v2 cover mm: fix some MADV_FREE issues
Hi,
We are trying to use MADV_FREE in jemalloc. Several issues are found. Without solving the issues, jemalloc can't use the MADV_FREE feature.
- Doesn't support system without swap enabled. Because if swap is off, we can't or can't efficiently age anonymous pages. And since MADV_FREE pages are mixed with other anonymous pages, we can't reclaim MADV_FREE pages. In current implementation, MADV_FREE will fallback to MADV_DONTNEED without swap enabled. But in our environment, a lot of machines don't enable swap. This will prevent our setup using MADV_FREE.
- Increases memory pressure. page reclaim bias file pages reclaim against anonymous pages. This doesn't make sense for MADV_FREE pages, because those pages could be freed easily and refilled with very slight penality. Even page reclaim doesn't bias file pages, there is still an issue, because MADV_FREE pages and other anonymous pages are mixed together. To reclaim a MADV_FREE page, we probably must scan a lot of other anonymous pages, which is inefficient. In our test, we usually see oom with MADV_FREE enabled and nothing without it.
- RSS accounting. MADV_FREE pages are accounted as normal anon pages and reclaimed lazily, so application's RSS becomes bigger. This confuses our workloads. We have monitoring daemon running and if it finds applications' RSS becomes abnormal, the daemon will kill the applications even kernel can reclaim the memory easily. Currently we don't export separate RSS accounting for MADV_FREE pages. This will prevent our setup using MADV_FREE too.
To address the first the two issues, we can either put MADV_FREE pages into a separate LRU list (Minchan's previous patches and V1 patches), or put them into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list (suggested by Johannes). The patchset use the second idea. The reason is LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list is tiny nowadays and should be full of used once file pages. So we can still efficiently reclaim MADV_FREE pages there without interference with other anon and active file pages. Putting the pages into inactive file list also has an advantage which allows page reclaim to prioritize MADV_FREE pages and used once file pages. MADV_FREE pages are put into the lru list and clear SwapBacked flag, so PageAnon(page) && !PageSwapBacked(page) will indicate a MADV_FREE pages. These pages will directly freed without pageout if they are clean, otherwise normal swap will reclaim them.
For the third issue, we add a separate RSS count for MADV_FREE pages. The count will be increased in madvise syscall and decreased in page reclaim (eg, unmap). There is one limitation, the accounting doesn't work well for shared pages. Please check the last patch. This probably isn't a big issue, because userspace will write the pages before reusing them, which will break the page sharing between two processes. And if two processes share a page, the page can't really be lazyfreed.
Thanks,
Shaohua
V1->V2:
- Put MADV_FREE pages into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list instead of adding a new lru list, suggested by Johannes
- Add RSS support

PATCH v2 1/7 mm: don't assume anonymous pages have SwapBacked flag
There are a few places the code assumes anonymous pages should have SwapBacked flag set. MADV_FREE pages are anonymous pages but we are going to add them to LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list and clear SwapBacked flag for them. The assumption doesn't hold any more, so fix them.

PATCH v2 2/7 mm: move MADV_FREE pages into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list
In reply to Shaohua LiUserspace indicates MADV_FREE pages could be freed without pageout, so it pretty much likes used once file pages. For such pages, we'd like to reclaim them once there is memory pressure. Also it might be unfair reclaiming MADV_FREE pages always before used once file pages and we definitively want to reclaim the pages before other anonymous and file pages.
To speed up MADV_FREE pages reclaim, we put the pages into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list. The rationale is LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list is tiny nowadays and should be full of used once file pages. Reclaiming MADV_FREE pages will not have much interfere of anonymous and active file pages. And the inactive file pages and MADV_FREE pages will be reclaimed according to their age, so we don't reclaim too many MADV_FREE pages too. Putting the MADV_FREE pages into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE_LIST also means we can reclaim the pages without swap support. This idea is suggested by Johannes.
We also clear the pages SwapBacked flag to indicate they are MADV_FREE pages.

MADV_FREEpages could be freed without pageout, so it pretty much likes used once file pages. For such pages, we'd like to reclaim them once there is memory pressure. Also it might be unfair reclaimingMADV_FREEpages always before used once file pages and we definitively want to reclaim the pages before other anonymous and file pages.To speed up
MADV_FREEpages reclaim, we put the pages intoLRU_INACTIVE_FILElist. The rationale isLRU_INACTIVE_FILElist is tiny nowadays and should be full of used once file pages. ReclaimingMADV_FREEpages will not have much interfere of anonymous and active file pages. And the inactive file pages andMADV_FREEpages will be reclaimed according to their age, so we don't reclaim too manyMADV_FREEpages too. Putting theMADV_FREEpages intoLRU_INACTIVE_FILE_LISTalso means we can reclaim the pages without swap support. This idea is suggested by Johannes.

We also clear the pages SwapBacked flag to indicate they are
MADV_FREEpages.I think this patch should be merged with 3/7. Otherwise,
MADV_FREEwill be broken during the bisect.
Maybe I should move the patch 3 ahead, then we won't break bisect and still make the patches clear.

If using the PageLazyFree, people always need to refer the code and check the relationship between PageLazyFree and PageSwapBacked.
I was not against so I was about to sending "No problem" now but I found your patch 5 which accounts lazyfreeable pages in zone/node stat and handle them in lru list management. Hmm, I think now we don't handle lazyfree pages with separate LRU list so it's awkward to me although it may work. So, my idea is we can handle it through wrapper regardless of LRU management.
For instance,
void SetLazyFreePage(struct page *page)
{
if (!TestSetPageSwapBacked(page))
inc_zone_page_state(page, NR_ZONE_LAZYFREE);
}void ClearLazyFreePage(struct page *page)
{
if (TestClearPageSwapBacked(page))
dec_zone_page_state(page, NR_ZONE_LAZYFREE);
}madvise_free_pte_range:
SetLageFreePage(page);
activate_page,shrink_page_list:
ClearLazyFreePage(page);
free_pages_prepare:
if (PageMappingFlags(page)) {
if (PageLazyFreePage(page))
dec_zone_page_state(page, NR_ZONE_LAZYFREE);
page->mapping = NULL;
}Surely, it's orthgonal issue regardless of using wrapper but it might nudge you to use wrapper.

Indeed.
I don't have better idea, either so my last suggestion is "demote_lazyfree_page". It seems there are several papers/wikipedia to use *demote* in LRU managment.

I like this. I have expected this to be more convoluted but it looks quite straightforward. I didn't get to do a really deep review and add my acked-by but from a quick look there do not seem to be any surprises. I was worried about vmstat accounting. There are some places which isolate page from LRU and account based on the LRU and later use page_is_file_cache to tell which LRU this was. This should work fine, though, because you never touch pages which are off-lru.
That being said I do not see any major issues. There might be some minor things and this will need a lot of testing but it is definitely a move into right direction. I hope to do the deeper review after I get back from vacation (20th Feb).

PATCH v2 3/7 mm: reclaim MADV_FREE pages
In reply to Shaohua LiWhen memory pressure is high, we free MADV_FREE pages. If the pages are not dirty in pte, the pages could be freed immediately. Otherwise we can't reclaim them. We put the pages back to anonumous LRU list (by setting SwapBacked flag) and the pages will be reclaimed in normal swapout way.
We use normal page reclaim policy. Since MADV_FREE pages are put into inactive file list, such pages and inactive file pages are reclaimed according to their age. This is expected, because we don't want to reclaim too many MADV_FREE pages before used once pages.

I think this doesn't matter. If the page is dirty, it will go to reclaim in next round and swap out. At that time, we will add
nr_scannedthere.
If the lazyfree page in LRU comes around again into this, it's true but the page could be freed before that.
Having said that, I don't know how critical it is and what kinds of rationale was to push slab reclaim so I don't insist on it.
Thanks.

Ohh, so this is where the convoluted part sits ;) I thought we just check for references/dirty bit and make lazy free page regular anon again and activate it. lazyfree checks in shrink_page_list seem to be quite excessive to me. Maybe I am just oversimplifying it, though.

MADV_FREEpages info in proc/sysfs files.
How are we going to use this information? Why it isn't sufficient to watch for lazyfree events? I mean this adds quite some code and it is not clear (at least from the changelog) we we need this information.

It's just like any other meminfo we added to let user know what happens in the system. Users can use the info for monitoring/diagnosing. the lazyfree/lazyfreed events can't reflect the lazyfree page info because 'lazyfree - lazyfreed' doesn't equal current lazyfree pages and the events aren't per-node. I'll add more description in the changelog.

Well, I would prefer to not add new counters until there is a strong reason for them. Maybe a trace point would be more appropriate for debugging purposes.

PATCH v2 7/7 mm: add a separate RSS for MADV_FREE pages
In reply to Shaohua LiAdd a separate RSS for MADV_FREE pages. The pages are charged into MM_ANONPAGES (because they are mapped anon pages) and also charged into the MM_LAZYFREEPAGES. /proc/pid/statm will have an extra field to display the RSS, which userspace can use to determine the RSS excluding MADV_FREE pages.
The basic idea is to increment the RSS in madvise and decrement in unmap or page reclaim. There is one limitation. If a page is shared by two processes, since madvise only has mm cotext of current process, it isn't convenient to charge the RSS for both processes. So we don't charge the RSS if the mapcount isn't 1. On the other hand, fork can make a MADV_FREE page shared by two processes. To make things consistent, we uncharge the RSS from the source mm in fork.
A new flag is added to indicate if a page is accounted into the RSS. We can't use SwapBacked flag to do the determination because we can't guarantee the page has SwapBacked flag cleared in madvise. We are reusing mappedtodisk flag which should not be set for Anon pages.
There are a couple of other places we need to uncharge the RSS, activate_page and mark_page_accessed. activate_page is used by swap, where MADV_FREE pages are already not in lazyfree state before going into swap. mark_page_accessed is mainly used for file pages, but there are several places it's used by anonymous pages. I fixed gup, but not some gpu drivers and kvm. If the drivers use MADV_FREE, we might have inprecise RSS accounting.
Please note, the accounting is never going to be precise. MADV_FREE page could be written by userspace without notification to the kernel. The page can't be reclaimed like other clean lazyfree pages. The page isn't real lazyfree page. But since kernel isn't aware of this, the page is still accounted as lazyfree, thus the accounting could be incorrect.

This is all quite complex and as you say unprecise already. From the description it is not even clear why do we need it at all. Why is /proc/<pid>/smaps insufficient? I am also not fun of a new page flag - even though you managed to recycle an existing one which is a plus.

Please note, the accounting is never going to be precise.
MADV_FREEpage could be written by userspace without notification to the kernel. The page can't be reclaimed like other clean lazyfree pages. The page isn't real lazyfree page. But since kernel isn't aware of this, the page is still accounted as lazyfree, thus the accounting could be incorrect.

This is all quite complex and as you say unprecise already. From the description it is not even clear why do we need it at all. Why is /proc/<pid>/smaps insufficient? I am also not fun of a new page flag - even though you managed to recycle an existing one which is a plus.
We have monitor app running in the system to check other apps' RSS and kill them if RSS is abnormal. Checking /proc/pid/smaps is too complicated and slow, don't think we can go that way. Yes, the accounting isn't precise, but should be much better than exporting nothing to userspace.

Add a separate RSS for

I'm not sure statm is right place. With definition of statm and considering your usecase, it would be right place but when I look "stuats", it already shows RssAnon, RssFile and RssShmem so I thought we can add RssLazy to it. It would be more consistent if you don't have big overhead.

I don't understand why we need new flag.
What's the problem like handling it normal anon|file|swapent|shmem? IOW, we can increase in madvise context and increase for child in copy_one_pte if the pte is still not dirty. And then decrease it in zap_pte_range/ try_to_unmap_one if it finds it's dirty or discardable.
Although it's shared by fork, VM can discard it if processes doesn't make it dirty.

Right. Lazyfree is not inaccurate without CoW where it's point to decrease lazyfree rss count when the store happens so we might be tempted to make it to Cow at the cost of performance degradation but still it's not accurate without making mark_page_accessed be aware of each mm context which is hard part. So, I agree this stat is useful but don't want to make it complicate.

The thing is we could madvise the same page twice. madvise context can't guarantee we move the page to inactive file list, so we could wrongly increase the count.

A new flag is added to indicate if a page is accounted into the RSS. We can't use SwapBacked flag to do the determination because we can't guarantee the page has SwapBacked flag cleared in madvise. We are reusing mappedtodisk flag which should not be set for Anon pages.
There are a couple of other places we need to uncharge the RSS,
activate_pageandmark_page_accessed.activate_pageis used by swap, whereMADV_FREEpages are already not in lazyfree state before going into swap.mark_page_accessedis mainly used for file pages, but there are several places it's used by anonymous pages.

Please note, the accounting is never going to be precise.
MADV_FREEpage could be written by userspace without notification to the kernel. The page can't be reclaimed like other clean lazyfree pages. The page isn't real lazyfree page. But since kernel isn't aware of this, the page is still accounted as lazyfree, thus the accounting could be incorrect.

Yes, it only could be accurate with extra pagefault cost, but apparently nobody wants to pay for it.
I talked to jemalloc guys here. They have concerns about the accounting since it's not accurate. I'll drop the accounting patches in next post. The only interface which can export accurate info is /proc/pid/smaps, we probably go that.
