2020-04-07mm/zswap: allow setting default status, compressor and allocator in KconfigMaciej S. Szmigiero1-12/+12
The compressed cache for swap pages (zswap) currently needs from 1 to 3 extra kernel command line parameters in order to make it work: it has to be enabled by adding a "zswap.enabled=1" command line parameter and if one wants a different compressor or pool allocator than the default lzo / zbud combination then these choices also need to be specified on the kernel command line in additional parameters. Using a different compressor and allocator for zswap is actually pretty common as guides often recommend using the lz4 / z3fold pair instead of the default one. In such case it is also necessary to remember to enable the appropriate compression algorithm and pool allocator in the kernel config manually. Let's avoid the need for adding these kernel command line parameters and automatically pull in the dependencies for the selected compressor algorithm and pool allocator by adding an appropriate default switches to Kconfig. The default values for these options match what the code was using previously as its defaults. Signed-off-by: Maciej S.

2020-01-31zswap: potential NULL dereference on error in init_zswap()Dan Carpenter1-1/+2
The "pool" pointer can be NULL at the end of the init_zswap(). (We would allocate a new pool later in that situation) So in the error handling then we need to make sure pool is a valid pointer before calling "zswap_pool_destroy(pool);" because that function dereferences the argument.

2020-01-31mm/zswap.c: add allocation hysteresis if pool limit is hitVitaly Wool1-31/+54
zswap will always try to shrink pool when zswap is full. If there is a high pressure on zswap it will result in flipping pages in and out zswap pool without any real benefit, and the overall system performance will drop. The previous discussion on this subject [1] ended up with a suggestion to implement a sort of hysteresis to refuse taking pages into zswap pool until it has sufficient space if the limit has been hit. This is my take on this. Hysteresis is controlled with a sysfs-configurable parameter (namely, /sys/kernel/debug/zswap/accept_threhsold_percent). It specifies the threshold at which zswap would start accepting pages again after it became full. Setting this parameter to 100 disables the hysteresis and sets the zswap behavior to pre-hysteresis state.

2019-09-25zswap: do not map same object twiceVitaly Wool1-4/+3
zswap_writeback_entry() maps a handle to read swpentry first, and then in the most common case it would map the same handle again. This is ok when zbud is the backend since its mapping callback is plain and simple, but it slows things down for z3fold. Since there's hardly a point in unmapping a handle _that_ fast as zswap_writeback_entry() does when it reads swpentry, the suggestion is to keep the handle mapped till the end.

2019-09-25zswap: use movable memory if zpool support allocate movable memoryHui Zhu1-3/+5
This is the third version that was updated according to the comments from Sergey Senozhatsky https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/29/73 and Shakeel Butt https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/6/4/973 zswap compresses swap pages into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool. The memory pool should be zbud, z3fold or zsmalloc. All of them will allocate unmovable pages. It will increase the number of unmovable page blocks that will bad for anti-fragment. zsmalloc support page migration if request movable page: handle = zs_malloc(zram->mem_pool, comp_len, GFP_NOIO | __GFP_HIGHMEM | __GFP_MOVABLE); And commit "zpool: Add malloc_support_movable to zpool_driver" add zpool_malloc_support_movable check malloc_support_movable to make sure if a zpool support allocate movable memory. This commit let zswap allocate block with gfp __GFP_HIGHMEM | __GFP_MOVABLE if zpool support allocate movable memory. Following part is test log in a pc that has 8G memory and 2G swap.

It was discussed in length here, https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing poteintial store-to-read tearing as a bonus.

2018-07-27zswap: re-check zswap_is_full() after do zswap_shrink()Li Wang1-0/+9
/sys/../zswap/stored_pages keeps rising in a zswap test with "zswap.max_pool_percent=0" parameter. But it should not compress or store pages any more since there is no space in the compressed pool. Reproduce steps: 1. Boot kernel with "zswap.enabled=1" 2. Set the max_pool_percent to 0 # echo 0 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/max_pool_percent 3. Do memory stress test to see if some pages have been compressed # stress --vm 1 --vm-bytes $mem_available"M" --timeout 60s 4. Watching the 'stored_pages' number increasing or not The root cause is: When zswap_max_pool_percent is set to 0 via kernel parameter, zswap_is_full() will always return true due to zswap_shrink(). But if the shinking is able to reclain a page successfully the code then proceeds to compressing/storing another page, so the value of stored_pages will keep changing. To solve the issue, this patch adds a zswap_is_full() check again after zswap_shrink() to make sure it's now under the max_pool_percent, and to not compress/store if we reached the limit.

The root cause is as follows: When the pages are written to swap device during swapping out in swap_writepage(), zswap (fontswap) is tried to compress the pages to improve performance. But zswap (frontswap) will treat THP as a normal page, so only the head page is saved. After swapping in, tail pages will not be restored to their original contents, causing memory corruption in the applications. This is fixed by refusing to save page in the frontswap store functions if the page is a THP. So that the THP will be swapped out to swap device. Another choice is to split THP if frontswap is enabled. But it is found that the frontswap enabling isn't flexible. For example, if CONFIG_ZSWAP=y (cannot be module), frontswap will be enabled even if zswap itself isn't enabled. Frontswap has multiple backends, to make it easy for one backend to enable THP support, the THP checking is put in backend frontswap store functions instead of the general interfaces.

2018-02-01zswap: same-filled pages handlingSrividya Desireddy1-5/+66
Zswap is a cache which compresses the pages that are being swapped out and stores them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool. Experiments have shown that around 10-20% of pages stored in zswap are same-filled pages (i.e. contents of the page are all same), but these pages are handled as normal pages by compressing and allocating memory in the pool. This patch adds a check in zswap_frontswap_store() to identify same-filled page before compression of the page. If the page is a same-filled page, set zswap_entry.length to zero, save the same-filled value and skip the compression of the page and alloction of memory in zpool. In zswap_frontswap_load(), check if value of zswap_entry.length is zero corresponding to the page to be loaded. If zswap_entry.length is zero, fill the page with same-filled value. This saves the decompression time during load. On a ARM Quad Core 32-bit device with 1.5GB RAM by launching and relaunching different applications, out of ~64000 pages stored in zswap, ~11000 pages were same-value filled pages (including zero-filled pages) and ~9000 pages were zero-filled pages.

2017-02-28zswap: don't param_set_charp while holding spinlockDan Streetman1-7/+13
Change the zpool/compressor param callback function to release the zswap_pools_lock spinlock before calling param_set_charp, since that function may sleep when it calls kmalloc with GFP_KERNEL. While this problem has existed for a while, I wasn't able to trigger it using a tight loop changing either/both the zpool and compressor params; I think it's very unlikely to be an issue on the stable kernels, especially since most zswap users will change the compressor and/or zpool from sysfs only one time each boot - or zero times, if they add the params to the kernel boot.

2017-02-04zswap: disable changing params if init failsDan Streetman1-1/+29
Add zswap_init_failed bool that prevents changing any of the module params, if init_zswap() fails, and set zswap_enabled to false. Change 'enabled' param to a callback, and check zswap_init_failed before allowing any change to 'enabled', 'zpool', or 'compressor' params. Any driver that is built-in to the kernel will not be unloaded if its init function returns error, and its module params remain accessible for users to change via sysfs. Since zswap uses param callbacks, which assume that zswap has been initialized, changing the zswap params after a failed initialization will result in WARNING due to the param callbacks expecting a pool to already exist. This prevents that by immediately exiting any of the param callbacks if initialization failed. This was reported here: https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=147004228125528&w=4 And fixes this WARNING: [ 429.723476] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5140 at mm/zswap.c:503 __zswap_pool_current+0x56/0x60 The warning is just noise, and not serious. However, when init fails, zswap frees all its percpu dstmem pages and its kmem cache. The kmem cache might be serious, if kmem_cache_alloc(NULL, gfp) has problems; but the percpu dstmem pages are definitely a problem, as they're used as temporary buffer for compressed pages before copying into place in the zpool. If the user does get zswap enabled after an init failure, then zswap will likely Oops on the first page it tries to compress (or worse, start corrupting memory).

2016-05-21mm/zswap: use workqueue to destroy poolDan Streetman1-4/+8
Add a work_struct to struct zswap_pool, and change __zswap_pool_empty to use the workqueue instead of using call_rcu(). When zswap destroys a pool no longer in use, it uses call_rcu() to perform the destruction/freeing. Since that executes in softirq context, it must not sleep. However, actually destroying the pool involves freeing the per-cpu compressors (which requires locking the cpu_add_remove_lock mutex) and freeing the zpool, for which the implementation may sleep (e.g. zsmalloc calls kmem_cache_destroy, which locks the slab_mutex). So if either mutex is currently taken, or any other part of the compressor or zpool implementation sleeps, it will result in a BUG(). It's not easy to reproduce this when changing zswap's params normally. In testing with a loaded system, this does not fail: $ cd /sys/module/zswap/parameters $ echo lz4 > compressor ; echo zsmalloc > zpool nor does this: $ while true ; do > echo lzo > compressor ; echo zbud > zpool > sleep 1 > echo lz4 > compressor ; echo zsmalloc > zpool > sleep 1 > done although it's still possible either of those might fail, depending on whether anything else besides zswap has locked the mutexes. However, changing a parameter with no delay immediately causes the schedule while atomic BUG: $ while true ; do > echo lzo > compressor ; echo lz4 > compressor > done This is essentially the same as Yu Zhao's proposed patch to zsmalloc, but moved to zswap, to cover compressor and zpool freeing.

2016-05-06mm/zswap: provide unique zpool nameDan Streetman1-1/+7
Instead of using "zswap" as the name for all zpools created, add an atomic counter and use "zswap%x" with the counter number for each zpool created, to provide a unique name for each new zpool. As zsmalloc, one of the zpool implementations, requires/expects a unique name for each pool created, zswap should provide a unique name. The zsmalloc pool creation does not fail if a new pool with a conflicting name is created, unless CONFIG_ZSMALLOC_STAT is enabled; in that case, zsmalloc pool creation fails with -ENOMEM. Then zswap will be unable to change its compressor parameter if its zpool is zsmalloc; it also will be unable to change its zpool parameter back to zsmalloc, if it has any existing old zpool using zsmalloc with page(s) in it. Attempts to change the parameters will result in failure to create the zpool. This changes zswap to provide a unique name for each zpool creation.

2016-04-04mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macrosKirill A. Shutemov1-2/+2
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2015-11-07mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to ↵Mel Gorman1-2/+3
sleep and avoiding waking kswapd __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

2014-08-09mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge APIJohannes Weiner1-1/+1
The memcg uncharging code that is involved towards the end of a page's lifetime - truncation, reclaim, swapout, migration - is impressively complicated and fragile. Because anonymous and file pages were always charged before they had their page->mapping established, uncharges had to happen when the page type could still be known from the context; as in unmap for anonymous, page cache removal for file and shmem pages, and swap cache truncation for swap pages. However, these operations happen well before the page is actually freed, and so a lot of synchronization is necessary: - Charging, uncharging, page migration, and charge migration all need to take a per-page bit spinlock as they could race with uncharging. - Swap cache truncation happens during both swap-in and swap-out, and possibly repeatedly before the page is actually freed. This means that the memcg swapout code is called from many contexts that make no sense and it has to figure out the direction from page state to make sure memory and memory+swap are always correctly charged. - On page migration, the old page might be unmapped but then reused, so memcg code has to prevent untimely uncharging in that case. Because this code - which should be a simple charge transfer - is so special-cased, it is not reusable for replace_page_cache(). But now that charged pages always have a page->mapping, introduce mem_cgroup_uncharge(), which is called after the final put_page(), when we know for sure that nobody is looking at the page anymore. For page migration, introduce mem_cgroup_migrate(), which is called after the migration is successful and the new page is fully rmapped. Because the old page is no longer uncharged after migration, prevent double charges by decoupling the page's memcg association (PCG_USED and pc->mem_cgroup) from the page holding an actual charge. The new bits PCG_MEM and PCG_MEMSW represent the respective charges and are transferred to the new page during migration. mem_cgroup_migrate() is suitable for replace_page_cache() as well, which gets rid of mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache(). However, care needs to be taken because both the source and the target page can already be charged and on the LRU when fuse is splicing: grab the page lock on the charge moving side to prevent changing pc->mem_cgroup of a page under migration. Also, the lruvecs of both pages change as we uncharge the old and charge the new during migration, and putback may race with us, so grab the lru lock and isolate the pages iff on LRU to prevent races and ensure the pages are on the right lruvec afterward. Swap accounting is massively simplified: because the page is no longer uncharged as early as swap cache deletion, a new mem_cgroup_swapout() can transfer the page's memory+swap charge (PCG_MEMSW) to the swap entry before the final put_page() in page reclaim. Finally, page_cgroup changes are now protected by whatever protection the page itself offers: anonymous pages are charged under the page table lock, whereas page cache insertions, swapin, and migration hold the page lock. Uncharging happens under full exclusion with no outstanding references. Charging and uncharging also ensure that the page is off-LRU, which serializes against charge migration. Remove the very costly page_cgroup lock and set pc->flags non-atomically.

2014-04-08mm/zswap: support multiple swap devicesMinchan Kim1-31/+33
Cai Liu reporeted that now zbud pool pages counting has a problem when multiple swap is used because it just counts only one swap intead of all of swap so zswap cannot control writeback properly. The result is unnecessary writeback or no writeback when we should really writeback. IOW, it made zswap crazy. Another problem in zswap is: For example, let's assume we use two swap A and B with different priority and A already has charged 19% long time ago and let's assume that A swap is full now so VM start to use B so that B has charged 1% recently. It menas zswap charged (19% + 1%) is full by default. Then, if VM want to swap out more pages into B, zbud_reclaim_page would be evict one of pages in B's pool and it would be repeated continuously. It's totally LRU reverse problem and swap thrashing in B would happen. This patch makes zswap consider mutliple swap by creating *a* zbud pool which will be shared by multiple swap so all of zswap pages in multiple swap keep order by LRU so it can prevent above two problems.

2014-03-20mm, zswap: Fix CPU hotplug callback registrationSrivatsa S. Bhat1-4/+4
Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown below: get_online_cpus(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); put_online_cpus(); This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently with CPU hotplug operations). Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback registration is: cpu_notifier_register_begin(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); /* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */ __register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); cpu_notifier_register_done(); Fix the zswap code by using this latter form of callback registration.
