1899ad18c6 mm: workingset: tell cache transitions from workingset thrashing 
Refaults happen during transitions between workingsets as well as in-place
thrashing.  Knowing the difference between the two has a range of
applications, including measuring the impact of memory shortage on the
system performance, as well as the ability to smarter balance pressure
between the filesystem cache and the swap-backed workingset.

During workingset transitions, inactive cache refaults and pushes out
established active cache.  When that active cache isn't stale, however,
and also ends up refaulting, that's bonafide thrashing.

Introduce a new page flag that tells on eviction whether the page has been
active or not in its lifetime.  This bit is then stored in the shadow
entry, to classify refaults as transitioning or thrashing.

How many page->flags does this leave us with on 32-bit?

	20 bits are always page flags

	21 if you have an MMU

	23 with the zone bits for DMA, Normal, HighMem, Movable

	29 with the sparsemem section bits

	30 if PAE is enabled

	31 with this patch.

So on 32-bit PAE, that leaves 1 bit for distinguishing two NUMA nodes.  If
that's not enough, the system can switch to discontigmem and re-gain the 6
or 7 sparsemem section bits.

778e1cdd81 treewide: kvzalloc() -> kvcalloc() 
The kvzalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kvcalloc(). This
patch replaces cases of:

        kvzalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
        kvcalloc(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

        kvzalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

        kvzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

        kvcalloc(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        kvzalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

bb98f2c5ac mm, memcontrol: move swap charge handling into get_swap_page() 
Patch series "mm, memcontrol: Implement memory.swap.events", v2.

This patchset implements memory.swap.events which contains max and fail
events so that userland can monitor and respond to swap running out.

This patch (of 2):

get_swap_page() is always followed by mem_cgroup_try_charge_swap().
This patch moves mem_cgroup_try_charge_swap() into get_swap_page() and
makes get_swap_page() call the function even after swap allocation
failure.

This simplifies the callers and consolidates memcg related logic and
will ease adding swap related memcg events.

eaf649ebc3 mm: swap: clean up swap readahead 
When I see recent change of swap readahead, I am very unhappy about
current code structure which diverges two swap readahead algorithm in
do_swap_page.  This patch is to clean it up.

Main motivation is that fault handler doesn't need to be aware of
readahead algorithms but just should call swapin_readahead.

As first step, this patch cleans up a little bit but not perfect (I just
separate for review easier) so next patch will make the goal complete.

c6f92f9fbe mm: remove cold parameter for release_pages 
All callers of release_pages claim the pages being released are cache
hot.  As no one cares about the hotness of pages being released to the
allocator, just ditch the parameter.

No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal.  The
parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless
parameter copied everywhere.

e9a6effa50 mm, swap: fix false error message in __swp_swapcount() 
When a page fault occurs for a swap entry, the physical swap readahead
(not the VMA base swap readahead) may readahead several swap entries
after the fault swap entry.  The readahead algorithm calculates some of
the swap entries to readahead via increasing the offset of the fault
swap entry without checking whether they are beyond the end of the swap
device and it relys on the __swp_swapcount() and swapcache_prepare() to
check it.  Although __swp_swapcount() checks for the swap entry passed
in, it will complain with the error message as follow for the expected
invalid swap entry.  This may make the end users confused.

  swap_info_get: Bad swap offset entry 0200f8a7

To fix the false error message, the swap entry checking is added in
swapin_readahead() to avoid to pass the out-of-bound swap entries and
the swap entry reserved for the swap header to __swp_swapcount() and
swapcache_prepare().

b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license 
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

61b639723b mm, swap: use page-cluster as max window of VMA based swap readahead 
When the VMA based swap readahead was introduced, a new knob

  /sys/kernel/mm/swap/vma_ra_max_order

was added as the max window of VMA swap readahead.  This is to make it
possible to use different max window for VMA based readahead and
original physical readahead.  But Minchan Kim pointed out that this will
cause a regression because setting page-cluster sysctl to zero cannot
disable swap readahead with the change.

To fix the regression, the page-cluster sysctl is used as the max window
of both the VMA based swap readahead and original physical swap
readahead.  If more fine grained control is needed in the future, more
knobs can be added as the subordinate knobs of the page-cluster sysctl.

The vma_ra_max_order knob is deleted.  Because the knob was introduced
in v4.14-rc1, and this patch is targeting being merged before v4.14
releasing, there should be no existing users of this newly added ABI.

9625456cc7 mm: fix data corruption caused by lazyfree page 
MADV_FREE clears pte dirty bit and then marks the page lazyfree (clear
SwapBacked).  There is no lock to prevent the page is added to swap
cache between these two steps by page reclaim.  If page reclaim finds
such page, it will simply add the page to swap cache without pageout the
page to swap because the page is marked as clean.  Next time, page fault
will read data from the swap slot which doesn't have the original data,
so we have a data corruption.  To fix issue, we mark the page dirty and
pageout the page.

However, we shouldn't dirty all pages which is clean and in swap cache.
swapin page is swap cache and clean too.  So we only dirty page which is
added into swap cache in page reclaim, which shouldn't be swapin page.
As Minchan suggested, simply dirty the page in add_to_swap can do the
job.

ec560175c0 mm, swap: VMA based swap readahead 
The swap readahead is an important mechanism to reduce the swap in
latency.  Although pure sequential memory access pattern isn't very
popular for anonymous memory, the space locality is still considered
valid.

In the original swap readahead implementation, the consecutive blocks in
swap device are readahead based on the global space locality estimation.
But the consecutive blocks in swap device just reflect the order of page
reclaiming, don't necessarily reflect the access pattern in virtual
memory.  And the different tasks in the system may have different access
patterns, which makes the global space locality estimation incorrect.

In this patch, when page fault occurs, the virtual pages near the fault
address will be readahead instead of the swap slots near the fault swap
slot in swap device.  This avoid to readahead the unrelated swap slots.
At the same time, the swap readahead is changed to work on per-VMA from
globally.  So that the different access patterns of the different VMAs
could be distinguished, and the different readahead policy could be
applied accordingly.  The original core readahead detection and scaling
algorithm is reused, because it is an effect algorithm to detect the
space locality.

The test and result is as follow,

Common test condition
=====================

Test Machine: Xeon E5 v3 (2 sockets, 72 threads, 32G RAM) Swap device:
NVMe disk

Micro-benchmark with combined access pattern
============================================

vm-scalability, sequential swap test case, 4 processes to eat 50G
virtual memory space, repeat the sequential memory writing until 300
seconds.  The first round writing will trigger swap out, the following
rounds will trigger sequential swap in and out.

At the same time, run vm-scalability random swap test case in
background, 8 processes to eat 30G virtual memory space, repeat the
random memory write until 300 seconds.  This will trigger random swap-in
in the background.

This is a combined workload with sequential and random memory accessing
at the same time.  The result (for sequential workload) is as follow,

			Base		Optimized
			----		---------
throughput		345413 KB/s	414029 KB/s (+19.9%)
latency.average		97.14 us	61.06 us (-37.1%)

latency.90th		260 us		217 us
latency.95th		346 us		369 us
latency.99th		1.34 ms		1.09 ms
ra_hit%			52.69%		99.98%

The original swap readahead algorithm is confused by the background
random access workload, so readahead hit rate is lower.  The VMA-base
readahead algorithm works much better.

Linpack

The test memory size is bigger than RAM to trigger swapping.

			Base		Optimized
			----		---------
elapsed_time		393.49 s	329.88 s (-16.2%)
ra_hit%			86.21%		98.82%

The score of base and optimized kernel hasn't visible changes.  But the
elapsed time reduced and readahead hit rate improved, so the optimized
kernel runs better for startup and tear down stages.  And the absolute
value of readahead hit rate is high, shows that the space locality is
still valid in some practical workloads.

c4fa63092f mm, swap: fix swap readahead marking 
In the original implementation, it is possible that the existing pages
in the swap cache (not newly readahead) could be marked as the readahead
pages.  This will cause the statistics of swap readahead be wrong and
influence the swap readahead algorithm too.

This is fixed via marking a page as the readahead page only if it is
newly allocated and read from the disk.

When testing with linpack, after the fixing the swap readahead hit rate
increased from ~66% to ~86%.

In addition to the swap readahead changes, some new sysfs interface is
added to show the efficiency of the readahead algorithm and some other
swap statistics.

This new implementation will incur more small random read, on SSD, the
improved correctness of estimation and readahead target should beat the
potential increased overhead, this is also illustrated in the test
results below.  But on HDD, the overhead may beat the benefit, so the
original implementation will be used by default.

23955622ff swap: add block io poll in swapin path 
For fast flash disk, async IO could introduce overhead because of
context switch.  block-mq now supports IO poll, which improves
performance and latency a lot.  swapin is a good place to use this
technique, because the task is waiting for the swapin page to continue
execution.

In my virtual machine, directly read 4k data from a NVMe with iopoll is
about 60% better than that without poll.  With iopoll support in swapin
patch, my microbenchmark (a task does random memory write) is about
10%~25% faster.  CPU utilization increases a lot though, 2x and even 3x
CPU utilization.  This will depend on disk speed.

While iopoll in swapin isn't intended for all usage cases, it's a win
for latency sensistive workloads with high speed swap disk.  block layer
has knob to control poll in runtime.  If poll isn't enabled in block
layer, there should be no noticeable change in swapin.

I got a chance to run the same test in a NVMe with DRAM as the media.
In simple fio IO test, blkpoll boosts 50% performance in single thread
test and ~20% in 8 threads test.  So this is the base line.  In above
swap test, blkpoll boosts ~27% performance in single thread test.
blkpoll uses 2x CPU time though.

If we enable hybid polling, the performance gain has very slight drop
but CPU time is only 50% worse than that without blkpoll.  Also we can
adjust parameter of hybid poll, with it, the CPU time penality is
reduced further.  In 8 threads test, blkpoll doesn't help though.  The
performance is similar to that without blkpoll, but cpu utilization is
similar too.  There is lock contention in swap path.  The cpu time
spending on blkpoll isn't high.  So overall, blkpoll swapin isn't worse
than that without it.

The swapin readahead might read several pages in in the same time and
form a big IO request.  Since the IO will take longer time, it doesn't
make sense to do poll, so the patch only does iopoll for single page
swapin.

38d8b4e6bd mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out 
Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.

This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
(THP) swap.

Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine.  Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU.  And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future.  On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size.  So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.

The advantages of the THP swap support include:

 - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
   acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
   adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
   space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.

 - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
   particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
   IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.

 - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
   heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
   free up after THP swapping out.

 - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
   turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
   pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
   swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
   collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
   utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
   too.

There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device.  To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary.  For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.

This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support.  The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.

As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache.  This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.

With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes.  The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system.  The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device.  To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.

This patch (of 5):

In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache.  This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.

This is the first step for the THP swap optimization.  The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.

In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out.  So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512).  For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture.  In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64.  Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented.  So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory.  The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.

In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.

The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.

The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP.  A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster.  The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead.  This works good enough for normal cases.  If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary.  For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.

The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages.  This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree.  But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.

The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out.  The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP.  So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.

The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

54f180d3c1 mm, swap: use kvzalloc to allocate some swap data structures 
Now vzalloc() is used in swap code to allocate various data structures,
such as swap cache, swap slots cache, cluster info, etc.  Because the
size may be too large on some system, so that normal kzalloc() may fail.
But using kzalloc() has some advantages, for example, less memory
fragmentation, less TLB pressure, etc.  So change the data structure
allocation in swap code to use kvzalloc() which will try kzalloc()
firstly, and fallback to vzalloc() if kzalloc() failed.

In general, although kmalloc() will reduce the number of high-order
pages in short term, vmalloc() will cause more pain for memory
fragmentation in the long term.  And the swap data structure allocation
that is changed in this patch is expected to be long term allocation.

From Dave Hansen:
 "for example, we have a two-page data structure. vmalloc() takes two
  effectively random order-0 pages, probably from two different 2M pages
  and pins them. That "kills" two 2M pages. kmalloc(), allocating two
  *contiguous* pages, will not cross a 2M boundary. That means it will
  only "kill" the possibility of a single 2M page. More 2M pages == less
  fragmentation.

The allocation in this patch occurs during swap on time, which is
usually done during system boot, so usually we have high opportunity to
allocate the contiguous pages successfully.

The allocation for swap_map[] in struct swap_info_struct is not changed,
because that is usually quite large and vmalloc_to_page() is used for
it.  That makes it a little harder to change.

9c1cc2e4f2 mm, swap: fix comment in __read_swap_cache_async 
Commit cbab0e4eec ("swap: avoid read_swap_cache_async() race to
deadlock while waiting on discard I/O completion") fixed a deadlock in
read_swap_cache_async().  Because at that time, in swap allocation path,
a swap entry may be set as SWAP_HAS_CACHE, then wait for discarding to
complete before the page for the swap entry is added to the swap cache.

But in commit 815c2c543d ("swap: make swap discard async"), the
discarding for swap become asynchronous, waiting for discarding to
complete will be done before the swap entry is set as SWAP_HAS_CACHE.
So the comments in code is incorrect now.  This patch fixes the
comments.

The cond_resched() added in the commit cbab0e4eec is not necessary now
too.  But if we added some sleep in swap allocation path in the future,
there may be some hard to debug/reproduce deadlock bug.  So it is kept.

ba81f83842 mm/swap: skip readahead only when swap slot cache is enabled 
Because during swap off, a swap entry may have swap_map[] ==
SWAP_HAS_CACHE (for example, just allocated).  If we return NULL in
__read_swap_cache_async(), the swap off will abort.  So when swap slot
cache is disabled, (for swap off), we will wait for page to be put into
swap cache in such race condition.  This should not be a problem for swap
slot cache, because swap slot cache should be drained after clearing
swap_slot_cache_enabled.

67afa38e01 mm/swap: add cache for swap slots allocation 
We add per cpu caches for swap slots that can be allocated and freed
quickly without the need to touch the swap info lock.

Two separate caches are maintained for swap slots allocated and swap
slots returned.  This is to allow the swap slots to be returned to the
global pool in a batch so they will have a chance to be coaelesced with
other slots in a cluster.  We do not reuse the slots that are returned
right away, as it may increase fragmentation of the slots.

The swap allocation cache is protected by a mutex as we may sleep when
searching for empty slots in cache.  The swap free cache is protected by
a spin lock as we cannot sleep in the free path.

We refill the swap slots cache when we run out of slots, and we disable
the swap slots cache and drain the slots if the global number of slots
fall below a low watermark threshold.  We re-enable the cache agian when
the slots available are above a high watermark.

4b3ef9daa4 mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks 
The patch is to improve the scalability of the swap out/in via using
fine grained locks for the swap cache.  In current kernel, one address
space will be used for each swap device.  And in the common
configuration, the number of the swap device is very small (one is
typical).  This causes the heavy lock contention on the radix tree of
the address space if multiple tasks swap out/in concurrently.

But in fact, there is no dependency between pages in the swap cache.  So
that, we can split the one shared address space for each swap device
into several address spaces to reduce the lock contention.  In the
patch, the shared address space is split into 64MB trunks.  64MB is
chosen to balance the memory space usage and effect of lock contention
reduction.

The size of struct address_space on x86_64 architecture is 408B, so with
the patch, 6528B more memory will be used for every 1GB swap space on
x86_64 architecture.

One address space is still shared for the swap entries in the same 64M
trunks.  To avoid lock contention for the first round of swap space
allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the initial free clusters
list is changed.  The swap space distance between the consecutive swap
clusters in the free cluster list is at least 64M.  After the first
round of allocation, the swap clusters are expected to be freed
randomly, so the lock contention should be reduced effectively.

f6ab1f7f6b mm, swap: use offset of swap entry as key of swap cache 
This patch is to improve the performance of swap cache operations when
the type of the swap device is not 0.  Originally, the whole swap entry
value is used as the key of the swap cache, even though there is one
radix tree for each swap device.  If the type of the swap device is not
0, the height of the radix tree of the swap cache will be increased
unnecessary, especially on 64bit architecture.  For example, for a 1GB
swap device on the x86_64 architecture, the height of the radix tree of
the swap cache is 11.  But if the offset of the swap entry is used as
the key of the swap cache, the height of the radix tree of the swap
cache is 4.  The increased height causes unnecessary radix tree
descending and increased cache footprint.

This patch reduces the height of the radix tree of the swap cache via
using the offset of the swap entry instead of the whole swap entry value
as the key of the swap cache.  In 32 processes sequential swap out test
case on a Xeon E5 v3 system with RAM disk as swap, the lock contention
for the spinlock of the swap cache is reduced from 20.15% to 12.19%,
when the type of the swap device is 1.

Use the whole swap entry as key,

6fcb52a56f thp: reduce usage of huge zero page's atomic counter 
The global zero page is used to satisfy an anonymous read fault.  If
THP(Transparent HugePage) is enabled then the global huge zero page is
used.  The global huge zero page uses an atomic counter for reference
counting and is allocated/freed dynamically according to its counter
value.

CPU time spent on that counter will greatly increase if there are a lot
of processes doing anonymous read faults.  This patch proposes a way to
reduce the access to the global counter so that the CPU load can be
reduced accordingly.

To do this, a new flag of the mm_struct is introduced:
MMF_USED_HUGE_ZERO_PAGE.  With this flag, the process only need to touch
the global counter in two cases:

 1 The first time it uses the global huge zero page;
 2 The time when mm_user of its mm_struct reaches zero.

Note that right now, the huge zero page is eligible to be freed as soon
as its last use goes away.  With this patch, the page will not be
eligible to be freed until the exit of the last process from which it
was ever used.

And with the use of mm_user, the kthread is not eligible to use huge
zero page either.  Since no kthread is using huge zero page today, there
is no difference after applying this patch.  But if that is not desired,
I can change it to when mm_count reaches zero.

Case used for test on Haswell EP:

  usemem -n 72 --readonly -j 0x200000 100G

Which spawns 72 processes and each will mmap 100G anonymous space and
then do read only access to that space sequentially with a step of 2MB.

371a096edf mm: don't use radix tree writeback tags for pages in swap cache 
File pages use a set of radix tree tags (DIRTY, TOWRITE, WRITEBACK,
etc.) to accelerate finding the pages with a specific tag in the radix
tree during inode writeback.  But for anonymous pages in the swap cache,
there is no inode writeback.  So there is no need to find the pages with
some writeback tags in the radix tree.  It is not necessary to touch
radix tree writeback tags for pages in the swap cache.

Per Rik van Riel's suggestion, a new flag AS_NO_WRITEBACK_TAGS is
introduced for address spaces which don't need to update the writeback
tags.  The flag is set for swap caches.  It may be used for DAX file
systems, etc.

With this patch, the swap out bandwidth improved 22.3% (from ~1.2GB/s to
~1.48GBps) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes.
The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system.  The swap device used is a RAM
simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device.  The improvement comes from
the reduced contention on the swap cache radix tree lock.  To test
sequential swapping out, the test case uses 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.

11fb998986 mm: move most file-based accounting to the node 
There are now a number of accounting oddities such as mapped file pages
being accounted for on the node while the total number of file pages are
accounted on the zone.  This can be coped with to some extent but it's
confusing so this patch moves the relevant file-based accounted.  Due to
throttling logic in the page allocator for reliable OOM detection, it is
still necessary to track dirty and writeback pages on a per-zone basis.

770a537022 mm: thp: broken page count after commit aa88b68c3b 
Christian Borntraeger reported a kernel panic after corrupt page counts,
and it turned out to be a regression introduced with commit aa88b68c3b
("thp: keep huge zero page pinned until tlb flush"), at least on s390.

put_huge_zero_page() was moved over from zap_huge_pmd() to
release_pages(), and it was replaced by tlb_remove_page().  However,
release_pages() might not always be triggered by (the arch-specific)
tlb_remove_page().

On s390 we call free_page_and_swap_cache() from tlb_remove_page(), and
not tlb_flush_mmu() -> free_pages_and_swap_cache() like the generic
version, because we don't use the MMU-gather logic.  Although both
functions have very similar names, they are doing very unsimilar things,
in particular free_page_xxx is just doing a put_page(), while
free_pages_xxx calls release_pages().

This of course results in very harmful put_page()s on the huge zero
page, on architectures where tlb_remove_page() is implemented in this
way.  It seems to affect only s390 and sh, but sh doesn't have THP
support, so the problem (currently) probably only exists on s390.

The following quick hack fixed the issue:

fa9949da59 mm: use __SetPageSwapBacked and dont ClearPageSwapBacked 
v3.16 commit 07a4278843 ("mm: shmem: avoid atomic operation during
shmem_getpage_gfp") rightly replaced one instance of SetPageSwapBacked
by __SetPageSwapBacked, pointing out that the newly allocated page is
not yet visible to other users (except speculative get_page_unless_zero-
ers, who may not update page flags before their further checks).

That was part of a series in which Mel was focused on tmpfs profiles:
but almost all SetPageSwapBacked uses can be so optimized, with the same
justification.

Remove ClearPageSwapBacked from __read_swap_cache_async() error path:
it's not an error to free a page with PG_swapbacked set.

Follow a convention of __SetPageLocked, __SetPageSwapBacked instead of
doing it differently in different places; but that's for tidiness - if
the ordering actually mattered, we should not be using the __variants.

There's probably scope for further __SetPageFlags in other places, but
SwapBacked is the one I'm interested in at the moment.

09cbfeaf1a mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros 
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

37e8435119 mm: memcontrol: charge swap to cgroup2 
This patchset introduces swap accounting to cgroup2.

This patch (of 7):

In the legacy hierarchy we charge memsw, which is dubious, because:

 - memsw.limit must be >= memory.limit, so it is impossible to limit
   swap usage less than memory usage. Taking into account the fact that
   the primary limiting mechanism in the unified hierarchy is
   memory.high while memory.limit is either left unset or set to a very
   large value, moving memsw.limit knob to the unified hierarchy would
   effectively make it impossible to limit swap usage according to the
   user preference.

 - memsw.usage != memory.usage + swap.usage, because a page occupying
   both swap entry and a swap cache page is charged only once to memsw
   counter. As a result, it is possible to effectively eat up to
   memory.limit of memory pages *and* memsw.limit of swap entries, which
   looks unexpected.

That said, we should provide a different swap limiting mechanism for
cgroup2.

This patch adds mem_cgroup->swap counter, which charges the actual number
of swap entries used by a cgroup.  It is only charged in the unified
hierarchy, while the legacy hierarchy memsw logic is left intact.

The swap usage can be monitored using new memory.swap.current file and
limited using memory.swap.max.

Note, to charge swap resource properly in the unified hierarchy, we have
to make swap_entry_free uncharge swap only when ->usage reaches zero, not
just ->count, i.e.  when all references to a swap entry, including the one
taken by swap cache, are gone.  This is necessary, because otherwise
swap-in could result in uncharging swap even if the page is still in swap
cache and hence still occupies a swap entry.  At the same time, this
shouldn't break memsw counter logic, where a page is never charged twice
for using both memory and swap, because in case of legacy hierarchy we
uncharge swap on commit (see mem_cgroup_commit_charge).

854e9ed09d mm: support madvise(MADV_FREE) 
Linux doesn't have an ability to free pages lazy while other OS already
have been supported that named by madvise(MADV_FREE).

The gain is clear that kernel can discard freed pages rather than
swapping out or OOM if memory pressure happens.

Without memory pressure, freed pages would be reused by userspace
without another additional overhead(ex, page fault + allocation +
zeroing).

Jason Evans said:

: Facebook has been using MAP_UNINITIALIZED
: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/18/308) in some of its applications for
: several years, but there are operational costs to maintaining this
: out-of-tree in our kernel and in jemalloc, and we are anxious to retire it
: in favor of MADV_FREE.  When we first enabled MAP_UNINITIALIZED it
: increased throughput for much of our workload by ~5%, and although the
: benefit has decreased using newer hardware and kernels, there is still
: enough benefit that we cannot reasonably retire it without a replacement.
:
: Aside from Facebook operations, there are numerous broadly used
: applications that would benefit from MADV_FREE.  The ones that immediately
: come to mind are redis, varnish, and MariaDB.  I don't have much insight
: into Android internals and development process, but I would hope to see
: MADV_FREE support eventually end up there as well to benefit applications
: linked with the integrated jemalloc.
:
: jemalloc will use MADV_FREE once it becomes available in the Linux kernel.
: In fact, jemalloc already uses MADV_FREE or equivalent everywhere it's
: available: *BSD, OS X, Windows, and Solaris -- every platform except Linux
: (and AIX, but I'm not sure it even compiles on AIX).  The lack of
: MADV_FREE on Linux forced me down a long series of increasingly
: sophisticated heuristics for madvise() volume reduction, and even so this
: remains a common performance issue for people using jemalloc on Linux.
: Please integrate MADV_FREE; many people will benefit substantially.

How it works:

When madvise syscall is called, VM clears dirty bit of ptes of the
range.  If memory pressure happens, VM checks dirty bit of page table
and if it found still "clean", it means it's a "lazyfree pages" so VM
could discard the page instead of swapping out.  Once there was store
operation for the page before VM peek a page to reclaim, dirty bit is
set so VM can swap out the page instead of discarding.

One thing we should notice is that basically, MADV_FREE relies on dirty
bit in page table entry to decide whether VM allows to discard the page
or not.  IOW, if page table entry includes marked dirty bit, VM
shouldn't discard the page.

However, as a example, if swap-in by read fault happens, page table
entry doesn't have dirty bit so MADV_FREE could discard the page
wrongly.

For avoiding the problem, MADV_FREE did more checks with PageDirty and
PageSwapCache.  It worked out because swapped-in page lives on swap
cache and since it is evicted from the swap cache, the page has PG_dirty
flag.  So both page flags check effectively prevent wrong discarding by
MADV_FREE.

However, a problem in above logic is that swapped-in page has PG_dirty
still after they are removed from swap cache so VM cannot consider the
page as freeable any more even if madvise_free is called in future.

Look at below example for detail.

    ptr = malloc();
    memset(ptr);
    ..
    ..
    .. heavy memory pressure so all of pages are swapped out
    ..
    ..
    var = *ptr; -> a page swapped-in and could be removed from
                   swapcache. Then, page table doesn't mark
                   dirty bit and page descriptor includes PG_dirty
    ..
    ..
    madvise_free(ptr); -> It doesn't clear PG_dirty of the page.
    ..
    ..
    ..
    .. heavy memory pressure again.
    .. In this time, VM cannot discard the page because the page
    .. has *PG_dirty*

To solve the problem, this patch clears PG_dirty if only the page is
owned exclusively by current process when madvise is called because
PG_dirty represents ptes's dirtiness in several processes so we could
clear it only if we own it exclusively.

Firstly, heavy users would be general allocators(ex, jemalloc, tcmalloc
and hope glibc supports it) and jemalloc/tcmalloc already have supported
the feature for other OS(ex, FreeBSD)

48c935ad88 page-flags: define PG_locked behavior on compound pages 
lock_page() must operate on the whole compound page.  It doesn't make
much sense to lock part of compound page.  Change code to use head
page's PG_locked, if tail page is passed.

This patch also gets rid of custom helper functions --
__set_page_locked() and __clear_page_locked().  They are replaced with
helpers generated by __SETPAGEFLAG/__CLEARPAGEFLAG.  Tail pages to these
helper would trigger VM_BUG_ON().

SLUB uses PG_locked as a bit spin locked.  IIUC, tail pages should never
appear there.  VM_BUG_ON() is added to make sure that this assumption is
correct.

5b999aadba mm: swap: zswap: maybe_preload & refactoring 
zswap_get_swap_cache_page and read_swap_cache_async have pretty much the
same code with only significant difference in return value and usage of
swap_readpage.

I a helper __read_swap_cache_async() with the common code.  Behavior
change: now zswap_get_swap_cache_page will use radix_tree_maybe_preload
instead radix_tree_preload.  Looks like, this wasn't changed only by the
reason of code duplication.

4db0c3c298 mm: remove rest of ACCESS_ONCE() usages 
We converted some of the usages of ACCESS_ONCE to READ_ONCE in the mm/
tree since it doesn't work reliably on non-scalar types.

This patch removes the rest of the usages of ACCESS_ONCE, and use the new
READ_ONCE API for the read accesses.  This makes things cleaner, instead
of using separate/multiple sets of APIs.

aabfb57296 mm: memcontrol: do not kill uncharge batching in free_pages_and_swap_cache 
free_pages_and_swap_cache limits release_pages to PAGEVEC_SIZE chunks.
This is not a big deal for the normal release path but it completely kills
memcg uncharge batching which reduces res_counter spin_lock contention.
Dave has noticed this with his page fault scalability test case on a large

                     |                     __GI___munmap

In his case the load was running in the root memcg and that part has been
handled by reverting 05b8430123 ("mm: memcontrol: use root_mem_cgroup
res_counter") because this is a clear regression, but the problem remains
inside dedicated memcgs.

There is no reason to limit release_pages to PAGEVEC_SIZE batches other
than lru_lock held times.  This logic, however, can be moved inside the
function.  mem_cgroup_uncharge_list and free_hot_cold_page_list do not
hold any lock for the whole pages_to_free list so it is safe to call them
in a single run.

The release_pages() code was previously breaking the lru_lock each
PAGEVEC_SIZE pages (ie, 14 pages).  However this code has no usage of
pagevecs so switch to breaking the lock at least every SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX
(32) pages.  This means that the lock acquisition frequency is
approximately halved and the max hold times are approximately doubled.

The now unneeded batching is removed from free_pages_and_swap_cache().

Also update the grossly out-of-date release_pages documentation.

4bb5f5d939 mm: allow drivers to prevent new writable mappings 
This patch (of 6):

The i_mmap_writable field counts existing writable mappings of an
address_space.  To allow drivers to prevent new writable mappings, make
this counter signed and prevent new writable mappings if it is negative.
This is modelled after i_writecount and DENYWRITE.

This will be required by the shmem-sealing infrastructure to prevent any
new writable mappings after the WRITE seal has been set.  In case there
exists a writable mapping, this operation will fail with EBUSY.

Note that we rely on the fact that iff you already own a writable mapping,
you can increase the counter without using the helpers.  This is the same
that we do for i_writecount.

0a31bc97c8 mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge API 
The memcg uncharging code that is involved towards the end of a page's
lifetime - truncation, reclaim, swapout, migration - is impressively
complicated and fragile.

Because anonymous and file pages were always charged before they had their
page->mapping established, uncharges had to happen when the page type
could still be known from the context; as in unmap for anonymous, page
cache removal for file and shmem pages, and swap cache truncation for swap
pages.  However, these operations happen well before the page is actually
freed, and so a lot of synchronization is necessary:

- Charging, uncharging, page migration, and charge migration all need
  to take a per-page bit spinlock as they could race with uncharging.

- Swap cache truncation happens during both swap-in and swap-out, and
  possibly repeatedly before the page is actually freed.  This means
  that the memcg swapout code is called from many contexts that make
  no sense and it has to figure out the direction from page state to
  make sure memory and memory+swap are always correctly charged.

- On page migration, the old page might be unmapped but then reused,
  so memcg code has to prevent untimely uncharging in that case.
  Because this code - which should be a simple charge transfer - is so
  special-cased, it is not reusable for replace_page_cache().

But now that charged pages always have a page->mapping, introduce
mem_cgroup_uncharge(), which is called after the final put_page(), when we
know for sure that nobody is looking at the page anymore.

For page migration, introduce mem_cgroup_migrate(), which is called after
the migration is successful and the new page is fully rmapped.  Because
the old page is no longer uncharged after migration, prevent double
charges by decoupling the page's memcg association (PCG_USED and
pc->mem_cgroup) from the page holding an actual charge.  The new bits
PCG_MEM and PCG_MEMSW represent the respective charges and are transferred
to the new page during migration.

mem_cgroup_migrate() is suitable for replace_page_cache() as well,
which gets rid of mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache().  However, care
needs to be taken because both the source and the target page can
already be charged and on the LRU when fuse is splicing: grab the page
lock on the charge moving side to prevent changing pc->mem_cgroup of a
page under migration.  Also, the lruvecs of both pages change as we
uncharge the old and charge the new during migration, and putback may
race with us, so grab the lru lock and isolate the pages iff on LRU to
prevent races and ensure the pages are on the right lruvec afterward.

Swap accounting is massively simplified: because the page is no longer
uncharged as early as swap cache deletion, a new mem_cgroup_swapout() can
transfer the page's memory+swap charge (PCG_MEMSW) to the swap entry
before the final put_page() in page reclaim.

Finally, page_cgroup changes are now protected by whatever protection the
page itself offers: anonymous pages are charged under the page table lock,
whereas page cache insertions, swapin, and migration hold the page lock.
Uncharging happens under full exclusion with no outstanding references.
Charging and uncharging also ensure that the page is off-LRU, which
serializes against charge migration.  Remove the very costly page_cgroup
lock and set pc->flags non-atomically.

579f82901f swap: add a simple detector for inappropriate swapin readahead 
This is a patch to improve swap readahead algorithm.  It's from Hugh and
I slightly changed it.

Hugh's original changelog:

swapin readahead does a blind readahead, whether or not the swapin is
sequential.  This may be ok on harddisk, because large reads have
relatively small costs, and if the readahead pages are unneeded they can
be reclaimed easily - though, what if their allocation forced reclaim of
useful pages? But on SSD devices large reads are more expensive than
small ones: if the readahead pages are unneeded, reading them in caused
significant overhead.

This patch adds very simplistic random read detection.  Stealing the
PageReadahead technique from Konstantin Khlebnikov's patch, avoiding the
vma/anon_vma sophistications of Shaohua Li's patch, swapin_nr_pages()
simply looks at readahead's current success rate, and narrows or widens
its readahead window accordingly.  There is little science to its
heuristic: it's about as stupid as can be whilst remaining effective.

The table below shows elapsed times (in centiseconds) when running a
single repetitive swapping load across a 1000MB mapping in 900MB ram
with 1GB swap (the harddisk tests had taken painfully too long when I
used mem=500M, but SSD shows similar results for that).

Vanilla is the 3.6-rc7 kernel on which I started; Shaohua denotes his
Sep 3 patch in mmotm and linux-next; HughOld denotes my Oct 1 patch
which Shaohua showed to be defective; HughNew this Nov 14 patch, with
page_cluster as usual at default of 3 (8-page reads); HughPC4 this same
patch with page_cluster 4 (16-page reads); HughPC0 with page_cluster 0
(1-page reads: no readahead).

HDD for swapping to harddisk, SSD for swapping to VertexII SSD.  Seq for
sequential access to the mapping, cycling five times around; Rand for
the same number of random touches.  Anon for a MAP_PRIVATE anon mapping;
Shmem for a MAP_SHARED anon mapping, equivalent to tmpfs.

One weakness of Shaohua's vma/anon_vma approach was that it did not
optimize Shmem: seen below.  Konstantin's approach was perhaps mistuned,
50% slower on Seq: did not compete and is not shown below.

Rand Shmem   45349   45215   28249   24268   24138   24332

These tests are, of course, two extremes of a very simple case: under
heavier mixed loads I've not yet observed any consistent improvement or
degradation, and wider testing would be welcome.

Shaohua Li:

Test shows Vanilla is slightly better in sequential workload than Hugh's
patch.  I observed with Hugh's patch sometimes the readahead size is
shrinked too fast (from 8 to 1 immediately) in sequential workload if
there is no hit.  And in such case, continuing doing readahead is good
actually.

I don't prepare a sophisticated algorithm for the sequential workload
because so far we can't guarantee sequential accessed pages are swap out
sequentially.  So I slightly change Hugh's heuristic - don't shrink
readahead size too fast.

Here is my test result (unit second, 3 runs average):
	Vanilla		Hugh		New
Seq	356		370		360
Random	4525		2447		2444

Attached graph is the swapin/swapout throughput I collected with 'vmstat
2'.  The first part is running a random workload (till around 1200 of
the x-axis) and the second part is running a sequential workload.
swapin and swapout throughput are almost identical in steady state in
both workloads.  These are expected behavior.  while in Vanilla, swapin
is much bigger than swapout especially in random workload (because wrong
readahead).

309381feae mm: dump page when hitting a VM_BUG_ON using VM_BUG_ON_PAGE 
Most of the VM_BUG_ON assertions are performed on a page.  Usually, when
one of these assertions fails we'll get a BUG_ON with a call stack and
the registers.

I've recently noticed based on the requests to add a small piece of code
that dumps the page to various VM_BUG_ON sites that the page dump is
quite useful to people debugging issues in mm.

This patch adds a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(cond, page) which beyond doing what
VM_BUG_ON() does, also dumps the page before executing the actual
BUG_ON.

5e4c0d9741 lib/radix-tree.c: make radix_tree_node_alloc() work correctly within interrupt 
With users of radix_tree_preload() run from interrupt (block/blk-ioc.c is
one such possible user), the following race can happen:

radix_tree_preload()
...
radix_tree_insert()
  radix_tree_node_alloc()
    if (rtp->nr) {
      ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1];
<interrupt>
...
radix_tree_preload()
...
radix_tree_insert()
  radix_tree_node_alloc()
    if (rtp->nr) {
      ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1];

And we give out one radix tree node twice.  That clearly results in radix
tree corruption with different results (usually OOPS) depending on which
two users of radix tree race.

We fix the problem by making radix_tree_node_alloc() always allocate fresh
radix tree nodes when in interrupt.  Using preloading when in interrupt
doesn't make sense since all the allocations have to be atomic anyway and
we cannot steal nodes from process-context users because some users rely
on radix_tree_insert() succeeding after radix_tree_preload().
in_interrupt() check is somewhat ugly but we cannot simply key off passed
gfp_mask as that is acquired from root_gfp_mask() and thus the same for
all preload users.

Another part of the fix is to avoid node preallocation in
radix_tree_preload() when passed gfp_mask doesn't allow waiting.  Again,
preallocation in such case doesn't make sense and when preallocation would
happen in interrupt we could possibly leak some allocated nodes.  However,
some users of radix_tree_preload() require following radix_tree_insert()
to succeed.  To avoid unexpected effects for these users,
radix_tree_preload() only warns if passed gfp mask doesn't allow waiting
and we provide a new function radix_tree_maybe_preload() for those users
which get different gfp mask from different call sites and which are
prepared to handle radix_tree_insert() failure.
