proc, meminfo: use correct helpers for calculating LRU sizes in meminfo
meminfo_proc_show() and si_mem_available() are using the wrong helpers for calculating the size of the LRUs. The user-visible impact is that there appears to be an abnormally high number of unevictable pages.

mm/page_alloc.c: recalculate some of node threshold when on/offline memory
Some of node threshold depends on number of managed pages in the node. When memory is going on/offline, it can be changed and we need to adjust them. Add recalculation to appropriate places and clean-up related functions for better maintenance.

mm: memcontrol: only mark charged pages with PageKmemcg
To distinguish non-slab pages charged to kmemcg we mark them PageKmemcg,
which sets page->_mapcount to -512. Currently, we set/clear PageKmemcg
in __alloc_pages_nodemask()/free_pages_prepare() for any page allocated
with __GFP_ACCOUNT, including those that aren't actually charged to any
cgroup, i.e. allocated from the root cgroup context. To avoid overhead
in case cgroups are not used, we only do that if memcg_kmem_enabled() is
true. The latter is set iff there are kmem-enabled memory cgroups
(online or offline). The root cgroup is not considered kmem-enabled.
As a result, if a page is allocated with __GFP_ACCOUNT for the root
cgroup when there are kmem-enabled memory cgroups and is freed after all
kmem-enabled memory cgroups were removed, e.g.
# no memory cgroups has been created yet, create one
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
# run something allocating pages with __GFP_ACCOUNT, e.g.
# a program using pipe
dmesg | tail
# remove the memory cgroup
rmdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
we'll get bad page state bug complaining about page->_mapcount != -1:
BUG: Bad page state in process swapper/0 pfn:1fd945c
page:ffffea007f651700 count:0 mapcount:-511 mapping: (null) index:0x0
flags: 0x1000000000000000()
To avoid that, let's mark with PageKmemcg only those pages that are
actually charged to and hence pin a non-root memory cgroup.

mm, compaction: introduce direct compaction priority
In the context of direct compaction, for some types of allocations we would like the compaction to either succeed or definitely fail while trying as hard as possible. Current async/sync_light migration mode is insufficient, as there are heuristics such as caching scanner positions, marking pageblocks as unsuitable or deferring compaction for a zone. At least the final compaction attempt should be able to override these heuristics. To communicate how hard compaction should try, we replace migration mode with a new enum compact_priority and change the relevant function signatures. In compact_zone_order() where struct compact_control is constructed, the priority is mapped to suitable control flags. This patch itself has no functional change, as the current priority levels are mapped back to the same migration modes as before. Expanding them will be done next. Note that !CONFIG_COMPACTION variant of try_to_compact_pages() is removed, as the only caller exists under CONFIG_COMPACTION.

mm, thp: remove __GFP_NORETRY from khugepaged and madvised allocations
After the previous patch, we can distinguish costly allocations that
should be really lightweight, such as THP page faults, with
__GFP_NORETRY. This means we don't need to recognize khugepaged
allocations via PF_KTHREAD anymore. We can also change THP page faults
in areas where madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) was used to try as hard as
khugepaged, as the process has indicated that it benefits from THP's and
is willing to pay some initial latency costs.
We can also make the flags handling less cryptic by distinguishing
GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT (no reclaim at all, default mode in page fault) from
GFP_TRANSHUGE (only direct reclaim, khugepaged default). Adding
__GFP_NORETRY or __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM is done where needed.
The patch effectively changes the current GFP_TRANSHUGE users as
follows:
* get_huge_zero_page() - the zero page lifetime should be relatively
long and it's shared by multiple users, so it's worth spending some
effort on it. We use GFP_TRANSHUGE, and __GFP_NORETRY is not added.
This also restores direct reclaim to this allocation, which was
unintentionally removed by commit e4a49efe4e7e ("mm: thp: set THP defrag
by default to madvise and add a stall-free defrag option")
* alloc_hugepage_khugepaged_gfpmask() - this is khugepaged, so latency
is not an issue. So if khugepaged "defrag" is enabled (the default), do
reclaim via GFP_TRANSHUGE without __GFP_NORETRY. We can remove the
PF_KTHREAD check from page alloc.
As a side-effect, khugepaged will now no longer check if the initial
compaction was deferred or contended. This is OK, as khugepaged sleep
times between collapsion attempts are long enough to prevent noticeable
disruption, so we should allow it to spend some effort.
* migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() - already was masking out
__GFP_RECLAIM, so just convert to GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT which is
equivalent.
* alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask() - vma's with VM_HUGEPAGE (via madvise)
are now allocating without __GFP_NORETRY. Other vma's keep using
__GFP_NORETRY if direct reclaim/compaction is at all allowed (by default
it's allowed only for madvised vma's). The rest is conversion to
GFP_TRANSHUGE(_LIGHT).

mm, page_alloc: make THP-specific decisions more generic
Since THP allocations during page faults can be costly, extra decisions
are employed for them to avoid excessive reclaim and compaction, if the
initial compaction doesn't look promising. The detection has never been
perfect as there is no gfp flag specific to THP allocations. At this
moment it checks the whole combination of flags that makes up
GFP_TRANSHUGE, and hopes that no other users of such combination exist,
or would mind being treated the same way. Extra care is also taken to
separate allocations from khugepaged, where latency doesn't matter that
much.
It is however possible to distinguish these allocations in a simpler and
more reliable way. The key observation is that after the initial
compaction followed by the first iteration of "standard"
reclaim/compaction, both __GFP_NORETRY allocations and costly
allocations without __GFP_REPEAT are declared as failures:
/* Do not loop if specifically requested */
if (gfp_mask & __GFP_NORETRY)
goto nopage;
/*
* Do not retry costly high order allocations unless they are
* __GFP_REPEAT
*/
if (order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER && !(gfp_mask & __GFP_REPEAT))
goto nopage;
This means we can further distinguish allocations that are costly order
*and* additionally include the __GFP_NORETRY flag. As it happens,
GFP_TRANSHUGE allocations do already fall into this category. This will
also allow other costly allocations with similar high-order benefit vs
latency considerations to use this semantic. Furthermore, we can
distinguish THP allocations that should try a bit harder (such as from
khugepageed) by removing __GFP_NORETRY, as will be done in the next
patch.

mm, page_alloc: restructure direct compaction handling in slowpath
The retry loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath is supposed to keep trying reclaim and compaction (and OOM), until either the allocation succeeds, or returns with failure. Success here is more probable when reclaim precedes compaction, as certain watermarks have to be met for compaction to even try, and more free pages increase the probability of compaction success. On the other hand, starting with light async compaction (if the watermarks allow it), can be more efficient, especially for smaller orders, if there's enough free memory which is just fragmented. Thus, the current code starts with compaction before reclaim, and to make sure that the last reclaim is always followed by a final compaction, there's another direct compaction call at the end of the loop. This makes the code hard to follow and adds some duplicated handling of migration_mode decisions. It's also somewhat inefficient that even if reclaim or compaction decides not to retry, the final compaction is still attempted. Some gfp flags combination also shortcut these retry decisions by "goto noretry;", making it even harder to follow. This patch attempts to restructure the code with only minimal functional changes. The call to the first compaction and THP-specific checks are now placed above the retry loop, and the "noretry" direct compaction is removed. The initial compaction is additionally restricted only to costly orders, as we can expect smaller orders to be held back by watermarks, and only larger orders to suffer primarily from fragmentation. This better matches the checks in reclaim's shrink_zones(). There are two other smaller functional changes. One is that the upgrade from async migration to light sync migration will always occur after the initial compaction. This is how it has been until recent patch "mm, oom: protect !costly allocations some more", which introduced upgrading the mode based on COMPACT_COMPLETE result, but kept the final compaction always upgraded, which made it even more special. It's better to return to the simpler handling for now, as migration modes will be further modified later in the series. The second change is that once both reclaim and compaction declare it's not worth to retry the reclaim/compact loop, there is no final compaction attempt. As argued above, this is intentional. If that final compaction were to succeed, it would be due to a wrong retry decision, or simply a race with somebody else freeing memory for us. The main outcome of this patch should be simpler code. Logically, the initial compaction without reclaim is the exceptional case to the reclaim/compaction scheme, but prior to the patch, it was the last loop iteration that was exceptional. Now the code matches the logic better. The change also enable the following patches.

mm, page_alloc: don't retry initial attempt in slowpath
After __alloc_pages_slowpath() sets up new alloc_flags and wakes up kswapd, it first tries get_page_from_freelist() with the new alloc_flags, as it may succeed e.g. due to using min watermark instead of low watermark. It makes sense to to do this attempt before adjusting zonelist based on alloc_flags/gfp_mask, as it's still relatively a fast path if we just wake up kswapd and successfully allocate. This patch therefore moves the initial attempt above the retry label and reorganizes a bit the part below the retry label. We still have to attempt get_page_from_freelist() on each retry, as some allocations cannot do that as part of direct reclaim or compaction, and yet are not allowed to fail (even though they do a WARN_ON_ONCE() and thus should not exist). We can reuse the call meant for ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS attempt and just set alloc_flags to ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS if the context allows it. As a side-effect, the attempts from direct reclaim/compaction will also no longer obey watermarks once this is set, but there's little harm in that. Kswapd wakeups are also done on each retry to be safe from potential races resulting in kswapd going to sleep while a process (that may not be able to reclaim by itself) is still looping.

mm, page_alloc: set alloc_flags only once in slowpath
In __alloc_pages_slowpath(), alloc_flags doesn't change after it's initialized, so move the initialization above the retry: label. Also make the comment above the initialization more descriptive. The only exception in the alloc_flags being constant is ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS, which may change due to TIF_MEMDIE being set on the allocating thread. We can fix this, and make the code simpler and a bit more effective at the same time, by moving the part that determines ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS from gfp_to_alloc_flags() to gfp_pfmemalloc_allowed(). This means we don't have to mask out ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS in numerous places in __alloc_pages_slowpath() anymore. The only two tests for the flag can instead call gfp_pfmemalloc_allowed().

mm: track NR_KERNEL_STACK in KiB instead of number of stacks
Currently, NR_KERNEL_STACK tracks the number of kernel stacks in a zone. This only makes sense if each kernel stack exists entirely in one zone, and allowing vmapped stacks could break this assumption. Since frv has THREAD_SIZE < PAGE_SIZE, we need to track kernel stack allocations in a unit that divides both THREAD_SIZE and PAGE_SIZE on all architectures. Keep it simple and use KiB.

mm: remove reclaim and compaction retry approximations
If per-zone LRU accounting is available then there is no point approximating whether reclaim and compaction should retry based on pgdat statistics. This is effectively a revert of "mm, vmstat: remove zone and node double accounting by approximating retries" with the difference that inactive/active stats are still available. This preserves the history of why the approximation was retried and why it had to be reverted to handle OOM kills on 32-bit systems.

I wanted to analyze the problem but it was hard because we removed per-zone lru stat so I couldn't know how many of anonymous memory there are in normal/dma zone. When we investigate OOM problem, reclaimable memory count is crucial stat to find a problem. Without it, it's hard to parse the OOM message so I believe we should keep it.

mm, vmstat: remove zone and node double accounting by approximating retries
The number of LRU pages, dirty pages and writeback pages must be

Many lowmem allocations are immune from OOM kill due to a check in

mm, page_alloc: wake kswapd based on the highest eligible zone
The ac_classzone_idx is used as the basis for waking kswapd and that is based on the preferred zoneref. If the preferred zoneref's first zone is lower than what is available on other nodes, it's possible that kswapd is woken on a zone with only higher, but still eligible, zones. As classzone_idx is strictly adhered to now, it causes a problem because eligible pages are skipped. For example, node 0 has only DMA32 and node 1 has only NORMAL. An allocating context running on node 0 may wake kswapd on node 1 telling it to skip all NORMAL pages.

mm, vmscan: only wakeup kswapd once per node for the requested classzone
kswapd is woken when zones are below the low watermark but the wakeup decision is not taking the classzone into account. Now that reclaim is node-based, it is only required to wake kswapd once per node and only if all zones are unbalanced for the requested classzone. Note that one node might be checked multiple times if the zonelist is ordered by node because there is no cheap way of tracking what nodes have already been visited. For zone-ordering, each node should be checked only once.

There are now a number of accounting oddities such as mapped file pages being accounted for on the node while the total number of file pages are accounted on the zone. This can be coped with to some extent but it's confusing so this patch moves the relevant file-based accounted. Due to throttling logic in the page allocator for reliable OOM detection, it is still necessary to track dirty and writeback pages on a per-zone basis.

mm, vmscan: simplify the logic deciding whether kswapd sleeps
kswapd goes through some complex steps trying to figure out if it should stay awake based on the classzone_idx and the requested order. It is unnecessarily complex and passes in an invalid classzone_idx to balance_pgdat(). What matters most of all is whether a larger order has been requsted and whether kswapd successfully reclaimed at the previous order. This patch irons out the logic to check just that and the end result is less headache inducing.

mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to node
This moves the LRU lists from the zone to the node and related data such as counters, tracing, congestion tracking and writeback tracking. Unfortunately, due to reclaim and compaction retry logic, it is necessary to account for the number of LRU pages on both zone and node logic. Most reclaim logic is based on the node counters but the retry logic uses the zone counters which do not distinguish inactive and active sizes. It would be possible to leave the LRU counters on a per-zone basis but it's a heavier calculation across multiple cache lines that is much more frequent than the retry checks. Other than the LRU counters, this is mostly a mechanical patch but note that it introduces a number of anomalies. For example, the scans are per-zone but using per-node counters. We also mark a node as congested when a zone is congested. This causes weird problems that are fixed later but is easier to review. In the event that there is excessive overhead on 32-bit systems due to the nodes being on LRU then there are two potential solutions 1. Long-term isolation of highmem pages when reclaim is lowmem When pages are skipped, they are immediately added back onto the LRU list. If lowmem reclaim persisted for long periods of time, the same highmem pages get continually scanned. The idea would be that lowmem keeps those pages on a separate list until a reclaim for highmem pages arrives that splices the highmem pages back onto the LRU. It potentially could be implemented similar to the UNEVICTABLE list. That would reduce the skip rate with the potential corner case is that highmem pages have to be scanned and reclaimed to free lowmem slab pages. 2. Linear scan lowmem pages if the initial LRU shrink fails This will break LRU ordering but may be preferable and faster during memory pressure than skipping LRU pages.

mm, vmstat: add infrastructure for per-node vmstats
Patchset: "Move LRU page reclaim from zones to nodes v9"
This series moves LRUs from the zones to the node. While this is a
current rebase, the test results were based on mmotm as of June 23rd.
Conceptually, this series is simple but there are a lot of details.
Some of the broad motivations for this are;
1. The residency of a page partially depends on what zone the page was
allocated from. This is partially combatted by the fair zone allocation
policy but that is a partial solution that introduces overhead in the
page allocator paths.
2. Currently, reclaim on node 0 behaves slightly different to node 1. For
example, direct reclaim scans in zonelist order and reclaims even if
the zone is over the high watermark regardless of the age of pages
in that LRU. Kswapd on the other hand starts reclaim on the highest
unbalanced zone. A difference in distribution of file/anon pages due
to when they were allocated results can result in a difference in
again. While the fair zone allocation policy mitigates some of the
problems here, the page reclaim results on a multi-zone node will
always be different to a single-zone node.
it was scheduled on as a result.
3. kswapd and the page allocator scan zones in the opposite order to
avoid interfering with each other but it's sensitive to timing. This
mitigates the page allocator using pages that were allocated very recently
in the ideal case but it's sensitive to timing. When kswapd is allocating
from lower zones then it's great but during the rebalancing of the highest
zone, the page allocator and kswapd interfere with each other. It's worse
if the highest zone is small and difficult to balance.
4. slab shrinkers are node-based which makes it harder to identify the exact
relationship between slab reclaim and LRU reclaim.
The reason we have zone-based reclaim is that we used to have
large highmem zones in common configurations and it was necessary
to quickly find ZONE_NORMAL pages for reclaim. Today, this is much
less of a concern as machines with lots of memory will (or should) use
64-bit kernels. Combinations of 32-bit hardware and 64-bit hardware are
rare. Machines that do use highmem should have relatively low highmem:lowmem
ratios than we worried about in the past.
Conceptually, moving to node LRUs should be easier to understand. The
page allocator plays fewer tricks to game reclaim and reclaim behaves
similarly on all nodes.
The series has been tested on a 16 core UMA machine and a 2-socket 48
core NUMA machine. The UMA results are presented in most cases as the NUMA
machine behaved similarly.

tiobench is a benchmark that artifically benefits if old pages remain resident
while new pages get reclaimed. The fair zone allocation policy mitigates this
problem so pages age fairly. While the benchmark has problems, it is important
that tiobench performance remains constant as it implies that page aging
problems that the fair zone allocation policy fixes are not re-introduced.

This shows that the series has little or not impact on tiobench which is
desirable and a reduction in system CPU usage. It indicates that the fair
zone allocation policy was removed in a manner that didn't reintroduce
one class of page aging bug. There were only minor differences in overall

in numbers of inodes reclaimed but the workload has few active inodes and
is likely a timing artifact.

While this is not guaranteed in all cases, this particular test showed
a large reduction in direct reclaim activity. It's also worth noting
that no page writes were issued from reclaim context.
This series is not without its hazards. There are at least three areas
that I'm concerned with even though I could not reproduce any problems in
that area.
1. Reclaim/compaction is going to be affected because the amount of reclaim is
no longer targetted at a specific zone. Compaction works on a per-zone basis
so there is no guarantee that reclaiming a few THP's worth page pages will
have a positive impact on compaction success rates.
2. The Slab/LRU reclaim ratio is affected because the frequency the shrinkers
are called is now different. This may or may not be a problem but if it
is, it'll be because shrinkers are not called enough and some balancing
is required.
3. The anon/file reclaim ratio may be affected. Pages about to be dirtied are
distributed between zones and the fair zone allocation policy used to do
something very similar for anon. The distribution is now different but not
necessarily in any way that matters but it's still worth bearing in mind.
VM statistic counters for reclaim decisions are zone-based. If the kernel
is to reclaim on a per-node basis then we need to track per-node
statistics but there is no infrastructure for that. The most notable
change is that the old node_page_state is renamed to
sum_zone_node_page_state. The new node_page_state takes a pglist_data and
uses per-node stats but none exist yet. There is some renaming such as
vm_stat to vm_zone_stat and the addition of vm_node_stat and the renaming
of mod_state to mod_zone_state. Otherwise, this is mostly a mechanical
patch with no functional change. There is a lot of similarity between the
node and zone helpers which is unfortunate but there was no obvious way of
reusing the code and maintaining type safety.

mm: charge/uncharge kmemcg from generic page allocator paths
Currently, to charge a non-slab allocation to kmemcg one has to use alloc_kmem_pages helper with __GFP_ACCOUNT flag. A page allocated with this helper should finally be freed using free_kmem_pages, otherwise it won't be uncharged. This API suits its current users fine, but it turns out to be impossible to use along with page reference counting, i.e. when an allocation is supposed to be freed with put_page, as it is the case with pipe or unix socket buffers. To overcome this limitation, this patch moves charging/uncharging to generic page allocator paths, i.e. to __alloc_pages_nodemask and free_pages_prepare, and zaps alloc/free_kmem_pages helpers. This way, one can use any of the available page allocation functions to get the allocated page charged to kmemcg - it's enough to pass __GFP_ACCOUNT, just like in case of kmalloc and friends. A charged page will be automatically uncharged on free. To make it possible, we need to mark pages charged to kmemcg somehow. To avoid introducing a new page flag, we make use of page->_mapcount for marking such pages. Since pages charged to kmemcg are not supposed to be mapped to userspace, it should work just fine. There are other (ab)users of page->_mapcount - buddy and balloon pages - but we don't conflict with them. In case kmemcg is compiled out or not used at runtime, this patch introduces no overhead to generic page allocator paths. If kmemcg is used, it will be plus one gfp flags check on alloc and plus one page->_mapcount check on free, which shouldn't hurt performance, because the data accessed are hot.

- Handle memcg_kmem_enabled check out to the caller. This reduces the number of function definitions making the code easier to follow. At the same time it doesn't result in code bloat, because all of these functions are used only in one or two places. - Move __GFP_ACCOUNT check to the caller as well so that one wouldn't have to dive deep into memcg implementation to see which allocations are charged and which are not. - Refresh comments.

mm/page_alloc: introduce post allocation processing on page allocator
This patch is motivated from Hugh and Vlastimil's concern [1]. There are two ways to get freepage from the allocator. One is using normal memory allocation API and the other is __isolate_free_page() which is internally used for compaction and pageblock isolation. Later usage is rather tricky since it doesn't do whole post allocation processing done by normal API. One problematic thing I already know is that poisoned page would not be checked if it is allocated by __isolate_free_page(). Perhaps, there would be more. We could add more debug logic for allocated page in the future and this separation would cause more problem. I'd like to fix this situation at this time. Solution is simple. This patch commonize some logic for newly allocated page and uses it on all sites. This will solve the problem.

mm/page_owner: introduce split_page_owner and replace manual handling
split_page() calls set_page_owner() to set up page_owner to each pages. But, it has a drawback that head page and the others have different stacktrace because callsite of set_page_owner() is slightly differnt. To avoid this problem, this patch copies head page's page_owner to the others. It needs to introduce new function, split_page_owner() but it also remove the other function, get_page_owner_gfp() so looks good to do.

mm/page_owner: initialize page owner without holding the zone lock
It's not necessary to initialized page_owner with holding the zone lock. It would cause more contention on the zone lock although it's not a big problem since it is just debug feature. But, it is better than before so do it. This is also preparation step to use stackdepot in page owner feature. Stackdepot allocates new pages when there is no reserved space and holding the zone lock in this case will cause deadlock.

mm: migrate: support non-lru movable page migration
We have allowed migration for only LRU pages until now and it was enough to make high-order pages. But recently, embedded system(e.g., webOS, android) uses lots of non-movable pages(e.g., zram, GPU memory) so we have seen several reports about troubles of small high-order allocation. For fixing the problem, there were several efforts (e,g,. enhance compaction algorithm, SLUB fallback to 0-order page, reserved memory, vmalloc and so on) but if there are lots of non-movable pages in system, their solutions are void in the long run. So, this patch is to support facility to change non-movable pages with movable. For the feature, this patch introduces functions related to migration to address_space_operations as well as some page flags. If a driver want to make own pages movable, it should define three functions which are function pointers of struct address_space_operations. 1. bool (*isolate_page) (struct page *page, isolate_mode_t mode); What VM expects on isolate_page function of driver is to return *true* if driver isolates page successfully. On returing true, VM marks the page as PG_isolated so concurrent isolation in several CPUs skip the page for isolation. If a driver cannot isolate the page, it should return *false*. Once page is successfully isolated, VM uses page.lru fields so driver shouldn't expect to preserve values in that fields. 2. int (*migratepage) (struct address_space *mapping, struct page *newpage, struct page *oldpage, enum migrate_mode); After isolation, VM calls migratepage of driver with isolated page. The function of migratepage is to move content of the old page to new page and set up fields of struct page newpage. Keep in mind that you should indicate to the VM the oldpage is no longer movable via __ClearPageMovable() under page_lock if you migrated the oldpage successfully and returns 0. If driver cannot migrate the page at the moment, driver can return -EAGAIN. On -EAGAIN, VM will retry page migration in a short time because VM interprets -EAGAIN as "temporal migration failure". On returning any error except -EAGAIN, VM will give up the page migration without retrying in this time. Driver shouldn't touch page.lru field VM using in the functions. 3. void (*putback_page)(struct page *); If migration fails on isolated page, VM should return the isolated page to the driver so VM calls driver's putback_page with migration failed page. In this function, driver should put the isolated page back to the own data structure. 4. non-lru movable page flags There are two page flags for supporting non-lru movable page. * PG_movable Driver should use the below function to make page movable under page_lock. void __SetPageMovable(struct page *page, struct address_space *mapping) It needs argument of address_space for registering migration family functions which will be called by VM. Exactly speaking, PG_movable is not a real flag of struct page. Rather than, VM reuses page->mapping's lower bits to represent it. #define PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE 0x2 page->mapping = page->mapping | PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE; so driver shouldn't access page->mapping directly. Instead, driver should use page_mapping which mask off the low two bits of page->mapping so it can get right struct address_space. For testing of non-lru movable page, VM supports __PageMovable function. However, it doesn't guarantee to identify non-lru movable page because page->mapping field is unified with other variables in struct page. As well, if driver releases the page after isolation by VM, page->mapping doesn't have stable value although it has PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE (Look at __ClearPageMovable). But __PageMovable is cheap to catch whether page is LRU or non-lru movable once the page has been isolated. Because LRU pages never can have PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE in page->mapping. It is also good for just peeking to test non-lru movable pages before more expensive checking with lock_page in pfn scanning to select victim. For guaranteeing non-lru movable page, VM provides PageMovable function. Unlike __PageMovable, PageMovable functions validates page->mapping and mapping->a_ops->isolate_page under lock_page. The lock_page prevents sudden destroying of page->mapping. Driver using __SetPageMovable should clear the flag via __ClearMovablePage under page_lock before the releasing the page. * PG_isolated To prevent concurrent isolation among several CPUs, VM marks isolated page as PG_isolated under lock_page. So if a CPU encounters PG_isolated non-lru movable page, it can skip it. Driver doesn't need to manipulate the flag because VM will set/clear it automatically. Keep in mind that if driver sees PG_isolated page, it means the page have been isolated by VM so it shouldn't touch page.lru field. PG_isolated is alias with PG_reclaim flag so driver shouldn't use the flag for own purpose.

mm/init: fix zone boundary creation
As a part of memory initialisation the architecture passes an array to
free_area_init_nodes() which specifies the max PFN of each memory zone.
This array is not necessarily monotonic (due to unused zones) so this
array is parsed to build monotonic lists of the min and max PFN for each
zone. ZONE_MOVABLE is special cased here as its limits are managed by
the mm subsystem rather than the architecture. Unfortunately, this
special casing is broken when ZONE_MOVABLE is the not the last zone in
the zone list. The core of the issue is:
if (i == ZONE_MOVABLE)
continue;
arch_zone_lowest_possible_pfn[i] =
arch_zone_highest_possible_pfn[i-1];
As ZONE_MOVABLE is skipped the lowest_possible_pfn of the next zone will
be set to zero. This patch fixes this bug by adding explicitly tracking
where the next zone should start rather than relying on the contents
arch_zone_highest_possible_pfn[].
Thie is low priority. To get bitten by this you need to enable a zone
that appears after ZONE_MOVABLE in the zone_type enum. As far as I can
tell this means running a kernel with ZONE_DEVICE or ZONE_CMA enabled,
so I can't see this affecting too many people.
I only noticed this because I've been fiddling with ZONE_DEVICE on
powerpc and 4.6 broke my test kernel. This bug, in conjunction with the
changes in Taku Izumi's kernelcore=mirror patch (

mm, meminit: ensure node is online before checking whether pages are uninitialised
early_page_uninitialised looks up an arbitrary PFN. While a machine without node 0 will boot with "mm, page_alloc: Always return a valid node from early_pfn_to_nid", it works because it assumes that nodes are always in PFN order. This is not guaranteed so this patch adds robustness by always checking if the node being checked is online.

mm, page_alloc: recalculate the preferred zoneref if the context can ignore memory policies
The optimistic fast path may use cpuset_current_mems_allowed instead of
of a NULL nodemask supplied by the caller for cpuset allocations. The
preferred zone is calculated on this basis for statistic purposes and as
a starting point in the zonelist iterator.
However, if the context can ignore memory policies due to being atomic
or being able to ignore watermarks then the starting point in the
zonelist iterator is no longer correct. This patch resets the zonelist
iterator in the allocator slowpath if the context can ignore memory
policies. This will alter the zone used for statistics but only after
it is known that it makes sense for that context. Resetting it before
entering the slowpath would potentially allow an ALLOC_CPUSET allocation
to be accounted for against the wrong zone. Note that while nodemask is
not explicitly set to the original nodemask, it would only have been
overwritten if cpuset_enabled() and it was reset before the slowpath was
entered.

mm, page_alloc: prevent infinite loop in buffered_rmqueue()
In DEBUG_VM kernel, we can hit infinite loop for order == 0 in
buffered_rmqueue() when check_new_pcp() returns 1, because the bad page
is never removed from the pcp list. Fix this by removing the page
before retrying. Also we don't need to check if page is non-NULL,
because we simply grab it from the list which was just tested for being
non-empty.
