Mel Gorman c61109e34f mm: numa: Sanitize task_numa_fault() callsites
There are three callers of task_numa_fault():

 - do_huge_pmd_numa_page():
     Accounts against the current node, not the node where the
     page resides, unless we migrated, in which case it accounts
     against the node we migrated to.

 - do_numa_page():
     Accounts against the current node, not the node where the
     page resides, unless we migrated, in which case it accounts
     against the node we migrated to.

 - do_pmd_numa_page():
     Accounts not at all when the page isn't migrated, otherwise
     accounts against the node we migrated towards.

This seems wrong to me; all three sites should have the same
sementaics, furthermore we should accounts against where the page
really is, we already know where the task is.

So modify all three sites to always account; we did after all receive
the fault; and always account to where the page is after migration,
regardless of success.

They all still differ on when they clear the PTE/PMD; ideally that
would get sorted too.

Mel Gorman 587fe586f4 mm: Prevent parallel splits during THP migration
THP migrations are serialised by the page lock but on its own that does
not prevent THP splits. If the page is split during THP migration then
the pmd_same checks will prevent page table corruption but the unlock page
and other fix-ups potentially will cause corruption. This patch takes the
anon_vma lock to prevent parallel splits during migration.

Mel Gorman 42836f5f8b mm: Wait for THP migrations to complete during NUMA hinting faults
The locking for migrating THP is unusual. While normal page migration
prevents parallel accesses using a migration PTE, THP migration relies on
a combination of the page_table_lock, the page lock and the existance of
the NUMA hinting PTE to guarantee safety but there is a bug in the scheme.

If a THP page is currently being migrated and another thread traps a
fault on the same page it checks if the page is misplaced. If it is not,
then pmd_numa is cleared. The problem is that it checks if the page is
misplaced without holding the page lock meaning that the racing thread
can be migrating the THP when the second thread clears the NUMA bit
and faults a stale page.

This patch checks if the page is potentially being migrated and stalls
using the lock_page if it is potentially being migrated before checking
if the page is misplaced or not.

Roman Bobniev d56791b38e slub: proper kmemleak tracking if CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG disabled
Move all kmemleak calls into hook functions, and make it so
that all hooks (both inside and outside of #ifdef CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG)
call the appropriate kmemleak routines.  This allows for kmemleak
to be configured independently of slub debug features.

It also fixes a bug where kmemleak was only partially enabled in some
configurations.

After this change, slabp_cache and slab_size no longer related to

Joonsoo Kim b1cb0982bd slab: change the management method of free objects of the slab
Current free objects management method of the slab is weird, because
it touch random position of the array of kmem_bufctl_t when we try to
get free object. See following example.

struct slab's free = 6
kmem_bufctl_t array: 1 END 5 7 0 4 3 2

To get free objects, we access this array with following pattern.
6 -> 3 -> 7 -> 2 -> 5 -> 4 -> 0 -> 1 -> END

If we have many objects, this array would be larger and be not in the same
cache line. It is not good for performance.

We can do same thing through more easy way, like as the stack.
Only thing we have to do is to maintain stack top to free object. I use
free field of struct slab for this purpose. After that, if we need to get
an object, we can get it at stack top and manipulate top pointer.
That's all. This method already used in array_cache management.
Following is an access pattern when we use this method.

struct slab's free = 0
kmem_bufctl_t array: 6 3 7 2 5 4 0 1

To get free objects, we access this array with following pattern.
0 -> 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 7

This may help cache line footprint if slab has many objects, and,
in addition, this makes code much much simpler.

Joonsoo Kim 73293c2f90 slab: correct pfmemalloc check
We checked pfmemalloc by slab unit, not page unit. You can see this
in is_slab_pfmemalloc(). So other pages don't need to be set/cleared
pfmemalloc.

And, therefore we should check pfmemalloc in page flag of first page,
but current implementation don't do that. virt_to_head_page(obj) just
return 'struct page' of that object, not one of first page, since the SLAB
don't use __GFP_COMP when CONFIG_MMU. To get 'struct page' of first page,
we first get a slab and try to get it via virt_to_head_page(slab->s_mem).

The original code was correct: pud_alloc(), pmd_alloc(), pte_alloc_map()
ensure that the pud, pmd, pt is already allocated, and seldom do they
need to allocate; on failure, upper levels are freed if appropriate by
the subsequent do_munmap().  Whereas commit 1ecfd533f4 did an
unconditional pud_free() of a most-likely still-in-use pud: saved only
by the near-impossiblity of pmd_alloc() failing.

Krzysztof Kozlowski 5b808a2300 swap: fix set_blocksize race during swapon/swapoff
Fix race between swapoff and swapon.  Swapoff used old_block_size from
swap_info outside of swapon_mutex so it could be overwritten by
concurrent swapon.

The race has visible effect only if more than one swap block device
exists with different block sizes (e.g.  /dev/sda1 with block size 4096
and /dev/sdb1 with 512).  In such case it leads to setting the blocksize
of swapped off device with wrong blocksize.

The bug can be triggered with multiple concurrent swapoff and swapon:
0. Swap for some device is on.
1. swapoff:
First the swapoff is called on this device and "struct swap_info_struct
*p" is assigned. This is done under swap_lock however this lock is
released for the call try_to_unuse().

2. swapon:
After the assignment above (and before acquiring swapon_mutex &
swap_lock by swapoff) the swapon is called on the same device.
The p->old_block_size is assigned to the value of block_size the device.
This block size should be the same as previous but sometimes it is not.
The swapon ends successfully.

3. swapoff:
Swapoff resumes, grabs the locks and mutex and continues to disable this
swap device. Now it sets the block size to value taken from swap_info
which was overwritten by swapon in 2.

Fengguang Wu e3b6c655b9 writeback: fix negative bdi max pause
Toralf runs trinity on UML/i386.  After some time it hangs and the last
message line is

	BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [trinity-child0:1521]

It's found that pages_dirtied becomes very large.  More than 1000000000
pages in this case:

	period = HZ * pages_dirtied / task_ratelimit;
	BUG_ON(pages_dirtied > 2000000000);
	BUG_ON(pages_dirtied > 1000000000);      <---------

UML debug printf shows that we got negative pause here:

	ick: pause : -984
	ick: pages_dirtied : 0
	ick: task_ratelimit: 0

	 pause:
	+       if (pause < 0)  {
	+               extern int printf(char *, ...);
	+               printf("ick : pause : %li\n", pause);
	+               printf("ick: pages_dirtied : %lu\n", pages_dirtied);
	+               printf("ick: task_ratelimit: %lu\n", task_ratelimit);
	+               BUG_ON(1);
	+       }
	        trace_balance_dirty_pages(bdi,

Since pause is bounded by [min_pause, max_pause] where min_pause is also
bounded by max_pause.  It's suspected and demonstrated that the
max_pause calculation goes wrong:

	ick: pause : -717
	ick: min_pause : -177
	ick: max_pause : -717
	ick: pages_dirtied : 14
	ick: task_ratelimit: 0

The problem lies in the two "long = unsigned long" assignments in
bdi_max_pause() which might go negative if the highest bit is 1, and the
min_t(long, ...) check failed to protect it falling under 0.  Fix all of
them by using "unsigned long" throughout the function.

Johannes Weiner 84235de394 fs: buffer: move allocation failure loop into the allocator
Buffer allocation has a very crude indefinite loop around waking the
flusher threads and performing global NOFS direct reclaim because it can
not handle allocation failures.

The most immediate problem with this is that the allocation may fail due
to a memory cgroup limit, where flushers + direct reclaim might not make
any progress towards resolving the situation at all.  Because unlike the
global case, a memory cgroup may not have any cache at all, only
anonymous pages but no swap.  This situation will lead to a reclaim
livelock with insane IO from waking the flushers and thrashing unrelated
filesystem cache in a tight loop.

Use __GFP_NOFAIL allocations for buffers for now.  This makes sure that
any looping happens in the page allocator, which knows how to
orchestrate kswapd, direct reclaim, and the flushers sensibly.  It also
allows memory cgroups to detect allocations that can't handle failure
and will allow them to ultimately bypass the limit if reclaim can not
make progress.

Johannes Weiner 4942642080 mm: memcg: handle non-error OOM situations more gracefully
Commit 3812c8c8f3 ("mm: memcg: do not trap chargers with full
callstack on OOM") assumed that only a few places that can trigger a
memcg OOM situation do not return VM_FAULT_OOM, like optional page cache
readahead.  But there are many more and it's impractical to annotate
them all.

First of all, we don't want to invoke the OOM killer when the failed
allocation is gracefully handled, so defer the actual kill to the end of
the fault handling as well.  This simplifies the code quite a bit for
added bonus.

Second, since a failed allocation might not be the abrupt end of the
fault, the memcg OOM handler needs to be re-entrant until the fault
finishes for subsequent allocation attempts.  If an allocation is
attempted after the task already OOMed, allow it to bypass the limit so
that it can quickly finish the fault and invoke the OOM killer.

Andrea Arcangeli ef5a22be2c mm: hugetlb: initialize PG_reserved for tail pages of gigantic compound pages
Commit 11feeb4980 ("kvm: optimize away THP checks in
kvm_is_mmio_pfn()") introduced a memory leak when KVM is run on gigantic
compound pages.

That commit depends on the assumption that PG_reserved is identical for
all head and tail pages of a compound page.  So that if get_user_pages
returns a tail page, we don't need to check the head page in order to
know if we deal with a reserved page that requires different
refcounting.

The assumption that PG_reserved is the same for head and tail pages is
certainly correct for THP and regular hugepages, but gigantic hugepages
allocated through bootmem don't clear the PG_reserved on the tail pages
(the clearing of PG_reserved is done later only if the gigantic hugepage
is freed).

This patch corrects the gigantic compound page initialization so that we
can retain the optimization in 11feeb4980.  The cacheline was already
modified in order to set PG_tail so this won't affect the boot time of
large memory systems.

Subject: mm/zswap: bugfix: memory leak when invalidate and reclaim occur concurrently

Consider the following scenario:
thread 0: reclaim entry x (get refcount, but not call zswap_get_swap_cache_page)
thread 1: call zswap_frontswap_invalidate_page to invalidate entry x.
	finished, entry x and its zbud is not freed as its refcount != 0
	now, the swap_map[x] = 0
thread 0: now call zswap_get_swap_cache_page
	swapcache_prepare return -ENOENT because entry x is not used any more
	zswap_get_swap_cache_page return ZSWAP_SWAPCACHE_NOMEM
	zswap_writeback_entry do nothing except put refcount
Now, the memory of zswap_entry x and its zpage leak.

Modify:
 - check the refcount in fail path, free memory if it is not referenced.

 - use ZSWAP_SWAPCACHE_FAIL instead of ZSWAP_SWAPCACHE_NOMEM as the fail path
   can be not only caused by nomem but also by invalidate.

We should clear the page's private flag when returing the page to the
hugepage pool.  Otherwise, marked hugepage can be allocated to the user
who tries to allocate the non-reserved hugepage.  If this user fail to

Since this page has a private flag, resv_huge_pages would mistakenly

David Rientjes 9c56751271 mm, memcg: protect mem_cgroup_read_events for cpu hotplug
for_each_online_cpu() needs the protection of {get,put}_online_cpus() so
cpu_online_mask doesn't change during the iteration.

cpu_hotplug.lock is held while a cpu is going down, it's a coarse lock
that is used kernel-wide to synchronize cpu hotplug activity.  Memcg has
a cpu hotplug notifier, called while there may not be any cpu hotplug
refcounts, which drains per-cpu event counts to memcg->nocpu_base.events
to maintain a cumulative event count as cpus disappear.  Without
get_online_cpus() in mem_cgroup_read_events(), it's possible to account
for the event count on a dying cpu twice, and this value may be
significantly large.

In fact, all memcg->pcp_counter_lock use should be nested by
{get,put}_online_cpus().

This fixes that issue and ensures the reported statistics are not vastly
over-reported during cpu hotplug.

Rik van Riel de1c9ce6f0 sched/numa: Skip some page migrations after a shared fault
Shared faults can lead to lots of unnecessary page migrations,
slowing down the system, and causing private faults to hit the
per-pgdat migration ratelimit.

This patch adds sysctl numa_balancing_migrate_deferred, which specifies
how many shared page migrations to skip unconditionally, after each page
migration that is skipped because it is a shared fault.

This reduces the number of page migrations back and forth in
shared fault situations. It also gives a strong preference to
the tasks that are already running where most of the memory is,
and to moving the other tasks to near the memory.

Testing this with a much higher scan rate than the default
still seems to result in fewer page migrations than before.

Memory seems to be somewhat better consolidated than previously,
with multi-instance specjbb runs on a 4 node system.

Mel Gorman 0f19c17929 mm: numa: Do not batch handle PMD pages
With the THP migration races closed it is still possible to occasionally
see corruption. The problem is related to handling PMD pages in batch.
When a page fault is handled it can be assumed that the page being
faulted will also be flushed from the TLB. The same flushing does not
happen when handling PMD pages in batch. Fixing is straight forward but
there are a number of reasons not to

1. Multiple TLB flushes may have to be sent depending on what pages get
   migrated
2. The handling of PMDs in batch means that faults get accounted to
   the task that is handling the fault. While care is taken to only
   mark PMDs where the last CPU and PID match it can still have problems
   due to PID truncation when matching PIDs.
3. Batching on the PMD level may reduce faults but setting pmd_numa
   requires taking a heavy lock that can contend with THP migration
   and handling the fault requires the release/acquisition of the PTL
   for every page migrated. It's still pretty heavy.

PMD batch handling is not something that people ever have been happy
with. This patch removes it and later patches will deal with the
additional fault overhead using more installigent migrate rate adaption.

Peter Zijlstra 8c8a743c50 sched/numa: Use {cpu, pid} to create task groups for shared faults
While parallel applications tend to align their data on the cache
boundary, they tend not to align on the page or THP boundary.
Consequently tasks that partition their data can still "false-share"
pages presenting a problem for optimal NUMA placement.

This patch uses NUMA hinting faults to chain tasks together into
numa_groups. As well as storing the NID a task was running on when
accessing a page a truncated representation of the faulting PID is
stored. If subsequent faults are from different PIDs it is reasonable
to assume that those two tasks share a page and are candidates for
being grouped together. Note that this patch makes no scheduling
decisions based on the grouping information.

Rik van Riel 6fe6b2d6da sched/numa: Do not migrate memory immediately after switching node
The load balancer can move tasks between nodes and does not take NUMA
locality into account. With automatic NUMA balancing this may result in the
tasks working set being migrated to the new node. However, as the fault
buffer will still store faults from the old node the schduler may decide to
reset the preferred node and migrate the task back resulting in more
migrations.

The ideal would be that the scheduler did not migrate tasks with a heavy
memory footprint but this may result nodes being overloaded. We could
also discard the fault information on task migration but this would still
cause all the tasks working set to be migrated. This patch simply avoids
migrating the memory for a short time after a task is migrated.

Mel Gorman b795854b1f sched/numa: Set preferred NUMA node based on number of private faults
Ideally it would be possible to distinguish between NUMA hinting faults that
are private to a task and those that are shared. If treated identically
there is a risk that shared pages bounce between nodes depending on
the order they are referenced by tasks. Ultimately what is desirable is
that task private pages remain local to the task while shared pages are
interleaved between sharing tasks running on different nodes to give good
average performance. This is further complicated by THP as even
applications that partition their data may not be partitioning on a huge
page boundary.

To start with, this patch assumes that multi-threaded or multi-process
applications partition their data and that in general the private accesses
are more important for cpu->memory locality in the general case. Also,
no new infrastructure is required to treat private pages properly but
interleaving for shared pages requires additional infrastructure.

To detect private accesses the pid of the last accessing task is required
but the storage requirements are a high. This patch borrows heavily from
Ingo Molnar's patch "numa, mm, sched: Implement last-CPU+PID hash tracking"
to encode some bits from the last accessing task in the page flags as
well as the node information. Collisions will occur but it is better than
just depending on the node information. Node information is then used to
determine if a page needs to migrate. The PID information is used to detect
private/shared accesses. The preferred NUMA node is selected based on where
the maximum number of approximately private faults were measured. Shared
faults are not taken into consideration for a few reasons.

First, if there are many tasks sharing the page then they'll all move
towards the same node. The node will be compute overloaded and then
scheduled away later only to bounce back again. Alternatively the shared
tasks would just bounce around nodes because the fault information is
effectively noise. Either way accounting for shared faults the same as
private faults can result in lower performance overall.

The second reason is based on a hypothetical workload that has a small
number of very important, heavily accessed private pages but a large shared
array. The shared array would dominate the number of faults and be selected
as a preferred node even though it's the wrong decision.

The third reason is that multiple threads in a process will race each
other to fault the shared page making the fault information unreliable.

Mel Gorman 1bc115d87d mm: numa: Scan pages with elevated page_mapcount
Currently automatic NUMA balancing is unable to distinguish between false
shared versus private pages except by ignoring pages with an elevated
page_mapcount entirely. This avoids shared pages bouncing between the
nodes whose task is using them but that is ignored quite a lot of data.

This patch kicks away the training wheels in preparation for adding support
for identifying shared/private pages is now in place. The ordering is so
that the impact of the shared/private detection can be easily measured. Note
that the patch does not migrate shared, file-backed within vmas marked
VM_EXEC as these are generally shared library pages. Migrating such pages
is not beneficial as there is an expectation they are read-shared between
caches and iTLB and iCache pressure is generally low.

The zero page is not replicated between nodes and is often shared between
processes. The data is read-only and likely to be cached in local CPUs
if heavily accessed meaning that the remote memory access cost is less
of a concern. This patch prevents trapping faults on the zero pages. For
tasks using the zero page this will reduce the number of PTE updates,
TLB flushes and hinting faults.

Mel Gorman a54a407fbf mm: Close races between THP migration and PMD numa clearing
THP migration uses the page lock to guard against parallel allocations
but there are cases like this still open

  Task A					Task B
  ---------------------				---------------------
  do_huge_pmd_numa_page				do_huge_pmd_numa_page
  lock_page
  mpol_misplaced == -1
  unlock_page
  goto clear_pmdnuma
						lock_page
						mpol_misplaced == 2
						migrate_misplaced_transhuge
  pmd = pmd_mknonnuma
  set_pmd_at

During hours of testing, one crashed with weird errors and while I have
no direct evidence, I suspect something like the race above happened.
This patch extends the page lock to being held until the pmd_numa is
cleared to prevent migration starting in parallel while the pmd_numa is
being cleared. It also flushes the old pmd entry and orders pagetable
insertion before rmap insertion.

Mel Gorman 8191acbd30 mm: numa: Sanitize task_numa_fault() callsites
There are three callers of task_numa_fault():

 - do_huge_pmd_numa_page():
     Accounts against the current node, not the node where the
     page resides, unless we migrated, in which case it accounts
     against the node we migrated to.

 - do_numa_page():
     Accounts against the current node, not the node where the
     page resides, unless we migrated, in which case it accounts
     against the node we migrated to.

 - do_pmd_numa_page():
     Accounts not at all when the page isn't migrated, otherwise
     accounts against the node we migrated towards.

This seems wrong to me; all three sites should have the same
sementaics, furthermore we should accounts against where the page
really is, we already know where the task is.

So modify all three sites to always account; we did after all receive
the fault; and always account to where the page is after migration,
regardless of success.

They all still differ on when they clear the PTE/PMD; ideally that
would get sorted too.

Mel Gorman ff9042b11a mm: Wait for THP migrations to complete during NUMA hinting faults
The locking for migrating THP is unusual. While normal page migration
prevents parallel accesses using a migration PTE, THP migration relies on
a combination of the page_table_lock, the page lock and the existance of
the NUMA hinting PTE to guarantee safety but there is a bug in the scheme.

If a THP page is currently being migrated and another thread traps a
fault on the same page it checks if the page is misplaced. If it is not,
then pmd_numa is cleared. The problem is that it checks if the page is
misplaced without holding the page lock meaning that the racing thread
can be migrating the THP when the second thread clears the NUMA bit
and faults a stale page.

This patch checks if the page is potentially being migrated and stalls
using the lock_page if it is potentially being migrated before checking
if the page is misplaced or not.

Previous commit 46723bfa540... introduced a new config option
HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE that ended up breaking memory hot-remove for ppc
when sparse vmemmap is not defined.

This patch defines HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE for ppc and adds the call to
register_page_bootmem_info_node. Without this we get a BUG_ON for memory
hot remove in put_page_bootmem().

This also adds a stub for register_page_bootmem_memmap to allow ppc to build
with sparse vmemmap defined. Leaving this as a stub is fine since the same
vmemmap addresses are also handled in vmemmap_populate and as such are
properly mapped.

Vlastimil Babka eadb41ae82 mm/mlock.c: prevent walking off the end of a pagetable in no-pmd configuration
The function __munlock_pagevec_fill() introduced in commit 7a8010cd36
("mm: munlock: manual pte walk in fast path instead of
follow_page_mask()") uses pmd_addr_end() for restricting its operation
within current page table.

This is insufficient on architectures/configurations where pmd is folded
and pmd_addr_end() just returns the end of the full range to be walked.
In this case, it allows pte++ to walk off the end of a page table
resulting in unpredictable behaviour.

This patch fixes the function by using pgd_addr_end() and pud_addr_end()
before pmd_addr_end(), which will yield correct page table boundary on
all configurations.  This is similar to what existing page walkers do
when walking each level of the page table.

Additionaly, the patch clarifies a comment for get_locked_pte() call in the
function.

  Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

This patch fixes the issue, by assuring the proper tests are made at
putback_movable_pages() & reclaim_clean_pages_from_list() to avoid
isolated balloon pages being wrongly reinserted in LRU lists.

Darrick J. Wong 83b2944fd2 mm/bounce.c: fix a regression where MS_SNAP_STABLE (stable pages snapshotting) was ignored
The "force" parameter in __blk_queue_bounce was being ignored, which
means that stable page snapshots are not always happening (on ext3).
This of course leads to DIF disks reporting checksum errors, so fix this
regression.

The regression was introduced in commit 6bc454d150 ("bounce: Refactor
__blk_queue_bounce to not use bi_io_vec")

David Rientjes f6ea3adb70 mm/compaction.c: periodically schedule when freeing pages
We've been getting warnings about an excessive amount of time spent
allocating pages for migration during memory compaction without
scheduling.  isolate_freepages_block() already periodically checks for
contended locks or the need to schedule, but isolate_freepages() never
does.

When a zone is massively long and no suitable targets can be found, this
iteration can be quite expensive without ever doing cond_resched().

Check periodically for the need to reschedule while the compaction free
scanner iterates.

Joonyoung Shim 7393dc45f6 revert "mm/memory-hotplug: fix lowmem count overflow when offline pages"
This reverts commit cea27eb2a2 ("mm/memory-hotplug: fix lowmem count
overflow when offline pages").

The fixed bug by commit cea27eb was fixed to another way by commit
3dcc0571cd ("mm: correctly update zone->managed_pages").  That commit
enhances memory_hotplug.c to adjust totalhigh_pages when hot-removing
memory, for details please refer to:

  http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=136957578620221&w=2

As a result, commit cea27eb2a2 currently causes duplicated decreasing
of totalhigh_pages, thus the revert.

Christoph Lameter 3e374919b3 slab_common: Do not check for duplicate slab names
SLUB can alias multiple slab kmem_create_requests to one slab cache to save
memory and increase the cache hotness. As a result the name of the slab can be
stale. Only check the name for duplicates if we are in debug mode where we do
not merge multiple caches.

This fixes the following problem reported by Jonathan Brassow:

  The problem with kmem_cache* is this:

  *) Assume CONFIG_SLUB is set
  1) kmem_cache_create(name="foo-a")
  - creates new kmem_cache structure
  2) kmem_cache_create(name="foo-b")
  - If identical cache characteristics, it will be merged with the previously
    created cache associated with "foo-a".  The cache's refcount will be
    incremented and an alias will be created via sysfs_slab_alias().
  3) kmem_cache_destroy(<ptr>)
  - Attempting to destroy cache associated with "foo-a", but instead the
    refcount is simply decremented.  I don't even think the sysfs aliases are
    ever removed...
  4) kmem_cache_create(name="foo-a")
  - This FAILS because kmem_cache_sanity_check colides with the existing
    name ("foo-a") associated with the non-removed cache.

  This is a problem for RAID (specifically dm-raid) because the name used
  for the kmem_cache_create is ("raid%d-%p", level, mddev).  If the cache
  persists for long enough, the memory address of an old mddev will be
  reused for a new mddev - causing an identical formulation of the cache
  name.  Even though kmem_cache_destory had long ago been used to delete
  the old cache, the merging of caches has cause the name and cache of that
  old instance to be preserved and causes a colision (and thus failure) in
  kmem_cache_create().  I see this regularly in my testing.

Paul E. McKenney 22356f447c mm: Place preemption point in do_mlockall() loop
There is a loop in do_mlockall() that lacks a preemption point, which

 "My fuzz tester keeps hitting this.  Every instance shows the non-irq

  that has more ram (8gb) than my other machines, which might explain
  it.

allocated memory is not released correctly. In the release loop also
the non-allocated elements are released which leads to the following

David Rientjes 17766dde36 mm, thp: count thp_fault_fallback anytime thp fault fails
Currently, thp_fault_fallback in vmstat only gets incremented if a
hugepage allocation fails.  If current's memcg hits its limit or the page
fault handler returns an error, it is incorrectly accounted as a
successful thp_fault_alloc.

Count thp_fault_fallback anytime the page fault handler falls back to
using regular pages and only count thp_fault_alloc when a hugepage has
actually been faulted.

pagevecs and they really, really don't want to be interrupted, or they

Sha Zhengju 3ea67d06e4 memcg: add per cgroup writeback pages accounting
Add memcg routines to count writeback pages, later dirty pages will also
be accounted.

After Kame's commit 89c06bd52f ("memcg: use new logic for page stat
accounting"), we can use 'struct page' flag to test page state instead
of per page_cgroup flag.  But memcg has a feature to move a page from a
cgroup to another one and may have race between "move" and "page stat
accounting".  So in order to avoid the race we have designed a new lock:

         mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()
         modify page information        -->(a)
         mem_cgroup_update_page_stat()  -->(b)
         mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat()

It requires both (a) and (b)(writeback pages accounting) to be pretected
in mem_cgroup_{begin/end}_update_page_stat().  It's full no-op for
!CONFIG_MEMCG, almost no-op if memcg is disabled (but compiled in), rcu
read lock in the most cases (no task is moving), and spin_lock_irqsave
on top in the slow path.

There're two writeback interfaces to modify: test_{clear/set}_page_writeback().
And the lock order is:
	--> memcg->move_lock
	  --> mapping->tree_lock

Johannes Weiner 3812c8c8f3 mm: memcg: do not trap chargers with full callstack on OOM
The memcg OOM handling is incredibly fragile and can deadlock.  When a
task fails to charge memory, it invokes the OOM killer and loops right
there in the charge code until it succeeds.  Comparably, any other task
that enters the charge path at this point will go to a waitqueue right
then and there and sleep until the OOM situation is resolved.  The problem
is that these tasks may hold filesystem locks and the mmap_sem; locks that
the selected OOM victim may need to exit.

For example, in one reported case, the task invoking the OOM killer was
about to charge a page cache page during a write(), which holds the
i_mutex.  The OOM killer selected a task that was just entering truncate()
and trying to acquire the i_mutex:

OOM invoking task:
  mem_cgroup_handle_oom+0x241/0x3b0
  mem_cgroup_cache_charge+0xbe/0xe0
  add_to_page_cache_locked+0x4c/0x140
  add_to_page_cache_lru+0x22/0x50
  grab_cache_page_write_begin+0x8b/0xe0
  ext3_write_begin+0x88/0x270
  generic_file_buffered_write+0x116/0x290
  __generic_file_aio_write+0x27c/0x480
  generic_file_aio_write+0x76/0xf0           # takes ->i_mutex
  do_sync_write+0xea/0x130
  vfs_write+0xf3/0x1f0
  sys_write+0x51/0x90
  system_call_fastpath+0x18/0x1d

OOM kill victim:
  do_truncate+0x58/0xa0              # takes i_mutex
  do_last+0x250/0xa30
  path_openat+0xd7/0x440
  do_filp_open+0x49/0xa0
  do_sys_open+0x106/0x240
  sys_open+0x20/0x30
  system_call_fastpath+0x18/0x1d

The OOM handling task will retry the charge indefinitely while the OOM
killed task is not releasing any resources.

A similar scenario can happen when the kernel OOM killer for a memcg is
disabled and a userspace task is in charge of resolving OOM situations.
In this case, ALL tasks that enter the OOM path will be made to sleep on
the OOM waitqueue and wait for userspace to free resources or increase
the group's limit.  But a userspace OOM handler is prone to deadlock
itself on the locks held by the waiting tasks.  For example one of the
sleeping tasks may be stuck in a brk() call with the mmap_sem held for
writing but the userspace handler, in order to pick an optimal victim,
may need to read files from /proc/<pid>, which tries to acquire the same
mmap_sem for reading and deadlocks.

This patch changes the way tasks behave after detecting a memcg OOM and
makes sure nobody loops or sleeps with locks held:

1. When OOMing in a user fault, invoke the OOM killer and restart the
   fault instead of looping on the charge attempt.  This way, the OOM
   victim can not get stuck on locks the looping task may hold.

2. When OOMing in a user fault but somebody else is handling it
   (either the kernel OOM killer or a userspace handler), don't go to
   sleep in the charge context.  Instead, remember the OOMing memcg in
   the task struct and then fully unwind the page fault stack with
   -ENOMEM.  pagefault_out_of_memory() will then call back into the
   memcg code to check if the -ENOMEM came from the memcg, and then
   either put the task to sleep on the memcg's OOM waitqueue or just
   restart the fault.  The OOM victim can no longer get stuck on any
   lock a sleeping task may hold.

Johannes Weiner fb2a6fc56b mm: memcg: rework and document OOM waiting and wakeup
The memcg OOM handler open-codes a sleeping lock for OOM serialization
(trylock, wait, repeat) because the required locking is so specific to
memcg hierarchies.  However, it would be nice if this construct would be
clearly recognizable and not be as obfuscated as it is right now.  Clean
up as follows:

1. Remove the return value of mem_cgroup_oom_unlock()

2. Rename mem_cgroup_oom_lock() to mem_cgroup_oom_trylock().

3. Pull the prepare_to_wait() out of the memcg_oom_lock scope.  This
   makes it more obvious that the task has to be on the waitqueue
   before attempting to OOM-trylock the hierarchy, to not miss any
   wakeups before going to sleep.  It just didn't matter until now
   because it was all lumped together into the global memcg_oom_lock
   spinlock section.

4. Pull the mem_cgroup_oom_notify() out of the memcg_oom_lock scope.
   It is proctected by the hierarchical OOM-lock.

5. The memcg_oom_lock spinlock is only required to propagate the OOM
   lock in any given hierarchy atomically.  Restrict its scope to
   mem_cgroup_oom_(trylock|unlock).

6. Do not wake up the waitqueue unconditionally at the end of the
   function.  Only the lockholder has to wake up the next in line
   after releasing the lock.

   Note that the lockholder kicks off the OOM-killer, which in turn
   leads to wakeups from the uncharges of the exiting task.  But a
   contender is not guaranteed to see them if it enters the OOM path
   after the OOM kills but before the lockholder releases the lock.
   Thus there has to be an explicit wakeup after releasing the lock.

7. Put the OOM task on the waitqueue before marking the hierarchy as
   under OOM as that is the point where we start to receive wakeups.
   No point in listening before being on the waitqueue.

8. Likewise, unmark the hierarchy before finishing the sleep, for
   symmetry.

Michal Hocko e975de998b memcg, vmscan: do not fall into reclaim-all pass too quickly
shrink_zone starts with soft reclaim pass first and then falls back to
regular reclaim if nothing has been scanned.  This behavior is natural
but there is a catch.  Memcg iterators, when used with the reclaim
cookie, are designed to help to prevent from over reclaim by
interleaving reclaimers (per node-zone-priority) so the tree walk might
miss many (even all) nodes in the hierarchy e.g.  when there are direct
reclaimers racing with each other or with kswapd in the global case or
multiple allocators reaching the limit for the target reclaim case.  To
make it even more complicated, targeted reclaim doesn't do the whole
tree walk because it stops reclaiming once it reclaims sufficient pages.
As a result groups over the limit might be missed, thus nothing is
scanned, and reclaim would fall back to the reclaim all mode.

This patch checks for the incomplete tree walk in shrink_zone.  If no
group has been visited and the hierarchy is soft reclaimable then we
must have missed some groups, in which case the __shrink_zone is called
again.  This doesn't guarantee there will be some progress of course
because the current reclaimer might be still racing with others but it
would at least give a chance to start the walk without a big risk of
reclaim latencies.

Michal Hocko 1be171d60b memcg: track all children over limit in the root
Children in soft limit excess are currently tracked up the hierarchy in
memcg->children_in_excess.  Nevertheless there still might exist tons of
groups that are not in hierarchy relation to the root cgroup (e.g.  all
first level groups if root_mem_cgroup->use_hierarchy == false).

As the whole tree walk has to be done when the iteration starts at
root_mem_cgroup the iterator should be able to skip the walk if there is
no child above the limit without iterating them.  This can be done
easily if the root tracks all children rather than only hierarchical
children.  This is done by this patch which updates root_mem_cgroup
children_in_excess if root_mem_cgroup->use_hierarchy == false so the
root knows about all children in excess.

Please note that this is not an issue for inner memcgs which have
use_hierarchy == false because then only the single group is visited so
no special optimization is necessary.

skip nodes that are not soft reclaimable quite efficiently but
mem_cgroup_should_soft_reclaim can be more clever and do not start the
soft reclaim pass at all if it knows that nothing would be scanned
anyway.

In order to do that, simply reuse mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible for
the target group of the reclaim and allow the pass only if the whole
subtree wouldn't be skipped.

the first pass of the reclaim.  This leads to a higher system time which
can be visible especially when there are many groups in the hierarchy.

This patch adds a per-memcg counter of children in excess.  It also
restores MEM_CGROUP_TARGET_SOFTLIMIT into mem_cgroup_event_ratelimit for a
proper batching.

If a group crosses soft limit for the first time it increases parent's
children_in_excess up the hierarchy.  The similarly if a group gets below
the limit it will decrease the counter.  The transition phase is recorded
in soft_contributed flag.

mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible then uses this information to better
decide whether to skip the node or the whole subtree.  The rule is simple.
 Skip the node with a children in excess or skip the whole subtree
otherwise.

This has been tested by a stream IO (dd if=/dev/zero of=file with
4*MemTotal size) which is quite sensitive to overhead during reclaim.  The
load is running in a group with soft limit set to 0 and without any limit.
 Apart from that there was a hierarchy with ~500, 2k and 8k groups (two
groups on each level) without any pages in them.  base denotes to the
kernel on which the whole series is based on, rework is the kernel before
this patch and reworkoptim is with this patch applied:

System time is increased by 30-40% but it is reduced a lot comparing to
kernel without this patch.  The higher time can be explained by the fact
that the original soft reclaim scanned at priority 0 so it was much more
effective for this workload (which is basically touch once and writeback).
 The Elapsed time looks better though (~20%).

Both System and Elapsed are in stdev with the base kernel for all
configurations except for 8k where both System and Elapsed are up by 35%.
I do not have a good explanation for this because there is no soft reclaim
pass going on as no group is above the limit which is checked in
mem_cgroup_should_soft_reclaim.

Then I have tested kernel build with the same configuration to see the
behavior with a more general behavior.

Michal Hocko de57780dc6 memcg: enhance memcg iterator to support predicates
The caller of the iterator might know that some nodes or even subtrees
should be skipped but there is no way to tell iterators about that so the
only choice left is to let iterators to visit each node and do the
selection outside of the iterating code.  This, however, doesn't scale
well with hierarchies with many groups where only few groups are
interesting.

This patch adds mem_cgroup_iter_cond variant of the iterator with a
callback which gets called for every visited node.  There are three
possible ways how the callback can influence the walk.  Either the node is
visited, it is skipped but the tree walk continues down the tree or the
whole subtree of the current group is skipped.

Michal Hocko a5b7c87f92 vmscan, memcg: do softlimit reclaim also for targeted reclaim
Soft reclaim has been done only for the global reclaim (both background
and direct).  Since "memcg: integrate soft reclaim tighter with zone
shrinking code" there is no reason for this limitation anymore as the soft
limit reclaim doesn't use any special code paths and it is a part of the
zone shrinking code which is used by both global and targeted reclaims.

From the semantic point of view it is natural to consider soft limit
before touching all groups in the hierarchy tree which is touching the
hard limit because soft limit tells us where to push back when there is a
memory pressure.  It is not important whether the pressure comes from the
limit or imbalanced zones.

This patch simply enables soft reclaim unconditionally in
mem_cgroup_should_soft_reclaim so it is enabled for both global and
targeted reclaim paths.  mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible needs to learn
about the root of the reclaim to know where to stop checking soft limit
state of parents up the hierarchy.  Say we have

A (over soft limit)
 \
  B (below s.l., hit the hard limit)
 / \
C   D (below s.l.)

B is the source of the outside memory pressure now for D but we shouldn't
soft reclaim it because it is behaving well under B subtree and we can
still reclaim from C (pressumably it is over the limit).
mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible should therefore stop climbing up the
hierarchy at B (root of the memory pressure).

Michal Hocko 3b38722efd memcg, vmscan: integrate soft reclaim tighter with zone shrinking code
This patchset is sitting out of tree for quite some time without any
objections.  I would be really happy if it made it into 3.12.  I do not
want to push it too hard but I think this work is basically ready and
waiting more doesn't help.

The basic idea is quite simple.  Pull soft reclaim into shrink_zone in the
first step and get rid of the previous soft reclaim infrastructure.
shrink_zone is done in two passes now.  First it tries to do the soft
limit reclaim and it falls back to reclaim-all mode if no group is over
the limit or no pages have been scanned.  The second pass happens at the
same priority so the only time we waste is the memcg tree walk which has
been updated in the third step to have only negligible overhead.

As a bonus we will get rid of a _lot_ of code by this and soft reclaim
will not stand out like before when it wasn't integrated into the zone
shrinking code and it reclaimed at priority 0 (the testing results show
that some workloads suffers from such an aggressive reclaim).  The clean
up is in a separate patch because I felt it would be easier to review that
way.

The second step is soft limit reclaim integration into targeted reclaim.
It should be rather straight forward.  Soft limit has been used only for
the global reclaim so far but it makes sense for any kind of pressure
coming from up-the-hierarchy, including targeted reclaim.

The third step (patches 4-8) addresses the tree walk overhead by enhancing
memcg iterators to enable skipping whole subtrees and tracking number of
over soft limit children at each level of the hierarchy.  This information
is updated same way the old soft limit tree was updated (from
memcg_check_events) so we shouldn't see an additional overhead.  In fact
mem_cgroup_update_soft_limit is much simpler than tree manipulation done
previously.

__shrink_zone uses mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible as a predicate for
mem_cgroup_iter so the decision whether a particular group should be
visited is done at the iterator level which allows us to decide to skip
the whole subtree as well (if there is no child in excess).  This reduces
the tree walk overhead considerably.

* TEST 1
========

My primary test case was a parallel kernel build with 2 groups (make is
running with -j8 with a distribution .config in a separate cgroup without
any hard limit) on a 32 CPU machine booted with 1GB memory and both builds
run taskset to Node 0 cpus.

I was mostly interested in 2 setups.  Default - no soft limit set and -
and 0 soft limit set to both groups.  The first one should tell us whether
the rework regresses the default behavior while the second one should show
us improvements in an extreme case where both workloads are always over
the soft limit.

/usr/bin/time -v has been used to collect the statistics and each
configuration had 3 runs after fresh boot without any other load on the
system.

The improvement is really huge here (even bigger than with my previous
testing and I suspect that this highly depends on the storage).  Page
fault statistics tell us at least part of the story:

Minor
0-limit/base: min: 37180461.00 max: 37319986.00 avg: 37247470.00 std: 54772.71 runs: 6

Same as with my previous testing Minor faults are more or less within
noise but Major fault count is way bellow the base kernel.

While this looks as a nice win it is fair to say that 0-limit
configuration is quite artificial. So I was playing with 0-no-limit
loads as well.

* TEST 2
========

The following results are from 2 groups configuration on a 16GB machine
(single NUMA node).

- A running stream IO (dd if=/dev/zero of=local.file bs=1024) with
  2*TotalMem with 0 soft limit.
- B running a mem_eater which consumes TotalMem-1G without any limit. The
  mem_eater consumes the memory in 100 chunks with 1s nap after each
  mmap+poppulate so that both loads have chance to fight for the memory.

The expected result is that B shouldn't be reclaimed and A shouldn't see
a big dropdown in elapsed time.

System time improved slightly as well as Elapsed. My previous testing
has shown worse numbers but this again seem to depend on the storage
speed.

My theory is that the writeback doesn't catch up and prio-0 soft reclaim
falls into wait on writeback page too often in the base kernel. The
patched kernel doesn't do that because the soft reclaim is done from the
kswapd/direct reclaim context. This can be seen on the following graph
nicely. The A's group usage_in_bytes regurarly drops really low very often.

All 3 runs
http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/stream.png
resp. a detail of the single run
http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/stream-one-run.png

mem_eater seems to be doing better as well. It gets to the full
allocation size faster as can be seen on the following graph:
http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/mem_eater-one-run.png

/proc/meminfo collected during the test also shows that rework kernel
hasn't swapped that much (well almost not at all):
base: max: 123900 K avg: 56388.29 K
rework: max: 300 K avg: 128.68 K

kswapd and direct reclaim statistics are of no use unfortunatelly because
soft reclaim is not accounted properly as the counters are hidden by
global_reclaim() checks in the base kernel.

* TEST 3
========

Another test was the same configuration as TEST2 except the stream IO was
replaced by a single kbuild (16 parallel jobs bound to Node0 cpus same as
in TEST1) and mem_eater allocated TotalMem-200M so kbuild had only 200MB
left.

Kbuild did better with the rework kernel here as well:

rework: min: 302.00 [2.1%] max: 414.00 [0.8%] avg: 366.33 [1.2%] std: 47.22 runs: 3

Again we can see a significant improvement in Elapsed (it also seems to
be more stable), there is a huge dropdown for the Major page faults and
much more swapping:
base: max: 583736 K avg: 112547.43 K
rework: max: 4012 K avg: 124.36 K

Graphs from all three runs show the variability of the kbuild quite
nicely.  It even seems that it took longer after every run with the base
kernel which would be quite surprising as the source tree for the build is
removed and caches are dropped after each run so the build operates on a
freshly extracted sources everytime.
http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/kbuild-mem_eater.png

My other testing shows that this is just a matter of timing and other runs
behave differently the std for Elapsed time is similar ~50.  Example of
other three runs:
http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/kbuild-mem_eater2.png

So to wrap this up.  The series is still doing good and improves the soft
limit.

The testing results for bunch of cgroups with both stream IO and kbuild
loads can be found in "memcg: track children in soft limit excess to
improve soft limit".

This patch:

Memcg soft reclaim has been traditionally triggered from the global
reclaim paths before calling shrink_zone.  mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim
then picked up a group which exceeds the soft limit the most and reclaimed
it with 0 priority to reclaim at least SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages.

The infrastructure requires per-node-zone trees which hold over-limit
groups and keep them up-to-date (via memcg_check_events) which is not cost
free.  Although this overhead hasn't turned out to be a bottle neck the
implementation is suboptimal because mem_cgroup_update_tree has no idea
which zones consumed memory over the limit so we could easily end up
having a group on a node-zone tree having only few pages from that
node-zone.

This patch doesn't try to fix node-zone trees management because it seems
that integrating soft reclaim into zone shrinking sounds much easier and
more appropriate for several reasons.  First of all 0 priority reclaim was
a crude hack which might lead to big stalls if the group's LRUs are big
and hard to reclaim (e.g.  a lot of dirty/writeback pages).  Soft reclaim
should be applicable also to the targeted reclaim which is awkward right
now without additional hacks.  Last but not least the whole infrastructure
eats quite some code.

After this patch shrink_zone is done in 2 passes.  First it tries to do
the soft reclaim if appropriate (only for global reclaim for now to keep
compatible with the original state) and fall back to ignoring soft limit
if no group is eligible to soft reclaim or nothing has been scanned during
the first pass.  Only groups which are over their soft limit or any of
their parents up the hierarchy is over the limit are considered eligible
during the first pass.

Soft limit tree which is not necessary anymore will be removed in the
follow up patch to make this patch smaller and easier to review.

Linus Torvalds 02b9735c12 ACPI and power management fixes for 3.12-rc1
1) ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) fixes related to spurious events
 
   After the recent ACPIPHP changes we've seen some interesting breakage
   on a system that triggers device check notifications during boot for
   non-existing devices.  Although those notifications are really
   spurious, we should be able to deal with them nevertheless and that
   shouldn't introduce too much overhead.  Four commits to make that
   work properly.
 
  2) Memory hotplug and hibernation mutual exclusion rework
 
   This was maent to be a cleanup, but it happens to fix a classical
   ABBA deadlock between system suspend/hibernation and ACPI memory
   hotplug which is possible if they are started roughly at the same
   time.  Three commits rework memory hotplug so that it doesn't
   acquire pm_mutex and make hibernation use device_hotplug_lock
   which prevents it from racing with memory hotplug.
 
  3) ACPI Intel LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver crash fix
 
   The ACPI LPSS driver crashes during boot on Apple Macbook Air with
   Haswell that has slightly unusual BIOS configuration in which one
   of the LPSS device's _CRS method doesn't return all of the information
   expected by the driver.  Fix from Mika Westerberg, for stable.
 
  4) ACPICA fix related to Store->ArgX operation
 
   AML interpreter fix for obscure breakage that causes AML to be
   executed incorrectly on some machines (observed in practice).  From
   Bob Moore.
 
  5) ACPI core fix for PCI ACPI device objects lookup
 
   There still are cases in which there is more than one ACPI device
   object matching a given PCI device and we don't choose the one that
   the BIOS expects us to choose, so this makes the lookup take more
   criteria into account in those cases.
 
  6) Fix to prevent cpuidle from crashing in some rare cases
 
   If the result of cpuidle_get_driver() is NULL, which can happen on
   some systems, cpuidle_driver_ref() will crash trying to use that
   pointer and the Daniel Fu's fix prevents that from happening.
 
  7) cpufreq fixes related to CPU hotplug
 
   Stephen Boyd reported a number of concurrency problems with cpufreq
   related to CPU hotplug which are addressed by a series of fixes
   from Srivatsa S Bhat and Viresh Kumar.
 
  8) cpufreq fix for time conversion in time_in_state attribute
 
   Time conversion carried out by cpufreq when user space attempts to
   read /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state won't
   work correcty if cputime_t doesn't map directly to jiffies.  Fix
   from Andreas Schwab.
 
  9) Revert of a troublesome cpufreq commit
 
   Commit 7c30ed5 (cpufreq: make sure frequency transitions are
   serialized) was intended to address some known concurrency problems
   in cpufreq related to the ordering of transitions, but unfortunately
   it introduced several problems of its own, so I decided to revert it
   now and address the original problems later in a more robust way.
 
 10) Intel Haswell CPU models for intel_pstate from Nell Hardcastle.
 
 11) cpufreq fixes related to system suspend/resume
 
   The recent cpufreq changes that made it preserve CPU sysfs attributes
   over suspend/resume cycles introduced a possible NULL pointer
   dereference that caused it to crash during the second attempt to
   suspend.  Three commits from Srivatsa S Bhat fix that problem and a
   couple of related issues.
 
 12) cpufreq locking fix
 
   cpufreq_policy_restore() should acquire the lock for reading, but
   it acquires it for writing.  Fix from Lan Tianyu.

Rob Landley 16203a7a94 initmpfs: make rootfs use tmpfs when CONFIG_TMPFS enabled
Conditionally call the appropriate fs_init function and fill_super
functions.  Add a use once guard to shmem_init() to simply succeed on a
second call.

(Note that IS_ENABLED() is a compile time constant so dead code
elimination removes unused function calls when CONFIG_TMPFS is disabled.)

Jan Kara 5e4c0d9741 lib/radix-tree.c: make radix_tree_node_alloc() work correctly within interrupt
With users of radix_tree_preload() run from interrupt (block/blk-ioc.c is
one such possible user), the following race can happen:

radix_tree_preload()
...
radix_tree_insert()
  radix_tree_node_alloc()
    if (rtp->nr) {
      ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1];
<interrupt>
...
radix_tree_preload()
...
radix_tree_insert()
  radix_tree_node_alloc()
    if (rtp->nr) {
      ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1];

And we give out one radix tree node twice.  That clearly results in radix
tree corruption with different results (usually OOPS) depending on which
two users of radix tree race.

We fix the problem by making radix_tree_node_alloc() always allocate fresh
radix tree nodes when in interrupt.  Using preloading when in interrupt
doesn't make sense since all the allocations have to be atomic anyway and
we cannot steal nodes from process-context users because some users rely
on radix_tree_insert() succeeding after radix_tree_preload().
in_interrupt() check is somewhat ugly but we cannot simply key off passed
gfp_mask as that is acquired from root_gfp_mask() and thus the same for
all preload users.

Another part of the fix is to avoid node preallocation in
radix_tree_preload() when passed gfp_mask doesn't allow waiting.  Again,
preallocation in such case doesn't make sense and when preallocation would
happen in interrupt we could possibly leak some allocated nodes.  However,
some users of radix_tree_preload() require following radix_tree_insert()
to succeed.  To avoid unexpected effects for these users,
radix_tree_preload() only warns if passed gfp mask doesn't allow waiting
and we provide a new function radix_tree_maybe_preload() for those users
which get different gfp mask from different call sites and which are
prepared to handle radix_tree_insert() failure.

Greg Thelen 2bff24a370 memcg: fix multiple large threshold notifications
A memory cgroup with (1) multiple threshold notifications and (2) at least
one threshold >=2G was not reliable.  Specifically the notifications would
either not fire or would not fire in the proper order.

The __mem_cgroup_threshold() signaling logic depends on keeping 64 bit
thresholds in sorted order.  mem_cgroup_usage_register_event() sorts them
with compare_thresholds(), which returns the difference of two 64 bit
thresholds as an int.  If the difference is positive but has bit[31] set,
then sort() treats the difference as negative and breaks sort order.

This fix compares the two arbitrary 64 bit thresholds returning the
classic -1, 0, 1 result.

The test below sets two notifications (at 0x1000 and 0x81001000):
  cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory
  mkdir x
  for x in 4096 2164264960; do
    cgroup_event_listener x/memory.usage_in_bytes $x | sed "s/^/$x listener:/" &
  done
  echo $$ > x/cgroup.procs
  anon_leaker 500M

v3.11-rc7 fails to signal the 4096 event listener:
  Leaking...
  Done leaking pages.

Patched v3.11-rc7 properly notifies:
  Leaking...
  4096 listener:2013:8:31:14:13:36
  Done leaking pages.

The fixed bug is old.  It appears to date back to the introduction of
memcg threshold notifications in v2.6.34-rc1-116-g2e72b6347c94 "memcg:
implement memory thresholds"

Wanpeng Li 29b4eedee6 mm/hwpoison.c: fix held reference count after unpoisoning empty zero page
madvise hwpoison inject will poison the read-only empty zero page if there
is no write access before poison.  Empty zero page reference count will be
increased for hwpoison, subsequent poison zero page will return directly
since page has already been set PG_hwpoison, however, page reference count
is still increased by get_user_pages_fast.  The unpoison process will
unpoison the empty zero page and decrease the reference count successfully
for the fist time, however, subsequent unpoison empty zero page will
return directly since page has already been unpoisoned and without
decrease the page reference count of empty zero page.

This patch fixes it by make madvise_hwpoison() put a page and return
immediately (without calling memory_failure() or soft_offline_page()) when
the page is already hwpoisoned.

Wanpeng Li 0be35096a1 mm/hwpoison: don't set migration type twice to avoid holding heavily contend zone->lock
Set pageblock migration type will hold zone->lock which is heavy contended
in system to avoid race.  However, soft offline page will set pageblock
migration type twice during get page if the page is in used, not hugetlbfs
page and not on lru list.  There is unnecessary to set the pageblock
migration type and hold heavy contended zone->lock again if the first
round get page have already set the pageblock to right migration type.

The trick here is migration type is MIGRATE_ISOLATE.  There are other two
parts can change MIGRATE_ISOLATE except hwpoison.  One is memory hoplug,
however, we hold lock_memory_hotplug() which avoid race.  The second is
CMA which umovable page allocation requst can't fallback to.  So it's safe
here.

There is a race between hwpoison page and unpoison page, memory_failure
set the page hwpoison and increase num_poisoned_pages without hold page
lock, and one page count will be accounted against thp for
num_poisoned_pages.  However, unpoison can occur before memory_failure
hold page lock and split transparent hugepage, unpoison will decrease
num_poisoned_pages by 1 << compound_order since memory_failure has not yet
split transparent hugepage with page lock held.  That means we account one
page for hwpoison and 1 << compound_order for unpoison.  This patch fix it
by inserting a PageTransHuge check before doing TestClearPageHWPoison,
unpoison failed without clearing PageHWPoison and decreasing
num_poisoned_pages.

error page is unknown, it do the second check with the stored page flag
since memory_failure() does unmapping of the error pages before doing
page_action().  This unmapping changes the page state, especially
page_remove_rmap() (called from try_to_unmap_one()) clears PG_mlocked, so
page_action() can't catch mlocked pages after that.

However, memory_failure() can't handle memory errors on dirty mlocked
pages correctly.  try_to_unmap_one will move the dirty bit from pte to the
physical page, the second check lose it since it check the stored page
flag.  This patch fix it by restore PG_dirty flag to stored page flag if
the page is dirty.

Testcase:

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <errno.h>

#define PAGES_TO_TEST 2
#define PAGE_SIZE	4096

int main(void)
{
	char *mem;
	int i;

	mem = mmap(NULL, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE,
			PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_LOCKED, 0, 0);

	for (i = 0; i < PAGES_TO_TEST; i++)
		mem[i * PAGE_SIZE] = 'a';

	if (madvise(mem, PAGES_TO_TEST * PAGE_SIZE, MADV_HWPOISON) == -1)
		return -1;

	return 0;
}

Maxim Patlasov 5a53748568 mm/page-writeback.c: add strictlimit feature
The feature prevents mistrusted filesystems (ie: FUSE mounts created by
unprivileged users) to grow a large number of dirty pages before
throttling.  For such filesystems balance_dirty_pages always check bdi
counters against bdi limits.  I.e.  even if global "nr_dirty" is under
"freerun", it's not allowed to skip bdi checks.  The only use case for now
is fuse: it sets bdi max_ratio to 1% by default and system administrators
are supposed to expect that this limit won't be exceeded.

The feature is on if a BDI is marked by BDI_CAP_STRICTLIMIT flag.  A
filesystem may set the flag when it initializes its BDI.

The problematic scenario comes from the fact that nobody pays attention to
the NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP counter (i.e.  number of pages under fuse
writeback).  The implementation of fuse writeback releases original page
(by calling end_page_writeback) almost immediately.  A fuse request queued
for real processing bears a copy of original page.  Hence, if userspace
fuse daemon doesn't finalize write requests in timely manner, an
aggressive mmap writer can pollute virtually all memory by those temporary
fuse page copies.  They are carefully accounted in NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP, but
nobody cares.

To make further explanations shorter, let me use "NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP
problem" as a shortcut for "a possibility of uncontrolled grow of amount
of RAM consumed by temporary pages allocated by kernel fuse to process
writeback".

The problem was very easy to reproduce.  There is a trivial example
filesystem implementation in fuse userspace distribution: fusexmp_fh.c.  I
added "sleep(1);" to the write methods, then recompiled and mounted it.
Then created a huge file on the mount point and run a simple program which
mmap-ed the file to a memory region, then wrote a data to the region.  An
hour later I observed almost all RAM consumed by fuse writeback.  Since
then some unrelated changes in kernel fuse made it more difficult to
reproduce, but it is still possible now.

Putting this theoretical happens-in-the-lab thing aside, there is another
thing that really hurts real world (FUSE) users.  This is write-through
page cache policy FUSE currently uses.  I.e.  handling write(2), kernel
fuse populates page cache and flushes user data to the server
synchronously.  This is excessively suboptimal.  Pavel Emelyanov's patches
("writeback cache policy") solve the problem, but they also make resolving
NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP problem absolutely necessary.  Otherwise, simply copying
a huge file to a fuse mount would result in memory starvation.  Miklos,
the maintainer of FUSE, believes strictlimit feature the way to go.

And eventually putting FUSE topics aside, there is one more use-case for
strictlimit feature.  Using a slow USB stick (mass storage) in a machine
with huge amount of RAM installed is a well-known pain.  Let's make simple
computations.  Assuming 64GB of RAM installed, existing implementation of
balance_dirty_pages will start throttling only after 9.6GB of RAM becomes
dirty (freerun == 15% of total RAM).  So, the command "cp 9GB_file
/media/my-usb-storage/" may return in a few seconds, but subsequent
"umount /media/my-usb-storage/" will take more than two hours if effective
throughput of the storage is, to say, 1MB/sec.

After inclusion of strictlimit feature, it will be trivial to add a knob
(e.g.  /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/x:y/strictlimit) to enable it on demand.
Manually or via udev rule.  May be I'm wrong, but it seems to be quite a
natural desire to limit the amount of dirty memory for some devices we are
not fully trust (in the sense of sustainable throughput).

Lisa Du 6e543d5780 mm: vmscan: fix do_try_to_free_pages() livelock
This patch is based on KOSAKI's work and I add a little more description,
please refer https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/14/74.

Currently, I found system can enter a state that there are lots of free
pages in a zone but only order-0 and order-1 pages which means the zone is
heavily fragmented, then high order allocation could make direct reclaim
path's long stall(ex, 60 seconds) especially in no swap and no compaciton
enviroment.  This problem happened on v3.4, but it seems issue still lives
in current tree, the reason is do_try_to_free_pages enter live lock:

kswapd will go to sleep if the zones have been fully scanned and are still
not balanced.  As kswapd thinks there's little point trying all over again
to avoid infinite loop.  Instead it changes order from high-order to
0-order because kswapd think order-0 is the most important.  Look at
73ce02e9 in detail.  If watermarks are ok, kswapd will go back to sleep
and may leave zone->all_unreclaimable =3D 0.  It assume high-order users
can still perform direct reclaim if they wish.

Direct reclaim continue to reclaim for a high order which is not a
COSTLY_ORDER without oom-killer until kswapd turn on
zone->all_unreclaimble= .  This is because to avoid too early oom-kill.
So it means direct_reclaim depends on kswapd to break this loop.

In worst case, direct-reclaim may continue to page reclaim forever when
kswapd sleeps forever until someone like watchdog detect and finally kill
the process.  As described in:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/103737

We can't turn on zone->all_unreclaimable from direct reclaim path because
direct reclaim path don't take any lock and this way is racy.  Thus this
patch removes zone->all_unreclaimable field completely and recalculates
zone reclaimable state every time.

Note: we can't take the idea that direct-reclaim see zone->pages_scanned
directly and kswapd continue to use zone->all_unreclaimable.  Because, it
is racy.  commit 929bea7c71 (vmscan: all_unreclaimable() use
zone->all_unreclaimable as a name) describes the detail.

Vlastimil Babka 7a8010cd36 mm: munlock: manual pte walk in fast path instead of follow_page_mask()
Currently munlock_vma_pages_range() calls follow_page_mask() to obtain
each individual struct page.  This entails repeated full page table
translations and page table lock taken for each page separately.

This patch avoids the costly follow_page_mask() where possible, by
iterating over ptes within single pmd under single page table lock.  The
first pte is obtained by get_locked_pte() for non-THP page acquired by the
initial follow_page_mask().  The rest of the on-stack pagevec for munlock
is filled up using pte_walk as long as pte_present() and vm_normal_page()
are sufficient to obtain the struct page.

After this patch, a 14% speedup was measured for munlocking a 56GB large
memory area with THP disabled.

The performance of the fast path in munlock_vma_range() can be further
improved by avoiding atomic ops of a redundant get_page()/put_page() pair.

When calling get_page() during page isolation, we already have the pin
from follow_page_mask().  This pin will be then returned by
__pagevec_lru_add(), after which we do not reference the pages anymore.

After introducing batching by pagevecs into munlock_vma_range(), we can
further improve performance by bypassing the copying into per-cpu pagevec
and the get_page/put_page pair associated with that.  Instead we perform
LRU putback directly from our pagevec.  However, this is possible only for
single-mapped pages that are evictable after munlock.  Unevictable pages
require rechecking after putting on the unevictable list, so for those we
fallback to putback_lru_page(), hich handles that.
