2024-12-05Revert "readahead: properly shorten readahead when falling back to ↵Jan Kara
do_page_cache_ra()" This reverts commit 7c877586da3178974a8a94577b6045a48377ff25. Anders and Philippe have reported that recent kernels occasionally hang when used with NFS in readahead code. The problem has been bisected to 7c877586da3 ("readahead: properly shorten readahead when falling back to do_page_cache_ra()"). The cause of the problem is that ra->size can be shrunk by read_pages() call and subsequently we end up calling do_page_cache_ra() with negative (read huge positive) number of pages. Let's revert 7c877586da3 for now until we can find a proper way how the logic in read_pages() and page_cache_ra_order() can coexist. This can lead to reduced readahead throughput due to readahead window confusion but that's better than outright hangs.

2024-11-06mm: don't set readahead flag on a folio when lookahead_size > nr_to_readPankaj Raghav
The readahead flag is set on a folio based on the lookahead_size and nr_to_read. For example, when the readahead happens from index to index + nr_to_read, then the readahead `mark` offset from index is set at nr_to_read - lookahead_size. There are some scenarios where the lookahead_size > nr_to_read. For example, readahead window was created, but the file was truncated before the readahead starts. do_page_cache_ra() will clamp the nr_to_read if the readahead window extends beyond EOF after truncation. If this happens, readahead flag should not be set on any folio on the current readahead window. The current calculation for `mark` with mapping_min_order > 0 gives incorrect results when lookahead_size > nr_to_read due to rounding up operation: index = 128 nr_to_read = 16 lookahead_size = 28 mapping_min_order = 4 (16 pages) ra_folio_index = round_up(128 + 16 - 28, 16) = 128; mark = 128 - 128 = 0; # offset from index to set RA flag In the above example, the lookahead_size is actually lying outside the current readahead window. Without this patch, RA flag will be set incorrectly on the folio at index 128. This can lead to marking the readahead flag on the wrong folio, therefore, triggering a readahead when it is not necessary. Explicitly initialize `mark` to be ULONG_MAX and only calculate it when lookahead_size is within the readahead window.

2024-08-23readahead: allocate folios with mapping_min_order in readaheadPankaj Raghav
page_cache_ra_unbounded() was allocating single pages (0 order folios) if there was no folio found in an index. Allocate mapping_min_order folios as we need to guarantee the minimum order if it is set. page_cache_ra_order() tries to allocate folio to the page cache with a higher order if the index aligns with that order. Modify it so that the order does not go below the mapping_min_order requirement of the page cache. This function will do the right thing even if the new_order passed is less than the mapping_min_order. When adding new folios to the page cache we must also ensure the index used is aligned to the mapping_min_order as the page cache requires the index to be aligned to the order of the folio. readahead_expand() is called from readahead aops to extend the range of the readahead so this function can assume ractl->_index to be aligned with min_order.

2024-08-12introduce fd_file(), convert all accessors to it.Al Viro
For any changes of struct fd representation we need to turn existing accesses to fields into calls of wrappers. Accesses to struct fd::flags are very few (3 in linux/file.h, 1 in net/socket.c, 3 in fs/overlayfs/file.c and 3 more in explicit initializers). Those can be dealt with in the commit converting to new layout; accesses to struct fd::file are too many for that. This commit converts (almost) all of f.file to fd_file(f). It's not entirely mechanical ('file' is used as a member name more than just in struct fd) and it does not even attempt to distinguish the uses in pointer context from those in boolean context; the latter will be eventually turned into a separate helper (fd_empty()). NOTE: mass conversion to fd_empty(), tempting as it might be, is a bad idea; better do that piecewise in commit that convert from fdget...() to CLASS(...).

2024-07-03mm/readahead: limit page cache size in page_cache_ra_order()Gavin Shan
In page_cache_ra_order(), the maximal order of the page cache to be allocated shouldn't be larger than MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER. Otherwise, it's possible the large page cache can't be supported by xarray when the corresponding xarray entry is split. For example, HPAGE_PMD_ORDER is 13 on ARM64 when the base page size is 64KB. The PMD-sized page cache can't be supported by xarray.

2024-07-03readahead: drop dead code in ondemand_readahead()Jan Kara
ondemand_readahead() scales up the readahead window if the current read would hit the readahead mark placed by itself. However the condition is mostly dead code because: a) In case of async readahead we always increase ra->start so ra->start == index is never true. b) In case of sync readahead we either go through try_context_readahead() in which case ra->async_size == 1 < ra->size or we go through initial_readahead where ra->async_size == ra->size iff ra->size == max_pages. So the only practical effect is reducing async_size for large initial reads. Make the code more obvious.

2024-07-03readahead: properly shorten readahead when falling back to do_page_cache_ra()Jan Kara
When we succeed in creating some folios in page_cache_ra_order() but then need to fallback to single page folios, we don't shorten the amount to read passed to do_page_cache_ra() by the amount we've already read. This then results in reading more and also in placing another readahead mark in the middle of the readahead window which confuses readahead code.

2024-07-03readahead: make sure sync readahead reads needed pageJan Kara
Patch series "mm: Fix various readahead quirks". When we were internally testing performance of recent kernels, we have noticed quite variable performance of readahead arising from various quirks in readahead code. So I went on a cleaning spree there. This is a batch of patches resulting out of that. A quick testing in my test VM with the following fio job file: [global] direct=0 ioengine=sync invalidate=1 blocksize=4k size=10g readwrite=read [reader] numjobs=1 shows that this patch series improves the throughput from variable one in 310-340 MB/s range to rather stable one at 350 MB/s. As a side effect these cleanups also address the issue noticed by Bruz Zhang [1]. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240618114941.5935-1-zhangpengpeng0808@gmail.com/ Zhang Peng reported: : I test this batch of patch with fio, it indeed has a huge sppedup : in sequential read when block size is 4KiB.

It is expected that it creates the folio (and perhaps the following folios as well) and submits reads for them unless some error happens. However if index == ra->start + ra->size, ondemand_readahead() will treat the call as another async readahead hit. Thus ra->start will be advanced and we create pages and queue reads from ra->start + ra->size further. Consequentially the page at 'index' is not created and filemap_get_pages() has to always go through filemap_create_folio() path. This behavior has particularly unfortunate consequences when we have two IO threads sequentially reading from a shared file (as is the case when NFS serves sequential reads). In that case what can happen is: suppose ra->size == ra->async_size == 128, ra->start = 512 T1 T2 reads 128 pages at index 512 - hits async readahead mark filemap_readahead() ondemand_readahead() if (index == expected ...) ra->start = 512 + 128 = 640 ra->size = 128 ra->async_size = 128 page_cache_ra_order() blocks in ra_alloc_folio() reads 128 pages at index 640 - no page found page_cache_sync_readahead() ondemand_readahead() if (index == expected ...) ra->start = 640 + 128 = 768 ra->size = 128 ra->async_size = 128 page_cache_ra_order() submits reads from 768 - still no page found at index 640 filemap_create_folio() - goes on to index 641 page_cache_sync_readahead() ondemand_readahead() - founds ra is confused, trims is to small size finds pages were already inserted And as a result read performance suffers. Fix the problem by triggering async readahead case in ondemand_readahead() only if we are calling the function because we hit the readahead marker. In any other case we need to read the folio at 'index' and thus we cannot really use the current ra state. Note that the above situation could be viewed as a special case of file->f_ra state corruption. In fact two thread reading using the shared file can also seemingly corrupt file->f_ra in interesting ways due to concurrent access. I never saw that in practice and the fix is going to be much more complex so for now at least fix this practical problem while we ponder about the theoretically correct solution.

2024-04-25mm/readahead: break read-ahead loop if filemap_add_folio return -ENOMEMLiu Shixin
Patch series "Fix I/O high when memory almost met memcg limit", v2. Recently, when install package in a docker which almost reached its memory limit, the installer has no respond severely for more than 15 minutes. During this period, I/O stays high(~1G/s) and influence the whole machine. I've constructed a use case as follows: 1. create a docker: $ cat test.sh #!/bin/bash docker rm centos7 --force docker create --name centos7 --memory 4G --memory-swap 6G centos:7 /usr/sbin/init docker start centos7 sleep 1 docker cp ./alloc_page centos7:/ docker cp ./reproduce.sh centos7:/ docker exec -it centos7 /bin/bash 2. try reproduce the problem in docker: $ cat reproduce.sh #!/bin/bash while true; do flag=$(ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep alloc_page| wc -l) if [ "$flag" -eq 0 ]; then /alloc_page & fi sleep 30 start_time=$(date +%s) yum install -y expect > /dev/null 2>&1 end_time=$(date +%s) elapsed_time=$((end_time - start_time)) echo "$elapsed_time seconds" yum remove -y expect > /dev/null 2>&1 done $ cat alloc_page.c: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <string.h> #define SIZE 1*1024*1024 //1M int main() { void *addr = NULL; int i; for (i = 0; i < 1024 * 6 - 50;i++) { addr = (void *)malloc(SIZE); if (!addr) return -1; memset(addr, 0, SIZE); } sleep(99999); return 0; } We found that this problem is caused by a lot ot meaningless read-ahead. Since the docker is almost met memory limit, the page will be reclaimed immediately after read-ahead and will read-ahead again immediately. The program is executed slowly and waste a lot of I/O resource. These two patch aim to break the read-ahead in above scenario.

2024-02-22readahead: use ilog2 instead of a while loop in page_cache_ra_order()Pankaj Raghav
A while loop is used to adjust the new_order to be lower than the ra->size. ilog2 could be used to do the same instead of using a loop. ilog2 typically resolves to a bit scan reverse instruction. This is particularly useful when ra->size is smaller than the 2^new_order as it resolves in one instruction instead of looping to find the new_order. No functional changes.

2024-01-25readahead: avoid multiple marked readahead pagesJan Kara
ra_alloc_folio() marks a page that should trigger next round of async readahead. However it rounds up computed index to the order of page being allocated. This can however lead to multiple consecutive pages being marked with readahead flag. Consider situation with index == 1, mark == 1, order == 0. We insert order 0 page at index 1 and mark it. Then we bump order to 1, index to 2, mark (still == 1) is rounded up to 2 so page at index 2 is marked as well. Then we bump order to 2, index is incremented to 4, mark gets rounded to 4 so page at index 4 is marked as well. The fact that multiple pages get marked within a single readahead window confuses the readahead logic and results in readahead window being trimmed back to 1. This situation is triggered in particular when maximum readahead window size is not a power of two (in the observed case it was 768 KB) and as a result sequential read throughput suffers. Fix the problem by rounding 'mark' down instead of up. Because the index is naturally aligned to 'order', we are guaranteed 'rounded mark' == index iff 'mark' is within the page we are allocating at 'index' and thus exactly one page is marked with readahead flag as required by the readahead code and sequential read performance is restored. This effectively reverts part of commit b9ff43dd2743 ("mm/readahead: Fix readahead with large folios"). The commit changed the rounding with the rationale: "... we were setting the readahead flag on the folio which contains the last byte read from the block. This is wrong because we will trigger readahead at the end of the read without waiting to see if a subsequent read is going to use the pages we just read." Although this is true, the fact is this was always the case with read sizes not aligned to folio boundaries and large folios in the page cache just make the situation more obvious (and frequent). Also for sequential read workloads it is better to trigger the readahead earlier rather than later. It is true that the difference in the rounding and thus earlier triggering of the readahead can result in reading more for semi-random workloads. However workloads really suffering from this seem to be rare. In particular I have verified that the workload described in commit b9ff43dd2743 ("mm/readahead: Fix readahead with large folios") of reading random 100k blocks from a file like: [reader] bs=100k rw=randread numjobs=1 size=64g runtime=60s is not impacted by the rounding change and achieves ~70MB/s in both cases.

2023-12-12mm/readahead: do not allow order-1 folioRyan Roberts
The THP machinery does not support order-1 folios because it requires meta data spanning the first 3 `struct page`s. So order-2 is the smallest large folio that we can safely create. There was a theoretical bug whereby if ra->size was 2 or 3 pages (due to the device-specific bdi->ra_pages being set that way), we could end up with order = 1. Fix this by unconditionally checking if the preferred order is 1 and if so, set it to 0. Previously this was done in a few specific places, but with this refactoring it is done just once, unconditionally, at the end of the calculation. This is a theoretical bug found during review of the code; I have no evidence to suggest this manifests in the real world (I expect all device-specific ra_pages values are much bigger than 3).

2022-09-20mm: add PSI accounting around ->read_folio and ->readahead callsChristoph Hellwig
PSI tries to account for the cost of bringing back in pages discarded by the MM LRU management. Currently the prime place for that is hooked into the bio submission path, which is a rather bad place: - it does not actually account I/O for non-block file systems, of which we have many - it adds overhead and a layering violation to the block layer Add the accounting into the two places in the core MM code that read pages into an address space by calling into ->read_folio and ->readahead so that the entire file system operations are covered, to broaden the coverage and allow removing the accounting in the block layer going forward. As psi_memstall_enter can deal with nested calls this will not lead to double accounting even while the bio annotations are still present.

2022-06-23filemap: Fix serialization adding transparent huge pages to page cacheAlistair Popple
Commit 793917d997df ("mm/readahead: Add large folio readahead") introduced support for using large folios for filebacked pages if the filesystem supports it. page_cache_ra_order() was introduced to allocate and add these large folios to the page cache. However adding pages to the page cache should be serialized against truncation and hole punching by taking invalidate_lock. Not doing so can lead to data races resulting in stale data getting added to the page cache and marked up-to-date. See commit 730633f0b7f9 ("mm: Protect operations adding pages to page cache with invalidate_lock") for more details. This issue was found by inspection but a testcase revealed it was possible to observe in practice on XFS. Fix this by taking invalidate_lock in page_cache_ra_order(), to mirror what is done for the non-thp case in page_cache_ra_unbounded().

2022-05-05mm/readahead: Fix readahead with large foliosMatthew Wilcox (Oracle)
Reading 100KB chunks from a big file (eg dd bs=100K) leads to poor readahead behaviour. Studying the traces in detail, I noticed two problems. The first is that we were setting the readahead flag on the folio which contains the last byte read from the block. This is wrong because we will trigger readahead at the end of the read without waiting to see if a subsequent read is going to use the pages we just read. Instead, we need to set the readahead flag on the first folio _after_ the one which contains the last byte that we're reading. The second is that we were looking for the index of the folio with the readahead flag set to exactly match the start + size - async_size. If we've rounded this, either down (as previously) or up (as now), we'll think we hit a folio marked as readahead by a different read, and try to read the wrong pages. So round the expected index to the order of the folio we hit. Reported-by: Guo Xuenan <guoxuenan@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org>

inode_congested() reports if the backing-device for the inode is congested. No bdi reports congestion any more, so this always returns 'false'. So remove inode_congested() and related functions, and remove the call sites, assuming that inode_congested() always returns 'false'.

2022-03-22mm: improve cleanup when ->readpages doesn't process all pagesNeilBrown
If ->readpages doesn't process all the pages, then it is best to act as though they weren't requested so that a subsequent readahead can try again. So: - remove any 'ahead' pages from the page cache so they can be loaded with ->readahead() rather then multiple ->read()s - update the file_ra_state to reflect the reads that were actually submitted. This allows ->readpages() to abort early due e.g. to congestion, which will then allow us to remove the inode_read_congested() test from page_Cache_async_ra().
