(patch 3) (suggested by Brian Foster)
* Make cachestat extensible by adding the `cstat_size` argument in the
syscall (patch 3)

There is currently no good way to query the page cache statistics of large
files and directory trees. There is mincore(), but it scales poorly: the
kernel writes out a lot of bitmap data that userspace has to aggregate,
when the user really does not care about per-page information in that
case. The user also needs to mmap and unmap each file as it goes along,
which can be quite slow as well.

Some use cases where this information could come in handy:
* Allowing database to decide whether to perform an index scan or direct
table queries based on the in-memory cache state of the index.
* Visibility into the writeback algorithm, for performance issues
diagnostic.
* Workload-aware writeback pacing: estimating IO fulfilled by page cache
(and IO to be done) within a range of a file, allowing for more
frequent syncing when and where there is IO capacity, and batching
when there is not.
* Computing memory usage of large files/directory trees, analogous to
the du tool for disk usage.

More information about these use cases could be found in this thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/

This series of patches introduces a new system call, cachestat, that
summarizes the page cache statistics (number of cached pages, dirty
pages, pages marked for writeback, evicted pages etc.) of a file, in a
specified range of bytes. It also include a selftest suite that tests some
typical usage. Currently, the syscall is only wired in for x86
architecture.

This interface is inspired by past discussion and concerns with fincore,
which has a similar design (and as a result, issues) as mincore.
Relevant links:

https://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1302.1/04207.html
https://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1302.1/04209.html


I have also developed a small tool that computes the memory usage of
files and directories, analogous to the du utility. User can choose
between mincore or cachestat (with cachestat exporting more information
than mincore). To compare the performance of these two options, I
benchmarked the tool on the root directory of a Meta's server machine,
each for five runs:

Using cachestat
real -- Median: 33.377s, Average: 33.475s, Standard Deviation: 0.3602
user -- Median: 4.08s, Average: 4.1078s, Standard Deviation: 0.0742
sys -- Median: 28.823s, Average: 28.8866s, Standard Deviation: 0.2689

Using mincore:
real -- Median: 102.352s, Average: 102.3442s, Standard Deviation: 0.2059
user -- Median: 10.149s, Average: 10.1482s, Standard Deviation: 0.0162
sys -- Median: 91.186s, Average: 91.2084s, Standard Deviation: 0.2046

I also ran both syscalls on a 2TB sparse file:

Using cachestat:
real 0m0.009s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.009s

Using mincore:
real 0m37.510s
user 0m2.934s
sys 0m34.558s

Very large files like this are the pathological case for mincore. In fact,
to compute the stats for a single 2TB file, mincore takes as long as
cachestat takes to compute the stats for the entire tree! This could
easily happen inadvertently when we run it on subdirectories. Mincore is
clearly not suitable for a general-purpose command line tool.

Regarding security concerns, cachestat() should not pose any additional
issues. The caller already has read permission to the file itself (since
they need an fd to that file to call cachestat). This means that the
caller can access the underlying data in its entirety, which is a much
greater source of information (and as a result, a much greater security
risk) than the cache status itself.

This series consist of 3 patches:

Subject: [PATCH v12 1/3] workingset: refactor LRU refault to expose refault recency check

In preparation for computing recently evicted pages in cachestat,
refactor workingset_refault and lru_gen_refault to expose a helper
function that would test if an evicted page is recently evicted.

Subject: [PATCH v12 2/3] cachestat: implement cachestat syscall

There is currently no good way to query the page cache state of large
file sets and directory trees. There is mincore(), but it scales poorly:
the kernel writes out a lot of bitmap data that userspace has to
aggregate, when the user really doesn not care about per-page
information in that case. The user also needs to mmap and unmap each
file as it goes along, which can be quite slow as well.

A couple of use cases where this information could come in handy:
* Deciding whether to perform an index scan or direct table queries
based on the in-memory cache state of the index.
* Visibility into the writeback algorithm, for performance issues
diagnostic.
* Userspace writeback advise - balancing between integrity and IO
utilization.
* Computing memory usage of large files/directory trees, analogous to
the du tool for disk usage.

More information about these use cases could be found in the following
thread:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/

This patch implements a new syscall that queries cache state of a file
and summarizes the number of cached pages, number of dirty pages, number
of pages marked for writeback, number of (recently) evicted pages, etc.
in a given range. Currently, the syscall is only wired in for x86
architecture.

NAME
cachestat - query the page cache statistics of a file.

SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/mman.h>

struct cachestat {
__u64 nr_cache;
__u64 nr_dirty;
__u64 nr_writeback;
__u64 nr_evicted;
__u64 nr_recently_evicted;
};

int cachestat(unsigned int fd, size_t len, loff_t off,
struct cachestat *cstat, unsigned int flags);

DESCRIPTION
cachestat() queries the number of cached pages, number of dirty
pages, number of pages marked for writeback, number of evicted
pages, number of recently evicted pages, in the bytes range given by
`off` and `len`.

An evicted page is a page that is previously in the page cache but
has been evicted since. A page is recently evicted if its last
eviction was recent enough that its reentry to the cache would
indicate that it is actively being used by the system, and that
there is memory pressure on the system.

These values are returned in a cachestat struct, whose address is
given by the `cstat` argument.

The `off` and `len` arguments must be non-negative integers. If
`len` > 0, the queried range is [`off`, `off` + `len`]. If `len` ==
0, we will query in the range from `off` to the end of the file.

The `flags` argument is unused for now, but is included for future
extensibility. User should pass 0 (i.e no flag specified).

Currently, hugetlbfs is not supported.

Because the status of a page can change after cachestat() checks it
but before it returns to the application, the returned values may
contain stale information.

RETURN VALUE
On success, cachestat returns 0. On error, -1 is returned, and errno
is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
EFAULT cstat points to an invalid address.

EINVAL invalid offset or flags.

EBADF invalid file descriptor.

EOPNOTSUPP file descriptor is of a hugetlbfs file

Subject: [PATCH v12 3/3] selftests: Add selftests for cachestat

Test cachestat on a newly created file, /dev/ files, and /proc/ files.
Also test on a shmem file (which can also be tested with huge pages
since tmpfs supports huge pages).
