Linus Torvalds 50f5aa8a9b mm: don't pointlessly use BUG_ON() for sanity check
BUG_ON() is a big hammer, and should be used _only_ if there is some
major corruption that you cannot possibly recover from, making it
imperative that the current process (and possibly the whole machine) be
terminated with extreme prejudice.

The trivial sanity check in the vmacache code is *not* such a fatal
error.  Recovering from it is absolutely trivial, and using BUG_ON()
just makes it harder to debug for no actual advantage.

To make matters worse, the placement of the BUG_ON() (only if the range
check matched) actually makes it harder to hit the sanity check to begin
with, so _if_ there is a bug (and we just got a report from Srivatsa
Bhat that this can indeed trigger), it is harder to debug not just
because the machine is possibly dead, but because we don't have better
coverage.

BUG_ON() must *die*.  Maybe we should add a checkpatch warning for it,
because it is simply just about the worst thing you can ever do if you
hit some "this cannot happen" situation.

Linus Torvalds 1cf35d4771 mm: split 'tlb_flush_mmu()' into tlb flushing and memory freeing parts
The mmu-gather operation 'tlb_flush_mmu()' has done two things: the
actual tlb flush operation, and the batched freeing of the pages that
the TLB entries pointed at.

This splits the operation into separate phases, so that the forced
batched flushing done by zap_pte_range() can now do the actual TLB flush
while still holding the page table lock, but delay the batched freeing
of all the pages to after the lock has been dropped.

This in turn allows us to avoid a race condition between
set_page_dirty() (as called by zap_pte_range() when it finds a dirty
shared memory pte) and page_mkclean(): because we now flush all the
dirty page data from the TLB's while holding the pte lock,
page_mkclean() will be held up walking the (recently cleaned) page
tables until after the TLB entries have been flushed from all CPU's.

Linus Torvalds 1b17844b29 mm: make fixup_user_fault() check the vma access rights too
fixup_user_fault() is used by the futex code when the direct user access
fails, and the futex code wants it to either map in the page in a usable
form or return an error.  It relied on handle_mm_fault() to map the
page, and correctly checked the error return from that, but while that
does map the page, it doesn't actually guarantee that the page will be
mapped with sufficient permissions to be then accessed.

So do the appropriate tests of the vma access rights by hand.

[ Side note: arguably handle_mm_fault() could just do that itself, but
  we have traditionally done it in the caller, because some callers -
  notably get_user_pages() - have been able to access pages even when
  they are mapped with PROT_NONE.  Maybe we should re-visit that design
  decision, but in the meantime this is the minimal patch. ]

Kirill A. Shutemov b5a8cad376 thp: close race between split and zap huge pages
Sasha Levin has reported two THP BUGs[1][2].  I believe both of them
have the same root cause.  Let's look to them one by one.

The first bug[1] is "kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1829!".  It's
BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page)) in __split_huge_page().  From my
testing I see that page_mapcount() is higher than mapcount here.

I think it happens due to race between zap_huge_pmd() and
page_check_address_pmd().  page_check_address_pmd() misses PMD which is
under zap:

	CPU0						CPU1
						zap_huge_pmd()
						  pmdp_get_and_clear()
__split_huge_page()
  anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach()
    __split_huge_page_splitting()
      page_check_address_pmd()
        mm_find_pmd()
	  /*
	   * We check if PMD present without taking ptl: no
	   * serialization against zap_huge_pmd(). We miss this PMD,
	   * it's not accounted to 'mapcount' in __split_huge_page().
	   */
	  pmd_present(pmd) == 0

  BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page)) // CRASH!!!

						  page_remove_rmap(page)
						    atomic_add_negative(-1, &page->_mapcount)

The second bug[2] is "kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1371!".
It's VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHead(page), page) in zap_huge_pmd().

This happens in similar way:

	CPU0						CPU1
						zap_huge_pmd()
						  pmdp_get_and_clear()
						  page_remove_rmap(page)
						    atomic_add_negative(-1, &page->_mapcount)
__split_huge_page()
  anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach()
    __split_huge_page_splitting()
      page_check_address_pmd()
        mm_find_pmd()
	  pmd_present(pmd) == 0	/* The same comment as above */
  /*
   * No crash this time since we already decremented page->_mapcount in
   * zap_huge_pmd().
   */
  BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page))

  /*
   * We split the compound page here into small pages without
   * serialization against zap_huge_pmd()
   */
  __split_huge_page_refcount()
						VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHead(page), page); // CRASH!!!

So my understanding the problem is pmd_present() check in mm_find_pmd()
without taking page table lock.

The bug was introduced by me commit with commit 117b0791ac. Sorry for
that. :(

Let's open code mm_find_pmd() in page_check_address_pmd() and do the
check under page table lock.

Note that __page_check_address() does the same for PTE entires
if sync != 0.

I've stress tested split and zap code paths for 36+ hours by now and
don't see crashes with the patch applied. Before it took <20 min to
trigger the first bug and few hours for second one (if we ignore
first).

Dave Hansen 34bf6ef94a mm: slab/slub: use page->list consistently instead of page->lru
'struct page' has two list_head fields: 'lru' and 'list'.  Conveniently,
they are unioned together.  This means that code can use them
interchangably, which gets horribly confusing like with this nugget from
slab.c:

>	list_del(&page->lru);
>	if (page->active == cachep->num)
>		list_add(&page->list, &n->slabs_full);

This patch makes the slab and slub code use page->lru universally instead
of mixing ->list and ->lru.

So, the new rule is: page->lru is what the you use if you want to keep
your page on a list.  Don't like the fact that it's not called ->list?
Too bad.

Johannes Weiner 0bf1457f0c mm: vmscan: do not swap anon pages just because free+file is low
Page reclaim force-scans / swaps anonymous pages when file cache drops
below the high watermark of a zone in order to prevent what little cache
remains from thrashing.

However, on bigger machines the high watermark value can be quite large
and when the workload is dominated by a static anonymous/shmem set, the
file set might just be a small window of used-once cache.  In such
situations, the VM starts swapping heavily when instead it should be
recycling the no longer used cache.

This is a longer-standing problem, but it's more likely to trigger after
commit 81c0a2bb51 ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy")
because file pages can no longer accumulate in a single zone and are
dispersed into smaller fractions among the available zones.

To resolve this, do not force scan anon when file pages are low but
instead rely on the scan/rotation ratios to make the right prediction.

Mark Salter 9e5c33d7ae mm: create generic early_ioremap() support
This patch creates a generic implementation of early_ioremap() support
based on the existing x86 implementation.  early_ioremp() is useful for
early boot code which needs to temporarily map I/O or memory regions
before normal mapping functions such as ioremap() are available.

Some architectures have optional MMU.  In the no-MMU case, the remap
functions simply return the passed in physical address and the unmap
functions do nothing.

Statistics are not critical to the operation of the allocation but
should also not cause too much overhead.

When __this_cpu_inc is altered to check if preemption is disabled this
triggers.  Use raw_cpu_inc to avoid the checks.  Using this_cpu_ops may
cause interrupt disable/enable sequences on various arches which may
significantly impact allocator performance.

Vladimir Davydov 9a41707bd3 slub: rework sysfs layout for memcg caches
Currently, we try to arrange sysfs entries for memcg caches in the same
manner as for global caches.  Apart from turning /sys/kernel/slab into a
mess when there are a lot of kmem-active memcgs created, it actually
does not work properly - we won't create more than one link to a memcg
cache in case its parent is merged with another cache.  For instance, if
A is a root cache merged with another root cache B, we will have the
following sysfs setup:

  X
  A -> X
  B -> X

where X is some unique id (see create_unique_id()).  Now if memcgs M and
N start to allocate from cache A (or B, which is the same), we will get:

  X
  X:M
  X:N
  A -> X
  B -> X
  A:M -> X:M
  A:N -> X:N

Since B is an alias for A, we won't get entries B:M and B:N, which is
confusing.

It is more logical to have entries for memcg caches under the
corresponding root cache's sysfs directory.  This would allow us to keep
sysfs layout clean, and avoid such inconsistencies like one described
above.

This patch does the trick.  It creates a "cgroup" kset in each root
cache kobject to keep its children caches there.

Vladimir Davydov b8529907ba memcg, slab: do not destroy children caches if parent has aliases
Currently we destroy children caches at the very beginning of
kmem_cache_destroy().  This is wrong, because the root cache will not
necessarily be destroyed in the end - if it has aliases (refcount > 0),
kmem_cache_destroy() will simply decrement its refcount and return.  In
this case, at best we will get a bunch of warnings in dmesg, like this
one:

  kmem_cache_destroy kmalloc-32:0: Slab cache still has objects

At worst - if kmem_cache_destroy() will race with an allocation from a
memcg cache - the kernel will panic.

This patch fixes this by moving children caches destruction after the
check if the cache has aliases.  Plus, it forbids destroying a root
cache if it still has children caches, because each children cache keeps
a reference to its parent.

Vladimir Davydov 051dd46050 memcg, slab: unregister cache from memcg before starting to destroy it
Currently, memcg_unregister_cache(), which deletes the cache being
destroyed from the memcg_slab_caches list, is called after
__kmem_cache_shutdown() (see kmem_cache_destroy()), which starts to
destroy the cache.

As a result, one can access a partially destroyed cache while traversing
a memcg_slab_caches list, which can have deadly consequences (for
instance, cache_show() called for each cache on a memcg_slab_caches list
from mem_cgroup_slabinfo_read() will dereference pointers to already
freed data).

To fix this, let's move memcg_unregister_cache() before the cache
destruction process beginning, issuing memcg_register_cache() on failure.

Vladimir Davydov 5722d094ad memcg, slab: cleanup memcg cache creation
This patch cleans up the memcg cache creation path as follows:

- Move memcg cache name creation to a separate function to be called
  from kmem_cache_create_memcg().  This allows us to get rid of the mutex
  protecting the temporary buffer used for the name formatting, because
  the whole cache creation path is protected by the slab_mutex.

- Get rid of memcg_create_kmem_cache().  This function serves as a proxy
  to kmem_cache_create_memcg().  After separating the cache name creation
  path, it would be reduced to a function call, so let's inline it.

Vladimir Davydov a44cb94491 memcg, slab: never try to merge memcg caches
When a kmem cache is created (kmem_cache_create_memcg()), we first try to
find a compatible cache that already exists and can handle requests from
the new cache, i.e.  has the same object size, alignment, ctor, etc.  If
there is such a cache, we do not create any new caches, instead we simply
increment the refcount of the cache found and return it.

Currently we do this procedure not only when creating root caches, but
also for memcg caches.  However, there is no point in that, because, as
every memcg cache has exactly the same parameters as its parent and cache
merging cannot be turned off in runtime (only on boot by passing
"slub_nomerge"), the root caches of any two potentially mergeable memcg
caches should be merged already, i.e.  it must be the same root cache, and
therefore we couldn't even get to the memcg cache creation, because it
already exists.

The only exception is boot caches - they are explicitly forbidden to be
merged by setting their refcount to -1.  There are currently only two of
them - kmem_cache and kmem_cache_node, which are used in slab internals (I
do not count kmalloc caches as their refcount is set to 1 immediately
after creation).  Since they are prevented from merging preliminary I
guess we should avoid to merge their children too.

So let's remove the useless code responsible for merging memcg caches.

Minchan Kim 60105e1248 mm/zswap: support multiple swap devices
Cai Liu reporeted that now zbud pool pages counting has a problem when
multiple swap is used because it just counts only one swap intead of all
of swap so zswap cannot control writeback properly.  The result is
unnecessary writeback or no writeback when we should really writeback.

IOW, it made zswap crazy.

Another problem in zswap is:

For example, let's assume we use two swap A and B with different
priority and A already has charged 19% long time ago and let's assume
that A swap is full now so VM start to use B so that B has charged 1%
recently.  It menas zswap charged (19% + 1%) is full by default.  Then,
if VM want to swap out more pages into B, zbud_reclaim_page would be
evict one of pages in B's pool and it would be repeated continuously.
It's totally LRU reverse problem and swap thrashing in B would happen.

This patch makes zswap consider mutliple swap by creating *a* zbud pool
which will be shared by multiple swap so all of zswap pages in multiple
swap keep order by LRU so it can prevent above two problems.

John Hubbard ed12d845b5 mm/page_alloc.c: change mm debug routines back to EXPORT_SYMBOL
A new dump_page() routine was recently added, and marked
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.  dump_page() was also added to the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE()
macro, and so the end result is that non-GPL code can no longer call
get_page() and a few other routines.

This only happens if the kernel was compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.

Change dump_page() to be EXPORT_SYMBOL.

Longer explanation:

Prior to commit 309381feae ("mm: dump page when hitting a VM_BUG_ON
using VM_BUG_ON_PAGE") , it was possible to build MIT-licensed (non-GPL)
drivers on Fedora.  Fedora is semi-unique, in that it sets
CONFIG_VM_DEBUG.

Because Fedora sets CONFIG_VM_DEBUG, they end up pulling in dump_page(),
via VM_BUG_ON_PAGE, via get_page().  As one of the authors of NVIDIA's
new, open source, "UVM-Lite" kernel module, I originally choose to use
the kernel's get_page() routine from within nvidia_uvm_page_cache.c,
because get_page() has always seemed to be very clearly intended for use
by non-GPL, driver code.

So I'm hoping that making get_page() widely accessible again will not be
too controversial.  We did check with Fedora first, and they responded
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1074710#c3) that we should
try to get upstream changed, before asking Fedora to change.  Their
reasoning seems beneficial to Linux: leaving CONFIG_DEBUG_VM set allows
Fedora to help catch mm bugs.

Mizuma, Masayoshi 55f67141a8 mm: hugetlb: fix softlockup when a large number of hugepages are freed.
When I decrease the value of nr_hugepage in procfs a lot, softlockup
happens.  It is because there is no chance of context switch during this
process.

On the other hand, when I allocate a large number of hugepages, there is
some chance of context switch.  Hence softlockup doesn't happen during
this process.  So it's necessary to add the context switch in the
freeing process as same as allocating process to avoid softlockup.

When I freed 12 TB hugapages with kernel-2.6.32-358.el6, the freeing
process occupied a CPU over 150 seconds and following softlockup message
appeared twice or more.

$ echo 6000000 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
$ cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages

I have not confirmed this problem with upstream kernels because I am not
able to prepare the machine equipped with 12TB memory now.  However I
confirmed that the amount of decreasing hugepages was directly
proportional to the amount of required time.

I measured required times on a smaller machine.  It showed 130-145
hugepages decreased in a millisecond.

  Amount of decreasing     Required time      Decreasing rate
  hugepages                     (msec)         (pages/msec)

  10,000 pages == 20GB         70 -  74          135-142
  30,000 pages == 60GB        208 - 229          131-144

It means decrement of 6TB hugepages will trigger softlockup with the
default threshold 20sec, in this decreasing rate.

Vlastimil Babka 57e68e9cd6 mm: try_to_unmap_cluster() should lock_page() before mlocking
A BUG_ON(!PageLocked) was triggered in mlock_vma_page() by Sasha Levin
fuzzing with trinity.  The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() does not lock
the pages other than its check_page parameter (which is already locked).

The BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() is not documented and its purpose is
somewhat unclear, but apparently it serializes against page migration,
which could otherwise fail to transfer the PG_mlocked flag.  This would
not be fatal, as the page would be eventually encountered again, but
NR_MLOCK accounting would become distorted nevertheless.  This patch adds
a comment to the BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() and munlock_vma_page() to that
effect.

The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() is fixed so that for page !=
check_page, trylock_page() is attempted (to avoid possible deadlocks as we
already have check_page locked) and mlock_vma_page() is performed only
upon success.  If the page lock cannot be obtained, the page is left
without PG_mlocked, which is again not a problem in the whole unevictable
memory design.

Johannes Weiner 3a025760fc mm: page_alloc: spill to remote nodes before waking kswapd
On NUMA systems, a node may start thrashing cache or even swap anonymous
pages while there are still free pages on remote nodes.

This is a result of commits 81c0a2bb51 ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone
allocator policy") and fff4068cba ("mm: page_alloc: revert NUMA aspect
of fair allocation policy").

Before those changes, the allocator would first try all allowed zones,
including those on remote nodes, before waking any kswapds.  But now,
the allocator fastpath doubles as the fairness pass, which in turn can
only consider the local node to prevent remote spilling based on
exhausted fairness batches alone.  Remote nodes are only considered in
the slowpath, after the kswapds are woken up.  But if remote nodes still
have free memory, kswapd should not be woken to rebalance the local node
or it may thrash cash or swap prematurely.

Fix this by adding one more unfair pass over the zonelist that is
allowed to spill to remote nodes after the local fairness pass fails but
before entering the slowpath and waking the kswapds.

This also gets rid of the GFP_THISNODE exemption from the fairness
protocol because the unfair pass is no longer tied to kswapd, which
GFP_THISNODE is not allowed to wake up.

However, because remote spills can be more frequent now - we prefer them
over local kswapd reclaim - the allocation batches on remote nodes could
underflow more heavily.  When resetting the batches, use
atomic_long_read() directly instead of zone_page_state() to calculate the
delta as the latter filters negative counter values.

__mem_cgroup_try_charge duplicates get_mem_cgroup_from_mm for charges

optimization when css_tryget is not called if the charge can be consumed

anything these days.

taking a number out of one percpu counter and putting it into another.
Do this directly in the callsite and save the indirection.

Kirill A. Shutemov d230dec18d mm: use 'const char *' insted of 'char *' for reason in dump_page()
I tried to use 'dump_page(page, __func__)' for debugging, but it triggers
warning:

  warning: passing argument 2 of `dump_page' discards `const' qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default]

Let's convert 'reason' to 'const char *' in dump_page() and friends: we
shouldn't modify it anyway.

Gioh Kim 3643763834 mm/vmalloc.c: enhance vm_map_ram() comment
vm_map_ram() has a fragmentation problem when it cannot purge a
chunk(ie, 4M address space) if there is a pinning object in that
addresss space.  So it could consume all VMALLOC address space easily.

We can fix the fragmentation problem by using vmap instead of
vm_map_ram() but vmap() is known to be slow compared to vm_map_ram().
Minchan said vm_map_ram is 5 times faster than vmap in his tests.  So I
thought we should fix fragment problem of vm_map_ram because our
proprietary GPU driver has used it heavily.

On second thought, it's not an easy because we should reuse freed space
for solving the problem and it could make more IPI and bitmap operation
for searching hole.  It could mitigate API's goal which is very fast
mapping.  And even fragmentation problem wouldn't show in 64 bit
machine.

Another option is that the user should separate long-life and short-life
object and use vmap for long-life but vm_map_ram for short-life.  If we
inform the user about the characteristic of vm_map_ram the user can
choose one according to the page lifetime.

Let's add some notice messages to user.

Mikulas Patocka eb9a3c62a0 mempool: add unlikely and likely hints
Add unlikely and likely hints to the function mempool_free.  It lays out
the code in such a way that the common path is executed straighforward and
saves a cache line.
