Wen Congyang b023f46813 memory-hotplug: skip HWPoisoned page when offlining pages
hwpoisoned may be set when we offline a page by the sysfs interface
/sys/devices/system/memory/soft_offline_page or
/sys/devices/system/memory/hard_offline_page. If we don't clear
this flag when onlining pages, this page can't be freed, and will
not in free list. So we can't offline these pages again. So we
should skip such page when offlining pages.

Rabin Vincent 377e4f1676 mm: show migration types in show_mem
This is useful to diagnose the reason for page allocation failure for
cases where there appear to be several free pages.

Example, with this alloc_pages(GFP_ATOMIC) failure:

 swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0x0
 ...
 Mem-info:
 Normal per-cpu:
 CPU    0: hi:   90, btch:  15 usd:  48
 CPU    1: hi:   90, btch:  15 usd:  21
 active_anon:0 inactive_anon:0 isolated_anon:0
  active_file:0 inactive_file:84 isolated_file:0
  unevictable:0 dirty:0 writeback:0 unstable:0
  free:4026 slab_reclaimable:75 slab_unreclaimable:484
  mapped:0 shmem:0 pagetables:0 bounce:0
 Normal free:16104kB min:2296kB low:2868kB high:3444kB active_anon:0kB
 inactive_anon:0kB active_file:0kB inactive_file:336kB unevictable:0kB

 bounce:0kB writeback_tmp:0kB pages_scanned:0 all_unreclaimable? no
 lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0

Before the patch, it's hard (for me, at least) to say why all these free
chunks weren't considered for allocation:

 Normal: 0*4kB 0*8kB 0*16kB 0*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 1*256kB 1*512kB
 1*1024kB 1*2048kB 3*4096kB = 16128kB

After the patch, it's obvious that the reason is that all of these are
in the MIGRATE_CMA (C) freelist:

 Normal: 0*4kB 0*8kB 0*16kB 0*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 1*256kB (C) 1*512kB
 (C) 1*1024kB (C) 1*2048kB (C) 3*4096kB (C) = 16128kB

Ingo Molnar 4fc3f1d66b mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable
rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() appears to be too
careful about locking the anon vma: while it needs protection
against anon vma list modifications, it does not need exclusive
access to the list itself.

Transforming this exclusive lock to a read-locked rwsem removes
a global lock from the hot path of page-migration intense
threaded workloads which can cause pathological performance like
this:

With this change applied the profile is now nicely flat
and there's no anon-vma related scheduling/blocking.

Rename anon_vma_[un]lock() => anon_vma_[un]lock_write(),
to make it clearer that it's an exclusive write-lock in
that case - suggested by Rik van Riel.

Mel Gorman b32967ff10 mm: numa: Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case.
Note: This is very heavily based on a patch from Peter Zijlstra with
	fixes from Ingo Molnar, Hugh Dickins and Johannes Weiner.  That patch
	put a lot of migration logic into mm/huge_memory.c where it does
	not belong. This version puts tries to share some of the migration
	logic with migrate_misplaced_page.  However, it should be noted
	that now migrate.c is doing more with the pagetable manipulation
	than is preferred. The end result is barely recognisable so as
	before, the signed-offs had to be removed but will be re-added if
	the original authors are ok with it.

Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case.

It uses the page lock to serialize. No migration pte dance is
necessary because the pte is already unmapped when we decide
to migrate.

Mel Gorman b8593bfda1 mm: sched: Adapt the scanning rate if a NUMA hinting fault does not migrate
The PTE scanning rate and fault rates are two of the biggest sources of
system CPU overhead with automatic NUMA placement.  Ideally a proper policy
would detect if a workload was properly placed, schedule and adjust the
PTE scanning rate accordingly. We do not track the necessary information
to do that but we at least know if we migrated or not.

This patch scans slower if a page was not migrated as the result of a
NUMA hinting fault up to sysctl_numa_balancing_scan_period_max which is
now higher than the previous default. Once every minute it will reset
the scanner in case of phase changes.

This is hilariously crude and the numbers are arbitrary. Workloads will
converge quite slowly in comparison to what a proper policy should be able
to do. On the plus side, we will chew up less CPU for workloads that have
no need for automatic balancing.

Mel Gorman e42c8ff299 mm: numa: Use a two-stage filter to restrict pages being migrated for unlikely task<->node relationships
Note: This two-stage filter was taken directly from the sched/numa patch
	"sched, numa, mm: Add the scanning page fault machinery" but is
	only a partial extraction. As the end result is not necessarily
	recognisable, the signed-offs-by had to be removed. Will be added
	back if requested.

While it is desirable that all threads in a process run on its home
node, this is not always possible or necessary. There may be more
threads than exist within the node or the node might over-subscribed
with unrelated processes.

This can cause a situation whereby a page gets migrated off its home
node because the threads clearing pte_numa were running off-node. This
patch uses page->last_nid to build a two-stage filter before pages get
migrated to avoid problems with short or unlikely task<->node
relationships.

If there are a large number of NUMA hinting faults and all of them

Mel Gorman 9532fec118 mm: numa: Migrate pages handled during a pmd_numa hinting fault
To say that the PMD handling code was incorrectly transferred from autonuma
is an understatement. The intention was to handle a PMDs worth of pages
in the same fault and effectively batch the taking of the PTL and page
migration. The copied version instead has the impact of clearing a number
of pte_numa PTE entries and whether any page migration takes place depends
on racing. This just happens to work in some cases.

This patch handles pte_numa faults in batch when a pmd_numa fault is
handled. The pages are migrated if they are currently misplaced.
Essentially this is making an assumption that NUMA locality is
on a PMD boundary but that could be addressed by only setting
pmd_numa if all the pages within that PMD are on the same node
if necessary.

Mel Gorman 03c5a6e163 mm: numa: Add pte updates, hinting and migration stats
It is tricky to quantify the basic cost of automatic NUMA placement in a
meaningful manner. This patch adds some vmstats that can be used as part
of a basic costing model.

u    = basic unit = sizeof(void *)
Ca   = cost of struct page access = sizeof(struct page) / u
Cpte = Cost PTE access = Ca
Cupdate = Cost PTE update = (2 * Cpte) + (2 * Wlock)
	where Cpte is incurred twice for a read and a write and Wlock
	is a constant representing the cost of taking or releasing a
	lock
Cnumahint = Cost of a minor page fault = some high constant e.g. 1000
Cpagerw = Cost to read or write a full page = Ca + PAGE_SIZE/u
Ci = Cost of page isolation = Ca + Wi
	where Wi is a constant that should reflect the approximate cost
	of the locking operation
Cpagecopy = Cpagerw + (Cpagerw * Wnuma) + Ci + (Ci * Wnuma)
	where Wnuma is the approximate NUMA factor. 1 is local. 1.2
	would imply that remote accesses are 20% more expensive

Balancing cost = Cpte * numa_pte_updates +
		Cnumahint * numa_hint_faults +
		Ci * numa_pages_migrated +
		Cpagecopy * numa_pages_migrated

Note that numa_pages_migrated is used as a measure of how many pages
were isolated even though it would miss pages that failed to migrate. A
vmstat counter could have been added for it but the isolation cost is
pretty marginal in comparison to the overall cost so it seemed overkill.

The ideal way to measure automatic placement benefit would be to count
the number of remote accesses versus local accesses and do something like

	benefit = (remote_accesses_before - remove_access_after) * Wnuma

but the information is not readily available. As a workload converges, the
expection would be that the number of remote numa hints would reduce to 0.

	convergence = numa_hint_faults_local / numa_hint_faults
		where this is measured for the last N number of
		numa hints recorded. When the workload is fully
		converged the value is 1.

This can measure if the placement policy is converging and how fast it is
doing it.

NOTE: Once again there is a lot of patch stealing and the end result
	is sufficiently different that I had to drop the signed-offs.
	Will re-add if the original authors are ok with that.

This patch adds another mbind() flag to request "lazy migration".  The
flag, MPOL_MF_LAZY, modifies MPOL_MF_MOVE* such that the selected
pages are marked PROT_NONE. The pages will be migrated in the fault
path on "first touch", if the policy dictates at that time.

"Lazy Migration" will allow testing of migrate-on-fault via mbind().
Also allows applications to specify that only subsequently touched
pages be migrated to obey new policy, instead of all pages in range.
This can be useful for multi-threaded applications working on a
large shared data area that is initialized by an initial thread
resulting in all pages on one [or a few, if overflowed] nodes.
After PROT_NONE, the pages in regions assigned to the worker threads
will be automatically migrated local to the threads on 1st touch.

Lee Schermerhorn 771fb4d806 mm: mempolicy: Check for misplaced page
This patch provides a new function to test whether a page resides
on a node that is appropriate for the mempolicy for the vma and
address where the page is supposed to be mapped.  This involves
looking up the node where the page belongs.  So, the function
returns that node so that it may be used to allocated the page
without consulting the policy again.

A subsequent patch will call this function from the fault path.
Because of this, I don't want to go ahead and allocate the page, e.g.,
via alloc_page_vma() only to have to free it if it has the correct
policy.  So, I just mimic the alloc_page_vma() node computation
logic--sort of.

Note:  we could use this function to implement a MPOL_MF_STRICT
behavior when migrating pages to match mbind() mempolicy--e.g.,
to ensure that pages in an interleaved range are reinterleaved
rather than left where they are when they reside on any page in

This allows an application to prepare for a new phase of operation
where different regions of shared storage will be assigned to
worker threads, w/o changing policy.  Note that we could just use
"default" policy in this case.  However, this also allows an
application to request that pages be migrated, only if necessary,
to follow any arbitrary policy that might currently apply to a
range of pages, without knowing the policy, or without specifying
multiple mbind()s for ranges with different policies.

In order to facilitate a lazy -- fault driven -- migration of pages, create
a special transient PAGE_NUMA variant, we can then use the 'spurious'
protection faults to drive our migrations from.

The meaning of PAGE_NUMA depends on the architecture but on x86 it is
effectively PROT_NONE. Actual PROT_NONE mappings will not generate these
NUMA faults for the reason that the page fault code checks the permission on
the VMA (and will throw a segmentation fault on actual PROT_NONE mappings),
before it ever calls handle_mm_fault.

Mel Gorman 397487db69 mm: compaction: Add scanned and isolated counters for compaction
Compaction already has tracepoints to count scanned and isolated pages
but it requires that ftrace be enabled and if that information has to be
written to disk then it can be disruptive. This patch adds vmstat counters
for compaction called compact_migrate_scanned, compact_free_scanned and
compact_isolated.

With these counters, it is possible to define a basic cost model for
compaction. This approximates of how much work compaction is doing and can
be compared that with an oprofile showing TLB misses and see if the cost of
compaction is being offset by THP for example. Minimally a compaction patch
can be evaluated in terms of whether it increases or decreases cost. The
basic cost model looks like this

Fundamental unit u:	a word	sizeof(void *)

Ca  = cost of struct page access = sizeof(struct page) / u

Cmc = Cost migrate page copy = (Ca + PAGE_SIZE/u) * 2
Cmf = Cost migrate failure   = Ca * 2
Ci  = Cost page isolation    = (Ca + Wi)
	where Wi is a constant that should reflect the approximate
	cost of the locking operation.

Csm = Cost migrate scanning = Ca
Csf = Cost free    scanning = Ca

Overall cost =	(Csm * compact_migrate_scanned) +
	      	(Csf * compact_free_scanned)    +
	      	(Ci  * compact_isolated)	+
		(Cmc * pgmigrate_success)	+
		(Cmf * pgmigrate_failed)

Where the values are read from /proc/vmstat.

This is very basic and ignores certain costs such as the allocation cost
to do a migrate page copy but any improvement to the model would still
use the same vmstat counters.

Ingo Molnar 1233d58821 mm: Optimize the TLB flush of sys_mprotect() and change_protection() users
Reuse the NUMA code's 'modified page protections' count that
change_protection() computes and skip the TLB flush if there's
no changes to a range that sys_mprotect() modifies.

Given that mprotect() already optimizes the same-flags case
I expected this optimization to dominantly trigger on
CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING=y kernels - but even with that feature
disabled it triggers rather often.

There's two reasons for that:

1)

While sys_mprotect() already optimizes the same-flag case:

        if (newflags == oldflags) {
                *pprev = vma;
                return 0;
        }

and this test works in many cases, but it is too sharp in some
others, where it differentiates between protection values that the
underlying PTE format makes no distinction about, such as
PROT_EXEC == PROT_READ on x86.

2)

Even where the pte format over vma flag changes necessiates a
modification of the pagetables, there might be no pagetables
yet to modify: they might not be instantiated yet.

During a regular desktop bootup this optimization hits a couple
of hundred times. During a Java test I measured thousands of
hits.

So this optimization improves sys_mprotect() in general, not just
CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING=y kernels.

[ We could further increase the efficiency of this optimization if
  change_pte_range() and change_huge_pmd() was a bit smarter about
  recognizing exact-same-value protection masks - when the hardware
  can do that safely. This would probably further speed up mprotect(). ]

Mel Gorman 4fd017708c mm: Check if PTE is already allocated during page fault
With transparent hugepage support, handle_mm_fault() has to be careful
that a normal PMD has been established before handling a PTE fault. To
achieve this, it used __pte_alloc() directly instead of pte_alloc_map
as pte_alloc_map is unsafe to run against a huge PMD. pte_offset_map()
is called once it is known the PMD is safe.

pte_alloc_map() is smart enough to check if a PTE is already present
before calling __pte_alloc but this check was lost. As a consequence,
PTEs may be allocated unnecessarily and the page table lock taken.
Thi useless PTE does get cleaned up but it's a performance hit which
is visible in page_test from aim9.

This patch simply re-adds the check normally done by pte_alloc_map to
check if the PTE needs to be allocated before taking the page table
lock. The effect is noticable in page_test from aim9.

accessible anyway by the CPU, eg. a _PAGE_PROTNONE page table entry,
there is no need to flush the TLB on remote CPUs.

Rik van Riel cef23d9db6 mm,generic: only flush the local TLB in ptep_set_access_flags
The function ptep_set_access_flags is only ever used to upgrade
access permissions to a page. That means the only negative side
effect of not flushing remote TLBs is that other CPUs may incur
spurious page faults, if they happen to access the same address,
and still have a PTE with the old permissions cached in their
TLB.

Having another CPU maybe incur a spurious page fault is faster
than always incurring the cost of a remote TLB flush, so replace
the remote TLB flush with a purely local one.

This should be safe on every architecture that correctly
implements flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault() to actually invalidate
the local TLB entry that caused a page fault, as well as on
architectures where the hardware invalidates TLB entries that
cause page faults.

In the unlikely event that you are hitting what appears to be
an infinite loop of page faults, and 'git bisect' took you to
this changeset, your architecture needs to implement
flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault to actually flush the TLB entry.

Christoph Lameter 3c58346525 slab: Simplify bootstrap
The nodelists field in kmem_cache is pointing to the first unused
object in the array field when bootstrap is complete.

A problem with the current approach is that the statically sized
kmem_cache structure use on boot can only contain NR_CPUS entries.
If the number of nodes plus the number of cpus is greater then we
would overwrite memory following the kmem_cache_boot definition.

Increase the size of the array field to ensure that also the node
pointers fit into the array field.

Once we do that we no longer need the kmem_cache_nodelists
array and we can then also use that structure elsewhere.

Marek Szyprowski 387870f2d6 mm: dmapool: use provided gfp flags for all dma_alloc_coherent() calls
dmapool always calls dma_alloc_coherent() with GFP_ATOMIC flag,
regardless the flags provided by the caller. This causes excessive
pruning of emergency memory pools without any good reason. Additionaly,
on ARM architecture any driver which is using dmapools will sooner or
later  trigger the following error:
"ERROR: 256 KiB atomic DMA coherent pool is too small!
Please increase it with coherent_pool= kernel parameter!".
Increasing the coherent pool size usually doesn't help much and only
delays such error, because all GFP_ATOMIC DMA allocations are always
served from the special, very limited memory pool.

This patch changes the dmapool code to correctly use gfp flags provided
by the dmapool caller.

Linus Torvalds caf491916b Revert "revert "Revert "mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD""" and associated damage
This reverts commits a50915394f and
d7c3b937bd.

This is a revert of a revert of a revert.  In addition, it reverts the
even older i915 change to stop using the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag due to the
original commits in linux-next.

It turns out that the original patch really was bogus, and that the
original revert was the correct thing to do after all.  We thought we
had fixed the problem, and then reverted the revert, but the problem
really is fundamental: waking up kswapd simply isn't the right thing to
do, and direct reclaim sometimes simply _is_ the right thing to do.

When certain allocations fail, we simply should try some direct reclaim,
and if that fails, fail the allocation.  That's the right thing to do
for THP allocations, which can easily fail, and the GPU allocations want
to do that too.

So starting kswapd is sometimes simply wrong, and removing the flag that
said "don't start kswapd" was a mistake.  Let's hope we never revisit
this mistake again - and certainly not this many times ;)

the compaction code in kswapd but left in the zone congestion clearing,
which now happens unconditionally on higher order reclaim.

This messes up the reclaim throttling logic for zones with
dirty/writeback pages, where zones should only lose their congestion
status when their watermarks have been restored.

Remove the clearing from the zone compaction section entirely.  The
preliminary zone check and the reclaim loop in kswapd will clear it if
the zone is considered balanced.

Mel Gorman 18a2f371f5 tmpfs: fix shared mempolicy leak
This fixes a regression in 3.7-rc, which has since gone into stable.

Commit 00442ad04a ("mempolicy: fix a memory corruption by refcount
imbalance in alloc_pages_vma()") changed get_vma_policy() to raise the
refcount on a shmem shared mempolicy; whereas shmem_alloc_page() went
on expecting alloc_page_vma() to drop the refcount it had acquired.
This deserves a rework: but for now fix the leak in shmem_alloc_page().

Hugh: shmem_swapin() did not need a fix, but surely it's clearer to use
the same refcounting there as in shmem_alloc_page(), delete its onstack
mempolicy, and the strange mpol_cond_copy() and __mpol_cond_copy() -
those were invented to let swapin_readahead() make an unknown number of
calls to alloc_pages_vma() with one mempolicy; but since 00442ad04a,
alloc_pages_vma() has kept refcount in balance, so now no problem.

Johannes Weiner c702418f8a mm: vmscan: do not keep kswapd looping forever due to individual uncompactable zones
When a zone meets its high watermark and is compactable in case of
higher order allocations, it contributes to the percentage of the node's
memory that is considered balanced.

This requirement, that a node be only partially balanced, came about
when kswapd was desparately trying to balance tiny zones when all bigger
zones in the node had plenty of free memory.  Arguably, the same should
apply to compaction: if a significant part of the node is balanced
enough to run compaction, do not get hung up on that tiny zone that
might never get in shape.

When the compaction logic in kswapd is reached, we know that at least
25% of the node's memory is balanced properly for compaction (see
zone_balanced and pgdat_balanced).  Remove the individual zone checks
that restart the kswapd cycle.

Otherwise, we may observe more endless looping in kswapd where the
compaction code loops back to reclaim because of a single zone and
reclaim does nothing because the node is considered balanced overall.

Commit 0bf380bc70 ("mm: compaction: check pfn_valid when entering a
new MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block during isolation for migration") added a
check for pfn_valid() when isolating pages for migration as the scanner
does not necessarily start pageblock-aligned.

Since commit c89511ab2f ("mm: compaction: Restart compaction from near
where it left off"), the free scanner has the same problem.  This patch
makes sure that the pfn range passed to isolate_freepages_block() is
within the same block so that pfn_valid() checks are unnecessary.

In answer to Henrik's wondering why others have not reported this:
reproducing this requires a large enough hole with the right aligment to
have compaction walk into a PFN range with no memmap.  Size and
alignment depends in the memory model - 4M for FLATMEM and 128M for
SPARSEMEM on x86.  It needs a "lucky" machine.

Mel Gorman 782fd30406 mm: avoid waking kswapd for THP allocations when compaction is deferred or contended
With "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction
based on failures" reverted, Zdenek Kabelac reported the following

  Hmm,  so it's just took longer to hit the problem and observe
  kswapd0 spinning on my CPU again - it's not as endless like before -
  but still it easily eats minutes - it helps to turn off  Firefox
  or TB  (memory hungry apps) so kswapd0 stops soon - and restart
  those apps again.  (And I still have like >1GB of cached memory)

  kswapd0         R  running task        0    30      2 0x00000000
  Call Trace:
    preempt_schedule+0x42/0x60

    drop_super+0x22/0x30
    prune_super+0x149/0x1b0
    shrink_slab+0xba/0x510

The sysrq+m indicates the system has no swap so it'll never reclaim
anonymous pages as part of reclaim/compaction.  That is one part of the
problem but not the root cause as file-backed pages could also be
reclaimed.

The likely underlying problem is that kswapd is woken up or kept awake
for each THP allocation request in the page allocator slow path.

If compaction fails for the requesting process then compaction will be
deferred for a time and direct reclaim is avoided.  However, if there
are a storm of THP requests that are simply rejected, it will still be
the the case that kswapd is awake for a prolonged period of time as
pgdat->kswapd_max_order is updated each time.  This is noticed by the
main kswapd() loop and it will not call kswapd_try_to_sleep().  Instead
it will loopp, shrinking a small number of pages and calling
shrink_slab() on each iteration.

This patch defers when kswapd gets woken up for THP allocations.  For
!THP allocations, kswapd is always woken up.  For THP allocations,
kswapd is woken up iff the process is willing to enter into direct
reclaim/compaction.

Johannes Weiner 60cefed485 mm: vmscan: fix endless loop in kswapd balancing
Kswapd does not in all places have the same criteria for a balanced
zone.  Zones are only being reclaimed when their high watermark is
breached, but compaction checks loop over the zonelist again when the
zone does not meet the low watermark plus two times the size of the
allocation.  This gets kswapd stuck in an endless loop over a small
zone, like the DMA zone, where the high watermark is smaller than the
compaction requirement.

Add a function, zone_balanced(), that checks the watermark, and, for
higher order allocations, if compaction has enough free memory.  Then
use it uniformly to check for balanced zones.

This makes sure that when the compaction watermark is not met, at least
reclaim happens and progress is made - or the zone is declared
unreclaimable at some point and skipped entirely.

Mel Gorman 50694c28f1 mm: vmscan: check for fatal signals iff the process was throttled
Commit 5515061d22 ("mm: throttle direct reclaimers if PF_MEMALLOC
reserves are low and swap is backed by network storage") introduced a
check for fatal signals after a process gets throttled for network
storage.  The intention was that if a process was throttled and got
killed that it should not trigger the OOM killer.  As pointed out by
Minchan Kim and David Rientjes, this check is in the wrong place and too
broad.  If a system is in am OOM situation and a process is exiting, it
can loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath() and calling direct reclaim in a
loop.  As the fatal signal is pending it returns 1 as if it is making
forward progress and can effectively deadlock.

This patch moves the fatal_signal_pending() check after throttling to
throttle_direct_reclaim() where it belongs.  If the process is killed
while throttled, it will return immediately without direct reclaim
except now it will have TIF_MEMDIE set and will use the PFMEMALLOC
reserves.

Minchan pointed out that it may be better to direct reclaim before
returning to avoid using the reserves because there may be pages that
can easily reclaim that would avoid using the reserves.  However, we do
no such targetted reclaim and there is no guarantee that suitable pages
are available.  As it is expected that this throttling happens when
swap-over-NFS is used there is a possibility that the process will
instead swap which may allocate network buffers from the PFMEMALLOC
reserves.  Hence, in the swap-over-nfs case where a process can be
throtted and be killed it can use the reserves to exit or it can
potentially use reserves to swap a few pages and then exit.  This patch
takes the option of using the reserves if necessary to allow the process
exit quickly.

If this patch passes review it should be considered a -stable candidate
for 3.6.

Mel Gorman 82b212f400 Revert "mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD"
With "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction
based on failures" reverted, Zdenek Kabelac reported the following

  Hmm,  so it's just took longer to hit the problem and observe
  kswapd0 spinning on my CPU again - it's not as endless like before -
  but still it easily eats minutes - it helps to	turn off  Firefox
  or TB  (memory hungry apps) so kswapd0 stops soon - and restart
  those apps again.  (And I still have like >1GB of cached memory)

  kswapd0         R  running task        0    30      2 0x00000000
  Call Trace:
    preempt_schedule+0x42/0x60

    drop_super+0x22/0x30
    prune_super+0x149/0x1b0
    shrink_slab+0xba/0x510

The sysrq+m indicates the system has no swap so it'll never reclaim
anonymous pages as part of reclaim/compaction.  That is one part of the
problem but not the root cause as file-backed pages could also be
reclaimed.

The likely underlying problem is that kswapd is woken up or kept awake
for each THP allocation request in the page allocator slow path.

If compaction fails for the requesting process then compaction will be
deferred for a time and direct reclaim is avoided.  However, if there
are a storm of THP requests that are simply rejected, it will still be
the the case that kswapd is awake for a prolonged period of time as
pgdat->kswapd_max_order is updated each time.  This is noticed by the
main kswapd() loop and it will not call kswapd_try_to_sleep().  Instead
it will loopp, shrinking a small number of pages and calling
shrink_slab() on each iteration.

The temptation is to supply a patch that checks if kswapd was woken for
THP and if so ignore pgdat->kswapd_max_order but it'll be a hack and not
backed up by proper testing.  As 3.7 is very close to release and this
is not a bug we should release with, a safer path is to revert "mm:
remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD" for now and revisit it with the view to ironing
out the balance_pgdat() logic in general.

Dave Hansen ef6c5be658 fix incorrect NR_FREE_PAGES accounting (appears like memory leak)
There have been some 3.7-rc reports of vm issues, including some kswapd
bugs and, more importantly, some memory "leaks":

	http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg46187.html
	https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50181

Commit 1fb3f8ca0e ("mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page
immediately when it is made available") took split_free_page() and
reused it for the compaction code.  It does something curious with
capture_free_page() (previously known as split_free_page()):

  int capture_free_page(struct page *page, int alloc_order,
  ...
          __mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_FREE_PAGES, -(1UL << order));

  -       /* Split into individual pages */
  -       set_page_refcounted(page);
  -       split_page(page, order);
  +       if (alloc_order != order)
  +               expand(zone, page, alloc_order, order,
  +                       &zone->free_area[order], migratetype);

Note that expand() puts the pages _back_ in the allocator, but it does
not bump NR_FREE_PAGES.  We "return" 'alloc_order' worth of pages, but
we accounted for removing 'order' in the __mod_zone_page_state() call.

For the old split_page()-style use (order==alloc_order) the bug will not
trigger.  But, when called from the compaction code where we
occasionally get a larger page out of the buddy allocator than we need,
we will run in to this.

This patch simply changes the NR_FREE_PAGES manipulation to the correct
'alloc_order' instead of 'order'.

I've been able to repeatedly trigger this in my testing environment.
The amount "leaked" very closely tracks the imbalance I see in buddy
pages vs.  NR_FREE_PAGES.  I have confirmed that this patch fixes the
imbalance

Andrew Morton 5576646f3c revert "mm: fix-up zone present pages"
Revert commit 7f1290f2f2 ("mm: fix-up zone present pages")

That patch tried to fix a issue when calculating zone->present_pages,
but it caused a regression on 32bit systems with HIGHMEM.  With that
change, reset_zone_present_pages() resets all zone->present_pages to
zero, and fixup_zone_present_pages() is called to recalculate
zone->present_pages when the boot allocator frees core memory pages into
buddy allocator.  Because highmem pages are not freed by bootmem
allocator, all highmem zones' present_pages becomes zero.

Various options for improving the situation are being discussed but for
now, let's return to the 3.6 code.

Hugh Dickins 0f3c42f522 tmpfs: change final i_blocks BUG to WARNING
Under a particular load on one machine, I have hit shmem_evict_inode()'s
BUG_ON(inode->i_blocks), enough times to narrow it down to a particular
race between swapout and eviction.

It comes from the "if (freed > 0)" asymmetry in shmem_recalc_inode(),
and the lack of coherent locking between mapping's nrpages and shmem's
swapped count.  There's a window in shmem_writepage(), between lowering
nrpages in shmem_delete_from_page_cache() and then raising swapped
count, when the freed count appears to be +1 when it should be 0, and
then the asymmetry stops it from being corrected with -1 before hitting
the BUG.

One answer is coherent locking: using tree_lock throughout, without
info->lock; reasonable, but the raw_spin_lock in percpu_counter_add() on
used_blocks makes that messier than expected.  Another answer may be a
further effort to eliminate the weird shmem_recalc_inode() altogether,
but previous attempts at that failed.

So far undecided, but for now change the BUG_ON to WARN_ON: in usual
circumstances it remains a useful consistency check.

Thanks to Johannes for pointing to truncation: free_swap_and_cache()
only does a trylock on the page, so the page lock we've held since
before confirming swap is not enough to protect against truncation.

What cleanup is needed in this case? Just delete_from_swap_cache(),
which takes care of the memcg uncharge.

Will Deacon 498c228021 mm: highmem: don't treat PKMAP_ADDR(LAST_PKMAP) as a highmem address
kmap_to_page returns the corresponding struct page for a virtual address
of an arbitrary mapping.  This works by checking whether the address
falls in the pkmap region and using the pkmap page tables instead of the
linear mapping if appropriate.

Unfortunately, the bounds checking means that PKMAP_ADDR(LAST_PKMAP) is
incorrectly treated as a highmem address and we can end up walking off
the end of pkmap_page_table and subsequently passing junk to pte_page.

This patch fixes the bound check to stay within the pkmap tables.

Mel Gorman 96710098ee mm: revert "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures"
Jiri Slaby reported the following:

	(It's an effective revert of "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages
	reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures".) Given kswapd
	had hours of runtime in ps/top output yesterday in the morning
	and after the revert it's now 2 minutes in sum for the last 24h,
	I would say, it's gone.

The intention of the patch in question was to compensate for the loss of
lumpy reclaim.  Part of the reason lumpy reclaim worked is because it
aggressively reclaimed pages and this patch was meant to be a sane
compromise.

When compaction fails, it gets deferred and both compaction and
reclaim/compaction is deferred avoid excessive reclaim.  However, since
commit c654345924 ("mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD"), kswapd is woken up
each time and continues reclaiming which was not taken into account when
the patch was developed.

Attempts to address the problem ended up just changing the shape of the
problem instead of fixing it.  The release window gets closer and while
a THP allocation failing is not a major problem, kswapd chewing up a lot
of CPU is.

This patch reverts commit 83fde0f228 ("mm: vmscan: scale number of
pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures") and will be
revisited in the future.

Hugh Dickins bea8c150a7 memcg: fix hotplugged memory zone oops
When MEMCG is configured on (even when it's disabled by boot option),
when adding or removing a page to/from its lru list, the zone pointer
used for stats updates is nowadays taken from the struct lruvec.  (On
many configurations, calculating zone from page is slower.)

But we have no code to update all the lruvecs (per zone, per memcg) when
a memory node is hotadded.  Here's an extract from the oops which
results when running numactl to bind a program to a newly onlined node:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000f60
  IP:  __mod_zone_page_state+0x9/0x60
  Pid: 1219, comm: numactl Not tainted 3.6.0-rc5+ #180 Bochs Bochs
  Process numactl (pid: 1219, threadinfo ffff880039abc000, task ffff8800383c4ce0)
  Call Trace:
    __pagevec_lru_add_fn+0xdf/0x140

    lru_add_drain_cpu+0xa3/0x130
    lru_add_drain+0x2f/0x40
   ...

The natural solution might be to use a memcg callback whenever memory is
hotadded; but that solution has not been scoped out, and it happens that
we do have an easy location at which to update lruvec->zone.  The lruvec
pointer is discovered either by mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() or by
mem_cgroup_page_lruvec(), and both of those do know the right zone.

So check and set lruvec->zone in those; and remove the inadequate
attempt to set lruvec->zone from lruvec_init(), which is called before
NODE_DATA(node) has been allocated in such cases.

Ah, there was one exceptionr.  For no particularly good reason,
mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() has its own code for deciding lruvec.
Change it to use the standard mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() and
mem_cgroup_get_lru_size() too.  In fact it was already safe against such
an oops (the lru lists in danger could only be empty), but we're better
proofed against future changes this way.

I've marked this for stable (3.6) since we introduced the problem in 3.5
(now closed to stable); but I have no idea if this is the only fix
needed to get memory hotadd working with memcg in 3.6, and received no
answer when I enquired twice before.

Michal Hocko 9a5a8f19b4 memcg: oom: fix totalpages calculation for memory.swappiness==0
oom_badness() takes a totalpages argument which says how many pages are
available and it uses it as a base for the score calculation.  The value
is calculated by mem_cgroup_get_limit which considers both limit and
total_swap_pages (resp.  memsw portion of it).

This is usually correct but since fe35004fbf ("mm: avoid swapping out
with swappiness==0") we do not swap when swappiness is 0 which means
that we cannot really use up all the totalpages pages.  This in turn
confuses oom score calculation if the memcg limit is much smaller than
the available swap because the used memory (capped by the limit) is
negligible comparing to totalpages so the resulting score is too small
if adj!=0 (typically task with CAP_SYS_ADMIN or non zero oom_score_adj).
A wrong process might be selected as result.

The problem can be worked around by checking mem_cgroup_swappiness==0
and not considering swap at all in such a case.

of metrics including the memory commitment reported by the guests.  The

Tejun Heo 1db1e31b1e Merge branch 'cgroup-rmdir-updates' into cgroup/for-3.8
Pull rmdir updates into for-3.8 so that further callback updates can
be put on top.  This pull created a trivial conflict between the
following two commits.

  8c7f6edbda ("cgroup: mark subsystems with broken hierarchy support and whine if cgroups are nested for them")
  ed95779340 ("cgroup: kill cgroup_subsys->__DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs")

The former added a field to cgroup_subsys and the latter removed one
from it.  They happen to be colocated causing the conflict.  Keeping
what's added and removing what's removed resolves the conflict.

Tejun Heo b25ed609d0 cgroup: remove CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR, cgroup_exclude_rmdir() and cgroup_release_and_wakeup_rmdir()
CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR is another kludge which was added to make cgroup
destruction rollback somewhat working.  cgroup_rmdir() used to drain
CSS references and CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR and the associated waitqueue and
helpers were used to allow the task performing rmdir to wait for the
next relevant event.

Unfortunately, the wait is visible to controllers too and the
mechanism got exposed to memcg by 887032670d ("cgroup avoid permanent
sleep at rmdir").

Now that the draining and retries are gone, CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR is
unnecessary.  Remove it and all the mechanisms supporting it.  Note
that memcontrol.c changes are essentially revert of 887032670d
("cgroup avoid permanent sleep at rmdir").

Tejun Heo e93160803f cgroup: kill CSS_REMOVED
CSS_REMOVED is one of the several contortions which were necessary to
support css reference draining on cgroup removal.  All css->refcnts
which need draining should be deactivated and verified to equal zero
atomically w.r.t. css_tryget().  If any one isn't zero, all refcnts
needed to be re-activated and css_tryget() shouldn't fail in the
process.

This was achieved by letting css_tryget() busy-loop until either the
refcnt is reactivated (failed removal attempt) or CSS_REMOVED is set
(committing to removal).

Now that css refcnt draining is no longer used, there's no need for
atomic rollback mechanism.  css_tryget() simply can look at the
reference count and fail if it's deactivated - it's never getting
re-activated.

This patch removes CSS_REMOVED and updates __css_tryget() to fail if
the refcnt is deactivated.  As deactivation and removal are a single
step now, they no longer need to be protected against css_tryget()
happening from irq context.  Remove local_irq_disable/enable() from
cgroup_rmdir().

Note that this removes css_is_removed() whose only user is VM_BUG_ON()
in memcontrol.c.  We can replace it with a check on the refcnt but
given that the only use case is a debug assert, I think it's better to
simply unexport it.

v2: Comment updated and explanation on local_irq_disable/enable()
    added per Michal Hocko.

Arnd Bergmann 789306e5ad mm/slob: use min_t() to compare ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN
The definition of ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN is architecture dependent
and can be either of type size_t or int. Comparing that value

them is safe and gets rid of the warning.

Glauber Costa d8843922fb slab: Ignore internal flags in cache creation
Some flags are used internally by the allocators for management
purposes. One example of that is the CFLGS_OFF_SLAB flag that slab uses
to mark that the metadata for that cache is stored outside of the slab.

No cache should ever pass those as a creation flags. We can just ignore
this bit if it happens to be passed (such as when duplicating a cache in
the kmem memcg patches).

Because such flags can vary from allocator to allocator, we allow them
to make their own decisions on that, defining SLAB_AVAILABLE_FLAGS with
all flags that are valid at creation time.  Allocators that doesn't have
any specific flag requirement should define that to mean all flags.

Common code will mask out all flags not belonging to that set.

Michal Hocko 2ef37d3fe4 memcg: Simplify mem_cgroup_force_empty_list error handling
mem_cgroup_force_empty_list currently tries to remove all pages from
the given LRU. To prevent from temoporary failures (EBUSY returned by
mem_cgroup_move_parent) it uses a margin to the current LRU pages and
returns the true if there are still some pages left on the list.

If we consider that mem_cgroup_move_parent fails only when it is racing
with somebody else removing (uncharging) the page or when the page is
migrated then it is obvious that all those failures are only temporal
and so we can safely retry later.
Let's get rid of the safety margin and make the loop really wait for
the empty LRU. The caller should still make sure that all charges have
been removed from the res_counter because mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache
might add a page to the LRU after the list_empty check (it doesn't touch
res_counter though).
This catches most of the cases except for shmem which might call
mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache with a page which is not charged and on
the LRU yet but this was the case also without this patch. In order to
fix this we need a guarantee that try_get_mem_cgroup_from_page falls
back to the current mm's cgroup so it needs css_tryget to fail. This
will be fixed up in a later patch because it needs a help from cgroup
core (pre_destroy has to be called after css is cleared).

Although mem_cgroup_pre_destroy can still fail (if a new task or a new
sub-group appears) there is no reason to retry pre_destroy callback from
the cgroup core. This means that __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs has lost
its meaning and it can be removed.

Changes since v2
- remove __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs

Changes since v1
- use kerndoc
- be more specific about mem_cgroup_move_parent possible failures

Michal Hocko c26251f9f0 memcg: split mem_cgroup_force_empty into reclaiming and reparenting parts
mem_cgroup_force_empty did two separate things depending on free_all
parameter from the very beginning. It either reclaimed as many pages as
possible and moved the rest to the parent or just moved charges to the
parent. The first variant is used as memory.force_empty callback while
the later is used from the mem_cgroup_pre_destroy.

The whole games around gotos are far from being nice and there is no
reason to keep those two functions inside one. Let's split them and
also move the responsibility for css reference counting to their callers
to make to code easier.

Jan Kara ef5d437f71 mm: fix XFS oops due to dirty pages without buffers on s390
On s390 any write to a page (even from kernel itself) sets architecture
specific page dirty bit.  Thus when a page is written to via buffered
write, HW dirty bit gets set and when we later map and unmap the page,
page_remove_rmap() finds the dirty bit and calls set_page_dirty().

Dirtying of a page which shouldn't be dirty can cause all sorts of
problems to filesystems.  The bug we observed in practice is that
buffers from the page get freed, so when the page gets later marked as
dirty and writeback writes it, XFS crashes due to an assertion
BUG_ON(!PagePrivate(page)) in page_buffers() called from
xfs_count_page_state().

Similar problem can also happen when zero_user_segment() call from
xfs_vm_writepage() (or block_write_full_page() for that matter) set the
hardware dirty bit during writeback, later buffers get freed, and then
page unmapped.

Fix the issue by ignoring s390 HW dirty bit for page cache pages of
mappings with mapping_cap_account_dirty().  This is safe because for
such mappings when a page gets marked as writeable in PTE it is also
marked dirty in do_wp_page() or do_page_fault().  When the dirty bit is
cleared by clear_page_dirty_for_io(), the page gets writeprotected in
page_mkclean().  So pagecache page is writeable if and only if it is
dirty.

Thanks to Hugh Dickins for pointing out mapping has to have
mapping_cap_account_dirty() for things to work and proposing a cleaned
up variant of the patch.

The patch has survived about two hours of running fsx-linux on tmpfs
while heavily swapping and several days of running on out build machines
where the original problem was triggered.

Glauber Costa 1b4f59e356 slub: Commonize slab_cache field in struct page
Right now, slab and slub have fields in struct page to derive which
cache a page belongs to, but they do it slightly differently.

slab uses a field called slab_cache, that lives in the third double
word. slub, uses a field called "slab", living outside of the
doublewords area.

Ideally, we could use the same field for this. Since slub heavily makes
use of the doubleword region, there isn't really much room to move
slub's slab_cache field around. Since slab does not have such strict
placement restrictions, we can move it outside the doubleword area.

The naming used by slab, "slab_cache", is less confusing, and it is
preferred over slub's generic "slab".

Glauber Costa bcee6e2a13 mm/sl[au]b: Move print_slabinfo_header to slab_common.c
The header format is highly similar between slab and slub. The main
difference lays in the fact that slab may optionally have statistics
added here in case of CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG, while the slub will stick them
somewhere else.

By making sure that information conditionally lives inside a
globally-visible CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB switch, we can move the header
printing to a common location.

This patch moves all the common machinery to slabinfo processing
to slab_common.c. We can do better by noticing that the output is
heavily common, and having the allocators to just provide finished
information about this. But after this first step, this can be done
easier.

Will Deacon f0263d2d22 mm: highmem: export kmap_to_page for modules
Some virtio device drivers (9p) need to translate high virtual addresses
to physical addresses, which are inserted into the virtqueue for
processing by userspace.

This patch exports the kmap_to_page symbol, so that the affected drivers

In commit 0b173bc4da ("mm: kill vma flag VM_CAN_NONLINEAR") we
replaced the VM_CAN_NONLINEAR test with checking whether the mapping has
a '->remap_pages()' vm operation, but there is no guarantee that there
it even has a vm_ops pointer at all.

Add the appropriate test for NULL vm_ops.

Joonsoo Kim 837d678dc2 slub: remove one code path and reduce lock contention in __slab_free()
When we try to free object, there is some of case that we need
to take a node lock. This is the necessary step for preventing a race.
After taking a lock, then we try to cmpxchg_double_slab().
But, there is a possible scenario that cmpxchg_double_slab() is failed
with taking a lock. Following example explains it.

CPU A               CPU B
need lock
...                 need lock
...                 lock!!
lock..but spin      free success
spin...             unlock
lock!!
free fail

In this case, retry with taking a lock is occured in CPU A.
I think that in this case for CPU A,
"release a lock first, and re-take a lock if necessary" is preferable way.

There are two reasons for this.

First, this makes __slab_free()'s logic somehow simple.
With this patch, 'was_frozen = 1' is "always" handled without taking a lock.
So we can remove one code path.

Second, it may reduce lock contention.
When we do retrying, status of slab is already changed,
so we don't need a lock anymore in almost every case.
"release a lock first, and re-take a lock if necessary" policy is
helpful to this.

David Rientjes 32f8516a8c mm, mempolicy: fix printing stack contents in numa_maps
When reading /proc/pid/numa_maps, it's possible to return the contents of
the stack where the mempolicy string should be printed if the policy gets
freed from beneath us.

This happens because mpol_to_str() may return an error the
stack-allocated buffer is then printed without ever being stored.

There are two possible error conditions in mpol_to_str():

 - if the buffer allocated is insufficient for the string to be stored,
   and

 - if the mempolicy has an invalid mode.

The first error condition is not triggered in any of the callers to
mpol_to_str(): at least 50 bytes is always allocated on the stack and this
is sufficient for the string to be written.  A future patch should convert
this into BUILD_BUG_ON() since we know the maximum strlen possible, but
that's not -rc material.

The second error condition is possible if a race occurs in dropping a
reference to a task's mempolicy causing it to be freed during the read().
The slab poison value is then used for the mode and mpol_to_str() returns
-EINVAL.

This race is only possible because get_vma_policy() believes that
mm->mmap_sem protects task->mempolicy, which isn't true.  The exit path
does not hold mm->mmap_sem when dropping the reference or setting
task->mempolicy to NULL: it uses task_lock(task) instead.

Thus, it's required for the caller of a task mempolicy to hold
task_lock(task) while grabbing the mempolicy and reading it.  Callers with
a vma policy store their mempolicy earlier and can simply increment the
reference count so it's guaranteed not to be freed.

Jeff Layton 91a27b2a75 vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it
getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.

For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.

This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.

Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

 other info that might help us debug this:

 Chain exists of:
   rcu_sched_state.barrier_mutex --> cpu_hotplug.lock --> slab_mutex

  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0                    CPU1
        ----                    ----
   lock(slab_mutex);
                                lock(cpu_hotplug.lock);
                                lock(slab_mutex);
   lock(rcu_sched_state.barrier_mutex);

  *** DEADLOCK ***
=== [ cut here ] ===

This is actually a false positive. Lockdep has no way of knowing the fact
that the ABBA can actually never happen, because of special semantics of
cpu_hotplug.refcount and its handling in cpu_hotplug_begin(); the mutual
exclusion there is not achieved through mutex, but through
cpu_hotplug.refcount.

The "neither cpu_up() nor cpu_down() will proceed past cpu_hotplug_begin()
until everyone who called get_online_cpus() will call put_online_cpus()"
semantics is totally invisible to lockdep.

This patch therefore moves the unlock of slab_mutex so that rcu_barrier()
is being called with it unlocked. It has two advantages:

- it slightly reduces hold time of slab_mutex; as it's used to protect
  the cachep list, it's not necessary to hold it over kmem_cache_free()
  call any more
- it silences the lockdep false positive warning, as it avoids lockdep ever
  learning about slab_mutex -> cpu_hotplug.lock dependency

But some other filesystems (ceph, gfs2, isofs, reiserfs, xfs) are being
careless about fh_len too, in fh_to_dentry() and/or fh_to_parent(), and
could oops in the same way: add the missing fh_len checks to those.

Arnd Bergmann baaf1dd491 mm/slob: use min_t() to compare ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN
The definition of ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN is architecture dependent
and can be either of type size_t or int. Comparing that value
with ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN can cause harmless warnings on
platforms where they are different. Since both are always
small positive integer numbers, using the size_t type to compare
them is safe and gets rid of the warning.

Without this patch, building ARM collie_defconfig results in:

David Miller f5c8ad4728 mm: thp: Use more portable PMD clearing sequenece in zap_huge_pmd().
Invalidation sequences are handled in various ways on various
architectures.

One way, which sparc64 uses, is to let the set_*_at() functions accumulate
pending flushes into a per-cpu array.  Then the flush_tlb_range() et al.
calls process the pending TLB flushes.

In this regime, the __tlb_remove_*tlb_entry() implementations are
essentially NOPs.

The canonical PTE zap in mm/memory.c is:

			ptent = ptep_get_and_clear_full(mm, addr, pte,
							tlb->fullmm);
			tlb_remove_tlb_entry(tlb, pte, addr);

With a subsequent tlb_flush_mmu() if needed.

Mirror this in the THP PMD zapping using:

		orig_pmd = pmdp_get_and_clear(tlb->mm, addr, pmd);
		page = pmd_page(orig_pmd);
		tlb_remove_pmd_tlb_entry(tlb, pmd, addr);

And we properly accomodate TLB flush mechanims like the one described
above.

The transparent huge page code passes a PMD pointer in as the third
argument of update_mmu_cache(), which expects a PTE pointer.

This never got noticed because X86 implements update_mmu_cache() as a
macro and thus we don't get any type checking, and X86 is the only
architecture which supports transparent huge pages currently.

Before other architectures can support transparent huge pages properly we
need to add a new interface which will take a PMD pointer as the third
argument rather than a PTE pointer.

Yasuaki Ishimatsu d760afd4d2 memory-hotplug: suppress "Trying to free nonexistent resource <XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY>" warning
When our x86 box calls __remove_pages(), release_mem_region() shows many
warnings.  And x86 box cannot unregister iomem_resource.

  "Trying to free nonexistent resource <XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY>"

release_mem_region() has been changed to be called in each
PAGES_PER_SECTION by commit de7f0cba96 ("memory hotplug: release
memory regions in PAGES_PER_SECTION chunks").  Because powerpc registers
iomem_resource in each PAGES_PER_SECTION chunk.  But when I hot add
memory on x86 box, iomem_resource is register in each _CRS not
PAGES_PER_SECTION chunk.  So x86 box unregisters iomem_resource.

The patch fixes the problem.

Currently:

		$ grep Mlocked /proc/meminfo
		Mlocked:           19636 kB

	#define MAP_SIZE	(4 << 30)	/* 4GB */

	void *ptr = mmap(NULL, MAP_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
			 MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0);
	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		$ grep Mlocked /proc/meminfo
		Mlocked:           29844 kB

	munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		$ grep Mlocked /proc/meminfo
		Mlocked:           19636 kB

And with this patch:

David Rientjes b676b293fb mm, thp: fix mapped pages avoiding unevictable list on mlock
When a transparent hugepage is mapped and it is included in an mlock()
range, follow_page() incorrectly avoids setting the page's mlock bit and
moving it to the unevictable lru.

This is evident if you try to mlock(), munlock(), and then mlock() a
range again.  Currently:

	#define MAP_SIZE	(4 << 30)	/* 4GB */

	void *ptr = mmap(NULL, MAP_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
			 MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0);
	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		$ grep -E "Unevictable|Inactive\(anon" /proc/meminfo
		Inactive(anon):     6304 kB
		Unevictable:     4213924 kB

	munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		Inactive(anon):  4186252 kB
		Unevictable:       19652 kB

	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		Inactive(anon):  4198556 kB
		Unevictable:       21684 kB

Notice that less than 2MB was added to the unevictable list; this is
because these pages in the range are not transparent hugepages since the
4GB range was allocated with mmap() and has no specific alignment.  If
posix_memalign() were used instead, unevictable would not have grown at
all on the second mlock().

The fix is to call mlock_vma_page() so that the mlock bit is set and the
page is added to the unevictable list.  With this patch:

	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		Inactive(anon):     4056 kB
		Unevictable:     4213940 kB

	munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		Inactive(anon):  4198268 kB
		Unevictable:       19636 kB

	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		Inactive(anon):     4008 kB
		Unevictable:     4213940 kB

Wen Congyang e90bdb7f52 memory-hotplug: update memory block's state and notify userspace
remove_memory() will be called when hot removing a memory device.  But
even if offlining memory, we cannot notice it.  So the patch updates the
memory block's state and sends notification to userspace.

Additionally, the memory device may contain more than one memory block.
If the memory block has been offlined, __offline_pages() will fail.  So we
should try to offline one memory block at a time.

Thus remove_memory() also check each memory block's state.  So there is no
need to check the memory block's state before calling remove_memory().

Wen Congyang a16cee10c7 memory-hotplug: preparation to notify memory block's state at memory hot remove
remove_memory() is called in two cases:
1. echo offline >/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXX/state
2. hot remove a memory device

In the 1st case, the memory block's state is changed and the notification
that memory block's state changed is sent to userland after calling
remove_memory().  So user can notice memory block is changed.

But in the 2nd case, the memory block's state is not changed and the
notification is not also sent to userspcae even if calling
remove_memory().  So user cannot notice memory block is changed.

For adding the notification at memory hot remove, the patch just prepare
as follows:
1st case uses offline_pages() for offlining memory.
2nd case uses remove_memory() for offlining memory and changing memory block's
    state and notifing the information.

The patch does not implement notification to remove_memory().

Presently CMA cannot migrate mlocked pages so it ends up failing to allocate

This patch makes mlocked pages be migrated out.  Of course, it can affect
realtime processes but in CMA usecase, contiguous memory allocation failing
is far worse than access latency to an mlocked page being variable while
CMA is running.  If someone wants to make the system realtime, he shouldn't
enable CMA because stalls can still happen at random times.

Minchan Kim 5a88381384 memory-hotplug: fix zone stat mismatch
During memory-hotplug, I found NR_ISOLATED_[ANON|FILE] are increasing,
causing the kernel to hang.  When the system doesn't have enough free
pages, it enters reclaim but never reclaim any pages due to
too_many_isolated()==true and loops forever.

The cause is that when we do memory-hotadd after memory-remove,
__zone_pcp_update() clears a zone's ZONE_STAT_ITEMS in setup_pageset()
although the vm_stat_diff of all CPUs still have values.

In addtion, when we offline all pages of the zone, we reset them in
zone_pcp_reset without draining so we loss some zone stat item.

And I added a new VM_BUG_ON for checking migrate_to_node's future usecase
which might pass to MPOL_MF_STRICT.

Haggai Eran 6bdb913f0a mm: wrap calls to set_pte_at_notify with invalidate_range_start and invalidate_range_end
In order to allow sleeping during invalidate_page mmu notifier calls, we
need to avoid calling when holding the PT lock.  In addition to its direct
calls, invalidate_page can also be called as a substitute for a change_pte
call, in case the notifier client hasn't implemented change_pte.

This patch drops the invalidate_page call from change_pte, and instead
wraps all calls to change_pte with invalidate_range_start and
invalidate_range_end calls.

Note that change_pte still cannot sleep after this patch, and that clients
implementing change_pte should not take action on it in case the number of
outstanding invalidate_range_start calls is larger than one, otherwise
they might miss a later invalidation.

Sagi Grimberg 2ec74c3ef2 mm: move all mmu notifier invocations to be done outside the PT lock
In order to allow sleeping during mmu notifier calls, we need to avoid
invoking them under the page table spinlock.  This patch solves the
problem by calling invalidate_page notification after releasing the lock
(but before freeing the page itself), or by wrapping the page invalidation
with calls to invalidate_range_begin and invalidate_range_end.

To prevent accidental changes to the invalidate_range_end arguments after
the call to invalidate_range_begin, the patch introduces a convention of
saving the arguments in consistently named locals:

	unsigned long mmun_start;	/* For mmu_notifiers */
	unsigned long mmun_end;	/* For mmu_notifiers */

	...

	mmun_start = ...
	mmun_end = ...
	mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(mm, mmun_start, mmun_end);

	...

	mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(mm, mmun_start, mmun_end);

The patch changes code to use this convention for all calls to
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end, except those where the calls are
close enough so that anyone who glances at the code can see the values
aren't changing.

This patchset is a preliminary step towards on-demand paging design to be
added to the RDMA stack.

Why do we want on-demand paging for Infiniband?

  Applications register memory with an RDMA adapter using system calls,
  and subsequently post IO operations that refer to the corresponding
  virtual addresses directly to HW.  Until now, this was achieved by
  pinning the memory during the registration calls.  The goal of on demand
  paging is to avoid pinning the pages of registered memory regions (MRs).
   This will allow users the same flexibility they get when swapping any
  other part of their processes address spaces.  Instead of requiring the
  entire MR to fit in physical memory, we can allow the MR to be larger,
  and only fit the current working set in physical memory.

Why should anyone care?  What problems are users currently experiencing?

  This can make programming with RDMA much simpler.  Today, developers
  that are working with more data than their RAM can hold need either to
  deregister and reregister memory regions throughout their process's
  life, or keep a single memory region and copy the data to it.  On demand
  paging will allow these developers to register a single MR at the
  beginning of their process's life, and let the operating system manage
  which pages needs to be fetched at a given time.  In the future, we
  might be able to provide a single memory access key for each process
  that would provide the entire process's address as one large memory
  region, and the developers wouldn't need to register memory regions at
  all.

Is there any prospect that any other subsystems will utilise these
infrastructural changes?  If so, which and how, etc?

  As for other subsystems, I understand that XPMEM wanted to sleep in
  MMU notifiers, as Christoph Lameter wrote at
  http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0802.1/0460.html and
  perhaps Andrea knows about other use cases.

  Scheduling in mmu notifications is required since we need to sync the
  hardware with the secondary page tables change.  A TLB flush of an IO
  device is inherently slower than a CPU TLB flush, so our design works by
  sending the invalidation request to the device, and waiting for an
  interrupt before exiting the mmu notifier handler.

Avi said:

  kvm may be a buyer.  kvm::mmu_lock, which serializes guest page
  faults, also protects long operations such as destroying large ranges.
  It would be good to convert it into a spinlock, but as it is used inside
  mmu notifiers, this cannot be done.

  (there are alternatives, such as keeping the spinlock and using a
  generation counter to do the teardown in O(1), which is what the "may"
  is doing up there).

Michal Hocko 36e4f20af8 hugetlb: do not use vma_hugecache_offset() for vma_prio_tree_foreach
Commit 0c176d52b0 ("mm: hugetlb: fix pgoff computation when unmapping
page from vma") fixed pgoff calculation but it has replaced it by
vma_hugecache_offset() which is not approapriate for offsets used for
vma_prio_tree_foreach() because that one expects index in page units
rather than in huge_page_shift.

Johannes said:

: The resulting index may not be too big, but it can be too small: assume
: hpage size of 2M and the address to unmap to be 0x200000.  This is regular
: page index 512 and hpage index 1.  If you have a VMA that maps the file
: only starting at the second huge page, that VMAs vm_pgoff will be 512 but
: you ask for offset 1 and miss it even though it does map the page of
: interest.  hugetlb_cow() will try to unmap, miss the vma, and retry the
: cow until the allocation succeeds or the skipped vma(s) go away.

David Rientjes 957f822a0a mm, numa: reclaim from all nodes within reclaim distance
RECLAIM_DISTANCE represents the distance between nodes at which it is
deemed too costly to allocate from; it's preferred to try to reclaim from
a local zone before falling back to allocating on a remote node with such
a distance.

To do this, zone_reclaim_mode is set if the distance between any two
nodes on the system is greather than this distance.  This, however, ends
up causing the page allocator to reclaim from every zone regardless of
its affinity.

What we really want is to reclaim only from zones that are closer than
RECLAIM_DISTANCE.  This patch adds a nodemask to each node that
represents the set of nodes that are within this distance.  During the
zone iteration, if the bit for a zone's node is set for the local node,
then reclaim is attempted; otherwise, the zone is skipped.

Hugh Dickins e6c509f854 mm: use clear_page_mlock() in page_remove_rmap()
We had thought that pages could no longer get freed while still marked as
mlocked; but Johannes Weiner posted this program to demonstrate that
truncating an mlocked private file mapping containing COWed pages is still
mishandled:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
	char *map;
	int fd;

	system("grep mlockfreed /proc/vmstat");
	fd = open("chigurh", O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_RDWR);
	unlink("chigurh");
	ftruncate(fd, 4096);
	map = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);
	map[0] = 11;
	mlock(map, sizeof(fd));
	ftruncate(fd, 0);
	close(fd);
	munlock(map, sizeof(fd));
	munmap(map, 4096);
	system("grep mlockfreed /proc/vmstat");
	return 0;
}

The anon COWed pages are not caught by truncation's clear_page_mlock() of
the pagecache pages; but unmap_mapping_range() unmaps them, so we ought to
look out for them there in page_remove_rmap().  Indeed, why should
truncation or invalidation be doing the clear_page_mlock() when removing
from pagecache?  mlock is a property of mapping in userspace, not a
property of pagecache: an mlocked unmapped page is nonsensical.

don't even need page_evictable() itself!  They're dealing with a freshly

Hugh Dickins ec4d9f626d mm: fix invalidate_complete_page2() lock ordering
In fuzzing with trinity, lockdep protested "possible irq lock inversion
dependency detected" when isolate_lru_page() reenabled interrupts while
still holding the supposedly irq-safe tree_lock:

invalidate_inode_pages2
  invalidate_complete_page2
    spin_lock_irq(&mapping->tree_lock)
    clear_page_mlock
      isolate_lru_page
        spin_unlock_irq(&zone->lru_lock)

isolate_lru_page() is correct to enable interrupts unconditionally:
invalidate_complete_page2() is incorrect to call clear_page_mlock() while
holding tree_lock, which is supposed to nest inside lru_lock.

Both truncate_complete_page() and invalidate_complete_page() call
clear_page_mlock() before taking tree_lock to remove page from radix_tree.
 I guess invalidate_complete_page2() preferred to test PageDirty (again)
under tree_lock before committing to the munlock; but since the page has
already been unmapped, its state is already somewhat inconsistent, and no
worse if clear_page_mlock() moved up.

Jianguo Wu 7f1290f2f2 mm: fix-up zone present pages
I think zone->present_pages indicates pages that buddy system can management,
it should be:

	zone->present_pages = spanned pages - absent pages - bootmem pages,

but is now:
	zone->present_pages = spanned pages - absent pages - memmap pages.

spanned pages: total size, including holes.
absent pages: holes.
bootmem pages: pages used in system boot, managed by bootmem allocator.
memmap pages: pages used by page structs.

This may cause zone->present_pages less than it should be.  For example,
numa node 1 has ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE, it's memmap and other
bootmem will be allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE, so ZONE_NORMAL's
present_pages should be spanned pages - absent pages, but now it also
minus memmap pages(free_area_init_core), which are actually allocated from
ZONE_MOVABLE.  When offlining all memory of a zone, this will cause
zone->present_pages less than 0, because present_pages is unsigned long
type, it is actually a very large integer, it indirectly caused
zone->watermark[WMARK_MIN] becomes a large
integer(setup_per_zone_wmarks()), than cause totalreserve_pages become a
large integer(calculate_totalreserve_pages()), and finally cause memory
allocating failure when fork process(__vm_enough_memory()).

[root@localhost ~]# dmesg
-bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory

I think the bug described in

  http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=134502182714186&w=2

is also caused by wrong zone present pages.

This patch intends to fix-up zone->present_pages when memory are freed to
buddy system on x86_64 and IA64 platforms.

Mel Gorman 62997027ca mm: compaction: clear PG_migrate_skip based on compaction and reclaim activity
Compaction caches if a pageblock was scanned and no pages were isolated so
that the pageblocks can be skipped in the future to reduce scanning.  This
information is not cleared by the page allocator based on activity due to
the impact it would have to the page allocator fast paths.  Hence there is
a requirement that something clear the cache or pageblocks will be skipped
forever.  Currently the cache is cleared if there were a number of recent
allocation failures and it has not been cleared within the last 5 seconds.
Time-based decisions like this are terrible as they have no relationship
to VM activity and is basically a big hammer.

Unfortunately, accurate heuristics would add cost to some hot paths so
this patch implements a rough heuristic.  There are two cases where the
cache is cleared.

1. If a !kswapd process completes a compaction cycle (migrate and free
   scanner meet), the zone is marked compact_blockskip_flush. When kswapd
   goes to sleep, it will clear the cache. This is expected to be the
   common case where the cache is cleared. It does not really matter if
   kswapd happens to be asleep or going to sleep when the flag is set as
   it will be woken on the next allocation request.

2. If there have been multiple failures recently and compaction just
   finished being deferred then a process will clear the cache and start a
   full scan.  This situation happens if there are multiple high-order
   allocation requests under heavy memory pressure.

The clearing of the PG_migrate_skip bits and other scans is inherently
racy but the race is harmless.  For allocations that can fail such as THP,
they will simply fail.  For requests that cannot fail, they will retry the
allocation.  Tests indicated that scanning rates were roughly similar to
when the time-based heuristic was used and the allocation success rates
were similar.

Mel Gorman c89511ab2f mm: compaction: Restart compaction from near where it left off
This is almost entirely based on Rik's previous patches and discussions
with him about how this might be implemented.

Order > 0 compaction stops when enough free pages of the correct page
order have been coalesced.  When doing subsequent higher order
allocations, it is possible for compaction to be invoked many times.

However, the compaction code always starts out looking for things to
compact at the start of the zone, and for free pages to compact things to
at the end of the zone.

This can cause quadratic behaviour, with isolate_freepages starting at the
end of the zone each time, even though previous invocations of the
compaction code already filled up all free memory on that end of the zone.
 This can cause isolate_freepages to take enormous amounts of CPU with
certain workloads on larger memory systems.

This patch caches where the migration and free scanner should start from
on subsequent compaction invocations using the pageblock-skip information.
 When compaction starts it begins from the cached restart points and will
update the cached restart points until a page is isolated or a pageblock
is skipped that would have been scanned by synchronous compaction.

Mel Gorman bb13ffeb9f mm: compaction: cache if a pageblock was scanned and no pages were isolated
When compaction was implemented it was known that scanning could
potentially be excessive.  The ideal was that a counter be maintained for
each pageblock but maintaining this information would incur a severe
penalty due to a shared writable cache line.  It has reached the point
where the scanning costs are a serious problem, particularly on
long-lived systems where a large process starts and allocates a large
number of THPs at the same time.

Instead of using a shared counter, this patch adds another bit to the
pageblock flags called PG_migrate_skip.  If a pageblock is scanned by
either migrate or free scanner and 0 pages were isolated, the pageblock is
marked to be skipped in the future.  When scanning, this bit is checked
before any scanning takes place and the block skipped if set.

The main difficulty with a patch like this is "when to ignore the cached
information?" If it's ignored too often, the scanning rates will still be
excessive.  If the information is too stale then allocations will fail
that might have otherwise succeeded.  In this patch

o CMA always ignores the information
o If the migrate and free scanner meet then the cached information will
  be discarded if it's at least 5 seconds since the last time the cache
  was discarded
o If there are a large number of allocation failures, discard the cache.

The time-based heuristic is very clumsy but there are few choices for a
better event.  Depending solely on multiple allocation failures still
allows excessive scanning when THP allocations are failing in quick
succession due to memory pressure.  Waiting until memory pressure is
relieved would cause compaction to continually fail instead of using
reclaim/compaction to try allocate the page.  The time-based mechanism is
clumsy but a better option is not obvious.

This reverts commit 7db8889ab0 ("mm: have order > 0 compaction start

start near a pageblock with free pages").  These patches were a good
idea and tests confirmed that they massively reduced the amount of
scanning but the implementation is complex and tricky to understand.  A
later patch will cache what pageblocks should be skipped and
reimplements the concept of compact_cached_free_pfn on top for both
migration and free scanners.

Mel Gorman f40d1e42bb mm: compaction: acquire the zone->lock as late as possible
Compaction's free scanner acquires the zone->lock when checking for
PageBuddy pages and isolating them.  It does this even if there are no
PageBuddy pages in the range.

This patch defers acquiring the zone lock for as long as possible.  In the
event there are no free pages in the pageblock then the lock will not be
acquired at all which reduces contention on zone->lock.

Mel Gorman 2a1402aa04 mm: compaction: acquire the zone->lru_lock as late as possible
Richard Davies and Shaohua Li have both reported lock contention problems
in compaction on the zone and LRU locks as well as significant amounts of
time being spent in compaction.  This series aims to reduce lock
contention and scanning rates to reduce that CPU usage.  Richard reported
at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/21/91 that this series made a big
different to a problem he reported in August:

   http://marc.info/?l=kvm&m=134511507015614&w=2

Patch 1 defers acquiring the zone->lru_lock as long as possible.

Patch 2 defers acquiring the zone->lock as lock as possible.

Patch 3 reverts Rik's "skip-free" patches as the core concept gets
	reimplemented later and the remaining patches are easier to
	understand if this is reverted first.

Patch 4 adds a pageblock-skip bit to the pageblock flags to cache what
	pageblocks should be skipped by the migrate and free scanners.
	This drastically reduces the amount of scanning compaction has
	to do.

Patch 5 reimplements something similar to Rik's idea except it uses the
	pageblock-skip information to decide where the scanners should
	restart from and does not need to wrap around.

I tested this on 3.6-rc6 + linux-next/akpm. Kernels tested were

akpm-20120920	3.6-rc6 + linux-next/akpm as of Septeber 20th, 2012
lesslock	Patches 1-6
revert		Patches 1-7
cachefail	Patches 1-8
skipuseless	Patches 1-9

Stress high-order allocation tests looked ok.  Success rates are more or
less the same with the full series applied but there is an expectation
that there is less opportunity to race with other allocation requests if
there is less scanning.  The time to complete the tests did not vary that
much and are uninteresting as were the vmstat statistics so I will not
present them here.

Using ftrace I recorded how much scanning was done by compaction and got this

                            3.6.0-rc6     3.6.0-rc6   3.6.0-rc6  3.6.0-rc6 3.6.0-rc6

The efficiency is worthless because of the nature of the test and the
number of failures.  The really interesting point as far as this patch
series is concerned is the number of pages scanned.  Note that reverting
Rik's patches massively increases the number of pages scanned indicating
that those patches really did make a difference to CPU usage.

However, caching what pageblocks should be skipped has a much higher
impact.  With patches 1-8 applied, free page and migrate page scanning are
both reduced by 95% in comparison to the akpm kernel.  If the basic
concept of Rik's patches are implemened on top then scanning then the free
scanner barely changed but migrate scanning was further reduced.  That
said, tests on 3.6-rc5 indicated that the last patch had greater impact
than what was measured here so it is a bit variable.

One way or the other, this series has a large impact on the amount of
scanning compaction does when there is a storm of THP allocations.

This patch:

Compaction's migrate scanner acquires the zone->lru_lock when scanning a
range of pages looking for LRU pages to acquire.  It does this even if
there are no LRU pages in the range.  If multiple processes are compacting
then this can cause severe locking contention.  To make matters worse
commit b2eef8c0 ("mm: compaction: minimise the time IRQs are disabled
while isolating pages for migration") releases the lru_lock every
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages that are scanned.

This patch makes two changes to how the migrate scanner acquires the LRU
lock.  First, it only releases the LRU lock every SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages
if the lock is contended.  This reduces the number of times it
unnecessarily disables and re-enables IRQs.  The second is that it defers
acquiring the LRU lock for as long as possible.  If there are no LRU pages
or the only LRU pages are transhuge then the LRU lock will not be acquired
at all which reduces contention on zone->lru_lock.

Mel Gorman 3cc668f4e3 mm: compaction: move fatal signal check out of compact_checklock_irqsave
Commit c67fe3752a ("mm: compaction: Abort async compaction if locks
are contended or taking too long") addressed a lock contention problem
in compaction by introducing compact_checklock_irqsave() that effecively
aborting async compaction in the event of compaction.

To preserve existing behaviour it also moved a fatal_signal_pending()
check into compact_checklock_irqsave() but that is very misleading.  It
"hides" the check within a locking function but has nothing to do with
locking as such.  It just happens to work in a desirable fashion.

This patch moves the fatal_signal_pending() check to
isolate_migratepages_range() where it belongs.  Arguably the same check
should also happen when isolating pages for freeing but it's overkill.

isolate_migratepages_range() might isolate no pages if for example when
zone->lru_lock is contended and running asynchronous compaction. In this
case, we should abort compaction, otherwise, compact_zone will run a

An additional check is added to ensure that cc.migratepages and
cc.freepages get properly drained whan compaction is aborted.

.fault now can retry.  The retry can break state machine of .fault.  In
filemap_fault, if page is miss, ra->mmap_miss is increased.  In the second
try, since the page is in page cache now, ra->mmap_miss is decreased.  And
these are done in one fault, so we can't detect random mmap file access.

Add a new flag to indicate .fault is tried once.  In the second try, skip

Minchan Kim 435b405c06 memory-hotplug: fix pages missed by race rather than failing
If race between allocation and isolation in memory-hotplug offline
happens, some pages could be in MIGRATE_MOVABLE of free_list although the
pageblock's migratetype of the page is MIGRATE_ISOLATE.

The race could be detected by get_freepage_migratetype in
__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock.  If it is detected, now EBUSY gets
bubbled all the way up and the hotplug operations fails.

But better idea is instead of returning and failing memory-hotremove, move
the free page to the correct list at the time it is detected.  It could
enhance memory-hotremove operation success ratio although the race is
really rare.

Suggested by Mel Gorman.

				/* So, Page A could be allocated */

__test_page_isolated_in_pageblock can check the page caused by above race
and can fail of memory offlining.

Minchan Kim 95e3441248 mm: remain migratetype in freed page
The page allocator caches the pageblock information in page->private while
it is in the PCP freelists but this is overwritten with the order of the
page when freed to the buddy allocator.  This patch stores the migratetype
of the page in the page->index field so that it is available at all times
when the page remain in free_list.

This patch adds a new call site in __free_pages_ok so it might be overhead
a bit but it's for high order allocation.  So I believe damage isn't hurt.

Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz d95ea5d18e cma: fix watermark checking
* Add ALLOC_CMA alloc flag and pass it to [__]zone_watermark_ok()
  (from Minchan Kim).

* During watermark check decrease available free pages number by
  free CMA pages number if necessary (unmovable allocations cannot
  use pages from CMA areas).

Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz 770c8aaaf6 mm: fix tracing in free_pcppages_bulk()
page->private gets re-used in __free_one_page() to store page order
(so trace_mm_page_pcpu_drain() may print order instead of migratetype)
thus migratetype value must be cached locally.

Fixes regression introduced in commit a7016235a6 ("mm: fix migratetype
bug which slowed swapping").  This caused incorrect data to be attached
to the mm_page_pcpu_drain trace event.

Minchan Kim 02c6de8d75 mm: cma: discard clean pages during contiguous allocation instead of migration
Drop clean cache pages instead of migration during alloc_contig_range() to
minimise allocation latency by reducing the amount of migration that is
necessary.  It's useful for CMA because latency of migration is more
important than evicting the background process's working set.  In
addition, as pages are reclaimed then fewer free pages for migration
targets are required so it avoids memory reclaiming to get free pages,
which is a contributory factor to increased latency.

I measured elapsed time of __alloc_contig_migrate_range() which migrates
10M in 40M movable zone in QEMU machine.

Before - 146ms, After - 7ms

Xishi Qiu 1e8537baac memory-hotplug: build zonelists when offlining pages
online_pages() does build_all_zonelists() and zone_pcp_update(), I think
offline_pages() should do it too.

When the zone has no memory to allocate, remove it from other nodes'
zonelists.  zone_batchsize() depends on zone's present pages, if zone's
present pages are changed, zone's pcp should be updated.

Michel Lespinasse 38a76013ad mm: avoid taking rmap locks in move_ptes()
During mremap(), the destination VMA is generally placed after the
original vma in rmap traversal order: in move_vma(), we always have
new_pgoff >= vma->vm_pgoff, and as a result new_vma->vm_pgoff >=
vma->vm_pgoff unless vma_merge() merged the new vma with an adjacent one.

When the destination VMA is placed after the original in rmap traversal
order, we can avoid taking the rmap locks in move_ptes().

Essentially, this reintroduces the optimization that had been disabled in
"mm anon rmap: remove anon_vma_moveto_tail".  The difference is that we
don't try to impose the rmap traversal order; instead we just rely on
things being in the desired order in the common case and fall back to
taking locks in the uncommon case.  Also we skip the i_mmap_mutex in
addition to the anon_vma lock: in both cases, the vmas are traversed in
increasing vm_pgoff order with ties resolved in tree insertion order.

Michel Lespinasse 523d4e2008 mm anon rmap: in mremap, set the new vma's position before anon_vma_clone()
anon_vma_clone() expects new_vma->vm_{start,end,pgoff} to be correctly set
so that the new vma can be indexed on the anon interval tree.

copy_vma() was failing to do that, which broke mremap().

Add a CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_RB build option for the previously existing
DEBUG_MM_RB code.  Now that Andi Kleen modified it to avoid using
recursive algorithms, we can expose it a bit more.

Also extend this code to validate_mm() after stack expansion, and to check
that the vma's start and last pgoffs have not changed since the nodes were
inserted on the anon vma interval tree (as it is important that the nodes
be reindexed after each such update).

Michel Lespinasse 86c2ad1995 mm rmap: remove vma_address check for address inside vma
In file and anon rmap, we use interval trees to find potentially relevant
vmas and then call vma_address() to find the virtual address the given
page might be found at in these vmas.  vma_address() used to include a
check that the returned address falls within the limits of the vma, but
this check isn't necessary now that we always use interval trees in rmap:
the interval tree just doesn't return any vmas which this check would find
to be irrelevant.  As a result, we can replace the use of -EFAULT error
code (which then needed to be checked in every call site) with a
VM_BUG_ON().

Michel Lespinasse bf181b9f9d mm anon rmap: replace same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree.
When a large VMA (anon or private file mapping) is first touched, which
will populate its anon_vma field, and then split into many regions through
the use of mprotect(), the original anon_vma ends up linking all of the
vmas on a linked list.  This can cause rmap to become inefficient, as we
have to walk potentially thousands of irrelevent vmas before finding the
one a given anon page might fall into.

By replacing the same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree (where
each avc's interval is determined by its vma's start and last pgoffs), we
can make rmap efficient for this use case again.

While the change is large, all of its pieces are fairly simple.

Most places that were walking the same_anon_vma list were looking for a
known pgoff, so they can just use the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach()
interval tree iterator instead.  The exception here is ksm, where the
page's index is not known.  It would probably be possible to rework ksm so
that the index would be known, but for now I have decided to keep things
simple and just walk the entirety of the interval tree there.

When updating vma's that already have an anon_vma assigned, we must take
care to re-index the corresponding avc's on their interval tree.  This is
done through the use of anon_vma_interval_tree_pre_update_vma() and
anon_vma_interval_tree_post_update_vma(), which remove the avc's from
their interval tree before the update and re-insert them after the update.
 The anon_vma stays locked during the update, so there is no chance that
rmap would miss the vmas that are being updated.
