6b7339f4c3 mm: avoid setting up anonymous pages into file mapping
Reading page fault handler code I've noticed that under right
circumstances kernel would map anonymous pages into file mappings: if
the VMA doesn't have vm_ops->fault() and the VMA wasn't fully populated
on ->mmap(), kernel would handle page fault to not populated pte with
do_anonymous_page().

Let's change page fault handler to use do_anonymous_page() only on
anonymous VMA (->vm_ops == NULL) and make sure that the VMA is not
shared.

For file mappings without vm_ops->fault() or shred VMA without vm_ops,
page fault on pte_none() entry would lead to SIGBUS.

Merge tag 'module_init-alternate_initcall-v4.1-rc8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux

Pull module_init replacement part two from Paul Gortmaker:
 "Replace module_init with appropriate alternate initcall in non
  modules.

  This series converts non-modular code that is using the module_init()
  call to hook itself into the system to instead use one of our
  alternate priority initcalls.

  Unlike the previous series that used device_initcall and hence was a
  runtime no-op, these commits change to one of the alternate initcalls,
  because (a) we have them and (b) it seems like the right thing to do.

  For example, it would seem logical to use arch_initcall for arch
  specific setup code and fs_initcall for filesystem setup code.

  This does mean however, that changes in the init ordering will be
  taking place, and so there is a small risk that some kind of implicit
  init ordering issue may lie uncovered.  But I think it is still better
  to give these ones sensible priorities than to just assign them all to
  device_initcall in order to exactly preserve the old ordering.

  Thad said, we have already made similar changes in core kernel code in
  commit c96d6660dc ("kernel: audit/fix non-modular users of
  module_init in core code") without any regressions reported, so this
  type of change isn't without precedent.  It has also got the same
  local testing and linux-next coverage as all the other pull requests
  that I'm sending for this merge window have got.

  Once again, there is an unused module_exit function removal that shows
  up as an outlier upon casual inspection of the diffstat"

a20135ffbc writeback: don't drain bdi_writeback_congested on bdi destruction
52ebea749a ("writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific
bdi_writebacks") made bdi (backing_dev_info) host per-cgroup wb's
(bdi_writeback's).  As the congested state needs to be per-wb and
referenced from blkcg side and multiple wbs, the patch made all
non-root cong's (bdi_writeback_congested's) reference counted and
indexed on bdi.

When a bdi is destroyed, cgwb_bdi_destroy() tries to drain all
non-root cong's; however, this can hang indefinitely because wb's can
also be referenced from blkcg_gq's which are destroyed after bdi
destruction is complete.

This patch fixes the bug by updating bdi destruction to not wait for
cong's to drain.  A cong is unlinked from bdi->cgwb_congested_tree on
bdi destuction regardless of its reference count as the bdi may go
away any point after destruction.  wb_congested_put() checks whether
the cong is already unlinked on release.

a13f35e871 writeback: don't embed root bdi_writeback_congested in bdi_writeback
52ebea749a ("writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific
bdi_writebacks") made bdi (backing_dev_info) host per-cgroup wb's
(bdi_writeback's).  As the congested state needs to be per-wb and
referenced from blkcg side and multiple wbs, the patch made all
non-root cong's (bdi_writeback_congested's) reference counted and
indexed on bdi.

When a bdi is destroyed, cgwb_bdi_destroy() tries to drain all
non-root cong's; however, this can hang indefinitely because wb's can
also be referenced from blkcg_gq's which are destroyed after bdi
destruction is complete.

To fix the bug, bdi destruction will be updated to not wait for cong's
to drain, which naturally means that cong's may outlive the associated
bdi.  This is fine for non-root cong's but is problematic for the root
cong's which are embedded in their bdi's as they may end up getting
dereferenced after the containing bdi's are freed.

This patch makes root cong's behave the same as non-root cong's.  They
are no longer embedded in their bdi's but allocated separately during
bdi initialization, indexed and reference counted the same way.

* As cong handling is the same for all wb's, wb->congested
  initialization is moved into wb_init().

* When !CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK, there was no indexing or refcnting.
  bdi->wb_congested is now a pointer pointing to the root cong
  allocated during bdi init and minimal refcnting operations are
  implemented.

* The above makes root wb init paths diverge depending on
  CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK.  root wb init is moved to cgwb_bdi_init().

This patch in itself shouldn't cause any consequential behavior
differences but prepares for the actual fix.

0e1cc95b4c mm: meminit: finish initialisation of struct pages before basic setup
Waiman Long reported that 24TB machines hit OOM during basic setup when
struct page initialisation was deferred.  One approach is to initialise
memory on demand but it interferes with page allocator paths.  This patch
creates dedicated threads to initialise memory before basic setup.  It
then blocks on a rw_semaphore until completion as a wait_queue and counter
is overkill.  This may be slower to boot but it's simplier overall and
also gets rid of a section mangling which existed so kswapd could do the
initialisation.

74033a798f mm: meminit: remove mminit_verify_page_links
mminit_verify_page_links() is an extremely paranoid check that was
introduced when memory initialisation was being heavily reworked.
Profiles indicated that up to 10% of parallel memory initialisation was
spent on checking this for every page.  The cost could be reduced but in
practice this check only found problems very early during the
initialisation rewrite and has found nothing since.  This patch removes an
expensive unnecessary check.

7e18adb4f8 mm: meminit: initialise remaining struct pages in parallel with kswapd
Only a subset of struct pages are initialised at the moment.  When this
patch is applied kswapd initialise the remaining struct pages in parallel.

This should boot faster by spreading the work to multiple CPUs and
initialising data that is local to the CPU.  The user-visible effect on
large machines is that free memory will appear to rapidly increase early
in the lifetime of the system until kswapd reports that all memory is
initialised in the kernel log.  Once initialised there should be no other
user-visibile effects.

__early_pfn_to_nid() use static variables to cache recent lookups as
memblock lookups are very expensive but it assumes that memory
initialisation is single-threaded.  Parallel initialisation of struct
pages will break that assumption so this patch makes __early_pfn_to_nid()
SMP-safe by requiring the caller to cache recent search information.
early_pfn_to_nid() keeps the same interface but is only safe to use early
in boot due to the use of a global static variable.  meminit_pfn_in_nid()
is an SMP-safe version that callers must maintain their own state for.

d70ddd7a5d mm: page_alloc: pass PFN to __free_pages_bootmem
__free_pages_bootmem prepares a page for release to the buddy allocator
and assumes that the struct page is initialised.  Parallel initialisation
of struct pages defers initialisation and __free_pages_bootmem can be
called for struct pages that cannot yet map struct page to PFN.  This
patch passes PFN to __free_pages_bootmem with no other functional change.

92923ca3aa mm: meminit: only set page reserved in the memblock region
Currently each page struct is set as reserved upon initialization.  This
patch leaves the reserved bit clear and only sets the reserved bit when it
is known the memory was allocated by the bootmem allocator.  This makes it
easier to distinguish between uninitialised struct pages and reserved
struct pages in later patches.

8e7a7f8619 memblock: introduce a for_each_reserved_mem_region iterator
Struct page initialisation had been identified as one of the reasons why
large machines take a long time to boot. Patches were posted a long time ago
to defer initialisation until they were first used.  This was rejected on
the grounds it should not be necessary to hurt the fast paths. This series
reuses much of the work from that time but defers the initialisation of
memory to kswapd so that one thread per node initialises memory local to
that node.

After applying the series and setting the appropriate Kconfig variable I
see this in the boot log on a 64G machine

[    7.383764] kswapd 0 initialised deferred memory in 188ms
[    7.404253] kswapd 1 initialised deferred memory in 208ms
[    7.411044] kswapd 3 initialised deferred memory in 216ms
[    7.411551] kswapd 2 initialised deferred memory in 216ms

On a 1TB machine, I see

[    8.406511] kswapd 3 initialised deferred memory in 1116ms
[    8.428518] kswapd 1 initialised deferred memory in 1140ms
[    8.435977] kswapd 0 initialised deferred memory in 1148ms
[    8.437416] kswapd 2 initialised deferred memory in 1148ms

Once booted the machine appears to work as normal. Boot times were measured
from the time shutdown was called until ssh was available again.  In the
64G case, the boot time savings are negligible. On the 1TB machine, the
savings were 16 seconds.

Nate Zimmer said:

: On an older 8 TB box with lots and lots of cpus the boot time, as
: measure from grub to login prompt, the boot time improved from 1484
: seconds to exactly 1000 seconds.

Waiman Long said:

: I ran a bootup timing test on a 12-TB 16-socket IvyBridge-EX system.  From
: grub menu to ssh login, the bootup time was 453s before the patch and 265s
: after the patch - a saving of 188s (42%).

Daniel Blueman said:

: On a 7TB, 1728-core NumaConnect system with 108 NUMA nodes, we're seeing
: stock 4.0 boot in 7136s.  This drops to 2159s, or a 70% reduction with
: this patchset.  Non-temporal PMD init (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/23/350)
: drops this to 1045s.

This patch (of 13):

As part of initializing struct page's in 2MiB chunks, we noticed that at
the end of free_all_bootmem(), there was nothing which had forced the
reserved/allocated 4KiB pages to be initialized.

This helper function will be used for that expansion.

This patch restores the slab creation sequence that was broken by commit
4066c33d03 and also reverts the portions that introduced the
KMALLOC_LOOP_XXX macros. Those can never really work since the slab creation
is much more complex than just going from a minimum to a maximum number.

The latest upstream kernel boots cleanly on my machine with a 64 bit x86
configuration under KVM using either SLAB or SLUB.

e382608254 This patch series contains several clean ups and even a new trace clock
"monitonic raw". Also some enhancements to make the ring buffer even
 faster. But the biggest and most noticeable change is the renaming of
 the ftrace* files, structures and variables that have to deal with
 trace events.
 
 Over the years I've had several developers tell me about their confusion
 with what ftrace is compared to events. Technically, "ftrace" is the
 infrastructure to do the function hooks, which include tracing and also
 helps with live kernel patching. But the trace events are a separate
 entity altogether, and the files that affect the trace events should
 not be named "ftrace". These include:
 
   include/trace/ftrace.h	->	include/trace/trace_events.h
   include/linux/ftrace_event.h	->	include/linux/trace_events.h
 
 Also, functions that are specific for trace events have also been renamed:
 
   ftrace_print_*()		->	trace_print_*()
   (un)register_ftrace_event()	->	(un)register_trace_event()
   ftrace_event_name()		->	trace_event_name()

   ftrace_define_fields_##call() ->	trace_define_fields_##call()
   ftrace_get_offsets_##call()	->	trace_get_offsets_##call()
 
 Structures have been renamed:
 
   ftrace_event_file		->	trace_event_file
   ftrace_event_{call,class}	->	trace_event_{call,class}
   ftrace_event_buffer		->	trace_event_buffer

   ftrace_event_data_offset_##call->	trace_event_data_offset_##call
   ftrace_event_type_funcs_##call ->	trace_event_type_funcs_##call
 
 And a few various variables and flags have also been updated.
 
 This has been sitting in linux-next for some time, and I have not heard
 a single complaint about this rename breaking anything. Mostly because
 these functions, variables and structures are mostly internal to the
 tracing system and are seldom (if ever) used by anything external to that.

479305fd71 zpool: remove zpool_evict()
Remove zpool_evict() helper function.  As zbud is currently the only
zpool implementation that supports eviction, add zpool and zpool_ops
references to struct zbud_pool and directly call zpool_ops->evict(zpool,
handle) on eviction.

Currently zpool provides the zpool_evict helper which locks the zpool
list lock and searches through all pools to find the specific one
matching the caller, and call the corresponding zpool_ops->evict
function.  However, this is unnecessary, as the zbud pool can simply
keep a reference to the zpool that created it, as well as the zpool_ops,
and directly call the zpool_ops->evict function, when it needs to evict
a page.  This avoids a spinlock and list search in zpool for each
eviction.

0867a57c4f mm, thp: respect MPOL_PREFERRED policy with non-local node
Since commit 077fcf116c ("mm/thp: allocate transparent hugepages on
local node"), we handle THP allocations on page fault in a special way -
for non-interleave memory policies, the allocation is only attempted on
the node local to the current CPU, if the policy's nodemask allows the
node.

This is motivated by the assumption that THP benefits cannot offset the
cost of remote accesses, so it's better to fallback to base pages on the
local node (which might still be available, while huge pages are not due
to fragmentation) than to allocate huge pages on a remote node.

The nodemask check prevents us from violating e.g.  MPOL_BIND policies
where the local node is not among the allowed nodes.  However, the
current implementation can still give surprising results for the
MPOL_PREFERRED policy when the preferred node is different than the
current CPU's local node.

In such case we should honor the preferred node and not use the local
node, which is what this patch does.  If hugepage allocation on the
preferred node fails, we fall back to base pages and don't try other
nodes, with the same motivation as is done for the local node hugepage
allocations.  The patch also moves the MPOL_INTERLEAVE check around to
simplify the hugepage specific test.

The difference can be demonstrated using in-tree transhuge-stress test
on the following 2-node machine where half memory on one node was
occupied to show the difference.

> numactl --hardware

node 1 free: 7818 MB
node distances:
node   0   1

Before the patch:
> numactl -p0 -C0 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 2.197 s/loop, 0.276 ms/page,   7249.168 MiB/s 7962 succeed,    0 failed, 1786 different pages

transhuge-stress: 2.962 s/loop, 0.372 ms/page,   5376.172 MiB/s 7962 succeed,    0 failed, 3873 different pages

Number of successful THP allocations corresponds to free memory on node 0 in
the first case and node 1 in the second case, i.e. -p parameter is ignored and
cpu binding "wins".

After the patch:
> numactl -p0 -C0 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 2.183 s/loop, 0.274 ms/page,   7295.516 MiB/s 7962 succeed,    0 failed, 1760 different pages

> numactl -p0 -C12 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 2.878 s/loop, 0.361 ms/page,   5533.638 MiB/s 7962 succeed,    0 failed, 1750 different pages

> numactl -p1 -C0 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 4.628 s/loop, 0.581 ms/page,   3440.893 MiB/s 7962 succeed,    0 failed, 3918 different pages

The -p parameter is respected regardless of cpu binding.

> numactl -C0 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 2.202 s/loop, 0.277 ms/page,   7230.003 MiB/s 7962 succeed,    0 failed, 1750 different pages

> numactl -C12 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 3.020 s/loop, 0.379 ms/page,   5273.324 MiB/s 7962 succeed,    0 failed, 3916 different pages

Without -p parameter, hugepage restriction to CPU-local node works as before.

afa2db2fb6 tmpfs: truncate prealloc blocks past i_size
One of the rocksdb people noticed that when you do something like this

    fallocate(fd, FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE, 0, 10M)
    pwrite(fd, buf, 5M, 0)
    ftruncate(5M)

on tmpfs, the file would still take up 10M: which led to super fun
issues because we were getting ENOSPC before we thought we should be
getting ENOSPC.  This patch fixes the problem, and mirrors what all the
other fs'es do (and was agreed to be the correct behaviour at LSF).

I tested it locally to make sure it worked properly with the following

    xfs_io -f -c "falloc -k 0 10M" -c "pwrite 0 5M" -c "truncate 5M" file

Without the patch we have "Blocks: 20480", with the patch we have the
correct value of "Blocks: 10240".

c435a39057 mm/memory hotplug: print the last vmemmap region at the end of hot add memory
When hot add two nodes continuously, we found the vmemmap region info is

  ...

The cause is the last region was missed at the and of hot add memory,
and p_start, p_end, node_start were not reset, so when hot add memory to
a new node, it will consider they are not contiguous blocks and print
the previous one.  So we print the last vmemmap region at the end of hot
add memory to avoid the confusion.

93ada579b0 mm: kmemleak: optimise kmemleak_lock acquiring during kmemleak_scan
The kmemleak memory scanning uses finer grained object->lock spinlocks
primarily to avoid races with the memory block freeing.  However, the
pointer lookup in the rb tree requires the kmemleak_lock to be held.
This is currently done in the find_and_get_object() function for each
pointer-like location read during scanning.  While this allows a low
latency on kmemleak_*() callbacks on other CPUs, the memory scanning is
slower.

This patch moves the kmemleak_lock outside the scan_block() loop,
acquiring/releasing it only once per scanned memory block.  The
allow_resched logic is moved outside scan_block() and a new
scan_large_block() function is implemented which splits large blocks in
MAX_SCAN_SIZE chunks with cond_resched() calls in-between.  A redundant
(object->flags & OBJECT_NO_SCAN) check is also removed from
scan_object().

With this patch, the kmemleak scanning performance is significantly
improved: at least 50% with lock debugging disabled and over an order of
magnitude with lock proving enabled (on an arm64 system).

9d5a4c730d mm: kmemleak: avoid deadlock on the kmemleak object insertion error path
While very unlikely (usually kmemleak or sl*b bug), the create_object()
function in mm/kmemleak.c may fail to insert a newly allocated object into
the rb tree.  When this happens, kmemleak disables itself and prints
additional information about the object already found in the rb tree.
Such printing is done with the parent->lock acquired, however the
kmemleak_lock is already held.  This is a potential race with the scanning
thread which acquires object->lock and kmemleak_lock in a

This patch removes the locking around the 'parent' object information
printing.  Such object cannot be freed or removed from object_tree_root
and object_list since kmemleak_lock is already held.  There is a very
small risk that some of the object data is being modified on another CPU
but the only downside is inconsistent information printing.

e781a9ab48 mm: kmemleak: fix delete_object_*() race when called on the same memory block
Calling delete_object_*() on the same pointer is not a standard use case
(unless there is a bug in the code calling kmemleak_free()).  However,
during kmemleak disabling (error or user triggered via /sys), there is a
potential race between kmemleak_free() calls on a CPU and
__kmemleak_do_cleanup() on a different CPU.

The current delete_object_*() implementation first performs a look-up
holding kmemleak_lock, increments the object->use_count and then
re-acquires kmemleak_lock to remove the object from object_tree_root and
object_list.

This patch simplifies the delete_object_*() mechanism to both look up
and remove an object from the object_tree_root and object_list
atomically (guarded by kmemleak_lock).  This allows safe concurrent
calls to delete_object_*() on the same pointer without additional
locking for synchronising the kmemleak_free_enabled flag.

A side effect is a slight improvement in the delete_object_*() performance
by avoiding acquiring kmemleak_lock twice and incrementing/decrementing
object->use_count.

c5f3b1a51a mm: kmemleak: allow safe memory scanning during kmemleak disabling
The kmemleak scanning thread can run for minutes.  Callbacks like
kmemleak_free() are allowed during this time, the race being taken care
of by the object->lock spinlock.  Such lock also prevents a memory block
from being freed or unmapped while it is being scanned by blocking the
kmemleak_free() -> ...  -> __delete_object() function until the lock is
released in scan_object().

When a kmemleak error occurs (e.g.  it fails to allocate its metadata),
kmemleak_enabled is set and __delete_object() is no longer called on
freed objects.  If kmemleak_scan is running at the same time,
kmemleak_free() no longer waits for the object scanning to complete,
allowing the corresponding memory block to be freed or unmapped (in the
case of vfree()).  This leads to kmemleak_scan potentially triggering a
page fault.

This patch separates the kmemleak_free() enabling/disabling from the
overall kmemleak_enabled nob so that we can defer the disabling of the
object freeing tracking until the scanning thread completed.  The
kmemleak_free_part() is deliberately ignored by this patch since this is
only called during boot before the scanning thread started.

c2b42d3cad memcg: convert mem_cgroup->under_oom from atomic_t to int
memcg->under_oom tracks whether the memcg is under OOM conditions and is
an atomic_t counter managed with mem_cgroup_[un]mark_under_oom().  While
atomic_t appears to be simple synchronization-wise, when used as a
synchronization construct like here, it's trickier and more error-prone
due to weak memory ordering rules, especially around atomic_read(), and
false sense of security.

For example, both non-trivial read sites of memcg->under_oom are a bit
problematic although not being actually broken.

* mem_cgroup_oom_register_event()

  It isn't explicit what guarantees the memory ordering between event
  addition and memcg->under_oom check.  This isn't broken only because
  memcg_oom_lock is used for both event list and memcg->oom_lock.

* memcg_oom_recover()

  The lockless test doesn't have any explanation why this would be
  safe.

mem_cgroup_[un]mark_under_oom() are very cold paths and there's no point
in avoiding locking memcg_oom_lock there.  This patch converts
memcg->under_oom from atomic_t to int, puts their modifications under
memcg_oom_lock and documents why the lockless test in
memcg_oom_recover() is safe.

d1dc6f1bcf frontswap: allow multiple backends
Change frontswap single pointer to a singly linked list of frontswap
implementations.  Update Xen tmem implementation as register no longer
returns anything.

Frontswap only keeps track of a single implementation; any
implementation that registers second (or later) will replace the
previously registered implementation, and gets a pointer to the previous
implementation that the new implementation is expected to pass all
frontswap functions to if it can't handle the function itself.  However
that method doesn't really make much sense, as passing that work on to
every implementation adds unnecessary work to implementations; instead,
frontswap should simply keep a list of all registered implementations
and try each implementation for any function.  Most importantly, neither
of the two currently existing frontswap implementations in the kernel
actually do anything with any previous frontswap implementation that
they replace when registering.

This allows frontswap to successfully manage multiple implementations by
keeping a list of them all.

a3f5bafcc0 mm/memblock: allocate boot time data structures from mirrored memory
Try to allocate all boot time kernel data structures from mirrored
memory.

If we run out of mirrored memory print warnings, but fall back to using
non-mirrored memory to make sure that we still boot.

By number of bytes, most of what we allocate at boot time is the page
structures.  64 bytes per 4K page on x86_64 ...  or about 1.5% of total
system memory.  For workloads where the bulk of memory is allocated to
applications this may represent a useful improvement to system
availability since 1.5% of total memory might be a third of the memory
allocated to the kernel.

fc6daaf931 mm/memblock: add extra "flags" to memblock to allow selection of memory based on attribute
Some high end Intel Xeon systems report uncorrectable memory errors as a
recoverable machine check.  Linux has included code for some time to
process these and just signal the affected processes (or even recover
completely if the error was in a read only page that can be replaced by
reading from disk).

But we have no recovery path for errors encountered during kernel code
execution.  Except for some very specific cases were are unlikely to ever
be able to recover.

Enter memory mirroring. Actually 3rd generation of memory mirroing.

Gen1: All memory is mirrored
	Pro: No s/w enabling - h/w just gets good data from other side of the
	     mirror
	Con: Halves effective memory capacity available to OS/applications

Gen2: Partial memory mirror - just mirror memory begind some memory controllers
	Pro: Keep more of the capacity
	Con: Nightmare to enable. Have to choose between allocating from
	     mirrored memory for safety vs. NUMA local memory for performance

Gen3: Address range partial memory mirror - some mirror on each memory
      controller
	Pro: Can tune the amount of mirror and keep NUMA performance
	Con: I have to write memory management code to implement

The current plan is just to use mirrored memory for kernel allocations.
This has been broken into two phases:

1) This patch series - find the mirrored memory, use it for boot time
   allocations

2) Wade into mm/page_alloc.c and define a ZONE_MIRROR to pick up the
   unused mirrored memory from mm/memblock.c and only give it out to
   select kernel allocations (this is still being scoped because
   page_alloc.c is scary).

This patch (of 3):

Add extra "flags" to memblock to allow selection of memory based on
attribute.  No functional changes

6afdb859b7 mm: do not ignore mapping_gfp_mask in page cache allocation paths
page_cache_read, do_generic_file_read, __generic_file_splice_read and
__ntfs_grab_cache_pages currently ignore mapping_gfp_mask when calling
add_to_page_cache_lru which might cause recursion into fs down in the
direct reclaim path if the mapping really relies on GFP_NOFS semantic.

This doesn't seem to be the case now because page_cache_read (page fault
path) doesn't seem to suffer from the reclaim recursion issues and
do_generic_file_read and __generic_file_splice_read also shouldn't be
called under fs locks which would deadlock in the reclaim path.  Anyway it
is better to obey mapping gfp mask and prevent from later breakage.
