cc2559bccc mm: fix memmap init for handling memory hole
Now, early_pfn_in_nid(PFN, NID) may returns false if PFN is a hole.
and memmap initialization was not done. This was a trouble for
sparc boot.

To fix this, the PFN should be initialized and marked as PG_reserved.
This patch changes early_pfn_in_nid() return true if PFN is a hole.

f2dbcfa738 mm: clean up for early_pfn_to_nid()
What's happening is that the assertion in mm/page_alloc.c:move_freepages()
is triggering:

	BUG_ON(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page));

Once I knew this is what was happening, I added some annotations:

	if (unlikely(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page))) {
		printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: Bogus zones: "
		       "start_page[%p] end_page[%p] zone[%p]\n",
		       start_page, end_page, zone);
		printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: "
		       "start_zone[%p] end_zone[%p]\n",
		       page_zone(start_page), page_zone(end_page));
		printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: "
		       "start_pfn[0x%lx] end_pfn[0x%lx]\n",
		       page_to_pfn(start_page), page_to_pfn(end_page));
		printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: "
		       "start_nid[%d] end_nid[%d]\n",
		       page_to_nid(start_page), page_to_nid(end_page));
 ...

And here's what I got:

	move_freepages: Bogus zones: start_page[2207d0000] end_page[2207dffc0] zone[fffff8103effcb00]
	move_freepages: start_zone[fffff8103effcb00] end_zone[fffff8003fffeb00]
	move_freepages: start_pfn[0x81f600] end_pfn[0x81f7ff]
	move_freepages: start_nid[1] end_nid[0]

My memory layout on this box is:

[    0.000000] Zone PFN ranges:
[    0.000000]   Normal   0x00000000 -> 0x0081ff5d
[    0.000000] Movable zone start PFN for each node
[    0.000000] early_node_map[8] active PFN ranges
[    0.000000]     0: 0x00000000 -> 0x00020000
[    0.000000]     1: 0x00800000 -> 0x0081f7ff
[    0.000000]     1: 0x0081f800 -> 0x0081fe50
[    0.000000]     1: 0x0081fed1 -> 0x0081fed8
[    0.000000]     1: 0x0081feda -> 0x0081fedb
[    0.000000]     1: 0x0081fedd -> 0x0081fee5
[    0.000000]     1: 0x0081fee7 -> 0x0081ff51
[    0.000000]     1: 0x0081ff59 -> 0x0081ff5d

So it's a block move in that 0x81f600-->0x81f7ff region which triggers
the problem.

This patch:

Declaration of early_pfn_to_nid() is scattered over per-arch include
files, and it seems it's complicated to know when the declaration is used.
 I think it makes fix-for-memmap-init not easy.

This patch moves all declaration to include/linux/mm.h

After this,
  if !CONFIG_NODES_POPULATES_NODE_MAP && !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID
     -> Use static definition in include/linux/mm.h
  else if !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID
     -> Use generic definition in mm/page_alloc.c
  else
     -> per-arch back end function will be called.

1cf6e7d83b mm: task dirty accounting fix
YAMAMOTO-san noticed that task_dirty_inc doesn't seem to be called properly for
cases where set_page_dirty is not used to dirty a page (eg. mark_buffer_dirty).

Additionally, there is some inconsistency about when task_dirty_inc is
called.  It is used for dirty balancing, however it even gets called for
__set_page_dirty_no_writeback.

So rather than increment it in a set_page_dirty wrapper, move it down to
exactly where the dirty page accounting stats are incremented.

c296861291 vmalloc: add __get_vm_area_caller()
We have get_vm_area_caller() and __get_vm_area() but not
__get_vm_area_caller()

On powerpc, I use __get_vm_area() to separate the ranges of addresses
given to vmalloc vs.  ioremap (various good reasons for that) so in order
to be able to implement the new caller tracking in /proc/vmallocinfo, I
need a "_caller" variant of it.

(akpm: needed for ongoing powerpc development, so merge it early)

3a4c6800f3 Fix page writeback thinko, causing Berkeley DB slowdown
A bug was introduced into write_cache_pages cyclic writeout by commit
31a12666d8 ("mm: write_cache_pages cyclic
fix").  The intention (and comments) is that we should cycle back and
look for more dirty pages at the beginning of the file if there is no
more work to be done.

But the !done condition was dropped from the test.  This means that any
time the page writeout loop breaks (eg.  due to nr_to_write == 0), we
will set index to 0, then goto again.  This will set done_index to
index, then find done is set, so will proceed to the end of the
function.  When updating mapping->writeback_index for cyclic writeout,
we now use done_index == 0, so we're always cycling back to 0.

This seemed to be causing random mmap writes (slapadd and iozone) to
start writing more pages from the LRU and writeout would slowdown, and
caused bugzilla entry

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12604

about Berkeley DB slowing down dramatically.

With this patch, iozone random write performance is increased nearly
5x on my system (iozone -B -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m on ext2).

9480c53e9b mm: rearrange exit_mmap() to unlock before arch_exit_mmap
Christophe Saout reported [in precursor to:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123209902707347&w=4]:

> Note that I also some a different issue with CONFIG_UNEVICTABLE_LRU.
> Seems like Xen tears down current->mm early on process termination, so
> that __get_user_pages in exit_mmap causes nasty messages when the
> process had any mlocked pages.  (in fact, it somehow manages to get into
> the swapping code and produces a null pointer dereference trying to get
> a swap token)

Jeremy explained:

Yes.  In the normal case under Xen, an in-use pagetable is "pinned",
meaning that it is RO to the kernel, and all updates must go via hypercall
(or writes are trapped and emulated, which is much the same thing).  An
unpinned pagetable is not currently in use by any process, and can be
directly accessed as normal RW pages.

As an optimisation at process exit time, we unpin the pagetable as early
as possible (switching the process to init_mm), so that all the normal
pagetable teardown can happen with direct memory accesses.

This happens in exit_mmap() -> arch_exit_mmap().  The munlocking happens
a few lines below.  The obvious thing to do would be to move
arch_exit_mmap() to below the munlock code, but I think we'd want to
call it even if mm->mmap is NULL, just to be on the safe side.

Thus, this patch:

exit_mmap() needs to unlock any locked vmas before calling arch_exit_mmap,
as the latter may switch the current mm to init_mm, which would cause the
former to fail.

page_cgroup's page allocation at init/memory hotplug uses kmalloc() and
vmalloc(). If kmalloc() failes, vmalloc() is used.

This is because vmalloc() is very limited resource on 32bit systems.
We want to use kmalloc() first.

But in this kind of call, __GFP_NOWARN should be specified.

508b9f8efd mm: fix mlocked page counter mismatch
When I tested following program, I found that the mlocked counter
is strange.  It cannot free some mlocked pages.

It is because try_to_unmap_file() doesn't check real
page mappings in vmas.

That is because the goal of an address_space for a file is to find all
processes into which the file's specific interval is mapped.  It is
related to the file's interval, not to pages.

Even if the page isn't really mapped by the vma, it returns SWAP_MLOCK
since the vma has VM_LOCKED, then calls try_to_mlock_page.  After this the
mlocked counter is increased again.

COWed anon page in a file-backed vma could be a such case.  This patch
resolves it.

-- my test program --

int main()
{
       mlockall(MCL_CURRENT);
       return 0;
}

-- before --

17c9d12e12 Do not account for hugetlbfs quota at mmap() time if mapping [SHM|MAP]_NORESERVE
Commit 5a6fe12595 brought hugetlbfs more
in line with the core VM by obeying VM_NORESERVE and not reserving
hugepages for both shared and private mappings when [SHM|MAP]_NORESERVE
are specified.  However, it is still taking filesystem quota
unconditionally.

At fault time, if there are no reserves and attempt is made to allocate
the page and account for filesystem quota.  If either fail, the fault
fails.  The impact is that quota is getting accounted for twice.  This
patch partially reverts 5a6fe12595.  To
help prevent this mistake happening again, it improves the documentation
of hugetlb_reserve_pages()

Change the ptrace_detach() path to only do the memory accounting in

which will be called from __ptrace_unlink().

5a6fe12595 Do not account for the address space used by hugetlbfs using VM_ACCOUNT
When overcommit is disabled, the core VM accounts for pages used by anonymous
shared, private mappings and special mappings. It keeps track of VMAs that
should be accounted for with VM_ACCOUNT and VMAs that never had a reserve
with VM_NORESERVE.

Overcommit for hugetlbfs is much riskier than overcommit for base pages
due to contiguity requirements. It avoids overcommiting on both shared and
private mappings using reservation counters that are checked and updated
during mmap(). This ensures (within limits) that hugepages exist in the
future when faults occurs or it is too easy to applications to be SIGKILLed.

As hugetlbfs makes its own reservations of a different unit to the base page
size, VM_ACCOUNT should never be set. Even if the units were correct, we would
double account for the usage in the core VM and hugetlbfs. VM_NORESERVE may
be set because an application can request no reserves be made for hugetlbfs
at the risk of getting killed later.

With commit fc8744adc8, VM_NORESERVE and
VM_ACCOUNT are getting unconditionally set for hugetlbfs-backed mappings. This
breaks the accounting for both the core VM and hugetlbfs, can trigger an
OOM storm when hugepage pools are too small lockups and corrupted counters
otherwise are used. This patch brings hugetlbfs more in line with how the
core VM treats VM_NORESERVE but prevents VM_ACCOUNT being set.

ab92661d5d do_wp_page: fix regression with execute in place
Fix do_wp_page for VM_MIXEDMAP mappings.

In the case where pfn_valid returns 0 for a pfn at the beginning of
do_wp_page and the mapping is not shared writable, the code branches to
label `gotten:' with old_page == NULL.

In case the vma is locked (vma->vm_flags & VM_LOCKED), lock_page,
clear_page_mlock, and unlock_page try to access the old_page.

This patch checks whether old_page is valid before it is dereferenced.

The regression was introduced by "mlock: mlocked pages are unevictable"
(commit b291f00039).

Commit 05fe478dd0 introduced some
@wbc->nr_to_write breakage.

It made the following changes:
 1. Decrement wbc->nr_to_write instead of nr_to_write
 2. Decrement wbc->nr_to_write _only_ if wbc->sync_mode == WB_SYNC_NONE
 3. If synced nr_to_write pages, stop only if if wbc->sync_mode ==
    WB_SYNC_NONE, otherwise keep going.

However, according to the commit message, the intention was to only make
change 3.  Change 1 is a bug.  Change 2 does not seem to be necessary,
and it breaks UBIFS expectations, so if needed, it should be done
separately later.  And change 2 does not seem to be documented in the
commit message.

This patch does the following:
 1. Undo changes 1 and 2
 2. Add a comment explaining change 3 (it very useful to have comments
    in _code_, not only in the commit).

27421e211a Manually revert "mlock: downgrade mmap sem while populating mlocked regions"
This essentially reverts commit 8edb08caf6.

It downgraded our mmap semaphore to a read-lock while mlocking pages, in
order to allow other threads (and external accesses like "ps" et al) to
walk the vma lists and take page faults etc.  Which is a nice idea, but
the implementation does not work.

Because we cannot upgrade the lock back to a write lock without
releasing the mmap semaphore, the code had to release the lock entirely
and then re-take it as a writelock.  However, that meant that the caller
possibly lost the vma chain that it was following, since now another
thread could come in and mmap/munmap the range.

The code tried to work around that by just looking up the vma again and
erroring out if that happened, but quite frankly, that was just a buggy
hack that doesn't actually protect against anything (the other thread
could just have replaced the vma with another one instead of totally
unmapping it).

The only way to downgrade to a read map _reliably_ is to do it at the
end, which is likely the right thing to do: do all the 'vma' operations
with the write-lock held, then downgrade to a read after completing them
all, and then do the "populate the newly mlocked regions" while holding
just the read lock.  And then just drop the read-lock and return to user
space.

The (perhaps somewhat simpler) alternative is to just make all the
callers of mlock_vma_pages_range() know that the mmap lock got dropped,
and just re-grab the mmap semaphore if it needs to mlock more than one
vma region.

So we can do this "downgrade mmap sem while populating mlocked regions"
thing right, but the way it was done here was absolutely not correct.
Thus the revert, in the expectation that we will do it all correctly
some day.

fc8744adc8 Stop playing silly games with the VM_ACCOUNT flag
The mmap_region() code would temporarily set the VM_ACCOUNT flag for
anonymous shared mappings just to inform shmem_zero_setup() that it
should enable accounting for the resulting shm object.  It would then
clear the flag after calling ->mmap (for the /dev/zero case) or doing
shmem_zero_setup() (for the MAP_ANON case).

This just resulted in vma merge issues, but also made for just
unnecessary confusion.  Use the already-existing VM_NORESERVE flag for
this instead, and let shmem_{zero|file}_setup() just figure it out from
that.

This also happens to make it obvious that the new DRI2 GEM layer uses a
non-reserving backing store for its object allocation - which is quite
possibly not intentional.  But since I didn't want to change semantics
in this patch, I left it alone, and just updated the caller to use the
new flag semantics.

33bfad54b5 Allow opportunistic merging of VM_CAN_NONLINEAR areas
Commit de33c8db59 ("Fix OOPS in
mmap_region() when merging adjacent VM_LOCKED file segments") unified
the vma merging of anonymous and file maps to just one place, which
simplified the code and fixed a use-after-free bug that could cause an
oops.

But by doing the merge opportunistically before even having called
->mmap() on the file method, it now compares two different 'vm_flags'
values: the pre-mmap() value of the new not-yet-formed vma, and previous
mappings of the same file around it.

And in doing so, it refused to merge the common file case, which adds a
marker to say "I can be made non-linear".

This fixes it by just adding a set of flags that don't have to match,
because we know they are ok to merge.  Currently it's only that single
VM_CAN_NONLINEAR flag, but at least conceptually there could be others
in the future.

7bcc1bb123 memcg: get/put parents at create/free
The lifetime of struct cgroup and struct mem_cgroup is different and
mem_cgroup has its own reference count for handling references from
swap_cgroup.

This causes strange problem that the parent mem_cgroup dies while child
mem_cgroup alive, and this problem causes a bug in case of
use_hierarchy==1 because res_counter_uncharge climbs up the tree.

This patch is for avoiding it by getting the parent at create, and putting
it at freeing.

de33c8db59 Fix OOPS in mmap_region() when merging adjacent VM_LOCKED file segments
As of commit ba470de431 ("map: handle
mlocked pages during map, remap, unmap") we now use the 'vma' variable
at the end of mmap_region() to handle the page-in of newly mapped
mlocked pages.

However, if we merged adjacent vma's together, the vma we're using may
be stale.  We historically consciously avoided using it after the merge
operation, but that got overlooked when redoing the locked page
handling.

This commit simplifies mmap_region() by doing any vma merges early,
avoiding the issue entirely, and 'vma' will always be valid.  As pointed
out by Hugh Dickins, this depends on any drivers that change the page
offset of flags to have set one of the VM_SPECIAL bits (so that they
cannot trigger the early merge logic), but that's true in general.

When this array overflows and a struct is allocated by kmalloc(), it may

4d1c627389 memcg: make oom less frequently
In previous implementation, mem_cgroup_try_charge checked the return
value of mem_cgroup_try_to_free_pages, and just retried if some pages
had been reclaimed.
But now, try_charge(and mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim called from it)
only checks whether the usage is less than the limit.

This patch tries to change the behavior as before to cause oom less
frequently.

c268e9946d memcg: fix hierarchical reclaim
If root_mem has no children, last_scaned_child is set to root_mem itself.
But after some children added to root_mem, mem_cgroup_get_next_node can
mem_cgroup_put the root_mem although root_mem has not been mem_cgroup_get.

This patch fixes this behavior by:

- Set last_scanned_child to NULL if root_mem has no children or DFS
  search has returned to root_mem itself(root_mem is not a "child" of
  root_mem).  Make mem_cgroup_get_first_node return root_mem in this case.
   There are no mem_cgroup_get/put for root_mem.

- Rename mem_cgroup_get_next_node to __mem_cgroup_get_next_node, and
  mem_cgroup_get_first_node to mem_cgroup_get_next_node.  Make
  mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim call only new mem_cgroup_get_next_node.

There is a bug in error path of mem_cgroup_move_parent.

Extra refcnt got from try_charge should be dropped, and usages incremented
by try_charge should be decremented in both error paths:

    A: failure at get_page_unless_zero
    B: failure at isolate_lru_page

This bug makes this parent directory unremovable.

In case of A, rmdir doesn't return, because res.usage doesn't go down to 0
at mem_cgroup_force_empty even after all the pc in lru are removed.

In case of B, rmdir fails and returns -EBUSY, because it has extra ref
counts even after res.usage goes down to 0.

822c18f2e3 alpha: fix vmalloc breakage
On alpha, we have to map some stuff in the VMALLOC space very early in the
boot process (to make SRM console callbacks work and so on, see
arch/alpha/mm/init.c).  For old VM allocator, we just manually placed a
vm_struct onto the global vmlist and this worked for ages.

Unfortunately, the new allocator isn't aware of this, so it constantly
tries to allocate the VM space which is already in use, making vmalloc on
alpha defunct.

This patch forces KVA to import vmlist entries on init.

6673e0c3fb [CVE-2009-0029] System call wrapper special cases
System calls with an unsigned long long argument can't be converted with
the standard wrappers since that would include a cast to long, which in
turn means that we would lose the upper 32 bit on 32 bit architectures.
Also semctl can't use the standard wrapper since it has a 'union'
parameter.

So we handle them as special case and add some extra wrappers instead.

2ed7c03ec1 [CVE-2009-0029] Convert all system calls to return a long
Convert all system calls to return a long. This should be a NOP since all
converted types should have the same size anyway.
With the exception of sys_exit_group which returned void. But that doesn't
matter since the system call doesn't return.

e4b866ed19 x86 PAT: change track_pfn_vma_new to take pgprot_t pointer param
Impact: cleanup

Change the protection parameter for track_pfn_vma_new() into a pgprot_t pointer.
Subsequent patch changes the x86 PAT handling to return a compatible
memtype in pgprot_t, if what was requested cannot be allowed due to conflicts.
No fuctionality change in this patch.

a367061311 x86 PAT: remove PFNMAP type on track_pfn_vma_new() error
Impact: fix (harmless) double-free of memtype entries and avoid warning

On track_pfn_vma_new() failure, reset the vm_flags so that there will be
no second cleanup happening when upper level routines call unmap_vmas().

This patch fixes part of the bug reported here:

  http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123108883716357&w=2

Specifically the error message:

  X:5010 freeing invalid memtype d0000000-d0101000

Is due to multiple frees on error path, will not happen with the patch below.

95156f0051 lockdep, mm: fix might_fault() annotation
Some code (nfs/sunrpc) uses socket ops on kernel memory while holding
the mmap_sem, this is safe because kernel memory doesn't get paged out,
therefore we'll never actually fault, and the might_fault() annotations
will generate false positives.
