Yeah - I'm still around.

Sorry to object, but I'm reading this thread because the issue is still fresh enough and relevant to me. Some people are stuck with 4Gb to live everyday. However (In reply to Konstantin Kharlamov from comment #75) This is helpful, like others above, the issue did not show up badly in the last few month using Mint 21.3 and kernel 6.8 (and perhaps since 5.15 or 5.19). I can not easily revert to an older one just for the test, but the machine currently reports `/sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled` and its value is `0x0007` as suggested. This later is fair enough to mandate closure. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1833281 Title: System freeze when memory is put on SWAP in Linux >4.10.x Status in Linux: Expired Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm reporting this since it's reproduceable the 70% of the time.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1833281] Re: System freeze when memory is put on SWAP in Linux >4.10.x
I am experiencing this bug on a stock Dell Inspiron 5000 (5482) with 8 GB RAM and the factory SSD. It is completely debilitating. Having 1-2 completely unpredictable, 30-minute-plus, hard freezes per day is a showstopper. I can't trust this environment for professional work, or even to take notes in gedit during a phone call. I've been an Ubuntu user and advocate at work and home for 10+ years, but I guess I have to quit :( I tried different flavors, and the bug manifested under all of them: Ubuntu LTS 20.04, Ubuntu 20.10, Ubuntu MATE 20.10, and Debian 10. Fedora 33 does not suffer from this bug, so I'm using that. I get frequent "Gah! Your tab just crashed" errors in Firefox any time I have more than about 5 tabs open. I conjecture there is some difference between the Redhat-based and Debian-based kernels, that causes the Redhat-based ones to kill a tab process in the circumstance that causes the Debian-based ones to lock up. The Fedora experience is acceptable, though it's still disappointing that Linux performance is has regressed to be inadequate for basic web browsing. Takeaway: Fedora seems to be an acceptable workaround for people experiencing this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1833281 Title: System freeze when memory is put on SWAP in Linux >4.10.x Status in Linux: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm reporting this since it's reproduceable the 70% of the time.

Was in the early 2010s for 512 MB of RAM. and 2 GB of RAM. Mid 2010s with 4GB of RAM. And for the past five years, 16 GB of RAM has not gone anywhere.

"According to the anonymous author, this useful feature is LOVE AND CAREFULLY into a fresh kernel." Earlier I tried to rebuild kernels according to the advice on the Internet (BFQ). Sometimes it helped a little. Some assemblies gave time to urgently close programs.

I primarily test by building webkitgtk [1], and I experience the same loss of system responsiveness whether / is ext4 or Btrfs. But I do see a difference in top and iotop. https://drive.google.com/open?id=12jpQeskPsvHmfvDjWSPOwIWSz09JIUlk This is an extreme case of refaulting, it's out of memory and swap, and since kswapd and btrfs threads are using a lot of CPU I'm guessing the faults are a mix of anonymous pages and file pages. At this point the system is really lost which is why the UX is the same with ext4 and btrfs; but behind the scenes it does seem more is going on. There might be other workloads which aren't as extreme, thereby exposing the difference. Two possible sources of the heavy CPU for btrfs threads: decompression, and checksumming. If it's true there is near constant reclaim happening, it's not just a simple minimum 4K read but rather a 128K minimum because all Btrfs compressed files use 128K extent size; is then decompressed, and then requires reading csum tree and computing csum on the read to compare. Ordinarily this is cheap but in this situation possibly it's resulting in a lot of extra congestion, but this is the limit of my knowledge so it's just speculation. Btrfs write amplification is a known issue (wandering trees problem). But that appears to not be the issue in this example. It might be this problem is better dealt with by cgroupsv2 to protect certain tasks from reclaim, and thus reduce the problem on any file system. But Btrfs alone (for now) does have more sophisticated cgroupvs2 IO isolation control as well. https://www.spinics.net/lists/cgroups/msg24743.html The upstream GNOME and KDE developers are aware of the loss of responsiveness problem and have done quite a lot of preliminary work in GNOME 3.34 with more work on the way. https://blogs.gnome.org/benzea/2019/10/01/gnome-3-34-is-now-managed-using-systemd/ You can today take advantage of this cgroupsv2 work by running resource hungry tasks as a systemd user unit in Fedora 31. https://blogs.gnome.org/benzea/2019/10/01/gnome-3-34-is-now-managed-using-systemd/#comment-14833 I expect in the next 6-12 months (it's a guesstimate) there will be additional work in GNOME to protect the user session or what I vaguely call the "GUI stack" from reclaim, and thus improve its responsiveness at the expense of the resource hungry process.

Another resource, quite long but has a tl;dr, and reviewed by some of the cgroups/resource control folks: https://chrisdown.name/2018/01/02/in-defence-of-swap.html I'll use somewhat technically sloppy language, but hopefully a useful metaphor: there's incidental swap and heavy swap. Incidental swap is when some file or anonymous page really isn't needed, and it's good to evict it to free up memory. But in the case of heavy swap (or even reclaim), not at all incidental, it becomes a serious performance impediment. The reality is that there are some tasks that just take gobs of memory and swap isn't a good substitute. But some swap is useful for freeing up memory for things that need to stay in memory. I'm finding for the incidental swap need, swap-on-ZRAM is quite useful. You are exchanging an IO bound task for a memory+CPU task; also it forces such pages to be pinned into memory. So there's no free lunch. Conservative use would be a ZRAM device around 1/4 of RAM up to a max of 50% RAM. It's not bad or wrong to use more, it's just that some workloads, like the webkitgtk example, have such significant need that it'll actually turn 1/2 of memory into swap, which in effect means you have 50% less RAM for that task. It actually makes the problem worse. Really, the near term is a) build with flags that cause fewer resources to be used in the firist place, or b) build in a systemd user session and limit resources that way, or c) buy more RAM, or d) use conventional swap partition, possibly with zswap to leave the most frequent pages in a small RAM cache pool, that's big enough for the task to eventually complete and just suffer with the ensuing lack of GUI responsiveness. Anyway, it's a bit complicated. And lots of moving parts. And probably needs more sophisticate use of perf and maybe even bpf could be useful in figuring where the various bottlenecks are. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1833281 Title: System freeze when memory is put on SWAP in Linux >4.10.x Status in Linux: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm reporting this since it's reproduceable the 70% of the time.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1833281] Re: System freeze when memory is put on SWAP in Linux >4.10.x
It seems that zram mitigates the problem for me during a work day. As long as the system doesn't have to write swap to the disk, it seems fine. The longer I use the system, the sooner it is running out of (z)ram and swapping also to disk. As soon as this happens, I get these freezes again. I have the feeling, that the amount of swapped out data that is swapped at once is causing this. Seems like I/O is blocking to me.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1833281] Re: System freeze when memory is put on SWAP in Linux >4.10.x
Can confirm this on Kubuntu 19.10 on a Core i5-4310U. My RAM is fairly big enough for what I'm doing everyday, but as soon as the tiniest swapping occurs, it renders the machine quite unusable - stuttering window animations, stuttering/hanging mouse cursor, often for 1-2 minutes. As I can see, the bug is already marked as confirmed, so I just want to put this for the record. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1833281 Title: System freeze when memory is put on SWAP in Linux >4.10.x Status in Linux: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm reporting this since it's reproduceable the 70% of the time.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1833281] Re: System freeze when memory is put on SWAP in Linux >4.10.x
I'm experiencing the same issue since I upgraded to Kernel 5.3.0 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS via HWE stack. This still does not happen with kernel 4.15 and iirc didn't happen with Kernel 5.0.0 (which got replaced with 5.3.0 through the HWE stack). I see a heavy increase in the swap file usage after a freeze, the swap file is located on the internal drive of my surface pro 3. If the swapping starts, it uses up to 500 MB at once, while with kernel 4.15 swapping happens later and even then uses only some few MB. I got 8 GB of RAM, I've set vm.swappiness to 40 instead of 60. The freezes got a bit mitigated after I've reset the gnome settings via gnome-tweaks, and enabled trim on the swap partition, but still happen and tend to increase after a while. I'll try to enable zram and see if that helps mitigating it even more, so it's not interrupting the workflow on this device. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1833281 Title: System freeze when memory is put on SWAP in Linux >4.10.x Status in Linux: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm reporting this since it's reproduceable the 70% of the time.

First of all, did you reset all your custom sysctls to default values? 1) One user (ilfat@) reported that: 1.1) on kernels 4.19.57 and Ubuntu kernel 4.15.0-54 his system did not swap correctly: all memory was full but only a small part of the swap was used, that lead to freezes 1.2) on kernels 4.19.67 and Ubuntu kernels 4.15.0-60, 4.15.0-62 systemd swaps in general normally, but he tweaked vm.watermark_scale_factor to make it swap better 1.3) Ilfat had exactly the same problem on both ext4 and btrfs So, something was fixed in upstream, backported to LTS kernel 4.19 and to Ubuntu kernel. I don't know what. And that issue is 100% not in BTRFS but is another problem or another aspect of the problem. 2) I did not see much difference between Ubuntu kernels 54 and 60, 62 in what is described in comment#51. So, that mystereous fix did not help. 3) another user (anreas@) reports the same as in (2): https://forum.rosalinux.ru/viewtopic.php?p=101903&sid=621857320f4d1a566e0cfa6e80ff4a8c#p101903 4) trying to overcome issues from comment#51, I built Ubuntu kernel 4.15.0 with 2 pathes: * https://abf.io/mikhailnov/kernel-desktop-4.15/blob/master/le9-rosa.patch * https://abf.io/mikhailnov/kernel-desktop-4.15/blob/master/Chromium-OS-low-memory-patchset.patch and set kernel options: # https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196729#c36 vm.watermark_scale_factor=100 vm.unevictable_activefile_kbytes=10 #vm.swappiness=80 # https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=263561#c16 # Disable swap read-ahead vm.page-cluster=0 After that, I _thank_ it became a bit better (I cannot prove it by numbers, just was unbale to make the system become inresponsive, but LA remained the same), but unfortunately the main user of that notebook did not use it for some days and so right now I can't say that according to her feedback the situation has improved and the system does not microfreeze from time to time anymore. Let's wait a bit more. And still that may be a coincidence, not the result of patches and/or tweaked sysctls. I was able to dead lock that system by openning too many tabs in Chromium, but that is not what those patches should have solved. nohang/earlymoon would have probably helped if it was used. > > Mikhail, I have a spare laptop which I can setup for you for tests.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1833281]
On an unrelated note(but since btrfs was thought to be a problem at some point), I've discovered that btrfs with zstd:5 (or worse zstd:15) can cause (at least) mouse cursor stuttering(like it was skipping frames), while zstd:1 doesn't(likely because of the low CPU usage during compression), regardless of how fast/many writes are happening on the SSD(2-6M/s with zstd:15, 38-50+M/s with zstd:1), apparently due to high CPU usage during the compression. (zstd unspecified means zstd:3 aka default) Normal CPU usage by itself(eg. during compiling) doesn't cause such stuttering though. I've tested this on a Lenovo Ideapad Z575, 16G RAM, Kingston SSD SA400S37240G firmware SBFK71F1, and I've personally switched to zstd:1 ie. ``` diff --git a/fs/btrfs/zstd.c b/fs/btrfs/zstd.c index 6b9e29d050f3..02ffdb27c360 100644 --- a/fs/btrfs/zstd.c +++ b/fs/btrfs/zstd.c @@ -22,7 +22,7 @@ #define ZSTD_BTRFS_MAX_WINDOWLOG 17 #define ZSTD_BTRFS_MAX_INPUT (1 << ZSTD_BTRFS_MAX_WINDOWLOG) -#define ZSTD_BTRFS_DEFAULT_LEVEL 3 +#define ZSTD_BTRFS_DEFAULT_LEVEL 1 #define ZSTD_BTRFS_MAX_LEVEL 15 /* 307s to avoid pathologically clashing with transaction commit */ #define ZSTD_BTRFS_RECLAIM_JIFFIES (307 * HZ) ``` but zstd:1 in /etc/fstab should also work, unless using too old kernel that doesn't know about it (hence why I prefer using the patch anyway) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1833281 Title: System freeze when memory is put on SWAP in Linux >4.10.x Status in Linux: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm reporting this since it's reproduceable the 70% of the time.

I am facing the following issue on this [1] hardware: - when new tabs are openned in Chromium, swap (on SSD) is not used, 0K of swap is used. After about 2.5 GB out of total 4 GB RAM becomes used, about 15-50 MB of swap can be used, sometimes up to ~570 MB, but not more; - this leads to that Load Everage bumps from normal ~0.9 to 9-15 when loading a new tab in Chromium; - so the system in general freezes from time to time when working in the web browser and switching between tabs and/or openning new ones I have run your program read_vmstat (./read_vmstat vmstat.log 5s) and then ran a script that openned many tabs in Chromium, a new tab each 5s; after all tabs were openned, about ~3.5 GB of RAM became used, but only about 15 MB were swapped; then I ctrl+c'ed ./read_vmstat. Collected log is attached. Kernel was 4.15.0-58-generic in Ubuntu.

If I launch Cities: Skylines with no swap space, things run well performance wise until I get an OOM - and it all dies - which is expected. When I turn on swap to /dev/sda2 which resides on an SSD, I get complete system freezes while swap is being accessed. The first swap was after loading a saved game, then launching kmail in the background. This caused ~500Mb to be swapped to /dev/sda2 on an SSD. The system froze for about 8 minutes - barely being able to move the mouse. The HDD LED was on constantly during the entire time. To hopefully rule out the above glibc issue, I started the game via jemalloc - but experienced even more severe freezes while swapping. I gave up waiting after 13 minutes of non-responsiveness - not even being able to move the mouse properly. During these hangs, I could typed into a Konsole window, and some of the typing took 3+ minutes to display on the screen (yay for buffers?). I have tested this with both the default vm.swappiness values, as well as the following: vm.swappiness = 1 vm.min_free_kbytes = 32768 vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 60 I noticed that when I do eventually get screen updates, all 8 cpus (4 cores / 2 threads) show 100% CPU usage - and kswapd is right up there in the process list for CPU usage. Sadly I haven't been able to capture this information fully yet due to said unresponsiveness.

A small update on this. I tried another distribution with the same kernel version, and this does not happen... I don't really know why. 0 times out of 10 this does not happen. Also, when this occurs, triggering the OOM with SYSRQ+F also fixes the issues, but shows that no swap memory was being used, like it couldn't swap properly...?

However, I'm not experiencing this on my laptop using the same tests. My laptop is an Intel one, while my desktop is an AMD Ryzen platform. Here are the specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 no OC GPU: AMD RX 580 8GB SSD: Crucial MX500 500GB MOBO: MSI B350M Grenade RAM: 8GB HyperX Kingston 2667Mhz Ubuntu version: 18.04 LTS, backports repo enabled Kernel version: 4.18.0-18, official ubuntu repo Bios settings: Default Additional info: Maybe I'm not 100% sure, but I noticed when using the 5.0.0-17 generic kernel, the lockups seem to still happen, but they recover eventually. Happened only a few times though... But will always be frozen for at least 30 seconds, differently from my intel laptop where those do occur. The SSD make is the same. I bought two of these, they got also the same amount of RAM. In my laptop those do not occur at all. Swapping memory even huge quantities like 1GB or more, do not produce any issues. Tests made: For testing this behaviour I tried: - Compiling the chromium-browser source code (takes up a lot of system RAM) - Used the "stress" command, using a specific amount of memory to decide how many it will be swapped, and here I noticed that even small quantities like a couple of megabytes will cause the system to freeze the 70% of the times Example: "stress --vm 1 --vm-bytes=7G" What should happen: I expect system slowdowns when swapping out memory since I do not have enough RAM, but unlikely when using Windows or my laptop with the same Linux version, not a completely unusuable environment. The swap partition is in both cases on an SSD. Reproduceability: 70% of the times Additional info again: I'm not sure this is due to any hardware failure, my SSD health is fine, as my CPU and RAM.

Summary: In different circumstances, when the systems starts to swap out RAM memory, even small amounts, the system becomes completely unusuable and the screen freezes up, no mouse movement, no TTY access or SSH access can be made, only SYSRQ keys seem to do something (only reboot, so REISUB worked so far though, OOM is useless since the memory/swap is not even full) The I/O Disk led is stuck to 100% in ALL the following cases when this happens. So far: - This happens even when only ZRAM is enabled, and no swap partition is used. - Happens when ZSWAP is used with a swap partition - Happens also when a partition without zram or zswap is used - Maybe it's AMD specific? However, I'm not experiencing this on my laptop using the same tests. My laptop is an Intel one, while my desktop is an AMD Ryzen platform. Here are the specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 no OC GPU: AMD RX 580 8GB SSD: Crucial MX500 500GB MOBO: MSI B350M Grenade RAM: 8GB HyperX Kingston 2667Mhz Ubuntu version: 18.04 LTS, backports repo enabled Kernel version: 4.18.0-18, official ubuntu repo Bios settings: Default Additional info: Maybe I'm not 100% sure, but I noticed when using the 5.0.0-17 generic kernel, the lockups seem to still happen, but they recover eventually. Happened only a few times though... But will always be frozen for at least 30 seconds, differently from my intel laptop where those do occur. The SSD make is the same. I bought two of these, they got also the same amount of RAM. In my laptop those do not occur at all. Swapping memory even huge quantities like 1GB or more, do not produce any issues. Tests made: For testing this behaviour I tried: - Compiling the chromium-browser source code (takes up a lot of system RAM) - Used the "stress" command, using a specific amount of memory to decide how many it will be swapped, and here I noticed that even small quantities like a couple of megabytes will cause the system to freeze the 70% of the times Example: "stress --vm 1 --vm-bytes=7G" What should happen: I expect system slowdowns when swapping out memory since I do not have enough RAM, but unlikely when using Windows or my laptop with the same Linux version, not a completely unusuable environment. The swap partition is in both cases on an SSD. Reproduceability: 70% of the times Additional info again: I'm not sure this is due to any hardware failure, my SSD health is fine, as my CPU and RAM.
