mm: folio_may_be_lru_cached() unless folio_test_large()

2025-10-02T11:44:11+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2da6de30e60dd9bb14600eff1cc99df2fa2ddae3 ] mm/swap.c and mm/mlock.c agree to drain any per-CPU batch as soon as a large folio is added: so collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios() just wastes effort when calling lru_add_drain[_all]() on a large folio. But although there is good reason not to batch up PMD-sized folios, we might well benefit from batching a small number of low-order mTHPs (though unclear how that "small number" limitation will be implemented). So ask if folio_may_be_lru_cached() rather than !folio_test_large(), to insulate those particular checks from future change. Name preferred to "folio_is_batchable" because large folios can well be put on a batch: it's just the per-CPU LRU caches, drained much later, which need care. Marked for stable, to counter the increase in lru_add_drain_all()s from "mm/gup: check ref_count instead of lru before migration".

mm: revert "mm/gup: clear the LRU flag of a page before adding to LRU batch"

2025-10-02T11:44:11+00:00

[ Upstream commit afb99e9f500485160f34b8cad6d3763ada3e80e8 ] This reverts commit 33dfe9204f29: now that collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios() is checking ref_count instead of lru, and mlock/munlock do not participate in the revised LRU flag clearing, those changes are misleading, and enlarge the window during which mlock/munlock may miss an mlock_count update. It is possible (I'd hesitate to claim probable) that the greater likelihood of missed mlock_count updates would explain the "Realtime threads delayed due to kcompactd0" observed on 6.12 in the Link below. If that is the case, this reversion will help; but a complete solution needs also a further patch, beyond the scope of this series. Included some 80-column cleanup around folio_batch_add_and_move(). The role of folio_test_clear_lru() (before taking per-memcg lru_lock) is questionable since 6.13 removed mem_cgroup_move_account() etc; but perhaps there are still some races which need it - not examined here.

Fix it by moving the mlocked flag clearance down to free_page_prepare(). The bug itself if fairly old and harmless (aside from generating these warnings), aside from a small memory leak - "bad" pages are stopped from being allocated again.

mm/thp: fix deferred split unqueue naming and locking

2024-11-06T00:49:54+00:00

Recent changes are putting more pressure on THP deferred split queues: under load revealing long-standing races, causing list_del corruptions, "Bad page state"s and worse (I keep BUGs in both of those, so usually don't get to see how badly they end up without). The relevant recent changes being 6.8's mTHP, 6.10's mTHP swapout, and 6.12's mTHP swapin, improved swap allocation, and underused THP splitting. Before fixing locking: rename misleading folio_undo_large_rmappable(), which does not undo large_rmappable, to folio_unqueue_deferred_split(), which is what it does. But that and its out-of-line __callee are mm internals of very limited usability: add comment and WARN_ON_ONCEs to check usage; and return a bool to say if a deferred split was unqueued, which can then be used in WARN_ON_ONCEs around safety checks (sparing callers the arcane conditionals in __folio_unqueue_deferred_split()). Just omit the folio_unqueue_deferred_split() from free_unref_folios(), all of whose callers now call it beforehand (and if any forget then bad_page() will tell) - except for its caller put_pages_list(), which itself no longer has any callers (and will be deleted separately). Swapout: mem_cgroup_swapout() has been resetting folio->memcg_data 0 without checking and unqueueing a THP folio from deferred split list; which is unfortunate, since the split_queue_lock depends on the memcg (when memcg is enabled); so swapout has been unqueueing such THPs later, when freeing the folio, using the pgdat's lock instead: potentially corrupting the memcg's list. __remove_mapping() has frozen refcount to 0 here, so no problem with calling folio_unqueue_deferred_split() before resetting memcg_data. That goes back to 5.4 commit 87eaceb3faa5 ("mm: thp: make deferred split shrinker memcg aware"): which included a check on swapcache before adding to deferred queue, but no check on deferred queue before adding THP to swapcache. That worked fine with the usual sequence of events in reclaim (though there were a couple of rare ways in which a THP on deferred queue could have been swapped out), but 6.12 commit dafff3f4c850 ("mm: split underused THPs") avoids splitting underused THPs in reclaim, which makes swapcache THPs on deferred queue commonplace. Keep the check on swapcache before adding to deferred queue? Yes: it is no longer essential, but preserves the existing behaviour, and is likely to be a worthwhile optimization (vmstat showed much more traffic on the queue under swapping load if the check was removed); update its comment. Memcg-v1 move (deprecated): mem_cgroup_move_account() has been changing folio->memcg_data without checking and unqueueing a THP folio from the deferred list, sometimes corrupting "from" memcg's list, like swapout. Refcount is non-zero here, so folio_unqueue_deferred_split() can only be used in a WARN_ON_ONCE to validate the fix, which must be done earlier: mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range() first try to split the THP (splitting of course unqueues), or skip it if that fails. Not ideal, but moving charge has been requested, and khugepaged should repair the THP later: nobody wants new custom unqueueing code just for this deprecated case. The 87eaceb3faa5 commit did have the code to move from one deferred list to another (but was not conscious of its unsafety while refcount non-0); but that was removed by 5.6 commit fac0516b5534 ("mm: thp: don't need care deferred split queue in memcg charge move path"), which argued that the existence of a PMD mapping guarantees that the THP cannot be on a deferred list. As above, false in rare cases, and now commonly false. Backport to 6.11 should be straightforward. Earlier backports must take care that other _deferred_list fixes and dependencies are included. There is not a strong case for backports, but they can fix cornercases.

mm/swap: take folio refcount after testing the LRU flag

2024-09-02T03:26:10+00:00

Whoever passes a folio to __folio_batch_add_and_move() must hold a reference, otherwise something else would already be messed up. If the folio is referenced, it will not be freed elsewhere, so we can safely clear the folio's lru flag. As discussed with David in [1], we should take the reference after testing the LRU flag, not before.
