The worst-case scenario on finding same element pages is that almost all
elements are same at the first glance but only last few elements are
different.
Since the same element tends to be grouped from the beginning of the
pages, if we check the first element with the last element before
looping through all elements, we might have some chances to quickly
detect non-same element pages.
1. Test is done under LG webOS TV (64-bit arch)
2. Dump the swap-out pages (~819200 pages)
3. Analyze the pages with simple test script which counts the iteration
number and measures the speed at off-line
Under 64-bit arch, the worst iteration count is PAGE_SIZE / 8 bytes =
512. The speed is based on the time to consume page_same_filled()
function only. The result, on average, is listed as below:
Num of Iter Speed(MB/s)
Looping-Forward (Orig) 38 99265
Looping-Backward 36 102725
Last-element-check (This Patch) 33 125072
The result shows that the average iteration count decreases by 13% and
the speed increases by 25% with this patch. This patch does not
increase the overall time complexity, though.
I also ran simpler version which uses backward loop. Just looping
backward also makes some improvement, but less than this patch.

zswap will always try to shrink pool when zswap is full. If there is a
high pressure on zswap it will result in flipping pages in and out zswap
pool without any real benefit, and the overall system performance will
drop. The previous discussion on this subject [1] ended up with a
suggestion to implement a sort of hysteresis to refuse taking pages into
zswap pool until it has sufficient space if the limit has been hit.
This is my take on this.
Hysteresis is controlled with a sysfs-configurable parameter (namely,
/sys/kernel/debug/zswap/accept_threhsold_percent). It specifies the
threshold at which zswap would start accepting pages again after it
became full. Setting this parameter to 100 disables the hysteresis and
sets the zswap behavior to pre-hysteresis state.

It makes sense to call the WARN_ON_ONCE(zone_idx(zone) == ZONE_MOVABLE)
from start_isolate_page_range(), but should avoid triggering it from
userspace, i.e, from is_mem_section_removable() because it could crash
the system by a non-root user if warn_on_panic is set.
While at it, simplify the code a bit by removing an unnecessary jump
label.

It is not that hard to trigger lockdep splats by calling printk from
under zone->lock. Most of them are false positives caused by lock
chains introduced early in the boot process and they do not cause any
real problems (although most of the early boot lock dependencies could
happen after boot as well). There are some console drivers which do
allocate from the printk context as well and those should be fixed. In
any case, false positives are not that trivial to workaround and it is
far from optimal to lose lockdep functionality for something that is a
non-issue.
So change has_unmovable_pages() so that it no longer calls dump_page()
itself - instead it returns a "struct page *" of the unmovable page back
to the caller so that in the case of a has_unmovable_pages() failure,
the caller can call dump_page() after releasing zone->lock. Also, make
dump_page() is able to report a CMA page as well, so the reason string
from has_unmovable_pages() can be removed.
Even though has_unmovable_pages doesn't hold any reference to the
returned page this should be reasonably safe for the purpose of
reporting the page (dump_page) because it cannot be hotremoved in the
context of memory unplug. The state of the page might change but that
is the case even with the existing code as zone->lock only plays role
for free pages.
While at it, remove a similar but unnecessary debug-only printk() as
well. A sample of one of those lockdep splats is,

If thp defrag setting "defer" is used and a newline is *not* used when
writing to the sysfs file, this is interpreted as the "defer+madvise"
option.
This is because we do prefix matching and if five characters are written
without a newline, the current code ends up comparing to the first five
bytes of the "defer+madvise" option and using that instead.
Use the more appropriate sysfs_streq() that handles the trailing newline
for us. Since this doubles as a nice cleanup, do it in enabled_store()
as well.
The current implementation relies on prefix matching: the number of
bytes compared is either the number of bytes written or the length of
the option being compared. With a newline, "defer\n" does not match
"defer+"madvise"; without a newline, however, "defer" is considered to
match "defer+madvise" (prefix matching is only comparing the first five
bytes). End result is that writing "defer" is broken unless it has an
additional trailing character.
This means that writing "madv" in the past would match and set
"madvise". With strict checking, that no longer is the case but it is
unlikely anybody is currently doing this.

During split huge page, it checks the property of the page. Currently
we do the check on page and head without emphasizing the check is on the
compound page. In case the page passed to split_huge_page_to_list is a
tail page, audience would take some time to think about whether the
check is on compound page or tail page itself.
To make it explicit, use head instead of page for those checks. After
this, audience would be more clear about the checks are on compound page
and the page is used to do the split and dump error message if failed.

When check_pte, pfn of normal, hugetlbfs and THP page need be compared.
The current implementation apply comparison as
- normal 4K page: page_pfn <= pfn < page_pfn + 1
- hugetlbfs page: page_pfn <= pfn < page_pfn + HPAGE_PMD_NR
- THP page: page_pfn <= pfn < page_pfn + HPAGE_PMD_NR
in pfn_in_hpage. For hugetlbfs page, it should be page_pfn == pfn
Now, change pfn_in_hpage to pfn_is_match to highlight that comparison is
not only for THP and explicitly compare for these cases.
No impact upon current behavior, just make the code clear. I think it
is important to make the code clear - comparing hugetlbfs page in range
page_pfn <= pfn < page_pfn + HPAGE_PMD_NR is confusing.

Introduce pin_user_pages*() variations of get_user_pages*() calls, and
also pin_longterm_pages*() variations.
For now, these are placeholder calls, until the various call sites are
converted to use the correct get_user_pages*() or pin_user_pages*() API.
These variants will eventually all set FOLL_PIN, which is also
introduced, and thoroughly documented.
pin_user_pages()
pin_user_pages_remote()
pin_user_pages_fast()
All pages that are pinned via the above calls, must be unpinned via
put_user_page().
The underlying rules are:
* FOLL_PIN is a gup-internal flag, so the call sites should not directly
set it. That behavior is enforced with assertions.
* Call sites that want to indicate that they are going to do DirectIO
("DIO") or something with similar characteristics, should call a
get_user_pages()-like wrapper call that sets FOLL_PIN. These wrappers
will:
* Start with "pin_user_pages" instead of "get_user_pages". That
makes it easy to find and audit the call sites.
* Set FOLL_PIN
* For pages that are received via FOLL_PIN, those pages must be returned
via put_user_page().
Thanks to Jan Kara and Vlastimil Babka for explaining the 4 cases in
this documentation. (I've reworded it and expanded upon it.)
