Multi-size THP enables performance improvements by allocating large,
pte-mapped folios for anonymous memory. However I've observed that on an
arm64 system running a parallel workload (e.g. kernel compilation)
across many cores, under high memory pressure, the speed regresses. This
is due to bottlenecking on the increased number of TLBIs added due to
all the extra folio splitting when the large folios are swapped out.

Therefore, solve this regression by adding support for swapping out mTHP
without needing to split the folio, just like is already done for
PMD-sized THP. This change only applies when CONFIG_THP_SWAP is enabled,
and when the swap backing store is a non-rotating block device. These
are the same constraints as for the existing PMD-sized THP swap-out
support.

Note that no attempt is made to swap-in (m)THP here - this is still done
page-by-page, like for PMD-sized THP. But swapping-out mTHP is a
prerequisite for swapping-in mTHP.

The main change here is to improve the swap entry allocator so that it
can allocate any power-of-2 number of contiguous entries between [1, (1
<< PMD_ORDER)]. This is done by allocating a cluster for each distinct
order and allocating sequentially from it until the cluster is full.
This ensures that we don't need to search the map and we get no
fragmentation due to alignment padding for different orders in the
cluster. If there is no current cluster for a given order, we attempt to
allocate a free cluster from the list. If there are no free clusters, we
fail the allocation and the caller can fall back to splitting the folio
and allocates individual entries (as per existing PMD-sized THP
fallback).

The per-order current clusters are maintained per-cpu using the existing
infrastructure. This is done to avoid interleving pages from different
tasks, which would prevent IO being batched. This is already done for
the order-0 allocations so we follow the same pattern.

As is done for order-0 per-cpu clusters, the scanner now can steal
order-0 entries from any per-cpu-per-order reserved cluster. This
ensures that when the swap file is getting full, space doesn't get tied
up in the per-cpu reserves.

This change only modifies swap to be able to accept any order mTHP. It
doesn't change the callers to elide doing the actual split. That will be
done in separate changes.

Hi Ryan,

Sorry for bringing up an old thread.

During the initial hour of utilizing an Android phone with 64KiB mTHP,
we noticed that the
anon_swpout_fallback rate was less than 10%. However, after several
hours of phone
usage, we observed a significant increase in the anon_swpout_fallback
rate, reaching
100%.

As I checked the code of scan_swap_map_try_ssd_cluster(),

static bool scan_swap_map_try_ssd_cluster(struct swap_info_struct *si,
        unsigned long *offset, unsigned long *scan_base, int order)
{
        unsigned int nr_pages = 1 << order;
        struct percpu_cluster *cluster;
        struct swap_cluster_info *ci;
        unsigned int tmp, max;

new_cluster:
        cluster = this_cpu_ptr(si->percpu_cluster);
        tmp = cluster->next[order];
        if (tmp == SWAP_NEXT_INVALID) {
                if (!cluster_list_empty(&si->free_clusters)) {
                        tmp = cluster_next(&si->free_clusters.head) *
                                        SWAPFILE_CLUSTER;
                } else if (!cluster_list_empty(&si->discard_clusters)) {
                        /*
                         * we don't have free cluster but have some clusters in

                         * reread cluster_next_cpu since we dropped si->lock
                         */
                        swap_do_scheduled_discard(si);
                        *scan_base = this_cpu_read(*si->cluster_next_cpu);
                        *offset = *scan_base;
                        goto new_cluster;
                } else
                        return false;
        }
...

}

Considering the cluster_list_empty() checks, is it necessary to have
free_cluster to
ensure a continuous allocation of swap slots for large folio swap out?
For instance,
if numerous clusters still possess ample free swap slots, could we
potentially miss
out on them due to a lack of execution of a slow scan?

I'm not saying your patchset has problems, just that I have some questions.

Thanks
Barry

No problem - thanks for the report!

I suspect this is due to fragmentation of the clusters; If there is just one
page left in a cluster then the cluster can't be freed and once the cluster free
list is empty a new cluster allcoation will fail and this will cause fallback to
order-0.

Yes, currently that is done by design; if we can't allocate a free cluster then
we only scan for free space in an already allocated cluster for order-0
allocations. I did this for a couple of reasons;

1: Simplicity.

2: Keep behavior the same as PMD-order allocations, which are never scanned
(although the cluster is the same size as the PMD so scanning would be pointless
there - so perhaps this is not a good argument for not scanning smaller high
orders).

3: If scanning for a high order fails then we would fall back to order-0 and
scan again, so I was trying to avoid the potential for 2 scans (although once
you split the page, you'll end up scanning per-page, so perhaps its not a real
argument either).

I think it would definitely be possible to add support for scanning high orders
and from memory, I don't think it would be too difficult. Based on your
experience, it sounds like this would be valuable.

I'm going to be out on Paternity leave for 3 weeks from end of today, so I won't
personally be able to do this until I get back. I might find some time to review
if you were to post something though :)

Let's call it "opportunity for further improvement" rather than problems. :)

I suspect swap-in of large folios may help reduce the fragmentation a bit since
we are less likely to keep parts of a previously swapped-out mTHP in swap.

Also, I understand that Chris Li has been doing some thinking around an
indirection layer which would remove the requirement for pages of a large folio
to be stored contiguously in the swap file. I think he is planning to talk about
that at LSFMM? (which I sadly won't be attending).

Thanks,
Ryan

Congratulations on the arrival of your precious little one! Forget
about the swap and
mTHP, enjoy your time with the family :-)
