Seems we all agree that information about SECTION, e.g. section size,
sections per memory block should be kept as kernel internals, and not
exposed to userspace.
This patch updates Documentation/memory-hotplug.txt to refer to memory
blocks instead of memory sections where appropriate and added a
paragraph to explain that memory blocks are made of memory sections.
The documentation update is mostly provided by Nathan.
Also, as end_phys_index in code is actually not the end section id, but
the end memory block id, which should always be the same as phys_index.
So it is removed here.

I recently added a patch to let folks pass a "reason" string dump_page()
which gets dumped out along with the page's data. This essentially
saves the bug-reader a trip in to the source to figure out why we
BUG_ON()'d.
The new VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() passes in NULL for "reason". It seems like we
might as well pass the BUG_ON() condition if we have it. This will
bloat kernels a bit with ~160 new strings, but this is all under a
debugging option anyway.

Per-memcg swappiness and oom killing can currently not be tweaked on a
memcg that is part of a hierarchy, but not the root of that hierarchy.
Users have complained that they can't configure this when they turned on
hierarchy mode. In fact, with hierarchy mode becoming the default, this
restriction disables the tunables entirely.
But there is no good reason for this restriction. The settings for
swappiness and OOM killing are taken from whatever memcg whose limit
triggered reclaim and OOM invocation, regardless of its position in the
hierarchy tree.
Allow setting swappiness on any group. The knob on the root memcg
already reads the global VM swappiness, make it writable as well.
Allow disabling the OOM killer on any non-root memcg.

Currently, "cma=" kernel parameter is used to specify the size of CMA,
but we can't specify where it is located. We want to locate CMA below
4GB for devices only supporting 32-bit addressing on 64-bit systems
without iommu.
This enables to specify the placement of CMA by extending "cma=" kernel
parameter.
Examples:
1. locate 64MB CMA below 4GB by "cma=64M@0-4G"
2. locate 64MB CMA exact at 512MB by "cma=64M@512M"
Note that the DMA contiguous memory allocator on x86 assumes that
page_address() works for the pages to allocate. So this change requires
to limit end address of contiguous memory area upto max_pfn_mapped to
prevent from locating it on highmem area by the argument of
dma_contiguous_reserve().

The DMA Contiguous Memory Allocator support on x86 is disabled when
swiotlb config option is enabled. So DMA CMA is always disabled on
x86_64 because swiotlb is always enabled. This attempts to support for
DMA CMA with enabling swiotlb config option.
The contiguous memory allocator on x86 is integrated in the function
dma_generic_alloc_coherent() which is .alloc callback in nommu_dma_ops
for dma_alloc_coherent().
x86_swiotlb_alloc_coherent() which is .alloc callback in swiotlb_dma_ops
tries to allocate with dma_generic_alloc_coherent() firstly and then
swiotlb_alloc_coherent() is called as a fallback.
The main part of supporting DMA CMA with swiotlb is that changing
x86_swiotlb_free_coherent() which is .free callback in swiotlb_dma_ops
for dma_free_coherent() so that it can distinguish memory allocated by
dma_generic_alloc_coherent() from one allocated by
swiotlb_alloc_coherent() and release it with dma_generic_free_coherent()
which can handle contiguous memory. This change requires making
is_swiotlb_buffer() global function.
This also needs to change .free callback in the dma_map_ops for amd_gart
and sta2x11, because these dma_ops are also using
dma_generic_alloc_coherent().

This patchset enhances the DMA Contiguous Memory Allocator on x86.
Currently the DMA CMA is only supported with pci-nommu dma_map_ops and
furthermore it can't be enabled on x86_64. But I would like to allocate
big contiguous memory with dma_alloc_coherent() and tell it to the device
that requires it, regardless of which dma mapping implementation is
actually used in the system.
So this makes it work with swiotlb and intel-iommu dma_map_ops, too. And
this also extends "cma=" kernel parameter to specify placement constraint
by the physical address range of memory allocations. For example, CMA
allocates memory below 4GB by "cma=64M@0-4G", it is required for the
devices only supporting 32-bit addressing on 64-bit systems without iommu.
This patch (of 5):
Calling dma_alloc_coherent() with __GFP_ZERO must return zeroed memory.
But when the contiguous memory allocator (CMA) is enabled on x86 and the
memory region is allocated by dma_alloc_from_contiguous(), it doesn't
return zeroed memory. Because dma_generic_alloc_coherent() forgot to fill
the memory region with zero if it was allocated by
dma_alloc_from_contiguous()
Most implementations of dma_alloc_coherent() return zeroed memory
regardless of whether __GFP_ZERO is specified. So this fixes it by
unconditionally zeroing the allocated memory region.
Alternatively, we could fix dma_alloc_from_contiguous() to return zeroed
out memory and remove memset() from all caller of it. But we can't simply
remove the memset on arm because __dma_clear_buffer() is used there for
ensuring cache flushing and it is used in many places. Of course we can
do redundant memset in dma_alloc_from_contiguous(), but I think this patch
is less impact for fixing this problem.

Prior to this change, we would decide whether to force scan a LRU during
reclaim if that LRU itself was too small for the current priority.
However, this can lead to the file LRU getting force scanned even if
there are a lot of anonymous pages we can reclaim, leading to hot file
pages getting needlessly reclaimed.
To address this, we instead only force scan when none of the reclaimable
LRUs are big enough.
Gives huge improvements with zswap. For example, when doing -j20 kernel
build in a 500MB container with zswap enabled, runtime (in seconds) is
greatly reduced:

Yes, hughd found significant speedup using regular swap, with several

Currently to allocate a page that should be charged to kmemcg (e.g.
threadinfo), we pass __GFP_KMEMCG flag to the page allocator. The page
allocated is then to be freed by free_memcg_kmem_pages. Apart from
looking asymmetrical, this also requires intrusion to the general
allocation path. So let's introduce separate functions that will
alloc/free pages charged to kmemcg.
The new functions are called alloc_kmem_pages and free_kmem_pages. They
should be used when the caller actually would like to use kmalloc, but
has to fall back to the page allocator for the allocation is large.
They only differ from alloc_pages and free_pages in that besides
allocating or freeing pages they also charge them to the kmem resource
counter of the current memory cgroup.

We have only a few places where we actually want to charge kmem so
instead of intruding into the general page allocation path with
__GFP_KMEMCG it's better to explictly charge kmem there. All kmem
charges will be easier to follow that way.
This is a step towards removing __GFP_KMEMCG. It removes __GFP_KMEMCG
from memcg caches' allocflags. Instead it makes slab allocation path
call memcg_charge_kmem directly getting memcg to charge from the cache's
memcg params.
This also eliminates any possibility of misaccounting an allocation
going from one memcg's cache to another memcg, because now we always
charge slabs against the memcg the cache belongs to. That's why this
patch removes the big comment to memcg_kmem_get_cache.

There used to be only one path out of __slab_alloc(), and ALLOC_SLOWPATH
got bumped in that exit path. Now there are two, and a bunch of gotos.
ALLOC_SLOWPATH can now get set more than once during a single call to
__slab_alloc() which is pretty bogus. Here's the sequence:
1. Enter __slab_alloc(), fall through all the way to the
stat(s, ALLOC_SLOWPATH);
2. hit 'if (!freelist)', and bump DEACTIVATE_BYPASS, jump to
new_slab (goto #1)
3. Hit 'if (c->partial)', bump CPU_PARTIAL_ALLOC, goto redo
(goto #2)
4. Fall through in the same path we did before all the way to
stat(s, ALLOC_SLOWPATH)
5. bump ALLOC_REFILL stat, then return
Doing this is obviously bogus. It keeps us from being able to
accurately compare ALLOC_SLOWPATH vs. ALLOC_FASTPATH. It also means
that the total number of allocs always exceeds the total number of
frees.
This patch moves stat(s, ALLOC_SLOWPATH) to be called from the same
place that __slab_alloc() is. This makes it much less likely that
ALLOC_SLOWPATH will get botched again in the spaghetti-code inside
__slab_alloc().

When the slab or slub allocators cannot allocate additional slab pages,
they emit diagnostic information to the kernel log such as current
number of slabs, number of objects, active objects, etc. This is always
coupled with a page allocation failure warning since it is controlled by
!__GFP_NOWARN.
Suppress this out of memory warning if the allocator is configured
without debug supported. The page allocation failure warning will
indicate it is a failed slab allocation, the order, and the gfp mask, so
this is only useful to diagnose allocator issues.
Since CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is already enabled by default for the slub
allocator, there is no functional change with this patch. If debug is
disabled, however, the warnings are now suppressed.

On system with 2TiB ram, current x86_64 have 128M as section size, and
one memory_block only include one section. So will have 16400 entries
under /sys/devices/system/memory/.
Current code try to use block id to find block pointer in /sys for any
section, and reuse that block pointer. that finding will take some time
even after commit 7c243c7168 ("mm: speedup in __early_pfn_to_nid")
that will skip the search in that case during booting up.
So solution could be increase block size just like SGI UV system did.
(harded code to 2g).
This patch is trying to probe the block size to make it match mmio remap
size. for example, Intel Nehalem later system will have memory range [0,
TOML), [4g, TOMH]. If the memory hole is 2g and total is 128g, TOM will
be 2g, and TOM2 will be 130g.
We could use 2g as block size instead of default 128M. That will reduce
number of entries in /sys/devices/system/memory/
On system 6TiB system will reduce boot time by 35 seconds.

_PAGE_NUMA is currently an alias of _PROT_PROTNONE to trap NUMA hinting
faults on x86. Care is taken such that _PAGE_NUMA is used only in
situations where the VMA flags distinguish between NUMA hinting faults
and prot_none faults. This decision was x86-specific and conceptually
it is difficult requiring special casing to distinguish between PROTNONE
and NUMA ptes based on context.
Fundamentally, we only need the _PAGE_NUMA bit to tell the difference
between an entry that is really unmapped and a page that is protected
for NUMA hinting faults as if the PTE is not present then a fault will
be trapped.
Swap PTEs on x86-64 use the bits after _PAGE_GLOBAL for the offset.
This patch shrinks the maximum possible swap size and uses the bit to
uniquely distinguish between NUMA hinting ptes and swap ptes.

32-bit support for NUMA is an oddity on its own but with automatic NUMA
balancing on top there is a reasonable risk that the CPUPID information
cannot be stored in the page flags. This patch removes support for
automatic NUMA support on 32-bit x86.

Description by Jan Kara:
"A lot of older filesystems don't properly flush volatile disk caches
on fsync(2) which can lead to loss of fsynced data after power failure.
This patch makes generic_file_fsync() issue proper cache flush to fix the
problem. Sysadmin can use /sys/devices/.../cache_type to tell the system
it should not send the cache flush."

Ocfs2 cluster size may be 1MB, which has 20 bits. When resize, the
input new clusters is mostly the number of clusters in a group
descriptor(32256).
Since the input clusters is defined as type int, so it will overflow
when shift left 20 bits and then lead to incorrect global bitmap i_size.

We found a race situation when dlm recovery and node joining occurs
simultaneously if the network state is bad.
N1 N4
start joining dlm and send
query join to all live nodes
set joining node to N1, return OK
send query join to other
live nodes and it may take
a while
call dlm_send_join_assert()
to send assert join message
when N2 is down, so keep
trying to send message to N2
until find N2 is down
send assert join message to
N3, but connection is down
with N3, so it may take a
while
become the recovery master for N2
and send begin reco message to other
nodes in domain map but no N1
connection with N3 is rebuild,
then send assert join to N4
call dlm_assert_joined_handler(),
add N1 to domain_map
dlm recovery done, send finalize message
to nodes in domain map, including N1
receiving finalize message,
trigger the BUG() because
recovery master mismatch.

Revert commit 75f82eaa50 ("ocfs2: fix NULL pointer dereference when
dismount and ocfs2rec simultaneously") because it may cause a umount
hang while shutting down the truncate log.
fix NULL pointer dereference when dismount and ocfs2rec simultaneously
The situation is as followes:
ocfs2_dismout_volume
-> ocfs2_recovery_exit
-> free osb->recovery_map
-> ocfs2_truncate_shutdown
-> lock global bitmap inode
-> ocfs2_wait_for_recovery
-> check whether osb->recovery_map->rm_used is zero
Because osb->recovery_map is already freed, rm_used can be any other
values, so it may yield umount hang.
To prevent NULL pointer dereference while getting sys_root_inode, we use
a osb_tl_disable flag to disable schedule osb_truncate_log_wq after
truncate log shutdown.

We found there is a conversion deadlock when the owner of lockres
happened to crash before send DLM_PROXY_AST_MSG for a downconverting
lock. The situation is as follows:
Node1 Node2 Node3
the owner of lockresA
lock_1 granted at EX mode
and call ocfs2_cluster_unlock
to decrease ex_holders.
converting lock_3 from
NL to EX
send DLM_PROXY_AST_MSG
to Node1, asking Node 1
to downconvert.
receiving DLM_PROXY_AST_MSG,
thread ocfs2dc send
DLM_CONVERT_LOCK_MSG
to Node2 to downconvert
lock_1(EX->NL).
lock_1 can be granted and
put it into pending_asts
list, return DLM_NORMAL.
then something happened
and Node2 crashed.
received DLM_NORMAL, waiting
for DLM_PROXY_AST_MSG.
selected as the recovery
master, receving migrate
lock from Node1, queue
lock_1 to the tail of
converting list.
After dlm recovery, converting list in the master of lockresA(Node3)
will be: converting list head <-> lock_3(NL->EX) <->lock_1(EX<->NL).
Requested mode of lock_3 is not compatible with the granted mode of
lock_1, so it can not be granted. and lock_1 can not downconvert
because covnerting queue is strictly FIFO. So a deadlock is created.
We think function dlm_process_recovery_data() should queue_ast for
lock_1 or alter the order of lock_1 and lock_3, so dlm_thread can
process lock_1 first. And if there are multiple downconverting locks,
they must convert form PR to NL, so no need to sort them.

Once JBD2_ABORT is set, ocfs2_commit_cache will fail in
ocfs2_commit_thread. Then it will get into a loop with mass logs. This
will meaninglessly consume a larger number of resource and may lead to
the system hanging. So limit printk in this case.

There are two standard techniques for dereferencing structures pointed
to by void *: cast to the right type each time they're used, or assign
to local variables of the right type.
But there's no need to do *both*.
