d06063cc22 Move FAULT_FLAG_xyz into handle_mm_fault() callers
This allows the callers to now pass down the full set of FAULT_FLAG_xyz
flags to handle_mm_fault().  All callers have been (mechanically)
converted to the new calling convention, there's almost certainly room
for architectures to clean up their code and then add FAULT_FLAG_RETRY
when that support is added.

30c9f3a9fa Remove internal use of 'write_access' in mm/memory.c
The fault handling routines really want more fine-grained flags than a
single "was it a write fault" boolean - the callers will want to set
flags like "you can return a retry error" etc.

And that's actually how the VM works internally, but right now the
top-level fault handling functions in mm/memory.c all pass just the
'write_access' boolean around.

This switches them over to pass around the FAULT_FLAG_xyzzy 'flags'
variable instead.  The 'write_access' calling convention still exists
for the exported 'handle_mm_fault()' function, but that is next.

b827e496c8 mm: close page_mkwrite races
Change page_mkwrite to allow implementations to return with the page
locked, and also change it's callers (in page fault paths) to hold the
lock until the page is marked dirty.  This allows the filesystem to have
full control of page dirtying events coming from the VM.

Rather than simply hold the page locked over the page_mkwrite call, we
call page_mkwrite with the page unlocked and allow callers to return with
it locked, so filesystems can avoid LOR conditions with page lock.

The problem with the current scheme is this: a filesystem that wants to
associate some metadata with a page as long as the page is dirty, will
perform this manipulation in its ->page_mkwrite.  It currently then must
return with the page unlocked and may not hold any other locks (according
to existing page_mkwrite convention).

In this window, the VM could write out the page, clearing page-dirty.  The
filesystem has no good way to detect that a dirty pte is about to be
attached, so it will happily write out the page, at which point, the
filesystem may manipulate the metadata to reflect that the page is no
longer dirty.

It is not always possible to perform the required metadata manipulation in
->set_page_dirty, because that function cannot block or fail.  The
filesystem may need to allocate some data structure, for example.

And the VM cannot mark the pte dirty before page_mkwrite, because
page_mkwrite is allowed to fail, so we must not allow any window where the
page could be written to if page_mkwrite does fail.

This solution of holding the page locked over the 3 critical operations
(page_mkwrite, setting the pte dirty, and finally setting the page dirty)
closes out races nicely, preventing page cleaning for writeout being
initiated in that window.  This provides the filesystem with a strong
synchronisation against the VM here.

- Sage needs this race closed for ceph filesystem.
- Trond for NFS (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12913).
- I need it for fsblock.
- I suspect other filesystems may need it too (eg. btrfs).
- I have converted buffer.c to the new locking. Even simple block allocation
  under dirty pages might be susceptible to i_size changing under partial page
  at the end of file (we also have a buffer.c-side problem here, but it cannot
  be fixed properly without this patch).
- Other filesystems (eg. NFS, maybe btrfs) will need to change their
  page_mkwrite functions themselves.

[ This also moves page_mkwrite another step closer to fault, which should
  eventually allow page_mkwrite to be moved into ->fault, and thus avoiding a
  filesystem calldown and page lock/unlock cycle in __do_fault. ]

c2ec175c39 mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match fault
Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return
VM_FAULT_xxx flags.  There should be no functional change.

This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to
the VM (and also can provide more information eg.  virtual_address to the
driver, which might be important in some special cases).

This is required for a subsequent fix.  And will also make it easier to
merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

bd775c42ea mm: add comment why mark_page_accessed() would be better than pte_mkyoung() in follow_page()
At first look, mark_page_accessed() in follow_page() seems a bit strange.
It seems pte_mkyoung() would be better consistent with other kernel code.

However, it is intentional. The commit log said:

    ------------------------------------------------
    commit 9e45f61d69be9024a2e6bef3831fb04d90fac7a8
    Author: akpm <akpm>
    Date:   Fri Aug 15 07:24:59 2003 +0000

    [PATCH] Use mark_page_accessed() in follow_page()

    Touching a page via follow_page() counts as a reference so we should be
    either setting the referenced bit in the pte or running mark_page_accessed().

    Altering the pte is tricky because we haven't implemented an atomic
    pte_mkyoung().  And mark_page_accessed() is better anyway because it has more
    aging state: it can move the page onto the active list.

    BKrev: 3f3c8acbplT8FbwBVGtth7QmnqWkIw
    ------------------------------------------------

The atomic issue is still true nowadays. adding comment help to understand
code intention and it would be better.

ab92661d5d do_wp_page: fix regression with execute in place
Fix do_wp_page for VM_MIXEDMAP mappings.

In the case where pfn_valid returns 0 for a pfn at the beginning of
do_wp_page and the mapping is not shared writable, the code branches to
label `gotten:' with old_page == NULL.

In case the vma is locked (vma->vm_flags & VM_LOCKED), lock_page,
clear_page_mlock, and unlock_page try to access the old_page.

This patch checks whether old_page is valid before it is dereferenced.

The regression was introduced by "mlock: mlocked pages are unevictable"
(commit b291f00039).

03f3c43364 memcg: fix swap accounting leak
Fix swapin charge operation of memcg.

Now, memcg has hooks to swap-out operation and checks SwapCache is really
unused or not.  That check depends on contents of struct page.  I.e.  If
PageAnon(page) && page_mapped(page), the page is recoginized as
still-in-use.

Now, reuse_swap_page() calles delete_from_swap_cache() before establishment
of any rmap. Then, in followinig sequence

	(Page fault with WRITE)
	try_charge() (charge += PAGESIZE)
	commit_charge() (Check page_cgroup is used or not..)
	reuse_swap_page()
		-> delete_from_swapcache()
			-> mem_cgroup_uncharge_swapcache() (charge -= PAGESIZE)
	......
New charge is uncharged soon....
To avoid this,  move commit_charge() after page_mapcount() goes up to 1.
By this,

	try_charge()		(usage += PAGESIZE)
	reuse_swap_page()	(may usage -= PAGESIZE if PCG_USED is set)
	commit_charge()		(If page_cgroup is not marked as PCG_USED,
				 add new charge.)
Accounting will be correct.

Changelog (v2) -> (v3)
  - fixed invalid charge to swp_entry==0.
  - updated documentation.
Changelog (v1) -> (v2)
  - fixed comment.

8c7c6e34a1 memcg: mem+swap controller core
This patch implements per cgroup limit for usage of memory+swap.  However
there are SwapCache, double counting of swap-cache and swap-entry is
avoided.

Mem+Swap controller works as following.
  - memory usage is limited by memory.limit_in_bytes.
  - memory + swap usage is limited by memory.memsw_limit_in_bytes.

This has following benefits.
  - A user can limit total resource usage of mem+swap.

    Without this, because memory resource controller doesn't take care of
    usage of swap, a process can exhaust all the swap (by memory leak.)
    We can avoid this case.

    And Swap is shared resource but it cannot be reclaimed (goes back to memory)
    until it's used. This characteristic can be trouble when the memory
    is divided into some parts by cpuset or memcg.
    Assume group A and group B.
    After some application executes, the system can be..

    Group A -- very large free memory space but occupy 99% of swap.
    Group B -- under memory shortage but cannot use swap...it's nearly full.

    Ability to set appropriate swap limit for each group is required.

Maybe someone wonder "why not swap but mem+swap ?"

  - The global LRU(kswapd) can swap out arbitrary pages. Swap-out means
    to move account from memory to swap...there is no change in usage of
    mem+swap.

    In other words, when we want to limit the usage of swap without affecting
    global LRU, mem+swap limit is better than just limiting swap.

Accounting target information is stored in swap_cgroup which is
per swap entry record.

Charge is done as following.
  map
    - charge  page and memsw.

  unmap
    - uncharge page/memsw if not SwapCache.

  swap-out (__delete_from_swap_cache)
    - uncharge page
    - record mem_cgroup information to swap_cgroup.

  swap-in (do_swap_page)
    - charged as page and memsw.
      record in swap_cgroup is cleared.
      memsw accounting is decremented.

  swap-free (swap_free())
    - if swap entry is freed, memsw is uncharged by PAGE_SIZE.

There are people work under never-swap environments and consider swap as
something bad. For such people, this mem+swap controller extension is just an
overhead.  This overhead is avoided by config or boot option.
(see Kconfig. detail is not in this patch.)

TODO:
 - maybe more optimization can be don in swap-in path. (but not very safe.)
   But we just do simple accounting at this stage.

bced0520fe memcg: fix gfp_mask of callers of charge
Fix misuse of gfp_kernel.

Now, most of callers of mem_cgroup_charge_xxx functions uses GFP_KERNEL.

I think that this is from the fact that page_cgroup *was* dynamically
allocated.

But now, we allocate all page_cgroup at boot.  And
mem_cgroup_try_to_free_pages() reclaim memory from GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE +
specified GFP_RECLAIM_MASK.

  * This is because we just want to reduce memory usage.
    "Where we should reclaim from ?" is not a problem in memcg.

This patch modifies gfp masks to be GFP_HIGUSER_MOVABLE if possible.

Note: This patch is not for fixing behavior but for showing sane information
      in source code.

7a81b88cb5 memcg: introduce charge-commit-cancel style of functions
There is a small race in do_swap_page().  When the page swapped-in is
charged, the mapcount can be greater than 0.  But, at the same time some
process (shares it ) call unmap and make mapcount 1->0 and the page is
uncharged.

      CPUA 			CPUB
       mapcount == 1.
   (1) charge if mapcount==0     zap_pte_range()
                                (2) mapcount 1 => 0.
			        (3) uncharge(). (success)
   (4) set page's rmap()
       mapcount 0=>1

Then, this swap page's account is leaked.

For fixing this, I added a new interface.
  - charge
   account to res_counter by PAGE_SIZE and try to free pages if necessary.
  - commit
   register page_cgroup and add to LRU if necessary.
  - cancel
   uncharge PAGE_SIZE because of do_swap_page failure.

     CPUA
  (1) charge (always)
  (2) set page's rmap (mapcount > 0)
  (3) commit charge was necessary or not after set_pte().

This protocol uses PCG_USED bit on page_cgroup for avoiding over accounting.
Usual mem_cgroup_charge_common() does charge -> commit at a time.

And this patch also adds following function to clarify all charges.

  - mem_cgroup_newpage_charge() ....replacement for mem_cgroup_charge()
	called against newly allocated anon pages.

  - mem_cgroup_charge_migrate_fixup()
        called only from remove_migration_ptes().
	we'll have to rewrite this later.(this patch just keeps old behavior)
	This function will be removed by additional patch to make migration
	clearer.

Good for clarifying "what we do"

Then, we have 4 following charge points.
  - newpage
  - swap-in
  - add-to-cache.
  - migration.

4779280d1e mm: make get_user_pages() interruptible
The initial implementation of checking TIF_MEMDIE covers the cases of OOM
killing.  If the process has been OOM killed, the TIF_MEMDIE is set and it
return immediately.  This patch includes:

1.  add the case that the SIGKILL is sent by user processes.  The
   process can try to get_user_pages() unlimited memory even if a user
   process has sent a SIGKILL to it(maybe a monitor find the process
   exceed its memory limit and try to kill it).  In the old
   implementation, the SIGKILL won't be handled until the get_user_pages()
   returns.

2.  change the return value to be ERESTARTSYS.  It makes no sense to
   return ENOMEM if the get_user_pages returned by getting a SIGKILL
   signal.  Considering the general convention for a system call
   interrupted by a signal is ERESTARTNOSYS, so the current return value
   is consistant to that.

Lee:

An unfortunate side effect of "make-get_user_pages-interruptible" is that
it prevents a SIGKILL'd task from munlock-ing pages that it had mlocked,
resulting in freeing of mlocked pages.  Freeing of mlocked pages, in
itself, is not so bad.  We just count them now--altho' I had hoped to
remove this stat and add PG_MLOCKED to the free pages flags check.

However, consider pages in shared libraries mapped by more than one task
that a task mlocked--e.g., via mlockall().  If the task that mlocked the
pages exits via SIGKILL, these pages would be left mlocked and
unevictable.

Proposed fix:

Add another GUP flag to ignore sigkill when calling get_user_pages from
munlock()--similar to Kosaki Motohiro's 'IGNORE_VMA_PERMISSIONS flag for
the same purpose.  We are not actually allocating memory in this case,
which "make-get_user_pages-interruptible" intends to avoid.  We're just
munlocking pages that are already resident and mapped, and we're reusing
get_user_pages() to access those pages.

??  Maybe we should combine 'IGNORE_VMA_PERMISSIONS and '_IGNORE_SIGKILL
into a single flag: GUP_FLAGS_MUNLOCK ???

1e9e63650d badpage: KERN_ALERT BUG instead of KERN_EMERG
bad_page() and rmap Eeek messages have said KERN_EMERG for a few years,
which I've followed in print_bad_pte().  These are serious system errors,
on a par with BUGs, but they're not quite emergencies, and we do our best
to carry on: say KERN_ALERT "BUG: " like the x86 oops does.

And remove the "Trying to fix it up, but a reboot is needed" line: it's
not untrue, but I hope the KERN_ALERT "BUG: " conveys as much.

2509ef26db badpage: zap print_bad_pte on swap and file
Complete zap_pte_range()'s coverage of bad pagetable entries by calling
print_bad_pte() on a pte_file in a linear vma and on a bad swap entry.
That needs free_swap_and_cache() to tell it, which will also have shown
one of those "swap_free" errors (but with much less information).

Similar checks in fork's copy_one_pte()?  No, that would be more noisy
than helpful: we'll see them when parent and child exec or exit.

Where do_nonlinear_fault() calls print_bad_pte(): omit !VM_CAN_NONLINEAR
case, that could only be a bug in sys_remap_file_pages(), not a bad pte.
VM_FAULT_OOM rather than VM_FAULT_SIGBUS?  Well, okay, that is consistent
with what happens if do_swap_page() operates a bad swap entry; but don't
we have patches to be more careful about killing when VM_FAULT_OOM?

22b31eec63 badpage: vm_normal_page use print_bad_pte
print_bad_pte() is so far being called only when zap_pte_range() finds
negative page_mapcount, or there's a fault on a pte_file where it does not
belong.  That's weak coverage when we suspect pagetable corruption.

Originally, it was called when vm_normal_page() found an invalid pfn: but
pfn_valid is expensive on some architectures and configurations, so 2.6.24
put that under CONFIG_DEBUG_VM (which doesn't help in the field), then
2.6.26 replaced it by a VM_BUG_ON (likewise).

Reinstate the print_bad_pte() in vm_normal_page(), but use a cheaper test
than pfn_valid(): memmap_init_zone() (used in bootup and hotplug) keep a
__read_mostly note of the highest_memmap_pfn, vm_normal_page() then check
pfn against that.  We could call this pfn_plausible() or pfn_sane(), but I
doubt we'll need it elsewhere: of course it's not reliable, but gives much
stronger pagetable validation on many boxes.

Also use print_bad_pte() when the pte_special bit is found outside a
VM_PFNMAP or VM_MIXEDMAP area, instead of VM_BUG_ON.

3dc147414c badpage: replace page_remove_rmap Eeek and BUG
Now that bad pages are kept out of circulation, there is no need for the
infamous page_remove_rmap() BUG() - once that page is freed, its negative
mapcount will issue a "Bad page state" message and the page won't be
freed.  Removing the BUG() allows more info, on subsequent pages, to be
gathered.

We do have more info about the page at this point than bad_page() can know
- notably, what the pmd is, which might pinpoint something like low 64kB
corruption - but page_remove_rmap() isn't given the address to find that.

In practice, there is only one call to page_remove_rmap() which has ever
reported anything, that from zap_pte_range() (usually on exit, sometimes
on munmap).  It has all the info, so remove page_remove_rmap()'s "Eeek"
message and leave it all to zap_pte_range().

mm/memory.c already has a hardly used print_bad_pte() function, showing
some of the appropriate info: extend it to show what we want for the rmap
case: pte info, page info (when there is a page) and vma info to compare.
zap_pte_range() already knows the pmd, but print_bad_pte() is easier to
use if it works that out for itself.

Some of this info is also shown in bad_page()'s "Bad page state" message.
Keep them separate, but adjust them to match each other as far as
possible.  Say "Bad page map" in print_bad_pte(), and add a TAINT_BAD_PAGE
there too.

print_bad_pte() show current->comm unconditionally (though it should get
repeated in the usually irrelevant stack trace): sorry, I misled Nick
Piggin to make it conditional on vm_mm == current->mm, but current->mm is
already NULL in the exit case.  Usually current->comm is good, though
exceptionally it may not be that of the mm (when "swapoff" for example).

a2c43eed83 mm: try_to_free_swap replaces remove_exclusive_swap_page
remove_exclusive_swap_page(): its problem is in living up to its name.

It doesn't matter if someone else has a reference to the page (raised
page_count); it doesn't matter if the page is mapped into userspace
(raised page_mapcount - though that hints it may be worth keeping the
swap): all that matters is that there be no more references to the swap
(and no writeback in progress).

swapoff (try_to_unuse) has been removing pages from swapcache for years,
with no concern for page count or page mapcount, and we used to have a
comment in lookup_swap_cache() recognizing that: if you go for a page of
swapcache, you'll get the right page, but it could have been removed from
swapcache by the time you get page lock.

So, give up asking for exclusivity: get rid of
remove_exclusive_swap_page(), and remove_exclusive_swap_page_ref() and
remove_exclusive_swap_page_count() which were spawned for the recent LRU
work: replace them by the simpler try_to_free_swap() which just checks
page_swapcount().

Similarly, remove the page_count limitation from free_swap_and_count(),
but assume that it's worth holding on to the swap if page is mapped and
swap nowhere near full.  Add a vm_swap_full() test in free_swap_cache()?
It would be consistent, but I think we probably have enough for now.

7b1fe59793 mm: reuse_swap_page replaces can_share_swap_page
A good place to free up old swap is where do_wp_page(), or do_swap_page(),
is about to redirty the page: the data on disk is then stale and won't be
read again; and if we do decide to write the page out later, using the
previous swap location makes an unnecessary disk seek very likely.

So give can_share_swap_page() the side-effect of delete_from_swap_cache()
when it safely can.  And can_share_swap_page() was always a misleading
name, the more so if it has a side-effect: rename it reuse_swap_page().

Irrelevant cleanup nearby: remove swap_token_default_timeout definition
from swap.h: it's used nowhere.

ab967d8601 mm: wp lock page before deciding cow
An application may rely on get_user_pages() to give it pages writable from
userspace and shared with a driver, GUP breaking COW if necessary.  It may
mprotect() the pages' writability, off and on, from time to time.

Normally this works fine (so long as the app does not fork); but just
occasionally, under memory pressure, a readonly pte in a newly writable
area is COWed unnecessarily, breaking the link with the driver: because
do_wp_page() does trylock_page, and falls back to COW whenever that fails.

For reliable behaviour in the unshared case, when the trylock_page fails,
now unlock pagetable, lock page and relock pagetable, before deciding
whether Copy-On-Write is really necessary.

878b63ac88 mm: gup persist for write permission
do_wp_page()'s VM_FAULT_WRITE return value tells __get_user_pages() that
COW has been done if necessary, though it may be leaving the pte without
write permission - for the odd case of forced writing to a readonly vma
for ptrace.  At present GUP then retries the follow_page() without asking
for write permission, to escape an endless loop when forced.

But an application may be relying on GUP to guarantee a writable page
which won't be COWed again when written from userspace, whereas a race
here might leave a readonly pte in place?  Change the VM_FAULT_WRITE
handling to ask follow_page() for write permission again, except in that
odd case of forced writing to a readonly vma.

File pages mapped only in sequentially read mappings are perfect reclaim
canditates.

This patch makes these mappings behave like weak references, their pages
will be reclaimed unless they have a strong reference from a normal
mapping as well.

It changes the reclaim and the unmap path where they check if the page has
been referenced.  In both cases, accesses through sequentially read
mappings will be ignored.

bf3f3bc5e7 mm: don't mark_page_accessed in fault path
Doing a mark_page_accessed at fault-time, then doing SetPageReferenced at
unmap-time if the pte is young has a number of problems.

mark_page_accessed is supposed to be roughly the equivalent of a young pte
for unmapped references. Unfortunately it doesn't come with any context:
after being called, reclaim doesn't know who or why the page was touched.

So calling mark_page_accessed not only adds extra lru or PG_referenced
manipulations for pages that are already going to have pte_young ptes anyway,
but it also adds these references which are difficult to work with from the
context of vma specific references (eg. MADV_SEQUENTIAL pte_young may not
wish to contribute to the page being referenced).

Then, simply doing SetPageReferenced when zapping a pte and finding it is
young, is not a really good solution either. SetPageReferenced does not
correctly promote the page to the active list for example. So after removing
mark_page_accessed from the fault path, several mmap()+touch+munmap() would
have a very different result from several read(2) calls for example, which
is not really desirable.

Impact: Cleanup - removes a new function in favor of a recently modified older one.

Replace follow_pfnmap_pte in pat code with follow_phys. follow_phys lso
returns protection eliminating the need of pte_pgprot call. Using follow_phys
also eliminates the need for pte_pa.

d87fe6607c x86: PAT: modify follow_phys to return phys_addr prot and return value
Impact: Changes and globalizes an existing static interface.

Follow_phys does similar things as follow_pfnmap_pte. Make a minor change
to follow_phys so that it can be used in place of follow_pfnmap_pte.
Physical address return value with 0 as error return does not work in
follow_phys as the actual physical address 0 mapping may exist in pte.

e121e41844 x86: PAT: add follow_pfnmp_pte routine to help tracking pfnmap pages - v3
Impact: New currently unused interface.

Add a generic interface to follow pfn in a pfnmap vma range. This is used by
one of the subsequent x86 PAT related patch to keep track of memory types
for vma regions across vma copy and free.

3c8bb73ace x86: PAT: store vm_pgoff for all linear_over_vma_region mappings - v3
Impact: Code transformation, new functions added should have no effect.

Drivers use mmap followed by pgprot_* and remap_pfn_range or vm_insert_pfn,
in order to export reserved memory to userspace. Currently, such mappings are
not tracked and hence not kept consistent with other mappings (/dev/mem,
pci resource, ioremap) for the sme memory, that may exist in the system.

The following patchset adds x86 PAT attribute tracking and untracking for
pfnmap related APIs.

First three patches in the patchset are changing the generic mm code to fit
in this tracking. Last four patches are x86 specific to make things work
with x86 PAT code. The patchset aso introduces pgprot_writecombine interface,
which gives writecombine mapping when enabled, falling back to
pgprot_noncached otherwise.

This patch:

While working on x86 PAT, we faced some hurdles with trackking
remap_pfn_range() regions, as we do not have any information to say
whether that PFNMAP mapping is linear for the entire vma range or
it is smaller granularity regions within the vma.

A simple solution to this is to use vm_pgoff as an indicator for
linear mapping over the vma region. Currently, remap_pfn_range
only sets vm_pgoff for COW mappings. Below patch changes the
logic and sets the vm_pgoff irrespective of COW. This will still not
be enough for the case where pfn is zero (vma region mapped to
physical address zero). But, for all the other cases, we can look at
pfnmap VMAs and say whether the mappng is for the entire vma region
or not.

5b4e655e94 memcg: avoid accounting special pages
There are not-on-LRU pages which can be mapped and they are not worth to
be accounted.  (becasue we can't shrink them and need dirty codes to
handle specical case) We'd like to make use of usual objrmap/radix-tree's
protcol and don't want to account out-of-vm's control pages.

When special_mapping_fault() is called, page->mapping is tend to be NULL
and it's charged as Anonymous page.  insert_page() also handles some
special pages from drivers.

This patch is for avoiding to account special pages.
