456f998ec8 memcg: add the pagefault count into memcg stats
Two new stats in per-memcg memory.stat which tracks the number of page
faults and number of major page faults.

  "pgfault"
  "pgmajfault"

They are different from "pgpgin"/"pgpgout" stat which count number of
pages charged/discharged to the cgroup and have no meaning of reading/
writing page to disk.

It is valuable to track the two stats for both measuring application's
performance as well as the efficiency of the kernel page reclaim path.
Counting pagefaults per process is useful, but we also need the aggregated
value since processes are monitored and controlled in cgroup basis in
memcg.

Functional test: check the total number of pgfault/pgmajfault of all
memcgs and compare with global vmstat value:

  $ cat /proc/vmstat | grep fault
  pgfault 1070751
  pgmajfault 553

  $ cat /dev/cgroup/memory.stat | grep fault
  pgfault 1071138
  pgmajfault 553
  total_pgfault 1071142
  total_pgmajfault 553

  $ cat /dev/cgroup/A/memory.stat | grep fault
  pgfault 199
  pgmajfault 0
  total_pgfault 199
  total_pgmajfault 0

Performance test: run page fault test(pft) wit 16 thread on faulting in
15G anon pages in 16G container.  There is no regression noticed on the
"flt/cpu/s"

Sample output from pft:

  TAG pft:anon-sys-default:
    Gb  Thr CLine   User     System     Wall    flt/cpu/s fault/wsec
    15   16   1     0.67s   233.41s    14.76s   16798.546 266356.260

406eb0c9ba memcg: add memory.numastat api for numa statistics
The new API exports numa_maps per-memcg basis.  This is a piece of useful
information where it exports per-memcg page distribution across real numa
nodes.

One of the usecases is evaluating application performance by combining
this information w/ the cpu allocation to the application.

The output of the memory.numastat tries to follow w/ simiar format of
numa_maps like:

  total=<total pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
  file=<total file pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
  anon=<total anon pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
  unevictable=<total anon pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...

And we have per-node:

  total = file + anon + unevictable

  $ cat /dev/cgroup/memory/memory.numa_stat
  total=250020 N0=87620 N1=52367 N2=45298 N3=64735
  file=225232 N0=83402 N1=46160 N2=40522 N3=55148
  anon=21053 N0=3424 N1=6207 N2=4776 N3=6646
  unevictable=3735 N0=794 N1=0 N2=0 N3=2941

4fd14ebf6e memcg: remove unused retry signal from reclaim
If the memcg reclaim code detects the target memcg below its limit it
exits and returns a guaranteed non-zero value so that the charge is
retried.

Nowadays, the charge side checks the memcg limit itself and does not rely
on this non-zero return value trick.

This patch removes it.  The reclaim code will now always return the true
number of pages it reclaimed on its own.

246e87a939 memcg: fix get_scan_count() for small targets
During memory reclaim we determine the number of pages to be scanned per
zone as

	(anon + file) >> priority.
Assume
	scan = (anon + file) >> priority.

If scan < SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, the scan will be skipped for this time and
priority gets higher.  This has some problems.

  1. This increases priority as 1 without any scan.
     To do scan in this priority, amount of pages should be larger than 512M.
     If pages>>priority < SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, it's recorded and scan will be
     batched, later. (But we lose 1 priority.)
     If memory size is below 16M, pages >> priority is 0 and no scan in
     DEF_PRIORITY forever.

  2. If zone->all_unreclaimabe==true, it's scanned only when priority==0.
     So, x86's ZONE_DMA will never be recoverred until the user of pages
     frees memory by itself.

  3. With memcg, the limit of memory can be small. When using small memcg,
     it gets priority < DEF_PRIORITY-2 very easily and need to call
     wait_iff_congested().
     For doing scan before priorty=9, 64MB of memory should be used.

Then, this patch tries to scan SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX of pages in force...when

  1. the target is enough small.
  2. it's kswapd or memcg reclaim.

Then we can avoid rapid priority drop and may be able to recover
all_unreclaimable in a small zones.  And this patch removes nr_saved_scan.
 This will allow scanning in this priority even when pages >> priority is
very small.

889976dbcb memcg: reclaim memory from nodes in round-robin order
Presently, memory cgroup's direct reclaim frees memory from the current
node.  But this has some troubles.  Usually when a set of threads works in
a cooperative way, they tend to operate on the same node.  So if they hit
limits under memcg they will reclaim memory from themselves, damaging the
active working set.

For example, assume 2 node system which has Node 0 and Node 1 and a memcg
which has 1G limit.  After some work, file cache remains and the usages
are

   Node 0:  1M
   Node 1:  998M.

and run an application on Node 0, it will eat its foot before freeing
unnecessary file caches.

This patch adds round-robin for NUMA and adds equal pressure to each node.
When using cpuset's spread memory feature, this will work very well.

But yes, a better algorithm is needed.

d149e3b25d memcg: add the soft_limit reclaim in global direct reclaim.
We recently added the change in global background reclaim which counts the
return value of soft_limit reclaim.  Now this patch adds the similar logic
on global direct reclaim.

We should skip scanning global LRU on shrink_zone if soft_limit reclaim
does enough work.  This is the first step where we start with counting the
nr_scanned and nr_reclaimed from soft_limit reclaim into global
scan_control.

0ae5e89c60 memcg: count the soft_limit reclaim in global background reclaim
The global kswapd scans per-zone LRU and reclaims pages regardless of the
cgroup. It breaks memory isolation since one cgroup can end up reclaiming
pages from another cgroup. Instead we should rely on memcg-aware target
reclaim including per-memcg kswapd and soft_limit hierarchical reclaim under
memory pressure.

In the global background reclaim, we do soft reclaim before scanning the
per-zone LRU. However, the return value is ignored. This patch is the first
step to skip shrink_zone() if soft_limit reclaim does enough work.

This is part of the effort which tries to reduce reclaiming pages in global
LRU in memcg. The per-memcg background reclaim patchset further enhances the
per-cgroup targetting reclaim, which I should have V4 posted shortly.

Try running multiple memory intensive workloads within seperate memcgs. Watch
the counters of soft_steal in memory.stat.

  $ cat /dev/cgroup/A/memory.stat | grep 'soft'
  soft_steal 240000
  soft_scan 240000
  total_soft_steal 240000
  total_soft_scan 240000

This patch:

In the global background reclaim, we do soft reclaim before scanning the
per-zone LRU.  However, the return value is ignored.

We would like to skip shrink_zone() if soft_limit reclaim does enough
work.  Also, we need to make the memory pressure balanced across per-memcg
zones, like the logic vm-core.  This patch is the first step where we
start with counting the nr_scanned and nr_reclaimed from soft_limit
reclaim into the global scan_control.

f780bdb7c1 cgroups: add per-thread subsystem callbacks
Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts

Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks
for cgroups's subsystem interface.  Unlike can_attach and attach, these
are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when
attaching an entire threadgroup.

Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by
this.  All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is
cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped
(though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to
attach_task and attach.

This is a pre-patch for cgroup-procs-writable.patch.

c515e1fd36 mm/fs: add hooks to support cleancache
This fourth patch of eight in this cleancache series provides the
core hooks in VFS for: initializing cleancache per filesystem;
capturing clean pages reclaimed by page cache; attempting to get
pages from cleancache before filesystem read; and ensuring coherency
between pagecache, disk, and cleancache.  Note that the placement
of these hooks was stable from 2.6.18 to 2.6.38; a minor semantic
change was required due to a patchset in 2.6.39.

All hooks become no-ops if CONFIG_CLEANCACHE is unset, or become
a check of a boolean global if CONFIG_CLEANCACHE is set but no
cleancache "backend" has claimed cleancache_ops.

077b1f83a6 mm: cleancache core ops functions and config
This third patch of eight in this cleancache series provides
the core code for cleancache that interfaces between the hooks in
VFS and individual filesystems and a cleancache backend.  It also
includes build and config patches.

Two new files are added: mm/cleancache.c and include/linux/cleancache.h.

Note that CONFIG_CLEANCACHE can default to on; in systems that do
not provide a cleancache backend, all hooks devolve to a simple
check of a global enable flag, so performance impact should
be negligible but can be reduced to zero impact if config'ed off.
However for this first commit, it defaults to off.

Details and a FAQ can be found in Documentation/vm/cleancache.txt

f67d9b1576 nommu: add page alignment to mmap
Currently on nommu arch mmap(),mremap() and munmap() doesn't do
page_align() which isn't consist with mmu arch and cause some issues.

First, some drivers' mmap() function depends on vma->vm_end - vma->start
is page aligned which is true on mmu arch but not on nommu.  eg: uvc
camera driver.

Second munmap() may return -EINVAL[split file] error in cases when end is
not page aligned(passed into from userspace) but vma->vm_end is aligned
dure to split or driver's mmap() ops.

Add page alignment to fix those issues.

eb709b0d06 mm: batch activate_page() to reduce lock contention
The zone->lru_lock is heavily contented in workload where activate_page()
is frequently used.  We could do batch activate_page() to reduce the lock
contention.  The batched pages will be added into zone list when the pool
is full or page reclaim is trying to drain them.

For example, in a 4 socket 64 CPU system, create a sparse file and 64
processes, processes shared map to the file.  Each process read access the
whole file and then exit.  The process exit will do unmap_vmas() and cause
a lot of activate_page() call.  In such workload, we saw about 58% total
time reduction with below patch.  Other workloads with a lot of
activate_page also benefits a lot too.

Andrew Morton suggested activate_page() and putback_lru_pages() should
follow the same path to active pages, but this is hard to implement (see
commit 7a608572a2 ("Revert "mm: batch activate_page() to reduce lock
contention")).  On the other hand, do we really need putback_lru_pages()
to follow the same path?  I tested several FIO/FFSB benchmark (about 20
scripts for each benchmark) in 3 machines here from 2 sockets to 4
sockets.  My test doesn't show anything significant with/without below
patch (there is slight difference but mostly some noise which we found
even without below patch before).  Below patch basically returns to the
same as my first post.

cfa54a0fcf mm/page_alloc.c: prevent unending loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath()
I believe I found a problem in __alloc_pages_slowpath, which allows a
process to get stuck endlessly looping, even when lots of memory is
available.

Running an I/O and memory intensive stress-test I see a 0-order page
allocation with __GFP_IO and __GFP_WAIT, running on a system with very
little free memory.  Right about the same time that the stress-test gets
killed by the OOM-killer, the utility trying to allocate memory gets stuck
in __alloc_pages_slowpath even though most of the systems memory was freed
by the oom-kill of the stress-test.

The utility ends up looping from the rebalance label down through the
wait_iff_congested continiously.  Because order=0,
__alloc_pages_direct_compact skips the call to get_page_from_freelist.
Because all of the reclaimable memory on the system has already been
reclaimed, __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim skips the call to
get_page_from_freelist.  Since there is no __GFP_FS flag, the block with
__alloc_pages_may_oom is skipped.  The loop hits the wait_iff_congested,
then jumps back to rebalance without ever trying to
get_page_from_freelist.  This loop repeats infinitely.

The test case is pretty pathological.  Running a mix of I/O stress-tests
that do a lot of fork() and consume all of the system memory, I can pretty
reliably hit this on 600 nodes, in about 12 hours.  32GB/node.

The noswapaccount parameter has been deprecated since 2.6.38 without any
complaints from users so we can remove it.  swapaccount=0|1 can be used
instead.

As we are removing the parameter we can also clean up swapaccount because
it doesn't have to accept an empty string anymore (to match noswapaccount)
and so we can push = into __setup macro rather than checking "=1" resp.
"=0" strings

f69ff943df mm: proc: move show_numa_map() to fs/proc/task_mmu.c
Moving show_numa_map() from mempolicy.c to task_mmu.c solves several
issues.

  - Having the show() operation "miles away" from the corresponding
    seq_file iteration operations is a maintenance burden.

  - The need to export ad hoc info like struct proc_maps_private is
    eliminated.

  - The implementation of show_numa_map() can be improved in a simple
    manner by cooperating with the other seq_file operations (start,
    stop, etc) -- something that would be messy to do without this
    change.

b09e0fa4b4 tmpfs: implement generic xattr support
Implement generic xattrs for tmpfs filesystems.  The Feodra project, while
trying to replace suid apps with file capabilities, realized that tmpfs,
which is used on the build systems, does not support file capabilities and
thus cannot be used to build packages which use file capabilities.  Xattrs
are also needed for overlayfs.

The xattr interface is a bit odd.  If a filesystem does not implement any
{get,set,list}xattr functions the VFS will call into some random LSM hooks
and the running LSM can then implement some method for handling xattrs.
SELinux for example provides a method to support security.selinux but no
other security.* xattrs.

As it stands today when one enables CONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_ACL tmpfs will have
xattr handler routines specifically to handle acls.  Because of this tmpfs
would loose the VFS/LSM helpers to support the running LSM.  To make up
for that tmpfs had stub functions that did nothing but call into the LSM
hooks which implement the helpers.

This new patch does not use the LSM fallback functions and instead just
implements a native get/set/list xattr feature for the full security.* and
trusted.* namespace like a normal filesystem.  This means that tmpfs can
now support both security.selinux and security.capability, which was not
previously possible.

The basic implementation is that I attach a:

struct shmem_xattr {
	struct list_head list; /* anchored by shmem_inode_info->xattr_list */
	char *name;
	size_t size;
	char value[0];
};

Into the struct shmem_inode_info for each xattr that is set.  This
implementation could easily support the user.* namespace as well, except
some care needs to be taken to prevent large amounts of unswappable memory
being allocated for unprivileged users.

2cbea1d3ab readahead: trigger mmap sequential readahead on PG_readahead
Previously the mmap sequential readahead is triggered by updating
ra->prev_pos on each page fault and compare it with current page offset.

It costs dirtying the cache line on each _minor_ page fault.  So remove
the ra->prev_pos recording, and instead tag PG_readahead to trigger the
possible sequential readahead.  It's not only more simple, but also will
work more reliably and reduce cache line bouncing on concurrent page
faults on shared struct file.

In the mosbench exim benchmark which does multi-threaded page faults on
shared struct file, the ra->mmap_miss and ra->prev_pos updates are found
to cause excessive cache line bouncing on tmpfs, which actually disabled
readahead totally (shmem_backing_dev_info.ra_pages == 0).

So remove the ra->prev_pos recording, and instead tag PG_readahead to
trigger the possible sequential readahead.  It's not only more simple, but

207d04baa3 readahead: reduce unnecessary mmap_miss increases
The original INT_MAX is too large, reduce it to

- avoid unnecessarily dirtying/bouncing the cache line

- restore mmap read-around faster on changed access pattern

Background: in the mosbench exim benchmark which does multi-threaded page
faults on shared struct file, the ra->mmap_miss updates are found to cause
excessive cache line bouncing on tmpfs.  The ra state updates are needless

6d3163ce86 mm: check if any page in a pageblock is reserved before marking it MIGRATE_RESERVE
This fixes a problem where the first pageblock got marked MIGRATE_RESERVE
even though it only had a few free pages.  eg, On current ARM port, The
kernel starts at offset 0x8000 to leave room for boot parameters, and the
memory is freed later.

This in turn caused no contiguous memory to be reserved and frequent
kswapd wakeups that emptied the caches to get more contiguous memory.

Unfortunatelly, ARM needs order-2 allocation for pgd (see
arm/mm/pgd.c#pgd_alloc()).  Therefore the issue is not minor nor easy
avoidable.

0c917313a8 mm: strictly require elevated page refcount in isolate_lru_page()
isolate_lru_page() must be called only with stable reference to the page,
this is what is written in the comment above it, this is reasonable.

current isolate_lru_page() users and its page extra reference sources:

 mm/huge_memory.c:
  __collapse_huge_page_isolate()	- reference from pte

 mm/memcontrol.c:
  mem_cgroup_move_parent()		- get_page_unless_zero()
  mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range()	- reference from pte

 mm/memory-failure.c:
  soft_offline_page()			- fixed, reference from get_any_page()
  delete_from_lru_cache() - reference from caller or get_page_unless_zero()
	[ seems like there bug, because __memory_failure() can call
	  page_action() for hpages tail, but it is ok for
	  isolate_lru_page(), tail getted and not in lru]

 mm/memory_hotplug.c:
  do_migrate_range()			- fixed, get_page_unless_zero()

 mm/mempolicy.c:
  migrate_page_add()			- reference from pte

 mm/migrate.c:
  do_move_page_to_node_array()		- reference from follow_page()

 mlock.c:				- various external references

 mm/vmscan.c:
  putback_lru_page()			- reference from isolate_lru_page()

It seems that all isolate_lru_page() users are ready now for this
restriction.  So, let's replace redundant get_page_unless_zero() with
get_page() and add page initial reference count check with VM_BUG_ON()

22943ab116 mm: print vmalloc() state after allocation failures
I was tracking down a page allocation failure that ended up in vmalloc().
Since vmalloc() uses 0-order pages, if somebody asks for an insane amount
of memory, we'll still get a warning with "order:0" in it.  That's not
very useful.

During recovery, vmalloc() also nicely frees all of the memory that it got
up to the point of the failure.  That is wonderful, but it also quickly
hides any issues.  We have a much different sitation if vmalloc()
repeatedly fails 10GB in to:

	vmalloc(100 * 1<<30);

versus repeatedly failing 4096 bytes in to a:

	vmalloc(8192);

This patch will print out messages that look like this:

[   68.123503] vmalloc: allocation failure, allocated 6680576 of 13426688 bytes
[   68.124218] bash: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0xd2
[   68.124811] Pid: 3770, comm: bash Not tainted 2.6.39-rc3-00082-g85f2e68-dirty #333
[   68.125579] Call Trace:
[   68.125853]  [<ffffffff810f6da6>] warn_alloc_failed+0x146/0x170
[   68.126464]  [<ffffffff8107e05c>] ? printk+0x6c/0x70
[   68.126791]  [<ffffffff8112b5d4>] ? alloc_pages_current+0x94/0xe0
[   68.127661]  [<ffffffff8111ed37>] __vmalloc_node_range+0x237/0x290
...

The 'order' variable is added for clarity when calling warn_alloc_failed()
to avoid having an unexplained '0' as an argument.

The 'tmp_mask' is because adding an open-coded '| __GFP_NOWARN' would take
us over 80 columns for the alloc_pages_node() call.  If we are going to
add a line, it might as well be one that makes the sucker easier to read.

As a side issue, I also noticed that ctl_ioctl() does vmalloc() based
solely on an unverified value passed in from userspace.  Granted, it's
under CAP_SYS_ADMIN, but it still frightens me a bit.

a238ab5b02 mm: break out page allocation warning code
This originally started as a simple patch to give vmalloc() some more
verbose output on failure on top of the plain page allocator messages.
Johannes suggested that it might be nicer to lead with the vmalloc() info
_before_ the page allocator messages.

But, I do think there's a lot of value in what __alloc_pages_slowpath()
does with its filtering and so forth.

This patch creates a new function which other allocators can call instead
of relying on the internal page allocator warnings.  It also gives this
function private rate-limiting which separates it from other
printk_ratelimit() users.

de03c72cfc mm: convert mm->cpu_vm_cpumask into cpumask_var_t
cpumask_t is very big struct and cpu_vm_mask is placed wrong position.
It might lead to reduce cache hit ratio.

This patch has two change.
1) Move the place of cpumask into last of mm_struct. Because usually cpumask
   is accessed only front bits when the system has cpu-hotplug capability
2) Convert cpu_vm_mask into cpumask_var_t. It may help to reduce memory
   footprint if cpumask_size() will use nr_cpumask_bits properly in future.

In addition, this patch change the name of cpu_vm_mask with cpu_vm_mask_var.
It may help to detect out of tree cpu_vm_mask users.

This patch has no functional change.

97a894136f mm: Remove i_mmap_lock lockbreak
Hugh says:
 "The only significant loser, I think, would be page reclaim (when
  concurrent with truncation): could spin for a long time waiting for
  the i_mmap_mutex it expects would soon be dropped? "

Counter points:
 - cpu contention makes the spin stop (need_resched())
 - zap pages should be freeing pages at a higher rate than reclaim
   ever can

I think the simplification of the truncate code is definitely worth it.

Effectively reverts: 2aa15890f3 ("mm: prevent concurrent
unmap_mapping_range() on the same inode") and takes out the code that
caused its problem.

2672391169 mm, powerpc: move the RCU page-table freeing into generic code
In case other architectures require RCU freed page-tables to implement
gup_fast() and software filled hashes and similar things, provide the
means to do so by moving the logic into generic code.

d16dfc550f mm: mmu_gather rework
Rework the existing mmu_gather infrastructure.

The direct purpose of these patches was to allow preemptible mmu_gather,
but even without that I think these patches provide an improvement to the
status quo.

The first 9 patches rework the mmu_gather infrastructure.  For review
purpose I've split them into generic and per-arch patches with the last of
those a generic cleanup.

The next patch provides generic RCU page-table freeing, and the followup
is a patch converting s390 to use this.  I've also got 4 patches from
DaveM lined up (not included in this series) that uses this to implement
gup_fast() for sparc64.

Then there is one patch that extends the generic mmu_gather batching.

After that follow the mm preemptibility patches, these make part of the mm
a lot more preemptible.  It converts i_mmap_lock and anon_vma->lock to
mutexes which together with the mmu_gather rework makes mmu_gather
preemptible as well.

Making i_mmap_lock a mutex also enables a clean-up of the truncate code.

This also allows for preemptible mmu_notifiers, something that XPMEM I
think wants.

Furthermore, it removes the new and universially detested unmap_mutex.

This patch:

Remove the first obstacle towards a fully preemptible mmu_gather.

The current scheme assumes mmu_gather is always done with preemption
disabled and uses per-cpu storage for the page batches.  Change this to
try and allocate a page for batching and in case of failure, use a small
on-stack array to make some progress.

Preemptible mmu_gather is desired in general and usable once i_mmap_lock
becomes a mutex.  Doing it before the mutex conversion saves us from
having to rework the code by moving the mmu_gather bits inside the
pte_lock.

Also avoid flushing the tlb batches from under the pte lock, this is
useful even without the i_mmap_lock conversion as it significantly reduces
pte lock hold times.

d05f3169c0 mm: make expand_downwards() symmetrical with expand_upwards()
Currently we have expand_upwards exported while expand_downwards is
accessible only via expand_stack or expand_stack_downwards.

check_stack_guard_page is a nice example of the asymmetry.  It uses
expand_stack for VM_GROWSDOWN while expand_upwards is called for
VM_GROWSUP case.

Let's clean this up by exporting both functions and make those names
consistent.  Let's use expand_{upwards,downwards} because expanding
doesn't always involve stack manipulation (an example is
ia64_do_page_fault which uses expand_upwards for registers backing store
expansion).  expand_downwards has to be defined for both
CONFIG_STACK_GROWS{UP,DOWN} because get_arg_page calls the downwards
version in the early process initialization phase for growsup
configuration.

248ac0e194 mm/vmalloc: remove guard page from between vmap blocks
The vmap allocator is used to, among other things, allocate per-cpu vmap
blocks, where each vmap block is naturally aligned to its own size.
Obviously, leaving a guard page after each vmap area forbids packing vmap
blocks efficiently and can make the kernel run out of possible vmap blocks
long before overall vmap space is exhausted.

The new interface to map a user-supplied page array into linear vmalloc
space (vm_map_ram) insists on allocating from a vmap block (instead of
falling back to a custom area) when the area size is below a certain
threshold.  With heavy users of this interface (e.g.  XFS) and limited
vmalloc space on 32-bit, vmap block exhaustion is a real problem.

Remove the guard page from the core vmap allocator.  vmalloc and the old
vmap interface enforce a guard page on their own at a higher level.

Note that without this patch, we had accidental guard pages after those
vm_map_ram areas that happened to be at the end of a vmap block, but not
between every area.  This patch removes this accidental guard page only.

If we want guard pages after every vm_map_ram area, this should be done
separately.  And just like with vmalloc and the old interface on a
different level, not in the core allocator.

Mel pointed out: "If necessary, the guard page could be reintroduced as a
debugging-only option (CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC?).  Otherwise it seems
reasonable."

72788c3856 oom: replace PF_OOM_ORIGIN with toggling oom_score_adj
There's a kernel-wide shortage of per-process flags, so it's always
helpful to trim one when possible without incurring a significant penalty.
 It's even more important when you're planning on adding a per- process
flag yourself, which I plan to do shortly for transparent hugepages.

PF_OOM_ORIGIN is used by ksm and swapoff to prefer current since it has a
tendency to allocate large amounts of memory and should be preferred for
killing over other tasks.  We'd rather immediately kill the task making
the errant syscall rather than penalizing an innocent task.

This patch removes PF_OOM_ORIGIN since its behavior is equivalent to
setting the process's oom_score_adj to OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX.

The process's old oom_score_adj is stored and then set to
OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX during the time it used to have PF_OOM_ORIGIN.  The old
value is then reinstated when the process should no longer be considered a
high priority for oom killing.

c6a140bf16 mm/compaction: reverse the change that forbade sync migraton with __GFP_NO_KSWAPD
It's uncertain this has been beneficial, so it's safer to undo it.  All
other compaction users would still go in synchronous mode if a first
attempt at async compaction failed.  Hopefully we don't need to force
special behavior for THP (which is the only __GFP_NO_KSWAPD user so far
and it's the easier to exercise and to be noticeable).  This also make
__GFP_NO_KSWAPD return to its original strict semantics specific to bypass
kswapd, as THP allocations have khugepaged for the async THP
allocations/compactions.

37b23e0525 x86,mm: make pagefault killable
When an oom killing occurs, almost all processes are getting stuck at the
following two points.

	1) __alloc_pages_nodemask
	2) __lock_page_or_retry

1) is not very problematic because TIF_MEMDIE leads to an allocation
failure and getting out from page allocator.

2) is more problematic.  In an OOM situation, zones typically don't have
page cache at all and memory starvation might lead to greatly reduced IO
performance.  When a fork bomb occurs, TIF_MEMDIE tasks don't die quickly,
meaning that a fork bomb may create new process quickly rather than the
oom-killer killing it.  Then, the system may become livelocked.

This patch makes the pagefault interruptible by SIGKILL.

6038def0d1 mm: nommu: sort mm->mmap list properly
When I was reading nommu code, I found that it handles the vma list/tree
in an unusual way.  IIUC, because there can be more than one
identical/overrapped vmas in the list/tree, it sorts the tree more
strictly and does a linear search on the tree.  But it doesn't applied to
the list (i.e.  the list could be constructed in a different order than
the tree so that we can't use the list when finding the first vma in that
order).

Since inserting/sorting a vma in the tree and link is done at the same
time, we can easily construct both of them in the same order.  And linear
searching on the tree could be more costly than doing it on the list, it
can be converted to use the list.

Also, after the commit 297c5eee37 ("mm: make the vma list be doubly
linked") made the list be doubly linked, there were a couple of code need
to be fixed to construct the list properly.

Patch 1/6 is a preparation.  It maintains the list sorted same as the tree
and construct doubly-linked list properly.  Patch 2/6 is a simple
optimization for the vma deletion.  Patch 3/6 and 4/6 convert tree
traversal to list traversal and the rest are simple fixes and cleanups.

This patch:

@vma added into @mm should be sorted by start addr, end addr and VMA
struct addr in that order because we may get identical VMAs in the @mm.
However this was true only for the rbtree, not for the list.

This patch fixes this by remembering 'rb_prev' during the tree traversal
like find_vma_prepare() does and linking the @vma via __vma_link_list().
After this patch, we can iterate the whole VMAs in correct order simply by
using @mm->mmap list.

Avoid merging a VMA with another VMA which is cloned from the parent process.

The cloned VMA shares the anon_vma lock with the parent process's VMA.  If
we do the merge, more vmas (even the new range is only for current

scalability issues.  find_mergeable_anon_vma() already considers this

'insert' isn't NULL, which is the case of split_vma.

As I understand it, we need the lock before because rmap must get the
'insert' VMA when we adjust old VMA's vm_end (the 'insert' VMA is linked
to anon_vma list in __insert_vm_struct before).

But now this isn't true any more.  The 'insert' VMA is already linked to
anon_vma list in __split_vma(with anon_vma_clone()) instead of
__insert_vm_struct.  There is no race rmap can't get required VMAs.  So
the anon_vma lock is unnecessary, and this can reduce one locking in brk
case and improve scalability.

7bf02ea22c arch, mm: filter disallowed nodes from arch specific show_mem functions
Architectures that implement their own show_mem() function did not pass
the filter argument to show_free_areas() to appropriately avoid emitting
the state of nodes that are disallowed in the current context.  This patch
now passes the filter argument to show_free_areas() so those nodes are now
avoided.

This patch also removes the show_free_areas() wrapper around
__show_free_areas() and converts existing callers to pass an empty filter.

ia64 emits additional information for each node, so skip_free_areas_zone()
must be made global to filter disallowed nodes and it is converted to use
a nid argument rather than a zone for this use case.

f06590bd71 mm: vmscan: correctly check if reclaimer should schedule during shrink_slab
It has been reported on some laptops that kswapd is consuming large
amounts of CPU and not being scheduled when SLUB is enabled during large
amounts of file copying.  It is expected that this is due to kswapd
missing every cond_resched() point because;

shrink_page_list() calls cond_resched() if inactive pages were isolated
        which in turn may not happen if all_unreclaimable is set in
        shrink_zones(). If for whatver reason, all_unreclaimable is
        set on all zones, we can miss calling cond_resched().

balance_pgdat() only calls cond_resched if the zones are not
        balanced. For a high-order allocation that is balanced, it
        checks order-0 again. During that window, order-0 might have
        become unbalanced so it loops again for order-0 and returns
        that it was reclaiming for order-0 to kswapd(). It can then
        find that a caller has rewoken kswapd for a high-order and
        re-enters balance_pgdat() without ever calling cond_resched().

shrink_slab only calls cond_resched() if we are reclaiming slab
	pages. If there are a large number of direct reclaimers, the
	shrinker_rwsem can be contended and prevent kswapd calling
	cond_resched().

This patch modifies the shrink_slab() case.  If the semaphore is
contended, the caller will still check cond_resched().  After each
successful call into a shrinker, the check for cond_resched() remains in
case one shrinker is particularly slow.

afc7e326a3 mm: vmscan: correct use of pgdat_balanced in sleeping_prematurely
There are a few reports of people experiencing hangs when copying large
amounts of data with kswapd using a large amount of CPU which appear to be
due to recent reclaim changes.  SLUB using high orders is the trigger but
not the root cause as SLUB has been using high orders for a while.  The
root cause was bugs introduced into reclaim which are addressed by the
following two patches.

Patch 1 corrects logic introduced by commit 1741c877 ("mm: kswapd:
        keep kswapd awake for high-order allocations until a percentage of
        the node is balanced") to allow kswapd to go to sleep when
        balanced for high orders.

Patch 2 notes that it is possible for kswapd to miss every
        cond_resched() and updates shrink_slab() so it'll at least reach
        that scheduling point.

Chris Wood reports that these two patches in isolation are sufficient to
prevent the system hanging.  AFAIK, they should also resolve similar hangs
experienced by James Bottomley.

This patch:

Johannes Weiner poined out that the logic in commit 1741c877 ("mm: kswapd:
keep kswapd awake for high-order allocations until a percentage of the
node is balanced") is backwards.  Instead of allowing kswapd to go to
sleep when balancing for high order allocations, it keeps it kswapd
running uselessly.

a71ae47a2c slub: Fix double bit unlock in debug mode
Commit 442b06bcea ("slub: Remove node check in slab_free") added a
call to deactivate_slab() in the debug case in __slab_alloc(), which
unlocks the current slab used for allocation.  Going to the label
'unlock_out' then does it again.

Also, in the debug case we do not need all the other processing that the
'unlock_out' path does.  We always fall back to the slow path in the
debug case.  So the tid update is useless.

Similarly, ALLOC_SLOWPATH would just be incremented for all allocations.
Also a pretty useless thing.

So simply restore irq flags and return the object.

2d42552d1c [S390] merge page_test_dirty and page_clear_dirty
The page_clear_dirty primitive always sets the default storage key
which resets the access control bits and the fetch protection bit.
That will surprise a KVM guest that sets non-zero access control
bits or the fetch protection bit. Merge page_test_dirty and
page_clear_dirty back to a single function and only clear the
dirty bit from the storage key.

In addition move the function page_test_and_clear_dirty and
page_test_and_clear_young to page.h where they belong. This
requires to change the parameter from a struct page * to a page
frame number.

Gets rid of one check in slab_free() that was only used for

We still need to set c->node to NUMA_NO_NODE to force the
slab_alloc() fastpath to the slowpath in case of debugging.

Commit e66eed651f ("list: remove prefetching from regular list

obscure header file dependency.

So this fixes things up a bit, using

   grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
   grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')

to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h>
inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.

There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets
many core ones.
