random.h is not needed since commit 6c542ab757 ("mm/demotion: build
demotion targets based on explicit memory tiers"), all functions moved
into memory-tiers.
nsproxy.h is not needed since commit 228ebcbe63 ("Uninline

find_task_by_vpid() now.
hugetlb_cgroup.h is not needed since commit ab5ac90aec ("mm, hugetlb: do
not rely on overcommit limit during migration"), move_hugetlb_state() is
called and it belongs to hugetlb.h, which is already included.
balloon_compaction.h, we have more general movable_operations for non-lru
movable page migration, so it could be dropped.
memremap.h, userfaultfd_k.h and oom.h are introduced for zone device page
migration, but all functions are moved into migrate_device.c, so no needed

out from rcu_read_lock() scope, this is ok because it actually does not

ptrace_may_access() can use the task safely, like what

The aggregation interval of test purpose damon_attrs for
damon_test_nr_accesses_to_accesses_bp() becomes zero on 32 bit
architecture, since size of int and long types are same. As a result,
damon_nr_accesses_to_accesses_bp() call with the test data triggers
divide-by-zero exception. damon_nr_accesses_to_accesses_bp() shouldn't
be called with such data, and the non-test code avoids that by checking
the case on damon_update_monitoring_results(). Skip the test code in
the case, and add an explicit caution of the case on the comment for the

PGFREE is currently updated in two code paths:
- __free_pages_ok(): for pages freed to the buddy allocator.
- free_unref_page_commit(): for pages freed to the pcplists.
Before commit df1acc8569 ("mm/page_alloc: avoid conflating IRQs disabled
with zone->lock"), free_unref_page_commit() used to fallback to freeing
isolated pages directly to the buddy allocator through free_one_page().
This was done _after_ updating PGFREE, so the counter was correctly
updated.
However, that commit moved the fallback logic to its callers (now called
free_unref_page() and free_unref_folios()), so PGFREE was no longer
updated in this fallback case.
Now that the code has developed, there are more cases in free_unref_page()
and free_unref_folios() where we fallback to calling free_one_page() (e.g.
!pcp_allowed_order(), pcp_spin_trylock() fails). These cases also miss
updating PGFREE.
To make sure PGFREE is updated in all cases where pages are freed to the
buddy allocator, move the update down the stack to free_one_page().
This was noticed through code inspection, although it should be noticeable
at runtime (at least with some workloads).

damon_test_three_regions_in_vmas() initializes a maple tree with
MM_MT_FLAGS. The flags contains MT_FLAGS_LOCK_EXTERN, which means mt_lock
of the maple tree will not be used. And therefore the maple tree
initialization code skips initialization of the mt_lock. However,
__link_vmas(), which adds vmas for test to the maple tree, uses the
mt_lock. In other words, the uninitialized spinlock is used. The problem
becomes clear when spinlock debugging is turned on, since it reports
spinlock bad magic bug.
Fix the issue by excluding MT_FLAGS_LOCK_EXTERN from the maple tree
initialization flags. Note that we don't use empty flags to make it
further similar to the usage of mm maple tree, and to be prepared for
possible future changes, as suggested by Liam.

Immutable params never change once comp has been allocated and setup, so
we don't need to store multiple copies of them in each per-CPU backend
context. Move those to per-comp zcomp_params and pass it to backends
callbacks for requests execution. Basically, this means parameters
sharing between different contexts.
Also introduce two new backends callbacks: setup_params() and
release_params(). First, we need to validate params in a driver-specific
way; second, driver may want to allocate its specific representation of
the params which is needed to execute requests.

When page del from buddy and need expand, it will account free_pages in
zone's migratetype.
The current way is to subtract the page number of the current order when
deleting, and then add it back when expanding.
This is unnecessary, as when migrating the same type, we can directly
record the difference between the high-order pages and the expand added,
and then subtract it directly.
This patch merge that, only when del and expand done, then account
free_pages.

This is an attempt to mitigate the issue of running out of memory when THP
is always enabled. During runtime whenever a THP is being faulted in
(__do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page) or collapsed by khugepaged
(collapse_huge_page), the THP is added to _deferred_list. Whenever memory
reclaim happens in linux, the kernel runs the deferred_split shrinker
which goes through the _deferred_list.
If the folio was partially mapped, the shrinker attempts to split it. If
the folio is not partially mapped, the shrinker checks if the THP was
underused, i.e. how many of the base 4K pages of the entire THP were
zero-filled. If this number goes above a certain threshold (decided by
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_none), the
shrinker will attempt to split that THP. Then at remap time, the pages
that were zero-filled are mapped to the shared zeropage, hence saving
memory.

Patch series "mm: split underused THPs", v5.
The current upstream default policy for THP is always. However, Meta uses
madvise in production as the current THP=always policy vastly
overprovisions THPs in sparsely accessed memory areas, resulting in
excessive memory pressure and premature OOM killing. Using madvise +
relying on khugepaged has certain drawbacks over THP=always. Using
madvise hints mean THPs aren't "transparent" and require userspace
changes. Waiting for khugepaged to scan memory and collapse pages into
THP can be slow and unpredictable in terms of performance (i.e. you dont
know when the collapse will happen), while production environments require
predictable performance. If there is enough memory available, its better
for both performance and predictability to have a THP from fault time,
i.e. THP=always rather than wait for khugepaged to collapse it, and deal
with sparsely populated THPs when the system is running out of memory.
This patch series is an attempt to mitigate the issue of running out of
memory when THP is always enabled. During runtime whenever a THP is being
faulted in or collapsed by khugepaged, the THP is added to a list.
Whenever memory reclaim happens, the kernel runs the deferred_split
shrinker which goes through the list and checks if the THP was underused,
i.e. how many of the base 4K pages of the entire THP were zero-filled.
If this number goes above a certain threshold, the shrinker will attempt
to split that THP. Then at remap time, the pages that were zero-filled
are mapped to the shared zeropage, hence saving memory. This method
avoids the downside of wasting memory in areas where THP is sparsely
filled when THP is always enabled, while still providing the upside THPs
like reduced TLB misses without having to use madvise.
Meta production workloads that were CPU bound (>99% CPU utilzation) were
tested with THP shrinker. The results after 2 hours are as follows:
| THP=madvise | THP=always | THP=always
| | | + shrinker series
| | | + max_ptes_none=409
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Performance improvement | - | +1.8% | +1.7%
(over THP=madvise) | | |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Memory usage | 54.6G | 58.8G (+7.7%) | 55.9G (+2.4%)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
max_ptes_none=409 means that any THP that has more than 409 out of 512
(80%) zero filled filled pages will be split.
To test out the patches, the below commands without the shrinker will
invoke OOM killer immediately and kill stress, but will not fail with the
shrinker:
echo 450 > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/max_ptes_none
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cgroup.procs
echo 20M > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.max
echo 0 > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.swap.max
# allocate twice memory.max for each stress worker and touch 40/512 of
# each THP, i.e. vm-stride 50K.
# With the shrinker, max_ptes_none of 470 and below won't invoke OOM
# killer.
# Without the shrinker, OOM killer is invoked immediately irrespective
# of max_ptes_none value and kills stress.
stress --vm 1 --vm-bytes 40M --vm-stride 50K
This patch (of 5):
Here being unused means containing only zeros and inaccessible to
userspace. When splitting an isolated thp under reclaim or migration, the
unused subpages can be mapped to the shared zeropage, hence saving memory.
This is particularly helpful when the internal fragmentation of a thp is
high, i.e. it has many untouched subpages.
This is also a prerequisite for THP low utilization shrinker which will be
introduced in later patches, where underutilized THPs are split, and the
zero-filled pages are freed saving memory.
