memcg: remove __lruvec_stat_mod_folio

2025-11-24T23:08:54+00:00

__lruvec_stat_mod_folio() is already safe against irqs, so there is no need to have a separate interface (i.e. lruvec_stat_mod_folio) which wraps calls to it with irq disabling and reenabling. Let's rename __lruvec_stat_mod_folio() to lruvec_stat_mod_folio().

memcg: use mod_node_page_state to update stats

2025-11-24T23:08:53+00:00

Patch series "memcg: cleanup the memcg stats interfaces". The memcg stats are safe against irq (and nmi) context and thus does not require disabling irqs. However for some stats which are also maintained at node level, it is using irq unsafe interface and thus requiring the users to still disables irqs or use interfaces which explicitly disables irqs. Let's move memcg code to use irq safe node level stats function which is already optimized for architectures with HAVE_CMPXCHG_LOCAL (all major ones), so there will not be any performance penalty for its usage. This patch (of 4): The memcg stats are safe against irq (and nmi) context and thus does not require disabling irqs. However some code paths for memcg stats also update the node level stats and use irq unsafe interface and thus require the users to disable irqs. However node level stats, on architectures with HAVE_CMPXCHG_LOCAL (all major ones), has interface which does not require irq disabling. Let's move memcg stats code to start using that interface for node level stats.

mm/vmstat: make MEMCG select VM_EVENT_COUNTERS

2025-07-20T01:59:46+00:00

The vmstat_text array contains labels for counters displayed in /proc/vmstat. It is important to keep the labels in sync with the counters. There is a BUILD_BUG_ON() check in vmstat_start() that ensures the size of the vmstat_text is not smaller than VM_EVENT_COUNTERS. This helps to catch cases where a new counter is added but the label is not. However, it does not help if a counter is removed but the label remains. It would be nice to make the BUILD_BUG_ON() check more strict to catch such cases. However, when compiling with MEMCG enabled but VM_EVENT_COUNTERS disabled, the vmstat_text array is larger than NR_VMSTAT_ITEMS. This issue arises because some elements of the vmstat_text array are present when either MEMCG or VM_EVENT_COUNTERS is enabled, but NR_VMSTAT_ITEMS only accounts for these elements if VM_EVENT_COUNTERS is enabled. Instead of adjusting the NR_VMSTAT_ITEMS definition to account for MEMCG, make MEMCG select VM_EVENT_COUNTERS. VM_EVENT_COUNTERS is enabled in most configurations anyway.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide compile-time checking of percpu area accesses. This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect. - The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code. - The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed. - The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained. - The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime effects are anticipated. - The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark. - The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan noticed when working on the swap code. - The series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak user-visible output. - The series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's handling of large folios. - The series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk() behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of kdamond's walking of DAMON regions. - The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory work for the future removal of page structure fields. - The series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter" from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by huge page sizes. - The series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings" from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and file-backed mappings. - The series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping for pte-mapped large folios. - The series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one microbenchmark. - The series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON docs. - The series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed when using CMA on large machines. - The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages" from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the page's mapped/unmapped status. - The series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression operations preemptibly. - The series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan encountered while runnimg our selftests. - The series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to determine whether a particular page is a guard page. - The series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply wasn't being effective. - The series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this code. - The series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP Kconfig logic. - The series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for DAMON's aggregation interval tuning. - The series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize vmalloc. - The series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the code easier to follow. - The series "page_counter cleanup and size reduction" from Shakeel Butt cleans up the page_counter code and fixes a size increase which we accidentally added late last year. - The series "Add a command line option that enables control of how many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas Prescher does that.

mm,memcg: provide per-cgroup counters for NUMA balancing operations

2024-09-04T04:15:36+00:00

The ability to observe the demotion and promotion decisions made by the kernel on a per-cgroup basis is important for monitoring and tuning containerized workloads on machines equipped with tiered memory. Different containers in the system may experience drastically different memory tiering actions that cannot be distinguished from the global counters alone. For example, a container running a workload that has a much hotter memory accesses will likely see more promotions and fewer demotions, potentially depriving a colocated container of top tier memory to such an extent that its performance degrades unacceptably. For another example, some containers may exhibit longer periods between data reuse, causing much more numa_hint_faults than numa_pages_migrated. In this case, tuning hot_threshold_ms may be appropriate, but the signal can easily be lost if only global counters are available. In the long term, we hope to introduce per-cgroup control of promotion and demotion actions to implement memory placement policies in tiering. This patch set adds seven counters to memory.stat in a cgroup: numa_pages_migrated, numa_pte_updates, numa_hint_faults, pgdemote_kswapd, pgdemote_khugepaged, pgdemote_direct and pgpromote_success. pgdemote_* and pgpromote_success are also available in memory.numa_stat. count_memcg_events_mm() is added to count multiple event occurrences at once, and get_mem_cgroup_from_folio() is added because we need to get a reference to the memcg of a folio before it's migrated to track numa_pages_migrated. The accounting of PGDEMOTE_* is moved to shrink_inactive_list() before being changed to per-cgroup.

In addition, there are challenges with keeping the node id of the memory that is being remove to the time when memmap accounting is actually performed: since this is done after remove_pfn_range_from_zone(), and also after remove_memory_block_devices(). Meaning that we cannot use pgdat nor walking though memblocks to get the nid. Given all of that, account the memmap overhead system wide instead. For this we are going to be using global atomic counters, but given that memmap size is rarely modified, and normally is only modified either during early boot when there is only one CPU, or under a hotplug global mutex lock, therefore there is no need for per-cpu optimizations. Also, while we are here rename nr_memmap to nr_memmap_pages, and nr_memmap_boot to nr_memmap_boot_pages to be self explanatory that the units are in page count.
