__GFP_NOWARN is frequently used by kernel code to probe for "how big
an allocation can I get". That's a bit lame, but it's used on slow
paths and is pretty simple.
However, SLAB would still spew a warning when a big allocation happens
if the __GFP_NOWARN flag is _not_ set to expose kernel bugs.

The lockless reclaim hierarchy iterator currently has a misplaced
barrier that can lead to use-after-free crashes.
The reclaim hierarchy iterator consist of a sequence count and a
position pointer that are read and written locklessly, with memory
barriers enforcing ordering.
The write side sets the position pointer first, then updates the
sequence count to "publish" the new position. Likewise, the read side
must read the sequence count first, then the position. If the sequence
count is up to date, it's guaranteed that the position is up to date as
well:
writer: reader:
iter->position = position if iter->sequence == expected:
smp_wmb() smp_rmb()
iter->sequence = sequence position = iter->position
However, the read side barrier is currently misplaced, which can lead to
dereferencing stale position pointers that no longer point to valid
memory. Fix this.

The bitmap accessed by bitops must have enough size to hold the required
numbers of bits rounded up to a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG. And the
bitmap must not be zeroed by memset() if the number of bits cleared is
not a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG.
This fixes incorrect zeroing and allocation size for frontswap_map. The
incorrect zeroing part doesn't cause any problem because frontswap_map
is freed just after zeroing. But the wrongly calculated allocation size
may cause the problem.
For 32bit systems, the allocation size of frontswap_map is about twice
as large as required size. For 64bit systems, the allocation size is
smaller than requeired if the number of bits is not a multiple of
BITS_PER_LONG.

When we have a page fault for the address which is backed by a hugepage
under migration, the kernel can't wait correctly and do busy looping on
hugepage fault until the migration finishes. As a result, users who try
to kick hugepage migration (via soft offlining, for example) occasionally
experience long delay or soft lockup.
This is because pte_offset_map_lock() can't get a correct migration entry
or a correct page table lock for hugepage. This patch introduces
migration_entry_wait_huge() to solve this.

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.

read_swap_cache_async() can race against get_swap_page(), and stumble
across a SWAP_HAS_CACHE entry in the swap map whose page wasn't brought
into the swapcache yet.
This transient swap_map state is expected to be transitory, but the
actual placement of discard at scan_swap_map() inserts a wait for I/O
completion thus making the thread at read_swap_cache_async() to loop
around its -EEXIST case, while the other end at get_swap_page() is
scheduled away at scan_swap_map(). This can leave the system deadlocked
if the I/O completion happens to be waiting on the CPU waitqueue where
read_swap_cache_async() is busy looping and !CONFIG_PREEMPT.
This patch introduces a cond_resched() call to make the aforementioned
read_swap_cache_async() busy loop condition to bail out when necessary,
thus avoiding the subtle race window.

However now we can get concurrency and stuff goes *bang*.
This patch removes all tlb_fast_mode() code; it was found the better
option vs trying to patch the hole by entangling tlb invalidation with

A panic can be caused by simply cat'ing /proc/<pid>/smaps while an
application has a VM_PFNMAP range. It happened in-house when a
benchmarker was trying to decipher the memory layout of his program.
/proc/<pid>/smaps and similar walks through a user page table should not
be looking at VM_PFNMAP areas.
Certain tests in walk_page_range() (specifically split_huge_page_pmd())
assume that all the mapped PFN's are backed with page structures. And
this is not usually true for VM_PFNMAP areas. This can result in panics
on kernel page faults when attempting to address those page structures.
There are a half dozen callers of walk_page_range() that walk through a
task's entire page table (as N. Horiguchi pointed out). So rather than
change all of them, this patch changes just walk_page_range() to ignore
VM_PFNMAP areas.
The logic of hugetlb_vma() is moved back into walk_page_range(), as we
want to test any vma in the range.
VM_PFNMAP areas are used by:
- graphics memory manager gpu/drm/drm_gem.c
- global reference unit sgi-gru/grufile.c
- sgi special memory char/mspec.c
- and probably several out-of-tree modules

Page 'new' during MIGRATION can't be flushed with flush_cache_page().
Using flush_cache_page(vma, addr, pfn) is justified only if the page is
already placed in process page table, and that is done right after
flush_cache_page(). But without it the arch function has no knowledge
of process PTE and does nothing.
Besides that, flush_cache_page() flushes an application cache page, but
the kernel has a different page virtual address and dirtied it.
Replace it with flush_dcache_page(new) which is the proper usage.
The old page is flushed in try_to_unmap_one() before migration.
This bug takes place in Sead3 board with M14Kc MIPS CPU without cache
aliasing (but Harvard arch - separate I and D cache) in tight memory
environment (128MB) each 1-3days on SOAK test. It fails in cc1 during
kernel build (SIGILL, SIGBUS, SIGSEG) if CONFIG_COMPACTION is switched
ON.

Commit 0c59b89c81 ("mm: memcg: push down PageSwapCache check into
uncharge entry functions") added a VM_BUG_ON() on PageSwapCache in the
uncharge path after checking that page flag once, assuming that the
state is stable in all paths, but this is not the case and the condition
triggers in user environments. An uncharge after the last page table
reference to the page goes away can race with reclaim adding the page to
swap cache.
Swap cache pages are usually uncharged when they are freed after
swapout, from a path that also handles swap usage accounting and memcg
lifetime management. However, since the last page table reference is
gone and thus no references to the swap slot left, the swap slot will be
freed shortly when reclaim attempts to write the page to disk. The
whole swap accounting is not even necessary.
So while the race condition for which this VM_BUG_ON was added is real
and actually existed all along, there are no negative effects. Remove
the VM_BUG_ON again.

Commit 751efd8610 ("mmu_notifier_unregister NULL Pointer deref and
multiple ->release()") breaks the fix 3ad3d901bb ("mm: mmu_notifier:
fix freed page still mapped in secondary MMU").
Since hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() is changed now, we can not revert that
patch directly, so this patch reverts the commit and simply fix the bug
spotted by that patch
This bug spotted by commit 751efd8610 is:
There is a race condition between mmu_notifier_unregister() and
__mmu_notifier_release().
Assume two tasks, one calling mmu_notifier_unregister() as a result
of a filp_close() ->flush() callout (task A), and the other calling
mmu_notifier_release() from an mmput() (task B).
A B
t1 srcu_read_lock()
t2 if (!hlist_unhashed())
t3 srcu_read_unlock()
t4 srcu_read_lock()
t5 hlist_del_init_rcu()
t6 synchronize_srcu()
t7 srcu_read_unlock()
t8 hlist_del_rcu() <--- NULL pointer deref.
This can be fixed by using hlist_del_init_rcu instead of hlist_del_rcu.
The another issue spotted in the commit is "multiple ->release()
callouts", we needn't care it too much because it is really rare (e.g,
can not happen on kvm since mmu-notify is unregistered after
exit_mmap()) and the later call of multiple ->release should be fast
since all the pages have already been released by the first call.
Anyway, this issue should be fixed in a separate patch.
-stable suggestions: Any version that has commit 751efd8610 need to be
backported. I find the oldest version has this commit is 3.0-stable.

virt_to_page() is typically implemented as a macro containing a cast so
that it will accept both pointers and unsigned long without causing a

But MIPS virt_to_page() uses virt_to_phys which is a function so passing
an unsigned long will cause a warning:

But, if any of the power of two slabs were created earlier during boot,
slabs at index 1 or 2 might not get created at all. This patch makes
sure none of the slabs get skipped.

Bunch of performance improvements and cleanups Zach Brown and I have
been working on. The code should be pretty solid at this point, though
it could of course use more review and testing.
The results in my testing are pretty impressive, particularly when an
ioctx is being shared between multiple threads. In my crappy synthetic
benchmark, with 4 threads submitting and one thread reaping completions,
I saw overhead in the aio code go from ~50% (mostly ioctx lock
contention) to low single digits. Performance with ioctx per thread
improved too, but I'd have to rerun those benchmarks.
The reason I've been focused on performance when the ioctx is shared is
that for a fair number of real world completions, userspace needs the
completions aggregated somehow - in practice people just end up
implementing this aggregation in userspace today, but if it's done right
we can do it much more efficiently in the kernel.
Performance wise, the end result of this patch series is that submitting
a kiocb writes to _no_ shared cachelines - the penalty for sharing an
ioctx is gone there. There's still going to be some cacheline
contention when we deliver the completions to the aio ringbuffer (at
least if you have interrupts being delivered on multiple cores, which
for high end stuff you do) but I have a couple more patches not in this
series that implement coalescing for that (by taking advantage of
interrupt coalescing). With that, there's basically no bottlenecks or
performance issues to speak of in the aio code.
This patch:
use_mm() is used in more places than just aio. There's no need to mention
callers when describing the function.

The current kernel returns -EINVAL unless a given mmap length is
"almost" hugepage aligned. This is because in sys_mmap_pgoff() the
given length is passed to vm_mmap_pgoff() as it is without being aligned
with hugepage boundary.
This is a regression introduced in commit 40716e2924 ("hugetlbfs: fix
alignment of huge page requests"), where alignment code is pushed into
hugetlb_file_setup() and the variable len in caller side is not changed.
To fix this, this patch partially reverts that commit, and adds
alignment code in caller side. And it also introduces hstate_sizelog()
in order to get proper hstate to specified hugepage size.

The inline path seems to have changed the SLAB behavior for very large
kmalloc allocations with commit e3366016 ("slab: Use common
kmalloc_index/kmalloc_size functions"). This patch restores the old
behavior but also adds diagnostics so that we can figure where in the
code these large allocations occur.

With the goal of allowing tmem backends (zcache, ramster, Xen tmem) to
be built/loaded as modules rather than built-in and enabled by a boot
parameter, this patch provides "lazy initialization", allowing backends
to register to cleancache even after filesystems were mounted. Calls to
init_fs and init_shared_fs are remembered as fake poolids but no real
tmem_pools created. On backend registration the fake poolids are mapped
to real poolids and respective tmem_pools.

Frontswap initialization routine depends on swap_lock, which want to be
atomic about frontswap's first appearance. IOW, frontswap is not present
and will fail all calls OR frontswap is fully functional but if new
swap_info_struct isn't registered by enable_swap_info, swap subsystem
doesn't start I/O so there is no race between init procedure and page I/O
working on frontswap.
So let's remove unnecessary swap_lock dependency.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
- Fixes and a lot of cleanups. Locking cleanup is finally complete.
cgroup_mutex is no longer exposed to individual controlelrs which
used to cause nasty deadlock issues. Li fixed and cleaned up quite a
bit including long standing ones like racy cgroup_path().
- device cgroup now supports proper hierarchy thanks to Aristeu.
- perf_event cgroup now supports proper hierarchy.
- A new mount option "__DEVEL__sane_behavior" is added. As indicated
by the name, this option is to be used for development only at this
point and generates a warning message when used. Unfortunately,
cgroup interface currently has too many brekages and inconsistencies
to implement a consistent and unified hierarchy on top. The new flag
is used to collect the behavior changes which are necessary to
implement consistent unified hierarchy. It's likely that this flag
won't be used verbatim when it becomes ready but will be enabled
implicitly along with unified hierarchy.
The option currently disables some of broken behaviors in cgroup core
and also .use_hierarchy switch in memcg (will be routed through -mm),
which can be used to make very unusual hierarchy where nesting is
partially honored. It will also be used to implement hierarchy
support for blk-throttle which would be impossible otherwise without
introducing a full separate set of control knobs.
This is essentially versioning of interface which isn't very nice but
at this point I can't see any other options which would allow keeping
the interface the same while moving towards hierarchy behavior which
is at least somewhat sane. The planned unified hierarchy is likely
to require some level of adaptation from userland anyway, so I think
it'd be best to take the chance and update the interface such that
it's supportable in the long term.
Maintaining the existing interface does complicate cgroup core but
shouldn't put too much strain on individual controllers and I think
it'd be manageable for the foreseeable future. Maybe we'll be able
to drop it in a decade.
Fix up conflicts (including a semantic one adding a new #include to ppc
that was uncovered by header the file changes) as per Tejun.

As pointed out by Andrew Morton, the swap-over-NFS writeback is not
setting PageWriteback before it is queued for direct IO. While swap
pages do not participate in BDI or process dirty accounting and the IO
is synchronous, the writeback bit is still required and not setting it
in this case was an oversight. swapoff depends on the page writeback to
synchronoise all pending writes on a swap page before it is reused.
Swapcache freeing and reuse depend on checking the PageWriteback under
lock to ensure the page is safe to reuse.
Direct IO handlers and the direct IO handler for NFS do not deal with
PageWriteback as they are synchronous writes. In the case of NFS, it
schedules pages (or a page in the case of swap) for IO and then waits
synchronously for IO to complete in nfs_direct_write(). It is
recognised that this is a slowdown from normal swap handling which is
asynchronous and uses a completion handler. Shoving PageWriteback
handling down into direct IO handlers looks like a bad fit to handle the
swap case although it may have to be dealt with some day if swap is
converted to use direct IO in general and bmap is finally done away
with. At that point it will be necessary to refit asynchronous direct
IO with completion handlers onto the swap subsystem.
As swapcache currently depends on PageWriteback to protect against
races, this patch sets PageWriteback under the page lock before queueing
it for direct IO. It is cleared when the direct IO handler returns. IO
errors are treated similarly to the direct-to-bio case except PageError
is not set as in the case of swap-over-NFS, it is likely to be a
transient error.
It was asked what prevents such a page being reclaimed in parallel.
With this patch applied, such a page will now be skipped (most of the
time) or blocked until the writeback completes. Reclaim checks
PageWriteback under the page lock before calling try_to_free_swap and
the page lock should prevent the page being requeued for IO before it is
freed.
This and Jerome's related patch should considered for -stable as far
back as 3.6 when swap-over-NFS was introduced.

Since commit 62c230bc17 ("mm: add support for a filesystem to activate
swap files and use direct_IO for writing swap pages"), swap_writepage()
calls direct_IO on swap files. However, in that case the page isn't
redirtied if I/O fails, and is therefore handled afterwards as if it has
been successfully written to the swap file, leading to memory corruption
when the page is eventually swapped back in.
This patch sets the page dirty when direct_IO() fails. It fixes a
memory corruption that happened while using swap-over-NFS.
