mm: clear PG_dirty to mark page freeable
Basically, MADV_FREE relies on dirty bit in page table entry to decide
whether VM allows to discard the page or not. IOW, if page table entry
includes marked dirty bit, VM shouldn't discard the page.
However, as a example, if swap-in by read fault happens, page table entry
doesn't have dirty bit so MADV_FREE could discard the page wrongly.
For avoiding the problem, MADV_FREE did more checks with PageDirty
and PageSwapCache. It worked out because swapped-in page lives on
swap cache and since it is evicted from the swap cache, the page has
PG_dirty flag. So both page flags check effectively prevent
wrong discarding by MADV_FREE.
However, a problem in above logic is that swapped-in page has
PG_dirty still after they are removed from swap cache so VM cannot
consider the page as freeable any more even if madvise_free is
called in future.
Look at below example for detail.
ptr = malloc();
memset(ptr);
..
..
.. heavy memory pressure so all of pages are swapped out
..
..
var = *ptr; -> a page swapped-in and could be removed from
swapcache. Then, page table doesn't mark
dirty bit and page descriptor includes PG_dirty
..
..
madvise_free(ptr); -> It doesn't clear PG_dirty of the page.
..
..
..
.. heavy memory pressure again.
.. In this time, VM cannot discard the page because the page
.. has *PG_dirty*
To solve the problem, this patch clears PG_dirty if only the page is owned
exclusively by current process when madvise is called because PG_dirty
represents ptes's dirtiness in several processes so we could clear it only
if we own it exclusively.

mm: MADV_FREE trivial clean up
1. Page table waker already pass the vma it is processing
so we don't need to pass vma.
2. If page table entry is dirty in try_to_unmap_one, the dirtiness
should propagate to PG_dirty of the page. So, it's enough to check
only PageDirty without other pte dirty bit checking.

mm: support madvise(MADV_FREE)
Linux doesn't have an ability to free pages lazy while other OS already
have been supported that named by madvise(MADV_FREE).
The gain is clear that kernel can discard freed pages rather than swapping
out or OOM if memory pressure happens.
Without memory pressure, freed pages would be reused by userspace without
another additional overhead(ex, page fault + allocation + zeroing).

How it works:
When madvise syscall is called, VM clears dirty bit of ptes of the range.
If memory pressure happens, VM checks dirty bit of page table and if it
found still "clean", it means it's a "lazyfree pages" so VM could discard
the page instead of swapping out. Once there was store operation for the
page before VM peek a page to reclaim, dirty bit is set so VM can swap out
the page instead of discarding.
Firstly, heavy users would be general allocators(ex, jemalloc, tcmalloc
and hope glibc supports it) and jemalloc/tcmalloc already have supported
the feature for other OS(ex, FreeBSD)

mm: increase SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX to batch TLB flushes
Pages that are unmapped for reclaim must be flushed before being freed to
avoid corruption due to a page being freed and reallocated while a stale
TLB entry exists. When reclaiming mapped pages, the requires one IPI per
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX. This patch increases SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX to 256 so more
pages can be flushed with a single IPI. This number was selected because
it reduced IPIs for TLB shootdowns by 40% on a workload that is dominated
by mapped pages.
Note that it is expected that doubling SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX would not always
halve the IPIs as it is workload dependent. Reclaim efficiency was not
100% on this workload which was picked for being IPI-intensive and was
closer to 35%. More importantly, reclaim does not always isolate in
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages. The LRU lists for a zone may be small, the
priority can be low and even when reclaiming a lot of pages, the last
isolation may not be exactly SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX.
There are a few potential issues with increasing SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX.
1. LRU lock hold times increase slightly because more pages are being
isolated.
2. There are slight timing changes due to more pages having to be
processed before they are freed. There is a slight risk that more
pages than are necessary get reclaimed.
3. There is a risk that too_many_isolated checks will be easier to
trigger resulting in a HZ/10 stall.
4. The rotation rate of active->inactive is slightly faster but there
should be fewer rotations before the lists get balanced so it
shouldn't matter.
5. More pages are reclaimed in a single pass if zone_reclaim_mode is
active but that thing sucks hard when it's enabled no matter what
6. More pages are isolated for compaction so page hold times there
are longer while they are being copied
It's unlikely any of these will be problems but worth keeping in mind if
there are any reclaim-related bug reports in the near future.

Before THP refcounting rework, THP was not allowed to cross VMA boundary.
So, if we have THP and we split it, PG_mlocked can be safely transferred
to small pages.
With new THP refcounting and naive approach to mlocking we can end up with
this scenario:
1. we have a mlocked THP, which belong to one VM_LOCKED VMA.
2. the process does munlock() on the *part* of the THP:
- the VMA is split into two, one of them VM_LOCKED;
- huge PMD split into PTE table;
- THP is still mlocked;
3. split_huge_page():
- it transfers PG_mlocked to *all* small pages regrardless if it
blong to any VM_LOCKED VMA.
We probably could munlock() all small pages on split_huge_page(), but I
think we have accounting issue already on step two.
Instead of forbidding mlocked pages altogether, we just avoid mlocking
PTE-mapped THPs and munlock THPs on split_huge_pmd().
This means PTE-mapped THPs will be on normal lru lists and will be
split under memory pressure by vmscan. After the split vmscan will
detect unevictable small pages and mlock them.
With this approach we shouldn't hit situation like described above.

Currently we don't split huge page on partial unmap. It's not an ideal
situation. It can lead to memory overhead.
Furtunately, we can detect partial unmap on page_remove_rmap(). But we
cannot call split_huge_page() from there due to locking context.
It's also counterproductive to do directly from munmap() codepath: in
many cases we will hit this from exit(2) and splitting the huge page
just to free it up in small pages is not what we really want.
The patch introduce deferred_split_huge_page() which put the huge page
into queue for splitting. The splitting itself will happen when we get
memory pressure via shrinker interface. The page will be dropped from
list on freeing through compound page destructor.

This patch adds implementation of split_huge_page() for new
refcountings.
Unlike previous implementation, new split_huge_page() can fail if
somebody holds GUP pin on the page. It also means that pin on page
would prevent it from bening split under you. It makes situation in
many places much cleaner.
The basic scheme of split_huge_page():
- Check that sum of mapcounts of all subpage is equal to page_count()
plus one (caller pin). Foll off with -EBUSY. This way we can avoid
useless PMD-splits.
- Freeze the page counters by splitting all PMD and setup migration
PTEs.
- Re-check sum of mapcounts against page_count(). Page's counts are
stable now. -EBUSY if page is pinned.
- Split compound page.
- Unfreeze the page by removing migration entries.

mm: rework mapcount accounting to enable 4k mapping of THPs
We're going to allow mapping of individual 4k pages of THP compound.
It means we need to track mapcount on per small page basis.
Straight-forward approach is to use ->_mapcount in all subpages to track
how many time this subpage is mapped with PMDs or PTEs combined. But
this is rather expensive: mapping or unmapping of a THP page with PMD
would require HPAGE_PMD_NR atomic operations instead of single we have
now.
The idea is to store separately how many times the page was mapped as
whole -- compound_mapcount. This frees up ->_mapcount in subpages to
track PTE mapcount.
We use the same approach as with compound page destructor and compound
order to store compound_mapcount: use space in first tail page,
->mapping this time.
Any time we map/unmap whole compound page (THP or hugetlb) -- we
increment/decrement compound_mapcount. When we map part of compound page
with PTE we operate on ->_mapcount of the subpage.
page_mapcount() counts both: PTE and PMD mappings of the page.
Basically, we have mapcount for a subpage spread over two counters.
It makes tricky to detect when last mapcount for a page goes away.
We introduced PageDoubleMap() for this. When we split THP PMD for the
first time and there's other PMD mapping left we offset up ->_mapcount
in all subpages by one and set PG_double_map on the compound page.
These additional references go away with last compound_mapcount.
This approach provides a way to detect when last mapcount goes away on
per small page basis without introducing new overhead for most common
cases.

Tail page refcounting is utterly complicated and painful to support.
It uses ->_mapcount on tail pages to store how many times this page is
pinned. get_page() bumps ->_mapcount on tail page in addition to
->_count on head. This information is required by split_huge_page() to
be able to distribute pins from head of compound page to tails during
the split.
We will need ->_mapcount to account PTE mappings of subpages of the
compound page. We eliminate need in current meaning of ->_mapcount in
tail pages by forbidding split entirely if the page is pinned.
The only user of tail page refcounting is THP which is marked BROKEN for
now.
Let's drop all this mess. It makes get_page() and put_page() much
simpler.

Up to this point we tried to keep patchset bisectable, but next patches
are going to change how core of THP refcounting work.
It would be beneficial to split the change into several patches and make
it more reviewable. Unfortunately, I don't see how we can achieve that
while keeping THP working.
Let's hide THP under CONFIG_BROKEN for now and bring it back when new
refcounting get established.

thp, mlock: do not allow huge pages in mlocked area
With new refcounting THP can belong to several VMAs. This makes tricky to
track THP pages, when they partially mlocked. It can lead to leaking
mlocked pages to non-VM_LOCKED vmas and other problems.
With this patch we will split all pages on mlock and avoid
fault-in/collapse new THP in VM_LOCKED vmas.
I've tried alternative approach: do not mark THP pages mlocked and keep
them on normal LRUs. This way vmscan could try to split huge pages on
memory pressure and free up subpages which doesn't belong to VM_LOCKED
vmas. But this is user-visible change: we screw up Mlocked accouting
reported in meminfo, so I had to leave this approach aside.
We can bring something better later, but this should be good enough for
now.

mm: handle PTE-mapped tail pages in gerneric fast gup implementaiton
With new refcounting we are going to see THP tail pages mapped with PTE.
Generic fast GUP rely on page_cache_get_speculative() to obtain reference
on page. page_cache_get_speculative() always fails on tail pages, because
->_count on tail pages is always zero.
Let's handle tail pages in gup_pte_range().
New split_huge_page() will rely on migration entries to freeze page's
counts. Recheck PTE value after page_cache_get_speculative() on head page
should be enough to serialize against split.

mm, thp: adjust conditions when we can reuse the page on WP fault
With new refcounting we will be able map the same compound page with PTEs
and PMDs. It requires adjustment to conditions when we can reuse the page
on write-protection fault.
For PTE fault we can't reuse the page if it's part of huge page.
For PMD we can only reuse the page if nobody else maps the huge page or
it's part. We can do it by checking page_mapcount() on each sub-page, but
it's expensive.
The cheaper way is to check page_count() to be equal 1: every mapcount
takes page reference, so this way we can guarantee, that the PMD is the
only mapping.
This approach can give false negative if somebody pinned the page, but
that doesn't affect correctness.

As with rmap, with new refcounting we cannot rely on PageTransHuge() to
check if we need to charge size of huge page form the cgroup. We need to
get information from caller to know whether it was mapped with PMD or PTE.
We do uncharge when last reference on the page gone. At that point if we
see PageTransHuge() it means we need to unchange whole huge page.
The tricky part is partial unmap -- when we try to unmap part of huge
page. We don't do a special handing of this situation, meaning we don't
uncharge the part of huge page unless last user is gone or
split_huge_page() is triggered. In case of cgroup memory pressure happens
the partial unmapped page will be split through shrinker. This should be
good enough.

The goal of this patchset is to make refcounting on THP pages cheaper with
simpler semantics and allow the same THP compound page to be mapped with
PMD and PTEs. This is required to get reasonable THP-pagecache
implementation.
With the new refcounting design it's much easier to protect against
split_huge_page(): simple reference on a page will make you the deal. It
makes gup_fast() implementation simpler and doesn't require special-case
in futex code to handle tail THP pages.
It should improve THP utilization over the system since splitting THP in
one process doesn't necessary lead to splitting the page in all other
processes have the page mapped.
The patchset drastically lower complexity of get_page()/put_page()
codepaths. I encourage people look on this code before-and-after to
justify time budget on reviewing this patchset.
This patch (of 37):
With new refcounting all subpages of the compound page are not necessary
have the same mapcount. We need to take into account mapcount of every
sub-page.

always NULL, which can be inconsistent with head page and potentially lead
to problems.
Let's poison the pointer to catch all illigal uses.
page_rmapping(), page_mapping() and page_anon_vma() are changed to look on
head page.
The only illegal use I've caught so far is __GPF_COMP pages from sound

page-flags: define PG_locked behavior on compound pages

sense to lock part of compound page. Change code to use head page's
PG_locked, if tail page is passed.
This patch also gets rid of custom helper functions -- __set_page_locked()
and __clear_page_locked(). They are replaced with helpers generated by
__SETPAGEFLAG/__CLEARPAGEFLAG. Tail pages to these helper would trigger
VM_BUG_ON().
SLUB uses PG_locked as a bit spin locked. IIUC, tail pages should never
appear there. VM_BUG_ON() is added to make sure that this assumption is
correct.

This patch adds a third argument to macros which create function
definitions for page flags. This argument defines how page-flags helpers
behave on compound functions.
For now we define four policies:
- PF_ANY: the helper function operates on the page it gets, regardless
if it's non-compound, head or tail.
- PF_HEAD: the helper function operates on the head page of the compound
page if it gets tail page.
- PF_NO_TAIL: only head and non-compond pages are acceptable for this
helper function.
- PF_NO_COMPOUND: only non-compound pages are acceptable for this helper
function.
For now we use policy PF_ANY for all helpers, which matches current
behaviour.
We do not enforce the policy for TESTPAGEFLAG, because we have flags
checked for random pages all over the kernel. Noticeable exception to
this is PageTransHuge() which triggers VM_BUG_ON() for tail page.

Since compound_head() rework we encode PageTail() into bit 0 of

page->lru is initialized before first use of compound_head() or
PageTail().
My page-flags patchset makes sure that we don't use PG_reserved on

SetPageReserved() in reserve_bootmem_region()
Let's initialize page->lru before that to avoid false positive from
PageTail().

The race is pure theoretical. I don't it's possible to trigger it in
practice. But who knows.
We can fix the race by changing how encode PageTail() and compound_head()
within struct page to be able to update them in one shot.
The patch introduces page->compound_head into third double word block in
front of compound_dtor and compound_order. Bit 0 encodes PageTail() and
the rest bits are pointer to head page if bit zero is set.
The patch moves page->pmd_huge_pte out of word, just in case if an
architecture defines pgtable_t into something what can have the bit 0
set.
hugetlb_cgroup uses page->lru.next in the second tail page to store
pointer struct hugetlb_cgroup. The patch switch it to use page->private
in the second tail page instead. The space is free since ->first_page is
removed from the union.
The patch also opens possibility to remove HUGETLB_CGROUP_MIN_ORDER
limitation, since there's now space in first tail page to store struct
hugetlb_cgroup pointer. But that's out of scope of the patch.
That means page->compound_head shares storage space with:
That's too long list to be absolutely sure, but looks like nobody uses
bit 0 of the word.
page->rcu_head.next guaranteed[1] to have bit 0 clean as long as we use
call_rcu(), call_rcu_bh(), call_rcu_sched(), or call_srcu(). But future
call_rcu_lazy() is not allowed as it makes use of the bit and we can
get false positive PageTail().
mm: pack compound_dtor and compound_order into one word in struct page
The patch halves space occupied by compound_dtor and compound_order in
struct page.
For compound_order, it's trivial long -> short conversion.
For get_compound_page_dtor(), we now use hardcoded table for destructor
lookup and store its index in the struct page instead of direct pointer
to destructor. It shouldn't be a big trouble to maintain the table: we
have only two destructor and NULL currently.
This patch free up one word in tail pages for reuse. This is preparation
for the next patch.

Each `struct size_class' contains `struct zs_size_stat': an array of
NR_ZS_STAT_TYPE `unsigned long'. For zsmalloc built with no
CONFIG_ZSMALLOC_STAT this results in a waste of `2 * sizeof(unsigned
long)' per-class.
The patch removes unneeded `struct zs_size_stat' members by redefining
NR_ZS_STAT_TYPE (max stat idx in array).
Since both NR_ZS_STAT_TYPE and zs_stat_type are compile time constants,
GCC can eliminate zs_stat_inc()/zs_stat_dec() calls that use zs_stat_type
larger than NR_ZS_STAT_TYPE: CLASS_ALMOST_EMPTY and CLASS_ALMOST_FULL at
the moment.

To summarize:
a) each class now uses less memory
b) we avoid a number of dec/inc stats (a minor optimization,
but still).
The gain will increase once we introduce additional stats.

include; but in_interrupt() macro is defined in 'preempt.h' not in
'hardirq.h', so include it instead.

zsmalloc: fix obj_to_head use page_private(page) as value but not pointer
In obj_malloc():
if (!class->huge)
/* record handle in the header of allocated chunk */
link->handle = handle;
else
/* record handle in first_page->private */
set_page_private(first_page, handle);
In the hugepage we save handle to private directly.
But in obj_to_head():
if (class->huge) {
VM_BUG_ON(!is_first_page(page));
return *(unsigned long *)page_private(page);
} else
return *(unsigned long *)obj;
It is used as a pointer.
The reason why there is no problem until now is huge-class page is born
with ZS_FULL so it can't be migrated. However, we need this patch for
future work: "VM-aware zsmalloced page migration" to reduce external
fragmentation.

Make the return type of zpool_get_type const; the string belongs to the
zpool driver and should not be modified. Remove the redundant type field
in the struct zpool; it is private to zpool.c and isn't needed since
->driver->type can be used directly. Add comments indicating strings must
be null-terminated.

zswap: use charp for zswap param strings
Instead of using a fixed-length string for the zswap params, use charp.
This simplifies the code and uses less memory, as most zswap param strings
will be less than the current maximum length.
