<title>vfs: keep inodes with page cache off the inode shrinker LRU</title>
<updated>2021-11-09T18:02:48+00:00</updated>

<published>2021-11-09T02:31:24+00:00</published>

<id>urn:sha1:51b8c1fe250d1bd70c1722dc3c414f5cff2d7cca</id>
<content type='text'>
Historically (pre-2.5), the inode shrinker used to reclaim only empty
inodes and skip over those that still contained page cache.  This caused
problems on highmem hosts: struct inode could put fill lowmem zones
before the cache was getting reclaimed in the highmem zones.

To address this, the inode shrinker started to strip page cache to
facilitate reclaiming lowmem.  However, this comes with its own set of
problems: the shrinkers may drop actively used page cache just because
the inodes are not currently open or dirty - think working with a large
git tree.  It further doesn't respect cgroup memory protection settings
and can cause priority inversions between containers.

Nowadays, the page cache also holds non-resident info for evicted cache
pages in order to detect refaults.  We've come to rely heavily on this
data inside reclaim for protecting the cache workingset and driving swap
behavior.  We also use it to quantify and report workload health through
psi.  The latter in turn is used for fleet health monitoring, as well as
driving automated memory sizing of workloads and containers, proactive
reclaim and memory offloading schemes.

The consequences of dropping page cache prematurely is that we're seeing
subtle and not-so-subtle failures in all of the above-mentioned
scenarios, with the workload generally entering unexpected thrashing
states while losing the ability to reliably detect it.

To fix this on non-highmem systems at least, going back to rotating
inodes on the LRU isn't feasible.  We've tried (commit a76cf1a474d7
("mm: don't reclaim inodes with many attached pages")) and failed
(commit 69056ee6a8a3 ("Revert "mm: don't reclaim inodes with many
attached pages"")).

The issue is mostly that shrinker pools attract pressure based on their
size, and when objects get skipped the shrinkers remember this as
deferred reclaim work.  This accumulates excessive pressure on the
remaining inodes, and we can quickly eat into heavily used ones, or
dirty ones that require IO to reclaim, when there potentially is plenty
of cold, clean cache around still.

Instead, this patch keeps populated inodes off the inode LRU in the
first place - just like an open file or dirty state would.  An otherwise
clean and unused inode then gets queued when the last cache entry
disappears.  This solves the problem without reintroducing the reclaim
issues, and generally is a bit more scalable than having to wade through
potentially hundreds of thousands of busy inodes.

Locking is a bit tricky because the locks protecting the inode state
(i_lock) and the inode LRU (lru_list.lock) don't nest inside the
irq-safe page cache lock (i_pages.xa_lock).  Page cache deletions are
serialized through i_lock, taken before the i_pages lock, to make sure
depopulated inodes are queued reliably.  Additions may race with
deletions, but we'll check again in the shrinker.  If additions race
with the shrinker itself, we're protected by the i_lock: if find_inode()
or iput() win, the shrinker will bail on the elevated i_count or
I_REFERENCED; if the shrinker wins and goes ahead with the inode, it
will set I_FREEING and inhibit further igets(), which will cause the
other side to create a new instance of the inode instead.

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
 "The updates this time are more under the hood and enhancing existing
  features (subpage with compression and zoned namespaces).

  Performance related:

   - misc small inode logging improvements (+3% throughput, -11% latency
     on sample dbench workload)

   - more efficient directory logging: bulk item insertion, less tree
     searches and locking

   - speed up bulk insertion of items into a b-tree, which is used when
     logging directories, when running delayed items for directories
     (fsync and transaction commits) and when running the slow path
     (full sync) of an fsync (bulk creation run time -4%, deletion -12%)

  Core:

   - continued subpage support
      - make defragmentation work
      - make compression write work

   - zoned mode
      - support ZNS (zoned namespaces), zone capacity is number of
        usable blocks in each zone
      - add dedicated block group (zoned) for relocation, to prevent
        out of order writes in some cases
      - greedy block group reclaim, pick the ones with least usable
        space first

   - preparatory work for send protocol updates

   - error handling improvements

   - cleanups and refactoring

  Fixes:

   - lockdep warnings
      - in show_devname callback, on seeding device
      - device delete on loop device due to conversions to workqueues

   - fix deadlock between chunk allocation and chunk btree modifications

   - fix tracking of missing device count and status"

If you already have an inode and need to update the time on the inode
there is no way to do this properly.  Export this helper to allow file
systems to update time on the inode so the appropriate handler is
called, either -&gt;update_time or generic_update_time.

The second argument was only used by the USB gadget code, yet everyone
pays the overhead of passing a zero to be passed into aio, where it
ends up being part of the aio res2 value.

Now that everybody is passing in zero, kill off the extra argument.
