clang produces a build failure on x86 for some randconfig builds after a
change that moves around code to mm/mm_init.c:
Cannot find symbol for section 2: .text.
mm/mm_init.o: failed
I have not been able to figure out why this happens, but the __weak
annotation on arch_has_descending_max_zone_pfns() is the trigger here.
Removing the weak function in favor of an open-coded Kconfig option check
avoids the problem and becomes clearer as well as better to optimize by
the compiler.

Similarly to kmsan_vmap_pages_range_noflush(), kmsan_ioremap_page_range()
must also properly handle allocation/mapping failures. In the case of
such, it must clean up the already created metadata mappings and return an
error code, so that the error can be propagated to ioremap_page_range().
Without doing so, KMSAN may silently fail to bring the metadata for the
page range into a consistent state, which will result in user-visible
crashes when trying to access them.

As reported by Dipanjan Das, when KMSAN is used together with kernel fault
injection (or, generally, even without the latter), calls to kcalloc() or
__vmap_pages_range_noflush() may fail, leaving the metadata mappings for
the virtual mapping in an inconsistent state. When these metadata
mappings are accessed later, the kernel crashes.
To address the problem, we return a non-zero error code from
kmsan_vmap_pages_range_noflush() in the case of any allocation/mapping
failure inside it, and make vmap_pages_range_noflush() return an error if
KMSAN fails to allocate the metadata.
This patch also removes KMSAN_WARN_ON() from vmap_pages_range_noflush(),
as these allocation failures are not fatal anymore.

This helps to ensure that only recently accessed PIDs scan the VMAs.
Current implementation: (idea supported by PeterZ)
1. Accessing PID information is maintained in two windows.
access_pids[1] being newest.
2. Reset old access PID info i.e. access_pid[0] every (4 *
sysctl_numa_balancing_scan_delay) interval after initial scan delay
period expires.
The above interval seemed to be experimentally optimum since it avoids
frequent reset of access info as well as helps clearing the old access
info regularly. The reset logic is implemented in scan path.

During Numa scanning make sure only relevant vmas of the tasks are
scanned.
Before:
All the tasks of a process participate in scanning the vma even if they
do not access vma in it's lifespan.
Now:
Except cases of first few unconditional scans, if a process do
not touch vma (exluding false positive cases of PID collisions)
tasks no longer scan all vma
Logic used:
1) 6 bits of PID used to mark active bit in vma numab status during
fault to remember PIDs accessing vma. (Thanks Mel)
2) Subsequently in scan path, vma scanning is skipped if current PID
had not accessed vma.
3) First two times we do allow unconditional scan to preserve earlier
behaviour of scanning.

Pach series "sched/numa: Enhance vma scanning", v3.
The patchset proposes one of the enhancements to numa vma scanning
suggested by Mel. This is continuation of [3].
Reposting the rebased patchset to akpm mm-unstable tree (March 1)
Existing mechanism of scan period involves, scan period derived from
per-thread stats. Process Adaptive autoNUMA [1] proposed to gather NUMA
fault stats at per-process level to capture aplication behaviour better.
During that course of discussion, Mel proposed several ideas to enhance
current numa balancing. One of the suggestion was below
Track what threads access a VMA. The suggestion was to use an unsigned
long pid_mask and use the lower bits to tag approximately what threads
access a VMA. Skip VMAs that did not trap a fault. This would be
approximate because of PID collisions but would reduce scanning of areas
the thread is not interested in. The above suggestion intends not to
penalize threads that has no interest in the vma, thus reduce scanning
overhead.
V3 changes are mostly based on PeterZ comments (details below in changes)
Summary of patchset:
Current patchset implements:
1. Delay the vma scanning logic for newly created VMA's so that
additional overhead of scanning is not incurred for short lived tasks
(implementation by Mel)
2. Store the information of tasks accessing VMA in 2 windows. It is
regularly cleared in (4*sysctl_numa_balancing_scan_delay) interval.
The above time is derived from experimenting (Suggested by PeterZ) to
balance between frequent clearing vs obsolete access data
3. hash_32 used to encode task index accessing VMA information
4. VMA's acess information is used to skip scanning for the tasks
which had not accessed VMA
Changes since V2:
patch1:
- Renaming of structure, macro to function,
- Add explanation to heuristics
- Adding more details from result (PeterZ)
Patch2:
- Usage of test and set bit (PeterZ)
- Move storing access PID info to numa_migrate_prep()
- Add a note on fainess among tasks allowed to scan
(PeterZ)
Patch3:
- Maintain two windows of access PID information
(PeterZ supported implementation and Gave idea to extend
to N if needed)
Patch4:
- Apply hash_32 function to track VMA accessing PIDs (PeterZ)
Changes since RFC V1:
- Include Mel's vma scan delay patch
- Change the accessing pid store logic (Thanks Mel)
- Fencing structure / code to NUMA_BALANCING (David, Mel)
- Adding clearing access PID logic (Mel)
- Descriptive change log ( Mike Rapoport)
Things to ponder over:
==========================================
- Improvement to clearing accessing PIDs logic (discussed in-detail in
patch3 itself (Done in this patchset by implementing 2 window history)
- Current scan period is not changed in the patchset, so we do see
frequent tries to scan. Relaxing scan period dynamically could improve
results further.

vma->lock being part of the vm_area_struct causes performance regression
during page faults because during contention its count and owner fields
are constantly updated and having other parts of vm_area_struct used
during page fault handling next to them causes constant cache line
bouncing. Fix that by moving the lock outside of the vm_area_struct.
All attempts to keep vma->lock inside vm_area_struct in a separate cache
line still produce performance regression especially on NUMA machines.
Smallest regression was achieved when lock is placed in the fourth cache
line but that bloats vm_area_struct to 256 bytes.
Considering performance and memory impact, separate lock looks like the
best option. It increases memory footprint of each VMA but that can be
optimized later if the new size causes issues. Note that after this
change vma_init() does not allocate or initialize vma->lock anymore. A
number of drivers allocate a pseudo VMA on the stack but they never use
the VMA's lock, therefore it does not need to be allocated. The future
drivers which might need the VMA lock should use
vm_area_alloc()/vm_area_free() to allocate the VMA.

call_rcu() can take a long time when callback offloading is enabled. Its
use in the vm_area_free can cause regressions in the exit path when
multiple VMAs are being freed.
Because exit_mmap() is called only after the last mm user drops its
refcount, the page fault handlers can't be racing with it. Any other
possible user like oom-reaper or process_mrelease are already synchronized
using mmap_lock. Therefore exit_mmap() can free VMAs directly, without
the use of call_rcu().
Expose __vm_area_free() and use it from exit_mmap() to avoid possible
call_rcu() floods and performance regressions caused by it.

Introduce lock_vma_under_rcu function to lookup and lock a VMA during page
fault handling. When VMA is not found, can't be locked or changes after
being locked, the function returns NULL. The lookup is performed under
RCU protection to prevent the found VMA from being destroyed before the
VMA lock is acquired. VMA lock statistics are updated according to the
results. For now only anonymous VMAs can be searched this way. In other
cases the function returns NULL.

Protect VMA from concurrent page fault handler while collapsing a huge
page. Page fault handler needs a stable PMD to use PTL and relies on
per-VMA lock to prevent concurrent PMD changes. pmdp_collapse_flush(),
set_huge_pmd() and collapse_and_free_pmd() can modify a PMD, which will
not be detected by a page fault handler without proper locking.
Before this patch, page tables can be walked under any one of the
mmap_lock, the mapping lock, and the anon_vma lock; so when khugepaged
unlinks and frees page tables, it must ensure that all of those either are
locked or don't exist. This patch adds a fourth lock under which page
tables can be traversed, and so khugepaged must also lock out that one.

Introduce per-VMA locking. The lock implementation relies on a per-vma
and per-mm sequence counters to note exclusive locking:
- read lock - (implemented by vma_start_read) requires the vma
(vm_lock_seq) and mm (mm_lock_seq) sequence counters to differ.
If they match then there must be a vma exclusive lock held somewhere.
- read unlock - (implemented by vma_end_read) is a trivial vma->lock
unlock.
- write lock - (vma_start_write) requires the mmap_lock to be held
exclusively and the current mm counter is assigned to the vma counter.
This will allow multiple vmas to be locked under a single mmap_lock
write lock (e.g. during vma merging). The vma counter is modified
under exclusive vma lock.
- write unlock - (vma_end_write_all) is a batch release of all vma
locks held. It doesn't pair with a specific vma_start_write! It is
done before exclusive mmap_lock is released by incrementing mm
sequence counter (mm_lock_seq).
- write downgrade - if the mmap_lock is downgraded to the read lock, all
vma write locks are released as well (effectivelly same as write
unlock).

Having previously laid the foundation for converting vread() to an
iterator function, pull the trigger and do so.
This patch attempts to provide minimal refactoring and to reflect the
existing logic as best we can, for example we continue to zero portions of
memory not read, as before.
Overall, there should be no functional difference other than a performance
improvement in /proc/kcore access to vmalloc regions.
Now we have eliminated the need for a bounce buffer in read_kcore_iter(),
we dispense with it, and try to write to user memory optimistically but
with faults disabled via copy_page_to_iter_nofault(). We already have
preemption disabled by holding a spin lock. We continue faulting in until
the operation is complete.
Additionally, we must account for the fact that at any point a copy may
fail (most likely due to a fault not being able to occur), we exit
indicating fewer bytes retrieved than expected.

Provide a means to copy a page to user space from an iterator, aborting if
a page fault would occur. This supports compound pages, but may be passed
a tail page with an offset extending further into the compound page, so we
cannot pass a folio.
This allows for this function to be called from atomic context and _try_
to user pages if they are faulted in, aborting if not.
The function does not use _copy_to_iter() in order to not specify
might_fault(), this is similar to copy_page_from_iter_atomic().
This is being added in order that an iteratable form of vread() can be
implemented while holding spinlocks.

Patch series "Remove drm/ttm-specific mm changes".
Functionality was added specifically for the DRM TTM driver to support
mapping memory for VM_MIXEDMAP VMAs with customised protection flags,
however this has now been rolled back as issues were found with this
approach.
This series removes the mm changes too, retaining some of the useful
comments.
This patch (of 3):
The sole user of vmf_insert_mixed_prot(), the drm ttm module, stopped
using this in commit f91142c621 ("drm/ttm: nuke VM_MIXEDMAP on BO
mappings v3") citing use of VM_MIXEDMAP in this case being terribly
broken.
Remove this now-dead code and references to it, but retain the useful
description of the prot != vma->vm_page_prot case, moving it to
vmf_insert_pfn_prot() instead.

Currently the memtest results were only presented in dmesg.
When running a large fleet of devices without ECC RAM it's currently not
easy to do bulk monitoring for memory corruption. You have to parse
dmesg, but that's a ring buffer so the error might disappear after some
time. In general I do not consider dmesg to be a great API to query RAM
status.
In several companies I've seen such errors remain undetected and cause
issues for way too long. So I think it makes sense to provide a
monitoring API, so that we can safely detect and act upon them.
This adds /proc/meminfo entry which can be easily used by scripts.

UFFDIO_COPY already has UFFDIO_COPY_MODE_WP, so when installing a new PTE
to resolve a missing fault, one can install a write-protected one. This
is useful when using UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_{MISSING,WP} in combination.
This was motivated by testing HugeTLB HGM [1], and in particular its
interaction with userfaultfd features. Existing userfaultfd code supports
using WP and MINOR modes together (i.e. you can register an area with
both enabled), but without this CONTINUE flag the combination is in
practice unusable.
So, add an analogous UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP, which does the same thing as
UFFDIO_COPY_MODE_WP, but for *minor* faults.
Update the selftest to do some very basic exercising of the new flag.
Update Documentation/ to describe how these flags are used (neither the
COPY nor the new CONTINUE versions of this mode flag were described there
before).

Many userfaultfd ioctl functions take both a 'mode' and a 'wp_copy'
argument. In future commits we plan to plumb the flags through to more
places, so we'd be proliferating the very long argument list even further.
Let's take the time to simplify the argument list. Combine the two
arguments into one - and generalize, so when we add more flags in the
future, it doesn't imply more function arguments.
Since the modes (copy, zeropage, continue) are mutually exclusive, store
them as an integer value (0, 1, 2) in the low bits. Place combine-able
flag bits in the high bits.
This is quite similar to an earlier patch proposed by Nadav Amit
("userfaultfd: introduce uffd_flags" [1]). The main difference is that
patch only handled flags, whereas this patch *also* combines the "mode"
argument into the same type to shorten the argument list.

Quite a few userfaultfd functions took both mm and vma pointers as
arguments. Since the mm is trivially accessible via vma->vm_mm, there's
no reason to pass both; it just needlessly extends the already long
argument list.
Get rid of the mm pointer, where possible, to shorten the argument list.

Patch series "mm: userfaultfd: refactor and add UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP",
v5.
- Commits 1-3 refactor userfaultfd ioctl code without behavior changes, with the
main goal of improving consistency and reducing the number of function args.
- Commit 4 adds UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP.
This patch (of 4):
The basic problem is, over time we've added new userfaultfd ioctls, and
we've refactored the code so functions which used to handle only one case
are now re-used to deal with several cases. While this happened, we
didn't bother to rename the functions.
Similarly, as we added new functions, we cargo-culted pieces of the
now-inconsistent naming scheme, so those functions too ended up with names
that don't make a lot of sense.
A key point here is, "copy" in most userfaultfd code refers specifically
to UFFDIO_COPY, where we allocate a new page and copy its contents from
userspace. There are many functions with "copy" in the name that don't
actually do this (at least in some cases).
So, rename things into a consistent scheme. The high level idea is that
the call stack for userfaultfd ioctls becomes:
userfaultfd_ioctl
-> userfaultfd_(particular ioctl)
-> mfill_atomic_(particular kind of fill operation)
-> mfill_atomic /* loops over pages in range */
-> mfill_atomic_pte /* deals with single pages */
-> mfill_atomic_pte_(particular kind of fill operation)
-> mfill_atomic_install_pte
There are of course some special cases (shmem, hugetlb), but this is the
general structure which all function names now adhere to.

Patch series "mm/uffd: Add feature bit UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED", v4.
The new feature bit makes anonymous memory acts the same as file memory on
userfaultfd-wp in that it'll also wr-protect none ptes.
It can be useful in two cases:
(1) Uffd-wp app that needs to wr-protect none ptes like QEMU snapshot,
so pre-fault can be replaced by enabling this flag and speed up
protections
(2) It helps to implement async uffd-wp mode that Muhammad is working on [1]
It's debatable whether this is the most ideal solution because with the
new feature bit set, wr-protect none pte needs to pre-populate the
pgtables to the last level (PAGE_SIZE). But it seems fine so far to
service either purpose above, so we can leave optimizations for later.
The series brings pte markers to anonymous memory too. There's some
change in the common mm code path in the 1st patch, great to have some eye
looking at it, but hopefully they're still relatively straightforward.
This patch (of 2):
This is a new feature that controls how uffd-wp handles none ptes. When
it's set, the kernel will handle anonymous memory the same way as file
memory, by allowing the user to wr-protect unpopulated ptes.
File memories handles none ptes consistently by allowing wr-protecting of
none ptes because of the unawareness of page cache being exist or not.
For anonymous it was not as persistent because we used to assume that we
don't need protections on none ptes or known zero pages.
One use case of such a feature bit was VM live snapshot, where if without
wr-protecting empty ptes the snapshot can contain random rubbish in the
holes of the anonymous memory, which can cause misbehave of the guest when
the guest OS assumes the pages should be all zeros.
QEMU worked it around by pre-populate the section with reads to fill in
zero page entries before starting the whole snapshot process [1].
Recently there's another need raised on using userfaultfd wr-protect for
detecting dirty pages (to replace soft-dirty in some cases) [2]. In that
case if without being able to wr-protect none ptes by default, the dirty
info can get lost, since we cannot treat every none pte to be dirty (the
current design is identify a page dirty based on uffd-wp bit being
cleared).
In general, we want to be able to wr-protect empty ptes too even for
anonymous.
This patch implements UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED so that it'll make
uffd-wp handling on none ptes being consistent no matter what the memory
type is underneath. It doesn't have any impact on file memories so far
because we already have pte markers taking care of that. So it only
affects anonymous.
The feature bit is by default off, so the old behavior will be maintained.
Sometimes it may be wanted because the wr-protect of none ptes will
contain overheads not only during UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT (by applying pte
markers to anonymous), but also on creating the pgtables to store the pte
markers. So there's potentially less chance of using thp on the first
fault for a none pmd or larger than a pmd.
The major implementation part is teaching the whole kernel to understand
pte markers even for anonymously mapped ranges, meanwhile allowing the
UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT ioctl to apply pte markers for anonymous too when the
new feature bit is set.
Note that even if the patch subject starts with mm/uffd, there're a few
small refactors to major mm path of handling anonymous page faults. But
they should be straightforward.
With WP_UNPOPUATED, application like QEMU can avoid pre-read faults all
the memory before wr-protect during taking a live snapshot. Quotting from
Muhammad's test result here [3] based on a simple program [4]:
(1) With huge page disabled

There'll be a great perf boost for no-thp case, while for thp enabled with
extreme case of all-thp-zero WP_UNPOPULATED can be slower than MADVISE,
but that's low possibility in reality, also the overhead was not reduced
but postponed until a follow up write on any huge zero thp, so potentially
it is faster by making the follow up writes slower.

Instead of returning NULL for all errors, distinguish between:
- no entry found and not asked to allocated (-ENOENT)
- failed to allocate memory (-ENOMEM)
- would block (-EAGAIN)
so that callers don't have to guess the error based on the passed in
flags.
Also pass through the error through the direct callers: filemap_get_folio,
filemap_lock_folio filemap_grab_folio and filemap_get_incore_folio.

Use the maple tree in RCU mode for VMA tracking.
The maple tree tracks the stack and is able to update the pivot
(lower/upper boundary) in-place to allow the page fault handler to write
to the tree while holding just the mmap read lock. This is safe as the
writes to the stack have a guard VMA which ensures there will always be a
NULL in the direction of the growth and thus will only update a pivot.
It is possible, but not recommended, to have VMAs that grow up/down
without guard VMAs. syzbot has constructed a testcase which sets up a VMA
to grow and consume the empty space. Overwriting the entire NULL entry
causes the tree to be altered in a way that is not safe for concurrent
readers; the readers may see a node being rewritten or one that does not
match the maple state they are using.
Enabling RCU mode allows the concurrent readers to see a stable node and
will return the expected result.

TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_NEVER_DAX has nothing to do with DAX. It's set when
has_transparent_hugepage() returns false, checked in hugepage_vma_check()
and will disable THP completely if false. Rename it to
TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_UNSUPPORTED to reflect its real purpose.

Patch series "make slab shrink lockless", v5.
This patch series aims to make slab shrink lockless.
1. Background
=============
On our servers, we often find the following system cpu hotspots:
52.22% [kernel] [k] down_read_trylock
19.60% [kernel] [k] up_read
8.86% [kernel] [k] shrink_slab
2.44% [kernel] [k] idr_find
1.25% [kernel] [k] count_shadow_nodes
1.18% [kernel] [k] shrink lruvec
0.71% [kernel] [k] mem_cgroup_iter
0.71% [kernel] [k] shrink_node
0.55% [kernel] [k] find_next_bit
And we used bpftrace to capture its calltrace as follows:
@[
down_read_trylock+1
shrink_slab+128
shrink_node+371
do_try_to_free_pages+232
try_to_free_pages+243

We can see that down_read_trylock() of shrinker_rwsem is being called with
high frequency at that time. Because of the poor multicore scalability of
atomic operations, this can lead to a significant drop in IPC
(instructions per cycle).
And more, the shrinker_rwsem is a global read-write lock in shrinkers
subsystem, which protects most operations such as slab shrink,
registration and unregistration of shrinkers, etc. This can easily cause
problems in the following cases.
1) When the memory pressure is high and there are many filesystems
mounted or unmounted at the same time, slab shrink will be affected
(down_read_trylock() failed).
Such as the real workload mentioned by Kirill Tkhai:
```
One of the real workloads from my experience is start of an
overcommitted node containing many starting containers after node crash
(or many resuming containers after reboot for kernel update). In these
cases memory pressure is huge, and the node goes round in long reclaim.
```
2) If a shrinker is blocked (such as the case mentioned in [1]) and a
writer comes in (such as mount a fs), then this writer will be blocked
and cause all subsequent shrinker-related operations to be blocked.
[1]. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191129214541.3110-1-ptikhomirov@virtuozzo.com/
All the above cases can be solved by replacing the shrinker_rwsem trylocks
with SRCU.
2. Survey
=========
Before doing the code implementation, I found that there were many similar
submissions in the community:
a. Davidlohr Bueso submitted a patch in 2015.
Subject: [PATCH -next v2] mm: srcu-ify shrinkers
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/1437080113.3596.2.camel@stgolabs.net/
Result: It was finally merged into the linux-next branch,
but failed on arm allnoconfig (without CONFIG_SRCU)
b. Tetsuo Handa submitted a patchset in 2017.
Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm,vmscan: Kill global shrinker lock.
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1510609063-3327-1-git-send-email-penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp/
Result: Finally chose to use the current simple way (break
when rwsem_is_contended()). And Christoph Hellwig suggested to
using SRCU, but SRCU was not unconditionally enabled at the
time.
c. Kirill Tkhai submitted a patchset in 2018.
Subject: [PATCH RFC 00/10] Introduce lockless shrink_slab()
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/153365347929.19074.12509495712735843805.stgit@localhost.localdomain/
Result: At that time, SRCU was not unconditionally enabled,
and there were some objections to enabling SRCU. Later,
because Kirill's focus was moved to other things, this patchset
was not continued to be updated.
d. Sultan Alsawaf submitted a patch in 2021.
Subject: [PATCH] mm: vmscan: Replace shrinker_rwsem trylocks with SRCU protection
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210927074823.5825-1-sultan@kerneltoast.com/
Result: Rejected because SRCU was not unconditionally enabled.
We can find that almost all these historical commits were abandoned
because SRCU was not unconditionally enabled. But now SRCU has been
unconditionally enable by Paul E. McKenney in 2023 [2], so it's time to
replace shrinker_rwsem trylocks with SRCU.

3. Reproduction and testing
===========================
We can reproduce the down_read_trylock() hotspot through the following script:
```
#!/bin/bash
DIR="/root/shrinker/memcg/mnt"
do_create()
{
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/test
echo 4G > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
for i in `seq 0 $1`;
do
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i;
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i/cgroup.procs;
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/test/cgroup.procs;
mkdir -p $DIR/$i;
done
}
do_mount()
{
for i in `seq $1 $2`;
do
mount -t tmpfs $i $DIR/$i;
done
}
do_touch()
{
for i in `seq $1 $2`;
do
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i/cgroup.procs;
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/test/cgroup.procs;
dd if=/dev/zero of=$DIR/$i/file$i bs=1M count=1 &
done
}
case "$1" in
touch)
do_touch $2 $3
;;
test)
do_create 4000
do_mount 0 4000
do_touch 0 3000
;;
*)
exit 1
;;
esac
```
Save the above script, then run test and touch commands. Then we can use
the following perf command to view hotspots:
perf top -U -F 999
1) Before applying this patchset:
32.31% [kernel] [k] down_read_trylock
19.40% [kernel] [k] pv_native_safe_halt
16.24% [kernel] [k] up_read
15.70% [kernel] [k] shrink_slab
4.69% [kernel] [k] _find_next_bit
2.62% [kernel] [k] shrink_node
1.78% [kernel] [k] shrink_lruvec
0.76% [kernel] [k] do_shrink_slab
2) After applying this patchset:
27.83% [kernel] [k] _find_next_bit
16.97% [kernel] [k] shrink_slab
15.82% [kernel] [k] pv_native_safe_halt
9.58% [kernel] [k] shrink_node
8.31% [kernel] [k] shrink_lruvec
5.64% [kernel] [k] do_shrink_slab
3.88% [kernel] [k] mem_cgroup_iter
At the same time, we use the following perf command to capture IPC
information:
perf stat -e cycles,instructions -G test -a --repeat 5 -- sleep 10
1) Before applying this patchset:
Performance counter stats for 'system wide' (5 runs):
454187219766 cycles test ( +- 1.84% )
78896433101 instructions test # 0.17 insn per cycle ( +- 0.44% )
10.0020430 +- 0.0000366 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.00% )
2) After applying this patchset:
Performance counter stats for 'system wide' (5 runs):
841954709443 cycles test ( +- 15.80% ) (98.69%)
527258677936 instructions test # 0.63 insn per cycle ( +- 15.11% ) (98.68%)
10.01064 +- 0.00831 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.08% )
We can see that IPC drops very seriously when calling down_read_trylock()
at high frequency. After using SRCU, the IPC is at a normal level.
This patch (of 8):
To prepare for the subsequent lockless memcg slab shrink, add a map_nr_max
field to struct shrinker_info to records its own real shrinker_nr_max.
