Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
Removing the lower 2MB made the start of the lowmem zone to no longer be
page block aligned. IFC6410 uses CONFIG_FLATMEM where alloc_node_mem_map
allocates memory for the mem_map. alloc_node_mem_map will offset for
unaligned nodes with the assumption the pfn/page translation functions
will account for the offset. The functions for CONFIG_FLATMEM do not
offset however, resulting in overrunning the memmap array. Just use the
allocated memmap without any offset when running with CONFIG_FLATMEM to
avoid the overrun.

With x86_64 (config http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/config-akpm2.txt) and old gcc
(4.4.4), drivers/base/node.c:node_read_meminfo() is using 2344 bytes of
stack. Uninlining node_page_state() reduces this to 440 bytes.
The stack consumption issue is fixed by newer gcc (4.8.4) however with
that compiler this patch reduces the node.o text size from 7314 bytes to
4578.

Make __install_special_mapping() args order match the caller, so the
caller can pass their register args directly to callee with no touch.
For most of architectures, args (at least the first 5th args) are in
registers, so this change will have effect on most of architectures.
For -O2, __install_special_mapping() may be inlined under most of
architectures, but for -Os, it should not. So this change can get a
little better performance for -Os, at least.

(1) For !CONFIG_BUG cases, the bug call is a no-op, so we couldn't
care less and the change is ok.
(2) ppc and mips, which HAVE_ARCH_BUG_ON, do not rely on branch
predictions as it seems to be pointless[1] and thus callers should not
be trying to push an optimization in the first place.
(3) For CONFIG_BUG and !HAVE_ARCH_BUG_ON cases, BUG_ON() contains an
unlikely compiler flag already.
Hence, we can drop unlikely behind BUG_ON().

This came up when implementing HIHGMEM/PAE40 for ARC. The kmap() /
kmap_atomic() generated code seemed needlessly bloated due to the way
PageHighMem() macro is implemented. It derives the exact zone for page
and then does pointer subtraction with first zone to infer the zone_type.
The pointer arithmatic in turn generates the code bloat.
PageHighMem(page)
is_highmem(page_zone(page))
zone_off = (char *)zone - (char *)zone->zone_pgdat->node_zones
Instead use is_highmem_idx() to work on zone_type available in page flags

Both "child->mm == mm" and "p->mm != mm" checks in oom_kill_process() are
wrong. task->mm can be NULL if the task is the exited group leader. This
means in particular that "kill sharing same memory" loop can miss a
process with a zombie leader which uses the same ->mm.
Note: the process_has_mm(child, p->mm) check is still not 100% correct,
p->mm can be NULL too. This is minor, but probably deserves a fix or a
comment anyway.

The fatal_signal_pending() was added to suppress unnecessary "sharing same
memory" message, but it can't 100% help anyway because it can be
false-negative; SIGKILL can be already dequeued.
And worse, it can be false-positive due to exec or coredump. exec is
mostly fine, but coredump is not. It is possible that the group leader
has the pending SIGKILL because its sub-thread originated the coredump, in
this case we must not skip this process.
We could probably add the additional ->group_exit_task check but this
patch just removes the wrong check along with pr_info().

"mm->locked_vm += grow" and vm_stat_account() in acct_stack_growth() are
not safe; multiple threads using the same ->mm can do this at the same
time trying to expans different vma's under down_read(mmap_sem). This
means that one of the "locked_vm += grow" changes can be lost and we can
miss munlock_vma_pages_all() later.
Move this code into the caller(s) under mm->page_table_lock. All other
updates to ->locked_vm hold mmap_sem for writing.

In zone_reclaimable_pages(), `nr' is returned by a function which is
declared as returning "unsigned long", so declare it such. Negative
values are meaningless here.
In zone_pagecache_reclaimable() we should also declare `delta' and
`nr_pagecache_reclaimable' as being unsigned longs because they're used to
store the values returned by zone_page_state() and
zone_unmapped_file_pages() which also happen to return unsigned integers.

The oom killer takes task_lock() in a couple of places solely to protect
printing the task's comm.
A process's comm, including current's comm, may change due to
/proc/pid/comm or PR_SET_NAME.
The comm will always be NULL-terminated, so the worst race scenario would
only be during update. We can tolerate a comm being printed that is in
the middle of an update to avoid taking the lock.
Other locations in the kernel have already dropped task_lock() when
printing comm, so this is consistent.

Compaction returns prematurely with COMPACT_PARTIAL when contended or has
fatal signal pending. This is ok for the callers, but might be misleading
in the traces, as the usual reason to return COMPACT_PARTIAL is that we
think the allocation should succeed. After this patch we distinguish the
premature ending condition in the mm_compaction_finished and
mm_compaction_end tracepoints.
The contended status covers the following reasons:
- lock contention or need_resched() detected in async compaction
- fatal signal pending
- too many pages isolated in the zone (only for async compaction)
Further distinguishing the exact reason seems unnecessary for now.

Some compaction tracepoints use zone->name to print which zone is being
compacted. This works for in-kernel printing, but not userspace trace
printing of raw captured trace such as via trace-cmd report.
This patch uses zone_idx() instead of zone->name as the raw value, and
when printing, converts the zone_type to string using the appropriate EM()
macros and some ugly tricks to overcome the problem that half the values
depend on CONFIG_ options and one does not simply use #ifdef inside of
#define.

At the for_each_process() loop in oom_kill_process(), we are comparing
address of OOM victim's mm without holding a reference to that mm. If
there are a lot of processes to compare or a lot of "Kill process %d (%s)
sharing same memory" messages to print, for_each_process() loop could take
very long time.
It is possible that meanwhile the OOM victim exits and releases its mm,
and then mm is allocated with the same address and assigned to some
unrelated process. When we hit such race, the unrelated process will be
killed by error. To make sure that the OOM victim's mm does not go away
until for_each_process() loop finishes, get a reference on the OOM
victim's mm before calling task_unlock(victim).

It was confirmed that a local unprivileged user can consume all memory

sets TIF_MEMDIE on an OOM victim and sends SIGKILL to that victim, for
printk() inside for_each_process() loop at oom_kill_process() can consume
many seconds when there are many thread groups sharing the same memory.
Before starting oom-depleter process:

As of invoking the OOM killer:
Node 0 DMA: 11*4kB (UE) 8*8kB (UEM) 6*16kB (UE) 2*32kB (EM) 0*64kB 1*128kB (U) 3*256kB (UEM) 2*512kB (UE) 3*1024kB (UEM) 1*2048kB (U) 0*4096kB = 7308kB

Between the thread group leader got TIF_MEMDIE and receives SIGKILL:
Node 0 DMA: 0*4kB 0*8kB 0*16kB 0*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 0*256kB 0*512kB 0*1024kB 0*2048kB 0*4096kB = 0kB

The oom-depleter's thread group leader which got TIF_MEMDIE started
memset() in user space after the OOM killer set TIF_MEMDIE, and it was
free to abuse ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS by TIF_MEMDIE for memset() in user space
until SIGKILL is delivered. If SIGKILL is delivered before TIF_MEMDIE is
set, the oom-depleter can terminate without touching memory reserves.
Although the possibility of hitting this time lag is very small for 3.19
and earlier kernels because TIF_MEMDIE is set immediately before sending
SIGKILL, preemption or long interrupts (an extreme example is SysRq-t) can
step between and allow memory allocations which are not needed for
terminating the OOM victim.

Since commit 6539cc0538 ("mm: memcontrol: fold mem_cgroup_do_charge()"),
the order to pass to mem_cgroup_oom() is calculated by passing the

AFAICT, it only affects the value displayed in the oom warning message.
This patch fix this.

Currently kernel prints out results of every single unpoison event, which

2= 56 bytes is added, so it's a win.

filemap_fdatawait() is a function to wait for on-going writeback to
complete but also consume and clear error status of the mapping set during
writeback.
The latter functionality is critical for applications to detect writeback
error with system calls like fsync(2)/fdatasync(2).
However filemap_fdatawait() is also used by sync(2) or FIFREEZE ioctl,
which don't check error status of individual mappings.
As a result, fsync() may not be able to detect writeback error if events
happen in the following order:
Application System admin
----------------------------------------------------------
write data on page cache
Run sync command
writeback completes with error
filemap_fdatawait() clears error
fsync returns success
(but the data is not on disk)
This patch adds filemap_fdatawait_keep_errors() for call sites where
writeback error is not handled so that they don't clear error status.

Currently there's no easy way to get per-process usage of hugetlb pages,
which is inconvenient because userspace applications which use hugetlb
typically want to control their processes on the basis of how much memory
(including hugetlb) they use. So this patch simply provides easy access
to the info via /proc/PID/status.

Maximal readahead size is limited now by two values:
1) by global 2Mb constant (MAX_READAHEAD in max_sane_readahead())
2) by configurable per-device value* (bdi->ra_pages)
There are devices, which require custom readahead limit.
For instance, for RAIDs it's calculated as number of devices
multiplied by chunk size times 2.
Readahead size can never be larger than bdi->ra_pages * 2 value
(POSIX_FADV_SEQUNTIAL doubles readahead size).
If so, why do we need two limits?
I suggest to completely remove this max_sane_readahead() stuff and
use per-device readahead limit everywhere.
Also, using right readahead size for RAID disks can significantly
increase i/o performance:
before:
dd if=/dev/md2 of=/dev/null bs=100M count=100
100+0 records in
100+0 records out
10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 12.9741 s, 808 MB/s
after:
$ dd if=/dev/md2 of=/dev/null bs=100M count=100
100+0 records in
100+0 records out
10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 8.91317 s, 1.2 GB/s
(It's an 8-disks RAID5 storage).
This patch doesn't change sys_readahead and madvise(MADV_WILLNEED)
behavior introduced by 6d2be915e5 ("mm/readahead.c: fix readahead
failure for memoryless NUMA nodes and limit readahead pages").

Commit a2f3aa0257 ("[PATCH] Fix sparsemem on Cell") fixed an oops
experienced on the Cell architecture when init-time functions,
early_*(), are called at runtime by introducing an 'enum memmap_context'
parameter to memmap_init_zone() and init_currently_empty_zone(). This
parameter is intended to be used to tell whether the call of these two
functions is being made on behalf of a hotplug event, or happening at
boot-time. However, init_currently_empty_zone() does not use this
parameter at all, so remove it.

With the setup_nr_nodes(), we have already initialized
node_possible_map. So it is safe to use for_each_node here.
There are many places in the kernel that use hardcoded 'for' loop with
nr_node_ids, because all other architectures have numa nodes populated
serially. That should be reason we had maintained the same for
powerpc.
But, since sparse numa node ids possible on powerpc, we unnecessarily
allocate memory for non existent numa nodes.
For e.g., on a system with 0,1,16,17 as numa nodes nr_node_ids=18 and
we allocate memory for nodes 2-14. This patch we allocate memory for
only existing numa nodes.
The patch is boot tested on a 4 node tuleta, confirming with printks
that it works as expected.

The functions used in the patch are in slowpath, which gets called
whenever alloc_super is called during mounts.
Though this should not make difference for the architectures with
sequential numa node ids, for the powerpc which can potentially have
sparse node ids (for e.g., 4 node system having numa ids, 0,1,16,17 is
common), this patch saves some unnecessary allocations for non existing
numa nodes.
Even without that saving, perhaps patch makes code more readable.

__memcg_kmem_bypass() decides whether a kmem allocation should be bypassed
to the root memcg. Some conditions that it tests are valid criteria
regarding who should be held accountable; however, there are a couple
unnecessary tests for cold paths - __GFP_FAIL and fatal_signal_pending().
The previous patch updated try_charge() to handle both __GFP_FAIL and
dying tasks correctly and the only thing these two tests are doing is
making accounting less accurate and sprinkling tests for cold path
conditions in the hot paths. There's nothing meaningful gained by these
extra tests.
This patch removes the two unnecessary tests from __memcg_kmem_bypass().

try_charge() is the main charging logic of memcg. When it hits the limit
but either can't fail the allocation due to __GFP_NOFAIL or the task is
likely to free memory very soon, being OOM killed, has SIGKILL pending or
exiting, it "bypasses" the charge to the root memcg and returns -EINTR.
While this is one approach which can be taken for these situations, it has
several issues.
* It unnecessarily lies about the reality. The number itself doesn't
go over the limit but the actual usage does. memcg is either forced
to or actively chooses to go over the limit because that is the
right behavior under the circumstances, which is completely fine,
but, if at all avoidable, it shouldn't be misrepresenting what's
happening by sneaking the charges into the root memcg.
* Despite trying, we already do over-charge. kmemcg can't deal with
switching over to the root memcg by the point try_charge() returns
-EINTR, so it open-codes over-charing.
* It complicates the callers. Each try_charge() user has to handle
the weird -EINTR exception. memcg_charge_kmem() does the manual
over-charging. mem_cgroup_do_precharge() performs unnecessary
uncharging of root memcg, which BTW is inconsistent with what
memcg_charge_kmem() does but not broken as [un]charging are noops on
root memcg. mem_cgroup_try_charge() needs to switch the returned
cgroup to the root one.
The reality is that in memcg there are cases where we are forced and/or
willing to go over the limit. Each such case needs to be scrutinized and
justified but there definitely are situations where that is the right
thing to do. We alredy do this but with a superficial and inconsistent
disguise which leads to unnecessary complications.
This patch updates try_charge() so that it over-charges and returns 0 when
deemed necessary. -EINTR return is removed along with all special case
handling in the callers.
While at it, remove the local variable @ret, which was initialized to zero
and never changed, along with done: label which just returned the always
zero @ret.
