121d1ba0a0 mm, oom: fix potential killing of thread that is disabled from oom killing
/proc/sys/vm/oom_kill_allocating_task will immediately kill current when
the oom killer is called to avoid a potentially expensive tasklist scan
for large systems.

Currently, however, it is not checking current's oom_score_adj value which
may be OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN, meaning that it has been disabled from oom
killing.

This patch avoids killing current in such a condition and simply falls
back to the tasklist scan since memory still needs to be freed.

3d3727cdb0 mm, fadvise: don't return -EINVAL when filesystem cannot implement fadvise()
Eric Wong reported his test suite failex when /tmp is tmpfs.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/24/479

Currentlt the input check of POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED has two problems.

- requires a_ops->readpage.  But in fact, force_page_cache_readahead()
  requires that the target filesystem has either ->readpage or ->readpages.

- returns -EINVAL when the filesystem doesn't have ->readpage.  But
  posix says that fadvise is merely a hint.  Thus fadvise() should return
  0 if filesystem has no means of implementing fadvise().  The userland
  application should not know nor care whcih type of filesystem backs the
  TMPDIR directory, as Eric pointed out.  There is nothing which userspace
  can do to solve this error.

So change the return value to 0 when filesytem doesn't support readahead.

4f774b912d mm, oom: do not schedule if current has been killed
The oom killer currently schedules away from current in an uninterruptible
sleep if it does not have access to memory reserves.  It's possible that
current was killed because it shares memory with the oom killed thread or
because it was killed by the user in the interim, however.

This patch only schedules away from current if it does not have a pending
kill, i.e.  if it does not share memory with the oom killed thread.  It's
possible that it will immediately retry its memory allocation and fail,
but it will immediately be given access to memory reserves if it calls the
oom killer again.

This prevents the delay of memory freeing when threads that share memory
with the oom killed thread get unnecessarily scheduled.

47d38344ab hugetlb: rename max_hstate to hugetlb_max_hstate
This patchset implements a cgroup resource controller for HugeTLB pages.
The controller allows to limit the HugeTLB usage per control group and
enforces the controller limit during page fault.  Since HugeTLB doesn't
support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies that,
the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access HugeTLB pages
beyond its limit.  This requires the application to know beforehand how
much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use.

The goal is to control how many HugeTLB pages a group of task can
allocate.  It can be looked at as an extension of the existing quota
interface which limits the number of HugeTLB pages per hugetlbfs
superblock.  HPC job scheduler requires jobs to specify their resource
requirements in the job file.  Once their requirements can be met, job
schedulers like (SLURM) will schedule the job.  We need to make sure that
the jobs won't consume more resources than requested.  If they do we
should either error out or kill the application.

This patch:

Rename max_hstate to hugetlb_max_hstate.  We will be using this from other
subsystems like hugetlb controller in later patches.

On older kernels the old per device plugging behavior might have captured
this and merged the requests, but currently all comes down to much more
I/Os than required.

On a single device this might not be an issue, but as soon as a server
runs on shared san resources savin I/Os not only improves swapin
throughput but also provides a lower resource utilization.

With a load running KVM in a lot of memory overcommitment (the hot memory
is 1.5 times the host memory) swapping throughput improves significantly
and the lead feels more responsive as well as achieves more throughput.

In a test setup with 16 swap disks running blocktrace on one of those disks
shows the improved merging:

I got ~10% to ~40% more throughput in my cases and at the same time much
lower cpu consumption when broken down per transferred kilobyte (the
majority of that due to saved interrupts and better cache handling).  In a
shared SAN others might get an additional benefit as well, because this
now causes less protocol overhead.

aa91c4d898 mm: make vb_alloc() more foolproof
If someone calls vb_alloc() (or vm_map_ram() for that matter) to allocate
0 bytes (0 pages), get_order() returns BITS_PER_LONG - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT
and interesting stuff happens.  So make debugging such problems easier and
warn about 0-size allocation.

92ca922f0a vmalloc: walk vmap_areas by sorted list instead of rb_next()
There's a walk by repeating rb_next to find a suitable hole.  Could be
simply replaced by walk on the sorted vmap_area_list.  More simpler and
efficient.

Mutation of the list and tree only happens in pair within
__insert_vmap_area and __free_vmap_area, under protection of
vmap_area_lock.  The patch code is also under vmap_area_lock, so the list
walk is safe, and consistent with the tree walk.

Tested on SMP by repeating batch of vmalloc anf vfree for random sizes and
rounds for hours.

dc32f63453 mm: fix wrong argument of migrate_huge_pages() in soft_offline_huge_page()
Commit a6bc32b899 ("mm: compaction: introduce sync-light migration for
use by compaction") changed the declaration of migrate_pages() and
migrate_huge_pages().

But it missed changing the argument of migrate_huge_pages() in
soft_offline_huge_page().  In this case, we should call
migrate_huge_pages() with MIGRATE_SYNC.

Additionally, there is a mismatch between type the of argument and the
function declaration for migrate_pages().

e9da6e9905 ARM: dma-mapping: remove custom consistent dma region
This patch changes dma-mapping subsystem to use generic vmalloc areas
for all consistent dma allocations. This increases the total size limit
of the consistent allocations and removes platform hacks and a lot of
duplicated code.

Atomic allocations are served from special pool preallocated on boot,
because vmalloc areas cannot be reliably created in atomic context.

   - the first of two really major architecture changes - death to open
     intents.

     The former is finally there; it was very long in making, but with
     Miklos getting through really hard and messy final push in
     fs/namei.c, we finally have it.  Unlike his variant, this one
     doesn't introduce struct opendata; what we have instead is
     ->atomic_open() taking preallocated struct file * and passing
     everything via its fields.

     Instead of returning struct file *, it returns -E...  on error, 0
     on success and 1 in "deal with it yourself" case (e.g.  symlink
     found on server, etc.).

     See comments before fs/namei.c:atomic_open().  That made a lot of
     goodies finally possible and quite a few are in that pile:
     ->lookup(), ->d_revalidate() and ->create() do not get struct
     nameidata * anymore; ->lookup() and ->d_revalidate() get lookup
     flags instead, ->create() gets "do we want it exclusive" flag.

     With the introduction of new helper (kern_path_locked()) we are rid
     of all struct nameidata instances outside of fs/namei.c; it's still
     visible in namei.h, but not for long.  Come the next cycle,
     declaration will move either to fs/internal.h or to fs/namei.c
     itself.  [me, miklos, hch]

   - The second major change: behaviour of final fput().  Now we have
     __fput() done without any locks held by caller *and* not from deep
     in call stack.

     That obviously lifts a lot of constraints on the locking in there.
     Moreover, it's legal now to call fput() from atomic contexts (which
     has immediately simplified life for aio.c).  We also don't need
     anti-recursion logics in __scm_destroy() anymore.

     There is a price, though - the damn thing has become partially
     asynchronous.  For fput() from normal process we are guaranteed
     that pending __fput() will be done before the caller returns to
     userland, exits or gets stopped for ptrace.

     For kernel threads and atomic contexts it's done via
     schedule_work(), so theoretically we might need a way to make sure
     it's finished; so far only one such place had been found, but there
     might be more.

     There's flush_delayed_fput() (do all pending __fput()) and there's
     __fput_sync() (fput() analog doing __fput() immediately).  I hope
     we won't need them often; see warnings in fs/file_table.c for
     details.  [me, based on task_work series from Oleg merged last
     cycle]

   - sync series from Jan

   - large part of "death to sync_supers()" work from Artem; the only
     bits missing here are exofs and ext4 ones.  As far as I understand,
     those are going via the exofs and ext4 trees resp.; once they are
     in, we can put ->write_super() to the rest, along with the thread
     calling it.

   - preparatory bits from unionmount series (from dhowells).

   - assorted cleanups and fixes all over the place, as usual.

  This is not the last pile for this cycle; there's at least jlayton's
  ESTALE work and fsfreeze series (the latter - in dire need of fixes,
  so I'm not sure it'll make the cut this cycle).  I'll probably throw
  symlink/hardlink restrictions stuff from Kees into the next pile, too.
  Plus there's a lot of misc patches I hadn't thrown into that one -
  it's large enough as it is..."
