f6ab1f7f6b mm, swap: use offset of swap entry as key of swap cache
This patch is to improve the performance of swap cache operations when
the type of the swap device is not 0.  Originally, the whole swap entry
value is used as the key of the swap cache, even though there is one
radix tree for each swap device.  If the type of the swap device is not
0, the height of the radix tree of the swap cache will be increased
unnecessary, especially on 64bit architecture.  For example, for a 1GB
swap device on the x86_64 architecture, the height of the radix tree of
the swap cache is 11.  But if the offset of the swap entry is used as
the key of the swap cache, the height of the radix tree of the swap
cache is 4.  The increased height causes unnecessary radix tree
descending and increased cache footprint.

This patch reduces the height of the radix tree of the swap cache via
using the offset of the swap entry instead of the whole swap entry value
as the key of the swap cache.  In 32 processes sequential swap out test
case on a Xeon E5 v3 system with RAM disk as swap, the lock contention
for the spinlock of the swap cache is reduced from 20.15% to 12.19%,
when the type of the swap device is 1.

Use the whole swap entry as key,

09cbfeaf1a mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

b6ec57f4b9 thp: change pmd_trans_huge_lock() interface to return ptl
After THP refcounting rework we have only two possible return values
from pmd_trans_huge_lock(): success and failure.  Return-by-pointer for
ptl doesn't make much sense in this case.

Let's convert pmd_trans_huge_lock() to return ptl on success and NULL on
failure.

c313dc5ded mm: mincore: add hwpoison page handle
When the encountered pte is a swap entry, the current code handles two
cases: migration and normal swapentry, but we have a third case: hwpoison
page.

This patch adds hwpoison page handle, consider hwpoison page incore as
same as migration.

0cd6144aad mm + fs: prepare for non-page entries in page cache radix trees
shmem mappings already contain exceptional entries where swap slot
information is remembered.

To be able to store eviction information for regular page cache, prepare
every site dealing with the radix trees directly to handle entries other
than pages.

The common lookup functions will filter out non-page entries and return
NULL for page cache holes, just as before.  But provide a raw version of
the API which returns non-page entries as well, and switch shmem over to
use it.

33806f06da swap: make each swap partition have one address_space
When I use several fast SSD to do swap, swapper_space.tree_lock is
heavily contended.  This makes each swap partition have one
address_space to reduce the lock contention.  There is an array of
address_space for swap.  The swap entry type is the index to the array.

In my test with 3 SSD, this increases the swapout throughput 20%.

1a5a9906d4 mm: thp: fix pmd_bad() triggering in code paths holding mmap_sem read mode
In some cases it may happen that pmd_none_or_clear_bad() is called with
the mmap_sem hold in read mode.  In those cases the huge page faults can
allocate hugepmds under pmd_none_or_clear_bad() and that can trigger a
false positive from pmd_bad() that will not like to see a pmd
materializing as trans huge.

It's not khugepaged causing the problem, khugepaged holds the mmap_sem
in write mode (and all those sites must hold the mmap_sem in read mode
to prevent pagetables to go away from under them, during code review it
seems vm86 mode on 32bit kernels requires that too unless it's
restricted to 1 thread per process or UP builds).  The race is only with
the huge pagefaults that can convert a pmd_none() into a
pmd_trans_huge().

Effectively all these pmd_none_or_clear_bad() sites running with
mmap_sem in read mode are somewhat speculative with the page faults, and
the result is always undefined when they run simultaneously.  This is
probably why it wasn't common to run into this.  For example if the
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) runs zap_page_range() shortly before the page
fault, the hugepage will not be zapped, if the page fault runs first it
will be zapped.

Altering pmd_bad() not to error out if it finds hugepmds won't be enough
to fix this, because zap_pmd_range would then proceed to call
zap_pte_range (which would be incorrect if the pmd become a
pmd_trans_huge()).

The simplest way to fix this is to read the pmd in the local stack
(regardless of what we read, no need of actual CPU barriers, only
compiler barrier needed), and be sure it is not changing under the code
that computes its value.  Even if the real pmd is changing under the
value we hold on the stack, we don't care.  If we actually end up in
zap_pte_range it means the pmd was not none already and it was not huge,
and it can't become huge from under us (khugepaged locking explained
above).

All we need is to enforce that there is no way anymore that in a code
path like below, pmd_trans_huge can be false, but pmd_none_or_clear_bad
can run into a hugepmd.  The overhead of a barrier() is just a compiler
tweak and should not be measurable (I only added it for THP builds).  I
don't exclude different compiler versions may have prevented the race
too by caching the value of *pmd on the stack (that hasn't been
verified, but it wouldn't be impossible considering
pmd_none_or_clear_bad, pmd_bad, pmd_trans_huge, pmd_none are all inlines
and there's no external function called in between pmd_trans_huge and
pmd_none_or_clear_bad).

		if (pmd_trans_huge(*pmd)) {
			if (next-addr != HPAGE_PMD_SIZE) {
				VM_BUG_ON(!rwsem_is_locked(&tlb->mm->mmap_sem));
				split_huge_page_pmd(vma->vm_mm, pmd);
			} else if (zap_huge_pmd(tlb, vma, pmd, addr))
				continue;
			/* fall through */
		}
		if (pmd_none_or_clear_bad(pmd))

Because this race condition could be exercised without special
privileges this was reported in CVE-2012-1179.

The race was identified and fully explained by Ulrich who debugged it.
I'm quoting his accurate explanation below, for reference.

====== start quote =======
      mapcount 0 page_mapcount 1
      kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1384!

    At some point prior to the panic, a "bad pmd ..." message similar to the
    following is logged on the console:

      mm/memory.c:145: bad pmd ffff8800376e1f98(80000000314000e7).

    The "bad pmd ..." message is logged by pmd_clear_bad() before it clears
    the page's PMD table entry.

        143 void pmd_clear_bad(pmd_t *pmd)
        144 {
    ->  145         pmd_ERROR(*pmd);
        146         pmd_clear(pmd);
        147 }

    After the PMD table entry has been cleared, there is an inconsistency
    between the actual number of PMD table entries that are mapping the page
    and the page's map count (_mapcount field in struct page). When the page
    is subsequently reclaimed, __split_huge_page() detects this inconsistency.

       1381         if (mapcount != page_mapcount(page))
       1382                 printk(KERN_ERR "mapcount %d page_mapcount %d\n",
       1383                        mapcount, page_mapcount(page));
    -> 1384         BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page));

    The root cause of the problem is a race of two threads in a multithreaded
    process. Thread B incurs a page fault on a virtual address that has never
    been accessed (PMD entry is zero) while Thread A is executing an madvise()
    system call on a virtual address within the same 2 MB (huge page) range.

    The mmap_sem does not prevent the race because both threads are acquiring
    it in shared mode (down_read).  Thread B holds the page_table_lock while
    the page's map count and PMD table entry are updated.  However, Thread A
    does not synchronize on that lock.

8079b1c859 mm: clarify the radix_tree exceptional cases
Make the radix_tree exceptional cases, mostly in filemap.c, clearer.

It's hard to devise a suitable snappy name that illuminates the use by
shmem/tmpfs for swap, while keeping filemap/pagecache/radix_tree
generality.  And akpm points out that /* radix_tree_deref_retry(page) */
comments look like calls that have been commented out for unknown
reason.

Skirt the naming difficulty by rearranging these blocks to handle the
transient radix_tree_deref_retry(page) case first; then just explain the
remaining shmem/tmpfs swap case in a comment.

Remove a comment on maximum tmpfs size from fsstack_copy_inode_size(),
and add a comment on swap entries to invalidate_mapping_pages().

And mincore_page() uses find_get_page() on what might be shmem or a
tmpfs file: allow for a radix_tree_exceptional_entry(), and proceed to
find_get_page() on swapper_space if so (oh, swapper_space needs #ifdef).

o simplify range length calculation
o drop superfluous shift in huge tlb calculation, address is page aligned
o drop dead nr_huge calculation
o check pte_none() before pte_present()
o comment and whitespace fixes

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

4f16fc107d mm: hugetlb: fix hugepage memory leak in mincore()
Most callers of pmd_none_or_clear_bad() check whether the target page is
in a hugepage or not, but mincore() and walk_page_range() do not check it.
 So if we use mincore() on a hugepage on x86 machine, the hugepage memory
is leaked as shown below.  This patch fixes it by extending mincore()
system call to support hugepages.

Details
=======
My test program (leak_mincore) works as follows:
 - creat() and mmap() a file on hugetlbfs (file size is 200MB == 100 hugepages,)
 - read()/write() something on it,
 - call mincore() for first ten pages and printf() the values of *vec
 - munmap() and unlink() the file on hugetlbfs

Without my patch
----------------
$ cat /proc/meminfo| grep "HugePage"
HugePages_Total:    1000
HugePages_Free:     1000
HugePages_Rsvd:        0
HugePages_Surp:        0
$ ./leak_mincore
vec[0] 0
vec[1] 0
vec[2] 0
vec[3] 0
vec[4] 0
vec[5] 0
vec[6] 0
vec[7] 0
vec[8] 0
vec[9] 0
$ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage"
HugePages_Total:    1000
HugePages_Free:      999
HugePages_Rsvd:        0
HugePages_Surp:        0
$ ls /hugetlbfs/
$

Return values in *vec from mincore() are set to 0, while the hugepage
should be in memory, and 1 hugepage is still accounted as used while
there is no file on hugetlbfs.

With my patch
-------------
$ cat /proc/meminfo| grep "HugePage"
HugePages_Total:    1000
HugePages_Free:     1000
HugePages_Rsvd:        0
HugePages_Surp:        0
$ ./leak_mincore
vec[0] 1
vec[1] 1
vec[2] 1
vec[3] 1
vec[4] 1
vec[5] 1
vec[6] 1
vec[7] 1
vec[8] 1
vec[9] 1
$ cat /proc/meminfo |grep "HugePage"
HugePages_Total:    1000
HugePages_Free:     1000
HugePages_Rsvd:        0
HugePages_Surp:        0
$ ls /hugetlbfs/
$

Return value in *vec set to 1 and no memory leaks.

4fb23e439c Fix up mm/mincore.c error value cases
Hugh Dickins correctly points out that mincore() is actually _supposed_
to fail on an unmapped hole in the user address space, rather than
return valid ("empty") information about the hole.  This just simplifies
the problem further (I had been misled by our previous confusing and
complicated way of doing mincore()).

Also, in the unlikely situation that we can't allocate a temporary
kernel buffer, we should actually return EAGAIN, not ENOMEM, to keep the
"unmapped hole" and "allocation failure" error cases separate.

Finally, add a comment about our stupid historical lack of support for
anonymous mappings.  I'll fix that if somebody reminds me after 2.6.20
is out.

2f77d10705 Fix incorrect user space access locking in mincore()
Doug Chapman noticed that mincore() will doa "copy_to_user()" of the
result while holding the mmap semaphore for reading, which is a big
no-no.  While a recursive read-lock on a semaphore in the case of a page
fault happens to work, we don't actually allow them due to deadlock
schenarios with writers due to fairness issues.

Doug and Marcel sent in a patch to fix it, but I decided to just rewrite
the mess instead - not just fixing the locking problem, but making the
code smaller and (imho) much easier to understand.
