bdcbb659fe memcg: fold mem_cgroup_stolen
It is only used in __mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat(), the name is
confusing and 2 routines for one thing also confuse people, so fold this
function seems more clear.

7fe7047597 mm: shrinker trace points: fix negatives
I was looking at a trace of the slab shrinkers (attachment in this comment):

	https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72742#c67

and noticed that "total_scan" can go negative in some cases.  We
used to dump out the "total_scan" variable directly, but some of
the shrinker modifications along the way changed that.

This patch just dumps it out directly, again.  It doesn't make
any sense to derive it from new_nr and nr any more since there
are now other shrinkers that can be running in parallel and
mucking with those values.

Here's an example of the negative numbers in the output:

cc6b664aa2 mm/dmapool.c: remove redundant NULL check for dev in dma_pool_create()
"dev" cannot be NULL because it is already checked before calling
dma_pool_create().

If dev ever was NULL, the code would oops in dev_to_node() after enabling
CONFIG_NUMA.

It is possible that some driver is using dev==NULL and has never been run
on a NUMA machine.  Such a driver is probably outdated, possibly buggy and
will need some attention if it starts triggering NULL derefs.

d2ee40eae9 mm: introdule compound_head_by_tail()
Currently, in put_compound_page(), we have

======
if (likely(!PageTail(page))) {                  <------  (1)
        if (put_page_testzero(page)) {
                 /*
                 ¦* By the time all refcounts have been released
                 ¦* split_huge_page cannot run anymore from under us.
                 ¦*/
                 if (PageHead(page))
                         __put_compound_page(page);
                 else
                         __put_single_page(page);
         }
         return;
}

/* __split_huge_page_refcount can run under us */
page_head = compound_head(page);        <------------ (2)
======

if at (1) ,  we fail the check, this means page is *likely* a tail page.

Then at (2), as compoud_head(page) is inlined, it is :

======
static inline struct page *compound_head(struct page *page)
{
          if (unlikely(PageTail(page))) {           <----------- (3)
              struct page *head = page->first_page;

                smp_rmb();
                if (likely(PageTail(page)))
                        return head;
        }
        return page;
}
======

here, the (3) unlikely in the case is a negative hint, because it is
*likely* a tail page.  So the check (3) in this case is not good, so I
introduce a helper for this case.

So this patch introduces compound_head_by_tail() which deals with a
possible tail page(though it could be spilt by a racy thread), and make
compound_head() a wrapper on it.

This patch has no functional change, and it reduces the object
size slightly:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex  filename
  11003    1328      16   12347    303b  mm/swap.o.orig
  10971    1328      16   12315    301b  mm/swap.o.patched

I've ran "perf top -e branch-miss" to observe branch-miss in this case.
As Michael points out, it's a slow path, so only very few times this case
happens.  But I grep'ed the code base, and found there still are some
other call sites could be benifited from this helper.  And given that it
only bloating up the source by only 5 lines, but with a reduced object
size.  I still believe this helper deserves to exsit.

4bd3e8f7b9 mm/swap.c: split put_compound_page()
Currently, put_compound_page() carefully handles tricky cases to avoid
racing with compound page releasing or splitting, which makes it quite
lenthy (about 200+ lines) and needs deep tab indention, which makes it
quite hard to follow and maintain.

Now based on two helpers introduced in the previous patch ("mm/swap.c:
introduce put_[un]refcounted_compound_page helpers for spliting
put_compound_page"), this patch replaces those two lengthy code paths with
these two helpers, respectively.  Also, it has some comment rephrasing.

After this patch, the put_compound_page() is very compact, thus easy to
read and maintain.

After splitting, the object file is of same size as the original one.
Actually, I've diff'ed put_compound_page()'s orginal disassemble code and
the patched disassemble code, the are 100% the same!

This fact shows that this splitting has no functional change, but it
brings readability.

This patch and the previous one blow the code by 32 lines, mostly due to
comments.

c747ce7907 mm/swap.c: introduce put_[un]refcounted_compound_page helpers for splitting put_compound_page()
Currently, put_compound_page() carefully handles tricky cases to avoid
racing with compound page releasing or splitting, which makes it quite
lenthy (about 200+ lines) and needs deep tab indention, which makes it
quite hard to follow and maintain.

This patch and the next patch refactor this function.

Based on the code skeleton of put_compound_page:

put_compound_pge:
        if !PageTail(page)
        	put head page fastpath;
		return;

        /* else PageTail */
        page_head = compound_head(page)
        if !__compound_tail_refcounted(page_head)
		put head page optimal path; <---(1)
		return;
        else
		put head page slowpath; <--- (2)
                return;

This patch introduces two helpers, put_[un]refcounted_compound_page,
handling the code path (1) and code path (2), respectively.  They both are
tagged __always_inline, thus elmiating function call overhead, making them
operating the same way as before.

They are almost copied verbatim(except one place, a "goto out_put_single"
is expanded), with some comments rephrasing.

399ba0b956 mm/vmscan.c: avoid throttling reclaim for loop-back nfsd threads
When a loopback NFS mount is active and the backing device for the NFS
mount becomes congested, that can impose throttling delays on the nfsd
threads.

These delays significantly reduce throughput and so the NFS mount remains
congested.

This results in a livelock and the reduced throughput persists.

This livelock has been found in testing with the 'wait_iff_congested'
call, and could possibly be caused by the 'congestion_wait' call.

This livelock is similar to the deadlock which justified the introduction
of PF_LESS_THROTTLE, and the same flag can be used to remove this
livelock.

To minimise the impact of the change, we still throttle nfsd when the
filesystem it is writing to is congested, but not when some separate
filesystem (e.g.  the NFS filesystem) is congested.

11de9927f9 mm: numa: add migrated transhuge pages to LRU the same way as base pages
Migration of misplaced transhuge pages uses page_add_new_anon_rmap() when
putting the page back as it avoided an atomic operations and added the new
page to the correct LRU.  A side-effect is that the page gets marked
activated as part of the migration meaning that transhuge and base pages
are treated differently from an aging perspective than base page
migration.

This patch uses page_add_anon_rmap() and putback_lru_page() on completion
of a transhuge migration similar to base page migration.  It would require
fewer atomic operations to use lru_cache_add without taking an additional
reference to the page.  The downside would be that it's still different to
base page migration and unevictable pages may be added to the wrong LRU
for cleaning up later.  Testing of the usual workloads did not show any
adverse impact to the change.

 - slab_mutex.  This one is held during the whole kmem cache creation
   and destruction paths.  We also take it when updating per root cache
   memcg_caches arrays (see memcg_update_all_caches).  As a result, taking
   it guarantees there will be no changes to any kmem cache (including per
   memcg).  Why do we need something else then?  The point is it is
   private to slab implementation and has some internal dependencies with
   other mutexes (get_online_cpus).  So we just don't want to rely upon it
   and prefer to introduce additional mutexes instead.

 - activate_kmem_mutex.  Initially it was added to synchronize
   initializing kmem limit (memcg_activate_kmem).  However, since we can
   grow per root cache memcg_caches arrays only on kmem limit
   initialization (see memcg_update_all_caches), we also employ it to
   protect against memcg_caches arrays relocation (e.g.  see
   __kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children).

 - We have a convention not to take slab_mutex in memcontrol.c, but we
   want to walk over per memcg memcg_slab_caches lists there (e.g.  for
   destroying all memcg caches on offline).  So we have per memcg
   slab_caches_mutex's protecting those lists.

The mutexes are taken in the following order:

   activate_kmem_mutex -> slab_mutex -> memcg::slab_caches_mutex

Such a syncrhonization scheme has a number of flaws, for instance:

 - We can't call kmem_cache_{destroy,shrink} while walking over a
   memcg::memcg_slab_caches list due to locking order.  As a result, in
   mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches we schedule the
   memcg_cache_params::destroy work shrinking and destroying the cache.

 - We don't have a mutex to synchronize per memcg caches destruction
   between memcg offline (mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches) and root cache
   destruction (__kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children).  Currently we just
   don't bother about it.

This patch simplifies it by substituting per memcg slab_caches_mutex's
with the global memcg_slab_mutex.  It will be held whenever a new per
memcg cache is created or destroyed, so it protects per root cache
memcg_caches arrays and per memcg memcg_slab_caches lists.  The locking
order is following:

   activate_kmem_mutex -> memcg_slab_mutex -> slab_mutex

This allows us to call kmem_cache_{create,shrink,destroy} under the
memcg_slab_mutex.  As a result, we don't need memcg_cache_params::destroy
work any more - we can simply destroy caches while iterating over a per
memcg slab caches list.

Also using the global mutex simplifies synchronization between concurrent
per memcg caches creation/destruction, e.g.  mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches
vs __kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children.

The downside of this is that we substitute per-memcg slab_caches_mutex's
with a hummer-like global mutex, but since we already take either the
slab_mutex or the cgroup_mutex along with a memcg::slab_caches_mutex, it
shouldn't hurt concurrency a lot.

c67a8a685a memcg, slab: merge memcg_{bind,release}_pages to memcg_{un}charge_slab
Currently we have two pairs of kmemcg-related functions that are called on
slab alloc/free.  The first is memcg_{bind,release}_pages that count the
total number of pages allocated on a kmem cache.  The second is
memcg_{un}charge_slab that {un}charge slab pages to kmemcg resource
counter.  Let's just merge them to keep the code clean.

1e32e77f95 memcg, slab: do not schedule cache destruction when last page goes away
This patchset is a part of preparations for kmemcg re-parenting.  It
targets at simplifying kmemcg work-flows and synchronization.

First, it removes async per memcg cache destruction (see patches 1, 2).
Now caches are only destroyed on memcg offline.  That means the caches
that are not empty on memcg offline will be leaked.  However, they are
already leaked, because memcg_cache_params::nr_pages normally never drops
to 0 so the destruction work is never scheduled except kmem_cache_shrink
is called explicitly.  In the future I'm planning reaping such dead caches
on vmpressure or periodically.

Second, it substitutes per memcg slab_caches_mutex's with the global
memcg_slab_mutex, which should be taken during the whole per memcg cache
creation/destruction path before the slab_mutex (see patch 3).  This
greatly simplifies synchronization among various per memcg cache
creation/destruction paths.

I'm still not quite sure about the end picture, in particular I don't know
whether we should reap dead memcgs' kmem caches periodically or try to
merge them with their parents (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/20/38 for
more details), but whichever way we choose, this set looks like a
reasonable change to me, because it greatly simplifies kmemcg work-flows
and eases further development.

This patch (of 3):

After a memcg is offlined, we mark its kmem caches that cannot be deleted
right now due to pending objects as dead by setting the
memcg_cache_params::dead flag, so that memcg_release_pages will schedule
cache destruction (memcg_cache_params::destroy) as soon as the last slab
of the cache is freed (memcg_cache_params::nr_pages drops to zero).

I guess the idea was to destroy the caches as soon as possible, i.e.
immediately after freeing the last object.  However, it just doesn't work
that way, because kmem caches always preserve some pages for the sake of
performance, so that nr_pages never gets to zero unless the cache is
shrunk explicitly using kmem_cache_shrink.  Of course, we could account
the total number of objects on the cache or check if all the slabs
allocated for the cache are empty on kmem_cache_free and schedule
destruction if so, but that would be too costly.

Thus we have a piece of code that works only when we explicitly call
kmem_cache_shrink, but complicates the whole picture a lot.  Moreover,
it's racy in fact.  For instance, kmem_cache_shrink may free the last slab
and thus schedule cache destruction before it finishes checking that the
cache is empty, which can lead to use-after-free.

So I propose to remove this async cache destruction from
memcg_release_pages, and check if the cache is empty explicitly after
calling kmem_cache_shrink instead.  This will simplify things a lot w/o
introducing any functional changes.

And regarding dead memcg caches (i.e.  those that are left hanging around
after memcg offline for they have objects), I suppose we should reap them
either periodically or on vmpressure as Glauber suggested initially.  I'm
going to implement this later.

d8dc595ce3 memcg: do not hang on OOM when killed by userspace OOM access to memory reserves
Eric has reported that he can see task(s) stuck in memcg OOM handler
regularly.  The only way out is to

	echo 0 > $GROUP/memory.oom_control

His usecase is:

- Setup a hierarchy with memory and the freezer (disable kernel oom and
  have a process watch for oom).

- In that memory cgroup add a process with one thread per cpu.

- In one thread slowly allocate once per second I think it is 16M of ram
  and mlock and dirty it (just to force the pages into ram and stay
  there).

- When oom is achieved loop:
  * attempt to freeze all of the tasks.
  * if frozen send every task SIGKILL, unfreeze, remove the directory in
    cgroupfs.

Eric has then pinpointed the issue to be memcg specific.

All tasks are sitting on the memcg_oom_waitq when memcg oom is disabled.
Those that have received fatal signal will bypass the charge and should
continue on their way out.  The tricky part is that the exit path might
trigger a page fault (e.g.  exit_robust_list), thus the memcg charge,
while its memcg is still under OOM because nobody has released any charges
yet.

Unlike with the in-kernel OOM handler the exiting task doesn't get
TIF_MEMDIE set so it doesn't shortcut further charges of the killed task
and falls to the memcg OOM again without any way out of it as there are no
fatal signals pending anymore.

This patch fixes the issue by checking PF_EXITING early in
mem_cgroup_try_charge and bypass the charge same as if it had fatal
signal pending or TIF_MEMDIE set.

Normally exiting tasks (aka not killed) will bypass the charge now but
this should be OK as the task is leaving and will release memory and
increasing the memory pressure just to release it in a moment seems
dubious wasting of cycles.  Besides that charges after exit_signals should
be rare.

I am bringing this patch again (rebased on the current mmotm tree). I
hope we can move forward finally. If there is still an opposition then
I would really appreciate a concurrent approach so that we can discuss
alternatives.

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.stable/77650 is a reference
to the followup discussion when the patch has been dropped from the mmotm
last time.

675becce15 mm: vmscan: do not throttle based on pfmemalloc reserves if node has no ZONE_NORMAL
throttle_direct_reclaim() is meant to trigger during swap-over-network
during which the min watermark is treated as a pfmemalloc reserve.  It
throttes on the first node in the zonelist but this is flawed.

The user-visible impact is that a process running on CPU whose local
memory node has no ZONE_NORMAL will stall for prolonged periods of time,
possibly indefintely.  This is due to throttle_direct_reclaim thinking the
pfmemalloc reserves are depleted when in fact they don't exist on that
node.

On a NUMA machine running a 32-bit kernel (I know) allocation requests
from CPUs on node 1 would detect no pfmemalloc reserves and the process
gets throttled.  This patch adjusts throttling of direct reclaim to
throttle based on the first node in the zonelist that has a usable
ZONE_NORMAL or lower zone.

5bcc9f86ef mm/page_alloc: prevent MIGRATE_RESERVE pages from being misplaced
For the MIGRATE_RESERVE pages, it is useful when they do not get
misplaced on free_list of other migratetype, otherwise they might get
allocated prematurely and e.g.  fragment the MIGRATE_RESEVE pageblocks.
While this cannot be avoided completely when allocating new
MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks in min_free_kbytes sysctl handler, we should
prevent the misplacement where possible.

Currently, it is possible for the misplacement to happen when a
MIGRATE_RESERVE page is allocated on pcplist through rmqueue_bulk() as a
fallback for other desired migratetype, and then later freed back
through free_pcppages_bulk() without being actually used.  This happens
because free_pcppages_bulk() uses get_freepage_migratetype() to choose
the free_list, and rmqueue_bulk() calls set_freepage_migratetype() with
the *desired* migratetype and not the page's original MIGRATE_RESERVE
migratetype.

This patch fixes the problem by moving the call to
set_freepage_migratetype() from rmqueue_bulk() down to
__rmqueue_smallest() and __rmqueue_fallback() where the actual page's
migratetype (e.g.  from which free_list the page is taken from) is used.
Note that this migratetype might be different from the pageblock's
migratetype due to freepage stealing decisions.  This is OK, as page
stealing never uses MIGRATE_RESERVE as a fallback, and also takes care
to leave all MIGRATE_CMA pages on the correct freelist.

Therefore, as an additional benefit, the call to
get_pageblock_migratetype() from rmqueue_bulk() when CMA is enabled, can
be removed completely.  This relies on the fact that MIGRATE_CMA
pageblocks are created only during system init, and the above.  The
related is_migrate_isolate() check is also unnecessary, as memory
isolation has other ways to move pages between freelists, and drain pcp
lists containing pages that should be isolated.  The buffered_rmqueue()
can also benefit from calling get_freepage_migratetype() instead of
get_pageblock_migratetype().

03afc0e25f slab: get_online_mems for kmem_cache_{create,destroy,shrink}
When we create a sl[au]b cache, we allocate kmem_cache_node structures
for each online NUMA node.  To handle nodes taken online/offline, we
register memory hotplug notifier and allocate/free kmem_cache_node
corresponding to the node that changes its state for each kmem cache.

To synchronize between the two paths we hold the slab_mutex during both
the cache creationg/destruction path and while tuning per-node parts of
kmem caches in memory hotplug handler, but that's not quite right,
because it does not guarantee that a newly created cache will have all
kmem_cache_nodes initialized in case it races with memory hotplug.  For
instance, in case of slub:

    CPU0                            CPU1
    ----                            ----
    kmem_cache_create:              online_pages:
     __kmem_cache_create:            slab_memory_callback:
                                      slab_mem_going_online_callback:
                                       lock slab_mutex
                                       for each slab_caches list entry
                                           allocate kmem_cache node
                                       unlock slab_mutex
      lock slab_mutex
      init_kmem_cache_nodes:
       for_each_node_state(node, N_NORMAL_MEMORY)
           allocate kmem_cache node
      add kmem_cache to slab_caches list
      unlock slab_mutex
                                    online_pages (continued):
                                     node_states_set_node

As a result we'll get a kmem cache with not all kmem_cache_nodes
allocated.

To avoid issues like that we should hold get/put_online_mems() during
the whole kmem cache creation/destruction/shrink paths, just like we
deal with cpu hotplug.  This patch does the trick.

Note, that after it's applied, there is no need in taking the slab_mutex
for kmem_cache_shrink any more, so it is removed from there.

bfc8c90139 mem-hotplug: implement get/put_online_mems
kmem_cache_{create,destroy,shrink} need to get a stable value of
cpu/node online mask, because they init/destroy/access per-cpu/node
kmem_cache parts, which can be allocated or destroyed on cpu/mem
hotplug.  To protect against cpu hotplug, these functions use
{get,put}_online_cpus.  However, they do nothing to synchronize with
memory hotplug - taking the slab_mutex does not eliminate the
possibility of race as described in patch 2.

What we need there is something like get_online_cpus, but for memory.
We already have lock_memory_hotplug, which serves for the purpose, but
it's a bit of a hammer right now, because it's backed by a mutex.  As a
result, it imposes some limitations to locking order, which are not
desirable, and can't be used just like get_online_cpus.  That's why in
patch 1 I substitute it with get/put_online_mems, which work exactly
like get/put_online_cpus except they block not cpu, but memory hotplug.

[ v1 can be found at https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/6/68.  I NAK'ed it by
  myself, because it used an rw semaphore for get/put_online_mems,
  making them dead lock prune.  ]

This patch (of 2):

{un}lock_memory_hotplug, which is used to synchronize against memory
hotplug, is currently backed by a mutex, which makes it a bit of a
hammer - threads that only want to get a stable value of online nodes
mask won't be able to proceed concurrently.  Also, it imposes some
strong locking ordering rules on it, which narrows down the set of its
usage scenarios.

This patch introduces get/put_online_mems, which are the same as
get/put_online_cpus, but for memory hotplug, i.e.  executing a code
inside a get/put_online_mems section will guarantee a stable value of
online nodes, present pages, etc.

lock_memory_hotplug()/unlock_memory_hotplug() are removed altogether.

5f7a75acdb mm: page_alloc: do not cache reclaim distances
pgdat->reclaim_nodes tracks if a remote node is allowed to be reclaimed
by zone_reclaim due to its distance.  As it is expected that
zone_reclaim_mode will be rarely enabled it is unreasonable for all
machines to take a penalty.  Fortunately, the zone_reclaim_mode() path
is already slow and it is the path that takes the hit.

4f9b16a647 mm: disable zone_reclaim_mode by default
When it was introduced, zone_reclaim_mode made sense as NUMA distances
punished and workloads were generally partitioned to fit into a NUMA
node.  NUMA machines are now common but few of the workloads are
NUMA-aware and it's routine to see major performance degradation due to
zone_reclaim_mode being enabled but relatively few can identify the
problem.

Those that require zone_reclaim_mode are likely to be able to detect
when it needs to be enabled and tune appropriately so lets have a
sensible default for the bulk of users.

This patch (of 2):

zone_reclaim_mode causes processes to prefer reclaiming memory from
local node instead of spilling over to other nodes.  This made sense
initially when NUMA machines were almost exclusively HPC and the
workload was partitioned into nodes.  The NUMA penalties were
sufficiently high to justify reclaiming the memory.  On current machines
and workloads it is often the case that zone_reclaim_mode destroys
performance but not all users know how to detect this.  Favour the
common case and disable it by default.  Users that are sophisticated
enough to know they need zone_reclaim_mode will detect it.

944d9fec8d hugetlb: add support for gigantic page allocation at runtime
HugeTLB is limited to allocating hugepages whose size are less than
MAX_ORDER order.  This is so because HugeTLB allocates hugepages via the
buddy allocator.  Gigantic pages (that is, pages whose size is greater
than MAX_ORDER order) have to be allocated at boottime.

However, boottime allocation has at least two serious problems.  First,
it doesn't support NUMA and second, gigantic pages allocated at boottime
can't be freed.

This commit solves both issues by adding support for allocating gigantic
pages during runtime.  It works just like regular sized hugepages,
meaning that the interface in sysfs is the same, it supports NUMA, and
gigantic pages can be freed.

For example, on x86_64 gigantic pages are 1GB big. To allocate two 1G
gigantic pages on node 1, one can do:

 # echo 2 > \
   /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages

And to free them all:

 # echo 0 > \
   /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages

The one problem with gigantic page allocation at runtime is that it
can't be serviced by the buddy allocator.  To overcome that problem,
this commit scans all zones from a node looking for a large enough
contiguous region.  When one is found, it's allocated by using CMA, that
is, we call alloc_contig_range() to do the actual allocation.  For
example, on x86_64 we scan all zones looking for a 1GB contiguous
region.  When one is found, it's allocated by alloc_contig_range().

One expected issue with that approach is that such gigantic contiguous
regions tend to vanish as runtime goes by.  The best way to avoid this
for now is to make gigantic page allocations very early during system
boot, say from a init script.  Other possible optimization include using
compaction, which is supported by CMA but is not explicitly used by this
commit.

It's also important to note the following:

 1. Gigantic pages allocated at boottime by the hugepages= command-line
    option can be freed at runtime just fine

 2. This commit adds support for gigantic pages only to x86_64. The
    reason is that I don't have access to nor experience with other archs.
    The code is arch indepedent though, so it should be simple to add
    support to different archs

 3. I didn't add support for hugepage overcommit, that is allocating
    a gigantic page on demand when
   /proc/sys/vm/nr_overcommit_hugepages > 0. The reason is that I don't
   think it's reasonable to do the hard and long work required for
   allocating a gigantic page at fault time. But it should be simple
   to add this if wanted

2906dd5283 hugetlb: prep_compound_gigantic_page(): drop __init marker
The HugeTLB subsystem uses the buddy allocator to allocate hugepages
during runtime.  This means that hugepages allocation during runtime is
limited to MAX_ORDER order.  For archs supporting gigantic pages (that
is, page sizes greater than MAX_ORDER), this in turn means that those
pages can't be allocated at runtime.

HugeTLB supports gigantic page allocation during boottime, via the boot
allocator.  To this end the kernel provides the command-line options
hugepagesz= and hugepages=, which can be used to instruct the kernel to
allocate N gigantic pages during boot.

For example, x86_64 supports 2M and 1G hugepages, but only 2M hugepages
can be allocated and freed at runtime.  If one wants to allocate 1G
gigantic pages, this has to be done at boot via the hugepagesz= and
hugepages= command-line options.

Now, gigantic page allocation at boottime has two serious problems:

 1. Boottime allocation is not NUMA aware. On a NUMA machine the kernel
    evenly distributes boottime allocated hugepages among nodes.

    For example, suppose you have a four-node NUMA machine and want
    to allocate four 1G gigantic pages at boottime. The kernel will
    allocate one gigantic page per node.

    On the other hand, we do have users who want to be able to specify
    which NUMA node gigantic pages should allocated from. So that they
    can place virtual machines on a specific NUMA node.

 2. Gigantic pages allocated at boottime can't be freed

At this point it's important to observe that regular hugepages allocated
at runtime don't have those problems.  This is so because HugeTLB
interface for runtime allocation in sysfs supports NUMA and runtime
allocated pages can be freed just fine via the buddy allocator.

This series adds support for allocating gigantic pages at runtime.  It
does so by allocating gigantic pages via CMA instead of the buddy
allocator.  Releasing gigantic pages is also supported via CMA.  As this
series builds on top of the existing HugeTLB interface, it makes gigantic
page allocation and releasing just like regular sized hugepages.  This
also means that NUMA support just works.

For example, to allocate two 1G gigantic pages on node 1, one can do:

 # echo 2 > \
   /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages

And, to release all gigantic pages on the same node:

 # echo 0 > \
   /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages

Please, refer to patch 5/5 for full technical details.

Finally, please note that this series is a follow up for a previous series
that tried to extend the command-line options set to be NUMA aware:

 http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=139593335312191&w=2

During the discussion of that series it was agreed that having runtime
allocation support for gigantic pages was a better solution.

This patch (of 5):

This function is going to be used by non-init code in a future
commit.

3dae7fec5e mm: memcontrol: remove hierarchy restrictions for swappiness and oom_control
Per-memcg swappiness and oom killing can currently not be tweaked on a
memcg that is part of a hierarchy, but not the root of that hierarchy.
Users have complained that they can't configure this when they turned on
hierarchy mode.  In fact, with hierarchy mode becoming the default, this
restriction disables the tunables entirely.

But there is no good reason for this restriction.  The settings for
swappiness and OOM killing are taken from whatever memcg whose limit
triggered reclaim and OOM invocation, regardless of its position in the
hierarchy tree.

Allow setting swappiness on any group.  The knob on the root memcg
already reads the global VM swappiness, make it writable as well.

Allow disabling the OOM killer on any non-root memcg.

6f04f48dc9 mm: only force scan in reclaim when none of the LRUs are big enough.
Prior to this change, we would decide whether to force scan a LRU during
reclaim if that LRU itself was too small for the current priority.
However, this can lead to the file LRU getting force scanned even if
there are a lot of anonymous pages we can reclaim, leading to hot file
pages getting needlessly reclaimed.

To address this, we instead only force scan when none of the reclaimable
LRUs are big enough.

Gives huge improvements with zswap.  For example, when doing -j20 kernel
build in a 500MB container with zswap enabled, runtime (in seconds) is
greatly reduced:

        -78.5293% +/- 6.14709%
        (Student's t, pooled s = 31.7819)

Should also give some improvements in regular (non-zswap) swap cases.

Yes, hughd found significant speedup using regular swap, with several
memcgs under pressure; and it should also be effective in the non-memcg
case, whenever one or another zone LRU is forced too small.

52383431b3 mm: get rid of __GFP_KMEMCG
Currently to allocate a page that should be charged to kmemcg (e.g.
threadinfo), we pass __GFP_KMEMCG flag to the page allocator.  The page
allocated is then to be freed by free_memcg_kmem_pages.  Apart from
looking asymmetrical, this also requires intrusion to the general
allocation path.  So let's introduce separate functions that will
alloc/free pages charged to kmemcg.

The new functions are called alloc_kmem_pages and free_kmem_pages.  They
should be used when the caller actually would like to use kmalloc, but
has to fall back to the page allocator for the allocation is large.
They only differ from alloc_pages and free_pages in that besides
allocating or freeing pages they also charge them to the kmem resource
counter of the current memory cgroup.

5dfb417509 sl[au]b: charge slabs to kmemcg explicitly
We have only a few places where we actually want to charge kmem so
instead of intruding into the general page allocation path with
__GFP_KMEMCG it's better to explictly charge kmem there.  All kmem
charges will be easier to follow that way.

This is a step towards removing __GFP_KMEMCG.  It removes __GFP_KMEMCG
from memcg caches' allocflags.  Instead it makes slab allocation path
call memcg_charge_kmem directly getting memcg to charge from the cache's
memcg params.

This also eliminates any possibility of misaccounting an allocation
going from one memcg's cache to another memcg, because now we always
charge slabs against the memcg the cache belongs to.  That's why this
patch removes the big comment to memcg_kmem_get_cache.

8eae149267 mm: slub: fix ALLOC_SLOWPATH stat
There used to be only one path out of __slab_alloc(), and ALLOC_SLOWPATH
got bumped in that exit path.  Now there are two, and a bunch of gotos.
ALLOC_SLOWPATH can now get set more than once during a single call to
__slab_alloc() which is pretty bogus.  Here's the sequence:

1. Enter __slab_alloc(), fall through all the way to the
   stat(s, ALLOC_SLOWPATH);
2. hit 'if (!freelist)', and bump DEACTIVATE_BYPASS, jump to
   new_slab (goto #1)
3. Hit 'if (c->partial)', bump CPU_PARTIAL_ALLOC, goto redo
   (goto #2)
4. Fall through in the same path we did before all the way to
   stat(s, ALLOC_SLOWPATH)
5. bump ALLOC_REFILL stat, then return

Doing this is obviously bogus.  It keeps us from being able to
accurately compare ALLOC_SLOWPATH vs.  ALLOC_FASTPATH.  It also means
that the total number of allocs always exceeds the total number of
frees.

This patch moves stat(s, ALLOC_SLOWPATH) to be called from the same
place that __slab_alloc() is.  This makes it much less likely that
ALLOC_SLOWPATH will get botched again in the spaghetti-code inside
__slab_alloc().

9a02d69993 mm, slab: suppress out of memory warning unless debug is enabled
When the slab or slub allocators cannot allocate additional slab pages,
they emit diagnostic information to the kernel log such as current
number of slabs, number of objects, active objects, etc.  This is always
coupled with a page allocation failure warning since it is controlled by
!__GFP_NOWARN.

Suppress this out of memory warning if the allocator is configured
without debug supported.  The page allocation failure warning will
indicate it is a failed slab allocation, the order, and the gfp mask, so
this is only useful to diagnose allocator issues.

Since CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is already enabled by default for the slub
allocator, there is no functional change with this patch.  If debug is
disabled, however, the warnings are now suppressed.

c46a7c817e x86: define _PAGE_NUMA by reusing software bits on the PMD and PTE levels
_PAGE_NUMA is currently an alias of _PROT_PROTNONE to trap NUMA hinting
faults on x86.  Care is taken such that _PAGE_NUMA is used only in
situations where the VMA flags distinguish between NUMA hinting faults
and prot_none faults.  This decision was x86-specific and conceptually
it is difficult requiring special casing to distinguish between PROTNONE
and NUMA ptes based on context.

Fundamentally, we only need the _PAGE_NUMA bit to tell the difference
between an entry that is really unmapped and a page that is protected
for NUMA hinting faults as if the PTE is not present then a fault will
be trapped.

Swap PTEs on x86-64 use the bits after _PAGE_GLOBAL for the offset.
This patch shrinks the maximum possible swap size and uses the bit to
uniquely distinguish between NUMA hinting ptes and swap ptes.

c177c81e09 hugetlb: restrict hugepage_migration_support() to x86_64
Currently hugepage migration is available for all archs which support
pmd-level hugepage, but testing is done only for x86_64 and there're
bugs for other archs.  So to avoid breaking such archs, this patch
limits the availability strictly to x86_64 until developers of other
archs get interested in enabling this feature.

Simply disabling hugepage migration on non-x86_64 archs is not enough to
fix the reported problem where sys_move_pages() hits the BUG_ON() in
follow_page(FOLL_GET), so let's fix this by checking if hugepage
migration is supported in vma_migratable().

__might_sleep < down_write < __put_anon_vma < page_get_anon_vma <

Right, since conversion to mutex then rwsem, we should not put_anon_vma()

And add might_sleep() to anon_vma_free(), as suggested by Peter Zijlstra.

Pull block core updates from Jens Axboe:
 "It's a big(ish) round this time, lots of development effort has gone
  into blk-mq in the last 3 months.  Generally we're heading to where
  3.16 will be a feature complete and performant blk-mq.  scsi-mq is
  progressing nicely and will hopefully be in 3.17.  A nvme port is in
  progress, and the Micron pci-e flash driver, mtip32xx, is converted
  and will be sent in with the driver pull request for 3.16.

  This pull request contains:

   - Lots of prep and support patches for scsi-mq have been integrated.
     All from Christoph.

   - API and code cleanups for blk-mq from Christoph.

   - Lots of good corner case and error handling cleanup fixes for
     blk-mq from Ming Lei.

   - A flew of blk-mq updates from me:

     * Provide strict mappings so that the driver can rely on the CPU
       to queue mapping.  This enables optimizations in the driver.

     * Provided a bitmap tagging instead of percpu_ida, which never
       really worked well for blk-mq.  percpu_ida relies on the fact
       that we have a lot more tags available than we really need, it
       fails miserably for cases where we exhaust (or are close to
       exhausting) the tag space.

     * Provide sane support for shared tag maps, as utilized by scsi-mq

     * Various fixes for IO timeouts.

     * API cleanups, and lots of perf tweaks and optimizations.

   - Remove 'buffer' from struct request.  This is ancient code, from
     when requests were always virtually mapped.  Kill it, to reclaim
     some space in struct request.  From me.

   - Remove 'magic' from blk_plug.  Since we store these on the stack
     and since we've never caught any actual bugs with this, lets just
     get rid of it.  From me.

   - Only call part_in_flight() once for IO completion, as includes two
     atomic reads.  Hopefully we'll get a better implementation soon, as
     the part IO stats are now one of the more expensive parts of doing
     IO on blk-mq.  From me.

   - File migration of block code from {mm,fs}/ to block/.  This
     includes bio.c, bio-integrity.c, bounce.c, and ioprio.c.  From me,
     from a discussion on lkml.

  That should describe the meat of the pull request.  Also has various
  little fixes and cleanups from Dave Jones, Shaohua Li, Duan Jiong,
  Fengguang Wu, Fabian Frederick, Randy Dunlap, Robert Elliott, and Sam
  Bradshaw"

3e030ecc0f mm/memory-failure.c: fix memory leak by race between poison and unpoison
When a memory error happens on an in-use page or (free and in-use)
hugepage, the victim page is isolated with its refcount set to one.

When you try to unpoison it later, unpoison_memory() calls put_page()
for it twice in order to bring the page back to free page pool (buddy or
free hugepage list).  However, if another memory error occurs on the
page which we are unpoisoning, memory_failure() returns without
releasing the refcount which was incremented in the same call at first,
which results in memory leak and unconsistent num_poisoned_pages
statistics.  This patch fixes it.

6f6acb0051 memcg: fix swapcache charge from kernel thread context
Commit 284f39afea ("mm: memcg: push !mm handling out to page cache
charge function") explicitly checks for page cache charges without any
mm context (from kernel thread context[1]).

This seemed to be the only possible case where memory could be charged
without mm context so commit 03583f1a63 ("memcg: remove unnecessary
!mm check from try_get_mem_cgroup_from_mm()") removed the mm check from
get_mem_cgroup_from_mm().  This however caused another NULL ptr
dereference during early boot when loopback kernel thread splices to
tmpfs as reported by Stephan Kulow:

This patch fixes the issue by reintroducing mm check into
get_mem_cgroup_from_mm.  We could do the same trick in
__mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin as we do for the regular page cache path
but it is not worth troubles.  The check is not that expensive and it is

55231e5c89 mm: madvise: fix MADV_WILLNEED on shmem swapouts
MADV_WILLNEED currently does not read swapped out shmem pages back in.

Commit 0cd6144aad ("mm + fs: prepare for non-page entries in page
cache radix trees") made find_get_page() filter exceptional radix tree
entries but failed to convert all find_get_page() callers that WANT
exceptional entries over to find_get_entry().  One of them is shmem swap
readahead in madvise, which now skips over any swap-out records.

Convert it to find_get_entry().

7fcbbaf183 mm/filemap.c: avoid always dirtying mapping->flags on O_DIRECT
In some testing I ran today (some fio jobs that spread over two nodes),
we end up spending 40% of the time in filemap_check_errors().  That
smells fishy.  Looking further, this is basically what happens:

blkdev_aio_read()
    generic_file_aio_read()
        filemap_write_and_wait_range()
            if (!mapping->nr_pages)
                filemap_check_errors()

and filemap_check_errors() always attempts two test_and_clear_bit() on
the mapping flags, thus dirtying it for every single invocation.  The
patch below tests each of these bits before clearing them, avoiding this
issue.  In my test case (4-socket box), performance went from 1.7M IOPS
to 4.0M IOPS.

a62c34bd2a x86, mm: Improve _install_special_mapping and fix x86 vdso naming
Using arch_vma_name to give special mappings a name is awkward.  x86
currently implements it by comparing the start address of the vma to
the expected address of the vdso.  This requires tracking the start
address of special mappings and is probably buggy if a special vma
is split or moved.

Improve _install_special_mapping to just name the vma directly.  Use
it to give the x86 vvar area a name, which should make CRIU's life
easier.

As a side effect, the vvar area will show up in core dumps.  This
could be considered weird and is fixable.

[hpa: I say we accept this as-is but be prepared to deal with knocking
 out the vvars from core dumps if this becomes a problem.]

The __next_free_mem_range and __next_free_mem_range_rev functions

__next_mem_range and __next_mem_range_rev.

To walk an arbitrary memory list two new macros for_each_mem_range

ea280e7b40 memcg: update memcg_has_children() to use css_next_child()
Currently, memcg_has_children() and mem_cgroup_hierarchy_write()
directly test cgroup->children for list emptiness.  It's semantically
correct in traditional hierarchies as it actually wants to test for
any children dead or alive; however, cgroup->children is not a
published field and scheduled to go away.

This patch moves out .use_hierarchy test out of memcg_has_children()
and updates it to use css_next_child() to test whether there exists
any children.  With .use_hierarchy test moved out, it can also be used
by mem_cgroup_hierarchy_write().

A side note: As .use_hierarchy is going away, it doesn't really matter
but I'm not sure about how it's used in __memcg_activate_kmem().  The
condition tested by memcg_has_children() is mushy when seen from
userland as its result is affected by dead csses which aren't visible
from userland.  I think the rule would be a lot clearer if we have a
dedicated "freshly minted" flag which gets cleared when the first task
is migrated into it or the first child is created and then gate
activation with that.

v2: Added comment noting that testing use_hierarchy is the
    responsibility of the callers of memcg_has_children() as suggested
    by Michal Hocko.

f61c42a7d9 memcg: remove tasks/children test from mem_cgroup_force_empty()
Tejun has correctly pointed out that tasks/children test in
mem_cgroup_force_empty is not correct because there is no other locking
which preserves this state throughout the rest of the function so both
new tasks can join the group or new children groups can be added while
somebody is writing to memory.force_empty. A new task would break
mem_cgroup_reparent_charges expectation that all failures as described
by mem_cgroup_force_empty_list are temporal and there is no way out.

The main use case for the knob as described by
Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt is to:
"
  The typical use case for this interface is before calling rmdir().
  Because rmdir() moves all pages to parent, some out-of-use page caches can be
  moved to the parent. If you want to avoid that, force_empty will be useful.
"

This means that reparenting is not really required as rmdir will
reparent pages implicitly from the safe context. If we remove it from
mem_cgroup_force_empty then we are safe even with existing tasks because
the number of reclaim attempts is bounded. Moreover the knob still does
what the documentation claims (modulo reparenting which doesn't make any
difference) and users might expect. Longterm we want to deprecate the
whole knob and put the reparented pages to the tail of parent LRU during
cgroup removal.

042d27acb6 parisc,metag: Do not hardcode maximum userspace stack size
This patch affects only architectures where the stack grows upwards
(currently parisc and metag only). On those do not hardcode the maximum
initial stack size to 1GB for 32-bit processes, but make it configurable
via a config option.

The main problem with the hardcoded stack size is, that we have two
memory regions which grow upwards: stack and heap. To keep most of the
memory available for heap in a flexmap memory layout, it makes no sense
to hard allocate up to 1GB of the memory for stack which can't be used
as heap then.

This patch makes the stack size for 32-bit processes configurable and
uses 80MB as default value which has been in use during the last few
years on parisc and which hasn't showed any problems yet.

Convert all cftype->write_string() users to the new cftype->write()

* @css and @cft are accessed using of_css() and of_cft() accessors
  respectively instead of being specified as arguments.

* Should return @nbytes on success instead of 0.

* @buf is not trimmed automatically.  Trim if necessary.  Note that
  blkcg and netprio don't need this as the parsers already handle
  whitespaces.

cftype->write_string() has no user left after the conversions and
removed.

ec903c0c85 cgroup: rename css_tryget*() to css_tryget_online*()
Unlike the more usual refcnting, what css_tryget() provides is the
distinction between online and offline csses instead of protection
against upping a refcnt which already reached zero.  cgroup is
planning to provide actual tryget which fails if the refcnt already
reached zero.  Let's rename the existing trygets so that they clearly
indicate that they're onliness.

I thought about keeping the existing names as-are and introducing new
names for the planned actual tryget; however, given that each
controller participates in the synchronization of the online state, it
seems worthwhile to make it explicit that these functions are about
on/offline state.

Rename css_tryget() to css_tryget_online() and css_tryget_from_dir()
to css_tryget_online_from_dir().  This is pure rename.

v2: cgroup_freezer grew new usages of css_tryget().  Update
    accordingly.

1c8349a171 ext4: fix data integrity sync in ordered mode
When we perform a data integrity sync we tag all the dirty pages with
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE at start of ext4_da_writepages.  Later we check
for this tag in write_cache_pages_da and creates a struct
mpage_da_data containing contiguously indexed pages tagged with this
tag and sync these pages with a call to mpage_da_map_and_submit.  This
process is done in while loop until all the PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE
pages are synced. We also do journal start and stop in each iteration.
journal_stop could initiate journal commit which would call
ext4_writepage which in turn will call ext4_bio_write_page even for
delayed OR unwritten buffers. When ext4_bio_write_page is called for
such buffers, even though it does not sync them but it clears the
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE of the corresponding page and hence these pages
are also not synced by the currently running data integrity sync. We
will end up with dirty pages although sync is completed.

This could cause a potential data loss when the sync call is followed
by a truncate_pagecache call, which is exactly the case in
collapse_range.  (It will cause generic/127 failure in xfstests)

To avoid this issue, we can use set_page_writeback_keepwrite instead of
set_page_writeback, which doesn't clear TOWRITE tag.

dd18dbc2d4 mm, thp: close race between mremap() and split_huge_page()
It's critical for split_huge_page() (and migration) to catch and freeze
all PMDs on rmap walk.  It gets tricky if there's concurrent fork() or
mremap() since usually we copy/move page table entries on dup_mm() or
move_page_tables() without rmap lock taken.  To get it work we rely on
rmap walk order to not miss any entry.  We expect to see destination VMA
after source one to work correctly.

But after switching rmap implementation to interval tree it's not always
possible to preserve expected walk order.

It works fine for dup_mm() since new VMA has the same vma_start_pgoff()
/ vma_last_pgoff() and explicitly insert dst VMA after src one with
vma_interval_tree_insert_after().

But on move_vma() destination VMA can be merged into adjacent one and as
result shifted left in interval tree.  Fortunately, we can detect the
situation and prevent race with rmap walk by moving page table entries
under rmap lock.  See commit 38a76013ad.

Problem is that we miss the lock when we move transhuge PMD.  Most
likely this bug caused the crash[1].

3551a9280b mm: postpone the disabling of kmemleak early logging
Commit 8910ae896c ("kmemleak: change some global variables to int"),
in addition to the atomic -> int conversion, moved the disabling of
kmemleak_early_log to the beginning of the kmemleak_init() function,
before the full kmemleak tracing is actually enabled.  In this small
window, kmem_cache_create() is called by kmemleak which triggers
additional memory allocation that are not traced.  This patch restores
the original logic with kmemleak_early_log disabling when kmemleak is
fully functional.

Fixes: 8910ae896c (kmemleak: change some global variables to int)

107437febd mm/numa: Remove BUG_ON() in __handle_mm_fault()
Changing PTEs and PMDs to pte_numa & pmd_numa is done with the
mmap_sem held for reading, which means a pmd can be instantiated
and turned into a numa one while __handle_mm_fault() is examining
the value of old_pmd.

If that happens, __handle_mm_fault() should just return and let
the page fault retry, instead of throwing an oops. This is
handled by the test for pmd_trans_huge(*pmd) below.

62a8067a7f bio_vec-backed iov_iter
New variant of iov_iter - ITER_BVEC in iter->type, backed with
bio_vec array instead of iovec one.  Primitives taught to deal
with such beasts, __swap_write() switched to using that kind
of iov_iter.

Note that bio_vec is just a <page, offset, length> triple - there's
nothing block-specific about it.  I've left the definition where it
was, but took it from under ifdef CONFIG_BLOCK.

Next target: ->splice_write()...

623762517e revert "mm: vmscan: do not swap anon pages just because free+file is low"
This reverts commit 0bf1457f0c ("mm: vmscan: do not swap anon pages
just because free+file is low") because it introduced a regression in
mostly-anonymous workloads, where reclaim would become ineffective and
trap every allocating task in direct reclaim.

The problem is that there is a runaway feedback loop in the scan balance
between file and anon, where the balance tips heavily towards a tiny
thrashing file LRU and anonymous pages are no longer being looked at.
The commit in question removed the safe guard that would detect such
situations and respond with forced anonymous reclaim.

This commit was part of a series to fix premature swapping in loads with
relatively little cache, and while it made a small difference, the cure
is obviously worse than the disease.  Revert it.

139b6a6fb1 mm: filemap: update find_get_pages_tag() to deal with shadow entries

  1347                         BUG();

After commit 0cd6144aad ("mm + fs: prepare for non-page entries in
page cache radix trees") this comment and BUG() are out of date because
exceptional entries can now appear in all mappings - as shadows of
recently evicted pages.

However, as Hugh Dickins notes,

  "it is truly surprising for a PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK (and probably
   any other PAGECACHE_TAG_*) to appear on an exceptional entry.

   I expect it comes down to an occasional race in RCU lookup of the
   radix_tree: lacking absolute synchronization, we might sometimes
   catch an exceptional entry, with the tag which really belongs with
   the unexceptional entry which was there an instant before."

And indeed, not only is the tree walk lockless, the tags are also read
in chunks, one radix tree node at a time.  There is plenty of time for
page reclaim to swoop in and replace a page that was already looked up
as tagged with a shadow entry.

Remove the BUG() and update the comment.  While reviewing all other
lookup sites for whether they properly deal with shadow entries of
evicted pages, update all the comments and fix memcg file charge moving
to not miss shmem/tmpfs swapcache pages.

49e068f0b7 mm/compaction: make isolate_freepages start at pageblock boundary
The compaction freepage scanner implementation in isolate_freepages()
starts by taking the current cc->free_pfn value as the first pfn.  In a
for loop, it scans from this first pfn to the end of the pageblock, and
then subtracts pageblock_nr_pages from the first pfn to obtain the first
pfn for the next for loop iteration.

This means that when cc->free_pfn starts at offset X rather than being
aligned on pageblock boundary, the scanner will start at offset X in all
scanned pageblock, ignoring potentially many free pages.  Currently this
can happen when

 a) zone's end pfn is not pageblock aligned, or

 b) through zone->compact_cached_free_pfn with CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE
    enabled and a hole spanning the beginning of a pageblock

This patch fixes the problem by aligning the initial pfn in
isolate_freepages() to pageblock boundary.  This also permits replacing
the end-of-pageblock alignment within the for loop with a simple
pageblock_nr_pages increment.

It is possible for "limit - setpoint + 1" to equal zero, after getting
truncated to a 32 bit variable, and resulting in a divide by zero error.

Using the fully 64 bit divide functions avoids this problem.  It also
will cause pos_ratio_polynom() to return the correct value when
(setpoint - limit) exceeds 2^32.

Also uninline pos_ratio_polynom, at Andrew's request.

hugetlb_init().  Extract the check to a helper function, and use it in a
few relevant places.

This does make hugetlbfs not supported (not registered at all) in this
environment.  I believe this is fine, as there are no valid hugepages
and that won't change at runtime.

93030d83b9 slub: fix memcg_propagate_slab_attrs
After creating a cache for a memcg we should initialize its sysfs attrs
with the values from its parent.  That's what memcg_propagate_slab_attrs
is for.  Currently it's broken - we clearly muddled root-vs-memcg caches
there.  Let's fix it up.

30321c7b65 slab: Fix off by one in object max number tests.
If freelist_idx_t is a byte, SLAB_OBJ_MAX_NUM should be 255 not 256, and
likewise if freelist_idx_t is a short, then it should be 65535 not
65536.

This was leading to all kinds of random crashes on sparc64 where
PAGE_SIZE is 8192.  One problem shown was that if spinlock debugging was
enabled, we'd get deadlocks in copy_pte_range() or do_wp_page() with the
same cpu already holding a lock it shouldn't hold, or the lock belonging
to a completely unrelated process.

7cc68973c3 slab: fix the type of the index on freelist index accessor
Commit a41adfaa23 ("slab: introduce byte sized index for the freelist
of a slab") changes the size of freelist index and also changes
prototype of accessor function to freelist index.  And there was a
mistake.

The mistake is that although it changes the size of freelist index
correctly, it changes the size of the index of freelist index
incorrectly.  With patch, freelist index can be 1 byte or 2 bytes, that
means that num of object on on a slab can be more than 255.  So we need
more than 1 byte for the index to find the index of free object on
freelist.  But, above patch makes this index type 1 byte, so slab which
have more than 255 objects cannot work properly and in consequence of
it, the system cannot boot.

This issue was reported by Steven King on m68knommu which would use
2 bytes freelist index:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/16/433

To fix is easy.  To change the type of the index of freelist index on
accessor functions is enough to fix this bug.  Although 2 bytes is
enough, I use 4 bytes since it have no bad effect and make things more
easier.  This fix was suggested and tested by Steven in his original
report.

15a4c835e4 cgroup, memcg: implement css->id and convert css_from_id() to use it
Until now, cgroup->id has been used to identify all the associated
csses and css_from_id() takes cgroup ID and returns the matching css
by looking up the cgroup and then dereferencing the css associated
with it; however, now that the lifetimes of cgroup and css are
separate, this is incorrect and breaks on the unified hierarchy when a
controller is disabled and enabled back again before the previous
instance is released.

This patch adds css->id which is a subsystem-unique ID and converts
css_from_id() to look up by the new css->id instead.  memcg is the
only user of css_from_id() and also converted to use css->id instead.

For traditional hierarchies, this shouldn't make any functional
difference.

7d699ddb2b cgroup, memcg: allocate cgroup ID from 1
Currently, cgroup->id is allocated from 0, which is always assigned to
the root cgroup; unfortunately, memcg wants to use ID 0 to indicate
invalid IDs and ends up incrementing all IDs by one.

It's reasonable to reserve 0 for special purposes.  This patch updates
cgroup core so that ID 0 is not used and the root cgroups get ID 1.
The ID incrementing is removed form memcg.

50f5aa8a9b mm: don't pointlessly use BUG_ON() for sanity check
BUG_ON() is a big hammer, and should be used _only_ if there is some
major corruption that you cannot possibly recover from, making it
imperative that the current process (and possibly the whole machine) be
terminated with extreme prejudice.

The trivial sanity check in the vmacache code is *not* such a fatal
error.  Recovering from it is absolutely trivial, and using BUG_ON()
just makes it harder to debug for no actual advantage.

To make matters worse, the placement of the BUG_ON() (only if the range
check matched) actually makes it harder to hit the sanity check to begin
with, so _if_ there is a bug (and we just got a report from Srivatsa
Bhat that this can indeed trigger), it is harder to debug not just
because the machine is possibly dead, but because we don't have better
coverage.

BUG_ON() must *die*.  Maybe we should add a checkpatch warning for it,
because it is simply just about the worst thing you can ever do if you
hit some "this cannot happen" situation.

1cf35d4771 mm: split 'tlb_flush_mmu()' into tlb flushing and memory freeing parts
The mmu-gather operation 'tlb_flush_mmu()' has done two things: the
actual tlb flush operation, and the batched freeing of the pages that
the TLB entries pointed at.

This splits the operation into separate phases, so that the forced
batched flushing done by zap_pte_range() can now do the actual TLB flush
while still holding the page table lock, but delay the batched freeing
of all the pages to after the lock has been dropped.

This in turn allows us to avoid a race condition between
set_page_dirty() (as called by zap_pte_range() when it finds a dirty
shared memory pte) and page_mkclean(): because we now flush all the
dirty page data from the TLB's while holding the pte lock,
page_mkclean() will be held up walking the (recently cleaned) page
tables until after the TLB entries have been flushed from all CPU's.

1b17844b29 mm: make fixup_user_fault() check the vma access rights too
fixup_user_fault() is used by the futex code when the direct user access
fails, and the futex code wants it to either map in the page in a usable
form or return an error.  It relied on handle_mm_fault() to map the
page, and correctly checked the error return from that, but while that
does map the page, it doesn't actually guarantee that the page will be
mapped with sufficient permissions to be then accessed.

So do the appropriate tests of the vma access rights by hand.

[ Side note: arguably handle_mm_fault() could just do that itself, but
  we have traditionally done it in the caller, because some callers -
  notably get_user_pages() - have been able to access pages even when
  they are mapped with PROT_NONE.  Maybe we should re-visit that design
  decision, but in the meantime this is the minimal patch. ]

b5a8cad376 thp: close race between split and zap huge pages
Sasha Levin has reported two THP BUGs[1][2].  I believe both of them
have the same root cause.  Let's look to them one by one.

The first bug[1] is "kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1829!".  It's
BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page)) in __split_huge_page().  From my
testing I see that page_mapcount() is higher than mapcount here.

I think it happens due to race between zap_huge_pmd() and
page_check_address_pmd().  page_check_address_pmd() misses PMD which is
under zap:

	CPU0						CPU1
						zap_huge_pmd()
						  pmdp_get_and_clear()
__split_huge_page()
  anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach()
    __split_huge_page_splitting()
      page_check_address_pmd()
        mm_find_pmd()
	  /*
	   * We check if PMD present without taking ptl: no
	   * serialization against zap_huge_pmd(). We miss this PMD,
	   * it's not accounted to 'mapcount' in __split_huge_page().
	   */
	  pmd_present(pmd) == 0

  BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page)) // CRASH!!!

						  page_remove_rmap(page)
						    atomic_add_negative(-1, &page->_mapcount)

The second bug[2] is "kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1371!".
It's VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHead(page), page) in zap_huge_pmd().

This happens in similar way:

	CPU0						CPU1
						zap_huge_pmd()
						  pmdp_get_and_clear()
						  page_remove_rmap(page)
						    atomic_add_negative(-1, &page->_mapcount)
__split_huge_page()
  anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach()
    __split_huge_page_splitting()
      page_check_address_pmd()
        mm_find_pmd()
	  pmd_present(pmd) == 0	/* The same comment as above */
  /*
   * No crash this time since we already decremented page->_mapcount in
   * zap_huge_pmd().
   */
  BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page))

  /*
   * We split the compound page here into small pages without
   * serialization against zap_huge_pmd()
   */
  __split_huge_page_refcount()
						VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHead(page), page); // CRASH!!!

So my understanding the problem is pmd_present() check in mm_find_pmd()
without taking page table lock.

The bug was introduced by me commit with commit 117b0791ac. Sorry for
that. :(

Let's open code mm_find_pmd() in page_check_address_pmd() and do the
check under page table lock.

Note that __page_check_address() does the same for PTE entires
if sync != 0.

I've stress tested split and zap code paths for 36+ hours by now and
don't see crashes with the patch applied. Before it took <20 min to
trigger the first bug and few hours for second one (if we ignore
first).

a786c06d9f missing bits of "splice: fix racy pipe->buffers uses"
that commit has fixed only the parts of that mess in fs/splice.c itself;
there had been more in several other ->splice_read() instances...

34bf6ef94a mm: slab/slub: use page->list consistently instead of page->lru
'struct page' has two list_head fields: 'lru' and 'list'.  Conveniently,
they are unioned together.  This means that code can use them
interchangably, which gets horribly confusing like with this nugget from
slab.c:

>	list_del(&page->lru);
>	if (page->active == cachep->num)
>		list_add(&page->list, &n->slabs_full);

This patch makes the slab and slub code use page->lru universally instead
of mixing ->list and ->lru.

So, the new rule is: page->lru is what the you use if you want to keep
your page on a list.  Don't like the fact that it's not called ->list?
Too bad.

0bf1457f0c mm: vmscan: do not swap anon pages just because free+file is low
Page reclaim force-scans / swaps anonymous pages when file cache drops
below the high watermark of a zone in order to prevent what little cache
remains from thrashing.

However, on bigger machines the high watermark value can be quite large
and when the workload is dominated by a static anonymous/shmem set, the
file set might just be a small window of used-once cache.  In such
situations, the VM starts swapping heavily when instead it should be
recycling the no longer used cache.

This is a longer-standing problem, but it's more likely to trigger after
commit 81c0a2bb51 ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy")
because file pages can no longer accumulate in a single zone and are
dispersed into smaller fractions among the available zones.

To resolve this, do not force scan anon when file pages are low but
instead rely on the scan/rotation ratios to make the right prediction.
