o Rebase on top of the page allocator optimisation series
o Remove RFC tag

This is the latest version of a series that moves LRUs from the zones to
the node that is based upon 4.6-rc3 plus the page allocator optimisation
series. Conceptually, this is simple but there are a lot of details. Some
of the broad motivations for this are;

1. The residency of a page partially depends on what zone the page was
   allocated from.  This is partially combatted by the fair zone allocation
   policy but that is a partial solution that introduces overhead in the
   page allocator paths.

2. Currently, reclaim on node 0 behaves slightly different to node 1. For
   example, direct reclaim scans in zonelist order and reclaims even if
   the zone is over the high watermark regardless of the age of pages
   in that LRU. Kswapd on the other hand starts reclaim on the highest
   unbalanced zone. A difference in distribution of file/anon pages due
   to when they were allocated results can result in a difference in 
   again. While the fair zone allocation policy mitigates some of the
   problems here, the page reclaim results on a multi-zone node will
   always be different to a single-zone node.
   it was scheduled on as a result.

3. kswapd and the page allocator scan zones in the opposite order to
   avoid interfering with each other but it's sensitive to timing.  This
   mitigates the page allocator using pages that were allocated very recently
   in the ideal case but it's sensitive to timing. When kswapd is allocating
   from lower zones then it's great but during the rebalancing of the highest
   zone, the page allocator and kswapd interfere with each other. It's worse
   if the highest zone is small and difficult to balance.

4. slab shrinkers are node-based which makes it harder to identify the exact
   relationship between slab reclaim and LRU reclaim.

The reason we have zone-based reclaim is that we used to have
large highmem zones in common configurations and it was necessary
to quickly find ZONE_NORMAL pages for reclaim. Today, this is much
less of a concern as machines with lots of memory will (or should) use
64-bit kernels. Combinations of 32-bit hardware and 64-bit hardware are
rare. Machines that do use highmem should have relatively low highmem:lowmem
ratios than we worried about in the past.

Conceptually, moving to node LRUs should be easier to understand. The
page allocator plays fewer tricks to game reclaim and reclaim behaves
similarly on all nodes. 

It was tested on a UMA (16 cores single socket) and a NUMA machine (48
cores, 2 sockets). In most cases, only the UMA results are presented as
the NUMA machine takes an excessive amount of time to complete tests.

There may be an obvious difference in the number of
allocations from each zone as the fair zone allocation policy is removed
towards the end of the series. In cases where the working set exceeds memory,
the differences will be small but on small workloads it'll be very obvious.
For example, these are the allocation stats on a workload that is doing small
amounts of dd.

Movable allocs                       0           0

The key reason why this is not a problem is that kswapd will sleep if any
applicable zone for a classzone is free. If it tried to balance all zones
then there would be excessive reclaim.

bonnie
------

This was configured to do an IO test with a working set 2*RAM using the
ext4 filesystem.  For both machines, there was no significant performance
difference between them but this is the result for the UMA machine

Note that the massive gains shown here are possible an anomaly. It has been noted
that in some cases, bonnie gets an artifical boost due to dumb reclaim luck. There
is no guarantee this result would be reproducible on the same machine let alone
any other machine. That said, the VM stats are interesting;

However, the overall VM stats are interesting

The series does not swap the workload and it never stalls on direct reclaim. There
is a slight increase in kswapd scans but it's offset by the elimination of direct
scans and the overall scanning velocity is not noticably higher. While it's not
reported here, the overall IO stats and CPU usage over time are very similar. kswapd
CPU usage is slightly elevated but (0.5% usage to roughly 1.2% usage over time) but
that is acceptable given the lack of direct reclaim.

tiobench
--------

tiobench is a flawed benchmark but it's very important in this case. tiobench
benefited from a bug prior to the fair zone allocation policy that allowed
old pages to be artificially preserved. The visible impact was that performance
exceeded the physical capabilities of the disk. With this patch applied the results are

Note that the performance is almost identical allowing us to conclude that
the correct reclaim behaviour granted by the fair zone allocation policy
is preserved.

stutter
-------

stutter simulates a simple workload. One part uses a lot of anonymous
memory, a second measures mmap latency and a third copies a large file.
The primary metric is checking for mmap latency.

The VM stats in this case were not that intresting and are very roughly comparable.

Page allocator intensive workloads showed few differences as the cost
of the fair zone allocation policy does not dominate from a userspace
perspective but a microbench of just the allocator shows a difference

This series is not without its hazards. There are at least three areas
that I'm concerned with even though I could not reproduce any problems in
that area.

1. Reclaim/compaction is going to be affected because the amount of reclaim is
   no longer targetted at a specific zone. Compaction works on a per-zone basis
   so there is no guarantee that reclaiming a few THP's worth page pages will
   have a positive impact on compaction success rates.

2. The Slab/LRU reclaim ratio is affected because the frequency the shrinkers
   are called is now different. This may or may not be a problem but if it
   is, it'll be because shrinkers are not called enough and some balancing
   is required.

3. The anon/file reclaim ratio may be affected. Pages about to be dirtied are
   distributed between zones and the fair zone allocation policy used to do
   something very similar for anon. The distribution is now different but not
   necessarily in any way that matters but it's still worth bearing in mind.

#1379619 — [PATCH 22/27] mm: Convert zone_reclaim to node_reclaim

FromMel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net>
Date2016-04-15 11:20 +0200
Subject[PATCH 22/27] mm: Convert zone_reclaim to node_reclaim
Message-ID<ro84Z-In-75@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1379616
As reclaim is now per-node based, convert zone_reclaim to be node_reclaim.
It is possible that a node will be reclaimed multiple times if it has
multiple zones but this is unavoidable without caching all nodes traversed
so far.  The documentation and interface to userspace is the same from
a configuration perspective and will will be similar in behaviour unless
the node-local allocation requests were also limited to lower zones.

Message-ID<ro84Z-In-81@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1379616
This is convenient when tracking down why the skip count is high because it'll
show what classzone kswapd woke up at and what zones are being isolated.

#1379622 — [PATCH 06/27] mm, vmscan: Make kswapd reclaim in terms of nodes

FromMel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net>

Subject[PATCH 06/27] mm, vmscan: Make kswapd reclaim in terms of nodes
Message-ID<ro850-In-87@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1379616
Patch "mm: vmscan: Begin reclaiming pages on a per-node basis" started
thinking of reclaim in terms of nodes but kswapd is still zone-centric. This
patch gets rid of many of the node-based versus zone-based decisions.

o A node is considered balanced when any eligible lower zone is balanced.
  This eliminates one class of age-inversion problem because we avoid
  reclaiming a newer page just because it's in the wrong zone
o pgdat_balanced disappears because we now only care about one zone being
  balanced.
o Some anomalies related to writeback and congestion tracking being based on
  zones disappear.
o kswapd no longer has to take care to reclaim zones in the reverse order
  that the page allocator uses.
o Most importantly of all, reclaim from node 0 with multiple zones will
  have similar aging and reclaiming characteristics as every
  other node.

Also kcompactd is woken up in this case...

This looks indeed simpler than my earlier zone_balanced() modification 
you removed. However I think there's still potential of overreclaim due 
to a stream of kswapd_wakeups where each will have to reclaim 2UL << 
sc->order pages, regardless of watermarks. Could be some high-order 
wakeups from GFP_ATOMIC context that have order-0 fallbacks but will 
cause kswapd to keep reclaiming when kcompactd can't keep up due to 
fragmentation...

#1379623 — [PATCH 08/27] mm, vmscan: Simplify the logic deciding whether kswapd sleeps

Subject[PATCH 08/27] mm, vmscan: Simplify the logic deciding whether kswapd sleeps
Message-ID<ro850-In-89@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1379616
kswapd goes through some complex steps trying to figure out if it
should stay awake based on the classzone_idx and the requested order.
It is unnecessarily complex and passes in an invalid classzone_idx to
balance_pgdat().  What matters most of all is whether a larger order has
been requsted and whether kswapd successfully reclaimed at the previous
order. This patch irons out the logic to check just that and the end result
is less headache inducing.

#1379644 — [PATCH 01/27] mm, vmstat: Add infrastructure for per-node vmstats

FromMel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net>
Date2016-04-15 11:40 +0200
Subject[PATCH 01/27] mm, vmstat: Add infrastructure for per-node vmstats
Message-ID<ro8oi-S5-11@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1379616
VM statistic counters for reclaim decisions are zone-based. If the kernel
is to reclaim on a per-node basis then we need to track per-node statistics
but there is no infrastructure for that. The most notable change is that
the old node_page_state is renamed to sum_zone_node_page_state.  The new
node_page_state takes a pglist_data and uses per-node stats but none exist
yet. There is some renaming such as vm_stat to vm_zone_stat and the addition
of vm_node_stat and the renaming of mod_state to mod_zone_state. Otherwise,
this is mostly a mechanical patch with no functional change. There is a
lot of similarity between the node and zone helpers which is unfortunate
but there was no obvious way of reusing the code and maintaining type safety.
