mm: fix NULL pointer dereference in alloc_pages_bulk_noprof
We triggered a NULL pointer dereference for ac.preferred_zoneref->zone in
alloc_pages_bulk_noprof() when the task is migrated between cpusets.
When cpuset is enabled, in prepare_alloc_pages(), ac->nodemask may be
¤t->mems_allowed. when first_zones_zonelist() is called to find
preferred_zoneref, the ac->nodemask may be modified concurrently if the
task is migrated between different cpusets. Assuming we have 2 NUMA Node,
when traversing Node1 in ac->zonelist, the nodemask is 2, and when
traversing Node2 in ac->zonelist, the nodemask is 1. As a result, the
ac->preferred_zoneref points to NULL zone.
In alloc_pages_bulk_noprof(), for_each_zone_zonelist_nodemask() finds a
allowable zone and calls zonelist_node_idx(ac.preferred_zoneref), leading
to NULL pointer dereference.
__alloc_pages_noprof() fixes this issue by checking NULL pointer in commit
ea57485af8 ("mm, page_alloc: fix check for NULL preferred_zone") and
commit df76cee6bb ("mm, page_alloc: remove redundant checks from alloc
fastpath").
To fix it, check NULL pointer for preferred_zoneref->zone.

mm/page_alloc: let GFP_ATOMIC order-0 allocs access highatomic reserves
Under memory pressure it's possible for GFP_ATOMIC order-0 allocations to
fail even though free pages are available in the highatomic reserves.
GFP_ATOMIC allocations cannot trigger unreserve_highatomic_pageblock()
since it's only run from reclaim.
Given that such allocations will pass the watermarks in
__zone_watermark_unusable_free(), it makes sense to fallback to highatomic
reserves the same way that ALLOC_OOM can.
This fixes order-0 page allocation failures observed on Cloudflare's fleet
when handling network packets:

mm: fix endless reclaim on machines with unaccepted memory
Unaccepted memory is considered unusable free memory, which is not counted
as free on the zone watermark check. This causes get_page_from_freelist()
to accept more memory to hit the high watermark, but it creates problems
in the reclaim path.
The reclaim path encounters a failed zone watermark check and attempts to
reclaim memory. This is usually successful, but if there is little or no
reclaimable memory, it can result in endless reclaim with little to no
progress. This can occur early in the boot process, just after start of
the init process when the only reclaimable memory is the page cache of the
init executable and its libraries.
Make unaccepted memory free from watermark check point of view. This way
unaccepted memory will never be the trigger of memory reclaim. Accept
more memory in the get_page_from_freelist() if needed.

mm/page_alloc: fix pcp->count race between drain_pages_zone() vs __rmqueue_pcplist()
It's expected that no page should be left in pcp_list after calling
zone_pcp_disable() in offline_pages(). Previously, it's observed that
offline_pages() gets stuck [1] due to some pages remaining in pcp_list.
Cause:
There is a race condition between drain_pages_zone() and __rmqueue_pcplist()
involving the pcp->count variable. See below scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---------------- ---------------
spin_lock(&pcp->lock);
__rmqueue_pcplist() {
zone_pcp_disable() {
/* list is empty */
if (list_empty(list)) {
/* add pages to pcp_list */
alloced = rmqueue_bulk()
mutex_lock(&pcp_batch_high_lock)
...
__drain_all_pages() {
drain_pages_zone() {
/* read pcp->count, it's 0 here */
count = READ_ONCE(pcp->count)
/* 0 means nothing to drain */
/* update pcp->count */
pcp->count += alloced << order;
...
...
spin_unlock(&pcp->lock);
In this case, after calling zone_pcp_disable() though, there are still some
pages in pcp_list. And these pages in pcp_list are neither movable nor
isolated, offline_pages() gets stuck as a result.
Solution:
Expand the scope of the pcp->lock to also protect pcp->count in
drain_pages_zone(), to ensure no pages are left in the pcp list after
zone_pcp_disable()

mm/page_alloc: Separate THP PCP into movable and non-movable categories
Since commit 5d0a661d808f ("mm/page_alloc: use only one PCP list for
THP-sized allocations") no longer differentiates the migration type of
pages in THP-sized PCP list, it's possible that non-movable allocation
requests may get a CMA page from the list, in some cases, it's not
acceptable.
If a large number of CMA memory are configured in system (for example, the
CMA memory accounts for 50% of the system memory), starting a virtual
machine with device passthrough will get stuck. During starting the
virtual machine, it will call pin_user_pages_remote(..., FOLL_LONGTERM,
...) to pin memory. Normally if a page is present and in CMA area,
pin_user_pages_remote() will migrate the page from CMA area to non-CMA
area because of FOLL_LONGTERM flag. But if non-movable allocation
requests return CMA memory, migrate_longterm_unpinnable_pages() will
migrate a CMA page to another CMA page, which will fail to pass the check
in check_and_migrate_movable_pages() and cause migration endless.
Call trace:
pin_user_pages_remote
--__gup_longterm_locked // endless loops in this function
----_get_user_pages_locked
----check_and_migrate_movable_pages
------migrate_longterm_unpinnable_pages
--------alloc_migration_target
This problem will also have a negative impact on CMA itself. For example,
when CMA is borrowed by THP, and we need to reclaim it through cma_alloc()
or dma_alloc_coherent(), we must move those pages out to ensure CMA's
users can retrieve that contigous memory. Currently, CMA's memory is
occupied by non-movable pages, meaning we can't relocate them. As a
result, cma_alloc() is more likely to fail.
To fix the problem above, we add one PCP list for THP, which will not
introduce a new cacheline for struct per_cpu_pages. THP will have 2 PCP
lists, one PCP list is used by MOVABLE allocation, and the other PCP list
is used by UNMOVABLE allocation. MOVABLE allocation contains GPF_MOVABLE,
and UNMOVABLE allocation contains GFP_UNMOVABLE and GFP_RECLAIMABLE.

mm: page_alloc: use the correct THP order for THP PCP
Commit 44042b4498 ("mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored
on the per-cpu lists") extends the PCP allocator to store THP pages, and
it determines whether to cache THP pages in PCP by comparing with
pageblock_order. But the pageblock_order is not always equal to THP
order. It might also be MAX_PAGE_ORDER, which could prevent PCP from
caching THP pages.
Therefore, using HPAGE_PMD_ORDER instead to determine the need for caching
THP for PCP will fix this issue

mm: page_alloc: control latency caused by zone PCP draining
Patch series "mm/treewide: Remove pXd_huge() API", v2.
In previous work [1], we removed the pXd_large() API, which is arch
specific. This patchset further removes the hugetlb pXd_huge() API.
Hugetlb was never special on creating huge mappings when compared with
other huge mappings. Having a standalone API just to detect such pgtable
entries is more or less redundant, especially after the pXd_leaf() API set
is introduced with/without CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE.
When looking at this problem, a few issues are also exposed that we don't
have a clear definition of the *_huge() variance API. This patchset
started by cleaning these issues first, then replace all *_huge() users to
use *_leaf(), then drop all *_huge() code.
On x86/sparc, swap entries will be reported "true" in pXd_huge(), while
for all the rest archs they're reported "false" instead. This part is
done in patch 1-5, in which I suspect patch 1 can be seen as a bug fix,
but I'll leave that to hmm experts to decide.
Besides, there are three archs (arm, arm64, powerpc) that have slightly
different definitions between the *_huge() v.s. *_leaf() variances. I
tackled them separately so that it'll be easier for arch experts to chim
in when necessary. This part is done in patch 6-9.
The final patches 10-14 do the rest on the final removal, since *_leaf()
will be the ultimate API in the future, and we seem to have quite some
confusions on how *_huge() APIs can be defined, provide a rich comment for
*_leaf() API set to define them properly to avoid future misuse, and
hopefully that'll also help new archs to start support huge mappings and
avoid traps (like either swap entries, or PROT_NONE entry checks).

This patch (of 14):
When the complete PCP is drained a much larger number of pages than the
usual batch size might be freed at once, causing large IRQ and preemption
latency spikes, as they are all freed while holding the pcp and zone
spinlocks.
To avoid those latency spikes, limit the number of pages freed in a single
bulk operation to common batch limits.

mm, vmscan: prevent infinite loop for costly GFP_NOIO | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL allocations
Sven reports an infinite loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath() for costly order
__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL allocations that are also GFP_NOIO. Such combination
can happen in a suspend/resume context where a GFP_KERNEL allocation can
have __GFP_IO masked out via gfp_allowed_mask.
Quoting Sven:
1. try to do a "costly" allocation (order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER)
with __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL set.
2. page alloc's __alloc_pages_slowpath tries to get a page from the
freelist. This fails because there is nothing free of that costly
order.
3. page alloc tries to reclaim by calling __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim,
which bails out because a zone is ready to be compacted; it pretends
to have made a single page of progress.
4. page alloc tries to compact, but this always bails out early because
__GFP_IO is not set (it's not passed by the snd allocator, and even
if it were, we are suspending so the __GFP_IO flag would be cleared
anyway).
5. page alloc believes reclaim progress was made (because of the
pretense in item 3) and so it checks whether it should retry
compaction. The compaction retry logic thinks it should try again,
because:
a) reclaim is needed because of the early bail-out in item 4
b) a zonelist is suitable for compaction
6. goto 2. indefinite stall.
(end quote)
The immediate root cause is confusing the COMPACT_SKIPPED returned from
__alloc_pages_direct_compact() (step 4) due to lack of __GFP_IO to be
indicating a lack of order-0 pages, and in step 5 evaluating that in
should_compact_retry() as a reason to retry, before incrementing and
limiting the number of retries. There are however other places that
wrongly assume that compaction can happen while we lack __GFP_IO.
To fix this, introduce gfp_compaction_allowed() to abstract the __GFP_IO
evaluation and switch the open-coded test in try_to_compact_pages() to use
it.
Also use the new helper in:
- compaction_ready(), which will make reclaim not bail out in step 3, so
there's at least one attempt to actually reclaim, even if chances are
small for a costly order
- in_reclaim_compaction() which will make should_continue_reclaim()
return false and we don't over-reclaim unnecessarily
- in __alloc_pages_slowpath() to set a local variable can_compact,
which is then used to avoid retrying reclaim/compaction for costly
allocations (step 5) if we can't compact and also to skip the early
compaction attempt that we do in some cases

mm, treewide: rename MAX_ORDER to MAX_PAGE_ORDER
commit 23baf831a32c ("mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely") has
changed the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive. This has caused
issues with code that was not yet upstream and depended on the previous
definition.
To draw attention to the altered meaning of the define, rename MAX_ORDER
to MAX_PAGE_ORDER.

NR_PAGE_ORDERS defines the number of page orders supported by the page

NR_PAGE_ORDERS assists in defining arrays of page orders and allows for
more natural iteration over them.

mm: page_alloc: check the order of compound page even when the order is zero
For compound pages, the head sets the PG_head flag and the tail sets the
compound_head to indicate the head page. If a user allocates a compound
page and frees it with a different order, the compound page information
will not be properly initialized. To detect this problem,
compound_order(page) and the order argument are compared, but this is not
checked when the order argument is zero. That error should be checked
regardless of the order.

commit 8ce41b0f9d77cca074df25afd39b86e2ee3aa68e
Author: Jinjiang Tu <tujinjiang@huawei.com>

mm: fix NULL pointer dereference in alloc_pages_bulk_noprof
We triggered a NULL pointer dereference for ac.preferred_zoneref->zone in
alloc_pages_bulk_noprof() when the task is migrated between cpusets.
When cpuset is enabled, in prepare_alloc_pages(), ac->nodemask may be
¤t->mems_allowed. when first_zones_zonelist() is called to find
preferred_zoneref, the ac->nodemask may be modified concurrently if the
task is migrated between different cpusets. Assuming we have 2 NUMA Node,
when traversing Node1 in ac->zonelist, the nodemask is 2, and when
traversing Node2 in ac->zonelist, the nodemask is 1. As a result, the
ac->preferred_zoneref points to NULL zone.
In alloc_pages_bulk_noprof(), for_each_zone_zonelist_nodemask() finds a
allowable zone and calls zonelist_node_idx(ac.preferred_zoneref), leading
to NULL pointer dereference.
__alloc_pages_noprof() fixes this issue by checking NULL pointer in commit
ea57485af8 ("mm, page_alloc: fix check for NULL preferred_zone") and
commit df76cee6bb ("mm, page_alloc: remove redundant checks from alloc
fastpath").
To fix it, check NULL pointer for preferred_zoneref->zone.

This patch (of 2):
get_pfnblock_flags_mask() just calls inline inner
__get_pfnblock_flags_mask without any extra work. Just opencode
__get_pfnblock_flags_mask in get_pfnblock_flags_mask and replace call to
__get_pfnblock_flags_mask with call to get_pfnblock_flags_mask to remove
unnecessary __get_pfnblock_flags_mask.

mm: page_alloc: avoid false page outside zone error info
If pfn is outside zone boundaries in the first round, ret will be set to
1. But if pfn is changed to inside the zone boundaries in zone span
seqretry path, ret is still set to 1 leading to false page outside zone
error info.
This is from code inspection. The race window should be really small thus
hard to trigger in real world.

mm: compaction: remove compaction result helpers
Patch series "mm: compaction: cleanups & simplifications".
These compaction cleanups are split out from the huge page allocator
series[1], as requested by reviewer feedback.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20230418191313.268131-1-hannes@cmpxchg.org/
This patch (of 5):
The compaction result helpers encode quirks that are specific to the
allocator's retry logic. E.g. COMPACT_SUCCESS and COMPACT_COMPLETE
actually represent failures that should be retried upon, and so on. I
frequently found myself pulling up the helper implementation in order to
understand and work on the retry logic. They're not quite clean
abstractions; rather they split the retry logic into two locations.
Remove the helpers and inline the checks. Then comment on the result
interpretations directly where the decision making happens.

mm and cache_info: remove unnecessary CPU cache info update
For each CPU hotplug event, we will update per-CPU data slice size and
corresponding PCP configuration for every online CPU to make the
implementation simple. But, Kyle reported that this takes tens seconds
during boot on a machine with 34 zones and 3840 CPUs.
So, in this patch, for each CPU hotplug event, we only update per-CPU data
slice size and corresponding PCP configuration for the CPUs that share
caches with the hotplugged CPU. With the patch, the system boot time
reduces 67 seconds on the machine.

mm, pcp: reduce detecting time of consecutive high order page freeing
In current PCP auto-tuning design, if the number of pages allocated is
much more than that of pages freed on a CPU, the PCP high may become the
maximal value even if the allocating/freeing depth is small, for example,
in the sender of network workloads. If a CPU was used as sender
originally, then it is used as receiver after context switching, we need
to fill the whole PCP with maximal high before triggering PCP draining for
consecutive high order freeing. This will hurt the performance of some
network workloads.
To solve the issue, in this patch, we will track the consecutive page
freeing with a counter in stead of relying on PCP draining. So, we can
detect consecutive page freeing much earlier.
On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, we tested
SCTP_STREAM_MANY test case of netperf test suite with 64-pair processes.
With the patch, the network bandwidth improves 5.0%. This restores the
performance drop caused by PCP auto-tuning.

mm, pcp: decrease PCP high if free pages < high watermark
One target of PCP is to minimize pages in PCP if the system free pages is
too few. To reach that target, when page reclaiming is active for the
zone (ZONE_RECLAIM_ACTIVE), we will stop increasing PCP high in allocating
path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. But this may
be too late because the background page reclaiming may introduce latency
for some workloads. So, in this patch, during page allocation we will
detect whether the number of free pages of the zone is below high
watermark. If so, we will stop increasing PCP high in allocating path,
decrease PCP high and free some pages in freeing path. With this, we can
reduce the possibility of the premature background page reclaiming caused
by too large PCP.
The high watermark checking is done in allocating path to reduce the
overhead in hotter freeing path.

mm: tune PCP high automatically
The target to tune PCP high automatically is as follows,
- Minimize allocation/freeing from/to shared zone
- Minimize idle pages in PCP
- Minimize pages in PCP if the system free pages is too few
To reach these target, a tuning algorithm as follows is designed,
- When we refill PCP via allocating from the zone, increase PCP high.
Because if we had larger PCP, we could avoid to allocate from the
zone.
- In periodic vmstat updating kworker (via refresh_cpu_vm_stats()),
decrease PCP high to try to free possible idle PCP pages.
- When page reclaiming is active for the zone, stop increasing PCP
high in allocating path, decrease PCP high and free some pages in
freeing path.
So, the PCP high can be tuned to the page allocating/freeing depth of
workloads eventually.
One issue of the algorithm is that if the number of pages allocated is
much more than that of pages freed on a CPU, the PCP high may become the
maximal value even if the allocating/freeing depth is small. But this
isn't a severe issue, because there are no idle pages in this case.
One alternative choice is to increase PCP high when we drain PCP via
trying to free pages to the zone, but don't increase PCP high during PCP
refilling. This can avoid the issue above. But if the number of pages
allocated is much less than that of pages freed on a CPU, there will be
many idle pages in PCP and it is hard to free these idle pages.
1/8 (>> 3) of PCP high will be decreased periodically. The value 1/8 is
kind of arbitrary. Just to make sure that the idle PCP pages will be
freed eventually.
On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances
in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup. This simulates the
kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service. With the patch, the
build time decreases 3.5%. The cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly
for zone lock) decreases from 11.0% to 0.5%. The number of PCP draining
for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 65.6%. The number of
pages allocated from zone (instead of from PCP) decreases 83.9%.

mm: add framework for PCP high auto-tuning
The page allocation performance requirements of different workloads are
usually different. So, we need to tune PCP (per-CPU pageset) high to
optimize the workload page allocation performance. Now, we have a system
wide sysctl knob (percpu_pagelist_high_fraction) to tune PCP high by hand.
But, it's hard to find out the best value by hand. And one global
configuration may not work best for the different workloads that run on
the same system. One solution to these issues is to tune PCP high of each
CPU automatically.
This patch adds the framework for PCP high auto-tuning. With it,
pcp->high of each CPU will be changed automatically by tuning algorithm at
runtime. The minimal high (pcp->high_min) is the original PCP high value
calculated based on the low watermark pages. While the maximal high
(pcp->high_max) is the PCP high value when percpu_pagelist_high_fraction
sysctl knob is set to MIN_PERCPU_PAGELIST_HIGH_FRACTION. That is, the
maximal pcp->high that can be set via sysctl knob by hand.
It's possible that PCP high auto-tuning doesn't work well for some
workloads. So, when PCP high is tuned by hand via the sysctl knob, the
auto-tuning will be disabled. The PCP high set by hand will be used
instead.
This patch only adds the framework, so pcp->high will be set to
pcp->high_min (original default) always. We will add actual auto-tuning
algorithm in the following patches in the series.

mm, page_alloc: scale the number of pages that are batch allocated
When a task is allocating a large number of order-0 pages, it may acquire
the zone->lock multiple times allocating pages in batches. This may
unnecessarily contend on the zone lock when allocating very large number
of pages. This patch adapts the size of the batch based on the recent
pattern to scale the batch size for subsequent allocations.
On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances
in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup. This simulates the
kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service. With the patch, the
cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from
12.6% to 11.0% (with PCP size == 367).

mm: restrict the pcp batch scale factor to avoid too long latency
In page allocator, PCP (Per-CPU Pageset) is refilled and drained in
batches to increase page allocation throughput, reduce page
allocation/freeing latency per page, and reduce zone lock contention. But
too large batch size will cause too long maximal allocation/freeing
latency, which may punish arbitrary users. So the default batch size is
chosen carefully (in zone_batchsize(), the value is 63 for zone > 1GB) to
avoid that.
In commit 3b12e7e979 ("mm/page_alloc: scale the number of pages that are
batch freed"), the batch size will be scaled for large number of page
freeing to improve page freeing performance and reduce zone lock
contention. Similar optimization can be used for large number of pages
allocation too.
To find out a suitable max batch scale factor (that is, max effective
batch size), some tests and measurement on some machines were done as
follows.
A set of debug patches are implemented as follows,
- Set PCP high to be 2 * batch to reduce the effect of PCP high
- Disable free batch size scaling to get the raw performance.
- The code with zone lock held is extracted from rmqueue_bulk() and
free_pcppages_bulk() to 2 separate functions to make it easy to
measure the function run time with ftrace function_graph tracer.
- The batch size is hard coded to be 63 (default), 127, 255, 511,
1023, 2047, 4095.
Then will-it-scale/page_fault1 is used to generate the page
allocation/freeing workload. The page allocation/freeing throughput
(page/s) is measured via will-it-scale. The page allocation/freeing
average latency (alloc/free latency avg, in us) and allocation/freeing
latency at 99 percentile (alloc/free latency 99%, in us) are measured with
ftrace function_graph tracer.
The test results are as follows,

From the above data, to restrict the allocation/freeing latency to be less
than 100 us in most times, the max batch scale factor needs to be less
than or equal to 5.
Although it is reasonable to use 5 as max batch scale factor for the
systems tested, there are also slower systems. Where smaller value should
be used to constrain the page allocation/freeing latency.
So, in this patch, a new kconfig option (PCP_BATCH_SCALE_MAX) is added to
set the max batch scale factor. Whose default value is 5, and users can
reduce it when necessary.

mm, pcp: reduce lock contention for draining high-order pages
In commit f26b3fa04611 ("mm/page_alloc: limit number of high-order pages
on PCP during bulk free"), the PCP (Per-CPU Pageset) will be drained when
PCP is mostly used for high-order pages freeing to improve the cache-hot
pages reusing between page allocating and freeing CPUs.
On system with small per-CPU data cache slice, pages shouldn't be cached
before draining to guarantee cache-hot. But on a system with large
per-CPU data cache slice, some pages can be cached before draining to
reduce zone lock contention.
So, in this patch, instead of draining without any caching, "pcp->batch"
pages will be cached in PCP before draining if the size of the per-CPU
data cache slice is more than "3 * batch".
In theory, if the size of per-CPU data cache slice is more than "2 *
batch", we can reuse cache-hot pages between CPUs. But considering the
other usage of cache (code, other data accessing, etc.), "3 * batch" is
used.
Note: "3 * batch" is chosen to make sure the optimization works on recent
x86_64 server CPUs. If you want to increase it, please check whether it
breaks the optimization.
On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, with the patch, the
network bandwidth of the UNIX (AF_UNIX) test case of lmbench test suite
with 16-pair processes increase 70.5%. The cycles% of the spinlock
contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from 46.1% to 21.3%. The
number of PCP draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases
89.9%. The cache miss rate keeps 0.2%.

mm, pcp: avoid to drain PCP when process exit
Patch series "mm: PCP high auto-tuning", v3.
The page allocation performance requirements of different workloads are
often different. So, we need to tune the PCP (Per-CPU Pageset) high on
each CPU automatically to optimize the page allocation performance.
The list of patches in series is as follows,
[1/9] mm, pcp: avoid to drain PCP when process exit
[2/9] cacheinfo: calculate per-CPU data cache size
[3/9] mm, pcp: reduce lock contention for draining high-order pages
[4/9] mm: restrict the pcp batch scale factor to avoid too long latency
[5/9] mm, page_alloc: scale the number of pages that are batch allocated
[6/9] mm: add framework for PCP high auto-tuning
[7/9] mm: tune PCP high automatically
[8/9] mm, pcp: decrease PCP high if free pages < high watermark
[9/9] mm, pcp: reduce detecting time of consecutive high order page freeing
Patch [1/9], [2/9], [3/9] optimize the PCP draining for consecutive
high-order pages freeing.
Patch [4/9], [5/9] optimize batch freeing and allocating.
Patch [6/9], [7/9], [8/9] implement and optimize a PCP high
auto-tuning method.
Patch [9/9] optimize the PCP draining for consecutive high order page
freeing based on PCP high auto-tuning.
The test results for patches with performance impact are as follows,
kbuild
======
On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances
in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup. This simulates the
kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service.

patch7 95.1 0.5 2.8 15.6
patch9 95.0 1.0 8.8 20.0
The PCP draining optimization (patch [1/9], [3/9]) and PCP batch
allocation optimization (patch [5/9]) reduces zone lock contention a
little. The PCP high auto-tuning (patch [7/9], [9/9]) reduces build time
visibly. Where the tuning target: the number of pages allocated from zone
reduces greatly. So, the zone contention cycles% reduces greatly.
With PCP tuning patches (patch [7/9], [9/9]), the average used memory
during test increases up to 18.4% because more pages are cached in PCP.
But at the end of the test, the number of the used memory decreases to the
same level as that of the base patch. That is, the pages cached in PCP
will be released to zone after not being used actively.
netperf SCTP_STREAM_MANY
========================
On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, we tested
SCTP_STREAM_MANY test case of netperf test suite with 64-pair processes.

The PCP draining optimization (patch [1/9]+[3/9]) improves performance.
The PCP high auto-tuning (patch [7/9]) reduces performance a little
because PCP draining cannot be triggered in time sometimes. So, the cache
miss rate% increases. The further PCP draining optimization (patch [9/9])
based on PCP tuning restore the performance.
lmbench3 UNIX (AF_UNIX)

On a 2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, we tested UNIX

The PCP draining optimization (patch [1/9], [3/9]) improves performance
much. The PCP tuning (patch [7/9]) reduces performance a little because
PCP draining cannot be triggered in time sometimes. The further PCP
draining optimization (patch [9/9]) based on PCP tuning restores the
performance partly.
The patchset adds several fields in struct per_cpu_pages. The struct
layout before/after the patchset is as follows,

} __attribute__((__aligned__(64)));
The size of the struct doesn't changed with the patchset.
This patch (of 9):
In commit f26b3fa04611 ("mm/page_alloc: limit number of high-order pages
on PCP during bulk free"), the PCP (Per-CPU Pageset) will be drained when
PCP is mostly used for high-order pages freeing to improve the cache-hot
pages reusing between page allocation and freeing CPUs.
But, the PCP draining mechanism may be triggered unexpectedly when process
exits. With some customized trace point, it was found that PCP draining
(free_high == true) was triggered with the order-1 page freeing with the
following call stack,
=> free_unref_page_commit
=> free_unref_page
=> __mmdrop
=> exit_mm
=> do_exit
=> do_group_exit
=> __x64_sys_exit_group
=> do_syscall_64
Checking the source code, this is the page table PGD freeing
(mm_free_pgd()). It's a order-1 page freeing if
CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION=y. Which is a common configuration for
security.
Just before that, page freeing with the following call stack was found,
=> free_unref_page_commit
=> free_unref_page_list
=> release_pages
=> tlb_batch_pages_flush
=> tlb_finish_mmu
=> exit_mmap
=> __mmput
=> exit_mm
=> do_exit
=> do_group_exit
=> __x64_sys_exit_group
=> do_syscall_64
So, when a process exits,
- a large number of user pages of the process will be freed without
page allocation, it's highly possible that pcp->free_factor becomes >
0. In fact, this is expected behavior to improve process exit
performance.
- after freeing all user pages, the PGD will be freed, which is a
order-1 page freeing, PCP will be drained.
All in all, when a process exits, it's high possible that the PCP will be
drained. This is an unexpected behavior.
To avoid this, in the patch, the PCP draining will only be triggered for 2
consecutive high-order page freeing.
On a 2-socket Intel server with 224 logical CPU, we run 8 kbuild instances
in parallel (each with `make -j 28`) in 8 cgroup. This simulates the
kbuild server that is used by 0-Day kbuild service. With the patch, the
cycles% of the spinlock contention (mostly for zone lock) decreases from
14.0% to 12.8% (with PCP size == 367). The number of PCP draining for
high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 80.5%.
This helps network workload too for reduced zone lock contention. On a
2-socket Intel server with 128 logical CPU, with the patch, the network
bandwidth of the UNIX (AF_UNIX) test case of lmbench test suite with
16-pair processes increase 16.8%. The cycles% of the spinlock contention
(mostly for zone lock) decreases from 51.4% to 46.1%. The number of PCP
draining for high order pages freeing (free_high) decreases 30.5%. The
cache miss rate keeps 0.2%.

mm/page_alloc: remove track of active PCP lists range in bulk free
Patch series "Two minor cleanups for pcp list in page_alloc".
There are two minor cleanups for pcp list in page_alloc. More details
can be found in respective patches.
This patch (of 2):
After commit fd56eef258a17 ("mm/page_alloc: simplify how many pages are
selected per pcp list during bulk free"), we will drain all pages in
selected pcp list. And we ensured passed count is < pcp->count. Then,
the search will finish before wrap-around and track of active PCP lists
range intended for wrap-around case is no longer needed.
