01c0bfe061 mm: rename gfpflags_to_migratetype to gfp_migratetype for same convention
Pageblock migrate type is encoded in GFP flags, just as zone_type and
zonelist.

Currently we use gfp_zone() and gfp_zonelist() to extract related
information, it would be proper to use the same naming convention for
migrate type.

97a225e69a mm/page_alloc: integrate classzone_idx and high_zoneidx
classzone_idx is just different name for high_zoneidx now.  So, integrate
them and add some comment to struct alloc_context in order to reduce
future confusion about the meaning of this variable.

The accessor, ac_classzone_idx() is also removed since it isn't needed
after integration.

In addition to integration, this patch also renames high_zoneidx to
highest_zoneidx since it represents more precise meaning.

73a6e474cb mm: memmap_init: iterate over memblock regions rather that check each PFN
When called during boot the memmap_init_zone() function checks if each PFN
is valid and actually belongs to the node being initialized using
early_pfn_valid() and early_pfn_in_nid().

Each such check may cost up to O(log(n)) where n is the number of memory
banks, so for large amount of memory overall time spent in early_pfn*()
becomes substantial.

Since the information is anyway present in memblock, we can iterate over
memblock memory regions in memmap_init() and only call memmap_init_zone()
for PFN ranges that are know to be valid and in the appropriate node.

b01b214199 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.

[ bigeasy: Adopted to use local_lock ]

32927393dc sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler
Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which
is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and
from  userspace in common code.  This also means that the strings are
always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit
safer.

As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers
a lot of the changes are mechnical.

the MADV_FREE code, especially the page flag, PG_swapbacked.  This makes
page_is_file_cache() isn't consistent with its comments.  So the function
is renamed to page_is_file_lru() to make them consistent again.  All these
are put in one patch as one logical change.

Since commit 5bbe3547aa ("mm: allow compaction of unevictable pages")
it is allowed to examine mlocked pages and compact them by default.  On
-RT even minor pagefaults are problematic because it may take a few 100us
to resolve them and until then the task is blocked.

Make compact_unevictable_allowed = 0 default and issue a warning on RT if
it is changed.

6467552ca6 mm, compaction: fully assume capture is not NULL in compact_zone_order()
Dan reports:

The patch 5e1f0f098b: "mm, compaction: capture a page under direct
compaction" from Mar 5, 2019, leads to the following Smatch complaint:

    mm/compaction.c:2321 compact_zone_order()
     error: we previously assumed 'capture' could be null (see line 2313)

mm/compaction.c
  2288  static enum compact_result compact_zone_order(struct zone *zone, int order,
  2289                  gfp_t gfp_mask, enum compact_priority prio,
  2290                  unsigned int alloc_flags, int classzone_idx,
  2291                  struct page **capture)
                                      ^^^^^^^

  2313		if (capture)
                    ^^^^^^^
Check for NULL

  2314			current->capture_control = &capc;
  2315
  2316		ret = compact_zone(&cc, &capc);
  2317
  2318		VM_BUG_ON(!list_empty(&cc.freepages));
  2319		VM_BUG_ON(!list_empty(&cc.migratepages));
  2320
  2321		*capture = capc.page;
                ^^^^^^^^
Unchecked dereference.

  2322		current->capture_control = NULL;
  2323

In practice this is not an issue, as the only caller path passes non-NULL
capture:

__alloc_pages_direct_compact()
  struct page *page = NULL;
  try_to_compact_pages(capture = &page);
    compact_zone_order(capture = capture);

So let's remove the unnecessary check, which should also make Smatch happy.

1da2f328fa mm,thp,compaction,cma: allow THP migration for CMA allocations
The code to implement THP migrations already exists, and the code for CMA
to clear out a region of memory already exists.

Only a few small tweaks are needed to allow CMA to move THP memory when
attempting an allocation from alloc_contig_range.

With these changes, migrating THPs from a CMA area works when allocating a
1GB hugepage from CMA memory.

a2e9a5afce mm, compaction: fix wrong pfn handling in __reset_isolation_pfn()
Florian and Dave reported [1] a NULL pointer dereference in
__reset_isolation_pfn().  While the exact cause is unclear, staring at
the code revealed two bugs, which might be related.

One bug is that if zone starts in the middle of pageblock, block_page
might correspond to different pfn than block_pfn, and then the
pfn_valid_within() checks will check different pfn's than those accessed
via struct page.  This might result in acessing an unitialized page in
CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE configs.

The other bug is that end_page refers to the first page of next
pageblock and not last page of current pageblock.  The online and valid
check is then wrong and with sections, the while (page < end_page) loop
might wander off actual struct page arrays.

a94b525241 mm/compaction.c: clear total_{migrate,free}_scanned before scanning a new zone
total_{migrate,free}_scanned will be added to COMPACTMIGRATE_SCANNED and
COMPACTFREE_SCANNED in compact_zone().  We should clear them before
scanning a new zone.  In the proc triggered compaction, we forgot clearing
them.

670105a256 mm: compaction: avoid 100% CPU usage during compaction when a task is killed
"howaboutsynergy" reported via kernel buzilla number 204165 that
compact_zone_order was consuming 100% CPU during a stress test for
prolonged periods of time.  Specifically the following command, which
should exit in 10 seconds, was taking an excessive time to finish while
the CPU was pegged at 100%.

  stress -m 220 --vm-bytes 1000000000 --timeout 10

Tracing indicated a pattern as follows

          stress-3923  [007]   519.106208: mm_compaction_isolate_migratepages: range=(0x70bb80 ~ 0x70bb80) nr_scanned=0 nr_taken=0

Note that compaction is entered in rapid succession while scanning and
isolating nothing.  The problem is that when a task that is compacting
receives a fatal signal, it retries indefinitely instead of exiting
while making no progress as a fatal signal is pending.

It's not easy to trigger this condition although enabling zswap helps on
the basis that the timing is altered.  A very small window has to be hit
for the problem to occur (signal delivered while compacting and
isolating a PFN for migration that is not aligned to SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX).

This was reproduced locally -- 16G single socket system, 8G swap, 30%
zswap configured, vm-bytes 22000000000 using Colin Kings stress-ng
implementation from github running in a loop until the problem hits).
Tracing recorded the problem occurring almost 200K times in a short
window.  With this patch, the problem hit 4 times but the task existed
normally instead of consuming CPU.

This problem has existed for some time but it was made worse by commit
cf66f0700c ("mm, compaction: do not consider a need to reschedule as
contention").  Before that commit, if the same condition was hit then
locks would be quickly contended and compaction would exit that way.

e577c8b64d mm, compaction: make sure we isolate a valid PFN
When we have holes in a normal memory zone, we could endup having
cached_migrate_pfns which may not necessarily be valid, under heavy memory
pressure with swapping enabled ( via __reset_isolation_suitable(),
triggered by kswapd).

Later if we fail to find a page via fast_isolate_freepages(), we may end
up using the migrate_pfn we started the search with, as valid page.  This
could lead to accessing NULL pointer derefernces like below, due to an
invalid mem_section pointer.

The issue was reported on an arm64 server with 128GB with holes in the

running 100 KVM guest instances.

This patch fixes the issue by ensuring that the page belongs to a valid
PFN when we fallback to using the lower limit of the scan range upon
failure in fast_isolate_freepages().

There is no reproducer and it is difficult to hit -- 1 crash every few
days.  The issue is very similar to the fix in commit 6b0868c820
("mm/compaction.c: correct zone boundary handling when resetting pageblock
skip hints").  When isolating free pages around a target pageblock, the
boundary handling is off by one and can stray into the next pageblock.
Triggering the syzbot error requires that the end of pageblock is section
or zone aligned, and that the next section is unpopulated.

A more subtle consequence of the bug is that pageblocks were being
improperly used as migration targets which potentially hurts fragmentation
avoidance in the long-term one page at a time.

A debugging patch revealed that it's definitely possible to stray outside
of a pageblock which is not intended.  While syzbot cannot be used to
verify this patch, it was confirmed that the debugging warning no longer
triggers with this patch applied.  It has also been confirmed that the THP
allocation stress tests are not degraded by this patch.

He bisected it down to e332f741a8 ("mm, compaction: be selective about
what pageblocks to clear skip hints").  The problem is that the patch in
question was sloppy with respect to the handling of zone boundaries.  In
some instances, it was possible for PFNs outside of a zone to be examined
and if those were not properly initialised or poisoned then it would
trigger the VM_BUG_ON.  This patch corrects the zone boundary issues when
resetting pageblock skip hints and Mikhail reported that the bug did not
trigger after 30 hours of testing.

f4b7e272b5 mm: remove zone_lru_lock() function, access ->lru_lock directly
We have common pattern to access lru_lock from a page pointer:
	zone_lru_lock(page_zone(page))

Which is silly, because it unfolds to this:
	&NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->node_zones[page_zonenum(page)]->zone_pgdat->lru_lock
while we can simply do
	&NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))->lru_lock

Remove zone_lru_lock() function, since it's only complicate things.  Use
'page_pgdat(page)->lru_lock' pattern instead.

5e1f0f098b mm, compaction: capture a page under direct compaction
Compaction is inherently race-prone as a suitable page freed during
compaction can be allocated by any parallel task.  This patch uses a
capture_control structure to isolate a page immediately when it is freed
by a direct compactor in the slow path of the page allocator.  The
intent is to avoid redundant scanning.

                                     5.0.0-rc1              5.0.0-rc1

Latency is only moderately affected but the devil is in the details.  A
closer examination indicates that base page fault latency is reduced but
latency of huge pages is increased as it takes creater care to succeed.
Part of the "problem" is that allocation success rates are close to 100%
even when under pressure and compaction gets harder

and 29% for the free scanner indicating that there is less redundant
work.

e332f741a8 mm, compaction: be selective about what pageblocks to clear skip hints
Pageblock hints are cleared when compaction restarts or kswapd makes
enough progress that it can sleep but it's over-eager in that the bit is
cleared for migration sources with no LRU pages and migration targets
with no free pages.  As pageblock skip hint flushes are relatively rare
and out-of-band with respect to kswapd, this patch makes a few more
expensive checks to see if it's appropriate to even clear the bit.
Every pageblock that is not cleared will avoid 512 pages being scanned
unnecessarily on x86-64.

The impact is variable with different workloads showing small
differences in latency, success rates and scan rates.  This is expected
as clearing the hints is not that common but doing a small amount of
work out-of-band to avoid a large amount of work in-band later is
generally a good thing.

4fca9730c5 mm, compaction: sample pageblocks for free pages
Once fast searching finishes, there is a possibility that the linear
scanner is scanning full blocks found by the fast scanner earlier.  This
patch uses an adaptive stride to sample pageblocks for free pages.  The
more consecutive full pageblocks encountered, the larger the stride
until a pageblock with free pages is found.  The scanners might meet
slightly sooner but it is an acceptable risk given that the search of
the free lists may still encounter the pages and adjust the cached PFN
of the free scanner accordingly.

The latency is mildly improved offseting some overhead from earlier

major impact is on the free scan rate with an 82% reduction.

It's also the first time in the series where the number of pages scanned

dbe2d4e4f1 mm, compaction: round-robin the order while searching the free lists for a target
As compaction proceeds and creates high-order blocks, the free list
search gets less efficient as the larger blocks are used as compaction
targets.  Eventually, the larger blocks will be behind the migration
scanner for partially migrated pageblocks and the search fails.  This
patch round-robins what orders are searched so that larger blocks can be
ignored and find smaller blocks that can be used as migration targets.

The overall impact was small on 1-socket but it avoids corner cases
where the migration/free scanners meet prematurely or situations where
many of the pageblocks encountered by the free scanner are almost full
instead of being properly packed.  Previous testing had indicated that
without this patch there were occasional large spikes in the free
scanner without this patch.

d097a6f635 mm, compaction: reduce premature advancement of the migration target scanner
The fast isolation of free pages allows the cached PFN of the free
scanner to advance faster than necessary depending on the contents of
the free list.  The key is that fast_isolate_freepages() can update
zone->compact_cached_free_pfn via isolate_freepages_block().  When the
fast search fails, the linear scan can start from a point that has
skipped valid migration targets, particularly pageblocks with just
low-order free pages.  This can cause the migration source/target
scanners to meet prematurely causing a reset.

This patch starts by avoiding an update of the pageblock skip
information and cached PFN from isolate_freepages_block() and puts the
responsibility of updating that information in the callers.  The fast
scanner will update the cached PFN if and only if it finds a block that
is higher than the existing cached PFN and sets the skip if the
pageblock is full or nearly full.  The linear scanner will update
skipped information and the cached PFN only when a block is completely
scanned.  The total impact is that the free scanner advances more slowly
as it is primarily driven by the linear scanner instead of the fast
search.

The impact to latency is higher than the last version but it appears to
be due to a slight increase in the free scan rates which is a potential
side-effect of the patch.  However, this is necessary for later patches
that are more careful about how pageblocks are treated as earlier
iterations of those patches hit corner cases where the restarts were
punishing and very visible.

cf66f0700c mm, compaction: do not consider a need to reschedule as contention
Scanning on large machines can take a considerable length of time and
eventually need to be rescheduled.  This is treated as an abort event
but that's not appropriate as the attempt is likely to be retried after
making numerous checks and taking another cycle through the page
allocator.  This patch will check the need to reschedule if necessary
but continue the scanning.

The main benefit is reduced scanning when compaction is taking a long
time or the machine is over-saturated.  It also avoids an unnecessary
exit of compaction that ends up being retried by the page allocator in
the outer loop.

cb810ad294 mm, compaction: rework compact_should_abort as compact_check_resched
With incremental changes, compact_should_abort no longer makes any
documented sense.  Rename to compact_check_resched and update the
associated comments.  There is no benefit other than reducing redundant
code and making the intent slightly clearer.  It could potentially be
merged with earlier patches but it just makes the review slightly
harder.

8854c55f54 mm, compaction: keep cached migration PFNs synced for unusable pageblocks
Migrate has separate cached PFNs for ASYNC and SYNC* migration on the
basis that some migrations will fail in ASYNC mode.  However, if the
cached PFNs match at the start of scanning and pageblocks are skipped
due to having no isolation candidates, then the sync state does not
matter.  This patch keeps matching cached PFNs in sync until a pageblock
with isolation candidates is found.

The actual benefit is marginal given that the sync scanner following the
async scanner will often skip a number of pageblocks but it's useless
work.  Any benefit depends heavily on whether the scanners restarted
recently.

9bebefd590 mm, compaction: check early for huge pages encountered by the migration scanner
When scanning for sources or targets, PageCompound is checked for huge
pages as they can be skipped quickly but it happens relatively late
after a lot of setup and checking.  This patch short-cuts the check to
make it earlier.  It might still change when the lock is acquired but
this has less overhead overall.  The free scanner advances but the
migration scanner does not.  Typically the free scanner encounters more
movable blocks that change state over the lifetime of the system and
also tends to scan more aggressively as it's actively filling its
portion of the physical address space with data.  This could change in
the future but for the moment, this worked better in practice and
incurred fewer scan restarts.

The impact on latency and allocation success rates is marginal but the
free scan rates are reduced by 15% and system CPU usage is reduced by
3.3%.  The 2-socket results are not materially different.

cb2dcaf023 mm, compaction: finish pageblock scanning on contention
Async migration aborts on spinlock contention but contention can be high
when there are multiple compaction attempts and kswapd is active.  The
consequence is that the migration scanners move forward uselessly while
still contending on locks for longer while leaving suitable migration
sources behind.

This patch will acquire the lock but track when contention occurs.  When
it does, the current pageblock will finish as compaction may succeed for
that block and then abort.  This will have a variable impact on latency
as in some cases useless scanning is avoided (reduces latency) but a
lock will be contended (increase latency) or a single contended
pageblock is scanned that would otherwise have been skipped (increase
latency).

Migration scan rates are reduced 28% which is expected as a pageblock is
used by the async scanner instead of skipped.  The impact on the free
scanner is known to be variable.  Overall the primary justification for
this patch is that completing scanning of a pageblock is very important
for later patches.

804d3121ba mm, compaction: avoid rescanning the same pageblock multiple times
Pageblocks are marked for skip when no pages are isolated after a scan.
However, it's possible to hit corner cases where the migration scanner
gets stuck near the boundary between the source and target scanner.  Due
to pages being migrated in blocks of COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX, pages that are
migrated can be reallocated before the pageblock is complete.  The
pageblock is not necessarily skipped so it can be rescanned multiple
times.  Similarly, a pageblock with some dirty/writeback pages may fail
to migrate and be rescanned until writeback completes which is wasteful.

This patch tracks if a pageblock is being rescanned.  If so, then the
entire pageblock will be migrated as one operation.  This narrows the
race window during which pages can be reallocated during migration.
Secondly, if there are pages that cannot be isolated then the pageblock
will still be fully scanned and marked for skipping.  On the second
rescan, the pageblock skip is set and the migration scanner makes
progress.

Negligible difference but this was likely a case when the specific
corner case was not hit.  A previous run of the same patch based on an
earlier iteration of the series showed large differences where migration
rates could be halved when the corner case was hit.

The specific corner case where migration scan rates go through the roof
was due to a dirty/writeback pageblock located at the boundary of the
migration/free scanner did not happen in this case.  When it does
happen, the scan rates multipled by massive margins.

5a811889de mm, compaction: use free lists to quickly locate a migration target
Similar to the migration scanner, this patch uses the free lists to
quickly locate a migration target.  The search is different in that
lower orders will be searched for a suitable high PFN if necessary but
the search is still bound.  This is justified on the grounds that the
free scanner typically scans linearly much more than the migration
scanner.

If a free page is found, it is isolated and compaction continues if
enough pages were isolated.  For SYNC* scanning, the full pageblock is
scanned for any remaining free pages so that is can be marked for
skipping in the near future.

e380bebe47 mm, compaction: keep migration source private to a single compaction instance
Due to either a fast search of the free list or a linear scan, it is
possible for multiple compaction instances to pick the same pageblock
for migration.  This is lucky for one scanner and increased scanning for
all the others.  It also allows a race between requests on which first
allocates the resulting free block.

This patch tests and updates the pageblock skip for the migration
scanner carefully.  When isolating a block, it will check and skip if
the block is already in use.  Once the zone lock is acquired, it will be
rechecked so that only one scanner can set the pageblock skip for
exclusive use.  Any scanner contending will continue with a linear scan.
The skip bit is still set if no pages can be isolated in a range.  While
this may result in redundant scanning, it avoids unnecessarily acquiring
the zone lock when there are no suitable migration sources.

70b44595ea mm, compaction: use free lists to quickly locate a migration source
The migration scanner is a linear scan of a zone with a potentiall large
search space.  Furthermore, many pageblocks are unusable such as those
filled with reserved pages or partially filled with pages that cannot
migrate.  These still get scanned in the common case of allocating a THP
and the cost accumulates.

The patch uses a partial search of the free lists to locate a migration
source candidate that is marked as MOVABLE when allocating a THP.  It
prefers picking a block with a larger number of free pages already on
the basis that there are fewer pages to migrate to free the entire
block.  The lowest PFN found during searches is tracked as the basis of
the start for the linear search after the first search of the free list
fails.  After the search, the free list is shuffled so that the next
search will not encounter the same page.  If the search fails then the
subsequent searches will be shorter and the linear scanner is used.

If this search fails, or if the request is for a small or
unmovable/reclaimable allocation then the linear scanner is still used.
It is somewhat pointless to use the list search in those cases.  Small
free pages must be used for the search and there is no guarantee that
movable pages are located within that block that are contiguous.

reduction in migration scanning and a 8% reduction on system CPU usage.
A 2-socket machine showed similar benefits.

efe771c760 mm, compaction: always finish scanning of a full pageblock
When compaction is finishing, it uses a flag to ensure the pageblock is
complete but it makes sense to always complete migration of a pageblock.
Minimally, skip information is based on a pageblock and partially
scanned pageblocks may incur more scanning in the future.  The pageblock
skip handling also becomes more strict later in the series and the hint
is more useful if a complete pageblock was always scanned.

The potentially impacts latency as more scanning is done but it's not a
consistent win or loss as the scanning is not always a high percentage
of the pageblock and sometimes it is offset by future reductions in
scanning.  Hence, the results are not presented this time due to a
misleading mix of gains/losses without any clear pattern.  However, full
scanning of the pageblock is important for later patches.

40cacbcb32 mm, compaction: remove unnecessary zone parameter in some instances
A zone parameter is passed into a number of top-level compaction
functions despite the fact that it's already in compact_control.  This
is harmless but it did need an audit to check if zone actually ever
changes meaningfully.  This patches removes the parameter in a number of
top-level functions.  The change could be much deeper but this was
enough to briefly clarify the flow.

No functional change.

eb414681d5 psi: pressure stall information for CPU, memory, and IO
When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard
to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close
the system is to lockups and OOM kills.  In particular, when machines work
multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency
and throughput on the individual job can be enormous.

In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual
job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way
to quantify resource pressure in the system.

A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that
expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO,
respectively.  Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay
accounting delays:

       cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU
       memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache
       io: tasks are waiting for io completions

These percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages,
and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss
incurred by resource overcommit.  They can also indicate when the system
is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs.

To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU
and samples the time they spend in stall states.  Every 2 seconds, the
samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to
eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of
walltime.  A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s,
1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).

The reason for this error is that the span of MOVABLE_ZONE is extended

another problem happened.

It's so late time to fix the later problem so I decide to reverting the

It's possible for free pages to become stranded on per-cpu pagesets
(pcps) that, if drained, could be merged with buddy pages on the zone's
free area to form large order pages, including up to MAX_ORDER.

Consider a verbose example using the tools/vm/page-types tool at the
beginning of a ZONE_NORMAL ('B' indicates a buddy page and 'S' indicates
a slab page).  Pages on pcps do not have any page flags set.

there are only buddy pages and pages without flags set.

These pages may be stranded on pcps that could otherwise allow this
memory to be coalesced if freed back to the zone free area.  It is
possible that some of these pages may not be on pcps and that something
has called alloc_pages() and used the memory directly, but we rely on
the absence of __GFP_MOVABLE in these cases to allocate from
MIGATE_UNMOVABLE pageblocks to try to keep these MIGRATE_MOVABLE
pageblocks as free as possible.

These buddy and pcp pages, spanning 1,621 pages, could be coalesced and
allow for three transparent hugepages to be dynamically allocated.
Running the numbers for all such spans on the system, it was found that
there were over 400 such spans of only buddy pages and pages without
flags set at the time this /proc/kpageflags sample was collected.
Without this support, there were _no_ order-9 or order-10 pages free.

When kcompactd fails to defragment memory such that a cc.order page can
be allocated, drain all pcps for the zone back to the buddy allocator so
this stranding cannot occur.  Compaction for that order will
subsequently be deferred, which acts as a ratelimit on this drain.

d3c85bad89 mm, compaction: remove unneeded pageblock_skip_persistent() checks
Commit f3c931633a59 ("mm, compaction: persistently skip hugetlbfs
pageblocks") has introduced pageblock_skip_persistent() checks into
migration and free scanners, to make sure pageblocks that should be
persistently skipped are marked as such, regardless of the
ignore_skip_hint flag.

Since the previous patch introduced a new no_set_skip_hint flag, the
ignore flag no longer prevents marking pageblocks as skipped.  Therefore
we can remove the special cases.  The relevant pageblocks will be marked
as skipped by the common logic which marks each pageblock where no page
could be isolated.  This makes the code simpler.

2583d67132 mm, compaction: split off flag for not updating skip hints
Pageblock skip hints were added as a heuristic for compaction, which
shares core code with CMA.  Since CMA reliability would suffer from the
heuristics, compact_control flag ignore_skip_hint was added for the CMA
use case.  Since 6815bf3f23 ("mm/compaction: respect ignore_skip_hint
in update_pageblock_skip") the flag also means that CMA won't *update*
the skip hints in addition to ignoring them.

Today, direct compaction can also ignore the skip hints in the last
resort attempt, but there's no reason not to set them when isolation
fails in such case.  Thus, this patch splits off a new no_set_skip_hint
flag to avoid the updating, which only CMA sets.  This should improve
the heuristics a bit, and allow us to simplify the persistent skip bit
handling as the next step.

b527cfe5bc mm, compaction: extend pageblock_skip_persistent() to all compound pages
pageblock_skip_persistent() checks for HugeTLB pages of pageblock order.
When clearing pageblock skip bits for compaction, the bits are not
cleared for such pageblocks, because they cannot contain base pages
suitable for migration, nor free pages to use as migration targets.

This optimization can be simply extended to all compound pages of order
equal or larger than pageblock order, because migrating such pages (if
they support it) cannot help sub-pageblock fragmentation.  This includes
THP's and also gigantic HugeTLB pages, which the current implementation
doesn't persistently skip due to a strict pageblock_order equality check
and not recognizing tail pages.

While THP pages are generally less "persistent" than HugeTLB, we can
still expect that if a THP exists at the point of
__reset_isolation_suitable(), it will exist also during the subsequent
compaction run.  The time difference here could be actually smaller than
between a compaction run that sets a (non-persistent) skip bit on a THP,
and the next compaction run that observes it.

21dc7e0236 mm, compaction: persistently skip hugetlbfs pageblocks
It is pointless to migrate hugetlb memory as part of memory compaction
if the hugetlb size is equal to the pageblock order.  No defragmentation
is occurring in this condition.

It is also pointless to for the freeing scanner to scan a pageblock
where a hugetlb page is pinned.  Unconditionally skip these pageblocks,
and do so peristently so that they are not rescanned until it is
observed that these hugepages are no longer pinned.

It would also be possible to do this by involving the hugetlb subsystem
in marking pageblocks to no longer be skipped when they hugetlb pages
are freed.  This is a simple solution that doesn't involve any
additional subsystems in pageblock skip manipulation.

a0647dc920 mm, compaction: kcompactd should not ignore pageblock skip
Kcompactd is needlessly ignoring pageblock skip information.  It is
doing MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT compaction, which is no more powerful than
MIGRATE_SYNC compaction.

If compaction recently failed to isolate memory from a set of
pageblocks, there is nothing to indicate that kcompactd will be able to
do so, or that it is beneficial from attempting to isolate memory.

Use the pageblock skip hint to avoid rescanning pageblocks needlessly
until that information is reset.

b24413180f 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.

baf6a9a1db mm, compaction: finish whole pageblock to reduce fragmentation
The main goal of direct compaction is to form a high-order page for
allocation, but it should also help against long-term fragmentation when
possible.

Most lower-than-pageblock-order compactions are for non-movable
allocations, which means that if we compact in a movable pageblock and
terminate as soon as we create the high-order page, it's unlikely that
the fallback heuristics will claim the whole block.  Instead there might
be a single unmovable page in a pageblock full of movable pages, and the
next unmovable allocation might pick another pageblock and increase
long-term fragmentation.

To help against such scenarios, this patch changes the termination
criteria for compaction so that the current pageblock is finished even
though the high-order page already exists.  Note that it might be
possible that the high-order page formed elsewhere in the zone due to
parallel activity, but this patch doesn't try to detect that.

This is only done with sync compaction, because async compaction is
limited to pageblock of the same migratetype, where it cannot result in
a migratetype fallback.  (Async compaction also eagerly skips
order-aligned blocks where isolation fails, which is against the goal of
migrating away as much of the pageblock as possible.)

As a result of this patch, long-term memory fragmentation should be
reduced.

In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests
configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced
the number of unmovable allocations falling back to movable pageblocks
by 20%.  The number

282722b0d2 mm, compaction: restrict async compaction to pageblocks of same migratetype
The migrate scanner in async compaction is currently limited to
MIGRATE_MOVABLE pageblocks.  This is a heuristic intended to reduce
latency, based on the assumption that non-MOVABLE pageblocks are
unlikely to contain movable pages.

However, with the exception of THP's, most high-order allocations are
not movable.  Should the async compaction succeed, this increases the
chance that the non-MOVABLE allocations will fallback to a MOVABLE
pageblock, making the long-term fragmentation worse.

This patch attempts to help the situation by changing async direct
compaction so that the migrate scanner only scans the pageblocks of the
requested migratetype.  If it's a non-MOVABLE type and there are such
pageblocks that do contain movable pages, chances are that the
allocation can succeed within one of such pageblocks, removing the need
for a fallback.  If that fails, the subsequent sync attempt will ignore
this restriction.

In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests
configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced
the number of unmovable allocations falling back to movable pageblocks
by 30%.  The number of movable allocations falling back is reduced by
12%.

228d7e3390 mm, compaction: remove redundant watermark check in compact_finished()
When detecting whether compaction has succeeded in forming a high-order
page, __compact_finished() employs a watermark check, followed by an own
search for a suitable page in the freelists.  This is not ideal for two
reasons:

 - The watermark check also searches high-order freelists, but has a
   less strict criteria wrt fallback. It's therefore redundant and waste
   of cycles. This was different in the past when high-order watermark
   check attempted to apply reserves to high-order pages.

 - The watermark check might actually fail due to lack of order-0 pages.
   Compaction can't help with that, so there's no point in continuing
   because of that. It's possible that high-order page still exists and
   it terminates.

This patch therefore removes the watermark check.  This should save some
cycles and terminate compaction sooner in some cases.

1ef36db2a9 mm/compaction: ignore block suitable after check large free page
By reviewing code, I find that if the migrate target is a large free
page and we ignore suitable, it may splite large target free page into
smaller block which is not good for defrag.  So move the ignore block
suitable after check large free page.

As Vlastimil pointed out in RFC version that this patch is just based on
logical analyses which might be better for future-proofing the function
and it is most likely won't have any visible effect right now, for
direct compaction shouldn't have to be called if there's a
>=pageblock_order page already available.

9e5bcd610f mm/migration: make isolate_movable_page() return int type
Patch series "HWPOISON: soft offlining for non-lru movable page", v6.

After Minchan's commit bda807d444 ("mm: migrate: support non-lru
movable page migration"), some type of non-lru page like zsmalloc and
virtio-balloon page also support migration.

Therefore, we can:

1) soft offlining no-lru movable pages, which means when memory
   corrected errors occur on a non-lru movable page, we can stop to use
   it by migrating data onto another page and disable the original
   (maybe half-broken) one.

2) enable memory hotplug for non-lru movable pages, i.e. we may offline
   blocks, which include such pages, by using non-lru page migration.

This patchset is heavily dependent on non-lru movable page migration.

This patch (of 4):

Change the return type of isolate_movable_page() from bool to int.  It
will return 0 when isolate movable page successfully, and return -EBUSY
when it isolates failed.

There is no functional change within this patch but prepare for later
patch.

46acef048a mm,compaction: serialize waitqueue_active() checks
Without a memory barrier, the following race can occur with a high-order
allocation:

wakeup_kcompactd(order == 1)  		     kcompactd()
  [L] waitqueue_active(kcompactd_wait)
						[S] prepare_to_wait_event(kcompactd_wait)
						[L] (kcompactd_max_order == 0)
  [S] kcompactd_max_order = order;		      schedule()

Where the waitqueue_active() check is speculatively re-ordered to before
setting the actual condition (max_order), not seeing the threads that's
going to block; making us miss a wakeup.  There are a couple of options
to fix this, including calling wq_has_sleepers() which adds a full
barrier, or unconditionally doing the wake_up_interruptible() and
serialize on the q->lock.  However, to make use of the control
dependency, we just need to add L->L guarantees.

While this bug is theoretical, there have been other offenders of the
lockless waitqueue_active() in the past -- this is also documented in
the call itself.

7f354a548d mm, compaction: add vmstats for kcompactd work
A "compact_daemon_wake" vmstat exists that represents the number of
times kcompactd has woken up.  This doesn't represent how much work it
actually did, though.

It's useful to understand how much compaction work is being done by
kcompactd versus other methods such as direct compaction and explicitly
triggered per-node (or system) compaction.

This adds two new vmstats: "compact_daemon_migrate_scanned" and
"compact_daemon_free_scanned" to represent the number of pages kcompactd
has scanned as part of its migration scanner and freeing scanner,
respectively.

These values are still accounted for in the general
"compact_migrate_scanned" and "compact_free_scanned" for compatibility.

It could be argued that explicitly triggered compaction could also be
tracked separately, and that could be added if others find it useful.

73e64c51af mm, compaction: allow compaction for GFP_NOFS requests
compaction has been disabled for GFP_NOFS and GFP_NOIO requests since
the direct compaction was introduced by commit 56de7263fc ("mm:
compaction: direct compact when a high-order allocation fails").  The
main reason is that the migration of page cache pages might recurse back
to fs/io layer and we could potentially deadlock.  This is overly
conservative because all the anonymous memory is migrateable in the
GFP_NOFS context just fine.  This might be a large portion of the memory
in many/most workkloads.

Remove the GFP_NOFS restriction and make sure that we skip all fs pages
(those with a mapping) while isolating pages to be migrated.  We cannot
consider clean fs pages because they might need a metadata update so
only isolate pages without any mapping for nofs requests.

The effect of this patch will be probably very limited in many/most
workloads because higher order GFP_NOFS requests are quite rare,
although different configurations might lead to very different results.
David Chinner has mentioned a heavy metadata workload with 64kB block
which to quote him:

: Unfortunately, there was an era of cargo cult configuration tweaks in the
: Ceph community that has resulted in a large number of production machines
: with XFS filesystems configured this way.  And a lot of them store large
: numbers of small files and run under significant sustained memory
: pressure.
:
: I slowly working towards getting rid of these high order allocations and
: replacing them with the equivalent number of single page allocations, but
: I haven't got that (complex) change working yet.

We can do the following to simulate that workload:
$ mkfs.xfs -f -n size=64k <dev>
$ mount <dev> /mnt/scratch
$ time ./fs_mark  -D  10000  -S0  -n  100000  -s  0  -L  32 \
        -d  /mnt/scratch/0  -d  /mnt/scratch/1 \
        -d  /mnt/scratch/2  -d  /mnt/scratch/3 \
        -d  /mnt/scratch/4  -d  /mnt/scratch/5 \
        -d  /mnt/scratch/6  -d  /mnt/scratch/7 \
        -d  /mnt/scratch/8  -d  /mnt/scratch/9 \
        -d  /mnt/scratch/10  -d  /mnt/scratch/11 \
        -d  /mnt/scratch/12  -d  /mnt/scratch/13 \
        -d  /mnt/scratch/14  -d  /mnt/scratch/15

and indeed is hammers the system with many high order GFP_NOFS requests as
per a simle tracepoint during the load:
$ echo '!(gfp_flags & 0x80) && (gfp_flags &0x400000)' > $TRACE_MNT/events/kmem/mm_page_alloc/filter
I am getting
5287609 order=0
     37 order=1
1594905 order=2
3048439 order=3

This suggests that the patch has helped even though there is not all that
much of anonymous memory as the workload mostly generates fs metadata.  I
assume the success rate would be higher with more anonymous memory which
should be the case in many workloads.

6afcf8ef0c mm, compaction: fix NR_ISOLATED_* stats for pfn based migration
Since commit bda807d444 ("mm: migrate: support non-lru movable page
migration") isolate_migratepages_block) can isolate !PageLRU pages which
would acct_isolated account as NR_ISOLATED_*.  Accounting these non-lru
pages NR_ISOLATED_{ANON,FILE} doesn't make any sense and it can misguide
heuristics based on those counters such as pgdat_reclaimable_pages resp.
too_many_isolated which would lead to unexpected stalls during the
direct reclaim without any good reason.  Note that
__alloc_contig_migrate_range can isolate a lot of pages at once.

On mobile devices such as 512M ram android Phone, it may use a big zram
swap.  In some cases zram(zsmalloc) uses too many non-lru but
migratedable pages, such as:

      MemTotal: 468148 kB
      Normal free:5620kB
      Free swap:4736kB
      Total swap:409596kB
      ZRAM: 164616kB(zsmalloc non-lru pages)
      active_anon:60700kB
      inactive_anon:60744kB
      active_file:34420kB
      inactive_file:37532kB

Fix this by only accounting lru pages to NR_ISOLATED_* in
isolate_migratepages_block right after they were isolated and we still
know they were on LRU.  Drop acct_isolated because it is called after
the fact and we've lost that information.  Batching per-cpu counter
doesn't make much improvement anyway.  Also make sure that we uncharge
only LRU pages when putting them back on the LRU in
putback_movable_pages resp.  when unmap_and_move migrates the page.

2031142028 mm, compaction: restrict fragindex to costly orders
Fragmentation index and the vm.extfrag_threshold sysctl is meant as a
heuristic to prevent excessive compaction for costly orders (i.e.  THP).
It's unlikely to make any difference for non-costly orders, especially
with the default threshold.  But we cannot afford any uncertainty for
the non-costly orders where the only alternative to successful
reclaim/compaction is OOM.  After the recent patches we are guaranteed
maximum effort without heuristics from compaction before deciding OOM,
and fragindex is the last remaining heuristic.  Therefore skip fragindex
altogether for non-costly orders.

cc5c9f098f mm, compaction: ignore fragindex from compaction_zonelist_suitable()
The compaction_zonelist_suitable() function tries to determine if
compaction will be able to proceed after sufficient reclaim, i.e.
whether there are enough reclaimable pages to provide enough order-0
freepages for compaction.

This addition of reclaimable pages to the free pages works well for the
order-0 watermark check, but in the fragmentation index check we only
consider truly free pages.  Thus we can get fragindex value close to 0
which indicates failure do to lack of memory, and wrongly decide that
compaction won't be suitable even after reclaim.

Instead of trying to somehow adjust fragindex for reclaimable pages,
let's just skip it from compaction_zonelist_suitable().

9f7e338793 mm, compaction: make full priority ignore pageblock suitability
Several people have reported premature OOMs for order-2 allocations
(stack) due to OOM rework in 4.7.  In the scenario (parallel kernel
build and dd writing to two drives) many pageblocks get marked as
Unmovable and compaction free scanner struggles to isolate free pages.
Joonsoo Kim pointed out that the free scanner skips pageblocks that are
not movable to prevent filling them and forcing non-movable allocations
to fallback to other pageblocks.  Such heuristic makes sense to help
prevent long-term fragmentation, but premature OOMs are relatively more
urgent problem.  As a compromise, this patch disables the heuristic only
for the ultimate compaction priority.

8348faf91f mm, compaction: require only min watermarks for non-costly orders
The __compaction_suitable() function checks the low watermark plus a
compact_gap() gap to decide if there's enough free memory to perform
compaction.  Then __isolate_free_page uses low watermark check to decide
if particular free page can be isolated.  In the latter case, using low
watermark is needlessly pessimistic, as the free page isolations are
only temporary.  For __compaction_suitable() the higher watermark makes
sense for high-order allocations where more freepages increase the
chance of success, and we can typically fail with some order-0 fallback
when the system is struggling to reach that watermark.  But for
low-order allocation, forming the page should not be that hard.  So
using low watermark here might just prevent compaction from even trying,
and eventually lead to OOM killer even if we are above min watermarks.

So after this patch, we use min watermark for non-costly orders in
__compaction_suitable(), and for all orders in __isolate_free_page().

984fdba6a3 mm, compaction: use proper alloc_flags in __compaction_suitable()
The __compaction_suitable() function checks the low watermark plus a
compact_gap() gap to decide if there's enough free memory to perform
compaction.  This check uses direct compactor's alloc_flags, but that's
wrong, since these flags are not applicable for freepage isolation.

For example, alloc_flags may indicate access to memory reserves, making
compaction proceed, and then fail watermark check during the isolation.

A similar problem exists for ALLOC_CMA, which may be part of
alloc_flags, but not during freepage isolation.  In this case however it
makes sense to use ALLOC_CMA both in __compaction_suitable() and
__isolate_free_page(), since there's actually nothing preventing the
freepage scanner to isolate from CMA pageblocks, with the assumption
that a page that could be migrated once by compaction can be migrated
also later by CMA allocation.  Thus we should count pages in CMA
pageblocks when considering compaction suitability and when isolating
freepages.

To sum up, this patch should remove some false positives from
__compaction_suitable(), and allow compaction to proceed when free pages
required for compaction reside in the CMA pageblocks.

f2b8228c5f mm, compaction: use correct watermark when checking compaction success
The __compact_finished() function uses low watermark in a check that has
to pass if the direct compaction is to finish and allocation should
succeed.  This is too pessimistic, as the allocation will typically use
min watermark.  It may happen that during compaction, we drop below the
low watermark (due to parallel activity), but still form the target
high-order page.  By checking against low watermark, we might needlessly
continue compaction.

Similarly, __compaction_suitable() uses low watermark in a check whether
allocation can succeed without compaction.  Again, this is unnecessarily
pessimistic.

After this patch, these check will use direct compactor's alloc_flags to
determine the watermark, which is effectively the min watermark.

a8e025e55b mm, compaction: add the ultimate direct compaction priority
During reclaim/compaction loop, it's desirable to get a final answer
from unsuccessful compaction so we can either fail the allocation or
invoke the OOM killer.  However, heuristics such as deferred compaction
or pageblock skip bits can cause compaction to skip parts or whole zones
and lead to premature OOM's, failures or excessive reclaim/compaction
retries.

To remedy this, we introduce a new direct compaction priority called
COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_FULL, which instructs direct compaction to:

 - ignore deferred compaction status for a zone
 - ignore pageblock skip hints
 - ignore cached scanner positions and scan the whole zone

The new priority should get eventually picked up by
should_compact_retry() and this should improve success rates for costly
allocations using __GFP_REPEAT, such as hugetlbfs allocations, and
reduce some corner-case OOM's for non-costly allocations.

7ceb009a22 mm, compaction: don't recheck watermarks after COMPACT_SUCCESS
Joonsoo has reminded me that in a later patch changing watermark checks
throughout compaction I forgot to update checks in
try_to_compact_pages() and compactd_do_work().  Closer inspection
however shows that they are redundant now in the success case, because
compact_zone() now reliably reports this with COMPACT_SUCCESS.  So
effectively the checks just repeat (a subset) of checks that have just
passed.  So instead of checking watermarks again, just test the return
value.

Note it's also possible that compaction would declare failure e.g.
because its find_suitable_fallback() is more strict than simple
watermark check, and then the watermark check we are removing would then
still succeed.  After this patch this is not possible and it's arguably
better, because for long-term fragmentation avoidance we should rather
try a different zone than allocate with the unsuitable fallback.  If
compaction of all zones fail and the allocation is important enough, it
will retry and succeed anyway.

Also remove the stray "bool success" variable from kcompactd_do_work().

cf378319d3 mm, compaction: rename COMPACT_PARTIAL to COMPACT_SUCCESS
COMPACT_PARTIAL has historically meant that compaction returned after
doing some work without fully compacting a zone.  It however didn't
distinguish if compaction terminated because it succeeded in creating
the requested high-order page.  This has changed recently and now we
only return COMPACT_PARTIAL when compaction thinks it succeeded, or the
high-order watermark check in compaction_suitable() passes and no
compaction needs to be done.

So at this point we can make the return value clearer by renaming it to
COMPACT_SUCCESS.  The next patch will remove some redundant tests for
success where compaction just returned COMPACT_SUCCESS.

06ed29989f mm, compaction: make whole_zone flag ignore cached scanner positions
Patch series "make direct compaction more deterministic")

This is mostly a followup to Michal's oom detection rework, which
highlighted the need for direct compaction to provide better feedback in
reclaim/compaction loop, so that it can reliably recognize when
compaction cannot make further progress, and allocation should invoke
OOM killer or fail.  We've discussed this at LSF/MM [1] where I proposed
expanding the async/sync migration mode used in compaction to more
general "priorities".  This patchset adds one new priority that just
overrides all the heuristics and makes compaction fully scan all zones.
I don't currently think that we need more fine-grained priorities, but
we'll see.  Other than that there's some smaller fixes and cleanups,
mainly related to the THP-specific hacks.

I've tested this with stress-highalloc in GFP_KERNEL order-4 and
THP-like order-9 scenarios.  There's some improvement for compaction
stats for the order-4, which is likely due to the better watermarks
handling.  In the previous version I reported mostly noise wrt
compaction stats, and decreased direct reclaim - now the reclaim is
without difference.  I believe this is due to the less aggressive
compaction priority increase in patch 6.

This patch (of 11):

A recent patch has added whole_zone flag that compaction sets when
scanning starts from the zone boundary, in order to report that zone has
been fully scanned in one attempt.  For allocations that want to try
really hard or cannot fail, we will want to introduce a mode where
scanning whole zone is guaranteed regardless of the cached positions.

This patch reuses the whole_zone flag in a way that if it's already
passed true to compaction, the cached scanner positions are ignored.
Employing this flag during reclaim/compaction loop will be done in the
next patch.  This patch however converts compaction invoked from
userspace via procfs to use this flag.  Before this patch, the cached
positions were first reset to zone boundaries and then read back from
struct zone, so there was a window where a parallel compaction could
replace the reset values, making the manual compaction less effective.
Using the flag instead of performing reset is more robust.

c3486f5376 mm, compaction: simplify contended compaction handling
Async compaction detects contention either due to failing trylock on
zone->lock or lru_lock, or by need_resched().  Since 1f9efdef4f ("mm,
compaction: khugepaged should not give up due to need_resched()") the
code got quite complicated to distinguish these two up to the
__alloc_pages_slowpath() level, so different decisions could be taken
for khugepaged allocations.

After the recent changes, khugepaged allocations don't check for
contended compaction anymore, so we again don't need to distinguish lock
and sched contention, and simplify the current convoluted code a lot.

However, I believe it's also possible to simplify even more and
completely remove the check for contended compaction after the initial
async compaction for costly orders, which was originally aimed at THP
page fault allocations.  There are several reasons why this can be done
now:

- with the new defaults, THP page faults no longer do reclaim/compaction at
  all, unless the system admin has overridden the default, or application has
  indicated via madvise that it can benefit from THP's. In both cases, it
  means that the potential extra latency is expected and worth the benefits.
- even if reclaim/compaction proceeds after this patch where it previously
  wouldn't, the second compaction attempt is still async and will detect the
  contention and back off, if the contention persists
- there are still heuristics like deferred compaction and pageblock skip bits
  in place that prevent excessive THP page fault latencies

a5508cd83f 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.

not what we usually expect, so probably better not to isolate it.

When tested by stress-highalloc from mmtests, this has reduced the

approximating whether reclaim and compaction should retry based on pgdat

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.

logic, compaction retry logic and highmem calculations all depending on
per-zone stats.

Many lowmem allocations are immune from OOM kill due to a check in
__alloc_pages_may_oom for (ac->high_zoneidx < ZONE_NORMAL) since commit
03668b3ceb ("oom: avoid oom killer for lowmem allocations").  The
exception is costly high-order allocations or allocations that cannot
fail.  If the __alloc_pages_may_oom avoids OOM-kill for low-order lowmem
allocations then it would fall through to __alloc_pages_direct_compact.

This patch will blindly retry reclaim for zone-constrained allocations
in should_reclaim_retry up to MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES.  This is not ideal
but without per-zone stats there are not many alternatives.  The impact
it that zone-constrained allocations may delay before considering the
OOM killer.

As there is no guarantee enough memory can ever be freed to satisfy
compaction, this patch avoids retrying compaction for zone-contrained
allocations.

In combination, that means that the per-node stats can be used when
deciding whether to continue reclaim using a rough approximation.  While
it is possible this will make the wrong decision on occasion, it will
not infinite loop as the number of reclaim attempts is capped by
MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES.

The final step is calculating the number of dirtyable highmem pages.  As
those calculations only care about the global count of file pages in
highmem.  This patch uses a global counter used instead of per-zone
stats as it is sufficient.

In combination, this allows the per-zone LRU and dirty state counters to
be removed.

599d0c954f 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.

a52633d8e9 mm, vmscan: move lru_lock to the node
Node-based reclaim requires node-based LRUs and locking.  This is a
preparation patch that just moves the lru_lock to the node so later
patches are easier to review.  It is a mechanical change but note this
patch makes contention worse because the LRU lock is hotter and direct
reclaim and kswapd can contend on the same lock even when reclaiming
from different zones.

46f24fd857 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.

83358ece26 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.

3783689a1a zsmalloc: introduce zspage structure
We have squeezed meta data of zspage into first page's descriptor.  So,
to get meta data from subpage, we should get first page first of all.
But it makes trouble to implment page migration feature of zsmalloc
because any place where to get first page from subpage can be raced with
first page migration.  IOW, first page it got could be stale.  For
preventing it, I have tried several approahces but it made code
complicated so finally, I concluded to separate metadata from first
page.  Of course, it consumes more memory.  IOW, 16bytes per zspage on
32bit at the moment.  It means we lost 1% at *worst case*(40B/4096B)
which is not bad I think at the cost of maintenance.
