The state of object currently tracked in two places - shadow memory, and
the ->state field in struct kasan_alloc_meta. We can get rid of the
latter. The will save us a little bit of memory. Also, this allow us
to move free stack into struct kasan_alloc_meta, without increasing
memory consumption. So now we should always know when the last time the
object was freed. This may be useful for long delayed use-after-free
bugs.
As a side effect this fixes following UBSAN warning:

Size of slab object already stored in cache->object_size.
Note, that kmalloc() internally rounds up size of allocation, so
object_size may be not equal to alloc_size, but, usually we don't need
to know the exact size of allocated object. In case if we need that
information, we still can figure it out from the report. The dump of
shadow memory allows to identify the end of allocated memory, and
thereby the exact allocation size.

There are no memcgs created so there cannot be any in the soft limit

[...]

so all this just seems to be mem_cgroup_largest_soft_limit_node trying
to get spin_lock_irq(&mctz->lock) just to find out that the soft limit
excess tree is empty. This is just pointless wasting of cycles and
cache line bouncing during heavy parallel reclaim on large machines.
The particular machine wasn't very healthy and most probably suffering
from a memory leak which just caused the memory reclaim to trash
heavily. But bouncing on the lock certainly didn't help...
Fix this by optimistic lockless check and bail out early if the tree is
empty. This is theoretically racy but that shouldn't matter all that
much. First of all soft limit is a best effort feature and it is slowly
getting deprecated and its usage should be really scarce. Bouncing on a
lock without a good reason is surely much bigger problem, especially on
large CPU machines.

Zhong Jiang has reported a BUG_ON from huge_pte_alloc hitting when he
runs his database load with memory online and offline running in
parallel. The reason is that huge_pmd_share might detect a shared pmd
which is currently migrated and so it has migration pte which is
!pte_huge.
There doesn't seem to be any easy way to prevent from the race and in
fact seeing the migration swap entry is not harmful. Both callers of
huge_pte_alloc are prepared to handle them. copy_hugetlb_page_range
will copy the swap entry and make it COW if needed. hugetlb_fault will
back off and so the page fault is retries if the page is still under
migration and waits for its completion in hugetlb_fault.
That means that the BUG_ON is wrong and we should update it. Let's
simply check that all present ptes are pte_huge instead.

Every swap-in anonymous page starts from inactive lru list's head. It
should be activated unconditionally when VM decide to reclaim because
page table entry for the page always usually has marked accessed bit.
Thus, their window size for getting a new referece is 2 * NR_inactive +
NR_active while others is NR_inactive + NR_active.
It's not fair that it has more chance to be referenced compared to other
newly allocated page which starts from active lru list's head.
Johannes:
: The page can still have a valid copy on the swap device, so prefering to
: reclaim that page over a fresh one could make sense. But as you point
: out, having it start inactive instead of active actually ends up giving it
: *more* LRU time, and that seems to be without justification.
Rik:
: The reason newly read in swap cache pages start on the inactive list is
: that we do some amount of read-around, and do not know which pages will
: get used.
:
: However, immediately activating the ones that DO get used, like your patch
: does, is the right thing to do.

According to Kirill Shutemov, the prefaulting code in do_fault_around()
is supposed to take care of this, but missing error handling means that
the allocation failure can go unnoticed.
We don't need to return VM_FAULT_OOM (or any other error) here, since we
can just let the normal fault path try again.

Async compaction detects contention either due to failing trylock on
zone->lock or lru_lock, or by need_resched(). Since 1f9efdef4f ("mm,
compaction: khugepaged should not give up due to need_resched()") the
code got quite complicated to distinguish these two up to the
__alloc_pages_slowpath() level, so different decisions could be taken
for khugepaged allocations.
After the recent changes, khugepaged allocations don't check for
contended compaction anymore, so we again don't need to distinguish lock
and sched contention, and simplify the current convoluted code a lot.
However, I believe it's also possible to simplify even more and
completely remove the check for contended compaction after the initial
async compaction for costly orders, which was originally aimed at THP
page fault allocations. There are several reasons why this can be done
now:
- with the new defaults, THP page faults no longer do reclaim/compaction at
all, unless the system admin has overridden the default, or application has
indicated via madvise that it can benefit from THP's. In both cases, it
means that the potential extra latency is expected and worth the benefits.
- even if reclaim/compaction proceeds after this patch where it previously
wouldn't, the second compaction attempt is still async and will detect the
contention and back off, if the contention persists
- there are still heuristics like deferred compaction and pageblock skip bits
in place that prevent excessive THP page fault latencies

In the context of direct compaction, for some types of allocations we
would like the compaction to either succeed or definitely fail while
trying as hard as possible. Current async/sync_light migration mode is
insufficient, as there are heuristics such as caching scanner positions,
marking pageblocks as unsuitable or deferring compaction for a zone. At
least the final compaction attempt should be able to override these
heuristics.
To communicate how hard compaction should try, we replace migration mode
with a new enum compact_priority and change the relevant function
signatures. In compact_zone_order() where struct compact_control is
constructed, the priority is mapped to suitable control flags. This
patch itself has no functional change, as the current priority levels
are mapped back to the same migration modes as before. Expanding them
will be done next.
Note that !CONFIG_COMPACTION variant of try_to_compact_pages() is
removed, as the only caller exists under CONFIG_COMPACTION.

After the previous patch, we can distinguish costly allocations that
should be really lightweight, such as THP page faults, with
__GFP_NORETRY. This means we don't need to recognize khugepaged
allocations via PF_KTHREAD anymore. We can also change THP page faults
in areas where madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) was used to try as hard as
khugepaged, as the process has indicated that it benefits from THP's and
is willing to pay some initial latency costs.
We can also make the flags handling less cryptic by distinguishing
GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT (no reclaim at all, default mode in page fault) from
GFP_TRANSHUGE (only direct reclaim, khugepaged default). Adding
__GFP_NORETRY or __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM is done where needed.
The patch effectively changes the current GFP_TRANSHUGE users as
follows:
* get_huge_zero_page() - the zero page lifetime should be relatively
long and it's shared by multiple users, so it's worth spending some
effort on it. We use GFP_TRANSHUGE, and __GFP_NORETRY is not added.
This also restores direct reclaim to this allocation, which was
unintentionally removed by commit e4a49efe4e7e ("mm: thp: set THP defrag
by default to madvise and add a stall-free defrag option")
* alloc_hugepage_khugepaged_gfpmask() - this is khugepaged, so latency
is not an issue. So if khugepaged "defrag" is enabled (the default), do
reclaim via GFP_TRANSHUGE without __GFP_NORETRY. We can remove the
PF_KTHREAD check from page alloc.
As a side-effect, khugepaged will now no longer check if the initial
compaction was deferred or contended. This is OK, as khugepaged sleep
times between collapsion attempts are long enough to prevent noticeable
disruption, so we should allow it to spend some effort.
* migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() - already was masking out
__GFP_RECLAIM, so just convert to GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT which is
equivalent.
* alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask() - vma's with VM_HUGEPAGE (via madvise)
are now allocating without __GFP_NORETRY. Other vma's keep using
__GFP_NORETRY if direct reclaim/compaction is at all allowed (by default
it's allowed only for madvised vma's). The rest is conversion to
GFP_TRANSHUGE(_LIGHT).

Since THP allocations during page faults can be costly, extra decisions
are employed for them to avoid excessive reclaim and compaction, if the
initial compaction doesn't look promising. The detection has never been
perfect as there is no gfp flag specific to THP allocations. At this
moment it checks the whole combination of flags that makes up
GFP_TRANSHUGE, and hopes that no other users of such combination exist,
or would mind being treated the same way. Extra care is also taken to
separate allocations from khugepaged, where latency doesn't matter that
much.
It is however possible to distinguish these allocations in a simpler and
more reliable way. The key observation is that after the initial
compaction followed by the first iteration of "standard"
reclaim/compaction, both __GFP_NORETRY allocations and costly
allocations without __GFP_REPEAT are declared as failures:
/* Do not loop if specifically requested */
if (gfp_mask & __GFP_NORETRY)
goto nopage;
/*
* Do not retry costly high order allocations unless they are
* __GFP_REPEAT
*/
if (order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER && !(gfp_mask & __GFP_REPEAT))
goto nopage;
This means we can further distinguish allocations that are costly order
*and* additionally include the __GFP_NORETRY flag. As it happens,
GFP_TRANSHUGE allocations do already fall into this category. This will
also allow other costly allocations with similar high-order benefit vs
latency considerations to use this semantic. Furthermore, we can
distinguish THP allocations that should try a bit harder (such as from
khugepageed) by removing __GFP_NORETRY, as will be done in the next
patch.
