[RFC 0/4] ZRAM: make it just store the high compression rate page

[RFC 0/4] ZRAM: make it just store the high compression rate page

[Hui Zhu]

Current ZRAM just can store all pages even if the compression rate
of a page is really low.  So the compression rate of ZRAM is out of
control when it is running.
In my part, I did some test and record with ZRAM.  The compression rate
is about 40%.

This series of patches make ZRAM can just store the page that the
compressed size is smaller than a value.
With these patches, I set the value to 2048 and did the same test with
before.  The compression rate is about 20%.  The times of lowmemorykiller
also decreased.

[RFC 1/4] vmscan.c: shrink_page_list: unmap anon pages after pageout

[Hui Zhu]

The page is unmapped when ZRAM get the compressed size.  At it is added
to swapcache.
To remove it from swapcache need set each pte back to point to pfn.
But these is not a way to do it.

This patch set each pte readonly before pageout.  Then when the page is
written when save its data to ZRAM, its pte will be set to dirty.
After pageout, shrink_page_list will check the pte and re-dirty the page.
After pageout successfully and page is not dirty, unmap the page.

This patch doesn't handle the shmem file pages that use swap too.
The reason is I just find a hack way the make sure a page is shmem file
page. Then I separate code of shmem file pages to last patch of this
series.

[RFC 2/4] Add non-swap page flag to mark a page will not swap

[Hui Zhu]

After a page marked non-swap flag in swap driver, it will add to
unevictable lru list.
This page will be kept in this status before its data changed.

Can't we just have PageNonSwap() return false when CONFIG_NON_SWAP is
not defined, and lose the ugly #ifdef? It will make this much cleaner.

Again, I hate the added #ifdef in code, when we can have stub functions
make non_swap false.

A lot of the #ifdef's can be nuked with proper stub functions, which
makes maintaining and reviewing the code much easier.

[RFC 3/4] ZRAM: do not swap the page that compressed size bigger than non_swap

[Hui Zhu]

New option ZRAM_NON_SWAP add a interface "non_swap" to zram.
User can set a unsigned int value to zram.
If a page that compressed size is bigger than limit, mark it as
non-swap.  Then this page will add to unevictable lru list.

This patch doesn't handle the shmem file pages.

[RFC 4/4] vmscan.c: zram: add non swap support for shmem file pages

[Hui Zhu]

This patch add the whole support for shmem file pages non swap.
To make sure a page is shmem file page, check mapping->a_ops == &shmem_aops.
I think it is really a hack way.

There are not a lot of shmem file pages will be swapped out.

I have an interest about the feature for a long time but didn't work on it
because I didn't have a good idea to implment it with generic approach
without layer violation. I will look into this after handling urgent works.

I haven't looked at the patches in details yet. can you educate me a bit?
is your test stable? why the number of lowmemorykill-s has decreased?
... or am reading "The times of lowmemorykiller also decreased" wrong?

suppose you have X pages that result in bad compression size (from zram
point of view). zram stores such pages uncompressed, IOW we have no memory
savings - swapped out page lands in zsmalloc PAGE_SIZE class. now you
don't try to store those pages in zsmalloc, but keep them as unevictable.
so the page still occupies PAGE_SIZE; no memory saving again. why did it
improve LMK?

No, zram will not save this page uncompressed with these patches.  It
will set it as non-swap and kick back to shrink_page_list.
Shrink_page_list will remove this page from swapcache and kick it to
unevictable list.
Then this page will not be swaped before it get write.
That is why most of code are around vmscan.c.

Hui

If I understand Sergey's point right, he means there is no gain
to save memory between before and after.

With your approach, you can prevent unnecessary pageout(i.e.,
uncompressible page swap out) but it doesn't mean you save the
memory compared to old so why does your patch decrease the number of
lowmemory killing?

A thing I can imagine is without this feature, zram could be full of
uncompressible pages so good-compressible page cannot be swapped out.
Hui, is this scenario right for your case?

Thanks.

you are right Minchan, that was exactly my point. every compressed page
that does not end up in huge_object zspage should result in some memory
saving (somewhere in the range from bytes to kilobytes).

> A thing I can imagine is without this feature, zram could be full of

a good theory.

in general, a selective compression of N first pages that fall under the
given compression limit is not the same as a selective compression of N
"best" compressible pages. so I'm a bit uncertain about the guarantees
that the patch can provide.

let's assume the following case.
- zram compression size limit set to 2400 bytes (only pages smaller than
  that will be stored in zsmalloc)
- first K pages to swapout have compression size of 2350 +/- 10%
- next L pages have compression size of 2500 +/- 10%
- last M pages are un-compressible - PAGE_SIZE.
- zram disksize can fit N pages
- N > K + L

so instead of compressing and swapping out K + L pages, you would compress
only K pages, leaving (L + M) * PAGE_SIZE untouched. thus I'd say that we
might have bigger chances of LMK/OOM/etc. in some cases.

That is one reason.  But it is not the principal one.

Another reason is when swap is running to put page to zram, what the
system wants is to get memory.
Then the deal is system spends cpu time and memory to get memory. If
the zram just access the high compression rate pages, system can get
more memory with the same amount of memory. It will pull system from
low memory status earlier. (Maybe more cpu time, because the
compression rate checks. But maybe less, because fewer pages need to
digress. That is the interesting part. :)
I think that is why lmk times decrease.

And yes, all of this depends on the number of high compression rate
pages. So you cannot just set a non_swap limit to the system and get
everything. You need to do a lot of test around it to make sure the
non_swap limit is good for your system.

And I think use AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE without kicking page to a
special list will make cpu too busy sometimes.
I did some tests before I kick page to a special list. The shrink task
will be moved around, around and around because low compression rate
pages just moved from one list to another a lot of times, again, again
and again.
And all this low compression rate pages always stay together.

Hui

Yes, and it would same with your patch if new arraival write on CoWed
page is uncompressible data.

Sorry for this part.  It should be function shrink_page_list.

I will do more test for that and post the patch later.

Thanks,

I look over the patchset now and I feel it's really hard to accept
in mainline, unfortunately. Sorry.
It spreads out lots of tricky code in MM for a special usecase
so it's hard to justify, I think.

A thing I can think to avoid no-good-comp-ratio page storing into zram
is that zram can return AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE if it found the page is
uncompressible in zram_rw_page so that VM can promote the page to
active LRU. With that, the uncompressible page will have more time to
redirty with hope that it can have compressible data this time.
