mm: remove vm_total_pages
The global variable "vm_total_pages" is a relic from older days. There is only a single user that reads the variable - build_all_zonelists() - and the first thing it does is update it. Use a local variable in build_all_zonelists() instead and remove the global variable.

mm: workingset: age nonresident information alongside anonymous pages
Patch series "fix for "mm: balance LRU lists based on relative
thrashing" patchset"
This patchset fixes some problems of the patchset, "mm: balance LRU
lists based on relative thrashing", which is now merged on the mainline.
Patch "mm: workingset: let cache workingset challenge anon fix" is the
result of discussion with Johannes. See following link.
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200520232525.798933-6-hannes@cmpxchg.org
And, the other two are minor things which are found when I try to rebase
my patchset.
This patch (of 3):
After ("mm: workingset: let cache workingset challenge anon fix"), we
compare refault distances to active_file + anon. But age of the
non-resident information is only driven by the file LRU. As a result,
we may overestimate the recency of any incoming refaults and activate
them too eagerly, causing unnecessary LRU churn in certain situations.
Make anon aging drive nonresident age as well to address that.

mm: vmscan: reclaim writepage is IO cost
The VM tries to balance reclaim pressure between anon and file so as to reduce the amount of IO incurred due to the memory shortage. It already counts refaults and swapins, but in addition it should also count writepage calls during reclaim. For swap, this is obvious: it's IO that wouldn't have occurred if the anonymous memory hadn't been under memory pressure. From a relative balancing point of view this makes sense as well: even if anon is cold and reclaimable, a cache that isn't thrashing may have equally cold pages that don't require IO to reclaim. For file writeback, it's trickier: some of the reclaim writepage IO would have likely occurred anyway due to dirty expiration. But not all of it - premature writeback reduces batching and generates additional writes. Since the flushers are already woken up by the time the VM starts writing cache pages one by one, let's assume that we'e likely causing writes that wouldn't have happened without memory pressure. In addition, the per-page cost of IO would have probably been much cheaper if written in larger batches from the flusher thread rather than the single-page-writes from kswapd. For our purposes - getting the trend right to accelerate convergence on a stable state that doesn't require paging at all - this is sufficiently accurate. If we later wanted to optimize for sustained thrashing, we can still refine the measurements. Count all writepage calls from kswapd as IO cost toward the LRU that the page belongs to. Why do this dynamically? Don't we know in advance that anon pages require IO to reclaim, and so could build in a static bias? First, scanning is not the same as reclaiming. If all the anon pages are referenced, we may not swap for a while just because we're scanning the anon list. During this time, however, it's important that we age anonymous memory and the page cache at the same rate so that their hot-cold gradients are comparable. Everything else being equal, we still want to reclaim the coldest memory overall. Second, we keep copies in swap unless the page changes. If there is swap-backed data that's mostly read (tmpfs file) and has been swapped out before, we can reclaim it without incurring additional IO.

mm: balance LRU lists based on relative thrashing
Since the LRUs were split into anon and file lists, the VM has been
balancing between page cache and anonymous pages based on per-list ratios
of scanned vs. rotated pages. In most cases that tips page reclaim
towards the list that is easier to reclaim and has the fewest actively
used pages, but there are a few problems with it:
1. Refaults and LRU rotations are weighted the same way, even though
one costs IO and the other costs a bit of CPU.
2. The less we scan an LRU list based on already observed rotations,
the more we increase the sampling interval for new references, and
rotations become even more likely on that list. This can enter a
death spiral in which we stop looking at one list completely until
the other one is all but annihilated by page reclaim.

mm: base LRU balancing on an explicit cost model
Currently, scan pressure between the anon and file LRU lists is balanced based on a mixture of reclaim efficiency and a somewhat vague notion of "value" of having certain pages in memory over others. That concept of value is problematic, because it has caused us to count any event that remotely makes one LRU list more or less preferrable for reclaim, even when these events are not directly comparable and impose very different costs on the system. One example is referenced file pages that we still deactivate and referenced anonymous pages that we actually rotate back to the head of the list. There is also conceptual overlap with the LRU algorithm itself. By rotating recently used pages instead of reclaiming them, the algorithm already biases the applied scan pressure based on page value. Thus, when rebalancing scan pressure due to rotations, we should think of reclaim cost, and leave assessing the page value to the LRU algorithm. Lastly, considering both value-increasing as well as value-decreasing events can sometimes cause the same type of event to be counted twice, i.e. how rotating a page increases the LRU value, while reclaiming it succesfully decreases the value. In itself this will balance out fine, but it quietly skews the impact of events that are only recorded once. The abstract metric of "value", the murky relationship with the LRU algorithm, and accounting both negative and positive events make the current pressure balancing model hard to reason about and modify. This patch switches to a balancing model of accounting the concrete, actually observed cost of reclaiming one LRU over another. For now, that cost includes pages that are scanned but rotated back to the list head. Subsequent patches will add consideration for IO caused by refaulting of recently evicted pages. Replace struct zone_reclaim_stat with two cost counters in the lruvec, and make everything that affects cost go through a new lru_note_cost() function.

mm: memcontrol: move out cgroup swaprate throttling
The cgroup swaprate throttling is about matching new anon allocations to the rate of available IO when that is being throttled. It's the io controller hooking into the VM, rather than a memory controller thing. Rename mem_cgroup_throttle_swaprate() to cgroup_throttle_swaprate(), and drop the @memcg argument which is only used to check whether the preceding page charge has succeeded and the fault is proceeding. We could decouple the call from mem_cgroup_try_charge() here as well, but that would cause unnecessary churn: the following patches convert all callsites to a new charge API and we'll decouple as we go along.

mm/swapfile.c: classify SWAP_MAP_XXX to make it more readable
swap_info_struct->swap_map[] encodes some flag and count. And to
do some condition check, it also introduces some special values.
Currently those macros are defined with some magic order, which makes
audience hard to understand the exact meaning.
This patch split those macros into three categories:
flag
special value for first swap_map
special value for continued swap_map
May this help audiences a little.

mm/swap: Use local_lock for protection
The various struct pagevec per CPU variables are protected by disabling either preemption or interrupts across the critical sections. Inside these sections spinlocks have to be acquired. These spinlocks are regular spinlock_t types which are converted to "sleeping" spinlocks on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels. Obviously sleeping locks cannot be acquired in preemption or interrupt disabled sections. local locks provide a trivial way to substitute preempt and interrupt disable instances. On a non PREEMPT_RT enabled kernel local_lock() maps to preempt_disable() and local_lock_irq() to local_irq_disable(). Create lru_rotate_pvecs containing the pagevec and the locallock. Create lru_pvecs containing the remaining pagevecs and the locallock. Add lru_add_drain_cpu_zone() which is used from compact_zone() to avoid exporting the pvec structure. Change the relevant call sites to acquire these locks instead of using preempt_disable() / get_cpu() / get_cpu_var() and local_irq_disable() / local_irq_save(). There is neither a functional change nor a change in the generated binary code for non PREEMPT_RT enabled non-debug kernels. When lockdep is enabled local locks have lockdep maps embedded. These allow lockdep to validate the protections, i.e. inappropriate usage of a preemption only protected sections would result in a lockdep warning while the same problem would not be noticed with a plain preempt_disable() based protection. local locks also improve readability as they provide a named scope for the protections while preempt/interrupt disable are opaque scopeless. Finally local locks allow PREEMPT_RT to substitute them with real locking primitives to ensure the correctness of operation in a fully preemptible kernel.

swap.h: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

mm: vmscan: detect file thrashing at the reclaim root
We use refault information to determine whether the cache workingset is stable or transitioning, and dynamically adjust the inactive:active file LRU ratio so as to maximize protection from one-off cache during stable periods, and minimize IO during transitions. With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU order among the pages of all involved cgroups, refaults only affect the local LRU order in the cgroup in which they are occuring. As a result, cache transitions can take longer in a cgrouped system as the active pages of sibling cgroups aren't challenged when they should be. [ Right now, this is somewhat theoretical, because the siblings, under continued regular reclaim pressure, should eventually run out of inactive pages - and since inactive:active *size* balancing is also done on a cgroup-local level, we will challenge the active pages eventually in most cases. But the next patch will move that relative size enforcement to the reclaim root as well, and then this patch here will be necessary to propagate refault pressure to siblings. ] This patch moves refault detection to the root of reclaim. Instead of remembering the cgroup owner of an evicted page, remember the cgroup that caused the reclaim to happen. When refaults later occur, they'll correctly influence the cross-cgroup LRU order that reclaim follows. I.e. if global reclaim kicked out pages in some subgroup A/B/C, the refault of those pages will challenge the global LRU order, and not just the local order down inside C.

mm: introduce MADV_PAGEOUT
When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range for a long time, it could hint kernel that the pages can be reclaimed instantly but data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance. This patch introduces the new MADV_PAGEOUT hint to madvise(2) syscall. MADV_PAGEOUT can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected to be used for a long time so that kernel reclaims *any LRU* pages instantly. The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to evict proactively. A note: It doesn't apply SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX LRU page isolation limit intentionally because it's automatically bounded by PMD size. If PMD size(e.g., 256) makes some trouble, we could fix it later by limit it to SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX[1]. - man-page material MADV_PAGEOUT (since Linux x.x) Do not expect access in the near future so pages in the specified regions could be reclaimed instantly regardless of memory pressure. Thus, access in the range after successful operation could cause major page fault but never lose the up-to-date contents unlike MADV_DONTNEED. Pages belonging to a shared mapping are only processed if a write access is allowed for the calling process. MADV_PAGEOUT cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP pages.

mm: introduce MADV_COLD
Patch series "Introduce MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT", v7. - Background The Android terminology used for forking a new process and starting an app from scratch is a cold start, while resuming an existing app is a hot start. While we continually try to improve the performance of cold starts, hot starts will always be significantly less power hungry as well as faster so we are trying to make hot start more likely than cold start. To increase hot start, Android userspace manages the order that apps should be killed in a process called ActivityManagerService. ActivityManagerService tracks every Android app or service that the user could be interacting with at any time and translates that into a ranked list for lmkd(low memory killer daemon). They are likely to be killed by lmkd if the system has to reclaim memory. In that sense they are similar to entries in any other cache. Those apps are kept alive for opportunistic performance improvements but those performance improvements will vary based on the memory requirements of individual workloads. - Problem Naturally, cached apps were dominant consumers of memory on the system. However, they were not significant consumers of swap even though they are good candidate for swap. Under investigation, swapping out only begins once the low zone watermark is hit and kswapd wakes up, but the overall allocation rate in the system might trip lmkd thresholds and cause a cached process to be killed(we measured performance swapping out vs. zapping the memory by killing a process. Unsurprisingly, zapping is 10x times faster even though we use zram which is much faster than real storage) so kill from lmkd will often satisfy the high zone watermark, resulting in very few pages actually being moved to swap. - Approach The approach we chose was to use a new interface to allow userspace to proactively reclaim entire processes by leveraging platform information. This allowed us to bypass the inaccuracy of the kernel’s LRUs for pages that are known to be cold from userspace and to avoid races with lmkd by reclaiming apps as soon as they entered the cached state. Additionally, it could provide many chances for platform to use much information to optimize memory efficiency. To achieve the goal, the patchset introduce two new options for madvise. One is MADV_COLD which will deactivate activated pages and the other is MADV_PAGEOUT which will reclaim private pages instantly. These new options complement MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE by adding non-destructive ways to gain some free memory space. MADV_PAGEOUT is similar to MADV_DONTNEED in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not currently needed and should be reclaimed immediately; MADV_COLD is similar to MADV_FREE in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not currently needed and should be reclaimed when memory pressure rises. This patch (of 5): When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range, it could give a hint to kernel that the pages can be reclaimed when memory pressure happens but data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance. This patch introduces the new MADV_COLD hint to madvise(2) syscall. MADV_COLD can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected to be used in the near future. The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to evict early during memory pressure. It works for every LRU pages like MADV_[DONTNEED|FREE]. IOW, It moves active file page -> inactive file LRU active anon page -> inacdtive anon LRU Unlike MADV_FREE, it doesn't move active anonymous pages to inactive file LRU's head because MADV_COLD is a little bit different symantic. MADV_FREE means it's okay to discard when the memory pressure because the content of the page is *garbage* so freeing such pages is almost zero overhead since we don't need to swap out and access afterward causes just minor fault. Thus, it would make sense to put those freeable pages in inactive file LRU to compete other used-once pages. It makes sense for implmentaion point of view, too because it's not swapbacked memory any longer until it would be re-dirtied. Even, it could give a bonus to make them be reclaimed on swapless system. However, MADV_COLD doesn't mean garbage so reclaiming them requires swap-out/in in the end so it's bigger cost. Since we have designed VM LRU aging based on cost-model, anonymous cold pages would be better to position inactive anon's LRU list, not file LRU. Furthermore, it would help to avoid unnecessary scanning if system doesn't have a swap device. Let's start simpler way without adding complexity at this moment. However, keep in mind, too that it's a caveat that workloads with a lot of pages cache are likely to ignore MADV_COLD on anonymous memory because we rarely age anonymous LRU lists. * man-page material MADV_COLD (since Linux x.x) Pages in the specified regions will be treated as less-recently-accessed compared to pages in the system with similar access frequencies. In contrast to MADV_FREE, the contents of the region are preserved regardless of subsequent writes to pages. MADV_COLD cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP pages.

mm, swap: use rbtree for swap_extent
swap_extent is used to map swap page offset to backing device's block offset. For a continuous block range, one swap_extent is used and all these swap_extents are managed in a linked list. These swap_extents are used by map_swap_entry() during swap's read and write path. To find out the backing device's block offset for a page offset, the swap_extent list will be traversed linearly, with curr_swap_extent being used as a cache to speed up the search. This works well as long as swap_extents are not huge or when the number of processes that access swap device are few, but when the swap device has many extents and there are a number of processes accessing the swap device concurrently, it can be a problem. On one of our servers, the disk's remaining size is tight: $df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on ... ... /dev/nvme0n1p1 1.8T 1.3T 504G 72% /home/t4 When creating a 80G swapfile there, there are as many as 84656 swap extents. The end result is, kernel spends abou 30% time in map_swap_entry() and swap throughput is only 70MB/s. As a comparison, when I used smaller sized swapfile, like 4G whose swap_extent dropped to 2000, swap throughput is back to 400-500MB/s and map_swap_entry() is about 3%. One downside of using rbtree for swap_extent is, 'struct rbtree' takes 24 bytes while 'struct list_head' takes 16 bytes, that's 8 bytes more for each swap_extent. For a swapfile that has 80k swap_extents, that means 625KiB more memory consumed. Test: Since it's not possible to reboot that server, I can not test this patch diretly there. Instead, I tested it on another server with NVMe disk. I created a 20G swapfile on an NVMe backed XFS fs. By default, the filesystem is quite clean and the created swapfile has only 2 extents. Testing vanilla and this patch shows no obvious performance difference when swapfile is not fragmented. To see the patch's effects, I used some tweaks to manually fragment the swapfile by breaking the extent at 1M boundary. This made the swapfile have 20K extents. nr_task=4 kernel swapout(KB/s) map_swap_entry(perf) swapin(KB/s) map_swap_entry(perf) vanilla 165191 90.77% 171798 90.21% patched 858993 +420% 2.16% 715827 +317% 0.77% nr_task=8 kernel swapout(KB/s) map_swap_entry(perf) swapin(KB/s) map_swap_entry(perf) vanilla 306783 92.19% 318145 87.76% patched 954437 +211% 2.35% 1073741 +237% 1.57% swapout: the throughput of swap out, in KB/s, higher is better 1st map_swap_entry: cpu cycles percent sampled by perf swapin: the throughput of swap in, in KB/s, higher is better. 2nd map_swap_entry: cpu cycles percent sampled by perf nr_task=1 doesn't show any difference, this is due to the curr_swap_extent can be effectively used to cache the correct swap extent for single task workload.

mm, swap: fix race between swapoff and some swap operations
When swapin is performed, after getting the swap entry information from
the page table, system will swap in the swap entry, without any lock held
to prevent the swap device from being swapoff. This may cause the race
like below,
CPU 1 CPU 2
----- -----
do_swap_page
swapin_readahead
__read_swap_cache_async
swapoff swapcache_prepare
p->swap_map = NULL __swap_duplicate
p->swap_map[?] /* !!! NULL pointer access */
Because swapoff is usually done when system shutdown only, the race may
not hit many people in practice. But it is still a race need to be fixed.
To fix the race, get_swap_device() is added to check whether the specified
swap entry is valid in its swap device. If so, it will keep the swap
entry valid via preventing the swap device from being swapoff, until
put_swap_device() is called.
Because swapoff() is very rare code path, to make the normal path runs as
fast as possible, rcu_read_lock/unlock() and synchronize_rcu() instead of
reference count is used to implement get/put_swap_device(). >From
get_swap_device() to put_swap_device(), RCU reader side is locked, so
synchronize_rcu() in swapoff() will wait until put_swap_device() is
called.
In addition to swap_map, cluster_info, etc. data structure in the struct
swap_info_struct, the swap cache radix tree will be freed after swapoff,
so this patch fixes the race between swap cache looking up and swapoff
too.
Races between some other swap cache usages and swapoff are fixed too via
calling synchronize_rcu() between clearing PageSwapCache() and freeing
swap cache data structure.
Another possible method to fix this is to use preempt_off() +
stop_machine() to prevent the swap device from being swapoff when its data
structure is being accessed. The overhead in hot-path of both methods is
similar. The advantages of RCU based method are,
1. stop_machine() may disturb the normal execution code path on other
CPUs.
2. File cache uses RCU to protect its radix tree. If the similar
mechanism is used for swap cache too, it is easier to share code
between them.
3. RCU is used to protect swap cache in total_swapcache_pages() and
exit_swap_address_space() already. The two mechanisms can be
merged to simplify the logic.

mm, drm/i915: mark pinned shmemfs pages as unevictable
The i915 driver uses shmemfs to allocate backing storage for gem objects. These shmemfs pages can be pinned (increased ref count) by shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp(). When a lot of pages are pinned, vmscan wastes a lot of time scanning these pinned pages. In some extreme case, all pages in the inactive anon lru are pinned, and only the inactive anon lru is scanned due to inactive_ratio, the system cannot swap and invokes the oom-killer. Mark these pinned pages as unevictable to speed up vmscan. Export pagevec API check_move_unevictable_pages(). This patch was inspired by Chris Wilson's change [1].

mm: split SWP_FILE into SWP_ACTIVATED and SWP_FS
The SWP_FILE flag serves two purposes: to make swap_{read,write}page() go
through the filesystem, and to make swapoff() call ->swap_deactivate().
For Btrfs, we want the latter but not the former, so split this flag into
two. This makes us always call ->swap_deactivate() if ->swap_activate()
succeeded, not just if it didn't add any swap extents itself.
This also resolves the issue of the very misleading name of SWP_FILE,
which is only used for swap files over NFS.

mm: workingset: tell cache transitions from workingset thrashing
Refaults happen during transitions between workingsets as well as in-place thrashing. Knowing the difference between the two has a range of applications, including measuring the impact of memory shortage on the system performance, as well as the ability to smarter balance pressure between the filesystem cache and the swap-backed workingset. During workingset transitions, inactive cache refaults and pushes out established active cache. When that active cache isn't stale, however, and also ends up refaulting, that's bonafide thrashing. Introduce a new page flag that tells on eviction whether the page has been active or not in its lifetime. This bit is then stored in the shadow entry, to classify refaults as transitioning or thrashing. How many page->flags does this leave us with on 32-bit? 20 bits are always page flags 21 if you have an MMU 23 with the zone bits for DMA, Normal, HighMem, Movable 29 with the sparsemem section bits 30 if PAE is enabled 31 with this patch. So on 32-bit PAE, that leaves 1 bit for distinguishing two NUMA nodes. If that's not enough, the system can switch to discontigmem and re-gain the 6 or 7 sparsemem section bits.

mm, swap, get_swap_pages: use entry_size instead of cluster in parameter
As suggested by Matthew Wilcox, it is better to use "int entry_size"
instead of "bool cluster" as parameter to specify whether to operate for
huge or normal swap entries. Because this improve the flexibility to
support other swap entry size. And Dave Hansen thinks that this
improves code readability too.
So in this patch, the "bool cluster" parameter of get_swap_pages() is
replaced by "int entry_size".
And nr_swap_entries() trick is used to reduce the binary size when

mm, mlock, vmscan: no more skipping pagevecs
When a thread mlocks an address space backed either by file pages which are currently not present in memory or swapped out anon pages (not in swapcache), a new page is allocated and added to the local pagevec (lru_add_pvec), I/O is triggered and the thread then sleeps on the page. On I/O completion, the thread can wake on a different CPU, the mlock syscall will then sets the PageMlocked() bit of the page but will not be able to put that page in unevictable LRU as the page is on the pagevec of a different CPU. Even on drain, that page will go to evictable LRU because the PageMlocked() bit is not checked on pagevec drain. The page will eventually go to right LRU on reclaim but the LRU stats will remain skewed for a long time. This patch puts all the pages, even unevictable, to the pagevecs and on the drain, the pages will be added on their LRUs correctly by checking their evictability. This resolves the mlocked pages on pagevec of other CPUs issue because when those pagevecs will be drained, the mlocked file pages will go to unevictable LRU. Also this makes the race with munlock easier to resolve because the pagevec drains happen in LRU lock. However there is still one place which makes a page evictable and does PageLRU check on that page without LRU lock and needs special attention. TestClearPageMlocked() and isolate_lru_page() in clear_page_mlock(). #0: __pagevec_lru_add_fn #1: clear_page_mlock SetPageLRU() if (!TestClearPageMlocked()) return smp_mb() // <--required // inside does PageLRU if (!PageMlocked()) if (isolate_lru_page()) move to evictable LRU putback_lru_page() else move to unevictable LRU In '#1', TestClearPageMlocked() provides full memory barrier semantics and thus the PageLRU check (inside isolate_lru_page) can not be reordered before it. In '#0', without explicit memory barrier, the PageMlocked() check can be reordered before SetPageLRU(). If that happens, '#0' can put a page in unevictable LRU and '#1' might have just cleared the Mlocked bit of that page but fails to isolate as PageLRU fails as '#0' still hasn't set PageLRU bit of that page. That page will be stranded on the unevictable LRU. There is one (good) side effect though. Without this patch, the pages allocated for System V shared memory segment are added to evictable LRUs even after shmctl(SHM_LOCK) on that segment. This patch will correctly put such pages to unevictable LRU.

mm: drop hotplug lock from lru_add_drain_all()
Pulling cpu hotplug locks inside the mm core function like
lru_add_drain_all just asks for problems and the recent lockdep splat
[1] just proves this. While the usage in that particular case might be
wrong we should avoid the locking as lru_add_drain_all() is used in many
places. It seems that this is not all that hard to achieve actually.
We have done the same thing for drain_all_pages which is analogous by
commit

mm: remove cold parameter for release_pages
All callers of release_pages claim the pages being released are cache hot. As no one cares about the hotness of pages being released to the allocator, just ditch the parameter. No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal. The parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless parameter copied everywhere.

mm, truncate: do not check mapping for every page being truncated
During truncation, the mapping has already been checked for shmem and
dax so it's known that workingset_update_node is required.
This patch avoids the checks on mapping for each page being truncated.
In all other cases, a lookup helper is used to determine if
workingset_update_node() needs to be called. The one danger is that the
API is slightly harder to use as calling workingset_update_node directly
without checking for dax or shmem mappings could lead to surprises.
However, the API rarely needs to be used and hopefully the comment is
enough to give people the hint.

workingset_update_node and as it no longer requires a mapping, the
private field is removed.

mm: swap: SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO: skip swapcache only if swapped page has no other reference
When SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO swapped-in pages are shared by several processes, it can cause unnecessary memory wastage by skipping swap cache. Because, with swapin fault by read, they could share a page if the page were in swap cache. Thus, it avoids allocating same content new pages. This patch makes the swapcache skipping work only if the swap pte is non-sharable.

mm, swap: skip swapcache for swapin of synchronous device
With fast swap storage, the platforms want to use swap more aggressively and swap-in is crucial to application latency. The rw_page() based synchronous devices like zram, pmem and btt are such fast storage. When I profile swapin performance with zram lz4 decompress test, S/W overhead is more than 70%. Maybe, it would be bigger in nvdimm. This patch aims to reduce swap-in latency by skipping swapcache if the swap device is synchronous device like rw_page based device. It enhances 45% my swapin test(5G sequential swapin, no readahead, from 2.41sec to 1.64sec).

mm, swap: fix race between swap count continuation operations
One page may store a set of entries of the sis->swap_map
(swap_info_struct->swap_map) in multiple swap clusters.
If some of the entries has sis->swap_map[offset] > SWAP_MAP_MAX,
multiple pages will be used to store the set of entries of the
sis->swap_map. And the pages are linked with page->lru. This is called
swap count continuation. To access the pages which store the set of
entries of the sis->swap_map simultaneously, previously, sis->lock is
used. But to improve the scalability of __swap_duplicate(), swap
cluster lock may be used in swap_count_continued() now. This may race
with add_swap_count_continuation() which operates on a nearby swap
cluster, in which the sis->swap_map entries are stored in the same page.
The race can cause wrong swap count in practice, thus cause unfreeable
swap entries or software lockup, etc.
To fix the race, a new spin lock called cont_lock is added to struct
swap_info_struct to protect the swap count continuation page list. This
is a lock at the swap device level, so the scalability isn't very well.
But it is still much better than the original sis->lock, because it is
only acquired/released when swap count continuation is used. Which is
considered rare in practice. If it turns out that the scalability
becomes an issue for some workloads, we can split the lock into some
more fine grained locks.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.
