40f6123737 Merge branch 'for-3.16-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "Mostly fixes for the fallouts from the recent cgroup core changes.

  The decoupled nature of cgroup dynamic hierarchy management
  (hierarchies are created dynamically on mount but may or may not be
  reused once unmounted depending on remaining usages) led to more
  ugliness being added to kernfs.

  Hopefully, this is the last of it"

* 'for-3.16-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup:
  cpuset: break kernfs active protection in cpuset_write_resmask()
  cgroup: fix a race between cgroup_mount() and cgroup_kill_sb()
  kernfs: introduce kernfs_pin_sb()
  cgroup: fix mount failure in a corner case

66d2f4d28c shmem: fix init_page_accessed use to stop !PageLRU bug
Under shmem swapping load, I sometimes hit the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageLRU)
in isolate_lru_pages() at mm/vmscan.c:1281!

Commit 2457aec637 ("mm: non-atomically mark page accessed during page
cache allocation where possible") looks like interrupted work-in-progress.

mm/filemap.c's call to init_page_accessed() is fine, but not mm/shmem.c's
- shmem_write_begin() is clearly wrong to use it after shmem_getpage(),
when the page is always visible in radix_tree, and often already on LRU.

Revert change to shmem_write_begin(), and use init_page_accessed() or
mark_page_accessed() appropriately for SGP_WRITE in shmem_getpage_gfp().

SGP_WRITE also covers shmem_symlink(), which did not mark_page_accessed()
before; but since many other filesystems use [__]page_symlink(), which did
and does mark the page accessed, consider this as rectifying an oversight.

0bc1f8b068 hwpoison: fix the handling path of the victimized page frame that belong to non-LRU
Until now, the kernel has the same policy to handle victimized page
frames that belong to kernel-space(reserved/slab-subsystem) or
non-LRU(unknown page state).  In other word, the result of handling
either of these victimized page frames is (IGNORED | FAILED), and the
return value of memory_failure() is -EBUSY.

This patch is to avoid that memory_failure() returns very soon due to
the "true" value of (!PageLRU(p)), and it also ensures that
action_result() can report more precise information("reserved kernel",
"kernel slab", and "unknown page state") instead of "non LRU",
especially for memory errors which are detected by memory-scrubbing.

Andi said:

: While running the mcelog test suite on 3.14 I hit the following VM_BUG_ON:
:
: soft_offline: 0x56d4: unknown non LRU page type 3ffff800008000
: page:ffffea000015b400 count:3 mapcount:2097169 mapping:          (null) index:0xffff8800056d7000
: page flags: 0x3ffff800004081(locked|slab|head)
: ------------[ cut here ]------------
: kernel BUG at mm/rmap.c:1495!
:
: I think what happened is that a LRU page turned into a slab page in
: parallel with offlining.  memory_failure initially tests for this case,
: but doesn't retest later after the page has been locked.
:
: ...
:
: I ran this patch in a loop over night with some stress plus
: the mcelog test suite running in a loop. I cannot guarantee it hit it,
: but it should have given it a good beating.
:
: The kernel survived with no messages, although the mcelog test suite
: got killed at some point because it couldn't fork anymore. Probably
: some unrelated problem.
:
: So the patch is ok for me for .16.

8a5b20aeba slub: fix off by one in number of slab tests
min_partial means minimum number of slab cached in node partial list.
So, if nr_partial is less than it, we keep newly empty slab on node
partial list rather than freeing it.  But if nr_partial is equal or
greater than it, it means that we have enough partial slabs so should
free newly empty slab.  Current implementation missed the equal case so
if we set min_partial is 0, then, at least one slab could be cached.
This is critical problem to kmemcg destroying logic because it doesn't
works properly if some slabs is cached.  This patch fixes this problem.

Fixes 91cb69620284 ("slub: make dead memcg caches discard free slabs
immediately").

dc78327c0e mm: page_alloc: fix CMA area initialisation when pageblock > MAX_ORDER

This happens because init_cma_reserved_pageblock() calls
__free_one_page() with pageblock_order as page order but it is bigger
than MAX_ORDER.  This in turn causes accesses past zone->free_list[].

Fix the problem by changing init_cma_reserved_pageblock() such that it
splits pageblock into individual MAX_ORDER pages if pageblock is bigger
than a MAX_ORDER page.

In cases where !CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE, which is all
architectures expect for ia64, powerpc and tile at the moment, the
“pageblock_order > MAX_ORDER” condition will be optimised out since both
sides of the operator are constants.  In cases where pageblock size is
variable, the performance degradation should not be significant anyway
since init_cma_reserved_pageblock() is called only at boot time at most
MAX_CMA_AREAS times which by default is eight.

The cause is that cpuset_mems_allowed() try to take
mutex_lock(&callback_mutex) under the rcu_read_lock(which was hold in
__mpol_dup()). And in cpuset_mems_allowed(), the access to cpuset is
under rcu_read_lock, so in __mpol_dup, we can reduce the rcu_read_lock
protection region to protect the access to cpuset only in
current_cpuset_is_being_rebound(). So that we can avoid this bug.

This patch is a temporary solution that just addresses the bug
mentioned above, can not fix the long-standing issue about cpuset.mems
rebinding on fork():

"When the forker's task_struct is duplicated (which includes
 ->mems_allowed) and it races with an update to cpuset_being_rebound
 in update_tasks_nodemask() then the task's mems_allowed doesn't get
 updated. And the child task's mems_allowed can be wrong if the
 cpuset's nodemask changes before the child has been added to the
 cgroup's tasklist."

d05f0cdcbe mm: fix crashes from mbind() merging vmas
In v2.6.34 commit 9d8cebd4bc ("mm: fix mbind vma merge problem")
introduced vma merging to mbind(), but it should have also changed the
convention of passing start vma from queue_pages_range() (formerly
check_range()) to new_vma_page(): vma merging may have already freed
that structure, resulting in BUG at mm/mempolicy.c:1738 and probably
worse crashes.

0378730142 slab: fix oops when reading /proc/slab_allocators
Commit b1cb0982bd ("change the management method of free objects of
the slab") introduced a bug on slab leak detector
('/proc/slab_allocators').  This detector works like as following
decription.

 1. traverse all objects on all the slabs.
 2. determine whether it is active or not.
 3. if active, print who allocate this object.

but that commit changed the way how to manage free objects, so the logic
determining whether it is active or not is also changed.  In before, we
regard object in cpu caches as inactive one, but, with this commit, we
mistakenly regard object in cpu caches as active one.

This intoduces kernel oops if DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled.  If
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled, kernel_map_pages() is used to detect who
corrupt free memory in the slab.  It unmaps page table mapping if object
is free and map it if object is active.  When slab leak detector check
object in cpu caches, it mistakenly think this object active so try to
access object memory to retrieve caller of allocation.  At this point,
page table mapping to this object doesn't exist, so oops occurs.

Following is oops message reported from Dave.

It blew up when something tried to read /proc/slab_allocators
(Just cat it, and you should see the oops below)

  Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC

To fix the problem, I introduce an object status buffer on each slab.
With this, we can track object status precisely, so slab leak detector
would not access active object and no kernel oops would occur.  Memory
overhead caused by this fix is only imposed to CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK
which is mainly used for debugging, so memory overhead isn't big
problem.

f00cdc6df7 shmem: fix faulting into a hole while it's punched
Trinity finds that mmap access to a hole while it's punched from shmem
can prevent the madvise(MADV_REMOVE) or fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE)
from completing, until the reader chooses to stop; with the puncher's
hold on i_mutex locking out all other writers until it can complete.

It appears that the tmpfs fault path is too light in comparison with its
hole-punching path, lacking an i_data_sem to obstruct it; but we don't
want to slow down the common case.

Extend shmem_fallocate()'s existing range notification mechanism, so
shmem_fault() can refrain from faulting pages into the hole while it's
punched, waiting instead on i_mutex (when safe to sleep; or repeatedly
faulting when not).

I believe this comes about because, whereas collapsing and splitting THP
functions take anon_vma lock in write mode (which excludes concurrent
rmap walks), faulting THP functions (write protection and misplaced
NUMA) do not - and mostly they do not need to.

But they do use a pmdp_clear_flush(), set_pmd_at() sequence which, for
an instant (indeed, for a long instant, given the inter-CPU TLB flush in
there), leaves *pmd neither present not trans_huge.

Which can confuse a concurrent rmap walk, as when removing migration
ptes, seen in the dumped trace.  Although that rmap walk has a 4k page
to insert, anon_vmas containing THPs are in no way segregated from
4k-page anon_vmas, so the 4k-intent mm_find_pmd() does need to cope with
that instant when a trans_huge pmd is temporarily absent.

I don't think we need strengthen the locking at the THP end: it's easily
handled with an ACCESS_ONCE() before testing both conditions.

And since mm_find_pmd() had only one caller who wanted a THP rather than
a pmd, let's slightly repurpose it to fail when it hits a THP or
non-present pmd, and open code split_huge_page_address() again.

5338a93722 mm: thp: fix DEBUG_PAGEALLOC oops in copy_page_rep()
Trinity has for over a year been reporting a CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC oops
in copy_page_rep() called from copy_user_huge_page() called from
do_huge_pmd_wp_page().

I believe this is a DEBUG_PAGEALLOC false positive, due to the source
page being split, and a tail page freed, while copy is in progress; and
not a problem without DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, since the pmd_same() check will
prevent a miscopy from being made visible.

Fix by adding get_user_huge_page() and put_user_huge_page(): reducing to
the usual get_page() and put_page() on head page in the usual config;
but get and put references to all of the tail pages when
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.

7cd2b0a34a mm, pcp: allow restoring percpu_pagelist_fraction default

However, if the percpu_pagelist_fraction sysctl is set by the user, it
is also impossible to restore it to the kernel default since the user
cannot write 0 to the sysctl.

This patch allows the user to write 0 to restore the default behavior.
It still requires a fraction equal to or larger than 8, however, as
stated by the documentation for sanity.  If a value in the range [1, 7]
is written, the sysctl will return EINVAL.

This successfully solves the divide by zero issue at the same time.

4a705fef98 hugetlb: fix copy_hugetlb_page_range() to handle migration/hwpoisoned entry
There's a race between fork() and hugepage migration, as a result we try
to "dereference" a swap entry as a normal pte, causing kernel panic.
The cause of the problem is that copy_hugetlb_page_range() can't handle
"swap entry" family (migration entry and hwpoisoned entry) so let's fix
it.

05064084e8 fix __swap_writepage() compile failure on old gcc versions
Tetsuo Handa wrote:
 "Commit 62a8067a7f ("bio_vec-backed iov_iter") introduced an unnamed
  union inside a struct which gcc-4.4.7 cannot handle.  Name the unnamed
   union as u in order to fix build failure"

Let's do this instead: there is only one place in the entire tree that
steps into this breakage.  Anon structs and unions work in older gcc
versions; as the matter of fact, we have those in the tree - see e.g.
struct ieee80211_tx_info in include/net/mac80211.h

What doesn't work is handling their initializers:

struct {
	int a;
	union {
		int b;
		char c;
	};
} x[2] = {{.a = 1, .c = 'a'}, {.a = 0, .b = 1}};

is the obvious syntax for initializer, perfectly fine for C11 and
handled correctly by gcc-4.7 or later.

Earlier versions, though, break on it - declaration is fine and so's
access to fields (i.e.  x[0].c = 'a'; would produce the right code), but
members of the anon structs and unions are not inserted into the right
namespace.  Tellingly, those older versions will not barf on struct {int
a; struct {int a;};}; - looks like they just have it hacked up somewhere
around the handling of .  and -> instead of doing the right thing.

The easiest way to deal with that crap is to turn initialization of
those fields (in the only place where we have such initializer of
iov_iter) into plain assignment.

b738d76465 Don't trigger congestion wait on dirty-but-not-writeout pages
shrink_inactive_list() used to wait 0.1s to avoid congestion when all
the pages that were isolated from the inactive list were dirty but not
under active writeback.  That makes no real sense, and apparently causes
major interactivity issues under some loads since 3.11.

The ostensible reason for it was to wait for kswapd to start writing
pages, but that seems questionable as well, since the congestion wait
code seems to trigger for kswapd itself as well.  Also, the logic behind
delaying anything when we haven't actually started writeback is not
clear - it only delays actually starting that writeback.

We'll still trigger the congestion waiting if

 (a) the process is kswapd, and we hit pages flagged for immediate
     reclaim

 (b) the process is not kswapd, and the zone backing dev writeback is
     actually congested.

This probably needs to be revisited, but as it is this fixes a reported
regression.

printk is meant to be used with an associated log level.  There are some
instances of printk scattered around the mm code where the log level is
missing.  Add a log level and adhere to suggestions by
scripts/checkpatch.pl by moving to the pr_* macros.

Also add the typical pr_fmt definition so that print statements can be
easily traced back to the modules where they occur, correlated one with
another, etc.  This will require the removal of some (now redundant)
prefixes on a few print statements.

33041a0d76 mm: mark remap_file_pages() syscall as deprecated
The remap_file_pages() system call is used to create a nonlinear
mapping, that is, a mapping in which the pages of the file are mapped
into a nonsequential order in memory.  The advantage of using
remap_file_pages() over using repeated calls to mmap(2) is that the
former approach does not require the kernel to create additional VMA
(Virtual Memory Area) data structures.

Supporting of nonlinear mapping requires significant amount of
non-trivial code in kernel virtual memory subsystem including hot paths.
Also to get nonlinear mapping work kernel need a way to distinguish
normal page table entries from entries with file offset (pte_file).
Kernel reserves flag in PTE for this purpose.  PTE flags are scarce
resource especially on some CPU architectures.  It would be nice to free
up the flag for other usage.

Fortunately, there are not many users of remap_file_pages() in the wild.
It's only known that one enterprise RDBMS implementation uses the
syscall on 32-bit systems to map files bigger than can linearly fit into
32-bit virtual address space.  This use-case is not critical anymore
since 64-bit systems are widely available.

The plan is to deprecate the syscall and replace it with an emulation.
The emulation will create new VMAs instead of nonlinear mappings.  It's
going to work slower for rare users of remap_file_pages() but ABI is
preserved.

One side effect of emulation (apart from performance) is that user can
hit vm.max_map_count limit more easily due to additional VMAs.  See
comment for DEFAULT_MAX_MAP_COUNT for more details on the limit.

Memcg zoneinfo lookup sites have either the page, the zone, or the node
id and zone index, but sites that only have the zone have to look up the
node id and zone index themselves, whereas sites that already have those
two integers use a function for a simple pointer chase.

Provide mem_cgroup_zone_zoneinfo() that takes a zone pointer and let
sites that already have node id and zone index - all for each node, for
each zone iterators - use &memcg->nodeinfo[nid]->zoneinfo[zid].

Rename page_cgroup_zoneinfo() to mem_cgroup_page_zoneinfo() to match.

688eb988d1 vmscan: memcg: always use swappiness of the reclaimed memcg
Memory reclaim always uses swappiness of the reclaim target memcg
(origin of the memory pressure) or vm_swappiness for global memory
reclaim.  This behavior was consistent (except for difference between
global and hard limit reclaim) because swappiness was enforced to be
consistent within each memcg hierarchy.

After "mm: memcontrol: remove hierarchy restrictions for swappiness and
oom_control" each memcg can have its own swappiness independent of
hierarchical parents, though, so the consistency guarantee is gone.
This can lead to an unexpected behavior.  Say that a group is explicitly
configured to not swapout by memory.swappiness=0 but its memory gets
swapped out anyway when the memory pressure comes from its parent with a
It is also unexpected that the knob is meaningless without setting the
hard limit which would trigger the reclaim and enforce the swappiness.
There are setups where the hard limit is configured higher in the
hierarchy by an administrator and children groups are under control of
somebody else who is interested in the swapout behavior but not
necessarily about the memory limit.

From a semantic point of view swappiness is an attribute defining anon
vs.
 file proportional scanning of LRU which is memcg specific (unlike
charges which are propagated up the hierarchy) so it should be applied
to the particular memcg's LRU regardless where the memory pressure comes
from.

This patch removes vmscan_swappiness() and stores the swappiness into
the scan_control structure.  mem_cgroup_swappiness is then used to
provide the correct value before shrink_lruvec is called.  The global
vm_swappiness is used for the root memcg.

844e4d66f4 slub: search partial list on numa_mem_id(), instead of numa_node_id()
Currently, if allocation constraint to node is NUMA_NO_NODE, we search a
partial slab on numa_node_id() node.  This doesn't work properly on a
system having memoryless nodes, since it can have no memory on that node
so there must be no partial slab on that node.

On that node, page allocation always falls back to numa_mem_id() first.
So searching a partial slab on numa_node_id() in that case is the proper
solution for the memoryless node case.

This is because the kswapd thread is still marked as a reclaimer at the
time of exit.  But because it is exiting, nobody is actually waiting on
it to make reclaim progress anymore, and it's nothing but a regular
thread at this point.  Be tidy and strip it of all its powers
(PF_MEMALLOC, PF_SWAPWRITE, PF_KSWAPD, and the lockdep reclaim state)
before returning from the thread function.

d4c54919ed mm: add !pte_present() check on existing hugetlb_entry callbacks
The age table walker doesn't check non-present hugetlb entry in common
path, so hugetlb_entry() callbacks must check it.  The reason for this
behavior is that some callers want to handle it in its own way.

[ I think that reason is bogus, btw - it should just do what the regular
  code does, which is to call the "pte_hole()" function for such hugetlb
  entries  - Linus]

However, some callers don't check it now, which causes unpredictable
result, for example when we have a race between migrating hugepage and
reading /proc/pid/numa_maps.  This patch fixes it by adding !pte_present
checks on buggy callbacks.

This bug exists for years and got visible by introducing hugepage
migration.

ChangeLog v2:
- fix if condition (check !pte_present() instead of pte_present())

72d09633c9 mm/zswap: NUMA aware allocation for zswap_dstmem
zswap_dstmem is a percpu block of memory, which should be allocated using
kmalloc_node(), to get better NUMA locality.

Without it, all the blocks are allocated from a single node.

93ef6d6ca1 mm/vmalloc.c: export unmap_kernel_range()
zsmalloc needs exported unmap_kernel_range for building as a module.  See
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/18/487

I didn't send a patch to make unmap_kernel_range exportable at that time
because zram was staging stuff and I thought VM function exporting for
staging stuff makes no sense.

Now zsmalloc was promoted.  If we can't build zsmalloc as module, it means
we can't build zram as module, either.  Additionally, buddy map_vm_area is
already exported so let's export unmap_kernel_range to help his buddy.

According to calculation, ZS_SIZE_CLASSES value is 255 on systems with 4K
page size, not 254.  The old value may forget count the ZS_MIN_ALLOC_SIZE

This patch fixes this trivial issue in the comments.

2a7a0e0fdc mm, memcg: periodically schedule when emptying page list
mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() can iterate a large number of pages on an
lru and mem_cgroup_move_parent() doesn't return an errno unless certain
criteria, none of which indicate that the iteration may be taking too
long, is met.

We have encountered the following stack trace many times indicating
"need_resched set for > 51000020 ns (51 ticks) without schedule", for
example:

	scheduler_tick()
	<timer irq>
	mem_cgroup_move_account+0x4d/0x1d5
	mem_cgroup_move_parent+0x8d/0x109
	mem_cgroup_reparent_charges+0x149/0x2ba
	mem_cgroup_css_offline+0xeb/0x11b
	cgroup_offline_fn+0x68/0x16b
	process_one_work+0x129/0x350

If this iteration is taking too long, we still need to do cond_resched()
even when an individual page is not busy.

3ba08129e3 mm/memory-failure.c: support use of a dedicated thread to handle SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AO)
Currently memory error handler handles action optional errors in the
deferred manner by default.  And if a recovery aware application wants
to handle it immediately, it can do it by setting PF_MCE_EARLY flag.
However, such signal can be sent only to the main thread, so it's
problematic if the application wants to have a dedicated thread to
handler such signals.

So this patch adds dedicated thread support to memory error handler.  We
have PF_MCE_EARLY flags for each thread separately, so with this patch
AO signal is sent to the thread with PF_MCE_EARLY flag set, not the main
thread.  If you want to implement a dedicated thread, you call prctl()
to set PF_MCE_EARLY on the thread.

Memory error handler collects processes to be killed, so this patch lets
it check PF_MCE_EARLY flag on each thread in the collecting routines.

No behavioral change for all non-early kill cases.

Tony said:

: The old behavior was crazy - someone with a multithreaded process might
: well expect that if they call prctl(PF_MCE_EARLY) in just one thread, then
: that thread would see the SIGBUS with si_code = BUS_MCEERR_A0 - even if
: that thread wasn't the main thread for the process.

74614de17d mm/memory-failure.c: don't let collect_procs() skip over processes for MF_ACTION_REQUIRED
When Linux sees an "action optional" machine check (where h/w has reported
an error that is not in the current execution path) we generally do not
want to signal a process, since most processes do not have a SIGBUS
handler - we'd just prematurely terminate the process for a problem that
they might never actually see.

task_early_kill() decides whether to consider a process - and it checks
whether this specific process has been marked for early signals with
"prctl", or if the system administrator has requested early signals for
all processes using /proc/sys/vm/memory_failure_early_kill.

But for MF_ACTION_REQUIRED case we must not defer.  The error is in the
execution path of the current thread so we must send the SIGBUS
immediatley.

Fix by passing a flag argument through collect_procs*() to
task_early_kill() so it knows whether we can defer or must take action.

a70ffcac74 mm/memory-failure.c-failure: send right signal code to correct thread
When a thread in a multi-threaded application hits a machine check because
of an uncorrectable error in memory - we want to send the SIGBUS with
si.si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AR to that thread.  Currently we fail to do that
if the active thread is not the primary thread in the process.
collect_procs() just finds primary threads and this test:

	if ((flags & MF_ACTION_REQUIRED) && t == current) {

will see that the thread we found isn't the current thread and so send a
si.si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AO to the primary (and nothing to the active
thread at this time).

We can fix this by checking whether "current" shares the same mm with the
process that collect_procs() said owned the page.  If so, we send the
SIGBUS to current (with code BUS_MCEERR_AR).

d2f3102838 mm/page-writeback.c: remove outdated comment
There is an orphaned prehistoric comment , which used to be against
get_dirty_limits(), the dawn of global_dirtyable_memory().

Back then, the implementation of get_dirty_limits() is complicated and
full of magic numbers, so this comment is necessary.  But we now use the
clear and neat global_dirtyable_memory(), which renders this comment
ambiguous and useless.  Remove it.
