tools/vm/page-types.c: move show_file() to summary output

tools/vm/page-types.c: make walk_file() aware of address range option
Patch series "tools/vm/page-types.c: a few improvements". This patchset adds some improvements on tools/vm/page-types.c. Patch 1/3 makes -a option (specify address range) work with -f (file cache mode). Patch 2/3 and 3/3 are to fix minor formatting issues of this tool. These would make life a little easier for the users of this tool. Please see individual patches for more details about specific issues. This patch (of 3): -a|--addr option is used to limit the range of address to be scanned for page status. It works now for physical address space (dafult mode) or for virtual address space (with -p option), but not for file address space (with -f option). So make walk_file() aware of -a option.

tools/vm/page_owner_sort.c: count and sort by mem
When viewing page owner information, we may be more concerned about the total memory rather than the times of stack appears. Therefore, the following adjustments are made: 1. Added the statistics on the total number of pages. 2. Added the optional parameter "-m" to configure the program to sort by memory (total pages). The general output of page_owner is as follows: Page allocated via order XXX, ... PFN XXX ... // Detailed stack Page allocated via order XXX, ... PFN XXX ... // Detailed stack The original page_owner_sort ignores PFN rows, puts the remaining rows in buf, counts the times of buf, and finally sorts them according to the times. General output: XXX times: Page allocated via order XXX, ... // Detailed stack Now, we use regexp to extract the page order value from the buf, and count the total pages for the buf. General output: XXX times, XXX pages: Page allocated via order XXX, ... // Detailed stack By default, it is still sorted by the times of buf; If you want to sort by the pages nums of buf, use the new -m parameter.

mm/vmscan: delay waking of tasks throttled on NOPROGRESS

All the throttling hit the full timeout and then there was wakeup delays
meaning that the wakeups are premature as no other reclaimer such as
kswapd has made progress. This patch increases the maximum timeout.

mm/vmscan: centralise timeout values for reclaim_throttle
Neil Brown raised concerns about callers of reclaim_throttle specifying a timeout value. The original timeout values to congestion_wait() were probably pulled out of thin air or copy&pasted from somewhere else. This patch centralises the timeout values and selects a timeout based on the reason for reclaim throttling. These figures are also pulled out of the same thin air but better values may be derived Running a workload that is throttling for inappropriate periods and tracing mm_vmscan_throttled can be used to pick a more appropriate value. Excessive throttling would pick a lower timeout where as excessive CPU usage in reclaim context would select a larger timeout. Ideally a large value would always be used and the wakeups would occur before a timeout but that requires careful testing.

mm/page_alloc: remove the throttling logic from the page allocator
The page allocator stalls based on the number of pages that are waiting for writeback to start but this should now be redundant. shrink_inactive_list() will wake flusher threads if the LRU tail are unqueued dirty pages so the flusher should be active. If it fails to make progress due to pages under writeback not being completed quickly then it should stall on VMSCAN_THROTTLE_WRITEBACK.

mm/writeback: throttle based on page writeback instead of congestion
do_writepages throttles on congestion if the writepages() fails due to a lack of memory but congestion_wait() is partially broken as the congestion state is not updated for all BDIs. This patch stalls waiting for a number of pages to complete writeback that located on the local node. The main weakness is that there is no correlation between the location of the inode's pages and locality but that is still better than congestion_wait.

mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim when no progress is being made
Memcg reclaim throttles on congestion if no reclaim progress is made. This makes little sense, it might be due to writeback or a host of other factors. For !memcg reclaim, it's messy. Direct reclaim primarily is throttled in the page allocator if it is failing to make progress. Kswapd throttles if too many pages are under writeback and marked for immediate reclaim. This patch explicitly throttles if reclaim is failing to make progress.

mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim and compaction when too may pages are isolated
Page reclaim throttles on congestion if too many parallel reclaim instances have isolated too many pages. This makes no sense, excessive parallelisation has nothing to do with writeback or congestion. This patch creates an additional workqueue to sleep on when too many pages are isolated. The throttled tasks are woken when the number of isolated pages is reduced or a timeout occurs. There may be some false positive wakeups for GFP_NOIO/GFP_NOFS callers but the tasks will throttle again if necessary.

mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim until some writeback completes if congested
Patch series "Remove dependency on congestion_wait in mm/", v5.
This series that removes all calls to congestion_wait in mm/ and deletes
wait_iff_congested. It's not a clever implementation but
congestion_wait has been broken for a long time [1].
Even if congestion throttling worked, it was never a great idea. While
excessive dirty/writeback pages at the tail of the LRU is one
possibility that reclaim may be slow, there is also the problem of too
many pages being isolated and reclaim failing for other reasons
(elevated references, too many pages isolated, excessive LRU contention
etc).
This series replaces the "congestion" throttling with 3 different types.
- If there are too many dirty/writeback pages, sleep until a timeout or
enough pages get cleaned
- If too many pages are isolated, sleep until enough isolated pages are
either reclaimed or put back on the LRU
- If no progress is being made, direct reclaim tasks sleep until
another task makes progress with acceptable efficiency.
This was initially tested with a mix of workloads that used to trigger
corner cases that no longer work. A new test case was created called
"stutterp" (pagereclaim-stutterp-noreaders in mmtests) using a freshly
created XFS filesystem. Note that it may be necessary to increase the
timeout of ssh if executing remotely as ssh itself can get throttled and
the connection may timeout.
stutterp varies the number of "worker" processes from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4
to check the impact as the number of direct reclaimers increase. It has
four types of worker.
- One "anon latency" worker creates small mappings with mmap() and
times how long it takes to fault the mapping reading it 4K at a time
- X file writers which is fio randomly writing X files where the total
size of the files add up to the allowed dirty_ratio. fio is allowed
to run for a warmup period to allow some file-backed pages to
accumulate. The duration of the warmup is based on the best-case
linear write speed of the storage.
- Y file readers which is fio randomly reading small files
- Z anon memory hogs which continually map (100-dirty_ratio)% of memory
- Total estimated WSS = (100+dirty_ration) percentage of memory
X+Y+Z+1 == NR_WORKERS varying from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4
The intent is to maximise the total WSS with a mix of file and anon
memory where some anonymous memory must be swapped and there is a high
likelihood of dirty/writeback pages reaching the end of the LRU.
The test can be configured to have no background readers to stress
dirty/writeback pages. The results below are based on having zero
readers.
The short summary of the results is that the series works and stalls
until some event occurs but the timeouts may need adjustment.
The test results are not broken down by patch as the series should be
treated as one block that replaces a broken throttling mechanism with a
working one.
Finally, three machines were tested but I'm reporting the worst set of
results. The other two machines had much better latencies for example.
First the results of the "anon latency" latency

For most thread counts, the time to mmap() is unfortunately increased.
In earlier versions of the series, this was lower but a large number of
throttling events were reaching their timeout increasing the amount of
inefficient scanning of the LRU. There is no prioritisation of reclaim
tasks making progress based on each tasks rate of page allocation versus
progress of reclaim. The variance is also impacted for high worker
counts but in all cases, the differences in latency are not
statistically significant due to very large maximum outliers. Max-90
shows that 90% of the stalls are comparable but the Max results show the
massive outliers which are increased to to stalling.
It is expected that this will be very machine dependant. Due to the
test design, reclaim is difficult so allocations stall and there are
variances depending on whether THPs can be allocated or not. The amount
of memory will affect exactly how bad the corner cases are and how often
they trigger. The warmup period calculation is not ideal as it's based
on linear writes where as fio is randomly writing multiple files from
multiple tasks so the start state of the test is variable. For example,
these are the latencies on a single-socket machine that had more memory

Kswapd scanned less pages but the detailed pattern is different. The
vanilla kernel scans slowly over time where as the patches exhibits
burst patterns of scan activity. Direct reclaim scanning is reduced by
52% due to stalling.
The pattern for stealing pages is also slightly different. Both kernels
exhibit spikes but the vanilla kernel when reclaiming shows pages being
reclaimed over a period of time where as the patches tend to reclaim in
spikes. The difference is that vanilla is not throttling and instead
scanning constantly finding some pages over time where as the patched
kernel throttles and reclaims in spikes.
Ops Percentage direct scans 90.59 77.37
For direct reclaim, vanilla scanned 90.59% of pages where as with the

82394 writeback_wait_iff_congested: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=0
The fast majority of wait_iff_congested calls do not stall at all. What
is likely happening is that cond_resched() reschedules the task for a
short period when the BDI is not registering congestion (which it never
will in this test setup).

778 writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=104000
congestion_wait if called always exceeds the timeout as there is no
trigger to wake it up.
Bottom line: Vanilla will throttle but it's not effective.

------------
Kswapd throttle activity was always due to scanning pages tagged for
immediate reclaim at the tail of the LRU

The majority of events did not stall or stalled for a short period.
Roughly 16% of stalls reached the timeout before expiry. For direct
reclaim, the number of times stalled for each reason were
6624 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED
93246 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_NOPROGRESS
96934 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_WRITEBACK
The most common reason to stall was due to excessive pages tagged for
immediate reclaim at the tail of the LRU followed by a failure to make
forward. A relatively small number were due to too many pages isolated
from the LRU by parallel threads
For VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED, the breakdown of delays was

Most did not stall at all. A small number reached the timeout.
For VMSCAN_THROTTLE_NOPROGRESS, the breakdown of stalls were all over

The full timeout is often hit but a large number also do not stall at
all. The remainder slept a little allowing other reclaim tasks to make
progress.
While this timeout could be further increased, it could also negatively
impact worst-case behaviour when there is no prioritisation of what task
should make progress.

The majority hit the timeout in direct reclaim context although a
sizable number did not stall at all. This is very different to kswapd
where only a tiny percentage of stalls due to writeback reached the
timeout.
Bottom line, the throttling appears to work and the wakeup events may
limit worst case stalls. There might be some grounds for adjusting
timeouts but it's likely futile as the worst-case scenarios depend on
the workload, memory size and the speed of the storage. A better
approach to improve the series further would be to prioritise tasks
based on their rate of allocation with the caveat that it may be very
expensive to track.
This patch (of 5):
Page reclaim throttles on wait_iff_congested under the following
conditions:
- kswapd is encountering pages under writeback and marked for immediate
reclaim implying that pages are cycling through the LRU faster than
pages can be cleaned.
- Direct reclaim will stall if all dirty pages are backed by congested
inodes.
wait_iff_congested is almost completely broken with few exceptions.
This patch adds a new node-based workqueue and tracks the number of
throttled tasks and pages written back since throttling started. If
enough pages belonging to the node are written back then the throttled
tasks will wake early. If not, the throttled tasks sleeps until the
timeout expires.

mm/page_isolation: guard against possible putback unisolated page
Isolating a free page in an isolated pageblock is expected to always
work as watermarks don't apply here.
But if __isolate_free_page() failed, due to condition changes, the page
will be left on the free list. And the page will be put back to free
list again via __putback_isolated_page(). This may trigger
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() on page->flags checking in __free_one_page() if
PageReported is set. Or we will corrupt the free list because
list_add() will be called for pages already on another list.
Add a VM_WARN_ON() to complain about this change.

mm/page_isolation: fix potential missing call to unset_migratetype_isolate()
In start_isolate_page_range() undo path, pfn_to_online_page() just
checks the first pfn in a pageblock while __first_valid_page() will
traverse the pageblock until the first online pfn is found. So we may
miss the call to unset_migratetype_isolate() in undo path and pages will
remain isolated unexpectedly.
Fix this by calling undo_isolate_page_range() and this will also help to
simplify the code further. Note we shouldn't ever trigger it because
MAX_ORDER-1 aligned pfn ranges shouldn't contain memory holes now.

userfaultfd/selftests: fix calculation of expected ioctls
Today, we assert that the ioctls the kernel reports as supported for a registration match a precomputed list. We decide which ioctls are supported by examining the memory type. Then, in several locations we "fix up" this list by adding or removing things this initial decision got wrong. What ioctls the kernel reports is actually a function of several things: - The memory type - Kernel feature support (e.g., no writeprotect on aarch64) - The registration type (e.g., CONTINUE only supported for MINOR mode) So, we can't fully compute this at the start, in set_test_type. It varies per test, depending on what registration mode(s) those tests use. Instead, introduce a new function which computes the correct list. This centralizes the add/remove of ioctls depending on these function inputs in one place, so we don't have to repeat ourselves in various tests. Not only is the resulting code a bit shorter, but it fixes a real bug in the existing code: previously, we would incorrectly require the writeprotect ioctl to be present on aarch64, where it isn't actually supported.

userfaultfd/selftests: fix feature support detection
Before any tests are run, in set_test_type, we decide what feature(s) we are going to be testing, based upon our command line arguments. However, the supported features are not just a function of the memory type being used, so this is broken. For instance, consider writeprotect support. It is "normally" supported for anonymous memory, but furthermore it requires that the kernel has CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP. So, it is *not* supported at all on aarch64, for example. So, this fixes this by querying the kernel for the set of features it supports in set_test_type, by opening a userfaultfd and issuing a UFFDIO_API ioctl. Based upon the reported features, we toggle what tests are enabled.

Then, we avoid using GNU libc extensions. Why does this matter?

hugetlb: support node specified when using cma for gigantic hugepages
Now the size of CMA area for gigantic hugepages runtime allocation is balanced for all online nodes, but we also want to specify the size of CMA per-node, or only one node in some cases, which are similar with patch [1]. For example, on some multi-nodes systems, each node's memory can be different, allocating the same size of CMA for each node is not suitable for the low-memory nodes. Meanwhile some workloads like DPDK mentioned by Zhenguo in patch [1] only need hugepages in one node. On the other hand, we have some machines with multiple types of memory, like DRAM and PMEM (persistent memory). On this system, we may want to specify all the hugepages only on DRAM node, or specify the proportion of DRAM node and PMEM node, to tuning the performance of the workloads. Thus this patch adds node format for 'hugetlb_cma' parameter to support specifying the size of CMA per-node. An example is as follows: hugetlb_cma=0:5G,2:5G which means allocating 5G size of CMA area on node 0 and node 2 respectively. And the users should use the node specific sysfs file to allocate the gigantic hugepages if specified the CMA size on that node.

mm, hugepages: add mremap() support for hugepage backed vma
Support mremap() for hugepage backed vma segment by simply repositioning page table entries. The page table entries are repositioned to the new virtual address on mremap(). Hugetlb mremap() support is of course generic; my motivating use case is a library (hugepage_text), which reloads the ELF text of executables in hugepages. This significantly increases the execution performance of said executables. Restrict the mremap operation on hugepages to up to the size of the original mapping as the underlying hugetlb reservation is not yet capable of handling remapping to a larger size. During the mremap() operation we detect pmd_share'd mappings and we unshare those during the mremap(). On access and fault the sharing is established again.

hugetlb: add demote bool to gigantic page routines
The routines remove_hugetlb_page and destroy_compound_gigantic_page will remove a gigantic page and make the set of base pages ready to be returned to a lower level allocator. In the process of doing this, they make all base pages reference counted. The routine prep_compound_gigantic_page creates a gigantic page from a set of base pages. It assumes that all these base pages are reference counted. During demotion, a gigantic page will be split into huge pages of a smaller size. This logically involves use of the routines, remove_hugetlb_page, and destroy_compound_gigantic_page followed by prep_compound*_page for each smaller huge page. When pages are reference counted (ref count >= 0), additional speculative ref counts could be taken as described in previous commits [1] and [2]. This could result in errors while demoting a huge page. Quite a bit of code would need to be created to handle all possible issues. Instead of dealing with the possibility of speculative ref counts, avoid the possibility by keeping ref counts at zero during the demote process. Add a boolean 'demote' to the routines remove_hugetlb_page, destroy_compound_gigantic_page and prep_compound_gigantic_page. If the boolean is set, the remove and destroy routines will not reference count pages and the prep routine will not expect reference counted pages. '*_for_demote' wrappers of the routines will be added in a subsequent patch where this functionality is used.

hugetlb: be sure to free demoted CMA pages to CMA
When huge page demotion is fully implemented, gigantic pages can be demoted to a smaller huge page size. For example, on x86 a 1G page can be demoted to 512 2M pages. However, gigantic pages can potentially be allocated from CMA. If a gigantic page which was allocated from CMA is demoted, the corresponding demoted pages needs to be returned to CMA. Use the new interface cma_pages_valid() to determine if a non-gigantic hugetlb page should be freed to CMA. Also, clear mapping field of these pages as expected by cma_release. This also requires a change to CMA region creation for gigantic pages. CMA uses a per-region bit map to track allocations. When setting up the region, you specify how many pages each bit represents. Currently, only gigantic pages are allocated/freed from CMA so the region is set up such that one bit represents a gigantic page size allocation. With demote, a gigantic page (allocation) could be split into smaller size pages. And, these smaller size pages will be freed to CMA. So, since the per-region bit map needs to be set up to represent the smallest allocation/free size, it now needs to be set to the smallest huge page size which can be freed to CMA. Unfortunately, we set up the CMA region for huge pages before we set up huge pages sizes (hstates). So, technically we do not know the smallest huge page size as this can change via command line options and architecture specific code. Therefore, at region setup time we use HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER as the smallest possible huge page size that can be given back to CMA. It is possible that this value is sub-optimal for some architectures/config options. If needed, this can be addressed in follow on work.

hugetlb: add demote hugetlb page sysfs interfaces
Patch series "hugetlb: add demote/split page functionality", v4.
The concurrent use of multiple hugetlb page sizes on a single system is
becoming more common. One of the reasons is better TLB support for
gigantic page sizes on x86 hardware. In addition, hugetlb pages are
being used to back VMs in hosting environments.
When using hugetlb pages to back VMs, it is often desirable to
preallocate hugetlb pools. This avoids the delay and uncertainty of
allocating hugetlb pages at VM startup. In addition, preallocating huge
pages minimizes the issue of memory fragmentation that increases the
longer the system is up and running.
In such environments, a combination of larger and smaller hugetlb pages
are preallocated in anticipation of backing VMs of various sizes. Over
time, the preallocated pool of smaller hugetlb pages may become depleted
while larger hugetlb pages still remain. In such situations, it is
desirable to convert larger hugetlb pages to smaller hugetlb pages.
Converting larger to smaller hugetlb pages can be accomplished today by
first freeing the larger page to the buddy allocator and then allocating
the smaller pages. For example, to convert 50 GB pages on x86:
gb_pages=`cat .../hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages`

echo $(($m2_pages + 25600)) > .../hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
On an idle system this operation is fairly reliable and results are as
expected. The number of 2MB pages is increased as expected and the time
of the operation is a second or two.
However, when there is activity on the system the following issues
arise:
1) This process can take quite some time, especially if allocation of
the smaller pages is not immediate and requires migration/compaction.
2) There is no guarantee that the total size of smaller pages allocated
will match the size of the larger page which was freed. This is
because the area freed by the larger page could quickly be
fragmented.
In a test environment with a load that continually fills the page cache
with clean pages, results such as the following can be observed:
Unexpected number of 2MB pages allocated: Expected 25600, have 19944
real 0m42.092s
user 0m0.008s
sys 0m41.467s
To address these issues, introduce the concept of hugetlb page demotion.
Demotion provides a means of 'in place' splitting of a hugetlb page to
pages of a smaller size. This avoids freeing pages to buddy and then
trying to allocate from buddy.
Page demotion is controlled via sysfs files that reside in the per-hugetlb
page size and per node directories.
- demote_size
Target page size for demotion, a smaller huge page size. File
can be written to chose a smaller huge page size if multiple are
available.
- demote
Writable number of hugetlb pages to be demoted
To demote 50 GB huge pages, one would:
cat .../hugepages-1048576kB/free_hugepages /* optional, verify free pages */
cat .../hugepages-1048576kB/demote_size /* optional, verify target size */
echo 50 > .../hugepages-1048576kB/demote
Only hugetlb pages which are free at the time of the request can be
demoted. Demotion does not add to the complexity of surplus pages and
honors reserved huge pages. Therefore, when a value is written to the
sysfs demote file, that value is only the maximum number of pages which
will be demoted. It is possible fewer will actually be demoted. The
recently introduced per-hstate mutex is used to synchronize demote
operations with other operations that modify hugetlb pools.
Real world use cases
--------------------
The above scenario describes a real world use case where hugetlb pages
are used to back VMs on x86. Both issues of long allocation times and
not necessarily getting the expected number of smaller huge pages after
a free and allocate cycle have been experienced. The occurrence of
these issues is dependent on other activity within the host and can not
be predicted.
This patch (of 5):
Two new sysfs files are added to demote hugtlb pages. These files are
both per-hugetlb page size and per node. Files are:
demote_size - The size in Kb that pages are demoted to. (read-write)
demote - The number of huge pages to demote. (write-only)
By default, demote_size is the next smallest huge page size. Valid huge
page sizes less than huge page size may be written to this file. When
huge pages are demoted, they are demoted to this size.
Writing a value to demote will result in an attempt to demote that
number of hugetlb pages to an appropriate number of demote_size pages.
NOTE: Demote interfaces are only provided for huge page sizes if there
is a smaller target demote huge page size. For example, on x86 1GB huge
pages will have demote interfaces. 2MB huge pages will not have demote
interfaces.
This patch does not provide full demote functionality. It only provides
the sysfs interfaces.
It also provides documentation for the new interfaces.

mm: shmem: don't truncate page if memory failure happens
The current behavior of memory failure is to truncate the page cache regardless of dirty or clean. If the page is dirty the later access will get the obsolete data from disk without any notification to the users. This may cause silent data loss. It is even worse for shmem since shmem is in-memory filesystem, truncating page cache means discarding data blocks. The later read would return all zero. The right approach is to keep the corrupted page in page cache, any later access would return error for syscalls or SIGBUS for page fault, until the file is truncated, hole punched or removed. The regular storage backed filesystems would be more complicated so this patch is focused on shmem. This also unblock the support for soft offlining shmem THP.

mm: hwpoison: refactor refcount check handling
Memory failure will report failure if the page still has extra pinned refcount other than from hwpoison after the handler is done. Actually the check is not necessary for all handlers, so move the check into specific handlers. This would make the following keeping shmem page in page cache patch easier. There may be expected extra pin for some cases, for example, when the page is dirty and in swapcache.

mm: filemap: coding style cleanup for filemap_map_pmd()
Patch series "Solve silent data loss caused by poisoned page cache (shmem/tmpfs)", v5.
When discussing the patch that splits page cache THP in order to offline
the poisoned page, Noaya mentioned there is a bigger problem [1] that
prevents this from working since the page cache page will be truncated
if uncorrectable errors happen. By looking this deeper it turns out
this approach (truncating poisoned page) may incur silent data loss for
all non-readonly filesystems if the page is dirty. It may be worse for
in-memory filesystem, e.g. shmem/tmpfs since the data blocks are
actually gone.
To solve this problem we could keep the poisoned dirty page in page
cache then notify the users on any later access, e.g. page fault,
read/write, etc. The clean page could be truncated as is since they can
be reread from disk later on.
The consequence is the filesystems may find poisoned page and manipulate
it as healthy page since all the filesystems actually don't check if the
page is poisoned or not in all the relevant paths except page fault. In
general, we need make the filesystems be aware of poisoned page before
we could keep the poisoned page in page cache in order to solve the data
loss problem.
To make filesystems be aware of poisoned page we should consider:
- The page should be not written back: clearing dirty flag could
prevent from writeback.
- The page should not be dropped (it shows as a clean page) by drop
caches or other callers: the refcount pin from hwpoison could prevent
from invalidating (called by cache drop, inode cache shrinking, etc),
but it doesn't avoid invalidation in DIO path.
- The page should be able to get truncated/hole punched/unlinked: it
works as it is.
- Notify users when the page is accessed, e.g. read/write, page fault
and other paths (compression, encryption, etc).
The scope of the last one is huge since almost all filesystems need do
it once a page is returned from page cache lookup. There are a couple
of options to do it:
1. Check hwpoison flag for every path, the most straightforward way.
2. Return NULL for poisoned page from page cache lookup, the most
callsites check if NULL is returned, this should have least work I
think. But the error handling in filesystems just return -ENOMEM,
the error code will incur confusion to the users obviously.
3. To improve #2, we could return error pointer, e.g. ERR_PTR(-EIO),
but this will involve significant amount of code change as well
since all the paths need check if the pointer is ERR or not just
like option #1.
I did prototypes for both #1 and #3, but it seems #3 may require more
changes than #1. For #3 ERR_PTR will be returned so all the callers
need to check the return value otherwise invalid pointer may be
dereferenced, but not all callers really care about the content of the
page, for example, partial truncate which just sets the truncated range
in one page to 0. So for such paths it needs additional modification if
ERR_PTR is returned. And if the callers have their own way to handle
the problematic pages we need to add a new FGP flag to tell FGP
functions to return the pointer to the page.
It may happen very rarely, but once it happens the consequence (data
corruption) could be very bad and it is very hard to debug. It seems
this problem had been slightly discussed before, but seems no action was
taken at that time. [2]
As the aforementioned investigation, it needs huge amount of work to
solve the potential data loss for all filesystems. But it is much
easier for in-memory filesystems and such filesystems actually suffer
more than others since even the data blocks are gone due to truncating.
So this patchset starts from shmem/tmpfs by taking option #1.

There was a report that starting an Ubuntu in docker while using cpuset
to bind it to movable nodes (a node only has movable zone, like a node
for hotplug or a Persistent Memory node in normal usage) will fail due

The reason is that in this case, the target cpuset nodes only have
movable zone, while the creation of an OS in docker sometimes needs to
allocate memory in non-movable zones (dma/dma32/normal) like
GFP_HIGHUSER, and the cpuset limit forbids the allocation, then
out-of-memory killing is involved even when normal nodes and movable
nodes both have many free memory.
The OOM killer cannot help to resolve the situation as there is no
usable memory for the request in the cpuset scope. The only reasonable
measure to take is to fail the allocation right away and have the caller
to deal with it.
So add a check for cases like this in the slowpath of allocation, and
bail out early returning NULL for the allocation.
As page allocation is one of the hottest path in kernel, this check will
hurt all users with sane cpuset configuration, add a static branch check
and detect the abnormal config in cpuset memory binding setup so that
the extra check cost in page allocation is not paid by everyone.
[thanks to Micho Hocko and David Rientjes for suggesting not handling
it inside OOM code, adding cpuset check, refining comments]

mm/page_alloc.c: do not acquire zone lock in is_free_buddy_page()
Grabbing zone lock in is_free_buddy_page() gives a wrong sense of safety, and has potential performance implications when zone is experiencing lock contention. In any case, if a caller needs a stable result, it should grab zone lock before calling this function.

mm: move fold_vm_numa_events() to fix NUMA without SMP
If CONFIG_NUMA=y, but CONFIG_SMP=n (e.g. sh/migor_defconfig):
sh4-linux-gnu-ld: mm/vmstat.o: in function `vmstat_start': vmstat.c:(.text+0x97c): undefined reference to `fold_vm_numa_events'
sh4-linux-gnu-ld: drivers/base/node.o: in function `node_read_vmstat': node.c:(.text+0x140): undefined reference to `fold_vm_numa_events'
sh4-linux-gnu-ld: drivers/base/node.o: in function `node_read_numastat': node.c:(.text+0x1d0): undefined reference to `fold_vm_numa_events'
Fix this by moving fold_vm_numa_events() outside the SMP-only section.
