Yang Shi writes:
Currently, when truncating a shmem file, if the range is partly in a THP
(start or end is in the middle of THP), the pages actually will just get
cleared rather than being freed, unless the range covers the whole THP.
Even though all the subpages are truncated (randomly or sequentially), the
THP may still be kept in page cache.
This might be fine for some usecases which prefer preserving THP, but
balloon inflation is handled in base page size. So when using shmem THP
as memory backend, QEMU inflation actually doesn't work as expected since
it doesn't free memory. But the inflation usecase really needs to get the
memory freed. (Anonymous THP will also not get freed right away, but will
be freed eventually when all subpages are unmapped: whereas shmem THP
still stays in page cache.)
Split THP right away when doing partial hole punch, and if split fails
just clear the page so that read of the punched area will return zeroes.
Hugh Dickins adds:
Our earlier "team of pages" huge tmpfs implementation worked in the way
that Yang Shi proposes; and we have been using this patch to continue to
split the huge page when hole-punched or truncated, since converting over
to the compound page implementation. Although huge tmpfs gives out huge
pages when available, if the user specifically asks to truncate or punch a
hole (perhaps to free memory, perhaps to reduce the memcg charge), then
the filesystem should do so as best it can, splitting the huge page.
That is not always possible: any additional reference to the huge page
prevents split_huge_page() from succeeding, so the result can be flaky.
But in practice it works successfully enough that we've not seen any
problem from that.
Add shmem_punch_compound() to encapsulate the decision of when a split is
needed, and doing the split if so. Using this simplifies the flow in
shmem_undo_range(); and the first (trylock) pass does not need to do any
page clearing on failure, because the second pass will either succeed or
do that clearing. Following the example of zero_user_segment() when
clearing a partial page, add flush_dcache_page() and set_page_dirty() when
clearing a hole - though I'm not certain that either is needed.
But: split_huge_page() would be sure to fail if shmem_undo_range()'s
pagevec holds further references to the huge page. The easiest way to fix
that is for find_get_entries() to return early, as soon as it has put one
compound head or tail into the pagevec. At first this felt like a hack;
but on examination, this convention better suits all its callers - or will
do, if the slight one-page-per-pagevec slowdown in shmem_unlock_mapping()
and shmem_seek_hole_data() is transformed into a 512-page-per-pagevec
speedup by checking for compound pages there.

Some comments for MADV_FREE is revised and added to help people understand
the MADV_FREE code, especially the page flag, PG_swapbacked. This makes
page_is_file_cache() isn't consistent with its comments. So the function
is renamed to page_is_file_lru() to make them consistent again. All these
are put in one patch as one logical change.

Memory barrier is needed after setting LRU bit, but smp_mb() is too
strong. Some architectures, i.e. x86, imply memory barrier with atomic
operations, so replacing it with smp_mb__after_atomic() sounds better,
which is nop on strong ordered machines, and full memory barriers on
others. With this change the vm-scalability cases would perform better on
x86, I saw total 6% improvement with this patch and previous inline fix.

An upcoming patch changes and complicates the refcounting and especially
the "put page" aspects of it. In order to keep everything clean,
refactor the devmap page release routines:
* Rename put_devmap_managed_page() to page_is_devmap_managed(), and
limit the functionality to "read only": return a bool, with no side
effects.
* Add a new routine, put_devmap_managed_page(), to handle decrementing
the refcount for ZONE_DEVICE pages.
* Change callers (just release_pages() and put_page()) to check
page_is_devmap_managed() before calling the new
put_devmap_managed_page() routine. This is a performance point:
put_page() is a hot path, so we need to avoid non- inline function calls
where possible.
* Rename __put_devmap_managed_page() to free_devmap_managed_page(), and
limit the functionality to unconditionally freeing a devmap page.
This is originally based on a separate patch by Ira Weiny, which applied
to an early version of the put_user_page() experiments. Since then,
Jérôme Glisse suggested the refactoring described above.

This is a very slow operation. Right now POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED is the top
user because it has to freeze page references when removing it from the
cache. invalidate_bdev() calls it for the same reason. Both are
triggered from userspace, so it's easy to generate a storm.
mlock/mlockall no longer calls lru_add_drain_all - I've seen here
serious slowdown on older kernels.
There are some less obvious paths in memory migration/CMA/offlining
which shouldn't call frequently.
The worst case requires a non-trivial workload because
lru_add_drain_all() skips cpus where vectors are empty. Something must
constantly generate a flow of pages for each cpu. Also cpus must be
busy to make scheduling per-cpu works slower. And the machine must be
big enough (64+ cpus in our case).
In our case that was a massive series of mlock calls in map-reduce while
other tasks write logs (and generates flows of new pages in per-cpu
vectors). Mlock calls were serialized by mutex and accumulated latency
up to 10 seconds or more.
The kernel does not call lru_add_drain_all on mlock paths since 4.15,
but the same scenario could be triggered by fadvise(POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED)
or any other remaining user.
There is no reason to do the drain again if somebody else already
drained all the per-cpu vectors while we waited for the lock.
Piggyback on a drain starting and finishing while we wait for the lock:
all pages pending at the time of our entry were drained from the
vectors.
Callers like POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED retry their operations once after
draining per-cpu vectors when pages have unexpected references.

Patch series "Introduce MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT", v7.
- Background
The Android terminology used for forking a new process and starting an app
from scratch is a cold start, while resuming an existing app is a hot
start. While we continually try to improve the performance of cold
starts, hot starts will always be significantly less power hungry as well
as faster so we are trying to make hot start more likely than cold start.
To increase hot start, Android userspace manages the order that apps
should be killed in a process called ActivityManagerService.
ActivityManagerService tracks every Android app or service that the user
could be interacting with at any time and translates that into a ranked
list for lmkd(low memory killer daemon). They are likely to be killed by
lmkd if the system has to reclaim memory. In that sense they are similar
to entries in any other cache. Those apps are kept alive for
opportunistic performance improvements but those performance improvements
will vary based on the memory requirements of individual workloads.
- Problem
Naturally, cached apps were dominant consumers of memory on the system.
However, they were not significant consumers of swap even though they are
good candidate for swap. Under investigation, swapping out only begins
once the low zone watermark is hit and kswapd wakes up, but the overall
allocation rate in the system might trip lmkd thresholds and cause a
cached process to be killed(we measured performance swapping out vs.
zapping the memory by killing a process. Unsurprisingly, zapping is 10x
times faster even though we use zram which is much faster than real
storage) so kill from lmkd will often satisfy the high zone watermark,
resulting in very few pages actually being moved to swap.
- Approach
The approach we chose was to use a new interface to allow userspace to
proactively reclaim entire processes by leveraging platform information.
This allowed us to bypass the inaccuracy of the kernel’s LRUs for pages
that are known to be cold from userspace and to avoid races with lmkd by
reclaiming apps as soon as they entered the cached state. Additionally,
it could provide many chances for platform to use much information to
optimize memory efficiency.
To achieve the goal, the patchset introduce two new options for madvise.
One is MADV_COLD which will deactivate activated pages and the other is
MADV_PAGEOUT which will reclaim private pages instantly. These new
options complement MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE by adding non-destructive
ways to gain some free memory space. MADV_PAGEOUT is similar to
MADV_DONTNEED in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not
currently needed and should be reclaimed immediately; MADV_COLD is similar
to MADV_FREE in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not
currently needed and should be reclaimed when memory pressure rises.
This patch (of 5):
When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range, it could
give a hint to kernel that the pages can be reclaimed when memory pressure
happens but data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce
workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance.
This patch introduces the new MADV_COLD hint to madvise(2) syscall.
MADV_COLD can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected
to be used in the near future. The hint can help kernel in deciding which
pages to evict early during memory pressure.
It works for every LRU pages like MADV_[DONTNEED|FREE]. IOW, It moves
active file page -> inactive file LRU
active anon page -> inacdtive anon LRU
Unlike MADV_FREE, it doesn't move active anonymous pages to inactive file
LRU's head because MADV_COLD is a little bit different symantic.
MADV_FREE means it's okay to discard when the memory pressure because the
content of the page is *garbage* so freeing such pages is almost zero
overhead since we don't need to swap out and access afterward causes just
minor fault. Thus, it would make sense to put those freeable pages in
inactive file LRU to compete other used-once pages. It makes sense for
implmentaion point of view, too because it's not swapbacked memory any
longer until it would be re-dirtied. Even, it could give a bonus to make
them be reclaimed on swapless system. However, MADV_COLD doesn't mean
garbage so reclaiming them requires swap-out/in in the end so it's bigger
cost. Since we have designed VM LRU aging based on cost-model, anonymous
cold pages would be better to position inactive anon's LRU list, not file
LRU. Furthermore, it would help to avoid unnecessary scanning if system
doesn't have a swap device. Let's start simpler way without adding
complexity at this moment. However, keep in mind, too that it's a caveat
that workloads with a lot of pages cache are likely to ignore MADV_COLD on
anonymous memory because we rarely age anonymous LRU lists.
* man-page material
MADV_COLD (since Linux x.x)
Pages in the specified regions will be treated as less-recently-accessed
compared to pages in the system with similar access frequencies. In
contrast to MADV_FREE, the contents of the region are preserved regardless
of subsequent writes to pages.
MADV_COLD cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP
pages.

A later patch makes THP deferred split shrinker memcg aware, but it needs
page->mem_cgroup information in THP destructor, which is called after
mem_cgroup_uncharge() now.
So move mem_cgroup_uncharge() from __page_cache_release() to compound page
destructor, which is called by both THP and other compound pages except
HugeTLB. And call it in __put_single_page() for single order page.

release_pages() is an optimized version of a loop around put_page().
Unfortunately for devmap pages the logic is not entirely correct in
release_pages(). This is because device pages can be more than type
MEMORY_DEVICE_PUBLIC. There are in fact 4 types, private, public, FS DAX,
and PCI P2PDMA. Some of these have specific needs to "put" the page while
others do not.
This logic to handle any special needs is contained in
put_devmap_managed_page(). Therefore all devmap pages should be processed
by this function where we can contain the correct logic for a page put.
Handle all device type pages within release_pages() by calling
put_devmap_managed_page() on all devmap pages. If
put_devmap_managed_page() returns true the page has been put and we
continue with the next page. A false return of put_devmap_managed_page()
means the page did not require special processing and should fall to
"normal" processing.
This was found via code inspection while determining if release_pages()
and the new put_user_pages() could be interchangeable.[1]

We have common pattern to access lru_lock from a page pointer:
zone_lru_lock(page_zone(page))
Which is silly, because it unfolds to this:
&NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->node_zones[page_zonenum(page)]->zone_pgdat->lru_lock
while we can simply do
&NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->lru_lock
Remove zone_lru_lock() function, since it's only complicate things. Use
'page_pgdat(page)->lru_lock' pattern instead.

Since for_each_cpu(cpu, mask) added by commit 2d3854a37e8b767a
("cpumask: introduce new API, without changing anything") did not
evaluate the mask argument if NR_CPUS == 1 due to CONFIG_SMP=n,
lru_add_drain_all() is hitting WARN_ON() at __flush_work() added by
commit 4d43d395fed12463 ("workqueue: Try to catch flush_work() without
INIT_WORK().") by unconditionally calling flush_work() [1].
Workaround this issue by using CONFIG_SMP=n specific lru_add_drain_all
implementation. There is no real need to defer the implementation to
the workqueue as the draining is going to happen on the local cpu. So
alias lru_add_drain_all to lru_add_drain which does all the necessary
work.

totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages are made static inline function.
Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating
things. It was discussed in length here,
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes
better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing
poteintial store-to-read tearing as a bonus.

lockdep_assert_held() is better suited to checking locking requirements,
since it only checks if the current thread holds the lock regardless of
whether someone else does. This is also a step towards possibly removing
spin_is_locked().

Pull XArray conversion from Matthew Wilcox:
"The XArray provides an improved interface to the radix tree data
structure, providing locking as part of the API, specifying GFP flags
at allocation time, eliminating preloading, less re-walking the tree,
more efficient iterations and not exposing RCU-protected pointers to
its users.
This patch set
1. Introduces the XArray implementation
2. Converts the pagecache to use it
3. Converts memremap to use it
The page cache is the most complex and important user of the radix
tree, so converting it was most important. Converting the memremap
code removes the only other user of the multiorder code, which allows
us to remove the radix tree code that supported it.
I have 40+ followup patches to convert many other users of the radix
tree over to the XArray, but I'd like to get this part in first. The
other conversions haven't been in linux-next and aren't suitable for
applying yet, but you can see them in the xarray-conv branch if you're
interested"

Introduce xarray value entries and tagged pointers to replace radix
tree exceptional entries. This is a slight change in encoding to allow
the use of an extra bit (we can now store BITS_PER_LONG - 1 bits in a
value entry). It is also a change in emphasis; exceptional entries are
intimidating and different. As the comment explains, you can choose
to store values or pointers in the xarray and they are both first-class
citizens.

In preparation for fixing dax-dma-vs-unmap issues, filesystems need to
be able to rely on the fact that they will get wakeups on dev_pagemap
page-idle events. Introduce MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX and
generic_dax_page_free() as common indicator / infrastructure for dax
filesytems to require. With this change there are no users of the
MEMORY_DEVICE_HOST designation, so remove it.
The HMM sub-system extended dev_pagemap to arrange a callback when a
dev_pagemap managed page is freed. Since a dev_pagemap page is free /
idle when its reference count is 1 it requires an additional branch to
check the page-type at put_page() time. Given put_page() is a hot-path
we do not want to incur that check if HMM is not in use, so a static
branch is used to avoid that overhead when not necessary.
Now, the FS_DAX implementation wants to reuse this mechanism for
receiving dev_pagemap ->page_free() callbacks. Rework the HMM-specific
static-key into a generic mechanism that either HMM or FS_DAX code paths
can enable.
For ARCH=um builds, and any other arch that lacks ZONE_DEVICE support,
care must be taken to compile out the DEV_PAGEMAP_OPS infrastructure.
However, we still need to support FS_DAX in the FS_DAX_LIMITED case
implemented by the s390/dcssblk driver.

When a thread mlocks an address space backed either by file pages which
are currently not present in memory or swapped out anon pages (not in
swapcache), a new page is allocated and added to the local pagevec
(lru_add_pvec), I/O is triggered and the thread then sleeps on the page.
On I/O completion, the thread can wake on a different CPU, the mlock
syscall will then sets the PageMlocked() bit of the page but will not be
able to put that page in unevictable LRU as the page is on the pagevec
of a different CPU. Even on drain, that page will go to evictable LRU
because the PageMlocked() bit is not checked on pagevec drain.
The page will eventually go to right LRU on reclaim but the LRU stats
will remain skewed for a long time.
This patch puts all the pages, even unevictable, to the pagevecs and on
the drain, the pages will be added on their LRUs correctly by checking
their evictability. This resolves the mlocked pages on pagevec of other
CPUs issue because when those pagevecs will be drained, the mlocked file
pages will go to unevictable LRU. Also this makes the race with munlock
easier to resolve because the pagevec drains happen in LRU lock.
However there is still one place which makes a page evictable and does
PageLRU check on that page without LRU lock and needs special attention.
TestClearPageMlocked() and isolate_lru_page() in clear_page_mlock().
#0: __pagevec_lru_add_fn #1: clear_page_mlock
SetPageLRU() if (!TestClearPageMlocked())
return
smp_mb() // <--required
// inside does PageLRU
if (!PageMlocked()) if (isolate_lru_page())
move to evictable LRU putback_lru_page()
else
move to unevictable LRU
In '#1', TestClearPageMlocked() provides full memory barrier semantics
and thus the PageLRU check (inside isolate_lru_page) can not be
reordered before it.
In '#0', without explicit memory barrier, the PageMlocked() check can be
reordered before SetPageLRU(). If that happens, '#0' can put a page in
unevictable LRU and '#1' might have just cleared the Mlocked bit of that
page but fails to isolate as PageLRU fails as '#0' still hasn't set
PageLRU bit of that page. That page will be stranded on the unevictable
LRU.
There is one (good) side effect though. Without this patch, the pages
allocated for System V shared memory segment are added to evictable LRUs
even after shmctl(SHM_LOCK) on that segment. This patch will correctly
put such pages to unevictable LRU.

Pulling cpu hotplug locks inside the mm core function like
lru_add_drain_all just asks for problems and the recent lockdep splat
[1] just proves this. While the usage in that particular case might be
wrong we should avoid the locking as lru_add_drain_all() is used in many
places. It seems that this is not all that hard to achieve actually.
We have done the same thing for drain_all_pages which is analogous by
commit a459eeb7b852 ("mm, page_alloc: do not depend on cpu hotplug locks
inside the allocator"). All we have to care about is to handle
- the work item might be executed on a different cpu in worker from
unbound pool so it doesn't run on pinned on the cpu
- we have to make sure that we do not race with page_alloc_cpu_dead
calling lru_add_drain_cpu
the first part is already handled because the worker calls lru_add_drain
which disables preemption when calling lru_add_drain_cpu on the local
cpu it is draining. The later is true because page_alloc_cpu_dead is
called on the controlling CPU after the hotplugged CPU vanished
completely.

Most callers users of free_hot_cold_page claim the pages being released
are cache hot. The exception is the page reclaim paths where it is
likely that enough pages will be freed in the near future that the
per-cpu lists are going to be recycled and the cache hotness information
is lost. As no one really cares about the hotness of pages being
released to the allocator, just ditch the parameter.
The APIs are renamed to indicate that it's no longer about hot/cold
pages. It should also be less confusing as there are subtle differences
between them. __free_pages drops a reference and frees a page when the
refcount reaches zero. free_hot_cold_page handled pages whose refcount
was already zero which is non-obvious from the name. free_unref_page
should be more obvious.
No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal. The
parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless
parameter copied everywhere.

When a pagevec is initialised on the stack, it is generally used
multiple times over a range of pages, looking up entries and then
releasing them. On each pagevec_release, the per-cpu deferred LRU
pagevecs are drained on the grounds the page being released may be on
those queues and the pages may be cache hot. In many cases only the
first drain is necessary as it's unlikely that the range of pages being
walked is racing against LRU addition. Even if there is such a race,
the impact is marginal where as constantly redraining the lru pagevecs
costs.
This patch ensures that pagevec is only drained once in a given
lifecycle without increasing the cache footprint of the pagevec
structure. Only sparsetruncate tiny is shown here as large files have
many exceptional entries and calls pagecache_release less frequently.

Patch series "Ranged pagevec tagged lookup", v3.
In this series I provide a ranged variant of pagevec_lookup_tag() and
use it in places where it makes sense. This series removes some common
code and it also has a potential for speeding up some operations
similarly as for pagevec_lookup_range() (but for now I can think of only
artificial cases where this happens).
This patch (of 16):
Implement a variant of find_get_pages_tag() that stops iterating at
given index. Lots of users of this function (through pagevec_lookup())
actually want a range lookup and all of them are currently open-coding
this.
Also create corresponding pagevec_lookup_range_tag() function.

MADV_FREE clears pte dirty bit and then marks the page lazyfree (clear
SwapBacked). There is no lock to prevent the page is added to swap
cache between these two steps by page reclaim. Page reclaim could add
the page to swap cache and unmap the page. After page reclaim, the page
is added back to lru. At that time, we probably start draining per-cpu
pagevec and mark the page lazyfree. So the page could be in a state
with SwapBacked cleared and PG_swapcache set. Next time there is a
refault in the virtual address, do_swap_page can find the page from swap
cache but the page has PageSwapCache false because SwapBacked isn't set,
so do_swap_page will bail out and do nothing. The task will keep
running into fault handler.

Platform with advance system bus (like CAPI or CCIX) allow device memory
to be accessible from CPU in a cache coherent fashion. Add a new type of
ZONE_DEVICE to represent such memory. The use case are the same as for
the un-addressable device memory but without all the corners cases.

Implement a variant of find_get_pages() that stops iterating at given
index. This may be substantial performance gain if the mapping is
sparse. See following commit for details. Furthermore lots of users of
this function (through pagevec_lookup()) actually want a range lookup
and all of them are currently open-coding this.
Also create corresponding pagevec_lookup_range() function.

The rework of the cpu hotplug locking unearthed potential deadlocks with
the memory hotplug locking code.
The solution for these is to rework the memory hotplug locking code as
well and take the cpu hotplug lock before the memory hotplug lock in
mem_hotplug_begin(), but this will cause a recursive locking of the cpu
hotplug lock when the memory hotplug code calls lru_add_drain_all().
Split out the inner workings of lru_add_drain_all() into
lru_add_drain_all_cpuslocked() so this function can be invoked from the
memory hotplug code with the cpu hotplug lock held.

Track the following reclaim counters for every memory cgroup: PGREFILL,
PGSCAN, PGSTEAL, PGACTIVATE, PGDEACTIVATE, PGLAZYFREE and PGLAZYFREED.
These values are exposed using the memory.stats interface of cgroup v2.
The meaning of each value is the same as for global counters, available
using /proc/vmstat.
Also, for consistency, rename mem_cgroup_count_vm_event() to
count_memcg_event_mm().

madv()'s MADV_FREE indicate pages are 'lazyfree'. They are still
anonymous pages, but they can be freed without pageout. To distinguish
these from normal anonymous pages, we clear their SwapBacked flag.
MADV_FREE pages could be freed without pageout, so they pretty much like
used once file pages. For such pages, we'd like to reclaim them once
there is memory pressure. Also it might be unfair reclaiming MADV_FREE
pages always before used once file pages and we definitively want to
reclaim the pages before other anonymous and file pages.
To speed up MADV_FREE pages reclaim, we put the pages into
LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list. The rationale is LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list is tiny
nowadays and should be full of used once file pages. Reclaiming
MADV_FREE pages will not have much interfere of anonymous and active
file pages. And the inactive file pages and MADV_FREE pages will be
reclaimed according to their age, so we don't reclaim too many MADV_FREE
pages too. Putting the MADV_FREE pages into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE_LIST also
means we can reclaim the pages without swap support. This idea is
suggested by Johannes.
This patch doesn't move MADV_FREE pages to LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list yet to
avoid bisect failure, next patch will do it.
The patch is based on Minchan's original patch.

reference to fix pmem crash
The x86 conversion to the generic GUP code included a small change which causes
crashes and data corruption in the pmem code - not good.
The root cause is that the /dev/pmem driver code implicitly relies on the x86
get_user_pages() implementation doing a get_page() on the page refcount, because
get_page() does a get_zone_device_page() which properly refcounts pmem's separate
page struct arrays that are not present in the regular page struct structures.
(The pmem driver does this because it can cover huge memory areas.)
But the x86 conversion to the generic GUP code changed the get_page() to
page_cache_get_speculative() which is faster but doesn't do the
get_zone_device_page() call the pmem code relies on.
One way to solve the regression would be to change the generic GUP code to use
get_page(), but that would slow things down a bit and punish other generic-GUP
using architectures for an x86-ism they did not care about. (Arguably the pmem
driver was probably not working reliably for them: but nvdimm is an Intel
feature, so non-x86 exposure is probably still limited.)
So restructure the pmem code's interface with the MM instead: get rid of the
get/put_zone_device_page() distinction, integrate put_zone_device_page() into
__put_page() and and restructure the pmem completion-wait and teardown machinery:
Kirill points out that the calls to {get,put}_dev_pagemap() can be
removed from the mm fast path if we take a single get_dev_pagemap()
reference to signify that the page is alive and use the final put of the
page to drop that reference.
This does require some care to make sure that any waits for the
percpu_ref to drop to zero occur *after* devm_memremap_page_release(),
since it now maintains its own elevated reference.
This speeds up things while also making the pmem refcounting more robust going
forward.

We currently have 2 specific WQ_RECLAIM workqueues in the mm code.
vmstat_wq for updating pcp stats and lru_add_drain_wq dedicated to drain
per cpu lru caches. This seems more than necessary because both can run
on a single WQ. Both do not block on locks requiring a memory
allocation nor perform any allocations themselves. We will save one
rescuer thread this way.
On the other hand drain_all_pages() queues work on the system wq which
doesn't have rescuer and so this depend on memory allocation (when all
workers are stuck allocating and new ones cannot be created).
Initially we thought this would be more of a theoretical problem but
Hugh Dickins has reported:
: 4.11-rc has been giving me hangs after hours of swapping load. At
: first they looked like memory leaks ("fork: Cannot allocate memory");
: but for no good reason I happened to do "cat /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh"
: before looking at /proc/meminfo one time, and the stat_refresh stuck
: in D state, waiting for completion of flush_work like many kworkers.
: kthreadd waiting for completion of flush_work in drain_all_pages().
This worker should be using WQ_RECLAIM as well in order to guarantee a
forward progress. We can reuse the same one as for lru draining and
vmstat.
