In some swap scalability test, it is found that there are heavy lock
contention on swap cache even if we have split one swap cache radix tree
per swap device to one swap cache radix tree every 64 MB trunk in commit
4b3ef9daa4 ("mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks").
The reason is as follow. After the swap device becomes fragmented so
that there's no free swap cluster, the swap device will be scanned
linearly to find the free swap slots. swap_info_struct->cluster_next is
the next scanning base that is shared by all CPUs. So nearby free swap
slots will be allocated for different CPUs. The probability for
multiple CPUs to operate on the same 64 MB trunk is high. This causes
the lock contention on the swap cache.
To solve the issue, in this patch, for SSD swap device, a percpu version
next scanning base (cluster_next_cpu) is added. Every CPU will use its
own per-cpu next scanning base. And after finishing scanning a 64MB
trunk, the per-cpu scanning base will be changed to the beginning of
another randomly selected 64MB trunk. In this way, the probability for
multiple CPUs to operate on the same 64 MB trunk is reduced greatly.
Thus the lock contention is reduced too. For HDD, because sequential
access is more important for IO performance, the original shared next
scanning base is used.
To test the patch, we have run 16-process pmbench memory benchmark on a
2-socket server machine with 48 cores. One ram disk is configured as the
swap device per socket. The pmbench working-set size is much larger than
the available memory so that swapping is triggered. The memory read/write
ratio is 80/20 and the accessing pattern is random. In the original
implementation, the lock contention on the swap cache is heavy. The perf
profiling data of the lock contention code path is as following,
_raw_spin_lock_irq.add_to_swap_cache.add_to_swap.shrink_page_list: 7.91
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave.__remove_mapping.shrink_page_list: 7.11
_raw_spin_lock.swapcache_free_entries.free_swap_slot.__swap_entry_free: 2.51
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave.swap_cgroup_record.mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap: 1.66
_raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_inactive_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 1.29
_raw_spin_lock.free_pcppages_bulk.drain_pages_zone.drain_pages: 1.03
_raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_active_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 0.93
After applying this patch, it becomes,
_raw_spin_lock.swapcache_free_entries.free_swap_slot.__swap_entry_free: 3.58
_raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_inactive_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 2.3
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave.swap_cgroup_record.mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap: 2.26
_raw_spin_lock_irq.shrink_active_list.shrink_lruvec.shrink_node: 1.8
_raw_spin_lock.free_pcppages_bulk.drain_pages_zone.drain_pages: 1.19
The lock contention on the swap cache is almost eliminated.
And the pmbench score increases 18.5%. The swapin throughput increases
18.7% from 2.96 GB/s to 3.51 GB/s. While the swapout throughput increases
18.5% from 2.99 GB/s to 3.54 GB/s.
We need really fast disk to show the benefit. I have tried this on 2
Intel P3600 NVMe disks. The performance improvement is only about 1%.
The improvement should be better on the faster disks, such as Intel Optane
disk.

swap_info_struct->swap_map[] encodes some flag and count. And to
do some condition check, it also introduces some special values.
Currently those macros are defined with some magic order, which makes
audience hard to understand the exact meaning.
This patch split those macros into three categories:
flag
special value for first swap_map
special value for continued swap_map
May this help audiences a little.

After an NFS page has been written it is considered "unstable" until a
COMMIT request succeeds. If the COMMIT fails, the page will be
re-written.
These "unstable" pages are currently accounted as "reclaimable", either
in WB_RECLAIMABLE, or in NR_UNSTABLE_NFS which is included in a
'reclaimable' count. This might have made sense when sending the COMMIT
required a separate action by the VFS/MM (e.g. releasepage() used to
send a COMMIT). However now that all writes generated by ->writepages()
will automatically be followed by a COMMIT (since commit 919e3bd9a8
("NFS: Ensure we commit after writeback is complete")) it makes more
sense to treat them as writeback pages.
So this patch removes NR_UNSTABLE_NFS and accounts unstable pages in
NR_WRITEBACK and WB_WRITEBACK.
A particular effect of this change is that when
wb_check_background_flush() calls wb_over_bg_threshold(), the latter
will report 'true' a lot less often as the 'unstable' pages are no
longer considered 'dirty' (as there is nothing that writeback can do
about them anyway).
Currently wb_check_background_flush() will trigger writeback to NFS even
when there are relatively few dirty pages (if there are lots of unstable
pages), this can result in small writes going to the server (10s of
Kilobytes rather than a Megabyte) which hurts throughput. With this
patch, there are fewer writes which are each larger on average.
Where the NR_UNSTABLE_NFS count was included in statistics
virtual-files, the entry is retained, but the value is hard-coded as
zero. static trace points and warning printks which mentioned this
counter no longer report it.

PF_LESS_THROTTLE exists for loop-back nfsd (and a similar need in the
loop block driver and callers of prctl(PR_SET_IO_FLUSHER)), where a
daemon needs to write to one bdi (the final bdi) in order to free up
writes queued to another bdi (the client bdi).
The daemon sets PF_LESS_THROTTLE and gets a larger allowance of dirty
pages, so that it can still dirty pages after other processses have been
throttled. The purpose of this is to avoid deadlock that happen when
the PF_LESS_THROTTLE process must write for any dirty pages to be freed,
but it is being thottled and cannot write.
This approach was designed when all threads were blocked equally,
independently on which device they were writing to, or how fast it was.
Since that time the writeback algorithm has changed substantially with
different threads getting different allowances based on non-trivial
heuristics. This means the simple "add 25%" heuristic is no longer
reliable.
The important issue is not that the daemon needs a *larger* dirty page
allowance, but that it needs a *private* dirty page allowance, so that
dirty pages for the "client" bdi that it is helping to clear (the bdi
for an NFS filesystem or loop block device etc) do not affect the
throttling of the daemon writing to the "final" bdi.
This patch changes the heuristic so that the task is not throttled when
the bdi it is writing to has a dirty page count below below (or equal
to) the free-run threshold for that bdi. This ensures it will always be
able to have some pages in flight, and so will not deadlock.
In a steady-state, it is expected that PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE tasks might
still be throttled by global threshold, but that is acceptable as it is
only the deadlock state that is interesting for this flag.
This approach of "only throttle when target bdi is busy" is consistent
with the other use of PF_LESS_THROTTLE in current_may_throttle(), were
it causes attention to be focussed only on the target bdi.
So this patch
- renames PF_LESS_THROTTLE to PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE,
- removes the 25% bonus that that flag gives, and
- If PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE is set, don't delay at all unless the
global and the local free-run thresholds are exceeded.
Note that previously realtime threads were treated the same as
PF_LESS_THROTTLE threads. This patch does *not* change the behvaiour
for real-time threads, so it is now different from the behaviour of nfsd
and loop tasks. I don't know what is wanted for realtime.

Patch series "Change readahead API", v11.
This series adds a readahead address_space operation to replace the
readpages operation. The key difference is that pages are added to the
page cache as they are allocated (and then looked up by the filesystem)
instead of passing them on a list to the readpages operation and having
the filesystem add them to the page cache. It's a net reduction in code
for each implementation, more efficient than walking a list, and solves
the direct-write vs buffered-read problem reported by yu kuai at
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200116063601.39201-1-yukuai3@huawei.com
The only unconverted filesystems are those which use fscache. Their
conversion is pending Dave Howells' rewrite which will make the
conversion substantially easier. This should be completed by the end of
the year.
I want to thank the reviewers/testers; Dave Chinner, John Hubbard, Eric
Biggers, Johannes Thumshirn, Dave Sterba, Zi Yan, Christoph Hellwig and
Miklos Szeredi have done a marvellous job of providing constructive
criticism.
These patches pass an xfstests run on ext4, xfs & btrfs with no
regressions that I can tell (some of the tests seem a little flaky
before and remain flaky afterwards).
This patch (of 25):
The readahead code is part of the page cache so should be found in the
pagemap.h file. force_page_cache_readahead is only used within mm, so
move it to mm/internal.h instead. Remove the parameter names where they
add no value, and rename the ones which were actively misleading.

Patch series "vfs: have syncfs() return error when there are writeback
errors", v6.
Currently, syncfs does not return errors when one of the inodes fails to
be written back. It will return errors based on the legacy AS_EIO and
AS_ENOSPC flags when syncing out the block device fails, but that's not
particularly helpful for filesystems that aren't backed by a blockdev.
It's also possible for a stray sync to lose those errors.
The basic idea in this set is to track writeback errors at the
superblock level, so that we can quickly and easily check whether
something bad happened without having to fsync each file individually.
syncfs is then changed to reliably report writeback errors after they
occur, much in the same fashion as fsync does now.
This patch (of 2):
Usually we suggest that applications call fsync when they want to ensure
that all data written to the file has made it to the backing store, but
that can be inefficient when there are a lot of open files.
Calling syncfs on the filesystem can be more efficient in some
situations, but the error reporting doesn't currently work the way most
people expect. If a single inode on a filesystem reports a writeback
error, syncfs won't necessarily return an error. syncfs only returns an
error if __sync_blockdev fails, and on some filesystems that's a no-op.
It would be better if syncfs reported an error if there were any
writeback failures. Then applications could call syncfs to see if there
are any errors on any open files, and could then call fsync on all of
the other descriptors to figure out which one failed.
This patch adds a new errseq_t to struct super_block, and has
mapping_set_error also record writeback errors there.
To report those errors, we also need to keep an errseq_t in struct file
to act as a cursor. This patch adds a dedicated field for that purpose,
which slots nicely into 4 bytes of padding at the end of struct file on
x86_64.
An earlier version of this patch used an O_PATH file descriptor to cue
the kernel that the open file should track the superblock error and not
the inode's writeback error.
I think that API is just too weird though. This is simpler and should
make syncfs error reporting "just work" even if someone is multiplexing
fsync and syncfs on the same fds.

pstore/blk is similar to pstore/ram, but uses a block device as the
storage rather than persistent ram.
The pstore/blk backend solves two common use-cases that used to preclude
using pstore/ram:
- not all devices have a battery that could be used to persist
regular RAM across power failures.
- most embedded intelligent equipment have no persistent ram, which
increases costs, instead preferring cheaper solutions, like block
devices.
pstore/blk provides separate configurations for the end user and for the
block drivers. User configuration determines how pstore/blk operates, such
as record sizes, max kmsg dump reasons, etc. These can be set by Kconfig
and/or module parameters, but module parameter have priority over Kconfig.
Driver configuration covers all the details about the target block device,
such as total size of the device and how to perform read/write operations.
These are provided by block drivers, calling pstore_register_blkdev(),
including an optional panic_write callback used to bypass regular IO
APIs in an effort to avoid potentially destabilized kernel code during
a panic.

Now that pstore_register() can correctly pass max_reason to the kmesg
dump facility, introduce a new "max_reason" module parameter and
"max-reason" Device Tree field.
The "dump_oops" module parameter and "dump-oops" Device
Tree field are now considered deprecated, but are now automatically
converted to their corresponding max_reason values when present, though
the new max_reason setting has precedence.
For struct ramoops_platform_data, the "dump_oops" member is entirely
replaced by a new "max_reason" member, with the only existing user
updated in place.
Additionally remove the "reason" filter logic from ramoops_pstore_write(),
as that is not specifically needed anymore, though technically
this is a change in behavior for any ramoops users also setting the
printk.always_kmsg_dump boot param, which will cause ramoops to behave as
if max_reason was set to KMSG_DUMP_MAX.

Add a new member to struct pstore_info for passing information about
kmesg dump maximum reason. This allows a finer control of what kmesg
dumps are sent to pstore storage backends.
Those backends that do not explicitly set this field (keeping it equal to
0), get the default behavior: store only Oopses and Panics, or everything
if the printk.always_kmsg_dump boot param is set.

kmsg_dump() allows to dump kmesg buffer for various system events: oops,
panic, reboot, etc. It provides an interface to register a callback
call for clients, and in that callback interface there is a field
"max_reason", but it was getting ignored when set to any "reason"
higher than KMSG_DUMP_OOPS unless "always_kmsg_dump" was passed as
kernel parameter.
Allow clients to actually control their "max_reason", and keep the
current behavior when "max_reason" is not set.

In order to more cleanly pass around backend names, make the "name" member
const. This means the module param needs to be dynamic (technically, it
was before, so this actually cleans up a minor memory leak if a backend
was specified and then gets unloaded.)

Hi!
This patchset is another attempt to fix the regulator coupling on
Exynos5800/5422 SoCs. Here are links to the previous attempts:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-samsung-soc/20191008101709.qVNy8eijBi0LynOteWFMnTg4GUwKG599n6OyYoX1Abs@z/https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191017102758.8104-1-m.szyprowski@samsung.com/https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/cover.1589528491.git.viresh.kumar@linaro.org/https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/20200528131130.17984-1-m.szyprowski@samsung.com/
The problem is with "vdd_int" regulator coupled with "vdd_arm" on Odroid
XU3/XU4 boards family. "vdd_arm" is handled by CPUfreq. "vdd_int" is
handled by devfreq. CPUfreq initialized quite early during boot and it
starts changing OPPs and "vdd_arm" value. Sometimes CPU activity during
boot goes down and some low-frequency OPPs are selected, what in turn
causes lowering "vdd_arm". This happens before devfreq applies its
requirements on "vdd_int". Regulator balancing code reduces "vdd_arm"
voltage value, what in turn causes lowering "vdd_int" value to the lowest
possible value. This is much below the operation point of the wcore bus,
which still runs at the highest frequency.
The issue was hard to notice because in the most cases the board managed
to boot properly, even when the regulator was set to lowest value allowed
by the regulator constraints. However, it caused some random issues,
which can be observed as "Unhandled prefetch abort" or low USB stability.
Adding more and more special cases to the generic code has been rejected,
so the only way to ensure the desired behavior on Exynos5800-based SoCs
is to make a custom regulator coupler driver.
Best regards,
Marek Szyprowski
