[PATCH 00/24] Swapin path refactor for optimization and bugfix

[Kairui Song]

From: Kairui Song <kasong@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This series tries to unify and clean up the swapin path, fixing a few
issues with optimizations:

1. Memcg leak issue: when a process that previously swapped out some
   migrated to another cgroup, and the origianl cgroup is dead. If we
   do a swapoff, swapped in pages will be accounted into the process
   doing swapoff instead of the new cgroup. This will allow the process
   to use more memory than expect easily.

   This can be easily reproduced by:
   - Setup a swap.
   - Create memory cgroup A, B and C.
   - Spawn process P1 in cgroup A and make it swap out some pages.
   - Move process P1 to memory cgroup B.
   - Destroy cgroup A.
   - Do a swapoff in cgroup C
   - Swapped in pages is accounted into cgroup C.

   This patch will fix it make the swapped in pages accounted in cgroup B.

2. When there are multiple swap deviced configured, if one of these
   devices is not SSD, VMA readahead will be globally disabled.

   This series will make the readahead policy check per swap entry.

3. This series also include many refactor and optimzations:
   - Swap readahead policy check is unified for page-fault/swapoff/shmem,
     so swapin from ramdisk (eg. ZRAM) will always bypass swapcache.
     Previously shmem and swapoff have different behavior on this.
   - Some mircro optimization (eg. skip duplicated xarray lookup)
     for swapin path while doing the refactor.

Some benchmark:

1. fio test for shmem (whin 2G memcg limit and using lzo-rle ZRAM swap):
fio -name=tmpfs --numjobs=16 --directory=/tmpfs --size=256m --ioengine=mmap \
  --iodepth=128 --rw=randrw --random_distribution=<RANDOM> --time_based\
  --ramp_time=1m --runtime=1m --group_reporting

RANDOM=zipf:1.2 ZRAM
Before (R/W, bw): 7339MiB/s / 7341MiB/s
After  (R/W, bw): 7305MiB/s / 7308MiB/s (-0.5%)

RANDOM=zipf:0.5 ZRAM
Before (R/W, bw): 770MiB/s / 770MiB/s
After  (R/W, bw): 775MiB/s / 774MiB/s (+0.6%)

RANDOM=random ZRAM
Before (R/W, bw): 537MiB/s / 537MiB/s
After  (R/W, bw): 552MiB/s / 552MiB/s (+2.7%)

We can see readahead barely helps, and for random RW there is a observable performance gain.

2. Micro benchmark which use madvise to swap out 10G zero-filled data to
   ZRAM then read them in, shows a performance gain for swapin path:

Before: 12480532 us
After:  12013318 us (+3.8%)

4. The final vmlinux is also a little bit smaller (gcc 8.5.0):
