Andrew explains:
- various misc stuff
- Most of the rest of MM: memcg, threaded hugepages, others.
- cpumask
- kexec
- kdump
- some direct-io performance tweaking
- radix-tree optimisations
- new selftests code
A note on this: often people will develop a new userspace-visible
feature and will develop userspace code to exercise/test that
feature. Then they merge the patch and the selftest code dies.
Sometimes we paste it into the changelog. Sometimes the code gets
thrown into Documentation/(!).
This saddens me. So this patch creates a bare-bones framework which
will henceforth allow me to ask people to include their test apps in
the kernel tree so we can keep them alive. Then when people enhance
or fix the feature, I can ask them to update the test app too.
The infrastruture is terribly trivial at present - let's see how it
evolves.
- checkpoint/restart feature work.
A note on this: this is a project by various mad Russians to perform
c/r mainly from userspace, with various oddball helper code added
into the kernel where the need is demonstrated.
So rather than some large central lump of code, what we have is
little bits and pieces popping up in various places which either
expose something new or which permit something which is normally
kernel-private to be modified.
The overall project is an ongoing thing. I've judged that the size
and scope of the thing means that we're more likely to be successful
with it if we integrate the support into mainline piecemeal rather
than allowing it all to develop out-of-tree.
However I'm less confident than the developers that it will all
eventually work! So what I'm asking them to do is to wrap each piece
of new code inside CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE. So if it all
eventually comes to tears and the project as a whole fails, it should
be a simple matter to go through and delete all trace of it.
This lot pretty much wraps up the -rc1 merge for me.

When we restore a task we need to set up text, data and data heap sizes
from userspace to the values a task had at checkpoint time. This patch
adds auxilary prctl codes for that.
While most of them have a statistical nature (their values are involved
into calculation of /proc/<pid>/statm output) the start_brk and brk values
are used to compute an allowed size of program data segment expansion.
Which means an arbitrary changes of this values might be dangerous
operation. So to restrict access the following requirements applied to
prctl calls:
- The process has to have CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability granted.
- For all opcodes except start_brk/brk members an appropriate
VMA area must exist and should fit certain VMA flags,
such as:
- code segment must be executable but not writable;
- data segment must not be executable.
start_brk/brk values must not intersect with data segment and must not
exceed RLIMIT_DATA resource limit.
Still the main guard is CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability check.
Note the kernel should be compiled with CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE support
otherwise these prctl calls will return -EINVAL.

For restore we need to know all these values. While

members are not, so this patch brings them in.
The restore procedure of these members is addressed in another patch using

Down, down in the deepest depths of GFP_NOIO page reclaim, we have
shrink_page_list() calling __remove_mapping() calling __delete_from_
swap_cache() or __delete_from_page_cache().
You would not expect those to need much stack, but in fact they call
radix_tree_delete(): which declares a 192-byte radix_tree_path array on
its stack (to record the node,offsets it visits when descending, in case
it needs to ascend to update them). And if any tag is still set [1],
that calls radix_tree_tag_clear(), which declares a further such
192-byte radix_tree_path array on the stack. (At least we have
interrupts disabled here, so won't then be pushing registers too.)
That was probably a good choice when most users were 32-bit (array of
half the size), and adding fields to radix_tree_node would have bloated
it unnecessarily. But nowadays many are 64-bit, and each
radix_tree_node contains a struct rcu_head, which is only used when
freeing; whereas the radix_tree_path info is only used for updating the
tree (deleting, clearing tags or setting tags if tagged) when a lock
must be held, of no interest when accessing the tree locklessly.
So add a parent pointer to the radix_tree_node, in union with the
rcu_head, and remove all uses of the radix_tree_path. There would be
space in that union to save the offset when descending as before (we can
argue that a lock must already be held to exclude other users), but
recalculating it when ascending is both easy (a constant shift and a
constant mask) and uncommon, so it seems better just to do that.
Two little optimizations: no need to decrement height when descending,
adjusting shift is enough; and once radix_tree_tag_if_tagged() has set
tag on a node and its ancestors, it need not ascend from that node
again.
perf on the radix tree test harness reports radix_tree_insert() as 2%
slower (now having to set parent), but radix_tree_delete() 24% faster.
Surely that's an exaggeration from rtth's artificially low map shift 3,
but forcing it back to 6 still rates radix_tree_delete() 8% faster.
[1] Can a pagecache tag (dirty, writeback or towrite) actually still be
set at the time of radix_tree_delete()? Perhaps not if the filesystem is
well-behaved. But although I've not tracked any stack overflow down to
this cause, I have observed a curious case in which a dirty tag is set
and left set on tmpfs: page migration's migrate_page_copy() happens to
use __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() to set PageDirty on the newpage, and
that sets PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY as a side-effect - harmless to a
filesystem which doesn't use tags, except for this stack depth issue.

Some investigation of a transaction processing workload showed that a
major consumer of cycles in __blockdev_direct_IO is the cache miss while
accessing the block size. This is because it has to walk the chain from
block_dev to gendisk to queue.
The block size is needed early on to check alignment and sizes. It's only
done if the check for the inode block size fails. But the costly block
device state is unconditionally fetched.
- Reorganize the code to only fetch block dev state when actually
needed.
Then do a prefetch on the block dev early on in the direct IO path. This
is worth it, because there is substantial code run before we actually
touch the block dev now.
- I also added some unlikelies to make it clear the compiler that block
device fetch code is not normally executed.
This gave a small, but measurable improvement on a large database
benchmark (about 0.3%)

This makes it possible to get from the inode to the request_queue with one

The livetime of the pointer is the same as the gendisk.
This assumes that the queue will always stay the same in the gendisk while
it's visible to block_devices. I think that's safe correct?

In get_more_blocks(), we use dio_count to calcuate fs_count and do some
tricky things to increase fs_count if dio_count isn't aligned. But
actually it still has some corner cases that can't be coverd. See the
following example:
dio_write foo -s 1024 -w 4096
(direct write 4096 bytes at offset 1024). The same goes if the offset
isn't aligned to fs_blocksize.
In this case, the old calculation counts fs_count to be 1, but actually we
will write into 2 different blocks (if fs_blocksize=4096). The old code
just works, since it will call get_block twice (and may have to allocate
and create extents twice for filesystems like ext4). So we'd better call
get_block just once with the proper fs_count.

The sysctl works on the current task's pid namespace, getting and setting
its last_pid field.
Writing is allowed for CAP_SYS_ADMIN-capable tasks thus making it possible
to create a task with desired pid value. This ability is required badly

This approach suits all the parties for now.

Currently no udev events for memory hotplug "online" and "offline" are
generated:
# udevadm monitor
# echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory4/state
==> No event
When kdump is loaded, kexec detects the current memory configuration and
stores it in the pre-allocated ELF core header. Therefore, for kdump it
is necessary to reload the kdump kernel with kexec when the memory
configuration changes (e.g. for online/offline hotplug memory).
In order to do this automatically, udev rules should be used. This kernel
patch adds udev events for "online" and "offline". Together with this
kernel patch, the following udev rules for online/offline have to be added
to "/etc/udev/rules.d/98-kexec.rules":
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="online", PROGRAM="/etc/init.d/kdump restart"
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="offline", PROGRAM="/etc/init.d/kdump restart"

When two CPUs call panic at the same time there is a possible race
condition that can stop kdump. The first CPU calls crash_kexec() and the
second CPU calls smp_send_stop() in panic() before crash_kexec() finished
on the first CPU. So the second CPU stops the first CPU and therefore
kdump fails:
1st CPU:
panic()->crash_kexec()->mutex_trylock(&kexec_mutex)-> do kdump
2nd CPU:
panic()->crash_kexec()->kexec_mutex already held by 1st CPU
->smp_send_stop()-> stop 1st CPU (stop kdump)
This patch fixes the problem by introducing a spinlock in panic that
allows only one CPU to process crash_kexec() and the subsequent panic
code.
All other CPUs call the weak function panic_smp_self_stop() that stops the
CPU itself. This function can be overloaded by architecture code. For
example "tile" can use their lower-power "nap" instruction for that.

resource_size(&crashk_res) returns 1 in this case. This breaks the s390
implementation of crash_(un)map_reserved_pages().
To fix the problem the correct "old_size" is now calculated in
crash_shrink_memory(). "old_size is set to "0" if crashk_res is not
initialized. With this change crash_shrink_memory() will do nothing, when
"crashk_res" is not initialized. It will return "0" for "echo 0 >
/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" and -EINVAL for "echo [not zero] >
/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size".
In addition to that this patch also simplifies the "ret = -EINVAL" vs.
"ret = 0" logic as suggested by Simon Horman.

When shrinking crashkernel memory using /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size for
the newly added memory no RAM resource is created at the moment.
Example:
$ cat /proc/iomem
00000000-bfffffff : System RAM
00000000-005b7ac3 : Kernel code
005b7ac4-009743bf : Kernel data
009bb000-00a85c33 : Kernel bss
c0000000-cfffffff : Crash kernel
d0000000-ffffffff : System RAM
$ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size
$ cat /proc/iomem
00000000-bfffffff : System RAM
00000000-005b7ac3 : Kernel code
005b7ac4-009743bf : Kernel data
009bb000-00a85c33 : Kernel bss
<<-- here is System RAM missing
d0000000-ffffffff : System RAM
One result of this bug is that the memory chunk can never be set offline
using memory hotplug. With this patch I insert a new "System RAM"
resource for the released memory. Then the upper example looks like the
following:
$ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size
$ cat /proc/iomem
00000000-bfffffff : System RAM
00000000-005b7ac3 : Kernel code
005b7ac4-009743bf : Kernel data
009bb000-00a85c33 : Kernel bss
c0000000-cfffffff : System RAM <<-- new rescoure
d0000000-ffffffff : System RAM
And now I can set chunk c0000000-cfffffff offline.

shrink_inactive_list() itself, so the balance is clearer.
Do the spin_lock_irq() before calling putback_inactive_pages() and

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
