mm: vmscan: stall page reclaim and writeback pages based on dirty/writepage pages encountered
Further testing of the "Reduce system disruption due to kswapd"
discovered a few problems. First and foremost, it's possible for pages
under writeback to be freed which will lead to badness. Second, as
pages were not being swapped the file LRU was being scanned faster and
clean file pages were being reclaimed. In some cases this results in
increased read IO to re-read data from disk. Third, more pages were
being written from kswapd context which can adversly affect IO
performance. Lastly, it was observed that PageDirty pages are not
necessarily dirty on all filesystems (buffers can be clean while
PageDirty is set and ->writepage generates no IO) and not all
filesystems set PageWriteback when the page is being written (e.g.
ext3). This disconnect confuses the reclaim stalling logic. This
follow-up series is aimed at these problems.
The tests were based on three kernels
vanilla: kernel 3.9 as that is what the current mmotm uses as a baseline
mmotm-20130522 is mmotm as of 22nd May with "Reduce system disruption due to
kswapd" applied on top as per what should be in Andrew's tree
right now
lessdisrupt-v7r10 is this follow-up series on top of the mmotm kernel
The first test used memcached+memcachetest while some background IO was
in progress as implemented by the parallel IO tests implement in MM
Tests. memcachetest benchmarks how many operations/second memcached can
service. It starts with no background IO on a freshly created ext4
filesystem and then re-runs the test with larger amounts of IO in the
background to roughly simulate a large copy in progress. The
expectation is that the IO should have little or no impact on
memcachetest which is running entirely in memory.

memcachetest is the transactions/second reported by memcachetest. In
the vanilla kernel note that performance drops from around
23K/sec to just over 4K/second when there is 2385M of IO going
on in the background. With current mmotm, there is no collapse
in performance and with this follow-up series there is little
change.
swaptotal is the total amount of swap traffic. With mmotm and the follow-up
series, the total amount of swapping is much reduced.

There are a number of observations to make here
1. Swap outs are almost eliminated. Swap ins are 0 indicating that the
pages swapped were really unused anonymous pages. Related to that,
major faults are much reduced.
2. kswapd efficiency was impacted by the initial series but with these
follow-up patches, the efficiency is now at 66% indicating that far
fewer pages were skipped during scanning due to dirty or writeback
pages.
3. kswapd velocity is reduced indicating that fewer pages are being scanned
with the follow-up series as kswapd now stalls when the tail of the
LRU queue is full of unqueued dirty pages. The stall gives flushers a
chance to catch-up so kswapd can reclaim clean pages when it wakes
4. In light of Zlatko's recent reports about zone scanning imbalances,
mmtests now reports scanning velocity on a per-zone basis. With mainline,
you can see that the scanning activity is dominated by the Normal
zone with over 45 times more scanning in Normal than the DMA32 zone.
With the series currently in mmotm, the ratio is slightly better but it
is still the case that the bulk of scanning is in the highest zone. With
this follow-up series, the ratio of scanning between the Normal and
DMA32 zone is roughly equal.
5. As Dave Chinner observed, the current patches in mmotm increased the
number of pages written from kswapd context which is expected to adversly
impact IO performance. With the follow-up patches, far fewer pages are
written from kswapd context than the mainline kernel
6. With the series in mmotm, fewer inodes were reclaimed by kswapd. With
the follow-up series, there is less slab shrinking activity and no inodes
were reclaimed.
7. Note that "Sectors Read" is drastically reduced implying that the source
data being used for the IO is not being aggressively discarded due to
page reclaim skipping over dirty pages and reclaiming clean pages. Note
that the reducion in reads could also be due to inode data not being
re-read from disk after a slab shrink.

In light of the changes in writes from reclaim context, the number of
reads and Dave Chinner's concerns about IO performance I took a closer
look at the IO stats for the test disk. Few observations
1. The average queue size is reduced by the initial series and roughly
the same with this follow up.
2. Average wait times for writes are reduced and as the IO
is completing faster it at least implies that the gain is because
flushers are writing the files efficiently instead of page reclaim
getting in the way.
3. The reduction in maximum write latency is staggering. 28 seconds down
to 3 seconds.
Jan Kara asked how NFS is affected by all of this. Unstable pages can
be taken into account as one of the patches in the series shows but it
is still the case that filesystems with unusual handling of dirty or
writeback could still be treated better.
Tests like postmark, fsmark and largedd showed up nothing useful. On my test
setup, pages are simply not being written back from reclaim context with or
without the patches and there are no changes in performance. My test setup
probably is just not strong enough network-wise to be really interesting.
I ran a longer-lived memcached test with IO going to NFS instead of a local disk

1. Performance does not collapse due to IO which is good. IO is also completing
faster. Note with mmotm, IO completes in a third of the time and faster again
with this series applied
2. Swapping is reduced, although not eliminated. The figures for the follow-up
look bad but it does vary a bit as the stalling is not perfect for nfs
or filesystems like ext3 with unusual handling of dirty and writeback
pages
3. There are swapins, particularly with larger amounts of IO indicating
that active pages are being reclaimed. However, the number of much
reduced.

And as before, write wait times are much reduced.
This patch:
The patch "mm: vmscan: Have kswapd writeback pages based on dirty pages
encountered, not priority" decides whether to writeback pages from reclaim
context based on the number of dirty pages encountered. This situation is
flagged too easily and flushers are not given the chance to catch up
resulting in more pages being written from reclaim context and potentially
impacting IO performance. The check for PageWriteback is also misplaced
as it happens within a PageDirty check which is nonsense as the dirty may
have been cleared for IO. The accounting is updated very late and pages
that are already under writeback, were reactivated, could not unmapped or
could not be released are all missed. Similarly, a page is considered
congested for reasons other than being congested and pages that cannot be
written out in the correct context are skipped. Finally, it considers
stalling and writing back filesystem pages due to encountering dirty
anonymous pages at the tail of the LRU which is dumb.
This patch causes kswapd to begin writing filesystem pages from reclaim
context only if page reclaim found that all filesystem pages at the tail
of the LRU were unqueued dirty pages. Before it starts writing filesystem
pages, it will stall to give flushers a chance to catch up. The decision
on whether wait_iff_congested is also now determined by dirty filesystem
pages only. Congested pages are based on whether the underlying BDI is
congested regardless of the context of the reclaiming process.
