[ 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.

percpu_charge_mutex protects from multiple simultaneous per-cpu charge
caches draining because we might end up having too many work items. At
least this was the case until commit 26fe61684449 ("memcg: fix percpu
cached charge draining frequency") when we introduced a more targeted
draining for async mode.
Now that also sync draining is targeted we can safely remove mutex
because we will not send more work than the current number of CPUs.
FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE protects from sending the same work multiple
times and stock->nr_pages == 0 protects from pointless sending a work if
there is obviously nothing to be done. This is of course racy but we
can live with it as the race window is really small (we would have to
see FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE cleared while nr_pages would be still
non-zero).
The only remaining place where we can race is synchronous mode when we
rely on FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE test which might have been set by other
drainer on the same group but we should wait in that case as well.

Currently we have two ways how to drain per-CPU caches for charges.
drain_all_stock_sync will synchronously drain all caches while
drain_all_stock_async will asynchronously drain only those that refer to
a given memory cgroup or its subtree in hierarchy. Targeted async
draining has been introduced by 26fe6168 (memcg: fix percpu cached
charge draining frequency) to reduce the cpu workers number.
sync draining is currently triggered only from mem_cgroup_force_empty
which is triggered only by userspace (mem_cgroup_force_empty_write) or
when a cgroup is removed (mem_cgroup_pre_destroy). Although these are
not usually frequent operations it still makes some sense to do targeted
draining as well, especially if the box has many CPUs.
This patch unifies both methods to use the single code (drain_all_stock)
which relies on the original async implementation and just adds
flush_work to wait on all caches that are still under work for the sync
mode. We are using FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE bit check to prevent from
waiting on a work that we haven't triggered. Please note that both sync
and async functions are currently protected by percpu_charge_mutex so we
cannot race with other drainers.

drain_all_stock_async tries to optimize a work to be done on the work
queue by excluding any work for the current CPU because it assumes that
the context we are called from already tried to charge from that cache
and it's failed so it must be empty already.
While the assumption is correct we can optimize it even more by checking
the current number of pages in the cache. This will also reduce a work
on other CPUs with an empty stock.
For the current CPU we can simply call drain_local_stock rather than
deferring it to the work queue.

The commit log of 0ae5e89c60c9 ("memcg: count the soft_limit reclaim
in...") says it adds scanning stats to memory.stat file. But it doesn't
because we considered we needed to make a concensus for such new APIs.
This patch is a trial to add memory.scan_stat. This shows
- the number of scanned pages(total, anon, file)
- the number of rotated pages(total, anon, file)
- the number of freed pages(total, anon, file)
- the number of elaplsed time (including sleep/pause time)
for both of direct/soft reclaim.
The biggest difference with oringinal Ying's one is that this file
can be reset by some write, as
# echo 0 ...../memory.scan_stat
Example of output is here. This is a result after make -j 6 kernel
under 300M limit.

total_xxxx is for hierarchy management.
This will be useful for further memcg developments and need to be
developped before we do some complicated rework on LRU/softlimit
management.
This patch adds a new struct memcg_scanrecord into scan_control struct.
sc->nr_scanned at el is not designed for exporting information. For
example, nr_scanned is reset frequentrly and incremented +2 at scanning
mapped pages.
To avoid complexity, I added a new param in scan_control which is for
exporting scanning score.

Commit 22a668d7c3ef ("memcg: fix behavior under memory.limit equals to
memsw.limit") introduced "memsw_is_minimum" flag, which becomes true
when mem_limit == memsw_limit. The flag is checked at the beginning of
reclaim, and "noswap" is set if the flag is true, because using swap is
meaningless in this case.
This works well in most cases, but when we try to shrink mem_limit,
which is the same as memsw_limit now, we might fail to shrink mem_limit
because swap doesn't used.
This patch fixes this behavior by:
- check MEM_CGROUP_RECLAIM_SHRINK at the begining of reclaim
- If it is set, don't set "noswap" flag even if memsw_is_minimum is true.

Commit 246e87a93934 ("memcg: fix get_scan_count() for small targets")
fixes the memcg/kswapd behavior against small targets and prevent vmscan
priority too high.
But the implementation is too naive and adds another problem to small
memcg. It always force scan to 32 pages of file/anon and doesn't handle
swappiness and other rotate_info. It makes vmscan to scan anon LRU
regardless of swappiness and make reclaim bad. This patch fixes it by
adjusting scanning count with regard to swappiness at el.

the numbers of scanning anon are decreased(as expected), and elapsed time
reduced. By this patch, small memcgs will work better.
(*) Because the amount of file-cache is much bigger than anon,
recalaim_stat's rotate-scan counter make scanning files more.

memcg_oom_mutex is used to protect memcg OOM path and eventfd interface
for oom_control. None of the critical sections which it protects sleep
(eventfd_signal works from atomic context and the rest are simple linked
list resp. oom_lock atomic operations).
Mutex is also too heavyweight for those code paths because it triggers a
lot of scheduling. It also makes makes convoying effects more visible
when we have a big number of oom killing because we take the lock
mutliple times during mem_cgroup_handle_oom so we have multiple places
where many processes can sleep.

Commit 867578cb ("memcg: fix oom kill behavior") introduced a oom_lock
counter which is incremented by mem_cgroup_oom_lock when we are about to
handle memcg OOM situation. mem_cgroup_handle_oom falls back to a sleep
if oom_lock > 1 to prevent from multiple oom kills at the same time.
The counter is then decremented by mem_cgroup_oom_unlock called from the
same function.
This works correctly but it can lead to serious starvations when we have
many processes triggering OOM and many CPUs available for them (I have
tested with 16 CPUs).
Consider a process (call it A) which gets the oom_lock (the first one
that got to mem_cgroup_handle_oom and grabbed memcg_oom_mutex) and other
processes that are blocked on the mutex. While A releases the mutex and
calls mem_cgroup_out_of_memory others will wake up (one after another)
and increase the counter and fall into sleep (memcg_oom_waitq).
Once A finishes mem_cgroup_out_of_memory it takes the mutex again and
decreases oom_lock and wakes other tasks (if releasing memory by
somebody else - e.g. killed process - hasn't done it yet).
A testcase would look like:
Assume malloc XXX is a program allocating XXX Megabytes of memory
which touches all allocated pages in a tight loop
# swapoff SWAP_DEVICE
# cgcreate -g memory:A
# cgset -r memory.oom_control=0 A
# cgset -r memory.limit_in_bytes= 200M
# for i in `seq 100`
# do
# cgexec -g memory:A malloc 10 &
# done
The main problem here is that all processes still race for the mutex and
there is no guarantee that we will get counter back to 0 for those that
got back to mem_cgroup_handle_oom. In the end the whole convoy
in/decreases the counter but we do not get to 1 that would enable
killing so nothing useful can be done. The time is basically unbounded
because it highly depends on scheduling and ordering on mutex (I have
seen this taking hours...).
This patch replaces the counter by a simple {un}lock semantic. As
mem_cgroup_oom_{un}lock works on the a subtree of a hierarchy we have to
make sure that nobody else races with us which is guaranteed by the
memcg_oom_mutex.
We have to be careful while locking subtrees because we can encounter a
subtree which is already locked: hierarchy:
A
/ \
B \
/\ \
C D E
B - C - D tree might be already locked. While we want to enable locking
E subtree because OOM situations cannot influence each other we
definitely do not want to allow locking A.
Therefore we have to refuse lock if any subtree is already locked and
clear up the lock for all nodes that have been set up to the failure
point.
On the other hand we have to make sure that the rest of the world will
recognize that a group is under OOM even though it doesn't have a lock.
Therefore we have to introduce under_oom variable which is incremented
and decremented for the whole subtree when we enter resp. leave
mem_cgroup_handle_oom. under_oom, unlike oom_lock, doesn't need be
updated under memcg_oom_mutex because its users only check a single
group and they use atomic operations for that.
This can be checked easily by the following test case:
# cgcreate -g memory:A
# cgset -r memory.use_hierarchy=1 A
# cgset -r memory.oom_control=1 A
# cgset -r memory.limit_in_bytes= 100M
# cgset -r memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes= 100M
# cgcreate -g memory:A/B
# cgset -r memory.oom_control=1 A/B
# cgset -r memory.limit_in_bytes=20M
# cgset -r memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes=20M
# cgexec -g memory:A/B malloc 30 & #->this will be blocked by OOM of group B
# cgexec -g memory:A malloc 80 & #->this will be blocked by OOM of group A
While B gets oom_lock A will not get it. Both of them go into sleep and
wait for an external action. We can make the limit higher for A to
enforce waking it up
# cgset -r memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes=300M A
# cgset -r memory.limit_in_bytes=300M A
malloc in A has to wake up even though it doesn't have oom_lock.
Finally, the unlock path is very easy because we always unlock only the
subtree we have locked previously while we always decrement under_oom.

In mm/memcontrol.c, there are many lru stat functions as..
mem_cgroup_zone_nr_lru_pages
mem_cgroup_node_nr_file_lru_pages
mem_cgroup_nr_file_lru_pages
mem_cgroup_node_nr_anon_lru_pages
mem_cgroup_nr_anon_lru_pages
mem_cgroup_node_nr_unevictable_lru_pages
mem_cgroup_nr_unevictable_lru_pages
mem_cgroup_node_nr_lru_pages
mem_cgroup_nr_lru_pages
mem_cgroup_get_local_zonestat
Some of them are under #ifdef MAX_NUMNODES >1 and others are not.
This seems bad. This patch consolidates all functions into
mem_cgroup_zone_nr_lru_pages()
mem_cgroup_node_nr_lru_pages()
mem_cgroup_nr_lru_pages()
For these functions, "which LRU?" information is passed by a mask.
example:
mem_cgroup_nr_lru_pages(mem, BIT(LRU_ACTIVE_ANON))
And I added some macro as ALL_LRU, ALL_LRU_FILE, ALL_LRU_ANON.
example:
mem_cgroup_nr_lru_pages(mem, ALL_LRU)
BTW, considering layout of NUMA memory placement of counters, this patch seems
to be better.
Now, when we gather all LRU information, we scan in following orer
for_each_lru -> for_each_node -> for_each_zone.
This means we'll touch cache lines in different node in turn.
After patch, we'll scan
for_each_node -> for_each_zone -> for_each_lru(mask)
Then, we'll gather information in the same cacheline at once.

Each memory cgroup has a 'swappiness' value which can be accessed by
get_swappiness(memcg). The major user is try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages()
and swappiness is passed by argument. It's propagated by scan_control.
get_swappiness() is a static function but some planned updates will need
to get swappiness from files other than memcontrol.c This patch exports
get_swappiness() as mem_cgroup_swappiness(). With this, we can remove the
argument of swapiness from try_to_free... and drop swappiness from
scan_control. only memcg uses it.

shmem_unuse_inode() and shmem_writepage() contain a little code to cope
with pages inserted independently into the filecache, probably by a
filesystem stacked on top of tmpfs, then fed to its ->readpage() or
->writepage().
Unionfs was indeed experimenting with working in that way three years ago,
but I find no current examples: nowadays the stacking filesystems use vfs
interfaces to the lower filesystem.
It's now illegal: remove most of that code, adding some WARN_ON_ONCEs.

We can now simplify shmem_getpage_gfp(): there is no longer a dilemma of
filepage passed in via shmem_readpage(), then swappage found, which must
then be copied over to it.
Although at first it's tempting to replace the **pagep arg by returning
struct page *, that makes a mess of IS_ERR_OR_NULL(page)s in all the

Insert BUG_ON(!PageUptodate) when we find and lock page: some of the
complication came from uninitialized pages inserted into filecache prior
to readpage; but now we're in control, and only release pagelock on
filecache once it's uptodate (if an error occurs in reading back from
swap, the page remains in swapcache, never moved to filecache).

The prealloc_page handling in shmem_getpage_gfp() is unnecessarily
complicated: first simplify that before going on to filepage/swappage.
That's right, don't report ENOMEM when the preallocation fails: we may or
may not need the page. But simply report ENOMEM once we find we do need
it, instead of dropping lock, repeating allocation, unwinding on failure
etc. And leave the out label on the fast path, don't goto.
Fix something that looks like a bug but turns out not to be: set
PageSwapBacked on prealloc_page before its mem_cgroup_cache_charge(), as
the removed case was doing. That's important before adding to LRU
(determines which LRU the page goes on), and does affect which path it
takes through memcontrol.c, but in the end MEM_CGROUP_CHANGE_TYPE_ SHMEM
is handled no differently from CACHE.

Remove that pernicious shmem_readpage() at last: the things we needed it
for (splice, loop, sendfile, i915 GEM) are now fully taken care of by
shmem_file_splice_read() and shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp().
This removal clears the way for a simpler shmem_getpage_gfp(), since page
is never passed in; but leave most of that cleanup until after.
sys_readahead() and sys_fadvise(POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED) will now EINVAL,
instead of unexpectedly trying to read ahead on tmpfs: if that proves to
be an issue for someone, then we can either arrange for them to return
success instead, or try to implement async readahead on tmpfs.

Make shmem_getpage() a wrapper, passing mapping_gfp_mask() down to
shmem_getpage_gfp(), which in turn passes gfp down to shmem_swp_alloc().
Change shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() to use shmem_getpage_gfp() in the
CONFIG_SHMEM case; but leave tiny !SHMEM using read_cache_page_gfp().
Add a BUG_ON() in case anyone happens to call this on a non-shmem mapping;
though we might later want to let that case route to read_cache_page_gfp().
It annoys me to have these two almost-redundant args, gfp and fault_type:
I can't find a better way; but initialize fault_type only in shmem_fault().
Note that before, read_cache_page_gfp() was allocating i915_gem's pages
with __GFP_NORETRY as intended; but the corresponding swap vector pages
got allocated without it, leaving a small possibility of OOM.

I haven't reproduced it myself but the fail scenario is that on such
machines (notably ARM and some embedded powerpc), if you manage to hit
that futex path on a writable page whose dirty bit has gone from the PTE,
you'll livelock inside the kernel from what I can tell.
It will go in a loop of trying the atomic access, failing, trying gup to
"fix it up", getting succcess from gup, go back to the atomic access,
failing again because dirty wasn't fixed etc...
So I think you essentially hang in the kernel.
The scenario is probably rare'ish because affected architecture are
embedded and tend to not swap much (if at all) so we probably rarely hit
the case where dirty is missing or young is missing, but I think Shan has
a piece of SW that can reliably reproduce it using a shared writable
mapping & fork or something like that.
On archs who use SW tracking of dirty & young, a page without dirty is
effectively mapped read-only and a page without young unaccessible in the
PTE.
Additionally, some architectures might lazily flush the TLB when relaxing
write protection (by doing only a local flush), and expect a fault to
invalidate the stale entry if it's still present on another processor.
The futex code assumes that if the "in_atomic()" access -EFAULT's, it can
"fix it up" by causing get_user_pages() which would then be equivalent to
taking the fault.
However that isn't the case. get_user_pages() will not call
handle_mm_fault() in the case where the PTE seems to have the right
permissions, regardless of the dirty and young state. It will eventually
update those bits ... in the struct page, but not in the PTE.
Additionally, it will not handle the lazy TLB flushing that can be
required by some architectures in the fault case.
Basically, gup is the wrong interface for the job. The patch provides a
more appropriate one which boils down to just calling handle_mm_fault()
since what we are trying to do is simulate a real page fault.
The futex code currently attempts to write to user memory within a
pagefault disabled section, and if that fails, tries to fix it up using
get_user_pages().
This doesn't work on archs where the dirty and young bits are maintained
by software, since they will gate access permission in the TLB, and will
not be updated by gup().
In addition, there's an expectation on some archs that a spurious write
fault triggers a local TLB flush, and that is missing from the picture as
well.
I decided that adding those "features" to gup() would be too much for this
already too complex function, and instead added a new simpler
fixup_user_fault() which is essentially a wrapper around handle_mm_fault()
which the futex code can call.

With zone_reclaim_mode enabled, it's possible for zones to be considered
full in the zonelist_cache so they are skipped in the future. If the
process enters direct reclaim, the ZLC may still consider zones to be full
even after reclaiming pages. Reconsider all zones for allocation if
direct reclaim returns successfully.

There have been a small number of complaints about significant stalls
while copying large amounts of data on NUMA machines reported on a
distribution bugzilla. In these cases, zone_reclaim was enabled by
default due to large NUMA distances. In general, the complaints have not
been about the workload itself unless it was a file server (in which case
the recommendation was disable zone_reclaim).
The stalls are mostly due to significant amounts of time spent scanning
the preferred zone for pages to free. After a failure, it might fallback
to another node (as zonelists are often node-ordered rather than
zone-ordered) but stall quickly again when the next allocation attempt
occurs. In bad cases, each page allocated results in a full scan of the
preferred zone.
Patch 1 checks the preferred zone for recent allocation failure
which is particularly important if zone_reclaim has failed
recently. This avoids rescanning the zone in the near future and
instead falling back to another node. This may hurt node locality
in some cases but a failure to zone_reclaim is more expensive than
a remote access.
Patch 2 clears the zlc information after direct reclaim.
Otherwise, zone_reclaim can mark zones full, direct reclaim can
reclaim enough pages but the zone is still not considered for
allocation.
This was tested on a 24-thread 2-node x86_64 machine. The tests were
focused on large amounts of IO. All tests were bound to the CPUs on
node-0 to avoid disturbances due to processes being scheduled on different
nodes. The kernels tested are

This test downloads a large tarfile and copies it with dd a number of

disturbingly high with a low efficiency but this is likely due to the
number of dirty pages encountered. The figures could probably be improved
with more work around how kswapd is used and how dirty pages are handled
but that is separate work and this result is significant on its own.

This test just creates a large file mapping and writes to it linearly.
Time to completion is again reduced.
The gains are mostly down to two things. In many cases, there is less
scanning as zone_reclaim simply gives up faster due to recent failures.
The second reason is that memory is used more efficiently. Instead of
scanning the preferred zone every time, the allocator falls back to
another zone and uses it instead improving overall memory utilisation.
This patch: initialise ZLC for first zone eligible for zone_reclaim.
The zonelist cache (ZLC) is used among other things to record if
zone_reclaim() failed for a particular zone recently. The intention is to
avoid a high cost scanning extremely long zonelists or scanning within the
zone uselessly.
Currently the zonelist cache is setup only after the first zone has been
considered and zone_reclaim() has been called. The objective was to avoid
a costly setup but zone_reclaim is itself quite expensive. If it is
failing regularly such as the first eligible zone having mostly mapped
pages, the cost in scanning and allocation stalls is far higher than the
ZLC initialisation step.
This patch initialises ZLC before the first eligible zone calls
zone_reclaim(). Once initialised, it is checked whether the zone failed
zone_reclaim recently. If it has, the zone is skipped. As the first zone
is now being checked, additional care has to be taken about zones marked
full. A zone can be marked "full" because it should not have enough
unmapped pages for zone_reclaim but this is excessive as direct reclaim or
kswapd may succeed where zone_reclaim fails. Only mark zones "full" after
zone_reclaim fails if it failed to reclaim enough pages after scanning.

Currently we are keeping faulted page locked throughout whole __do_fault
call (except for page_mkwrite code path) after calling file system's fault
code. If we do early COW, we allocate a new page which has to be charged
for a memcg (mem_cgroup_newpage_charge).
This function, however, might block for unbounded amount of time if memcg
oom killer is disabled or fork-bomb is running because the only way out of
the OOM situation is either an external event or OOM-situation fix.
In the end we are keeping the faulted page locked and blocking other
processes from faulting it in which is not good at all because we are
basically punishing potentially an unrelated process for OOM condition in
a different group (I have seen stuck system because of ld-2.11.1.so being
locked).
We can do test easily.
% cgcreate -g memory:A
% cgset -r memory.limit_in_bytes=64M A
% cgset -r memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes=64M A
% cd kernel_dir; cgexec -g memory:A make -j
Then, the whole system will live-locked until you kill 'make -j'
by hands (or push reboot...) This is because some important page in a
a shared library are locked.
Considering again, the new page is not necessary to be allocated
with lock_page() held. And usual page allocation may dive into
long memory reclaim loop with holding lock_page() and can cause
very long latency.
There are 3 ways.
1. do allocation/charge before lock_page()
Pros. - simple and can handle page allocation in the same manner.
This will reduce holding time of lock_page() in general.
Cons. - we do page allocation even if ->fault() returns error.
2. do charge after unlock_page(). Even if charge fails, it's just OOM.
Pros. - no impact to non-memcg path.
Cons. - implemenation requires special cares of LRU and we need to modify
page_add_new_anon_rmap()...
3. do unlock->charge->lock again method.
Pros. - no impact to non-memcg path.
Cons. - This may kill LOCK_PAGE_RETRY optimization. We need to release
lock and get it again...
This patch moves "charge" and memory allocation for COW page
before lock_page(). Then, we can avoid scanning LRU with holding
a lock on a page and latency under lock_page() will be reduced.
Then, above livelock disappears.

2.6.36's 7e496299d4d2 ("tmpfs: make tmpfs scalable with percpu_counter for
used blocks") to make tmpfs scalable with percpu_counter used
inode->i_lock in place of sbinfo->stat_lock around i_blocks updates; but
that was adverse to scalability, and unnecessary, since info->lock is
already held there in the fast paths.
Remove those uses of i_lock, and add info->lock in the three error paths
where it's then needed across shmem_free_blocks(). It's not actually
needed across shmem_unacct_blocks(), but they're so often paired that it
looks wrong to split them apart.

Make the pagevec_lookup loops in truncate_inode_pages_range(),
invalidate_mapping_pages() and invalidate_inode_pages2_range() more
consistent with each other.
They were relying upon page->index of an unlocked page, but apologizing
for it: accept it, embrace it, add comments and WARN_ONs, and simplify the
index handling.
invalidate_inode_pages2_range() had special handling for a wrapped
page->index + 1 = 0 case; but MAX_LFS_FILESIZE doesn't let us anywhere
near there, and a corrupt page->index in the radix_tree could cause more
trouble than that would catch. Remove that wrapped handling.
invalidate_inode_pages2_range() uses min() to limit the pagevec_lookup
when near the end of the range: copy that into the other two, although
it's less useful than you might think (it limits the use of the buffer,
rather than the indices looked up).

vmtruncate_range() is currently called only with page-aligned start and

potentially available either, even if we swap them out, they will just
relocate from memory into swap, total amount of immediate and

a63d83f427fb ("oom: badness heuristic rewrite") since it is a globally
exported function for clarity.
The prototype for the old function still existed in linux/oom.h, so remove
it. There are no existing users.
Also fixes documentation and comment references to badness() and adjusts
them accordingly.

Originally, walk_hugetlb_range() didn't require a caller take any lock.
But commit d33b9f45bd ("mm: hugetlb: fix hugepage memory leak in
walk_page_range") changed its rule. Because it added find_vma() call in
walk_hugetlb_range().
Any locking-rule change commit should write a doc too.

Currently, walk_page_range() calls find_vma() every page table for walk
iteration. but it's completely unnecessary if walk->hugetlb_entry is
unused. And we don't have to assume find_vma() is a lightweight
operation. So this patch checks the walk->hugetlb_entry and avoids the
find_vma() call if possible.
This patch also makes some cleanups. 1) remove ugly uninitialized_var()
and 2) #ifdef in function body.

The doc of find_vma() says,
/* Look up the first VMA which satisfies addr < vm_end, NULL if none. */
struct vm_area_struct *find_vma(struct mm_struct *mm, unsigned long addr)
{
(snip)
Thus, caller should confirm whether the returned vma matches a desired one.

This patch contains online_page_callback and apropriate functions for
registering/unregistering online page callbacks. It allows to do some
machine specific tasks during online page stage which is required to
implement memory hotplug in virtual machines. Currently this patch is
required by latest memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver patch
which will be posted soon.
Additionally, originial online_page() function was splited into
following functions doing "atomic" operations:
- __online_page_set_limits() - set new limits for memory management code,
- __online_page_increment_counters() - increment totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages,
- __online_page_free() - free page to allocator.
It was done to:
- not duplicate existing code,
- ease hotplug code devolpment by usage of well defined interface,
- avoid stupid bugs which are unavoidable when the same code
(by design) is developed in many places.

Vito said:
: The system has many usb disks coming and going day to day, with their
: respective bdi's having min_ratio set to 1 when inserted. It works for
: some time until eventually min_ratio can no longer be set, even when the
: active set of bdi's seen in /sys/class/bdi/*/min_ratio doesn't add up to

:
: This then leads to an unrelated starvation problem caused by write-heavy

Fix this leakage by resetting the bdi min_ratio when unregistering the
BDI.
