-cpu
swap cluster allocation is to get better request merge to improve
performance. But the cluster is shared globally, if multiple tasks are
doing swap, this will cause interleave disk access. While multiple tasks
swap is quite common, for example, each numa node has a kswapd thread
doing swap and multiple threads/processes doing direct page reclaim.
ioscheduler can't help too much here, because tasks don't send swapout IO
down to block layer in the meantime. Block layer does merge some IOs, but
a lot not, depending on how many tasks are doing swapout concurrently. In
practice, I've seen a lot of small size IO in swapout workloads.
We makes the cluster allocation per-cpu here. The interleave disk access
issue goes away. All tasks swapout to their own cluster, so swapout will
become sequential, which can be easily merged to big size IO. If one CPU
can't get its per-cpu cluster (for example, there is no free cluster
anymore in the swap), it will fallback to scan swap_map. The CPU can
still continue swap. We don't need recycle free swap entries of other
CPUs.
In my test (swap to a 2-disk raid0 partition), this improves around 10%
swapout throughput, and request size is increased significantly.
How does this impact swap readahead is uncertain though. On one side,
page reclaim always isolates and swaps several adjancent pages, this will
make page reclaim write the pages sequentially and benefit readahead. On
the other side, several CPU write pages interleave means the pages don't
live _sequentially_ but relatively _near_. In the per-cpu allocation
case, if adjancent pages are written by different cpus, they will live
relatively _far_. So how this impacts swap readahead depends on how many
pages page reclaim isolates and swaps one time. If the number is big,
this patch will benefit swap readahead. Of course, this is about
sequential access pattern. The patch has no impact for random access
pattern, because the new cluster allocation algorithm is just for SSD.
Alternative solution is organizing swap layout to be per-mm instead of
this per-cpu approach. In the per-mm layout, we allocate a disk range for
each mm, so pages of one mm live in swap disk adjacently. per-mm layout
has potential issues of lock contention if multiple reclaimers are swap
pages from one mm. For a sequential workload, per-mm layout is better to
implement swap readahead, because pages from the mm are adjacent in disk.
But per-cpu layout isn't very bad in this workload, as page reclaim always
isolates and swaps several pages one time, such pages will still live in
disk sequentially and readahead can utilize this. For a random workload,
per-mm layout isn't beneficial of request merge, because it's quite
possible pages from different mm are swapout in the meantime and IO can't
be merged in per-mm layout. while with per-cpu layout we can merge
requests from any mm. Considering random workload is more popular in
workloads with swap (and per-cpu approach isn't too bad for sequential
workload too), I'm choosing per-cpu layout.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD
I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to
20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to
80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to
search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow.
Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only
care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a
cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If
the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters
will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With
this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears.
This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is
aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently.
We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough
and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see
below).
The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free
cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too.
And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end
of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do
search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this
isn't a problem at all.
Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will
reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big
problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason
I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

swap: choose swap device according to numa node
If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node
information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap
device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance.
The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide
which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same
priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous
single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each
numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap
devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's
swap_avail_list.
The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value,
or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The
priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap
device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy
doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous
starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then
downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value.
Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are
available, each sit on a different node:
swapA on node 0
swapB on node 1
swapC on node 2
swapD on node 3
After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD.
Current behaviour:
their priorities will be:
swapA: -1
swapB: -2
swapC: -3
swapD: -4
And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be:
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
New behaviour:
their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped):
swapA: -2
swapB: -3
swapC: -4
swapD: -5
And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be:
swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */
swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */
swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */
swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap
a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random
position to trigger both swap in and out is used.
On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives
are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the
result is:
runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G
kernel throughput

auto-binding 15169 +14%

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out
Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.
This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
(THP) swap.
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.
As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
This patch (of 5):
In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.
This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.
In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.
In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.
The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.
The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.
The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.
The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out
Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.
This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
(THP) swap.
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.
As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
This patch (of 5):
In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.
This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.
In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.
In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.
The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.
The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.
The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.
The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node
If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node
information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap
device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance.
The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide
which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same
priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous
single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each
numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap
devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's
swap_avail_list.
The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value,
or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The
priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap
device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy
doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous
starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then
downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value.
Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are
available, each sit on a different node:
swapA on node 0
swapB on node 1
swapC on node 2
swapD on node 3
After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD.
Current behaviour:
their priorities will be:
swapA: -1
swapB: -2
swapC: -3
swapD: -4
And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be:
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
New behaviour:
their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped):
swapA: -2
swapB: -3
swapC: -4
swapD: -5
And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be:
swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */
swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */
swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */
swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap
a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random
position to trigger both swap in and out is used.
On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives
are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the
result is:
runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G
kernel throughput
vanilla 13306
auto-binding 15169 +14%
runtime=30m/processes=64/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=2G

There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible

reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
This patch (of 5):
In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.
This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.
In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.
In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.
The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.
The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.
The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.
The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

[PATCH] swap: scan_swap_map drop swap_device_lock
get_swap_page has often shown up on latency traces, doing lengthy scans while
holding two spinlocks. swap_list_lock is already dropped, now scan_swap_map
drop swap_device_lock before scanning the swap_map.
While scanning for an empty cluster, don't worry that racing tasks may
allocate what was free and free what was allocated; but when allocating an
entry, check it's still free after retaking the lock. Avoid dropping the lock
in the expected common path. No barriers beyond the locks, just let the
cookie crumble; highest_bit limit is volatile, but benign.
Guard against swapoff: must check SWP_WRITEOK before allocating, must raise
SWP_SCANNING reference count while in scan_swap_map, swapoff wait for that to
fall - just use schedule_timeout, we don't want to burden scan_swap_map
itself, and it's very unlikely that anyone can really still be in
scan_swap_map once swapoff gets this far.

swap: make cluster allocation per-cpu
swap cluster allocation is to get better request merge to improve
performance. But the cluster is shared globally, if multiple tasks are
doing swap, this will cause interleave disk access. While multiple tasks
swap is quite common, for example, each numa node has a kswapd thread
doing swap and multiple threads/processes doing direct page reclaim.
ioscheduler can't help too much here, because tasks don't send swapout IO
down to block layer in the meantime. Block layer does merge some IOs, but
a lot not, depending on how many tasks are doing swapout concurrently. In
practice, I've seen a lot of small size IO in swapout workloads.
We makes the cluster allocation per-cpu here. The interleave disk access
issue goes away. All tasks swapout to their own cluster, so swapout will
become sequential, which can be easily merged to big size IO. If one CPU
can't get its per-cpu cluster (for example, there is no free cluster
anymore in the swap), it will fallback to scan swap_map. The CPU can
still continue swap. We don't need recycle free swap entries of other
CPUs.
In my test (swap to a 2-disk raid0 partition), this improves around 10%
swapout throughput, and request size is increased significantly.
How does this impact swap readahead is uncertain though. On one side,
page reclaim always isolates and swaps several adjancent pages, this will
make page reclaim write the pages sequentially and benefit readahead. On
the other side, several CPU write pages interleave means the pages don't
live _sequentially_ but relatively _near_. In the per-cpu allocation
case, if adjancent pages are written by different cpus, they will live
relatively _far_. So how this impacts swap readahead depends on how many
pages page reclaim isolates and swaps one time. If the number is big,
this patch will benefit swap readahead. Of course, this is about
sequential access pattern. The patch has no impact for random access
pattern, because the new cluster allocation algorithm is just for SSD.
Alternative solution is organizing swap layout to be per-mm instead of
this per-cpu approach. In the per-mm layout, we allocate a disk range for
each mm, so pages of one mm live in swap disk adjacently. per-mm layout
has potential issues of lock contention if multiple reclaimers are swap
pages from one mm. For a sequential workload, per-mm layout is better to
implement swap readahead, because pages from the mm are adjacent in disk.
But per-cpu layout isn't very bad in this workload, as page reclaim always
isolates and swaps several pages one time, such pages will still live in
disk sequentially and readahead can utilize this. For a random workload,
per-mm layout isn't beneficial of request merge, because it's quite
possible pages from different mm are swapout in the meantime and IO can't
be merged in per-mm layout. while with per-cpu layout we can merge
requests from any mm. Considering random workload is more popular in
workloads with swap (and per-cpu approach isn't too bad for sequential
workload too), I'm choosing per-cpu layout.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD
I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to
20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to
80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to
search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow.
Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only
care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a
cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If
the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters
will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With
this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears.
This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is
aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently.
We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough
and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see
below).
The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free
cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too.
And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end
of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do
search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this
isn't a problem at all.
Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will
reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big
problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason
I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile
swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even
slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes
from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new
per-partition lock.
Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and
swap_list are still protected by swap_lock.
nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In
theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually
there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem.
Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only
protected by swap_info_struct.lock.
Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and
swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the
flags is ok with either the locks hold.
If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold
the former first to avoid deadlock.
swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a
new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we
check it. If it's valid, we use it.
It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice,
swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can
say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And
BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free
swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the
lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly
recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me.
But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem.
"swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the
swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the
speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test,
so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only
protected by swap_info_struct.lock.
Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and
swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the
flags is ok with either the locks hold.
If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold
the former first to avoid deadlock.
swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a
new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we
check it. If it's valid, we use it.
It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice,
swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can
say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And
BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free
swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the
lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly
recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me.
But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem.
"swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the
swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the
speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test,
so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile
swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even
slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes
from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new

swap: make cluster allocation per-cpu
swap cluster allocation is to get better request merge to improve
performance. But the cluster is shared globally, if multiple tasks are
doing swap, this will cause interleave disk access. While multiple tasks
swap is quite common, for example, each numa node has a kswapd thread
doing swap and multiple threads/processes doing direct page reclaim.
ioscheduler can't help too much here, because tasks don't send swapout IO
down to block layer in the meantime. Block layer does merge some IOs, but
a lot not, depending on how many tasks are doing swapout concurrently. In
practice, I've seen a lot of small size IO in swapout workloads.
We makes the cluster allocation per-cpu here. The interleave disk access
issue goes away. All tasks swapout to their own cluster, so swapout will
become sequential, which can be easily merged to big size IO. If one CPU
can't get its per-cpu cluster (for example, there is no free cluster
anymore in the swap), it will fallback to scan swap_map. The CPU can
still continue swap. We don't need recycle free swap entries of other
CPUs.
In my test (swap to a 2-disk raid0 partition), this improves around 10%
swapout throughput, and request size is increased significantly.
How does this impact swap readahead is uncertain though. On one side,
page reclaim always isolates and swaps several adjancent pages, this will
make page reclaim write the pages sequentially and benefit readahead. On
the other side, several CPU write pages interleave means the pages don't
live _sequentially_ but relatively _near_. In the per-cpu allocation
case, if adjancent pages are written by different cpus, they will live
relatively _far_. So how this impacts swap readahead depends on how many
pages page reclaim isolates and swaps one time. If the number is big,
this patch will benefit swap readahead. Of course, this is about
sequential access pattern. The patch has no impact for random access
pattern, because the new cluster allocation algorithm is just for SSD.
Alternative solution is organizing swap layout to be per-mm instead of
this per-cpu approach. In the per-mm layout, we allocate a disk range for
each mm, so pages of one mm live in swap disk adjacently. per-mm layout
has potential issues of lock contention if multiple reclaimers are swap
pages from one mm. For a sequential workload, per-mm layout is better to
implement swap readahead, because pages from the mm are adjacent in disk.
But per-cpu layout isn't very bad in this workload, as page reclaim always
isolates and swaps several pages one time, such pages will still live in
disk sequentially and readahead can utilize this. For a random workload,
per-mm layout isn't beneficial of request merge, because it's quite
possible pages from different mm are swapout in the meantime and IO can't
be merged in per-mm layout. while with per-cpu layout we can merge
requests from any mm. Considering random workload is more popular in
workloads with swap (and per-cpu approach isn't too bad for sequential
workload too), I'm choosing per-cpu layout.

[PATCH] swap: scan_swap_map drop swap_device_lock
get_swap_page has often shown up on latency traces, doing lengthy scans while
holding two spinlocks. swap_list_lock is already dropped, now scan_swap_map
drop swap_device_lock before scanning the swap_map.
While scanning for an empty cluster, don't worry that racing tasks may
allocate what was free and free what was allocated; but when allocating an
entry, check it's still free after retaking the lock. Avoid dropping the lock
in the expected common path. No barriers beyond the locks, just let the
cookie crumble; highest_bit limit is volatile, but benign.
Guard against swapoff: must check SWP_WRITEOK before allocating, must raise
SWP_SCANNING reference count while in scan_swap_map, swapoff wait for that to
fall - just use schedule_timeout, we don't want to burden scan_swap_map
itself, and it's very unlikely that anyone can really still be in
scan_swap_map once swapoff gets this far.

mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only

Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and
swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the

If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold
the former first to avoid deadlock.
swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a
new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we
check it. If it's valid, we use it.
It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice,
swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can
say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And
BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free
swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the
lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly
recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me.
But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem.
"swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the
swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the
speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test,
so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile
swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even
slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes
from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new
per-partition lock.
Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and
swap_list are still protected by swap_lock.
nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In
theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually
there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem.
Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only
protected by swap_info_struct.lock.
Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and
swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the
flags is ok with either the locks hold.
If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold
the former first to avoid deadlock.
swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a
new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we
check it. If it's valid, we use it.
It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice,
swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can
say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And
BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free
swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the
lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly
recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me.
But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem.
"swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the
swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the
speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test,
so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out
Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.
This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
(THP) swap.
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.
As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
This patch (of 5):
In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.
This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.
In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.
In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.
The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.
The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.
The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.
The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

[PATCH] swap: scan_swap_map drop swap_device_lock
get_swap_page has often shown up on latency traces, doing lengthy scans while
holding two spinlocks. swap_list_lock is already dropped, now scan_swap_map
drop swap_device_lock before scanning the swap_map.
While scanning for an empty cluster, don't worry that racing tasks may
allocate what was free and free what was allocated; but when allocating an
entry, check it's still free after retaking the lock. Avoid dropping the lock
in the expected common path. No barriers beyond the locks, just let the
cookie crumble; highest_bit limit is volatile, but benign.
Guard against swapoff: must check SWP_WRITEOK before allocating, must raise
SWP_SCANNING reference count while in scan_swap_map, swapoff wait for that to
fall - just use schedule_timeout, we don't want to burden scan_swap_map
itself, and it's very unlikely that anyone can really still be in
scan_swap_map once swapoff gets this far.

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile
swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even
slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes
from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new
per-partition lock.
Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and
swap_list are still protected by swap_lock.
nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In
theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually
there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem.
Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only
protected by swap_info_struct.lock.
Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and
swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the
flags is ok with either the locks hold.
If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold
the former first to avoid deadlock.
swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a
new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we
check it. If it's valid, we use it.
It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice,
swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can
say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And
BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free
swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the
lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly
recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me.
But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem.
"swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the
swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the
speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test,
so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

[PATCH] swap: scan_swap_map drop swap_device_lock
get_swap_page has often shown up on latency traces, doing lengthy scans while
holding two spinlocks. swap_list_lock is already dropped, now scan_swap_map
drop swap_device_lock before scanning the swap_map.
While scanning for an empty cluster, don't worry that racing tasks may
allocate what was free and free what was allocated; but when allocating an
entry, check it's still free after retaking the lock. Avoid dropping the lock
in the expected common path. No barriers beyond the locks, just let the
cookie crumble; highest_bit limit is volatile, but benign.
Guard against swapoff: must check SWP_WRITEOK before allocating, must raise
SWP_SCANNING reference count while in scan_swap_map, swapoff wait for that to
fall - just use schedule_timeout, we don't want to burden scan_swap_map
itself, and it's very unlikely that anyone can really still be in
scan_swap_map once swapoff gets this far.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out
Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.
This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
(THP) swap.
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.
As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
This patch (of 5):
In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.
This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.
In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.
In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.
The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.
The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.
The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.
The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

mm, THP, swap: support to reclaim swap space for THP swapped out
The normal swap slot reclaiming can be done when the swap count reaches
SWAP_HAS_CACHE. But for the swap slot which is backing a THP, all swap
slots backing one THP must be reclaimed together, because the swap slot
may be used again when the THP is swapped out again later. So the swap
slots backing one THP can be reclaimed together when the swap count for
all swap slots for the THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE. In the patch, the
functions to check whether the swap count for all swap slots backing one
THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE are implemented and used when checking
whether a swap slot can be reclaimed.
To make it easier to determine whether a swap slot is backing a THP, a
new swap cluster flag named CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE is added to mark a swap
cluster which is backing a THP (Transparent Huge Page). Because THP
swap in as a whole isn't supported now. After deleting the THP from the
swap cache (for example, swapping out finished), the CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE
flag will be cleared. So that, the normal pages inside THP can be
swapped in individually.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out
Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.
This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
(THP) swap.
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.
As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
This patch (of 5):
In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.
This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.
In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.
In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.
The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.
The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.
The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.
The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

swap: change swap_info singly-linked list to list_head
The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries
for all active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because:
- it stores the entries in priority order
- there is a pointer to the highest priority entry
- there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry
- there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock
- swap entries of equal priority should be used equally
this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally.
That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists,
but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to
understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic.
The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list
using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed
and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority
swap_info entry, even if it's full. While this does introduce unnecessary
list iteration (i.e. Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where
one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and
manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug;
and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration.
The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new
really, just functions to match existing regular list functions. These
are used by the next two patches.
The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in
the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries
(which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that
all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally.
The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist
that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full.
As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from
swap - plists handle ordering automatically. The list naming is also
clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed
from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named
swap_avail_head. A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so
swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as
they become full or not full.
This patch (of 4):
Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e. swapon'ed,
swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct
list_heads. Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of
entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head
functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic.
The change fixes the bug:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry
are incorrectly used equally in pairs. The swap behavior is now as
advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and
equal priority swap targets are used concurrently.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node
If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node
information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap
device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance.
The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide
which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same
priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous
single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each
numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap
devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's
swap_avail_list.
The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value,
or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The
priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap
device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy
doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous
starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then
downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value.
Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are
available, each sit on a different node:
swapA on node 0
swapB on node 1
swapC on node 2
swapD on node 3
After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD.
Current behaviour:
their priorities will be:
swapA: -1
swapB: -2
swapC: -3
swapD: -4
And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be:
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
New behaviour:
their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped):
swapA: -2
swapB: -3
swapC: -4
swapD: -5
And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be:
swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */
swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */
swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */
swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap
a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random
position to trigger both swap in and out is used.
On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives
are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the
result is:
runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G
kernel throughput
vanilla 13306
auto-binding 15169 +14%

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out
Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.
This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
(THP) swap.
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.
As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
This patch (of 5):
In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.
This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.
In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.
In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.
The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.
The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.
The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.
The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_head
Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked
list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index,
which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap
target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the
singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start
at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest
priority entry each time, even if the entry is full.
Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head.
Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist
contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new
swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and
available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect
the swap_avail_head list.
Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering
the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing
manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct
entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically
ordered correctly.
Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and
optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full
swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist
allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the
plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not
do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change
from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main
swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then
downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value.

swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_head
Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked
list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index,
which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap
target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the
singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start
at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest
priority entry each time, even if the entry is full.
Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head.
Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist
contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new
swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and
available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect
the swap_avail_head list.
Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering
the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing
manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct
entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically
ordered correctly.
Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and
optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full
swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist
allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the
plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not
do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change
from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main
swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node
If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node
information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap
device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance.
The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide
which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same
priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous
single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each
numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap
devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's
swap_avail_list.
The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value,
or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The
priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap
device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy
doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous
starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then
downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value.
Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are
available, each sit on a different node:
swapA on node 0
swapB on node 1
swapC on node 2
swapD on node 3
After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD.
Current behaviour:
their priorities will be:
swapA: -1
swapB: -2
swapC: -3
swapD: -4
And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be:
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
New behaviour:
their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped):
swapA: -2
swapB: -3
swapC: -4
swapD: -5
And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be:
swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */
swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */
swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile
swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even
slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes
from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new
per-partition lock.
Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and
swap_list are still protected by swap_lock.
nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In
theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually
there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem.
Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only
protected by swap_info_struct.lock.
Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and
swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the
flags is ok with either the locks hold.
If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold
the former first to avoid deadlock.
swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a
new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we
check it. If it's valid, we use it.
It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice,
swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can
say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And
BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free
swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the
lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly
recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me.
But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem.
"swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the
swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the
speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test,
so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

swap: change swap_info singly-linked list to list_head
The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries
for all active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because:
- it stores the entries in priority order
- there is a pointer to the highest priority entry
- there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry
- there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock
- swap entries of equal priority should be used equally
this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally.
That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists,
but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to
understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic.
The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list
using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed
and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority
swap_info entry, even if it's full. While this does introduce unnecessary
list iteration (i.e. Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where
one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and
manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug;
and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration.
The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new
really, just functions to match existing regular list functions. These
are used by the next two patches.
The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in
the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries
(which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that
all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally.
The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist
that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full.
As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from
swap - plists handle ordering automatically. The list naming is also
clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed
from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named
swap_avail_head. A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so
swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as
they become full or not full.
This patch (of 4):
Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e. swapon'ed,
swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct
list_heads. Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of
entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head
functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic.
The change fixes the bug:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry
are incorrectly used equally in pairs. The swap behavior is now as
advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and
equal priority swap targets are used concurrently.

swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_head
Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked

contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new
swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and
available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect
the swap_avail_head list.
Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering
the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing
manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct
entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically
ordered correctly.
Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and
optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full
swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist
allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the
plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not
do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change
from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main
swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node
If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node
information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap
device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance.
The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide
which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same
priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous
single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each
numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap
devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's
swap_avail_list.
The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value,
or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The
priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap
device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy
doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous
starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then
downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value.
Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are
available, each sit on a different node:
swapA on node 0
swapB on node 1
swapC on node 2
swapD on node 3
After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD.
Current behaviour:
their priorities will be:
swapA: -1
swapB: -2
swapC: -3
swapD: -4
And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be:
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
New behaviour:
their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped):
swapA: -2
swapB: -3
swapC: -4
swapD: -5
And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be:
swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */
swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */
swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */
swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap
a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random
position to trigger both swap in and out is used.
On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives
are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the
result is:
runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G
kernel throughput
vanilla 13306
auto-binding 15169 +14%
runtime=30m/processes=64/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=2G

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile
swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even
slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes
from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new
per-partition lock.
Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and
swap_list are still protected by swap_lock.
nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In
theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually
there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem.
Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only
protected by swap_info_struct.lock.
Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and
swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the
flags is ok with either the locks hold.
If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold
the former first to avoid deadlock.
swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a
new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we
check it. If it's valid, we use it.
It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice,
swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can
say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And
BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free
swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the
lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly
recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me.
But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem.
"swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the
swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the
speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test,
so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_head
Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked
list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index,
which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap
target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the
singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start
at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest
priority entry each time, even if the entry is full.
Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head.
Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist
contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new
swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and
available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect
the swap_avail_head list.
Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering
the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing
manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct
entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically
ordered correctly.
Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and
optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full
swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist
allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the
plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not
do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change
from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main
swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out
Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.
This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
(THP) swap.
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.
As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
This patch (of 5):
In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.
This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.
In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.
In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.
The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.
The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.
The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.
The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.
As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
This patch (of 5):
In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.
This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.
In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.
In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.
The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.
The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.
The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.
The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_head
Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked
list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index,
which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap
target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the
singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start
at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest
priority entry each time, even if the entry is full.
Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head.
Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist
contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new
swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and
available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect
the swap_avail_head list.
Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering
the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing
manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct
entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically
ordered correctly.
Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and
optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full
swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist
allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the
plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not
do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change
from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main
swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

swap: change swap_info singly-linked list to list_head
The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries
for all active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because:
- it stores the entries in priority order
- there is a pointer to the highest priority entry
- there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry
- there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock
- swap entries of equal priority should be used equally
this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally.
That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists,
but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to
understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic.
The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list
using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed
and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority
swap_info entry, even if it's full. While this does introduce unnecessary
list iteration (i.e. Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where
one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and
manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug;
and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration.
The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new
really, just functions to match existing regular list functions. These
are used by the next two patches.
The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in
the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries
(which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that
all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally.
The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist
that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full.
As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from
swap - plists handle ordering automatically. The list naming is also
clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed
from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named
swap_avail_head. A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so
swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as
they become full or not full.
This patch (of 4):
Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e. swapon'ed,
swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct
list_heads. Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of
entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head
functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic.
The change fixes the bug:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry
are incorrectly used equally in pairs. The swap behavior is now as
advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and
equal priority swap targets are used concurrently.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node
If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node
information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap
device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance.
The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide
which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same
priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous
single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each
numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap
devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's
swap_avail_list.
The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value,
or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The
priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap
device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy
doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous
starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then
downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value.
Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are
available, each sit on a different node:
swapA on node 0
swapB on node 1
swapC on node 2
swapD on node 3
After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD.
Current behaviour:
their priorities will be:
swapA: -1
swapB: -2
swapC: -3
swapD: -4
And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be:
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
New behaviour:
their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped):
swapA: -2
swapB: -3
swapC: -4
swapD: -5
And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be:
swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */
swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */
swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */
swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap
a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random
position to trigger both swap in and out is used.
On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives
are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the
result is:
runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G
kernel throughput
vanilla 13306
auto-binding 15169 +14%
runtime=30m/processes=64/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=2G

auto-binding 14879 +25%

priority entry each time, even if the entry is full.
Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head.
Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist
contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new
swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and
available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect
the swap_avail_head list.
Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering
the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing
manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct
entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically
ordered correctly.
Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and
optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full
swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist
allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the
plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not
do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change
from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main
swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_head
Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked
list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index,
which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap
target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the
singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start
at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest
priority entry each time, even if the entry is full.
Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head.
Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist
contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new
swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and

the swap_avail_head list.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out
Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.
This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
(THP) swap.
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.
As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
This patch (of 5):
In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.
This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.
In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.
In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.
The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.
The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.
The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.
The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile
swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even
slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes
from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new
per-partition lock.
Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and
swap_list are still protected by swap_lock.
nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In
theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually
there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem.
Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only
protected by swap_info_struct.lock.
Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and
swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the
flags is ok with either the locks hold.
If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold
the former first to avoid deadlock.
swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a
new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we
check it. If it's valid, we use it.
It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice,
swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can
say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And
BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free
swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the
lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly
recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me.
But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem.
"swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the
swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the
speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test,
so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only
protected by swap_info_struct.lock.
Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and
swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the
flags is ok with either the locks hold.
If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold
the former first to avoid deadlock.
swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a
new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we
check it. If it's valid, we use it.
It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice,
swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can
say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And
BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free
swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the
lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly
recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me.
But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem.
"swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the
swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the
speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test,
so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

swap_info: swap count continuations
Swap is duplicated (reference count incremented by one) whenever the same
swap page is inserted into another mm (when forking finds a swap entry in
place of a pte, or when reclaim unmaps a pte to insert the swap entry).
swap_info_struct's vmalloc'ed swap_map is the array of these reference
counts: but what happens when the unsigned short (or unsigned char since
the preceding patch) is full? (and its high bit is kept for a cache flag)
We then lose track of it, never freeing, leaving it in use until swapoff:
at which point we _hope_ that a single pass will have found all instances,
assume there are no more, and will lose user data if we're wrong.
Swapping of KSM pages has not yet been enabled; but it is implemented,
and makes it very easy for a user to overflow the maximum swap count:
possible with ordinary process pages, but unlikely, even when pid_max
has been raised from PID_MAX_DEFAULT.
This patch implements swap count continuations: when the count overflows,
a continuation page is allocated and linked to the original vmalloc'ed
map page, and this used to hold the continuation counts for that entry
and its neighbours. These continuation pages are seldom referenced:
the common paths all work on the original swap_map, only referring to
a continuation page when the low "digit" of a count is incremented or
decremented through SWAP_MAP_MAX.

mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out
Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.
This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
(THP) swap.
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.
As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
This patch (of 5):
In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.
This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.
In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.
In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.
The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.
The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.
The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.
The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out
Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.
This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
(THP) swap.
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.
As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
This patch (of 5):
In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.
This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.
In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.
In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.
The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.
The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.
The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.
The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

mm, THP, swap: support to clear swap cache flag for THP swapped out
Patch series "mm, THP, swap: Delay splitting THP after swapped out", v3.
This is the second step of THP (Transparent Huge Page) swap
optimization. In the first step, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. In the second
step, the splitting is delayed further to after the swapping out
finished. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally
avoid splitting THP for the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as
a whole.
In the patchset, more operations for the anonymous THP reclaiming, such
as TLB flushing, writing the THP to the swap device, removing the THP
from the swap cache are batched. So that the performance of anonymous
THP swapping out are improved.
During the development, the following scenarios/code paths have been
checked,
- swap out/in
- swap off
- write protect page fault
- madvise_free
- process exit
- split huge page
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 42% (from about
5.81GB/s to about 8.25GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 16 processes. At the same time, the IPI (reflect TLB flushing)
reduced about 78.9%. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
Below is the part of the cover letter for the first step patchset of THP
swap optimization which applies to all steps.
=========================
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce TLB flushing and lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary.
For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be
turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with
MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patch (of 12):
Previously, swapcache_free_cluster() is used only in the error path of
shrink_page_list() to free the swap cluster just allocated if the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) is failed to be split. In this patch, it is
enhanced to clear the swap cache flag (SWAP_HAS_CACHE) for the swap
cluster that holds the contents of THP swapped out.
This will be used in delaying splitting THP after swapping out support.
Because there is no THP swapping in as a whole support yet, after
clearing the swap cache flag, the swap cluster backing the THP swapped
out will be split. So that the swap slots in the swap cluster can be
swapped in as normal pages later.

mm, THP, swap: support to clear swap cache flag for THP swapped out
Patch series "mm, THP, swap: Delay splitting THP after swapped out", v3.
This is the second step of THP (Transparent Huge Page) swap
optimization. In the first step, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. In the second
step, the splitting is delayed further to after the swapping out
finished. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally
avoid splitting THP for the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as
a whole.
In the patchset, more operations for the anonymous THP reclaiming, such
as TLB flushing, writing the THP to the swap device, removing the THP
from the swap cache are batched. So that the performance of anonymous
THP swapping out are improved.
During the development, the following scenarios/code paths have been
checked,
- swap out/in
- swap off
- write protect page fault
- madvise_free
- process exit
- split huge page
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 42% (from about
5.81GB/s to about 8.25GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 16 processes. At the same time, the IPI (reflect TLB flushing)
reduced about 78.9%. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
Below is the part of the cover letter for the first step patchset of THP
swap optimization which applies to all steps.
=========================
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce TLB flushing and lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary.
For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be
turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with
MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patch (of 12):
Previously, swapcache_free_cluster() is used only in the error path of
shrink_page_list() to free the swap cluster just allocated if the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) is failed to be split. In this patch, it is
enhanced to clear the swap cache flag (SWAP_HAS_CACHE) for the swap
cluster that holds the contents of THP swapped out.
This will be used in delaying splitting THP after swapping out support.
Because there is no THP swapping in as a whole support yet, after
clearing the swap cache flag, the swap cluster backing the THP swapped
out will be split. So that the swap slots in the swap cluster can be
swapped in as normal pages later.

reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache

3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap

This patch (of 5):
In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step

(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.
This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.
In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.
In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.
The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.
The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.
The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.
The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

mm, THP, swap: support to reclaim swap space for THP swapped out
The normal swap slot reclaiming can be done when the swap count reaches
SWAP_HAS_CACHE. But for the swap slot which is backing a THP, all swap
slots backing one THP must be reclaimed together, because the swap slot
may be used again when the THP is swapped out again later. So the swap
slots backing one THP can be reclaimed together when the swap count for
all swap slots for the THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE. In the patch, the
functions to check whether the swap count for all swap slots backing one
THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE are implemented and used when checking
whether a swap slot can be reclaimed.
To make it easier to determine whether a swap slot is backing a THP, a
new swap cluster flag named CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE is added to mark a swap
cluster which is backing a THP (Transparent Huge Page). Because THP
swap in as a whole isn't supported now. After deleting the THP from the
swap cache (for example, swapping out finished), the CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE
flag will be cleared. So that, the normal pages inside THP can be
swapped in individually.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out
Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.
This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
(THP) swap.
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.
As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
This patch (of 5):
In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.
This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.
In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.
In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.
The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.
The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.
The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.
The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

mm, THP, swap: support to reclaim swap space for THP swapped out
The normal swap slot reclaiming can be done when the swap count reaches
SWAP_HAS_CACHE. But for the swap slot which is backing a THP, all swap
slots backing one THP must be reclaimed together, because the swap slot
may be used again when the THP is swapped out again later. So the swap
slots backing one THP can be reclaimed together when the swap count for
all swap slots for the THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE. In the patch, the
functions to check whether the swap count for all swap slots backing one
THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE are implemented and used when checking
whether a swap slot can be reclaimed.
To make it easier to determine whether a swap slot is backing a THP, a
new swap cluster flag named CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE is added to mark a swap
cluster which is backing a THP (Transparent Huge Page). Because THP
swap in as a whole isn't supported now. After deleting the THP from the
swap cache (for example, swapping out finished), the CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE
flag will be cleared. So that, the normal pages inside THP can be
swapped in individually.

mm, THP, swap: support to clear swap cache flag for THP swapped out
Patch series "mm, THP, swap: Delay splitting THP after swapped out", v3.
This is the second step of THP (Transparent Huge Page) swap
optimization. In the first step, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. In the second
step, the splitting is delayed further to after the swapping out
finished. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally
avoid splitting THP for the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as
a whole.
In the patchset, more operations for the anonymous THP reclaiming, such
as TLB flushing, writing the THP to the swap device, removing the THP
from the swap cache are batched. So that the performance of anonymous
THP swapping out are improved.
During the development, the following scenarios/code paths have been
checked,
- swap out/in
- swap off
- write protect page fault
- madvise_free
- process exit
- split huge page
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 42% (from about
5.81GB/s to about 8.25GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 16 processes. At the same time, the IPI (reflect TLB flushing)
reduced about 78.9%. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
Below is the part of the cover letter for the first step patchset of THP
swap optimization which applies to all steps.
=========================
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the

- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is

There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible

on only when necessary.
For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be
turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with
MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patch (of 12):
Previously, swapcache_free_cluster() is used only in the error path of
shrink_page_list() to free the swap cluster just allocated if the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) is failed to be split. In this patch, it is
enhanced to clear the swap cache flag (SWAP_HAS_CACHE) for the swap
cluster that holds the contents of THP swapped out.
This will be used in delaying splitting THP after swapping out support.
Because there is no THP swapping in as a whole support yet, after
clearing the swap cache flag, the swap cluster backing the THP swapped
out will be split. So that the swap slots in the swap cluster can be
swapped in as normal pages later.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out
Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.
This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
(THP) swap.
Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.
The advantages of the THP swap support include:
- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.
- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.
- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.
- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.
There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.
This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.
As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.
With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.
This patch (of 5):
In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.
This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.
In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.
In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.
The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.
The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.
The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.
The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.
The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

mm/swapfile.c: sort swap entries before free
To reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock when freeing
swap entry. The freed swap entries will be collected in a per-CPU
buffer firstly, and be really freed later in batch. During the batch
freeing, if the consecutive swap entries in the per-CPU buffer belongs
to same swap device, the swap_info_struct->lock needs to be
acquired/released only once, so that the lock contention could be
reduced greatly. But if there are multiple swap devices, it is possible
that the lock may be unnecessarily released/acquired because the swap
entries belong to the same swap device are non-consecutive in the
per-CPU buffer.
To solve the issue, the per-CPU buffer is sorted according to the swap
device before freeing the swap entries.
With the patch, the memory (some swapped out) free time reduced 11.6%
(from 2.65s to 2.35s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-rand test case with
16 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device
used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
swapping, the test case creates 16 processes, which allocate and write
to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used
up, finally the memory (some swapped out) is freed before exit.

mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

[PATCH] can_share_swap_page: use page_mapcount
Remember that ironic get_user_pages race? when the raised page_count on a
page swapped out led do_wp_page to decide that it had to copy on write, so
substituted a different page into userspace. 2.6.7 onwards have Andrea's
solution, where try_to_unmap_one backs out if it finds page_count raised.
Which works, but is unsatisfying (rmap.c has no other page_count heuristics),
and was found a few months ago to hang an intensive page migration test. A
year ago I was hesitant to engage page_mapcount, now it seems the right fix.
So remove the page_count hack from try_to_unmap_one; and use activate_page in
unuse_mm when dropping lock, to replace its secondary effect of helping
swapoff to make progress in that case.
Simplify can_share_swap_page (now called only on anonymous pages) to check
page_mapcount + page_swapcount == 1: still needs the page lock to stabilize
their (pessimistic) sum, but does not need swapper_space.tree_lock for that.
In do_swap_page, move swap_free and unlock_page below page_add_anon_rmap, to
keep sum on the high side, and correct when can_share_swap_page called.

swap_info: swap count continuations
Swap is duplicated (reference count incremented by one) whenever the same
swap page is inserted into another mm (when forking finds a swap entry in
place of a pte, or when reclaim unmaps a pte to insert the swap entry).
swap_info_struct's vmalloc'ed swap_map is the array of these reference
counts: but what happens when the unsigned short (or unsigned char since
the preceding patch) is full? (and its high bit is kept for a cache flag)
We then lose track of it, never freeing, leaving it in use until swapoff:
at which point we _hope_ that a single pass will have found all instances,
assume there are no more, and will lose user data if we're wrong.
Swapping of KSM pages has not yet been enabled; but it is implemented,
and makes it very easy for a user to overflow the maximum swap count:
possible with ordinary process pages, but unlikely, even when pid_max
has been raised from PID_MAX_DEFAULT.
This patch implements swap count continuations: when the count overflows,
a continuation page is allocated and linked to the original vmalloc'ed
map page, and this used to hold the continuation counts for that entry
and its neighbours. These continuation pages are seldom referenced:
the common paths all work on the original swap_map, only referring to
a continuation page when the low "digit" of a count is incremented or
decremented through SWAP_MAP_MAX.

shmem: replace page if mapping excludes its zone
The GMA500 GPU driver uses GEM shmem objects, but with a new twist: the
backing RAM has to be below 4GB. Not a problem while the boards
supported only 4GB: but now Intel's D2700MUD boards support 8GB, and
their GMA3600 is managed by the GMA500 driver.
shmem/tmpfs has never pretended to support hardware restrictions on the
backing memory, but it might have appeared to do so before v3.1, and
even now it works fine until a page is swapped out then back in. When
read_cache_page_gfp() supplied a freshly allocated page for copy, that
compensated for whatever choice might have been made by earlier swapin
readahead; but swapoff was likely to destroy the illusion.
We'd like to continue to support GMA500, so now add a new
shmem_should_replace_page() check on the zone when about to move a page
from swapcache to filecache (in swapin and swapoff cases), with
shmem_replace_page() to allocate and substitute a suitable page (given
gma500/gem.c's mapping_set_gfp_mask GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_DMA32).
This does involve a minor extension to mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache()
(the page may or may not have already been charged); and I've removed a
comment and call to mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page(), which in fact is
always a no-op while PageSwapCache.
Also removed optimization of an unlikely path in shmem_getpage_gfp(),
now that we need to check PageSwapCache more carefully (a racing caller
might already have made the copy). And at one point shmem_unuse_inode()
needs to use the hitherto private page_swapcount(), to guard against
racing with inode eviction.
It would make sense to extend shmem_should_replace_page(), to cover
cpuset and NUMA mempolicy restrictions too, but set that aside for now:
needs a cleanup of shmem mempolicy handling, and more testing, and ought
to handle swap faults in do_swap_page() as well as shmem.

mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

[PATCH] mm: split page table lock
Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with
a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of
a large anonymous area.
This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to
guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single
page_table_lock. (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page
table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.)
In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the
page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in
the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled.
Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access. Ideally,
I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on
multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs.
So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig
language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with
NR_CPUS. But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good
testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps
change that to 8 later.
There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking
one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

[PATCH] can_share_swap_page: use page_mapcount
Remember that ironic get_user_pages race? when the raised page_count on a
page swapped out led do_wp_page to decide that it had to copy on write, so
substituted a different page into userspace. 2.6.7 onwards have Andrea's
solution, where try_to_unmap_one backs out if it finds page_count raised.
Which works, but is unsatisfying (rmap.c has no other page_count heuristics),
and was found a few months ago to hang an intensive page migration test. A
year ago I was hesitant to engage page_mapcount, now it seems the right fix.
So remove the page_count hack from try_to_unmap_one; and use activate_page in
unuse_mm when dropping lock, to replace its secondary effect of helping
swapoff to make progress in that case.
Simplify can_share_swap_page (now called only on anonymous pages) to check
page_mapcount + page_swapcount == 1: still needs the page lock to stabilize
their (pessimistic) sum, but does not need swapper_space.tree_lock for that.
In do_swap_page, move swap_free and unlock_page below page_add_anon_rmap, to
keep sum on the high side, and correct when can_share_swap_page called.

mm, swap: Fix a race in free_swap_and_cache()
Before using cluster lock in free_swap_and_cache(), the
swap_info_struct->lock will be held during freeing the swap entry and
acquiring page lock, so the page swap count will not change when testing
page information later. But after using cluster lock, the cluster lock
(or swap_info_struct->lock) will be held only during freeing the swap
entry. So before acquiring the page lock, the page swap count may be
changed in another thread. If the page swap count is not 0, we should
not delete the page from the swap cache. This is fixed via checking
page swap count again after acquiring the page lock.
I found the race when I review the code, so I didn't trigger the race
via a test program. If the race occurs for an anonymous page shared by
multiple processes via fork, multiple pages will be allocated and
swapped in from the swap device for the previously shared one page.
That is, the user-visible runtime effect is more memory will be used and
the access latency for the page will be higher, that is, the performance
regression.

mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use

mm, THP, swap: support to reclaim swap space for THP swapped out
The normal swap slot reclaiming can be done when the swap count reaches
SWAP_HAS_CACHE. But for the swap slot which is backing a THP, all swap
slots backing one THP must be reclaimed together, because the swap slot
may be used again when the THP is swapped out again later. So the swap
slots backing one THP can be reclaimed together when the swap count for
all swap slots for the THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE. In the patch, the
functions to check whether the swap count for all swap slots backing one
THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE are implemented and used when checking
whether a swap slot can be reclaimed.
To make it easier to determine whether a swap slot is backing a THP, a
new swap cluster flag named CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE is added to mark a swap
cluster which is backing a THP (Transparent Huge Page). Because THP
swap in as a whole isn't supported now. After deleting the THP from the
swap cache (for example, swapping out finished), the CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE
flag will be cleared. So that, the normal pages inside THP can be
swapped in individually.

SWAP_HAS_CACHE. But for the swap slot which is backing a THP, all swap

mm, THP, swap: support to reclaim swap space for THP swapped out
The normal swap slot reclaiming can be done when the swap count reaches
SWAP_HAS_CACHE. But for the swap slot which is backing a THP, all swap
slots backing one THP must be reclaimed together, because the swap slot
may be used again when the THP is swapped out again later. So the swap
slots backing one THP can be reclaimed together when the swap count for
all swap slots for the THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE. In the patch, the
functions to check whether the swap count for all swap slots backing one
THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE are implemented and used when checking
whether a swap slot can be reclaimed.
To make it easier to determine whether a swap slot is backing a THP, a
new swap cluster flag named CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE is added to mark a swap
cluster which is backing a THP (Transparent Huge Page). Because THP
swap in as a whole isn't supported now. After deleting the THP from the
swap cache (for example, swapping out finished), the CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE
flag will be cleared. So that, the normal pages inside THP can be
swapped in individually.

mm: thp: calculate the mapcount correctly for THP pages during WP faults
This will provide fully accuracy to the mapcount calculation in the
write protect faults, so page pinning will not get broken by false
positive copy-on-writes.
total_mapcount() isn't the right calculation needed in
reuse_swap_page(), so this introduces a page_trans_huge_mapcount()
that is effectively the full accurate return value for page_mapcount()
if dealing with Transparent Hugepages, however we only use the
page_trans_huge_mapcount() during COW faults where it strictly needed,
due to its higher runtime cost.
This also provide at practical zero cost the total_mapcount
information which is needed to know if we can still relocate the page
anon_vma to the local vma. If page_trans_huge_mapcount() returns 1 we
can reuse the page no matter if it's a pte or a pmd_trans_huge
triggering the fault, but we can only relocate the page anon_vma to
the local vma->anon_vma if we're sure it's only this "vma" mapping the
whole THP physical range.
Kirill A. Shutemov discovered the problem with moving the page
anon_vma to the local vma->anon_vma in a previous version of this
patch and another problem in the way page_move_anon_rmap() was called.
Andrew Morton discovered that CONFIG_SWAP=n wouldn't build in a
previous version, because reuse_swap_page must be a macro to call
page_trans_huge_mapcount from swap.h, so this uses a macro again
instead of an inline function. With this change at least it's a less
dangerous usage than it was before, because "page" is used only once
now, while with the previous code reuse_swap_page(page++) would have
called page_mapcount on page+1 and it would have increased page twice
instead of just once.
Dean Luick noticed an uninitialized variable that could result in a
rmap inefficiency for the non-THP case in a previous version.

ksm: let shared pages be swappable
Initial implementation for swapping out KSM's shared pages: add
page_referenced_ksm() and try_to_unmap_ksm(), which rmap.c calls when
faced with a PageKsm page.
Most of what's needed can be got from the rmap_items listed from the
stable_node of the ksm page, without discovering the actual vma: so in
this patch just fake up a struct vma for page_referenced_one() or
try_to_unmap_one(), then refine that in the next patch.
Add VM_NONLINEAR to ksm_madvise()'s list of exclusions: it has always been
implicit there (being only set with VM_SHARED, already excluded), but
let's make it explicit, to help justify the lack of nonlinear unmap.
Rely on the page lock to protect against concurrent modifications to that
page's node of the stable tree.
The awkward part is not swapout but swapin: do_swap_page() and
page_add_anon_rmap() now have to allow for new possibilities - perhaps a
ksm page still in swapcache, perhaps a swapcache page associated with one
location in one anon_vma now needed for another location or anon_vma.
(And the vma might even be no longer VM_MERGEABLE when that happens.)
ksm_might_need_to_copy() checks for that case, and supplies a duplicate
page when necessary, simply leaving it to a subsequent pass of ksmd to
rediscover the identity and merge them back into one ksm page.
Disappointingly primitive: but the alternative would have to accumulate
unswappable info about the swapped out ksm pages, limiting swappability.
Remove page_add_ksm_rmap(): page_add_anon_rmap() now has to allow for the
particular case it was handling, so just use it instead.

With investigation, it reveals currently stable page doesn't support
anonymous page. IOW, reuse_swap_page can reuse the page without waiting
writeback completion so it can overwrite page zram is compressing.
Unfortunately, zram has used per-cpu stream feature from v4.7.
It aims for increasing cache hit ratio of scratch buffer for
compressing. Downside of that approach is that zram should ask
memory space for compressed page in per-cpu context which requires
stricted gfp flag which could be failed. If so, it retries to
allocate memory space out of per-cpu context so it could get memory
this time and compress the data again, copies it to the memory space.
In this scenario, zram assumes the data should never be changed
but it is not true unless stable page supports. So, If the data is
changed under us, zram can make buffer overrun because second
compression size could be bigger than one we got in previous trial
and blindly, copy bigger size object to smaller buffer which is
buffer overrun. The overrun breaks zsmalloc free object chaining
so system goes crash like above.
I think below is same problem.
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=997574
Unfortunately, reuse_swap_page should be atomic so that we cannot wait on
writeback in there so the approach in this patch is simply return false if
we found it needs stable page. Although it increases memory footprint
temporarily, it happens rarely and it should be reclaimed easily althoug
it happened. Also, It would be better than waiting of IO completion,
which is critial path for application latency.

With investigation, it reveals currently stable page doesn't support
anonymous page. IOW, reuse_swap_page can reuse the page without waiting
writeback completion so it can overwrite page zram is compressing.
Unfortunately, zram has used per-cpu stream feature from v4.7.
It aims for increasing cache hit ratio of scratch buffer for
compressing. Downside of that approach is that zram should ask
memory space for compressed page in per-cpu context which requires
stricted gfp flag which could be failed. If so, it retries to
allocate memory space out of per-cpu context so it could get memory
this time and compress the data again, copies it to the memory space.
In this scenario, zram assumes the data should never be changed
but it is not true unless stable page supports. So, If the data is
changed under us, zram can make buffer overrun because second
compression size could be bigger than one we got in previous trial
and blindly, copy bigger size object to smaller buffer which is
buffer overrun. The overrun breaks zsmalloc free object chaining
so system goes crash like above.
I think below is same problem.
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=997574
Unfortunately, reuse_swap_page should be atomic so that we cannot wait on
writeback in there so the approach in this patch is simply return false if
we found it needs stable page. Although it increases memory footprint
temporarily, it happens rarely and it should be reclaimed easily althoug
it happened. Also, It would be better than waiting of IO completion,
which is critial path for application latency.

ksm: let shared pages be swappable
Initial implementation for swapping out KSM's shared pages: add
page_referenced_ksm() and try_to_unmap_ksm(), which rmap.c calls when
faced with a PageKsm page.
Most of what's needed can be got from the rmap_items listed from the
stable_node of the ksm page, without discovering the actual vma: so in
this patch just fake up a struct vma for page_referenced_one() or
try_to_unmap_one(), then refine that in the next patch.
Add VM_NONLINEAR to ksm_madvise()'s list of exclusions: it has always been
implicit there (being only set with VM_SHARED, already excluded), but
let's make it explicit, to help justify the lack of nonlinear unmap.
Rely on the page lock to protect against concurrent modifications to that
page's node of the stable tree.
The awkward part is not swapout but swapin: do_swap_page() and
page_add_anon_rmap() now have to allow for new possibilities - perhaps a
ksm page still in swapcache, perhaps a swapcache page associated with one
location in one anon_vma now needed for another location or anon_vma.
(And the vma might even be no longer VM_MERGEABLE when that happens.)
ksm_might_need_to_copy() checks for that case, and supplies a duplicate
page when necessary, simply leaving it to a subsequent pass of ksmd to
rediscover the identity and merge them back into one ksm page.
Disappointingly primitive: but the alternative would have to accumulate
unswappable info about the swapped out ksm pages, limiting swappability.
Remove page_add_ksm_rmap(): page_add_anon_rmap() now has to allow for the
particular case it was handling, so just use it instead.

[PATCH] Swapless page migration: add R/W migration entries
Implement read/write migration ptes
We take the upper two swapfiles for the two types of migration ptes and define
a series of macros in swapops.h.
The VM is modified to handle the migration entries. migration entries can
only be encountered when the page they are pointing to is locked. This limits
the number of places one has to fix. We also check in copy_pte_range and in
mprotect_pte_range() for migration ptes.
We check for migration ptes in do_swap_cache and call a function that will
then wait on the page lock. This allows us to effectively stop all accesses
to apge.
Migration entries are created by try_to_unmap if called for migration and
removed by local functions in migrate.c
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
Several times while testing swapless page migration (I've no NUMA, just
hacking it up to migrate recklessly while running load), I've hit the
BUG_ON(!PageLocked(p)) in migration_entry_to_page.
This comes from an orphaned migration entry, unrelated to the current
correctly locked migration, but hit by remove_anon_migration_ptes as it
checks an address in each vma of the anon_vma list.
Such an orphan may be left behind if an earlier migration raced with fork:
copy_one_pte can duplicate a migration entry from parent to child, after
remove_anon_migration_ptes has checked the child vma, but before it has
removed it from the parent vma. (If the process were later to fault on this
orphaned entry, it would hit the same BUG from migration_entry_wait.)
This could be fixed by locking anon_vma in copy_one_pte, but we'd rather
not. There's no such problem with file pages, because vma_prio_tree_add
adds child vma after parent vma, and the page table locking at each end is
enough to serialize. Follow that example with anon_vma: add new vmas to the
tail instead of the head.
(There's no corresponding problem when inserting migration entries,
because a missed pte will leave the page count and mapcount high, which is
allowed for. And there's no corresponding problem when migrating via swap,
because a leftover swap entry will be correctly faulted. But the swapless
method has no refcounting of its entries.)
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
pte_unmap_unlock() takes the pte pointer as an argument.
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
Several times while testing swapless page migration, gcc has tried to exec
a pointer instead of a string: smells like COW mappings are not being
properly write-protected on fork.
The protection in copy_one_pte looks very convincing, until at last you
realize that the second arg to make_migration_entry is a boolean "write",
and SWP_MIGRATION_READ is 30.
Anyway, it's better done like in change_pte_range, using
is_write_migration_entry and make_migration_entry_read.
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
Remove unnecessary obfuscation from sys_swapon's range check on swap type,
which blew up causing memory corruption once swapless migration made
MAX_SWAPFILES no longer 2 ^ MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT.

mm, swap: use offset of swap entry as key of swap cache
This patch is to improve the performance of swap cache operations when
the type of the swap device is not 0. Originally, the whole swap entry
value is used as the key of the swap cache, even though there is one
radix tree for each swap device. If the type of the swap device is not
0, the height of the radix tree of the swap cache will be increased
unnecessary, especially on 64bit architecture. For example, for a 1GB
swap device on the x86_64 architecture, the height of the radix tree of
the swap cache is 11. But if the offset of the swap entry is used as
the key of the swap cache, the height of the radix tree of the swap
cache is 4. The increased height causes unnecessary radix tree
descending and increased cache footprint.
This patch reduces the height of the radix tree of the swap cache via
using the offset of the swap entry instead of the whole swap entry value
as the key of the swap cache. In 32 processes sequential swap out test
case on a Xeon E5 v3 system with RAM disk as swap, the lock contention
for the spinlock of the swap cache is reduced from 20.15% to 12.19%,
when the type of the swap device is 1.
Use the whole swap entry as key,

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

mm, swap: Fix a race in free_swap_and_cache()
Before using cluster lock in free_swap_and_cache(), the
swap_info_struct->lock will be held during freeing the swap entry and
acquiring page lock, so the page swap count will not change when testing
page information later. But after using cluster lock, the cluster lock
(or swap_info_struct->lock) will be held only during freeing the swap
entry. So before acquiring the page lock, the page swap count may be
changed in another thread. If the page swap count is not 0, we should
not delete the page from the swap cache. This is fixed via checking
page swap count again after acquiring the page lock.
I found the race when I review the code, so I didn't trigger the race
via a test program. If the race occurs for an anonymous page shared by
multiple processes via fork, multiple pages will be allocated and
swapped in from the swap device for the previously shared one page.
That is, the user-visible runtime effect is more memory will be used and
the access latency for the page will be higher, that is, the performance
regression.

mm, THP, swap: support to reclaim swap space for THP swapped out
The normal swap slot reclaiming can be done when the swap count reaches
SWAP_HAS_CACHE. But for the swap slot which is backing a THP, all swap
slots backing one THP must be reclaimed together, because the swap slot
may be used again when the THP is swapped out again later. So the swap
slots backing one THP can be reclaimed together when the swap count for
all swap slots for the THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE. In the patch, the
functions to check whether the swap count for all swap slots backing one
THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE are implemented and used when checking
whether a swap slot can be reclaimed.
To make it easier to determine whether a swap slot is backing a THP, a
new swap cluster flag named CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE is added to mark a swap
cluster which is backing a THP (Transparent Huge Page). Because THP
swap in as a whole isn't supported now. After deleting the THP from the
swap cache (for example, swapping out finished), the CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE
flag will be cleared. So that, the normal pages inside THP can be
swapped in individually.

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile
swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even
slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes
from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new
per-partition lock.
Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and
swap_list are still protected by swap_lock.
nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In
theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually
there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem.
Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only
protected by swap_info_struct.lock.
Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and
swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the
flags is ok with either the locks hold.
If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold
the former first to avoid deadlock.
swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a
new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we
check it. If it's valid, we use it.
It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice,
swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can
say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And
BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free
swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the
lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly
recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me.
But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem.
"swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the
swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the
speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test,
so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

mm: memcontrol: rewrite charge API
These patches rework memcg charge lifetime to integrate more naturally
with the lifetime of user pages. This drastically simplifies the code and
reduces charging and uncharging overhead. The most expensive part of
charging and uncharging is the page_cgroup bit spinlock, which is removed
entirely after this series.
Here are the top-10 profile entries of a stress test that reads a 128G
sparse file on a freshly booted box, without even a dedicated cgroup (i.e.
executing in the root memcg). Before:
15.36% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] copy_user_generic_string
13.31% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] memset
11.48% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_mpage_readpage

This patch (of 4):
The memcg charge API charges pages before they are rmapped - i.e. have an
actual "type" - and so every callsite needs its own set of charge and
uncharge functions to know what type is being operated on. Worse,
uncharge has to happen from a context that is still type-specific, rather
than at the end of the page's lifetime with exclusive access, and so
requires a lot of synchronization.
Rewrite the charge API to provide a generic set of try_charge(),
commit_charge() and cancel_charge() transaction operations, much like
what's currently done for swap-in:
mem_cgroup_try_charge() attempts to reserve a charge, reclaiming
pages from the memcg if necessary.
mem_cgroup_commit_charge() commits the page to the charge once it
has a valid page->mapping and PageAnon() reliably tells the type.
mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() aborts the transaction.
This reduces the charge API and enables subsequent patches to
drastically simplify uncharging.
As pages need to be committed after rmap is established but before they
are added to the LRU, page_add_new_anon_rmap() must stop doing LRU
additions again. Revive lru_cache_add_active_or_unevictable().

mm: thp: fix pmd_bad() triggering in code paths holding mmap_sem read mode
In some cases it may happen that pmd_none_or_clear_bad() is called with
the mmap_sem hold in read mode. In those cases the huge page faults can
allocate hugepmds under pmd_none_or_clear_bad() and that can trigger a
false positive from pmd_bad() that will not like to see a pmd
materializing as trans huge.
It's not khugepaged causing the problem, khugepaged holds the mmap_sem
in write mode (and all those sites must hold the mmap_sem in read mode
to prevent pagetables to go away from under them, during code review it
seems vm86 mode on 32bit kernels requires that too unless it's
restricted to 1 thread per process or UP builds). The race is only with
the huge pagefaults that can convert a pmd_none() into a
pmd_trans_huge().
Effectively all these pmd_none_or_clear_bad() sites running with
mmap_sem in read mode are somewhat speculative with the page faults, and
the result is always undefined when they run simultaneously. This is
probably why it wasn't common to run into this. For example if the
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) runs zap_page_range() shortly before the page
fault, the hugepage will not be zapped, if the page fault runs first it
will be zapped.
Altering pmd_bad() not to error out if it finds hugepmds won't be enough
to fix this, because zap_pmd_range would then proceed to call
zap_pte_range (which would be incorrect if the pmd become a
pmd_trans_huge()).
The simplest way to fix this is to read the pmd in the local stack
(regardless of what we read, no need of actual CPU barriers, only
compiler barrier needed), and be sure it is not changing under the code
that computes its value. Even if the real pmd is changing under the
value we hold on the stack, we don't care. If we actually end up in
zap_pte_range it means the pmd was not none already and it was not huge,
and it can't become huge from under us (khugepaged locking explained
above).
All we need is to enforce that there is no way anymore that in a code
path like below, pmd_trans_huge can be false, but pmd_none_or_clear_bad
can run into a hugepmd. The overhead of a barrier() is just a compiler
tweak and should not be measurable (I only added it for THP builds). I
don't exclude different compiler versions may have prevented the race
too by caching the value of *pmd on the stack (that hasn't been
verified, but it wouldn't be impossible considering
pmd_none_or_clear_bad, pmd_bad, pmd_trans_huge, pmd_none are all inlines
and there's no external function called in between pmd_trans_huge and
pmd_none_or_clear_bad).
if (pmd_trans_huge(*pmd)) {
if (next-addr != HPAGE_PMD_SIZE) {
VM_BUG_ON(!rwsem_is_locked(&tlb->mm->mmap_sem));
split_huge_page_pmd(vma->vm_mm, pmd);
} else if (zap_huge_pmd(tlb, vma, pmd, addr))
continue;
/* fall through */
}
if (pmd_none_or_clear_bad(pmd))
Because this race condition could be exercised without special
privileges this was reported in CVE-2012-1179.
The race was identified and fully explained by Ulrich who debugged it.
I'm quoting his accurate explanation below, for reference.
====== start quote =======
mapcount 0 page_mapcount 1
kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1384!
At some point prior to the panic, a "bad pmd ..." message similar to the
following is logged on the console:
mm/memory.c:145: bad pmd ffff8800376e1f98(80000000314000e7).
The "bad pmd ..." message is logged by pmd_clear_bad() before it clears
the page's PMD table entry.
143 void pmd_clear_bad(pmd_t *pmd)
144 {
-> 145 pmd_ERROR(*pmd);
146 pmd_clear(pmd);
147 }
After the PMD table entry has been cleared, there is an inconsistency
between the actual number of PMD table entries that are mapping the page
and the page's map count (_mapcount field in struct page). When the page
is subsequently reclaimed, __split_huge_page() detects this inconsistency.
1381 if (mapcount != page_mapcount(page))
1382 printk(KERN_ERR "mapcount %d page_mapcount %d\n",
1383 mapcount, page_mapcount(page));
-> 1384 BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page));
The root cause of the problem is a race of two threads in a multithreaded
process. Thread B incurs a page fault on a virtual address that has never
been accessed (PMD entry is zero) while Thread A is executing an madvise()
system call on a virtual address within the same 2 MB (huge page) range.

[PATCH] can_share_swap_page: use page_mapcount
Remember that ironic get_user_pages race? when the raised page_count on a
page swapped out led do_wp_page to decide that it had to copy on write, so
substituted a different page into userspace. 2.6.7 onwards have Andrea's
solution, where try_to_unmap_one backs out if it finds page_count raised.
Which works, but is unsatisfying (rmap.c has no other page_count heuristics),
and was found a few months ago to hang an intensive page migration test. A
year ago I was hesitant to engage page_mapcount, now it seems the right fix.
So remove the page_count hack from try_to_unmap_one; and use activate_page in
unuse_mm when dropping lock, to replace its secondary effect of helping
swapoff to make progress in that case.
Simplify can_share_swap_page (now called only on anonymous pages) to check
page_mapcount + page_swapcount == 1: still needs the page lock to stabilize
their (pessimistic) sum, but does not need swapper_space.tree_lock for that.
In do_swap_page, move swap_free and unlock_page below page_add_anon_rmap, to
keep sum on the high side, and correct when can_share_swap_page called.

[PATCH] swap: swap_lock replace list+device
The idea of a swap_device_lock per device, and a swap_list_lock over them all,
is appealing; but in practice almost every holder of swap_device_lock must
already hold swap_list_lock, which defeats the purpose of the split.
The only exceptions have been swap_duplicate, valid_swaphandles and an
untrodden path in try_to_unuse (plus a few places added in this series).
valid_swaphandles doesn't show up high in profiles, but swap_duplicate does
demand attention. However, with the hold time in get_swap_pages so much
reduced, I've not yet found a load and set of swap device priorities to show
even swap_duplicate benefitting from the split. Certainly the split is mere
overhead in the common case of a single swap device.
So, replace swap_list_lock and swap_device_lock by spinlock_t swap_lock
(generally we seem to prefer an _ in the name, and not hide in a macro).
If someone can show a regression in swap_duplicate, then probably we should
add a hashlock for the swap_map entries alone (shorts being anatomic), so as
to help the case of the single swap device too.

swap: fix races exposed by swap discard
The previous patch can expose races, according to Hugh:
swapoff was sometimes failing with "Cannot allocate memory", coming from
try_to_unuse()'s -ENOMEM: it needs to allow for swap_duplicate() failing
on a free entry temporarily SWAP_MAP_BAD while being discarded.
We should use ACCESS_ONCE() there, and whenever accessing swap_map
locklessly; but rather than peppering it throughout try_to_unuse(), just
declare *swap_map with volatile.
try_to_unuse() is accustomed to *swap_map going down racily, but not
necessarily to it jumping up from 0 to SWAP_MAP_BAD: we'll be safer to
prevent that transition once SWP_WRITEOK is switched off, when it's a
waste of time to issue discards anyway (swapon can do a whole discard).
Another issue is:
In swapin_readahead(), read_swap_cache_async() can read a bad swap entry,
because we don't check if readahead swap entry is bad. This doesn't break
anything but such swapin page is wasteful and can only be freed at page
reclaim. We should avoid read such swap entry. And in discard, we mark
swap entry SWAP_MAP_BAD and then switch it to normal when discard is
finished. If readahead reads such swap entry, we have the same issue, so
we much check if swap entry is bad too.
Thanks Hugh to inspire swapin_readahead could use bad swap entry.

swap_info: swap count continuations
Swap is duplicated (reference count incremented by one) whenever the same
swap page is inserted into another mm (when forking finds a swap entry in
place of a pte, or when reclaim unmaps a pte to insert the swap entry).
swap_info_struct's vmalloc'ed swap_map is the array of these reference
counts: but what happens when the unsigned short (or unsigned char since
the preceding patch) is full? (and its high bit is kept for a cache flag)
We then lose track of it, never freeing, leaving it in use until swapoff:
at which point we _hope_ that a single pass will have found all instances,
assume there are no more, and will lose user data if we're wrong.
Swapping of KSM pages has not yet been enabled; but it is implemented,
and makes it very easy for a user to overflow the maximum swap count:
possible with ordinary process pages, but unlikely, even when pid_max
has been raised from PID_MAX_DEFAULT.
This patch implements swap count continuations: when the count overflows,
a continuation page is allocated and linked to the original vmalloc'ed
map page, and this used to hold the continuation counts for that entry
and its neighbours. These continuation pages are seldom referenced:
the common paths all work on the original swap_map, only referring to
a continuation page when the low "digit" of a count is incremented or
decremented through SWAP_MAP_MAX.

swapin needs gfp_mask for loop on tmpfs
Building in a filesystem on a loop device on a tmpfs file can hang when
swapping, the loop thread caught in that infamous throttle_vm_writeout.
In theory this is a long standing problem, which I've either never seen in
practice, or long ago suppressed the recollection, after discounting my load
and my tmpfs size as unrealistically high. But now, with the new aops, it has
become easy to hang on one machine.
Loop used to grab_cache_page before the old prepare_write to tmpfs, which
seems to have been enough to free up some memory for any swapin needed; but
the new write_begin lets tmpfs find or allocate the page (much nicer, since
grab_cache_page missed tmpfs pages in swapcache).
When allocating a fresh page, tmpfs respects loop's mapping_gfp_mask, which
has __GFP_IO|__GFP_FS stripped off, and throttle_vm_writeout is designed to
break out when __GFP_IO or GFP_FS is unset; but when tmfps swaps in,
read_swap_cache_async allocates with GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE regardless of the
mapping_gfp_mask - hence the hang.
So, pass gfp_mask down the line from shmem_getpage to shmem_swapin to
swapin_readahead to read_swap_cache_async to add_to_swap_cache.

swap: add block io poll in swapin path
For fast flash disk, async IO could introduce overhead because of
context switch. block-mq now supports IO poll, which improves
performance and latency a lot. swapin is a good place to use this
technique, because the task is waiting for the swapin page to continue
execution.
In my virtual machine, directly read 4k data from a NVMe with iopoll is
about 60% better than that without poll. With iopoll support in swapin
patch, my microbenchmark (a task does random memory write) is about
10%~25% faster. CPU utilization increases a lot though, 2x and even 3x
CPU utilization. This will depend on disk speed.
While iopoll in swapin isn't intended for all usage cases, it's a win
for latency sensistive workloads with high speed swap disk. block layer
has knob to control poll in runtime. If poll isn't enabled in block
layer, there should be no noticeable change in swapin.
I got a chance to run the same test in a NVMe with DRAM as the media.
In simple fio IO test, blkpoll boosts 50% performance in single thread
test and ~20% in 8 threads test. So this is the base line. In above
swap test, blkpoll boosts ~27% performance in single thread test.
blkpoll uses 2x CPU time though.
If we enable hybid polling, the performance gain has very slight drop
but CPU time is only 50% worse than that without blkpoll. Also we can
adjust parameter of hybid poll, with it, the CPU time penality is
reduced further. In 8 threads test, blkpoll doesn't help though. The
performance is similar to that without blkpoll, but cpu utilization is
similar too. There is lock contention in swap path. The cpu time
spending on blkpoll isn't high. So overall, blkpoll swapin isn't worse
than that without it.
The swapin readahead might read several pages in in the same time and
form a big IO request. Since the IO will take longer time, it doesn't
make sense to do poll, so the patch only does iopoll for single page
swapin.

swap: fix races exposed by swap discard
The previous patch can expose races, according to Hugh:
swapoff was sometimes failing with "Cannot allocate memory", coming from
try_to_unuse()'s -ENOMEM: it needs to allow for swap_duplicate() failing
on a free entry temporarily SWAP_MAP_BAD while being discarded.
We should use ACCESS_ONCE() there, and whenever accessing swap_map
locklessly; but rather than peppering it throughout try_to_unuse(), just
declare *swap_map with volatile.
try_to_unuse() is accustomed to *swap_map going down racily, but not
necessarily to it jumping up from 0 to SWAP_MAP_BAD: we'll be safer to
prevent that transition once SWP_WRITEOK is switched off, when it's a
waste of time to issue discards anyway (swapon can do a whole discard).
Another issue is:
In swapin_readahead(), read_swap_cache_async() can read a bad swap entry,
because we don't check if readahead swap entry is bad. This doesn't break
anything but such swapin page is wasteful and can only be freed at page
reclaim. We should avoid read such swap entry. And in discard, we mark
swap entry SWAP_MAP_BAD and then switch it to normal when discard is
finished. If readahead reads such swap entry, we have the same issue, so
we much check if swap entry is bad too.
Thanks Hugh to inspire swapin_readahead could use bad swap entry.

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

ksm: let shared pages be swappable
Initial implementation for swapping out KSM's shared pages: add
page_referenced_ksm() and try_to_unmap_ksm(), which rmap.c calls when
faced with a PageKsm page.
Most of what's needed can be got from the rmap_items listed from the
stable_node of the ksm page, without discovering the actual vma: so in
this patch just fake up a struct vma for page_referenced_one() or
try_to_unmap_one(), then refine that in the next patch.
Add VM_NONLINEAR to ksm_madvise()'s list of exclusions: it has always been
implicit there (being only set with VM_SHARED, already excluded), but
let's make it explicit, to help justify the lack of nonlinear unmap.
Rely on the page lock to protect against concurrent modifications to that
page's node of the stable tree.
The awkward part is not swapout but swapin: do_swap_page() and
page_add_anon_rmap() now have to allow for new possibilities - perhaps a
ksm page still in swapcache, perhaps a swapcache page associated with one
location in one anon_vma now needed for another location or anon_vma.
(And the vma might even be no longer VM_MERGEABLE when that happens.)
ksm_might_need_to_copy() checks for that case, and supplies a duplicate
page when necessary, simply leaving it to a subsequent pass of ksmd to
rediscover the identity and merge them back into one ksm page.
Disappointingly primitive: but the alternative would have to accumulate
unswappable info about the swapped out ksm pages, limiting swappability.
Remove page_add_ksm_rmap(): page_add_anon_rmap() now has to allow for the
particular case it was handling, so just use it instead.

mm, THP, swap: support to reclaim swap space for THP swapped out
The normal swap slot reclaiming can be done when the swap count reaches
SWAP_HAS_CACHE. But for the swap slot which is backing a THP, all swap
slots backing one THP must be reclaimed together, because the swap slot
may be used again when the THP is swapped out again later. So the swap
slots backing one THP can be reclaimed together when the swap count for
all swap slots for the THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE. In the patch, the
functions to check whether the swap count for all swap slots backing one
THP reached SWAP_HAS_CACHE are implemented and used when checking
whether a swap slot can be reclaimed.
To make it easier to determine whether a swap slot is backing a THP, a
new swap cluster flag named CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE is added to mark a swap
cluster which is backing a THP (Transparent Huge Page). Because THP
swap in as a whole isn't supported now. After deleting the THP from the
swap cache (for example, swapping out finished), the CLUSTER_FLAG_HUGE
flag will be cleared. So that, the normal pages inside THP can be
swapped in individually.

[PATCH] swap: swap_lock replace list+device
The idea of a swap_device_lock per device, and a swap_list_lock over them all,
is appealing; but in practice almost every holder of swap_device_lock must
already hold swap_list_lock, which defeats the purpose of the split.
The only exceptions have been swap_duplicate, valid_swaphandles and an
untrodden path in try_to_unuse (plus a few places added in this series).
valid_swaphandles doesn't show up high in profiles, but swap_duplicate does
demand attention. However, with the hold time in get_swap_pages so much
reduced, I've not yet found a load and set of swap device priorities to show
even swap_duplicate benefitting from the split. Certainly the split is mere
overhead in the common case of a single swap device.
So, replace swap_list_lock and swap_device_lock by spinlock_t swap_lock
(generally we seem to prefer an _ in the name, and not hide in a macro).
If someone can show a regression in swap_duplicate, then probably we should
add a hashlock for the swap_map entries alone (shorts being anatomic), so as
to help the case of the single swap device too.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node
If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node
information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap
device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance.
The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide
which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same
priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous
single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each
numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap
devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's
swap_avail_list.
The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value,
or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The
priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap
device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy
doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous
starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then
downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value.
Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are
available, each sit on a different node:
swapA on node 0
swapB on node 1
swapC on node 2
swapD on node 3
After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD.
Current behaviour:
their priorities will be:
swapA: -1
swapB: -2
swapC: -3
swapD: -4
And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be:
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
New behaviour:
their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped):
swapA: -2
swapB: -3
swapC: -4
swapD: -5
And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be:
swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */
swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */
swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */
swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap
a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random
position to trigger both swap in and out is used.
On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives
are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the
result is:
runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G
kernel throughput
vanilla 13306
auto-binding 15169 +14%
runtime=30m/processes=64/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=2G
kernel throughput
vanilla 11885
auto-binding 14879 +25%

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD
I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to
20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to
80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to
search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow.
Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only
care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a
cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If
the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters
will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With
this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears.
This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is
aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently.
We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough
and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see
below).
The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free
cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too.
And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end
of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do
search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this
isn't a problem at all.
Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will
reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big
problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason
I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_head
Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked
list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index,
which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap
target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the
singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start
at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest
priority entry each time, even if the entry is full.
Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head.
Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist
contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new
swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and
available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect
the swap_avail_head list.
Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering
the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing
manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct
entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically
ordered correctly.
Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and
optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full
swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist
allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the
plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not
do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change
from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main
swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node
If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node
information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap
device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance.
The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide
which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same
priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous
single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each
numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap
devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's
swap_avail_list.
The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value,
or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The
priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap
device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy
doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous
starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then
downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value.
Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are
available, each sit on a different node:
swapA on node 0
swapB on node 1
swapC on node 2
swapD on node 3
After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD.
Current behaviour:
their priorities will be:
swapA: -1
swapB: -2
swapC: -3
swapD: -4
And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be:
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
New behaviour:
their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped):
swapA: -2
swapB: -3
swapC: -4
swapD: -5
And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be:
swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */
swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */
swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */
swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap
a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random
position to trigger both swap in and out is used.
On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives
are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the
result is:
runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G
kernel throughput
vanilla 13306
auto-binding 15169 +14%
runtime=30m/processes=64/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=2G
kernel throughput
vanilla 11885
auto-binding 14879 +25%

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD
I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to
20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to
80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to
search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow.
Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only
care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a
cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If
the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters
will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With
this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears.
This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is
aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently.
We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough
and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see
below).
The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free
cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too.
And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end
of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do
search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this
isn't a problem at all.
Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will
reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big
problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason
I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile
swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even
slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes
from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new
per-partition lock.
Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and
swap_list are still protected by swap_lock.
nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In
theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually
there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem.
Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only
protected by swap_info_struct.lock.
Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and
swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the
flags is ok with either the locks hold.
If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold
the former first to avoid deadlock.
swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a
new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we
check it. If it's valid, we use it.
It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice,
swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can
say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And
BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free
swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the
lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly
recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me.
But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem.
"swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the
swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the
speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test,
so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

swap: change swap_info singly-linked list to list_head
The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries
for all active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because:
- it stores the entries in priority order
- there is a pointer to the highest priority entry
- there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry
- there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock
- swap entries of equal priority should be used equally
this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally.
That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists,
but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to
understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic.
The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list
using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed
and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority
swap_info entry, even if it's full. While this does introduce unnecessary
list iteration (i.e. Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where
one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and
manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug;
and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration.
The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new
really, just functions to match existing regular list functions. These
are used by the next two patches.
The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in
the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries
(which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that
all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally.
The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist
that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full.
As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from
swap - plists handle ordering automatically. The list naming is also
clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed
from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named
swap_avail_head. A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so
swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as
they become full or not full.
This patch (of 4):
Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e. swapon'ed,
swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct
list_heads. Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of
entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head
functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic.
The change fixes the bug:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry
are incorrectly used equally in pairs. The swap behavior is now as
advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and
equal priority swap targets are used concurrently.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node
If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node
information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap
device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance.
The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide
which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same
priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous
single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each
numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap
devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's
swap_avail_list.
The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value,
or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The
priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap
device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy
doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous
starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then
downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value.
Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are
available, each sit on a different node:
swapA on node 0
swapB on node 1
swapC on node 2
swapD on node 3
After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD.
Current behaviour:
their priorities will be:
swapA: -1
swapB: -2
swapC: -3
swapD: -4
And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be:
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
New behaviour:
their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped):
swapA: -2
swapB: -3
swapC: -4
swapD: -5
And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be:
swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */
swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */
swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */
swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap
a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random
position to trigger both swap in and out is used.
On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives
are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the
result is:
runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G
kernel throughput
vanilla 13306
auto-binding 15169 +14%
runtime=30m/processes=64/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=2G
kernel throughput
vanilla 11885
auto-binding 14879 +25%

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD
I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to
20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to
80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to
search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow.
Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only
care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a
cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If
the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters
will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With
this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears.
This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is
aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently.
We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough
and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see
below).
The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free
cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too.
And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end
of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do
search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this
isn't a problem at all.
Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will
reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big
problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason
I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile
swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even
slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes
from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new
per-partition lock.
Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and
swap_list are still protected by swap_lock.
nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In
theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually
there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem.
Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only
protected by swap_info_struct.lock.
Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and
swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the
flags is ok with either the locks hold.
If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold
the former first to avoid deadlock.
swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a
new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we
check it. If it's valid, we use it.
It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice,
swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can
say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And
BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free
swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the
lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly
recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me.
But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem.
"swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the
swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the
speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test,
so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big
problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason
I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

swap: change swap_info singly-linked list to list_head
The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries
for all active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because:
- it stores the entries in priority order
- there is a pointer to the highest priority entry
- there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry
- there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock
- swap entries of equal priority should be used equally
this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally.
That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists,
but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to
understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic.
The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list
using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed
and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority
swap_info entry, even if it's full. While this does introduce unnecessary
list iteration (i.e. Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where
one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and
manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug;
and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration.
The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new
really, just functions to match existing regular list functions. These
are used by the next two patches.
The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in
the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries
(which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that
all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally.
The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist
that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full.
As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from
swap - plists handle ordering automatically. The list naming is also
clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed
from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named
swap_avail_head. A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so
swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as
they become full or not full.
This patch (of 4):
Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e. swapon'ed,
swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct
list_heads. Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of
entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head
functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic.
The change fixes the bug:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry
are incorrectly used equally in pairs. The swap behavior is now as
advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and
equal priority swap targets are used concurrently.

[PATCH] swap: swap_lock replace list+device
The idea of a swap_device_lock per device, and a swap_list_lock over them all,
is appealing; but in practice almost every holder of swap_device_lock must
already hold swap_list_lock, which defeats the purpose of the split.
The only exceptions have been swap_duplicate, valid_swaphandles and an
untrodden path in try_to_unuse (plus a few places added in this series).
valid_swaphandles doesn't show up high in profiles, but swap_duplicate does
demand attention. However, with the hold time in get_swap_pages so much
reduced, I've not yet found a load and set of swap device priorities to show
even swap_duplicate benefitting from the split. Certainly the split is mere
overhead in the common case of a single swap device.
So, replace swap_list_lock and swap_device_lock by spinlock_t swap_lock
(generally we seem to prefer an _ in the name, and not hide in a macro).
If someone can show a regression in swap_duplicate, then probably we should
add a hashlock for the swap_map entries alone (shorts being anatomic), so as
to help the case of the single swap device too.

swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_head
Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked
list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index,
which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap
target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the
singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start
at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest
priority entry each time, even if the entry is full.
Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head.
Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist
contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new
swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and
available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect
the swap_avail_head list.
Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering
the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing
manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct
entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically
ordered correctly.
Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and
optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full
swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist
allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the
plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not
do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change
from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main
swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

[PATCH] swap: swap_lock replace list+device
The idea of a swap_device_lock per device, and a swap_list_lock over them all,
is appealing; but in practice almost every holder of swap_device_lock must
already hold swap_list_lock, which defeats the purpose of the split.
The only exceptions have been swap_duplicate, valid_swaphandles and an
untrodden path in try_to_unuse (plus a few places added in this series).
valid_swaphandles doesn't show up high in profiles, but swap_duplicate does
demand attention. However, with the hold time in get_swap_pages so much
reduced, I've not yet found a load and set of swap device priorities to show
even swap_duplicate benefitting from the split. Certainly the split is mere
overhead in the common case of a single swap device.
So, replace swap_list_lock and swap_device_lock by spinlock_t swap_lock
(generally we seem to prefer an _ in the name, and not hide in a macro).
If someone can show a regression in swap_duplicate, then probably we should
add a hashlock for the swap_map entries alone (shorts being anatomic), so as
to help the case of the single swap device too.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node
If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node
information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap
device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance.
The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide
which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same
priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous
single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each
numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap
devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's
swap_avail_list.
The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value,
or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The
priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap
device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy
doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous
starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then
downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value.
Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are
available, each sit on a different node:
swapA on node 0
swapB on node 1

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile
swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even
slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes
from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new
per-partition lock.
Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and
swap_list are still protected by swap_lock.
nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In
theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually
there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem.
Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only
protected by swap_info_struct.lock.
Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and
swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the
flags is ok with either the locks hold.
If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold
the former first to avoid deadlock.
swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a
new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we
check it. If it's valid, we use it.
It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice,
swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can
say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And
BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free
swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the
lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly
recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me.
But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem.
"swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the
swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the
speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test,
so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

mm: fix ever-decreasing swap priority
Vegard Nossum has noticed the ever-decreasing negative priority in a
swapon /swapoff loop, which eventually would misprioritize when int wraps
positive. Not worth spending much code on, but probably better fixed.
It's easy to handle the swapping on and off of just one area, but there's
not much point if a pair or more still misbehave. To handle the general
case, swapoff should compact negative priorities, keeping them always from
-1 to -MAX_SWAPFILES. That's a change, but should cause no regression,
since these negative (unspecified) priorities are disjoint from the the
positive specified priorities 0 to 32767.
One small functional difference, which seems appropriate: when swapoff
fails to free all swap from a negative priority area, that area is now
reinserted at lowest priority, rather than at its original priority.
In moving down swapon's setting of priority, I notice that an area is
visible to /proc/swaps when it has swap_map set, yet that was being set
before all the visible fields were properly filled in: corrected.

swap: change swap_info singly-linked list to list_head
The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries
for all active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because:
- it stores the entries in priority order
- there is a pointer to the highest priority entry
- there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry
- there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock
- swap entries of equal priority should be used equally
this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally.
That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists,
but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to
understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic.
The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list
using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed
and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority
swap_info entry, even if it's full. While this does introduce unnecessary
list iteration (i.e. Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where
one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and
manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug;
and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration.
The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new
really, just functions to match existing regular list functions. These
are used by the next two patches.
The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in
the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries
(which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that
all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally.
The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist
that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full.
As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from
swap - plists handle ordering automatically. The list naming is also
clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed
from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named
swap_avail_head. A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so
swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as
they become full or not full.
This patch (of 4):
Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e. swapon'ed,
swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct
list_heads. Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of
entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head
functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic.
The change fixes the bug:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry
are incorrectly used equally in pairs. The swap behavior is now as
advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and
equal priority swap targets are used concurrently.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node
If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node
information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap
device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance.
The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide
which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same
priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous
single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each
numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap
devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's
swap_avail_list.
The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value,
or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The
priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap
device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy
doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous
starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then
downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value.
Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are
available, each sit on a different node:
swapA on node 0
swapB on node 1
swapC on node 2
swapD on node 3
After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD.
Current behaviour:
their priorities will be:
swapA: -1
swapB: -2
swapC: -3
swapD: -4
And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be:
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
New behaviour:
their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped):
swapA: -2
swapB: -3
swapC: -4
swapD: -5
And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be:
swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */
swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */
swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */
swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap
a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random
position to trigger both swap in and out is used.
On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives

swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_head
Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked
list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index,
which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap
target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the
singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start
at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest
priority entry each time, even if the entry is full.
Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head.
Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist
contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new
swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and
available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect
the swap_avail_head list.
Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering
the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing
manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct
entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically
ordered correctly.
Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and
optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full
swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist
allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the
plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not
do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change
from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main
swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect
the swap_avail_head list.
Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering
the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing
manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct
entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically
ordered correctly.
Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and
optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full
swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist
allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the
plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not
do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change
from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main
swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node
If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node
information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap
device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance.
The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide
which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same
priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous
single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each
numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap
devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's
swap_avail_list.
The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value,
or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The
priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap
device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy
doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous
starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then
downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value.
Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are
available, each sit on a different node:
swapA on node 0
swapB on node 1
swapC on node 2
swapD on node 3
After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD.
Current behaviour:
their priorities will be:
swapA: -1
swapB: -2
swapC: -3
swapD: -4
And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be:
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
New behaviour:
their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped):
swapA: -2
swapB: -3
swapC: -4
swapD: -5
And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be:
swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */
swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */
swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */
swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap
a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random
position to trigger both swap in and out is used.
On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives
are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the
result is:
runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G
kernel throughput
vanilla 13306
auto-binding 15169 +14%
runtime=30m/processes=64/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=2G

swap: change swap_info singly-linked list to list_head
The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries
for all active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because:
- it stores the entries in priority order
- there is a pointer to the highest priority entry
- there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry
- there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock
- swap entries of equal priority should be used equally
this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally.
That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists,
but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to
understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic.
The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list
using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed
and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority
swap_info entry, even if it's full. While this does introduce unnecessary
list iteration (i.e. Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where
one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and
manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug;
and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration.
The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new
really, just functions to match existing regular list functions. These
are used by the next two patches.
The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in
the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries
(which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that
all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally.
The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist
that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full.
As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from
swap - plists handle ordering automatically. The list naming is also
clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed
from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named
swap_avail_head. A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so
swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as
they become full or not full.
This patch (of 4):
Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e. swapon'ed,
swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct
list_heads. Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of
entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head
functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic.
The change fixes the bug:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry
are incorrectly used equally in pairs. The swap behavior is now as
advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and
equal priority swap targets are used concurrently.

mm: fix ever-decreasing swap priority
Vegard Nossum has noticed the ever-decreasing negative priority in a
swapon /swapoff loop, which eventually would misprioritize when int wraps
positive. Not worth spending much code on, but probably better fixed.
It's easy to handle the swapping on and off of just one area, but there's
not much point if a pair or more still misbehave. To handle the general
case, swapoff should compact negative priorities, keeping them always from
-1 to -MAX_SWAPFILES. That's a change, but should cause no regression,
since these negative (unspecified) priorities are disjoint from the the
positive specified priorities 0 to 32767.
One small functional difference, which seems appropriate: when swapoff
fails to free all swap from a negative priority area, that area is now
reinserted at lowest priority, rather than at its original priority.
In moving down swapon's setting of priority, I notice that an area is
visible to /proc/swaps when it has swap_map set, yet that was being set
before all the visible fields were properly filled in: corrected.

swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_head
Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked
list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index,
which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap
target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the
singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start
at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest
priority entry each time, even if the entry is full.
Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head.
Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist
contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new
swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and
available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect
the swap_avail_head list.
Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering
the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing
manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct
entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically
ordered correctly.
Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and
optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full
swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist
allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the
plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not
do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change
from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main
swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile
swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even
slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes
from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new
per-partition lock.
Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and
swap_list are still protected by swap_lock.
nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In
theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually
there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem.
Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only
protected by swap_info_struct.lock.
Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and
swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the
flags is ok with either the locks hold.
If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold
the former first to avoid deadlock.
swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a
new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we
check it. If it's valid, we use it.
It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice,
swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can
say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And
BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free
swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the
lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly
recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me.
But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem.
"swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the
swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the
speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test,
so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

[PATCH] swap: swap_lock replace list+device
The idea of a swap_device_lock per device, and a swap_list_lock over them all,
is appealing; but in practice almost every holder of swap_device_lock must
already hold swap_list_lock, which defeats the purpose of the split.
The only exceptions have been swap_duplicate, valid_swaphandles and an
untrodden path in try_to_unuse (plus a few places added in this series).
valid_swaphandles doesn't show up high in profiles, but swap_duplicate does
demand attention. However, with the hold time in get_swap_pages so much
reduced, I've not yet found a load and set of swap device priorities to show
even swap_duplicate benefitting from the split. Certainly the split is mere
overhead in the common case of a single swap device.
So, replace swap_list_lock and swap_device_lock by spinlock_t swap_lock
(generally we seem to prefer an _ in the name, and not hide in a macro).
If someone can show a regression in swap_duplicate, then probably we should
add a hashlock for the swap_map entries alone (shorts being anatomic), so as
to help the case of the single swap device too.

swap: change swap_info singly-linked list to list_head
The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries
for all active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because:
- it stores the entries in priority order
- there is a pointer to the highest priority entry
- there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry
- there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock
- swap entries of equal priority should be used equally
this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally.
That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists,
but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to
understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic.
The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list
using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed
and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority
swap_info entry, even if it's full. While this does introduce unnecessary
list iteration (i.e. Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where
one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and
manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug;
and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration.
The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new
really, just functions to match existing regular list functions. These
are used by the next two patches.
The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in
the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries
(which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that
all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally.
The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist
that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full.
As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from
swap - plists handle ordering automatically. The list naming is also
clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed
from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named
swap_avail_head. A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so
swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as
they become full or not full.
This patch (of 4):
Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e. swapon'ed,
swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct
list_heads. Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of
entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head
functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic.
The change fixes the bug:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry
are incorrectly used equally in pairs. The swap behavior is now as
advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and
equal priority swap targets are used concurrently.

[PATCH] swap: scan_swap_map drop swap_device_lock
get_swap_page has often shown up on latency traces, doing lengthy scans while
holding two spinlocks. swap_list_lock is already dropped, now scan_swap_map
drop swap_device_lock before scanning the swap_map.
While scanning for an empty cluster, don't worry that racing tasks may
allocate what was free and free what was allocated; but when allocating an
entry, check it's still free after retaking the lock. Avoid dropping the lock
in the expected common path. No barriers beyond the locks, just let the
cookie crumble; highest_bit limit is volatile, but benign.
Guard against swapoff: must check SWP_WRITEOK before allocating, must raise
SWP_SCANNING reference count while in scan_swap_map, swapoff wait for that to
fall - just use schedule_timeout, we don't want to burden scan_swap_map
itself, and it's very unlikely that anyone can really still be in
scan_swap_map once swapoff gets this far.

swap: make swap discard async
swap can do cluster discard for SSD, which is good, but there are some
problems here:
1. swap do the discard just before page reclaim gets a swap entry and
writes the disk sectors. This is useless for high end SSD, because an
overwrite to a sector implies a discard to original sector too. A
discard + overwrite == overwrite.
2. the purpose of doing discard is to improve SSD firmware garbage
collection. Idealy we should send discard as early as possible, so
firmware can do something smart. Sending discard just after swap entry
is freed is considered early compared to sending discard before write.
Of course, if workload is already bound to gc speed, sending discard
earlier or later doesn't make
3. block discard is a sync API, which will delay scan_swap_map()
significantly.
4. Write and discard command can be executed parallel in PCIe SSD.
Making swap discard async can make execution more efficiently.
This patch makes swap discard async and moves discard to where swap entry
is freed. Discard and write have no dependence now, so above issues can
be avoided. Idealy we should do discard for any freed sectors, but some
SSD discard is very slow. This patch still does discard for a whole
cluster.
My test does a several round of 'mmap, write, unmap', which will trigger a
lot of swap discard. In a fusionio card, with this patch, the test
runtime is reduced to 18% of the time without it, so around 5.5x faster.

swap_info: swap count continuations
Swap is duplicated (reference count incremented by one) whenever the same
swap page is inserted into another mm (when forking finds a swap entry in
place of a pte, or when reclaim unmaps a pte to insert the swap entry).
swap_info_struct's vmalloc'ed swap_map is the array of these reference
counts: but what happens when the unsigned short (or unsigned char since
the preceding patch) is full? (and its high bit is kept for a cache flag)
We then lose track of it, never freeing, leaving it in use until swapoff:
at which point we _hope_ that a single pass will have found all instances,
assume there are no more, and will lose user data if we're wrong.
Swapping of KSM pages has not yet been enabled; but it is implemented,
and makes it very easy for a user to overflow the maximum swap count:
possible with ordinary process pages, but unlikely, even when pid_max
has been raised from PID_MAX_DEFAULT.
This patch implements swap count continuations: when the count overflows,
a continuation page is allocated and linked to the original vmalloc'ed
map page, and this used to hold the continuation counts for that entry
and its neighbours. These continuation pages are seldom referenced:
the common paths all work on the original swap_map, only referring to
a continuation page when the low "digit" of a count is incremented or
decremented through SWAP_MAP_MAX.

[PATCH] swap: swap_lock replace list+device
The idea of a swap_device_lock per device, and a swap_list_lock over them all,
is appealing; but in practice almost every holder of swap_device_lock must
already hold swap_list_lock, which defeats the purpose of the split.
The only exceptions have been swap_duplicate, valid_swaphandles and an
untrodden path in try_to_unuse (plus a few places added in this series).
valid_swaphandles doesn't show up high in profiles, but swap_duplicate does
demand attention. However, with the hold time in get_swap_pages so much
reduced, I've not yet found a load and set of swap device priorities to show
even swap_duplicate benefitting from the split. Certainly the split is mere
overhead in the common case of a single swap device.
So, replace swap_list_lock and swap_device_lock by spinlock_t swap_lock
(generally we seem to prefer an _ in the name, and not hide in a macro).
If someone can show a regression in swap_duplicate, then probably we should
add a hashlock for the swap_map entries alone (shorts being anatomic), so as
to help the case of the single swap device too.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD
I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to
20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to
80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to
search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow.
Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only
care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a
cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If
the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters
will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With
this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears.
This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is
aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently.
We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough
and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see
below).
The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free
cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too.
And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end
of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do
search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this
isn't a problem at all.
Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will
reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big
problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason
I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test,
so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

[PATCH] swap: swap_lock replace list+device
The idea of a swap_device_lock per device, and a swap_list_lock over them all,
is appealing; but in practice almost every holder of swap_device_lock must
already hold swap_list_lock, which defeats the purpose of the split.
The only exceptions have been swap_duplicate, valid_swaphandles and an
untrodden path in try_to_unuse (plus a few places added in this series).
valid_swaphandles doesn't show up high in profiles, but swap_duplicate does
demand attention. However, with the hold time in get_swap_pages so much
reduced, I've not yet found a load and set of swap device priorities to show
even swap_duplicate benefitting from the split. Certainly the split is mere
overhead in the common case of a single swap device.
So, replace swap_list_lock and swap_device_lock by spinlock_t swap_lock
(generally we seem to prefer an _ in the name, and not hide in a macro).
If someone can show a regression in swap_duplicate, then probably we should
add a hashlock for the swap_map entries alone (shorts being anatomic), so as
to help the case of the single swap device too.

swap: change swap_info singly-linked list to list_head
The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries
for all active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because:
- it stores the entries in priority order
- there is a pointer to the highest priority entry
- there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry
- there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock
- swap entries of equal priority should be used equally
this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally.
That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists,
but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to
understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic.
The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list
using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed
and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority
swap_info entry, even if it's full. While this does introduce unnecessary
list iteration (i.e. Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where
one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and
manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug;
and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration.
The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new
really, just functions to match existing regular list functions. These
are used by the next two patches.
The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in
the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries
(which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that
all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally.
The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist
that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full.
As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from
swap - plists handle ordering automatically. The list naming is also
clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed
from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named
swap_avail_head. A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so
swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as
they become full or not full.
This patch (of 4):
Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e. swapon'ed,
swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct
list_heads. Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of
entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head
functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic.
The change fixes the bug:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry
are incorrectly used equally in pairs. The swap behavior is now as
advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and
equal priority swap targets are used concurrently.

swap: make cluster allocation per-cpu
swap cluster allocation is to get better request merge to improve
performance. But the cluster is shared globally, if multiple tasks are
doing swap, this will cause interleave disk access. While multiple tasks
swap is quite common, for example, each numa node has a kswapd thread
doing swap and multiple threads/processes doing direct page reclaim.
ioscheduler can't help too much here, because tasks don't send swapout IO
down to block layer in the meantime. Block layer does merge some IOs, but
a lot not, depending on how many tasks are doing swapout concurrently. In
practice, I've seen a lot of small size IO in swapout workloads.
We makes the cluster allocation per-cpu here. The interleave disk access
issue goes away. All tasks swapout to their own cluster, so swapout will
become sequential, which can be easily merged to big size IO. If one CPU
can't get its per-cpu cluster (for example, there is no free cluster
anymore in the swap), it will fallback to scan swap_map. The CPU can
still continue swap. We don't need recycle free swap entries of other
CPUs.
In my test (swap to a 2-disk raid0 partition), this improves around 10%
swapout throughput, and request size is increased significantly.
How does this impact swap readahead is uncertain though. On one side,
page reclaim always isolates and swaps several adjancent pages, this will
make page reclaim write the pages sequentially and benefit readahead. On
the other side, several CPU write pages interleave means the pages don't
live _sequentially_ but relatively _near_. In the per-cpu allocation
case, if adjancent pages are written by different cpus, they will live
relatively _far_. So how this impacts swap readahead depends on how many
pages page reclaim isolates and swaps one time. If the number is big,
this patch will benefit swap readahead. Of course, this is about
sequential access pattern. The patch has no impact for random access
pattern, because the new cluster allocation algorithm is just for SSD.
Alternative solution is organizing swap layout to be per-mm instead of
this per-cpu approach. In the per-mm layout, we allocate a disk range for
each mm, so pages of one mm live in swap disk adjacently. per-mm layout
has potential issues of lock contention if multiple reclaimers are swap
pages from one mm. For a sequential workload, per-mm layout is better to
implement swap readahead, because pages from the mm are adjacent in disk.
But per-cpu layout isn't very bad in this workload, as page reclaim always
isolates and swaps several pages one time, such pages will still live in
disk sequentially and readahead can utilize this. For a random workload,
per-mm layout isn't beneficial of request merge, because it's quite
possible pages from different mm are swapout in the meantime and IO can't
be merged in per-mm layout. while with per-cpu layout we can merge
requests from any mm. Considering random workload is more popular in
workloads with swap (and per-cpu approach isn't too bad for sequential
workload too), I'm choosing per-cpu layout.

mm, swap: use kvzalloc to allocate some swap data structures
Now vzalloc() is used in swap code to allocate various data structures,
such as swap cache, swap slots cache, cluster info, etc. Because the
size may be too large on some system, so that normal kzalloc() may fail.
But using kzalloc() has some advantages, for example, less memory
fragmentation, less TLB pressure, etc. So change the data structure
allocation in swap code to use kvzalloc() which will try kzalloc()
firstly, and fallback to vzalloc() if kzalloc() failed.
In general, although kmalloc() will reduce the number of high-order
pages in short term, vmalloc() will cause more pain for memory
fragmentation in the long term. And the swap data structure allocation
that is changed in this patch is expected to be long term allocation.
From Dave Hansen:
"for example, we have a two-page data structure. vmalloc() takes two
effectively random order-0 pages, probably from two different 2M pages
and pins them. That "kills" two 2M pages. kmalloc(), allocating two
*contiguous* pages, will not cross a 2M boundary. That means it will
only "kill" the possibility of a single 2M page. More 2M pages == less
fragmentation.
The allocation in this patch occurs during swap on time, which is
usually done during system boot, so usually we have high opportunity to
allocate the contiguous pages successfully.
The allocation for swap_map[] in struct swap_info_struct is not changed,
because that is usually quite large and vmalloc_to_page() is used for
it. That makes it a little harder to change.

mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks
The patch is to improve the scalability of the swap out/in via using
fine grained locks for the swap cache. In current kernel, one address
space will be used for each swap device. And in the common
configuration, the number of the swap device is very small (one is
typical). This causes the heavy lock contention on the radix tree of
the address space if multiple tasks swap out/in concurrently.
But in fact, there is no dependency between pages in the swap cache. So
that, we can split the one shared address space for each swap device
into several address spaces to reduce the lock contention. In the
patch, the shared address space is split into 64MB trunks. 64MB is
chosen to balance the memory space usage and effect of lock contention
reduction.
The size of struct address_space on x86_64 architecture is 408B, so with
the patch, 6528B more memory will be used for every 1GB swap space on
x86_64 architecture.
One address space is still shared for the swap entries in the same 64M
trunks. To avoid lock contention for the first round of swap space
allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the initial free clusters
list is changed. The swap space distance between the consecutive swap
clusters in the free cluster list is at least 64M. After the first
round of allocation, the swap clusters are expected to be freed
randomly, so the lock contention should be reduced effectively.

block: make blkdev_get/put() handle exclusive access
Over time, block layer has accumulated a set of APIs dealing with bdev
open, close, claim and release.
* blkdev_get/put() are the primary open and close functions.
* bd_claim/release() deal with exclusive open.
* open/close_bdev_exclusive() are combination of open and claim and
the other way around, respectively.
* bd_link/unlink_disk_holder() to create and remove holder/slave
symlinks.
* open_by_devnum() wraps bdget() + blkdev_get().
The interface is a bit confusing and the decoupling of open and claim
makes it impossible to properly guarantee exclusive access as
in-kernel open + claim sequence can disturb the existing exclusive
open even before the block layer knows the current open if for another
exclusive access. Reorganize the interface such that,
* blkdev_get() is extended to include exclusive access management.
@holder argument is added and, if is @FMODE_EXCL specified, it will
gain exclusive access atomically w.r.t. other exclusive accesses.
* blkdev_put() is similarly extended. It now takes @mode argument and
if @FMODE_EXCL is set, it releases an exclusive access. Also, when
the last exclusive claim is released, the holder/slave symlinks are
removed automatically.
* bd_claim/release() and close_bdev_exclusive() are no longer
necessary and either made static or removed.
* bd_link_disk_holder() remains the same but bd_unlink_disk_holder()
is no longer necessary and removed.
* open_bdev_exclusive() becomes a simple wrapper around lookup_bdev()
and blkdev_get(). It also has an unexpected extra bdev_read_only()
test which probably should be moved into blkdev_get().
* open_by_devnum() is modified to take @holder argument and pass it to
blkdev_get().
Most of bdev open/close operations are unified into blkdev_get/put()
and most exclusive accesses are tested atomically at the open time (as
it should). This cleans up code and removes some, both valid and
invalid, but unnecessary all the same, corner cases.
open_bdev_exclusive() and open_by_devnum() can use further cleanup -
rename to blkdev_get_by_path() and blkdev_get_by_devt() and drop
special features. Well, let's leave them for another day.
Most conversions are straight-forward. drbd conversion is a bit more
involved as there was some reordering, but the logic should stay the
same.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node
If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node
information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap
device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance.
The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide
which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same
priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous
single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each
numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap
devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's
swap_avail_list.
The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value,
or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The
priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap
device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy
doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous
starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then
downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value.
Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are
available, each sit on a different node:
swapA on node 0
swapB on node 1
swapC on node 2
swapD on node 3
After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD.
Current behaviour:
their priorities will be:
swapA: -1
swapB: -2
swapC: -3
swapD: -4
And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be:
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
New behaviour:
their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped):
swapA: -2
swapB: -3
swapC: -4
swapD: -5
And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be:
swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */
swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */
swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */
swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap
a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random
position to trigger both swap in and out is used.
On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives
are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the
result is:
runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G
kernel throughput
vanilla 13306
auto-binding 15169 +14%
runtime=30m/processes=64/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=2G
kernel throughput
vanilla 11885
auto-binding 14879 +25%

[PATCH] swap: swap_lock replace list+device
The idea of a swap_device_lock per device, and a swap_list_lock over them all,
is appealing; but in practice almost every holder of swap_device_lock must
already hold swap_list_lock, which defeats the purpose of the split.
The only exceptions have been swap_duplicate, valid_swaphandles and an
untrodden path in try_to_unuse (plus a few places added in this series).
valid_swaphandles doesn't show up high in profiles, but swap_duplicate does
demand attention. However, with the hold time in get_swap_pages so much
reduced, I've not yet found a load and set of swap device priorities to show
even swap_duplicate benefitting from the split. Certainly the split is mere
overhead in the common case of a single swap device.
So, replace swap_list_lock and swap_device_lock by spinlock_t swap_lock
(generally we seem to prefer an _ in the name, and not hide in a macro).
If someone can show a regression in swap_duplicate, then probably we should
add a hashlock for the swap_map entries alone (shorts being anatomic), so as
to help the case of the single swap device too.

[PATCH] Swapless page migration: add R/W migration entries
Implement read/write migration ptes
We take the upper two swapfiles for the two types of migration ptes and define
a series of macros in swapops.h.
The VM is modified to handle the migration entries. migration entries can
only be encountered when the page they are pointing to is locked. This limits
the number of places one has to fix. We also check in copy_pte_range and in
mprotect_pte_range() for migration ptes.
We check for migration ptes in do_swap_cache and call a function that will
then wait on the page lock. This allows us to effectively stop all accesses
to apge.
Migration entries are created by try_to_unmap if called for migration and
removed by local functions in migrate.c
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
Several times while testing swapless page migration (I've no NUMA, just
hacking it up to migrate recklessly while running load), I've hit the
BUG_ON(!PageLocked(p)) in migration_entry_to_page.
This comes from an orphaned migration entry, unrelated to the current
correctly locked migration, but hit by remove_anon_migration_ptes as it
checks an address in each vma of the anon_vma list.
Such an orphan may be left behind if an earlier migration raced with fork:
copy_one_pte can duplicate a migration entry from parent to child, after
remove_anon_migration_ptes has checked the child vma, but before it has
removed it from the parent vma. (If the process were later to fault on this
orphaned entry, it would hit the same BUG from migration_entry_wait.)
This could be fixed by locking anon_vma in copy_one_pte, but we'd rather
not. There's no such problem with file pages, because vma_prio_tree_add
adds child vma after parent vma, and the page table locking at each end is
enough to serialize. Follow that example with anon_vma: add new vmas to the
tail instead of the head.
(There's no corresponding problem when inserting migration entries,
because a missed pte will leave the page count and mapcount high, which is
allowed for. And there's no corresponding problem when migrating via swap,
because a leftover swap entry will be correctly faulted. But the swapless
method has no refcounting of its entries.)
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
pte_unmap_unlock() takes the pte pointer as an argument.
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
Several times while testing swapless page migration, gcc has tried to exec
a pointer instead of a string: smells like COW mappings are not being
properly write-protected on fork.
The protection in copy_one_pte looks very convincing, until at last you
realize that the second arg to make_migration_entry is a boolean "write",
and SWP_MIGRATION_READ is 30.
Anyway, it's better done like in change_pte_range, using
is_write_migration_entry and make_migration_entry_read.
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
Remove unnecessary obfuscation from sys_swapon's range check on swap type,
which blew up causing memory corruption once swapless migration made
MAX_SWAPFILES no longer 2 ^ MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT.

swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_head
Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked
list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index,
which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap
target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the
singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start
at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest
priority entry each time, even if the entry is full.
Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head.
Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist
contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new
swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and
available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect
the swap_avail_head list.
Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering
the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing
manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct
entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically
ordered correctly.
Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and
optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full
swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist
allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the
plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not
do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change
from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main
swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

available, each sit on a different node:
swapA on node 0
swapB on node 1
swapC on node 2
swapD on node 3
After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD.
Current behaviour:
their priorities will be:
swapA: -1
swapB: -2
swapC: -3
swapD: -4
And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be:
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
New behaviour:
their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped):
swapA: -2
swapB: -3
swapC: -4
swapD: -5
And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be:
swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */
swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */
swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */
swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap
a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random
position to trigger both swap in and out is used.
On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives
are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the
result is:
runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G
kernel throughput
vanilla 13306
auto-binding 15169 +14%
runtime=30m/processes=64/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=2G
kernel throughput
vanilla 11885
auto-binding 14879 +25%

[PATCH] swap: swap_lock replace list+device
The idea of a swap_device_lock per device, and a swap_list_lock over them all,
is appealing; but in practice almost every holder of swap_device_lock must
already hold swap_list_lock, which defeats the purpose of the split.
The only exceptions have been swap_duplicate, valid_swaphandles and an
untrodden path in try_to_unuse (plus a few places added in this series).
valid_swaphandles doesn't show up high in profiles, but swap_duplicate does
demand attention. However, with the hold time in get_swap_pages so much
reduced, I've not yet found a load and set of swap device priorities to show
even swap_duplicate benefitting from the split. Certainly the split is mere
overhead in the common case of a single swap device.
So, replace swap_list_lock and swap_device_lock by spinlock_t swap_lock
(generally we seem to prefer an _ in the name, and not hide in a macro).
If someone can show a regression in swap_duplicate, then probably we should
add a hashlock for the swap_map entries alone (shorts being anatomic), so as
to help the case of the single swap device too.

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile
swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even
slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes
from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new
per-partition lock.
Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and
swap_list are still protected by swap_lock.
nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In
theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually
there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem.
Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only
protected by swap_info_struct.lock.
Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and
swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the
flags is ok with either the locks hold.
If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold
the former first to avoid deadlock.
swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a
new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we
check it. If it's valid, we use it.
It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice,
swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can
say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And
BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free
swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the
lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly
recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me.
But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem.
"swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the
swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the
speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test,
so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

mm, swap: fix race between swap count continuation operations
One page may store a set of entries of the sis->swap_map
(swap_info_struct->swap_map) in multiple swap clusters.
If some of the entries has sis->swap_map[offset] > SWAP_MAP_MAX,
multiple pages will be used to store the set of entries of the
sis->swap_map. And the pages are linked with page->lru. This is called
swap count continuation. To access the pages which store the set of
entries of the sis->swap_map simultaneously, previously, sis->lock is
used. But to improve the scalability of __swap_duplicate(), swap
cluster lock may be used in swap_count_continued() now. This may race
with add_swap_count_continuation() which operates on a nearby swap
cluster, in which the sis->swap_map entries are stored in the same page.
The race can cause wrong swap count in practice, thus cause unfreeable
swap entries or software lockup, etc.
To fix the race, a new spin lock called cont_lock is added to struct
swap_info_struct to protect the swap count continuation page list. This
is a lock at the swap device level, so the scalability isn't very well.
But it is still much better than the original sis->lock, because it is
only acquired/released when swap count continuation is used. Which is
considered rare in practice. If it turns out that the scalability
becomes an issue for some workloads, we can split the lock into some
more fine grained locks.

swap: fix shmem swapping when more than 8 areas
Minchan Kim reports that when a system has many swap areas, and tmpfs
swaps out to the ninth or more, shmem_getpage_gfp()'s attempts to read
back the page cannot locate it, and the read fails with -ENOMEM.
Whoops. Yes, I blindly followed read_swap_header()'s pte_to_swp_entry(
swp_entry_to_pte()) technique for determining maximum usable swap
offset, without stopping to realize that that actually depends upon the
pte swap encoding shifting swap offset to the higher bits and truncating
it there. Whereas our radix_tree swap encoding leaves offset in the
lower bits: it's swap "type" (that is, index of swap area) that was
truncated.
Fix it by reducing the SWP_TYPE_SHIFT() in swapops.h, and removing the
broken radix_to_swp_entry(swp_to_radix_entry()) from read_swap_header().
This does not reduce the usable size of a swap area any further, it
leaves it as claimed when making the original commit: no change from 3.0
on x86_64, nor on i386 without PAE; but 3.0's 512GB is reduced to 128GB
per swapfile on i386 with PAE. It's not a change I would have risked
five years ago, but with x86_64 supported for ten years, I believe it's
appropriate now.
Hmm, and what if some architecture implements its swap pte with offset
encoded below type? That would equally break the maximum usable swap
offset check. Happily, they all follow the same tradition of encoding
offset above type, but I'll prepare a check on that for next.

mm: let swap use exceptional entries
If swap entries are to be stored along with struct page pointers in a
radix tree, they need to be distinguished as exceptional entries.
Most of the handling of swap entries in radix tree will be contained in
shmem.c, but a few functions in filemap.c's common code need to check
for their appearance: find_get_page(), find_lock_page(),
find_get_pages() and find_get_pages_contig().
So as not to slow their fast paths, tuck those checks inside the
existing checks for unlikely radix_tree_deref_slot(); except for
find_lock_page(), where it is an added test. And make it a BUG in
find_get_pages_tag(), which is not applied to tmpfs files.
A part of the reason for eliminating shmem_readpage() earlier, was to
minimize the places where common code would need to allow for swap
entries.
The swp_entry_t known to swapfile.c must be massaged into a slightly
different form when stored in the radix tree, just as it gets massaged
into a pte_t when stored in page tables.
In an i386 kernel this limits its information (type and page offset) to
30 bits: given 32 "types" of swapfile and 4kB pagesize, that's a maximum
swapfile size of 128GB. Which is less than the 512GB we previously
allowed with X86_PAE (where the swap entry can occupy the entire upper
32 bits of a pte_t), but not a new limitation on 32-bit without PAE; and
there's not a new limitation on 64-bit (where swap filesize is already
limited to 16TB by a 32-bit page offset). Thirty areas of 128GB is
probably still enough swap for a 64GB 32-bit machine.
Provide swp_to_radix_entry() and radix_to_swp_entry() conversions, and
enforce filesize limit in read_swap_header(), just as for ptes.

broken radix_to_swp_entry(swp_to_radix_entry()) from read_swap_header().
This does not reduce the usable size of a swap area any further, it
leaves it as claimed when making the original commit: no change from 3.0
on x86_64, nor on i386 without PAE; but 3.0's 512GB is reduced to 128GB
per swapfile on i386 with PAE. It's not a change I would have risked
five years ago, but with x86_64 supported for ten years, I believe it's
appropriate now.
Hmm, and what if some architecture implements its swap pte with offset
encoded below type? That would equally break the maximum usable swap
offset check. Happily, they all follow the same tradition of encoding
offset above type, but I'll prepare a check on that for next.

swap: fix shmem swapping when more than 8 areas
Minchan Kim reports that when a system has many swap areas, and tmpfs
swaps out to the ninth or more, shmem_getpage_gfp()'s attempts to read
back the page cannot locate it, and the read fails with -ENOMEM.
Whoops. Yes, I blindly followed read_swap_header()'s pte_to_swp_entry(
swp_entry_to_pte()) technique for determining maximum usable swap
offset, without stopping to realize that that actually depends upon the
pte swap encoding shifting swap offset to the higher bits and truncating
it there. Whereas our radix_tree swap encoding leaves offset in the
lower bits: it's swap "type" (that is, index of swap area) that was
truncated.
Fix it by reducing the SWP_TYPE_SHIFT() in swapops.h, and removing the
broken radix_to_swp_entry(swp_to_radix_entry()) from read_swap_header().

mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks
The patch is to improve the scalability of the swap out/in via using
fine grained locks for the swap cache. In current kernel, one address
space will be used for each swap device. And in the common
configuration, the number of the swap device is very small (one is
typical). This causes the heavy lock contention on the radix tree of
the address space if multiple tasks swap out/in concurrently.
But in fact, there is no dependency between pages in the swap cache. So
that, we can split the one shared address space for each swap device
into several address spaces to reduce the lock contention. In the
patch, the shared address space is split into 64MB trunks. 64MB is
chosen to balance the memory space usage and effect of lock contention
reduction.
The size of struct address_space on x86_64 architecture is 408B, so with
the patch, 6528B more memory will be used for every 1GB swap space on
x86_64 architecture.
One address space is still shared for the swap entries in the same 64M
trunks. To avoid lock contention for the first round of swap space
allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the initial free clusters
list is changed. The swap space distance between the consecutive swap
clusters in the free cluster list is at least 64M. After the first
round of allocation, the swap clusters are expected to be freed
randomly, so the lock contention should be reduced effectively.

mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD
I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to
20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to
80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to
search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow.
Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only
care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a
cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If
the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters
will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With
this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears.
This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is
aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently.
We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough
and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see
below).
The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free
cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too.
And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end
of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do
search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this
isn't a problem at all.
Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will
reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big
problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason
I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks
The patch is to improve the scalability of the swap out/in via using
fine grained locks for the swap cache. In current kernel, one address
space will be used for each swap device. And in the common
configuration, the number of the swap device is very small (one is
typical). This causes the heavy lock contention on the radix tree of
the address space if multiple tasks swap out/in concurrently.
But in fact, there is no dependency between pages in the swap cache. So
that, we can split the one shared address space for each swap device
into several address spaces to reduce the lock contention. In the
patch, the shared address space is split into 64MB trunks. 64MB is
chosen to balance the memory space usage and effect of lock contention
reduction.
The size of struct address_space on x86_64 architecture is 408B, so with
the patch, 6528B more memory will be used for every 1GB swap space on
x86_64 architecture.
One address space is still shared for the swap entries in the same 64M
trunks. To avoid lock contention for the first round of swap space
allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the initial free clusters
list is changed. The swap space distance between the consecutive swap
clusters in the free cluster list is at least 64M. After the first
round of allocation, the swap clusters are expected to be freed
randomly, so the lock contention should be reduced effectively.

processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD
I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to
20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to
80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to
search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow.
Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only
care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a
cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If
the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters
will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With
this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears.
This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is
aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently.
We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough
and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see
below).
The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free
cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too.
And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end
of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do
search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this
isn't a problem at all.
Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will
reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big
problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason
I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

swap: discard while swapping only if SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES
Considering the use cases where the swap device supports discard:
a) and can do it quickly;
b) but it's slow to do in small granularities (or concurrent with other
I/O);
c) but the implementation is so horrendous that you don't even want to
send one down;
And assuming that the sysadmin considers it useful to send the discards down
at all, we would (probably) want the following solutions:
i. do the fine-grained discards for freed swap pages, if device is
capable of doing so optimally;
ii. do single-time (batched) swap area discards, either at swapon
or via something like fstrim (not implemented yet);
iii. allow doing both single-time and fine-grained discards; or
iv. turn it off completely (default behavior)
As implemented today, one can only enable/disable discards for swap, but
one cannot select, for instance, solution (ii) on a swap device like (b)
even though the single-time discard is regarded to be interesting, or
necessary to the workload because it would imply (1), and the device is
not capable of performing it optimally.
This patch addresses the scenario depicted above by introducing a way to
ensure the (probably) wanted solutions (i, ii, iii and iv) can be flexibly
flagged through swapon(8) to allow a sysadmin to select the best suitable
swap discard policy accordingly to system constraints.
This patch introduces SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES and SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_ONCE
new flags to allow more flexibe swap discard policies being flagged
through swapon(8). The default behavior is to keep both single-time, or
batched, area discards (SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_ONCE) and fine-grained discards
for page-clusters (SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES) enabled, in order to keep
consistentcy with older kernel behavior, as well as maintain compatibility
with older swapon(8). However, through the new introduced flags the best
suitable discard policy can be selected accordingly to any given swap
device constraint.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node
If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node
information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap
device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance.
The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide
which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same
priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous
single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each
numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap
devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's
swap_avail_list.
The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value,
or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The
priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap
device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy
doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous
starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then
downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value.
Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are
available, each sit on a different node:
swapA on node 0
swapB on node 1
swapC on node 2
swapD on node 3
After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD.
Current behaviour:
their priorities will be:
swapA: -1
swapB: -2
swapC: -3
swapD: -4
And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be:
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
New behaviour:
their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped):
swapA: -2
swapB: -3
swapC: -4
swapD: -5
And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be:
swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */
swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */
swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */
swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap
a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random
position to trigger both swap in and out is used.
On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives
are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the
result is:
runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G
kernel throughput
vanilla 13306
auto-binding 15169 +14%

swap: make swap discard async
swap can do cluster discard for SSD, which is good, but there are some
problems here:
1. swap do the discard just before page reclaim gets a swap entry and
writes the disk sectors. This is useless for high end SSD, because an
overwrite to a sector implies a discard to original sector too. A
discard + overwrite == overwrite.
2. the purpose of doing discard is to improve SSD firmware garbage
collection. Idealy we should send discard as early as possible, so
firmware can do something smart. Sending discard just after swap entry
is freed is considered early compared to sending discard before write.
Of course, if workload is already bound to gc speed, sending discard
earlier or later doesn't make
3. block discard is a sync API, which will delay scan_swap_map()
significantly.
4. Write and discard command can be executed parallel in PCIe SSD.
Making swap discard async can make execution more efficiently.
This patch makes swap discard async and moves discard to where swap entry
is freed. Discard and write have no dependence now, so above issues can
be avoided. Idealy we should do discard for any freed sectors, but some
SSD discard is very slow. This patch still does discard for a whole
cluster.
My test does a several round of 'mmap, write, unmap', which will trigger a
lot of swap discard. In a fusionio card, with this patch, the test
runtime is reduced to 18% of the time without it, so around 5.5x faster.

mm: support anonymous stable page
During developemnt for zram-swap asynchronous writeback, I found strange
corruption of compressed page, resulting in:

With investigation, it reveals currently stable page doesn't support
anonymous page. IOW, reuse_swap_page can reuse the page without waiting
writeback completion so it can overwrite page zram is compressing.
Unfortunately, zram has used per-cpu stream feature from v4.7.
It aims for increasing cache hit ratio of scratch buffer for
compressing. Downside of that approach is that zram should ask
memory space for compressed page in per-cpu context which requires
stricted gfp flag which could be failed. If so, it retries to
allocate memory space out of per-cpu context so it could get memory
this time and compress the data again, copies it to the memory space.
In this scenario, zram assumes the data should never be changed
but it is not true unless stable page supports. So, If the data is
changed under us, zram can make buffer overrun because second
compression size could be bigger than one we got in previous trial
and blindly, copy bigger size object to smaller buffer which is
buffer overrun. The overrun breaks zsmalloc free object chaining
so system goes crash like above.
I think below is same problem.
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=997574
Unfortunately, reuse_swap_page should be atomic so that we cannot wait on
writeback in there so the approach in this patch is simply return false if
we found it needs stable page. Although it increases memory footprint
temporarily, it happens rarely and it should be reclaimed easily althoug
it happened. Also, It would be better than waiting of IO completion,
which is critial path for application latency.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD
I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to
20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to
80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to
search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow.
Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only
care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a
cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If
the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters
will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With
this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears.
This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is
aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently.
We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough
and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see
below).
The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free
cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too.
And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end
of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do
search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this
isn't a problem at all.
Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will
reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big
problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason
I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between

In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the

Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of

that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

mm, swap: use kvzalloc to allocate some swap data structures
Now vzalloc() is used in swap code to allocate various data structures,
such as swap cache, swap slots cache, cluster info, etc. Because the
size may be too large on some system, so that normal kzalloc() may fail.
But using kzalloc() has some advantages, for example, less memory
fragmentation, less TLB pressure, etc. So change the data structure
allocation in swap code to use kvzalloc() which will try kzalloc()
firstly, and fallback to vzalloc() if kzalloc() failed.
In general, although kmalloc() will reduce the number of high-order
pages in short term, vmalloc() will cause more pain for memory
fragmentation in the long term. And the swap data structure allocation
that is changed in this patch is expected to be long term allocation.
From Dave Hansen:
"for example, we have a two-page data structure. vmalloc() takes two
effectively random order-0 pages, probably from two different 2M pages
and pins them. That "kills" two 2M pages. kmalloc(), allocating two
*contiguous* pages, will not cross a 2M boundary. That means it will
only "kill" the possibility of a single 2M page. More 2M pages == less
fragmentation.
The allocation in this patch occurs during swap on time, which is
usually done during system boot, so usually we have high opportunity to
allocate the contiguous pages successfully.
The allocation for swap_map[] in struct swap_info_struct is not changed,
because that is usually quite large and vmalloc_to_page() is used for
it. That makes it a little harder to change.

as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

swap: make cluster allocation per-cpu
swap cluster allocation is to get better request merge to improve
performance. But the cluster is shared globally, if multiple tasks are
doing swap, this will cause interleave disk access. While multiple tasks
swap is quite common, for example, each numa node has a kswapd thread
doing swap and multiple threads/processes doing direct page reclaim.
ioscheduler can't help too much here, because tasks don't send swapout IO
down to block layer in the meantime. Block layer does merge some IOs, but
a lot not, depending on how many tasks are doing swapout concurrently. In
practice, I've seen a lot of small size IO in swapout workloads.
We makes the cluster allocation per-cpu here. The interleave disk access
issue goes away. All tasks swapout to their own cluster, so swapout will
become sequential, which can be easily merged to big size IO. If one CPU
can't get its per-cpu cluster (for example, there is no free cluster
anymore in the swap), it will fallback to scan swap_map. The CPU can
still continue swap. We don't need recycle free swap entries of other
CPUs.
In my test (swap to a 2-disk raid0 partition), this improves around 10%
swapout throughput, and request size is increased significantly.
How does this impact swap readahead is uncertain though. On one side,
page reclaim always isolates and swaps several adjancent pages, this will
make page reclaim write the pages sequentially and benefit readahead. On
the other side, several CPU write pages interleave means the pages don't
live _sequentially_ but relatively _near_. In the per-cpu allocation
case, if adjancent pages are written by different cpus, they will live
relatively _far_. So how this impacts swap readahead depends on how many
pages page reclaim isolates and swaps one time. If the number is big,
this patch will benefit swap readahead. Of course, this is about
sequential access pattern. The patch has no impact for random access
pattern, because the new cluster allocation algorithm is just for SSD.
Alternative solution is organizing swap layout to be per-mm instead of
this per-cpu approach. In the per-mm layout, we allocate a disk range for
each mm, so pages of one mm live in swap disk adjacently. per-mm layout
has potential issues of lock contention if multiple reclaimers are swap
pages from one mm. For a sequential workload, per-mm layout is better to
implement swap readahead, because pages from the mm are adjacent in disk.
But per-cpu layout isn't very bad in this workload, as page reclaim always
isolates and swaps several pages one time, such pages will still live in
disk sequentially and readahead can utilize this. For a random workload,
per-mm layout isn't beneficial of request merge, because it's quite
possible pages from different mm are swapout in the meantime and IO can't
be merged in per-mm layout. while with per-cpu layout we can merge
requests from any mm. Considering random workload is more popular in
workloads with swap (and per-cpu approach isn't too bad for sequential
workload too), I'm choosing per-cpu layout.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD
I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to
20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to
80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to
search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow.
Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only
care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a
cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If
the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters
will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With
this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears.
This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is
aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently.
We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough
and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see
below).
The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free
cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too.
And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end
of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do
search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this
isn't a problem at all.
Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will
reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big
problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason
I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

mm, frontswap: convert frontswap_enabled to static key
I have noticed that frontswap.h first declares "frontswap_enabled" as
extern bool variable, and then overrides it with "#define
frontswap_enabled (1)" for CONFIG_FRONTSWAP=Y or (0) when disabled. The
bool variable isn't actually instantiated anywhere.
This all looks like an unfinished attempt to make frontswap_enabled
reflect whether a backend is instantiated. But in the current state,
all frontswap hooks call unconditionally into frontswap.c just to check
if frontswap_ops is non-NULL. This should at least be checked inline,
but we can further eliminate the overhead when CONFIG_FRONTSWAP is
enabled and no backend registered, using a static key that is initially
disabled, and gets enabled only upon first backend registration.
Thus, checks for "frontswap_enabled" are replaced with
"frontswap_enabled()" wrapping the static key check. There are two
exceptions:
- xen's selfballoon_process() was testing frontswap_enabled in code guarded
by #ifdef CONFIG_FRONTSWAP, which was effectively always true when reachable.
The patch just removes this check. Using frontswap_enabled() does not sound
correct here, as this can be true even without xen's own backend being
registered.
- in SYSCALL_DEFINE2(swapon), change the check to IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FRONTSWAP)
as it seems the bitmap allocation cannot currently be postponed until a
backend is registered. This means that frontswap will still have some
memory overhead by being configured, but without a backend.
After the patch, we can expect that some functions in frontswap.c are
called only when frontswap_ops is non-NULL. Change the checks there to
VM_BUG_ONs. While at it, convert other BUG_ONs to VM_BUG_ONs as
frontswap has been stable for some time.

mm, swap: use kvzalloc to allocate some swap data structures
Now vzalloc() is used in swap code to allocate various data structures,
such as swap cache, swap slots cache, cluster info, etc. Because the
size may be too large on some system, so that normal kzalloc() may fail.
But using kzalloc() has some advantages, for example, less memory
fragmentation, less TLB pressure, etc. So change the data structure
allocation in swap code to use kvzalloc() which will try kzalloc()
firstly, and fallback to vzalloc() if kzalloc() failed.
In general, although kmalloc() will reduce the number of high-order
pages in short term, vmalloc() will cause more pain for memory
fragmentation in the long term. And the swap data structure allocation
that is changed in this patch is expected to be long term allocation.
From Dave Hansen:
"for example, we have a two-page data structure. vmalloc() takes two
effectively random order-0 pages, probably from two different 2M pages
and pins them. That "kills" two 2M pages. kmalloc(), allocating two
*contiguous* pages, will not cross a 2M boundary. That means it will
only "kill" the possibility of a single 2M page. More 2M pages == less
fragmentation.
The allocation in this patch occurs during swap on time, which is
usually done during system boot, so usually we have high opportunity to
allocate the contiguous pages successfully.
The allocation for swap_map[] in struct swap_info_struct is not changed,
because that is usually quite large and vmalloc_to_page() is used for
it. That makes it a little harder to change.

swap: discard while swapping only if SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES
Considering the use cases where the swap device supports discard:
a) and can do it quickly;
b) but it's slow to do in small granularities (or concurrent with other
I/O);
c) but the implementation is so horrendous that you don't even want to
send one down;
And assuming that the sysadmin considers it useful to send the discards down
at all, we would (probably) want the following solutions:
i. do the fine-grained discards for freed swap pages, if device is
capable of doing so optimally;
ii. do single-time (batched) swap area discards, either at swapon
or via something like fstrim (not implemented yet);
iii. allow doing both single-time and fine-grained discards; or
iv. turn it off completely (default behavior)
As implemented today, one can only enable/disable discards for swap, but
one cannot select, for instance, solution (ii) on a swap device like (b)
even though the single-time discard is regarded to be interesting, or
necessary to the workload because it would imply (1), and the device is
not capable of performing it optimally.
This patch addresses the scenario depicted above by introducing a way to
ensure the (probably) wanted solutions (i, ii, iii and iv) can be flexibly
flagged through swapon(8) to allow a sysadmin to select the best suitable
swap discard policy accordingly to system constraints.
This patch introduces SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES and SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_ONCE
new flags to allow more flexibe swap discard policies being flagged
through swapon(8). The default behavior is to keep both single-time, or
batched, area discards (SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_ONCE) and fine-grained discards
for page-clusters (SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES) enabled, in order to keep
consistentcy with older kernel behavior, as well as maintain compatibility
with older swapon(8). However, through the new introduced flags the best
suitable discard policy can be selected accordingly to any given swap
device constraint.

The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free
cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too.
And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end
of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do
search from the end of last free cluster, which is random. For SSD, this
isn't a problem at all.
Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will
reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big
problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality. (And this is the reason
I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

swap: discard while swapping only if SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES
Considering the use cases where the swap device supports discard:
a) and can do it quickly;
b) but it's slow to do in small granularities (or concurrent with other
I/O);
c) but the implementation is so horrendous that you don't even want to
send one down;
And assuming that the sysadmin considers it useful to send the discards down
at all, we would (probably) want the following solutions:
i. do the fine-grained discards for freed swap pages, if device is
capable of doing so optimally;
ii. do single-time (batched) swap area discards, either at swapon
or via something like fstrim (not implemented yet);
iii. allow doing both single-time and fine-grained discards; or
iv. turn it off completely (default behavior)
As implemented today, one can only enable/disable discards for swap, but
one cannot select, for instance, solution (ii) on a swap device like (b)
even though the single-time discard is regarded to be interesting, or
necessary to the workload because it would imply (1), and the device is
not capable of performing it optimally.
This patch addresses the scenario depicted above by introducing a way to
ensure the (probably) wanted solutions (i, ii, iii and iv) can be flexibly
flagged through swapon(8) to allow a sysadmin to select the best suitable
swap discard policy accordingly to system constraints.
This patch introduces SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES and SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_ONCE
new flags to allow more flexibe swap discard policies being flagged
through swapon(8). The default behavior is to keep both single-time, or
batched, area discards (SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_ONCE) and fine-grained discards
for page-clusters (SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES) enabled, in order to keep
consistentcy with older kernel behavior, as well as maintain compatibility
with older swapon(8). However, through the new introduced flags the best
suitable discard policy can be selected accordingly to any given swap
device constraint.

swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD
I'm using a fast SSD to do swap. scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to
20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to
80%), which becomes a bottleneck. scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to
search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow.
Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster. Since we only
care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a
cluster is free. Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter. If
the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free. All free clusters
will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient. With
this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears.
This might help low end SD card swap too. Because if the cluster is
aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently.
We only enable the algorithm for SSD. Hard disk swap isn't fast enough
and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see
below).
The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen. It always adds free
cluster to list tail. This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too.
And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end
of last cluster. So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do

mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks
The patch is to improve the scalability of the swap out/in via using
fine grained locks for the swap cache. In current kernel, one address
space will be used for each swap device. And in the common
configuration, the number of the swap device is very small (one is
typical). This causes the heavy lock contention on the radix tree of
the address space if multiple tasks swap out/in concurrently.
But in fact, there is no dependency between pages in the swap cache. So
that, we can split the one shared address space for each swap device
into several address spaces to reduce the lock contention. In the
patch, the shared address space is split into 64MB trunks. 64MB is
chosen to balance the memory space usage and effect of lock contention
reduction.
The size of struct address_space on x86_64 architecture is 408B, so with
the patch, 6528B more memory will be used for every 1GB swap space on
x86_64 architecture.
One address space is still shared for the swap entries in the same 64M
trunks. To avoid lock contention for the first round of swap space
allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the initial free clusters
list is changed. The swap space distance between the consecutive swap
clusters in the free cluster list is at least 64M. After the first
round of allocation, the swap clusters are expected to be freed
randomly, so the lock contention should be reduced effectively.

mm: fix ever-decreasing swap priority
Vegard Nossum has noticed the ever-decreasing negative priority in a
swapon /swapoff loop, which eventually would misprioritize when int wraps
positive. Not worth spending much code on, but probably better fixed.
It's easy to handle the swapping on and off of just one area, but there's
not much point if a pair or more still misbehave. To handle the general
case, swapoff should compact negative priorities, keeping them always from
-1 to -MAX_SWAPFILES. That's a change, but should cause no regression,
since these negative (unspecified) priorities are disjoint from the the
positive specified priorities 0 to 32767.
One small functional difference, which seems appropriate: when swapoff
fails to free all swap from a negative priority area, that area is now
reinserted at lowest priority, rather than at its original priority.
In moving down swapon's setting of priority, I notice that an area is
visible to /proc/swaps when it has swap_map set, yet that was being set
before all the visible fields were properly filled in: corrected.

isn't a problem at all.
Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will
reduce the chance to find a cluster. I would expect this isn't a big

swap: make cluster allocation per-cpu
swap cluster allocation is to get better request merge to improve
performance. But the cluster is shared globally, if multiple tasks are
doing swap, this will cause interleave disk access. While multiple tasks
swap is quite common, for example, each numa node has a kswapd thread
doing swap and multiple threads/processes doing direct page reclaim.
ioscheduler can't help too much here, because tasks don't send swapout IO
down to block layer in the meantime. Block layer does merge some IOs, but
a lot not, depending on how many tasks are doing swapout concurrently. In
practice, I've seen a lot of small size IO in swapout workloads.
We makes the cluster allocation per-cpu here. The interleave disk access
issue goes away. All tasks swapout to their own cluster, so swapout will
become sequential, which can be easily merged to big size IO. If one CPU
can't get its per-cpu cluster (for example, there is no free cluster
anymore in the swap), it will fallback to scan swap_map. The CPU can
still continue swap. We don't need recycle free swap entries of other
CPUs.
In my test (swap to a 2-disk raid0 partition), this improves around 10%
swapout throughput, and request size is increased significantly.
How does this impact swap readahead is uncertain though. On one side,
page reclaim always isolates and swaps several adjancent pages, this will
make page reclaim write the pages sequentially and benefit readahead. On
the other side, several CPU write pages interleave means the pages don't
live _sequentially_ but relatively _near_. In the per-cpu allocation
case, if adjancent pages are written by different cpus, they will live
relatively _far_. So how this impacts swap readahead depends on how many
pages page reclaim isolates and swaps one time. If the number is big,
this patch will benefit swap readahead. Of course, this is about
sequential access pattern. The patch has no impact for random access
pattern, because the new cluster allocation algorithm is just for SSD.
Alternative solution is organizing swap layout to be per-mm instead of
this per-cpu approach. In the per-mm layout, we allocate a disk range for
each mm, so pages of one mm live in swap disk adjacently. per-mm layout
has potential issues of lock contention if multiple reclaimers are swap
pages from one mm. For a sequential workload, per-mm layout is better to
implement swap readahead, because pages from the mm are adjacent in disk.
But per-cpu layout isn't very bad in this workload, as page reclaim always
isolates and swaps several pages one time, such pages will still live in
disk sequentially and readahead can utilize this. For a random workload,
per-mm layout isn't beneficial of request merge, because it's quite
possible pages from different mm are swapout in the meantime and IO can't
be merged in per-mm layout. while with per-cpu layout we can merge
requests from any mm. Considering random workload is more popular in
workloads with swap (and per-cpu approach isn't too bad for sequential
workload too), I'm choosing per-cpu layout.

[PATCH] swap: swap_lock replace list+device
The idea of a swap_device_lock per device, and a swap_list_lock over them all,
is appealing; but in practice almost every holder of swap_device_lock must
already hold swap_list_lock, which defeats the purpose of the split.
The only exceptions have been swap_duplicate, valid_swaphandles and an
untrodden path in try_to_unuse (plus a few places added in this series).
valid_swaphandles doesn't show up high in profiles, but swap_duplicate does
demand attention. However, with the hold time in get_swap_pages so much
reduced, I've not yet found a load and set of swap device priorities to show
even swap_duplicate benefitting from the split. Certainly the split is mere
overhead in the common case of a single swap device.
So, replace swap_list_lock and swap_device_lock by spinlock_t swap_lock
(generally we seem to prefer an _ in the name, and not hide in a macro).
If someone can show a regression in swap_duplicate, then probably we should
add a hashlock for the swap_map entries alone (shorts being anatomic), so as
to help the case of the single swap device too.

[PATCH] swap: swap_lock replace list+device
The idea of a swap_device_lock per device, and a swap_list_lock over them all,
is appealing; but in practice almost every holder of swap_device_lock must
already hold swap_list_lock, which defeats the purpose of the split.
The only exceptions have been swap_duplicate, valid_swaphandles and an
untrodden path in try_to_unuse (plus a few places added in this series).
valid_swaphandles doesn't show up high in profiles, but swap_duplicate does
demand attention. However, with the hold time in get_swap_pages so much
reduced, I've not yet found a load and set of swap device priorities to show
even swap_duplicate benefitting from the split. Certainly the split is mere
overhead in the common case of a single swap device.
So, replace swap_list_lock and swap_device_lock by spinlock_t swap_lock
(generally we seem to prefer an _ in the name, and not hide in a macro).
If someone can show a regression in swap_duplicate, then probably we should
add a hashlock for the swap_map entries alone (shorts being anatomic), so as
to help the case of the single swap device too.

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile
swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even
slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes
from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new
per-partition lock.
Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and
swap_list are still protected by swap_lock.
nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In
theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually
there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem.
Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only
protected by swap_info_struct.lock.
Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and
swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the
flags is ok with either the locks hold.
If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold
the former first to avoid deadlock.
swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a
new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we
check it. If it's valid, we use it.
It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice,
swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can
say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And
BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free
swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the
lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly
recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me.
But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem.
"swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the
swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the
speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test,
so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

swap_info: swap count continuations
Swap is duplicated (reference count incremented by one) whenever the same
swap page is inserted into another mm (when forking finds a swap entry in
place of a pte, or when reclaim unmaps a pte to insert the swap entry).
swap_info_struct's vmalloc'ed swap_map is the array of these reference
counts: but what happens when the unsigned short (or unsigned char since
the preceding patch) is full? (and its high bit is kept for a cache flag)
We then lose track of it, never freeing, leaving it in use until swapoff:
at which point we _hope_ that a single pass will have found all instances,
assume there are no more, and will lose user data if we're wrong.
Swapping of KSM pages has not yet been enabled; but it is implemented,
and makes it very easy for a user to overflow the maximum swap count:
possible with ordinary process pages, but unlikely, even when pid_max
has been raised from PID_MAX_DEFAULT.
This patch implements swap count continuations: when the count overflows,
a continuation page is allocated and linked to the original vmalloc'ed
map page, and this used to hold the continuation counts for that entry
and its neighbours. These continuation pages are seldom referenced:
the common paths all work on the original swap_map, only referring to
a continuation page when the low "digit" of a count is incremented or
decremented through SWAP_MAP_MAX.

mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

[PATCH] Swapless page migration: add R/W migration entries
Implement read/write migration ptes
We take the upper two swapfiles for the two types of migration ptes and define
a series of macros in swapops.h.
The VM is modified to handle the migration entries. migration entries can
only be encountered when the page they are pointing to is locked. This limits
the number of places one has to fix. We also check in copy_pte_range and in
mprotect_pte_range() for migration ptes.
We check for migration ptes in do_swap_cache and call a function that will
then wait on the page lock. This allows us to effectively stop all accesses
to apge.
Migration entries are created by try_to_unmap if called for migration and
removed by local functions in migrate.c
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
Several times while testing swapless page migration (I've no NUMA, just
hacking it up to migrate recklessly while running load), I've hit the
BUG_ON(!PageLocked(p)) in migration_entry_to_page.
This comes from an orphaned migration entry, unrelated to the current
correctly locked migration, but hit by remove_anon_migration_ptes as it
checks an address in each vma of the anon_vma list.
Such an orphan may be left behind if an earlier migration raced with fork:
copy_one_pte can duplicate a migration entry from parent to child, after
remove_anon_migration_ptes has checked the child vma, but before it has
removed it from the parent vma. (If the process were later to fault on this
orphaned entry, it would hit the same BUG from migration_entry_wait.)
This could be fixed by locking anon_vma in copy_one_pte, but we'd rather
not. There's no such problem with file pages, because vma_prio_tree_add
adds child vma after parent vma, and the page table locking at each end is
enough to serialize. Follow that example with anon_vma: add new vmas to the
tail instead of the head.
(There's no corresponding problem when inserting migration entries,
because a missed pte will leave the page count and mapcount high, which is
allowed for. And there's no corresponding problem when migrating via swap,
because a leftover swap entry will be correctly faulted. But the swapless
method has no refcounting of its entries.)
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
pte_unmap_unlock() takes the pte pointer as an argument.
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
Several times while testing swapless page migration, gcc has tried to exec
a pointer instead of a string: smells like COW mappings are not being
properly write-protected on fork.
The protection in copy_one_pte looks very convincing, until at last you
realize that the second arg to make_migration_entry is a boolean "write",
and SWP_MIGRATION_READ is 30.
Anyway, it's better done like in change_pte_range, using
is_write_migration_entry and make_migration_entry_read.
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
Remove unnecessary obfuscation from sys_swapon's range check on swap type,
which blew up causing memory corruption once swapless migration made
MAX_SWAPFILES no longer 2 ^ MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT.

swap: fix races exposed by swap discard
The previous patch can expose races, according to Hugh:
swapoff was sometimes failing with "Cannot allocate memory", coming from
try_to_unuse()'s -ENOMEM: it needs to allow for swap_duplicate() failing
on a free entry temporarily SWAP_MAP_BAD while being discarded.
We should use ACCESS_ONCE() there, and whenever accessing swap_map
locklessly; but rather than peppering it throughout try_to_unuse(), just
declare *swap_map with volatile.
try_to_unuse() is accustomed to *swap_map going down racily, but not
necessarily to it jumping up from 0 to SWAP_MAP_BAD: we'll be safer to
prevent that transition once SWP_WRITEOK is switched off, when it's a
waste of time to issue discards anyway (swapon can do a whole discard).
Another issue is:
In swapin_readahead(), read_swap_cache_async() can read a bad swap entry,
because we don't check if readahead swap entry is bad. This doesn't break
anything but such swapin page is wasteful and can only be freed at page
reclaim. We should avoid read such swap entry. And in discard, we mark
swap entry SWAP_MAP_BAD and then switch it to normal when discard is
finished. If readahead reads such swap entry, we have the same issue, so
we much check if swap entry is bad too.
Thanks Hugh to inspire swapin_readahead could use bad swap entry.

swap_info: swap count continuations
Swap is duplicated (reference count incremented by one) whenever the same
swap page is inserted into another mm (when forking finds a swap entry in
place of a pte, or when reclaim unmaps a pte to insert the swap entry).
swap_info_struct's vmalloc'ed swap_map is the array of these reference
counts: but what happens when the unsigned short (or unsigned char since
the preceding patch) is full? (and its high bit is kept for a cache flag)
We then lose track of it, never freeing, leaving it in use until swapoff:
at which point we _hope_ that a single pass will have found all instances,
assume there are no more, and will lose user data if we're wrong.
Swapping of KSM pages has not yet been enabled; but it is implemented,
and makes it very easy for a user to overflow the maximum swap count:
possible with ordinary process pages, but unlikely, even when pid_max
has been raised from PID_MAX_DEFAULT.
This patch implements swap count continuations: when the count overflows,
a continuation page is allocated and linked to the original vmalloc'ed
map page, and this used to hold the continuation counts for that entry
and its neighbours. These continuation pages are seldom referenced:
the common paths all work on the original swap_map, only referring to
a continuation page when the low "digit" of a count is incremented or
decremented through SWAP_MAP_MAX.

mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for

Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

swap_info: swap count continuations
Swap is duplicated (reference count incremented by one) whenever the same
swap page is inserted into another mm (when forking finds a swap entry in
place of a pte, or when reclaim unmaps a pte to insert the swap entry).
swap_info_struct's vmalloc'ed swap_map is the array of these reference
counts: but what happens when the unsigned short (or unsigned char since
the preceding patch) is full? (and its high bit is kept for a cache flag)
We then lose track of it, never freeing, leaving it in use until swapoff:
at which point we _hope_ that a single pass will have found all instances,
assume there are no more, and will lose user data if we're wrong.
Swapping of KSM pages has not yet been enabled; but it is implemented,
and makes it very easy for a user to overflow the maximum swap count:
possible with ordinary process pages, but unlikely, even when pid_max
has been raised from PID_MAX_DEFAULT.
This patch implements swap count continuations: when the count overflows,
a continuation page is allocated and linked to the original vmalloc'ed
map page, and this used to hold the continuation counts for that entry
and its neighbours. These continuation pages are seldom referenced:
the common paths all work on the original swap_map, only referring to
a continuation page when the low "digit" of a count is incremented or
decremented through SWAP_MAP_MAX.

mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the

that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile
swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even
slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes
from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new
per-partition lock.
Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and
swap_list are still protected by swap_lock.
nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In
theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually
there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem.
Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only
protected by swap_info_struct.lock.
Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and
swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the
flags is ok with either the locks hold.
If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold
the former first to avoid deadlock.
swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a
new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we
check it. If it's valid, we use it.
It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice,
swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can
say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And
BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free
swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the
lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly
recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me.
But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem.
"swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the
swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the
speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test,
so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

mm, swap: fix race between swap count continuation operations
One page may store a set of entries of the sis->swap_map
(swap_info_struct->swap_map) in multiple swap clusters.
If some of the entries has sis->swap_map[offset] > SWAP_MAP_MAX,
multiple pages will be used to store the set of entries of the
sis->swap_map. And the pages are linked with page->lru. This is called
swap count continuation. To access the pages which store the set of
entries of the sis->swap_map simultaneously, previously, sis->lock is
used. But to improve the scalability of __swap_duplicate(), swap
cluster lock may be used in swap_count_continued() now. This may race
with add_swap_count_continuation() which operates on a nearby swap
cluster, in which the sis->swap_map entries are stored in the same page.
The race can cause wrong swap count in practice, thus cause unfreeable
swap entries or software lockup, etc.
To fix the race, a new spin lock called cont_lock is added to struct
swap_info_struct to protect the swap count continuation page list. This
is a lock at the swap device level, so the scalability isn't very well.
But it is still much better than the original sis->lock, because it is
only acquired/released when swap count continuation is used. Which is
considered rare in practice. If it turns out that the scalability
becomes an issue for some workloads, we can split the lock into some
more fine grained locks.

mm, swap: fix race between swap count continuation operations
One page may store a set of entries of the sis->swap_map
(swap_info_struct->swap_map) in multiple swap clusters.
If some of the entries has sis->swap_map[offset] > SWAP_MAP_MAX,
multiple pages will be used to store the set of entries of the
sis->swap_map. And the pages are linked with page->lru. This is called
swap count continuation. To access the pages which store the set of
entries of the sis->swap_map simultaneously, previously, sis->lock is
used. But to improve the scalability of __swap_duplicate(), swap
cluster lock may be used in swap_count_continued() now. This may race
with add_swap_count_continuation() which operates on a nearby swap
cluster, in which the sis->swap_map entries are stored in the same page.
The race can cause wrong swap count in practice, thus cause unfreeable
swap entries or software lockup, etc.
To fix the race, a new spin lock called cont_lock is added to struct
swap_info_struct to protect the swap count continuation page list. This
is a lock at the swap device level, so the scalability isn't very well.
But it is still much better than the original sis->lock, because it is
only acquired/released when swap count continuation is used. Which is
considered rare in practice. If it turns out that the scalability
becomes an issue for some workloads, we can split the lock into some
more fine grained locks.

swap_info: swap count continuations
Swap is duplicated (reference count incremented by one) whenever the same
swap page is inserted into another mm (when forking finds a swap entry in
place of a pte, or when reclaim unmaps a pte to insert the swap entry).
swap_info_struct's vmalloc'ed swap_map is the array of these reference
counts: but what happens when the unsigned short (or unsigned char since
the preceding patch) is full? (and its high bit is kept for a cache flag)
We then lose track of it, never freeing, leaving it in use until swapoff:
at which point we _hope_ that a single pass will have found all instances,
assume there are no more, and will lose user data if we're wrong.
Swapping of KSM pages has not yet been enabled; but it is implemented,
and makes it very easy for a user to overflow the maximum swap count:
possible with ordinary process pages, but unlikely, even when pid_max
has been raised from PID_MAX_DEFAULT.
This patch implements swap count continuations: when the count overflows,

mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile
swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even
slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes
from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new
per-partition lock.
Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and
swap_list are still protected by swap_lock.
nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In
theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually
there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem.
Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only
protected by swap_info_struct.lock.
Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and
swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the
flags is ok with either the locks hold.
If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold
the former first to avoid deadlock.
swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a
new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we
check it. If it's valid, we use it.
It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice,
swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can
say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And
BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free
swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the
lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly
recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me.
But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem.
"swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the
swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the
speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test,
so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations. swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously. Because there is only one lock
for each swap device. While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system. The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.
In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array. And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map. So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.
In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info. This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.
Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system. This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.
Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info. To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed. So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible. After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random. So the
false sharing should be not serious.
Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%. Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

swap_info: swap count continuations
Swap is duplicated (reference count incremented by one) whenever the same
swap page is inserted into another mm (when forking finds a swap entry in
place of a pte, or when reclaim unmaps a pte to insert the swap entry).
swap_info_struct's vmalloc'ed swap_map is the array of these reference
counts: but what happens when the unsigned short (or unsigned char since
the preceding patch) is full? (and its high bit is kept for a cache flag)
We then lose track of it, never freeing, leaving it in use until swapoff:
at which point we _hope_ that a single pass will have found all instances,
assume there are no more, and will lose user data if we're wrong.
Swapping of KSM pages has not yet been enabled; but it is implemented,
and makes it very easy for a user to overflow the maximum swap count:
possible with ordinary process pages, but unlikely, even when pid_max
has been raised from PID_MAX_DEFAULT.
This patch implements swap count continuations: when the count overflows,
a continuation page is allocated and linked to the original vmalloc'ed
map page, and this used to hold the continuation counts for that entry
and its neighbours. These continuation pages are seldom referenced:
the common paths all work on the original swap_map, only referring to
a continuation page when the low "digit" of a count is incremented or
decremented through SWAP_MAP_MAX.

mm, swap: fix race between swap count continuation operations
One page may store a set of entries of the sis->swap_map
(swap_info_struct->swap_map) in multiple swap clusters.
If some of the entries has sis->swap_map[offset] > SWAP_MAP_MAX,
multiple pages will be used to store the set of entries of the
sis->swap_map. And the pages are linked with page->lru. This is called
swap count continuation. To access the pages which store the set of
entries of the sis->swap_map simultaneously, previously, sis->lock is
used. But to improve the scalability of __swap_duplicate(), swap
cluster lock may be used in swap_count_continued() now. This may race
with add_swap_count_continuation() which operates on a nearby swap
cluster, in which the sis->swap_map entries are stored in the same page.
The race can cause wrong swap count in practice, thus cause unfreeable
swap entries or software lockup, etc.
To fix the race, a new spin lock called cont_lock is added to struct
swap_info_struct to protect the swap count continuation page list. This
is a lock at the swap device level, so the scalability isn't very well.
But it is still much better than the original sis->lock, because it is
only acquired/released when swap count continuation is used. Which is
considered rare in practice. If it turns out that the scalability
becomes an issue for some workloads, we can split the lock into some
more fine grained locks.

mm, swap: fix race between swap count continuation operations
One page may store a set of entries of the sis->swap_map
(swap_info_struct->swap_map) in multiple swap clusters.
If some of the entries has sis->swap_map[offset] > SWAP_MAP_MAX,
multiple pages will be used to store the set of entries of the
sis->swap_map. And the pages are linked with page->lru. This is called
swap count continuation. To access the pages which store the set of
entries of the sis->swap_map simultaneously, previously, sis->lock is
used. But to improve the scalability of __swap_duplicate(), swap
cluster lock may be used in swap_count_continued() now. This may race
with add_swap_count_continuation() which operates on a nearby swap
cluster, in which the sis->swap_map entries are stored in the same page.
The race can cause wrong swap count in practice, thus cause unfreeable
swap entries or software lockup, etc.
To fix the race, a new spin lock called cont_lock is added to struct
swap_info_struct to protect the swap count continuation page list. This
is a lock at the swap device level, so the scalability isn't very well.
But it is still much better than the original sis->lock, because it is
only acquired/released when swap count continuation is used. Which is
considered rare in practice. If it turns out that the scalability
becomes an issue for some workloads, we can split the lock into some
more fine grained locks.

swap page is inserted into another mm (when forking finds a swap entry in
place of a pte, or when reclaim unmaps a pte to insert the swap entry).
swap_info_struct's vmalloc'ed swap_map is the array of these reference
counts: but what happens when the unsigned short (or unsigned char since
the preceding patch) is full? (and its high bit is kept for a cache flag)
We then lose track of it, never freeing, leaving it in use until swapoff:
at which point we _hope_ that a single pass will have found all instances,
assume there are no more, and will lose user data if we're wrong.
Swapping of KSM pages has not yet been enabled; but it is implemented,
and makes it very easy for a user to overflow the maximum swap count:
possible with ordinary process pages, but unlikely, even when pid_max
has been raised from PID_MAX_DEFAULT.
This patch implements swap count continuations: when the count overflows,
a continuation page is allocated and linked to the original vmalloc'ed
map page, and this used to hold the continuation counts for that entry
and its neighbours. These continuation pages are seldom referenced:
the common paths all work on the original swap_map, only referring to
a continuation page when the low "digit" of a count is incremented or
decremented through SWAP_MAP_MAX.

mm, swap: fix race between swap count continuation operations
One page may store a set of entries of the sis->swap_map
(swap_info_struct->swap_map) in multiple swap clusters.
If some of the entries has sis->swap_map[offset] > SWAP_MAP_MAX,
multiple pages will be used to store the set of entries of the
sis->swap_map. And the pages are linked with page->lru. This is called
swap count continuation. To access the pages which store the set of
entries of the sis->swap_map simultaneously, previously, sis->lock is
used. But to improve the scalability of __swap_duplicate(), swap
cluster lock may be used in swap_count_continued() now. This may race
with add_swap_count_continuation() which operates on a nearby swap
cluster, in which the sis->swap_map entries are stored in the same page.
The race can cause wrong swap count in practice, thus cause unfreeable
swap entries or software lockup, etc.
To fix the race, a new spin lock called cont_lock is added to struct
swap_info_struct to protect the swap count continuation page list. This
is a lock at the swap device level, so the scalability isn't very well.
But it is still much better than the original sis->lock, because it is
only acquired/released when swap count continuation is used. Which is
considered rare in practice. If it turns out that the scalability
becomes an issue for some workloads, we can split the lock into some
more fine grained locks.

swap_info: swap count continuations
Swap is duplicated (reference count incremented by one) whenever the same
swap page is inserted into another mm (when forking finds a swap entry in
place of a pte, or when reclaim unmaps a pte to insert the swap entry).
swap_info_struct's vmalloc'ed swap_map is the array of these reference
counts: but what happens when the unsigned short (or unsigned char since
the preceding patch) is full? (and its high bit is kept for a cache flag)
We then lose track of it, never freeing, leaving it in use until swapoff:
at which point we _hope_ that a single pass will have found all instances,
assume there are no more, and will lose user data if we're wrong.
Swapping of KSM pages has not yet been enabled; but it is implemented,
and makes it very easy for a user to overflow the maximum swap count:
possible with ordinary process pages, but unlikely, even when pid_max
has been raised from PID_MAX_DEFAULT.
This patch implements swap count continuations: when the count overflows,
a continuation page is allocated and linked to the original vmalloc'ed
map page, and this used to hold the continuation counts for that entry
and its neighbours. These continuation pages are seldom referenced:
the common paths all work on the original swap_map, only referring to
a continuation page when the low "digit" of a count is incremented or
decremented through SWAP_MAP_MAX.

swap: choose swap device according to numa node
If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node
information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap
device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance.
The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide
which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same
priority, they are used round robin. This patch changes the previous
single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e. for each
numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap
devices. Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's
swap_avail_list.
The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value,
or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards. The
priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap
device's due to plist being sorted from low to high. The new policy
doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous
starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then
downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value.
Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are
available, each sit on a different node:
swapA on node 0
swapB on node 1
swapC on node 2
swapD on node 3
After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD.
Current behaviour:
their priorities will be:
swapA: -1
swapB: -2
swapC: -3
swapD: -4
And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be:
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
New behaviour:
their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped):
swapA: -2
swapB: -3
swapC: -4
swapD: -5
And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be:
swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */
swapA -> swapB -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:3 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */
swapB -> swapA -> swapC -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:4 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */
swapC -> swapA -> swapB -> swapD
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:5
swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */
swapD -> swapA -> swapB -> swapC
prio:1 prio:2 prio:3 prio:4
To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap
a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random
position to trigger both swap in and out is used.
On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives
are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the
result is:
runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G
kernel throughput
vanilla 13306
auto-binding 15169 +14%
runtime=30m/processes=64/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=2G
kernel throughput
vanilla 11885
auto-binding 14879 +25%
