Although the issue may seem complex at a systemic level, even a small program can
demonstrate the problem and highlight how Chris's patch has improved the
situation.
To demonstrate this, I designed a basic test program that maximally allocates
two memory blocks:
* A memory block of up to 60MB, recommended for HUGEPAGE usage
* A memory block of up to 1MB, recommended for NOHUGEPAGE usage
In the system configuration, I enabled 64KB mTHP and 64MB zRAM, providing more than
enough space for both the 60MB and 1MB allocations in the worst case. This setup
allows us to assess two effects:
1. When we don't enable mem2 (small folios), we consistently allocate and free
swap slots aligned with 64KB. whether there is a risk of failure to obtain
swap slots even though the zRAM has sufficient free space?
2. When we enable mem2 (small folios), the presence of small folios may lead
to fragmentation of clusters, potentially impacting the swapout process for
large folios negatively.
(2) can be enabled by "-s", without -s, small folios are disabled.
The script to configure zRAM and mTHP:
echo lzo > /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm
echo 64M > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-2048kB/enabled
echo always > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hugepages-64kB/enabled
mkswap /dev/zram0
swapon /dev/zram0
The test program I made today after receiving Chris' patchset v2

be committed into kernel/tools/ folder. If yes, please let me know,
and I will cleanup and prepare a patch):

mthp swpout fallback ratio is stable and low in 100 iterations!!!
Though the number is very good, I wonder why it is not 0% since 64MB is larger
than 60MB? Chris, do you have any idea?

It is getting worse than test C but still way better than test
A and B.
I previously observed a 100% fallback ratio in test v1 on an actual phone, especially
when order-0 and mthp were combined within one zRAM. This likely triggered a scenario
where order-0 had to scan swap to locate free slots, resulting in fragmentation
across all clusters.
Not quite sure if this still happens in v2. Will arrange a phone test next week. If
yes, I am still eager to see some approach to prevent order-0 from spreading across
all clusters.
BTW, Chris,
Is the warning "expecting order 4 got 0" normal in the above test?

This could be a hotfix, considering swapping out a mTHP is slower than
swapping nr_pages small folios with the overhead of splitting folio
if we have to fallback. Ryan had the regression data before[1]
"
| alloc size | baseline | + this series |
| | mm-unstable (~v6.9-rc1) | |
|:-----------|------------------------:|------------------------:|
| 4K Page | 0.0% | 1.3% |
| 64K THP | -13.6% | 46.3% |
| 2M THP | 91.4% | 89.6% |
So with this change, the 64K swap performance goes from a 14% regression to a
46% improvement. While 2M shows a small regression I'm confident that this is
just noise."
Ryan reported a 14% regression if mthp can not be swapped out as a whole
comparing to only using small folios.
