Eric Dumazet 0ad9500e16 slub: prefetch next freelist pointer in slab_alloc()
Recycling a page is a problem, since freelist link chain is hot on
cpu(s) which freed objects, and possibly very cold on cpu currently
owning slab.

Adding a prefetch of cache line containing the pointer to next object in
slab_alloc() helps a lot in many workloads, in particular on assymetric
ones (allocations done on one cpu, frees on another cpus). Added cost is
three machine instructions only.

Examples on my dual socket quad core ht machine (Intel CPU E5540
@2.53GHz) (16 logical cpus, 2 memory nodes), 64bit kernel.

Konstantin Khlebnikov 9f9f1acd71 mm: fix rss count leakage during migration
Memory migration fills a pte with a migration entry and it doesn't
update the rss counters.  Then it replaces the migration entry with the
new page (or the old one if migration failed).  But between these two
passes this pte can be unmaped, or a task can fork a child and it will
get a copy of this migration entry.  Nobody accounts for this in the rss
counters.

This patch properly adjust rss counters for migration entries in
zap_pte_range() and copy_one_pte().  Thus we avoid extra atomic
operations on the migration fast-path.

Hugh Dickins 245132643e SHM_UNLOCK: fix Unevictable pages stranded after swap
Commit cc39c6a9bb ("mm: account skipped entries to avoid looping in
find_get_pages") correctly fixed an infinite loop; but left a problem
that find_get_pages() on shmem would return 0 (appearing to callers to
mean end of tree) when it meets a run of nr_pages swap entries.

The only uses of find_get_pages() on shmem are via pagevec_lookup(),
called from invalidate_mapping_pages(), and from shmctl SHM_UNLOCK's
scan_mapping_unevictable_pages().  The first is already commented, and
not worth worrying about; but the second can leave pages on the
Unevictable list after an unusual sequence of swapping and locking.

Fix that by using shmem_find_get_pages_and_swap() (then ignoring the
swap) instead of pagevec_lookup().

But I don't want to contaminate vmscan.c with shmem internals, nor
shmem.c with LRU locking.  So move scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() into
shmem.c, renaming it shmem_unlock_mapping(); and rename
check_move_unevictable_page() to check_move_unevictable_pages(), looping
down an array of pages, oftentimes under the same lock.

Leave out the "rotate unevictable list" block: that's a leftover from
when this was used for /proc/sys/vm/scan_unevictable_pages, whose flawed
handling involved looking at pages at tail of LRU.

Was there significance to the sequence first ClearPageUnevictable, then
test page_evictable, then SetPageUnevictable here? I think not, we're
under LRU lock, and have no barriers between those.

Hugh Dickins 85046579bd SHM_UNLOCK: fix long unpreemptible section
scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() is used to make SysV SHM_LOCKed pages
evictable again once the shared memory is unlocked.  It does this with
pagevec_lookup()s across the whole object (which might occupy most of
memory), and takes 300ms to unlock 7GB here.  A cond_resched() every
PAGEVEC_SIZE pages would be good.

However, KOSAKI-san points out that this is called under shmem.c's
info->lock, and it's also under shm.c's shm_lock(), both spinlocks.
There is no strong reason for that: we need to take these pages off the
unevictable list soonish, but those locks are not required for it.

So move the call to scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() from shmem.c's
unlock handling up to shm.c's unlock handling.  Remove the recently
added barrier, not needed now we have spin_unlock() before the scan.

Use get_file(), with subsequent fput(), to make sure we have a reference
to mapping throughout scan_mapping_unevictable_pages(): that's something
that was previously guaranteed by the shm_lock().

Remove shmctl's lru_add_drain_all(): we don't fault in pages at SHM_LOCK
time, and we lazily discover them to be Unevictable later, so it serves
no purpose for SHM_LOCK; and serves no purpose for SHM_UNLOCK, since
pages still on pagevec are not marked Unevictable.

The original code avoided redundant rescans by checking VM_LOCKED flag
at its level: now avoid them by checking shp's SHM_LOCKED.

The original code called scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() on a locked
area at shm_destroy() time: perhaps we once had accounting cross-checks
which required that, but not now, so skip the overhead and just let
inode eviction deal with them.

Put check_move_unevictable_page() and scan_mapping_unevictable_pages()
under CONFIG_SHMEM (with stub for the TINY case when ramfs is used),
more as comment than to save space; comment them used for SHM_UNLOCK.

Johannes Weiner 6568d4a9c9 mm: memcg: update the correct soft limit tree during migration
end_migration() passes the old page instead of the new page to commit
the charge.  This page descriptor is not used for committing itself,
though, since we also pass the (correct) page_cgroup descriptor.  But
it's used to find the soft limit tree through the page's zone, so the
soft limit tree of the old page's zone is updated instead of that of the
new page's, which might get slightly out of date until the next charge
reaches the ratelimit point.

This glitch has been present since 5564e88 ("memcg: condense
page_cgroup-to-page lookup points").

This fixes a bug that I introduced in 2.6.38.  It's benign enough (to my
knowledge) that we probably don't want this for stable.

We are crashing because we are trying to dereference NULL zone which
came from pfn=0 (struct page ffffea0000000000). According to the boot
log this page is marked reserved:
e820 update range: 0000000000000000 - 0000000000010000 (usable) ==> (reserved)

and early_node_map confirms that:
early_node_map[3] active PFN ranges
    1: 0x00000010 -> 0x0000009c
    1: 0x00000100 -> 0x000bffa3
    1: 0x00100000 -> 0x00240000

The problem is that memory_present works in PAGE_SECTION_MASK aligned
blocks so the reserved range sneaks into the the section as well.  This
also means that free_area_init_node will not take care of those reserved
pages and they stay uninitialized.

When we try to read the removable status we walk through all available
sections and hope that the zone is valid for all pages in the section.
But this is not true in this case as the zone and nid are not initialized.

We have only one node in this particular case and it is marked as node=1
(rather than 0) and that made the problem visible because page_to_nid will
return 0 and there are no zones on the node.

Let's check that the zone is valid and that the given pfn falls into its
boundaries and mark the section not removable.  This might cause some
false positives, probably, but we do not have any sane way to find out
whether the page is reserved by the platform or it is just not used for
whatever other reasons.

7bd0b0f0da ("memblock: Reimplement memblock allocation using

allocator using a reverse memblock iterator.  To avoid underflow
in the allocator loop, it simply raised the lower boundary to
the requested size under the assumption that requested size
would be far smaller than available memblocks.

This causes early page table allocation failure under certain

code jumps to the err_free label.

The err_free label runs a loop to check and free each of the array members
of the vas and vms arrays which is not required for this situation as none
of the array members have been allocated till this point.

Eliminate the extra loop we have to go through by introducing a new label

Hugh Dickins 3f79768f23 mm: rearrange putback_inactive_pages
There is sometimes confusion between the global putback_lru_pages() in
migrate.c and the static putback_lru_pages() in vmscan.c: rename the
latter putback_inactive_pages(): it helps shrink_inactive_list() rather as
move_active_pages_to_lru() helps shrink_active_list().

Remove unused scan_control arg from putback_inactive_pages() and from
update_isolated_counts().  Move clear_active_flags() inside
update_isolated_counts().  Move NR_ISOLATED accounting up into
shrink_inactive_list() itself, so the balance is clearer.

Do the spin_lock_irq() before calling putback_inactive_pages() and
spin_unlock_irq() after return from it, so that it better matches
update_isolated_counts() and move_active_pages_to_lru().

Hugh Dickins 2bcf887963 mm: take pagevecs off reclaim stack
Replace pagevecs in putback_lru_pages() and move_active_pages_to_lru()
by lists of pages_to_free: then apply Konstantin Khlebnikov's
free_hot_cold_page_list() to them instead of pagevec_release().

Which simplifies the flow (no need to drop and retake lock whenever
pagevec fills up) and reduces stale addresses in stack backtraces
(which often showed through the pagevecs); but more importantly,
removes another 120 bytes from the deepest stacks in page reclaim.
Although I've not recently seen an actual stack overflow here with
a vanilla kernel, move_active_pages_to_lru() has often featured in
deep backtraces.

However, free_hot_cold_page_list() does not handle compound pages
(nor need it: a Transparent HugePage would have been split by the
time it reaches the call in shrink_page_list()), but it is possible
for putback_lru_pages() or move_active_pages_to_lru() to be left
holding the last reference on a THP, so must exclude the unlikely
compound case before putting on pages_to_free.

Remove pagevec_strip(), its work now done in move_active_pages_to_lru().
The pagevec in scan_mapping_unevictable_pages() remains in mm/vmscan.c,
but that is never on the reclaim path, and cannot be replaced by a list.

Hugh Dickins 12d2710786 memcg: fix split_huge_page_refcounts()
This patch started off as a cleanup: __split_huge_page_refcounts() has to
cope with two scenarios, when the hugepage being split is already on LRU,
and when it is not; but why does it have to split that accounting across
three different sites?  Consolidate it in lru_add_page_tail(), handling
evictable and unevictable alike, and use standard add_page_to_lru_list()
when accounting is needed (when the head is not yet on LRU).

But a recent regression in -next, I guess the removal of PageCgroupAcctLRU
test from mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup(), makes this now a necessary fix:
under load, the MEM_CGROUP_ZSTAT count was wrapping to a huge number,
messing up reclaim calculations and causing a freeze at rmdir of cgroup.

Add a VM_BUG_ON to mem_cgroup_lru_del_list() when we're about to wrap that
count - this has not been the only such incident.  Document that
lru_add_page_tail() is for Transparent HugePages by #ifdef around it.

Mel Gorman 0cee34fd72 mm: vmscan: check if reclaim should really abort even if compaction_ready() is true for one zone
If compaction can proceed for a given zone, shrink_zones() does not
reclaim any more pages from it.  After commit [e0c2327: vmscan: abort
reclaim/compaction if compaction can proceed], do_try_to_free_pages()
tries to finish as soon as possible once one zone can compact.

This was intended to prevent slabs being shrunk unnecessarily but there
are side-effects.  One is that a small zone that is ready for compaction
will abort reclaim even if the chances of successfully allocating a THP
from that zone is small.  It also means that reclaim can return too early
even though sc->nr_to_reclaim pages were not reclaimed.

This partially reverts the commit until it is proven that slabs are really
being shrunk unnecessarily but preserves the check to return 1 to avoid
OOM if reclaim was aborted prematurely.

Mel Gorman fe4b1b244b mm: vmscan: when reclaiming for compaction, ensure there are sufficient free pages available
In commit e0887c19 ("vmscan: limit direct reclaim for higher order
allocations"), Rik noted that reclaim was too aggressive when THP was
enabled.  In his initial patch he used the number of free pages to decide
if reclaim should abort for compaction.  My feedback was that reclaim and
compaction should be using the same logic when deciding if reclaim should
be aborted.

Unfortunately, this had the effect of reducing THP success rates when the
workload included something like streaming reads that continually
allocated pages.  The window during which compaction could run and return
a THP was too small.

This patch combines Rik's two patches together.  compaction_suitable() is
still used to decide if reclaim should be aborted to allow compaction is
used.  However, it will also ensure that there is a reasonable buffer of
free pages available.  This improves upon the THP allocation success rates
but bounds the number of pages that are freed for compaction.

Mel Gorman a6bc32b899 mm: compaction: introduce sync-light migration for use by compaction
This patch adds a lightweight sync migrate operation MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT
mode that avoids writing back pages to backing storage.  Async compaction
maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT.
For other migrate_pages users such as memory hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is
used.

This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time,
particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be a
large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not support
->writepages.

Mel Gorman 66199712e9 mm: page allocator: do not call direct reclaim for THP allocations while compaction is deferred
If compaction is deferred, direct reclaim is used to try to free enough
pages for the allocation to succeed.  For small high-orders, this has a
reasonable chance of success.  However, if the caller has specified
__GFP_NO_KSWAPD to limit the disruption to the system, it makes more sense
to fail the allocation rather than stall the caller in direct reclaim.
This patch skips direct reclaim if compaction is deferred and the caller
specifies __GFP_NO_KSWAPD.

Async compaction only considers a subset of pages so it is possible for
compaction to be deferred prematurely and not enter direct reclaim even in
cases where it should.  To compensate for this, this patch also defers
compaction only if sync compaction failed.

Mel Gorman c824493528 mm: compaction: make isolate_lru_page() filter-aware again
Commit 39deaf85 ("mm: compaction: make isolate_lru_page() filter-aware")
noted that compaction does not migrate dirty or writeback pages and that
is was meaningless to pick the page and re-add it to the LRU list.  This
had to be partially reverted because some dirty pages can be migrated by
compaction without blocking.

This patch updates "mm: compaction: make isolate_lru_page" by skipping
over pages that migration has no possibility of migrating to minimise LRU
disruption.

Mel Gorman b969c4ab9f mm: compaction: determine if dirty pages can be migrated without blocking within ->migratepage
Asynchronous compaction is used when allocating transparent hugepages to
avoid blocking for long periods of time.  Due to reports of stalling,
there was a debate on disabling synchronous compaction but this severely
impacted allocation success rates.  Part of the reason was that many dirty
pages are skipped in asynchronous compaction by the following check;

	if (PageDirty(page) && !sync &&
		mapping->a_ops->migratepage != migrate_page)
			rc = -EBUSY;

This skips over all mapping aops using buffer_migrate_page() even though
it is possible to migrate some of these pages without blocking.  This
patch updates the ->migratepage callback with a "sync" parameter.  It is
the responsibility of the callback to fail gracefully if migration would
block.

Mel Gorman 7335084d44 mm: vmscan: do not OOM if aborting reclaim to start compaction
During direct reclaim it is possible that reclaim will be aborted so that
compaction can be attempted to satisfy a high-order allocation.  If this
decision is made before any pages are reclaimed, it is possible that 0 is
returned to the page allocator potentially triggering an OOM.  This has
not been observed but it is a possibility so this patch addresses it.

Andrea Arcangeli 5013473152 mm: vmscan: check if we isolated a compound page during lumpy scan
Properly take into account if we isolated a compound page during the lumpy
scan in reclaim and skip over the tail pages when encountered.  This
corrects the values given to the tracepoint for number of lumpy pages
isolated and will avoid breaking the loop early if compound pages smaller
than the requested allocation size are requested.

Mel Gorman b16d3d5a52 mm: compaction: use synchronous compaction for /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory
When asynchronous compaction was introduced, the
/proc/sys/vm/compact_memory handler should have been updated to always use
synchronous compaction.  This did not happen so this patch addresses it.

The assumption is if a user writes to /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory, they
are willing for that process to stall.

Mel Gorman a77ebd333c mm: compaction: allow compaction to isolate dirty pages
Short summary: There are severe stalls when a USB stick using VFAT is
used with THP enabled that are reduced by this series.  If you are
experiencing this problem, please test and report back and considering I
have seen complaints from openSUSE and Fedora users on this as well as a
few private mails, I'm guessing it's a widespread issue.  This is a new
type of USB-related stall because it is due to synchronous compaction
writing where as in the past the big problem was dirty pages reaching
the end of the LRU and being written by reclaim.

Am cc'ing Andrew this time and this series would replace
mm-do-not-stall-in-synchronous-compaction-for-thp-allocations.patch.
I'm also cc'ing Dave Jones as he might have merged that patch to Fedora
for wider testing and ideally it would be reverted and replaced by this
series.

That said, the later patches could really do with some review.  If this
series is not the answer then a new direction needs to be discussed
because as it is, the stalls are unacceptable as the results in this
leader show.

For testers that try backporting this to 3.1, it won't work because
there is a non-obvious dependency on not writing back pages in direct
reclaim so you need those patches too.

Changelog since V5
o Rebase to 3.2-rc5
o Tidy up the changelogs a bit

Changelog since V4
o Added reviewed-bys, credited Andrea properly for sync-light
o Allow dirty pages without mappings to be considered for migration
o Bound the number of pages freed for compaction
o Isolate PageReclaim pages on their own LRU list

This is against 3.2-rc5 and follows on from discussions on "mm: Do
not stall in synchronous compaction for THP allocations" and "[RFC
PATCH 0/5] Reduce compaction-related stalls". Initially, the proposed
patch eliminated stalls due to compaction which sometimes resulted in
user-visible interactivity problems on browsers by simply never using
sync compaction. The downside was that THP success allocation rates
were lower because dirty pages were not being migrated as reported by
Andrea. His approach at fixing this was nacked on the grounds that
it reverted fixes from Rik merged that reduced the amount of pages
reclaimed as it severely impacted his workloads performance.

This series attempts to reconcile the requirements of maximising THP
usage, without stalling in a user-visible fashion due to compaction
or cheating by reclaiming an excessive number of pages.

Patch 1 partially reverts commit 39deaf85 to allow migration to isolate
	dirty pages. This is because migration can move some dirty
	pages without blocking.

Patch 2 notes that the /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory handler is not using
	synchronous compaction when it should be. This is unrelated
	to the reported stalls but is worth fixing.

Patch 3 checks if we isolated a compound page during lumpy scan and
	account for it properly. For the most part, this affects
	tracing so it's unrelated to the stalls but worth fixing.

Patch 4 notes that it is possible to abort reclaim early for compaction
	and return 0 to the page allocator potentially entering the
	"may oom" path. This has not been observed in practice but
	the rest of the series potentially makes it easier to happen.

Patch 5 adds a sync parameter to the migratepage callback and gives
	the callback responsibility for migrating the page without
	blocking if sync==false. For example, fallback_migrate_page
	will not call writepage if sync==false. This increases the
	number of pages that can be handled by asynchronous compaction
	thereby reducing stalls.

Patch 6 restores filter-awareness to isolate_lru_page for migration.
	In practice, it means that pages under writeback and pages
	without a ->migratepage callback will not be isolated
	for migration.

Patch 7 avoids calling direct reclaim if compaction is deferred but
	makes sure that compaction is only deferred if sync
	compaction was used.

Patch 8 introduces a sync-light migration mechanism that sync compaction
	uses. The objective is to allow some stalls but to not call
	->writepage which can lead to significant user-visible stalls.

Patch 9 notes that while we want to abort reclaim ASAP to allow
	compation to go ahead that we leave a very small window of
	opportunity for compaction to run. This patch allows more pages
	to be freed by reclaim but bounds the number to a reasonable
	level based on the high watermark on each zone.

Patch 10 allows slabs to be shrunk even after compaction_ready() is
	true for one zone. This is to avoid a problem whereby a single
	small zone can abort reclaim even though no pages have been
	reclaimed and no suitably large zone is in a usable state.

Patch 11 fixes a problem with the rate of page scanning. As reclaim is
	rarely stalling on pages under writeback it means that scan
	rates are very high. This is particularly true for direct
	reclaim which is not calling writepage. The vmstat figures
	implied that much of this was busy work with PageReclaim pages
	marked for immediate reclaim. This patch is a prototype that
	moves these pages to their own LRU list.

This has been tested and other than 2 USB keys getting trashed,
nothing horrible fell out. That said, I am a bit unhappy with the
rescue logic in patch 11 but did not find a better way around it. It
does significantly reduce scan rates and System CPU time indicating
it is the right direction to take.

What is of critical importance is that stalls due to compaction
are massively reduced even though sync compaction was still
allowed. Testing from people complaining about stalls copying to USBs
with THP enabled are particularly welcome.

The following tests all involve THP usage and USB keys in some
way. Each test follows this type of pattern

1. Read from some fast fast storage, be it raw device or file. Each time
   the copy finishes, start again until the test ends
2. Write a large file to a filesystem on a USB stick. Each time the copy
   finishes, start again until the test ends
3. When memory is low, start an alloc process that creates a mapping
   the size of physical memory to stress THP allocation. This is the
   "real" part of the test and the part that is meant to trigger
   stalls when THP is enabled. Copying continues in the background.
4. Record the CPU usage and time to execute of the alloc process
5. Record the number of THP allocs and fallbacks as well as the number of THP
   pages in use a the end of the test just before alloc exited
6. Run the test 5 times to get an idea of variability
7. Between each run, sync is run and caches dropped and the test
   waits until nr_dirty is a small number to avoid interference
   or caching between iterations that would skew the figures.

The individual tests were then

writebackCPDeviceBasevfat
	Disable THP, read from a raw device (sda), vfat on USB stick
writebackCPDeviceBaseext4
	Disable THP, read from a raw device (sda), ext4 on USB stick
writebackCPDevicevfat
	THP enabled, read from a raw device (sda), vfat on USB stick
writebackCPDeviceext4
	THP enabled, read from a raw device (sda), ext4 on USB stick
writebackCPFilevfat
	THP enabled, read from a file on fast storage and USB, both vfat
writebackCPFileext4
	THP enabled, read from a file on fast storage and USB, both ext4

The kernels tested were

The results are very long unfortunately. I'll start with the case

The THP figures are obviously all 0 because THP was enabled. The
main thing to watch is the elapsed times and how they compare to
times when THP is enabled later. It's also important to note that
elapsed time is improved by this series as System CPu time is much
reduced.

The first thing to note is the "Elapsed Time" for the vanilla kernels
of 2249 seconds versus 56 with THP disabled which might explain the
reports of USB stalls with THP enabled. Applying the patches brings
performance in line with THP-disabled performance while isolating
pages for immediate reclaim from the LRU cuts down System CPU time.

The "Fault Alloc" success rate figures are also improved. The vanilla
kernel only managed to allocate 76.6 pages on average over the course
of 5 iterations where as applying the series allocated 181.20 on
average albeit it is well within variance. It's worth noting that
applies the series at least descreases the amount of variance which
implies an improvement.

Andrea's series had a higher success rate for THP allocations but
at a severe cost to elapsed time which is still better than vanilla
but still much worse than disabling THP altogether. One can bring my
series close to Andrea's by removing this check

        /*
         * If compaction is deferred for high-order allocations, it is because
         * sync compaction recently failed. In this is the case and the caller
         * has requested the system not be heavily disrupted, fail the
         * allocation now instead of entering direct reclaim
         */
        if (deferred_compaction && (gfp_mask & __GFP_NO_KSWAPD))
                goto nopage;

I didn't include a patch that removed the above check because hurting
overall performance to improve the THP figure is not what the average
user wants. It's something to consider though if someone really wants
to maximise THP usage no matter what it does to the workload initially.

This is summary of vmstat figures from the same test.

The main things to look at are

1. Page In/out figures are much reduced by the series.

2. Direct page scanning is incredibly high (264745.137 pages scanned
   per second on the vanilla kernel) but isolating PageReclaim pages
   on their own list reduces the number of pages scanned significantly.

3. The fact that "Page rescued immediate" is a positive number implies
   that we sometimes race removing pages from the LRU_IMMEDIATE list
   that need to be put back on a normal LRU but it happens only for
   0.07% of the pages marked for immediate reclaim.

Similar test but the USB stick is using ext4 instead of vfat. As
ext4 does not use writepage for migration, the large stalls due to
compaction when THP is enabled are not observed. Still, isolating
PageReclaim pages on their own list helped completion time largely
by reducing the number of pages scanned by direct reclaim although
time spend in congestion_wait could also be a factor.

Again, Andrea's series had far higher success rates for THP allocation
at the cost of elapsed time. I didn't look too closely but a quick
look at the vmstat figures tells me kswapd reclaimed 8 times more pages
than the patch series and direct reclaim reclaimed roughly three times
as many pages. It follows that if memory is aggressively reclaimed,
there will be more available for THP.

In this case, the test is reading/writing only from filesystems but as
it's vfat, it's slow due to calling writepage during compaction. Little
to observe really - the time to complete the test goes way down
with the series applied and THP allocation success rates go up in
comparison to 3.2-rc5.  The success rates are lower than 3.1.0 but
the elapsed time for that kernel is abysmal so it is not really a
sensible comparison.

As before, Andrea's series allocates more THPs at the cost of overall
performance.

Same type of story - elapsed times go down. In this case, allocation
success rates are roughtly the same. As before, Andrea's has higher
success rates but takes a lot longer.

Overall the series does reduce latencies and while the tests are
inherency racy as alloc competes with the cp processes, the variability
was included. The THP allocation rates are not as high as they could
be but that is because we would have to be more aggressive about
reclaim and compaction impacting overall performance.

This patch:

Commit 39deaf85 ("mm: compaction: make isolate_lru_page() filter-aware")
noted that compaction does not migrate dirty or writeback pages and that
is was meaningless to pick the page and re-add it to the LRU list.

What was missed during review is that asynchronous migration moves dirty
pages if their ->migratepage callback is migrate_page() because these can
be moved without blocking.  This potentially impacted hugepage allocation
success rates by a factor depending on how many dirty pages are in the
system.

This patch partially reverts 39deaf85 to allow migration to isolate dirty
pages again.  This increases how much compaction disrupts the LRU but that
is addressed later in the series.

Tao Ma ea4d349ffa vmscan/trace: Add 'file' info to trace_mm_vmscan_lru_isolate()
In trace_mm_vmscan_lru_isolate(), we don't output 'file' information to
the trace event and it is a bit inconvenient for the user to get the
real information(like pasted below).  mm_vmscan_lru_isolate:
isolate_mode=2 order=0 nr_requested=32 nr_scanned=32 nr_taken=32
contig_taken=0 contig_dirty=0 contig_failed=0

'active' can be obtained by analyzing mode(Thanks go to Minchan and
Mel), So this patch adds 'file' to the trace event and it now looks
like: mm_vmscan_lru_isolate: isolate_mode=2 order=0 nr_requested=32
nr_scanned=32 nr_taken=32 contig_taken=0 contig_dirty=0 contig_failed=0
file=0

Shaohua Li 45676885b7 thp: improve order in lru list for split huge page
Put the tail subpages of an isolated hugepage under splitting in the lru
reclaim head as they supposedly should be isolated too next.

Queues the subpages in physical order in the lru for non isolated
hugepages under splitting.  That might provide some theoretical cache
benefit to the buddy allocator later.

Shaohua Li f21760b15d thp: add tlb_remove_pmd_tlb_entry
We have tlb_remove_tlb_entry to indicate a pte tlb flush entry should be
flushed, but not a corresponding API for pmd entry.  This isn't a
problem so far because THP is only for x86 currently and tlb_flush()
under x86 will flush entire TLB.  But this is confusion and could be
missed if thp is ported to other arch.

Also convert tlb->need_flush = 1 to a VM_BUG_ON(!tlb->need_flush) in
__tlb_remove_page() as suggested by Andrea Arcangeli.  The
__tlb_remove_page() function is supposed to be called after
tlb_remove_xxx_tlb_entry() and we can catch any misuse.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 38c5d72f3e memcg: simplify LRU handling by new rule
Now, at LRU handling, memory cgroup needs to do complicated works to see
valid pc->mem_cgroup, which may be overwritten.

This patch is for relaxing the protocol. This patch guarantees
   - when pc->mem_cgroup is overwritten, page must not be on LRU.

By this, LRU routine can believe pc->mem_cgroup and don't need to check
bits on pc->flags.  This new rule may adds small overheads to swapin.  But
in most case, lru handling gets faster.

After this patch, PCG_ACCT_LRU bit is obsolete and removed.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 4e5f01c2b9 memcg: clear pc->mem_cgroup if necessary.
This is a preparation before removing a flag PCG_ACCT_LRU in page_cgroup
and reducing atomic ops/complexity in memcg LRU handling.

In some cases, pages are added to lru before charge to memcg and pages
are not classfied to memory cgroup at lru addtion.  Now, the lru where
the page should be added is determined a bit in page_cgroup->flags and
pc->mem_cgroup.  I'd like to remove the check of flag.

To handle the case pc->mem_cgroup may contain stale pointers if pages
are added to LRU before classification.  This patch resets
pc->mem_cgroup to root_mem_cgroup before lru additions.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 36b62ad539 memcg: simplify corner case handling of LRU.
This patch simplifies LRU handling of racy case (memcg+SwapCache).  At
charging, SwapCache tend to be on LRU already.  So, before overwriting
pc->mem_cgroup, the page must be removed from LRU and added to LRU
later.

This patch does
        spin_lock(zone->lru_lock);
        if (PageLRU(page))
                remove from LRU
        overwrite pc->mem_cgroup
        if (PageLRU(page))
                add to new LRU.
        spin_unlock(zone->lru_lock);

And guarantee all pages are not on LRU at modifying pc->mem_cgroup.
This patch also unfies lru handling of replace_page_cache() and
swapin.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki dc67d50465 memcg: simplify page cache charging
This patch is a clean up. No functional/logical changes.

Because of commit ef6a3c6311 ("mm: add replace_page_cache_page()
function") , FUSE uses replace_page_cache() instead of
add_to_page_cache().  Then, mem_cgroup_cache_charge() is not called
against FUSE's pages from splice.

So now, mem_cgroup_cache_charge() gets pages that are not on the LRU
with the exception of PageSwapCache pages.  For checking,
WARN_ON_ONCE(PageLRU(page)) is added.

David Rientjes de077d222d oom, memcg: fix exclusion of memcg threads after they have detached their mm
The oom killer relies on logic that identifies threads that have already
been oom killed when scanning the tasklist and, if found, deferring
until such threads have exited.  This is done by checking for any
candidate threads that have the TIF_MEMDIE bit set.

For memcg ooms, candidate threads are first found by calling
task_in_mem_cgroup() since the oom killer should not defer if there's an
oom killed thread in another memcg.

Unfortunately, task_in_mem_cgroup() excludes threads if they have
detached their mm in the process of exiting so TIF_MEMDIE is never
detected for such conditions.  This is different for global, mempolicy,
and cpuset oom conditions where a detached mm is only excluded after
checking for TIF_MEMDIE and deferring, if necessary, in
select_bad_process().

The fix is to return true if a task has a detached mm but is still in
the memcg or its hierarchy that is currently oom.  This will allow the
oom killer to appropriately defer rather than kill unnecessarily or, in
the worst case, panic the machine if nothing else is available to kill.

Pages have their corresponding page_cgroup descriptors set up before

The only time where lookup_page_cgroup() can return NULL is in the
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM-only page sanity checking code that executes while
feeding pages into the page allocator for the first time.

Remove the NULL checks against lookup_page_cgroup() results from all
callsites where we know that corresponding page_cgroup descriptors must
be allocated, and add a comment to the callsite that actually does have
to check the return value.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki e94c8a9cbc memcg: make mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup() more efficient
In split_huge_page(), mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup() is called to handle
page_cgroup modifcations.  It takes move_lock_page_cgroup() and modifies
page_cgroup and LRU accounting jobs and called HPAGE_PMD_SIZE - 1 times.

But thinking again,
  - compound_lock() is held at move_accout...then, it's not necessary
    to take move_lock_page_cgroup().
  - LRU is locked and all tail pages will go into the same LRU as
    head is now on.
  - page_cgroup is contiguous in huge page range.

This patch fixes mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup() as to be called once per
hugepage and reduce costs for spliting.

Johannes Weiner 6290df5458 mm: collect LRU list heads into struct lruvec
Having a unified structure with a LRU list set for both global zones and
per-memcg zones allows to keep that code simple which deals with LRU
lists and does not care about the container itself.

Once the per-memcg LRU lists directly link struct pages, the isolation
function and all other list manipulations are shared between the memcg
case and the global LRU case.

Johannes Weiner b95a2f2d48 mm: vmscan: convert global reclaim to per-memcg LRU lists
The global per-zone LRU lists are about to go away on memcg-enabled
kernels, global reclaim must be able to find its pages on the per-memcg
LRU lists.

Since the LRU pages of a zone are distributed over all existing memory
cgroups, a scan target for a zone is complete when all memory cgroups
are scanned for their proportional share of a zone's memory.

The forced scanning of small scan targets from kswapd is limited to
zones marked unreclaimable, otherwise kswapd can quickly overreclaim by
force-scanning the LRU lists of multiple memory cgroups.

Johannes Weiner ad2b8e6010 mm: memcg: remove optimization of keeping the root_mem_cgroup LRU lists empty
root_mem_cgroup, lacking a configurable limit, was never subject to
limit reclaim, so the pages charged to it could be kept off its LRU
lists.  They would be found on the global per-zone LRU lists upon
physical memory pressure and it made sense to avoid uselessly linking
them to both lists.

The global per-zone LRU lists are about to go away on memcg-enabled
kernels, with all pages being exclusively linked to their respective
per-memcg LRU lists.  As a result, pages of the root_mem_cgroup must
also be linked to its LRU lists again.  This is purely about the LRU
list, root_mem_cgroup is still not charged.

The overhead is temporary until the double-LRU scheme is going away
completely.

Johannes Weiner 5660048cca mm: move memcg hierarchy reclaim to generic reclaim code
Memory cgroup limit reclaim and traditional global pressure reclaim will
soon share the same code to reclaim from a hierarchical tree of memory
cgroups.

In preparation of this, move the two right next to each other in
shrink_zone().

The mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim() polymath is split into a soft
limit reclaim function, which still does hierarchy walking on its own,
and a limit (shrinking) reclaim function, which relies on generic
reclaim code to walk the hierarchy.

Johannes Weiner 527a5ec9a5 mm: memcg: per-priority per-zone hierarchy scan generations
Memory cgroup limit reclaim currently picks one memory cgroup out of the
target hierarchy, remembers it as the last scanned child, and reclaims
all zones in it with decreasing priority levels.

The new hierarchy reclaim code will pick memory cgroups from the same
hierarchy concurrently from different zones and priority levels, it
becomes necessary that hierarchy roots not only remember the last
scanned child, but do so for each zone and priority level.

Until now, we reclaimed memcgs like this:

    mem = mem_cgroup_iter(root)
    for each priority level:
      for each zone in zonelist:
        reclaim(mem, zone)

But subsequent patches will move the memcg iteration inside the loop
over the zones:

    for each priority level:
      for each zone in zonelist:
        mem = mem_cgroup_iter(root)
        reclaim(mem, zone)

And to keep with the original scan order - memcg -> priority -> zone -
the last scanned memcg has to be remembered per zone and per priority
level.

Furthermore, global reclaim will be switched to the hierarchy walk as
well.  Different from limit reclaim, which can just recheck the limit
after some reclaim progress, its target is to scan all memcgs for the
desired zone pages, proportional to the memcg size, and so reliably
detecting a full hierarchy round-trip will become crucial.

Currently, the code relies on one reclaimer encountering the same memcg
twice, but that is error-prone with concurrent reclaimers.  Instead, use
a generation counter that is increased every time the child with the
highest ID has been visited, so that reclaimers can stop when the
generation changes.

Johannes Weiner f16015fbf2 mm: vmscan: distinguish between memcg triggering reclaim and memcg being scanned
Memory cgroup hierarchies are currently handled completely outside of
the traditional reclaim code, which is invoked with a single memory
cgroup as an argument for the whole call stack.

Subsequent patches will switch this code to do hierarchical reclaim, so
there needs to be a distinction between a) the memory cgroup that is
triggering reclaim due to hitting its limit and b) the memory cgroup
that is being scanned as a child of a).

This patch introduces a struct mem_cgroup_zone that contains the
combination of the memory cgroup and the zone being scanned, which is
then passed down the stack instead of the zone argument.

Johannes Weiner 89b5fae536 mm: vmscan: distinguish global reclaim from global LRU scanning
The traditional zone reclaim code is scanning the per-zone LRU lists
during direct reclaim and kswapd, and the per-zone per-memory cgroup LRU
lists when reclaiming on behalf of a memory cgroup limit.

Subsequent patches will convert the traditional reclaim code to reclaim
exclusively from the per-memory cgroup LRU lists.  As a result, using
the predicate for which LRU list is scanned will no longer be
appropriate to tell global reclaim from limit reclaim.

This patch adds a global_reclaim() predicate to tell direct/kswapd
reclaim from memory cgroup limit reclaim and substitutes it in all
places where currently scanning_global_lru() is used for that.

Johannes Weiner 9f3a0d0933 mm: memcg: consolidate hierarchy iteration primitives
The memcg naturalization series:

Memory control groups are currently bolted onto the side of
traditional memory management in places where better integration would
be preferrable.  To reclaim memory, for example, memory control groups
maintain their own LRU list and reclaim strategy aside from the global
per-zone LRU list reclaim.  But an extra list head for each existing
page frame is expensive and maintaining it requires additional code.

This patchset disables the global per-zone LRU lists on memory cgroup
configurations and converts all its users to operate on the per-memory
cgroup lists instead.  As LRU pages are then exclusively on one list,
this saves two list pointers for each page frame in the system:

page_cgroup array size with 4G physical memory

  vanilla: allocated 31457280 bytes of page_cgroup
  patched: allocated 15728640 bytes of page_cgroup

At the same time, system performance for various workloads is
unaffected:

bloat in the traditional LRU handling and kswapd & direct reclaim
paths, without/with the memory controller configured in

  vanilla: 71.603(0.207) seconds

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki ab936cbcd0 memcg: add mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache() to fix LRU issue
Commit ef6a3c6311 ("mm: add replace_page_cache_page() function") added a
function replace_page_cache_page().  This function replaces a page in the
radix-tree with a new page.  WHen doing this, memory cgroup needs to fix
up the accounting information.  memcg need to check PCG_USED bit etc.

In some(many?) cases, 'newpage' is on LRU before calling
replace_page_cache().  So, memcg's LRU accounting information should be
fixed, too.

This patch adds mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache() and removes the old hooks.
 In that function, old pages will be unaccounted without touching
res_counter and new page will be accounted to the memcg (of old page).
WHen overwriting pc->mem_cgroup of newpage, take zone->lru_lock and avoid
races with LRU handling.

Background:
  replace_page_cache_page() is called by FUSE code in its splice() handling.
  Here, 'newpage' is replacing oldpage but this newpage is not a newly allocated
  page and may be on LRU. LRU mis-accounting will be critical for memory cgroup
  because rmdir() checks the whole LRU is empty and there is no account leak.
  If a page is on the other LRU than it should be, rmdir() will fail.

This bug was added in March 2011, but no bug report yet.  I guess there
are not many people who use memcg and FUSE at the same time with upstream
kernels.

The result of this bug is that admin cannot destroy a memcg because of
account leak.  So, no panic, no deadlock.  And, even if an active cgroup
exist, umount can succseed.  So no problem at shutdown.

Heiko Carstens 43570fd2f4 mm,slub,x86: decouple size of struct page from CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL
While implementing cmpxchg_double() on s390 I realized that we don't set
CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL despite the fact that we have support for it.

However setting that option will increase the size of struct page by
eight bytes on 64 bit, which we certainly do not want.  Also, it doesn't
make sense that a present cpu feature should increase the size of struct
page.

Besides that it looks like the dependency to CMPXCHG_LOCAL is wrong and
that it should depend on CMPXCHG_DOUBLE instead.

This patch:

If an architecture supports CMPXCHG_LOCAL this shouldn't result
automatically in larger struct pages if the SLUB allocator is used.
Instead introduce a new config option "HAVE_ALIGNED_STRUCT_PAGE" which
can be selected if a double word aligned struct page is required.  Also
update x86 Kconfig so that it should work as before.

Tejun Heo 1ebb7044c9 mempool: fix first round failure behavior
mempool modifies gfp_mask so that the backing allocator doesn't try too
hard or trigger warning message when there's pool to fall back on.  In
addition, for the first try, it removes __GFP_WAIT and IO, so that it
doesn't trigger reclaim or wait when allocation can be fulfilled from
pool; however, when that allocation fails and pool is empty too, it waits
for the pool to be replenished before retrying.

Allocation which could have succeeded after a bit of reclaim has to wait
on the reserved items and it's not like mempool doesn't retry with
__GFP_WAIT and IO.  It just does that *after* someone returns an element,
pointlessly delaying things.

Fix it by retrying immediately if the first round of allocation attempts
w/o __GFP_WAIT and IO fails.

Tejun Heo 0565d31776 mempool: drop unnecessary and incorrect BUG_ON() from mempool_destroy()
mempool_destroy() is a thin wrapper around free_pool().  The only thing it
adds is BUG_ON(pool->curr_nr != pool->min_nr).  The intention seems to be
to enforce that all allocated elements are freed; however, the BUG_ON()
can't achieve that (it doesn't know anything about objects above min_nr)
and incorrect as mempool_resize() is allowed to leave the pool extended
but not filled.  Furthermore, panicking is way worse than any memory leak
and there are better debug tools to track memory leaks.

Drop the BUG_ON() from mempool_destory() and as that leaves the function
identical to free_pool(), replace it.

Tejun Heo 5b990546e3 mempool: fix and document synchronization and memory barrier usage
mempool_alloc/free() use undocumented smp_mb()'s.  The code is slightly
broken and misleading.

The lockless part is in mempool_free().  It wants to determine whether the
item being freed needs to be returned to the pool or backing allocator
without grabbing pool->lock.  Two things need to be guaranteed for correct
operation.

1. pool->curr_nr + #allocated should never dip below pool->min_nr.
2. Waiters shouldn't be left dangling.

For , The only necessary condition is that curr_nr visible at free is
from after the allocation of the element being freed (details in the
comment).  For most cases, this is true without any barrier but there can
be fringe cases where the allocated pointer is passed to the freeing task
without going through memory barriers.  To cover this case, wmb is
necessary before returning from allocation and rmb is necessary before
reading curr_nr.  IOW,

	ALLOCATING TASK			FREEING TASK

	update pool state after alloc;
	wmb();
	pass pointer to freeing task;
					read pointer;
					rmb();
					read pool state to free;

The current code doesn't have wmb after pool update during allocation and
may theoretically, on machines where unlock doesn't behave as full wmb,
lead to pool depletion and deadlock.  smp_wmb() needs to be added after
successful allocation from reserved elements and smp_mb() in
mempool_free() can be replaced with smp_rmb().

For , the waiter needs to add itself to waitqueue and then check the
wait condition and the waker needs to update the wait condition and then
wake up.  Because waitqueue operations always go through full spinlock
synchronization, there is no need for extra memory barriers.

Furthermore, mempool_alloc() is already holding pool->lock when it decides
that it needs to wait.  There is no reason to do unlock - add waitqueue -
test condition again.  It can simply add itself to waitqueue while holding
pool->lock and then unlock and sleep.

This patch adds smp_wmb() after successful allocation from reserved pool,
replaces smp_mb() in mempool_free() with smp_rmb() and extend pool->lock
over waitqueue addition.  More importantly, it explains what memory
barriers do and how the lockless testing is correct.

-v2: Oleg pointed out that unlock doesn't imply wmb.  Added explicit
     smp_wmb() after successful allocation from reserved pool and
     updated comments accordingly.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 43d2b11324 tracepoint: add tracepoints for debugging oom_score_adj
oom_score_adj is used for guarding processes from OOM-Killer.  One of
problem is that it's inherited at fork().  When a daemon set oom_score_adj
and make children, it's hard to know where the value is set.

This patch adds some tracepoints useful for debugging. This patch adds
3 trace points.
  - creating new task
  - renaming a task (exec)
  - set oom_score_adj

To debug, users need to enable some trace pointer. Maybe filtering is useful as

# EVENT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/task/
# echo "oom_score_adj != 0" > $EVENT/task_newtask/filter
# echo "oom_score_adj != 0" > $EVENT/task_rename/filter
# echo 1 > $EVENT/enable
# EVENT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/oom/
# echo 1 > $EVENT/enable

output will be like this.
# grep oom /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

Andrea Arcangeli 948f017b09 mremap: enforce rmap src/dst vma ordering in case of vma_merge() succeeding in copy_vma()
migrate was doing an rmap_walk with speculative lock-less access on
pagetables.  That could lead it to not serializing properly against mremap
PT locks.  But a second problem remains in the order of vmas in the
same_anon_vma list used by the rmap_walk.

If vma_merge succeeds in copy_vma, the src vma could be placed after the
dst vma in the same_anon_vma list.  That could still lead to migrate
missing some pte.

This patch adds an anon_vma_moveto_tail() function to force the dst vma at
the end of the list before mremap starts to solve the problem.

If the mremap is very large and there are a lots of parents or childs
sharing the anon_vma root lock, this should still scale better than taking
the anon_vma root lock around every pte copy practically for the whole
duration of mremap.

Update: Hugh noticed special care is needed in the error path where
move_page_tables goes in the reverse direction, a second
anon_vma_moveto_tail() call is needed in the error path.

This program exercises the anon_vma_moveto_tail:

	static struct timeval oldstamp, newstamp;
	long diffsec;
	char *p, *p2, *p3, *p4;

		perror("memalign"), exit(1);
	if (posix_memalign((void **)&p2, 2*1024*1024, SIZE))
		perror("memalign"), exit(1);
	if (posix_memalign((void **)&p3, 2*1024*1024, SIZE))
		perror("memalign"), exit(1);

	memset(p, 0xff, SIZE);
	printf("%p\n", p);
	memset(p2, 0xff, SIZE);
	memset(p3, 0x77, 4096);
	if (memcmp(p, p2, SIZE))
		printf("error\n");
	p4 = mremap(p+SIZE/2, SIZE/2, SIZE/2, MREMAP_FIXED|MREMAP_MAYMOVE, p3);

Johannes Weiner a756cf5908 mm: try to distribute dirty pages fairly across zones
The maximum number of dirty pages that exist in the system at any time is
determined by a number of pages considered dirtyable and a user-configured
percentage of those, or an absolute number in bytes.

This number of dirtyable pages is the sum of memory provided by all the
zones in the system minus their lowmem reserves and high watermarks, so
that the system can retain a healthy number of free pages without having
to reclaim dirty pages.

But there is a flaw in that we have a zoned page allocator which does not
care about the global state but rather the state of individual memory
zones.  And right now there is nothing that prevents one zone from filling
up with dirty pages while other zones are spared, which frequently leads
to situations where kswapd, in order to restore the watermark of free
pages, does indeed have to write pages from that zone's LRU list.  This
can interfere so badly with IO from the flusher threads that major
filesystems (btrfs, xfs, ext4) mostly ignore write requests from reclaim
already, taking away the VM's only possibility to keep such a zone
balanced, aside from hoping the flushers will soon clean pages from that
zone.

Enter per-zone dirty limits.  They are to a zone's dirtyable memory what
the global limit is to the global amount of dirtyable memory, and try to
make sure that no single zone receives more than its fair share of the
globally allowed dirty pages in the first place.  As the number of pages
considered dirtyable excludes the zones' lowmem reserves and high
watermarks, the maximum number of dirty pages in a zone is such that the
zone can always be balanced without requiring page cleaning.

As this is a placement decision in the page allocator and pages are
dirtied only after the allocation, this patch allows allocators to pass
__GFP_WRITE when they know in advance that the page will be written to and
become dirty soon.  The page allocator will then attempt to allocate from
the first zone of the zonelist - which on NUMA is determined by the task's
NUMA memory policy - that has not exceeded its dirty limit.

At first glance, it would appear that the diversion to lower zones can
increase pressure on them, but this is not the case.  With a full high
zone, allocations will be diverted to lower zones eventually, so it is
more of a shift in timing of the lower zone allocations.  Workloads that
previously could fit their dirty pages completely in the higher zone may
be forced to allocate from lower zones, but the amount of pages that
"spill over" are limited themselves by the lower zones' dirty constraints,
and thus unlikely to become a problem.

For now, the problem of unfair dirty page distribution remains for NUMA
configurations where the zones allowed for allocation are in sum not big
enough to trigger the global dirty limits, wake up the flusher threads and
remedy the situation.  Because of this, an allocation that could not
succeed on any of the considered zones is allowed to ignore the dirty
limits before going into direct reclaim or even failing the allocation,
until a future patch changes the global dirty throttling and flusher
thread activation so that they take individual zone states into account.

Johannes Weiner ccafa2879f mm: writeback: cleanups in preparation for per-zone dirty limits
The next patch will introduce per-zone dirty limiting functions in
addition to the traditional global dirty limiting.

Rename determine_dirtyable_memory() to global_dirtyable_memory() before
adding the zone-specific version, and fix up its documentation.

Also, move the functions to determine the dirtyable memory and the
function to calculate the dirty limit based on that together so that their
relationship is more apparent and that they can be commented on as a
group.

Johannes Weiner ab8fabd46f mm: exclude reserved pages from dirtyable memory
Per-zone dirty limits try to distribute page cache pages allocated for
writing across zones in proportion to the individual zone sizes, to reduce
the likelihood of reclaim having to write back individual pages from the
LRU lists in order to make progress.

This patch:

The amount of dirtyable pages should not include the full number of free
pages: there is a number of reserved pages that the page allocator and
kswapd always try to keep free.

The closer (reclaimable pages - dirty pages) is to the number of reserved
pages, the more likely it becomes for reclaim to run into dirty pages:

       +----------+ ---
       |   anon   |  |
       +----------+  |
       |          |  |
       |          |  -- dirty limit new    -- flusher new
       |   file   |  |                     |
       |          |  |                     |
       |          |  -- dirty limit old    -- flusher old
       |          |                        |
       +----------+                       --- reclaim
       | reserved |
       +----------+
       |  kernel  |
       +----------+

This patch introduces a per-zone dirty reserve that takes both the lowmem
reserve as well as the high watermark of the zone into account, and a
global sum of those per-zone values that is subtracted from the global
amount of dirtyable pages.  The lowmem reserve is unavailable to page
cache allocations and kswapd tries to keep the high watermark free.  We
don't want to end up in a situation where reclaim has to clean pages in
order to balance zones.

Not treating reserved pages as dirtyable on a global level is only a
conceptual fix.  In reality, dirty pages are not distributed equally
across zones and reclaim runs into dirty pages on a regular basis.

But it is important to get this right before tackling the problem on a
per-zone level, where the distance between reclaim and the dirty pages is
mostly much smaller in absolute numbers.

Stanislaw Gruszka c0a32fc5a2 mm: more intensive memory corruption debugging
With CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured, the CPU will generate an exception
on access (read,write) to an unallocated page, which permits us to catch
code which corrupts memory.  However the kernel is trying to maximise
memory usage, hence there are usually few free pages in the system and
buggy code usually corrupts some crucial data.

This patch changes the buddy allocator to keep more free/protected pages
and to interlace free/protected and allocated pages to increase the
probability of catching corruption.

When the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,
debug_guardpage_minorder defines the minimum order used by the page
allocator to grant a request.  The requested size will be returned with
the remaining pages used as guard pages.

The default value of debug_guardpage_minorder is zero: no change from
current behaviour.

Hillf Danton a734bcc812 hugetlb: detect race upon page allocation failure during COW
Currently we are not rechecking pte_same in hugetlb_cow after we take ptl
lock again in the page allocation failure code path and simply retry
again.  This is not an issue at the moment because hugetlb fault path is
protected by hugetlb_instantiation_mutex so we cannot race.

The original page is locked and so we cannot race even with the page
migration.

Let's add the pte_same check anyway as we want to be consistent with the
other check later in this function and be safe if we ever remove the
mutex.

Mel Gorman f90ac3982a mm: avoid livelock on !__GFP_FS allocations
Colin Cross reported;

  Under the following conditions, __alloc_pages_slowpath can loop forever:
  gfp_mask & __GFP_WAIT is true
  gfp_mask & __GFP_FS is false
  reclaim and compaction make no progress
  order <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER

  These conditions happen very often during suspend and resume,
  when pm_restrict_gfp_mask() effectively converts all GFP_KERNEL
  allocations into __GFP_WAIT.

  The oom killer is not run because gfp_mask & __GFP_FS is false,
  but should_alloc_retry will always return true when order is less
  than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.

In his fix, he avoided retrying the allocation if reclaim made no progress
and __GFP_FS was not set.  The problem is that this would result in
GFP_NOIO allocations failing that previously succeeded which would be very
unfortunate.

The big difference between GFP_NOIO and suspend converting GFP_KERNEL to
behave like GFP_NOIO is that normally flushers will be cleaning pages and
kswapd reclaims pages allowing GFP_NOIO to succeed after a short delay.
The same does not necessarily apply during suspend as the storage device
may be suspended.

This patch special cases the suspend case to fail the page allocation if
reclaim cannot make progress and adds some documentation on how
gfp_allowed_mask is currently used.  Failing allocations like this may
cause suspend to abort but that is better than a livelock.

Mel Gorman 938929f14c mm: reduce the amount of work done when updating min_free_kbytes
When min_free_kbytes is updated, some pageblocks are marked
MIGRATE_RESERVE.  Ordinarily, this work is unnoticable as it happens early
in boot but on large machines with 1TB of memory, this has been reported
to delay boot times, probably due to the NUMA distances involved.

The bulk of the work is due to calling calling pageblock_is_reserved() an
unnecessary amount of times and accessing far more struct page metadata
than is necessary.  This patch significantly reduces the amount of work
done by setup_zone_migrate_reserve() improving boot times on 1TB machines.

Logic added in commit 8cab4754d2 ("vmscan: make mapped executable pages

Currently these pages can become "first class citizens" only after second
usage.  After this patch page_check_references() will activate they after
first usage, and executable code gets yet better chance to stay in memory.

Konstantin Khlebnikov 34dbc67a64 vmscan: promote shared file mapped pages
Commit 6457474624 ("vmscan: detect mapped file pages used only once")
greatly decreases lifetime of single-used mapped file pages.
Unfortunately it also decreases life time of all shared mapped file
pages.  Because after commit bf3f3bc5e7 ("mm: don't mark_page_accessed
in fault path") page-fault handler does not mark page active or even
referenced.

Thus page_check_references() activates file page only if it was used twice
while it stays in inactive list, meanwhile it activates anon pages after
first access.  Inactive list can be small enough, this way reclaimer can
accidentally throw away any widely used page if it wasn't used twice in
short period.

After this patch page_check_references() also activate file mapped page at
first inactive list scan if this page is already used multiple times via
several ptes.

I found this while trying to fix degragation in rhel6 (~2.6.32) from rhel5
(~2.6.18).  There a complete mess with >100 web/mail/spam/ftp containers,
they share all their files but there a lot of anonymous pages: ~500mb
shared file mapped memory and 15-20Gb non-shared anonymous memory.  In
this situation major-pagefaults are very costly, because all containers
share the same page.  In my load kernel created a disproportionate
pressure on the file memory, compared with the anonymous, they equaled
only if I raise swappiness up to 150 =)

These patches actually wasn't helped a lot in my problem, but I saw
noticable (10-20 times) reduce in count and average time of
major-pagefault in file-mapped areas.

Actually both patches are fixes for commit v2.6.33-5448-g6457474, because
it was aimed at one scenario (singly used pages), but it breaks the logic
in other scenarios (shared and/or executable pages)

Glauber Costa f3f511e1ce net: fix sock_clone reference mismatch with tcp memcontrol
Sockets can also be created through sock_clone. Because it copies
all data in the sock structure, it also copies the memcg-related pointer,
and all should be fine. However, since we now use reference counts in
socket creation, we are left with some sockets that have no reference
counts. It matters when we destroy them, since it leads to a mismatch.

Jan Beulich cdcd629869 x86: Fix and improve cmpxchg_double{,_local}()
Just like the per-CPU ones they had several
problems/shortcomings:

Only the first memory operand was mentioned in the asm()
operands, and the 2x64-bit version didn't have a memory clobber
while the 2x32-bit one did. The former allowed the compiler to
not recognize the need to re-load the data in case it had it
cached in some register, while the latter was overly
destructive.

The types of the local copies of the old and new values were
incorrect (the types of the pointed-to variables should be used
here, to make sure the respective old/new variable types are
compatible).

The __dummy/__junk variables were pointless, given that local
copies of the inputs already existed (and can hence be used for
discarded outputs).

The 32-bit variant of cmpxchg_double_local() referenced
cmpxchg16b_local().

At once also:

 - change the return value type to what it really is: 'bool'
 - unify 32- and 64-bit variants
 - abstract out the common part of the 'normal' and 'local' variants

Add new flag bit "MF_ACTION_REQUIRED" to be used by machine check
code to force a signal with si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AR in the case
where the error occurs in processor execution context. Pass the
flags argument along call chain:
	memory_failure()
	  hwpoison_user_mappings()
	    kill_procs()
	      kill_proc()

Drop the "_ao" suffix from kill_procs_ao() and kill_proc_ao() since
they can now handle "action required" as well as "action optional" errors.

There is only one caller of memory_failure(), all other users call
__memory_failure() and pass in the flags argument explicitly. The
lone user of memory_failure() will soon need to pass flags too.

Add flags argument to the callsite in mce.c. Delete the old memory_failure()
function, and then rename __memory_failure() without the leading "__".

Provide clearer message when action optional memory errors are ignored.

KOSAKI Motohiro e26a51148f mm/mempolicy.c: refix mbind_range() vma issue
commit 8aacc9f550 ("mm/mempolicy.c: fix pgoff in mbind vma merge") is the
slightly incorrect fix.

Why? Think following case.

1. map 4 pages of a file at offset 0

   [0123]

2. map 2 pages just after the first mapping of the same file but with
   page offset 2

   [0123][23]

3. mbind() 2 pages from the first mapping at offset 2.
   mbind_range() should treat new vma is,

   [0123][23]
     |23|
     mbind vma

   but it does

   [0123][23]

Glauber Costa 65c64ce8ee Partial revert "Basic kernel memory functionality for the Memory Controller"
This reverts commit e5671dfae5.

After a follow up discussion with Michal, it was agreed it would
be better to leave the kmem controller with just the tcp files,
deferring the behavior of the other general memory.kmem.* files
for a later time, when more caches are controlled. This is because
generic kmem files are not used by tcp accounting and it is
not clear how other slab caches would fit into the scheme.

We are reverting the original commit so we can track the reference.
Part of the patch is kept, because it was used by the later tcp
code. Conflicts are shown in the bottom. init/Kconfig is removed from
the revert entirely.

preemption and interrupt state.  That has no material change for x86

now get code generated that disables interrupts instead of preemption.

Frantisek Hrbata ff05b6f7ae oom: fix integer overflow of points in oom_badness
An integer overflow will happen on 64bit archs if task's sum of rss,
swapents and nr_ptes exceeds (2^31)/1000 value.  This was introduced by
commit

f755a04 oom: use pte pages in OOM score

where the oom score computation was divided into several steps and it's no
longer computed as one expression in unsigned long(rss, swapents, nr_pte
are unsigned long), where the result value assigned to points(int) is in
range(1..1000).  So there could be an int overflow while computing

176          points *= 1000;

and points may have negative value. Meaning the oom score for a mem hog task
will be one.

196          if (points <= 0)
197                  return 1;

For example:
[ 3366]     0  3366 35390480 24303939   5       0             0 oom01
Out of memory: Kill process 3366 (oom01) score 1 or sacrifice child

Here the oom1 process consumes more than 24303939(rss)*4096~=92GB physical
memory, but it's oom score is one.

In this situation the mem hog task is skipped and oom killer kills another and
most probably innocent task with oom score greater than one.

The points variable should be of type long instead of int to prevent the
int overflow.

Wu Fengguang bdaac4902a writeback: balanced_rate cannot exceed write bandwidth
Add an upper limit to balanced_rate according to the below inequality.
This filters out some rare but huge singular points, which at least
enables more readable gnuplot figures.

When there are N dd dirtiers,

	balanced_dirty_ratelimit = write_bw / N

So it holds that

	balanced_dirty_ratelimit <= write_bw

The singular points originate from dirty_rate in the below formular:

        balanced_dirty_ratelimit = task_ratelimit * write_bw / dirty_rate
where
	dirty_rate = (number of page dirties in the past 200ms) / 200ms

In the extreme case, if all dd tasks suddenly get blocked on something
else and hence no pages are dirtied at all, dirty_rate will be 0 and
balanced_dirty_ratelimit will be inf. This could happen in reality.

Note that these huge singular points are not a real threat, since they
are _guaranteed_ to be filtered out by the
	min(balanced_dirty_ratelimit, task_ratelimit)
line in bdi_update_dirty_ratelimit(). task_ratelimit is based on the
number of dirty pages, which will never _suddenly_ fly away like
balanced_dirty_ratelimit. So any weirdly large balanced_dirty_ratelimit
will be cut down to the level of task_ratelimit.

There won't be tiny singular points though, as long as the dirty pages
lie inside the dirty throttling region (above the freerun region).
Because there the dd tasks will be throttled by balanced_dirty_pages()
and won't be able to suddenly dirty much more pages than average.

This helps to reduce dirty throttling polls and hence CPU overheads.

bdi->dirty_exceeded typically only helps when suddenly starting 100+
dd's on a disk, in which case the dd's may need to poll
balance_dirty_pages() earlier than tsk->nr_dirtied_pause.

Wu Fengguang 5b9b357435 writeback: avoid tiny dirty poll intervals
The LKP tests see big 56% regression for the case fio_mmap_randwrite_64k.
Shaohua manages to root cause it to be the much smaller dirty pause times
and hence much more frequent invocations to the IO-less balance_dirty_pages().
Since fio_mmap_randwrite_64k effectively contains both reads and writes,
the more frequent pauses triggered more idling in the cfq IO scheduler.

The solution is to increase pause time all the way up to the max 200ms
in this case, which is found to restore most performance. This will help
reduce CPU overheads in other cases, too.

Note that I don't expect many performance critical workloads to run this
access pattern: the mmap read-on-write is rather inefficient and could
be avoided by doing normal writes syscalls.

Wu Fengguang 7ccb9ad536 writeback: max, min and target dirty pause time
Control the pause time and the call intervals to balance_dirty_pages()
with three parameters:

1) max_pause, limited by bdi_dirty and MAX_PAUSE

2) the target pause time, grows with the number of dd tasks
   and is normally limited by max_pause/2

3) the minimal pause, set to half the target pause
   and is used to skip short sleeps and accumulate them into bigger ones

The typical behaviors after patch:

- if ever task_ratelimit is far below dirty_ratelimit, the pause time
  will remain constant at max_pause and nr_dirtied_pause will be
  fluctuating with task_ratelimit

- in the normal cases, nr_dirtied_pause will remain stable (keep in the
  same pace with dirty_ratelimit) and the pause time will be fluctuating
  with task_ratelimit

In summary, someone has to fluctuate with task_ratelimit, because

	task_ratelimit = nr_dirtied_pause / pause

We normally prefer a stable nr_dirtied_pause, until reaching max_pause.

The notable behavior changes are:

- in stable workloads, there will no longer be sudden big trajectory
  switching of nr_dirtied_pause as concerned by Peter. It will be as
  smooth as dirty_ratelimit and changing proportionally with it (as
  always, assuming bdi bandwidth does not fluctuate across 2^N lines,
  otherwise nr_dirtied_pause will show up in 2+ parallel trajectories)

- in the rare cases when something keeps task_ratelimit far below
  dirty_ratelimit, the smoothness can no longer be retained and
  nr_dirtied_pause will be "dancing" with task_ratelimit. This fixes a
  (not that destructive but still not good) bug that
	  dirty_ratelimit gets brought down undesirably
	  <= balanced_dirty_ratelimit is under estimated
	  <= weakly executed task_ratelimit
	  <= pause goes too large and gets trimmed down to max_pause
	  <= nr_dirtied_pause (based on dirty_ratelimit) is set too large
	  <= dirty_ratelimit being much larger than task_ratelimit

- introduce min_pause to avoid small pause sleeps

- when pause is trimmed down to max_pause, try to compensate it at the
  next pause time

The "refactor" type of changes are:

The max_pause equation is slightly transformed to make it slightly more
efficient.

We now scale target_pause by (N * 10ms) on 2^N concurrent tasks, which
is effectively equal to the original scaling max_pause by (N * 20ms)
because the original code does implicit target_pause ~= max_pause / 2.
Based on the same implicit ratio, target_pause starts with 10ms on 1 dd.

In the rare case that the task slept longer than the 200ms period time
(result in negative pause time), the sleep time will be compensated in
the following periods, too, if it's less than 1 second.

Accumulated errors are carefully avoided as long as the max pause area
is not hitted.

Pseudo code:

        period = pages_dirtied / task_ratelimit;
        think = jiffies - dirty_paused_when;
        pause = period - think;

1) normal case: period > think

        pause = period - think
        dirty_paused_when = jiffies + pause
        nr_dirtied = 0

                             period time
              |===============================>|
                  think time      pause time
              |===============>|==============>|
        ------|----------------|---------------|------------------------
        dirty_paused_when   jiffies

2) no pause case: period <= think

        don't pause; reduce future pause time by:
        dirty_paused_when += period
        nr_dirtied = 0

                           period time

Wu Fengguang 2f800fbd77 writeback: fix dirtied pages accounting on redirty
De-account the accumulative dirty counters on page redirty.

Page redirties (very common in ext4) will introduce mismatch between
counters (a) and (b)

a) NR_DIRTIED, BDI_DIRTIED, tsk->nr_dirtied
b) NR_WRITTEN, BDI_WRITTEN

This will introduce systematic errors in balanced_rate and result in
dirty page position errors (ie. the dirty pages are no longer balanced
around the global/bdi setpoints).

Wu Fengguang 54848d73f9 writeback: charge leaked page dirties to active tasks
It's a years long problem that a large number of short-lived dirtiers
(eg. gcc instances in a fast kernel build) may starve long-run dirtiers
(eg. dd) as well as pushing the dirty pages to the global hard limit.

The solution is to charge the pages dirtied by the exited gcc to the
other random dirtying tasks. It sounds not perfect, however should
behave good enough in practice, seeing as that throttled tasks aren't
actually running so those that are running are more likely to pick it up
and get throttled, therefore promoting an equal spread.

Eugene Surovegin 9f57bd4d6d percpu: fix per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() handling of non-page-aligned addresses
per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() incorrectly rounds up its result for non-kmalloc
case to the page boundary, which is bogus for any non-page-aligned
address.

This affects the only in-tree user of this function - sysfs handler
for per-cpu 'crash_notes' physical address.  The trouble is that the
crash_notes per-cpu variable is not page-aligned:

crash_notes = 0xc08e8ed4
PER-CPU OFFSET VALUES:
 CPU 0: 3711f000
 CPU 1: 37129000
 CPU 2: 37133000
 CPU 3: 3713d000

So, the per-cpu addresses are:
 crash_notes on CPU 0: f7a07ed4 => phys 36b57ed4
 crash_notes on CPU 1: f7a11ed4 => phys 36b4ded4
 crash_notes on CPU 2: f7a1bed4 => phys 36b43ed4
 crash_notes on CPU 3: f7a25ed4 => phys 36b39ed4

However, /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/crash_notes says:
 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/crash_notes: 36b57000
 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/crash_notes: 36b4d000
 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/crash_notes: 36b43000
 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/crash_notes: 36b39000

As you can see, all values are rounded down to a page
boundary. Consequently, this is where kexec sets up the NOTE segments,
and thus where the secondary kernel is looking for them. However, when
the first kernel crashes, it saves the notes to the unaligned
addresses, where they are not found.

Fix it by adding offset_in_page() to the translated page address.

Shaohua Li b13683d1cc slub: add missed accounting
With per-cpu partial list, slab is added to partial list first and then moved
to node list. The __slab_free() code path for add/remove_partial is almost
deprecated(except for slub debug). But we forget to account add/remove_partial
when move per-cpu partial pages to node list, so the statistics for such events
are always 0. Add corresponding accounting.

This is against the patch "slub: use correct parameter to add a page to

It is possible current thread migrates right before disabling irqs in

allocation instead of scratching c->freelist.

Many thanks to Zhihua Che for spotting this bug, introduced in 2.6.39

V2: Its also possible an IRQ freed one (or several) object(s) and
populated c->freelist, so its not a CONFIG_PREEMPT only problem.

Tejun Heo 2f7ee5691e cgroup: introduce cgroup_taskset and use it in subsys->can_attach(), cancel_attach() and attach()
Currently, there's no way to pass multiple tasks to cgroup_subsys
methods necessitating the need for separate per-process and per-task
methods.  This patch introduces cgroup_taskset which can be used to
pass multiple tasks and their associated cgroups to cgroup_subsys
methods.

Three methods - can_attach(), cancel_attach() and attach() - are
converted to use cgroup_taskset.  This unifies passed parameters so
that all methods have access to all information.  Conversions in this
patchset are identical and don't introduce any behavior change.

-v2: documentation updated as per Paul Menage's suggestion.

The goal of this work is to move the memory pressure tcp
controls to a cgroup, instead of just relying on global
conditions.

To avoid excessive overhead in the network fast paths,
the code that accounts allocated memory to a cgroup is
hidden inside a static_branch(). This branch is patched out
until the first non-root cgroup is created. So when nobody
is using cgroups, even if it is mounted, no significant performance
penalty should be seen.

This patch handles the generic part of the code, and has nothing

Mel Gorman 1368edf064 mm: vmalloc: check for page allocation failure before vmlist insertion
Commit f5252e00 ("mm: avoid null pointer access in vm_struct via
/proc/vmallocinfo") adds newly allocated vm_structs to the vmlist after
it is fully initialised.  Unfortunately, it did not check that
__vmalloc_area_node() successfully populated the area.  In the event of
allocation failure, the vmalloc area is freed but the pointer to freed
memory is inserted into the vmlist leading to a a crash later in
get_vmalloc_info().

This patch adds a check for ____vmalloc_area_node() failure within
__vmalloc_node_range.  It does not use "goto fail" as in the previous
error path as a warning was already displayed by __vmalloc_area_node()
before it called vfree in its failure path.

Credit goes to Luciano Chavez for doing all the real work of identifying
exactly where the problem was.

Andrea Arcangeli 1dfb059b94 thp: reduce khugepaged freezing latency
khugepaged can sometimes cause suspend to fail, requiring that the user
retry the suspend operation.

Use wait_event_freezable_timeout() instead of
schedule_timeout_interruptible() to avoid missing freezer wakeups.  A
try_to_freeze() would have been needed in the khugepaged_alloc_hugepage
tight loop too in case of the allocation failing repeatedly, and
wait_event_freezable_timeout will provide it too.

khugepaged would still freeze just fine by trying again the next minute
but it's better if it freezes immediately.

A shrinker function can return -1, means that it cannot do anything
without a risk of deadlock.  For example prune_super() does this if it
cannot grab a superblock refrence, even if nr_to_scan=0.  Currently we
interpret this -1 as a ULONG_MAX size shrinker and evaluate `total_scan'
according to this.  So the next time around this shrinker can cause
really big pressure.  Let's skip such shrinkers instead.

Also make total_scan signed, otherwise the check (total_scan < 0) below
never works.

the confusing and inefficient mending of information in separate NUMA

Implement for_each_free_mem_range_reverse(), use it to reimplement
memblock_find_in_range_node() which in turn is used by all allocators.

The visible allocator interface is inconsistent and can probably use

there's no user of early_node_map[] left.  Kill early_node_map[] and

relocate for_each_mem_pfn_range() and helper from mm.h to memblock.h
as page_alloc.c would no longer host an alternative implementation.

This change is ultimately one to one mapping and shouldn't cause any
observable difference; however, after the recent changes, there are
some functions which now would fit memblock.c better than page_alloc.c
and dependency on HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP instead of HAVE_MEMBLOCK
doesn't make much sense on some of them.  Further cleanups for

Tejun Heo 1aadc0560f memblock: s/memblock_analyze()/memblock_allow_resize()/ and update users
The only function of memblock_analyze() is now allowing resize of
memblock region arrays.  Rename it to memblock_allow_resize() and
update its users.

* The following users remain the same other than renaming.

  arm/mm/init.c::arm_memblock_init()
  microblaze/kernel/prom.c::early_init_devtree()
  powerpc/kernel/prom.c::early_init_devtree()
  openrisc/kernel/prom.c::early_init_devtree()
  sh/mm/init.c::paging_init()
  sparc/mm/init_64.c::paging_init()
  unicore32/mm/init.c::uc32_memblock_init()

* In the following users, analyze was used to update total size which
  is no longer necessary.

  powerpc/kernel/machine_kexec.c::reserve_crashkernel()
  powerpc/kernel/prom.c::early_init_devtree()
  powerpc/mm/init_32.c::MMU_init()
  powerpc/mm/tlb_nohash.c::__early_init_mmu()  
  powerpc/platforms/ps3/mm.c::ps3_mm_add_memory()
  powerpc/platforms/embedded6xx/wii.c::wii_memory_fixups()
  sh/kernel/machine_kexec.c::reserve_crashkernel()

* x86/kernel/e820.c::memblock_x86_fill() was directly setting
  memblock_can_resize before populating memblock and calling analyze
  afterwards.  Call memblock_allow_resize() before start populating.

memblock_can_resize is now static inside memblock.c.

Tejun Heo 1440c4e2c9 memblock: Track total size of regions automatically
Total size of memory regions was calculated by memblock_analyze()
requiring explicitly calling the function between operations which can
change memory regions and possible users of total size, which is
cumbersome and fragile.

This patch makes each memblock_type track total size automatically
with minor modifications to memblock manipulation functions and remove
requirements on calling memblock_analyze().  [__]memblock_dump_all()
now also dumps the total size of reserved regions.
