Patch series "mm: memcg: page counters optimizations", v3.
This patchset contains 3 independent small optimizations of page counters.
This patch (of 3):
Memory protection (min/low) requires a constant tracking of protected
memory usage. propagate_protected_usage() is called on each page counters
update and does a number of operations even in cases when the actual
memory protection functionality is not supported (e.g. hugetlb cgroups or
memcg swap counters).
It's obviously inefficient and leads to a waste of CPU cycles. It can be
addressed by calling propagate_protected_usage() only for the counters
which do support memory guarantees. As of now it's only memcg->memory -
the unified memory memcg counter.

As part of the dynamic kernel stack project, we need to know the amount of
data that can be saved by reducing the default kernel stack size [1].
Provide a kernel stack usage histogram to aid in optimizing kernel stack
sizes and minimizing memory waste in large-scale environments. The
histogram divides stack usage into power-of-two buckets and reports the
results in /proc/vmstat. This information is especially valuable in
environments with millions of machines, where even small optimizations can
have a significant impact.
The histogram data is presented in /proc/vmstat with entries like
"kstack_1k", "kstack_2k", and so on, indicating the number of threads that
exited with stack usage falling within each respective bucket.
Example outputs:
Intel:
$ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
kstack_1k 3
kstack_2k 188
kstack_4k 11391
kstack_8k 243
kstack_16k 0
ARM with 64K page_size:
$ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
kstack_1k 1
kstack_2k 340
kstack_4k 25212
kstack_8k 1659
kstack_16k 0
kstack_32k 0
kstack_64k 0
Note: once the dynamic kernel stack is implemented it will depend on the
implementation the usability of this feature: On hardware that supports
faults on kernel stacks, we will have other metrics that show the total
number of pages allocated for stacks. On hardware where faults are not
supported, we will most likely have some optimization where only some
threads are extended, and for those, these metrics will still be very
useful.

This patch (of 3):
At the moment the valid index for the indirection tables for memcg stats
and events is < S8_MAX. These indirection tables are used in performance
critical codepaths. With the latest addition to the vm_events, the
NR_VM_EVENT_ITEMS has gone over S8_MAX. One way to resolve is to increase
the entry size of the indirection table from int8_t to int16_t but this
will increase the potential number of cachelines needed to access the
indirection table.
This patch took a different approach and make the valid index < U8_MAX.
In this way the size of the indirection tables will remain same and we
only need to invalid index check from less than 0 to equal to U8_MAX. In
this approach we have also removed a subtraction from the performance
critical codepaths.

The releasing process of the non-shared anonymous folio mapped solely by
an exiting process may go through two flows: 1) the anonymous folio is
firstly is swaped-out into swapspace and transformed into a swp_entry in
shrink_folio_list; 2) then the swp_entry is released in the process
exiting flow. This will result in the high cpu load of releasing a
non-shared anonymous folio mapped solely by an exiting process.
When the low system memory and the exiting process exist at the same time,
it will be likely to happen, because the non-shared anonymous folio mapped
solely by an exiting process may be reclaimed by shrink_folio_list.
This patch is that shrink skips the non-shared anonymous folio solely
mapped by an exting process and this folio is only released directly in
the process exiting flow, which will save swap-out time and alleviate the
load of the process exiting.
Barry provided some effectiveness testing in [1]. "I observed that
this patch effectively skipped 6114 folios (either 4KB or 64KB mTHP),
potentially reducing the swap-out by up to 92MB (97,300,480 bytes)
during the process exit. The working set size is 256MB."

Fold lru_rotate into cpu_fbatches, and rename the folio_batch and the lock
protecting it to lru_move_tail and lock_irq respectively so that all the
boilerplate can be removed at the end of this series.
Also remove data_race() around folio_batch_count(), which is out of place:
all folio_batch_count() calls on remote cpu_fbatches are subject to
data_race(), and therefore data_race() should be inside
folio_batch_count().

Patch series "mm/swap: remove boilerplate".
This patch (of 5):
Use folio_activate() as an example:
Before this series
------------------
if (!folio_test_active(folio) && !folio_test_unevictable(folio)) {
struct folio_batch *fbatch;
folio_get(folio);
if (!folio_test_clear_lru(folio)) {
folio_put(folio);
return;
}
local_lock(&cpu_fbatches.lock);
fbatch = this_cpu_ptr(&cpu_fbatches.activate);
folio_batch_add_and_move(fbatch, folio, folio_activate_fn);
local_unlock(&cpu_fbatches.lock);
}
}
After this series
-----------------
void folio_activate(struct folio *folio)
{
if (folio_test_active(folio) || folio_test_unevictable(folio))
return;
folio_batch_add_and_move(folio, lru_activate, true);
}
And this is applied to all 6 folio_batch handlers in mm/swap.c.

This patch (of 5):
Reduce indentation level by returning directly when there is no cleanup
needed, i.e.,
if (condition) { | if (condition) {
do_this(); | do_this();
return; | return;
} else { | }
do_that(); |
} | do_that();
and
if (condition) { | if (!condition)
do_this(); | return;
do_that(); |
} | do_this();
return; | do_that();
Presumably the old style became repetitive as the result of copy and
paste.

Patch series "mm: some small page fault cleanups".
I was recently wreaking havoc in the page fault code and I noticed some
things that could be cleaned up. We no longer modify the gup flags in
faultin_page, so we can clean up how we pass the flags in and remove the
extra variable in __get_user_pages.
This patch (of 2):
We're passing a pointer to the foll_flags for faultin_page, however we
never modify the flags in this call. Change this to just take the flags
value instead.

When KASAN is enabled and built with clang:
mm/damon/lru_sort.c:199:12: error: stack frame size (2328) exceeds
limit (2048) in 'damon_lru_sort_apply_parameters' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
static int damon_lru_sort_apply_parameters(void)
^
1 error generated.
This is because damon_lru_sort_quota contains a large array, and
assigning this variable to a local variable causes a large amount of
stack space to be occupied.
So adjust local variable to dynamic allocation.
