License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

mm: compaction: add trace events for memory compaction activity In preparation for a patches promoting the use of memory compaction over lumpy reclaim, this patch adds trace points for memory compaction activity. Using them, we can monitor the scanning activity of the migration and free page scanners as well as the number and success rates of pages passed to page migration.

mm/compaction: do not count migratepages when unnecessary During compaction, update_nr_listpages() has been used to count remaining non-migrated and free pages after a call to migrage_pages(). The freepages counting has become unneccessary, and it turns out that migratepages counting is also unnecessary in most cases. The only situation when it's needed to count cc->migratepages is when migrate_pages() returns with a negative error code. Otherwise, the non-negative return value is the number of pages that were not migrated, which is exactly the count of remaining pages in the cc->migratepages list. Furthermore, any non-zero count is only interesting for the tracepoint of mm_compaction_migratepages events, because after that all remaining unmigrated pages are put back and their count is set to 0. This patch therefore removes update_nr_listpages() completely, and changes the tracepoint definition so that the manual counting is done only when the tracepoint is enabled, and only when migrate_pages() returns a negative error code. Furthermore, migrate_pages() and the tracepoints won't be called when there's nothing to migrate. This potentially avoids some wasted cycles and reduces the volume of uninteresting mm_compaction_migratepages events where "nr_migrated=0 nr_failed=0". In the stress-highalloc mmtest, this was about 75% of the events. The mm_compaction_isolate_migratepages event is better for determining that nothing was isolated for migration, and this one was just duplicating the info.

mm, tracing: unify mm flags handling in tracepoints and printk In tracepoints, it's possible to print gfp flags in a human-friendly format through a macro show_gfp_flags(), which defines a translation array and passes is to __print_flags(). Since the following patch will introduce support for gfp flags printing in printk(), it would be nice to reuse the array. This is not straightforward, since __print_flags() can't simply reference an array defined in a .c file such as mm/debug.c - it has to be a macro to allow the macro magic to communicate the format to userspace tools such as trace-cmd. The solution is to create a macro __def_gfpflag_names which is used both in show_gfp_flags(), and to define the gfpflag_names[] array in mm/debug.c. On the other hand, mm/debug.c also defines translation tables for page flags and vma flags, and desire was expressed (but not implemented in this series) to use these also from tracepoints. Thus, this patch also renames the events/gfpflags.h file to events/mmflags.h and moves the table definitions there, using the same macro approach as for gfpflags. This allows translating all three kinds of mm-specific flags both in tracepoints and printk.

mm, compaction: export tracepoints status strings to userspace Some compaction tracepoints convert the integer return values to strings using the compaction_status_string array. This works for in-kernel printing, but not userspace trace printing of raw captured trace such as via trace-cmd report.

mm, compaction: some tracepoints should be defined only when CONFIG_COMPACTION is set Only mm_compaction_isolate_{free, migrate}pages may be used when CONFIG_COMPACTION is not set. All others are used only when CONFIG_COMPACTION is set. After this change, if CONFIG_COMPACTION is not set, the tracepoints that only work when CONFIG_COMPACTION is set will not be exposed to userspace. Without this change, they will always be exposed in debugfs whether CONFIG_COMPACTION is set or not. This is an improvement.

mm/compaction: do not count migratepages when unnecessary During compaction, update_nr_listpages() has been used to count remaining non-migrated and free pages after a call to migrage_pages(). The freepages counting has become unneccessary, and it turns out that migratepages counting is also unnecessary in most cases. The only situation when it's needed to count cc->migratepages is when migrate_pages() returns with a negative error code. Otherwise, the non-negative return value is the number of pages that were not migrated, which is exactly the count of remaining pages in the cc->migratepages list. Furthermore, any non-zero count is only interesting for the tracepoint of mm_compaction_migratepages events, because after that all remaining unmigrated pages are put back and their count is set to 0. This patch therefore removes update_nr_listpages() completely, and changes the tracepoint definition so that the manual counting is done only when the tracepoint is enabled, and only when migrate_pages() returns a negative error code. Furthermore, migrate_pages() and the tracepoints won't be called when there's nothing to migrate. This potentially avoids some wasted cycles and reduces the volume of uninteresting mm_compaction_migratepages events where "nr_migrated=0 nr_failed=0". In the stress-highalloc mmtest, this was about 75% of the events. The mm_compaction_isolate_migratepages event is better for determining that nothing was isolated for migration, and this one was just duplicating the info.

mm: compaction: trace compaction begin and end The broad goal of the series is to improve allocation success rates for huge pages through memory compaction, while trying not to increase the compaction overhead. The original objective was to reintroduce capturing of high-order pages freed by the compaction, before they are split by concurrent activity. However, several bugs and opportunities for simple improvements were found in the current implementation, mostly through extra tracepoints (which are however too ugly for now to be considered for sending). The patches mostly deal with two mechanisms that reduce compaction overhead, which is caching the progress of migrate and free scanners, and marking pageblocks where isolation failed to be skipped during further scans. Patch 1 (from mgorman) adds tracepoints that allow calculate time spent in compaction and potentially debug scanner pfn values. Patch 2 encapsulates the some functionality for handling deferred compactions for better maintainability, without a functional change type is not determined without being actually needed. Patch 3 fixes a bug where cached scanner pfn's are sometimes reset only after they have been read to initialize a compaction run. Patch 4 fixes a bug where scanners meeting is sometimes not properly detected and can lead to multiple compaction attempts quitting early without doing any work. Patch 5 improves the chances of sync compaction to process pageblocks that async compaction has skipped due to being !MIGRATE_MOVABLE. Patch 6 improves the chances of sync direct compaction to actually do anything when called after async compaction fails during allocation slowpath. The impact of patches were validated using mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark with mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark on a x86_64 machine with 4GB memory. Due to instability of the results (mostly related to the bugs fixed by patches 2 and 3), 10 iterations were performed, taking min,mean,max values for success rates and mean values for time and vmstat-based metrics. First, the default GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations were tested with the patches stacked on top of v3.13-rc2. Patch 2 is OK to serve as baseline due to no functional changes in 1 and 2.

I used to get stable values around 85% with vanilla 3.11. The lower min and mean values came with 3.12. This was bisected to commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") As explained in comment for patch 3, I don't think the commit is wrong, but that it makes the effect of compaction bugs worse. From patch 3 onwards, the results are OK and match the 3.11 results. - Patch 4 also clearly helps phases 1 and 2, and exceeds any results I've seen with 3.11 (I didn't measure it that thoroughly then, but it was never above 40%). - Compaction cost and number of scanned pages is higher, especially due to patch 4. However, keep in mind that patches 3 and 4 fix existing bugs in the current design of compaction overhead mitigation, they do not change it. If overhead is found unacceptable, then it should be decreased differently (and consistently, not due to random conditions) than the current implementation does. In contrast, patches 5 and 6 (which are not strictly bug fixes) do not increase the overhead (but also not success rates). This might be a limitation of the stress-highalloc benchmark as it's quite uniform.

Still there is the improvement from patch 4 onwards, which brings it on par with simple GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations. - Compaction costs have increased, but nowhere near as much as the non-THP case. Again, the patches should be worth the gained determininsm. - Patches 5 and 6 somewhat increase the number of migrate-scanned pages. This is most likely due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag, which means the cached pfn's and pageblock skip bits are not reset by kswapd that often (at least in phase 3 where no concurrent activity would wake up kswapd) and the patches thus help the sync-after-async compaction. It doesn't however show that the sync compaction would help so much with success rates, which can be again seen as a limitation of the benchmark scenario. This patch (of 6): Add two tracepoints for compaction begin and end of a zone. Using this it is possible to calculate how much time a workload is spending within compaction and potentially debug problems related to cached pfns for scanning. In combination with the direct reclaim and slab trace points it should be possible to estimate most allocation-related overhead for a workload.

TRACE_EVENT(mm_compaction_begin,
mm/compaction: enhance tracepoint output for compaction begin/end We now have tracepoint for begin event of compaction and it prints start position of both scanners, but, tracepoint for end event of compaction doesn't print finish position of both scanners. It'd be also useful to know finish position of both scanners so this patch add it. It will help to find odd behavior or problem on compaction internal logic. And mode is added to both begin/end tracepoint output, since according to mode, compaction behavior is quite different. And lastly, status format is changed to string rather than status number for readability.

TP_PROTO(unsigned long zone_start, unsigned long migrate_pfn,
unsigned long free_pfn, unsigned long zone_end, bool sync),
mm: compaction: trace compaction begin and end The broad goal of the series is to improve allocation success rates for huge pages through memory compaction, while trying not to increase the compaction overhead. The original objective was to reintroduce capturing of high-order pages freed by the compaction, before they are split by concurrent activity. However, several bugs and opportunities for simple improvements were found in the current implementation, mostly through extra tracepoints (which are however too ugly for now to be considered for sending). The patches mostly deal with two mechanisms that reduce compaction overhead, which is caching the progress of migrate and free scanners, and marking pageblocks where isolation failed to be skipped during further scans. Patch 1 (from mgorman) adds tracepoints that allow calculate time spent in compaction and potentially debug scanner pfn values. Patch 2 encapsulates the some functionality for handling deferred compactions for better maintainability, without a functional change type is not determined without being actually needed. Patch 3 fixes a bug where cached scanner pfn's are sometimes reset only after they have been read to initialize a compaction run. Patch 4 fixes a bug where scanners meeting is sometimes not properly detected and can lead to multiple compaction attempts quitting early without doing any work. Patch 5 improves the chances of sync compaction to process pageblocks that async compaction has skipped due to being !MIGRATE_MOVABLE. Patch 6 improves the chances of sync direct compaction to actually do anything when called after async compaction fails during allocation slowpath. The impact of patches were validated using mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark with mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark on a x86_64 machine with 4GB memory. Due to instability of the results (mostly related to the bugs fixed by patches 2 and 3), 10 iterations were performed, taking min,mean,max values for success rates and mean values for time and vmstat-based metrics. First, the default GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations were tested with the patches stacked on top of v3.13-rc2. Patch 2 is OK to serve as baseline due to no functional changes in 1 and 2.

I used to get stable values around 85% with vanilla 3.11. The lower min and mean values came with 3.12. This was bisected to commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") As explained in comment for patch 3, I don't think the commit is wrong, but that it makes the effect of compaction bugs worse. From patch 3 onwards, the results are OK and match the 3.11 results. - Patch 4 also clearly helps phases 1 and 2, and exceeds any results I've seen with 3.11 (I didn't measure it that thoroughly then, but it was never above 40%). - Compaction cost and number of scanned pages is higher, especially due to patch 4. However, keep in mind that patches 3 and 4 fix existing bugs in the current design of compaction overhead mitigation, they do not change it. If overhead is found unacceptable, then it should be decreased differently (and consistently, not due to random conditions) than the current implementation does. In contrast, patches 5 and 6 (which are not strictly bug fixes) do not increase the overhead (but also not success rates). This might be a limitation of the stress-highalloc benchmark as it's quite uniform.

Still there is the improvement from patch 4 onwards, which brings it on par with simple GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations. - Compaction costs have increased, but nowhere near as much as the non-THP case. Again, the patches should be worth the gained determininsm. - Patches 5 and 6 somewhat increase the number of migrate-scanned pages. This is most likely due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag, which means the cached pfn's and pageblock skip bits are not reset by kswapd that often (at least in phase 3 where no concurrent activity would wake up kswapd) and the patches thus help the sync-after-async compaction. It doesn't however show that the sync compaction would help so much with success rates, which can be again seen as a limitation of the benchmark scenario. This patch (of 6): Add two tracepoints for compaction begin and end of a zone. Using this it is possible to calculate how much time a workload is spending within compaction and potentially debug problems related to cached pfns for scanning. In combination with the direct reclaim and slab trace points it should be possible to estimate most allocation-related overhead for a workload.

mm/compaction: enhance tracepoint output for compaction begin/end We now have tracepoint for begin event of compaction and it prints start position of both scanners, but, tracepoint for end event of compaction doesn't print finish position of both scanners. It'd be also useful to know finish position of both scanners so this patch add it. It will help to find odd behavior or problem on compaction internal logic. And mode is added to both begin/end tracepoint output, since according to mode, compaction behavior is quite different. And lastly, status format is changed to string rather than status number for readability.

TP_ARGS(zone_start, migrate_pfn, free_pfn, zone_end, sync),
mm: compaction: trace compaction begin and end The broad goal of the series is to improve allocation success rates for huge pages through memory compaction, while trying not to increase the compaction overhead. The original objective was to reintroduce capturing of high-order pages freed by the compaction, before they are split by concurrent activity. However, several bugs and opportunities for simple improvements were found in the current implementation, mostly through extra tracepoints (which are however too ugly for now to be considered for sending). The patches mostly deal with two mechanisms that reduce compaction overhead, which is caching the progress of migrate and free scanners, and marking pageblocks where isolation failed to be skipped during further scans. Patch 1 (from mgorman) adds tracepoints that allow calculate time spent in compaction and potentially debug scanner pfn values. Patch 2 encapsulates the some functionality for handling deferred compactions for better maintainability, without a functional change type is not determined without being actually needed. Patch 3 fixes a bug where cached scanner pfn's are sometimes reset only after they have been read to initialize a compaction run. Patch 4 fixes a bug where scanners meeting is sometimes not properly detected and can lead to multiple compaction attempts quitting early without doing any work. Patch 5 improves the chances of sync compaction to process pageblocks that async compaction has skipped due to being !MIGRATE_MOVABLE. Patch 6 improves the chances of sync direct compaction to actually do anything when called after async compaction fails during allocation slowpath. The impact of patches were validated using mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark with mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark on a x86_64 machine with 4GB memory. Due to instability of the results (mostly related to the bugs fixed by patches 2 and 3), 10 iterations were performed, taking min,mean,max values for success rates and mean values for time and vmstat-based metrics. First, the default GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations were tested with the patches stacked on top of v3.13-rc2. Patch 2 is OK to serve as baseline due to no functional changes in 1 and 2.

I used to get stable values around 85% with vanilla 3.11. The lower min and mean values came with 3.12. This was bisected to commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") As explained in comment for patch 3, I don't think the commit is wrong, but that it makes the effect of compaction bugs worse. From patch 3 onwards, the results are OK and match the 3.11 results. - Patch 4 also clearly helps phases 1 and 2, and exceeds any results I've seen with 3.11 (I didn't measure it that thoroughly then, but it was never above 40%). - Compaction cost and number of scanned pages is higher, especially due to patch 4. However, keep in mind that patches 3 and 4 fix existing bugs in the current design of compaction overhead mitigation, they do not change it. If overhead is found unacceptable, then it should be decreased differently (and consistently, not due to random conditions) than the current implementation does. In contrast, patches 5 and 6 (which are not strictly bug fixes) do not increase the overhead (but also not success rates). This might be a limitation of the stress-highalloc benchmark as it's quite uniform.

Still there is the improvement from patch 4 onwards, which brings it on par with simple GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations. - Compaction costs have increased, but nowhere near as much as the non-THP case. Again, the patches should be worth the gained determininsm. - Patches 5 and 6 somewhat increase the number of migrate-scanned pages. This is most likely due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag, which means the cached pfn's and pageblock skip bits are not reset by kswapd that often (at least in phase 3 where no concurrent activity would wake up kswapd) and the patches thus help the sync-after-async compaction. It doesn't however show that the sync compaction would help so much with success rates, which can be again seen as a limitation of the benchmark scenario. This patch (of 6): Add two tracepoints for compaction begin and end of a zone. Using this it is possible to calculate how much time a workload is spending within compaction and potentially debug problems related to cached pfns for scanning. In combination with the direct reclaim and slab trace points it should be possible to estimate most allocation-related overhead for a workload.

mm/compaction: enhance tracepoint output for compaction begin/end We now have tracepoint for begin event of compaction and it prints start position of both scanners, but, tracepoint for end event of compaction doesn't print finish position of both scanners. It'd be also useful to know finish position of both scanners so this patch add it. It will help to find odd behavior or problem on compaction internal logic. And mode is added to both begin/end tracepoint output, since according to mode, compaction behavior is quite different. And lastly, status format is changed to string rather than status number for readability.

mm: compaction: trace compaction begin and end The broad goal of the series is to improve allocation success rates for huge pages through memory compaction, while trying not to increase the compaction overhead. The original objective was to reintroduce capturing of high-order pages freed by the compaction, before they are split by concurrent activity. However, several bugs and opportunities for simple improvements were found in the current implementation, mostly through extra tracepoints (which are however too ugly for now to be considered for sending). The patches mostly deal with two mechanisms that reduce compaction overhead, which is caching the progress of migrate and free scanners, and marking pageblocks where isolation failed to be skipped during further scans. Patch 1 (from mgorman) adds tracepoints that allow calculate time spent in compaction and potentially debug scanner pfn values. Patch 2 encapsulates the some functionality for handling deferred compactions for better maintainability, without a functional change type is not determined without being actually needed. Patch 3 fixes a bug where cached scanner pfn's are sometimes reset only after they have been read to initialize a compaction run. Patch 4 fixes a bug where scanners meeting is sometimes not properly detected and can lead to multiple compaction attempts quitting early without doing any work. Patch 5 improves the chances of sync compaction to process pageblocks that async compaction has skipped due to being !MIGRATE_MOVABLE. Patch 6 improves the chances of sync direct compaction to actually do anything when called after async compaction fails during allocation slowpath. The impact of patches were validated using mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark with mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark on a x86_64 machine with 4GB memory. Due to instability of the results (mostly related to the bugs fixed by patches 2 and 3), 10 iterations were performed, taking min,mean,max values for success rates and mean values for time and vmstat-based metrics. First, the default GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations were tested with the patches stacked on top of v3.13-rc2. Patch 2 is OK to serve as baseline due to no functional changes in 1 and 2.

I used to get stable values around 85% with vanilla 3.11. The lower min and mean values came with 3.12. This was bisected to commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") As explained in comment for patch 3, I don't think the commit is wrong, but that it makes the effect of compaction bugs worse. From patch 3 onwards, the results are OK and match the 3.11 results. - Patch 4 also clearly helps phases 1 and 2, and exceeds any results I've seen with 3.11 (I didn't measure it that thoroughly then, but it was never above 40%). - Compaction cost and number of scanned pages is higher, especially due to patch 4. However, keep in mind that patches 3 and 4 fix existing bugs in the current design of compaction overhead mitigation, they do not change it. If overhead is found unacceptable, then it should be decreased differently (and consistently, not due to random conditions) than the current implementation does. In contrast, patches 5 and 6 (which are not strictly bug fixes) do not increase the overhead (but also not success rates). This might be a limitation of the stress-highalloc benchmark as it's quite uniform.

Still there is the improvement from patch 4 onwards, which brings it on par with simple GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations. - Compaction costs have increased, but nowhere near as much as the non-THP case. Again, the patches should be worth the gained determininsm. - Patches 5 and 6 somewhat increase the number of migrate-scanned pages. This is most likely due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag, which means the cached pfn's and pageblock skip bits are not reset by kswapd that often (at least in phase 3 where no concurrent activity would wake up kswapd) and the patches thus help the sync-after-async compaction. It doesn't however show that the sync compaction would help so much with success rates, which can be again seen as a limitation of the benchmark scenario. This patch (of 6): Add two tracepoints for compaction begin and end of a zone. Using this it is possible to calculate how much time a workload is spending within compaction and potentially debug problems related to cached pfns for scanning. In combination with the direct reclaim and slab trace points it should be possible to estimate most allocation-related overhead for a workload.

mm/compaction: enhance tracepoint output for compaction begin/end We now have tracepoint for begin event of compaction and it prints start position of both scanners, but, tracepoint for end event of compaction doesn't print finish position of both scanners. It'd be also useful to know finish position of both scanners so this patch add it. It will help to find odd behavior or problem on compaction internal logic. And mode is added to both begin/end tracepoint output, since according to mode, compaction behavior is quite different. And lastly, status format is changed to string rather than status number for readability.

mm: compaction: trace compaction begin and end The broad goal of the series is to improve allocation success rates for huge pages through memory compaction, while trying not to increase the compaction overhead. The original objective was to reintroduce capturing of high-order pages freed by the compaction, before they are split by concurrent activity. However, several bugs and opportunities for simple improvements were found in the current implementation, mostly through extra tracepoints (which are however too ugly for now to be considered for sending). The patches mostly deal with two mechanisms that reduce compaction overhead, which is caching the progress of migrate and free scanners, and marking pageblocks where isolation failed to be skipped during further scans. Patch 1 (from mgorman) adds tracepoints that allow calculate time spent in compaction and potentially debug scanner pfn values. Patch 2 encapsulates the some functionality for handling deferred compactions for better maintainability, without a functional change type is not determined without being actually needed. Patch 3 fixes a bug where cached scanner pfn's are sometimes reset only after they have been read to initialize a compaction run. Patch 4 fixes a bug where scanners meeting is sometimes not properly detected and can lead to multiple compaction attempts quitting early without doing any work. Patch 5 improves the chances of sync compaction to process pageblocks that async compaction has skipped due to being !MIGRATE_MOVABLE. Patch 6 improves the chances of sync direct compaction to actually do anything when called after async compaction fails during allocation slowpath. The impact of patches were validated using mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark with mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark on a x86_64 machine with 4GB memory. Due to instability of the results (mostly related to the bugs fixed by patches 2 and 3), 10 iterations were performed, taking min,mean,max values for success rates and mean values for time and vmstat-based metrics. First, the default GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations were tested with the patches stacked on top of v3.13-rc2. Patch 2 is OK to serve as baseline due to no functional changes in 1 and 2.

I used to get stable values around 85% with vanilla 3.11. The lower min and mean values came with 3.12. This was bisected to commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") As explained in comment for patch 3, I don't think the commit is wrong, but that it makes the effect of compaction bugs worse. From patch 3 onwards, the results are OK and match the 3.11 results. - Patch 4 also clearly helps phases 1 and 2, and exceeds any results I've seen with 3.11 (I didn't measure it that thoroughly then, but it was never above 40%). - Compaction cost and number of scanned pages is higher, especially due to patch 4. However, keep in mind that patches 3 and 4 fix existing bugs in the current design of compaction overhead mitigation, they do not change it. If overhead is found unacceptable, then it should be decreased differently (and consistently, not due to random conditions) than the current implementation does. In contrast, patches 5 and 6 (which are not strictly bug fixes) do not increase the overhead (but also not success rates). This might be a limitation of the stress-highalloc benchmark as it's quite uniform.

Still there is the improvement from patch 4 onwards, which brings it on par with simple GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations. - Compaction costs have increased, but nowhere near as much as the non-THP case. Again, the patches should be worth the gained determininsm. - Patches 5 and 6 somewhat increase the number of migrate-scanned pages. This is most likely due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag, which means the cached pfn's and pageblock skip bits are not reset by kswapd that often (at least in phase 3 where no concurrent activity would wake up kswapd) and the patches thus help the sync-after-async compaction. It doesn't however show that the sync compaction would help so much with success rates, which can be again seen as a limitation of the benchmark scenario. This patch (of 6): Add two tracepoints for compaction begin and end of a zone. Using this it is possible to calculate how much time a workload is spending within compaction and potentially debug problems related to cached pfns for scanning. In combination with the direct reclaim and slab trace points it should be possible to estimate most allocation-related overhead for a workload.

mm/compaction: enhance tracepoint output for compaction begin/end We now have tracepoint for begin event of compaction and it prints start position of both scanners, but, tracepoint for end event of compaction doesn't print finish position of both scanners. It'd be also useful to know finish position of both scanners so this patch add it. It will help to find odd behavior or problem on compaction internal logic. And mode is added to both begin/end tracepoint output, since according to mode, compaction behavior is quite different. And lastly, status format is changed to string rather than status number for readability.

mm: compaction: trace compaction begin and end The broad goal of the series is to improve allocation success rates for huge pages through memory compaction, while trying not to increase the compaction overhead. The original objective was to reintroduce capturing of high-order pages freed by the compaction, before they are split by concurrent activity. However, several bugs and opportunities for simple improvements were found in the current implementation, mostly through extra tracepoints (which are however too ugly for now to be considered for sending). The patches mostly deal with two mechanisms that reduce compaction overhead, which is caching the progress of migrate and free scanners, and marking pageblocks where isolation failed to be skipped during further scans. Patch 1 (from mgorman) adds tracepoints that allow calculate time spent in compaction and potentially debug scanner pfn values. Patch 2 encapsulates the some functionality for handling deferred compactions for better maintainability, without a functional change type is not determined without being actually needed. Patch 3 fixes a bug where cached scanner pfn's are sometimes reset only after they have been read to initialize a compaction run. Patch 4 fixes a bug where scanners meeting is sometimes not properly detected and can lead to multiple compaction attempts quitting early without doing any work. Patch 5 improves the chances of sync compaction to process pageblocks that async compaction has skipped due to being !MIGRATE_MOVABLE. Patch 6 improves the chances of sync direct compaction to actually do anything when called after async compaction fails during allocation slowpath. The impact of patches were validated using mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark with mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark on a x86_64 machine with 4GB memory. Due to instability of the results (mostly related to the bugs fixed by patches 2 and 3), 10 iterations were performed, taking min,mean,max values for success rates and mean values for time and vmstat-based metrics. First, the default GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations were tested with the patches stacked on top of v3.13-rc2. Patch 2 is OK to serve as baseline due to no functional changes in 1 and 2.

I used to get stable values around 85% with vanilla 3.11. The lower min and mean values came with 3.12. This was bisected to commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") As explained in comment for patch 3, I don't think the commit is wrong, but that it makes the effect of compaction bugs worse. From patch 3 onwards, the results are OK and match the 3.11 results. - Patch 4 also clearly helps phases 1 and 2, and exceeds any results I've seen with 3.11 (I didn't measure it that thoroughly then, but it was never above 40%). - Compaction cost and number of scanned pages is higher, especially due to patch 4. However, keep in mind that patches 3 and 4 fix existing bugs in the current design of compaction overhead mitigation, they do not change it. If overhead is found unacceptable, then it should be decreased differently (and consistently, not due to random conditions) than the current implementation does. In contrast, patches 5 and 6 (which are not strictly bug fixes) do not increase the overhead (but also not success rates). This might be a limitation of the stress-highalloc benchmark as it's quite uniform.

Still there is the improvement from patch 4 onwards, which brings it on par with simple GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations. - Compaction costs have increased, but nowhere near as much as the non-THP case. Again, the patches should be worth the gained determininsm. - Patches 5 and 6 somewhat increase the number of migrate-scanned pages. This is most likely due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag, which means the cached pfn's and pageblock skip bits are not reset by kswapd that often (at least in phase 3 where no concurrent activity would wake up kswapd) and the patches thus help the sync-after-async compaction. It doesn't however show that the sync compaction would help so much with success rates, which can be again seen as a limitation of the benchmark scenario. This patch (of 6): Add two tracepoints for compaction begin and end of a zone. Using this it is possible to calculate how much time a workload is spending within compaction and potentially debug problems related to cached pfns for scanning. In combination with the direct reclaim and slab trace points it should be possible to estimate most allocation-related overhead for a workload.

mm/compaction: enhance tracepoint output for compaction begin/end We now have tracepoint for begin event of compaction and it prints start position of both scanners, but, tracepoint for end event of compaction doesn't print finish position of both scanners. It'd be also useful to know finish position of both scanners so this patch add it. It will help to find odd behavior or problem on compaction internal logic. And mode is added to both begin/end tracepoint output, since according to mode, compaction behavior is quite different. And lastly, status format is changed to string rather than status number for readability.

mm: compaction: trace compaction begin and end The broad goal of the series is to improve allocation success rates for huge pages through memory compaction, while trying not to increase the compaction overhead. The original objective was to reintroduce capturing of high-order pages freed by the compaction, before they are split by concurrent activity. However, several bugs and opportunities for simple improvements were found in the current implementation, mostly through extra tracepoints (which are however too ugly for now to be considered for sending). The patches mostly deal with two mechanisms that reduce compaction overhead, which is caching the progress of migrate and free scanners, and marking pageblocks where isolation failed to be skipped during further scans. Patch 1 (from mgorman) adds tracepoints that allow calculate time spent in compaction and potentially debug scanner pfn values. Patch 2 encapsulates the some functionality for handling deferred compactions for better maintainability, without a functional change type is not determined without being actually needed. Patch 3 fixes a bug where cached scanner pfn's are sometimes reset only after they have been read to initialize a compaction run. Patch 4 fixes a bug where scanners meeting is sometimes not properly detected and can lead to multiple compaction attempts quitting early without doing any work. Patch 5 improves the chances of sync compaction to process pageblocks that async compaction has skipped due to being !MIGRATE_MOVABLE. Patch 6 improves the chances of sync direct compaction to actually do anything when called after async compaction fails during allocation slowpath. The impact of patches were validated using mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark with mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark on a x86_64 machine with 4GB memory. Due to instability of the results (mostly related to the bugs fixed by patches 2 and 3), 10 iterations were performed, taking min,mean,max values for success rates and mean values for time and vmstat-based metrics. First, the default GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations were tested with the patches stacked on top of v3.13-rc2. Patch 2 is OK to serve as baseline due to no functional changes in 1 and 2.

I used to get stable values around 85% with vanilla 3.11. The lower min and mean values came with 3.12. This was bisected to commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") As explained in comment for patch 3, I don't think the commit is wrong, but that it makes the effect of compaction bugs worse. From patch 3 onwards, the results are OK and match the 3.11 results. - Patch 4 also clearly helps phases 1 and 2, and exceeds any results I've seen with 3.11 (I didn't measure it that thoroughly then, but it was never above 40%). - Compaction cost and number of scanned pages is higher, especially due to patch 4. However, keep in mind that patches 3 and 4 fix existing bugs in the current design of compaction overhead mitigation, they do not change it. If overhead is found unacceptable, then it should be decreased differently (and consistently, not due to random conditions) than the current implementation does. In contrast, patches 5 and 6 (which are not strictly bug fixes) do not increase the overhead (but also not success rates). This might be a limitation of the stress-highalloc benchmark as it's quite uniform.

Still there is the improvement from patch 4 onwards, which brings it on par with simple GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations. - Compaction costs have increased, but nowhere near as much as the non-THP case. Again, the patches should be worth the gained determininsm. - Patches 5 and 6 somewhat increase the number of migrate-scanned pages. This is most likely due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag, which means the cached pfn's and pageblock skip bits are not reset by kswapd that often (at least in phase 3 where no concurrent activity would wake up kswapd) and the patches thus help the sync-after-async compaction. It doesn't however show that the sync compaction would help so much with success rates, which can be again seen as a limitation of the benchmark scenario. This patch (of 6): Add two tracepoints for compaction begin and end of a zone. Using this it is possible to calculate how much time a workload is spending within compaction and potentially debug problems related to cached pfns for scanning. In combination with the direct reclaim and slab trace points it should be possible to estimate most allocation-related overhead for a workload.

mm/compaction: enhance tracepoint output for compaction begin/end We now have tracepoint for begin event of compaction and it prints start position of both scanners, but, tracepoint for end event of compaction doesn't print finish position of both scanners. It'd be also useful to know finish position of both scanners so this patch add it. It will help to find odd behavior or problem on compaction internal logic. And mode is added to both begin/end tracepoint output, since according to mode, compaction behavior is quite different. And lastly, status format is changed to string rather than status number for readability.

mm: compaction: trace compaction begin and end The broad goal of the series is to improve allocation success rates for huge pages through memory compaction, while trying not to increase the compaction overhead. The original objective was to reintroduce capturing of high-order pages freed by the compaction, before they are split by concurrent activity. However, several bugs and opportunities for simple improvements were found in the current implementation, mostly through extra tracepoints (which are however too ugly for now to be considered for sending). The patches mostly deal with two mechanisms that reduce compaction overhead, which is caching the progress of migrate and free scanners, and marking pageblocks where isolation failed to be skipped during further scans. Patch 1 (from mgorman) adds tracepoints that allow calculate time spent in compaction and potentially debug scanner pfn values. Patch 2 encapsulates the some functionality for handling deferred compactions for better maintainability, without a functional change type is not determined without being actually needed. Patch 3 fixes a bug where cached scanner pfn's are sometimes reset only after they have been read to initialize a compaction run. Patch 4 fixes a bug where scanners meeting is sometimes not properly detected and can lead to multiple compaction attempts quitting early without doing any work. Patch 5 improves the chances of sync compaction to process pageblocks that async compaction has skipped due to being !MIGRATE_MOVABLE. Patch 6 improves the chances of sync direct compaction to actually do anything when called after async compaction fails during allocation slowpath. The impact of patches were validated using mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark with mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark on a x86_64 machine with 4GB memory. Due to instability of the results (mostly related to the bugs fixed by patches 2 and 3), 10 iterations were performed, taking min,mean,max values for success rates and mean values for time and vmstat-based metrics. First, the default GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations were tested with the patches stacked on top of v3.13-rc2. Patch 2 is OK to serve as baseline due to no functional changes in 1 and 2.

I used to get stable values around 85% with vanilla 3.11. The lower min and mean values came with 3.12. This was bisected to commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") As explained in comment for patch 3, I don't think the commit is wrong, but that it makes the effect of compaction bugs worse. From patch 3 onwards, the results are OK and match the 3.11 results. - Patch 4 also clearly helps phases 1 and 2, and exceeds any results I've seen with 3.11 (I didn't measure it that thoroughly then, but it was never above 40%). - Compaction cost and number of scanned pages is higher, especially due to patch 4. However, keep in mind that patches 3 and 4 fix existing bugs in the current design of compaction overhead mitigation, they do not change it. If overhead is found unacceptable, then it should be decreased differently (and consistently, not due to random conditions) than the current implementation does. In contrast, patches 5 and 6 (which are not strictly bug fixes) do not increase the overhead (but also not success rates). This might be a limitation of the stress-highalloc benchmark as it's quite uniform.

Still there is the improvement from patch 4 onwards, which brings it on par with simple GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations. - Compaction costs have increased, but nowhere near as much as the non-THP case. Again, the patches should be worth the gained determininsm. - Patches 5 and 6 somewhat increase the number of migrate-scanned pages. This is most likely due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag, which means the cached pfn's and pageblock skip bits are not reset by kswapd that often (at least in phase 3 where no concurrent activity would wake up kswapd) and the patches thus help the sync-after-async compaction. It doesn't however show that the sync compaction would help so much with success rates, which can be again seen as a limitation of the benchmark scenario. This patch (of 6): Add two tracepoints for compaction begin and end of a zone. Using this it is possible to calculate how much time a workload is spending within compaction and potentially debug problems related to cached pfns for scanning. In combination with the direct reclaim and slab trace points it should be possible to estimate most allocation-related overhead for a workload.

mm/compaction: enhance tracepoint output for compaction begin/end We now have tracepoint for begin event of compaction and it prints start position of both scanners, but, tracepoint for end event of compaction doesn't print finish position of both scanners. It'd be also useful to know finish position of both scanners so this patch add it. It will help to find odd behavior or problem on compaction internal logic. And mode is added to both begin/end tracepoint output, since according to mode, compaction behavior is quite different. And lastly, status format is changed to string rather than status number for readability.

mm: compaction: trace compaction begin and end The broad goal of the series is to improve allocation success rates for huge pages through memory compaction, while trying not to increase the compaction overhead. The original objective was to reintroduce capturing of high-order pages freed by the compaction, before they are split by concurrent activity. However, several bugs and opportunities for simple improvements were found in the current implementation, mostly through extra tracepoints (which are however too ugly for now to be considered for sending). The patches mostly deal with two mechanisms that reduce compaction overhead, which is caching the progress of migrate and free scanners, and marking pageblocks where isolation failed to be skipped during further scans. Patch 1 (from mgorman) adds tracepoints that allow calculate time spent in compaction and potentially debug scanner pfn values. Patch 2 encapsulates the some functionality for handling deferred compactions for better maintainability, without a functional change type is not determined without being actually needed. Patch 3 fixes a bug where cached scanner pfn's are sometimes reset only after they have been read to initialize a compaction run. Patch 4 fixes a bug where scanners meeting is sometimes not properly detected and can lead to multiple compaction attempts quitting early without doing any work. Patch 5 improves the chances of sync compaction to process pageblocks that async compaction has skipped due to being !MIGRATE_MOVABLE. Patch 6 improves the chances of sync direct compaction to actually do anything when called after async compaction fails during allocation slowpath. The impact of patches were validated using mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark with mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark on a x86_64 machine with 4GB memory. Due to instability of the results (mostly related to the bugs fixed by patches 2 and 3), 10 iterations were performed, taking min,mean,max values for success rates and mean values for time and vmstat-based metrics. First, the default GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations were tested with the patches stacked on top of v3.13-rc2. Patch 2 is OK to serve as baseline due to no functional changes in 1 and 2.

I used to get stable values around 85% with vanilla 3.11. The lower min and mean values came with 3.12. This was bisected to commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") As explained in comment for patch 3, I don't think the commit is wrong, but that it makes the effect of compaction bugs worse. From patch 3 onwards, the results are OK and match the 3.11 results. - Patch 4 also clearly helps phases 1 and 2, and exceeds any results I've seen with 3.11 (I didn't measure it that thoroughly then, but it was never above 40%). - Compaction cost and number of scanned pages is higher, especially due to patch 4. However, keep in mind that patches 3 and 4 fix existing bugs in the current design of compaction overhead mitigation, they do not change it. If overhead is found unacceptable, then it should be decreased differently (and consistently, not due to random conditions) than the current implementation does. In contrast, patches 5 and 6 (which are not strictly bug fixes) do not increase the overhead (but also not success rates). This might be a limitation of the stress-highalloc benchmark as it's quite uniform.

Still there is the improvement from patch 4 onwards, which brings it on par with simple GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations. - Compaction costs have increased, but nowhere near as much as the non-THP case. Again, the patches should be worth the gained determininsm. - Patches 5 and 6 somewhat increase the number of migrate-scanned pages. This is most likely due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag, which means the cached pfn's and pageblock skip bits are not reset by kswapd that often (at least in phase 3 where no concurrent activity would wake up kswapd) and the patches thus help the sync-after-async compaction. It doesn't however show that the sync compaction would help so much with success rates, which can be again seen as a limitation of the benchmark scenario. This patch (of 6): Add two tracepoints for compaction begin and end of a zone. Using this it is possible to calculate how much time a workload is spending within compaction and potentially debug problems related to cached pfns for scanning. In combination with the direct reclaim and slab trace points it should be possible to estimate most allocation-related overhead for a workload.

TRACE_EVENT(mm_compaction_end,
mm/compaction: enhance tracepoint output for compaction begin/end We now have tracepoint for begin event of compaction and it prints start position of both scanners, but, tracepoint for end event of compaction doesn't print finish position of both scanners. It'd be also useful to know finish position of both scanners so this patch add it. It will help to find odd behavior or problem on compaction internal logic. And mode is added to both begin/end tracepoint output, since according to mode, compaction behavior is quite different. And lastly, status format is changed to string rather than status number for readability.

mm: compaction: trace compaction begin and end The broad goal of the series is to improve allocation success rates for huge pages through memory compaction, while trying not to increase the compaction overhead. The original objective was to reintroduce capturing of high-order pages freed by the compaction, before they are split by concurrent activity. However, several bugs and opportunities for simple improvements were found in the current implementation, mostly through extra tracepoints (which are however too ugly for now to be considered for sending). The patches mostly deal with two mechanisms that reduce compaction overhead, which is caching the progress of migrate and free scanners, and marking pageblocks where isolation failed to be skipped during further scans. Patch 1 (from mgorman) adds tracepoints that allow calculate time spent in compaction and potentially debug scanner pfn values. Patch 2 encapsulates the some functionality for handling deferred compactions for better maintainability, without a functional change type is not determined without being actually needed. Patch 3 fixes a bug where cached scanner pfn's are sometimes reset only after they have been read to initialize a compaction run. Patch 4 fixes a bug where scanners meeting is sometimes not properly detected and can lead to multiple compaction attempts quitting early without doing any work. Patch 5 improves the chances of sync compaction to process pageblocks that async compaction has skipped due to being !MIGRATE_MOVABLE. Patch 6 improves the chances of sync direct compaction to actually do anything when called after async compaction fails during allocation slowpath. The impact of patches were validated using mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark with mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark on a x86_64 machine with 4GB memory. Due to instability of the results (mostly related to the bugs fixed by patches 2 and 3), 10 iterations were performed, taking min,mean,max values for success rates and mean values for time and vmstat-based metrics. First, the default GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations were tested with the patches stacked on top of v3.13-rc2. Patch 2 is OK to serve as baseline due to no functional changes in 1 and 2.

I used to get stable values around 85% with vanilla 3.11. The lower min and mean values came with 3.12. This was bisected to commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") As explained in comment for patch 3, I don't think the commit is wrong, but that it makes the effect of compaction bugs worse. From patch 3 onwards, the results are OK and match the 3.11 results. - Patch 4 also clearly helps phases 1 and 2, and exceeds any results I've seen with 3.11 (I didn't measure it that thoroughly then, but it was never above 40%). - Compaction cost and number of scanned pages is higher, especially due to patch 4. However, keep in mind that patches 3 and 4 fix existing bugs in the current design of compaction overhead mitigation, they do not change it. If overhead is found unacceptable, then it should be decreased differently (and consistently, not due to random conditions) than the current implementation does. In contrast, patches 5 and 6 (which are not strictly bug fixes) do not increase the overhead (but also not success rates). This might be a limitation of the stress-highalloc benchmark as it's quite uniform.

Still there is the improvement from patch 4 onwards, which brings it on par with simple GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations. - Compaction costs have increased, but nowhere near as much as the non-THP case. Again, the patches should be worth the gained determininsm. - Patches 5 and 6 somewhat increase the number of migrate-scanned pages. This is most likely due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag, which means the cached pfn's and pageblock skip bits are not reset by kswapd that often (at least in phase 3 where no concurrent activity would wake up kswapd) and the patches thus help the sync-after-async compaction. It doesn't however show that the sync compaction would help so much with success rates, which can be again seen as a limitation of the benchmark scenario. This patch (of 6): Add two tracepoints for compaction begin and end of a zone. Using this it is possible to calculate how much time a workload is spending within compaction and potentially debug problems related to cached pfns for scanning. In combination with the direct reclaim and slab trace points it should be possible to estimate most allocation-related overhead for a workload.

mm/compaction: enhance tracepoint output for compaction begin/end We now have tracepoint for begin event of compaction and it prints start position of both scanners, but, tracepoint for end event of compaction doesn't print finish position of both scanners. It'd be also useful to know finish position of both scanners so this patch add it. It will help to find odd behavior or problem on compaction internal logic. And mode is added to both begin/end tracepoint output, since according to mode, compaction behavior is quite different. And lastly, status format is changed to string rather than status number for readability.

TP_ARGS(zone_start, migrate_pfn, free_pfn, zone_end, sync, status),
mm: compaction: trace compaction begin and end The broad goal of the series is to improve allocation success rates for huge pages through memory compaction, while trying not to increase the compaction overhead. The original objective was to reintroduce capturing of high-order pages freed by the compaction, before they are split by concurrent activity. However, several bugs and opportunities for simple improvements were found in the current implementation, mostly through extra tracepoints (which are however too ugly for now to be considered for sending). The patches mostly deal with two mechanisms that reduce compaction overhead, which is caching the progress of migrate and free scanners, and marking pageblocks where isolation failed to be skipped during further scans. Patch 1 (from mgorman) adds tracepoints that allow calculate time spent in compaction and potentially debug scanner pfn values. Patch 2 encapsulates the some functionality for handling deferred compactions for better maintainability, without a functional change type is not determined without being actually needed. Patch 3 fixes a bug where cached scanner pfn's are sometimes reset only after they have been read to initialize a compaction run. Patch 4 fixes a bug where scanners meeting is sometimes not properly detected and can lead to multiple compaction attempts quitting early without doing any work. Patch 5 improves the chances of sync compaction to process pageblocks that async compaction has skipped due to being !MIGRATE_MOVABLE. Patch 6 improves the chances of sync direct compaction to actually do anything when called after async compaction fails during allocation slowpath. The impact of patches were validated using mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark with mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark on a x86_64 machine with 4GB memory. Due to instability of the results (mostly related to the bugs fixed by patches 2 and 3), 10 iterations were performed, taking min,mean,max values for success rates and mean values for time and vmstat-based metrics. First, the default GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations were tested with the patches stacked on top of v3.13-rc2. Patch 2 is OK to serve as baseline due to no functional changes in 1 and 2.

I used to get stable values around 85% with vanilla 3.11. The lower min and mean values came with 3.12. This was bisected to commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") As explained in comment for patch 3, I don't think the commit is wrong, but that it makes the effect of compaction bugs worse. From patch 3 onwards, the results are OK and match the 3.11 results. - Patch 4 also clearly helps phases 1 and 2, and exceeds any results I've seen with 3.11 (I didn't measure it that thoroughly then, but it was never above 40%). - Compaction cost and number of scanned pages is higher, especially due to patch 4. However, keep in mind that patches 3 and 4 fix existing bugs in the current design of compaction overhead mitigation, they do not change it. If overhead is found unacceptable, then it should be decreased differently (and consistently, not due to random conditions) than the current implementation does. In contrast, patches 5 and 6 (which are not strictly bug fixes) do not increase the overhead (but also not success rates). This might be a limitation of the stress-highalloc benchmark as it's quite uniform.

Still there is the improvement from patch 4 onwards, which brings it on par with simple GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations. - Compaction costs have increased, but nowhere near as much as the non-THP case. Again, the patches should be worth the gained determininsm. - Patches 5 and 6 somewhat increase the number of migrate-scanned pages. This is most likely due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag, which means the cached pfn's and pageblock skip bits are not reset by kswapd that often (at least in phase 3 where no concurrent activity would wake up kswapd) and the patches thus help the sync-after-async compaction. It doesn't however show that the sync compaction would help so much with success rates, which can be again seen as a limitation of the benchmark scenario. This patch (of 6): Add two tracepoints for compaction begin and end of a zone. Using this it is possible to calculate how much time a workload is spending within compaction and potentially debug problems related to cached pfns for scanning. In combination with the direct reclaim and slab trace points it should be possible to estimate most allocation-related overhead for a workload.

mm/compaction: enhance tracepoint output for compaction begin/end We now have tracepoint for begin event of compaction and it prints start position of both scanners, but, tracepoint for end event of compaction doesn't print finish position of both scanners. It'd be also useful to know finish position of both scanners so this patch add it. It will help to find odd behavior or problem on compaction internal logic. And mode is added to both begin/end tracepoint output, since according to mode, compaction behavior is quite different. And lastly, status format is changed to string rather than status number for readability.

mm: compaction: trace compaction begin and end The broad goal of the series is to improve allocation success rates for huge pages through memory compaction, while trying not to increase the compaction overhead. The original objective was to reintroduce capturing of high-order pages freed by the compaction, before they are split by concurrent activity. However, several bugs and opportunities for simple improvements were found in the current implementation, mostly through extra tracepoints (which are however too ugly for now to be considered for sending). The patches mostly deal with two mechanisms that reduce compaction overhead, which is caching the progress of migrate and free scanners, and marking pageblocks where isolation failed to be skipped during further scans. Patch 1 (from mgorman) adds tracepoints that allow calculate time spent in compaction and potentially debug scanner pfn values. Patch 2 encapsulates the some functionality for handling deferred compactions for better maintainability, without a functional change type is not determined without being actually needed. Patch 3 fixes a bug where cached scanner pfn's are sometimes reset only after they have been read to initialize a compaction run. Patch 4 fixes a bug where scanners meeting is sometimes not properly detected and can lead to multiple compaction attempts quitting early without doing any work. Patch 5 improves the chances of sync compaction to process pageblocks that async compaction has skipped due to being !MIGRATE_MOVABLE. Patch 6 improves the chances of sync direct compaction to actually do anything when called after async compaction fails during allocation slowpath. The impact of patches were validated using mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark with mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark on a x86_64 machine with 4GB memory. Due to instability of the results (mostly related to the bugs fixed by patches 2 and 3), 10 iterations were performed, taking min,mean,max values for success rates and mean values for time and vmstat-based metrics. First, the default GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations were tested with the patches stacked on top of v3.13-rc2. Patch 2 is OK to serve as baseline due to no functional changes in 1 and 2.

I used to get stable values around 85% with vanilla 3.11. The lower min and mean values came with 3.12. This was bisected to commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") As explained in comment for patch 3, I don't think the commit is wrong, but that it makes the effect of compaction bugs worse. From patch 3 onwards, the results are OK and match the 3.11 results. - Patch 4 also clearly helps phases 1 and 2, and exceeds any results I've seen with 3.11 (I didn't measure it that thoroughly then, but it was never above 40%). - Compaction cost and number of scanned pages is higher, especially due to patch 4. However, keep in mind that patches 3 and 4 fix existing bugs in the current design of compaction overhead mitigation, they do not change it. If overhead is found unacceptable, then it should be decreased differently (and consistently, not due to random conditions) than the current implementation does. In contrast, patches 5 and 6 (which are not strictly bug fixes) do not increase the overhead (but also not success rates). This might be a limitation of the stress-highalloc benchmark as it's quite uniform.

Still there is the improvement from patch 4 onwards, which brings it on par with simple GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations. - Compaction costs have increased, but nowhere near as much as the non-THP case. Again, the patches should be worth the gained determininsm. - Patches 5 and 6 somewhat increase the number of migrate-scanned pages. This is most likely due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag, which means the cached pfn's and pageblock skip bits are not reset by kswapd that often (at least in phase 3 where no concurrent activity would wake up kswapd) and the patches thus help the sync-after-async compaction. It doesn't however show that the sync compaction would help so much with success rates, which can be again seen as a limitation of the benchmark scenario. This patch (of 6): Add two tracepoints for compaction begin and end of a zone. Using this it is possible to calculate how much time a workload is spending within compaction and potentially debug problems related to cached pfns for scanning. In combination with the direct reclaim and slab trace points it should be possible to estimate most allocation-related overhead for a workload.

mm/compaction: enhance tracepoint output for compaction begin/end We now have tracepoint for begin event of compaction and it prints start position of both scanners, but, tracepoint for end event of compaction doesn't print finish position of both scanners. It'd be also useful to know finish position of both scanners so this patch add it. It will help to find odd behavior or problem on compaction internal logic. And mode is added to both begin/end tracepoint output, since according to mode, compaction behavior is quite different. And lastly, status format is changed to string rather than status number for readability.

mm: compaction: trace compaction begin and end The broad goal of the series is to improve allocation success rates for huge pages through memory compaction, while trying not to increase the compaction overhead. The original objective was to reintroduce capturing of high-order pages freed by the compaction, before they are split by concurrent activity. However, several bugs and opportunities for simple improvements were found in the current implementation, mostly through extra tracepoints (which are however too ugly for now to be considered for sending). The patches mostly deal with two mechanisms that reduce compaction overhead, which is caching the progress of migrate and free scanners, and marking pageblocks where isolation failed to be skipped during further scans. Patch 1 (from mgorman) adds tracepoints that allow calculate time spent in compaction and potentially debug scanner pfn values. Patch 2 encapsulates the some functionality for handling deferred compactions for better maintainability, without a functional change type is not determined without being actually needed. Patch 3 fixes a bug where cached scanner pfn's are sometimes reset only after they have been read to initialize a compaction run. Patch 4 fixes a bug where scanners meeting is sometimes not properly detected and can lead to multiple compaction attempts quitting early without doing any work. Patch 5 improves the chances of sync compaction to process pageblocks that async compaction has skipped due to being !MIGRATE_MOVABLE. Patch 6 improves the chances of sync direct compaction to actually do anything when called after async compaction fails during allocation slowpath. The impact of patches were validated using mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark with mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark on a x86_64 machine with 4GB memory. Due to instability of the results (mostly related to the bugs fixed by patches 2 and 3), 10 iterations were performed, taking min,mean,max values for success rates and mean values for time and vmstat-based metrics. First, the default GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations were tested with the patches stacked on top of v3.13-rc2. Patch 2 is OK to serve as baseline due to no functional changes in 1 and 2.

I used to get stable values around 85% with vanilla 3.11. The lower min and mean values came with 3.12. This was bisected to commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") As explained in comment for patch 3, I don't think the commit is wrong, but that it makes the effect of compaction bugs worse. From patch 3 onwards, the results are OK and match the 3.11 results. - Patch 4 also clearly helps phases 1 and 2, and exceeds any results I've seen with 3.11 (I didn't measure it that thoroughly then, but it was never above 40%). - Compaction cost and number of scanned pages is higher, especially due to patch 4. However, keep in mind that patches 3 and 4 fix existing bugs in the current design of compaction overhead mitigation, they do not change it. If overhead is found unacceptable, then it should be decreased differently (and consistently, not due to random conditions) than the current implementation does. In contrast, patches 5 and 6 (which are not strictly bug fixes) do not increase the overhead (but also not success rates). This might be a limitation of the stress-highalloc benchmark as it's quite uniform.

Still there is the improvement from patch 4 onwards, which brings it on par with simple GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations. - Compaction costs have increased, but nowhere near as much as the non-THP case. Again, the patches should be worth the gained determininsm. - Patches 5 and 6 somewhat increase the number of migrate-scanned pages. This is most likely due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag, which means the cached pfn's and pageblock skip bits are not reset by kswapd that often (at least in phase 3 where no concurrent activity would wake up kswapd) and the patches thus help the sync-after-async compaction. It doesn't however show that the sync compaction would help so much with success rates, which can be again seen as a limitation of the benchmark scenario. This patch (of 6): Add two tracepoints for compaction begin and end of a zone. Using this it is possible to calculate how much time a workload is spending within compaction and potentially debug problems related to cached pfns for scanning. In combination with the direct reclaim and slab trace points it should be possible to estimate most allocation-related overhead for a workload.

mm/compaction: enhance tracepoint output for compaction begin/end We now have tracepoint for begin event of compaction and it prints start position of both scanners, but, tracepoint for end event of compaction doesn't print finish position of both scanners. It'd be also useful to know finish position of both scanners so this patch add it. It will help to find odd behavior or problem on compaction internal logic. And mode is added to both begin/end tracepoint output, since according to mode, compaction behavior is quite different. And lastly, status format is changed to string rather than status number for readability.

__print_symbolic(__entry->status, COMPACTION_STATUS))
mm: compaction: trace compaction begin and end The broad goal of the series is to improve allocation success rates for huge pages through memory compaction, while trying not to increase the compaction overhead. The original objective was to reintroduce capturing of high-order pages freed by the compaction, before they are split by concurrent activity. However, several bugs and opportunities for simple improvements were found in the current implementation, mostly through extra tracepoints (which are however too ugly for now to be considered for sending). The patches mostly deal with two mechanisms that reduce compaction overhead, which is caching the progress of migrate and free scanners, and marking pageblocks where isolation failed to be skipped during further scans. Patch 1 (from mgorman) adds tracepoints that allow calculate time spent in compaction and potentially debug scanner pfn values. Patch 2 encapsulates the some functionality for handling deferred compactions for better maintainability, without a functional change type is not determined without being actually needed. Patch 3 fixes a bug where cached scanner pfn's are sometimes reset only after they have been read to initialize a compaction run. Patch 4 fixes a bug where scanners meeting is sometimes not properly detected and can lead to multiple compaction attempts quitting early without doing any work. Patch 5 improves the chances of sync compaction to process pageblocks that async compaction has skipped due to being !MIGRATE_MOVABLE. Patch 6 improves the chances of sync direct compaction to actually do anything when called after async compaction fails during allocation slowpath. The impact of patches were validated using mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark with mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark on a x86_64 machine with 4GB memory. Due to instability of the results (mostly related to the bugs fixed by patches 2 and 3), 10 iterations were performed, taking min,mean,max values for success rates and mean values for time and vmstat-based metrics. First, the default GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations were tested with the patches stacked on top of v3.13-rc2. Patch 2 is OK to serve as baseline due to no functional changes in 1 and 2.

I used to get stable values around 85% with vanilla 3.11. The lower min and mean values came with 3.12. This was bisected to commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") As explained in comment for patch 3, I don't think the commit is wrong, but that it makes the effect of compaction bugs worse. From patch 3 onwards, the results are OK and match the 3.11 results. - Patch 4 also clearly helps phases 1 and 2, and exceeds any results I've seen with 3.11 (I didn't measure it that thoroughly then, but it was never above 40%). - Compaction cost and number of scanned pages is higher, especially due to patch 4. However, keep in mind that patches 3 and 4 fix existing bugs in the current design of compaction overhead mitigation, they do not change it. If overhead is found unacceptable, then it should be decreased differently (and consistently, not due to random conditions) than the current implementation does.

Still there is the improvement from patch 4 onwards, which brings it on par with simple GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations. - Compaction costs have increased, but nowhere near as much as the non-THP case. Again, the patches should be worth the gained determininsm. - Patches 5 and 6 somewhat increase the number of migrate-scanned pages. This is most likely due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag, which means the cached pfn's and pageblock skip bits are not reset by kswapd that often (at least in phase 3 where no concurrent activity would wake up kswapd) and the patches thus help the sync-after-async compaction. It doesn't however show that the sync compaction would help so much with success rates, which can be again seen as a limitation of the benchmark scenario. This patch (of 6): Add two tracepoints for compaction begin and end of a zone. Using this it is possible to calculate how much time a workload is spending within compaction and potentially debug problems related to cached pfns for scanning. In combination with the direct reclaim and slab trace points it should be possible to estimate most allocation-related overhead for a workload.

mm: compaction: add trace events for memory compaction activity In preparation for a patches promoting the use of memory compaction over lumpy reclaim, this patch adds trace points for memory compaction activity. Using them, we can monitor the scanning activity of the migration and free page scanners as well as the number and success rates of pages passed to page migration.

mm, compaction: introduce kcompactd Memory compaction can be currently performed in several contexts: - kswapd balancing a zone after a high-order allocation failure - direct compaction to satisfy a high-order allocation, including THP page fault attemps - khugepaged trying to collapse a hugepage - manually from /proc The purpose of compaction is two-fold. The obvious purpose is to satisfy a (pending or future) high-order allocation, and is easy to evaluate. The other purpose is to keep overal memory fragmentation low and help the anti-fragmentation mechanism. The success wrt the latter purpose is more The current situation wrt the purposes has a few drawbacks: - compaction is invoked only when a high-order page or hugepage is not available (or manually). This might be too late for the purposes of keeping memory fragmentation low. - direct compaction increases latency of allocations. Again, it would be better if compaction was performed asynchronously to keep fragmentation low, before the allocation itself comes. - (a special case of the previous) the cost of compaction during THP page faults can easily offset the benefits of THP. - kswapd compaction appears to be complex, fragile and not working in some scenarios. It could also end up compacting for a high-order allocation request when it should be reclaiming memory for a later order-0 request. To improve the situation, we should be able to benefit from an equivalent of kswapd, but for compaction - i.e. a background thread which responds to fragmentation and the need for high-order allocations (including hugepages) somewhat proactively. One possibility is to extend the responsibilities of kswapd, which could however complicate its design too much. It should be better to let kswapd handle reclaim, as order-0 allocations are often more critical than high-order ones. Another possibility is to extend khugepaged, but this kthread is a single instance and tied to THP configs. This patch goes with the option of a new set of per-node kthreads called kcompactd, and lays the foundations, without introducing any new tunables. The lifecycle mimics kswapd kthreads, including the memory hotplug hooks. For compaction, kcompactd uses the standard compaction_suitable() and ompact_finished() criteria and the deferred compaction functionality. Unlike direct compaction, it uses only sync compaction, as there's no allocation latency to minimize. This patch doesn't yet add a call to wakeup_kcompactd. The kswapd compact/reclaim loop for high-order pages will be replaced by waking up kcompactd in the next patch with the description of what's wrong with the old approach. Waking up of the kcompactd threads is also tied to kswapd activity and follows these rules: - we don't want to affect any fastpaths, so wake up kcompactd only from the slowpath, as it's done for kswapd - if kswapd is doing reclaim, it's more important than compaction, so don't invoke kcompactd until kswapd goes to sleep - the target order used for kswapd is passed to kcompactd Future possible future uses for kcompactd include the ability to wake up kcompactd on demand in special situations, such as when hugepages are not available (currently not done due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD) or when a fragmentation event (i.e. __rmqueue_fallback()) occurs. It's also possible to perform periodic compaction with kcompactd.

Another possibility is to extend khugepaged, but this kthread is a single instance and tied to THP configs. This patch goes with the option of a new set of per-node kthreads called kcompactd, and lays the foundations, without introducing any new tunables. The lifecycle mimics kswapd kthreads, including the memory hotplug hooks. For compaction, kcompactd uses the standard compaction_suitable() and ompact_finished() criteria and the deferred compaction functionality. Unlike direct compaction, it uses only sync compaction, as there's no allocation latency to minimize. This patch doesn't yet add a call to wakeup_kcompactd. The kswapd compact/reclaim loop for high-order pages will be replaced by waking up kcompactd in the next patch with the description of what's wrong with the old approach. Waking up of the kcompactd threads is also tied to kswapd activity and follows these rules: - we don't want to affect any fastpaths, so wake up kcompactd only from the slowpath, as it's done for kswapd - if kswapd is doing reclaim, it's more important than compaction, so don't invoke kcompactd until kswapd goes to sleep - the target order used for kswapd is passed to kcompactd Future possible future uses for kcompactd include the ability to wake up kcompactd on demand in special situations, such as when hugepages are not available (currently not done due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD) or when a fragmentation event (i.e. __rmqueue_fallback()) occurs. It's also possible to perform periodic compaction with kcompactd.

mm, compaction: introduce kcompactd Memory compaction can be currently performed in several contexts: - kswapd balancing a zone after a high-order allocation failure - direct compaction to satisfy a high-order allocation, including THP page fault attemps - khugepaged trying to collapse a hugepage - manually from /proc The purpose of compaction is two-fold. The obvious purpose is to satisfy a (pending or future) high-order allocation, and is easy to evaluate. The other purpose is to keep overal memory fragmentation low and help the anti-fragmentation mechanism. The success wrt the latter purpose is more The current situation wrt the purposes has a few drawbacks: - compaction is invoked only when a high-order page or hugepage is not available (or manually). This might be too late for the purposes of keeping memory fragmentation low. - direct compaction increases latency of allocations. Again, it would be better if compaction was performed asynchronously to keep fragmentation low, before the allocation itself comes. - (a special case of the previous) the cost of compaction during THP page faults can easily offset the benefits of THP. - kswapd compaction appears to be complex, fragile and not working in some scenarios. It could also end up compacting for a high-order allocation request when it should be reclaiming memory for a later order-0 request. To improve the situation, we should be able to benefit from an equivalent of kswapd, but for compaction - i.e. a background thread which responds to fragmentation and the need for high-order allocations (including hugepages) somewhat proactively.

TP_ARGS(nid, order, highest_zoneidx)
mm, compaction: introduce kcompactd Memory compaction can be currently performed in several contexts: - kswapd balancing a zone after a high-order allocation failure - direct compaction to satisfy a high-order allocation, including THP page fault attemps - khugepaged trying to collapse a hugepage - manually from /proc The purpose of compaction is two-fold. The obvious purpose is to satisfy a (pending or future) high-order allocation, and is easy to evaluate. The other purpose is to keep overal memory fragmentation low and help the anti-fragmentation mechanism. The success wrt the latter purpose is more The current situation wrt the purposes has a few drawbacks: - compaction is invoked only when a high-order page or hugepage is not available (or manually). This might be too late for the purposes of keeping memory fragmentation low. - direct compaction increases latency of allocations. Again, it would be better if compaction was performed asynchronously to keep fragmentation low, before the allocation itself comes. - (a special case of the previous) the cost of compaction during THP page faults can easily offset the benefits of THP. - kswapd compaction appears to be complex, fragile and not working in some scenarios. It could also end up compacting for a high-order allocation request when it should be reclaiming memory for a later order-0 request. To improve the situation, we should be able to benefit from an equivalent of kswapd, but for compaction - i.e. a background thread which responds to fragmentation and the need for high-order allocations (including hugepages) somewhat proactively. One possibility is to extend the responsibilities of kswapd, which could however complicate its design too much. It should be better to let kswapd handle reclaim, as order-0 allocations are often more critical than high-order ones. Another possibility is to extend khugepaged, but this kthread is a single instance and tied to THP configs. This patch goes with the option of a new set of per-node kthreads called kcompactd, and lays the foundations, without introducing any new tunables. The lifecycle mimics kswapd kthreads, including the memory hotplug hooks. For compaction, kcompactd uses the standard compaction_suitable() and ompact_finished() criteria and the deferred compaction functionality. Unlike direct compaction, it uses only sync compaction, as there's no allocation latency to minimize. This patch doesn't yet add a call to wakeup_kcompactd. The kswapd compact/reclaim loop for high-order pages will be replaced by waking up kcompactd in the next patch with the description of what's wrong with the old approach. Waking up of the kcompactd threads is also tied to kswapd activity and follows these rules: - we don't want to affect any fastpaths, so wake up kcompactd only from the slowpath, as it's done for kswapd - if kswapd is doing reclaim, it's more important than compaction, so don't invoke kcompactd until kswapd goes to sleep - the target order used for kswapd is passed to kcompactd Future possible future uses for kcompactd include the ability to wake up kcompactd on demand in special situations, such as when hugepages are not available (currently not done due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD) or when a fragmentation event (i.e. __rmqueue_fallback()) occurs. It's also possible to perform periodic compaction with kcompactd.

All others are used only when CONFIG_COMPACTION is set. After this change, if CONFIG_COMPACTION is not set, the tracepoints that only work when CONFIG_COMPACTION is set will not be exposed to userspace. Without this change, they will always be exposed in debugfs whether CONFIG_COMPACTION is set or not. This is an improvement.
