mm: remove vmacache

2022-09-27T02:46:18+00:00

By using the maple tree and the maple tree state, the vmacache is no longer beneficial and is complicating the VMA code. Remove the vmacache to reduce the work in keeping it up to date and code complexity. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220906194824.2110408-26-Liam.Howlett@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Liam R.

mm: add DEVICE_ZONE to FOR_ALL_ZONES

2022-08-20T22:17:45+00:00

FOR_ALL_ZONES should be consistent with enum zone_type. Otherwise, __count_zid_vm_events have the potential to add count to wrong item when zid is ZONE_DEVICE.

mm: zswap: add basic meminfo and vmstat coverage

2022-05-19T21:08:53+00:00

Currently it requires poking at debugfs to figure out the size and population of the zswap cache on a host. There are no counters for reads and writes against the cache. As a result, it's difficult to understand zswap behavior on production systems. Print zswap memory consumption and how many pages are zswapped out in /proc/meminfo. Count zswapouts and zswapins in /proc/vmstat.

mm/vmstat: add events for ksm cow

2022-04-29T06:16:16+00:00

Users may use ksm by calling madvise(, , MADV_MERGEABLE) when they want to save memory, it's a tradeoff by suffering delay on ksm cow. Users can get to know how much memory ksm saved by reading /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_sharing, but they don't know what's the costs of ksm cow, and this is important of some delay sensitive tasks. So add ksm cow events to help users evaluate whether or how to use ksm. Also update Documentation/admin-guide/mm/ksm.rst with new added events.

mm/vmstat: add event for ksm swapping in copy

2022-03-22T22:57:09+00:00

When faults in from swap what used to be a KSM page and that page had been swapped in before, system has to make a copy, and leaves remerging the pages to a later pass of ksmd. That is not good for performace, we'd better to reduce this kind of copy. There are some ways to reduce it, for example lessen swappiness or madvise(, , MADV_MERGEABLE) range. So add this event to support doing this tuning. Just like this patch: "mm, THP, swap: add THP swapping out fallback counting".

mm/vmstat: add events for THP max_ptes_* exceeds

2022-01-15T14:30:29+00:00

There are interfaces to adjust max_ptes_none, max_ptes_swap, max_ptes_shared values, see /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/. But system administrator may not know which value is the best. So Add those events to support adjusting max_ptes_* to suitable values. For example, if default max_ptes_swap value causes too much failures, and system uses zram whose IO is fast, administrator could increase max_ptes_swap until THP_SCAN_EXCEED_SWAP_PTE not increase anymore.

x86/mm: track linear mapping split events

2021-05-05T18:27:25+00:00

To help with debugging the sluggishness caused by TLB miss/reload, we introduce monotonic hugepage [direct mapped] split event counts since system state: SYSTEM_RUNNING to be displayed as part of /proc/vmstat in x86 servers The lifetime split event information will be displayed at the bottom of /proc/vmstat .... swap_ra 0 swap_ra_hit 0 direct_map_level2_splits 94 direct_map_level3_splits 4 nr_unstable 0 .... One of the many lasting sources of direct hugepage splits is kernel tracing (kprobes, tracepoints). Note that the kernel's code segment [512 MB] points to the same physical addresses that have been already mapped in the kernel's direct mapping range. Source : Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.rst When we enable kernel tracing, the kernel has to modify attributes/permissions of the text segment hugepages that are direct mapped causing them to split. Kernel's direct mapped hugepages do not coalesce back after split and remain in place for the remainder of the lifetime. An instance of direct page splits when we turn on dynamic kernel tracing .... cat /proc/vmstat | grep -i direct_map_level direct_map_level2_splits 784 direct_map_level3_splits 12 bpftrace -e 'tracepoint:raw_syscalls:sys_enter { @ [pid, comm] = count(); }' cat /proc/vmstat | grep -i direct_map_level direct_map_level2_splits 789 direct_map_level3_splits 12 ....

mm: vmstat: add cma statistics

Since CMA is used more widely, it's worth to have CMA allocation statistics into vmstat. With it, we could know how agressively system uses cma allocation and how often it fails.

Merge branch 'simplify-do_wp_page'

2020-09-04T16:31:54+00:00

Merge emailed patches from Peter Xu: "This is a small series that I picked up from Linus's suggestion to simplify cow handling (and also make it more strict) by checking against page refcounts rather than mapcounts. This makes uffd-wp work again (verified by running upmapsort)" Note: this is horrendously bad timing, and making this kind of fundamental vm change after -rc3 is not at all how things should work. The saving grace is that it really is a a nice simplification: 8 files changed, 29 insertions(+), 120 deletions(-) The reason for the bad timing is that it turns out that commit 17839856fd58 ("gup: document and work around 'COW can break either way' issue" broke not just UFFD functionality (as Peter noticed), but Mikulas Patocka also reports that it caused issues for strace when running in a DAX environment with ext4 on a persistent memory setup. And we can't just revert that commit without re-introducing the original issue that is a potential security hole, so making COW stricter (and in the process much simpler) is a step to then undoing the forced COW that broke other uses.
