2016-05-12mm: thp: calculate the mapcount correctly for THP pages during WP faultsAndrea Arcangeli
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. Mike Marciniszyn said: : Our RDMA tests are seeing an issue with memory locking that bisects to : commit 61f5d698cc97 ("mm: re-enable THP") : : The test program registers two rather large MRs (512M) and RDMA : writes data to a passive peer using the first and RDMA reads it back : into the second MR and compares that data. The sizes are chosen randomly : between 0 and 1024 bytes. : : The test will get through a few (<= 4 iterations) and then gets a : compare error. : : Tracing indicates the kernel logical addresses associated with the individual : pages at registration ARE correct , the data in the "RDMA read response only" : packets ARE correct. : : The "corruption" occurs when the packet crosse two pages that are not physically : contiguous. The second page reads back as zero in the program. : : It looks like the user VA at the point of the compare error no longer points to : the same physical address as was registered. : : This patch totally resolves the issue!

2016-04-04mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macrosKirill A. Shutemov
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. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2016-01-20mm: free swap cache aggressively if memcg swap is fullVladimir Davydov
Swap cache pages are freed aggressively if swap is nearly full (>50% currently), because otherwise we are likely to stop scanning anonymous when we near the swap limit even if there is plenty of freeable swap cache pages. We should follow the same trend in case of memory cgroup, which has its own swap limit.

2016-01-20mm: memcontrol: charge swap to cgroup2Vladimir Davydov
This patchset introduces swap accounting to cgroup2. This patch (of 7): In the legacy hierarchy we charge memsw, which is dubious, because: - memsw.limit must be >= memory.limit, so it is impossible to limit swap usage less than memory usage. Taking into account the fact that the primary limiting mechanism in the unified hierarchy is memory.high while memory.limit is either left unset or set to a very large value, moving memsw.limit knob to the unified hierarchy would effectively make it impossible to limit swap usage according to the user preference. - memsw.usage != memory.usage + swap.usage, because a page occupying both swap entry and a swap cache page is charged only once to memsw counter. As a result, it is possible to effectively eat up to memory.limit of memory pages *and* memsw.limit of swap entries, which looks unexpected. That said, we should provide a different swap limiting mechanism for cgroup2. This patch adds mem_cgroup->swap counter, which charges the actual number of swap entries used by a cgroup. It is only charged in the unified hierarchy, while the legacy hierarchy memsw logic is left intact. The swap usage can be monitored using new memory.swap.current file and limited using memory.swap.max. Note, to charge swap resource properly in the unified hierarchy, we have to make swap_entry_free uncharge swap only when ->usage reaches zero, not just ->count, i.e. when all references to a swap entry, including the one taken by swap cache, are gone. This is necessary, because otherwise swap-in could result in uncharging swap even if the page is still in swap cache and hence still occupies a swap entry. At the same time, this shouldn't break memsw counter logic, where a page is never charged twice for using both memory and swap, because in case of legacy hierarchy we uncharge swap on commit (see mem_cgroup_commit_charge).

2016-01-15mm: make swapoff more robust against soft dirtyHugh Dickins
Both s390 and powerpc have hit the issue of swapoff hanging, when CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_SOFT_DIRTY and CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY ifdefs were not quite as x86_64 had them. I think it would be much clearer if HAVE_ARCH_SOFT_DIRTY was just a Kconfig option set by architectures to determine whether the MEM_SOFT_DIRTY option should be offered, and the actual code depend upon CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY alone. But won't embark on that change myself: instead make swapoff more robust, by using pte_swp_clear_soft_dirty() on each pte it encounters, without an explicit #ifdef CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY. That being a no-op, whether the bit in question is defined as 0 or the asm-generic fallback is used, unless soft dirty is fully turned on. Why "maybe" in maybe_same_pte()? Rename it pte_same_as_swp().

2016-01-15mm, thp: adjust conditions when we can reuse the page on WP faultKirill A. Shutemov
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. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2016-01-15memcg: adjust to support new THP refcountingKirill A. Shutemov
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. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2015-09-08mm: /proc/pid/smaps:: show proportional swap share of the mappingMinchan Kim
We want to know per-process workingset size for smart memory management on userland and we use swap(ex, zram) heavily to maximize memory efficiency so workingset includes swap as well as RSS. On such system, if there are lots of shared anonymous pages, it's really hard to figure out exactly how many each process consumes memory(ie, rss + wap) if the system has lots of shared anonymous memory(e.g, android). This patch introduces SwapPss field on /proc/<pid>/smaps so we can get more exact workingset size per process. Bongkyu tested it.

But why is that iteration needed at all? Doesn't the claim_swapfile() which follows do all that is needed to check for a duplicate entry - FMODE_EXCL on a bdev, testing IS_SWAPFILE under i_mutex on a regfile? Well, not quite: bd_may_claim() allows the same "holder" to claim the bdev again, so we do need to use a different holder than "sys_swapon"; and we should not replace appropriate -EBUSY by inappropriate -EINVAL.

2014-08-08mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge APIJohannes Weiner
The memcg uncharging code that is involved towards the end of a page's lifetime - truncation, reclaim, swapout, migration - is impressively complicated and fragile. Because anonymous and file pages were always charged before they had their page->mapping established, uncharges had to happen when the page type could still be known from the context; as in unmap for anonymous, page cache removal for file and shmem pages, and swap cache truncation for swap pages. However, these operations happen well before the page is actually freed, and so a lot of synchronization is necessary: - Charging, uncharging, page migration, and charge migration all need to take a per-page bit spinlock as they could race with uncharging. - Swap cache truncation happens during both swap-in and swap-out, and possibly repeatedly before the page is actually freed. This means that the memcg swapout code is called from many contexts that make no sense and it has to figure out the direction from page state to make sure memory and memory+swap are always correctly charged. - On page migration, the old page might be unmapped but then reused, so memcg code has to prevent untimely uncharging in that case. Because this code - which should be a simple charge transfer - is so special-cased, it is not reusable for replace_page_cache(). But now that charged pages always have a page->mapping, introduce mem_cgroup_uncharge(), which is called after the final put_page(), when we know for sure that nobody is looking at the page anymore. For page migration, introduce mem_cgroup_migrate(), which is called after the migration is successful and the new page is fully rmapped. Because the old page is no longer uncharged after migration, prevent double charges by decoupling the page's memcg association (PCG_USED and pc->mem_cgroup) from the page holding an actual charge. The new bits PCG_MEM and PCG_MEMSW represent the respective charges and are transferred to the new page during migration. mem_cgroup_migrate() is suitable for replace_page_cache() as well, which gets rid of mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache(). However, care needs to be taken because both the source and the target page can already be charged and on the LRU when fuse is splicing: grab the page lock on the charge moving side to prevent changing pc->mem_cgroup of a page under migration. Also, the lruvecs of both pages change as we uncharge the old and charge the new during migration, and putback may race with us, so grab the lru lock and isolate the pages iff on LRU to prevent races and ensure the pages are on the right lruvec afterward. Swap accounting is massively simplified: because the page is no longer uncharged as early as swap cache deletion, a new mem_cgroup_swapout() can transfer the page's memory+swap charge (PCG_MEMSW) to the swap entry before the final put_page() in page reclaim. Finally, page_cgroup changes are now protected by whatever protection the page itself offers: anonymous pages are charged under the page table lock, whereas page cache insertions, swapin, and migration hold the page lock. Uncharging happens under full exclusion with no outstanding references. Charging and uncharging also ensure that the page is off-LRU, which serializes against charge migration. Remove the very costly page_cgroup lock and set pc->flags non-atomically.

2014-08-08mm: memcontrol: rewrite charge APIJohannes Weiner
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).

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.

2014-06-04swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_headDan Streetman
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.

2014-06-04swap: change swap_info singly-linked list to list_headDan Streetman
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.

2013-10-16swap: fix set_blocksize race during swapon/swapoffKrzysztof Kozlowski
Fix race between swapoff and swapon. Swapoff used old_block_size from swap_info outside of swapon_mutex so it could be overwritten by concurrent swapon. The race has visible effect only if more than one swap block device exists with different block sizes (e.g. /dev/sda1 with block size 4096 and /dev/sdb1 with 512). In such case it leads to setting the blocksize of swapped off device with wrong blocksize. The bug can be triggered with multiple concurrent swapoff and swapon: 0. Swap for some device is on. 1. swapoff: First the swapoff is called on this device and "struct swap_info_struct *p" is assigned. This is done under swap_lock however this lock is released for the call try_to_unuse(). 2. swapon: After the assignment above (and before acquiring swapon_mutex & swap_lock by swapoff) the swapon is called on the same device. The p->old_block_size is assigned to the value of block_size the device. This block size should be the same as previous but sometimes it is not. The swapon ends successfully. 3. swapoff: Swapoff resumes, grabs the locks and mutex and continues to disable this swap device. Now it sets the block size to value taken from swap_info which was overwritten by swapon in 2.

2013-09-11swap: make cluster allocation per-cpuShaohua Li
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.

2013-09-11swap: fix races exposed by swap discardShaohua Li
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.

2013-09-11swap: make swap discard asyncShaohua Li
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.

2013-09-11swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSDShaohua Li
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).

2013-08-13mm: save soft-dirty bits on swapped pagesCyrill Gorcunov
Andy Lutomirski reported that if a page with _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit set get swapped out, the bit is getting lost and no longer available when pte read back. To resolve this we introduce _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit which is saved in pte entry for the page being swapped out. When such page is to be read back from a swap cache we check for bit presence and if it's there we clear it and restore the former _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit back. One of the problem was to find a place in pte entry where we can save the _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit while page is in swap. The _PAGE_PSE was chosen for that, it doesn't intersect with swap entry format stored in pte.

2013-07-03swap: discard while swapping only if SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGESRafael Aquini
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.

2013-06-12frontswap: fix incorrect zeroing and allocation size for frontswap_mapAkinobu Mita
The bitmap accessed by bitops must have enough size to hold the required numbers of bits rounded up to a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG. And the bitmap must not be zeroed by memset() if the number of bits cleared is not a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG. This fixes incorrect zeroing and allocation size for frontswap_map. The incorrect zeroing part doesn't cause any problem because frontswap_map is freed just after zeroing. But the wrongly calculated allocation size may cause the problem. For 32bit systems, the allocation size of frontswap_map is about twice as large as required size. For 64bit systems, the allocation size is smaller than requeired if the number of bits is not a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG.

Frontswap initialization routine depends on swap_lock, which want to be atomic about frontswap's first appearance. IOW, frontswap is not present and will fail all calls OR frontswap is fully functional but if new swap_info_struct isn't registered by enable_swap_info, swap subsystem doesn't start I/O so there is no race between init procedure and page I/O working on frontswap.

2013-02-23mm,ksm: swapoff might need to copyHugh Dickins
Before establishing that KSM page migration was the cause of my WARN_ON_ONCE(page_mapped(page))s, I suspected that they came from the lack of a ksm_might_need_to_copy() in swapoff's unuse_pte() - which in many respects is equivalent to faulting in a page. In fact I've never caught that as the cause: but in theory it does at least need the KSM_RUN_UNMERGE check in ksm_might_need_to_copy(), to avoid bringing a KSM page back in when it's not supposed to be. I intended to copy how it's done in do_swap_page(), but have a strong aversion to how "swapcache" ends up being used there: rework it with "page != swapcache".

2013-02-23swap: add per-partition lock for swapfileShaohua Li
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.

2013-02-23swap: make each swap partition have one address_spaceShaohua Li
When I use several fast SSD to do swap, swapper_space.tree_lock is heavily contended. This makes each swap partition have one address_space to reduce the lock contention. There is an array of address_space for swap. The swap entry type is the index to the array. In my test with 3 SSD, this increases the swapout throughput 20%.

2012-12-11mm, oom: fix race when specifying a thread as the oom originDavid Rientjes
test_set_oom_score_adj() and compare_swap_oom_score_adj() are used to specify that current should be killed first if an oom condition occurs in between the two calls. The usage is short oom_score_adj = test_set_oom_score_adj(OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX); ... compare_swap_oom_score_adj(OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX, oom_score_adj); to store the thread's oom_score_adj, temporarily change it to the maximum score possible, and then restore the old value if it is still the same. This happens to still be racy, however, if the user writes OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX to /proc/pid/oom_score_adj in between the two calls. The compare_swap_oom_score_adj() will then incorrectly reset the old value prior to the write of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX. To fix this, introduce a new oom_flags_t member in struct signal_struct that will be used for per-thread oom killer flags. KSM and swapoff can now use a bit in this member to specify that threads should be killed first in oom conditions without playing around with oom_score_adj. This also allows the correct oom_score_adj to always be shown when reading /proc/pid/oom_score.

2012-12-11mm: do not call frontswap_init() during swapoffCesar Eduardo Barros
The call to frontswap_init() was added within enable_swap_info(), which was called not only during sys_swapon, but also to reinsert the swap_info into the swap_list in case of failure of try_to_unuse() within sys_swapoff. This means that frontswap_init() might be called more than once for the same swap area. While as far as I could see no frontswap implementation has any problem with it (and in fact, all the ones I found ignore the parameter passed to frontswap_init), this could change in the future. To prevent future problems, move the call to frontswap_init() to outside the code shared between sys_swapon and sys_swapoff.
