Commit e380bebe47 ("mm, compaction: keep migration source private to a
single compaction instance") moved update of async and sync
compact_cached_migrate_pfn from update_pageblock_skip to
update_cached_migrate but left the comment behind. Move the relevant
comment to correct this.

After 90ed667c03 ("Revert "Revert "mm/compaction: fix set skip in
fast_find_migrateblock"""), we remove skip set in fast_find_migrateblock.
Correct comment that fast_find_block is used to avoid isolation_suitable
check for pageblock returned from fast_find_migrateblock because
fast_find_migrateblock will mark found pageblock skipped.
Instead, comment that fast_find_block is used to avoid a redundant check
of fast found pageblock which is already checked skip flag inside
fast_find_migrateblock.

Move migrate_pfn to page block end when block is marked skip to avoid
unnecessary scan retry of that block from upper caller. For example,
compact_zone may wrongly rescan skip page block with finish_pageblock
set as following:
1. cc->migrate point to the start of page block
2. compact_zone record last_migrated_pfn to cc->migrate
3. compact_zone->isolate_migratepages->isolate_migratepages_block
tries to scan the block. The low_pfn maybe moved forward to middle of
block because of free pages at beginning of block.
4. we find first lru page could be isolated but block was exclusive
marked skip.
5. abort isolate_migratepages_block and make cc->migrate_pfn point to
found lru page at middle of block.
6. compact_zone find cc->migrate_pfn and last_migrated_pfn are in the
same block and wrongly rescan the block with finish_pageblock set.

We record start pfn of last isolated page block with last_migrated_pfn. And
then:
1. We check if we mark the page block skip for exclusive access in
isolate_migratepages_block by test if next migrate pfn is still in last
isolated page block. If so, we will set finish_pageblock to do the
rescan.
2. We check if a full cc->order block is scanned by test if last scan
range passes the cc->order block boundary. If so, we flush the pages
were freed.
We treat cc->migrate_pfn before isolate_migratepages as the start pfn of
last isolated page range. However, we always align migrate_pfn to page
block or move to another page block in fast_find_migrateblock or in
linearly scan forward in isolate_migratepages before do page isolation in
isolate_migratepages_block.
Update last_migrated_pfn with pageblock_start_pfn(cc->migrate_pfn - 1)
after scan to correctly set start pfn of last isolated page range. To
avoid that:
1. Miss a rescan with finish_pageblock set as last_migrate_pfn does
not point to right pageblock and the migrate will not be in pageblock
of last_migrate_pfn as it should be.
2. Wrongly issue flush by test cc->order block boundary with wrong
last_migrate_pfn.

Just like commit 9721fd8235 ("mm: compaction: skip memory hole

more time to skip the larger memory hole (range: 0x1000000000 -

layout. So like commit 9721fd8235, adding a new helper to skip the

to less than 1us.

On some machines, the normal zone can have a large memory hole like below
memory layout, and we can see the range from 0x100000000 to 0x1800000000
is a hole. So when isolating some migratable pages, the scanner can meet
the hole and it will take more time to skip the large hole. From my
measurement, I can see the isolation scanner will take 80us ~ 100us to
skip the large hole [0x100000000 - 0x1800000000].
So adding a new helper to fast search next online memory section to skip
the large hole can help to find next suitable pageblock efficiently. With
this patch, I can see the large hole scanning only takes < 1us.

In fast_isolate_around(), it assumes the pageblock is fully scanned if
cc->nr_freepages < cc->nr_migratepages after trying to isolate some free
pages, and will set skip flag to avoid scanning in future. However this
can miss setting the skip flag for a fully scanned pageblock (returned
'start_pfn' is equal to 'end_pfn') in the case where cc->nr_freepages is
larger than cc->nr_migratepages.
So using the returned 'start_pfn' from isolate_freepages_block() and
'end_pfn' to decide if a pageblock is fully scanned makes more sense. It
can also cover the case where cc->nr_freepages < cc->nr_migratepages,
which means the 'start_pfn' is usually equal to 'end_pfn' except some
uncommon fatal error occurs after non-strict mode isolation.

During stress testing with higher-order allocations, a deadlock scenario
was observed in compaction: One GFP_NOFS allocation was sleeping on
mm/compaction.c::too_many_isolated(), while all CPUs in the system were
busy with compactors spinning on buffer locks held by the sleeping
GFP_NOFS allocation.
Reclaim is susceptible to this same deadlock; we fixed it by granting
GFP_NOFS allocations additional LRU isolation headroom, to ensure it makes
forward progress while holding fs locks that other reclaimers might
acquire. Do the same here.
This code has been like this since compaction was initially merged, and I
only managed to trigger this with out-of-tree patches that dramatically
increase the contexts that do GFP_NOFS compaction. While the issue is
real, it seems theoretical in nature given existing allocation sites.
Worth fixing now, but no Fixes tag or stable CC.

__compaction_suitable() is supposed to check for available migration
targets. However, it also checks whether the operation was requested via
/proc/sys/vm/compact_memory, and whether the original allocation request
can already succeed. These don't apply to all callsites.
Move the checks out to the callers, so that later patches can deal with
them one by one. No functional change intended.

Almost all of the callers & implementors of migrate_pages() were already
converted to use folios. compaction_alloc() & compaction_free() are
trivial to convert a part of this patch and not worth splitting out.

This reverts commit 95e7a450b8 ("Revert "mm/compaction: fix set skip in
fast_find_migrateblock"").
Commit 7efc3b7261 ("mm/compaction: fix set skip in
fast_find_migrateblock") was reverted due to bug reports about khugepaged
consuming large amounts of CPU without making progress. The underlying
bug was partially fixed by commit cfccd2e63e ("mm, compaction: finish
pageblocks on complete migration failure") but it only mitigated the
problem and Vlastimil Babka pointing out the same issue could
theoretically happen to kcompactd.
As pageblocks containing pages that fail to migrate should now be forcibly
rescanned to set the skip hint if skip hints are used,
fast_find_migrateblock() should no longer loop on a small subset of
pageblocks for prolonged periods of time. Revert the revert so
fast_find_migrateblock() is effective again.
Using the mmtests config workload-usemem-stress-numa-compact, the number
of unique ranges scanned was analysed for both kcompactd and !kcompactd
activity.

Note that the vanilla kernel and the full series had some duplication of
ranges scanned but it was not severe and would be in line with compaction
resets when the skip hints are cleared. Just a revert of commit
7efc3b7261 ("mm/compaction: fix set skip in fast_find_migrateblock")
showed excessive rescans of the same ranges so the series should not
reintroduce bug 1206848.

isolate_migratepages_block should mark a pageblock as skip if scanning
started on an aligned pageblock boundary but it only updates the skip flag
if the first migration candidate is also aligned. Tracing during a
compaction stress load (mmtests: workload-usemem-stress-numa-compact) that
many pageblocks are not marked skip causing excessive scanning of blocks
that had been recently checked. Update pageblock skip based on
"valid_page" which is set if scanning started on a pageblock boundary.

fast_find_migrateblock relies on skip hints to avoid rescanning a recently
selected pageblock but compact_zone() only forces the pageblock scan
completion to set the skip hint if in direct compaction. While this
prevents direct compaction repeatedly scanning a subset of blocks due to
fast_find_migrateblock(), it does not prevent proactive compaction, node
compaction and kcompactd encountering the same problem described in commit
cfccd2e63e ("mm, compaction: finish pageblocks on complete migration
failure").
Force the scan completion of a pageblock to set the skip hint if skip
hints are obeyed to prevent fast_find_migrateblock() repeatedly selecting
a subset of pageblocks.

Patch series "Follow-up "Fix excessive CPU usage during compaction"".
The series "Fix excessive CPU usage during compaction" [1] attempted to
fix a bug [2] but Vlastimil noted that the fix was incomplete [3]. While
the series was merged, fast_find_migrateblock was still disabled. This
series should fix the corner cases and allow 95e7a450b8 ("Revert
"mm/compaction: fix set skip in fast_find_migrateblock"") to be safely
reverted. Details on how many pageblocks are rescanned are in the
changelog of the last patch.

This patch (of 4):
compact_zone() intends to rescan pageblocks if there is a failure to
migrate "within the current order-aligned block". However, the pageblock
scan may already be complete and moved to the next block causing the next
pageblock to be "rescanned". Ensure only the most recent pageblock is
rescanned.

For the /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory file, the admin-guide states: When 1
is written to the file, all zones are compacted such that free memory is
available in contiguous blocks where possible. This can be important for
example in the allocation of huge pages although processes will also
directly compact memory as required
But it was not strictly followed, writing any value would cause all zones
to be compacted.
It has been slightly optimized to comply with the admin-guide. Enforce
the 1 on the unlikely chance that the sysctl handler is ever extended to
do something different.
Commit ef49843841 ("mm/compaction: remove unused variable
sysctl_compact_memory") has also been optimized a bit here, as the
declaration in the external header file has been eliminated, and
sysctl_compact_memory also needs to be verified.

When trying to isolate a migratable pageblock, it can contain several
normal pages or several hugetlb pages (e.g. CONT-PTE 64K hugetlb on arm64)
in a pageblock. That means we may hold the lru lock of a normal page to
continue to isolate the next hugetlb page by isolate_or_dissolve_huge_page()
in the same migratable pageblock.
However in the isolate_or_dissolve_huge_page(), it may allocate a new hugetlb
page and dissolve the old one by alloc_and_dissolve_hugetlb_folio() if the
hugetlb's refcount is zero. That means we can still enter the direct compaction
path to allocate a new hugetlb page under the current lru lock, which
may cause possible deadlock.
To avoid this possible deadlock, we should release the lru lock when
trying to isolate a hugetbl page. Moreover it does not make sense to take
the lru lock to isolate a hugetlb, which is not in the lru list.

commit b717d6b93b ("mm: compaction: include compound page count for
scanning in pageblock isolation") added compound page statistics for
scanning in pageblock isolation, to make sure the number of scanned pages
is always larger than the number of isolated pages when isolating
mirgratable or free pageblock.
However, when failing to isolate the pages when scanning the migratable or
free pageblocks, the isolation failure path did not consider the scanning
statistics of the compound pages, which result in showing the incorrect
number of scanned pages in tracepoints or in vmstats which will confuse
people about the page scanning pressure in memory compaction.
Thus we should take into account the number of scanning pages when failing
to isolate the compound pages to make the statistics accurate.

No functional changes intended.

Commit 7efc3b7261 ("mm/compaction: fix set skip in
fast_find_migrateblock") address an issue where a pageblock selected by
fast_find_migrateblock() was ignored. Unfortunately, the same fix
resulted in numerous reports of khugepaged or kcompactd stalling for long
periods of time or consuming 100% of CPU.
Tracing showed that there was a lot of rescanning between a small subset
of pageblocks because the conditions for marking the block skip are not
met. The scan is not reaching the end of the pageblock because enough
pages were isolated but none were migrated successfully. Eventually it
circles back to the same block.
Pageblock skip tracking tries to minimise both latency and excessive
scanning but tracking exactly when a block is fully scanned requires an
excessive amount of state. This patch forcibly rescans a pageblock when
all isolated pages fail to migrate even though it could be for transient
reasons such as page writeback or page dirty. This will sometimes migrate
too many pages but pageblocks will be marked skip and forward progress
will be made.
"Usemen" from the mmtests configuration
workload-usemem-stress-numa-compact was used to stress compaction. The
compaction trace events were recorded using a 6.2-rc5 kernel that includes
commit 7efc3b7261 and count of unique ranges were measured. The top 5
ranges were
3076 range=(0x10ca00-0x10cc00)
3076 range=(0x110a00-0x110c00)
3098 range=(0x13b600-0x13b800)
3104 range=(0x141c00-0x141e00)
11424 range=(0x11b600-0x11b800)
While this workload is very different than what the bugs reported, the
pattern of the same subset of blocks being repeatedly scanned is observed.
At one point, *only* the range range=(0x11b600 ~ 0x11b800) was scanned
for 2 seconds. 14 seconds passed between the first migration-related
event and the last.
With the series applied including this patch, the top 5 ranges were
1 range=(0x11607e-0x116200)
1 range=(0x116200-0x116278)
1 range=(0x116278-0x116400)
1 range=(0x116400-0x116424)
1 range=(0x116424-0x116600)
Only unique ranges were scanned and the time between the first
migration-related event was 0.11 milliseconds.

Patch series "Fix excessive CPU usage during compaction".
Commit 7efc3b7261 ("mm/compaction: fix set skip in fast_find_migrateblock")
fixed a problem where pageblocks found by fast_find_migrateblock() were
ignored. Unfortunately there were numerous bug reports complaining about high
CPU usage and massive stalls once 6.1 was released. Due to the severity,
the patch was reverted by Vlastimil as a short-term fix[1] to -stable.
The underlying problem for each of the bugs is suspected to be the
repeated scanning of the same pageblocks. This series should guarantee
forward progress even with commit 7efc3b7261. More information is in
the changelog for patch 4.
[1] http://lore.kernel.org/r/20230113173345.9692-1-vbabka@suse.cz
This patch (of 4):
The rescan field was not well named albeit accurate at the time. Rename
the field to finish_pageblock to indicate that the remainder of the
pageblock should be scanned regardless of COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX. The intent
is that pageblocks with transient failures get marked for skipping to
avoid revisiting the same pageblock.

Patch series "Some small improvements for compaction".
When I did some compaction testing, I found some small room for
improvement as well as some code cleanups.
This patch (of 5):
The compaction_suitable() will never return values other than
COMPACT_SUCCESS, COMPACT_SKIPPED and COMPACT_CONTINUE, so after validation
of COMPACT_SUCCESS and COMPACT_SKIPPED, we will never hit other unexpected
case. Thus remove the redundant VM_BUG_ON() validation for the return
values of compaction_suitable().
