Commit 8a965b3baa89 ("mm, slab_common: Fix bootstrap creation of kmalloc
caches") introduced a regression that caused us to crash early during
boot. The commit was introducing ordering of slab creation, making sure
two odd-sized slabs were created after specific powers of two sizes.
But, if any of the power of two slabs were created earlier during boot,
slabs at index 1 or 2 might not get created at all. This patch makes
sure none of the slabs get skipped.
Tony Lindgren bisected this down to the offending commit, which really
helped because bisect kept bringing me to almost but not quite this one.

Bunch of performance improvements and cleanups Zach Brown and I have
been working on. The code should be pretty solid at this point, though
it could of course use more review and testing.
The results in my testing are pretty impressive, particularly when an
ioctx is being shared between multiple threads. In my crappy synthetic
benchmark, with 4 threads submitting and one thread reaping completions,
I saw overhead in the aio code go from ~50% (mostly ioctx lock
contention) to low single digits. Performance with ioctx per thread
improved too, but I'd have to rerun those benchmarks.
The reason I've been focused on performance when the ioctx is shared is
that for a fair number of real world completions, userspace needs the
completions aggregated somehow - in practice people just end up
implementing this aggregation in userspace today, but if it's done right
we can do it much more efficiently in the kernel.
Performance wise, the end result of this patch series is that submitting
a kiocb writes to _no_ shared cachelines - the penalty for sharing an
ioctx is gone there. There's still going to be some cacheline
contention when we deliver the completions to the aio ringbuffer (at
least if you have interrupts being delivered on multiple cores, which
for high end stuff you do) but I have a couple more patches not in this
series that implement coalescing for that (by taking advantage of
interrupt coalescing). With that, there's basically no bottlenecks or
performance issues to speak of in the aio code.
This patch:
use_mm() is used in more places than just aio. There's no need to mention
callers when describing the function.

The current kernel returns -EINVAL unless a given mmap length is
"almost" hugepage aligned. This is because in sys_mmap_pgoff() the
given length is passed to vm_mmap_pgoff() as it is without being aligned
with hugepage boundary.
This is a regression introduced in commit 40716e29243d ("hugetlbfs: fix
alignment of huge page requests"), where alignment code is pushed into
hugetlb_file_setup() and the variable len in caller side is not changed.
To fix this, this patch partially reverts that commit, and adds
alignment code in caller side. And it also introduces hstate_sizelog()
in order to get proper hstate to specified hugepage size.

This exports the amount of anonymous transparent hugepages for each
memcg via the new "rss_huge" stat in memory.stat. The units are in
bytes.
This is helpful to determine the hugepage utilization for individual
jobs on the system in comparison to rss and opportunities where
MADV_HUGEPAGE may be helpful.
The amount of anonymous transparent hugepages is also included in "rss"
for backwards compatibility.

kmalloc allocations with commit e3366016 ("slab: Use common

behavior but also adds diagnostics so that we can figure where in the
code these large allocations occur.

If the nodeid is > num_online_nodes() this can cause an Oops and a
panic(). The purpose of this patch is to assert if this condition is
true to aid debugging efforts rather than some random NULL pointer
dereference or page fault.
This patch is in response to BZ#42967 [1]. Using VM_BUG_ON so it's used
only when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is set, given that ____cache_alloc_node() is a
hot code path.

With the goal of allowing tmem backends (zcache, ramster, Xen tmem) to
be built/loaded as modules rather than built-in and enabled by a boot
parameter, this patch provides "lazy initialization", allowing backends
to register to cleancache even after filesystems were mounted. Calls to
init_fs and init_shared_fs are remembered as fake poolids but no real
tmem_pools created. On backend registration the fake poolids are mapped
to real poolids and respective tmem_pools.

Frontswap initialization routine depends on swap_lock, which want to be
atomic about frontswap's first appearance. IOW, frontswap is not present
and will fail all calls OR frontswap is fully functional but if new
swap_info_struct isn't registered by enable_swap_info, swap subsystem
doesn't start I/O so there is no race between init procedure and page I/O
working on frontswap.
So let's remove unnecessary swap_lock dependency.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
- Fixes and a lot of cleanups. Locking cleanup is finally complete.
cgroup_mutex is no longer exposed to individual controlelrs which
used to cause nasty deadlock issues. Li fixed and cleaned up quite a
bit including long standing ones like racy cgroup_path().
- device cgroup now supports proper hierarchy thanks to Aristeu.
- perf_event cgroup now supports proper hierarchy.
- A new mount option "__DEVEL__sane_behavior" is added. As indicated
by the name, this option is to be used for development only at this
point and generates a warning message when used. Unfortunately,
cgroup interface currently has too many brekages and inconsistencies
to implement a consistent and unified hierarchy on top. The new flag
is used to collect the behavior changes which are necessary to
implement consistent unified hierarchy. It's likely that this flag
won't be used verbatim when it becomes ready but will be enabled
implicitly along with unified hierarchy.
The option currently disables some of broken behaviors in cgroup core
and also .use_hierarchy switch in memcg (will be routed through -mm),
which can be used to make very unusual hierarchy where nesting is
partially honored. It will also be used to implement hierarchy
support for blk-throttle which would be impossible otherwise without
introducing a full separate set of control knobs.
This is essentially versioning of interface which isn't very nice but
at this point I can't see any other options which would allow keeping
the interface the same while moving towards hierarchy behavior which
is at least somewhat sane. The planned unified hierarchy is likely
to require some level of adaptation from userland anyway, so I think
it'd be best to take the chance and update the interface such that
it's supportable in the long term.
Maintaining the existing interface does complicate cgroup core but
shouldn't put too much strain on individual controllers and I think
it'd be manageable for the foreseeable future. Maybe we'll be able
to drop it in a decade.
Fix up conflicts (including a semantic one adding a new #include to ppc
that was uncovered by header the file changes) as per Tejun.

The memcg is not referenced, so it can be destroyed at anytime right
after we exit rcu read section, so it's not safe to access it.
To fix this, we call css_tryget() to get a reference while we're still
in rcu read section.
This also removes a bogus comment above __memcg_create_cache_enqueue().

There are times when HIGHMEM is enabled, but we don't prefer
CONFIG_BOUNCE to be enabled. CONFIG_BOUNCE can reduce the block device
throughput, and this is not ideal for machines where we don't gain much
by enabling it. So provide an option to deselect CONFIG_BOUNCE. The
observation was made while measuring eMMC throughput using iozone on an
ARM device with 1GB RAM.

As pointed out by Andrew Morton, the swap-over-NFS writeback is not
setting PageWriteback before it is queued for direct IO. While swap
pages do not participate in BDI or process dirty accounting and the IO
is synchronous, the writeback bit is still required and not setting it
in this case was an oversight. swapoff depends on the page writeback to
synchronoise all pending writes on a swap page before it is reused.
Swapcache freeing and reuse depend on checking the PageWriteback under
lock to ensure the page is safe to reuse.
Direct IO handlers and the direct IO handler for NFS do not deal with
PageWriteback as they are synchronous writes. In the case of NFS, it
schedules pages (or a page in the case of swap) for IO and then waits
synchronously for IO to complete in nfs_direct_write(). It is
recognised that this is a slowdown from normal swap handling which is
asynchronous and uses a completion handler. Shoving PageWriteback
handling down into direct IO handlers looks like a bad fit to handle the
swap case although it may have to be dealt with some day if swap is
converted to use direct IO in general and bmap is finally done away
with. At that point it will be necessary to refit asynchronous direct
IO with completion handlers onto the swap subsystem.
As swapcache currently depends on PageWriteback to protect against
races, this patch sets PageWriteback under the page lock before queueing
it for direct IO. It is cleared when the direct IO handler returns. IO
errors are treated similarly to the direct-to-bio case except PageError
is not set as in the case of swap-over-NFS, it is likely to be a
transient error.
It was asked what prevents such a page being reclaimed in parallel.
With this patch applied, such a page will now be skipped (most of the
time) or blocked until the writeback completes. Reclaim checks
PageWriteback under the page lock before calling try_to_free_swap and
the page lock should prevent the page being requeued for IO before it is
freed.
This and Jerome's related patch should considered for -stable as far
back as 3.6 when swap-over-NFS was introduced.

Since commit 62c230bc1790 ("mm: add support for a filesystem to activate
swap files and use direct_IO for writing swap pages"), swap_writepage()
calls direct_IO on swap files. However, in that case the page isn't
redirtied if I/O fails, and is therefore handled afterwards as if it has
been successfully written to the swap file, leading to memory corruption
when the page is eventually swapped back in.
This patch sets the page dirty when direct_IO() fails. It fixes a
memory corruption that happened while using swap-over-NFS.

A memcg may livelock when oom if the process that grabs the hierarchy's
oom lock is never the first process with PF_EXITING set in the memcg's
task iteration.
The oom killer, both global and memcg, will defer if it finds an
eligible process that is in the process of exiting and it is not being
ptraced. The idea is to allow it to exit without using memory reserves
before needlessly killing another process.
This normally works fine except in the memcg case with a large number of
threads attached to the oom memcg. In this case, the memcg oom killer
only gets called for the process that grabs the hierarchy's oom lock;
all others end up blocked on the memcg's oom waitqueue. Thus, if the
process that grabs the hierarchy's oom lock is never the first
PF_EXITING process in the memcg's task iteration, the oom killer is
constantly deferred without anything making progress.
The fix is to give PF_EXITING processes access to memory reserves so
that we've marked them as oom killed without any iteration. This allows
__mem_cgroup_try_charge() to succeed so that the process may exit. This
makes the memcg oom killer exemption for TIF_MEMDIE tasks, now
immediately granted for processes with pending SIGKILLs and those in the
exit path, to be equivalent to what is done for the global oom killer.

There are two convenient ways to report errors to userspace
1) retun error to original syscall for example write(2)
2) mark mapping with error flag and return it on later fsync(2)
Second one is broken if (mapping->nrpages == 0) This is real-life
situation because after error pages are likey to be truncated or
invalidated.
We have to return an error regardless to number of pages in the mapping.

In page reclaim, huge page is split. split_huge_page() adds tail pages
to LRU list. Since we are reclaiming a huge page, it's better we
reclaim all subpages of the huge page instead of just the head page.
This patch adds split tail pages to shrink page list so the tail pages
can be reclaimed soon.
Before this patch, run a swap workload:
thp_fault_alloc 3492
thp_fault_fallback 608
thp_collapse_alloc 6
thp_collapse_alloc_failed 0
thp_split 916
With this patch:
thp_fault_alloc 4085
thp_fault_fallback 16
thp_collapse_alloc 90
thp_collapse_alloc_failed 0
thp_split 1272
fallback allocation is reduced a lot.

To prevent flooding the swap device with writebacks, frontswap backends
need to count and limit the number of outstanding writebacks. The
incrementing of the counter can be done before the call to
__swap_writepage(). However, the caller must receive a notification
when the writeback completes in order to decrement the counter.
To achieve this functionality, this patch modifies __swap_writepage() to
take the bio completion callback function as an argument.
end_swap_bio_write(), the normal bio completion function, is also made
non-static so that code doing the accounting can call it after the
accounting is done.
There should be no behavioural change to existing code.

swap_writepage() is currently where frontswap hooks into the swap write
path to capture pages with the frontswap_store() function. However, if
a frontswap backend wants to "resume" the writeback of a page to the
swap device, it can't call swap_writepage() as the page will simply
reenter the backend.
This patch separates swap_writepage() into a top and bottom half, the
bottom half named __swap_writepage() to allow a frontswap backend, like
zswap, to resume writeback beyond the frontswap_store() hook.
__add_to_swap_cache() is also made non-static so that the page for which
writeback is to be resumed can be added to the swap cache.

Fix a corner case for MAP_FIXED when requested mapping length is larger
than rlimit for virtual memory. In such case any overlapping mappings
are unmapped before we check for the limit and return ENOMEM.
The check is moved before the loop that unmaps overlapping parts of
existing mappings. When we are about to hit the limit (currently mapped
pages + len > limit) we scan for overlapping pages and check again
accounting for them.
This fixes situation when userspace program expects that the previous
mappings are preserved after the mmap() syscall has returned with error.
(POSIX clearly states that successfull mapping shall replace any
previous mappings.)
This corner case was found and can be tested with LTP testcase:
testcases/open_posix_testsuite/conformance/interfaces/mmap/24-2.c
In this case the mmap, which is clearly over current limit, unmaps
dynamic libraries and the testcase segfaults right after returning into
userspace.
I've also looked at the second instance of the unmapping loop in the
do_brk(). The do_brk() is called from brk() syscall and from vm_brk().
The brk() syscall checks for overlapping mappings and bails out when
there are any (so it can't be triggered from the brk syscall). The
vm_brk() is called only from binmft handlers so it shouldn't be
triggered unless binmft handler created overlapping mappings.

With this patch userland applications that want to maintain the
interactivity/memory allocation cost can use the pressure level
notifications. The levels are defined like this:
The "low" level means that the system is reclaiming memory for new
allocations. Monitoring this reclaiming activity might be useful for
maintaining cache level. Upon notification, the program (typically
"Activity Manager") might analyze vmstat and act in advance (i.e.
prematurely shutdown unimportant services).
The "medium" level means that the system is experiencing medium memory
pressure, the system might be making swap, paging out active file
caches, etc. Upon this event applications may decide to further analyze
vmstat/zoneinfo/memcg or internal memory usage statistics and free any
resources that can be easily reconstructed or re-read from a disk.
The "critical" level means that the system is actively thrashing, it is
about to out of memory (OOM) or even the in-kernel OOM killer is on its
way to trigger. Applications should do whatever they can to help the
system. It might be too late to consult with vmstat or any other
statistics, so it's advisable to take an immediate action.
The events are propagated upward until the event is handled, i.e. the
events are not pass-through. Here is what this means: for example you
have three cgroups: A->B->C. Now you set up an event listener on
cgroups A, B and C, and suppose group C experiences some pressure. In
this situation, only group C will receive the notification, i.e. groups
A and B will not receive it. This is done to avoid excessive
"broadcasting" of messages, which disturbs the system and which is
especially bad if we are low on memory or thrashing. So, organize the
cgroups wisely, or propagate the events manually (or, ask us to
implement the pass-through events, explaining why would you need them.)
Performance wise, the memory pressure notifications feature itself is
lightweight and does not require much of bookkeeping, in contrast to the
rest of memcg features. Unfortunately, as of current memcg
implementation, pages accounting is an inseparable part and cannot be
turned off. The good news is that there are some efforts[1] to improve
the situation; plus, implementing the same, fully API-compatible[2]
interface for CONFIG_MEMCG=n case (e.g. embedded) is also a viable
option, so it will not require any changes on the userland side.

__remove_pages() is only necessary for CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. PowerPC
pseries will return -EOPNOTSUPP if unsupported.
Adding an #ifdef causes several other functions it depends on to also
become unnecessary, which saves in .text when disabled (it's disabled in
most defconfigs besides powerpc, including x86). remove_memory_block()
becomes static since it is not referenced outside of

Change __remove_pages() to call release_mem_region_adjustable(). This
allows a requested memory range to be released from the iomem_resource
table even if it does not match exactly to an resource entry but still
fits into. The resource entries initialized at bootup usually cover the
whole contiguous memory ranges and may not necessarily match with the
size of memory hot-delete requests.
If release_mem_region_adjustable() failed, __remove_pages() emits a
warning message and continues to proceed as it was the case with
release_mem_region(). release_mem_region(), which is defined to
__release_region(), emits a warning message and returns no error since a
void function.

Currently the memory barrier in __do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page doesn't
work. Because lru_cache_add_lru uses pagevec so it could miss spinlock
easily so above rule was broken so user might see inconsistent data.
I was not first person who pointed out the problem. Mel and Peter
pointed out a few months ago and Peter pointed out further that even
spin_lock/unlock can't make sure of it:
http://marc.info/?t=134333512700004
In particular:
*A = a;
LOCK
UNLOCK
*B = b;
may occur as:
LOCK, STORE *B, STORE *A, UNLOCK
At last, Hugh pointed out that even we don't need memory barrier in
there because __SetPageUpdate already have done it from Nick's commit
0ed361dec369 ("mm: fix PageUptodate data race") explicitly.
So this patch fixes comment on THP and adds same comment for
do_anonymous_page, too because everybody except Hugh was missing that.
It means we need a comment about that.
