bb304a5c6f kmod: handle UMH_WAIT_PROC from system unbound workqueue
The UMH_WAIT_PROC handler runs in its own thread in order to make sure
that waiting for the exec kernel thread completion won't block other
usermodehelper queued jobs.

On older workqueue implementations, worklets couldn't sleep without
blocking the rest of the queue.  But now the workqueue subsystem handles
that.  Khelper still had the older limitation due to its singlethread
properties but we replaced it to system unbound workqueues.

Those are affine to the current node and can block up to some number of
instances.

They are a good candidate to handle UMH_WAIT_PROC assuming that we have
enough system unbound workers to handle lots of parallel usermodehelper
jobs.

90f023030e kmod: use system_unbound_wq instead of khelper
We need to launch the usermodehelper kernel threads with the widest
affinity and this is partly why we use khelper.  This workqueue has
unbound properties and thus a wide affinity inherited by all its children.

Now khelper also has special properties that we aren't much interested in:
ordered and singlethread.  There is really no need about ordering as all
we do is creating kernel threads.  This can be done concurrently.  And
singlethread is a useless limitation as well.

The workqueue engine already proposes generic unbound workqueues that
don't share these useless properties and handle well parallel jobs.

The only worrysome specific is their affinity to the node of the current
CPU.  It's fine for creating the usermodehelper kernel threads but those
inherit this affinity for longer jobs such as requesting modules.

This patch proposes to use these node affine unbound workqueues assuming
that a node is sufficient to handle several parallel usermodehelper
requests.

b639e86bae kmod: add up-to-date explanations on the purpose of each asynchronous levels
There seem to be quite some confusions on the comments, likely due to
changes that came after them.

Now since it's very non obvious why we have 3 levels of asynchronous code
to implement usermodehelpers, it's important to comment in detail the
reason of this layout.

d097c0240a kmod: remove unecessary explicit wide CPU affinity setting
Khelper is affine to all CPUs.  Now since it creates the
call_usermodehelper_exec_[a]sync() kernel threads, those inherit the wide
affinity.

As such explicitly forcing a wide affinity from those kernel threads
is like a no-op.

Just remove it. It's needless and it breaks CPU isolation users who
rely on workqueue affinity tuning.

b6b50a814d kmod: bunch of internal functions renames
This patchset does a bunch of cleanups and converts khelper to use system
unbound workqueues.  The 3 first patches should be uncontroversial.  The
last 2 patches are debatable.

Kmod creates kernel threads that perform userspace jobs and we want those
to have a large affinity in order not to contend busy CPUs.  This is
(partly) why we use khelper which has a wide affinity that the kernel
threads it create can inherit from.  Now khelper is a dedicated workqueue
that has singlethread properties which we aren't interested in.

Hence those two debatable changes:

_ We would like to use generic workqueues. System unbound workqueues are
  a very good candidate but they are not wide affine, only node affine.
  Now probably a node is enough to perform many parallel kmod jobs.

_ We would like to remove the wait_for_helper kernel thread (UMH_WAIT_PROC
  handler) to use the workqueue. It means that if the workqueue blocks,
  and no other worker can take pending kmod request, we can be screwed.
  Now if we have 512 threads, this should be enough.

This patch (of 5):

Underscores on function names aren't much verbose to explain the purpose
of a function.  And kmod has interesting such flavours.

Lets rename the following functions:

* __call_usermodehelper -> call_usermodehelper_exec_work
* ____call_usermodehelper -> call_usermodehelper_exec_async
* wait_for_helper -> call_usermodehelper_exec_sync

60b61a6f42 kmod: correct documentation of return status of request_module
If request_module() successfully runs modprobe, but modprobe exits with a
non-zero status, then the return value from request_module() will be that
(positive) error status.  So the return from request_module can be:

 negative errno
 zero for success
 positive exit code.

Fix B-tree corruption when a new record is inserted at position 0 in the
node in hfs_brec_insert().

This is an identical change to the corresponding hfs b-tree code to Sergei
Antonov's "hfsplus: fix B-tree corruption after insertion at position 0",
to keep similar code paths in the hfs and hfsplus drivers in sync, where
appropriate.

7cb74be6fd hfs,hfsplus: cache pages correctly between bnode_create and bnode_free
Pages looked up by __hfs_bnode_create() (called by hfs_bnode_create() and
hfs_bnode_find() for finding or creating pages corresponding to an inode)
are immediately kmap()'ed and used (both read and write) and kunmap()'ed,
and should not be page_cache_release()'ed until hfs_bnode_free().

This patch fixes a problem I first saw in July 2012: merely running "du"
on a large hfsplus-mounted directory a few times on a reasonably loaded
system would get the hfsplus driver all confused and complaining about
B-tree inconsistencies, and generates a "BUG: Bad page state".  Most
recently, I can generate this problem on up-to-date Fedora 22 with shipped
kernel 4.0.5, by running "du /" (="/" + "/home" + "/mnt" + other smaller
mounts) and "du /mnt" simultaneously on two windows, where /mnt is a
lightly-used QEMU VM image of the full Mac OS X 10.9:

$ df -i / /home /mnt
Filesystem                  Inodes   IUsed      IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/fedora-root    3276800  551665    2725135   17% /
/dev/mapper/fedora-home   52879360  716221   52163139    2% /home
/dev/nbd0p2             4294967295 1387818 4293579477    1% /mnt

After applying the patch, I was able to run "du /" (60+ times) and "du
/mnt" (150+ times) continuously and simultaneously for 6+ hours.

There are many reports of the hfsplus driver getting confused under load
and generating "BUG: Bad page state" or other similar issues over the
years.  [1]

The unpatched code [2] has always been wrong since it entered the kernel
tree.  The only reason why it gets away with it is that the
kmap/memcpy/kunmap follow very quickly after the page_cache_release() so
the kernel has not had a chance to reuse the memory for something else,
most of the time.

The current RW driver appears to have followed the design and development
of the earlier read-only hfsplus driver [3], where-by version 0.1 (Dec
2001) had a B-tree node-centric approach to
read_cache_page()/page_cache_release() per bnode_get()/bnode_put(),
migrating towards version 0.2 (June 2002) of caching and releasing pages
per inode extents.  When the current RW code first entered the kernel [2]
in 2005, there was an REF_PAGES conditional (and "//" commented out code)
to switch between B-node centric paging to inode-centric paging.  There
was a mistake with the direction of one of the REF_PAGES conditionals in
__hfs_bnode_create().  In a subsequent "remove debug code" commit [4], the
read_cache_page()/page_cache_release() per bnode_get()/bnode_put() were
removed, but a page_cache_release() was mistakenly left in (propagating
the "REF_PAGES <-> !REF_PAGE" mistake), and the commented-out
page_cache_release() in bnode_release() (which should be spanned by
!REF_PAGES) was never enabled.

3725e9dd5b fs/coda: fix readlink buffer overflow
Dan Carpenter discovered a buffer overflow in the Coda file system
readlink code.  A userspace file system daemon can return a 4096 byte
result which then triggers a one byte write past the allocated readlink
result buffer.

This does not trigger with an unmodified Coda implementation because Coda
has a 1024 byte limit for symbolic links, however other userspace file
systems using the Coda kernel module could be affected.

Although this is an obvious overflow, I don't think this has to be handled
as too sensitive from a security perspective because the overflow is on
the Coda userspace daemon side which already needs root to open Coda's
kernel device and to mount the file system before we get to the point that
links can be read.

        if (NULL != foo)
and
        while (0 < bar(...))

where a constant (or what appears to be a constant like an upper case

written using the constant on the right side like:

and
        while (bar(...) > 0)

Add a test for this.

Add a --fix option too, but only do it when the code is immediately
surrounded by parentheses to avoid misfixing things like "(0 < bar() +
constant)"

In kmalloc_oob_krealloc_less, I think it is better to test
the size2 boundary.

If we do not call krealloc, the access of position size1 will still cause
out-of-bounds and access of position size2 does not.  After call krealloc,
the access of position size2 cause out-of-bounds.  So using size2 is more
correct.

9bf98f168b lib/bitmap.c: bitmap_parselist can accept string with whitespaces on head or tail
In __bitmap_parselist we can accept whitespaces on head or tail during
every parsing procedure.  If input has valid ranges, there is no reason to
reject the user.

For example, bitmap_parselist(" 1-3, 5, ", &mask, nmaskbits).  After
separating the string, we get " 1-3", " 5", and " ".  It's possible and
reasonable to accept such string as long as the parsing result is correct.

8a5e5e02fc include/linux/poison.h: fix LIST_POISON{1,2} offset
Poison pointer values should be small enough to find a room in
non-mmap'able/hardly-mmap'able space.  E.g.  on x86 "poison pointer space"
is located starting from 0x0.  Given unprivileged users cannot mmap
anything below mmap_min_addr, it should be safe to use poison pointers
lower than mmap_min_addr.

The current poison pointer values of LIST_POISON{1,2} might be too big for
mmap_min_addr values equal or less than 1 MB (common case, e.g.  Ubuntu
uses only 0x10000).  There is little point to use such a big value given
the "poison pointer space" below 1 MB is not yet exhausted.  Changing it
to a smaller value solves the problem for small mmap_min_addr setups.

The values are suggested by Solar Designer:

ecf1a3dfff proc: change proc_subdir_lock to a rwlock
The proc_subdir_lock spinlock is used to allow only one task to make
change to the proc directory structure as well as looking up information
in it.  However, the information lookup part can actually be entered by
more than one task as the pde_get() and pde_put() reference count update
calls in the critical sections are atomic increment and decrement
respectively and so are safe with concurrent updates.

The x86 architecture has already used qrwlock which is fair and other
architectures like ARM are in the process of switching to qrwlock.  So
unfairness shouldn't be a concern in that conversion.

This patch changed the proc_subdir_lock to a rwlock in order to enable
concurrent lookup. The following functions were modified to take a
write lock:
 - proc_register()
 - remove_proc_entry()
 - remove_proc_subtree()

The following functions were modified to take a read lock:
 - xlate_proc_name()
 - proc_lookup_de()
 - proc_readdir_de()

A parallel /proc filesystem search with the "find" command (1000 threads)
was run on a 4-socket Haswell-EX box (144 threads).  Before the patch, the
parallel search took about 39s.  After the patch, the parallel find took
only 25s, a saving of about 14s.

The micro-benchmark that I used was artificial, but it was used to
reproduce an exit hanging problem that I saw in real application.  In
fact, only allow one task to do a lookup seems too limiting to me.

bdb4d100af procfs: always expose /proc/<pid>/map_files/ and make it readable
Currently, /proc/<pid>/map_files/ is restricted to CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and is
only exposed if CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is set.

Each mapped file region gets a symlink in /proc/<pid>/map_files/
corresponding to the virtual address range at which it is mapped.  The
symlinks work like the symlinks in /proc/<pid>/fd/, so you can follow them
to the backing file even if that backing file has been unlinked.

Currently, files which are mapped, unlinked, and closed are impossible to
stat() from userspace.  Exposing /proc/<pid>/map_files/ closes this
functionality "hole".

Not being able to stat() such files makes noticing and explicitly
accounting for the space they use on the filesystem impossible.  You can
work around this by summing up the space used by every file in the
filesystem and subtracting that total from what statfs() tells you, but
that obviously isn't great, and it becomes unworkable once your filesystem
becomes large enough.

This patch moves map_files/ out from behind CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE, and
adjusts the permissions enforced on it as follows:

* proc_map_files_lookup()
* proc_map_files_readdir()
* map_files_d_revalidate()

	Remove the CAP_SYS_ADMIN restriction, leaving only the current
	restriction requiring PTRACE_MODE_READ. The information made
	available to userspace by these three functions is already
	available in /proc/PID/maps with MODE_READ, so I don't see any
	reason to limit them any further (see below for more detail).

* proc_map_files_follow_link()

	This stub has been added, and requires that the user have
	CAP_SYS_ADMIN in order to follow the links in map_files/,
	since there was concern on LKML both about the potential for
	bypassing permissions on ancestor directories in the path to
	files pointed to, and about what happens with more exotic
	memory mappings created by some drivers (ie dma-buf).

In older versions of this patch, I changed every permission check in
the four functions above to enforce MODE_ATTACH instead of MODE_READ.
This was an oversight on my part, and after revisiting the discussion
it seems that nobody was concerned about anything outside of what is
made possible by ->follow_link(). So in this version, I've left the
checks for PTRACE_MODE_READ as-is.

f074a8f49e proc: export idle flag via kpageflags
As noted by Minchan, a benefit of reading idle flag from /proc/kpageflags
is that one can easily filter dirty and/or unevictable pages while
estimating the size of unused memory.

Note that idle flag read from /proc/kpageflags may be stale in case the
page was accessed via a PTE, because it would be too costly to iterate
over all page mappings on each /proc/kpageflags read to provide an
up-to-date value.  To make sure the flag is up-to-date one has to read
/sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap first.

33c3fc71c8 mm: introduce idle page tracking
Knowing the portion of memory that is not used by a certain application or
memory cgroup (idle memory) can be useful for partitioning the system
efficiently, e.g.  by setting memory cgroup limits appropriately.
Currently, the only means to estimate the amount of idle memory provided
by the kernel is /proc/PID/{clear_refs,smaps}: the user can clear the
access bit for all pages mapped to a particular process by writing 1 to
clear_refs, wait for some time, and then count smaps:Referenced.  However,
this method has two serious shortcomings:

 - it does not count unmapped file pages
 - it affects the reclaimer logic

To overcome these drawbacks, this patch introduces two new page flags,
Idle and Young, and a new sysfs file, /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap.
A page's Idle flag can only be set from userspace by setting bit in
/sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap at the offset corresponding to the page,
and it is cleared whenever the page is accessed either through page tables
(it is cleared in page_referenced() in this case) or using the read(2)
system call (mark_page_accessed()). Thus by setting the Idle flag for
pages of a particular workload, which can be found e.g.  by reading
/proc/PID/pagemap, waiting for some time to let the workload access its
working set, and then reading the bitmap file, one can estimate the amount
of pages that are not used by the workload.

The Young page flag is used to avoid interference with the memory
reclaimer.  A page's Young flag is set whenever the Access bit of a page
table entry pointing to the page is cleared by writing to the bitmap file.
If page_referenced() is called on a Young page, it will add 1 to its
return value, therefore concealing the fact that the Access bit was
cleared.

Note, since there is no room for extra page flags on 32 bit, this feature
uses extended page flags when compiled on 32 bit.

1d7715c676 mmu-notifier: add clear_young callback
In the scope of the idle memory tracking feature, which is introduced by
the following patch, we need to clear the referenced/accessed bit not only
in primary, but also in secondary ptes.  The latter is required in order
to estimate wss of KVM VMs.  At the same time we want to avoid flushing
tlb, because it is quite expensive and it won't really affect the final
result.

Currently, there is no function for clearing pte young bit that would meet
our requirements, so this patch introduces one.  To achieve that we have
to add a new mmu-notifier callback, clear_young, since there is no method
for testing-and-clearing a secondary pte w/o flushing tlb.  The new method
is not mandatory and currently only implemented by KVM.

94a59fb36e hwpoison: use page_cgroup_ino for filtering by memcg
Hwpoison allows to filter pages by memory cgroup ino.  Currently, it
calls try_get_mem_cgroup_from_page to obtain the cgroup from a page and
then its ino using cgroup_ino, but now we have a helper method for
that, page_cgroup_ino, so use it instead.

This patch also loosens the hwpoison memcg filter dependency rules - it
makes it depend on CONFIG_MEMCG instead of CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP, because
hwpoison memcg filter does not require anything (nor it used to) from
CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP side.

2fc0452470 memcg: add page_cgroup_ino helper
This patchset introduces a new user API for tracking user memory pages
that have not been used for a given period of time.  The purpose of this
is to provide the userspace with the means of tracking a workload's
working set, i.e.  the set of pages that are actively used by the
workload.  Knowing the working set size can be useful for partitioning the
system more efficiently, e.g.  by tuning memory cgroup limits
appropriately, or for job placement within a compute cluster.

==== USE CASES ====

The unified cgroup hierarchy has memory.low and memory.high knobs, which
are defined as the low and high boundaries for the workload working set
size.  However, the working set size of a workload may be unknown or
change in time.  With this patch set, one can periodically estimate the
amount of memory unused by each cgroup and tune their memory.low and
memory.high parameters accordingly, therefore optimizing the overall
memory utilization.

Another use case is balancing workloads within a compute cluster.  Knowing
how much memory is not really used by a workload unit may help take a more
optimal decision when considering migrating the unit to another node
within the cluster.

Also, as noted by Minchan, this would be useful for per-process reclaim
(https://lwn.net/Articles/545668/). With idle tracking, we could reclaim idle
pages only by smart user memory manager.

==== USER API ====

The user API consists of two new files:

 * /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap.  This file implements a bitmap where each
   bit corresponds to a page, indexed by PFN. When the bit is set, the
   corresponding page is idle. A page is considered idle if it has not been
   accessed since it was marked idle. To mark a page idle one should set the
   bit corresponding to the page by writing to the file. A value written to the
   file is OR-ed with the current bitmap value. Only user memory pages can be
   marked idle, for other page types input is silently ignored. Writing to this
   file beyond max PFN results in the ENXIO error. Only available when
   CONFIG_IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING is set.

   This file can be used to estimate the amount of pages that are not
   used by a particular workload as follows:

   1. mark all pages of interest idle by setting corresponding bits in the
      /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap
   2. wait until the workload accesses its working set
   3. read /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap and count the number of bits set

 * /proc/kpagecgroup.  This file contains a 64-bit inode number of the
   memory cgroup each page is charged to, indexed by PFN. Only available when
   CONFIG_MEMCG is set.

   This file can be used to find all pages (including unmapped file pages)
   accounted to a particular cgroup. Using /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap, one
   can then estimate the cgroup working set size.

For an example of using these files for estimating the amount of unused
memory pages per each memory cgroup, please see the script attached
below.

==== REASONING ====

The reason to introduce the new user API instead of using
/proc/PID/{clear_refs,smaps} is that the latter has two serious
drawbacks:

 - it does not count unmapped file pages
 - it affects the reclaimer logic

The new API attempts to overcome them both. For more details on how it
is achieved, please see the comment to patch 6.

==== PATCHSET STRUCTURE ====

The patch set is organized as follows:

 - patch 1 adds page_cgroup_ino() helper for the sake of
   /proc/kpagecgroup and patches 2-3 do related cleanup
 - patch 4 adds /proc/kpagecgroup, which reports cgroup ino each page is
   charged to
 - patch 5 introduces a new mmu notifier callback, clear_young, which is
   a lightweight version of clear_flush_young; it is used in patch 6
 - patch 6 implements the idle page tracking feature, including the
   userspace API, /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap
 - patch 7 exports idle flag via /proc/kpageflags

==== SIMILAR WORKS ====

Originally, the patch for tracking idle memory was proposed back in 2011
by Michel Lespinasse (see http://lwn.net/Articles/459269/).  The main
difference between Michel's patch and this one is that Michel implemented
a kernel space daemon for estimating idle memory size per cgroup while
this patch only provides the userspace with the minimal API for doing the
job, leaving the rest up to the userspace.  However, they both share the
same idea of Idle/Young page flags to avoid affecting the reclaimer logic.

==== PERFORMANCE EVALUATION ====

SPECjvm2008 (https://www.spec.org/jvm2008/) was used to evaluate the
performance impact introduced by this patch set.  Three runs were carried
out:

 - base: kernel without the patch
 - patched: patched kernel, the feature is not used
 - patched-active: patched kernel, 1 minute-period daemon is used for
   tracking idle memory

For tracking idle memory, idlememstat utility was used:

This patch (of 8):

Add page_cgroup_ino() helper to memcg.

This function returns the inode number of the closest online ancestor of
the memory cgroup a page is charged to.  It is required for exporting
information about which page is charged to which cgroup to userspace,
which will be introduced by a following patch.

90b0fc26d5 zswap: change zpool/compressor at runtime
Update the zpool and compressor parameters to be changeable at runtime.
When changed, a new pool is created with the requested zpool/compressor,
and added as the current pool at the front of the pool list.  Previous
pools remain in the list only to remove existing compressed pages from.
The old pool(s) are removed once they become empty.
