2023-08-21mm: remove redundant K() macro definitionZhangPeng1-2/+1
Patch series "cleanup with helper macro K()". Use helper macro K() to improve code readability. No functional modification involved. Remove redundant K() macro definition. This patch (of 7): Since commit eb8589b4f8c1 ("mm: move mem_init_print_info() to mm_init.c"), the K() macro definition has been moved to mm/internal.h. Therefore, the definitions in mm/memcontrol.c, mm/backing-dev.c and mm/oom_kill.c are redundant. Drop redundant definitions.

If the allocation of new work fails, the on-stack fallback will be used and the reference count of the current wb is increased afterwards. If cgroup writeback membership switches occur before getting the reference count and the current wb is released as old_wd, then calling wb_get() or wb_put() will trigger the null pointer dereference above. This issue was introduced in v4.3-rc7 (see fix tag1). Both sync_inodes_sb() and __writeback_inodes_sb_nr() calls to bdi_split_work_to_wbs() can trigger this issue. For scenarios called via sync_inodes_sb(), originally commit 7fc5854f8c6e ("writeback: synchronize sync(2) against cgroup writeback membership switches") reduced the possibility of the issue by adding wb_switch_rwsem, but in v5.14-rc1 (see fix tag2) removed the "inode_io_list_del_locked(inode, old_wb)" from inode_switch_wbs_work_fn() so that wb->state contains WB_has_dirty_io, thus old_wb is not skipped when traversing wbs in bdi_split_work_to_wbs(), and the issue becomes easily reproducible again. To solve this problem, percpu_ref_exit() is called under RCU protection to avoid race between cgwb_release_workfn() and bdi_split_work_to_wbs(). Moreover, replace wb_get() with wb_tryget() in bdi_split_work_to_wbs(), and skip the current wb if wb_tryget() fails because the wb has already been shutdown.

2022-11-30mm: add /sys/class/bdi/<bdi>/min_bytes knobStefan Roesch1-0/+29
bdi has two existing knobs to limit the amount of dirty memory: min_ratio and max_ratio. However the granularity of the knobs is limited and often it is more convenient to specify limits in terms of bytes. This change adds the min_bytes knob. It does not store the min_bytes value, instead it converts the max_bytes value to a ratio. The value is therefore more an approximation than an absolute value. It also maintains the sum over all the bdi min_ratio values stored in the variable bdi_min_ratio.

To get finer granularity for ratio calculations use part per million instead of percentiles. This is especially important if we want to automatically convert byte values to ratios. Otherwise the values that are actually used can be quite different. This is also important for machines with more main memory (1% of 256GB is already 2.5GB).

2022-08-28writeback: avoid use-after-free after removing deviceKhazhismel Kumykov1-5/+5
When a disk is removed, bdi_unregister gets called to stop further writeback and wait for associated delayed work to complete. However, wb_inode_writeback_end() may schedule bandwidth estimation dwork after this has completed, which can result in the timer attempting to access the just freed bdi_writeback. Fix this by checking if the bdi_writeback is alive, similar to when scheduling writeback work. Since this requires wb->work_lock, and wb_inode_writeback_end() may get called from interrupt, switch wb->work_lock to an irqsafe lock.

After commit 10e14073107d ("writeback: Fix inode->i_io_list not be protected by inode->i_lock error") this broke because __mark_inode_dirty() started to access more fields from noop_backing_dev_info and this led to crashes inside locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() called from __mark_inode_dirty().

Initialize min_ratio if it is set during bdi unregistration. This can prevent problems that may occur a when bdi is removed without resetting min_ratio. For example. 1) insert external sdcard 2) set external sdcard's min_ratio 70 3) remove external sdcard without setting min_ratio 0 4) insert external sdcard 5) set external sdcard's min_ratio 70 << error occur(can't set) Because when an sdcard is removed, the present bdi_min_ratio value will remain. Currently, the only way to reset bdi_min_ratio is to reboot.

2021-11-06mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim until some writeback completes if congestedMel Gorman1-48/+0
Patch series "Remove dependency on congestion_wait in mm/", v5. This series that removes all calls to congestion_wait in mm/ and deletes wait_iff_congested. It's not a clever implementation but congestion_wait has been broken for a long time [1]. Even if congestion throttling worked, it was never a great idea. While excessive dirty/writeback pages at the tail of the LRU is one possibility that reclaim may be slow, there is also the problem of too many pages being isolated and reclaim failing for other reasons (elevated references, too many pages isolated, excessive LRU contention etc). This series replaces the "congestion" throttling with 3 different types. - If there are too many dirty/writeback pages, sleep until a timeout or enough pages get cleaned - If too many pages are isolated, sleep until enough isolated pages are either reclaimed or put back on the LRU - If no progress is being made, direct reclaim tasks sleep until another task makes progress with acceptable efficiency. This was initially tested with a mix of workloads that used to trigger corner cases that no longer work. A new test case was created called "stutterp" (pagereclaim-stutterp-noreaders in mmtests) using a freshly created XFS filesystem. Note that it may be necessary to increase the timeout of ssh if executing remotely as ssh itself can get throttled and the connection may timeout. stutterp varies the number of "worker" processes from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4 to check the impact as the number of direct reclaimers increase. It has four types of worker. - One "anon latency" worker creates small mappings with mmap() and times how long it takes to fault the mapping reading it 4K at a time - X file writers which is fio randomly writing X files where the total size of the files add up to the allowed dirty_ratio. fio is allowed to run for a warmup period to allow some file-backed pages to accumulate. The duration of the warmup is based on the best-case linear write speed of the storage. - Y file readers which is fio randomly reading small files - Z anon memory hogs which continually map (100-dirty_ratio)% of memory - Total estimated WSS = (100+dirty_ration) percentage of memory X+Y+Z+1 == NR_WORKERS varying from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4 The intent is to maximise the total WSS with a mix of file and anon memory where some anonymous memory must be swapped and there is a high likelihood of dirty/writeback pages reaching the end of the LRU. The test can be configured to have no background readers to stress dirty/writeback pages. The results below are based on having zero readers. The short summary of the results is that the series works and stalls until some event occurs but the timeouts may need adjustment. The test results are not broken down by patch as the series should be treated as one block that replaces a broken throttling mechanism with a working one. Finally, three machines were tested but I'm reporting the worst set of results. The other two machines had much better latencies for example.

In earlier versions of the series, this was lower but a large number of throttling events were reaching their timeout increasing the amount of inefficient scanning of the LRU. There is no prioritisation of reclaim tasks making progress based on each tasks rate of page allocation versus progress of reclaim. The variance is also impacted for high worker counts but in all cases, the differences in latency are not statistically significant due to very large maximum outliers. Max-90 shows that 90% of the stalls are comparable but the Max results show the massive outliers which are increased to to stalling. It is expected that this will be very machine dependant. Due to the test design, reclaim is difficult so allocations stall and there are variances depending on whether THPs can be allocated or not. The amount of memory will affect exactly how bad the corner cases are and how often they trigger. The warmup period calculation is not ideal as it's based on linear writes where as fio is randomly writing multiple files from multiple tasks so the start state of the test is variable. For example, these are the latencies on a single-socket machine that had more memory Amean mmap-4 42.2287 ( 0.00%) 49.6838 * -17.65%* Amean mmap-7 216.4326 ( 0.00%) 47.4451 * 78.08%* Amean mmap-12 2412.0588 ( 0.00%) 51.7497 ( 97.85%) Amean mmap-21 5546.2548 ( 0.00%) 51.8862 ( 99.06%) Amean mmap-30 1085.3121 ( 0.00%) 72.1004 ( 93.36%) The overall system CPU usage and elapsed time is as follows 5.15.0-rc3 5.15.0-rc3 vanilla mm-reclaimcongest-v5r4 Duration User 6989.03 983.42 Duration System 7308.12 799.68 Duration Elapsed 2277.67 2092.98 The patches reduce system CPU usage by 89% as the vanilla kernel is rarely stalling.

The vanilla kernel scans slowly over time where as the patches exhibits burst patterns of scan activity. Direct reclaim scanning is reduced by 52% due to stalling. The pattern for stealing pages is also slightly different. Both kernels exhibit spikes but the vanilla kernel when reclaiming shows pages being reclaimed over a period of time where as the patches tend to reclaim in spikes. The difference is that vanilla is not throttling and instead scanning constantly finding some pages over time where as the patched kernel throttles and reclaims in spikes. Ops Percentage direct scans 90.59 77.37 For direct reclaim, vanilla scanned 90.59% of pages where as with the patches, 77.37% were direct reclaim due to throttling Ops Page writes by reclaim 2613590.00 1687131.00 Page writes from reclaim context are reduced.

What is likely happening is that cond_resched() reschedules the task for a short period when the BDI is not registering congestion (which it never will in this test setup). 1 writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=120000 2 writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=132000 4 writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=112000 380 writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=108000 778 writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=104000 congestion_wait if called always exceeds the timeout as there is no trigger to wake it up.

This is very different to kswapd where only a tiny percentage of stalls due to writeback reached the timeout. Bottom line, the throttling appears to work and the wakeup events may limit worst case stalls. There might be some grounds for adjusting timeouts but it's likely futile as the worst-case scenarios depend on the workload, memory size and the speed of the storage. A better approach to improve the series further would be to prioritise tasks based on their rate of allocation with the caveat that it may be very expensive to track. This patch (of 5): Page reclaim throttles on wait_iff_congested under the following conditions: - kswapd is encountering pages under writeback and marked for immediate reclaim implying that pages are cycling through the LRU faster than pages can be cleaned. - Direct reclaim will stall if all dirty pages are backed by congested inodes. wait_iff_congested is almost completely broken with few exceptions. This patch adds a new node-based workqueue and tracks the number of throttled tasks and pages written back since throttling started. If enough pages belonging to the node are written back then the throttled tasks will wake early. If not, the throttled tasks sleeps until the timeout expires.

2021-09-03writeback: fix bandwidth estimate for spiky workloadJan Kara1-0/+10
Michael Stapelberg has reported that for workload with short big spikes of writes (GCC linker seem to trigger this frequently) the write throughput is heavily underestimated and tends to steadily sink until it reaches zero. This has rather bad impact on writeback throttling (causing stalls). The problem is that writeback throughput estimate gets updated at most once per 200 ms. One update happens early after we submit pages for writeback (at that point writeout of only small fraction of pages is completed and thus observed throughput is tiny). Next update happens only during the next write spike (updates happen only from inode writeback and dirty throttling code) and if that is more than 1s after previous spike, we decide system was idle and just ignore whatever was written until this moment. Fix the problem by making sure writeback throughput estimate is also updated shortly after writeback completes to get reasonable estimate of throughput for spiky workloads.

2021-09-03writeback: track number of inodes under writebackJan Kara1-0/+1
Patch series "writeback: Fix bandwidth estimates", v4. Fix estimate of writeback throughput when device is not fully busy doing writeback. Michael Stapelberg has reported that such workload (e.g. generated by linking) tends to push estimated throughput down to 0 and as a result writeback on the device is practically stalled. The first three patches fix the reported issue, the remaining two patches are unrelated cleanups of problems I've noticed when reading the code. This patch (of 4): Track number of inodes under writeback for each bdi_writeback structure. We will use this to decide whether wb does any IO and so we can estimate its writeback throughput. In principle we could use number of pages under writeback (WB_WRITEBACK counter) for this however normal percpu counter reads are too inaccurate for our purposes and summing the counter is too expensive.

2021-06-29writeback, cgroup: release dying cgwbs by switching attached inodesRoman Gushchin1-2/+62
Asynchronously try to release dying cgwbs by switching attached inodes to the nearest living ancestor wb. It helps to get rid of per-cgroup writeback structures themselves and of pinned memory and block cgroups, which are significantly larger structures (mostly due to large per-cpu statistics data). This prevents memory waste and helps to avoid different scalability problems caused by large piles of dying cgroups. Reuse the existing mechanism of inode switching used for foreign inode detection. To speed things up batch up to 115 inode switching in a single operation (the maximum number is selected so that the resulting struct inode_switch_wbs_context can fit into 1024 bytes). Because every switching consists of two steps divided by an RCU grace period, it would be too slow without batching. Please note that the whole batch counts as a single operation (when increasing/decreasing isw_nr_in_flight). This allows to keep umounting working (flush the switching queue), however prevents cleanups from consuming the whole switching quota and effectively blocking the frn switching. A cgwb cleanup operation can fail due to different reasons (e.g. not enough memory, the cgwb has an in-flight/pending io, an attached inode in a wrong state, etc). In this case the next scheduled cleanup will make a new attempt. An attempt is made each time a new cgwb is offlined (in other words a memcg and/or a blkcg is deleted by a user). In the future an additional attempt scheduled by a timer can be implemented.

2021-06-29writeback, cgroup: keep list of inodes attached to bdi_writebackRoman Gushchin1-0/+2
Currently there is no way to iterate over inodes attached to a specific cgwb structure. It limits the ability to efficiently reclaim the writeback structure itself and associated memory and block cgroup structures without scanning all inodes belonging to a sb, which can be prohibitively expensive. While dirty/in-active-writeback an inode belongs to one of the bdi_writeback's io lists: b_dirty, b_io, b_more_io and b_dirty_time. Once cleaned up, it's removed from all io lists. So the inode->i_io_list can be reused to maintain the list of inodes, attached to a bdi_writeback structure. This patch introduces a new wb->b_attached list, which contains all inodes which were dirty at least once and are attached to the given cgwb. Inodes attached to the root bdi_writeback structures are never placed on such list. The following patch will use this list to try to release cgwbs structures more efficiently.

2020-09-24bdi: replace BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES with a queue and a sb flagChristoph Hellwig1-4/+3
The BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES is one of the few bits of information in the backing_dev_info shared between the block drivers and the writeback code. To help untangling the dependency replace it with a queue flag and a superblock flag derived from it. This also helps with the case of e.g. a file system requiring stable writes due to its own checksumming, but not forcing it on other users of the block device like the swap code. One downside is that we an't support the stable_pages_required bdi attribute in sysfs anymore. It is replaced with a queue attribute which also is writable for easier testing.
