Introduce helper function mem_init_print_info() to simplify mem_init()
across different architectures, which also unifies the format and
information printed.

Function mem_init_print_info() calculates memory statistics information
without walking each page, so it should be a little faster on some
architectures.

Also introduce another helper get_num_physpages() to kill the global
variable num_physpages.

vmlinux.lds: add comments for global variables and clean up useless declarations

The original goal of this patchset is to fix the bug reported by
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53501 Now it has also been
expanded to reduce common code used by memory initializion.

Patch 1-7:
1) add comments for global variables exported by vmlinux.lds
2) normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds
Patch 8:
Introduce helper functions mem_init_print_info() and
get_num_physpages()
Patch 9:
Avoid using global variable num_physpages at runtime
Patch 10:
Don't update num_physpages in memory_hotplug.c
Patch 11-40:
Modify arch mm initialization code to:
1) Simplify mem_init() by using mem_init_print_info()
2) Prepare for killing global variable num_physpages
Patch 41:
Kill the global variable num_physpages

With all patches applied, mem_init(), free_initmem(), free_initrd_mem()
could be as simple as below.  This patch series has reduced about 1.2K
lines of code in total.

#ifndef CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM
void __init
mem_init(void)
{
max_mapnr = max_low_pfn;
free_all_bootmem();
high_memory = (void *) __va(max_low_pfn * PAGE_SIZE);

mem_init_print_info(NULL);
}
#endif /* CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM */

void
free_initmem(void)
{
free_initmem_default(-1);
}

#ifdef CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD
void
free_initrd_mem(unsigned long start, unsigned long end)
{
free_reserved_area(start, end, -1, "initrd");
}
#endif

Due to hardware resource limitations, I have only tested this on x86_64.
And the messages reported on an x86_64 system are:

NOT @interim to @end.

Since ARC port doesn't use page free batching I can't test it myself but
this seems like the right thing to do.

Observed this when working on a fix for the issue at thread:

mm: report available pages as "MemTotal" for each NUMA node

As reported by https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53501,
"MemTotal" from /proc/meminfo means memory pages managed by the buddy
system (managed_pages), but "MemTotal" from /sys/.../node/nodex/meminfo
means physical pages present (present_pages) within the NUMA node.
There's a difference between managed_pages and present_pages due to
bootmem allocator and reserved pages.

And Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt says
    MemTotal: Total usable ram (i.e. physical ram minus a few reserved
              bits and the kernel binary code)

So change /sys/.../node/nodex/meminfo to report available pages within
the node as "MemTotal".

mm: concentrate modification of totalram_pages into the mm core

Concentrate code to modify totalram_pages into the mm core, so the arch
memory initialized code doesn't need to take care of it.  With these
changes applied, only following functions from mm core modify global
variable totalram_pages: free_bootmem_late(), free_all_bootmem(),
free_all_bootmem_node(), adjust_managed_page_count().

With this patch applied, it will be much more easier for us to keep

mm: correctly update zone->managed_pages

Enhance adjust_managed_page_count() to adjust totalhigh_pages for
highmem pages.  And change code which directly adjusts totalram_pages to
use adjust_managed_page_count() because it adjusts totalram_pages,
totalhigh_pages and zone->managed_pages altogether in a safe way.

Remove inc_totalhigh_pages() and dec_totalhigh_pages() from xen/balloon
driver bacause adjust_managed_page_count() has already adjusted
totalhigh_pages.

This patch also fixes two bugs:

1) enhances virtio_balloon driver to adjust totalhigh_pages when
   reserve/unreserve pages.
2) enhance memory_hotplug.c to adjust totalhigh_pages when hot-removing
   memory.

We still need to deal with modifications of totalram_pages in file
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/cmm.c, but need help from PPC experts.

mm: make __free_pages_bootmem() only available at boot time

In order to simpilify management of totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages, make __free_pages_bootmem() only available at boot
time.  With this change applied, __free_pages_bootmem() will only be
used by bootmem.c and nobootmem.c at boot time, so mark it as __init.
Other callers of __free_pages_bootmem() have been converted to use
free_reserved_page(), which handles totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages in a safer way.

This patch also fix a bug in free_pagetable() for x86_64, which should
increase zone->managed_pages instead of zone->present_pages when freeing
reserved pages.

And now we have managed_pages_count_lock to protect totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages, so remove the redundant ppb_lock lock in
put_page_bootmem().  This greatly simplifies the locking rules.

mm: use a dedicated lock to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages

Currently lock_memory_hotplug()/unlock_memory_hotplug() are used to
protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages.  Other than the memory
hotplug driver, totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages may also be
modified at runtime by other drivers, such as Xen balloon,
virtio_balloon etc.  For those cases, memory hotplug lock is a little
too heavy, so introduce a dedicated lock to protect totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages.

Now we have a simplified locking rules totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages as:

1) no locking for read accesses because they are unsigned long.
2) no locking for write accesses at boot time in single-threaded context.
3) serialize write accesses at runtime by acquiring the dedicated
   managed_page_count_lock.

Also adjust zone->managed_pages when freeing reserved pages into the
buddy system, to keep totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in
consistence.

mm: accurately calculate zone->managed_pages for highmem zones

Commit "mm: introduce new field 'managed_pages' to struct zone" assumes
that all highmem pages will be freed into the buddy system by function
mem_init().  But that's not always true, some architectures may reserve
some highmem pages during boot.  For example PPC may allocate highmem
pages for giagant HugeTLB pages, and several architectures have code to
check PageReserved flag to exclude highmem pages allocated during boot
when freeing highmem pages into the buddy system.

So treat highmem pages in the same way as normal pages, that is to:
1) reset zone->managed_pages to zero in mem_init().
2) recalculate managed_pages when freeing pages into the buddy system.

mm: enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning memory with zero

Address more review comments from last round of code review.
1) Enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning freed memory with
   pattern '0'. This could be used to get rid of poison_init_mem()
   on ARM64.
2) A previous patch has disabled memory poison for initmem on s390
   by mistake, so restore to the original behavior.
3) Remove redundant PAGE_ALIGN() when calling free_reserved_area().

swap: discard while swapping only if SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES

Considering the use cases where the swap device supports discard:
a) and can do it quickly;
b) but it's slow to do in small granularities (or concurrent with other
   I/O);
c) but the implementation is so horrendous that you don't even want to
   send one down;

And assuming that the sysadmin considers it useful to send the discards down
at all, we would (probably) want the following solutions:

  i. do the fine-grained discards for freed swap pages, if device is
     capable of doing so optimally;
 ii. do single-time (batched) swap area discards, either at swapon
     or via something like fstrim (not implemented yet);
iii. allow doing both single-time and fine-grained discards; or
 iv. turn it off completely (default behavior)

As implemented today, one can only enable/disable discards for swap, but
one cannot select, for instance, solution (ii) on a swap device like (b)
even though the single-time discard is regarded to be interesting, or
necessary to the workload because it would imply (1), and the device is
not capable of performing it optimally.

This patch addresses the scenario depicted above by introducing a way to
ensure the (probably) wanted solutions (i, ii, iii and iv) can be flexibly
flagged through swapon(8) to allow a sysadmin to select the best suitable
swap discard policy accordingly to system constraints.

This patch introduces SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES and SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_ONCE
new flags to allow more flexibe swap discard policies being flagged
through swapon(8).  The default behavior is to keep both single-time, or
batched, area discards (SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_ONCE) and fine-grained discards
for page-clusters (SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES) enabled, in order to keep
consistentcy with older kernel behavior, as well as maintain compatibility
with older swapon(8).  However, through the new introduced flags the best
suitable discard policy can be selected accordingly to any given swap
device constraint.

mm: tune vm_committed_as percpu_counter batching size

Currently the per cpu counter's batch size for memory accounting is
configured as twice the number of cpus in the system.  However, for
system with very large memory, it is more appropriate to make it
proportional to the memory size per cpu in the system.

For example, for a x86_64 system with 64 cpus and 128 GB of memory, the
batch size is only 2*64 pages (0.5 MB).  So any memory accounting
changes of more than 0.5MB will overflow the per cpu counter into the
global counter.  Instead, for the new scheme, the batch size is
configured to be 0.4% of the memory/cpu = 8MB (128 GB/64 /256), which is
more inline with the memory size.

I've done a repeated brk test of 800KB (from will-it-scale test suite)
with 80 concurrent processes on a 4 socket Westmere machine with a total
of 40 cores.  Without the patch, about 80% of cpu is spent on spin-lock
contention within the vm_committed_as counter.  With the patch, there's
a 73x speedup on the benchmark and the lock contention drops off almost
entirely.

mm/memory_hotplug.c: change normal message to use pr_debug

During early boot-up, iomem_resource is set up from the boot descriptor
table, such as EFI Memory Table and e820.  Later,
acpi_memory_device_add() calls add_memory() for each ACPI memory device
object as it enumerates ACPI namespace.  This add_memory() call is
expected to fail in register_memory_resource() at boot since
iomem_resource has been set up from EFI/e820.  As a result, add_memory()
returns -EEXIST, which acpi_memory_device_add() handles as the normal
case.

This scheme works fine, but the following error message is logged for
every ACPI memory device object during boot-up.

  "System RAM resource %pR cannot be added\n"

This patch changes register_memory_resource() to use pr_debug() for the
message as it shows up under the normal case.

mm/memory-failure.c: fix memory leak in successful soft offlining

After a successful page migration by soft offlining, the source page is
not properly freed and it's never reusable even if we unpoison it
afterward.

This is caused by the race between freeing page and setting PG_hwpoison.
In successful soft offlining, the source page is put (and the refcount
becomes 0) by putback_lru_page() in unmap_and_move(), where it's linked
to pagevec and actual freeing back to buddy is delayed.  So if
PG_hwpoison is set for the page before freeing, the freeing does not
functions as expected (in such case freeing aborts in
free_pages_prepare() check.)

This patch tries to make sure to free the source page before setting
PG_hwpoison on it.  To avoid reallocating, the page keeps
MIGRATE_ISOLATE until after setting PG_hwpoison.

This patch also removes obsolete comments about "keeping elevated
refcount" because what they say is not true.  Unlike memory_failure(),
soft_offline_page() uses no special page isolation code, and the
soft-offlined pages have no elevated.

If a page is on a pagevec then it is !PageLRU and mark_page_accessed()
may fail to move a page to the active list as expected.  Now that the
LRU is selected at LRU drain time, mark pages PageActive if they are on
the local pagevec so it gets moved to the correct list at LRU drain
time.  Using a debugging patch it was found that for a simple git
checkout based workload that pages were never added to the active file
list in practice but with this patch applied they are.

before   after
LRU Add Active File                  0      750583
LRU Add Active Anon            2640587     2702818
LRU Add Inactive File          8833662     8068353
LRU Add Inactive Anon              207         200

Note that only pages on the local pagevec are considered on purpose.  A
!PageLRU page could be in the process of being released, reclaimed,
migrated or on a remote pagevec that is currently being drained.
Marking it PageActive is vunerable to races where PageLRU and Active
bits are checked at the wrong time.  Page reclaim will trigger
VM_BUG_ONs but depending on when the race hits, it could also free a
PageActive page to the page allocator and trigger a bad_page warning.
Similarly a potential race exists between a per-cpu drain on a pagevec
list and an activation on a remote CPU.

lru_add_drain_cpu
__pagevec_lru_add
  lru = page_lru(page);
mark_page_accessed
  if (PageLRU(page))
    activate_page
  else
    SetPageActive
  SetPageLRU(page);
  add_page_to_lru_list(page, lruvec, lru);

In this case a PageActive page is added to the inactivate list and later
the inactive/active stats will get skewed.  While the PageActive checks
in vmscan could be removed and potentially dealt with, a skew in the
statistics would be very difficult to detect.  Hence this patch deals
just with the common case where a page being marked accessed has just
been added to the local pagevec.

mm: pagevec: defer deciding which LRU to add a page to until pagevec drain time

mark_page_accessed() cannot activate an inactive page that is located on
an inactive LRU pagevec.  Hints from filesystems may be ignored as a
result.  In preparation for fixing that problem, this patch removes the
per-LRU pagevecs and leaves just one pagevec.  The final LRU the page is
added to is deferred until the pagevec is drained.

This means that fewer pagevecs are available and potentially there is
greater contention on the LRU lock.  However, this only applies in the
case where there is an almost perfect mix of file, anon, active and
inactive pages being added to the LRU.  In practice I expect that we are
adding stream of pages of a particular time and that the changes in
contention will barely be measurable.

mm: add tracepoints for LRU activation and insertions

Andrew Perepechko reported a problem whereby pages are being prematurely
evicted as the mark_page_accessed() hint is ignored for pages that are
currently on a pagevec --
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ext4/msg37340.html .

Alexey Lyahkov and Robin Dong have also reported problems recently that
could be due to hot pages reaching the end of the inactive list too
quickly and be reclaimed.

Rather than addressing this on a per-filesystem basis, this series aims
to fix the mark_page_accessed() interface by deferring what LRU a page
is added to pagevec drain time and allowing mark_page_accessed() to call
SetPageActive on a pagevec page.

Patch 1 adds two tracepoints for LRU page activation and insertion. Using
these processes it's possible to build a model of pages in the
LRU that can be processed offline.

Patch 2 defers making the decision on what LRU to add a page to until when
the pagevec is drained.

Patch 3 searches the local pagevec for pages to mark PageActive on
mark_page_accessed. The changelog explains why only the local
pagevec is examined.

Patches 4 and 5 tidy up the API.

postmark, a dd-based test and fs-mark both single and threaded mode were
run but none of them showed any performance degradation or gain as a
result of the patch.

Using patch 1, I built a *very* basic model of the LRU to examine
offline what the average age of different page types on the LRU were in
milliseconds.  Of course, capturing the trace distorts the test as it's
written to local disk but it does not matter for the purposes of this
test.  The average age of pages in milliseconds were

    vanilla deferdrain
Average age mapped anon:               1454       1250
Average age mapped file:             127841     155552
Average age unmapped anon:               85        235
Average age unmapped file:            73633      38884
Average age unmapped buffers:         74054     116155

The LRU activity was mostly files which you'd expect for a dd-based
workload.  Note that the average age of buffer pages is increased by the
series and it is expected this is due to the fact that the buffer pages
are now getting added to the active list when drained from the pagevecs.
Note that the average age of the unmapped file data is decreased as they
are still added to the inactive list and are reclaimed before the
buffers.

There is no guarantee this is a universal win for all workloads and it
would be nice if the filesystem people gave some thought as to whether
this decision is generally a win or a loss.

This patch:

Using these tracepoints it is possible to model LRU activity and the
average residency of pages of different types.  This can be used to
debug problems related to premature reclaim of pages of particular
types.

vmcore: support mmap() on /proc/vmcore

This patch introduces mmap_vmcore().

Don't permit writable nor executable mapping even with mprotect()
because this mmap() is aimed at reading crash dump memory.  Non-writable
mapping is also requirement of remap_pfn_range() when mapping linear
pages on non-consecutive physical pages; see is_cow_mapping().

Set VM_MIXEDMAP flag to remap memory by remap_pfn_range and by
remap_vmalloc_range_pertial at the same time for a single vma.
do_munmap() can correctly clean partially remapped vma with two
functions in abnormal case.  See zap_pte_range(), vm_normal_page() and
their comments for details.

On x86-32 PAE kernels, mmap() supports at most 16TB memory only.  This
limitation comes from the fact that the third argument of
remap_pfn_range(), pfn, is of 32-bit length on x86-32: unsigned long.

vmcore: calculate vmcore file size from buffer size and total size of vmcore objects

The previous patches newly added holes before each chunk of memory and
the holes need to be count in vmcore file size.  There are two ways to
count file size in such a way:

1) suppose m is a poitner to the last vmcore object in vmcore_list.
   Then file size is (m->offset + m->size), or

2) calculate sum of size of buffers for ELF header, program headers,
   ELF note segments and objects in vmcore_list.

Although 1) is more direct and simpler than 2), 2) seems better in that
it reflects internal object structure of /proc/vmcore.  Thus, this patch
changes get_vmcore_size_elf{64, 32} so that it calculates size in the
way of 2).

As a result, both get_vmcore_size_elf{64, 32} have the same definition.
Merge them as get_vmcore_size.

vmcore: allocate ELF note segment in the 2nd kernel vmalloc memory

The reasons why we don't allocate ELF note segment in the 1st kernel
(old memory) on page boundary is to keep backward compatibility for old
kernels, and that if doing so, we waste not a little memory due to
round-up operation to fit the memory to page boundary since most of the
buffers are in per-cpu area.

ELF notes are per-cpu, so total size of ELF note segments depends on
number of CPUs.  The current maximum number of CPUs on x86_64 is 5192,
and there's already system with 4192 CPUs in SGI, where total size
amounts to 1MB.  This can be larger in the near future or possibly even
now on another architecture that has larger size of note per a single
cpu.  Thus, to avoid the case where memory allocation for large block
fails, we allocate vmcore objects on vmalloc memory.

This patch adds elfnotes_buf and elfnotes_sz variables to keep pointer
to the ELF note segment buffer and its size.  There's no longer the
vmcore object that corresponds to the ELF note segment in vmcore_list.
Accordingly, read_vmcore() has new case for ELF note segment and
set_vmcore_list_offsets_elf{64,32}() and other helper functions starts
calculating offset from sum of size of ELF headers and size of ELF note
segment.

vmalloc: introduce remap_vmalloc_range_partial

We want to allocate ELF note segment buffer on the 2nd kernel in vmalloc
space and remap it to user-space in order to reduce the risk that memory
allocation fails on system with huge number of CPUs and so with huge ELF
note segment that exceeds 11-order block size.

Although there's already remap_vmalloc_range for the purpose of
remapping vmalloc memory to user-space, we need to specify user-space
range via vma.
 Mmap on /proc/vmcore needs to remap range across multiple objects, so
the interface that requires vma to cover full range is problematic.

This patch introduces remap_vmalloc_range_partial that receives user-space
range as a pair of base address and size and can be used for mmap on
/proc/vmcore case.

remap_vmalloc_range is rewritten using remap_vmalloc_range_partial.

vmcore: allocate buffer for ELF headers on page-size alignment

elfcorebuf_sz separately.

The size of part of the ELF buffer exported from /proc/vmcore is
elfcorebuf_sz.

The merged, removed PT_NOTE entries, i.e.  the range [elfcorebuf_sz,
elfcorebuf_sz_orig], is filled with 0.

Use size of the ELF headers as an initial offset value in

process_ptload_program_headers_elf{64,32} in order to indicate that the
offset includes the holes towards the page boundary.

As a result, both set_vmcore_list_offsets_elf{64,32} have the same
definition.  Merge them as set_vmcore_list_offsets.

fs: nfs: inform the VM about pages being committed or unstable

VM page reclaim uses dirty and writeback page states to determine if
flushers are cleaning pages too slowly and that page reclaim should
stall waiting on flushers to catch up.  Page state in NFS is a bit more
complex and a clean page can be unreclaimable due to being unstable
which is effectively "dirty" from the perspective of the VM from reclaim
context.  Similarly, if the inode is currently being committed then it's
similar to being under writeback.

This patch adds a is_dirty_writeback() handled for NFS that checks if a
pages backing inode is being committed and should be accounted as
writeback and if a page has private state indicating that it is
effectively dirty.

mm: vmscan: take page buffers dirty and locked state into account

Page reclaim keeps track of dirty and under writeback pages and uses it
to determine if wait_iff_congested() should stall or if kswapd should
begin writing back pages.  This fails to account for buffer pages that
can be under writeback but not PageWriteback which is the case for
filesystems like ext3 ordered mode.  Furthermore, PageDirty buffer pages
can have all the buffers clean and writepage does no IO so it should not
be accounted as congested.

This patch adds an address_space operation that filesystems may
optionally use to check if a page is really dirty or really under
writeback.  An implementation is provided for for buffer_heads is added
and used for block operations and ext3 in ordered mode.  By default the
page flags are obeyed.

Credit goes to Jan Kara for identifying that the page flags alone are
not sufficient for ext3 and sanity checking a number of ideas on how the
problem could be addressed.

mm: vmscan: treat pages marked for immediate reclaim as zone congestion

Currently a zone will only be marked congested if the underlying BDI is
congested but if dirty pages are spread across zones it is possible that
an individual zone is full of dirty pages without being congested.  The
impact is that zone gets scanned very quickly potentially reclaiming
really clean pages.  This patch treats pages marked for immediate
reclaim as congested for the purposes of marking a zone ZONE_CONGESTED
and stalling in wait_iff_congested.

mm: vmscan: stall page reclaim and writeback pages based on dirty/writepage pages encountered

Further testing of the "Reduce system disruption due to kswapd"
discovered a few problems.  First and foremost, it's possible for pages
under writeback to be freed which will lead to badness.  Second, as
pages were not being swapped the file LRU was being scanned faster and
clean file pages were being reclaimed.  In some cases this results in
increased read IO to re-read data from disk.  Third, more pages were
being written from kswapd context which can adversly affect IO
performance.  Lastly, it was observed that PageDirty pages are not
necessarily dirty on all filesystems (buffers can be clean while
PageDirty is set and ->writepage generates no IO) and not all
filesystems set PageWriteback when the page is being written (e.g.
ext3).  This disconnect confuses the reclaim stalling logic.  This
follow-up series is aimed at these problems.

The tests were based on three kernels

vanilla: kernel 3.9 as that is what the current mmotm uses as a baseline
mmotm-20130522 is mmotm as of 22nd May with "Reduce system disruption due to
kswapd" applied on top as per what should be in Andrew's tree
right now
lessdisrupt-v7r10 is this follow-up series on top of the mmotm kernel

The first test used memcached+memcachetest while some background IO was
in progress as implemented by the parallel IO tests implement in MM
Tests.  memcachetest benchmarks how many operations/second memcached can
service.  It starts with no background IO on a freshly created ext4
filesystem and then re-runs the test with larger amounts of IO in the
background to roughly simulate a large copy in progress.  The
expectation is that the IO should have little or no impact on
memcachetest which is running entirely in memory.

There are a number of observations to make here

1. Swap outs are almost eliminated. Swap ins are 0 indicating that the
   pages swapped were really unused anonymous pages. Related to that,
   major faults are much reduced.

2. kswapd efficiency was impacted by the initial series but with these
   follow-up patches, the efficiency is now at 66% indicating that far
   fewer pages were skipped during scanning due to dirty or writeback
   pages.

3. kswapd velocity is reduced indicating that fewer pages are being scanned
   with the follow-up series as kswapd now stalls when the tail of the
   LRU queue is full of unqueued dirty pages. The stall gives flushers a
   chance to catch-up so kswapd can reclaim clean pages when it wakes

4. In light of Zlatko's recent reports about zone scanning imbalances,
   mmtests now reports scanning velocity on a per-zone basis. With mainline,
   you can see that the scanning activity is dominated by the Normal
   zone with over 45 times more scanning in Normal than the DMA32 zone.
   With the series currently in mmotm, the ratio is slightly better but it
   is still the case that the bulk of scanning is in the highest zone. With
   this follow-up series, the ratio of scanning between the Normal and
   DMA32 zone is roughly equal.

5. As Dave Chinner observed, the current patches in mmotm increased the
   number of pages written from kswapd context which is expected to adversly
   impact IO performance. With the follow-up patches, far fewer pages are
   written from kswapd context than the mainline kernel

6. With the series in mmotm, fewer inodes were reclaimed by kswapd. With
   the follow-up series, there is less slab shrinking activity and no inodes
   were reclaimed.

7. Note that "Sectors Read" is drastically reduced implying that the source
   data being used for the IO is not being aggressively discarded due to
   page reclaim skipping over dirty pages and reclaiming clean pages. Note
   that the reducion in reads could also be due to inode data not being
   re-read from disk after a slab shrink.

In light of the changes in writes from reclaim context, the number of
reads and Dave Chinner's concerns about IO performance I took a closer
look at the IO stats for the test disk. Few observations

1. The average queue size is reduced by the initial series and roughly
   the same with this follow up.

2. Average wait times for writes are reduced and as the IO
   is completing faster it at least implies that the gain is because
   flushers are writing the files efficiently instead of page reclaim
   getting in the way.

3. The reduction in maximum write latency is staggering. 28 seconds down
   to 3 seconds.

Jan Kara asked how NFS is affected by all of this. Unstable pages can
be taken into account as one of the patches in the series shows but it
is still the case that filesystems with unusual handling of dirty or
writeback could still be treated better.

Tests like postmark, fsmark and largedd showed up nothing useful. On my test
setup, pages are simply not being written back from reclaim context with or
without the patches and there are no changes in performance. My test setup
probably is just not strong enough network-wise to be really interesting.

I ran a longer-lived memcached test with IO going to NFS instead of a local disk

1. Performance does not collapse due to IO which is good. IO is also completing
   faster. Note with mmotm, IO completes in a third of the time and faster again
   with this series applied

2. Swapping is reduced, although not eliminated. The figures for the follow-up
   look bad but it does vary a bit as the stalling is not perfect for nfs
   or filesystems like ext3 with unusual handling of dirty and writeback
   pages

3. There are swapins, particularly with larger amounts of IO indicating
   that active pages are being reclaimed. However, the number of much
   reduced.

This patch:

The patch "mm: vmscan: Have kswapd writeback pages based on dirty pages
encountered, not priority" decides whether to writeback pages from reclaim
context based on the number of dirty pages encountered.  This situation is
flagged too easily and flushers are not given the chance to catch up
resulting in more pages being written from reclaim context and potentially
impacting IO performance.  The check for PageWriteback is also misplaced
as it happens within a PageDirty check which is nonsense as the dirty may
have been cleared for IO.  The accounting is updated very late and pages
that are already under writeback, were reactivated, could not unmapped or
could not be released are all missed.  Similarly, a page is considered
congested for reasons other than being congested and pages that cannot be
written out in the correct context are skipped.  Finally, it considers
stalling and writing back filesystem pages due to encountering dirty
anonymous pages at the tail of the LRU which is dumb.

This patch causes kswapd to begin writing filesystem pages from reclaim
context only if page reclaim found that all filesystem pages at the tail
of the LRU were unqueued dirty pages.  Before it starts writing filesystem
pages, it will stall to give flushers a chance to catch up.  The decision
on whether wait_iff_congested is also now determined by dirty filesystem
pages only.  Congested pages are based on whether the underlying BDI is
congested regardless of the context of the reclaiming process.

mm: vmscan: block kswapd if it is encountering pages under writeback

Historically, kswapd used to congestion_wait() at higher priorities if
it was not making forward progress.  This made no sense as the failure
to make progress could be completely independent of IO.  It was later
replaced by wait_iff_congested() and removed entirely by commit 258401a6
(mm: don't wait on congested zones in balance_pgdat()) as it was
duplicating logic in shrink_inactive_list().

This is problematic.  If kswapd encounters many pages under writeback
and it continues to scan until it reaches the high watermark then it
will quickly skip over the pages under writeback and reclaim clean young
pages or push applications out to swap.

The use of wait_iff_congested() is not suited to kswapd as it will only
stall if the underlying BDI is really congested or a direct reclaimer
was unable to write to the underlying BDI.  kswapd bypasses the BDI
congestion as it sets PF_SWAPWRITE but even if this was taken into
account then it would cause direct reclaimers to stall on writeback
which is not desirable.

This patch sets a ZONE_WRITEBACK flag if direct reclaim or kswapd is
encountering too many pages under writeback.  If this flag is set and
kswapd encounters a PageReclaim page under writeback then it'll assume
that the LRU lists are being recycled too quickly before IO can complete
and block waiting for some IO to complete.

mm: vmscan: have kswapd writeback pages based on dirty pages encountered, not priority

Currently kswapd queues dirty pages for writeback if scanning at an
elevated priority but the priority kswapd scans at is not related to the
number of unqueued dirty encountered.  Since commit "mm: vmscan: Flatten
kswapd priority loop", the priority is related to the size of the LRU
and the zone watermark which is no indication as to whether kswapd
should write pages or not.

This patch tracks if an excessive number of unqueued dirty pages are
being encountered at the end of the LRU.  If so, it indicates that dirty
pages are being recycled before flusher threads can clean them and flags
the zone so that kswapd will start writing pages until the zone is
balanced.

mm: vmscan: do not allow kswapd to scan at maximum priority

Page reclaim at priority 0 will scan the entire LRU as priority 0 is
considered to be a near OOM condition.  Kswapd can reach priority 0
quite easily if it is encountering a large number of pages it cannot
reclaim such as pages under writeback.  When this happens, kswapd
reclaims very aggressively even though there may be no real risk of
allocation failure or OOM.

This patch prevents kswapd reaching priority 0 and trying to reclaim the
world.  Direct reclaimers will still reach priority 0 in the event of an
OOM situation.

mm: vmscan: decide whether to compact the pgdat based on reclaim progress

In the past, kswapd makes a decision on whether to compact memory after
the pgdat was considered balanced.  This more or less worked but it is
late to make such a decision and does not fit well now that kswapd makes

This patch will compact a pgdat if at least the requested number of

mm: vmscan: flatten kswapd priority loop

kswapd stops raising the scanning priority when at least
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages have been reclaimed or the pgdat is considered
balanced.  It then rechecks if it needs to restart at DEF_PRIORITY and
whether high-order reclaim needs to be reset.  This is not wrong per-se
but it is confusing to follow and forcing kswapd to stay at DEF_PRIORITY
may require several restarts before it has scanned enough pages to meet
the high watermark even at 100% efficiency.  This patch irons out the
logic a bit by controlling when priority is raised and removing the
"goto loop_again".

This patch has kswapd raise the scanning priority until it is scanning
enough pages that it could meet the high watermark in one shrink of the
LRU lists if it is able to reclaim at 100% efficiency.  It will not
raise the scanning prioirty higher unless it is failing to reclaim any
pages.

To avoid infinite looping for high-order allocation requests kswapd will
not reclaim for high-order allocations when it has reclaimed at least
twice the number of pages as the allocation request.

mm: vmscan: obey proportional scanning requirements for kswapd

Simplistically, the anon and file LRU lists are scanned proportionally
depending on the value of vm.swappiness although there are other factors
taken into account by get_scan_count().  The patch "mm: vmscan: Limit
the number of pages kswapd reclaims" limits the number of pages kswapd
reclaims but it breaks this proportional scanning and may evenly shrink
anon/file LRUs regardless of vm.swappiness.

This patch preserves the proportional scanning and reclaim.  It does
mean that kswapd will reclaim more than requested but the number of
pages will be related to the high watermark.
