Since commit e509ad4d77 ("ext4: use bdev_getblk() to avoid memory
reclaim in readahead path") rightly replaced GFP_NOFAIL allocations by
GFP_NOWAIT allocations, I've occasionally been seeing "page allocation
failure: order:0" warnings under load: all with
ext4_sb_breadahead_unmovable() in the stack. I don't think those warnings
are of any interest: suppress them with __GFP_NOWARN.

When doing compaction, I found the lru_add_drain() is an obvious hotspot
when migrating pages. The distribution of this hotspot is as follows:
- 18.75% compact_zone
- 17.39% migrate_pages
- 13.79% migrate_pages_batch
- 11.66% migrate_folio_move
- 7.02% lru_add_drain
+ 7.02% lru_add_drain_cpu
+ 3.00% move_to_new_folio
1.23% rmap_walk
+ 1.92% migrate_folio_unmap
+ 3.20% migrate_pages_sync
+ 0.90% isolate_migratepages
The lru_add_drain() was added by commit c3096e6782 ("mm/migrate:
__unmap_and_move() push good newpage to LRU") to drain the newpage to LRU
immediately, to help to build up the correct newpage->mlock_count in
remove_migration_ptes() for mlocked pages. However, if there are no
mlocked pages are migrating, then we can avoid this lru drain operation,
especailly for the heavy concurrent scenarios.
So we can record the source pages' mlocked status in
migrate_folio_unmap(), and only drain the lru list when the mlocked status
is set in migrate_folio_move().
In addition, the page was already isolated from lru when migrating, so
checking the mlocked status is stable by folio_test_mlocked() in
migrate_folio_unmap().
After this patch, I can see the hotpot of the lru_add_drain() is gone:
- 9.41% migrate_pages_batch
- 6.15% migrate_folio_move
- 3.64% move_to_new_folio
+ 1.80% migrate_folio_extra
+ 1.70% buffer_migrate_folio
+ 1.41% rmap_walk
+ 0.62% folio_add_lru
+ 3.07% migrate_folio_unmap
Meanwhile, the compaction latency shows some improvements when running

For compound pages, the head sets the PG_head flag and the tail sets the
compound_head to indicate the head page. If a user allocates a compound
page and frees it with a different order, the compound page information
will not be properly initialized. To detect this problem,
compound_order(page) and the order argument are compared, but this is not
checked when the order argument is zero. That error should be checked
regardless of the order.

nr_failed was missing the large folio splits from migrate_pages_batch()
and can cause a mismatch between migrate_pages() return value and the
number of not migrated pages, i.e., when the return value of
migrate_pages() is 0, there are still pages left in the from page list.
It will happen when a non-PMD THP large folio fails to migrate due to
-ENOMEM and is split successfully but not all the split pages are not
migrated, migrate_pages_batch() would return non-zero, but
astats.nr_thp_split = 0. nr_failed would be 0 and returned to the caller
of migrate_pages(), but the not migrated pages are left in the from page
list without being added back to LRU lists.
Fix it by adding a new nr_split counter for large folio splits and adding
it to nr_failed in migrate_page_sync() after migrate_pages_batch() is
done.

Patch series "mm: convert page cpupid functions to folios", v3.
The cpupid(or access time) used by numa balancing is stored in flags or
_last_cpupid(if LAST_CPUPID_NOT_IN_PAGE_FLAGS) of page, this is to convert
page cpupid to folio cpupid, a new _last_cpupid is added into folio, which
make us to use folio->_last_cpupid directly, and the page cpupid functions
are converted to folio ones.
page_cpupid_last() -> folio_last_cpupid()
xchg_page_access_time() -> folio_xchg_access_time()
page_cpupid_xchg_last() -> folio_xchg_last_cpupid()
This patch (of 19):
If WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL and LAST_CPUPID_NOT_IN_PAGE_FLAGS defined, the
'virtual' and '_last_cpupid' are in struct page, and since _last_cpupid is
used by numa balancing feature, it is better to move it before KMSAN
metadata from struct page, also add them into struct folio to make us to
access them from folio directly.

To charge a freshly allocated kernel object to a memory cgroup, the kernel
needs to obtain an objcg pointer. Currently it does it indirectly by
obtaining the memcg pointer first and then calling to
__get_obj_cgroup_from_memcg().
Usually tasks spend their entire life belonging to the same object cgroup.
So it makes sense to save the objcg pointer on task_struct directly, so
it can be obtained faster. It requires some work on fork, exit and cgroup
migrate paths, but these paths are way colder.
To avoid any costly synchronization the following rules are applied:
1) A task sets it's objcg pointer itself.
2) If a task is being migrated to another cgroup, the least
significant bit of the objcg pointer is set atomically.
3) On the allocation path the objcg pointer is obtained locklessly
using the READ_ONCE() macro and the least significant bit is
checked. If it's set, the following procedure is used to update
it locklessly:
- task->objcg is zeroed using cmpxcg
- new objcg pointer is obtained
- task->objcg is updated using try_cmpxchg
- operation is repeated if try_cmpxcg fails
It guarantees that no updates will be lost if task migration
is racing against objcg pointer update. It also allows to keep
both read and write paths fully lockless.
Because the task is keeping a reference to the objcg, it can't go away
while the task is alive.
This commit doesn't change the way the remote memcg charging works.

Patch series "mm: improve performance of accounted kernel memory
allocations", v5.
This patchset improves the performance of accounted kernel memory
allocations by ~30% as measured by a micro-benchmark [1]. The benchmark
is very straightforward: 1M of 64 bytes-large kmalloc() allocations.
Below are results with the disabled kernel memory accounting, the original state
and with this patchset applied.
| | Kmem disabled | Original | Patched | Delta |
|-------------+---------------+----------+---------+--------|
| User cgroup | 29764 | 84548 | 59078 | -30.0% |
| Root cgroup | 29742 | 48342 | 31501 | -34.8% |
As we can see, the patchset removes the majority of the overhead when
there is no actual accounting (a task belongs to the root memory cgroup)
and almost halves the accounting overhead otherwise.
The main idea is to get rid of unnecessary memcg to objcg conversions and
switch to a scope-based protection of objcgs, which eliminates extra
operations with objcg reference counters under a rcu read lock. More
details are provided in individual commit descriptions.
This patch (of 5):
Manually inline memcg_kmem_bypass() and active_memcg() to speed up
get_obj_cgroup_from_current() by avoiding duplicate in_task() checks and
active_memcg() readings.
Also add a likely() macro to __get_obj_cgroup_from_memcg():
obj_cgroup_tryget() should succeed at almost all times except a very
unlikely race with the memcg deletion path.

In current PCP auto-tuning design, if the number of pages allocated is
much more than that of pages freed on a CPU, the PCP high may become the
maximal value even if the allocating/freeing depth is small, for example,
in the sender of network workloads. If a CPU was used as sender
originally, then it is used as receiver after context switching, we need
to fill the whole PCP with maximal high before triggering PCP draining for
consecutive high order freeing. This will hurt the performance of some
network workloads.
To solve the issue, in this patch, we will track the consecutive page
freeing with a counter in stead of relying on PCP draining. So, we can
detect consecutive page freeing much earlier.
On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, we tested
SCTP_STREAM_MANY test case of netperf test suite with 64-pair processes.
With the patch, the network bandwidth improves 5.0%. This restores the
performance drop caused by PCP auto-tuning.

One target of PCP is to minimize pages in PCP if the system free pages is
too few. To reach that target, when page reclaiming is active for the
zone (ZONE_RECLAIM_ACTIVE), we will stop increasing PCP high in allocating
path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. But this may
be too late because the background page reclaiming may introduce latency
for some workloads. So, in this patch, during page allocation we will
detect whether the number of free pages of the zone is below high
watermark. If so, we will stop increasing PCP high in allocating path,
decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. With this, we can
reduce the possibility of the premature background page reclaiming caused
by too large PCP.
The high watermark checking is done in allocating path to reduce the
overhead in hotter freeing path.
