For handling a free hugepage in memory failure, the race will happen if
another thread hwpoisoned this hugepage concurrently. So we need to
check PageHWPoison instead of !PageHWPoison.
If hwpoison_filter(p) returns true or a race happens, then we need to
unlock_page(hpage).

Merge x86/espfix into x86/vdso, due to changes in the vdso setup code
that otherwise cause conflicts.
Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com>
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.]

Refactor the memblock code and extend the memblock API to make it
more flexible. With the extended API it is simple to define and
work with additional memory lists.
The static functions memblock_add_region and __memblock_remove are
renamed to memblock_add_range and meblock_remove_range and added to
the memblock API.
The __next_free_mem_range and __next_free_mem_range_rev functions
are replaced with calls to the more generic list walkers
__next_mem_range and __next_mem_range_rev.
To walk an arbitrary memory list two new macros for_each_mem_range
and for_each_mem_range_rev are added. These new macros are used
to define for_each_free_mem_range and for_each_free_mem_range_reverse.

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.

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].

If that happens, __handle_mm_fault() should just return and let

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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. ]

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).

'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.

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.

This patch creates a generic implementation of early_ioremap() support
based on the existing x86 implementation. early_ioremp() is useful for
early boot code which needs to temporarily map I/O or memory regions
before normal mapping functions such as ioremap() are available.
Some architectures have optional MMU. In the no-MMU case, the remap
functions simply return the passed in physical address and the unmap
functions do nothing.

Statistics are not critical to the operation of the allocation but
should also not cause too much overhead.
When __this_cpu_inc is altered to check if preemption is disabled this
triggers. Use raw_cpu_inc to avoid the checks. Using this_cpu_ops may
cause interrupt disable/enable sequences on various arches which may
significantly impact allocator performance.

Currently, we try to arrange sysfs entries for memcg caches in the same
manner as for global caches. Apart from turning /sys/kernel/slab into a
mess when there are a lot of kmem-active memcgs created, it actually
does not work properly - we won't create more than one link to a memcg
cache in case its parent is merged with another cache. For instance, if
A is a root cache merged with another root cache B, we will have the
following sysfs setup:
X
A -> X
B -> X
where X is some unique id (see create_unique_id()). Now if memcgs M and
N start to allocate from cache A (or B, which is the same), we will get:
X
X:M
X:N
A -> X
B -> X
A:M -> X:M
A:N -> X:N
Since B is an alias for A, we won't get entries B:M and B:N, which is
confusing.
It is more logical to have entries for memcg caches under the
corresponding root cache's sysfs directory. This would allow us to keep
sysfs layout clean, and avoid such inconsistencies like one described
above.
This patch does the trick. It creates a "cgroup" kset in each root
cache kobject to keep its children caches there.

Currently we destroy children caches at the very beginning of
kmem_cache_destroy(). This is wrong, because the root cache will not
necessarily be destroyed in the end - if it has aliases (refcount > 0),
kmem_cache_destroy() will simply decrement its refcount and return. In
this case, at best we will get a bunch of warnings in dmesg, like this
one:
kmem_cache_destroy kmalloc-32:0: Slab cache still has objects
CPU: 1 PID: 7139 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G B W 3.13.0+ #117

At worst - if kmem_cache_destroy() will race with an allocation from a
memcg cache - the kernel will panic.
This patch fixes this by moving children caches destruction after the
check if the cache has aliases. Plus, it forbids destroying a root
cache if it still has children caches, because each children cache keeps
a reference to its parent.

Currently, memcg_unregister_cache(), which deletes the cache being
destroyed from the memcg_slab_caches list, is called after
__kmem_cache_shutdown() (see kmem_cache_destroy()), which starts to
destroy the cache.
As a result, one can access a partially destroyed cache while traversing
a memcg_slab_caches list, which can have deadly consequences (for
instance, cache_show() called for each cache on a memcg_slab_caches list
from mem_cgroup_slabinfo_read() will dereference pointers to already
freed data).
To fix this, let's move memcg_unregister_cache() before the cache
destruction process beginning, issuing memcg_register_cache() on failure.

This patch cleans up the memcg cache creation path as follows:
- Move memcg cache name creation to a separate function to be called
from kmem_cache_create_memcg(). This allows us to get rid of the mutex
protecting the temporary buffer used for the name formatting, because
the whole cache creation path is protected by the slab_mutex.
- Get rid of memcg_create_kmem_cache(). This function serves as a proxy
to kmem_cache_create_memcg(). After separating the cache name creation
path, it would be reduced to a function call, so let's inline it.

When a kmem cache is created (kmem_cache_create_memcg()), we first try to
find a compatible cache that already exists and can handle requests from
the new cache, i.e. has the same object size, alignment, ctor, etc. If
there is such a cache, we do not create any new caches, instead we simply
increment the refcount of the cache found and return it.
Currently we do this procedure not only when creating root caches, but
also for memcg caches. However, there is no point in that, because, as
every memcg cache has exactly the same parameters as its parent and cache
merging cannot be turned off in runtime (only on boot by passing
"slub_nomerge"), the root caches of any two potentially mergeable memcg
caches should be merged already, i.e. it must be the same root cache, and
therefore we couldn't even get to the memcg cache creation, because it
already exists.
The only exception is boot caches - they are explicitly forbidden to be
merged by setting their refcount to -1. There are currently only two of
them - kmem_cache and kmem_cache_node, which are used in slab internals (I
do not count kmalloc caches as their refcount is set to 1 immediately
after creation). Since they are prevented from merging preliminary I
guess we should avoid to merge their children too.
So let's remove the useless code responsible for merging memcg caches.

unnecessary writeback or no writeback when we should really writeback.
IOW, it made zswap crazy.
Another problem in zswap is:
For example, let's assume we use two swap A and B with different
priority and A already has charged 19% long time ago and let's assume
that A swap is full now so VM start to use B so that B has charged 1%
recently. It menas zswap charged (19% + 1%) is full by default. Then,
if VM want to swap out more pages into B, zbud_reclaim_page would be
evict one of pages in B's pool and it would be repeated continuously.
It's totally LRU reverse problem and swap thrashing in B would happen.
This patch makes zswap consider mutliple swap by creating *a* zbud pool
which will be shared by multiple swap so all of zswap pages in multiple
swap keep order by LRU so it can prevent above two problems.

A new dump_page() routine was recently added, and marked
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. dump_page() was also added to the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE()
macro, and so the end result is that non-GPL code can no longer call
get_page() and a few other routines.
This only happens if the kernel was compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.
Change dump_page() to be EXPORT_SYMBOL.
Longer explanation:
Prior to commit 309381feae ("mm: dump page when hitting a VM_BUG_ON
using VM_BUG_ON_PAGE") , it was possible to build MIT-licensed (non-GPL)
drivers on Fedora. Fedora is semi-unique, in that it sets
CONFIG_VM_DEBUG.
Because Fedora sets CONFIG_VM_DEBUG, they end up pulling in dump_page(),
via VM_BUG_ON_PAGE, via get_page(). As one of the authors of NVIDIA's
new, open source, "UVM-Lite" kernel module, I originally choose to use
the kernel's get_page() routine from within nvidia_uvm_page_cache.c,
because get_page() has always seemed to be very clearly intended for use
by non-GPL, driver code.
So I'm hoping that making get_page() widely accessible again will not be
too controversial. We did check with Fedora first, and they responded
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1074710#c3) that we should
try to get upstream changed, before asking Fedora to change. Their
reasoning seems beneficial to Linux: leaving CONFIG_DEBUG_VM set allows
Fedora to help catch mm bugs.

When I decrease the value of nr_hugepage in procfs a lot, softlockup
happens. It is because there is no chance of context switch during this
process.
On the other hand, when I allocate a large number of hugepages, there is
some chance of context switch. Hence softlockup doesn't happen during
this process. So it's necessary to add the context switch in the
freeing process as same as allocating process to avoid softlockup.
When I freed 12 TB hugapages with kernel-2.6.32-358.el6, the freeing
process occupied a CPU over 150 seconds and following softlockup message
appeared twice or more.

I have not confirmed this problem with upstream kernels because I am not
able to prepare the machine equipped with 12TB memory now. However I
confirmed that the amount of decreasing hugepages was directly
proportional to the amount of required time.
I measured required times on a smaller machine. It showed 130-145
hugepages decreased in a millisecond.

10,000 pages == 20GB 70 - 74 135-142

It means decrement of 6TB hugepages will trigger softlockup with the

A BUG_ON(!PageLocked) was triggered in mlock_vma_page() by Sasha Levin
fuzzing with trinity. The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() does not lock
the pages other than its check_page parameter (which is already locked).
The BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() is not documented and its purpose is
somewhat unclear, but apparently it serializes against page migration,
which could otherwise fail to transfer the PG_mlocked flag. This would
not be fatal, as the page would be eventually encountered again, but
NR_MLOCK accounting would become distorted nevertheless. This patch adds
a comment to the BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() and munlock_vma_page() to that
effect.
The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() is fixed so that for page !=
check_page, trylock_page() is attempted (to avoid possible deadlocks as we
already have check_page locked) and mlock_vma_page() is performed only
upon success. If the page lock cannot be obtained, the page is left
without PG_mlocked, which is again not a problem in the whole unevictable
memory design.

On NUMA systems, a node may start thrashing cache or even swap anonymous
pages while there are still free pages on remote nodes.
This is a result of commits 81c0a2bb51 ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone
allocator policy") and fff4068cba ("mm: page_alloc: revert NUMA aspect
of fair allocation policy").
Before those changes, the allocator would first try all allowed zones,
including those on remote nodes, before waking any kswapds. But now,
the allocator fastpath doubles as the fairness pass, which in turn can
only consider the local node to prevent remote spilling based on
exhausted fairness batches alone. Remote nodes are only considered in
the slowpath, after the kswapds are woken up. But if remote nodes still
have free memory, kswapd should not be woken to rebalance the local node
or it may thrash cash or swap prematurely.
Fix this by adding one more unfair pass over the zonelist that is
allowed to spill to remote nodes after the local fairness pass fails but
before entering the slowpath and waking the kswapds.
This also gets rid of the GFP_THISNODE exemption from the fairness
protocol because the unfair pass is no longer tied to kswapd, which
GFP_THISNODE is not allowed to wake up.
However, because remote spills can be more frequent now - we prefer them
over local kswapd reclaim - the allocation batches on remote nodes could
underflow more heavily. When resetting the batches, use
atomic_long_read() directly instead of zone_page_state() to calculate the
delta as the latter filters negative counter values.

vm_map_ram() has a fragmentation problem when it cannot purge a
chunk(ie, 4M address space) if there is a pinning object in that
addresss space. So it could consume all VMALLOC address space easily.
We can fix the fragmentation problem by using vmap instead of
vm_map_ram() but vmap() is known to be slow compared to vm_map_ram().
Minchan said vm_map_ram is 5 times faster than vmap in his tests. So I
thought we should fix fragment problem of vm_map_ram because our
proprietary GPU driver has used it heavily.
On second thought, it's not an easy because we should reuse freed space
for solving the problem and it could make more IPI and bitmap operation
for searching hole. It could mitigate API's goal which is very fast
mapping. And even fragmentation problem wouldn't show in 64 bit
machine.
Another option is that the user should separate long-life and short-life
object and use vmap for long-life but vm_map_ram for short-life. If we
inform the user about the characteristic of vm_map_ram the user can
choose one according to the page lifetime.
Let's add some notice messages to user.

This patch is a continuation of efforts trying to optimize find_vma(),
avoiding potentially expensive rbtree walks to locate a vma upon faults.
The original approach (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/1/410), where the
largest vma was also cached, ended up being too specific and random,
thus further comparison with other approaches were needed. There are
two things to consider when dealing with this, the cache hit rate and
the latency of find_vma(). Improving the hit-rate does not necessarily
translate in finding the vma any faster, as the overhead of any fancy
caching schemes can be too high to consider.
We currently cache the last used vma for the whole address space, which
provides a nice optimization, reducing the total cycles in find_vma() by
up to 250%, for workloads with good locality. On the other hand, this
simple scheme is pretty much useless for workloads with poor locality.
Analyzing ebizzy runs shows that, no matter how many threads are
running, the mmap_cache hit rate is less than 2%, and in many situations
below 1%.
The proposed approach is to replace this scheme with a small per-thread
cache, maximizing hit rates at a very low maintenance cost.
Invalidations are performed by simply bumping up a 32-bit sequence
number. The only expensive operation is in the rare case of a seq
number overflow, where all caches that share the same address space are
flushed. Upon a miss, the proposed replacement policy is based on the
page number that contains the virtual address in question. Concretely,
the following results are seen on an 80 core, 8 socket x86-64 box:
1) System bootup: Most programs are single threaded, so the per-thread
scheme does improve ~50% hit rate by just adding a few more slots to
the cache.
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 50.61% | 19.90 |
| patched | 73.45% | 13.58 |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
2) Kernel build: This one is already pretty good with the current
approach as we're dealing with good locality.
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 75.28% | 11.03 |
| patched | 88.09% | 9.31 |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
3) Oracle 11g Data Mining (4k pages): Similar to the kernel build workload.
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 70.66% | 17.14 |
| patched | 91.15% | 12.57 |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
4) Ebizzy: There's a fair amount of variation from run to run, but this
approach always shows nearly perfect hit rates, while baseline is just
about non-existent. The amounts of cycles can fluctuate between
anywhere from ~60 to ~116 for the baseline scheme, but this approach
reduces it considerably. For instance, with 80 threads:
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline | 1.06% | 91.54 |
| patched | 99.97% | 14.18 |

filemap_map_pages() is generic implementation of ->map_pages() for
filesystems who uses page cache.
It should be safe to use filemap_map_pages() for ->map_pages() if
filesystem use filemap_fault() for ->fault().

Here's new version of faultaround patchset. It took a while to tune it
and collect performance data.
First patch adds new callback ->map_pages to vm_operations_struct.
->map_pages() is called when VM asks to map easy accessible pages.
Filesystem should find and map pages associated with offsets from
"pgoff" till "max_pgoff". ->map_pages() is called with page table
locked and must not block. If it's not possible to reach a page without
blocking, filesystem should skip it. Filesystem should use do_set_pte()
to setup page table entry. Pointer to entry associated with offset
"pgoff" is passed in "pte" field in vm_fault structure. Pointers to
entries for other offsets should be calculated relative to "pte".
Currently VM use ->map_pages only on read page fault path. We try to
map FAULT_AROUND_PAGES a time. FAULT_AROUND_PAGES is 16 for now.
Performance data for different FAULT_AROUND_ORDER is below.
TODO:
- implement ->map_pages() for shmem/tmpfs;
- modify get_user_pages() to be able to use ->map_pages() and implement
mmap(MAP_POPULATE|MAP_NONBLOCK) on top.
=========================================================================
Tested on 4-socket machine (120 threads) with 128GiB of RAM.
Few real-world workloads. The sweet spot for FAULT_AROUND_ORDER here is
somewhere between 3 and 5. Let's say 4 :)

This patch (of 2):
Introduce new vm_ops callback ->map_pages() and uses it for mapping easy
accessible pages around fault address.
On read page fault, if filesystem provides ->map_pages(), we try to map up
to FAULT_AROUND_PAGES pages around page fault address in hope to reduce
number of minor page faults.
We call ->map_pages first and use ->fault() as fallback if page by the
offset is not ready to be mapped (cold page cache or something).

The main motivation behind this patch is to provide a way to disable THP
for jobs where the code cannot be modified, and using a malloc hook with
madvise is not an option (i.e. statically allocated data). This patch
allows us to do just that, without affecting other jobs running on the
system.
We need to do this sort of thing for jobs where THP hurts performance,
due to the possibility of increased remote memory accesses that can be
created by situations such as the following:
When you touch 1 byte of an untouched, contiguous 2MB chunk, a THP will
be handed out, and the THP will be stuck on whatever node the chunk was
originally referenced from. If many remote nodes need to do work on
that same chunk, they'll be making remote accesses.
With THP disabled, 4K pages can be handed out to separate nodes as
they're needed, greatly reducing the amount of remote accesses to
memory.
This patch is based on some of my work combined with some
suggestions/patches given by Oleg Nesterov. The main goal here is to
add a prctl switch to allow us to disable to THP on a per mm_struct
basis.
Here's a bit of test data with the new patch in place...

As with previous versions of the patch, We're getting about a 2x
performance increase here. Here's a link to the test case I used, along
with the little wrapper to activate the flag:
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/memtests/thp_pthread_mmprctlv3.tar.gz
This patch (of 3):
Revert commit 8e72033f2a and add in code to fix up any issues caused
by the revert.
The revert is necessary because hugepage_madvise would return -EINVAL
when VM_NOHUGEPAGE is set, which will break subsequent chunks of this
patch set.
Here's a snip of an e-mail from Gerald detailing the original purpose of
this code, and providing justification for the revert:
"The intent of commit 8e72033f2a was to guard against any future
programming errors that may result in an madvice(MADV_HUGEPAGE) on
guest mappings, which would crash the kernel.
Martin suggested adding the bit to arch/s390/mm/pgtable.c, if
8e72033f2a was to be reverted, because that check will also prevent
a kernel crash in the case described above, it will now send a
SIGSEGV instead.
This would now also allow to do the madvise on other parts, if
needed, so it is a more flexible approach. One could also say that
it would have been better to do it this way right from the
beginning..."

isolation_suitable() and migrate_async_suitable() is used to be sure
that this pageblock range is fine to be migragted. It isn't needed to
call it on every page. Current code do well if not suitable, but, don't
do well when suitable.
1) It re-checks isolation_suitable() on each page of a pageblock that was
already estabilished as suitable.
2) It re-checks migrate_async_suitable() on each page of a pageblock that
was not entered through the next_pageblock: label, because
last_pageblock_nr is not otherwise updated.
This patch fixes situation by 1) calling isolation_suitable() only once
per pageblock and 2) always updating last_pageblock_nr to the pageblock
that was just checked.
Additionally, move PageBuddy() check after pageblock unit check, since
pageblock check is the first thing we should do and makes things more
simple.

It is odd to drop the spinlock when we scan (SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX - 1) th
pfn page. This may results in below situation while isolating
migratepage.
1. try isolate 0x0 ~ 0x200 pfn pages.
2. When low_pfn is 0x1ff, ((low_pfn+1) % SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX) == 0, so drop
the spinlock.
3. Then, to complete isolating, retry to aquire the lock.
I think that it is better to use SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX th pfn for checking the
criteria about dropping the lock. This has no harm 0x0 pfn, because, at
this time, locked variable would be false.

suitable_migration_target() checks that pageblock is suitable for
migration target. In isolate_freepages_block(), it is called on every
page and this is inefficient. So make it called once per pageblock.
suitable_migration_target() also checks if page is highorder or not, but
it's criteria for highorder is pageblock order. So calling it once
within pageblock range has no problem.

Purpose of compaction is to get a high order page. Currently, if we
find high-order page while searching migration target page, we break it
to order-0 pages and use them as migration target. It is contrary to
purpose of compaction, so disallow high-order page to be used for
migration target.
Additionally, clean-up logic in suitable_migration_target() to simplify
the code. There is no functional changes from this clean-up.

We had a report about strange OOM killer strikes on a PPC machine
although there was a lot of swap free and a tons of anonymous memory
which could be swapped out. In the end it turned out that the OOM was a
side effect of zone reclaim which wasn't unmapping and swapping out and
so the system was pushed to the OOM. Although this sounds like a bug
somewhere in the kswapd vs. zone reclaim vs. direct reclaim
interaction numactl on the said hardware suggests that the zone reclaim
should not have been set in the first place:
node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
node 0 size: 0 MB
node 0 free: 0 MB
node 2 cpus:
node 2 size: 7168 MB
node 2 free: 6019 MB
node distances:
node 0 2
0: 10 40
2: 40 10
So all the CPUs are associated with Node0 which doesn't have any memory
while Node2 contains all the available memory. Node distances cause an
automatic zone_reclaim_mode enabling.
Zone reclaim is intended to keep the allocations local but this doesn't
make any sense on the memoryless nodes. So let's exclude such nodes for
init_zone_allows_reclaim which evaluates zone reclaim behavior and
suitable reclaim_nodes.

We abort direct reclaim if we find the zone is ready for compaction.
Sometimes the zone is just a promoted highmem zone to force a scan of
highmem, which is not the intended zone the caller want to allocate a
page from. In this situation, setting aborted_reclaim to indicate the
caller turned back to retry the allocation is waste of time and could
cause a loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath().
This patch does not check compaction_ready() on promoted zones to avoid
the above situation. Only set aborted_reclaim if the caller intended
zone is ready for compaction.

The NUMA scanning code can end up iterating over many gigabytes of
unpopulated memory, especially in the case of a freshly started KVM
guest with lots of memory.
This results in the mmu notifier code being called even when there are
no mapped pages in a virtual address range. The amount of time wasted
can be enough to trigger soft lockup warnings with very large KVM
guests.
This patch moves the mmu notifier call to the pmd level, which
represents 1GB areas of memory on x86-64. Furthermore, the mmu notifier
code is only called from the address in the PMD where present mappings
are first encountered.
The hugetlbfs code is left alone for now; hugetlb mappings are not
relocatable, and as such are left alone by the NUMA code, and should
never trigger this problem to begin with.

The VM_BUG_ON was added in -mm by the patch "mm,numa: reorganize

harder to hit.
The problem is that a transhuge check is made without holding the PTL.
It's possible at the time of the check that a parallel fault clears the
pmd and inserts a new one which then triggers the VM_BUG_ON check. This
patch removes the VM_BUG_ON but fixes the race by rechecking transhuge
under the PTL when marking page tables for NUMA hinting and bailing if a
race occurred. It is not a problem for calls to mprotect() as they hold
mmap_sem for write.

- Support for perf_sample_event_took, allowing us to automatically decrease
the sample rate if we can't handle the PMU interrupts quickly enough
(run perf record on your FPGA!).
- Basic uprobes support from David Long:
This patch series adds basic uprobes support to ARM. It is based on
patches developed earlier by Rabin Vincent. That approach of adding
hooks into the kprobes instruction parsing code was not well received.
This approach separates the ARM instruction parsing code in kprobes out
into a separate set of functions which can be used by both kprobes and
uprobes. Both kprobes and uprobes then provide their own semantic action
tables to process the results of the parsing.
- ARMv7M (microcontroller) updates from Uwe Kleine-König
- OMAP DMA updates (recently added Vinod's Ack even though they've been
sitting in linux-next for a few months) to reduce the reliance of
omap-dma on the code in arch/arm.

get_user_pages(write=1, force=1) has always had odd behaviour on write-
protected shared mappings: although it demands FMODE_WRITE-access to the
underlying object (do_mmap_pgoff sets neither VM_SHARED nor VM_MAYWRITE
without that), it ends up with do_wp_page substituting private anonymous
Copied-On-Write pages for the shared file pages in the area.
That was long ago intentional, as a safety measure to prevent ptrace
setting a breakpoint (or POKETEXT or POKEDATA) from inadvertently
corrupting the underlying executable. Yet exec and dynamic loaders open
the file read-only, and use MAP_PRIVATE rather than MAP_SHARED.
The traditional odd behaviour still causes surprises and bugs in mm, and
is probably not what any caller wants - even the comment on the flag
says "You do not want this" (although it's undoubtedly necessary for
overriding userspace protections in some contexts, and good when !write).
Let's stop doing that. But it would be dangerous to remove the long-
standing safety at this stage, so just make get_user_pages(write,force)
fail with EFAULT when applied to a write-protected shared area.
Infiniband may in future want to force write through to underlying
object: we can add another FOLL_flag later to enable that if required.
Odd though the old behaviour was, there is no doubt that we may turn out
to break userspace with this change, and have to revert it quickly.
Issue a WARN_ON_ONCE to help debug the changed case (easily triggered by
userspace, so only once to prevent spamming the logs); and delay a few
associated cleanups until this change is proved.
get_user_pages callers who might see trouble from this change:
ptrace poking, or writing to /proc/<pid>/mem
drivers/infiniband/
drivers/media/v4l2-core/
drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_gem.c
drivers/staging/tidspbridge/core/tiomap3430.c
if they ever apply get_user_pages to write-protected shared mappings
of an object which was opened for writing.
I went to apply the same change to mm/nommu.c, but retreated. NOMMU has
no place for COW, and its VM_flags conventions are not the same: I'd be
more likely to screw up NOMMU than make an improvement there.

We release the slab_mutex while calling sysfs_slab_add from
__kmem_cache_create since commit 66c4c35c6b ("slub: Do not hold
slub_lock when calling sysfs_slab_add()"), because kobject_uevent called
by sysfs_slab_add might block waiting for the usermode helper to exec,
which would result in a deadlock if we took the slab_mutex while
executing it.
However, apart from complicating synchronization rules, releasing the
slab_mutex on kmem cache creation can result in a kmemcg-related race.
The point is that we check if the memcg cache exists before going to
__kmem_cache_create, but register the new cache in memcg subsys after
it. Since we can drop the mutex there, several threads can see that the
memcg cache does not exist and proceed to creating it, which is wrong.
Fortunately, recently kobject_uevent was patched to call the usermode
helper with the UMH_NO_WAIT flag, making the deadlock impossible.
Therefore there is no point in releasing the slab_mutex while calling
sysfs_slab_add, so let's simplify kmem_cache_create synchronization and
fix the kmemcg-race mentioned above by holding the slab_mutex during the
whole cache creation path.

There is plenty of anecdotal evidence and a load of blog posts
suggesting that using "drop_caches" periodically keeps your system
running in "tip top shape". Perhaps adding some kernel documentation
will increase the amount of accurate data on its use.
If we are not shrinking caches effectively, then we have real bugs.
Using drop_caches will simply mask the bugs and make them harder to
find, but certainly does not fix them, nor is it an appropriate
"workaround" to limit the size of the caches. On the contrary, there
have been bug reports on issues that turned out to be misguided use of
cache dropping.
Dropping caches is a very drastic and disruptive operation that is good
for debugging and running tests, but if it creates bug reports from
production use, kernel developers should be aware of its use.
Add a bit more documentation about it, a syslog message to track down
abusers, and vmstat drop counters to help analyze problem reports.

This patch removes read_cache_page_async() which wasn't really needed
anywhere and simplifies the code around it a bit.
read_cache_page_async() is useful when we want to read a page into the
cache without waiting for it to complete. This happens when the
appropriate callback 'filler' doesn't complete its read operation and
releases the page lock immediately, and instead queues a different
completion routine to do that. This never actually happened anywhere in
the code.
read_cache_page_async() had 3 different callers:
- read_cache_page() which is the sync version, it would just wait for
the requested read to complete using wait_on_page_read().
- JFFS2 would call it from jffs2_gc_fetch_page(), but the filler
function it supplied doesn't do any async reads, and would complete
before the filler function returns - making it actually a sync read.
- CRAMFS would call it using the read_mapping_page_async() wrapper, with
a similar story to JFFS2 - the filler function doesn't do anything that
reminds async reads and would always complete before the filler function
returns.
To sum it up, the code in mm/filemap.c never took advantage of having
read_cache_page_async(). While there are filler callbacks that do async
reads (such as the block one), we always called it with the
read_cache_page().
This patch adds a mandatory wait for read to complete when adding a new
page to the cache, and removes read_cache_page_async() and its wrappers.

Page migration will fail for memory that is pinned in memory with, for
example, get_user_pages(). In this case, it is unnecessary to take
zone->lru_lock or isolating the page and passing it to page migration
which will ultimately fail.
This is a racy check, the page can still change from under us, but in
that case we'll just fail later when attempting to move the page.
This avoids very expensive memory compaction when faulting transparent
hugepages after pinning a lot of memory with a Mellanox driver.
On a 128GB machine and pinning ~120GB of memory, before this patch we
see the enormous disparity in the number of page migration failures
because of the pinning (from /proc/vmstat):
compact_pages_moved 8450
compact_pagemigrate_failed 15614415
0.05% of pages isolated are successfully migrated and explicitly
triggering memory compaction takes 102 seconds. After the patch:
compact_pages_moved 9197
compact_pagemigrate_failed 7
99.9% of pages isolated are now successfully migrated in this
configuration and memory compaction takes less than one second.

Previously, page cache radix tree nodes were freed after reclaim emptied
out their page pointers. But now reclaim stores shadow entries in their
place, which are only reclaimed when the inodes themselves are
reclaimed. This is problematic for bigger files that are still in use
after they have a significant amount of their cache reclaimed, without
any of those pages actually refaulting. The shadow entries will just
sit there and waste memory. In the worst case, the shadow entries will
accumulate until the machine runs out of memory.
To get this under control, the VM will track radix tree nodes
exclusively containing shadow entries on a per-NUMA node list. Per-NUMA
rather than global because we expect the radix tree nodes themselves to
be allocated node-locally and we want to reduce cross-node references of
otherwise independent cache workloads. A simple shrinker will then
reclaim these nodes on memory pressure.
A few things need to be stored in the radix tree node to implement the
shadow node LRU and allow tree deletions coming from the list:
1. There is no index available that would describe the reverse path
from the node up to the tree root, which is needed to perform a
deletion. To solve this, encode in each node its offset inside the
parent. This can be stored in the unused upper bits of the same
member that stores the node's height at no extra space cost.
2. The number of shadow entries needs to be counted in addition to the
regular entries, to quickly detect when the node is ready to go to
the shadow node LRU list. The current entry count is an unsigned
int but the maximum number of entries is 64, so a shadow counter
can easily be stored in the unused upper bits.
3. Tree modification needs tree lock and tree root, which are located
in the address space, so store an address_space backpointer in the
node. The parent pointer of the node is in a union with the 2-word
rcu_head, so the backpointer comes at no extra cost as well.
4. The node needs to be linked to an LRU list, which requires a list
head inside the node. This does increase the size of the node, but
it does not change the number of objects that fit into a slab page.

The VM maintains cached filesystem pages on two types of lists. One
list holds the pages recently faulted into the cache, the other list
holds pages that have been referenced repeatedly on that first list.
The idea is to prefer reclaiming young pages over those that have shown
to benefit from caching in the past. We call the recently usedbut
ultimately was not significantly better than a FIFO policy and still
thrashed cache based on eviction speed, rather than actual demand for
cache.
This patch solves one half of the problem by decoupling the ability to
detect working set changes from the inactive list size. By maintaining
a history of recently evicted file pages it can detect frequently used
pages with an arbitrarily small inactive list size, and subsequently
apply pressure on the active list based on actual demand for cache, not
just overall eviction speed.
Every zone maintains a counter that tracks inactive list aging speed.
When a page is evicted, a snapshot of this counter is stored in the
now-empty page cache radix tree slot. On refault, the minimum access
distance of the page can be assessed, to evaluate whether the page
should be part of the active list or not.
This fixes the VM's blindness towards working set changes in excess of
the inactive list. And it's the foundation to further improve the
protection ability and reduce the minimum inactive list size of 50%.

Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page. As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently. At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.
Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate. Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.

The radix tree hole searching code is only used for page cache, for
example the readahead code trying to get a a picture of the area
surrounding a fault.
It sufficed to rely on the radix tree definition of holes, which is
"empty tree slot". But this is about to change, though, as shadow page
descriptors will be stored in the page cache after the actual pages get
evicted from memory.
Move the functions over to mm/filemap.c and make them native page cache
operations, where they can later be adapted to handle the new definition
of "page cache hole".

Page cache radix tree slots are usually stabilized by the page lock, but
shmem's swap cookies have no such thing. Because the overall truncation
loop is lockless, the swap entry is currently confirmed by a tree lookup
and then deleted by another tree lookup under the same tree lock region.
Use radix_tree_delete_item() instead, which does the verification and
deletion with only one lookup. This also allows removing the
delete-only special case from shmem_radix_tree_replace().

The kernel can currently only handle a single hugetlb page fault at a
time. This is due to a single mutex that serializes the entire path.
This lock protects from spurious OOM errors under conditions of low
availability of free hugepages. This problem is specific to hugepages,
because it is normal to want to use every single hugepage in the system
- with normal pages we simply assume there will always be a few spare
pages which can be used temporarily until the race is resolved.
Address this problem by using a table of mutexes, allowing a better
chance of parallelization, where each hugepage is individually
serialized. The hash key is selected depending on the mapping type.
For shared ones it consists of the address space and file offset being
faulted; while for private ones the mm and virtual address are used.
The size of the table is selected based on a compromise of collisions
and memory footprint of a series of database workloads.
Large database workloads that make heavy use of hugepages can be
particularly exposed to this issue, causing start-up times to be
painfully slow. This patch reduces the startup time of a 10 Gb Oracle
DB (with ~5000 faults) from 37.5 secs to 25.7 secs. Larger workloads
will naturally benefit even more.
NOTE:
The only downside to this patch, detected by Joonsoo Kim, is that a
small race is possible in private mappings: A child process (with its
own mm, after cow) can instantiate a page that is already being handled
by the parent in a cow fault. When low on pages, can trigger spurious
OOMs. I have not been able to think of a efficient way of handling
this... but do we really care about such a tiny window? We already
maintain another theoretical race with normal pages. If not, one
possible way to is to maintain the single hash for private mappings --
any workloads that *really* suffer from this scaling problem should
already use shared mappings.

Region tracking is protected by mmap_sem and hugetlb_instantiation_mutex.
When we do mmap, we don't grab a hugetlb_instantiation_mutex, but only
mmap_sem (exclusively). This doesn't prevent other tasks from modifying
the region structure, so it can be modified by two processes
concurrently.
To solve this, introduce a spinlock to resv_map and make region
manipulation function grab it before they do actual work.

To change a protection method for region tracking to find grained one,

functions.
This doesn't introduce any functional change, and it is just for

Currently, to track reserved and allocated regions, we use two different
ways, depending on the mapping. For MAP_SHARED, we use
address_mapping's private_list and, while for MAP_PRIVATE, we use a
resv_map.
Now, we are preparing to change a coarse grained lock which protect a
region structure to fine grained lock, and this difference hinder it.
So, before changing it, unify region structure handling, consistently
using a resv_map regardless of the kind of mapping.

Since put_mems_allowed() is strictly optional, its a seqcount retry, we
don't need to evaluate the function if the allocation was in fact
successful, saving a smp_rmb some loads and comparisons on some relative
fast-paths.
Since the naming, get/put_mems_allowed() does suggest a mandatory
pairing, rename the interface, as suggested by Mel, to resemble the
seqcount interface.
This gives us: read_mems_allowed_begin() and read_mems_allowed_retry(),
where it is important to note that the return value of the latter call
is inverted from its previous incarnation.

When direct reclaim is executed by a process bound to a set of NUMA
nodes, we should scan only those nodes when possible, but currently we
will scan kmem from all online nodes even if the kmem shrinker is NUMA
aware. That said, binding a process to a particular NUMA node won't
prevent it from shrinking inode/dentry caches from other nodes, which is
not good. Fix this.

After commit 839a8e8660 ("writeback: replace custom worker pool
implementation with unbound workqueue") when device is removed while we
are writing to it we crash in bdi_writeback_workfn() ->
set_worker_desc() because bdi->dev is NULL.
This can happen because even though bdi_unregister() cancels all pending
flushing work, nothing really prevents new ones from being queued from
balance_dirty_pages() or other places.
Fix the problem by clearing BDI_registered bit in bdi_unregister() and
checking it before scheduling of any flushing work.

bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed() used the mod_delayed_work() function to
schedule work to writeback dirty inodes. The problem with this is that
it can delay work that is scheduled for immediate execution, such as the
work from sync_inodes_sb(). This can happen since mod_delayed_work()
can now steal work from a work_queue. This fixes the problem by using
queue_delayed_work() instead. This is a regression caused by commit
839a8e8660 ("writeback: replace custom worker pool implementation with
unbound workqueue").
The reason that this causes a problem is that laptop-mode will change
the delay, dirty_writeback_centisecs, to 60000 (10 minutes) by default.
In the case that bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed() races with
sync_inodes_sb(), sync will be stopped for 10 minutes and trigger a hung
task. Even if dirty_writeback_centisecs is not long enough to cause a
hung task, we still don't want to delay sync for that long.
We fix the problem by using queue_delayed_work() when we want to
schedule writeback sometime in future. This function doesn't change the
timer if it is already armed.
For the same reason, we also change bdi_writeback_workfn() to
immediately queue the work again in the case that the work_list is not
empty. The same problem can happen if the sync work is run on the
rescue worker.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot updates for cgroup:
- The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs. cgroup took
after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and
made it even more convoluted over time. cgroup's internal objects
were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and
object lifetime rules. Naturally, there are places where vfs rules
don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock
dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial
number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is
actually necessary, needed to be employed.
After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking
rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding
of several nasty hacks and overall simplification. This will also
allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups
which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting
i_mutexes.
- Various simplifications including dropping of module support,
easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type
handling and task_cg_lists optimization.
- Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still
a patchset away from being actually operational. The dummy
hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy.
Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are
associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for
anyway.
- Various fixes from Li and others. This pull request includes some
patches to add missing slab.h to various subsystems. This was
triggered xattr.h include removal from cgroup.h. cgroup.h
indirectly got included a lot of files which brought in xattr.h
which brought in slab.h.
There are several merge commits - one to pull in kernfs updates
necessary for converting cgroup (already in upstream through
driver-core), others for interfering changes in the fixes branch"

Pull x86 vdso changes from Peter Anvin:
"This is the revamp of the 32-bit vdso and the associated cleanups.
This adds timekeeping support to the 32-bit vdso that we already have
in the 64-bit vdso. Although 32-bit x86 is legacy, it is likely to
remain in the embedded space for a very long time to come.
This removes the traditional COMPAT_VDSO support; the configuration
variable is reused for simply removing the 32-bit vdso, which will
produce correct results but obviously suffer a performance penalty.
Only one beta version of glibc was affected, but that version was
unfortunately included in one OpenSUSE release.
This is not the end of the vdso cleanups. Stefani and Andy have
agreed to continue work for the next kernel cycle; in fact Andy has
already produced another set of cleanups that came too late for this
cycle.
An incidental, but arguably important, change is that this ensures
that unused space in the VVAR page is properly zeroed. It wasn't
before, and would contain whatever garbage was left in memory by BIOS
or the bootloader. Since the VVAR page is accessible to user space
this had the potential of information leaks"

Pull s390 compat wrapper rework from Heiko Carstens:
"S390 compat system call wrapper simplification work.
The intention of this work is to get rid of all hand written assembly
compat system call wrappers on s390, which perform proper sign or zero
extension, or pointer conversion of compat system call parameters.
Instead all of this should be done with C code eg by using Al's
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.
Therefore all common code and s390 specific compat system calls have
been converted to the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.
In order to generate correct code all compat system calls may only
have eg compat_ulong_t parameters, but no unsigned long parameters.
Those patches which change parameter types from unsigned long to
compat_ulong_t parameters are separate in this series, but shouldn't
cause any harm.
The only compat system calls which intentionally have 64 bit
parameters (preadv64 and pwritev64) in support of the x86/32 ABI
haven't been changed, but are now only available if an architecture
defines __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PREADV64/PWRITEV64.
System calls which do not have a compat variant but still need proper
zero extension on s390, like eg "long sys_brk(unsigned long brk)" will
get a proper wrapper function with the new s390 specific
COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAPx() macro:
COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP1(brk, unsigned long, brk);
which generates the following code (simplified):
asmlinkage long sys_brk(unsigned long brk);
asmlinkage long compat_sys_brk(long brk)
{
return sys_brk((u32)brk);
}
Given that the C file which contains all the COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP lines
includes both linux/syscall.h and linux/compat.h, it will generate
build errors, if the declaration of sys_brk() doesn't match, or if
there exists a non-matching compat_sys_brk() declaration.
In addition this will intentionally result in a link error if
somewhere else a compat_sys_brk() function exists, which probably
should have been used instead. Two more BUILD_BUG_ONs make sure the
size and type of each compat syscall parameter can be handled
correctly with the s390 specific macros.
I converted the compat system calls step by step to verify the
generated code is correct and matches the previous code. In fact it
did not always match, however that was always a bug in the hand
written asm code.
In result we get less code, less bugs, and much more sanity checking"

As Trond pointed out, you can currently deadlock yourself by setting a
file-private lock on a file that requires mandatory locking and then
trying to do I/O on it.
Avoid this problem by plumbing some knowledge of file-private locks into
the mandatory locking code. In order to do this, we must pass down
information about the struct file that's being used to
locks_verify_locked.

SLUB already try to allocate high order page with clearing __GFP_NOFAIL.
But, when allocating shadow page for kmemcheck, it missed clearing
the flag. This trigger WARN_ON_ONCE() reported by Christian Casteyde.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65991https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/12/3/764
This patch fix this situation by using same allocation flag as original
allocation.

Add remove_linear_migration_ptes_from_nonlinear(), to fix an interesting
little include/linux/swapops.h:131 BUG_ON(!PageLocked) found by trinity:
indicating that remove_migration_ptes() failed to find one of the
migration entries that was temporarily inserted.
The problem comes from remap_file_pages()'s switch from vma_interval_tree
(good for inserting the migration entry) to i_mmap_nonlinear list (no good
for locating it again); but can only be a problem if the remap_file_pages()
range does not cover the whole of the vma (zap_pte() clears the range).
remove_migration_ptes() needs a file_nonlinear method to go down the
i_mmap_nonlinear list, applying linear location to look for migration
entries in those vmas too, just in case there was this race.
The file_nonlinear method does need rmap_walk_control.arg to do this;
but it never needed vma passed in - vma comes from its own iteration.

Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform
initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown
below:
get_online_cpus();
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);
register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
put_online_cpus();
This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
with CPU hotplug operations).
Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback
registration is:
cpu_notifier_register_begin();
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);
/* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */
__register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
cpu_notifier_register_done();
Fix the zswap code by using this latter form of callback registration.

Fix some "Bad rss-counter state" reports on exit, arising from the
interaction between page migration and remap_file_pages(): zap_pte()
must count a migration entry when zapping it.
And yes, it is possible (though very unusual) to find an anon page or
swap entry in a VM_SHARED nonlinear mapping: coming from that horrid
get_user_pages(write, force) case which COWs even in a shared mapping.

cftype->write_string() just passes on the writeable buffer from kernfs
and there's no reason to add const restriction on the buffer. The
only thing const achieves is unnecessarily complicating parsing of the
buffer. Drop const from @buffer.

The _install_special_mapping() is the new base function for
install_special_mapping(). This function will return a pointer of the
created VMA or a error code in an ERR_PTR()
This new function will be needed by the for the vdso 32 bit support to map the
additonal vvar and hpet pages into the 32 bit address space. This will be done
with io_remap_pfn_range() and remap_pfn_range, which requieres a vm_area_struct.

723ad1d90b ("percpu: store offsets instead of lengths in ->map[]")
updated percpu area allocator to use the lowest bit, instead of sign,
to signify whether the area is occupied and forced min align to 2;
unfortunately, it forgot to force the allocation size to be even
causing malfunctions for the very rare odd-sized allocations.
Always force the allocations to be even sized.

We received several reports of bad page state when freeing CMA pages
previously allocated with alloc_contig_range:
BUG: Bad page state in process Binder_A pfn:63202
page:d21130b0 count:0 mapcount:1 mapping: (null) index:0x7dfbf
page flags: 0x40080068(uptodate|lru|active|swapbacked)
Based on the page state, it looks like the page was still in use. The
page flags do not make sense for the use case though. Further debugging
showed that despite alloc_contig_range returning success, at least one
page in the range still remained in the buddy allocator.
There is an issue with isolate_freepages_block. In strict mode (which
CMA uses), if any pages in the range cannot be isolated,
isolate_freepages_block should return failure 0. The current check
keeps track of the total number of isolated pages and compares against
the size of the range:
if (strict && nr_strict_required > total_isolated)
total_isolated = 0;
After taking the zone lock, if one of the pages in the range is not in
the buddy allocator, we continue through the loop and do not increment
total_isolated. If in the last iteration of the loop we isolate more
than one page (e.g. last page needed is a higher order page), the check
for total_isolated may pass and we fail to detect that a page was
skipped. The fix is to bail out if the loop immediately if we are in
strict mode. There's no benfit to continuing anyway since we need all
pages to be isolated. Additionally, drop the error checking based on
nr_strict_required and just check the pfn ranges. This matches with
what isolate_freepages_range does.
