7e027b14d5 vm: simplify unmap_vmas() calling convention
None of the callers want to pass in 'zap_details', and it doesn't even
make sense for the case of actually unmapping vma's.  So remove the
argument, and clean up the interface.

dbd5768f87 vfs: Rename end_writeback() to clear_inode()
After we moved inode_sync_wait() from end_writeback() it doesn't make sense
to call the function end_writeback() anymore. Rename it to clear_inode()
which well says what the function really does - set I_CLEAR flag.

68809c7108 writeback: initialize global_dirty_limit
This prevents global_dirty_limit from remaining 0 (the initial value)
for long time, since it's only updated in update_dirty_limit() when
above the dirty freerun area.

It will avoid unexpected consequences when some random code use it as a
convenient approximation of the global dirty threshold.

904249aa68 mm: fix up the vmscan stat in vmstat
The "pgsteal" stat is confusing because it counts both direct reclaim as
well as background reclaim.  However, we have "kswapd_steal" which also
counts background reclaim value.

This patch fixes it and also makes it match the existng "pgscan_" stats.

Test:
pgsteal_kswapd_dma32 447623
pgsteal_kswapd_normal 42272677
pgsteal_kswapd_movable 0
pgsteal_direct_dma32 2801

Local variable "page" can be uninitialized if the nodemask from vma policy
does not intersects with nodemask from cpuset.  Even if it doesn't happens
it is better to initialize this variable explicitly than to introduce
a kernel oops in a weird corner case.

4e1c2b2844 mm: nobootmem: Correct alloc_bootmem semantics.
The comments above __alloc_bootmem_node() claim that the code will
first try the allocation using 'goal' and if that fails it will
try again but with the 'goal' requirement dropped.

Unfortunately, this is not what the code does, so fix it to do so.

This is important for nobootmem conversions to architectures such
as sparc where MAX_DMA_ADDRESS is infinity.

On such architectures all of the allocations done by generic spots,
such as the sparse-vmemmap implementation, will pass in:

	__pa(MAX_DMA_ADDRESS)

as the goal, and with the limit given as "-1" this will always fail
unless we add the appropriate fallback logic here.

aca50bd3b4 mm: fix s390 BUG by __set_page_dirty_no_writeback on swap
Mel reports a BUG_ON(slot == NULL) in radix_tree_tag_set() on s390
3.0.13: called from __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() when page_remove_rmap()
tries to transfer dirty flag from s390 storage key to struct page and
radix_tree.

That would be because of reclaim's shrink_page_list() calling
add_to_swap() on this page at the same time: first PageSwapCache is set
(causing page_mapping(page) to appear as &swapper_space), then
page->private set, then tree_lock taken, then page inserted into
radix_tree - so there's an interval before taking the lock when the
radix_tree slot is empty.

We could fix this by moving __add_to_swap_cache()'s spin_lock_irq up
before the SetPageSwapCache.  But a better fix is simply to do what's
five years overdue: Ken Chen introduced __set_page_dirty_no_writeback()
(if !PageDirty TestSetPageDirty) for tmpfs to skip all the radix_tree
overhead, and swap is just the same - it ignores the radix_tree tag, and
does not participate in dirty page accounting, so should be using
__set_page_dirty_no_writeback() too.

s390 testing now confirms that this does indeed fix the problem.

6be5ceb02e VM: add "vm_mmap()" helper function
This continues the theme started with vm_brk() and vm_munmap():
vm_mmap() does the same thing as do_mmap(), but additionally does the
required VM locking.

This uninlines (and rewrites it to be clearer) do_mmap(), which sadly
duplicates it in mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c.  But that way we don't have
to export our internal do_mmap_pgoff() function.

Some day we hopefully don't have to export do_mmap() either, if all
modular users can become the simpler vm_mmap() instead.  We're actually
very close to that already, with the notable exception of the (broken)
use in i810, and a couple of stragglers in binfmt_elf.

b3dc627cab memblock: memblock should be able to handle zero length operations
Commit 24aa07882b ("memblock, x86: Replace memblock_x86_reserve/
free_range() with generic ones") replaced x86 specific memblock
operations with the generic ones; unfortunately, it lost zero length
operation handling in the process making the kernel panic if somebody
tries to reserve zero length area.

There isn't much to be gained by being cranky to zero length operations
and panicking is almost the worst response.  Drop the BUG_ON() in
memblock_reserve() and update memblock_add_region/isolate_range() so
that all zero length operations are handled as noops.

9b7f43afd4 memcg: fix Bad page state after replace_page_cache
My 9ce70c0240 "memcg: fix deadlock by inverting lrucare nesting" put a
nasty little bug into v3.3's version of mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache(),
sometimes used for FUSE.  Replacing __mem_cgroup_commit_charge_lrucare()
by __mem_cgroup_commit_charge(), I used the "pc" pointer set up earlier:
but it's for oldpage, and needs now to be for newpage.  Once oldpage was
freed, its PageCgroupUsed bit (cleared above but set again here) caused
"Bad page state" messages - and perhaps worse, being missed from newpage.
(I didn't find this by using FUSE, but in reusing the function for tmpfs.)

cbc91f71b5 uprobes/core: Decrement uprobe count before the pages are unmapped
Uprobes has a callback (uprobe_munmap()) in the unmap path to
maintain the uprobes count.

In the exit path this callback gets called in unlink_file_vma().
However by the time unlink_file_vma() is called, the pages would
have been unmapped (in unmap_vmas()) and the task->rss_stat counts
accounted (in zap_pte_range()).

If the exiting process has probepoints, uprobe_munmap() checks if
the breakpoint instruction was around before decrementing the probe
count.

This results in a file backed page being reread by uprobe_munmap()
and hence it does not find the breakpoint.

This patch fixes this problem by moving the callback to
unmap_single_vma(). Since unmap_single_vma() may not unmap the
complete vma, add start and end parameters to uprobe_munmap().

This bug became apparent courtesy of commit c3f0327f8e
("mm: add rss counters consistency check").

41c9308812 Revert "mm: vmscan: fix misused nr_reclaimed in shrink_mem_cgroup_zone()"
This reverts commit c38446cc65.

Before the commit, the code makes senses to me but not after the commit.
The "nr_reclaimed" is the number of pages reclaimed by scanning through
the memcg's lru lists.  The "nr_to_reclaim" is the target value for the
whole function.  For example, we like to early break the reclaim if
reclaimed 32 pages under direct reclaim (not DEF_PRIORITY).

After the reverted commit, the target "nr_to_reclaim" is decremented each
time by "nr_reclaimed" but we still use it to compare the "nr_reclaimed".
It just doesn't make sense to me...

66aebce747 hugetlb: fix race condition in hugetlb_fault()
The race is as follows:

Suppose a multi-threaded task forks a new process (on cpu A), thus
bumping up the ref count on all the pages.  While the fork is occurring
(and thus we have marked all the PTEs as read-only), another thread in
the original process (on cpu B) tries to write to a huge page, taking an
access violation from the write-protect and calling hugetlb_cow().  Now,
suppose the fork() fails.  It will undo the COW and decrement the ref
count on the pages, so the ref count on the huge page drops back to 1.
Meanwhile hugetlb_cow() also decrements the ref count by one on the

569530fb1b memcg: do not open code accesses to res_counter members
We should use the accessor res_counter_read_u64 for that.

Although a purely cosmetic change is sometimes better delayed, to avoid
conflicting with other people's work, we are starting to have people
touching this code as well, and reproducing the open code behavior
because that's the standard =)

Time to fix it, then.

cbe128e348 cgroup: get rid of populate for memcg
The last man standing justifying the need for populate() is the
sock memcg initialization functions. Now that we are able to pass
a struct mem_cgroup instead of a struct cgroup to the socket
initialization, there is nothing that stops us from initializing

1d62e43657 cgroup: pass struct mem_cgroup instead of struct cgroup to socket memcg
The only reason cgroup was used, was to be consistent with the populate()
interface. Now that we're getting rid of it, not only we no longer need
it, but we also *can't* call it this way.

Since we will no longer rely on populate(), this will be called from
create(). During create, the association between struct mem_cgroup
and struct cgroup does not yet exist, since cgroup internals hasn't
yet initialized its bookkeeping. This means we would not be able
to draw the memcg pointer from the cgroup pointer in these
functions, which is highly undesirable.

48ddbe1946 cgroup: make css->refcnt clearing on cgroup removal optional
Currently, cgroup removal tries to drain all css references.  If there
are active css references, the removal logic waits and retries
->pre_detroy() until either all refs drop to zero or removal is
cancelled.

This semantics is unusual and adds non-trivial complexity to cgroup
core and IMHO is fundamentally misguided in that it couples internal
implementation details (references to internal data structure) with
externally visible operation (rmdir).  To userland, this is a behavior
peculiarity which is unnecessary and difficult to expect (css refs is
otherwise invisible from userland), and, to policy implementations,
this is an unnecessary restriction (e.g. blkcg wants to hold css refs
for caching purposes but can't as that becomes visible as rmdir hang).

Unfortunately, memcg currently depends on ->pre_destroy() retrials and
cgroup removal vetoing and can't be immmediately switched to the new
behavior.  This patch introduces the new behavior of not waiting for
css refs to drain and maintains the old behavior for subsystems which
have __DEPRECATED_clear_css_refs set.

Once, memcg is updated, we can drop the code paths for the old
behavior as proposed in the following patch.  Note that the following
patch is incorrect in that dput work item is in cgroup and may lose
some of dputs when multiples css's are released back-to-back, and
__css_put() triggers check_for_release() when refcnt reaches 0 instead
of 1; however, it shows what part can be removed.

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.containers/22559/focus=75251

Note that, in not-too-distant future, cgroup core will start emitting
warning messages for subsys which require the old behavior, so please
get moving.

682968e0c4 uprobes/core: Optimize probe hits with the help of a counter
Maintain a per-mm counter: number of uprobes that are inserted
on this process address space.

This counter can be used at probe hit time to determine if we
need a lookup in the uprobes rbtree. Everytime a probe gets
inserted successfully, the probe count is incremented and
everytime a probe gets removed, the probe count is decremented.

The new uprobe_munmap hook ensures the count is correct on a
unmap or remap of a region. We expect that once a
uprobe_munmap() is called, the vma goes away.  So
uprobe_unregister() finding a probe to unregister would either
mean unmap event hasnt occurred yet or a mmap event on the same
executable file occured after a unmap event.

Additionally, uprobe_mmap hook now also gets called:

 a. on every executable vma that is COWed at fork.
 b. a vma of interest is newly mapped; breakpoint insertion also
    happens at the required address.

On process creation, make sure the probes count in the child is
set correctly.

Special cases that are taken care include:

 a. mremap
 b. VM_DONTCOPY vmas on fork()
 c. insertion/removal races in the parent during fork().

0fc9d10403 radix-tree: use iterators in find_get_pages* functions
Replace radix_tree_gang_lookup_slot() and
radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot() in page-cache lookup functions with
brand-new radix-tree direct iterating.  This avoids the double-scanning
and pointer copying.

Iterator don't stop after nr_pages page-get fails in a row, it continue
lookup till the radix-tree end.  Thus we can safely remove these restart
conditions.

Unfortunately, old implementation didn't forbid nr_pages == 0, this corner
case does not fit into new code, so the patch adds an extra check at the
beginning.

74046494ea mm: only IPI CPUs to drain local pages if they exist
Calculate a cpumask of CPUs with per-cpu pages in any zone and only send
an IPI requesting CPUs to drain these pages to the buddy allocator if they
actually have pages when asked to flush.

This patch saves 85%+ of IPIs asking to drain per-cpu pages in case of
severe memory pressure that leads to OOM since in these cases multiple,
possibly concurrent, allocation requests end up in the direct reclaim code
path so when the per-cpu pages end up reclaimed on first allocation
failure for most of the proceeding allocation attempts until the memory
pressure is off (possibly via the OOM killer) there are no per-cpu pages
on most CPUs (and there can easily be hundreds of them).

This also has the side effect of shortening the average latency of direct
reclaim by 1 or more order of magnitude since waiting for all the CPUs to
ACK the IPI takes a long time.

Tested by running "hackbench 400" on a 8 CPU x86 VM and observing the
difference between the number of direct reclaim attempts that end up in
drain_all_pages() and those were more then 1/2 of the online CPU had any
per-cpu page in them, using the vmstat counters introduced in the next
patch in the series and using proc/interrupts.

In the test sceanrio, this was seen to save around 3600 global
IPIs after trigerring an OOM on a concurrent workload:

$ cat /proc/vmstat | tail -n 2
pcp_global_drain 0
pcp_global_ipi_saved 0

$ cat /proc/interrupts | grep CAL
CAL:          1          2          1          2
          2          2          2          2   Function call interrupts

$ hackbench 400
[OOM messages snipped]

$ cat /proc/vmstat | tail -n 2
pcp_global_drain 3647
pcp_global_ipi_saved 3642

$ cat /proc/interrupts | grep CAL
CAL:          6         13          6          3
          3          3         1 2          7   Function call interrupts

Please note that if the global drain is removed from the direct reclaim
path as a patch from Mel Gorman currently suggests this should be replaced
with an on_each_cpu_cond invocation.

a8364d5555 slub: only IPI CPUs that have per cpu obj to flush
flush_all() is called for each kmem_cache_destroy().  So every cache being
destroyed dynamically ends up sending an IPI to each CPU in the system,
regardless if the cache has ever been used there.

For example, if you close the Infinband ipath driver char device file, the
close file ops calls kmem_cache_destroy().  So running some infiniband
config tool on one a single CPU dedicated to system tasks might interrupt
the rest of the 127 CPUs dedicated to some CPU intensive or latency
sensitive task.

I suspect there is a good chance that every line in the output of "git
grep kmem_cache_destroy linux/ | grep '\->'" has a similar scenario.

This patch attempts to rectify this issue by sending an IPI to flush the
per cpu objects back to the free lists only to CPUs that seem to have such
objects.

The check which CPU to IPI is racy but we don't care since asking a CPU
without per cpu objects to flush does no damage and as far as I can tell
the flush_all by itself is racy against allocs on remote CPUs anyway, so
if you required the flush_all to be determinstic, you had to arrange for
locking regardless.

Without this patch the following artificial test case:

$ cd /sys/kernel/slab
$ for DIR in *; do cat $DIR/alloc_calls > /dev/null; done

produces 166 IPIs on an cpuset isolated CPU. With it it produces none.

The code path of memory allocation failure for CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y
config was tested using fault injection framework.

d15cab9754 swapon: check validity of swap_flags
Most system calls taking flags first check that the flags passed in are
valid, and that helps userspace to detect when new flags are supported.

But swapon never did so: start checking now, to help if we ever want to
support more swap_flags in future.

It's difficult to get stray bits set in an int, and swapon is not widely
used, so this is most unlikely to break any userspace; but we can just
revert if it turns out to do so.

29fd66d289 mm, coredump: fail allocations when coredumping instead of oom killing
The size of coredump files is limited by RLIMIT_CORE, however, allocating
large amounts of memory results in three negative consequences:

 - the coredumping process may be chosen for oom kill and quickly deplete
   all memory reserves in oom conditions preventing further progress from
   being made or tasks from exiting,

 - the coredumping process may cause other processes to be oom killed
   without fault of their own as the result of a SIGSEGV, for example, in
   the coredumping process, or

 - the coredumping process may result in a livelock while writing to the
   dump file if it needs memory to allocate while other threads are in
   the exit path waiting on the coredumper to complete.

This is fixed by implying __GFP_NORETRY in the page allocator for
coredumping processes when reclaim has failed so the allocations fail and
the process continues to exit.

623e3db9f9 mm for fs: add truncate_pagecache_range()
Holepunching filesystems ext4 and xfs are using truncate_inode_pages_range
but forgetting to unmap pages first (ocfs2 remembers).  This is not really
a bug, since races already require truncate_inode_page() to handle that
case once the page is locked; but it can be very inefficient if the file
being punched happens to be mapped into many vmas.

Provide a drop-in replacement truncate_pagecache_range() which does the
unmapping pass first, handling the awkward mismatch between arguments to
truncate_inode_pages_range() and arguments to unmap_mapping_range().

Note that holepunching does not unmap privately COWed pages in the range:
POSIX requires that we do so when truncating, but it's hard to justify,
difficult to implement without an i_size cutoff, and no filesystem is
attempting to implement it.

 "Ext4 commits for 3.3 merge window; mostly cleanups and bug fixes

  The changes to export dirty_writeback_interval are from Artem's s_dirt
  cleanup patch series.  The same is true of the change to remove the
  s_dirt helper functions which never got used by anyone in-tree.  I've
  run these changes by Al Viro, and am carrying them so that Artem can
  more easily fix up the rest of the file systems during the next merge
  window.  (Originally we had hopped to remove the use of s_dirt from
  ext4 during this merge window, but his patches had some bugs, so I
  ultimately ended dropping them from the ext4 tree.)"

We should only test compaction_suitable if the kernel is built with
CONFIG_COMPACTION, otherwise the stub compaction_suitable function will

accb61fe7b coredump: add VM_NODUMP, MADV_NODUMP, MADV_CLEAR_NODUMP
Since we no longer need the VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag, let's use the freed bit
for 'VM_NODUMP' flag.  The idea is is to add a new madvise() flag:
MADV_DONTDUMP, which can be set by applications to specifically request
memory regions which should not dump core.

The specific application I have in mind is qemu: we can add a flag there
that wouldn't dump all of guest memory when qemu dumps core.  This flag
might also be useful for security sensitive apps that want to absolutely
make sure that parts of memory are not dumped.  To clear the flag use:
MADV_DODUMP.

909af768e8 coredump: remove VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag
The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a
qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which
can be quite large.  There are already a number of filter flags in
/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types'
of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this
case).

Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates
the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag.  The flag is used internally by
the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages.  However, it is simple
enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need
for this flag.

The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new
'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags:
'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'.  The core dump filters
continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the
region.

The qemu code which implements this features is at:

  http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch

In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this
patch.

I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for
security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are
dumped.

This patch:

The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to
indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section.  However, we
can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against
the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from
arch_vma_name().  Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

Change oom_kill_task() to use do_send_sig_info(SEND_SIG_FORCED) instead
of force_sig(SIGKILL).  With the recent changes we do not need force_ to
kill the CLONE_NEWPID tasks.

And this is more correct.  force_sig() can race with the exiting thread

do_send_sig_info(group => true) kille the whole process.

4331f7d339 memcg: fix performance of mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()
mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() should be very fast because it's
called very frequently.  Now, it needs to look up page_cgroup and its
memcg....this is slow.

This patch adds a global variable to check "any memcg is moving or not".
With this, the caller doesn't need to visit page_cgroup and memcg.

Here is a test result.  A test program makes page faults onto a file,
MAP_SHARED and makes each page's page_mapcount(page) > 1, and free the
range by madvise() and page fault again.  This program causes 26214400
times of page fault onto a file(size was 1G.) and shows shows the cost of
mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat().

Before this patch for mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()

    [kamezawa@bluextal test]$ time ./mmap 1G

    real    0m21.765s
    user    0m5.999s
    sys     0m15.434s

    27.46%     mmap  mmap               [.] reader
    21.15%     mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] page_fault
     9.17%     mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] filemap_fault
     2.96%     mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __do_fault
     2.83%     mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat

After this patch

    [root@bluextal test]# time ./mmap 1G

    real    0m21.373s
    user    0m6.113s
    sys     0m15.016s

In usual path, calls to __mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() goes away.

Note: we may be able to remove this optimization in future if
      we can get pointer to memcg directly from struct page.

89c06bd52f memcg: use new logic for page stat accounting
Now, page-stat-per-memcg is recorded into per page_cgroup flag by
duplicating page's status into the flag.  The reason is that memcg has a
feature to move a page from a group to another group and we have race
between "move" and "page stat accounting",

Under current logic, assume CPU-A and CPU-B.  CPU-A does "move" and CPU-B
does "page stat accounting".

When CPU-A goes 1st,

            CPU-A                           CPU-B
                                    update "struct page" info.
    move_lock_mem_cgroup(memcg)
    see pc->flags
    copy page stat to new group
    overwrite pc->mem_cgroup.
    move_unlock_mem_cgroup(memcg)
                                    move_lock_mem_cgroup(mem)
                                    set pc->flags
                                    update page stat accounting
                                    move_unlock_mem_cgroup(mem)

stat accounting is guarded by move_lock_mem_cgroup() and "move" logic
(CPU-A) doesn't see changes in "struct page" information.

But it's costly to have the same information both in 'struct page' and
'struct page_cgroup'.  And, there is a potential problem.

For example, assume we have PG_dirty accounting in memcg.
PG_..is a flag for struct page.
PCG_ is a flag for struct page_cgroup.
(This is just an example. The same problem can be found in any
 kind of page stat accounting.)

	  CPU-A                               CPU-B
      TestSet PG_dirty
      (delay)                        TestClear PG_dirty
                                     if (TestClear(PCG_dirty))
                                          memcg->nr_dirty--
      if (TestSet(PCG_dirty))
          memcg->nr_dirty++

Here, memcg->nr_dirty = +1, this is wrong.  This race was reported by Greg
Thelen <gthelen@google.com>.  Now, only FILE_MAPPED is supported but
fortunately, it's serialized by page table lock and this is not real bug,
_now_,

If this potential problem is caused by having duplicated information in
struct page and struct page_cgroup, we may be able to fix this by using
original 'struct page' information.  But we'll have a problem in "move
account"

Assume we use only PG_dirty.

         CPU-A                   CPU-B
    TestSet PG_dirty
    (delay)                    move_lock_mem_cgroup()
                               if (PageDirty(page))
                                      new_memcg->nr_dirty++
                               pc->mem_cgroup = new_memcg;
                               move_unlock_mem_cgroup()
    move_lock_mem_cgroup()
    memcg = pc->mem_cgroup
    new_memcg->nr_dirty++

accounting information may be double-counted.  This was original reason to
have PCG_xxx flags but it seems PCG_xxx has another problem.

I think we need a bigger lock as

     move_lock_mem_cgroup(page)
     TestSetPageDirty(page)
     update page stats (without any checks)
     move_unlock_mem_cgroup(page)

This fixes both of problems and we don't have to duplicate page flag into
page_cgroup.  Please note: move_lock_mem_cgroup() is held only when there
are possibility of "account move" under the system.  So, in most path,
status update will go without atomic locks.

This patch introduces mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() and
mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat() both should be called at modifying
'struct page' information if memcg takes care of it.  as

     mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()
     modify page information
     mem_cgroup_update_page_stat()
     => never check any 'struct page' info, just update counters.
     mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat().

This patch is slow because we need to call begin_update_page_stat()/
end_update_page_stat() regardless of accounted will be changed or not.  A
following patch adds an easy optimization and reduces the cost.

312734c04e memcg: remove PCG_MOVE_LOCK flag from page_cgroup
PCG_MOVE_LOCK is used for bit spinlock to avoid race between overwriting
pc->mem_cgroup and page statistics accounting per memcg.  This lock helps
to avoid the race but the race is very rare because moving tasks between
cgroup is not a usual job.  So, it seems using 1bit per page is too
costly.

This patch changes this lock as per-memcg spinlock and removes
PCG_MOVE_LOCK.

If smaller lock is required, we'll be able to add some hashes but I'd like
to start from this.

619d094b58 memcg: simplify move_account() check
In memcg, for avoiding take-lock-irq-off at accessing page_cgroup, a
logic, flag + rcu_read_lock(), is used.  This works as following

     CPU-A                     CPU-B
                             rcu_read_lock()
    set flag
                             if(flag is set)
                                   take heavy lock
                             do job.
    synchronize_rcu()        rcu_read_unlock()
    take heavy lock.

In recent discussion, it's argued that using per-cpu value for this flag
just complicates the code because 'set flag' is very rare.

This patch changes 'flag' implementation from percpu to atomic_t.  This
will be much simpler.

b24028572f memcg: remove PCG_CACHE page_cgroup flag
We record 'the page is cache' with the PCG_CACHE bit in page_cgroup.
Here, "CACHE" means anonymous user pages (and SwapCache).  This doesn't
include shmem.

Considering callers, at charge/uncharge, the caller should know what the
page is and we don't need to record it by using one bit per page.

This patch removes PCG_CACHE bit and make callers of
mem_cgroup_charge_statistics() to specify what the page is.

About page migration: Mapping of the used page is not touched during migra
tion (see page_remove_rmap) so we can rely on it and push the correct
charge type down to __mem_cgroup_uncharge_common from end_migration for
unused page.  The force flag was misleading was abused for skipping the
needless page_mapped() / PageCgroupMigration() check, as we know the
unused page is no longer mapped and cleared the migration flag just a few
lines up.  But doing the checks is no biggie and it's not worth adding
another flag just to skip them.

0e79dedde9 memcg: remove unnecessary thp check in page stat accounting
Commit e94c8a9cbc ("memcg: make mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup() more
efficient") removed move_lock_page_cgroup().  So we do not have to check
PageTransHuge in mem_cgroup_update_page_stat() and fallback into the
locked accounting because both move_account() and thp split are done
with compound_lock so they cannot race.

The race between update vs.  move is protected by mem_cgroup_stealed.

PageTransHuge pages shouldn't appear in this code path currently because
we are tracking only file pages at the moment but later we are planning
to track also other pages (e.g.  mlocked ones).

1480de0340 mm: forbid lumpy-reclaim in shrink_active_list()
Reset the reclaim mode in shrink_active_list() to RECLAIM_MODE_SINGLE |
RECLAIM_MODE_ASYNC.  (sync/async sign is used only in shrink_page_list
and does not affect shrink_active_list)

Currenly shrink_active_list() sometimes works in lumpy-reclaim mode, if
RECLAIM_MODE_LUMPYRECLAIM is left over from an earlier
shrink_inactive_list().  Meanwhile, in age_active_anon()
sc->reclaim_mode is totally zero.  So the current behavior is too
complex and confusing, and this looks like bug.

In general, shrink_active_list() populates the inactive list for the
next shrink_inactive_list().  Lumpy shring_inactive_list() isolates
pages around the chosen one from both the active and inactive lists.
So, there is no reason for lumpy isolation in shrink_active_list().

90481622d7 hugepages: fix use after free bug in "quota" handling
hugetlbfs_{get,put}_quota() are badly named.  They don't interact with the
general quota handling code, and they don't much resemble its behaviour.
Rather than being about maintaining limits on on-disk block usage by
particular users, they are instead about maintaining limits on in-memory
page usage (including anonymous MAP_PRIVATE copied-on-write pages)
associated with a particular hugetlbfs filesystem instance.

Worse, they work by having callbacks to the hugetlbfs filesystem code from
the low-level page handling code, in particular from free_huge_page().
This is a layering violation of itself, but more importantly, if the
kernel does a get_user_pages() on hugepages (which can happen from KVM
amongst others), then the free_huge_page() can be delayed until after the
associated inode has already been freed.  If an unmount occurs at the
wrong time, even the hugetlbfs superblock where the "quota" limits are
stored may have been freed.

Andrew Barry proposed a patch to fix this by having hugepages, instead of
storing a pointer to their address_space and reaching the superblock from
there, had the hugepages store pointers directly to the superblock,
bumping the reference count as appropriate to avoid it being freed.
Andrew Morton rejected that version, however, on the grounds that it made
the existing layering violation worse.

This is a reworked version of Andrew's patch, which removes the extra, and
some of the existing, layering violation.  It works by introducing the
concept of a hugepage "subpool" at the lower hugepage mm layer - that is a
finite logical pool of hugepages to allocate from.  hugetlbfs now creates
a subpool for each filesystem instance with a page limit set, and a
pointer to the subpool gets added to each allocated hugepage, instead of
the address_space pointer used now.  The subpool has its own lifetime and
is only freed once all pages in it _and_ all other references to it (i.e.
superblocks) are gone.

subpools are optional - a NULL subpool pointer is taken by the code to
mean that no subpool limits are in effect.

Previous discussion of this bug found in:  "Fix refcounting in hugetlbfs
quota handling.". See:  https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/11/28 or
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=126928970510627&w=1

v2: Fixed a bug spotted by Hillf Danton, and removed the extra parameter to
alloc_huge_page() - since it already takes the vma, it is not necessary.

cc9a6c8776 cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3
Commit c0ff7453bb ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when
changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of
memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit.

[get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory
barriers inserted into a number of hot paths.  This was detected while
investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time
after 2.6.32.  The largest portion of this overhead was shown by
oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page
allocator hot path.

For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an
implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex.

This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write
sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path
side.  This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86.  The
main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a
manner that can cause a false failure.

While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure
is a risk.  If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel
allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place.

In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from
__alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%.  The
actual results were

The overall improvement is small but the System CPU time is much
improved and roughly in correlation to what oprofile reported (these
performance figures are without profiling so skew is expected).  The
actual number of page faults is noticeably improved.

For benchmarks like kernel builds, the overall benefit is marginal but
the system CPU time is slightly reduced.

To test the actual bug the commit fixed I opened two terminals.  The
first ran within a cpuset and continually ran a small program that
faulted 100M of anonymous data.  In a second window, the nodemask of the
cpuset was continually randomised in a loop.

Without the commit, the program would fail every so often (usually
within 10 seconds) and obviously with the commit everything worked fine.
With this patch applied, it also worked fine so the fix should be
functionally equivalent.

e845e19936 mm, memcg: pass charge order to oom killer
The oom killer typically displays the allocation order at the time of oom
as a part of its diangostic messages (for global, cpuset, and mempolicy
ooms).

The memory controller may also pass the charge order to the oom killer so
it can emit the same information.  This is useful in determining how large
the memory allocation is that triggered the oom killer.

47a133339c mm: use global_dirty_limit in throttle_vm_writeout()
When starting a memory hog task, a desktop box w/o swap is found to go
unresponsive for a long time.  It's solely caused by lots of congestion
waits in throttle_vm_writeout():

 gnome-system-mo-4201 553.073384: congestion_wait: throttle_vm_writeout+0x70/0x7f shrink_mem_cgroup_zone+0x48f/0x4a1
 gnome-system-mo-4201 553.073386: writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=100000
           gtali-4237 553.080377: congestion_wait: throttle_vm_writeout+0x70/0x7f shrink_mem_cgroup_zone+0x48f/0x4a1
           gtali-4237 553.080378: writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=100000
            Xorg-3483 553.103375: congestion_wait: throttle_vm_writeout+0x70/0x7f shrink_mem_cgroup_zone+0x48f/0x4a1
            Xorg-3483 553.103377: writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=100000

The root cause is, the dirty threshold is knocked down a lot by the memory
hog task.  Fixed by using global_dirty_limit which decreases gradually on
such events and can guarantee we stay above (the also decreasing) nr_dirty
in the progress of following down to the new dirty threshold.

f5bf18fa22 bootmem/sparsemem: remove limit constraint in alloc_bootmem_section
While testing AMS (Active Memory Sharing) / CMO (Cooperative Memory

  [c000000000c03f90] c000000000009670 .start_here_common+0x1c/0x2c

This is

        BUG_ON(limit && goal + size > limit);

and after some debugging, it seems that

	goal = 0x7ffff000000
	limit = 0x80000000000

and sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_node ->
sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_pgdat_section calls

	return alloc_bootmem_section(usemap_size() * count, section_nr);

This is on a system with 8TB available via the AMS pool, and as a quirk
of AMS in firmware, all of that memory shows up in node 0.  So, we end
up with an allocation that will fail the goal/limit constraints.

In theory, we could "fall-back" to alloc_bootmem_node() in
sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_node(), but since we actually have HOTREMOVE
defined, we'll BUG_ON() instead.  A simple solution appears to be to
unconditionally remove the limit condition in alloc_bootmem_section,
meaning allocations are allowed to cross section boundaries (necessary
for systems of this size).

Johannes Weiner pointed out that if alloc_bootmem_section() no longer
guarantees section-locality, we need check_usemap_section_nr() to print
possible cross-dependencies between node descriptors and the usemaps
allocated through it.  That makes the two loops in
sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_node() identical, so re-factor the code a
bit.

This cpu hotplug hook was accidentally removed in commit 00a62ce91e
("mm: fix Committed_AS underflow on large NR_CPUS environment")

The visible effect of this accident: some pages are borrowed in per-cpu
page-vectors.  Truncate can deal with it, but these pages cannot be
reused while this cpu is offline.  So this is like a temporary memory
leak.

3268c63ede mm: fix move/migrate_pages() race on task struct
Migration functions perform the rcu_read_unlock too early.  As a result
the task pointed to may change from under us.  This can result in an oops,
as reported by Dave Hansen in https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/23/302.

The following patch extend the period of the rcu_read_lock until after the
permissions checks are done.  We also take a refcount so that the task
reference is stable when calling security check functions and performing
cpuset node validation (which takes a mutex).

The refcount is dropped before actual page migration occurs so there is no
change to the refcounts held during page migration.

Also move the determination of the mm of the task struct to immediately
before the do_migrate*() calls so that it is clear that we switch from
handling the task during permission checks to the mm for the actual
migration.  Since the determination is only done once and we then no
longer use the task_struct we can be sure that we operate on a specific
address space that will not change from under us.

385de35722 thp: allow a hwpoisoned head page to be put back to LRU
Andrea Arcangeli pointed out to me that a check in __memory_failure()
which was intended to prevent THP tail pages from being checked for the
absence of the PG_lru flag (something that is always the case), was also
preventing THP head pages from being checked.

A THP head page could actually benefit from the call to shake_page() by
ending up being put back to a LRU, provided it had been waiting in a
pagevec array.

Andrea suggested that the "!PageTransCompound(p)" in the if-statement
should be replaced by a "!PageTransTail(p)", thus allowing THP head pages
to be checked and possibly shaken.

08ab9b10d4 mm, oom: force oom kill on sysrq+f
The oom killer chooses not to kill a thread if:

 - an eligible thread has already been oom killed and has yet to exit,
   and

 - an eligible thread is exiting but has yet to free all its memory and
   is not the thread attempting to currently allocate memory.

SysRq+F manually invokes the global oom killer to kill a memory-hogging
task.  This is normally done as a last resort to free memory when no
progress is being made or to test the oom killer itself.

For both uses, we always want to kill a thread and never defer.  This
patch causes SysRq+F to always kill an eligible thread and can be used to
force a kill even if another oom killed thread has failed to exit.

b76437579d procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc/<pid>/maps
Stack for a new thread is mapped by userspace code and passed via
sys_clone.  This memory is currently seen as anonymous in
/proc/<pid>/maps, which makes it difficult to ascertain which mappings
are being used for thread stacks.  This patch uses the individual task
stack pointers to determine which vmas are actually thread stacks.

For a multithreaded program like the following:

	#include <pthread.h>

	void *thread_main(void *foo)
	{
		while(1);
	}

	int main()
	{
		pthread_t t;
		pthread_create(&t, NULL, thread_main, NULL);
		pthread_join(t, NULL);
	}

Here, one could guess that 7f8a44492000-7f8a44c92000 is a stack since
the earlier vma that has no permissions (7f8a44e3d000-7f8a4503d000) but
that is not always a reliable way to find out which vma is a thread
stack.  Also, /proc/PID/maps and /proc/PID/task/TID/maps has the same
content.

With this patch in place, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps are treated as 'maps
as the task would see it' and hence, only the vma that that task uses as
stack is marked as [stack].  All other 'stack' vmas are marked as
anonymous memory.  /proc/PID/maps acts as a thread group level view,
where all thread stack vmas are marked as [stack:TID] where TID is the
process ID of the task that uses that vma as stack, while the process

d563c0501b vmscan: handle isolated pages with lru lock released
When shrinking inactive lru list, isolated pages are queued on locally
private list, so the lock-hold time could be reduced if pages are counted
without lock protection.

To achieve that, firstly updating reclaim stat is delayed until the
putback stage, after reacquiring the lru lock.

Secondly, operations related to vm and zone stats are now proteced with
preemption disabled as they are per-cpu operations.

28073b02bf mm: hugetlb: defer freeing pages when gathering surplus pages
When gathering surplus pages, the number of needed pages is recomputed
after reacquiring hugetlb lock to catch changes in resv_huge_pages and
free_huge_pages.  Plus it is recomputed with the number of newly allocated
pages involved.

Thus freeing pages can be deferred a bit to see if the final page request
is satisfied, though pages could be allocated less than needed.

cc715d99e5 mm: vmscan: forcibly scan highmem if there are too many buffer_heads pinning highmem
Stuart Foster reported on bugzilla that copying large amounts of data
from NTFS caused an OOM kill on 32-bit X86 with 16G of memory.  Andrew
Morton correctly identified that the problem was NTFS was using 512
blocks meaning each page had 8 buffer_heads in low memory pinning it.

In the past, direct reclaim used to scan highmem even if the allocating
process did not specify __GFP_HIGHMEM but not any more.  kswapd no longer
will reclaim from zones that are above the high watermark.  The intention
in both cases was to minimise unnecessary reclaim.  The downside is on
machines with large amounts of highmem that lowmem can be fully consumed
by buffer_heads with nothing trying to free them.

The following patch is based on a suggestion by Andrew Morton to extend
the buffer_heads_over_limit case to force kswapd and direct reclaim to
scan the highmem zone regardless of the allocation request or watermarks.

Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42578

025c5b2451 thp: optimize away unnecessary page table locking
Currently when we check if we can handle thp as it is or we need to split
it into regular sized pages, we hold page table lock prior to check
whether a given pmd is mapping thp or not.  Because of this, when it's not
"huge pmd" we suffer from unnecessary lock/unlock overhead.  To remove it,
this patch introduces a optimized check function and replace several
similar logics with it.

In the current code, cached_hole_size is set to the maximum value if the
unmapped vma is less that free_area_cache so the next search will search
from the base address.

Actually, we can keep cached_hole_size so that if the next required size
is more than cached_hole_size, it can search from free_area_cache.

The RECLAIM_FS notations indicate that it's doing the GFP_FS checking that
Nick hacked into lockdep a while back: I think we're intended to read that
"<Interrupt>" in the DEADLOCK scenario as "<Direct reclaim>".

I'm hazy, I have not reached any conclusion as to whether it's right to
complain or not; but I believe it's uneasy about kswapd now doing the
mutex_lock(&pcpu_alloc_mutex) which lru_add_drain_all() entails.  Nor have
I reached any conclusion as to whether it's important for kswapd to do
that draining or not.

But so as not to get blocked on this, with lockdep disabled from giving
further reports, here's a patch which removes the lru_add_drain_all() from
kswapd's callpath (and calls it only once from compact_nodes(), instead of
once per node).

aff622495c vmscan: only defer compaction for failed order and higher
Currently a failed order-9 (transparent hugepage) compaction can lead to
memory compaction being temporarily disabled for a memory zone.  Even if
we only need compaction for an order 2 allocation, eg.  for jumbo frames
networking.

The fix is relatively straightforward: keep track of the highest order at
which compaction is succeeding, and only defer compaction for orders at
which compaction is failing.

7be62de99a vmscan: kswapd carefully call compaction
With CONFIG_COMPACTION enabled, kswapd does not try to free contiguous
free pages, even when it is woken for a higher order request.

This could be bad for eg.  jumbo frame network allocations, which are done
from interrupt context and cannot compact memory themselves.  Higher than
before allocation failure rates in the network receive path have been
observed in kernels with compaction enabled.

Teach kswapd to defragment the memory zones in a node, but only if
required and compaction is not deferred in a zone.

fe2c2a1066 vmscan: reclaim at order 0 when compaction is enabled
When built with CONFIG_COMPACTION, kswapd should not try to free
contiguous pages, because it is not trying hard enough to have a real
chance at being successful, but still disrupts the LRU enough to break
other things.

Do not do higher order page isolation unless we really are in lumpy
reclaim mode.

Stop reclaiming pages once we have enough free pages that compaction can
deal with things, and we hit the normal order 0 watermarks used by kswapd.

Also remove a line of code that increments balanced right before exiting
the function.

67f96aa252 mm: make swapin readahead skip over holes
Ever since abandoning the virtual scan of processes, for scalability
reasons, swap space has been a little more fragmented than before.  This
can lead to the situation where a large memory user is killed, swap space
ends up full of "holes" and swapin readahead is totally ineffective.

On my home system, after killing a leaky firefox it took over an hour to
page just under 2GB of memory back in, slowing the virtual machines down
to a crawl.

This patch makes swapin readahead simply skip over holes, instead of
stopping at them.  This allows the system to swap things back in at rates
of several MB/second, instead of a few hundred kB/second.

The checks done in valid_swaphandles are already done in
read_swap_cache_async as well, allowing us to remove a fair amount of
code.

The value of nr_reclaimed is the number of pages reclaimed in the current

number of pages reclaimed in all rounds.

In each round of the loop, reclaimed pages are cut off from the reclaim
goal, and the loop stops once the goal achieved.

8447d950e7 mm, oom: do not emit oom killer warning if chosen thread is already exiting
If a thread is chosen for oom kill and is already PF_EXITING, then the oom
killer simply sets TIF_MEMDIE and returns.  This allows the thread to have
access to memory reserves so that it may quickly exit.  This logic is
preceeded with a comment saying there's no need to alarm the sysadmin.
This patch adds truth to that statement.

There's no need to emit any warning about the oom condition if the thread
is already exiting since it will not be killed.  In this condition, just
silently return the oom killer since its only giving access to memory
reserves and is otherwise a no-op.

2a1c9b1fc0 mm, oom: avoid looping when chosen thread detaches its mm
oom_kill_task() returns non-zero iff the chosen process does not have any
threads with an attached ->mm.

In such a case, it's better to just return to the page allocator and retry
the allocation because memory could have been freed in the interim and the
oom condition may no longer exist.  It's unnecessary to loop in the oom
killer and find another thread to kill.

This allows both oom_kill_task() and oom_kill_process() to be converted to
void functions.  If the oom condition persists, the oom killer will be
recalled.

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

    does not synchronize on that lock.

59927fb984 memcg: free mem_cgroup by RCU to fix oops
After fixing the GPF in mem_cgroup_lru_del_list(), three times one
machine running a similar load (moving and removing memcgs while
swapping) has oopsed in mem_cgroup_zone_nr_lru_pages(), when retrieving
memcg zone numbers for get_scan_count() for shrink_mem_cgroup_zone():
this is where a struct mem_cgroup is first accessed after being chosen
by mem_cgroup_iter().

Just what protects a struct mem_cgroup from being freed, in between
mem_cgroup_iter()'s css_get_next() and its css_tryget()? css_tryget()
fails once css->refcnt is zero with CSS_REMOVED set in flags, yes: but
what if that memory is freed and reused for something else, which sets
"refcnt" non-zero? Hmm, and scope for an indefinite freeze if refcnt is
left at zero but flags are cleared.

It's tempting to move the css_tryget() into css_get_next(), to make it
really "get" the css, but I don't think that actually solves anything:
the same difficulty in moving from css_id found to stable css remains.

But we already have rcu_read_lock() around the two, so it's easily fixed
if __mem_cgroup_free() just uses kfree_rcu() to free mem_cgroup.

However, a big struct mem_cgroup is allocated with vzalloc() instead of
kzalloc(), and we're not allowed to vfree() at interrupt time: there
doesn't appear to be a general vfree_rcu() to help with this, so roll
our own using schedule_work().  The compiler decently removes
vfree_work() and vfree_rcu() when the config doesn't need them.

be22aece68 memcg: revert fix to mapcount check for this release
Respectfully revert commit e6ca7b89dc "memcg: fix mapcount check
in move charge code for anonymous page" for the 3.3 release, so that
it behaves exactly like releases 2.6.35 through 3.2 in this respect.

Horiguchi-san's commit is correct in itself, 1 makes much more sense
than 2 in that check; but it does not go far enough - swapcount
should be considered too - if we really want such a check at all.

We appear to have reached agreement now, and expect that 3.4 will

097d59106a vm: avoid using find_vma_prev() unnecessarily
Several users of "find_vma_prev()" were not in fact interested in the
previous vma if there was no primary vma to be found either.  And in
those cases, we're much better off just using the regular "find_vma()",
and then "prev" can be looked up by just checking vma->vm_prev.

The find_vma_prev() semantics are fairly subtle (see Mikulas' recent
commit 83cd904d27: "mm: fix find_vma_prev"), and the whole "return
prev by reference" means that it generates worse code too.

Thus this "let's avoid using this inconvenient and clearly too subtle
interface when we don't really have to" patch.

83cd904d27 mm: fix find_vma_prev
Commit 6bd4837de9 ("mm: simplify find_vma_prev()") broke memory
management on PA-RISC.

After application of the patch, programs that allocate big arrays on the
stack crash with segfault, for example, this will crash if compiled
without optimization:

  int main()
  {
	char array[200000];
	array[199999] = 0;
	return 0;
  }

The reason is that PA-RISC has up-growing stack and the stack is usually
the last memory area.  In the above example, a page fault happens above
the stack.

Previously, if we passed too high address to find_vma_prev, it returned
NULL and stored the last VMA in *pprev.  After "simplify find_vma_prev"
change, it stores NULL in *pprev.  Consequently, the stack area is not
found and it is not expanded, as it used to be before the change.

This patch restores the old behavior and makes it return the last VMA in
*pprev if the requested address is higher than address of any other VMA.

c09ff089aa page_cgroup: fix horrid swap accounting regression
Why is memcg's swap accounting so broken? Insane counts, wrong
ownership, unfreeable structures, which later get freed and then
accessed after free.

Turns out to be a tiny a little 3.3-rc1 regression in 9fb4b7cc07
"page_cgroup: add helper function to get swap_cgroup": the helper
function (actually named lookup_swap_cgroup()) returns an address using
void* arithmetic, but the structure in question is a short.

1c641e8471 mm: thp: fix BUG on mm->nr_ptes
Dave Jones reports a few Fedora users hitting the BUG_ON(mm->nr_ptes...)
in exit_mmap() recently.

Quoting Hugh's discovery and explanation of the SMP race condition:

  "mm->nr_ptes had unusual locking: down_read mmap_sem plus
   page_table_lock when incrementing, down_write mmap_sem (or mm_users
   0) when decrementing; whereas THP is careful to increment and
   decrement it under page_table_lock.

   Now most of those paths in THP also hold mmap_sem for read or write
   (with appropriate checks on mm_users), but two do not: when
   split_huge_page() is called by hwpoison_user_mappings(), and when
   called by add_to_swap().

   It's conceivable that the latter case is responsible for the
   exit_mmap() BUG_ON mm->nr_ptes that has been reported on Fedora."

The simplest way to fix it without having to alter the locking is to make
split_huge_page() a noop in nr_ptes terms, so by counting the preallocated
pagetables that exists for every mapped hugepage.  It was an arbitrary
choice not to count them and either way is not wrong or right, because
they are not used but they're still allocated.

7512102cf6 memcg: fix GPF when cgroup removal races with last exit
When moving tasks from old memcg (with move_charge_at_immigrate on new
memcg), followed by removal of old memcg, hit General Protection Fault in
mem_cgroup_lru_del_list() (called from release_pages called from
free_pages_and_swap_cache from tlb_flush_mmu from tlb_finish_mmu from
exit_mmap from mmput from exit_mm from do_exit).

Somewhat reproducible, takes a few hours: the old struct mem_cgroup has
been freed and poisoned by SLAB_DEBUG, but mem_cgroup_lru_del_list() is
still trying to update its stats, and take page off lru before freeing.

A task, or a charge, or a page on lru: each secures a memcg against
removal.  In this case, the last task has been moved out of the old memcg,
and it is exiting: anonymous pages are uncharged one by one from the
memcg, as they are zapped from its pagetables, so the charge gets down to
0; but the pages themselves are queued in an mmu_gather for freeing.

Most of those pages will be on lru (and force_empty is careful to
lru_add_drain_all, to add pages from pagevec to lru first), but not
necessarily all: perhaps some have been isolated for page reclaim, perhaps
some isolated for other reasons.  So, force_empty may find no task, no
charge and no page on lru, and let the removal proceed.

There would still be no problem if these pages were immediately freed; but
typically (and the put_page_testzero protocol demands it) they have to be
added back to lru before they are found freeable, then removed from lru
and freed.  We don't see the issue when adding, because the
mem_cgroup_iter() loops keep their own reference to the memcg being
scanned; but when it comes to mem_cgroup_lru_del_list().

I believe this was not an issue in v3.2: there, PageCgroupAcctLRU and
PageCgroupUsed flags were used (like a trick with mirrors) to deflect view
of pc->mem_cgroup to the stable root_mem_cgroup when neither set.
38c5d72f3e ("memcg: simplify LRU handling by new rule") mercifully
removed those convolutions, but left this General Protection Fault.

But it's surprisingly easy to restore the old behaviour: just check
PageCgroupUsed in mem_cgroup_lru_add_list() (which decides on which lruvec
to add), and reset pc to root_mem_cgroup if page is uncharged.  A risky
change?  just going back to how it worked before; testing, and an audit of
uses of pc->mem_cgroup, show no problem.

And there's a nice bonus: with mem_cgroup_lru_add_list() itself making
sure that an uncharged page goes to root lru, mem_cgroup_reset_owner() no
longer has any purpose, and we can safely revert 4e5f01c2b9 ("memcg:
clear pc->mem_cgroup if necessary").

Calling update_page_reclaim_stat() after add_page_to_lru_list() in swap.c
is not strictly necessary: the lru_lock there, with RCU before memcg
structures are freed, makes mem_cgroup_get_reclaim_stat_from_page safe
without that; but it seems cleaner to rely on one dependency less.

9ce70c0240 memcg: fix deadlock by inverting lrucare nesting
We have forgotten the rules of lock nesting: the irq-safe ones must be
taken inside the non-irq-safe ones, otherwise we are open to deadlock:

CPU0                          CPU1
----                          ----
lock(&(&pc->lock)->rlock);
                              local_irq_disable();
                              lock(&(&zone->lru_lock)->rlock);
                              lock(&(&pc->lock)->rlock);
<Interrupt>
lock(&(&zone->lru_lock)->rlock);

To check a different locking issue, I happened to add a spin_lock to
memcg's bit_spin_lock in lock_page_cgroup(), and lockdep very quickly
complained about __mem_cgroup_commit_charge_lrucare() (on CPU1 above).

So delete __mem_cgroup_commit_charge_lrucare(), passing a bool lrucare to
__mem_cgroup_commit_charge() instead, taking zone->lru_lock under
lock_page_cgroup() in the lrucare case.

The original was using spin_lock_irqsave, but we'd be in more trouble if
it were ever called at interrupt time: unconditional _irq is enough.  And
ClearPageLRU before del from lru, SetPageLRU before add to lru: no strong
reason, but that is the ordering used consistently elsewhere.

Fixes 36b62ad539 ("memcg: simplify corner case handling
of LRU").

cd2934a3b3 flush_tlb_range() needs ->page_table_lock when ->mmap_sem is not held
All other callers already hold either ->mmap_sem (exclusive) or
->page_table_lock.  And we need it because some page table flushing
instanced do work explicitly with ge tables.

See e.g.  arch/powerpc/mm/tlb_hash32.c, flush_tlb_range() and
flush_range() in there.  The same goes for uml, with a lot more
extensive playing with page tables.

Almost all callers are actually fine - flush_tlb_range() may have no
need to bother playing with page tables, but it can do so safely; again,
this caller is the sole exception - everything else either has exclusive
->mmap_sem on the mm in question, or mm->page_table_lock is held.

847854f598 memblock: Fix size aligning of memblock_alloc_base_nid()
memblock allocator aligns @size to @align to reduce the amount
of fragmentation.  Commit:

 7bd0b0f0da ("memblock: Reimplement memblock allocation using reverse free area iterator")

Broke it by incorrectly relocating @size aligning to
memblock_find_in_range_node().  As the aligned size is not
propagated back to memblock_alloc_base_nid(), the actually
reserved size isn't aligned.

While this increases memory use for memblock reserved array,
this shouldn't cause any critical failure; however, it seems
that the size aligning was hiding a use-beyond-allocation bug in
sparc64 and losing the aligning causes boot failure.

The underlying problem is currently being debugged but this is a
proper fix in itself, it's already pretty late in -rc cycle for
boot failures and reverting the change for debugging isn't
difficult. Restore the size aligning moving it to
memblock_alloc_base_nid().
