cc39c6a9bb mm: account skipped entries to avoid looping in find_get_pages
The found entries by find_get_pages() could be all swap entries.  In
this case we skip the entries, but make sure the skipped entries are
accounted, so we don't keep looping.

Using nr_found > nr_skip to simplify code as suggested by Eric.

461ae488ec mm: sync vmalloc address space page tables in alloc_vm_area()
Xen backend drivers (e.g., blkback and netback) would sometimes fail to
map grant pages into the vmalloc address space allocated with
alloc_vm_area().  The GNTTABOP_map_grant_ref would fail because Xen could
not find the page (in the L2 table) containing the PTEs it needed to
update.

(XEN) mm.c:3846:d0 Could not find L1 PTE for address fbb42000

netback and blkback were making the hypercall from a kernel thread where
task->active_mm != &init_mm and alloc_vm_area() was only updating the page
tables for init_mm.  The usual method of deferring the update to the page
tables of other processes (i.e., after taking a fault) doesn't work as a
fault cannot occur during the hypercall.

This would work on some systems depending on what else was using vmalloc.

Fix this by reverting ef691947d8 ("vmalloc: remove vmalloc_sync_all()
from alloc_vm_area()") and add a comment to explain why it's needed.

185efc0f9a memcg: Revert "memcg: add memory.vmscan_stat"
Revert the post-3.0 commit 82f9d486e5 ("memcg: add
memory.vmscan_stat").

The implementation of per-memcg reclaim statistics violates how memcg
hierarchies usually behave: hierarchically.

The reclaim statistics are accounted to child memcgs and the parent
hitting the limit, but not to hierarchy levels in between.  Usually,
hierarchical statistics are perfectly recursive, with each level
representing the sum of itself and all its children.

Since this exports statistics to userspace, this may lead to confusion
and problems with changing things after the release, so revert it now,
we can try again later.

a4d3e9e763 mm: vmscan: fix force-scanning small targets without swap
Without swap, anonymous pages are not scanned.  As such, they should not
count when considering force-scanning a small target if there is no swap.

Otherwise, targets are not force-scanned even when their effective scan
number is zero and the other conditions--kswapd/memcg--apply.

This fixes 246e87a939 ("memcg: fix get_scan_count() for small
targets").

8aacc9f550 mm/mempolicy.c: fix pgoff in mbind vma merge
commit 9d8cebd4bc ("mm: fix mbind vma merge problem") didn't really
fix the mbind vma merge problem due to wrong pgoff value passing to
vma_merge(), which made vma_merge() always return NULL.

Before the patch applied, we are getting a result like:

  7fa58f00c000-7fa58f00d000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0

here 7fa58f00c000->7fa58f00f000 we get 3 VMAs which are expected to be
merged described as described in commit 9d8cebd.

Re-testing the patched kernel with the reproducer provided in commit

bdi_forker_thread() clears BDI_pending bit at the end of the main loop.
However clearing of this bit must not be done in some cases which is
handled by calling 'continue' from switch statement. That's kind of
unusual construct and without a good reason so change the function into
more intuitive code flow.

130655ef09 slub: add slab with one free object to partial list tail
The slab has just one free object, adding it to partial list head doesn't make
sense. And it can cause lock contentation. For example,
1. CPU takes the slab from partial list
2. fetch an object
3. switch to another slab
4. free an object, then the slab is added to partial list again
In this way n->list_lock will be heavily contended.
In fact, Alex had a hackbench regression. 3.1-rc1 performance drops about 70%
against 3.0. This patch fixes it.

23751be009 memcg: fix hierarchical oom locking
Commit 79dfdaccd1 ("memcg: make oom_lock 0 and 1 based rather than
counter") tried to oom lock the hierarchy and roll back upon
encountering an already locked memcg.

The code is confused when it comes to detecting a locked memcg, though,
so it would fail and rollback after locking one memcg and encountering
an unlocked second one.

The result is that oom-locking hierarchies fails unconditionally and
that every oom killer invocation simply goes to sleep on the oom
waitqueue forever.  The tasks practically hang forever without anyone
intervening, possibly holding locks that trip up unrelated tasks, too.

439423f689 vmscan: clear ZONE_CONGESTED for zone with good watermark
ZONE_CONGESTED is only cleared in kswapd, but pages can be freed in any
task.  It's possible ZONE_CONGESTED isn't cleared in some cases:

 1. the zone is already balanced just entering balance_pgdat() for
    order-0 because concurrent tasks free memory.  In this case, later
    check will skip the zone as it's balanced so the flag isn't cleared.

 2. high order balance fallbacks to order-0.  quote from Mel: At the
    end of balance_pgdat(), kswapd uses the following logic;

	If reclaiming at high order {
		for each zone {
			if all_unreclaimable
				skip
			if watermark is not met
				order = 0
				loop again

			/* watermark is met */
			clear congested
		}
	}

    i.e. it clears ZONE_CONGESTED if it the zone is balanced.  if not,
    it restarts balancing at order-0.  However, if the higher zones are
    balanced for order-0, kswapd will miss clearing ZONE_CONGESTED as
    that only happens after a zone is shrunk.  This can mean that
    wait_iff_congested() stalls unnecessarily.

This patch makes kswapd clear ZONE_CONGESTED during its initial
highmem->dma scan for zones that are already balanced.

5af12d0efd memcg: pin execution to current cpu while draining stock
Commit d1a05b6973 ("memcg do not try to drain per-cpu caches without
pages") added a drain_local_stock() call to a preemptible section.

The draining task looks up the cpu-local stock twice to set the
draining-flag, then to drain the stock and clear the flag again.  If the
task is migrated to a different CPU in between, noone will clear the
flag on the first stock and it will be forever undrainable.  Its charge
can not be recovered and the cgroup can not be deleted anymore.

Properly pin the task to the executing CPU while draining stocks.

bb0822954a squeeze max-pause area and drop pass-good area
Revert the pass-good area introduced in ffd1f609ab ("writeback:
introduce max-pause and pass-good dirty limits") and make the max-pause
area smaller and safe.

This fixes ~30% performance regression in the ext3 data=writeback
fio_mmap_randwrite_64k/fio_mmap_randrw_64k test cases, where there are
12 JBOD disks, on each disk runs 8 concurrent tasks doing reads+writes.

Using deadline scheduler also has a regression, but not that big as CFQ,
so this suggests we have some write starvation.

The test logs show that

- the disks are sometimes under utilized

- global dirty pages sometimes rush high to the pass-good area for
  several hundred seconds, while in the mean time some bdi dirty pages
  drop to very low value (bdi_dirty << bdi_thresh).  Then suddenly the
  global dirty pages dropped under global dirty threshold and bdi_dirty
  rush very high (for example, 2 times higher than bdi_thresh). During
  which time balance_dirty_pages() is not called at all.

So the problems are

1) The random writes progress so slow that they break the assumption of
   the max-pause logic that "8 pages per 200ms is typically more than
   enough to curb heavy dirtiers".

2) The max-pause logic ignored task_bdi_thresh and thus opens the possibility
   for some bdi's to over dirty pages, leading to (bdi_dirty >> bdi_thresh)
   and then (bdi_thresh >> bdi_dirty) for others.

3) The higher max-pause/pass-good thresholds somehow leads to the bad
   swing of dirty pages.

The fix is to allow the task to slightly dirty over task_bdi_thresh, but
no way to exceed bdi_dirty and/or global dirty_thresh.

Tests show that it fixed the JBOD regression completely (both behavior
and performance), while still being able to cut down large pause times
in balance_dirty_pages() for single-disk cases.

f982f91516 mm: fix wrong vmap address calculations with odd NR_CPUS values
Commit db64fe0225 ("mm: rewrite vmap layer") introduced code that does
address calculations under the assumption that VMAP_BLOCK_SIZE is a
power of two.  However, this might not be true if CONFIG_NR_CPUS is not
set to a power of two.

Wrong vmap_block index/offset values could lead to memory corruption.
However, this has never been observed in practice (or never been
diagnosed correctly); what caught this was the BUG_ON in vb_alloc() that
checks for inconsistent vmap_block indices.

To fix this, ensure that VMAP_BLOCK_SIZE always is a power of two.

We are crashing because we try to dereference cached memcg when we are

The percpu_charge_mutex protected from this race because sync draining
is exclusive.

It is safer to revert now and come up with a more parallel
implementation later.

81107188f1 slub: Fix partial count comparison confusion
deactivate_slab() has the comparison if more than the minimum number of
partial pages are in the partial list wrong. An effect of this may be that
empty pages are not freed from deactivate_slab(). The result could be an
OOM due to growth of the partial slabs per node. Frees mostly occur from
__slab_free which is okay so this would only affect use cases where a lot
of switching around of per cpu slabs occur.

Switching per cpu slabs occurs with high frequency if debugging options are
enabled.

ef62fb32b7 slub: fix check_bytes() for slub debugging
The check_bytes() function is used by slub debugging.  It returns a pointer
to the first unmatching byte for a character in the given memory area.

If the character for matching byte is greater than 0x80, check_bytes()
doesn't work.  Becuase 64-bit pattern is generated as below.

	value64 = value | value << 8 | value << 16 | value << 24;
	value64 = value64 | value64 << 32;

The integer promotions are performed and sign-extended as the type of value
is u8.  The upper 32 bits of value64 is 0xffffffff in the first line, and
the second line has no effect.

This fixes the 64-bit pattern generation.

When a slab is freed by __slab_free() and the slab can only contain a

slab_empty.

This caused the following full list corruption when SLUB debugging was enabled:

Lockdep thinks there's lock recursion through:

	  cache_flusharray()

			kmem_cache_alloc()              |
			  cache_alloc_refill()          |
			    spin_lock(&l3->list_lock) --'

Now debug objects doesn't use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and hence there is no
actual possibility of recursing. Luckily debug objects marks it slab
with SLAB_DEBUG_OBJECTS so we can identify the thing.

Mark all SLAB_DEBUG_OBJECTS (all one!) slab caches with a special
lockdep key so that lockdep sees its a different cachep.

Also add a WARN on trying to create a SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU |
SLAB_DEBUG_OBJECTS cache, to avoid possible future trouble.

8079b1c859 mm: clarify the radix_tree exceptional cases
Make the radix_tree exceptional cases, mostly in filemap.c, clearer.

It's hard to devise a suitable snappy name that illuminates the use by
shmem/tmpfs for swap, while keeping filemap/pagecache/radix_tree
generality.  And akpm points out that /* radix_tree_deref_retry(page) */
comments look like calls that have been commented out for unknown
reason.

Skirt the naming difficulty by rearranging these blocks to handle the
transient radix_tree_deref_retry(page) case first; then just explain the
remaining shmem/tmpfs swap case in a comment.

e504f3fdd6 tmpfs radix_tree: locate_item to speed up swapoff
We have already acknowledged that swapoff of a tmpfs file is slower than
it was before conversion to the generic radix_tree: a little slower
there will be acceptable, if the hotter paths are faster.

But it was a shock to find swapoff of a 500MB file 20 times slower on my
laptop, taking 10 minutes; and at that rate it significantly slows down
my testing.

Now, most of that turned out to be overhead from PROVE_LOCKING and
PROVE_RCU: without those it was only 4 times slower than before; and
more realistic tests on other machines don't fare as badly.

I've tried a number of things to improve it, including tagging the swap
entries, then doing lookup by tag: I'd expected that to halve the time,
but in practice it's erratic, and often counter-productive.

The only change I've so far found to make a consistent improvement, is
to short-circuit the way we go back and forth, gang lookup packing
entries into the array supplied, then shmem scanning that array for the
target entry.  Scanning in place doubles the speed, so it's now only
twice as slow as before (or three times slower when the PROVEs are on).

So, add radix_tree_locate_item() as an expedient, once-off,
single-caller hack to do the lookup directly in place.  #ifdef it on
CONFIG_SHMEM and CONFIG_SWAP, as much to document its limited
applicability as save space in other configurations.  And, sadly,
#include sched.h for cond_resched().

And mincore_page() uses find_get_page() on what might be shmem or a

find_get_page() on swapper_space if so (oh, swapper_space needs #ifdef).

69f07ec938 tmpfs: use kmemdup for short symlinks
But we've not yet removed the old swp_entry_t i_direct[16] from
shmem_inode_info.  That's because it was still being shared with the
inline symlink.  Remove it now (saving 64 or 128 bytes from shmem inode
size), and use kmemdup() for short symlinks, say, those up to 128 bytes.

I wonder why mpol_free_shared_policy() is done in shmem_destroy_inode()
rather than shmem_evict_inode(), where we usually do such freeing? I
guess it doesn't matter, and I'm not into NUMA mpol testing right now.

6922c0c7ab tmpfs: convert shmem_writepage and enable swap
Convert shmem_writepage() to use shmem_delete_from_page_cache() to use
shmem_radix_tree_replace() to substitute swap entry for page pointer
atomically in the radix tree.

As with shmem_add_to_page_cache(), it's not entirely satisfactory to be
copying such code from delete_from_swap_cache, but again judged easier
to sell than making its other callers go through the extras.

Remove the toy implementation's shmem_put_swap() and shmem_get_swap(),
now unreferenced, and the hack to disable swap: it's now good to go.

The way things have worked out, info->lock no longer helps to guard the
shmem_swaplist: we increment swapped under shmem_swaplist_mutex only.
That global mutex exclusion between shmem_writepage() and shmem_unuse()
is not pretty, and we ought to find another way; but it's been forced on
us by recent race discoveries, not a consequence of this patchset.

And what has become of the WARN_ON_ONCE(1) free_swap_and_cache() if a
swap entry was found already present? That's no longer possible, the
(unknown) one inserting this page into filecache would hit the swap
entry occupying that slot.

aa3b189551 tmpfs: convert mem_cgroup shmem to radix-swap
Remove mem_cgroup_shmem_charge_fallback(): it was only required when we
had to move swappage to filecache with GFP_NOWAIT.

Remove the GFP_NOWAIT special case from mem_cgroup_cache_charge(), by
moving its call out from shmem_add_to_page_cache() to two of thats three
callers.  But leave it doing mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page() on error:
although asymmetrical, it's easier for all 3 callers to handle.

These two changes would also be appropriate if anyone were to start
using shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() with GFP_NOWAIT.

Remove mem_cgroup_get_shmem_target(): mc_handle_file_pte() can test
radix_tree_exceptional_entry() to get what it needs for itself.

54af604218 tmpfs: convert shmem_getpage_gfp to radix-swap
Convert shmem_getpage_gfp(), the engine-room of shmem, to expect page or
swap entry returned from radix tree by find_lock_page().

Whereas the repetitive old method proceeded mainly under info->lock,
dropping and repeating whenever one of the conditions needed was not
met, now we can proceed without it, leaving shmem_add_to_page_cache() to
check for a race.

This way there is no need to preallocate a page, no need for an early
radix_tree_preload(), no need for mem_cgroup_shmem_charge_fallback().

Move the error unwinding down to the bottom instead of repeating it
throughout.  ENOSPC handling is a little different from before: there is
no longer any race between find_lock_page() and finding swap, but we can
arrive at ENOSPC before calling shmem_recalc_inode(), which might
occasionally discover freed space.

Be stricter to check i_size before returning.  info->lock is used for
little but alloced, swapped, i_blocks updates.  Move i_blocks updates
out from under the max_blocks check, so even an unlimited size=0 mount
can show accurate du.

46f65ec15c tmpfs: convert shmem_unuse_inode to radix-swap
Convert shmem_unuse_inode() to use a lockless gang lookup of the radix
tree, searching for matching swap.

This is somewhat slower than the old method: because of repeated radix
tree descents, because of copying entries up, but probably most because
the old method noted and skipped once a vector page was cleared of swap.
Perhaps we can devise a use of radix tree tagging to achieve that later.

shmem_add_to_page_cache() uses shmem_radix_tree_replace() to compensate
for the lockless lookup by checking that the expected entry is in place,
under lock.  It is not very satisfactory to be copying this much from
add_to_page_cache_locked(), but I think easier to sell than insisting
that every caller of add_to_page_cache*() go through the extras.

7a5d0fbb29 tmpfs: convert shmem_truncate_range to radix-swap
Disable the toy swapping implementation in shmem_writepage() - it's hard
to support two schemes at once - and convert shmem_truncate_range() to a
lockless gang lookup of swap entries along with pages, freeing both.

Since the second loop tightens its noose until all entries of either
kind have been squeezed out (and we shall make sure that there's not an
instant when neither is visible), there is no longer a need for yet
another pass below.

shmem_radix_tree_replace() compensates for the lockless lookup by
checking that the expected entry is in place, under lock, before
replacing it.  Here it just deletes, but will be used in later patches
to substitute swap entry for page or page for swap entry.

285b2c4fdd tmpfs: demolish old swap vector support
The maximum size of a shmem/tmpfs file has been limited by the maximum
size of its triple-indirect swap vector.  With 4kB page size, maximum
filesize was just over 2TB on a 32-bit kernel, but sadly one eighth of
that on a 64-bit kernel.  (With 8kB page size, maximum filesize was just
over 4TB on a 64-bit kernel, but 16TB on a 32-bit kernel,
MAX_LFS_FILESIZE being then more restrictive than swap vector layout.)

It's a shame that tmpfs should be more restrictive than ramfs, and this
limitation has now been noticed.  Add another level to the swap vector?
No, it became obscure and hard to maintain, once I complicated it to
make use of highmem pages nine years ago: better choose another way.

Surely, if 2.4 had had the radix tree pagecache introduced in 2.5, then
tmpfs would never have invented its own peculiar radix tree: we would
have fitted swap entries into the common radix tree instead, in much the
same way as we fit swap entries into page tables.

And why should each file have a separate radix tree for its pages and
for its swap entries? The swap entries are required precisely where and
when the pages are not.  We want to put them together in a single radix
tree: which can then avoid much of the locking which was needed to
prevent them from being exchanged underneath us.

This also avoids the waste of memory devoted to swap vectors, first in
the shmem_inode itself, then at least two more pages once a file grew
beyond 16 data pages (pages accounted by df and du, but not by memcg).
Allocated upfront, to avoid allocation when under swapping pressure, but
pure waste when CONFIG_SWAP is not set - I have never spattered around
the ifdefs to prevent that, preferring this move to sharing the common
radix tree instead.

There are three downsides to sharing the radix tree.  One, that it binds
tmpfs more tightly to the rest of mm, either requiring knowledge of swap
entries in radix tree there, or duplication of its code here in shmem.c.
I believe that the simplications and memory savings (and probable higher
performance, not yet measured) justify that.

Two, that on HIGHMEM systems with SWAP enabled, it's the lowmem radix
nodes that cannot be freed under memory pressure - whereas before it was
the less precious highmem swap vector pages that could not be freed.
I'm hoping that 64-bit has now been accessible for long enough, that the
highmem argument has grown much less persuasive.

Three, that swapoff is slower than it used to be on tmpfs files, since
it's using a simple generic mechanism not tailored to it: I find this
noticeable, and shall want to improve, but maybe nobody else will
notice.

So...  now remove most of the old swap vector code from shmem.c.  But,
for the moment, keep the simple i_direct vector of 16 pages, with simple
accessors shmem_put_swap() and shmem_get_swap(), as a toy implementation
to help mark where swap needs to be handled in subsequent patches.

a2c16d6cb0 mm: let swap use exceptional entries
If swap entries are to be stored along with struct page pointers in a
radix tree, they need to be distinguished as exceptional entries.

Most of the handling of swap entries in radix tree will be contained in
shmem.c, but a few functions in filemap.c's common code need to check
for their appearance: find_get_page(), find_lock_page(),
find_get_pages() and find_get_pages_contig().

So as not to slow their fast paths, tuck those checks inside the
existing checks for unlikely radix_tree_deref_slot(); except for
find_lock_page(), where it is an added test.  And make it a BUG in
find_get_pages_tag(), which is not applied to tmpfs files.

A part of the reason for eliminating shmem_readpage() earlier, was to
minimize the places where common code would need to allow for swap
entries.

The swp_entry_t known to swapfile.c must be massaged into a slightly
different form when stored in the radix tree, just as it gets massaged
into a pte_t when stored in page tables.

In an i386 kernel this limits its information (type and page offset) to
30 bits: given 32 "types" of swapfile and 4kB pagesize, that's a maximum
swapfile size of 128GB.  Which is less than the 512GB we previously
allowed with X86_PAE (where the swap entry can occupy the entire upper
32 bits of a pte_t), but not a new limitation on 32-bit without PAE; and
there's not a new limitation on 64-bit (where swap filesize is already
limited to 16TB by a 32-bit page offset).  Thirty areas of 128GB is
probably still enough swap for a 64GB 32-bit machine.

Provide swp_to_radix_entry() and radix_to_swp_entry() conversions, and
enforce filesize limit in read_swap_header(), just as for ptes.

6328650bb4 radix_tree: exceptional entries and indices
A patchset to extend tmpfs to MAX_LFS_FILESIZE by abandoning its
peculiar swap vector, instead keeping a file's swap entries in the same
radix tree as its struct page pointers: thus saving memory, and
simplifying its code and locking.

This patch:

The radix_tree is used by several subsystems for different purposes.  A
major use is to store the struct page pointers of a file's pagecache for
memory management.  But what if mm wanted to store something other than
page pointers there too?

The low bit of a radix_tree entry is already used to denote an indirect
pointer, for internal use, and the unlikely radix_tree_deref_retry()
case.

Define the next bit as denoting an exceptional entry, and supply inline
functions radix_tree_exception() to return non-0 in either unlikely
case, and radix_tree_exceptional_entry() to return non-0 in the second
case.

If a subsystem already uses radix_tree with that bit set, no problem: it
does not affect internal workings at all, but is defined for the
convenience of those storing well-aligned pointers in the radix_tree.

The radix_tree_gang_lookups have an implicit assumption that the caller
can deduce the offset of each entry returned e.g.  by the page->index of
a struct page.  But that may not be feasible for some kinds of item to
be stored there.

radix_tree_gang_lookup_slot() allow for an optional indices argument,
output array in which to return those offsets.  The same could be added
to other radix_tree_gang_lookups, but for now keep it to the only one
for which we need it.

dd48c085c1 fault-injection: add ability to export fault_attr in arbitrary directory
init_fault_attr_dentries() is used to export fault_attr via debugfs.
But it can only export it in debugfs root directory.

Per Forlin is working on mmc_fail_request which adds support to inject
data errors after a completed host transfer in MMC subsystem.

The fault_attr for mmc_fail_request should be defined per mmc host and
export it in debugfs directory per mmc host like
/sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/mmc_fail_request.

init_fault_attr_dentries() doesn't help for mmc_fail_request.  So this
introduces fault_create_debugfs_attr() which is able to create a
directory in the arbitrary directory and replace
init_fault_attr_dentries().

ea8f5fb8a7 HWPoison: add memory_failure_queue()
memory_failure() is the entry point for HWPoison memory error
recovery.  It must be called in process context.  But commonly
hardware memory errors are notified via MCE or NMI, so some delayed
execution mechanism must be used.  In MCE handler, a work queue + ring
buffer mechanism is used.

In addition to MCE, now APEI (ACPI Platform Error Interface) GHES
(Generic Hardware Error Source) can be used to report memory errors
too.  To add support to APEI GHES memory recovery, a mechanism similar
to that of MCE is implemented.  memory_failure_queue() is the new
entry point that can be called in IRQ context.  The next step is to
make MCE handler uses this interface too.

c027a474a6 oom: task->mm == NULL doesn't mean the memory was freed
exit_mm() sets ->mm == NULL then it does mmput()->exit_mmap() which
frees the memory.

However select_bad_process() checks ->mm != NULL before TIF_MEMDIE,
so it continues to kill other tasks even if we have the oom-killed
task freeing its memory.

Change select_bad_process() to check ->mm after TIF_MEMDIE, but skip
the tasks which have already passed exit_notify() to ensure a zombie
with TIF_MEMDIE set can't block oom-killer. Alternatively we could
probably clear TIF_MEMDIE after exit_mmap().
