Maximal readahead size is limited now by two values:
1) by global 2Mb constant (MAX_READAHEAD in max_sane_readahead())
2) by configurable per-device value* (bdi->ra_pages)
There are devices, which require custom readahead limit.
For instance, for RAIDs it's calculated as number of devices
multiplied by chunk size times 2.
Readahead size can never be larger than bdi->ra_pages * 2 value
(POSIX_FADV_SEQUNTIAL doubles readahead size).
If so, why do we need two limits?
I suggest to completely remove this max_sane_readahead() stuff and
use per-device readahead limit everywhere.
Also, using right readahead size for RAID disks can significantly
increase i/o performance:
before:
dd if=/dev/md2 of=/dev/null bs=100M count=100
100+0 records in
100+0 records out
10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 12.9741 s, 808 MB/s
after:
$ dd if=/dev/md2 of=/dev/null bs=100M count=100
100+0 records in
100+0 records out
10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 8.91317 s, 1.2 GB/s
(It's an 8-disks RAID5 storage).
This patch doesn't change sys_readahead and madvise(MADV_WILLNEED)
behavior introduced by 6d2be915e5 ("mm/readahead.c: fix readahead
failure for memoryless NUMA nodes and limit readahead pages").

Commit a2f3aa0257 ("[PATCH] Fix sparsemem on Cell") fixed an oops
experienced on the Cell architecture when init-time functions,
early_*(), are called at runtime by introducing an 'enum memmap_context'
parameter to memmap_init_zone() and init_currently_empty_zone(). This
parameter is intended to be used to tell whether the call of these two
functions is being made on behalf of a hotplug event, or happening at
boot-time. However, init_currently_empty_zone() does not use this
parameter at all, so remove it.

With the setup_nr_nodes(), we have already initialized
node_possible_map. So it is safe to use for_each_node here.
There are many places in the kernel that use hardcoded 'for' loop with
nr_node_ids, because all other architectures have numa nodes populated
serially. That should be reason we had maintained the same for
powerpc.
But, since sparse numa node ids possible on powerpc, we unnecessarily
allocate memory for non existent numa nodes.
For e.g., on a system with 0,1,16,17 as numa nodes nr_node_ids=18 and
we allocate memory for nodes 2-14. This patch we allocate memory for
only existing numa nodes.
The patch is boot tested on a 4 node tuleta, confirming with printks
that it works as expected.

The functions used in the patch are in slowpath, which gets called
whenever alloc_super is called during mounts.
Though this should not make difference for the architectures with
sequential numa node ids, for the powerpc which can potentially have
sparse node ids (for e.g., 4 node system having numa ids, 0,1,16,17 is
common), this patch saves some unnecessary allocations for non existing
numa nodes.
Even without that saving, perhaps patch makes code more readable.

__memcg_kmem_bypass() decides whether a kmem allocation should be bypassed
to the root memcg. Some conditions that it tests are valid criteria
regarding who should be held accountable; however, there are a couple
unnecessary tests for cold paths - __GFP_FAIL and fatal_signal_pending().
The previous patch updated try_charge() to handle both __GFP_FAIL and
dying tasks correctly and the only thing these two tests are doing is
making accounting less accurate and sprinkling tests for cold path
conditions in the hot paths. There's nothing meaningful gained by these
extra tests.
This patch removes the two unnecessary tests from __memcg_kmem_bypass().

try_charge() is the main charging logic of memcg. When it hits the limit
but either can't fail the allocation due to __GFP_NOFAIL or the task is
likely to free memory very soon, being OOM killed, has SIGKILL pending or
exiting, it "bypasses" the charge to the root memcg and returns -EINTR.
While this is one approach which can be taken for these situations, it has
several issues.
* It unnecessarily lies about the reality. The number itself doesn't
go over the limit but the actual usage does. memcg is either forced
to or actively chooses to go over the limit because that is the
right behavior under the circumstances, which is completely fine,
but, if at all avoidable, it shouldn't be misrepresenting what's
happening by sneaking the charges into the root memcg.
* Despite trying, we already do over-charge. kmemcg can't deal with
switching over to the root memcg by the point try_charge() returns
-EINTR, so it open-codes over-charing.
* It complicates the callers. Each try_charge() user has to handle
the weird -EINTR exception. memcg_charge_kmem() does the manual
over-charging. mem_cgroup_do_precharge() performs unnecessary
uncharging of root memcg, which BTW is inconsistent with what
memcg_charge_kmem() does but not broken as [un]charging are noops on
root memcg. mem_cgroup_try_charge() needs to switch the returned
cgroup to the root one.
The reality is that in memcg there are cases where we are forced and/or
willing to go over the limit. Each such case needs to be scrutinized and
justified but there definitely are situations where that is the right
thing to do. We alredy do this but with a superficial and inconsistent
disguise which leads to unnecessary complications.
This patch updates try_charge() so that it over-charges and returns 0 when
deemed necessary. -EINTR return is removed along with all special case
handling in the callers.
While at it, remove the local variable @ret, which was initialized to zero
and never changed, along with done: label which just returned the always
zero @ret.

Currently, try_charge() tries to reclaim memory synchronously when the
high limit is breached; however, if the allocation doesn't have
__GFP_WAIT, synchronous reclaim is skipped. If a process performs only
speculative allocations, it can blow way past the high limit. This is
actually easily reproducible by simply doing "find /". slab/slub
allocator tries speculative allocations first, so as long as there's
memory which can be consumed without blocking, it can keep allocating
memory regardless of the high limit.
This patch makes try_charge() always punt the over-high reclaim to the
return-to-userland path. If try_charge() detects that high limit is
breached, it adds the overage to current->memcg_nr_pages_over_high and
schedules execution of mem_cgroup_handle_over_high() which performs
synchronous reclaim from the return-to-userland path.
As long as kernel doesn't have a run-away allocation spree, this should
provide enough protection while making kmemcg behave more consistently.
It also has the following benefits.
- All over-high reclaims can use GFP_KERNEL regardless of the specific
gfp mask in use, e.g. GFP_NOFS, when the limit was breached.
- It copes with prio inversion. Previously, a low-prio task with
small memory.high might perform over-high reclaim with a bunch of
locks held. If a higher prio task needed any of these locks, it
would have to wait until the low prio task finished reclaim and
released the locks. By handing over-high reclaim to the task exit
path this issue can be avoided.

probe_kernel_address() is basically the same as the (later added)
probe_kernel_read().
The return value on EFAULT is a bit different: probe_kernel_address()
returns number-of-bytes-not-copied whereas probe_kernel_read() returns
-EFAULT. All callers have been checked, none cared.
probe_kernel_read() can be overridden by the architecture whereas
probe_kernel_address() cannot. parisc, blackfin and um do this, to insert
additional checking. Hence this patch possibly fixes obscure bugs,
although there are only two probe_kernel_address() callsites outside
arch/.
My first attempt involved removing probe_kernel_address() entirely and
converting all callsites to use probe_kernel_read() directly, but that got
tiresome.
This patch shrinks mm/slab_common.o by 218 bytes. For a single

On systems with a KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE of 128 (arm64, some mips and powerpc
configurations defining ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN to 128), the first
kmalloc_caches[] entry to be initialised after slab_early_init = 0 is
"kmalloc-128" with index 7. Depending on the debug kernel configuration,
sizeof(struct kmem_cache) can be larger than 128 resulting in an
INDEX_NODE of 8.
Commit 8fc9cf420b ("slab: make more slab management structure off the
slab") enables off-slab management objects for sizes starting with
PAGE_SIZE >> 5 (128 bytes for a 4KB page configuration) and the creation
of the "kmalloc-128" cache would try to place the management objects
off-slab. However, since KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE is already 128 and
freelist_size == 32 in __kmem_cache_create(), kmalloc_slab(freelist_size)
returns NULL (kmalloc_caches[7] not populated yet). This triggers the
following bug on arm64:

The last patch in the series addresses Linus' comment from
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=144148518703321&w=2
(well, it's been some time. sorry.)
gnuplot script takes the slabinfo records file, where every record is a `slabinfo -X'
output. So the basic workflow is, for example, as follows:
while [ 1 ]; do slabinfo -X -N 2 >> stats; sleep 1; done
^C
slabinfo-gnuplot.sh stats
The last command will produce 3 png files (and 3 stats files)
-- graph of slabinfo totals
-- graph of slabs by size
-- graph of slabs by loss
It's also possible to select a range of records for plotting (a range of collected
slabinfo outputs) via `-r 10,100` (for example); and compare totals from several
measurements (to visially compare slabs behaviour (10,50 range)) using
pre-parsed totals files:
slabinfo-gnuplot.sh -r 10,50 -t stats-totals1 .. stats-totals2
This also, technically, supports ktest. Upload new slabinfo to target,
collect the stats and give the resulting stats file to slabinfo-gnuplot
This patch (of 8):
Use getopt constants in `struct option' ->has_arg instead of numerical
representations.

Currently, when kmem_cache_destroy() is called for a global cache, we
print a warning for each per memcg cache attached to it that has active
objects (see shutdown_cache). This is redundant, because it gives no new
information and only clutters the log. If a cache being destroyed has
active objects, there must be a memory leak in the module that created the
cache, and it does not matter if the cache was used by users in memory
cgroups or not.
This patch moves the warning from shutdown_cache(), which is called for
shutting down both global and per memcg caches, to kmem_cache_destroy(),
so that the warning is only printed once if there are objects left in the
cache being destroyed.

Currently, we do not clear pointers to per memcg caches in the
memcg_params.memcg_caches array when a global cache is destroyed with
kmem_cache_destroy.
This is fine if the global cache does get destroyed. However, a cache can
be left on the list if it still has active objects when kmem_cache_destroy
is called (due to a memory leak). If this happens, the entries in the
array will point to already freed areas, which is likely to result in data
corruption when the cache is reused (via slab merging).

do_kmem_cache_create(), do_kmem_cache_shutdown(), and
do_kmem_cache_release() sound awkward for static helper functions that are
not supposed to be used outside slab_common.c. Rename them to
create_cache(), shutdown_cache(), and release_caches(), respectively.
This patch is a pure cleanup and does not introduce any functional
changes.

The patch "slab.h: sprinkle __assume_aligned attributes" causes *tons* of
whinges if you do 'make C=2' with sparse 0.5.0:
CHECK drivers/media/usb/pwc/pwc-if.c
include/linux/slab.h:307:43: error: attribute '__assume_aligned__': unknown attribute
include/linux/slab.h:308:58: error: attribute '__assume_aligned__': unknown attribute

include/linux/slab.h:375:74: error: attribute '__assume_aligned__': unknown attribute
include/linux/slab.h:378:80: error: attribute '__assume_aligned__': unknown attribute
sparse apparently pretends to be gcc >= 4.9, yet isn't prepared to handle
all the function attributes supported by those gccs and complains loudly.
So hide the definition of __assume_aligned from it (so that the generic
one in compiler.h gets used).

gcc 4.9 added the function attribute assume_aligned, indicating to the
caller that the returned pointer may be assumed to have a certain minimal
alignment. This is useful if, for example, the return value is passed to
memset(). Add a shorthand macro for that.

Theoretically it is possible that the watchdog timer expires right at the
time when a user sets 'watchdog_thresh' to zero (note: this disables the
lockup detectors). In this scenario, the is_softlockup() function - which
is called by the timer - could produce a false positive.
Fix this by checking the current value of 'watchdog_thresh'.

watchdog_{park|unpark}_threads() are now called in code paths that protect
themselves against CPU hotplug, so {get|put}_online_cpus() calls are

The handler functions for watchdog parameters in /proc/sys/kernel do not
protect themselves against races with CPU hotplug. Hence, theoretically
it is possible that a new watchdog thread is started on a hotplugged CPU
while a parameter is being modified, and the thread could thus use a
parameter value that is 'in transition'.
For example, if 'watchdog_thresh' is being set to zero (note: this
disables the lockup detectors) the thread would erroneously use the value
zero as the sample period.
To avoid such races and to keep the /proc handler code consistent,
call
{get|put}_online_cpus() in proc_watchdog_common()
{get|put}_online_cpus() in proc_watchdog_thresh()
{get|put}_online_cpus() in proc_watchdog_cpumask()
