Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman:
"There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree
(balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and
autonuma which is in aa.git.
In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because
its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about
scheduling. In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be
desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building
scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9.
The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are
mel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108
mingo: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331
tglx: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437
srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397
The results are a mixed bag. In my own tests, balancenuma does
reasonably well. It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against
mainline. On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is
incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad
but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts. Thomas'
results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of
numacore or autonuma. Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a
large machine with imbalanced node sizes.
My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved
dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally.
We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of
migration even when it shows that overall performance is better.
There are also cases where it regresses. Of interest is that for
specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of
warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by
the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports. Recently I
reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with
NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of
this problem is. Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch
handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case. It's possible
numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration.
These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start
with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has
not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks."

This patch adds Kconfig options and kernel parameters to allow the

of such a switch was and is very important when debugging problems
related to transparent hugepages and we should have the same for

Note: This two-stage filter was taken directly from the sched/numa patch
"sched, numa, mm: Add the scanning page fault machinery" but is
only a partial extraction. As the end result is not necessarily
recognisable, the signed-offs-by had to be removed. Will be added
back if requested.
While it is desirable that all threads in a process run on its home
node, this is not always possible or necessary. There may be more
threads than exist within the node or the node might over-subscribed
with unrelated processes.
This can cause a situation whereby a page gets migrated off its home
node because the threads clearing pte_numa were running off-node. This
patch uses page->last_nid to build a two-stage filter before pages get
migrated to avoid problems with short or unlikely task<->node
relationships.

It is tricky to quantify the basic cost of automatic NUMA placement in a
meaningful manner. This patch adds some vmstats that can be used as part
of a basic costing model.
u = basic unit = sizeof(void *)
Ca = cost of struct page access = sizeof(struct page) / u
Cpte = Cost PTE access = Ca
Cupdate = Cost PTE update = (2 * Cpte) + (2 * Wlock)
where Cpte is incurred twice for a read and a write and Wlock
is a constant representing the cost of taking or releasing a
lock
Cnumahint = Cost of a minor page fault = some high constant e.g. 1000
Cpagerw = Cost to read or write a full page = Ca + PAGE_SIZE/u
Ci = Cost of page isolation = Ca + Wi
where Wi is a constant that should reflect the approximate cost
of the locking operation
Cpagecopy = Cpagerw + (Cpagerw * Wnuma) + Ci + (Ci * Wnuma)
where Wnuma is the approximate NUMA factor. 1 is local. 1.2
would imply that remote accesses are 20% more expensive
Balancing cost = Cpte * numa_pte_updates +
Cnumahint * numa_hint_faults +
Ci * numa_pages_migrated +
Cpagecopy * numa_pages_migrated
Note that numa_pages_migrated is used as a measure of how many pages
were isolated even though it would miss pages that failed to migrate. A
vmstat counter could have been added for it but the isolation cost is
pretty marginal in comparison to the overall cost so it seemed overkill.
The ideal way to measure automatic placement benefit would be to count
the number of remote accesses versus local accesses and do something like
benefit = (remote_accesses_before - remove_access_after) * Wnuma
but the information is not readily available. As a workload converges, the
expection would be that the number of remote numa hints would reduce to 0.
convergence = numa_hint_faults_local / numa_hint_faults
where this is measured for the last N number of
numa hints recorded. When the workload is fully
converged the value is 1.
This can measure if the placement policy is converging and how fast it is
doing it.

The use of MPOL_NOOP and MPOL_MF_LAZY to allow an application to
explicitly request lazy migration is a good idea but the actual
API has not been well reviewed and once released we have to support it.
For now this patch prevents an application using the services. This
will need to be revisited.

This patch converts change_prot_numa() to use change_protection(). As
pte_numa and friends check the PTE bits directly it is necessary for
change_protection() to use pmd_mknuma(). Hence the required
modifications to change_protection() are a little clumsy but the
end result is that most of the numa page table helpers are just one or
two instructions.

NOTE: Once again there is a lot of patch stealing and the end result
is sufficiently different that I had to drop the signed-offs.
Will re-add if the original authors are ok with that.
This patch adds another mbind() flag to request "lazy migration". The
flag, MPOL_MF_LAZY, modifies MPOL_MF_MOVE* such that the selected
pages are marked PROT_NONE. The pages will be migrated in the fault
path on "first touch", if the policy dictates at that time.
"Lazy Migration" will allow testing of migrate-on-fault via mbind().
Also allows applications to specify that only subsequently touched
pages be migrated to obey new policy, instead of all pages in range.
This can be useful for multi-threaded applications working on a
large shared data area that is initialized by an initial thread
resulting in all pages on one [or a few, if overflowed] nodes.
After PROT_NONE, the pages in regions assigned to the worker threads
will be automatically migrated local to the threads on 1st touch.

This patch provides a new function to test whether a page resides
on a node that is appropriate for the mempolicy for the vma and
address where the page is supposed to be mapped. This involves
looking up the node where the page belongs. So, the function
returns that node so that it may be used to allocated the page
without consulting the policy again.
A subsequent patch will call this function from the fault path.
Because of this, I don't want to go ahead and allocate the page, e.g.,
via alloc_page_vma() only to have to free it if it has the correct
policy. So, I just mimic the alloc_page_vma() node computation
logic--sort of.
Note: we could use this function to implement a MPOL_MF_STRICT
behavior when migrating pages to match mbind() mempolicy--e.g.,
to ensure that pages in an interleaved range are reinterleaved
rather than left where they are when they reside on any page in
the interleave nodemask.

This patch augments the MPOL_MF_LAZY feature by adding a "NOOP" policy
to mbind(). When the NOOP policy is used with the 'MOVE and 'LAZY
flags, mbind() will map the pages PROT_NONE so that they will be
migrated on the next touch.
This allows an application to prepare for a new phase of operation
where different regions of shared storage will be assigned to
worker threads, w/o changing policy. Note that we could just use
"default" policy in this case. However, this also allows an
application to request that pages be migrated, only if necessary,
to follow any arbitrary policy that might currently apply to a
range of pages, without knowing the policy, or without specifying
multiple mbind()s for ranges with different policies.

This fixes a regression in 3.7-rc, which has since gone into stable.
Commit 00442ad04a5e ("mempolicy: fix a memory corruption by refcount
imbalance in alloc_pages_vma()") changed get_vma_policy() to raise the
refcount on a shmem shared mempolicy; whereas shmem_alloc_page() went
on expecting alloc_page_vma() to drop the refcount it had acquired.
This deserves a rework: but for now fix the leak in shmem_alloc_page().
Hugh: shmem_swapin() did not need a fix, but surely it's clearer to use
the same refcounting there as in shmem_alloc_page(), delete its onstack
mempolicy, and the strange mpol_cond_copy() and __mpol_cond_copy() -
those were invented to let swapin_readahead() make an unknown number of
calls to alloc_pages_vma() with one mempolicy; but since 00442ad04a5e,
alloc_pages_vma() has kept refcount in balance, so now no problem.

When reading /proc/pid/numa_maps, it's possible to return the contents of
the stack where the mempolicy string should be printed if the policy gets
freed from beneath us.
This happens because mpol_to_str() may return an error the
stack-allocated buffer is then printed without ever being stored.
There are two possible error conditions in mpol_to_str():
- if the buffer allocated is insufficient for the string to be stored,
and
- if the mempolicy has an invalid mode.
The first error condition is not triggered in any of the callers to
mpol_to_str(): at least 50 bytes is always allocated on the stack and this
is sufficient for the string to be written. A future patch should convert
this into BUILD_BUG_ON() since we know the maximum strlen possible, but
that's not -rc material.
The second error condition is possible if a race occurs in dropping a
reference to a task's mempolicy causing it to be freed during the read().
The slab poison value is then used for the mode and mpol_to_str() returns
-EINVAL.
This race is only possible because get_vma_policy() believes that
mm->mmap_sem protects task->mempolicy, which isn't true. The exit path
does not hold mm->mmap_sem when dropping the reference or setting
task->mempolicy to NULL: it uses task_lock(task) instead.
Thus, it's required for the caller of a task mempolicy to hold
task_lock(task) while grabbing the mempolicy and reading it. Callers with
a vma policy store their mempolicy earlier and can simply increment the
reference count so it's guaranteed not to be freed.

Quote from Johannes
: I think it makes sense to revert. Not because of the semantics, but I
: just don't see how check_range() could even fail for this callsite:
:
: 1. we pass mm->mmap->vm_start in there, so we should not fail due to
: find_vma()
:
: 2. we pass MPOL_MF_DISCONTIG_OK, so the discontig checks do not apply
: and so can not fail
:
: 3. we pass MPOL_MF_MOVE | MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL, the page table loops will
: continue until addr == end, so we never fail with -EIO
And I added a new VM_BUG_ON for checking migrate_to_node's future usecase
which might pass to MPOL_MF_STRICT.

Commit cc9a6c877661 ("cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier
related damage v3") introduced a potential memory corruption.
shmem_alloc_page() uses a pseudo vma and it has one significant unique
combination, vma->vm_ops=NULL and vma->policy->flags & MPOL_F_SHARED.
get_vma_policy() does NOT increase a policy ref when vma->vm_ops=NULL
and mpol_cond_put() DOES decrease a policy ref when a policy has
MPOL_F_SHARED. Therefore, when a cpuset update race occurs,
alloc_pages_vma() falls in 'goto retry_cpuset' path, decrements the
reference count and frees the policy prematurely.

When shared_policy_replace() fails to allocate new->policy is not freed

shared_policy_replace() use of sp_alloc() is unsafe. 1) sp_node cannot
be dereferenced if sp->lock is not held and 2) another thread can modify
sp_node between spin_unlock for allocating a new sp node and next
spin_lock. The bug was introduced before 2.6.12-rc2.
Kosaki's original patch for this problem was to allocate an sp node and
policy within shared_policy_replace and initialise it when the lock is
reacquired. I was not keen on this approach because it partially
duplicates sp_alloc(). As the paths were sp->lock is taken are not that
performance critical this patch converts sp->lock to sp->mutex so it can
sleep when calling sp_alloc().

The problem is that the structure is being prematurely freed due to a
reference count imbalance. In the following case mbind(addr, len) should
replace the memory policies of both vma1 and vma2 and thus they will
become to share the same mempolicy and the new mempolicy will have the
MPOL_F_SHARED flag.

alloc_pages_vma() uses get_vma_policy() and mpol_cond_put() pair for
maintaining the mempolicy reference count. The current rule is that
get_vma_policy() only increments refcount for shmem VMA and
mpol_conf_put() only decrements refcount if the policy has
MPOL_F_SHARED.
In above case, vma1 is not shmem vma and vma->policy has MPOL_F_SHARED!
The reference count will be decreased even though was not increased
whenever alloc_page_vma() is called. This has been broken since commit
[52cd3b07: mempolicy: rework mempolicy Reference Counting] in 2008.
There is another serious bug with the sharing of memory policies.
Currently, mempolicy rebind logic (it is called from cpuset rebinding)
ignores a refcount of mempolicy and override it forcibly. Thus, any
mempolicy sharing may cause mempolicy corruption. The bug was
introduced by commit [68860ec1: cpusets: automatic numa mempolicy
rebinding].
Ideally, the shared policy handling would be rewritten to either
properly handle COW of the policy structures or at least reference count
MPOL_F_SHARED based exclusively on information within the policy.
However, this patch takes the easier approach of disabling any policy
sharing between VMAs. Each new range allocated with sp_alloc will
allocate a new policy, set the reference count to 1 and drop the
reference count of the old policy. This increases the memory footprint
but is not expected to be a major problem as mbind() is unlikely to be
used for fine-grained ranges. It is also inefficient because it means
we allocate a new policy even in cases where mbind_range() could use the
new_policy passed to it. However, it is more straight-forward and the
change should be invisible to the user.

If the range passed to mbind() is not allocated on nodes set in the
nodemask, it migrates the pages to respect the constraint.
The final formal of migrate_pages() is a mode of type enum migrate_mode,
not a boolean. do_mbind() is currently passing "true" which is the
equivalent of MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT. This should instead be MIGRATE_SYNC
for synchronous page migration.

slab_node() could access current->mempolicy from interrupt context.
However there's a race condition during exit where the mempolicy
is first freed and then the pointer zeroed.
Using this from interrupts seems bogus anyways. The interrupt
will interrupt a random process and therefore get a random
mempolicy. Many times, this will be idle's, which noone can change.
Just disable this here and always use local for slab
from interrupts. I also cleaned up the callers of slab_node a bit
which always passed the same argument.
I believe the original mempolicy code did that in fact,
so it's likely a regression.
v2: send version with correct logic
v3: simplify. fix typo.

While running an application that moves tasks from one cpuset to another
I noticed that it takes much longer and moves many more pages than
expected.
The reason for this is do_migrate_pages() does its best to preserve the
relative node differential from the first node of the cpuset because the
application may have been written with that in mind. If memory was
interleaved on the nodes of the source cpuset by an application
do_migrate_pages() will try its best to maintain that interleaving on
the nodes of the destination cpuset. This means copying the memory from
all source nodes to the destination nodes even if the source and
destination nodes overlap.
This is a problem for userspace NUMA placement tools. The amount of
time spent doing extra memory moves cancels out some of the NUMA
performance improvements. Furthermore, if the number of source and
destination nodes are to maintain the previous interleaving layout
anyway.
This patch changes do_migrate_pages() to only preserve the relative
layout inside the program if the number of NUMA nodes in the source and
destination mask are the same. If the number is different, we do a much
more efficient migration by not touching memory that is in an allowed
node.
This preserves the old behaviour for programs that want it, while
allowing a userspace NUMA placement tool to use the new, faster
migration. This improves performance in our tests by up to a factor of
7.
Without this change migrating tasks from a cpuset containing nodes 0-7
to a cpuset containing nodes 3-4, we migrate from ALL the nodes even if
they are in the both the source and destination nodesets:
Migrating 7 to 4
Migrating 6 to 3
Migrating 5 to 4
Migrating 4 to 3
Migrating 1 to 4
Migrating 3 to 4
Migrating 0 to 3
Migrating 2 to 3
With this change we only migrate from nodes that are not in the
destination nodesets:
Migrating 7 to 4
Migrating 6 to 3
Migrating 5 to 4
Migrating 2 to 3
Migrating 1 to 4
Migrating 0 to 3
Yet if we move from a cpuset containing nodes 2,3,4 to a cpuset
containing 3,4,5 we still do move everything so that we preserve the
desired NUMA offsets:
Migrating 4 to 5
Migrating 3 to 4
Migrating 2 to 3
As far as performance is concerned this simple patch improves the time
it takes to move 14, 20 and 26 large tasks from a cpuset containing
nodes 0-7 to a cpuset containing nodes 1 & 3 by up to a factor of 7.

This implied a reference counting bug and the problem happened during
mbind().
mbind() applies a new memory policy to a range and uses mbind_range() to
merge existing VMAs or split them as necessary. In the event of splits,
mpol_dup() will allocate a new struct mempolicy and maintain existing
reference counts whose rules are documented in
Documentation/vm/numa_memory_policy.txt .
The problem occurs with shared memory policies. The vm_op->set_policy
increments the reference count if necessary and split_vma() and
vma_merge() have already handled the existing reference counts.
However, policy_vma() screws it up by replacing an existing
vma->vm_policy with one that potentially has the wrong reference count
leading to a premature free. This patch removes the damage caused by
policy_vma().
With this patch applied Dave's trinity tool runs an mbind test for 5
minutes without error. /proc/slabinfo reported that there are no
numa_policy or shared_policy_node objects allocated after the test
completed and the shared memory region was deleted.

Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman:
"This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can
reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete
implementation.
Highlights:
- Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and
code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe.
- Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the
config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable
user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission
checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe.
- All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial
user namespace before they are processed. Removing the need to add
an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared
uids remains the same.
- With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or
better than it is today.
- For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or
operationally with the user namespace enabled.
- The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1
billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code
enabled. This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to
164ns per stat operation).
- (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value.
Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially
anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause
entertaining failures in userspace.
- If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails.
I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I
could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and
handle the case where setuid fails.
- If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which
we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid. The LFS
experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be
better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I
can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we
can't map.
- Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it
safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.
My git tree covers all of the modifications needed to convert the core
kernel and enough changes to make a system bootable to runlevel 1."

Commit 3268c63 ("mm: fix move/migrate_pages() race on task struct") has
added an odd construct where 'mm' is checked for being NULL, and if it is,
it would get dereferenced anyways by mput()ing it.
This would lead to the following NULL ptr deref and BUG() when calling
migrate_pages() with a pid that has no mm struct:

Commit c0ff7453bb5c ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when
changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of
memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit.
[get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory
barriers inserted into a number of hot paths. This was detected while
investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time
after 2.6.32. The largest portion of this overhead was shown by
oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page
allocator hot path.
For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an
implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex.
This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write
sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path
side. This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86. The
main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a
manner that can cause a false failure.
While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure
is a risk. If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel
allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place.
In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from
__alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%. The
actual results were

The overall improvement is small but the System CPU time is much
improved and roughly in correlation to what oprofile reported (these
performance figures are without profiling so skew is expected). The
actual number of page faults is noticeably improved.
For benchmarks like kernel builds, the overall benefit is marginal but
the system CPU time is slightly reduced.
To test the actual bug the commit fixed I opened two terminals. The
first ran within a cpuset and continually ran a small program that
faulted 100M of anonymous data. In a second window, the nodemask of the
cpuset was continually randomised in a loop.
Without the commit, the program would fail every so often (usually
within 10 seconds) and obviously with the commit everything worked fine.
With this patch applied, it also worked fine so the fix should be
functionally equivalent.

Migration functions perform the rcu_read_unlock too early. As a result
the task pointed to may change from under us. This can result in an oops,
as reported by Dave Hansen in https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/23/302.
The following patch extend the period of the rcu_read_lock until after the
permissions checks are done. We also take a refcount so that the task
reference is stable when calling security check functions and performing
cpuset node validation (which takes a mutex).
The refcount is dropped before actual page migration occurs so there is no
change to the refcounts held during page migration.
Also move the determination of the mm of the task struct to immediately
before the do_migrate*() calls so that it is clear that we switch from
handling the task during permission checks to the mm for the actual
migration. Since the determination is only done once and we then no
longer use the task_struct we can be sure that we operate on a specific
address space that will not change from under us.

In some cases it may happen that pmd_none_or_clear_bad() is called with
the mmap_sem hold in read mode. In those cases the huge page faults can
allocate hugepmds under pmd_none_or_clear_bad() and that can trigger a
false positive from pmd_bad() that will not like to see a pmd
materializing as trans huge.
It's not khugepaged causing the problem, khugepaged holds the mmap_sem
in write mode (and all those sites must hold the mmap_sem in read mode
to prevent pagetables to go away from under them, during code review it
seems vm86 mode on 32bit kernels requires that too unless it's
restricted to 1 thread per process or UP builds). The race is only with
the huge pagefaults that can convert a pmd_none() into a
pmd_trans_huge().
Effectively all these pmd_none_or_clear_bad() sites running with
mmap_sem in read mode are somewhat speculative with the page faults, and
the result is always undefined when they run simultaneously. This is
probably why it wasn't common to run into this. For example if the
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) runs zap_page_range() shortly before the page
fault, the hugepage will not be zapped, if the page fault runs first it
will be zapped.
Altering pmd_bad() not to error out if it finds hugepmds won't be enough
to fix this, because zap_pmd_range would then proceed to call
zap_pte_range (which would be incorrect if the pmd become a
pmd_trans_huge()).
The simplest way to fix this is to read the pmd in the local stack
(regardless of what we read, no need of actual CPU barriers, only
compiler barrier needed), and be sure it is not changing under the code
that computes its value. Even if the real pmd is changing under the
value we hold on the stack, we don't care. If we actually end up in
zap_pte_range it means the pmd was not none already and it was not huge,
and it can't become huge from under us (khugepaged locking explained
above).
All we need is to enforce that there is no way anymore that in a code
path like below, pmd_trans_huge can be false, but pmd_none_or_clear_bad
can run into a hugepmd. The overhead of a barrier() is just a compiler
tweak and should not be measurable (I only added it for THP builds). I
don't exclude different compiler versions may have prevented the race
too by caching the value of *pmd on the stack (that hasn't been
verified, but it wouldn't be impossible considering
pmd_none_or_clear_bad, pmd_bad, pmd_trans_huge, pmd_none are all inlines
and there's no external function called in between pmd_trans_huge and
pmd_none_or_clear_bad).
if (pmd_trans_huge(*pmd)) {
if (next-addr != HPAGE_PMD_SIZE) {
VM_BUG_ON(!rwsem_is_locked(&tlb->mm->mmap_sem));
split_huge_page_pmd(vma->vm_mm, pmd);
} else if (zap_huge_pmd(tlb, vma, pmd, addr))
continue;
/* fall through */
}
if (pmd_none_or_clear_bad(pmd))
Because this race condition could be exercised without special
privileges this was reported in CVE-2012-1179.
The race was identified and fully explained by Ulrich who debugged it.
I'm quoting his accurate explanation below, for reference.
====== start quote =======
mapcount 0 page_mapcount 1
kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1384!
At some point prior to the panic, a "bad pmd ..." message similar to the
following is logged on the console:
mm/memory.c:145: bad pmd ffff8800376e1f98(80000000314000e7).
The "bad pmd ..." message is logged by pmd_clear_bad() before it clears
the page's PMD table entry.
143 void pmd_clear_bad(pmd_t *pmd)
144 {
-> 145 pmd_ERROR(*pmd);
146 pmd_clear(pmd);
147 }
After the PMD table entry has been cleared, there is an inconsistency
between the actual number of PMD table entries that are mapping the page
and the page's map count (_mapcount field in struct page). When the page
is subsequently reclaimed, __split_huge_page() detects this inconsistency.
1381 if (mapcount != page_mapcount(page))
1382 printk(KERN_ERR "mapcount %d page_mapcount %d\n",
1383 mapcount, page_mapcount(page));
-> 1384 BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page));
The root cause of the problem is a race of two threads in a multithreaded
process. Thread B incurs a page fault on a virtual address that has never
been accessed (PMD entry is zero) while Thread A is executing an madvise()
system call on a virtual address within the same 2 MB (huge page) range.

// Here we set the page's PMD entry which will be cleared
// when Thread A calls pmd_clear_bad().
...
spin_unlock(&mm->page_table_lock)
The mmap_sem does not prevent the race because both threads are acquiring
it in shared mode (down_read). Thread B holds the page_table_lock while
the page's map count and PMD table entry are updated. However, Thread A
does not synchronize on that lock.

Several users of "find_vma_prev()" were not in fact interested in the
previous vma if there was no primary vma to be found either. And in
those cases, we're much better off just using the regular "find_vma()",
and then "prev" can be looked up by just checking vma->vm_prev.
The find_vma_prev() semantics are fairly subtle (see Mikulas' recent
commit 83cd904d271b: "mm: fix find_vma_prev"), and the whole "return
prev by reference" means that it generates worse code too.
Thus this "let's avoid using this inconvenient and clearly too subtle
interface when we don't really have to" patch.

This patch adds a lightweight sync migrate operation MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT
mode that avoids writing back pages to backing storage. Async compaction
maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT.
For other migrate_pages users such as memory hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is
used.
This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time,
particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be a
large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not support
->writepages.

commit 8aacc9f550 ("mm/mempolicy.c: fix pgoff in mbind vma merge") is the
slightly incorrect fix.
Why? Think following case.
1. map 4 pages of a file at offset 0
[0123]
2. map 2 pages just after the first mapping of the same file but with
page offset 2
[0123][23]
3. mbind() 2 pages from the first mapping at offset 2.
mbind_range() should treat new vma is,
[0123][23]
|23|
mbind vma
but it does
[0123][23]
|01|
mbind vma
Oops. then, it makes wrong vma merge and splitting ([01][0123] or similar).
This patch fixes it.

The files changed within are only using the EXPORT_SYMBOL
macro variants. They are not using core modular infrastructure
and hence don't need module.h but only the export.h header.

commit 9d8cebd4bcd7 ("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:
addr = 0x7fa58f00c000
[snip]
7fa58f00c000-7fa58f00d000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0
7fa58f00d000-7fa58f00e000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0
7fa58f00e000-7fa58f00f000 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
9d8cebd, we get the correct result:
addr = 0x7ffa5aaa2000
[snip]
7ffa5aaa2000-7ffa5aaa6000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0

[ This patch has already been accepted as commit 0ac0c0d0f837 but later
reverted (commit 35926ff5fba8) because it itroduced arch specific
__node_random which was defined only for x86 code so it broke other
archs. This is a followup without any arch specific code. Other than
that there are no functional changes.]
Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign
too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems). Part of the reason is
that the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts
at node 0 for newly created tasks.
This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number
of the cpuset.

Moving show_numa_map() from mempolicy.c to task_mmu.c solves several
issues.
- Having the show() operation "miles away" from the corresponding
seq_file iteration operations is a maintenance burden.
- The need to export ad hoc info like struct proc_maps_private is
eliminated.
- The implementation of show_numa_map() can be improved in a simple
manner by cooperating with the other seq_file operations (start,
stop, etc) -- something that would be messy to do without this
change.

Improve the prototype of gather_stats() to take a struct numa_maps as
argument instead of a generic void *. Update all callers to make the
required type explicit.
Since gather_stats() is not needed before its definition and is scheduled
to be moved out of mempolicy.c the declaration is removed as well.
