[RFC PATCH 0/6] Improving munlock() performance for large non-THP areas

[RFC PATCH 0/6] Improving munlock() performance for large non-THP areas

[Vlastimil Babka]

Hi everyone and apologies for any mistakes in my first attempt at linux-mm
contribution :)

The goal of this patch series is to improve performance of munlock() of large
mlocked memory areas on systems without THP. This is motivated by reported very
long times of crash recovery of processes with such areas, where munlock() can
take several seconds. See http://lwn.net/Articles/548108/

The work was driven by a simple benchmark (to be included in mmtests) that
mmaps() e.g. 56GB with MAP_LOCKED | MAP_POPULATE and measures the time of
munlock(). Profiling was performed by attaching operf --pid to the process
and sending a signal to trigger the munlock() part and then notify bach
the monitoring wrapper to stop operf, so that only munlock() appears in the
profile.

The profiles have shown that CPU time is spent mostly by atomic operations
and locking, which the patches aim to reduce, starting from easier to more
complex changes.

Patch 1 performs a simple cleanup in putback_lru_page() so that page lru base
	type is not determined without being actually needed.

Patch 2 removes an unnecessary call to lru_add_drain() which drains the per-cpu
	pagevec after each munlocked page is put there.

Patch 3 changes munlock_vma_range() to use an on-stack pagevec for isolating
	multiple non-THP pages under a single lru_lock instead of locking and
	processing each page separately.

Patch 4 changes the NR_MLOCK accounting to be called only once per the pvec
	introduced by previous patch.

Patch 5 uses the introduced pagevec to batch also the work of putback_lru_page
	when possible, bypassing the per-cpu pvec and associated overhead.

Patch 6 Removes a redundant get_page/put_page pair which saves costly atomic
	operations.

Measurements were made using 3.11-rc3 as a baseline.

[RFC PATCH 1/6] mm: putback_lru_page: remove unnecessary call to page_lru_base_type()

[Vlastimil Babka]

In putback_lru_page() since commit c53954a092 (""mm: remove lru parameter from
__lru_cache_add and lru_cache_add_lru") it is no longer needed to determine lru
list via page_lru_base_type().

This patch replaces it with simple flag is_unevictable which says that the page
was put on the inevictable list. This is the only information that matters in
subsequent tests.

[RFC PATCH 2/6] mm: munlock: remove unnecessary call to lru_add_drain()

[Vlastimil Babka]

In munlock_vma_range(), lru_add_drain() is currently called in a loop before
each munlock_vma_page() call.
This is suboptimal for performance when munlocking many pages. The benefits
of per-cpu pagevec for batching the LRU putback are removed since the pagevec
only holds at most one page from the previous loop's iteration.

The lru_add_drain() call also does not serve any purposes for correctness - it
does not even drain pagavecs of all cpu's. The munlock code already expects
and handles situations where a page cannot be isolated from the LRU (e.g.
because it is on some per-cpu pagevec).

The history of the (not commented) call also suggest that it appears there as
an oversight rather than intentionally. Before commit ff6a6da6 ("mm: accelerate
munlock() treatment of THP pages") the call happened only once upon entering the
function. The commit has moved the call into the while loope. So while the
other changes in the commit improved munlock performance for THP pages, it
introduced the abovementioned suboptimal per-cpu pagevec usage.

Further in history, before commit 408e82b7 ("mm: munlock use follow_page"),
munlock_vma_pages_range() was just a wrapper around __mlock_vma_pages_range
which performed both mlock and munlock depending on a flag. However, before
ba470de4 ("mmap: handle mlocked pages during map, remap, unmap") the function
handled only mlock, not munlock. The lru_add_drain call thus comes from the
implementation in commit b291f000 ("mlock: mlocked pages are unevictable" and
was intended only for mlocking, not munlocking. The original intention of
draining the LRU pagevec at mlock time was to ensure the pages were on the LRU
before the lock operation so that they could be placed on the unevictable list
immediately. There is very little motivation to do the same in the munlock path
this, particularly for every single page.

This patch therefore removes the call completely. After removing the call, a
10% speedup was measured for munlock() of a 56GB large memory area with THP
disabled.

[RFC PATCH 3/6] mm: munlock: batch non-THP page isolation and munlock+putback using pagevec

[Vlastimil Babka]

Currently, munlock_vma_range() calls munlock_vma_page on each page in a loop,
which results in repeated taking and releasing of the lru_lock spinlock for
isolating pages one by one. This patch batches the munlock operations using
an on-stack pagevec, so that isolation is done under single lru_lock. For THP
pages, the old behavior is preserved as they might be split while putting them
into the pagevec. After this patch, a 9% speedup was measured for munlocking
a 56GB large memory area with THP disabled.

A new function __munlock_pagevec() is introduced that takes a pagevec and:
1) It clears PageMlocked and isolates all pages under lru_lock. Zone page stats
can be also updated using the variant which assumes disabled interrupts.
2) It finishes the munlock and lru putback on all pages under their lock_page.
Note that previously, lock_page covered also the PageMlocked clearing and page
isolation, but it is not needed for those operations.

[RFC PATCH 4/6] mm: munlock: batch NR_MLOCK zone state updates

[Vlastimil Babka]

Depending on previous batch which introduced batched isolation in
munlock_vma_range(), we can batch also the updates of NR_MLOCK
page stats. After the whole pagevec is processed for page isolation,
the stats are updated only once with the number of successful isolations.
There were however no measurable perfomance gains.

[RFC PATCH 5/6] mm: munlock: bypass per-cpu pvec for putback_lru_page

[Vlastimil Babka]

After introducing batching by pagevecs into munlock_vma_range(), we can further
improve performance by bypassing the copying into per-cpu pagevec and the
get_page/put_page pair associated with that. Instead we perform LRU putback
directly from our pagevec. However, this is possible only for single-mapped
pages that are evictable after munlock. Unevictable pages require rechecking
after putting on the unevictable list, so for those we fallback to
putback_lru_page(), hich handles that.

After this patch, a 13% speedup was measured for munlocking a 56GB large memory

[RFC PATCH 6/6] mm: munlock: remove redundant get_page/put_page pair on the fast path

[Vlastimil Babka]

The performance of the fast path in munlock_vma_range() can be further improved
by avoiding atomic ops of a redundant get_page()/put_page() pair.

When calling get_page() during page isolation, we already have the pin from
follow_page_mask(). This pin will be then returned by __pagevec_lru_add(),
after which we do not reference the pages anymore.

After this patch, an 8% speedup was measured for munlocking a 56GB large memory
area with THP disabled.

On purely aesthetic grounds I don't like the switch too much.  A bit
more serious is that you don't handle -EBUSY gracefully.  I guess you
would have to mlock() the empty zero page to excercise this code path.

Whenever I see likely() or unlikely() I wonder whether it really makes
a difference or whether it is just cargo-cult programming.  My best
guess is that about half of them are cargo-cult.

Impressive numbers.  Patches 1,2,4,6 look good to me (for whatever
that is worth).  Patch 5 exceeded my review capacity for now, I will
give you feedback once my brain returns from vacation.

Thank you for the patchset!  Work in this area is very much
appreciated.

Right, I just saw this function used like this elsewhere so it seemed
like the right thing to do if I was to reuse as much existing code as
possible. But I already got a suggestion that this is too big of a
hammer for this call path where three simple statements are sufficient
instead, and subsequent patches also replace this.
