c855ff3718 Fix a bad error case handling in read_cache_page_async()
Commit 6fe6900e1e introduced a nasty bug
in read_cache_page_async().

It added a "mark_page_accessed(page)" at the final return path in
read_cache_page_async().  But in error cases, 'page' holds the error
code, and you can't mark it accessed.

[ and Glauber de Oliveira Costa points out that we can use a return
  instead of adding more goto's ]

4037d45220 Move remote node draining out of slab allocators
Currently the slab allocators contain callbacks into the page allocator to
perform the draining of pagesets on remote nodes.  This requires SLUB to have
a whole subsystem in order to be compatible with SLAB.  Moving node draining
out of the slab allocators avoids a section of code in SLUB.

Move the node draining so that is is done when the vm statistics are updated.
At that point we are already touching all the cachelines with the pagesets of
a processor.

Add a expire counter there.  If we have to update per zone or global vm
statistics then assume that the pageset will require subsequent draining.

The expire counter will be decremented on each vm stats update pass until it
reaches zero.  Then we will drain one batch from the pageset.  The draining
will cause vm counter updates which will then cause another expiration until
the pcp is empty.  So we will drain a batch every 3 seconds.

Note that remote node draining is a somewhat esoteric feature that is required
on large NUMA systems because otherwise significant portions of system memory
can become trapped in pcp queues.  The number of pcp is determined by the
number of processors and nodes in a system.  A system with 4 processors and 2
nodes has 8 pcps which is okay.  But a system with 1024 processors and 512
nodes has 512k pcps with a high potential for large amount of memory being
caught in them.

d1187ed210 vmstat: use our own timer events
vmstat is currently using the cache reaper to periodically bring the
statistics up to date.  The cache reaper does only exists in SLUB as a way to
provide compatibility with SLAB.  This patch removes the vmstat calls from the
slab allocators and provides its own handling.

The advantage is also that we can use a different frequency for the updates.
Refreshing vm stats is a pretty fast job so we can run this every second and
stagger this by only one tick.  This will lead to some overlap in large
systems.  F.e a system running at 250 HZ with 1024 processors will have 4 vm
updates occurring at once.

However, the vm stats update only accesses per node information.  It is only
necessary to stagger the vm statistics updates per processor in each node.  Vm
counter updates occurring on distant nodes will not cause cacheline
contention.

We could implement an alternate approach that runs the first processor on each
node at the second and then each of the other processor on a node on a
subsequent tick.  That may be useful to keep a large amount of the second free
of timer activity.  Maybe the timer folks will have some feedback on this one?

8bb7844286 Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplug
Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been
frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need
special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware
subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events
related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress.  This
patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during
suspend and resume transitions.  It also changes all of the
CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration
(for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"
ones).

01f2705daf fs: convert core functions to zero_user_page
It's very common for file systems to need to zero part or all of a page,
the simplist way is just to use kmap_atomic() and memset().  There's
actually a library function in include/linux/highmem.h that does exactly
that, but it's confusingly named memclear_highpage_flush(), which is
descriptive of *how* it does the work rather than what the *purpose* is.
So this patchset renames the function to zero_user_page(), and calls it
from the various places that currently open code it.

This first patch introduces the new function call, and converts all the
core kernel callsites, both the open-coded ones and the old
memclear_highpage_flush() ones.  Following this patch is a series of
conversions for each file system individually, per AKPM, and finally a
patch deprecating the old call.  The diffstat below shows the entire
patchset.

8a63011275 pretend cpuset has some form of hugetlb page reservation
When cpuset is configured, it breaks the strict hugetlb page reservation as
the accounting is done on a global variable.  Such reservation is
completely rubbish in the presence of cpuset because the reservation is not
checked against page availability for the current cpuset.  Application can
still potentially OOM'ed by kernel with lack of free htlb page in cpuset
that the task is in.  Attempt to enforce strict accounting with cpuset is
almost impossible (or too ugly) because cpuset is too fluid that task or
memory node can be dynamically moved between cpusets.

The change of semantics for shared hugetlb mapping with cpuset is
undesirable.  However, in order to preserve some of the semantics, we fall
back to check against current free page availability as a best attempt and
hopefully to minimize the impact of changing semantics that cpuset has on
hugetlb.

ace4bd29c2 fix leaky resv_huge_pages when cpuset is in use
The internal hugetlb resv_huge_pages variable can permanently leak nonzero
value in the error path of hugetlb page fault handler when hugetlb page is
used in combination of cpuset.  The leaked count can permanently trap N
number of hugetlb pages in unusable "reserved" state.

Steps to reproduce the bug:

  (1) create two cpuset, user1 and user2
  (2) reserve 50 htlb pages in cpuset user1
  (3) attempt to shmget/shmat 50 htlb page inside cpuset user2
  (4) kernel oom the user process in step 3
  (5) ipcrm the shm segment

At this point resv_huge_pages will have a count of 49, even though
there are no active hugetlbfs file nor hugetlb shared memory segment
in the system.  The leak is permanent and there is no recovery method
other than system reboot. The leaked count will hold up all future use
of that many htlb pages in all cpusets.

The culprit is that the error path of alloc_huge_page() did not
properly undo the change it made to resv_huge_page, causing
inconsistent state.

41ecc55b8a SLUB: add CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG can be used to switch off the debugging and sysfs components
of SLUB.  Thus SLUB will be able to replace SLOB.  SLUB can arrange objects in
a denser way than SLOB and the code size should be minimal without debugging
and sysfs support.

Note that CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is materially different from CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG.
CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG is used to enable slab debugging in SLAB.  SLUB enables
debugging via a boot parameter.  SLUB debug code should always be present.

CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG can be modified in the embedded config section.

Use cache_line_size() instead of L1_CACHE_BYTES in the allocator.

That also explains the purpose of SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN.  So we will need to keep
that one around to allow dynamic aligning of objects depending on boot
determination of the cache line size.

60b59beafb fbdev: mm: Deferred IO support
This implements deferred IO support in fbdev.  Deferred IO is a way to delay
and repurpose IO.  This implementation is done using mm's page_mkwrite and
page_mkclean hooks in order to detect, delay and then rewrite IO.  This
functionality is used by hecubafb.

1eeb66a1bb move die notifier handling to common code
This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code.  Previous
various architectures had exactly the same code for it.  Note that the new
code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)

arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
declared and used at.  avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

72280ede31 Add white list into modpost.c for memory hotplug code and ia64's machvec section
This patch is add white list into modpost.c for some functions and
ia64's section to fix section mismatchs.

  sparse_index_alloc() and zone_wait_table_init() calls bootmem allocator
  at boot time, and kmalloc/vmalloc at hotplug time. If config
  memory hotplug is on, there are references of bootmem allocater(init text)
  from them (normal text). This is cause of section mismatch.

  Bootmem is called by many functions and it must be
  used only at boot time. I think __init of them should keep for
  section mismatch check. So, I would like to register sparse_index_alloc()
  and zone_wait_table_init() into white list.

  In addition, ia64's .machvec section is function table of some platform
  dependent code. It is mixture of .init.text and normal text. These
  reference of __init functions are valid too.

b46b8f19c9 Increase slab redzone to 64bits
There are two problems with the existing redzone implementation.

Firstly, it's causing misalignment of structures which contain a 64-bit
integer, such as netfilter's 'struct ipt_entry' -- causing netfilter
modules to fail to load because of the misalignment.  (In particular, the
first check in
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c::check_entry_size_and_hooks())

On ppc32 and sparc32, amongst others, __alignof__(uint64_t) == 8.

With slab debugging, we use 32-bit redzones. And allocated slab objects
aren't sufficiently aligned to hold a structure containing a uint64_t.

By _just_ setting ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to __alignof__(u64) we'd disable
redzone checks on those architectures.  By using 64-bit redzones we avoid that
loss of debugging, and also fix the other problem while we're at it.

When investigating this, I noticed that on 64-bit platforms we're using a
32-bit value of RED_ACTIVE/RED_INACTIVE in the 64-bit memory location set
aside for the redzone.  Which means that the four bytes immediately before
or after the allocated object at 0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00 for LE and BE
machines, respectively.  Which is probably not the most useful choice of
poison value.

One way to fix both of those at once is just to switch to 64-bit
redzones in all cases.

4f10493459 slab allocators: Remove SLAB_CTOR_ATOMIC
SLAB_CTOR atomic is never used which is no surprise since I cannot imagine
that one would want to do something serious in a constructor or destructor.
 In particular given that the slab allocators run with interrupts disabled.
 Actions in constructors and destructors are by their nature very limited
and usually do not go beyond initializing variables and list operations.

(The i386 pgd ctor and dtors do take a spinlock in constructor and
destructor.....  I think that is the furthest we go at this point.)

There is no flag passed to the destructor so removing SLAB_CTOR_ATOMIC also
establishes a certain symmetry.

50953fe9e0 slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag
I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
SLAB.

I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
performed before each freeing of an object.

I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
manipulation of the object.

Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).

There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.

This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
unimplemented flags from SLUB.

2b45ab3398 oom: fix constraint deadlock
Fixes a deadlock in the OOM killer for allocations that are not
__GFP_HARDWALL.

Before the OOM killer checks for the allocation constraint, it takes
callback_mutex.

constrained_alloc() iterates through each zone in the allocation zonelist
and calls cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() to determine whether an allocation
for gfp_mask is possible.  If a zone's node is not in the OOM-triggering
task's mems_allowed, it is not exiting, and we did not fail on a
__GFP_HARDWALL allocation, cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() attempts to take
callback_mutex to check the nearest exclusive ancestor of current's cpuset.
 This results in deadlock.

We now take callback_mutex after iterating through the zonelist since we
don't need it yet.
