mm/writeback: discard NR_UNSTABLE_NFS, use NR_WRITEBACK instead

2020-06-02T17:59:08Z

After an NFS page has been written it is considered "unstable" until a COMMIT request succeeds. If the COMMIT fails, the page will be re-written. These "unstable" pages are currently accounted as "reclaimable", either in WB_RECLAIMABLE, or in NR_UNSTABLE_NFS which is included in a 'reclaimable' count. This might have made sense when sending the COMMIT required a separate action by the VFS/MM (e.g. releasepage() used to send a COMMIT). However now that all writes generated by ->writepages() will automatically be followed by a COMMIT (since commit 919e3bd9a875 ("NFS: Ensure we commit after writeback is complete")) it makes more sense to treat them as writeback pages. So this patch removes NR_UNSTABLE_NFS and accounts unstable pages in NR_WRITEBACK and WB_WRITEBACK. A particular effect of this change is that when wb_check_background_flush() calls wb_over_bg_threshold(), the latter will report 'true' a lot less often as the 'unstable' pages are no longer considered 'dirty' (as there is nothing that writeback can do about them anyway). Currently wb_check_background_flush() will trigger writeback to NFS even when there are relatively few dirty pages (if there are lots of unstable pages), this can result in small writes going to the server (10s of Kilobytes rather than a Megabyte) which hurts throughput. With this patch, there are fewer writes which are each larger on average. Where the NR_UNSTABLE_NFS count was included in statistics virtual-files, the entry is retained, but the value is hard-coded as zero. static trace points and warning printks which mentioned this counter no longer report it.

mm/sparse: rename pfn_present() to pfn_in_present_section()

2020-04-02T16:35:30Z

After introducing mem sub section concept, pfn_present() loses its literal meaning, and will not be necessary a truth on partial populated mem section. Since all of the callers use it to judge an absent section, it is better to rename pfn_present() as pfn_in_present_section().

mm/vmstat: add helpers to get vmstat item names for each enum type

2019-12-05T03:44:11Z

Statistics in vmstat is combined from counters with different structure, but names for them are merged into one array. This patch adds trivial helpers to get name for each item: const char *zone_stat_name(enum zone_stat_item item); const char *numa_stat_name(enum numa_stat_item item); const char *node_stat_name(enum node_stat_item item); const char *writeback_stat_name(enum writeback_stat_item item); const char *vm_event_name(enum vm_event_item item); Names for enum writeback_stat_item are folded in the middle of vmstat_text so this patch moves declaration into header to calculate offset of following items. Also this patch reuses piece of node stat names for lru list names: const char *lru_list_name(enum lru_list lru); This returns common lru list names: "inactive_anon", "active_anon", "inactive_file", "active_file", "unevictable".

drivers/base/memory.c: don't store end_section_nr in memory blocks

2019-09-24T22:54:09Z

Each memory block spans the same amount of sections/pages/bytes. The size is determined before the first memory block is created. No need to store what we can easily calculate - and the calculations even look simpler now. Michal brought up the idea of variable-sized memory blocks. However, if we ever implement something like this, we will need an API compatibility switch and reworks at various places (most code assumes a fixed memory block size). So let's cleanup what we have right now. While at it, fix the variable naming in register_mem_sect_under_node() - we no longer talk about a single section.

drivers/base/node.c: simplify unregister_memory_block_under_nodes()

2019-09-24T22:54:09Z

We don't allow to offline memory block devices that belong to multiple numa nodes. Therefore, such devices can never get removed. It is sufficient to process a single node when removing the memory block. No need to iterate over each and every PFN. We already have the nid stored for each memory block. Make sure that the nid always has a sane value. Please note that checking for node_online(nid) is not required. If we would have a memory block belonging to a node that is no longer offline, then we would have a BUG in the node offlining code.

mm/memory_hotplug: rename walk_memory_range() and pass start+size instead of pfns

2019-07-19T00:08:06Z

walk_memory_range() was once used to iterate over sections. Now, it iterates over memory blocks. Rename the function, fixup the documentation. Also, pass start+size instead of PFNs, which is what most callers already have at hand. (we'll rework link_mem_sections() most probably soon) Follow-up patches will rework, simplify, and move walk_memory_blocks() to drivers/base/memory.c. Note: walk_memory_blocks() only works correctly right now if the start_pfn is aligned to a section start. This is the case right now, but we'll generalize the function in a follow up patch so the semantics match the documentation.
