The patch titled
     Subject: mm: support madvise(MADV_FREE)
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-support-madvisemadv_free.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: mm: support madvise(MADV_FREE)

Linux doesn't have an ability to free pages lazy while other OS already
have been supported that named by madvise(MADV_FREE).

The gain is clear that kernel can discard freed pages rather than swapping
out or OOM if memory pressure happens.

Without memory pressure, freed pages would be reused by userspace without
another additional overhead(ex, page fault + allocation + zeroing).

Jason Evans said:

: Facebook has been using MAP_UNINITIALIZED
: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/18/308) in some of its applications for
: several years, but there are operational costs to maintaining this
: out-of-tree in our kernel and in jemalloc, and we are anxious to retire it
: in favor of MADV_FREE.  When we first enabled MAP_UNINITIALIZED it
: increased throughput for much of our workload by ~5%, and although the
: benefit has decreased using newer hardware and kernels, there is still
: enough benefit that we cannot reasonably retire it without a replacement.
:
: Aside from Facebook operations, there are numerous broadly used
: applications that would benefit from MADV_FREE.  The ones that immediately
: come to mind are redis, varnish, and MariaDB.  I don't have much insight
: into Android internals and development process, but I would hope to see
: MADV_FREE support eventually end up there as well to benefit applications
: linked with the integrated jemalloc.
:
: jemalloc will use MADV_FREE once it becomes available in the Linux kernel.
: In fact, jemalloc already uses MADV_FREE or equivalent everywhere it's
: available: *BSD, OS X, Windows, and Solaris -- every platform except Linux
: (and AIX, but I'm not sure it even compiles on AIX).  The lack of
: MADV_FREE on Linux forced me down a long series of increasingly
: sophisticated heuristics for madvise() volume reduction, and even so this
: remains a common performance issue for people using jemalloc on Linux.
: Please integrate MADV_FREE; many people will benefit substantially.

How it works:

When madvise syscall is called, VM clears dirty bit of ptes of the range.
If memory pressure happens, VM checks dirty bit of page table and if it
found still "clean", it means it's a "lazyfree pages" so VM could discard
the page instead of swapping out.  Once there was store operation for the
page before VM peek a page to reclaim, dirty bit is set so VM can swap out
the page instead of discarding.

One thing we should notice is that basically, MADV_FREE relies on dirty bit
in page table entry to decide whether VM allows to discard the page or not.
IOW, if page table entry includes marked dirty bit, VM shouldn't discard
the page.

However, as a example, if swap-in by read fault happens, page table entry
doesn't have dirty bit so MADV_FREE could discard the page wrongly.

For avoiding the problem, MADV_FREE did more checks with PageDirty
and PageSwapCache. It worked out because swapped-in page lives on
swap cache and since it is evicted from the swap cache, the page has
PG_dirty flag. So both page flags check effectively prevent
wrong discarding by MADV_FREE.

However, a problem in above logic is that swapped-in page has
PG_dirty still after they are removed from swap cache so VM cannot
consider the page as freeable any more even if madvise_free is
called in future.

Look at below example for detail.

    ptr = malloc();
    memset(ptr);
    ..
    ..
    .. heavy memory pressure so all of pages are swapped out
    ..
    ..
    var = *ptr; -> a page swapped-in and could be removed from
                   swapcache. Then, page table doesn't mark
                   dirty bit and page descriptor includes PG_dirty
    ..
    ..
    madvise_free(ptr); -> It doesn't clear PG_dirty of the page.
    ..
    ..
    ..
    .. heavy memory pressure again.
    .. In this time, VM cannot discard the page because the page
    .. has *PG_dirty*

To solve the problem, this patch clears PG_dirty if only the page is owned
exclusively by current process when madvise is called because PG_dirty
represents ptes's dirtiness in several processes so we could clear it only
if we own it exclusively.

Firstly, heavy users would be general allocators(ex, jemalloc, tcmalloc
and hope glibc supports it) and jemalloc/tcmalloc already have supported
the feature for other OS(ex, FreeBSD)

In summary, MADV_FREE is about much faster than MADV_DONTNEED.

Add core MADV_FREE implementation.
