page->private gets re-used in __free_one_page() to store page order
(so trace_mm_page_pcpu_drain() may print order instead of migratetype)
thus migratetype value must be cached locally.
Fixes regression introduced in commit a7016235a6 ("mm: fix migratetype
bug which slowed swapping"). This caused incorrect data to be attached
to the mm_page_pcpu_drain trace event.

Drop clean cache pages instead of migration during alloc_contig_range() to
minimise allocation latency by reducing the amount of migration that is
necessary. It's useful for CMA because latency of migration is more
important than evicting the background process's working set. In
addition, as pages are reclaimed then fewer free pages for migration
targets are required so it avoids memory reclaiming to get free pages,
which is a contributory factor to increased latency.
I measured elapsed time of __alloc_contig_migrate_range() which migrates
10M in 40M movable zone in QEMU machine.
Before - 146ms, After - 7ms

online_pages() does build_all_zonelists() and zone_pcp_update(), I think
offline_pages() should do it too.
When the zone has no memory to allocate, remove it from other nodes'
zonelists. zone_batchsize() depends on zone's present pages, if zone's
present pages are changed, zone's pcp should be updated.

During mremap(), the destination VMA is generally placed after the
original vma in rmap traversal order: in move_vma(), we always have
new_pgoff >= vma->vm_pgoff, and as a result new_vma->vm_pgoff >=
vma->vm_pgoff unless vma_merge() merged the new vma with an adjacent one.
When the destination VMA is placed after the original in rmap traversal
order, we can avoid taking the rmap locks in move_ptes().
Essentially, this reintroduces the optimization that had been disabled in
"mm anon rmap: remove anon_vma_moveto_tail". The difference is that we
don't try to impose the rmap traversal order; instead we just rely on
things being in the desired order in the common case and fall back to
taking locks in the uncommon case. Also we skip the i_mmap_mutex in
addition to the anon_vma lock: in both cases, the vmas are traversed in
increasing vm_pgoff order with ties resolved in tree insertion order.

In file and anon rmap, we use interval trees to find potentially relevant
vmas and then call vma_address() to find the virtual address the given
page might be found at in these vmas. vma_address() used to include a
check that the returned address falls within the limits of the vma, but
this check isn't necessary now that we always use interval trees in rmap:
the interval tree just doesn't return any vmas which this check would find
to be irrelevant. As a result, we can replace the use of -EFAULT error
code (which then needed to be checked in every call site) with a
VM_BUG_ON().

When a large VMA (anon or private file mapping) is first touched, which
will populate its anon_vma field, and then split into many regions through
the use of mprotect(), the original anon_vma ends up linking all of the
vmas on a linked list. This can cause rmap to become inefficient, as we
have to walk potentially thousands of irrelevent vmas before finding the
one a given anon page might fall into.
By replacing the same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree (where
each avc's interval is determined by its vma's start and last pgoffs), we
can make rmap efficient for this use case again.
While the change is large, all of its pieces are fairly simple.
Most places that were walking the same_anon_vma list were looking for a
known pgoff, so they can just use the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach()
interval tree iterator instead. The exception here is ksm, where the
page's index is not known. It would probably be possible to rework ksm so
that the index would be known, but for now I have decided to keep things
simple and just walk the entirety of the interval tree there.
When updating vma's that already have an anon_vma assigned, we must take
care to re-index the corresponding avc's on their interval tree. This is
done through the use of anon_vma_interval_tree_pre_update_vma() and
anon_vma_interval_tree_post_update_vma(), which remove the avc's from
their interval tree before the update and re-insert them after the update.
The anon_vma stays locked during the update, so there is no chance that
rmap would miss the vmas that are being updated.

mremap() had a clever optimization where move_ptes() did not take the
anon_vma lock to avoid a race with anon rmap users such as page migration.
Instead, the avc's were ordered in such a way that the origin vma was
always visited by rmap before the destination. This ordering and the use
of page table locks rmap usage safe. However, we want to replace the use
of linked lists in anon rmap with an interval tree, and this will make it
harder to impose such ordering as the interval tree will always be sorted
by the avc->vma->vm_pgoff value. For now, let's replace the
anon_vma_moveto_tail() ordering function with proper anon_vma locking in
move_ptes(). Once we have the anon interval tree in place, we will
re-introduce an optimization to avoid taking these locks in the most
common cases.

Update the generic interval tree code that was introduced in "mm: replace
vma prio_tree with an interval tree".
Changes:
- fixed 'endpoing' typo noticed by Andrew Morton
- replaced include/linux/interval_tree_tmpl.h, which was used as a
template (including it automatically defined the interval tree
functions) with include/linux/interval_tree_generic.h, which only
defines a preprocessor macro INTERVAL_TREE_DEFINE(), which itself
defines the interval tree functions when invoked. Now that is a very
long macro which is unfortunate, but it does make the usage sites
(lib/interval_tree.c and mm/interval_tree.c) a bit nicer than previously.
- make use of RB_DECLARE_CALLBACKS() in the INTERVAL_TREE_DEFINE() macro,
instead of duplicating that code in the interval tree template.
- replaced vma_interval_tree_add(), which was actually handling the
nonlinear and interval tree cases, with vma_interval_tree_insert_after()
which handles only the interval tree case and has an API that is more
consistent with the other interval tree handling functions.
The nonlinear case is now handled explicitly in kernel/fork.c dup_mmap().

kmemleak uses a tree where each node represents an allocated memory object
in order to quickly find out what object a given address is part of.
However, the objects don't overlap, so rbtrees are a better choice than
prio tree for this use. They are both faster and have lower memory
overhead.
Tested by booting a kernel with kmemleak enabled, loading the
kmemleak_test module, and looking for the expected messages.

Implement an interval tree as a replacement for the VMA prio_tree. The
algorithms are similar to lib/interval_tree.c; however that code can't be
directly reused as the interval endpoints are not explicitly stored in the
VMA. So instead, the common algorithm is moved into a template and the
details (node type, how to get interval endpoints from the node, etc) are
filled in using the C preprocessor.
Once the interval tree functions are available, using them as a
replacement to the VMA prio tree is a relatively simple, mechanical job.

These can be avoided by:
- use the lock to serialize the thread creation and cancel
- thp disable path can not finised until the thread exits

The core page allocator ensures that page flags are zeroed when freeing
pages via free_pages_check. A number of architectures (ARM, PPC, MIPS)
rely on this property to treat new pages as dirty with respect to the data
cache and perform the appropriate flushing before mapping the pages into
userspace.
This can lead to cache synchronisation problems when using hugepages,
since the allocator keeps its own pool of pages above the usual page
allocator and does not reset the page flags when freeing a page into the
pool.
This patch adds a new architecture hook, arch_clear_hugepage_flags, so
that architectures which rely on the page flags being in a particular
state for fresh allocations can adjust the flags accordingly when a page
is freed into the pool.

With an RCU based mmu_notifier implementation, any callout to
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_{start,end}() or
mmu_notifier_invalidate_page() would not be allowed to call schedule()
as that could potentially allow a modification to the mmu_notifier
structure while it is currently being used.
Since srcu allocs 4 machine words per instance per cpu, we may end up
with memory exhaustion if we use srcu per mm. So all mms share a global
srcu. Note that during large mmu_notifier activity exit & unregister
paths might hang for longer periods, but it is tolerable for current
mmu_notifier clients.

Commit cc9a6c8776 ("cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier
related damage v3") introduced a potential memory corruption.
shmem_alloc_page() uses a pseudo vma and it has one significant unique
combination, vma->vm_ops=NULL and vma->policy->flags & MPOL_F_SHARED.
get_vma_policy() does NOT increase a policy ref when vma->vm_ops=NULL
and mpol_cond_put() DOES decrease a policy ref when a policy has
MPOL_F_SHARED. Therefore, when a cpuset update race occurs,
alloc_pages_vma() falls in 'goto retry_cpuset' path, decrements the
reference count and frees the policy prematurely.

When shared_policy_replace() fails to allocate new->policy is not freed
correctly by mpol_set_shared_policy(). The problem is that shared

it is easy to make a mistake.
This patch creates an sp_free wrapper function and uses it. The bug was

shared_policy_replace() use of sp_alloc() is unsafe. 1) sp_node cannot
be dereferenced if sp->lock is not held and 2) another thread can modify
sp_node between spin_unlock for allocating a new sp node and next
spin_lock. The bug was introduced before 2.6.12-rc2.
Kosaki's original patch for this problem was to allocate an sp node and
policy within shared_policy_replace and initialise it when the lock is
reacquired. I was not keen on this approach because it partially
duplicates sp_alloc(). As the paths were sp->lock is taken are not that
performance critical this patch converts sp->lock to sp->mutex so it can
sleep when calling sp_alloc().

The problem is that the structure is being prematurely freed due to a
reference count imbalance. In the following case mbind(addr, len) should
replace the memory policies of both vma1 and vma2 and thus they will
become to share the same mempolicy and the new mempolicy will have the
MPOL_F_SHARED flag.
+-------------------+-------------------+
| vma1 | vma2(shmem) |
+-------------------+-------------------+

addr addr+len
alloc_pages_vma() uses get_vma_policy() and mpol_cond_put() pair for
maintaining the mempolicy reference count. The current rule is that
get_vma_policy() only increments refcount for shmem VMA and
mpol_conf_put() only decrements refcount if the policy has
MPOL_F_SHARED.
In above case, vma1 is not shmem vma and vma->policy has MPOL_F_SHARED!
The reference count will be decreased even though was not increased
whenever alloc_page_vma() is called. This has been broken since commit
[52cd3b07: mempolicy: rework mempolicy Reference Counting] in 2008.
There is another serious bug with the sharing of memory policies.
Currently, mempolicy rebind logic (it is called from cpuset rebinding)
ignores a refcount of mempolicy and override it forcibly. Thus, any
mempolicy sharing may cause mempolicy corruption. The bug was
introduced by commit [68860ec1: cpusets: automatic numa mempolicy
rebinding].
Ideally, the shared policy handling would be rewritten to either
properly handle COW of the policy structures or at least reference count
MPOL_F_SHARED based exclusively on information within the policy.
However, this patch takes the easier approach of disabling any policy
sharing between VMAs. Each new range allocated with sp_alloc will
allocate a new policy, set the reference count to 1 and drop the
reference count of the old policy. This increases the memory footprint
but is not expected to be a major problem as mbind() is unlikely to be
used for fine-grained ranges. It is also inefficient because it means
we allocate a new policy even in cases where mbind_range() could use the
new_policy passed to it. However, it is more straight-forward and the
change should be invisible to the user.

While compaction is migrating pages to free up large contiguous blocks
for allocation it races with other allocation requests that may steal

If allocation fails after compaction then compaction may be deferred for
a number of allocation attempts. If there are subsequent failures,
compact_defer_shift is increased to defer for longer periods. This
patch uses that information to scale the number of pages reclaimed with
compact_defer_shift until allocations succeed again. The rationale is
that reclaiming the normal number of pages still allowed compaction to
fail and its success depends on the number of pages. If it's failing,
reclaim more pages until it succeeds again.
Note that this is not implying that VM reclaim is not reclaiming enough
pages or that its logic is broken. try_to_free_pages() always asks for
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages to be reclaimed regardless of order and that is
what it does. Direct reclaim stops normally with this check.
if (sc->nr_reclaimed >= sc->nr_to_reclaim)
goto out;
should_continue_reclaim delays when that check is made until a minimum
number of pages for reclaim/compaction are reclaimed. It is possible
that this patch could instead set nr_to_reclaim in try_to_free_pages()
and drive it from there but that's behaves differently and not
necessarily for the better. If driven from do_try_to_free_pages(), it
is also possible that priorities will rise.
When they reach DEF_PRIORITY-2, it will also start stalling and setting
pages for immediate reclaim which is more disruptive than not desirable
in this case. That is a more wide-reaching change that could cause
another regression related to THP requests causing interactive jitter.

Allocation success rates have been far lower since 3.4 due to commit
fe2c2a1066 ("vmscan: reclaim at order 0 when compaction is enabled").
This commit was introduced for good reasons and it was known in advance
that the success rates would suffer but it was justified on the grounds
that the high allocation success rates were achieved by aggressive
reclaim. Success rates are expected to suffer even more in 3.6 due to
commit 7db8889ab0 ("mm: have order > 0 compaction start off where it
left") which testing has shown to severely reduce allocation success
rates under load - to 0% in one case.
This series aims to improve the allocation success rates without
regressing the benefits of commit fe2c2a1066. The series is based on
latest mmotm and takes into account the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag is going
away.
Patch 1 updates a stale comment seeing as I was in the general area.
Patch 2 updates reclaim/compaction to reclaim pages scaled on the number
of recent failures.
Patch 3 captures suitable high-order pages freed by compaction to reduce
races with parallel allocation requests.
Patch 4 fixes the upstream commit [7db8889a: mm: have order > 0 compaction
start off where it left] to enable compaction again
Patch 5 identifies when compacion is taking too long due to contention
and aborts.

From
http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/postings/mmtests-20120424/global-dhp__stress-highalloc-performance-ext3/hydra/comparison.html
I know that the allocation success rates in 3.3.6 was 78% in comparison
to 36% in in the current akpm tree. With the full series applied, the
success rates are up to around 51% with some variability in the results.
This is not as high a success rate but it does not reclaim excessively
which is a key point.
MMTests Statistics: vmstat
Page Ins 3050912 3078892
Page Outs 8033528 8039096
Swap Ins 0 0
Swap Outs 0 0
Note that swap in/out rates remain at 0. In 3.3.6 with 78% success rates
there were 71881 pages swapped out.
Direct pages scanned 70942 122976
Kswapd pages scanned 1366300 1520122
Kswapd pages reclaimed 1366214 1484629
Direct pages reclaimed 70936 105716
Kswapd efficiency 99% 97%
Kswapd velocity 1072.550 1182.615
Direct efficiency 99% 85%
Direct velocity 55.690 95.672
The kswapd velocity changes very little as expected. kswapd velocity is
around the 1000 pages/sec mark where as in kernel 3.3.6 with the high
allocation success rates it was 8140 pages/second. Direct velocity is
higher as a result of patch 2 of the series but this is expected and is
acceptable. The direct reclaim and kswapd velocities change very little.
If these get accepted for merging then there is a difficulty in how they
should be handled. 7db8889a ("mm: have order > 0 compaction start off
where it left") is broken but it is already in 3.6-rc1 and needs to be
fixed. However, if just patch 4 from this series is applied then Jim
Schutt's workload is known to break again as his workload also requires
patch 5. While it would be preferred to have all these patches in 3.6 to
improve compaction in general, it would at least be acceptable if just
patches 4 and 5 were merged to 3.6 to fix a known problem without breaking
compaction completely. On the face of it, that would force
__GFP_NO_KSWAPD patches to be merged at the same time but I can do a
version of this series with __GFP_NO_KSWAPD change reverted and then
rebase it on top of this series. That might be best overall because I
note that the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD patch should have removed
deferred_compaction from page_alloc.c but it didn't but fixing that causes
collisions with this series.
This patch:
The comment about order applied when the check was order >
PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER which has not been the case since c5a73c3d ("thp:
use compaction for all allocation orders"). Fixing the comment while I'm
in the general area.

People get confused by find_vma_prepare(), because it doesn't care about
what it returns in its output args, when its callers won't be interested.
Clarify by passing in end-of-range address too, and returning failure if
any existing vma overlaps the new range: instead of returning an ambiguous
vma which most callers then must check. find_vma_links() is a clearer
name.
This does revert 2.6.27's dfe195fb79 ("mm: fix uninitialized variables
for find_vma_prepare callers"), but it looks like gcc 4.3.0 was one of
those releases too eager to shout about uninitialized variables: only
copy_vma() warns with 4.5.1 and 4.7.1, which a BUG on error silences.

When writing a new file with 2048 bytes buffer, such as write(fd, buffer,
2048), it will call generic_perform_write() twice for every page:
write_begin
mark_page_accessed(page)
write_end
write_begin
mark_page_accessed(page)
write_end
Pages 1-13 will be added to lru-pvecs in write_begin() and will *NOT* be
added to active_list even they have be accessed twice because they are not
PageLRU(page). But when page 14th comes, all pages in lru-pvecs will be
moved to inactive_list (by __lru_cache_add() ) in first write_begin(), now
page 14th *is* PageLRU(page). And after second write_end() only page 14th
will be in active_list.
In Hadoop environment, we do comes to this situation: after writing a
file, we find out that only 14th, 28th, 42th... page are in active_list
and others in inactive_list. Now kswapd works, shrinks the inactive_list,
the file only have 14th, 28th...pages in memory, the readahead request
size will be broken to only 52k (13*4k), system's performance falls
dramatically.
This problem can also replay by below steps (the machine has 8G memory):
1. dd if=/dev/zero of=/test/file.out bs=1024 count=1048576
2. cat another 7.5G file to /dev/null
3. vmtouch -m 1G -v /test/file.out, it will show:
/test/file.out
[oooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO] 187847/262144
the 'o' means same pages are in memory but same are not.
The solution for this problem is simple: the 14th page should be added to
lru_add_pvecs before mark_page_accessed() just as other pages.

Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

Currently the kernel sets mm->exe_file during sys_execve() and then tracks
number of vmas with VM_EXECUTABLE flag in mm->num_exe_file_vmas, as soon
as this counter drops to zero kernel resets mm->exe_file to NULL. Plus it
resets mm->exe_file at last mmput() when mm->mm_users drops to zero.
VMA with VM_EXECUTABLE flag appears after mapping file with flag
MAP_EXECUTABLE, such vmas can appears only at sys_execve() or after vma
splitting, because sys_mmap ignores this flag. Usually binfmt module sets
mm->exe_file and mmaps executable vmas with this file, they hold
mm->exe_file while task is running.

exe_file's vma accounting is hooked into every file mmap/unmmap and vma
split/merge just to fix some hypothetical pinning fs from umounting by mm,
which already unmapped all its executable files, but still alive.
Seems like currently nobody depends on this behaviour. We can try to
remove this logic and keep mm->exe_file until final mmput().
mm->exe_file is still protected with mm->mmap_sem, because we want to
change it via new sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE). Also via this syscall
task can change its mm->exe_file and unpin mountpoint explicitly.

Move actual pte filling for non-linear file mappings into the new special
vma operation: ->remap_pages().
Filesystems must implement this method to get non-linear mapping support,
if it uses filemap_fault() then generic_file_remap_pages() can be used.
Now device drivers can implement this method and obtain nonlinear vma support.

Merge VM_INSERTPAGE into VM_MIXEDMAP. VM_MIXEDMAP VMA can mix pure-pfn
ptes, special ptes and normal ptes.
Now copy_page_range() always copies VM_MIXEDMAP VMA on fork like
VM_PFNMAP. If driver populates whole VMA at mmap() it probably not
expects page-faults.
This patch removes special check from vma_wants_writenotify() which
disables pages write tracking for VMA populated via vm_instert_page().
BDI below mapped file should not use dirty-accounting, moreover
do_wp_page() can handle this.
vm_insert_page() still marks vma after first usage. Usually it is called
from f_op->mmap() handler under mm->mmap_sem write-lock, so it able to
change vma->vm_flags. Caller must set VM_MIXEDMAP at mmap time if it
wants to call this function from other places, for example from page-fault
handler.

We can toss mapping address from remap_pfn_range() into
track_pfn_vma_new(), and collect all PAT-related logic together in
arch/x86/.
This patch also restores orignal frustration-free is_cow_mapping() check
in remap_pfn_range(), as it was before commit v2.6.28-rc8-88-g3c8bb73
("x86: PAT: store vm_pgoff for all linear_over_vma_region mappings - v3")
is_linear_pfn_mapping() checks can be removed from mm/huge_memory.c,

With PAT enabled, vm_insert_pfn() looks up the existing pfn memory
attribute and uses it. Expectation is that the driver reserves the
memory attributes for the pfn before calling vm_insert_pfn().
remap_pfn_range() (when called for the whole vma) will setup a new
attribute (based on the prot argument) for the specified pfn range.
This addresses the legacy usage which typically calls remap_pfn_range()
with a desired memory attribute. For ranges smaller than the vma size
(which is typically not the case), remap_pfn_range() will use the
existing memory attribute for the pfn range.
Expose two different API's for these different behaviors.
track_pfn_insert() for tracking the pfn attribute set by vm_insert_pfn()
and track_pfn_remap() for the remap_pfn_range().
This cleanup also prepares the ground for the track/untrack pfn vma
routines to take over the ownership of setting PAT specific vm_flag in
the 'vma'.

When transparent huge pages were introduced, memory compaction and swap
storms were an issue, and the kernel had to be careful to not make THP
allocations cause pageout or compaction.
Now that we have working compaction deferral, kswapd is smart enough to
invoke compaction and the quadratic behaviour around isolate_free_pages
has been fixed, it should be safe to remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD.

Pull vfs update from Al Viro:
- big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of
that is moved to fs/file.c
(BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c. As it is,
we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct
file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons
are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of
struct file we used to have way back).
A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives,
disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least
doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of
relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file
leak.
- related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in
there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have).
- also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into
that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and
switch of fdinfo to seq_file.
- Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to
take that commit than mess with conflicts. The rest is a separate
pile, this was just a mechanical code movement.
- a few misc patches all over the place. Not all for this cycle,
there'll be more (and quite a few currently sit in akpm's tree)."
Fix up trivial conflicts in the android binder driver, and some fairly
simple conflicts due to two different changes to the sock_alloc_file()
interface ("take descriptor handling from sock_alloc_file() to callers"
vs "net: Providing protocol type via system.sockprotoname xattr of

Pull cgroup hierarchy update from Tejun Heo:
"Currently, different cgroup subsystems handle nested cgroups
completely differently. There's no consistency among subsystems and
the behaviors often are outright broken.
People at least seem to agree that the broken hierarhcy behaviors need
to be weeded out if any progress is gonna be made on this front and
that the fallouts from deprecating the broken behaviors should be
acceptable especially given that the current behaviors don't make much
sense when nested.
This patch makes cgroup emit warning messages if cgroups for
subsystems with broken hierarchy behavior are nested to prepare for
fixing them in the future. This was put in a separate branch because
more related changes were expected (didn't make it this round) and the
memory cgroup wanted to pull in this and make changes on top."

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1. A lot of activities this
round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.
* delayed_work combines a timer and a work item. The handling of the
timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors. delayed_work is
updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
expected.
* Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
timer+work usages. mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.
These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
and behave like timer which is executed with process context.
* A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
half-broken under certain circumstances. This problem doesn't
exist for non-reentrant workqueues. While non-reentrancy check
isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
the overhead isn't too high.
All workqueues are made non-reentrant. This removes the
distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
flush_[delayed_]_work_sync(). The former is now as strong as the
latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
execution of any previous queueing on return.
* In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
hotplug handling significantly.
* Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
hotplug.
There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."
Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.

Pull RCU changes from Ingo Molnar:
0. 'idle RCU':
Adds RCU APIs that allow non-idle tasks to enter RCU idle mode and
provides x86 code to make use of them, allowing RCU to treat
user-mode execution as an extended quiescent state when the new
RCU_USER_QS kernel configuration parameter is specified. (Work is
in progress to port this to a few other architectures, but is not
part of this series.)
1. A fix for a latent bug that has been in RCU ever since the addition
of CPU stall warnings. This bug results in false-positive stall
warnings, but thus far only on embedded systems with severely
cut-down userspace configurations.
2. Further reductions in latency spikes for huge systems, along with
additional boot-time adaptation to the actual hardware.
This is a large change, as it moves RCU grace-period initialization
and cleanup, along with quiescent-state forcing, from softirq to a
kthread. However, it appears to be in quite good shape (famous
last words).
3. Updates to documentation and rcutorture, the latter category
including keeping statistics on CPU-hotplug latencies and fixing
some initialization-time races.
4. CPU-hotplug fixes and improvements.
5. Idle-loop fixes that were omitted on an earlier submission.
6. Miscellaneous fixes and improvements

rcu_sched), showing RCU processing overhead.

The CPU hotplug callback related to writeback calls writeback_set_ratelimit()

since num_online_cpus() changes only once during the entire hotplug operation.
So invoke the function only once per hotplug, thereby avoiding the
unnecessary repetition of those costly calculations.

Tmem, as originally specified, assumes that "get" operations
performed on persistent pools never flush the page of data out
of tmem on a successful get, waiting instead for a flush
operation. This is intended to mimic the model of a swap
disk, where a disk read is non-destructive. Unlike a
disk, however, freeing up the RAM can be valuable. Over
the years that frontswap was in the review process, several
reviewers (and notably Hugh Dickins in 2010) pointed out that
this would result, at least temporarily, in two copies of the
data in RAM: one (compressed for zcache) copy in tmem,
and one copy in the swap cache. We wondered if this could
be done differently, at least optionally.
This patch allows tmem backends to instruct the frontswap
code that this backend performs exclusive gets. Zcache2
already contains hooks to support this feature. Other
backends are completely unaffected unless/until they are
updated to support this feature.
While it is not clear that exclusive gets are a performance
win on all workloads at all times, this small patch allows for
experimentation by backends.
P.S. Let's not quibble about the naming of "get" vs "read" vs
"load" etc. The naming is currently horribly inconsistent between
cleancache and frontswap and existing tmem backends, so will need
to be straightened out as a separate patch. "Get" is used
by the tmem architecture spec, existing backends, and
all documentation and presentation material so I am
using it in this patch.

get_partial() is currently not checking pfmemalloc_match() meaning that
it is possible for pfmemalloc pages to leak to non-pfmemalloc users.
This is a problem in the following situation. Assume that there is a
request from normal allocation and there are no objects in the per-cpu
cache and no node-partial slab.
In this case, slab_alloc enters the slow path and new_slab_objects() is
called which may return a PFMEMALLOC page. As the current user is not
allowed to access PFMEMALLOC page, deactivate_slab() is called
([5091b74a: mm: slub: optimise the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc
checks]) and returns an object from PFMEMALLOC page.
Next time, when we get another request from normal allocation,
slab_alloc() enters the slow-path and calls new_slab_objects(). In
new_slab_objects(), we call get_partial() and get a partial slab which
was just deactivated but is a pfmemalloc page. We extract one object
from it and re-deactivate.
"deactivate -> re-get in get_partial -> re-deactivate" occures repeatedly.
As a result, access to PFMEMALLOC page is not properly restricted and it
can cause a performance degradation due to frequent deactivation.
deactivation frequently.
This patch changes get_partial_node() to take pfmemalloc_match() into
account and prevents the "deactivate -> re-get in get_partial()
scenario. Instead, new_slab() is called.

Right now, we call ClearSlabPfmemalloc() for first page of slab when we
clear SlabPfmemalloc flag. This is fine for most swap-over-network use
cases as it is expected that order-0 pages are in use. Unfortunately it
is possible that that __ac_put_obj() checks SlabPfmemalloc on a tail
page and while this is harmless, it is sloppy. This patch ensures that

* 'core-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
mm/memblock: Use NULL instead of 0 for pointers
Currently, cgroup hierarchy support is a mess. cpu related subsystems
behave correctly - configuration, accounting and control on a parent
properly cover its children. blkio and freezer completely ignore
hierarchy and treat all cgroups as if they're directly under the root
cgroup. Others show yet different behaviors.
These differing interpretations of cgroup hierarchy make using cgroup
confusing and it impossible to co-mount controllers into the same
hierarchy and obtain sane behavior.
Eventually, we want full hierarchy support from all subsystems and
probably a unified hierarchy. Users using separate hierarchies
expecting completely different behaviors depending on the mounted
subsystem is deterimental to making any progress on this front.
This patch adds cgroup_subsys.broken_hierarchy and sets it to %true
for controllers which are lacking in hierarchy support. The goal of
this patch is two-fold.
* Move users away from using hierarchy on currently non-hierarchical
subsystems, so that implementing proper hierarchy support on those
doesn't surprise them.
* Keep track of which controllers are broken how and nudge the
subsystems to implement proper hierarchy support.
For now, start with a single warning message. We can whine louder
later on.
v2: Fixed a typo spotted by Michal. Warning message updated.
v3: Updated memcg part so that it doesn't generate warning in the
cases where .use_hierarchy=false doesn't make the behavior
different from root.use_hierarchy=true. Fixed a typo spotted by
Glauber.
v4: Check ->broken_hierarchy after cgroup creation is complete so that
->create() can affect the result per Michal. Dropped unnecessary
memcg root handling per Michal.

DEADLOCK will be report while running a kernel with NUMA and LOCKDEP enabled,
the process of this fake report is:
kmem_cache_free() //free obj in cachep
-> cache_free_alien() //acquire cachep's l3 alien lock
-> __drain_alien_cache()
-> free_block()
-> slab_destroy()
-> kmem_cache_free() //free slab in cachep->slabp_cache
-> cache_free_alien() //acquire cachep->slabp_cache's l3 alien lock
Since the cachep and cachep->slabp_cache's l3 alien are in the same lock class,
fake report generated.
This should not happen since we already have init_lock_keys() which will
reassign the lock class for both l3 list and l3 alien.
However, init_lock_keys() was invoked at a wrong position which is before we
invoke enable_cpucache() on each cache.
Since until set slab_state to be FULL, we won't invoke enable_cpucache()
on caches to build their l3 alien while creating them, so although we invoked
init_lock_keys(), the l3 alien lock class won't change since we don't have
them until invoked enable_cpucache() later.
This patch will invoke init_lock_keys() after we done enable_cpucache()
instead of before to avoid the fake DEADLOCK report.

Strings passed to kmem_cache_create() are copied internally. Subsystems

Slabs allocated in early states of bootstrap will never be freed (and

This happens because krealloc is calling __krealloc,
which performs the allocation through kmalloc_track_caller.
Since neither krealloc nor __krealloc are marked inline explicitly,
the caller can be traced as being krealloc, which clearly is not
the intended behavior.
This patch allows to get the real caller of krealloc, by creating
an always inlined function __do_krealloc, thus tracing the

Jim Schutt reported a problem that pointed at compaction contending
heavily on locks. The workload is straight-forward and in his own words;
The systems in question have 24 SAS drives spread across 3 HBAs,
running 24 Ceph OSD instances, one per drive. FWIW these servers
are dual-socket Intel 5675 Xeons w/48 GB memory. I've got ~160
Ceph Linux clients doing dd simultaneously to a Ceph file system
backed by 12 of these servers.
Early in the test everything looks fine

There was other data but primarily it is all showing that compaction is
contended heavily on the zone->lock and zone->lru_lock.
commit [b2eef8c0: mm: compaction: minimise the time IRQs are disabled
while isolating pages for migration] noted that it was possible for
migration to hold the lru_lock for an excessive amount of time. Very
broadly speaking this patch expands the concept.
This patch introduces compact_checklock_irqsave() to check if a lock
is contended or the process needs to be scheduled. If either condition
is true then async compaction is aborted and the caller is informed.
The page allocator will fail a THP allocation if compaction failed due
to contention. This patch also introduces compact_trylock_irqsave()
which will acquire the lock only if it is not contended and the process
does not need to schedule.

Commit 7db8889ab0 ("mm: have order > 0 compaction start off where it
left") introduced a caching mechanism to reduce the amount work the free
page scanner does in compaction. However, it has a problem. Consider
two process simultaneously scanning free pages
C
Process A M S F
|---------------------------------------|
Process B M FS
C is zone->compact_cached_free_pfn
S is cc->start_pfree_pfn
M is cc->migrate_pfn
F is cc->free_pfn
In this diagram, Process A has just reached its migrate scanner, wrapped
around and updated compact_cached_free_pfn accordingly.
Simultaneously, Process B finishes isolating in a block and updates
compact_cached_free_pfn again to the location of its free scanner.
Process A moves to "end_of_zone - one_pageblock" and runs this check
if (cc->order > 0 && (!cc->wrapped ||
zone->compact_cached_free_pfn >
cc->start_free_pfn))
pfn = min(pfn, zone->compact_cached_free_pfn);
compact_cached_free_pfn is above where it started so the free scanner
skips almost the entire space it should have scanned. When there are
multiple processes compacting it can end in a situation where the entire
zone is not being scanned at all. Further, it is possible for two
processes to ping-pong update to compact_cached_free_pfn which is just
random.
Overall, the end result wrecks allocation success rates.
There is not an obvious way around this problem without introducing new
locking and state so this patch takes a different approach.
First, it gets rid of the skip logic because it's not clear that it
matters if two free scanners happen to be in the same block but with
racing updates it's too easy for it to skip over blocks it should not.
Second, it updates compact_cached_free_pfn in a more limited set of
circumstances.
If a scanner has wrapped, it updates compact_cached_free_pfn to the end
of the zone. When a wrapped scanner isolates a page, it updates
compact_cached_free_pfn to point to the highest pageblock it
can isolate pages from.
If a scanner has not wrapped when it has finished isolated pages it
checks if compact_cached_free_pfn is pointing to the end of the
zone. If so, the value is updated to point to the highest
pageblock that pages were isolated from. This value will not
be updated again until a free page scanner wraps and resets
compact_cached_free_pfn.
This is not optimal and it can still race but the compact_cached_free_pfn
will be pointing to or very near a pageblock with free pages.

Commit cfd19c5a9e ("mm: only set page->pfmemalloc when
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS was used") tried to narrow down page->pfmemalloc
setting, but it missed some places the pfmemalloc should be set.
So, in __slab_alloc, the unalignment pfmemalloc and ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS
cause incorrect deactivate_slab() on our core2 server:
64.73% fio [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock
|
--- _raw_spin_lock
|
|---0.34%-- deactivate_slab
| __slab_alloc
| kmem_cache_alloc
| |
That causes our fio sync write performance to have a 40% regression.
Move the checking in get_page_from_freelist() which resolves this issue.

Occasionally an isolated BUG_ON(mm->nr_ptes) gets reported, indicating
that not all the page tables allocated could be found and freed when
exit_mmap() tore down the user address space.
There's usually nothing we can say about it, beyond that it's probably a
sign of some bad memory or memory corruption; though it might still
indicate a bug in vma or page table management (and did recently reveal a
race in THP, fixed a few months ago).
But one overdue change we can make is from BUG_ON to WARN_ON.
It's fairly likely that the system will crash shortly afterwards in some
other way (for example, the BUG_ON(page_mapped(page)) in
__delete_from_page_cache(), once an inode mapped into the lost page tables
gets evicted); but might tell us more before that.
Change the BUG_ON(page_mapped) to WARN_ON too? Later perhaps: I'm less
eager, since that one has several times led to fixes.

If mmap_region()->uprobe_mmap() fails, unmap_and_free_vma path
does unmap_region() but does not remove the soon-to-be-freed vma
from rb tree. Actually there are more problems but this is how
William noticed this bug.
Perhaps we could do do_munmap() + return in this case, but in
fact it is simply wrong to abort if uprobe_mmap() fails. Until
at least we move the !UPROBE_COPY_INSN code from
install_breakpoint() to uprobe_register().
For example, uprobe_mmap()->install_breakpoint() can fail if the
probed insn is not supported (remember, uprobe_register()
succeeds if nobody mmaps inode/offset), mmap() should not fail
in this case.
dup_mmap()->uprobe_mmap() is wrong too by the same reason,
fork() can race with uprobe_register() and fail for no reason if
it wins the race and does install_breakpoint() first.
And, if nothing else, both mmap_region() and dup_mmap() return
success if uprobe_mmap() fails. Change them to ignore the error
code from uprobe_mmap().

kmem_cache_create() does cache integrity checks when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is
defined. These checks interspersed with the regular code path has lead
to compile time warnings when compiled without CONFIG_DEBUG_VM defined.
Restructuring the code to move the integrity checks in to a new function
would eliminate the current compile warning problem and also will allow
for future changes to the debug only code to evolve without introducing
new warnings in the regular path.
This restructuring work is based on the discussion in the following

We can change value of oldpage to NULL after unfreezing,
because unfreeze_partial() ensure that all the cpu partial slabs is removed

When freeing objects, the slub allocator will most of the time free
empty pages by calling __free_pages(). But high-order kmalloc will be
diposed by means of put_page() instead. It makes no sense to call
put_page() in kernel pages that are provided by the object allocators,
so we shouldn't be doing this ourselves. Aside from the consistency
change, we don't change the flow too much. put_page()'s would call its
dtor function, which is __free_pages. We also already do all of the
Compound page tests ourselves, and the Mlock test we lose don't really

Note that plugging for O_SYNC writes is also removed. The user may pass

I/O size, or may cross extent/device boundaries. Let the lower layers

Finally we can kill the 'sync_supers' kernel thread along with the
'->write_super()' superblock operation because all the users are gone.
Now every file-system is supposed to self-manage own superblock and
its dirty state.
The nice thing about killing this thread is that it improves power management.
Indeed, 'sync_supers' is a source of monotonic system wake-ups - it woke up
every 5 seconds no matter what - even if there were no dirty superblocks and
even if there were no file-systems using this service (e.g., btrfs and
journalled ext4 do not need it). So it was wasting power most of the time. And
because the thread was in the core of the kernel, all systems had to have it.
So I am quite happy to make it go away.
Interestingly, this thread is a left-over from the pdflush kernel thread which
was a self-forking kernel thread responsible for all the write-back in old
Linux kernels. It was turned into per-block device BDI threads, and
'sync_supers' was a left-over. Thus, R.I.P, pdflush as well.
