[PATCH -V11 1/9] mm/numa: automatically generate node migration order

[Huang Ying]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

This patchset is generated via

- `git format-patch` the V10 patchset in the mmots tree of 2021-07-15

The changes are as follows,

- Revise the patch description of [1/9] based on the previous discussion

- Rename can_demote_anon_pages() to can_demote() to reflect the fact
  that the function is for anon and file pages.

Patch series "Migrate Pages in lieu of discard", v11.

We're starting to see systems with more and more kinds of memory such as
Intel's implementation of persistent memory.

Let's say you have a system with some DRAM and some persistent memory.
Today, once DRAM fills up, reclaim will start and some of the DRAM
contents will be thrown out.  Allocations will, at some point, start
falling over to the slower persistent memory.

That has two nasty properties.  First, the newer allocations can end up in
the slower persistent memory.  Second, reclaimed data in DRAM are just
discarded even if there are gobs of space in persistent memory that could
be used.

This patchset implements a solution to these problems.  At the end of the
reclaim process in shrink_page_list() just before the last page refcount
is dropped, the page is migrated to persistent memory instead of being
dropped.

While I've talked about a DRAM/PMEM pairing, this approach would function
in any environment where memory tiers exist.

This is not perfect.  It "strands" pages in slower memory and never brings
them back to fast DRAM.  Huang Ying has follow-on work which repurposes
NUMA balancing to promote hot pages back to DRAM.

This is also all based on an upstream mechanism that allows persistent
memory to be onlined and used as if it were volatile:

	http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190124231441.37A4A305@viggo.jf.intel.com

With that, the DRAM and PMEM in each socket will be represented as 2
separate NUMA nodes, with the CPUs sit in the DRAM node.  So the
general inter-NUMA demotion mechanism introduced in the patchset can
migrate the cold DRAM pages to the PMEM node.

We have tested the patchset with the postgresql and pgbench.  On a
2-socket server machine with DRAM and PMEM, the kernel with the patchset
can improve the score of pgbench up to 22.1% compared with that of the
DRAM only + disk case.  This comes from the reduced disk read throughput
(which reduces up to 70.8%).

== Open Issues ==

 * Memory policies and cpusets that, for instance, restrict allocations
   to DRAM can be demoted to PMEM whenever they opt in to this
   new mechanism.  A cgroup-level API to opt-in or opt-out of
   these migrations will likely be required as a follow-on.
 * Could be more aggressive about where anon LRU scanning occurs
   since it no longer necessarily involves I/O.  get_scan_count()
   for instance says: "If we have no swap space, do not bother
   scanning anon pages"


This patch (of 9):

Prepare for the kernel to auto-migrate pages to other memory nodes with a
node migration table.  This allows creating single migration target for
each NUMA node to enable the kernel to do NUMA page migrations instead of
simply discarding colder pages.  A node with no target is a "terminal
node", so reclaim acts normally there.  The migration target does not
fundamentally _need_ to be a single node, but this implementation starts
there to limit complexity.

When memory fills up on a node, memory contents can be automatically
migrated to another node.  The biggest problems are knowing when to
migrate and to where the migration should be targeted.

The most straightforward way to generate the "to where" list would be to
follow the page allocator fallback lists.  Those lists already tell us if
memory is full where to look next.  It would also be logical to move
memory in that order.

But, the allocator fallback lists have a fatal flaw: most nodes appear in
all the lists.  This would potentially lead to migration cycles (A->B,
B->A, A->B, ...).

Instead of using the allocator fallback lists directly, keep a separate
node migration ordering.  But, reuse the same data used to generate page
allocator fallback in the first place: find_next_best_node().

This means that the firmware data used to populate node distances
essentially dictates the ordering for now.  It should also be
architecture-neutral since all NUMA architectures have a working
find_next_best_node().

RCU is used to allow lock-less read of node_demotion[] and prevent
demotion cycles been observed.  If multiple reads of node_demotion[] are
performed, a single rcu_read_lock() must be held over all reads to ensure
no cycles are observed.  Details are as follows.

=== What does RCU provide? ===

Imagine a simple loop which walks down the demotion path looking
for the last node:

        terminal_node = start_node;
        while (node_demotion[terminal_node] != NUMA_NO_NODE) {
                terminal_node = node_demotion[terminal_node];
        }

The initial values are:

        node_demotion[0] = 1;
        node_demotion[1] = NUMA_NO_NODE;

and are updated to:

        node_demotion[0] = NUMA_NO_NODE;
        node_demotion[1] = 0;

What guarantees that the cycle is not observed:

        node_demotion[0] = 1;
        node_demotion[1] = 0;

and would loop forever?

With RCU, a rcu_read_lock/unlock() can be placed around the loop.  Since
the write side does a synchronize_rcu(), the loop that observed the old
contents is known to be complete before the synchronize_rcu() has
completed.

RCU, combined with disable_all_migrate_targets(), ensures that the old
migration state is not visible by the time __set_migration_target_nodes()
is called.

=== What does READ_ONCE() provide? ===

READ_ONCE() forbids the compiler from merging or reordering successive
reads of node_demotion[].  This ensures that any updates are *eventually*
observed.

Consider the above loop again.  The compiler could theoretically read the
entirety of node_demotion[] into local storage (registers) and never go
back to memory, and *permanently* observe bad values for node_demotion[].

Note: RCU does not provide any universal compiler-ordering
guarantees:

	https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20150921204327.GH4029@linux.vnet.ibm.com/

This code is unused for now.  It will be called later in the
series.

[PATCH -V11 2/9] mm/migrate: update node demotion order on hotplug events

[Huang Ying]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

Reclaim-based migration is attempting to optimize data placement in memory
based on the system topology.  If the system changes, so must the
migration ordering.

The implementation is conceptually simple and entirely unoptimized.  On
any memory or CPU hotplug events, assume that a node was added or removed
and recalculate all migration targets.  This ensures that the
node_demotion[] array is always ready to be used in case the new reclaim
mode is enabled.

This recalculation is far from optimal, most glaringly that it does not
even attempt to figure out the hotplug event would have some *actual*
effect on the demotion order.  But, given the expected paucity of hotplug
events, this should be fine.

[PATCH -V11 3/9] mm/migrate: enable returning precise migrate_pages() success count

[Huang Ying]

From: Yang Shi <yang.shi@linux.alibaba.com>

Under normal circumstances, migrate_pages() returns the number of pages
migrated.  In error conditions, it returns an error code.  When returning
an error code, there is no way to know how many pages were migrated or not
migrated.

Make migrate_pages() return how many pages are demoted successfully for
all cases, including when encountering errors.  Page reclaim behavior will
depend on this in subsequent patches.

[PATCH -V11 4/9] mm/migrate: demote pages during reclaim

[Huang Ying]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

This is mostly derived from a patch from Yang Shi:

	https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/1560468577-101178-10-git-send-email-yang.shi@linux.alibaba.com/

Add code to the reclaim path (shrink_page_list()) to "demote" data to
another NUMA node instead of discarding the data.  This always avoids the
cost of I/O needed to read the page back in and sometimes avoids the
writeout cost when the page is dirty.

A second pass through shrink_page_list() will be made if any demotions
fail.  This essentially falls back to normal reclaim behavior in the case
that demotions fail.  Previous versions of this patch may have simply
failed to reclaim pages which were eligible for demotion but were unable
to be demoted in practice.

For some cases, for example, MADV_PAGEOUT, the pages are always discarded
instead of demoted to follow the kernel API definition.  Because
MADV_PAGEOUT is defined as freeing specified pages regardless in which
tier they are.

Note: This just adds the start of infrastructure for migration.  It is
actually disabled next to the FIXME in migrate_demote_page_ok().

[PATCH -V11 6/9] mm/vmscan: add helper for querying ability to age anonymous pages

[Huang Ying]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

Anonymous pages are kept on their own LRU(s).  These lists could
theoretically always be scanned and maintained.  But, without swap, there
is currently nothing the kernel can *do* with the results of a scanned,
sorted LRU for anonymous pages.

A check for '!total_swap_pages' currently serves as a valid check as to
whether anonymous LRUs should be maintained.  However, another method will
be added shortly: page demotion.

Abstract out the 'total_swap_pages' checks into a helper, give it a
logically significant name, and check for the possibility of page
demotion.

[PATCH -V11 7/9] mm/vmscan: Consider anonymous pages without swap

[Huang Ying]

From: Keith Busch <kbusch@kernel.org>

Reclaim anonymous pages if a migration path is available now that demotion
provides a non-swap recourse for reclaiming anon pages.

Note that this check is subtly different from the can_age_anon_pages()
checks.  This mechanism checks whether a specific page in a specific
context can actually be reclaimed, given current swap space and cgroup
limits.

can_age_anon_pages() is a much simpler and more preliminary check which
just says whether there is a possibility of future reclaim.

[PATCH -V11 8/9] mm/vmscan: never demote for memcg reclaim

[Huang Ying]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

Global reclaim aims to reduce the amount of memory used on a given node or
set of nodes.  Migrating pages to another node serves this purpose.

memcg reclaim is different.  Its goal is to reduce the total memory
consumption of the entire memcg, across all nodes.  Migration does not
assist memcg reclaim because it just moves page contents between nodes
rather than actually reducing memory consumption.

[PATCH -V11 9/9] mm/migrate: add sysfs interface to enable reclaim migration

[Huang Ying]

Some method is obviously needed to enable reclaim-based migration.

Just like traditional autonuma, there will be some workloads that will
benefit like workloads with more "static" configurations where hot pages
stay hot and cold pages stay cold.  If pages come and go from the hot and
cold sets, the benefits of this approach will be more limited.

The benefits are truly workload-based and *not* hardware-based.  We do not
believe that there is a viable threshold where certain hardware
configurations should have this mechanism enabled while others do not.

To be conservative, earlier work defaulted to disable reclaim- based
migration and did not include a mechanism to enable it.  This proposes add
a new sysfs file

  /sys/kernel/mm/numa/demotion_enabled

as a method to enable it.

We are open to any alternative that allows end users to enable this
mechanism or disable it if workload harm is detected (just like
traditional autonuma).

Once this is enabled page demotion may move data to a NUMA node that does
not fall into the cpuset of the allocating process.  This could be
construed to violate the guarantees of cpusets.  However, since this is an
opt-in mechanism, the assumption is that anyone enabling it is content to
relax the guarantees.

+Description:	Enable/disable demoting pages during reclaim
+
+		Page migration during reclaim is intended for systems
+		with tiered memory configurations.  These systems have
+		multiple types of memory with varied performance
+		characteristics instead of plain NUMA systems where
+		the same kind of memory is found at varied distances.
+		Allowing page migration during reclaim enables these
+		systems to migrate pages from fast tiers to slow tiers
+		when the fast tier is under pressure.  This migration
+		is performed before swap.  It may move data to a NUMA
+		node that does not fall into the cpuset of the
+		allocating process which might be construed to violate
+		the guarantees of cpusets.  This should not be enabled
+		on systems which need strict cpuset location
+		guarantees.

Should this be folded into Patch 4 when can_demote() is introduced?

I guess it could be.  But, it's logically separate since it has its
own justification which is rather discrete.

I think it's best to keep it separate.

I intend to report a issue that is being caused by this patch.
 From 5.14 to 5.15 kernel, hotplug on power systems was observed to be
taking double the expected time. Git bisect between these two kernels
points to this patch as the one causing the issue.
I have verified from cpu-hotplug callback trace that we are infact
spending a lot of time in migration_offline_cpu code path.
I see that there have been subsequent patches to optimize this update
node demotion order code, but those patches are already in 5.15 kernel
and regressions are still observed even after those optimizations.
I have also recreated and observed the issue across systems with
different configs, and across different kernels containing this patch.
If needed, I will provide experiment results and traces that were used
to conclude this.

- Abhishek

It would be great if you can provide some more info.  Even just a CPU
time profile would be helpful.

It would also be great to understand more about what "hotplug on power
systems" actually means.  Is this a synthetic benchmark, or are actual
end-users running into this issue?  Are entire nodes of CPUs going
offline?  Or is this just doing an offline/online of CPU 22 in a 100-CPU
NUMA node?

Average total time taken for SMT=8 to SMT=1 in v5.14 : 20s

Average total time taken for SMT=8 to SMT=1 in v5.15 : 36s

(Observed in system with 150+ CPUs )

No, this is not a synthetic benchmark. This can be recreated with
entire nodes of CPUs going offline. And the online/offline operations
have been performed by simple scripts. The time observed can also be
verified (for individual CPU or the entire system) by observing CPU-
Hotplug trace which provide consistent result as observed by using
the scripts.

I was kinda thinking of:

	perf record / perf report

output.  Not wall clock time.  We need to know what the kernel is doing
during those extra 16 seconds.

We have run into a memory hotplug regression before.  Let's check
whether the problem is similar.  Can you try the below debug patch?

This works. Applied this on 5.15 kernel and don't see any regression
compared to 5.14 kernel.
So, Have you posted this patch yet? Or any plans on inclusion of any
similar patch?

These callbacks feel like re-inveting the wheel.
We do already have two functions that get called during cpu
online/offline, and that sets/clears N_CPU on the node properly.
And that is exactly what we want, so what about the following (only
compile-tested):

I think this is just easier and meets exactly the goal.

We could go even further and move the work left in
migrate_on_reclaim_init() to init_mm_internals().
(I __think__ we should be fine because there is no dependency
there, e.g: notifier being set up somewhere later after
init_mm_internals() has been called).

Yeah, those callbacks do look like they're reinventing the wheel.  This
is a much more direct way of doing it.

Then let me play a bit more with it and I can cook a patch unless
someone feels strong against it.
