      mm, proc: report PR_SET_THP_DISABLE in proc · a1400af7
      Michal Hocko authored
      David Rientjes has reported that commit 18600332 ("mm: make
      PR_SET_THP_DISABLE immediately active") has changed the way how we
      report THPable VMAs to the userspace.  Their monitoring tool is
      triggering false alarms on PR_SET_THP_DISABLE tasks because it considers
      an insufficient THP usage as a memory fragmentation resp.  memory
      pressure issue.
      
      Before the said commit each newly created VMA inherited VM_NOHUGEPAGE
      flag and that got exposed to the userspace via /proc/<pid>/smaps file.
      This implementation had its downsides as explained in the commit message
      but it is true that the userspace doesn't have any means to query for
      the process wide THP enabled/disabled status.
      
      PR_SET_THP_DISABLE is a process wide flag so it makes a lot of sense to
      export in the process wide context rather than per-vma.  Introduce a new
      field to /proc/<pid>/status which export this status.  If
      PR_SET_THP_DISABLE is used then it reports false same as when the THP is
      not compiled in.  It doesn't consider the global THP status because we
      already export that information via sysfs

      mm, thp, proc: report THP eligibility for each vma · 7635d9cb
      Michal Hocko authored
      Userspace falls short when trying to find out whether a specific memory
      range is eligible for THP.  There are usecases that would like to know
      that
      http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.21.1809251248450.50347@chino.kir.corp.google.com
      : This is used to identify heap mappings that should be able to fault thp
      : but do not, and they normally point to a low-on-memory or fragmentation
      : issue.
      
      The only way to deduce this now is to query for hg resp.  nh flags and
      confronting the state with the global setting.  Except that there is also
      PR_SET_THP_DISABLE that might change the picture.  So the final logic is
      not trivial.  Moreover the eligibility of the vma depends on the type of
      VMA as well.  In the past we have supported only anononymous memory VMAs
      but things have changed and shmem based vmas are supported as well these
      days and the query logic gets even more complicated because the
      eligibility depends on the mount option and another global configuration
      knob.
      
      Simplify the current state and report the THP eligibility in
      /proc/<pid>/smaps for each existing vma.  Reuse
      transparent_hugepage_enabled for this purpose.  The original
      implementation of this function assumes that the caller knows that the vma
      itself is supported for THP so make the core checks into
      __transparent_hugepage_enabled and use it for existing callers.
      __show_smap just use the new transparent_hugepage_enabled which also
      checks the vma support status (please note that this one has to be out of
      line due to include dependency issues).

      mm, proc: be more verbose about unstable VMA flags in /proc/<pid>/smaps · 7550c607
      Michal Hocko authored
      Patch series "THP eligibility reporting via proc".
      
      This series of three patches aims at making THP eligibility reporting much
      more robust and long term sustainable.  The trigger for the change is a
      regression report [2] and the long follow up discussion.  In short the
      specific application didn't have good API to query whether a particular
      mapping can be backed by THP so it has used VMA flags to workaround that.
      These flags represent a deep internal state of VMAs and as such they
      should be used by userspace with a great deal of caution.
      
      A similar has happened for [3] when users complained that VM_MIXEDMAP is
      no longer set on DAX mappings.  Again a lack of a proper API led to an
      abuse.
      
      The first patch in the series tries to emphasise that that the semantic of
      flags might change and any application consuming those should be really
      careful.
      
      The remaining two patches provide a more suitable interface to address [2]
      and provide a consistent API to query the THP status both for each VMA and
      process wide as well.  [1]
      
      http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181120103515.25280-1-mhocko@kernel.org [2]
      http://lkml.kernel.org/r/http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.21.1809241054050.224429@chino.kir.corp.google.com
      [3] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181002100531.GC4135@quack2.suse.cz
      
      This patch (of 3):
      
      Even though vma flags exported via /proc/<pid>/smaps are explicitly
      documented to be not guaranteed for future compatibility the warning
      doesn't go far enough because it doesn't mention semantic changes to those
      flags.  And they are important as well because these flags are a deep
      implementation internal to the MM code and the semantic might change at
      any time.
      
      Let's consider two recent examples:
      http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181002100531.GC4135@quack2.suse.cz
      : commit e1fb4a08 "dax: remove VM_MIXEDMAP for fsdax and device dax" has
      : removed VM_MIXEDMAP flag from DAX VMAs. Now our testing shows that in the
      : mean time certain customer of ours started poking into /proc/<pid>/smaps
      : and looks at VMA flags there and if VM_MIXEDMAP is missing among the VMA
      : flags, the application just fails to start complaining that DAX support is
      : missing in the kernel.
      
      http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.21.1809241054050.224429@chino.kir.corp.google.com
      : Commit 18600332 ("mm: make PR_SET_THP_DISABLE immediately active")
      : introduced a regression in that userspace cannot always determine the set
      : of vmas where thp is ineligible.
      : Userspace relies on the "nh" flag being emitted as part of /proc/pid/smaps
      : to determine if a vma is eligible to be backed by hugepages.
      : Previous to this commit, prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, 1) would cause thp to
      : be disabled and emit "nh" as a flag for the corresponding vmas as part of
      : /proc/pid/smaps.  After the commit, thp is disabled by means of an mm
      : flag and "nh" is not emitted.
      : This causes smaps parsing libraries to assume a vma is eligible for thp
      : and ends up puzzling the user on why its memory is not backed by thp.
      
      In both cases userspace was relying on a semantic of a specific VMA flag.
      The primary reason why that happened is a lack of a proper interface.
      While this has been worked on and it will be fixed properly, it seems that
      our wording could see some refinement and be more vocal about semantic
      aspect of these flags as well.

      zram: writeback throttle · bb416d18
      Minchan Kim authored
      If there are lots of write IO with flash device, it could have a
      wearout problem of storage. To overcome the problem, admin needs
      to design write limitation to guarantee flash health
      for entire product life.
      
      This patch creates a new knob "writeback_limit" for zram.
      
      writeback_limit's default value is 0 so that it doesn't limit
      any writeback. If admin want to measure writeback count in a
      certain period, he could know it via /sys/block/zram0/bd_stat's
      3rd column.
      
      If admin want to limit writeback as per-day 400M, he could do it
      like below.
      
      	MB_SHIFT=20
      	4K_SHIFT=12
      	echo $((400<<MB_SHIFT>>4K_SHIFT)) > \
      		/sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit.
      
      If admin want to allow further write again, he could do it like below
      
      	echo 0 > /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit
      
      If admin want to see remaining writeback budget,
      
      	cat /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit
      
      The writeback_limit count will reset whenever you reset zram (e.g., system
      reboot, echo 1 > /sys/block/zramX/reset) so keeping how many of writeback
      happened until you reset the zram to allocate extra writeback budget in
      next setting is user's job.

      zram: support idle/huge page writeback · a939888e
      Minchan Kim authored
      Add a new feature "zram idle/huge page writeback".  In the zram-swap use
      case, zram usually has many idle/huge swap pages.  It's pointless to keep
      them in memory (ie, zram).
      
      To solve this problem, this feature introduces idle/huge page writeback to
      the backing device so the goal is to save more memory space on embedded
      systems.
      
      Normal sequence to use idle/huge page writeback feature is as follows,
      
      while (1) {
              # mark allocated zram slot to idle
              echo all > /sys/block/zram0/idle
              # leave system working for several hours
              # Unless there is no access for some blocks on zram,
      	# they are still IDLE marked pages.
      
              echo "idle" > /sys/block/zram0/writeback
      	or/and
      	echo "huge" > /sys/block/zram0/writeback
              # write the IDLE or/and huge marked slot into backing device
      	# and free the memory.
      }
      
      Per the discussion at
      https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181122065926.GG3441@jagdpanzerIV/T/#u,
      
      This patch removes direct incommpressibe page writeback feature
      (d2afd25114f4 ("zram: write incompressible pages to backing device")).
      
      Below concerns from Sergey:
      == &< ==
      
      "IDLE writeback" is superior to "incompressible writeback".
      
      "incompressible writeback" is completely unpredictable and uncontrollable;
      it depens on data patterns and compression algorithms.  While "IDLE
      writeback" is predictable.
      
      I even suspect, that, *ideally*, we can remove "incompressible writeback".
      "IDLE pages" is a super set which also includes "incompressible" pages.
      So, technically, we still can do "incompressible writeback" from "IDLE
      writeback" path; but a much more reasonable one, based on a page idling
      period.
      
      I understand that you want to keep "direct incompressible writeback"
      around.  ZRAM is especially popular on devices which do suffer from flash
      wearout, so I can see "incompressible writeback" path becoming a dead
      code, long term.
      
      == &< ==
      
      Below concerns from Minchan:
      == &< ==
      
      My concern is if we enable CONFIG_ZRAM_WRITEBACK in this implementation,
      both hugepage/idlepage writeck will turn on.  However someuser want to
      enable only idlepage writeback so we need to introduce turn on/off knob
      for hugepage or new CONFIG_ZRAM_IDLEPAGE_WRITEBACK for those usecase.  I
      don't want to make it complicated *if possible*.
      
      Long term, I imagine we need to make VM aware of new swap hierarchy a
      little bit different with as-is.  For example, first high priority swap
      can return -EIO or -ENOCOMP, swap try to fallback to next lower priority
      swap device.  With that, hugepage writeback will work tranparently.
      
      So we could regard it as regression because incompressible pages doesn't
      go to backing storage automatically.  Instead, user should do it via "echo
      huge" > /sys/block/zram/writeback" manually.

      zram: introduce ZRAM_IDLE flag · e82592c4
      Minchan Kim authored
      To support idle page writeback with upcoming patches, this patch
      introduces a new ZRAM_IDLE flag.
      
      Userspace can mark zram slots as "idle" via
      	"echo all > /sys/block/zramX/idle"
      which marks every allocated zram slot as ZRAM_IDLE.
      User could see it by /sys/kernel/debug/zram/zram0/block_state.
      
                300    75.033841 ...i

                302    63.806919 ..hi
      
      Once there is IO for the slot, the mark will be disappeared.
      
      	  300    75.033841 ...

                302    63.806919 ..hi
      
      Therefore, 300th block is idle zpage. With this feature,
      user can how many zram has idle pages which are waste of memory.

      mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs · 1c30844d
      Mel Gorman authored
      An external fragmentation event was previously described as
      
          When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using
          the mm_page_alloc_extfrag event. If the fallback_order is smaller
          than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered
          an event that will cause external fragmentation issues in the future.
      
      The kernel reduces the probability of such events by increasing the
      watermark sizes by calling set_recommended_min_free_kbytes early in the
      lifetime of the system.  This works reasonably well in general but if
      there are enough sparsely populated pageblocks then the problem can still
      occur as enough memory is free overall and kswapd stays asleep.
      
      This patch introduces a watermark_boost_factor sysctl that allows a zone
      watermark to be temporarily boosted when an external fragmentation causing
      events occurs.  The boosting will stall allocations that would decrease
      free memory below the boosted low watermark and kswapd is woken if the
      calling context allows to reclaim an amount of memory relative to the size
      of the high watermark and the watermark_boost_factor until the boost is
      cleared.  When kswapd finishes, it wakes kcompactd at the pageblock order
      to clean some of the pageblocks that may have been affected by the
      fragmentation event.  kswapd avoids any writeback, slab shrinkage and swap
      from reclaim context during this operation to avoid excessive system
      disruption in the name of fragmentation avoidance.  Care is taken so that
      kswapd will do normal reclaim work if the system is really low on memory.
      
      This was evaluated using the same workloads as "mm, page_alloc: Spread
      allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation".

      Note that external fragmentation causing events are massively reduced by
      this path whether in comparison to the previous kernel or the vanilla
      kernel.  The fault latency for huge pages appears to be increased but that
      is only because THP allocations were successful with the patch applied.

      There is a large reduction in fragmentation events with some jitter around
      the latencies and success rates.  As before, the high THP allocation
      success rate does mean the system is under a lot of pressure.  However, as
      the fragmentation events are reduced, it would be expected that the
      long-term allocation success rate would be higher.

      cgroup: Add named hierarchy disabling to cgroup_no_v1 boot param · 3fc9c12d
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      
      It can be useful to inhibit all cgroup1 hierarchies especially during
      transition and for debugging.  cgroup_no_v1 can block hierarchies with
      controllers which leaves out the named hierarchies.  Expand it to
      cover the named hierarchies so that "cgroup_no_v1=all,named" disables
      all cgroup1 hierarchies.

      crypto: skcipher - remove remnants of internal IV generators · c79b411e
      Eric Biggers authored
      
      
      Remove dead code related to internal IV generators, which are no longer
      used since they've been replaced with the "seqiv" and "echainiv"
      templates.  The removed code includes:
      
      - The "givcipher" (GIVCIPHER) algorithm type.  No algorithms are
        registered with this type anymore, so it's unneeded.
      
      - The "const char *geniv" member of aead_alg, ablkcipher_alg, and
        blkcipher_alg.  A few algorithms still set this, but it isn't used
        anymore except to show via /proc/crypto and CRYPTO_MSG_GETALG.
        Just hardcode "<default>" or "<none>" in those cases.
      
      - The 'skcipher_givcrypt_request' structure, which is never used.
