From 9ca4e437a24dfc4ec6c362f319eb9850b9eca497 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yu Zhao Date: Fri, 30 Dec 2022 14:52:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 11/19] UPSTREAM: mm: support POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE This patch adds POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE to vma_has_recency() so that the LRU algorithm can ignore access to mapped files marked by this flag. The advantages of POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE are: 1. Unlike MADV_SEQUENTIAL and MADV_RANDOM, it does not alter the default readahead behavior. 2. Unlike MADV_SEQUENTIAL and MADV_RANDOM, it does not split VMAs and therefore does not take mmap_lock. 3. Unlike MADV_COLD, setting it has a negligible cost, regardless of how many pages it affects. Its limitations are: 1. Like POSIX_FADV_RANDOM and POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL, it currently does not support range. IOW, its scope is the entire file. 2. It currently does not ignore access through file descriptors. Specifically, for the active/inactive LRU, given a file page shared by two users and one of them having set POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE on the file, this page will be activated upon the second user accessing it. This corner case can be covered by checking POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE before calling folio_mark_accessed() on the read path. But it is considered not worth the effort. There have been a few attempts to support POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE, e.g., [1]. This time the goal is to fill a niche: a few desktop applications, e.g., large file transferring and video encoding/decoding, want fast file streaming with mmap() rather than direct IO. Among those applications, an SVT-AV1 regression was reported when running with MGLRU [2]. The following test can reproduce that regression. kb=$(awk '/MemTotal/ { print $2 }' /proc/meminfo) kb=$((kb - 8*1024*1024)) modprobe brd rd_nr=1 rd_size=$kb dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram0 bs=1M mkfs.ext4 /dev/ram0 mount /dev/ram0 /mnt/ swapoff -a fallocate -l 8G /mnt/swapfile mkswap /mnt/swapfile swapon /mnt/swapfile wget http://ultravideo.cs.tut.fi/video/Bosphorus_3840x2160_120fps_420_8bit_YUV_Y4M.7z 7z e -o/mnt/ Bosphorus_3840x2160_120fps_420_8bit_YUV_Y4M.7z SvtAv1EncApp --preset 12 -w 3840 -h 2160 \ -i /mnt/Bosphorus_3840x2160.y4m For MGLRU, the following change showed a [9-11]% increase in FPS, which makes it on par with the active/inactive LRU. patch Source/App/EncApp/EbAppMain.c < #include 35d35 < #include /* _O_BINARY */ 117a118 > posix_fadvise(config->mmap.fd, 0, 0, POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE); EOF [1] https://lore.kernel.org/r/1308923350-7932-1-git-send-email-andrea@betterlinux.com/ [2] https://openbenchmarking.org/result/2209259-PTS-MGLRU8GB57 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221230215252.2628425-2-yuzhao@google.com Change-Id: I0b7f5f971d78014ea1ba44cee6a8ec902a4330d0 Signed-off-by: Yu Zhao Cc: Alexander Viro Cc: Andrea Righi Cc: Johannes Weiner Cc: Michael Larabel Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton (cherry picked from commit 17e810229cb3068b692fa078bd9b3a6527e0866a) Bug: 274865848 Signed-off-by: T.J.
