f7b5d64794 mm: page_alloc: abort fair zone allocation policy when remotes nodes are encountered
The purpose of numa_zonelist_order=zone is to preserve lower zones for
use with 32-bit devices.  If locality is preferred then the
numa_zonelist_order=node policy should be used.

Unfortunately, the fair zone allocation policy overrides this by
skipping zones on remote nodes until the lower one is found.  While this
makes sense from a page aging and performance perspective, it breaks the
expected zonelist policy.  This patch restores the expected behaviour
for zone-list ordering.

0d5d823ab4 mm: move zone->pages_scanned into a vmstat counter
zone->pages_scanned is a write-intensive cache line during page reclaim
and it's also updated during page free.  Move the counter into vmstat to
take advantage of the per-cpu updates and do not update it in the free
paths unless necessary.

On a small UMA machine running tiobench the difference is marginal.  On
a 4-node machine the overhead is more noticable.  Note that automatic
NUMA balancing was disabled for this test as otherwise the system CPU
overhead is unpredictable.

Note that the overhead reduction will vary depending on where exactly
pages are allocated and freed.

3484b2de94 mm: rearrange zone fields into read-only, page alloc, statistics and page reclaim lines
The arrangement of struct zone has changed over time and now it has
reached the point where there is some inappropriate sharing going on.
On x86-64 for example

o The zone->node field is shared with the zone lock and zone->node is
  accessed frequently from the page allocator due to the fair zone
  allocation policy.

o span_seqlock is almost never used by shares a line with free_area

o Some zone statistics share a cache line with the LRU lock so
  reclaim-intensive and allocator-intensive workloads can bounce the cache
  line on a stat update

This patch rearranges struct zone to put read-only and read-mostly
fields together and then splits the page allocator intensive fields, the
zone statistics and the page reclaim intensive fields into their own
cache lines.  Note that the type of lowmem_reserve changes due to the
watermark calculations being signed and avoiding a signed/unsigned
conversion there.

On the test configuration I used the overall size of struct zone shrunk
by one cache line.  On smaller machines, this is not likely to be
noticable.  However, on a 4-node NUMA machine running tiobench the
system CPU overhead is reduced by this patch.

cc7452b6dc mm: export NR_SHMEM via sysinfo(2) / si_meminfo() interfaces
Historically, we exported shared pages to userspace via sysinfo(2)
sharedram and /proc/meminfo's "MemShared" fields.  With the advent of
tmpfs, from kernel v2.4 onward, that old way for accounting shared mem
was deemed inaccurate and we started to export a hard-coded 0 for
sysinfo.sharedram.  Later on, during the 2.6 timeframe, "MemShared" got
re-introduced to /proc/meminfo re-branded as "Shmem", but we're still
reporting sysinfo.sharedmem as that old hard-coded zero, which makes the
"shared memory" report inconsistent across interfaces.

This patch leverages the addition of explicit accounting for pages used
by shmem/tmpfs -- "4b02108 mm: oom analysis: add shmem vmstat" -- in
order to make the users of sysinfo(2) and si_meminfo*() friends aware of
that vmstat entry and make them report it consistently across the
interfaces, as well to make sysinfo(2) returned data consistent with our
current API documentation states.

b104a35d32 mm, thp: do not allow thp faults to avoid cpuset restrictions
The page allocator relies on __GFP_WAIT to determine if ALLOC_CPUSET
should be set in allocflags.  ALLOC_CPUSET controls if a page allocation
should be restricted only to the set of allowed cpuset mems.

Transparent hugepages clears __GFP_WAIT when defrag is disabled to prevent
the fault path from using memory compaction or direct reclaim.  Thus, it
is unfairly able to allocate outside of its cpuset mems restriction as a
side-effect.

This patch ensures that ALLOC_CPUSET is only cleared when the gfp mask is
truly GFP_ATOMIC by verifying it is also not a thp allocation.

This happens because init_cma_reserved_pageblock() calls
__free_one_page() with pageblock_order as page order but it is bigger
than MAX_ORDER.  This in turn causes accesses past zone->free_list[].

Fix the problem by changing init_cma_reserved_pageblock() such that it
splits pageblock into individual MAX_ORDER pages if pageblock is bigger
than a MAX_ORDER page.

In cases where !CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE, which is all
architectures expect for ia64, powerpc and tile at the moment, the
“pageblock_order > MAX_ORDER” condition will be optimised out since both
sides of the operator are constants.  In cases where pageblock size is
variable, the performance degradation should not be significant anyway
since init_cma_reserved_pageblock() is called only at boot time at most
MAX_CMA_AREAS times which by default is eight.

However, if the percpu_pagelist_fraction sysctl is set by the user, it
is also impossible to restore it to the kernel default since the user
cannot write 0 to the sysctl.

This patch allows the user to write 0 to restore the default behavior.
It still requires a fraction equal to or larger than 8, however, as
stated by the documentation for sanity.  If a value in the range [1, 7]
is written, the sysctl will return EINVAL.

This successfully solves the divide by zero issue at the same time.

e58469bafd mm: page_alloc: use word-based accesses for get/set pageblock bitmaps
The test_bit operations in get/set pageblock flags are expensive.  This
patch reads the bitmap on a word basis and use shifts and masks to isolate
the bits of interest.  Similarly masks are used to set a local copy of the
bitmap and then use cmpxchg to update the bitmap if there have been no
other changes made in parallel.

In a test running dd onto tmpfs the overhead of the pageblock-related
functions went from 1.27% in profiles to 0.5%.

In addition to the performance benefits, this patch closes races that are
possible between:

a) get_ and set_pageblock_migratetype(), where get_pageblock_migratetype()
   reads part of the bits before and other part of the bits after
   set_pageblock_migratetype() has updated them.

b) set_pageblock_migratetype() and set_pageblock_skip(), where the non-atomic
   read-modify-update set bit operation in set_pageblock_skip() will cause
   lost updates to some bits changed in the set_pageblock_migratetype().

Joonsoo Kim first reported the case a) via code inspection.  Vlastimil
Babka's testing with a debug patch showed that either a) or b) occurs
roughly once per mmtests' stress-highalloc benchmark (although not
necessarily in the same pageblock).  Furthermore during development of
unrelated compaction patches, it was observed that frequent calls to
{start,undo}_isolate_page_range() the race occurs several thousands of
times and has resulted in NULL pointer dereferences in move_freepages()
and free_one_page() in places where free_list[migratetype] is
manipulated by e.g.  list_move().  Further debugging confirmed that
migratetype had invalid value of 6, causing out of bounds access to the
free_list array.

That confirmed that the race exist, although it may be extremely rare,
and currently only fatal where page isolation is performed due to
memory hot remove.  Races on pageblocks being updated by
set_pageblock_migratetype(), where both old and new migratetype are
lower MIGRATE_RESERVE, currently cannot result in an invalid value
being observed, although theoretically they may still lead to
unexpected creation or destruction of MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks.
Furthermore, things could get suddenly worse when memory isolation is
used more, or when new migratetypes are added.

After this patch, the race has no longer been observed in testing.

5dab29113c mm: page_alloc: take the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK check out of the fast path
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK is set in a few cases.  Always by kswapd, always for
__GFP_MEMALLOC, sometimes for swap-over-nfs, tasks etc.  Each of these
cases are relatively rare events but the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK check is an
unlikely branch in the fast path.  This patch moves the check out of the
fast path and after it has been determined that the watermarks have not
been met.  This helps the common fast path at the cost of making the slow
path slower and hitting kswapd with a performance cost.  It's a reasonable
tradeoff.

75f30861a1 mm, thp: avoid excessive compaction latency during fault
Synchronous memory compaction can be very expensive: it can iterate an
enormous amount of memory without aborting, constantly rescheduling,
waiting on page locks and lru_lock, etc, if a pageblock cannot be
defragmented.

Unfortunately, it's too expensive for transparent hugepage page faults and
it's much better to simply fallback to pages.  On 128GB machines, we find
that synchronous memory compaction can take O(seconds) for a single thp
fault.

Now that async compaction remembers where it left off without strictly
relying on sync compaction, this makes thp allocations best-effort without
causing egregious latency during fault.  We still need to retry async
compaction after reclaim, but this won't stall for seconds.

e0b9daeb45 mm, compaction: embed migration mode in compact_control
We're going to want to manipulate the migration mode for compaction in the

Currently, we only do MIGRATE_ASYNC or MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT compaction
depending on the value of this bool.  Convert the bool to enum
migrate_mode and pass the migration mode in directly.  Later, we'll want
to avoid MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT for thp allocations in the pagefault patch to
avoid unnecessary latency.

This also alters compaction triggered from sysfs, either for the entire
system or for a node, to force MIGRATE_SYNC.

68711a7463 mm, migration: add destination page freeing callback
Memory migration uses a callback defined by the caller to determine how to
allocate destination pages.  When migration fails for a source page,
however, it frees the destination page back to the system.

This patch adds a memory migration callback defined by the caller to
determine how to free destination pages.  If a caller, such as memory
compaction, builds its own freelist for migration targets, this can reuse
already freed memory instead of scanning additional memory.

If the caller provides a function to handle freeing of destination pages,
it is called when page migration fails.  If the caller passes NULL then
freeing back to the system will be handled as usual.  This patch
introduces no functional change.

5bcc9f86ef mm/page_alloc: prevent MIGRATE_RESERVE pages from being misplaced
For the MIGRATE_RESERVE pages, it is useful when they do not get
misplaced on free_list of other migratetype, otherwise they might get
allocated prematurely and e.g.  fragment the MIGRATE_RESEVE pageblocks.
While this cannot be avoided completely when allocating new
MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks in min_free_kbytes sysctl handler, we should
prevent the misplacement where possible.

Currently, it is possible for the misplacement to happen when a
MIGRATE_RESERVE page is allocated on pcplist through rmqueue_bulk() as a
fallback for other desired migratetype, and then later freed back
through free_pcppages_bulk() without being actually used.  This happens
because free_pcppages_bulk() uses get_freepage_migratetype() to choose
the free_list, and rmqueue_bulk() calls set_freepage_migratetype() with
the *desired* migratetype and not the page's original MIGRATE_RESERVE
migratetype.

This patch fixes the problem by moving the call to
set_freepage_migratetype() from rmqueue_bulk() down to
__rmqueue_smallest() and __rmqueue_fallback() where the actual page's
migratetype (e.g.  from which free_list the page is taken from) is used.
Note that this migratetype might be different from the pageblock's
migratetype due to freepage stealing decisions.  This is OK, as page
stealing never uses MIGRATE_RESERVE as a fallback, and also takes care
to leave all MIGRATE_CMA pages on the correct freelist.

Therefore, as an additional benefit, the call to
get_pageblock_migratetype() from rmqueue_bulk() when CMA is enabled, can
be removed completely.  This relies on the fact that MIGRATE_CMA
pageblocks are created only during system init, and the above.  The
related is_migrate_isolate() check is also unnecessary, as memory
isolation has other ways to move pages between freelists, and drain pcp
lists containing pages that should be isolated.  The buffered_rmqueue()
can also benefit from calling get_freepage_migratetype() instead of
get_pageblock_migratetype().

4f9b16a647 mm: disable zone_reclaim_mode by default
When it was introduced, zone_reclaim_mode made sense as NUMA distances
punished and workloads were generally partitioned to fit into a NUMA
node.  NUMA machines are now common but few of the workloads are
NUMA-aware and it's routine to see major performance degradation due to
zone_reclaim_mode being enabled but relatively few can identify the
problem.

Those that require zone_reclaim_mode are likely to be able to detect
when it needs to be enabled and tune appropriately so lets have a
sensible default for the bulk of users.

This patch (of 2):

zone_reclaim_mode causes processes to prefer reclaiming memory from
local node instead of spilling over to other nodes.  This made sense
initially when NUMA machines were almost exclusively HPC and the
workload was partitioned into nodes.  The NUMA penalties were
sufficiently high to justify reclaiming the memory.  On current machines
and workloads it is often the case that zone_reclaim_mode destroys
performance but not all users know how to detect this.  Favour the
common case and disable it by default.  Users that are sophisticated
enough to know they need zone_reclaim_mode will detect it.

52383431b3 mm: get rid of __GFP_KMEMCG
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.

ed12d845b5 mm/page_alloc.c: change mm debug routines back to EXPORT_SYMBOL
A new dump_page() routine was recently added, and marked
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.  dump_page() was also added to the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE()
macro, and so the end result is that non-GPL code can no longer call
get_page() and a few other routines.

This only happens if the kernel was compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.

Change dump_page() to be EXPORT_SYMBOL.

Longer explanation:

Prior to commit 309381feae ("mm: dump page when hitting a VM_BUG_ON
using VM_BUG_ON_PAGE") , it was possible to build MIT-licensed (non-GPL)
drivers on Fedora.  Fedora is semi-unique, in that it sets
CONFIG_VM_DEBUG.

Because Fedora sets CONFIG_VM_DEBUG, they end up pulling in dump_page(),
via VM_BUG_ON_PAGE, via get_page().  As one of the authors of NVIDIA's
new, open source, "UVM-Lite" kernel module, I originally choose to use
the kernel's get_page() routine from within nvidia_uvm_page_cache.c,
because get_page() has always seemed to be very clearly intended for use
by non-GPL, driver code.

So I'm hoping that making get_page() widely accessible again will not be
too controversial.  We did check with Fedora first, and they responded
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1074710#c3) that we should
try to get upstream changed, before asking Fedora to change.  Their
reasoning seems beneficial to Linux: leaving CONFIG_DEBUG_VM set allows
Fedora to help catch mm bugs.

3a025760fc mm: page_alloc: spill to remote nodes before waking kswapd
On NUMA systems, a node may start thrashing cache or even swap anonymous
pages while there are still free pages on remote nodes.

This is a result of commits 81c0a2bb51 ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone
allocator policy") and fff4068cba ("mm: page_alloc: revert NUMA aspect
of fair allocation policy").

Before those changes, the allocator would first try all allowed zones,
including those on remote nodes, before waking any kswapds.  But now,
the allocator fastpath doubles as the fairness pass, which in turn can
only consider the local node to prevent remote spilling based on
exhausted fairness batches alone.  Remote nodes are only considered in
the slowpath, after the kswapds are woken up.  But if remote nodes still
have free memory, kswapd should not be woken to rebalance the local node
or it may thrash cash or swap prematurely.

Fix this by adding one more unfair pass over the zonelist that is
allowed to spill to remote nodes after the local fairness pass fails but
before entering the slowpath and waking the kswapds.

This also gets rid of the GFP_THISNODE exemption from the fairness
protocol because the unfair pass is no longer tied to kswapd, which
GFP_THISNODE is not allowed to wake up.

However, because remote spills can be more frequent now - we prefer them
over local kswapd reclaim - the allocation batches on remote nodes could
underflow more heavily.  When resetting the batches, use
atomic_long_read() directly instead of zone_page_state() to calculate the
delta as the latter filters negative counter values.

70ef57e6c2 mm: exclude memoryless nodes from zone_reclaim
We had a report about strange OOM killer strikes on a PPC machine
although there was a lot of swap free and a tons of anonymous memory
which could be swapped out.  In the end it turned out that the OOM was a
side effect of zone reclaim which wasn't unmapping and swapping out and
so the system was pushed to the OOM.  Although this sounds like a bug
somewhere in the kswapd vs.  zone reclaim vs.  direct reclaim
interaction numactl on the said hardware suggests that the zone reclaim
should not have been set in the first place:

  node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
  node 0 size: 0 MB
  node 0 free: 0 MB
  node 2 cpus:
  node 2 size: 7168 MB
  node 2 free: 6019 MB
  node distances:
  node   0   2
  0:  10  40
  2:  40  10

So all the CPUs are associated with Node0 which doesn't have any memory
while Node2 contains all the available memory.  Node distances cause an
automatic zone_reclaim_mode enabling.

Zone reclaim is intended to keep the allocations local but this doesn't
make any sense on the memoryless nodes.  So let's exclude such nodes for
init_zone_allows_reclaim which evaluates zone reclaim behavior and
suitable reclaim_nodes.

Since the naming, get/put_mems_allowed() does suggest a mandatory

seqcount interface.

This gives us: read_mems_allowed_begin() and read_mems_allowed_retry(),
where it is important to note that the return value of the latter call

The problem is that GFP_THISNODE obeys the zone fairness allocation
batches on one hand, but doesn't reset them and wake kswapd on the other
hand.  After a few of those allocations, the batches are exhausted and
the allocations fail.

Fixing this means either having GFP_THISNODE wake up kswapd, or
GFP_THISNODE not participating in zone fairness at all.  The latter
seems safer as an acute bugfix, we can clean up later.

668f9abbd4 mm: close PageTail race
Commit bf6bddf192 ("mm: introduce compaction and migration for
ballooned pages") introduces page_count(page) into memory compaction
which dereferences page->first_page if PageTail(page).

This results in a very rare NULL pointer dereference on the
aforementioned page_count(page).  Indeed, anything that does
compound_head(), including page_count() is susceptible to racing with
prep_compound_page() and seeing a NULL or dangling page->first_page
pointer.

This patch uses Andrea's implementation of compound_trans_head() that
deals with such a race and makes it the default compound_head()
implementation.  This includes a read memory barrier that ensures that
if PageTail(head) is true that we return a head page that is neither
NULL nor dangling.  The patch then adds a store memory barrier to
prep_compound_page() to ensure page->first_page is set.

This is the safest way to ensure we see the head page that we are
expecting, PageTail(page) is already in the unlikely() path and the
memory barriers are unfortunately required.

Hugetlbfs is the exception, we don't enforce a store memory barrier
during init since no race is possible.

309381feae mm: dump page when hitting a VM_BUG_ON using VM_BUG_ON_PAGE
Most of the VM_BUG_ON assertions are performed on a page.  Usually, when
one of these assertions fails we'll get a BUG_ON with a call stack and
the registers.

I've recently noticed based on the requests to add a small piece of code
that dumps the page to various VM_BUG_ON sites that the page dump is
quite useful to people debugging issues in mm.

This patch adds a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(cond, page) which beyond doing what
VM_BUG_ON() does, also dumps the page before executing the actual
BUG_ON.

f0b791a34c mm: print more details for bad_page()
bad_page() is cool in that it prints out a bunch of data about the page.
But, I can never remember which page flags are good and which are bad,
or whether ->index or ->mapping is required to be NULL.

This patch allows bad/dump_page() callers to specify a string about why
they are dumping the page and adds explanation strings to a number of
places.  It also adds a 'bad_flags' argument to bad_page(), which it
then dumps out separately from the flags which are actually set.

This way, the messages will show specifically why the page was bad,
*specifically* which flags it is complaining about, if it was a page
flag combination which was the problem.

Currently there are several functions to manipulate the deferred
compaction state variables.  The remaining case where the variables are
touched directly is when a successful allocation occurs in direct
compaction, or is expected to be successful in the future by kswapd.
Here, the lowest order that is expected to fail is updated, and in the
case of successful allocation, the deferred status and counter is reset
completely.

Create a new function compaction_defer_reset() to encapsulate this
functionality and make it easier to understand the code.  No functional

If users specify the original movablecore=nn@ss boot option, the kernel

option is similar except it specifies ZONE_NORMAL ranges.

Now, if users specify "movable_node" in kernel commandline, the kernel
will arrange hotpluggable memory in SRAT as ZONE_MOVABLE.  And if users
do this, all the other movablecore=nn@ss and kernelcore=nn@ss options
should be ignored.

For those who don't want this, just specify nothing.  The kernel will
act as before.

aec6a8889a mm, show_mem: remove SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT
Commit 4b59e6c473 ("mm, show_mem: suppress page counts in
non-blockable contexts") introduced SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT to
suppress PFN walks on large memory machines.  Commit c78e93630d ("mm:
do not walk all of system memory during show_mem") avoided a PFN walk in
the generic show_mem helper which removes the requirement for
SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT in that case.

This patch removes PFN walkers from the arch-specific implementations
that report on a per-node or per-zone granularity.  ARM and unicore32
still do a PFN walk as they report memory usage on each bank which is a
much finer granularity where the debugging information may still be of
use.  As the remaining arches doing PFN walks have relatively small
amounts of memory, this patch simply removes SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT.

943dca1a1f mm: get rid of unnecessary pageblock scanning in setup_zone_migrate_reserve
Yasuaki Ishimatsu reported memory hot-add spent more than 5 _hours_ on
9TB memory machine since onlining memory sections is too slow.  And we
found out setup_zone_migrate_reserve spent >90% of the time.

The problem is, setup_zone_migrate_reserve scans all pageblocks
unconditionally, but it is only necessary if the number of reserved
block was reduced (i.e.  memory hot remove).

Moreover, maximum MIGRATE_RESERVE per zone is currently 2.  It means
that the number of reserved pageblocks is almost always unchanged.

This patch adds zone->nr_migrate_reserve_block to maintain the number of
MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks and it reduces the overhead of
setup_zone_migrate_reserve dramatically.  The following table shows time
of onlining a memory section.

  Amount of memory     | 128GB | 192GB | 256GB|

fff4068cba mm: page_alloc: revert NUMA aspect of fair allocation policy
Commit 81c0a2bb51 ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") meant
to bring aging fairness among zones in system, but it was overzealous
and badly regressed basic workloads on NUMA systems.

Due to the way kswapd and page allocator interacts, we still want to
make sure that all zones in any given node are used equally for all
allocations to maximize memory utilization and prevent thrashing on the
highest zone in the node.

While the same principle applies to NUMA nodes - memory utilization is
obviously improved by spreading allocations throughout all nodes -
remote references can be costly and so many workloads prefer locality
over memory utilization.  The original change assumed that
zone_reclaim_mode would be a good enough predictor for that, but it
turned out to be as indicative as a coin flip.

Revert the NUMA aspect of the fairness until we can find a proper way to
make it configurable and agree on a sane default.

73f038b863 mm: page_alloc: exclude unreclaimable allocations from zone fairness policy
Dave Hansen noted a regression in a microbenchmark that loops around
open() and close() on an 8-node NUMA machine and bisected it down to
commit 81c0a2bb51 ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy").
That change forces the slab allocations of the file descriptor to spread
out to all 8 nodes, causing remote references in the page allocator and
slab.

The round-robin policy is only there to provide fairness among memory
allocations that are reclaimed involuntarily based on pressure in each
zone.  It does not make sense to apply it to unreclaimable kernel
allocations that are freed manually, in this case instantly after the
allocation, and incur the remote reference costs twice for no reason.

Only round-robin allocations that are usually freed through page reclaim
or slab shrinking.

0cbef29a78 mm: __rmqueue_fallback() should respect pageblock type
When __rmqueue_fallback() doesn't find a free block with the required size
it splits a larger page and puts the rest of the page onto the free list.

But it has one serious mistake.  When putting back, __rmqueue_fallback()
always use start_migratetype if type is not CMA.  However,
__rmqueue_fallback() is only called when all of the start_migratetype
queue is empty.  That said, __rmqueue_fallback always puts back memory to
the wrong queue except try_to_steal_freepages() changed pageblock type
(i.e.  requested size is smaller than half of page block).  The end result
is that the antifragmentation framework increases fragmenation instead of
decreasing it.

Mel's original anti fragmentation does the right thing.  But commit
47118af076 ("mm: mmzone: MIGRATE_CMA migration type added") broke it.

This patch restores sane and old behavior.  It also removes an incorrect
comment which was introduced by commit fef903efcf ("mm/page_alloc.c:

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.

This reverts commit cea27eb2a2 ("mm/memory-hotplug: fix lowmem count

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

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.

c8721bbbdd mm: memory-hotplug: enable memory hotplug to handle hugepage
Until now we can't offline memory blocks which contain hugepages because a
hugepage is considered as an unmovable page.  But now with this patch
series, a hugepage has become movable, so by using hugepage migration we
can offline such memory blocks.

What's different from other users of hugepage migration is that we need to
decompose all the hugepages inside the target memory block into free buddy
pages after hugepage migration, because otherwise free hugepages remaining
in the memory block intervene the memory offlining.  For this reason we
introduce new functions dissolve_free_huge_page() and
dissolve_free_huge_pages().

Other than that, what this patch does is straightforwardly to add hugepage
migration code, that is, adding hugepage code to the functions which scan
over pfn and collect hugepages to be migrated, and adding a hugepage
allocation function to alloc_migrate_target().

As for larger hugepages (1GB for x86_64), it's not easy to do hotremove
over them because it's larger than memory block.  So we now simply leave
it to fail as it is.

2bb921e526 vmstat: create separate function to fold per cpu diffs into local counters
The main idea behind this patchset is to reduce the vmstat update overhead
by avoiding interrupt enable/disable and the use of per cpu atomics.

This patch (of 3):

It is better to have a separate folding function because
refresh_cpu_vm_stats() also does other things like expire pages in the
page allocator caches.

If we have a separate function then refresh_cpu_vm_stats() is only called
from the local cpu which allows additional optimizations.

The folding function is only called when a cpu is being downed and
therefore no other processor will be accessing the counters.  Also
simplifies synchronization.

We rarely allocate a page with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS and it is used in slow
path.  For helping compiler optimization, add unlikely macro to
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS checking.

This patch doesn't have any effect now, because gcc already optimize this
properly.  But we cannot assume that gcc always does right and nobody
re-evaluate if gcc do proper optimization with their change, for example,
it is not optimized properly on v3.10.  So adding compiler hint here is

81c0a2bb51 mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy
Each zone that holds userspace pages of one workload must be aged at a
speed proportional to the zone size.  Otherwise, the time an individual
page gets to stay in memory depends on the zone it happened to be
allocated in.  Asymmetry in the zone aging creates rather unpredictable
aging behavior and results in the wrong pages being reclaimed, activated
etc.

But exactly this happens right now because of the way the page allocator
and kswapd interact.  The page allocator uses per-node lists of all zones
in the system, ordered by preference, when allocating a new page.  When
the first iteration does not yield any results, kswapd is woken up and the
allocator retries.  Due to the way kswapd reclaims zones below the high
watermark while a zone can be allocated from when it is above the low
watermark, the allocator may keep kswapd running while kswapd reclaim
ensures that the page allocator can keep allocating from the first zone in
the zonelist for extended periods of time.  Meanwhile the other zones
rarely see new allocations and thus get aged much slower in comparison.

The result is that the occasional page placed in lower zones gets
relatively more time in memory, even gets promoted to the active list
after its peers have long been evicted.  Meanwhile, the bulk of the
working set may be thrashing on the preferred zone even though there may
be significant amounts of memory available in the lower zones.

Even the most basic test -- repeatedly reading a file slightly bigger than
memory -- shows how broken the zone aging is.  In this scenario, no single
page should be able stay in memory long enough to get referenced twice and
activated, but activation happens in spades:

  $ grep active_file /proc/zoneinfo
      nr_inactive_file 0
      nr_active_file 0
      nr_inactive_file 0
      nr_active_file 8
      nr_inactive_file 1582
      nr_active_file 11994
  $ cat data data data data >/dev/null
  $ grep active_file /proc/zoneinfo
      nr_inactive_file 0
      nr_active_file 70
      nr_inactive_file 258753
      nr_active_file 443214
      nr_inactive_file 149793
      nr_active_file 12021

Fix this with a very simple round robin allocator.  Each zone is allowed a
batch of allocations that is proportional to the zone's size, after which
it is treated as full.  The batch counters are reset when all zones have
been tried and the allocator enters the slowpath and kicks off kswapd
reclaim.  Allocation and reclaim is now fairly spread out to all
available/allowable zones:

  $ grep active_file /proc/zoneinfo
      nr_inactive_file 0
      nr_active_file 0
      nr_inactive_file 174
      nr_active_file 4865
      nr_inactive_file 53
      nr_active_file 860
  $ cat data data data data >/dev/null
  $ grep active_file /proc/zoneinfo
      nr_inactive_file 0
      nr_active_file 0
      nr_inactive_file 666622
      nr_active_file 4988
      nr_inactive_file 190969
      nr_active_file 937

When zone_reclaim_mode is enabled, allocations will now spread out to all
zones on the local node, not just the first preferred zone (which on a 4G
node might be a tiny Normal zone).

f92310c187 mm/page_alloc.c: fix the value of fallback_migratetype in alloc_extfrag tracepoint()
In the current code, the value of fallback_migratetype that is printed
using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint, is the value of the
migratetype *after* it has been set to the preferred migratetype (if the
ownership was changed).  Obviously that wouldn't have been the original
intent.  (We already have a separate 'change_ownership' field to tell
whether the ownership of the pageblock was changed from the
fallback_migratetype to the preferred type.)

The intent of the fallback_migratetype field is to show the migratetype
from which we borrowed pages in order to satisfy the allocation request.
So fix the code to print that value correctly.

fef903efcf mm/page_allo.c: restructure free-page stealing code and fix a bug
The free-page stealing code in __rmqueue_fallback() is somewhat hard to
follow, and has an incredible amount of subtlety hidden inside!

First off, there is a minor bug in the reporting of change-of-ownership of
pageblocks.  Under some conditions, we try to move upto
'pageblock_nr_pages' no.  of pages to the preferred allocation list.  But
we change the ownership of that pageblock to the preferred type only if we
manage to successfully move atleast half of that pageblock (or if
page_group_by_mobility_disabled is set).

However, the current code ignores the latter part and sets the
'migratetype' variable to the preferred type, irrespective of whether we
actually changed the pageblock migratetype of that block or not.  So, the
page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint can end up printing incorrect info (i.e.,
'change_ownership' might be shown as 1 when it must have been 0).

So fixing this involves moving the update of the 'migratetype' variable to
the right place.  But looking closer, we observe that the 'migratetype'
variable is used subsequently for checks such as "is_migrate_cma()".
Obviously the intent there is to check if the *fallback* type is
MIGRATE_CMA, but since we already set the 'migratetype' variable to
start_migratetype, we end up checking if the *preferred* type is
MIGRATE_CMA!!

To make things more interesting, this actually doesn't cause a bug in
practice, because we never change *anything* if the fallback type is CMA.

So, restructure the code in such a way that it is trivial to understand
what is going on, and also fix the above mentioned bug.  And while at it,
also add a comment explaining the subtlety behind the migratetype used in
the call to expand().

345606d429 mm/page_alloc.c: remove unlikely() from the current_order test
In __rmqueue_fallback(), current_order loops down from MAX_ORDER - 1 to
the order passed.  MAX_ORDER is typically 11 and pageblock_order is
typically 9 on x86.  Integer division truncates, so pageblock_order / 2
is 4.  For the first eight iterations, it's guaranteed that
current_order >= pageblock_order / 2 if it even gets that far!

So just remove the unlikely(), it's completely bogus.

bc732f1d55 mm/page_alloc.c: remove zone_type argument of build_zonelists_node
The callers of build_zonelists_node always pass MAX_NR_ZONES -1 as the
zone_type argument, so we can directly use the value in
build_zonelists_node and remove zone_type argument.

7960aedde8 mm: remove duplicated call of get_pfn_range_for_nid
When calculating pages in a node, for each zone in that node, we will
have

  zone_spanned_pages_in_node
    --> get_pfn_range_for_nid
  zone_absent_pages_in_node
    --> get_pfn_range_for_nid

That is to say, we call the get_pfn_range_for_nid to get start_pfn and
end_pfn of the node for MAX_NR_ZONES * 2 times.  And this is totally
unnecessary if we call the get_pfn_range_for_nid before
zone_*_pages_in_node add two extra arguments node_start_pfn and
node_end_pfn for zone_*_pages_in_node, then we can remove the
get_pfn_range_in_node in zone_*_pages_in_node.

7ee3d4e8cd mm: introduce helper function mem_init_print_info() to simplify mem_init()
Introduce helper function mem_init_print_info() to simplify mem_init()
across different architectures, which also unifies the format and
information printed.

Function mem_init_print_info() calculates memory statistics information
without walking each page, so it should be a little faster on some
architectures.

Also introduce another helper get_num_physpages() to kill the global
variable num_physpages.

cdd91a7704 mm: report available pages as "MemTotal" for each NUMA node
As reported by https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53501,
"MemTotal" from /proc/meminfo means memory pages managed by the buddy
system (managed_pages), but "MemTotal" from /sys/.../node/nodex/meminfo
means physical pages present (present_pages) within the NUMA node.
There's a difference between managed_pages and present_pages due to
bootmem allocator and reserved pages.

And Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt says
    MemTotal: Total usable ram (i.e. physical ram minus a few reserved
              bits and the kernel binary code)

So change /sys/.../node/nodex/meminfo to report available pages within
the node as "MemTotal".

3dcc0571cd mm: correctly update zone->managed_pages
Enhance adjust_managed_page_count() to adjust totalhigh_pages for
highmem pages.  And change code which directly adjusts totalram_pages to
use adjust_managed_page_count() because it adjusts totalram_pages,
totalhigh_pages and zone->managed_pages altogether in a safe way.

Remove inc_totalhigh_pages() and dec_totalhigh_pages() from xen/balloon
driver bacause adjust_managed_page_count() has already adjusted
totalhigh_pages.

This patch also fixes two bugs:

1) enhances virtio_balloon driver to adjust totalhigh_pages when
   reserve/unreserve pages.
2) enhance memory_hotplug.c to adjust totalhigh_pages when hot-removing
   memory.

We still need to deal with modifications of totalram_pages in file
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/cmm.c, but need help from PPC experts.

170a5a7eb2 mm: make __free_pages_bootmem() only available at boot time
In order to simpilify management of totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages, make __free_pages_bootmem() only available at boot
time.  With this change applied, __free_pages_bootmem() will only be
used by bootmem.c and nobootmem.c at boot time, so mark it as __init.
Other callers of __free_pages_bootmem() have been converted to use
free_reserved_page(), which handles totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages in a safer way.

This patch also fix a bug in free_pagetable() for x86_64, which should
increase zone->managed_pages instead of zone->present_pages when freeing
reserved pages.

And now we have managed_pages_count_lock to protect totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages, so remove the redundant ppb_lock lock in
put_page_bootmem().  This greatly simplifies the locking rules.

c3d5f5f0c2 mm: use a dedicated lock to protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages
Currently lock_memory_hotplug()/unlock_memory_hotplug() are used to
protect totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages.  Other than the memory
hotplug driver, totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages may also be
modified at runtime by other drivers, such as Xen balloon,
virtio_balloon etc.  For those cases, memory hotplug lock is a little
too heavy, so introduce a dedicated lock to protect totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages.

Now we have a simplified locking rules totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages as:

1) no locking for read accesses because they are unsigned long.
2) no locking for write accesses at boot time in single-threaded context.
3) serialize write accesses at runtime by acquiring the dedicated
   managed_page_count_lock.

Also adjust zone->managed_pages when freeing reserved pages into the
buddy system, to keep totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in
consistence.

7b4b2a0d6c mm: accurately calculate zone->managed_pages for highmem zones
Commit "mm: introduce new field 'managed_pages' to struct zone" assumes
that all highmem pages will be freed into the buddy system by function
mem_init().  But that's not always true, some architectures may reserve
some highmem pages during boot.  For example PPC may allocate highmem
pages for giagant HugeTLB pages, and several architectures have code to
check PageReserved flag to exclude highmem pages allocated during boot
when freeing highmem pages into the buddy system.

So treat highmem pages in the same way as normal pages, that is to:
1) reset zone->managed_pages to zero in mem_init().
2) recalculate managed_pages when freeing pages into the buddy system.

169f6c1999 mm/page_alloc: don't re-init pageset in zone_pcp_update()
When memory hotplug is triggered, we call pageset_init() on
per-cpu-pagesets which both contain pages and are in use, causing both the
leakage of those pages and (potentially) bad behaviour if a page is
allocated from a pageset while it is being cleared.

Avoid this by factoring out pageset_set_high_and_batch() (which contains
all needed logic too set a pageset's ->high and ->batch inrespective of
system state) from zone_pageset_init() and using the new
pageset_set_high_and_batch() instead of zone_pageset_init() in
zone_pcp_update().

0a647f3811 mm/page_alloc: convert zone_pcp_update() to rely on memory barriers instead of stop_machine()
zone_pcp_update()'s goal is to adjust the ->high and ->mark members of a
percpu pageset based on a zone's ->managed_pages.  We don't need to drain
the entire percpu pageset just to modify these fields.

This lets us avoid calling setup_pageset() (and the draining required to
call it) and instead allows simply setting the fields' values (with some
attention paid to memory barriers to prevent the relationship between
->batch and ->high from being thrown off).

This does change the behavior of zone_pcp_update() as the percpu pagesets
will not be drained when zone_pcp_update() is called (they will end up
being shrunk, not completely drained, later when a 0-order page is freed
in free_hot_cold_page()).

8d7a8fa97a mm/page_alloc: insert memory barriers to allow async update of pcp batch and high
Introduce pageset_update() to perform a safe transision from one set of
pcp->{batch,high} to a new set using memory barriers.

This ensures that batch is always set to a safe value (1) prior to
updating high, and ensure that high is fully updated before setting the
real value of batch.  It avoids ->batch ever rising above ->high.

4008bab7b3 mm/page_alloc: factor out setting of pcp->high and pcp->batch
"Problems" with the current code:

1: there is a lack of synchronization in setting ->high and ->batch in
   percpu_pagelist_fraction_sysctl_handler()

2: stop_machine() in zone_pcp_update() is unnecissary.

3: zone_pcp_update() does not consider the case where
   percpu_pagelist_fraction is non-zero

To fix:

1: add memory barriers, a safe ->batch value, an update side mutex when
   updating ->high and ->batch, and use ACCESS_ONCE() for ->batch users
   that expect a stable value.

2: avoid draining pages in zone_pcp_update(), rely upon the memory
   barriers added to fix #1

3: factor out quite a few functions, and then call the appropriate one.

Note that it results in a change to the behavior of zone_pcp_update(),
which is used by memory_hotplug.  I'm rather certain that I've diserned
(and preserved) the essential behavior (changing ->high and ->batch), and
only eliminated unneeded actions (draining the per cpu pages), but this
may not be the case.

Further note that the draining of pages that previously took place in
zone_pcp_update() occured after repeated draining when attempting to
offline a page, and after the offline has "succeeded".  It appears that
the draining was added to zone_pcp_update() to avoid refactoring
setup_pageset() into 2 funtions.

This patch:

Creates pageset_set_batch() for use in setup_pageset().
pageset_set_batch() imitates the functionality of
setup_pagelist_highmark(), but uses the boot time
(percpu_pagelist_fraction == 0) calculations for determining ->high based
on ->batch.

026b081479 mm/page_alloc.c: fix watermark check in __zone_watermark_ok()
The watermark check consists of two sub-checks.  The first one is:

	if (free_pages <= min + lowmem_reserve)
		return false;

The check assures that there is minimal amount of RAM in the zone.  If
CMA is used then the free_pages is reduced by the number of free pages
in CMA prior to the over-mentioned check.

	if (!(alloc_flags & ALLOC_CMA))
		free_pages -= zone_page_state(z, NR_FREE_CMA_PAGES);

This prevents the zone from being drained from pages available for
non-movable allocations.

The second check prevents the zone from getting too fragmented.

	for (o = 0; o < order; o++) {
		free_pages -= z->free_area[o].nr_free << o;
		min >>= 1;
		if (free_pages <= min)
			return false;
	}

The field z->free_area[o].nr_free is equal to the number of free pages
including free CMA pages.  Therefore the CMA pages are subtracted twice.
This may cause a false positive fail of __zone_watermark_ok() if the CMA
area gets strongly fragmented.  In such a case there are many 0-order
free pages located in CMA.  Those pages are subtracted twice therefore
they will quickly drain free_pages during the check against
fragmentation.  The test fails even though there are many free non-cma
pages in the zone.

This patch fixes this issue by subtracting CMA pages only for a purpose of
(free_pages <= min + lowmem_reserve) check.

Laura said:

  We were observing allocation failures of higher order pages (order 5 =
  128K typically) under tight memory conditions resulting in driver
  failure.  The output from the page allocation failure showed plenty of
  free pages of the appropriate order/type/zone and mostly CMA pages in
  the lower orders.

  For full disclosure, we still observed some page allocation failures
  even after applying the patch but the number was drastically reduced and
  those failures were attributed to fragmentation/other system issues.

7c243c7168 mm: speedup in __early_pfn_to_nid
When booting on a large memory system, the kernel spends considerable
time in memmap_init_zone() setting up memory zones.  Analysis shows
significant time spent in __early_pfn_to_nid().

The routine memmap_init_zone() checks each PFN to verify the nid is
valid.  __early_pfn_to_nid() sequentially scans the list of pfn ranges
to find the right range and returns the nid.  This does not scale well.
On a 4 TB (single rack) system there are 308 memory ranges to scan.  The
higher the PFN the more time spent sequentially spinning through memory
ranges.

Since memmap_init_zone() increments pfn, it will almost always be
looking for the same range as the previous pfn, so check that range
first.  If it is in the same range, return that nid.  If not, scan the
list as before.

A 4 TB (single rack) UV1 system takes 512 seconds to get through the
zone code.  This performance optimization reduces the time by 189
seconds, a 36% improvement.

A 2 TB (single rack) UV2 system goes from 212.7 seconds to 99.8 seconds,
a 112.9 second (53%) reduction.

fed2719e7a mm: page_alloc: avoid marking zones full prematurely after zone_reclaim()
The following problem was reported against a distribution kernel when
zone_reclaim was enabled but the same problem applies to the mainline
kernel.  The reproduction case was as follows

1. Run numactl -m +0 dd if=largefile of=/dev/null
   This allocates a large number of clean pages in node 0

2. numactl -N +0 memhog 0.5*Mg
   This start a memory-using application in node 0.

The expected behaviour is that the clean pages get reclaimed and the
application uses node 0 for its memory.  The observed behaviour was that
the memory for the memhog application was allocated off-node since
commits cd38b115d5 ("mm: page allocator: initialise ZLC for first zone
eligible for zone_reclaim") and commit 76d3fbf8fb ("mm: page
allocator: reconsider zones for allocation after direct reclaim").

The assumption of those patches was that it was always preferable to
allocate quickly than stall for long periods of time and they were meant
to take care that the zone was only marked full when necessary but an
important case was missed.

In the allocator fast path, only the low watermarks are checked.  If the
zones free pages are between the low and min watermark then allocations
from the allocators slow path will succeed.  However, zone_reclaim will
only reclaim SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX or 1<<order pages.  There is no guarantee
that this will meet the low watermark causing the zone to be marked full
prematurely.

This patch will only mark the zone full after zone_reclaim if it the min
watermarks are checked or if page reclaim failed to make sufficient
progress.

949f7ec576 mm, hugetlb: include hugepages in meminfo
Particularly in oom conditions, it's troublesome that hugetlb memory is
not displayed.  All other meminfo that is emitted will not add up to
what is expected, and there is no artifact left in the kernel log to
show that a potentially significant amount of memory is actually
allocated as hugepages which are not available to be reclaimed.

Booting with hugepages=8192 on the command line, this memory is now
shown in oom conditions.  For example, with echo m >
/proc/sysrq-trigger:

  Node 0 hugepages_total=2048 hugepages_free=2048 hugepages_surp=0 hugepages_size=2048kB

cfa11e08ed mm: introduce free_highmem_page() helper to free highmem pages into buddy system
The original goal of this patchset is to fix the bug reported by

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53501

Now it has also been expanded to reduce common code used by memory
initializion.

This is the second part, which applies to the previous part at:
  http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=136289696323825&w=2

It introduces a helper function free_highmem_page() to free highmem
pages into the buddy system when initializing mm subsystem.
Introduction of free_highmem_page() is one step forward to clean up
accesses and modificaitons of totalhigh_pages, totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages etc. I hope we could remove all references to
totalhigh_pages from the arch/ subdirectory.

We have only tested these patchset on x86 platforms, and have done basic
compliation tests using cross-compilers from ftp.kernel.org. That means
some code may not pass compilation on some architectures. So any help
to test this patchset are welcomed!

There are several other parts still under development:
Part3: refine code to manage totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and
	zone->managed_pages
Part4: introduce helper functions to simplify mem_init() and remove the
	global variable num_physpages.

This patch:

Introduce helper function free_highmem_page(), which will be used by
architectures with HIGHMEM enabled to free highmem pages into the buddy
system.

69afade72a mm: introduce common help functions to deal with reserved/managed pages
The original goal of this patchset is to fix the bug reported by

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53501

Now it has also been expanded to reduce common code used by memory
initializion.

This is the first part, which applies to v3.9-rc1.

It introduces following common helper functions to simplify
free_initmem() and free_initrd_mem() on different architectures:

adjust_managed_page_count():
	will be used to adjust totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages,
	zone->managed_pages when reserving/unresering a page.

__free_reserved_page():
	free a reserved page into the buddy system without adjusting
	page statistics info

free_reserved_page():
	free a reserved page into the buddy system and adjust page
	statistics info

mark_page_reserved():
	mark a page as reserved and adjust page statistics info

free_reserved_area():
	free a continous ranges of pages by calling free_reserved_page()

free_initmem_default():
	default method to free __init pages.

We have only tested these patchset on x86 platforms, and have done basic
compliation tests using cross-compilers from ftp.kernel.org.  That means
some code may not pass compilation on some architectures.  So any help to
test this patchset are welcomed!

There are several other parts still under development:
Part2: introduce free_highmem_page() to simplify freeing highmem pages
Part3: refine code to manage totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and
	zone->managed_pages
Part4: introduce helper functions to simplify mem_init() and remove the
	global variable num_physpages.

This patch:

Code to deal with reserved/managed pages are duplicated by many
architectures, so introduce common help functions to reduce duplicated
code.  These common help functions will also be used to concentrate code
to modify totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages, which makes the code
much more clear.

4b59e6c473 mm, show_mem: suppress page counts in non-blockable contexts
On large systems with a lot of memory, walking all RAM to determine page
types may take a half second or even more.

In non-blockable contexts, the page allocator will emit a page allocation
failure warning unless __GFP_NOWARN is specified.  In such contexts, irqs
are typically disabled and such a lengthy delay may even result in NMI
watchdog timeouts.

To fix this, suppress the page walk in such contexts when printing the
page allocation failure warning.

Don Morris reproduced on a HP z620 workstation, and bisected it to
commit e8d1955258 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock
is ready")

It turns out movable_map has some problems, and it breaks several things

1. numa_init is called several times, NOT just for srat. so those
	nodes_clear(numa_nodes_parsed)
	memset(&numa_meminfo, 0, sizeof(numa_meminfo))
   can not be just removed.  Need to consider sequence is: numaq, srat, amd, dummy.
   and make fall back path working.

2. simply split acpi_numa_init to early_parse_srat.
   a. that early_parse_srat is NOT called for ia64, so you break ia64.
   b.  for (i = 0; i < MAX_LOCAL_APIC; i++)
	     set_apicid_to_node(i, NUMA_NO_NODE)
     still left in numa_init. So it will just clear result from early_parse_srat.
     it should be moved before that....
   c.  it breaks ACPI_TABLE_OVERIDE...as the acpi table scan is moved
       early before override from INITRD is settled.

3. that patch TITLE is total misleading, there is NO x86 in the title,
   but it changes critical x86 code. It caused x86 guys did not
   pay attention to find the problem early. Those patches really should
   be routed via tip/x86/mm.

4. after that commit, following range can not use movable ram:
  a. real_mode code.... well..funny, legacy Node0 [0,1M) could be hot-removed?
  b. initrd... it will be freed after booting, so it could be on movable...
  c. crashkernel for kdump...: looks like we can not put kdump kernel above 4G
	anymore.
  d. init_mem_mapping: can not put page table high anymore.
  e. initmem_init: vmemmap can not be high local node anymore. That is
     not good.

If node is hotplugable, the mem related range like page table and
vmemmap could be on the that node without problem and should be on that
node.

We have workaround patch that could fix some problems, but some can not
be fixed.

So just remove that offending commit and related ones including:

 f7210e6c4a ("mm/memblock.c: use CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP to
    protect movablecore_map in memblock_overlaps_region().")

 01a178a94e ("acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from
    SRAT")

 27168d38fa ("acpi, memory-hotplug: extend movablemem_map ranges to
    the end of node")

 e8d1955258 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock is
    ready")

 fb06bc8e5f ("page_alloc: bootmem limit with movablecore_map")

 42f47e27e7 ("page_alloc: make movablemem_map have higher priority")

 6981ec3114 ("page_alloc: introduce zone_movable_limit[] to keep
    movable limit for nodes")

 34b71f1e04 ("page_alloc: add movable_memmap kernel parameter")

 4d59a75125 ("x86: get pg_data_t's memory from other node")

Later we should have patches that will make sure kernel put page table
and vmemmap on local node ram instead of push them down to node0.  Also
need to find way to put other kernel used ram to local node ram.

108bcc96ef mm: add & use zone_end_pfn() and zone_spans_pfn()
Add 2 helpers (zone_end_pfn() and zone_spans_pfn()) to reduce code
duplication.

This also switches to using them in compaction (where an additional
variable needed to be renamed), page_alloc, vmstat, memory_hotplug, and
kmemleak.

Note that in compaction.c I avoid calling zone_end_pfn() repeatedly
because I expect at some point the sycronization issues with start_pfn &
spanned_pages will need fixing, either by actually using the seqlock or
clever memory barrier usage.

The function names page_xchg_last_nid(), page_last_nid() and
reset_page_last_nid() were judged to be inconsistent so rename them to a
struct_field_op style pattern.  As it looked jarring to have
reset_page_mapcount() and page_nid_reset_last() beside each other in
memmap_init_zone(), this patch also renames reset_page_mapcount() to
page_mapcount_reset().  There are others like init_page_count() but as
it is used throughout the arch code a rename would likely cause more
conflicts than it is worth.

21caf2fc19 mm: teach mm by current context info to not do I/O during memory allocation
This patch introduces PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO on process flag('flags' field of
'struct task_struct'), so that the flag can be set by one task to avoid
doing I/O inside memory allocation in the task's context.

The patch trys to solve one deadlock problem caused by block device, and
the problem may happen at least in the below situations:

- during block device runtime resume, if memory allocation with
  GFP_KERNEL is called inside runtime resume callback of any one of its
  ancestors(or the block device itself), the deadlock may be triggered
  inside the memory allocation since it might not complete until the block
  device becomes active and the involed page I/O finishes.  The situation
  is pointed out first by Alan Stern.  It is not a good approach to
  convert all GFP_KERNEL[1] in the path into GFP_NOIO because several
  subsystems may be involved(for example, PCI, USB and SCSI may be
  involved for usb mass stoarage device, network devices involved too in
  the iSCSI case)

- during block device runtime suspend, because runtime resume need to
  wait for completion of concurrent runtime suspend.

- during error handling of usb mass storage deivce, USB bus reset will
  be put on the device, so there shouldn't have any memory allocation with
  GFP_KERNEL during USB bus reset, otherwise the deadlock similar with
  above may be triggered.  Unfortunately, any usb device may include one
  mass storage interface in theory, so it requires all usb interface
  drivers to handle the situation.  In fact, most usb drivers don't know
  how to handle bus reset on the device and don't provide .pre_set() and
  .post_reset() callback at all, so USB core has to unbind and bind driver
  for these devices.  So it is still not practical to resort to GFP_NOIO
  for solving the problem.

Also the introduced solution can be used by block subsystem or block
drivers too, for example, set the PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag before doing
actual I/O transfer.

It is not a good idea to convert all these GFP_KERNEL in the affected
path into GFP_NOIO because these functions doing that may be implemented
as library and will be called in many other contexts.

In fact, memalloc_noio_flags() can convert some of current static
GFP_NOIO allocation into GFP_KERNEL back in other non-affected contexts,
at least almost all GFP_NOIO in USB subsystem can be converted into
GFP_KERNEL after applying the approach and make allocation with GFP_NOIO
only happen in runtime resume/bus reset/block I/O transfer contexts
generally.

[1], several GFP_KERNEL allocation examples in runtime resume path

- pci subsystem
acpi_os_allocate
	<-acpi_ut_allocate
		<-ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED
			<-acpi_evaluate_object
				<-__acpi_bus_set_power
					<-acpi_bus_set_power
						<-acpi_pci_set_power_state
							<-platform_pci_set_power_state
								<-pci_platform_power_transition
									<-__pci_complete_power_transition
										<-pci_set_power_state
											<-pci_restore_standard_config
												<-pci_pm_runtime_resume
- usb subsystem
usb_get_status
	<-finish_port_resume
		<-usb_port_resume
			<-generic_resume
				<-usb_resume_device
					<-usb_resume_both
						<-usb_runtime_resume

- some individual usb drivers
usblp, uvc, gspca, most of dvb-usb-v2 media drivers, cpia2, az6007, ....

That is just what I have found.  Unfortunately, this allocation can only
be found by human being now, and there should be many not found since
any function in the resume path(call tree) may allocate memory with
GFP_KERNEL.

Several functions test MIGRATE_ISOLATE and some of those are hotpath but
MIGRATE_ISOLATE is used only if we enable CONFIG_MEMORY_ISOLATION(ie,
CMA, memory-hotplug and memory-failure) which are not common config

01a178a94e acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from SRAT
We now provide an option for users who don't want to specify physical
memory address in kernel commandline.

         /*
          * For movablemem_map=acpi:
          *
          * SRAT:                |_____| |_____| |_________| |_________| ......
          * node id:                0       1         1           2
          * hotpluggable:           n       y         y           n
          * movablemem_map:              |_____| |_________|
          *
          * Using movablemem_map, we can prevent memblock from allocating memory
          * on ZONE_MOVABLE at boot time.
          */

So user just specify movablemem_map=acpi, and the kernel will use
hotpluggable info in SRAT to determine which memory ranges should be set
as ZONE_MOVABLE.

If all the memory ranges in SRAT is hotpluggable, then no memory can be
used by kernel.  But before parsing SRAT, memblock has already reserve
some memory ranges for other purposes, such as for kernel image, and so
on.  We cannot prevent kernel from using these memory.  So we need to
exclude these ranges even if these memory is hotpluggable.

Furthermore, there could be several memory ranges in the single node
which the kernel resides in.  We may skip one range that have memory
reserved by memblock, but if the rest of memory is too small, then the
kernel will fail to boot.  So, make the whole node which the kernel
resides in un-hotpluggable.  Then the kernel has enough memory to use.

NOTE: Using this way will cause NUMA performance down because the
      whole node will be set as ZONE_MOVABLE, and kernel cannot use memory
      on it.  If users don't want to lose NUMA performance, just don't use
      it.

27168d38fa acpi, memory-hotplug: extend movablemem_map ranges to the end of node
When implementing movablemem_map boot option, we introduced an array
movablemem_map.map[] to store the memory ranges to be set as
ZONE_MOVABLE.

Since ZONE_MOVABLE is the latst zone of a node, if user didn't specify
the whole node memory range, we need to extend it to the node end so
that we can use it to prevent memblock from allocating memory in the
ranges user didn't specify.

We now implement movablemem_map boot option like this:

        /*
         * For movablemem_map=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]:
         *
         * SRAT:                |_____| |_____| |_________| |_________| ......
         * node id:                0       1         1           2
         * user specified:                |__|                 |___|
         * movablemem_map:                |___| |_________|    |______| ......
         *
         * Using movablemem_map, we can prevent memblock from allocating memory
         * on ZONE_MOVABLE at boot time.
         *
         * NOTE: In this case, SRAT info will be ingored.

7c45512df9 mm: fix pageblock bitmap allocation
Commit c060f943d0 ("mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx
calculation") fixed out calculation of the index into the pageblock
bitmap when a !SPARSEMEM zome was not aligned to pageblock_nr_pages.

However, the _allocation_ of that bitmap had never taken this alignment
requirement into accout, so depending on the exact size and alignment of
the zone, the use of that index could then access past the allocation,
resulting in some very subtle memory corruption.

This was reported (and bisected) by Ingo Molnar: one of his random
config builds would hang with certain very specific kernel command line
options.

In the meantime, commit c060f943d0 has been marked for stable, so this
fix needs to be back-ported to the stable kernels that backported the
commit to use the right alignment.

8fb74b9fb2 mm: compaction: partially revert capture of suitable high-order page
Eric Wong reported on 3.7 and 3.8-rc2 that ppoll() got stuck when
waiting for POLLIN on a local TCP socket.  It was easier to trigger if
there was disk IO and dirty pages at the same time and he bisected it to
commit 1fb3f8ca0e ("mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page
immediately when it is made available").

The intention of that patch was to improve high-order allocations under
memory pressure after changes made to reclaim in 3.6 drastically hurt
THP allocations but the approach was flawed.  For Eric, the problem was
that page->pfmemalloc was not being cleared for captured pages leading
to a poor interaction with swap-over-NFS support causing the packets to
be dropped.  However, I identified a few more problems with the patch
including the fact that it can increase contention on zone->lock in some
cases which could result in async direct compaction being aborted early.

In retrospect the capture patch took the wrong approach.  What it should
have done is mark the pageblock being migrated as MIGRATE_ISOLATE if it
was allocating for THP and avoided races that way.  While the patch was
showing to improve allocation success rates at the time, the benefit is
marginal given the relative complexity and it should be revisited from
scratch in the context of the other reclaim-related changes that have
taken place since the patch was first written and tested.  This patch
partially reverts commit 1fb3f8ca0e ("mm: compaction: capture a
suitable high-order page immediately when it is made available").

c060f943d0 mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx calculation
The current calculation in pfn_to_bitidx assumes that (pfn -
zone->zone_start_pfn) >> pageblock_order will return the same bit for
all pfn in a pageblock.  If zone_start_pfn is not aligned to
pageblock_nr_pages, this may not always be correct.

Consider the following with pageblock order = 10, zone start 2MB:

  pfn     | pfn - zone start | (pfn - zone start) >> page block order
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  0x26000 | 0x25e00	   |  0x97
  0x26100 | 0x25f00	   |  0x97
  0x26200 | 0x26000	   |  0x98
  0x26300 | 0x26100	   |  0x98

This means that calling {get,set}_pageblock_migratetype on a single page
will not set the migratetype for the full block.  Fix this by rounding
down zone_start_pfn when doing the bitidx calculation.

For our use case, the effects of this bug were mostly tied to the fact
that CMA allocations would either take a long time or fail to happen.
Depending on the driver using CMA, this could result in anything from
visual glitches to application failures.

a458431e17 mm: fix zone_watermark_ok_safe() accounting of isolated pages
Commit 702d1a6e07 ("memory-hotplug: fix kswapd looping forever
problem") added an isolated pageblocks counter (nr_pageblock_isolate in
struct zone) and used it to adjust free pages counter in
zone_watermark_ok_safe() to prevent kswapd looping forever problem.

Then later, commit 2139cbe627 ("cma: fix counting of isolated pages")
fixed accounting of isolated pages in global free pages counter.  It
made the previous zone_watermark_ok_safe() fix unnecessary and
potentially harmful (cause now isolated pages may be accounted twice
making free pages counter incorrect).

This patch removes the special isolated pageblocks counter altogether
which fixes zone_watermark_ok_safe() free pages check.

6a1a0d3b62 mm: allocate kernel pages to the right memcg
When a process tries to allocate a page with the __GFP_KMEMCG flag, the
page allocator will call the corresponding memcg functions to validate
the allocation.  Tasks in the root memcg can always proceed.

To avoid adding markers to the page - and a kmem flag that would
necessarily follow, as much as doing page_cgroup lookups for no reason,
whoever is marking its allocations with __GFP_KMEMCG flag is responsible
for telling the page allocator that this is such an allocation at
free_pages() time.  This is done by the invocation of
__free_accounted_pages() and free_accounted_pages().
