The VM_SOFTDIRTY bit affects vma merge routine: if two VMAs has all bits
in vm_flags matched except dirty bit the kernel can't longer merge them
and this forces the kernel to generate new VMAs instead.
It finally may lead to the situation when userspace application reaches
vm.max_map_count limit and get crashed in worse case

Initial problem came from missed VM_SOFTDIRTY in do_brk() routine but
even if we would set up VM_SOFTDIRTY here, there is still a way to
prevent VMAs from merging: one can call
| echo 4 > /proc/$PID/clear_refs
and clear all VM_SOFTDIRTY over all VMAs presented in memory map, then
new do_brk() will try to extend old VMA and finds that dirty bit doesn't
match thus new VMA will be generated.
As discussed with Pavel, the right approach should be to ignore
VM_SOFTDIRTY bit when we're trying to merge VMAs and if merge successed
we mark extended VMA with dirty bit where needed.

Commit 19f3940286 ("memcg: simplify mem_cgroup_iter") has reorganized
mem_cgroup_iter code in order to simplify it. A part of that change was
dropping an optimization which didn't call css_tryget on the root of the
walked tree. The patch however didn't change the css_put part in
mem_cgroup_iter which excludes root.
This wasn't an issue at the time because __mem_cgroup_iter_next bailed
out for root early without taking a reference as cgroup iterators
(css_next_descendant_pre) didn't visit root themselves.
Nevertheless cgroup iterators have been reworked to visit root by commit
bd8815a6d8 ("cgroup: make css_for_each_descendant() and friends
include the origin css in the iteration") when the root bypass have been
dropped in __mem_cgroup_iter_next. This means that css_put is not
called for root and so css along with mem_cgroup and other cgroup
internal object tied by css lifetime are never freed.
Fix the issue by reintroducing root check in __mem_cgroup_iter_next and
do not take css reference for it.
This reference counting magic protects us also from another issue, an
endless loop reported by Hugh Dickins when reclaim races with root
removal and css_tryget called by iterator internally would fail. There
would be no other nodes to visit so __mem_cgroup_iter_next would return
NULL and mem_cgroup_iter would interpret it as "start looping from root
again" and so mem_cgroup_iter would loop forever internally.

Hugh has reported an endless loop when the hardlimit reclaim sees the
same group all the time. This might happen when the reclaim races with
the memcg removal.

[rmdir root]
mem_cgroup_iter(root, NULL, reclaim)
// prev = NULL
rcu_read_lock()
mem_cgroup_iter_load
last_visited = iter->last_visited // gets root || NULL
css_tryget(last_visited) // failed
last_visited = NULL [1]
memcg = root = __mem_cgroup_iter_next(root, NULL)
mem_cgroup_iter_update
iter->last_visited = root;

// prev = root
rcu_read_lock
mem_cgroup_iter_load
last_visited = iter->last_visited // gets root
css_tryget(last_visited) // failed
[1]
The issue seemed to be introduced by commit 5f57816197 ("memcg: relax
memcg iter caching") which has replaced unconditional css_get/css_put by
css_tryget/css_put for the cached iterator.
This patch fixes the issue by skipping css_tryget on the root of the
tree walk in mem_cgroup_iter_load and symmetrically doesn't release it
in mem_cgroup_iter_update.

When two threads have the same badness score, it's preferable to kill
the thread group leader so that the actual process name is printed to
the kernel log rather than the thread group name which may be shared
amongst several processes.
This was the behavior when select_bad_process() used to do
for_each_process(), but it now iterates threads instead and leads to
ambiguity.

Code that is obj-y (always built-in) or dependent on a bool Kconfig
(built-in or absent) can never be modular. So using module_init as an
alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading.
Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into
module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h
to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing.
The audit targets the following module_init users for change:
mm/ksm.c bool KSM
mm/mmap.c bool MMU
mm/huge_memory.c bool TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE
mm/mmu_notifier.c bool MMU_NOTIFIER
Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the
priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto
device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these
files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level
4-subsys (i.e. slightly earlier).
However no observable impact of that difference has been observed during
testing.
One might think that core_initcall (l2) or postcore_initcall (l3) would
be more appropriate for anything in mm/ but if we look at some actual
init functions themselves, we see things like:
mm/huge_memory.c --> hugepage_init --> hugepage_init_sysfs
mm/mmap.c --> init_user_reserve --> sysctl_user_reserve_kbytes
mm/ksm.c --> ksm_init --> sysfs_create_group
and hence the choice of subsys_initcall (l4) seems reasonable, and at
the same time minimizes the risk of changing the priority too
drastically all at once. We can adjust further in the future.
Also, several instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed.

The use of __initcall is to be eventually replaced by choosing one from
the prioritized groupings laid out in init.h header:
pure_initcall 0
core_initcall 1
postcore_initcall 2
arch_initcall 3
subsys_initcall 4
fs_initcall 5
device_initcall 6
late_initcall 7
In the interim, all __initcall are mapped onto device_initcall, which as
can be seen above, comes quite late in the ordering.
Currently the mm_kobj is created with __initcall in mm_sysfs_init().
This means that any other initcalls that want to reference the mm_kobj
have to be device_initcall (or later), otherwise we will for example,
trip the BUG_ON(!kobj) in sysfs's internal_create_group(). This
unfairly restricts those users; for example something that clearly makes
sense to be an arch_initcall will not be able to choose that.
However, upon examination, it is only this way for historical reasons
(i.e. simply not reprioritized yet). We see that sysfs is ready quite
earlier in init/main.c via:
vfs_caches_init
|_ mnt_init
|_ sysfs_init
well ahead of the processing of the prioritized calls listed above.
So we can recategorize mm_sysfs_init to be a pure_initcall, which in
turn allows any mm_kobj initcall users a wider range (1 --> 7) of
initcall priorities to choose from.

We don't need to do register_memory_resource() under
lock_memory_hotplug() since it has its own lock and doesn't make any
callbacks.
Also register_memory_resource return NULL on failure so we don't have
anything to cleanup at this point.
The reason for this rfc is I was doing some experiments with hotplugging
of memory on some of our larger systems. While it seems to work, it can
be quite slow. With some preliminary digging I found that
lock_memory_hotplug is clearly ripe for breakup.
It could be broken up per nid or something but it also covers the
online_page_callback. The online_page_callback shouldn't be very hard
to break out.
Also there is the issue of various structures(wmarks come to mind) that
are only updated under the lock_memory_hotplug that would need to be
dealt with.

When reclaiming kmem, we currently don't scan slabs that have less than
batch_size objects (see shrink_slab_node()):
while (total_scan >= batch_size) {
shrinkctl->nr_to_scan = batch_size;
shrinker->scan_objects(shrinker, shrinkctl);
total_scan -= batch_size;
}
If there are only a few shrinkers available, such a behavior won't cause
any problems, because the batch_size is usually small, but if we have a
lot of slab shrinkers, which is perfectly possible since FS shrinkers
are now per-superblock, we can end up with hundreds of megabytes of
practically unreclaimable kmem objects. For instance, mounting a
thousand of ext2 FS images with a hundred of files in each and iterating
over all the files using du(1) will result in about 200 Mb of FS caches
that cannot be dropped even with the aid of the vm.drop_caches sysctl!
This problem was initially pointed out by Glauber Costa [*]. Glauber
proposed to fix it by making the shrink_slab() always take at least one
pass, to put it simply, turning the scan loop above to a do{}while()
loop. However, this proposal was rejected, because it could result in
more aggressive and frequent slab shrinking even under low memory
pressure when total_scan is naturally very small.
This patch is a slightly modified version of Glauber's approach.
Similarly to Glauber's patch, it makes shrink_slab() scan less than
batch_size objects, but only if the total number of objects we want to
scan (total_scan) is greater than the total number of objects available
(max_pass). Since total_scan is biased as half max_pass if the current
delta change is small:
if (delta < max_pass / 4)
total_scan = min(total_scan, max_pass / 2);
this is only possible if we are scanning at high prio. That said, this
patch shouldn't change the vmscan behaviour if the memory pressure is
low, but if we are tight on memory, we will do our best by trying to
reclaim all available objects, which sounds reasonable.

The reason of this bug is that a page fault happens before unlocking the
head page at the end of memory_failure(). This strange page fault is
trying to access to address 0x20 and I'm not sure why qemu-kvm does
this, but anyway as a result the SIGSEGV makes qemu-kvm exit and on the
way we catch the bad page bug/warning because we try to free a locked
page (which was the former head page.)
To fix this, this patch suggests to shift page lock from head page to
tail page just after thp split. SIGSEGV still happens, but it affects
only error affected VMs, not a whole system.

When memblock_reserve() fails because memblock.reserved.regions cannot
be resized, the caller (e.g. alloc_bootmem()) is not informed of the
failed allocation. Therefore alloc_bootmem() silently returns the same
pointer again and again.
This patch adds a check for the return value of memblock_reserve() in
__alloc_memory_core().

Currently we take both the memcg_create_mutex and the set_limit_mutex
when we enable kmem accounting for a memory cgroup, which makes kmem
activation events serialize with both memcg creations and other memcg
limit updates (memory.limit, memory.memsw.limit). However, there is no
point in such strict synchronization rules there.
First, the set_limit_mutex was introduced to keep the memory.limit and
memory.memsw.limit values in sync. Since memory.kmem.limit can be set
independently of them, it is better to introduce a separate mutex to
synchronize against concurrent kmem limit updates.
Second, we take the memcg_create_mutex in order to make sure all
children of this memcg will be kmem-active as well. For achieving that,
it is enough to hold this mutex only while checking if
memcg_has_children() though. This guarantees that if a child is added
after we checked that the memcg has no children, the newly added cgroup
will see its parent kmem-active (of course if the latter succeeded), and
call kmem activation for itself.
This patch simplifies the locking rules of memcg_update_kmem_limit()
according to these considerations.

Currently we have two state bits in mem_cgroup::kmem_account_flags
regarding kmem accounting activation, ACTIVATED and ACTIVE. We start
kmem accounting only if both flags are set (memcg_can_account_kmem()),
plus throughout the code there are several places where we check only
the ACTIVE flag, but we never check the ACTIVATED flag alone. These
flags are both set from memcg_update_kmem_limit() under the
set_limit_mutex, the ACTIVE flag always being set after ACTIVATED, and
they never get cleared. That said checking if both flags are set is
equivalent to checking only for the ACTIVE flag, and since there is no
ACTIVATED flag checks, we can safely remove the ACTIVATED flag, and
nothing will change.
Let's try to understand what was the reason for introducing these flags.
The purpose of the ACTIVE flag is clear - it states that kmem should be
accounting to the cgroup. The only requirement for it is that it should
be set after we have fully initialized kmem accounting bits for the
cgroup and patched all static branches relating to kmem accounting.
Since we always check if static branch is enabled before actually
considering if we should account (otherwise we wouldn't benefit from
static branching), this guarantees us that we won't skip a commit or
uncharge after a charge due to an unpatched static branch.
Now let's move on to the ACTIVATED bit. As I proved in the beginning of
this message, it is absolutely useless, and removing it will change
nothing. So what was the reason introducing it?
The ACTIVATED flag was introduced by commit a8964b9b84 ("memcg: use
static branches when code not in use") in order to guarantee that
static_key_slow_inc(&memcg_kmem_enabled_key) would be called only once
for each memory cgroup when its kmem accounting was activated. The
point was that at that time the memcg_update_kmem_limit() function's
work-flow looked like this:
bool must_inc_static_branch = false;
cgroup_lock();
mutex_lock(&set_limit_mutex);
if (!memcg->kmem_account_flags && val != RESOURCE_MAX) {
/* The kmem limit is set for the first time */
ret = res_counter_set_limit(&memcg->kmem, val);
memcg_kmem_set_activated(memcg);
must_inc_static_branch = true;
} else
ret = res_counter_set_limit(&memcg->kmem, val);
mutex_unlock(&set_limit_mutex);
cgroup_unlock();
if (must_inc_static_branch) {
/* We can't do this under cgroup_lock */
static_key_slow_inc(&memcg_kmem_enabled_key);
memcg_kmem_set_active(memcg);
}
So that without the ACTIVATED flag we could race with other threads
trying to set the limit and increment the static branching ref-counter
more than once. Today we call the whole memcg_update_kmem_limit()
function under the set_limit_mutex and this race is impossible.
As now we understand why the ACTIVATED bit was introduced and why we
don't need it now, and know that removing it will change nothing anyway,
let's get rid of it.

We obtain a per-memcg cache from a root kmem_cache by dereferencing an
entry of the root cache's memcg_params::memcg_caches array. If we find
no cache for a memcg there on allocation, we initiate the memcg cache
creation (see memcg_kmem_get_cache()). The cache creation proceeds
asynchronously in memcg_create_kmem_cache() in order to avoid lock
clashes, so there can be several threads trying to create the same
kmem_cache concurrently, but only one of them may succeed. However, due
to a race in the code, it is not always true. The point is that the
memcg_caches array can be relocated when we activate kmem accounting for
a memcg (see memcg_update_all_caches(), memcg_update_cache_size()). If
memcg_update_cache_size() and memcg_create_kmem_cache() proceed
concurrently as described below, we can leak a kmem_cache.
Asume two threads schedule creation of the same kmem_cache. One of them
successfully creates it. Another one should fail then, but if
memcg_create_kmem_cache() interleaves with memcg_update_cache_size() as
follows, it won't:
memcg_create_kmem_cache() memcg_update_cache_size()
(called w/o mutexes held) (called with slab_mutex,
set_limit_mutex held)
------------------------- -------------------------
mutex_lock(&memcg_cache_mutex)
s->memcg_params=kzalloc(...)
new_cachep=cache_from_memcg_idx(cachep,idx)
// new_cachep==NULL => proceed to creation
s->memcg_params->memcg_caches[i]
=cur_params->memcg_caches[i]
// kmem_cache_create_memcg takes slab_mutex
// so we will hang around until
// memcg_update_cache_size finishes, but
// nothing will prevent it from succeeding so
// memcg_caches[idx] will be overwritten in
// memcg_register_cache!
new_cachep = kmem_cache_create_memcg(...)
mutex_unlock(&memcg_cache_mutex)
Let's fix this by moving the check for existence of the memcg cache to
kmem_cache_create_memcg() to be called under the slab_mutex and make it
return NULL if so.
A similar race is possible when destroying a memcg cache (see
kmem_cache_destroy()). Since memcg_unregister_cache(), which clears the
pointer in the memcg_caches array, is called w/o protection, we can race
with memcg_update_cache_size() and omit clearing the pointer. Therefore
memcg_unregister_cache() should be moved before we release the
slab_mutex.

All caches of the same memory cgroup are linked in the memcg_slab_caches
list via kmem_cache::memcg_params::list. This list is traversed, for
example, when we read memory.kmem.slabinfo.
Since the list actually consists of memcg_cache_params objects, we have
to convert an element of the list to a kmem_cache object using
memcg_params_to_cache(), which obtains the pointer to the cache from the
memcg_params::memcg_caches array of the corresponding root cache. That
said the pointer to a kmem_cache in its parent's memcg_params must be
initialized before adding the cache to the list, and cleared only after
it has been unlinked. Currently it is vice-versa, which can result in a
NULL ptr dereference while traversing the memcg_slab_caches list. This
patch restores the correct order.

Each root kmem_cache has pointers to per-memcg caches stored in its
memcg_params::memcg_caches array. Whenever we want to allocate a slab
for a memcg, we access this array to get per-memcg cache to allocate
from (see memcg_kmem_get_cache()). The access must be lock-free for
performance reasons, so we should use barriers to assert the kmem_cache
is up-to-date.
First, we should place a write barrier immediately before setting the
pointer to it in the memcg_caches array in order to make sure nobody
will see a partially initialized object. Second, we should issue a read
barrier before dereferencing the pointer to conform to the write
barrier.
However, currently the barrier usage looks rather strange. We have a
write barrier *after* setting the pointer and a read barrier *before*
reading the pointer, which is incorrect. This patch fixes this.

Currently, we have rather a messy function set relating to per-memcg
kmem cache initialization/destruction.
Per-memcg caches are created in memcg_create_kmem_cache(). This
function calls kmem_cache_create_memcg() to allocate and initialize a
kmem cache and then "registers" the new cache in the
memcg_params::memcg_caches array of the parent cache.
During its work-flow, kmem_cache_create_memcg() executes the following
memcg-related functions:
- memcg_alloc_cache_params(), to initialize memcg_params of the newly
created cache;
- memcg_cache_list_add(), to add the new cache to the memcg_slab_caches
list.
On the other hand, kmem_cache_destroy() called on a cache destruction
only calls memcg_release_cache(), which does all the work: it cleans the
reference to the cache in its parent's memcg_params::memcg_caches,
removes the cache from the memcg_slab_caches list, and frees
memcg_params.
Such an inconsistency between destruction and initialization paths make
the code difficult to read, so let's clean this up a bit.
This patch moves all the code relating to registration of per-memcg
caches (adding to memcg list, setting the pointer to a cache from its
parent) to the newly created memcg_register_cache() and
memcg_unregister_cache() functions making the initialization and
destruction paths look symmetrical.

Currently kmem_cache_create_memcg() backoffs on failure inside
conditionals, without using gotos. This results in the rollback code
duplication, which makes the function look cumbersome even though on
error we should only free the allocated cache. Since in the next patch
I am going to add yet another rollback function call on error path
there, let's employ labels instead of conditionals for undoing any

defining the per-node array in the mem_cgroup structure so that the
structure could be huge even if the system had the only NUMA node.
The situation was significantly improved by commit 45cf7ebd5a ("memcg:
reduce the size of struct memcg 244-fold"), which made the size of the
mem_cgroup structure calculated dynamically depending on the real number
of NUMA nodes installed on the system (nr_node_ids), so now there is no
point in using vmalloc here: the structure is allocated rarely and on
most systems its size is about 1K.

Since commit ff6a6da60b ("mm: accelerate munlock() treatment of THP
pages") munlock skips tail pages of a munlocked THP page. There is some
attempt to prevent bad consequences of racing with a THP page split, but
code inspection indicates that there are two problems that may lead to a
non-fatal, yet wrong outcome.
First, __split_huge_page_refcount() copies flags including PageMlocked
from the head page to the tail pages. Clearing PageMlocked by
munlock_vma_page() in the middle of this operation might result in part
of tail pages left with PageMlocked flag. As the head page still
appears to be a THP page until all tail pages are processed,
munlock_vma_page() might think it munlocked the whole THP page and skip
all the former tail pages. Before ff6a6da60, those pages would be
cleared in further iterations of munlock_vma_pages_range(), but NR_MLOCK
would still become undercounted (related the next point).
Second, NR_MLOCK accounting is based on call to hpage_nr_pages() after
the PageMlocked is cleared. The accounting might also become
inconsistent due to race with __split_huge_page_refcount()
- undercount when HUGE_PMD_NR is subtracted, but some tail pages are
left with PageMlocked set and counted again (only possible before
ff6a6da60)
- overcount when hpage_nr_pages() sees a normal page (split has already
finished), but the parallel split has meanwhile cleared PageMlocked from
additional tail pages
This patch prevents both problems via extending the scope of lru_lock in
munlock_vma_page(). This is convenient because:
- __split_huge_page_refcount() takes lru_lock for its whole operation
- munlock_vma_page() typically takes lru_lock anyway for page isolation
As this becomes a second function where page isolation is done with
lru_lock already held, factor this out to a new
__munlock_isolate_lru_page() function and clean up the code around.

This patch allows bad/dump_page() callers to specify a string about why

and use of VMALLOC_TOTAL instead of END - START in percpu.c"
* 'for-3.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu:
percpu: use VMALLOC_TOTAL instead of VMALLOC_END - VMALLOC_START
percpu-refcount: Add a WARN() for ref going negative
Some part of putback_lru_pages() and putback_movable_pages() is
duplicated, so it could confuse us what we should use. We can remove
putback_lru_pages() since it is not really needed now. This makes us
undestand and maintain the code more easily.
And comment on putback_movable_pages() is stale now, so fix it.

We should remove the page from the list if we fail with ENOSYS, since
migrate_pages() consider error cases except -ENOMEM and -EAGAIN as
permanent failure and it assumes that the page would be removed from the
list. Without this patch, we could overcount number of failure.
In addition, we should put back the new hugepage if
!hugepage_migration_support(). If not, we would leak hugepage memory.

Let's add a comment about where the failed page goes to, which makes
code more readable.

__GFP_NOFAIL may return NULL when coupled with GFP_NOWAIT or GFP_ATOMIC.
Luckily, nothing currently does such craziness. So instead of causing
such allocations to loop (potentially forever), we maintain the current
behavior and also warn about the new users of the deprecated flag.

Compaction used to start its migrate and free page scaners at the zone's
lowest and highest pfn, respectively. Later, caching was introduced to
remember the scanners' progress across compaction attempts so that
pageblocks are not re-scanned uselessly. Additionally, pageblocks where
isolation failed are marked to be quickly skipped when encountered again
in future compactions.
Currently, both the reset of cached pfn's and clearing of the pageblock
skip information for a zone is done in __reset_isolation_suitable().
This function gets called when:
- compaction is restarting after being deferred
- compact_blockskip_flush flag is set in compact_finished() when the scanners
meet (and not again cleared when direct compaction succeeds in allocation)
and kswapd acts upon this flag before going to sleep
This behavior is suboptimal for several reasons:
- when direct sync compaction is called after async compaction fails (in the
allocation slowpath), it will effectively do nothing, unless kswapd
happens to process the compact_blockskip_flush flag meanwhile. This is racy
and goes against the purpose of sync compaction to more thoroughly retry
the compaction of a zone where async compaction has failed.
The restart-after-deferring path cannot help here as deferring happens only
after the sync compaction fails. It is also done only for the preferred
zone, while the compaction might be done for a fallback zone.
- the mechanism of marking pageblock to be skipped has little value since the
cached pfn's are reset only together with the pageblock skip flags. This
effectively limits pageblock skip usage to parallel compactions.
This patch changes compact_finished() so that cached pfn's are reset
immediately when the scanners meet. Clearing pageblock skip flags is
unchanged, as well as the other situations where cached pfn's are reset.
This allows the sync-after-async compaction to retry pageblocks not
marked as skipped, such as blocks !MIGRATE_MOVABLE blocks that async
compactions now skips without marking them.
