In commit fd4a7ac329 ("mm: migrate: try again if THP split is failed due
to page refcnt"), if the THP splitting fails due to page reference count,
we will retry to improve migration successful rate. But the failed
splitting is counted as migration failure and migration retry, which will
cause duplicated failure counting. So, in this patch, this is fixed via
undoing the failure counting if we decide to retry. The patch is tested
via failure injection.

When we try to unshare a pinned page for a private hugetlb, uffd-wp bit
can get lost during unsharing.
When above condition met, one can lose uffd-wp bit on the privately mapped
hugetlb page. It allows the page to be writable even if it should still be
wr-protected. I assume it can mean data loss.
This should be very rare, only if an unsharing happened on a private
hugetlb page with uffd-wp protected (e.g. in a child which shares the
same page with parent with UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_FORK enabled).
When I wrote the reproducer (provided in the last patch) I needed to
use the newest gup_test cmd introduced by David to trigger it because I
don't even know another way to do a proper RO longerm pin.
Besides that, it needs a bunch of other conditions all met:
(1) hugetlb being mapped privately,
(2) userfaultfd registered with WP and EVENT_FORK,
(3) the user app fork()s, then,
(4) RO longterm pin onto a wr-protected anonymous page.
If it's not impossible to hit in production I'd say extremely rare.

Patch series "mm/hugetlb: More fixes around uffd-wp vs fork() / RO pins",
v2.
This patch (of 6):
There're a bunch of things that were wrong:
- Reading uffd-wp bit from a swap entry should use pte_swp_uffd_wp()
rather than huge_pte_uffd_wp().
- When copying over a pte, we should drop uffd-wp bit when
!EVENT_FORK (aka, when !userfaultfd_wp(dst_vma)).
- When doing early CoW for private hugetlb (e.g. when the parent page was
pinned), uffd-wp bit should be properly carried over if necessary.
No bug reported probably because most people do not even care about these
corner cases, but they are still bugs and can be exposed by the recent unit
tests introduced, so fix all of them in one shot.

hwpoison_user_mappings() is updated to support ksm pages, and add
collect_procs_ksm() to collect processes when the error hit an ksm page.
The difference from collect_procs_anon() is that it also needs to traverse
the rmap-item list on the stable node of the ksm page. At the same time,
add_to_kill_ksm() is added to handle ksm pages. And
task_in_to_kill_list() is added to avoid duplicate addition of tsk to the
to_kill list. This is because when scanning the list, if the pages that
make up the ksm page all come from the same process, they may be added
repeatedly.

Patch series "mm: ksm: support hwpoison for ksm page", v2.
Currently, ksm does not support hwpoison. As ksm is being used more
widely for deduplication at the system level, container level, and process
level, supporting hwpoison for ksm has become increasingly important.
However, ksm pages were not processed by hwpoison in 2009 [1].
The main method of implementation:
1. Refactor add_to_kill() and add new add_to_kill_*() to better
accommodate the handling of different types of pages.
2. Add collect_procs_ksm() to collect processes when the error hit an
ksm page.
3. Add task_in_to_kill_list() to avoid duplicate addition of tsk to
the to_kill list.
4. Try_to_unmap ksm page (already supported).
5. Handle related processes such as sending SIGBUS.
Tested with poisoning to ksm page from
1) different process
2) one process
and with/without memory_failure_early_kill set, the processes are killed
as expected with the patchset.

to pass it, also rename the function to __add_to_kill(), and adding
add_to_kill_anon_file() for handling anonymous pages and file pages,
adding add_to_kill_fsdax() for handling fsdax pages.

Android 14 and later default to MGLRU [1] and field telemetry showed
occasional long tail latency (>100ms) in the reclaim path.
Tracing revealed priority inversion in the reclaim path. In
try_to_inc_max_seq(), when high priority tasks were blocked on
wait_event_killable(), the preemption of the low priority task to call
wake_up_all() caused those high priority tasks to wait longer than
necessary. In general, this problem is not different from others of its
kind, e.g., one caused by mutex_lock(). However, it is specific to MGLRU
because it introduced the new wait queue lruvec->mm_state.wait.
The purpose of this new wait queue is to avoid the thundering herd
problem. If many direct reclaimers rush into try_to_inc_max_seq(), only
one can succeed, i.e., the one to wake up the rest, and the rest who
failed might cause premature OOM kills if they do not wait. So far there
is no evidence supporting this scenario, based on how often the wait has
been hit. And this begs the question how useful the wait queue is in
practice.
Based on Minchan's recommendation, which is in line with his commit
6d4675e601 ("mm: don't be stuck to rmap lock on reclaim path") and the
rest of the MGLRU code which also uses trylock when possible, remove the
wait queue.

During reclaim, we keep track of pages reclaimed from other means than
LRU-based reclaim through scan_control->reclaim_state->reclaimed_slab,
which we stash a pointer to in current task_struct.
However, we keep track of more than just reclaimed slab pages through
this. We also use it for clean file pages dropped through pruned inodes,
and xfs buffer pages freed. Rename reclaimed_slab to reclaimed, and add a
helper function that wraps updating it through current, so that future
changes to this logic are contained within include/linux/swap.h.

Patch series "Ignore non-LRU-based reclaim in memcg reclaim", v6.
Upon running some proactive reclaim tests using memory.reclaim, we noticed
some tests flaking where writing to memory.reclaim would be successful
even though we did not reclaim the requested amount fully Looking further
into it, I discovered that *sometimes* we overestimate the number of
reclaimed pages in memcg reclaim.
Reclaimed pages through other means than LRU-based reclaim are tracked
through reclaim_state in struct scan_control, which is stashed in current
task_struct. These pages are added to the number of reclaimed pages
through LRUs. For memcg reclaim, these pages generally cannot be linked
to the memcg under reclaim and can cause an overestimated count of
reclaimed pages. This short series tries to address that.
Patch 1 ignores pages reclaimed outside of LRU reclaim in memcg reclaim.
The pages are uncharged anyway, so even if we end up under-reporting
reclaimed pages we will still succeed in making progress during charging.
Patches 2-3 are just refactoring. Patch 2 moves set_reclaim_state()
helper next to flush_reclaim_state(). Patch 3 adds a helper that wraps
updating current->reclaim_state, and renames reclaim_state->reclaimed_slab
to reclaim_state->reclaimed.
This patch (of 3):
We keep track of different types of reclaimed pages through
reclaim_state->reclaimed_slab, and we add them to the reported number of
reclaimed pages. For non-memcg reclaim, this makes sense. For memcg
reclaim, we have no clue if those pages are charged to the memcg under
reclaim.
Slab pages are shared by different memcgs, so a freed slab page may have
only been partially charged to the memcg under reclaim. The same goes for
clean file pages from pruned inodes (on highmem systems) or xfs buffer
pages, there is no simple way to currently link them to the memcg under
reclaim.
Stop reporting those freed pages as reclaimed pages during memcg reclaim.
This should make the return value of writing to memory.reclaim, and may
help reduce unnecessary reclaim retries during memcg charging. Writing to
memory.reclaim on the root memcg is considered as cgroup_reclaim(), but
for this case we want to include any freed pages, so use the
global_reclaim() check instead of !cgroup_reclaim().
Generally, this should make the return value of
try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages() more accurate. In some limited cases (e.g.
freed a slab page that was mostly charged to the memcg under reclaim),
the return value of try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages() can be underestimated,
but this should be fine. The freed pages will be uncharged anyway, and we
can charge the memcg the next time around as we usually do memcg reclaim
in a retry loop.

copy-on-write of hugetlb user pages with uncorrectable errors will result
in a kernel crash. This is because the copy is performed in kernel mode
and in general we can not handle accessing memory with such errors while
in kernel mode. Commit a873dfe103 ("mm, hwpoison: try to recover from
copy-on write faults") introduced the routine copy_user_highpage_mc() to
gracefully handle copying of user pages with uncorrectable errors.
However, the separate hugetlb copy-on-write code paths were not modified
as part of commit a873dfe103.
Modify hugetlb copy-on-write code paths to use copy_mc_user_highpage() so
that they can also gracefully handle uncorrectable errors in user pages.
This involves changing the hugetlb specific routine
copy_user_large_folio() from type void to int so that it can return an
error. Modify the hugetlb userfaultfd code in the same way so that it can
return -EHWPOISON if it encounters an uncorrectable error.

In a kernel with added WARN_ON_ONCE(PageTail) in page_memcg_check(), we
observed a warning from page_cgroup_ino() when reading /proc/kpagecgroup.
This warning was added to catch fragile reads of a page memcg. Make
page_cgroup_ino() get memcg from the page's folio using
folio_memcg_check(): that gives it the correct memcg for each page of a
folio, so is the right fix.
Note that page_folio() is racy, the page's folio can change from under us,
but the entire function is racy and documented as such.
I dithered between the right fix and the safer "fix": it's unlikely but
conceivable that some userspace has learnt that /proc/kpagecgroup gives no
memcg on tail pages, and compensates for that in some (racy) way: so
continuing to give no memcg on tails, without warning, might be safer.
But hwpoison_filter_task(), the only other user of page_cgroup_ino(),
persuaded me. It looks as if it currently leaves out tail pages of the
selected memcg, by mistake: whereas hwpoison_inject() uses compound_head()
and expects the tails to be included. So hwpoison testing coverage has
probably been restricted by the wrong output from page_cgroup_ino() (if
that memcg filter is used at all): in the short term, it might be safer
not to enable wider coverage there, but long term we would regret that.
This is based on a patch originally written by Hugh Dickins and retains
most of the original commit log [1]
The patch was changed to use folio_memcg_check(page_folio(page)) instead
of page_memcg_check(compound_head(page)) based on discussions with Matthew
Wilcox; where he stated that callers of page_memcg_check() should stop
using it due to the ambiguity around tail pages -- instead they should use
folio_memcg_check() and handle tail pages themselves.

No need to call maybe_mkwrite() to then wrprotect if the source PMD was not
writable.
It's worth nothing that this now allows for PTEs to be writable even if
the source PMD was not writable: if vma->vm_page_prot includes write
permissions.
As documented in commit 931298e103 ("mm/userfaultfd: rely on
vma->vm_page_prot in uffd_wp_range()"), any mechanism that intends to
have pages wrprotected (COW, writenotify, mprotect, uffd-wp, softdirty,
...) has to properly adjust vma->vm_page_prot upfront, to not include
write permissions. If vma->vm_page_prot includes write permissions, the
PTE/PMD can be writable as default.
This now mimics the handling in mm/migrate.c:remove_migration_pte() and in
mm/huge_memory.c:remove_migration_pmd(), which has been in place for a
long time (except that 96a9c287e2 ("mm/migrate: fix wrongly apply write

Commit 700d2e9a36 ("mm, page_alloc: reduce page alloc/free sanity

when struct pages are sanity checked during allocation and freeing. Mel
Gorman suggested that free_tail_pages_check() could use this static key as
well, instead of relying on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM. That makes sense, so do
that. Also rename the function to free_tail_page_prepare() because it
works on a single tail page and has a struct page preparation component as
well as the optional checking component.
Also remove some unnecessary unlikely() within static_branch_unlikely()
statements that Mel pointed out for commit 700d2e9a36.

If we end up with a writable migration entry that has the uffd-wp bit set,
we already messed up: the source PTE/PMD was writable, which means we
could have modified the page without notifying uffd first. Setting the
uffd-wp bit always implies converting migration entries to !writable
migration entries.
Commit 8f34f1eac3 ("mm/userfaultfd: fix uffd-wp special cases for
fork()") documents that "3. Forget to carry over uffd-wp bit for a write
migration huge pmd entry", but it doesn't really say why that should be
relevant.
So let's remove that code to avoid hiding an eventual underlying issue (in
the future, we might want to warn when creating writable migration entries
that have the uffd-wp bit set -- or even better when turning a PTE
writable that still has the uffd-wp bit set).
This now matches the handling for hugetlb migration entries in
hugetlb_change_protection().
In copy_huge_pmd()/copy_nonpresent_pte()/copy_hugetlb_page_range(), we
still transfer the uffd-bit also for writable migration entries, but
simply because we have unified handling for "writable" and
"readable-exclusive" migration entries, and we care about transferring the
uffd-wp bit for the latter.

cgroups v1 has a unique way of setting up memory pressure notifications:
the user opens "memory.pressure_level" of the cgroup they want to monitor
for pressure, then open "cgroup.event_control" and write the fd (among
other things) to that file. memory.pressure_level has no other use,
specifically it does not support any read or write operations.
Consequently, no handlers are provided, and cgroup_file_mode() sets the
permissions to 000. However, to actually use the mechanism, the
subscribing user must have read access to the file and open the fd for
reading, see memcg_write_event_control().
This is all fine as long as the subscribing process runs as root and is
otherwise unconfined by further restrictions. However, if you add strict
access controls such as selinux, the permission bits will be enforced, and
opening memory.pressure_level for reading will fail, preventing the
process from subscribing, even as root.
To work around this issue, introduce a dummy read handler. When
memory.pressure_level is created, cgroup_file_mode() will notice the
existence of a handler, and therefore add read permissions to the file.

Make sure that collapse_file doesn't interfere with checking the uptodate
flag in the page cache by only inserting hpage into the page cache after
it has been updated and marked uptodate. This is achieved by simply not
replacing present pages with hpage when iterating over the target range.
The present pages are already locked, so replacing them with the locked
hpage before the collapse is finalized is unnecessary. However, it is
necessary to stop freezing the present pages after validating them, since
leaving long-term frozen pages in the page cache can lead to deadlocks.
Simply checking the reference count is sufficient to ensure that there are
no long-term references hanging around that would the collapse would
break. Similar to hpage, there is no reason that the present pages
actually need to be frozen in addition to being locked.
This fixes a race where folio_seek_hole_data would mistake hpage for an
fallocated but unwritten page. This race is visible to userspace via data
temporarily disappearing from SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE. This also fixes a
similar race where pages could temporarily disappear from mincore.

Make sure that collapse_file respects any userfaultfds registered with
MODE_MISSING. If userspace has any such userfaultfds registered, then for
any page which it knows to be missing, it may expect a
UFFD_EVENT_PAGEFAULT. This means collapse_file needs to be careful when
collapsing a shmem range would result in replacing an empty page with a
THP, to avoid breaking userfaultfd.
Synchronization when checking for userfaultfds in collapse_file is tricky
because the mmap locks can't be used to prevent races with the
registration of new userfaultfds. Instead, we provide synchronization by
ensuring that userspace cannot observe the fact that pages are missing
before we check for userfaultfds. Although this allows registration of a
userfaultfd to race with collapse_file, it ensures that userspace cannot
observe any pages transition from missing to present after such a race
occurs. This makes such a race indistinguishable to the collapse
occurring immediately before the userfaultfd registration.
The first step to provide this synchronization is to stop filling gaps
during the loop iterating over the target range, since the page cache lock
can be dropped during that loop. The second step is to fill the gaps with
XA_RETRY_ENTRY after the page cache lock is acquired the final time, to
avoid races with accesses to the page cache that only take the RCU read
lock.
The fact that we don't fill holes during the initial iteration means that
collapse_file now has to handle faults occurring during the collapse.
This is done by re-validating the number of missing pages after acquiring
the page cache lock for the final time.
This fix is targeted at khugepaged, but the change also applies to
MADV_COLLAPSE. MADV_COLLAPSE on a range with a userfaultfd will now
return EBUSY if there are any missing pages (instead of succeeding on
shmem and returning EINVAL on anonymous memory). There is also now a
window during MADV_COLLAPSE where a fault on a missing page will cause the
syscall to fail with EAGAIN.
The fact that intermediate page cache state can no longer be observed
before the rollback of a failed collapse is also technically a
userspace-visible change (via at least SEEK_DATA and SEEK_END), but it is
exceedingly unlikely that anything relies on being able to observe that
transient state.

Patch series "mm/khugepaged: fixes for khugepaged+shmem", v6.
This series reworks collapse_file so that the intermediate state of the
collapse does not leak out of collapse_file. Although this makes
collapse_file a bit more complicated, it means that the rest of the
kernel doesn't have to deal with the unusual state. This directly fixes
races with both lseek and mincore.
This series also fixes the fact that khugepaged completely breaks
userfaultfd+shmem. The rework of collapse_file provides a convenient
place to check for registered userfaultfds without making the shmem
userfaultfd implementation care about khugepaged.
Finally, this series adds a lru_add_drain after swapping in shmem pages,
which makes the subsequent folio_isolate_lru significantly more likely to
succeed.
This patch (of 4):
Call lru_add_drain after swapping in shmem pages so that isolate_lru_page
is more likely to succeed.

Make collapse_file roll back when copying pages failed. More concretely:
- extract copying operations into a separate loop
- postpone the updates for nr_none until both scanning and copying
succeeded
- postpone joining small xarray entries until both scanning and copying
succeeded
- postpone the update operations to NR_XXX_THPS until both scanning and
copying succeeded
- for non-SHMEM file, roll back filemap_nr_thps_inc if scan succeeded but
copying failed
Tested manually:
0. Enable khugepaged on system under test. Mount tmpfs at /mnt/ramdisk.
1. Start a two-thread application. Each thread allocates a chunk of
non-huge memory buffer from /mnt/ramdisk.
2. Pick 4 random buffer address (2 in each thread) and inject
uncorrectable memory errors at physical addresses.
3. Signal both threads to make their memory buffer collapsible, i.e.
calling madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE).
4. Wait and then check kernel log: khugepaged is able to recover from
poisoned pages by skipping them.
5. Signal both threads to inspect their buffer contents and make sure no
data corruption.

Problem
=======
Memory DIMMs are subject to multi-bit flips, i.e. memory errors. As
memory size and density increase, the chances of and number of memory
errors increase. The increasing size and density of server RAM in the
data center and cloud have shown increased uncorrectable memory errors.
There are already mechanisms in the kernel to recover from uncorrectable
memory errors. This series of patches provides the recovery mechanism for
the particular kernel agent khugepaged when it collapses memory pages.
Impact
======
The main reason we chose to make khugepaged collapsing tolerant of memory
failures was its high possibility of accessing poisoned memory while
performing functionally optional compaction actions. Standard
applications typically don't have strict requirements on the size of its
pages. So they are given 4K pages by the kernel. The kernel is able to
improve application performance by either
1) giving applications 2M pages to begin with, or
2) collapsing 4K pages into 2M pages when possible.
This collapsing operation is done by khugepaged, a kernel agent that is
constantly scanning memory. When collapsing 4K pages into a 2M page, it
must copy the data from the 4K pages into a physically contiguous 2M page.
Therefore, as long as there exists one poisoned cache line in collapsible
4K pages, khugepaged will eventually access it. The current impact to
users is a machine check exception triggered kernel panic. However,
khugepaged’s compaction operations are not functionally required kernel
actions. Therefore making khugepaged tolerant to poisoned memory will
greatly improve user experience.
This patch series is for cases where khugepaged is the first guy that
detects the memory errors on the poisoned pages. IOW, the pages are not
known to have memory errors when khugepaged collapsing gets to them. In
our observation, this happens frequently when the huge page ratio of the
system is relatively low, which is fairly common in virtual machines
running on cloud.
Solution
========
As stated before, it is less desirable to crash the system only because
khugepaged accesses poisoned pages while it is collapsing 4K pages. The
high level idea of this patch series is to skip the group of pages
(usually 512 4K-size pages) once khugepaged finds one of them is poisoned,
as these pages have become ineligible to be collapsed.
We are also careful to unwind operations khuagepaged has performed before
it detects memory failures. For example, before copying and collapsing a
group of anonymous pages into a huge page, the source pages will be
isolated and their page table is unlinked from their PMD. These
operations need to be undone in order to ensure these pages are not
changed/lost from the perspective of other threads (both user and kernel
space). As for file backed memory pages, there already exists a rollback
case. This patch just extends it so that khugepaged also correctly rolls
back when it fails to copy poisoned 4K pages.
This patch (of 3):
Make __collapse_huge_page_copy return whether copying anonymous pages
succeeded, and make collapse_huge_page handle the return status.
Break existing PTE scan loop into two for-loops. The first loop copies
source pages into target huge page, and can fail gracefully when running
into memory errors in source pages. If copying all pages succeeds, the
second loop releases and clears up these normal pages. Otherwise, the
second loop rolls back the page table and page states by:
- re-establishing the original PTEs-to-PMD connection.
- releasing source pages back to their LRU list.
Tested manually:
0. Enable khugepaged on system under test.
1. Start a two-thread application. Each thread allocates a chunk of
non-huge anonymous memory buffer.
2. Pick 4 random buffer locations (2 in each thread) and inject
uncorrectable memory errors at corresponding physical addresses.
3. Signal both threads to make their memory buffer collapsible, i.e.
calling madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE).
4. Wait and check kernel log: khugepaged is able to recover from poisoned
pages and skips collapsing them.
5. Signal both threads to inspect their buffer contents and make sure no
data corruption.

In some situations, we may end up calling memcg_rstat_updated() with a
value of 0, which means the stat was not actually updated. An example is
if we fail to reclaim any pages in shrink_folio_list().
Do not add the cgroup to the rstat updated tree in this case, to avoid
unnecessarily flushing it.

Memory reclaim is a sleepable context. Flushing is an expensive operaiton
that scales with the number of cpus and the number of cgroups in the
system, so avoid doing it atomically unnecessarily. This can slow down
reclaim code if flushing stats is taking too long, but there is already
multiple cond_resched()'s in reclaim code.

In workingset_refault(), we call
mem_cgroup_flush_stats_atomic_ratelimited() to read accurate stats within
an RCU read section and with sleeping disallowed. Move the call above the
RCU read section to make it non-atomic.
Flushing is an expensive operation that scales with the number of cpus and
the number of cgroups in the system, so avoid doing it atomically where
possible.
Since workingset_refault() is the only caller of
mem_cgroup_flush_stats_atomic_ratelimited(), just make it non-atomic, and
rename it to mem_cgroup_flush_stats_ratelimited().

Currently, all contexts that flush memcg stats do so with sleeping not
allowed. Some of these contexts are perfectly safe to sleep in, such as
reading cgroup files from userspace or the background periodic flusher.
Flushing is an expensive operation that scales with the number of cpus and
the number of cgroups in the system, so avoid doing it atomically where
possible.
Refactor the code to make mem_cgroup_flush_stats() non-atomic (aka
sleepable), and provide a separate atomic version. The atomic version is
used in reclaim, refault, writeback, and in mem_cgroup_usage(). All other
code paths are left to use the non-atomic version. This includes
callbacks for userspace reads and the periodic flusher.
Since refault is the only caller of mem_cgroup_flush_stats_ratelimited(),
change it to mem_cgroup_flush_stats_atomic_ratelimited(). Reclaim and
refault code paths are modified to do non-atomic flushing in separate
later patches -- so it will eventually be changed back to
mem_cgroup_flush_stats_ratelimited().

As Johannes notes in [1], stats_flush_lock is currently used to:
(a) Protect updated to stats_flush_threshold.
(b) Protect updates to flush_next_time.
(c) Serializes calls to cgroup_rstat_flush() based on those ratelimits.
However:
1. stats_flush_threshold is already an atomic
2. flush_next_time is not atomic. The writer is locked, but the reader
is lockless. If the reader races with a flush, you could see this:
if (time_after(jiffies, flush_next_time))
spin_trylock()
flush_next_time = now + delay
flush()
spin_unlock()
spin_trylock()
flush_next_time = now + delay
flush()
spin_unlock()
which means we already can get flushes at a higher frequency than
FLUSH_TIME during races. But it isn't really a problem.
The reader could also see garbled partial updates if the compiler
decides to split the write, so it needs at least READ_ONCE and
WRITE_ONCE protection.
3. Serializing cgroup_rstat_flush() calls against the ratelimit
factors is currently broken because of the race in 2. But the race
is actually harmless, all we might get is the occasional earlier
flush. If there is no delta, the flush won't do much. And if there
is, the flush is justified.
So the lock can be removed all together. However, the lock also served
the purpose of preventing a thundering herd problem for concurrent
flushers, see [2]. Use an atomic instead to serve the purpose of
unifying concurrent flushers.

Currently, the only context in which we can invoke an rstat flush from irq
context is through mem_cgroup_usage() on the root memcg when called from
memcg_check_events(). An rstat flush is an expensive operation that
should not be done in irq context, so do not flush stats and use the stale
stats in this case.
Arguably, usage threshold events are not reliable on the root memcg anyway
since its usage is ill-defined.

mem_cgroup_flush_stats_delayed() suggests his is using a delayed_work, but
this is actually sometimes flushing directly from the callsite.
What it's doing is ratelimited calls. A better name would be
mem_cgroup_flush_stats_ratelimited().

Patch series "memcg: avoid flushing stats atomically where possible", v3.
rstat flushing is an expensive operation that scales with the number of
cpus and the number of cgroups in the system. The purpose of this series
is to minimize the contexts where we flush stats atomically.
Patches 1 and 2 are cleanups requested during reviews of prior versions of
this series.
Patch 3 makes sure we never try to flush from within an irq context.
Patches 4 to 7 introduce separate variants of mem_cgroup_flush_stats() for
atomic and non-atomic flushing, and make sure we only flush the stats
atomically when necessary.
Patch 8 is a slightly tangential optimization that limits the work done by
rstat flushing in some scenarios.
This patch (of 8):
cgroup_rstat_flush_irqsafe() can be a confusing name. It may read as
"irqs are disabled throughout", which is what the current implementation
does (currently under discussion [1]), but is not the intention. The
intention is that this function is safe to call from atomic contexts.
Name it as such.
