This fourth patch of eight in this cleancache series provides the
core hooks in VFS for: initializing cleancache per filesystem;
capturing clean pages reclaimed by page cache; attempting to get
pages from cleancache before filesystem read; and ensuring coherency
between pagecache, disk, and cleancache. Note that the placement
of these hooks was stable from 2.6.18 to 2.6.38; a minor semantic
change was required due to a patchset in 2.6.39.
All hooks become no-ops if CONFIG_CLEANCACHE is unset, or become
a check of a boolean global if CONFIG_CLEANCACHE is set but no
cleancache "backend" has claimed cleancache_ops.

This third patch of eight in this cleancache series provides
the core code for cleancache that interfaces between the hooks in
VFS and individual filesystems and a cleancache backend. It also
includes build and config patches.
Two new files are added: mm/cleancache.c and include/linux/cleancache.h.
Note that CONFIG_CLEANCACHE can default to on; in systems that do
not provide a cleancache backend, all hooks devolve to a simple
check of a global enable flag, so performance impact should
be negligible but can be reduced to zero impact if config'ed off.
However for this first commit, it defaults to off.

The zone->lru_lock is heavily contented in workload where activate_page()
is frequently used. We could do batch activate_page() to reduce the lock
contention. The batched pages will be added into zone list when the pool
is full or page reclaim is trying to drain them.
For example, in a 4 socket 64 CPU system, create a sparse file and 64
processes, processes shared map to the file. Each process read access the
whole file and then exit. The process exit will do unmap_vmas() and cause
a lot of activate_page() call. In such workload, we saw about 58% total
time reduction with below patch. Other workloads with a lot of
activate_page also benefits a lot too.
Andrew Morton suggested activate_page() and putback_lru_pages() should
follow the same path to active pages, but this is hard to implement (see
commit 7a608572a2 ("Revert "mm: batch activate_page() to reduce lock
contention")). On the other hand, do we really need putback_lru_pages()
to follow the same path? I tested several FIO/FFSB benchmark (about 20
scripts for each benchmark) in 3 machines here from 2 sockets to 4
sockets. My test doesn't show anything significant with/without below
patch (there is slight difference but mostly some noise which we found
even without below patch before). Below patch basically returns to the
same as my first post.

I believe I found a problem in __alloc_pages_slowpath, which allows a
process to get stuck endlessly looping, even when lots of memory is
available.
Running an I/O and memory intensive stress-test I see a 0-order page
allocation with __GFP_IO and __GFP_WAIT, running on a system with very
little free memory. Right about the same time that the stress-test gets
killed by the OOM-killer, the utility trying to allocate memory gets stuck
in __alloc_pages_slowpath even though most of the systems memory was freed
by the oom-kill of the stress-test.
The utility ends up looping from the rebalance label down through the
wait_iff_congested continiously. Because order=0,
__alloc_pages_direct_compact skips the call to get_page_from_freelist.
Because all of the reclaimable memory on the system has already been
reclaimed, __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim skips the call to
get_page_from_freelist. Since there is no __GFP_FS flag, the block with
__alloc_pages_may_oom is skipped. The loop hits the wait_iff_congested,
then jumps back to rebalance without ever trying to
get_page_from_freelist. This loop repeats infinitely.
The test case is pretty pathological. Running a mix of I/O stress-tests
that do a lot of fork() and consume all of the system memory, I can pretty
reliably hit this on 600 nodes, in about 12 hours. 32GB/node.

As we are removing the parameter we can also clean up swapaccount because
it doesn't have to accept an empty string anymore (to match noswapaccount)
and so we can push = into __setup macro rather than checking "=1" resp.

Moving show_numa_map() from mempolicy.c to task_mmu.c solves several
issues.
- Having the show() operation "miles away" from the corresponding
seq_file iteration operations is a maintenance burden.
- The need to export ad hoc info like struct proc_maps_private is
eliminated.
- The implementation of show_numa_map() can be improved in a simple
manner by cooperating with the other seq_file operations (start,
stop, etc) -- something that would be messy to do without this
change.

Implement generic xattrs for tmpfs filesystems. The Feodra project, while
trying to replace suid apps with file capabilities, realized that tmpfs,
which is used on the build systems, does not support file capabilities and
thus cannot be used to build packages which use file capabilities. Xattrs
are also needed for overlayfs.
The xattr interface is a bit odd. If a filesystem does not implement any
{get,set,list}xattr functions the VFS will call into some random LSM hooks
and the running LSM can then implement some method for handling xattrs.
SELinux for example provides a method to support security.selinux but no
other security.* xattrs.
As it stands today when one enables CONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_ACL tmpfs will have
xattr handler routines specifically to handle acls. Because of this tmpfs
would loose the VFS/LSM helpers to support the running LSM. To make up
for that tmpfs had stub functions that did nothing but call into the LSM
hooks which implement the helpers.
This new patch does not use the LSM fallback functions and instead just
implements a native get/set/list xattr feature for the full security.* and
trusted.* namespace like a normal filesystem. This means that tmpfs can
now support both security.selinux and security.capability, which was not
previously possible.
The basic implementation is that I attach a:
struct shmem_xattr {
struct list_head list; /* anchored by shmem_inode_info->xattr_list */
char *name;
size_t size;
char value[0];
};
Into the struct shmem_inode_info for each xattr that is set. This
implementation could easily support the user.* namespace as well, except
some care needs to be taken to prevent large amounts of unswappable memory
being allocated for unprivileged users.

Previously the mmap sequential readahead is triggered by updating
ra->prev_pos on each page fault and compare it with current page offset.
It costs dirtying the cache line on each _minor_ page fault. So remove
the ra->prev_pos recording, and instead tag PG_readahead to trigger the
possible sequential readahead. It's not only more simple, but also will
work more reliably and reduce cache line bouncing on concurrent page
faults on shared struct file.
In the mosbench exim benchmark which does multi-threaded page faults on
shared struct file, the ra->mmap_miss and ra->prev_pos updates are found
to cause excessive cache line bouncing on tmpfs, which actually disabled
readahead totally (shmem_backing_dev_info.ra_pages == 0).

This fixes a problem where the first pageblock got marked MIGRATE_RESERVE
even though it only had a few free pages. eg, On current ARM port, The
kernel starts at offset 0x8000 to leave room for boot parameters, and the
memory is freed later.
This in turn caused no contiguous memory to be reserved and frequent
kswapd wakeups that emptied the caches to get more contiguous memory.
Unfortunatelly, ARM needs order-2 allocation for pgd (see
arm/mm/pgd.c#pgd_alloc()). Therefore the issue is not minor nor easy
avoidable.

isolate_lru_page() must be called only with stable reference to the page,
this is what is written in the comment above it, this is reasonable.
current isolate_lru_page() users and its page extra reference sources:
mm/huge_memory.c:
__collapse_huge_page_isolate() - reference from pte
mm/memcontrol.c:
mem_cgroup_move_parent() - get_page_unless_zero()
mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range() - reference from pte
mm/memory-failure.c:
soft_offline_page() - fixed, reference from get_any_page()
delete_from_lru_cache() - reference from caller or get_page_unless_zero()
[ seems like there bug, because __memory_failure() can call
page_action() for hpages tail, but it is ok for
isolate_lru_page(), tail getted and not in lru]
mm/memory_hotplug.c:
do_migrate_range() - fixed, get_page_unless_zero()
mm/mempolicy.c:
migrate_page_add() - reference from pte
mm/migrate.c:
do_move_page_to_node_array() - reference from follow_page()
mlock.c: - various external references
mm/vmscan.c:
putback_lru_page() - reference from isolate_lru_page()
It seems that all isolate_lru_page() users are ready now for this
restriction. So, let's replace redundant get_page_unless_zero() with
get_page() and add page initial reference count check with VM_BUG_ON()

I was tracking down a page allocation failure that ended up in vmalloc().
Since vmalloc() uses 0-order pages, if somebody asks for an insane amount
of memory, we'll still get a warning with "order:0" in it. That's not
very useful.
During recovery, vmalloc() also nicely frees all of the memory that it got
up to the point of the failure. That is wonderful, but it also quickly
hides any issues. We have a much different sitation if vmalloc()
repeatedly fails 10GB in to:
vmalloc(100 * 1<<30);
versus repeatedly failing 4096 bytes in to a:
vmalloc(8192);
This patch will print out messages that look like this:
[ 68.123503] vmalloc: allocation failure, allocated 6680576 of 13426688 bytes
[ 68.124218] bash: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0xd2
[ 68.124811] Pid: 3770, comm: bash Not tainted 2.6.39-rc3-00082-g85f2e68-dirty #333
[ 68.125579] Call Trace:

[ 68.127661] [<ffffffff8111ed37>] __vmalloc_node_range+0x237/0x290
...
The 'order' variable is added for clarity when calling warn_alloc_failed()
to avoid having an unexplained '0' as an argument.
The 'tmp_mask' is because adding an open-coded '| __GFP_NOWARN' would take
us over 80 columns for the alloc_pages_node() call. If we are going to
add a line, it might as well be one that makes the sucker easier to read.
As a side issue, I also noticed that ctl_ioctl() does vmalloc() based
solely on an unverified value passed in from userspace. Granted, it's
under CAP_SYS_ADMIN, but it still frightens me a bit.

This originally started as a simple patch to give vmalloc() some more
verbose output on failure on top of the plain page allocator messages.
Johannes suggested that it might be nicer to lead with the vmalloc() info
_before_ the page allocator messages.
But, I do think there's a lot of value in what __alloc_pages_slowpath()
does with its filtering and so forth.
This patch creates a new function which other allocators can call instead
of relying on the internal page allocator warnings. It also gives this
function private rate-limiting which separates it from other
printk_ratelimit() users.

cpumask_t is very big struct and cpu_vm_mask is placed wrong position.
It might lead to reduce cache hit ratio.
This patch has two change.
1) Move the place of cpumask into last of mm_struct. Because usually cpumask
is accessed only front bits when the system has cpu-hotplug capability
2) Convert cpu_vm_mask into cpumask_var_t. It may help to reduce memory
footprint if cpumask_size() will use nr_cpumask_bits properly in future.
In addition, this patch change the name of cpu_vm_mask with cpu_vm_mask_var.
It may help to detect out of tree cpu_vm_mask users.
This patch has no functional change.

Hugh says:
"The only significant loser, I think, would be page reclaim (when
concurrent with truncation): could spin for a long time waiting for
the i_mmap_mutex it expects would soon be dropped? "
Counter points:
- cpu contention makes the spin stop (need_resched())
- zap pages should be freeing pages at a higher rate than reclaim
ever can
I think the simplification of the truncate code is definitely worth it.
Effectively reverts: 2aa15890f3 ("mm: prevent concurrent
unmap_mapping_range() on the same inode") and takes out the code that
caused its problem.

Rework the existing mmu_gather infrastructure.
The direct purpose of these patches was to allow preemptible mmu_gather,
but even without that I think these patches provide an improvement to the
status quo.
The first 9 patches rework the mmu_gather infrastructure. For review
purpose I've split them into generic and per-arch patches with the last of
those a generic cleanup.
The next patch provides generic RCU page-table freeing, and the followup
is a patch converting s390 to use this. I've also got 4 patches from
DaveM lined up (not included in this series) that uses this to implement
gup_fast() for sparc64.
Then there is one patch that extends the generic mmu_gather batching.
After that follow the mm preemptibility patches, these make part of the mm
a lot more preemptible. It converts i_mmap_lock and anon_vma->lock to
mutexes which together with the mmu_gather rework makes mmu_gather
preemptible as well.
Making i_mmap_lock a mutex also enables a clean-up of the truncate code.
This also allows for preemptible mmu_notifiers, something that XPMEM I
think wants.
Furthermore, it removes the new and universially detested unmap_mutex.
This patch:
Remove the first obstacle towards a fully preemptible mmu_gather.
The current scheme assumes mmu_gather is always done with preemption
disabled and uses per-cpu storage for the page batches. Change this to
try and allocate a page for batching and in case of failure, use a small
on-stack array to make some progress.
Preemptible mmu_gather is desired in general and usable once i_mmap_lock
becomes a mutex. Doing it before the mutex conversion saves us from
having to rework the code by moving the mmu_gather bits inside the
pte_lock.
Also avoid flushing the tlb batches from under the pte lock, this is
useful even without the i_mmap_lock conversion as it significantly reduces
pte lock hold times.

Currently we have expand_upwards exported while expand_downwards is
accessible only via expand_stack or expand_stack_downwards.
check_stack_guard_page is a nice example of the asymmetry. It uses
expand_stack for VM_GROWSDOWN while expand_upwards is called for
VM_GROWSUP case.
Let's clean this up by exporting both functions and make those names
consistent. Let's use expand_{upwards,downwards} because expanding
doesn't always involve stack manipulation (an example is
ia64_do_page_fault which uses expand_upwards for registers backing store
expansion). expand_downwards has to be defined for both
CONFIG_STACK_GROWS{UP,DOWN} because get_arg_page calls the downwards
version in the early process initialization phase for growsup
configuration.

The vmap allocator is used to, among other things, allocate per-cpu vmap
blocks, where each vmap block is naturally aligned to its own size.
Obviously, leaving a guard page after each vmap area forbids packing vmap
blocks efficiently and can make the kernel run out of possible vmap blocks
long before overall vmap space is exhausted.
The new interface to map a user-supplied page array into linear vmalloc
space (vm_map_ram) insists on allocating from a vmap block (instead of
falling back to a custom area) when the area size is below a certain
threshold. With heavy users of this interface (e.g. XFS) and limited
vmalloc space on 32-bit, vmap block exhaustion is a real problem.
Remove the guard page from the core vmap allocator. vmalloc and the old
vmap interface enforce a guard page on their own at a higher level.
Note that without this patch, we had accidental guard pages after those
vm_map_ram areas that happened to be at the end of a vmap block, but not
between every area. This patch removes this accidental guard page only.
If we want guard pages after every vm_map_ram area, this should be done
separately. And just like with vmalloc and the old interface on a
different level, not in the core allocator.
Mel pointed out: "If necessary, the guard page could be reintroduced as a
debugging-only option (CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC?). Otherwise it seems
reasonable."

There's a kernel-wide shortage of per-process flags, so it's always
helpful to trim one when possible without incurring a significant penalty.
It's even more important when you're planning on adding a per- process
flag yourself, which I plan to do shortly for transparent hugepages.
PF_OOM_ORIGIN is used by ksm and swapoff to prefer current since it has a
tendency to allocate large amounts of memory and should be preferred for
killing over other tasks. We'd rather immediately kill the task making
the errant syscall rather than penalizing an innocent task.
This patch removes PF_OOM_ORIGIN since its behavior is equivalent to
setting the process's oom_score_adj to OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX.
The process's old oom_score_adj is stored and then set to
OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX during the time it used to have PF_OOM_ORIGIN. The old
value is then reinstated when the process should no longer be considered a
high priority for oom killing.

It's uncertain this has been beneficial, so it's safer to undo it. All
other compaction users would still go in synchronous mode if a first
attempt at async compaction failed. Hopefully we don't need to force
special behavior for THP (which is the only __GFP_NO_KSWAPD user so far
and it's the easier to exercise and to be noticeable). This also make
__GFP_NO_KSWAPD return to its original strict semantics specific to bypass
kswapd, as THP allocations have khugepaged for the async THP
allocations/compactions.
