The memcg code can trap tasks in the context of the failing allocation
until an OOM situation is resolved. They can hold all kinds of locks
(fs, mm) at this point, which makes it prone to deadlocking.
This series converts memcg OOM handling into a two step process that is
started in the charge context, but any waiting is done after the fault
stack is fully unwound.
Patches 1-4 prepare architecture handlers to support the new memcg
requirements, but in doing so they also remove old cruft and unify
out-of-memory behavior across architectures.
Patch 5 disables the memcg OOM handling for syscalls, readahead, kernel
faults, because they can gracefully unwind the stack with -ENOMEM. OOM
handling is restricted to user triggered faults that have no other
option.
Patch 6 reworks memcg's hierarchical OOM locking to make it a little
more obvious wth is going on in there: reduce locked regions, rename
locking functions, reorder and document.
Patch 7 implements the two-part OOM handling such that tasks are never
trapped with the full charge stack in an OOM situation.
This patch:
Back before smart OOM killing, when faulting tasks were killed directly on
allocation failures, the arch-specific fault handlers needed special
protection for the init process.
Now that all fault handlers call into the generic OOM killer (see commit
609838cfed: "mm: invoke oom-killer from remaining unconverted page
fault handlers"), which already provides init protection, the
arch-specific leftovers can be removed.

shrink_zone starts with soft reclaim pass first and then falls back to
regular reclaim if nothing has been scanned. This behavior is natural
but there is a catch. Memcg iterators, when used with the reclaim
cookie, are designed to help to prevent from over reclaim by
interleaving reclaimers (per node-zone-priority) so the tree walk might
miss many (even all) nodes in the hierarchy e.g. when there are direct
reclaimers racing with each other or with kswapd in the global case or
multiple allocators reaching the limit for the target reclaim case. To
make it even more complicated, targeted reclaim doesn't do the whole
tree walk because it stops reclaiming once it reclaims sufficient pages.
As a result groups over the limit might be missed, thus nothing is
scanned, and reclaim would fall back to the reclaim all mode.
This patch checks for the incomplete tree walk in shrink_zone. If no
group has been visited and the hierarchy is soft reclaimable then we
must have missed some groups, in which case the __shrink_zone is called
again. This doesn't guarantee there will be some progress of course
because the current reclaimer might be still racing with others but it
would at least give a chance to start the walk without a big risk of
reclaim latencies.

Children in soft limit excess are currently tracked up the hierarchy in
memcg->children_in_excess. Nevertheless there still might exist tons of
groups that are not in hierarchy relation to the root cgroup (e.g. all
first level groups if root_mem_cgroup->use_hierarchy == false).
As the whole tree walk has to be done when the iteration starts at
root_mem_cgroup the iterator should be able to skip the walk if there is
no child above the limit without iterating them. This can be done
easily if the root tracks all children rather than only hierarchical
children. This is done by this patch which updates root_mem_cgroup
children_in_excess if root_mem_cgroup->use_hierarchy == false so the
root knows about all children in excess.
Please note that this is not an issue for inner memcgs which have
use_hierarchy == false because then only the single group is visited so
no special optimization is necessary.

mem_cgroup_should_soft_reclaim controls whether soft reclaim pass is
done and it always says yes currently. Memcg iterators are clever to
skip nodes that are not soft reclaimable quite efficiently but
mem_cgroup_should_soft_reclaim can be more clever and do not start the
soft reclaim pass at all if it knows that nothing would be scanned
anyway.
In order to do that, simply reuse mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible for
the target group of the reclaim and allow the pass only if the whole
subtree wouldn't be skipped.

The caller of the iterator might know that some nodes or even subtrees
should be skipped but there is no way to tell iterators about that so the
only choice left is to let iterators to visit each node and do the
selection outside of the iterating code. This, however, doesn't scale
well with hierarchies with many groups where only few groups are
interesting.
This patch adds mem_cgroup_iter_cond variant of the iterator with a
callback which gets called for every visited node. There are three
possible ways how the callback can influence the walk. Either the node is
visited, it is skipped but the tree walk continues down the tree or the
whole subtree of the current group is skipped.

Soft reclaim has been done only for the global reclaim (both background
and direct). Since "memcg: integrate soft reclaim tighter with zone
shrinking code" there is no reason for this limitation anymore as the soft
limit reclaim doesn't use any special code paths and it is a part of the
zone shrinking code which is used by both global and targeted reclaims.
From the semantic point of view it is natural to consider soft limit
before touching all groups in the hierarchy tree which is touching the
hard limit because soft limit tells us where to push back when there is a
memory pressure. It is not important whether the pressure comes from the
limit or imbalanced zones.
This patch simply enables soft reclaim unconditionally in
mem_cgroup_should_soft_reclaim so it is enabled for both global and
targeted reclaim paths. mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible needs to learn
about the root of the reclaim to know where to stop checking soft limit
state of parents up the hierarchy. Say we have
A (over soft limit)
\
B (below s.l., hit the hard limit)
/ \
C D (below s.l.)
B is the source of the outside memory pressure now for D but we shouldn't
soft reclaim it because it is behaving well under B subtree and we can
still reclaim from C (pressumably it is over the limit).
mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible should therefore stop climbing up the
hierarchy at B (root of the memory pressure).

This patchset is sitting out of tree for quite some time without any
objections. I would be really happy if it made it into 3.12. I do not
want to push it too hard but I think this work is basically ready and
waiting more doesn't help.
The basic idea is quite simple. Pull soft reclaim into shrink_zone in the
first step and get rid of the previous soft reclaim infrastructure.
shrink_zone is done in two passes now. First it tries to do the soft
limit reclaim and it falls back to reclaim-all mode if no group is over
the limit or no pages have been scanned. The second pass happens at the
same priority so the only time we waste is the memcg tree walk which has
been updated in the third step to have only negligible overhead.
As a bonus we will get rid of a _lot_ of code by this and soft reclaim
will not stand out like before when it wasn't integrated into the zone
shrinking code and it reclaimed at priority 0 (the testing results show
that some workloads suffers from such an aggressive reclaim). The clean
up is in a separate patch because I felt it would be easier to review that
way.
The second step is soft limit reclaim integration into targeted reclaim.
It should be rather straight forward. Soft limit has been used only for
the global reclaim so far but it makes sense for any kind of pressure
coming from up-the-hierarchy, including targeted reclaim.
The third step (patches 4-8) addresses the tree walk overhead by enhancing
memcg iterators to enable skipping whole subtrees and tracking number of
over soft limit children at each level of the hierarchy. This information
is updated same way the old soft limit tree was updated (from
memcg_check_events) so we shouldn't see an additional overhead. In fact
mem_cgroup_update_soft_limit is much simpler than tree manipulation done
previously.
__shrink_zone uses mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible as a predicate for
mem_cgroup_iter so the decision whether a particular group should be
visited is done at the iterator level which allows us to decide to skip
the whole subtree as well (if there is no child in excess). This reduces
the tree walk overhead considerably.
* TEST 1
========
My primary test case was a parallel kernel build with 2 groups (make is
running with -j8 with a distribution .config in a separate cgroup without
any hard limit) on a 32 CPU machine booted with 1GB memory and both builds
run taskset to Node 0 cpus.
I was mostly interested in 2 setups. Default - no soft limit set and -
and 0 soft limit set to both groups. The first one should tell us whether
the rework regresses the default behavior while the second one should show
us improvements in an extreme case where both workloads are always over
the soft limit.
/usr/bin/time -v has been used to collect the statistics and each
configuration had 3 runs after fresh boot without any other load on the
system.

The improvement is really huge here (even bigger than with my previous

Same as with my previous testing Minor faults are more or less within
noise but Major fault count is way bellow the base kernel.
While this looks as a nice win it is fair to say that 0-limit
configuration is quite artificial. So I was playing with 0-no-limit
loads as well.
* TEST 2
========
The following results are from 2 groups configuration on a 16GB machine
(single NUMA node).
- A running stream IO (dd if=/dev/zero of=local.file bs=1024) with
2*TotalMem with 0 soft limit.
- B running a mem_eater which consumes TotalMem-1G without any limit. The
mem_eater consumes the memory in 100 chunks with 1s nap after each
mmap+poppulate so that both loads have chance to fight for the memory.
The expected result is that B shouldn't be reclaimed and A shouldn't see
a big dropdown in elapsed time.

System time improved slightly as well as Elapsed. My previous testing
has shown worse numbers but this again seem to depend on the storage
speed.
My theory is that the writeback doesn't catch up and prio-0 soft reclaim
falls into wait on writeback page too often in the base kernel. The
patched kernel doesn't do that because the soft reclaim is done from the
kswapd/direct reclaim context. This can be seen on the following graph
nicely. The A's group usage_in_bytes regurarly drops really low very often.
All 3 runs
http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/stream.png
resp. a detail of the single run
http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/stream-one-run.png
mem_eater seems to be doing better as well. It gets to the full
allocation size faster as can be seen on the following graph:
http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/mem_eater-one-run.png
/proc/meminfo collected during the test also shows that rework kernel
hasn't swapped that much (well almost not at all):
base: max: 123900 K avg: 56388.29 K
rework: max: 300 K avg: 128.68 K
kswapd and direct reclaim statistics are of no use unfortunatelly because
soft reclaim is not accounted properly as the counters are hidden by
global_reclaim() checks in the base kernel.
* TEST 3
========
Another test was the same configuration as TEST2 except the stream IO was
replaced by a single kbuild (16 parallel jobs bound to Node0 cpus same as
in TEST1) and mem_eater allocated TotalMem-200M so kbuild had only 200MB
left.
Kbuild did better with the rework kernel here as well:

Again we can see a significant improvement in Elapsed (it also seems to
be more stable), there is a huge dropdown for the Major page faults and
much more swapping:
base: max: 583736 K avg: 112547.43 K
rework: max: 4012 K avg: 124.36 K
Graphs from all three runs show the variability of the kbuild quite
nicely. It even seems that it took longer after every run with the base
kernel which would be quite surprising as the source tree for the build is
removed and caches are dropped after each run so the build operates on a
freshly extracted sources everytime.
http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/kbuild-mem_eater.png
My other testing shows that this is just a matter of timing and other runs
behave differently the std for Elapsed time is similar ~50. Example of
other three runs:
http://labs.suse.cz/mhocko/soft_limit_rework/stream_io-vs-mem_eater/kbuild-mem_eater2.png
So to wrap this up. The series is still doing good and improves the soft
limit.
The testing results for bunch of cgroups with both stream IO and kbuild
loads can be found in "memcg: track children in soft limit excess to
improve soft limit".
This patch:
Memcg soft reclaim has been traditionally triggered from the global
reclaim paths before calling shrink_zone. mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim
then picked up a group which exceeds the soft limit the most and reclaimed
it with 0 priority to reclaim at least SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages.
The infrastructure requires per-node-zone trees which hold over-limit
groups and keep them up-to-date (via memcg_check_events) which is not cost
free. Although this overhead hasn't turned out to be a bottle neck the
implementation is suboptimal because mem_cgroup_update_tree has no idea
which zones consumed memory over the limit so we could easily end up
having a group on a node-zone tree having only few pages from that
node-zone.
This patch doesn't try to fix node-zone trees management because it seems
that integrating soft reclaim into zone shrinking sounds much easier and
more appropriate for several reasons. First of all 0 priority reclaim was
a crude hack which might lead to big stalls if the group's LRUs are big
and hard to reclaim (e.g. a lot of dirty/writeback pages). Soft reclaim
should be applicable also to the targeted reclaim which is awkward right
now without additional hacks. Last but not least the whole infrastructure
eats quite some code.
After this patch shrink_zone is done in 2 passes. First it tries to do
the soft reclaim if appropriate (only for global reclaim for now to keep
compatible with the original state) and fall back to ignoring soft limit
if no group is eligible to soft reclaim or nothing has been scanned during
the first pass. Only groups which are over their soft limit or any of
their parents up the hierarchy is over the limit are considered eligible
during the first pass.
Soft limit tree which is not necessary anymore will be removed in the
follow up patch to make this patch smaller and easier to review.

This avoids the spinlocks and refcounts in the d_path() sequence too
(used by /proc and various other entities). See commit 8b19e34188 for
the equivalent getcwd() system call path.
And unlike getcwd(), d_path() doesn't copy the result to user space, so
I don't need to fear _that_ particular bug happening again.

Keep arch/arm/Kconfig select statements sorted alphabetically. I've
added a comment at the bottom of the main bank for CONFIG_ARM to this
effect so hopefully this will keep things more in order.

It's a pathname. It should use the pathname allocators and
deallocators, and PATH_MAX instead of PAGE_SIZE. Never mind that the
two are commonly the same.
With this, the allocations scale up nicely too, and I can do getcwd()
system calls at a rate of about 300M/s, with no lock contention
anywhere.
Of course, nobody sane does that, especially since getcwd() is
traditionally a very slow operation in Unix. But this was also the
simplest way to benchmark the prepend_path() improvements by Waiman, and
once I saw the profiles I couldn't leave it well enough alone.
But apart from being an performance improvement (from using per-cpu slab
allocators instead of the raw page allocator), it's actually a valid and
real cleanup.

1) ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) fixes related to spurious events
After the recent ACPIPHP changes we've seen some interesting breakage
on a system that triggers device check notifications during boot for
non-existing devices. Although those notifications are really
spurious, we should be able to deal with them nevertheless and that
shouldn't introduce too much overhead. Four commits to make that
work properly.
2) Memory hotplug and hibernation mutual exclusion rework
This was maent to be a cleanup, but it happens to fix a classical
ABBA deadlock between system suspend/hibernation and ACPI memory
hotplug which is possible if they are started roughly at the same
time. Three commits rework memory hotplug so that it doesn't
acquire pm_mutex and make hibernation use device_hotplug_lock
which prevents it from racing with memory hotplug.
3) ACPI Intel LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver crash fix
The ACPI LPSS driver crashes during boot on Apple Macbook Air with
Haswell that has slightly unusual BIOS configuration in which one
of the LPSS device's _CRS method doesn't return all of the information
expected by the driver. Fix from Mika Westerberg, for stable.
4) ACPICA fix related to Store->ArgX operation
AML interpreter fix for obscure breakage that causes AML to be
executed incorrectly on some machines (observed in practice). From
Bob Moore.
5) ACPI core fix for PCI ACPI device objects lookup
There still are cases in which there is more than one ACPI device
object matching a given PCI device and we don't choose the one that
the BIOS expects us to choose, so this makes the lookup take more
criteria into account in those cases.
6) Fix to prevent cpuidle from crashing in some rare cases
If the result of cpuidle_get_driver() is NULL, which can happen on
some systems, cpuidle_driver_ref() will crash trying to use that
pointer and the Daniel Fu's fix prevents that from happening.
7) cpufreq fixes related to CPU hotplug
Stephen Boyd reported a number of concurrency problems with cpufreq
related to CPU hotplug which are addressed by a series of fixes
from Srivatsa S Bhat and Viresh Kumar.
8) cpufreq fix for time conversion in time_in_state attribute
Time conversion carried out by cpufreq when user space attempts to
read /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state won't
work correcty if cputime_t doesn't map directly to jiffies. Fix
from Andreas Schwab.
9) Revert of a troublesome cpufreq commit
Commit 7c30ed5 (cpufreq: make sure frequency transitions are
serialized) was intended to address some known concurrency problems
in cpufreq related to the ordering of transitions, but unfortunately
it introduced several problems of its own, so I decided to revert it
now and address the original problems later in a more robust way.
10) Intel Haswell CPU models for intel_pstate from Nell Hardcastle.
11) cpufreq fixes related to system suspend/resume
The recent cpufreq changes that made it preserve CPU sysfs attributes
over suspend/resume cycles introduced a possible NULL pointer
dereference that caused it to crash during the second attempt to
suspend. Three commits from Srivatsa S Bhat fix that problem and a
couple of related issues.
12) cpufreq locking fix
cpufreq_policy_restore() should acquire the lock for reading, but
it acquires it for writing. Fix from Lan Tianyu.

This allows us to skip all the crazy spinlocks and reference count
updates, and instead use the fs sequence read-lock to get an atomic
snapshot of the root and cwd information.
We might want to make the rule that "prepend_path()" is always called
with the RCU lock held, but the RCU lock nests fine and this is the
minimal fix.

"This is against 3.11-rc7, but was pulled and tested against your tree

wanted to get this bunch out the door before I hop on an airplane.
This is a fairly large batch of fixes, performance improvements, and
cleanups from the usual Btrfs suspects.
We've included Stefan Behren's work to index subvolume UUIDs, which is
targeted at speeding up send/receive with many subvolumes or snapshots
in place. It closes a long standing performance issue that was built
in to the disk format.
Mark Fasheh's offline dedup work is also here. In this case offline
means the FS is mounted and active, but the dedup work is not done
inline during file IO. This is a building block where utilities are
able to ask the FS to dedup a series of extents. The kernel takes
care of verifying the data involved really is the same. Today this
involves reading both extents, but we'll continue to evolve the
patches"

This patch modifies read_seqbegin_or_lock() and need_seqretry() to use
newly introduced read_seqlock_excl() and read_sequnlock_excl()
primitives so that they won't change the sequence number even if they
fall back to take the lock. This is OK as no change to the protected
data structure is being made.
It will prevent one fallback to lock taking from cascading into a series
of lock taking reducing performance because of the sequence number
change. It will also allow other sequence readers to go forward while
an exclusive reader lock is taken.
This patch also updates some of the inaccurate comments in the code.

The sequence lock (seqlock) was originally designed for the cases where
the readers do not need to block the writers by making the readers retry
the read operation when the data change.
Since then, the use cases have been expanded to include situations where
a thread does not need to change the data (effectively a reader) at all
but have to take the writer lock because it can't tolerate changes to
the protected structure. Some examples are the d_path() function and
the getcwd() syscall in fs/dcache.c where the functions take the writer
lock on rename_lock even though they don't need to change anything in
the protected data structure at all. This is inefficient as a reader is
now blocking other sequence number reading readers from moving forward
by pretending to be a writer.
This patch tries to eliminate this inefficiency by introducing a new
type of locking reader to the seqlock locking mechanism. This new
locking reader will try to take an exclusive lock preventing other
writers and locking readers from going forward. However, it won't
affect the progress of the other sequence number reading readers as the
sequence number won't be changed.

Pull thermal management updates from Zhang Rui:
"We have a lot of SOC changes and a few thermal core fixes this time.
The biggest change is about exynos thermal driver restructure. The
patch set adds TMU (Thermal management Unit) driver support for
exynos5440 platform. There are 3 instances of the TMU controllers so
necessary cleanup/re-structure is done to handle multiple thermal
zone.
The next biggest change is the introduction of the imx thermal driver.
It adds the imx thermal support using Temperature Monitor (TEMPMON)
block found on some Freescale i.MX SoCs. The driver uses syscon
regmap interface to access TEMPMON control registers and calibration
data, and supports cpufreq as the cooling device.
Highlights:
- restructure exynos thermal driver.
- introduce new imx thermal driver.
- fix a bug in thermal core, which powers on the fans unexpectedly

There was a bug in the handling of SNB-EP/IVB-EP uncore PCI
fixed counters, e.g., IMC.
It would cause erratic values to be returned for the IMC
clockticks event. This was due to a bogus hwc->config value
which was then written to PCI config space.
The erratic values can be seen via:
$ perf stat -a -C 0 -e uncore_imc_0/clockticks/ -I 1000 sleep 10
The fixed counter has most fields marked as reserved with
hw reset values of 0. Yet the kernel was defaulting to a
hwc->config = ~0 and that was causing the issues.
This patch sets the hwc->config values for fixed uncore event
to 0. Now, the values of IMC clockticks is correct.

handle_trampoline() should decrement this counter every time we

is never decremented and the probed task can't report more than
