After a few days of developement I think I'm ready to release the VM
rewrite I did.
The alternate vm will be included in 2.4.10pre9aa1 (or anwways the very
next -aa release) and I'll maintain it in the -aa tree. It is supposed
to provide:
1) stable kswapd, avoid the kswapd 100% load of the cpu problem
(this is provided by the classzone design, btw I improved the
implementation a little bit compared to the 2.3/2.4.0-test patches,
now I try to do things as lazily as possible without the bookkeeping
in the pagealloc/pagefreeing)
2) optimal performance, avoid slowdowns after multiple runs of workloads
and avoid swapout storms (for databases not using O_DIRECT)
3) you will get swap+ram of available virtual memory
At the moment it's of course still a bit experimental and subject to
changes but I'm writing this email on top of it and it's perfectly
usable.
This isn't an hack/band-aid or a small set of changes, it's a
complete rewrite from scratch of the whole memory balancing including
garbage collections lru lists, kswapd etc... (only the swap_out() path
is almost unchanged)
The only benchmark I did so far is been `dbench`. Without the vm patch
applied dbench says:

Cool, I'll definately take a look to see if there are any
good ideas ready to be integrated into the -linus or -ac
kernels.

I doubt you'll be able to achieve all of those without
really major changes, but I'll take a look at your code
when you make it public ;)

Andrea made 2.2 finally stable under really high VM loads. I'm certainly
interested to see what comes out of this.

Definately, I have no doubt he'll achieve some good
results. It's the overly wild claims I'm having doubts
about.
I'm looking forward to seeing his patch...

as said it is quite a major change, it discards most of the the 2.4 vm
that I don't agree with, it is basically an evolution of the classzone
patch.

That is the wrong direction to go into.
We'll be completely screwed on NuMA with the classzone patch. I've said so
before, I'll say so again.
The basic approach of the classzone patch is _wrong_, in making global
decisions where no "globality" exists.
I bet that the improvements are from other things, not from classzone
itself. An dI will bet that if we start doing classzones, we'll regret it
a LOT in a few years.

Some of the the main features of 2.4.10pre10aa1 are:
o vm rewrite (see below a description)
o do all the possible vma merging during mmap/mremap/mprotect and
rewrite of the vma lookup engine using rb trees checkpointing for
avoiding various browse of the tree during vma merging, mmap etc...
o blkdev in pagecache (you can also open a blkdev and mmap it,
or you can open it with O_DIRECT and do rawio without using /dev/raw)
o rawio improvement with preallocation of the kiobuf in the f_iobuf
provided by the O_DIRECT support (next step is to split the kiobuf
for the contention case that doesn't happen during the DB workload
and for the non I/O users like bttv)
o O_DIRECT support
o latest TUX 2 release developed by Ingo Molnar (RedHat Inc) (you need
the tux 2.1.0 userspace package from redhat.com to use it)
o latest UML release developed by Jeff Dike
o rcu core included (thought it will be rewritten, I agreed with
Dipankar that the per-cpu scheduling sequence number seems
the best approch, such number can serve also as a statistic
to usespace infact, it is very similar to Rusty's patch but it
doesn't add any branch to the schedule fast path, he's rewriting
the patch at the moment and I'll include it in the next release)
Only in 2.4.10pre8aa1: 00_gcc-30-extern-static-3
Only in 2.4.10pre8aa1: 00_nfs-delete-lock-1
Only in 2.4.10pre8aa1: 00_tgid-1
Merged into mainline.
Only in 2.4.10pre10aa1: 80_vm-aa-1
VM rewrite, should fix:
- kswapd looping forever on DMA or NORMAL classzones
- swap+ram will be almost all available address space
(modulo when the swap cache serves to avoid swapins
of shares anonymous memory after a fork)
- slowdowns after multiple runs of the workloads
- swapout storms
- dbench runs twice faster with this patch applied
I've several ideas on how to change the vm algorithms to
be even better, this first one may be a little too agrressive, however
I tried a few of them and I did a check of the dbench numbers after
that and they were always slower than the algorithm in the 80_vm-aa-1
patch. (OTOH I don't want a VM that works wonderfully on dbench
but not with other normal workloads)
This patch may still swap a little too much (but it shouldnt'
generate the storms during heavy I/O), I need feedback from differnt
workloads to be sure it's ok, at this point it is trival for me to
change the behaviour radically after I get the feedback and numbers
from users and developers.
So please test it so I will know if I must change something.
About stability it should be rock solid, but of course there's
not a very good statistic yet (my most critical desktop is running
2.4.10pre10aa1 since last night under high load without problems yet).
I probably have a bug in swapoff but let's ignore it for now, just
try to run swapoff only before shutting down the machine. The fact
is that the 2.4 VM is broken freeing physically dirty pages.
The last owner of the page (usually the VM except in swapoff) has to
clear the dirty flag before freeing the page, in swapoff it may
be a little more complicate (we may need to grab the pagecache_lock
to ensure nobody start using the page while we clear it). And swapoff
is probably racy anyways as usual (swapoff in 2.2 is racy too). In
short I didn't focused on swapoff yet, I just made an hack to make it
to work while shutting down the machine so far.
I know this patch could hurt some developer since I backed out
lots of (broken) stuff that probably they liked, I'm sorry for that,
but I will mainly listen to numbers, not to "voice/email" vapourware
arguments (like the argument numa is broken, that's just a red herring,
this patch flyes on the numa wildfire simulation with all the numa
heuristics enabled as well as on uml with mem=4m, origin 2k or whatever
x86/ia64 numa hardware will never ever have problems either with it and
I will make sure it will work correctly). So in short I will love to
be proved wrong on the _paper_ with real life issues.

Sorry, in the latest patch I folded the per-cpu context switch counter into
per-cpu counters for other quiescent states - user mode code and idle loop
in order to save on an extra compare making a single counter :-)
So, it is not much of a user space statistics anymore.
I can put that counter back, but I think eventually it may anyway
make sense to start using per-cpu statistics counters. As a matter
of fact we are working on a framework to support these. If we do
use per-cpu statistics counters later, RCU can make use of the
per-cpu context switch statistics counter.
Thanks
Dipankar
