The comment removed in this patch originally belonged to the

Later, commit c9bff3eebc ("mm, page_alloc: rip out ZONELIST_ORDER_ZONE")
removed build_zonelists_in_zone_order() but left its comment behind.
Subsequently, commit 9d3be21bf9 ("mm, page_alloc: simplify zonelist

For each accessed chunk a PTE is created. More than 1GiB of PTEs is used
in this way. Remove each PTE after validating a chunk to reduce peak
memory usage.
It is important to only unmap memory that previously mmap()ed, as
unmapping other mappings like the stack, heap or executable mappings will
crash the process.
The mappings read from /proc/self/maps and the return values from mmap()
don't allow a simple correlation due to merging and no guaranteed order.
To correlate the pointers and mappings use prctl(PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME).
While it introduces a test dependency, other alternatives would introduce
runtime or development overhead.

Add RWF_DONTCACHE as a read operation flag, which means that any data read
wil be removed from the page cache upon completion. Uses the page cache
to synchronize, and simply prunes folios that were instantiated when the
operation completes. While it would be possible to use private pages for
this, using the page cache as synchronization is handy for a variety of
reasons:
1) No special truncate magic is needed
2) Async buffered reads need some place to serialize, using the page
cache is a lot easier than writing extra code for this
3) The pruning cost is pretty reasonable
and the code to support this is much simpler as a result.
You can think of uncached buffered IO as being the much more attractive
cousin of O_DIRECT - it has none of the restrictions of O_DIRECT. Yes, it
will copy the data, but unlike regular buffered IO, it doesn't run into
the unpredictability of the page cache in terms of reclaim. As an
example, on a test box with 32 drives, reading them with buffered IO looks
as follows:
Reading bs 65536, uncached 0
1s: 145945MB/sec
2s: 158067MB/sec
3s: 157007MB/sec

10s: 95178MB/sec
11s: 95488MB/sec
12s: 95552MB/sec
13s: 96275MB/sec
where it's quite easy to see where the page cache filled up, and
performance went from good to erratic, and finally settles at a much
lower rate. Looking at top while this is ongoing, we see:

which is just showing a partial list of the 32 kswapd threads that are
running mostly full tilt, burning ~28 full CPU cores.
If the same test case is run with RWF_DONTCACHE set for the buffered read,
the output looks as follows:

Add a folio_unmap_invalidate() helper, which unmaps and invalidates a
given folio. The caller must already have locked the folio. Embed the
old invalidate_complete_folio2() helper in there as well, as nobody else
calls it.
Use this new helper in invalidate_inode_pages2_range(), rather than
duplicate the code there.
In preparation for using this elsewhere as well, have it take a gfp_t mask
rather than assume GFP_KERNEL is the right choice. This bubbles back to
invalidate_complete_folio2() as well.

Patch series "Uncached buffered IO", v8.
5 years ago I posted patches adding support for RWF_UNCACHED, as a way to
do buffered IO that isn't page cache persistent. The approach back then
was to have private pages for IO, and then get rid of them once IO was
done. But that then runs into all the issues that O_DIRECT has, in terms
of synchronizing with the page cache.
So here's a new approach to the same concent, but using the page cache as
synchronization. Due to excessive bike shedding on the naming, this is
now named RWF_DONTCACHE, and is less special in that it's just page cache
IO, except it prunes the ranges once IO is completed.
Why do this, you may ask? The tldr is that device speeds are only getting
faster, while reclaim is not. Doing normal buffered IO can be very
unpredictable, and suck up a lot of resources on the reclaim side. This
leads people to use O_DIRECT as a work-around, which has its own set of
restrictions in terms of size, offset, and length of IO. It's also
inherently synchronous, and now you need async IO as well. While the
latter isn't necessarily a big problem as we have good options available
there, it also should not be a requirement when all you want to do is read
or write some data without caching.
Even on desktop type systems, a normal NVMe device can fill the entire
page cache in seconds. On the big system I used for testing, there's a
lot more RAM, but also a lot more devices. As can be seen in some of the
results in the following patches, you can still fill RAM in seconds even
when there's 1TB of it. Hence this problem isn't solely a "big
hyperscaler system" issue, it's common across the board.
Common for both reads and writes with RWF_DONTCACHE is that they use the
page cache for IO. Reads work just like a normal buffered read would,
with the only exception being that the touched ranges will get pruned
after data has been copied. For writes, the ranges will get writeback
kicked off before the syscall returns, and then writeback completion will
prune the range. Hence writes aren't synchronous, and it's easy to
pipeline writes using RWF_DONTCACHE. Folios that aren't instantiated by
RWF_DONTCACHE IO are left untouched. This means you that uncached IO will
take advantage of the page cache for uptodate data, but not leave anything
it instantiated/created in cache.
File systems need to support this. This patchset adds support for the
generic read path, which covers file systems like ext4. Patches exist to
add support for iomap/XFS and btrfs as well, which sit on top of this
series. If RWF_DONTCACHE IO is attempted on a file system that doesn't
support it, -EOPNOTSUPP is returned. Hence the user can rely on it either
working as designed, or flagging and error if that's not the case. The
intent here is to give the application a sensible fallback path - eg, it
may fall back to O_DIRECT if appropriate, or just live with the fact that
uncached IO isn't available and do normal buffered IO.
Adding "support" to other file systems should be trivial, most of the time
just a one-liner adding FOP_DONTCACHE to the fop_flags in the
file_operations struct, if the file system is using either iomap or the
generic filemap helpers for reading and writing.
Performance results are in patch 8 for reads, and you can find the write
side results in the XFS patch adding support for DONTCACHE writes for XFS:
https://git.kernel.dk/cgit/linux/commit/?h=buffered-uncached-fs.10&id=257e92de795fdff7d7e256501e024fac6da6a7f4
with the tldr being that I see about a 65% improvement in performance for
both, with fully predictable IO times. CPU reduction is substantial as
well, with no kswapd activity at all for reclaim when using uncached IO.
Using it from applications is trivial - just set RWF_DONTCACHE for the
read or write, using pwritev2(2) or preadv2(2). For io_uring, same thing,
just set RWF_DONTCACHE in sqe->rw_flags for a buffered read/write
operation. And that's it.
Patches 1..7 are just prep patches, and should have no functional changes
at all. Patch 8 adds support for the filemap path for RWF_DONTCACHE
reads, and patches 9..12 are just prep patches for supporting the write
side of uncached writes. In the below mentioned branch, there are then
patches to adopt uncached reads and writes for xfs, btrfs, and ext4. The
latter currently relies on bit of a hack for passing whether this is an
uncached write or not through ->write_begin(), which can hopefully go away
once ext4 adopts iomap for buffered writes. I say this is a hack as it's
not the prettiest way to do it, however it is fully solid and will work
just fine.
Passes full xfstests and fsx overnight runs, no issues observed. That
includes the vm running the testing also using RWF_DONTCACHE on the host.
I'll post fsstress and fsx patches for RWF_DONTCACHE separately. As far
as I'm concerned, no further work needs doing here.
And git tree for the patches is here:
https://git.kernel.dk/cgit/linux/log/?h=buffered-uncached.10
with the file system patches on top adding support for xfs/btrfs/ext4
here:
https://git.kernel.dk/cgit/linux/log/?h=buffered-uncached-fs.10
This patch (of 12):
Rather than pass in both the file and position directly from the kiocb,
just take a struct kiocb instead. With the kiocb being passed in, skip
passing in the address_space separately as well. While doing so, move the
ki_flags checking into filemap_create_folio() as well. In preparation for
actually needing the kiocb in the function.
No functional changes in this patch.

We replaced a simple put_page() by a putback_active_hugepage() call in
commit 3aaa76e125 ("mm: migrate: hugetlb: putback destination hugepage
to active list"), to set the "active" flag on the dst hugetlb folio.
Nowadays, we decoupled the "active" list from the flag, by calling the
flag "migratable".
Calling "putback" on something that wasn't allocated is weird and not
future proof, especially if we might reach that path when migration failed
and we just want to free the freshly allocated hugetlb folio.
Let's simply handle the migratable flag and the active list flag in
move_hugetlb_state(), where we know that allocation succeeded and already
handle the temporary flag; use a simple folio_put() to return our
reference.
