fragmentation_index() returns -1000 when the allocation might succeed
This doesn't match the comment and code in compaction_suitable(). I
thought compaction_suitable should return COMPACT_PARTIAL in -1000
case, because in this case allocation could succeed depending on
watermarks.
The impact of this is that compaction starts and compact_finished() is
called which rechecks the watermarks and the free lists. It should have
the same result in that compaction should not start but is more expensive.

Pages isolated for migration are accounted with the vmstat counters
NR_ISOLATE_[ANON|FILE]. Callers of migrate_pages() are expected to
increment these counters when pages are isolated from the LRU. Once the
pages have been migrated, they are put back on the LRU or freed and the
isolated count is decremented.
Memory failure is not properly accounting for pages it isolates causing
the NR_ISOLATED counters to be negative. On SMP builds, this goes
unnoticed as negative counters are treated as 0 due to expected per-cpu
drift. On UP builds, the counter is treated by too_many_isolated() as a
large value causing processes to enter D state during page reclaim or
compaction. This patch accounts for pages isolated by memory failure
correctly.

Based on Michal Hocko's comment.
We are not draining per cpu cached charges during soft limit reclaim
because background reclaim doesn't care about charges. It tries to free
some memory and charges will not give any.
Cached charges might influence only selection of the biggest soft limit
offender but as the call is done only after the selection has been already
done it makes no change.

For performance, memory cgroup caches some "charge" from res_counter into
per cpu cache. This works well but because it's cache, it needs to be
flushed in some cases. Typical cases are
1. when someone hit limit.
2. when rmdir() is called and need to charges to be 0.
But "1" has problem.
Recently, with large SMP machines, we see many kworker runs because of
flushing memcg's cache. Bad things in implementation are that even if a
cpu contains a cache for memcg not related to a memcg which hits limit,
drain code is called.
This patch does
A) check percpu cache contains a useful data or not.
B) check other asynchronous percpu draining doesn't run.
C) don't call local cpu callback.
(*)This patch avoid changing the calling condition with hard-limit.
When I run "cat 1Gfile > /dev/null" under 300M limit memcg,

Hierarchical reclaim doesn't swap out if memsw and resource limits are
thye same (memsw_is_minimum == true) because we would hit mem+swap limit
anyway (during hard limit reclaim).
If it comes to the soft limit we shouldn't consider memsw_is_minimum at
all because it doesn't make much sense. Either the soft limit is bellow
the hard limit and then we cannot hit mem+swap limit or the direct reclaim
takes a precedence.

Commit 21a3c9646873 ("memcg: allocate memory cgroup structures in local
nodes") makes page_cgroup allocation as NUMA aware. But that caused a
problem https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36192.
The problem was getting a NID from invalid struct pages, which was not
initialized because it was out-of-node, out of [node_start_pfn,
node_end_pfn)
Now, with sparsemem, page_cgroup_init scans pfn from 0 to max_pfn. But
this may scan a pfn which is not on any node and can access memmap which
is not initialized.
This makes page_cgroup_init() for SPARSEMEM node aware and remove a code
to get nid from page->flags. (Then, we'll use valid NID always.)

When 1GB hugepages are allocated on a system, free(1) reports less
available memory than what really is installed in the box. Also, if the
total size of hugepages allocated on a system is over half of the total
memory size, CommitLimit becomes a negative number.
The problem is that gigantic hugepages (order > MAX_ORDER) can only be
allocated at boot with bootmem, thus its frames are not accounted to
'totalram_pages'. However, they are accounted to hugetlb_total_pages()
What happens to turn CommitLimit into a negative number is this
calculation, in fs/proc/meminfo.c:
allowed = ((totalram_pages - hugetlb_total_pages())
* sysctl_overcommit_ratio / 100) + total_swap_pages;
A similar calculation occurs in __vm_enough_memory() in mm/mmap.c.
Also, every vm statistic which depends on 'totalram_pages' will render
confusing values, as if system were 'missing' some part of its memory.
Impact of this bug:
When gigantic hugepages are allocated and sysctl_overcommit_memory ==
OVERCOMMIT_NEVER. In a such situation, __vm_enough_memory() goes through
the mentioned 'allowed' calculation and might end up mistakenly returning
-ENOMEM, thus forcing the system to start reclaiming pages earlier than it
would be ususal, and this could cause detrimental impact to overall
system's performance, depending on the workload.
Besides the aforementioned scenario, I can only think of this causing
annoyances with memory reports from /proc/meminfo and free(1).

During memory hotplug we refresh zonelists when we online a page in a new
zone. It means that the node's zonelist is not initialized until pages
are onlined. So for example, "nid" passed by MEM_GOING_ONLINE notifier
will point to NODE_DATA(nid) which has no zone fallback list. Moreover,
if we hot-add cpu-only nodes, alloc_pages() will do no fallback.
This patch makes a zonelist when a new pgdata is available.
Note: in production, at fujitsu, memory should be onlined before cpu
and our server didn't have any memory-less nodes and had no problems.
But recent changes in MEM_GOING_ONLINE+page_cgroup
will access not initialized zonelist of node.
Anyway, there are memory-less node and we need some care.

Commit 56de7263fcf3 ("mm: compaction: direct compact when a high-order
allocation fails") introduced a check for cc->order == -1 in
compact_finished. We should continue compacting in that case because
the request came from userspace and there is no particular order to
compact for. Similar check has been added by 82478fb7 (mm: compaction:
prevent division-by-zero during user-requested compaction) for
compaction_suitable.
The check is, however, done after zone_watermark_ok which uses order as a
right hand argument for shifts. Not only watermark check is pointless if
we can break out without it but it also uses 1 << -1 which is not well
defined (at least from C standard). Let's move the -1 check above
zone_watermark_ok.

Running a ktest.pl git bisect, found the culprit: commit e303297e6c3a
("mm: extended batches for generic mmu_gather")
But although this was the commit triggering the bug, it was not the one
originally responsible for the bug. That was commit d16dfc550f53 ("mm:
mmu_gather rework").
The code in zap_pte_range() has something that looks like the following:
pte = pte_offset_map_lock(mm, pmd, addr, &ptl);
do {
[...]
} while (pte++, addr += PAGE_SIZE, addr != end);
pte_unmap_unlock(pte - 1, ptl);
The pte starts off pointing at the first element in the page table
directory that was returned by the pte_offset_map_lock(). When it's done
with the page, pte will be pointing to anything between the next entry and
the first entry of the next page inclusive. By doing a pte - 1, this puts
the pte back onto the original page, which is all that pte_unmap_unlock()
needs.
In most archs (64 bit), this is not an issue as the pte is ignored in the
pte_unmap_unlock(). But on 32 bit archs, where things may be kmapped, it
is essential that the pte passed to pte_unmap_unlock() resides on the same
page that was given by pte_offest_map_lock().
The problem came in d16dfc55 ("mm: mmu_gather rework") where it introduced
a "break;" from the while loop. This alone did not seem to easily trigger
the bug. But the modifications made by e303297e6 caused that "break;" to
be hit on the first iteration, before the pte++.
The pte not being incremented will now cause pte_unmap_unlock(pte - 1) to
be pointing to the previous page. This will cause the wrong page to be
unmapped, and also trigger the warning above.
The simple solution is to just save the pointer given by
pte_offset_map_lock() and use it in the unlock.

While testing for memcg aware swap token, I observed a swap token was
often grabbed an intermittent running process (eg init, auditd) and they
never release a token.
Why?
Some processes (eg init, auditd, audispd) wake up when a process exiting.
And swap token can be get first page-in process when a process exiting
makes no swap token owner. Thus such above intermittent running process
often get a token.
And currently, swap token priority is only decreased at page fault path.
Then, if the process sleep immediately after to grab swap token, the swap
token priority never be decreased. That's obviously undesirable.
This patch implement very poor (and lightweight) priority aging. It only
be affect to the above corner case and doesn't change swap tendency
workload performance (eg multi process qsbench load)

Currently, memcg reclaim can disable swap token even if the swap token mm
doesn't belong in its memory cgroup. It's slightly risky. If an admin
creates very small mem-cgroup and silly guy runs contentious heavy memory
pressure workload, every tasks are going to lose swap token and then
system may become unresponsive. That's bad.
This patch adds 'memcg' parameter into disable_swap_token(). and if the
parameter doesn't match swap token, VM doesn't disable it.

Then I ran a ktest.pl config_bisect and it came up with this config
as the problem:
CONFIG_SLOB
Looking at what is different between SLOB and SLAB and SLUB, I found
that the gfp flags are masked against gfp_allowed_mask in
SLAB and SLUB, but not SLOB.
On boot up, interrupts are disabled and lockdep will warn if some flags
are set in gfp and interrupts are disabled. But these flags are masked
off with the gfp_allowed_mask during boot. Because SLOB does not
mask the flags against gfp_allowed_mask it triggers the warn on.
Adding this mask fixes the bug. I also found that kmem_cache_alloc_node()
was missing both the mask and the lockdep check, and that was added too.

Caching "we have already removed suid/caps" was overenthusiastic as merged.
On network filesystems we might have had suid/caps set on another client,
silently picked by this client on revalidate, all of that *without* clearing
the S_NOSEC flag.
AFAICS, the only reasonably sane way to deal with that is
* new superblock flag; unless set, S_NOSEC is not going to be set.
* local block filesystems set it in their ->mount() (more accurately,
mount_bdev() does, so does btrfs ->mount(), users of mount_bdev() other than
local block ones clear it)
* if any network filesystem (or a cluster one) wants to use S_NOSEC,
it'll need to set MS_NOSEC in sb->s_flags *AND* take care to clear S_NOSEC when
inode attribute changes are picked from other clients.

On an architecture without CMPXCHG_LOCAL but with DEBUG_VM enabled,
the VM_BUG_ON() in __pcpu_double_call_return_bool() will cause an early
panic during boot unless we always align cpu_slab properly.
In principle we could remove the alignment-testing VM_BUG_ON() for
architectures that don't have CMPXCHG_LOCAL, but leaving it in means
that new code will tend not to break x86 even if it is introduced
on another platform, and it's low cost to require alignment.

This reverts commit a197b59ae6e8bee56fcef37ea2482dc08414e2ac.
As rmk says:
"Commit a197b59ae6e8 (mm: fail GFP_DMA allocations when ZONE_DMA is not
configured) is causing regressions on ARM with various drivers which
use GFP_DMA.
The behaviour up until now has been to silently ignore that flag when
CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is not enabled, and to allocate from the normal zone.
However, as a result of the above commit, such allocations now fail
which causes drivers to fail. These are regressions compared to the
previous kernel version."
so just revert it.

On one machine I've been getting hangs, a page fault's anon_vma_prepare()
waiting in anon_vma_lock(), other processes waiting for that page's lock.
This is a replay of last year's f18194275c39 "mm: fix hang on
anon_vma->root->lock".
The new page_lock_anon_vma() places too much faith in its refcount: when
it has acquired the mutex_trylock(), it's possible that a racing task in
anon_vma_alloc() has just reallocated the struct anon_vma, set refcount
to 1, and is about to reset its anon_vma->root.
Fix this by saving anon_vma->root, and relying on the usual page_mapped()
check instead of a refcount check: if page is still mapped, the anon_vma
is still ours; if page is not still mapped, we're no longer interested.

I've hit the "address >= vma->vm_end" check in do_page_add_anon_rmap()
just once. The stack showed khugepaged allocation trying to compact
pages: the call to page_add_anon_rmap() coming from remove_migration_pte().
That path holds anon_vma lock, but does not hold mmap_sem: it can
therefore race with a split_vma(), and in commit 5f70b962ccc2 "mmap:
avoid unnecessary anon_vma lock" we just took away the anon_vma lock
protection when adjusting vma->vm_end.
I don't think that particular BUG_ON ever caught anything interesting,
so better replace it by a comment, than reinstate the anon_vma locking.

While running fsx on tmpfs with a memhog then swapoff, swapoff was hanging
(interruptibly), repeatedly failing to locate the owner of a 0xff entry in
the swap_map.
Although shmem_writepage() does abandon when it sees incoming page index
is beyond eof, there was still a window in which shmem_truncate_range()
could come in between writepage's dropping lock and updating swap_map,
find the half-completed swap_map entry, and in trying to free it,
leave it in a state that swap_shmem_alloc() could not correct.
Arguably a bug in __swap_duplicate()'s and swap_entry_free()'s handling
of the different cases, but easiest to fix by moving swap_shmem_alloc()
under cover of the lock.
More interesting than the bug: it's been there since 2.6.33, why could
I not see it with earlier kernels? The mmotm of two weeks ago seems to
have some magic for generating races, this is just one of three I found.
With yesterday's git I first saw this in mainline, bisected in search of
that magic, but the easy reproducibility evaporated. Oh well, fix the bug.

Some recent benchmarking on btrfs showed that a major scaling bottleneck
on large systems on btrfs is currently the xattr lookup on every write.
Why xattr lookup on every write I hear you ask?
write wants to drop suid and security related xattrs that could set o
capabilities for executables. To do that it currently looks up
security.capability on EVERY write (even for non executables) to decide
whether to drop it or not.
In btrfs this causes an additional tree walk, hitting some per file system
locks and quite bad scalability. In a simple read workload on a 8S
system I saw over 90% CPU time in spinlocks related to that.
Chris Mason tells me this is also a problem in ext4, where it hits
the global mbcache lock.
This patch adds a simple per inode to avoid this problem. We only
do the lookup once per file and then if there is no xattr cache
the decision. All xattr changes clear the flag.
I also used the same flag to avoid the suid check, although
that one is pretty cheap.
A file system can also set this flag when it creates the inode,
if it has a cheap way to do so. This is done for some common file systems
in followon patches.
With this patch a major part of the lock contention disappears
for btrfs. Some testing on smaller systems didn't show significant
performance changes, but at least it helps the larger systems
and is generally more efficient.
v2: Rename is_sgid. add file system helper.

Two new stats in per-memcg memory.stat which tracks the number of page
faults and number of major page faults.
"pgfault"
"pgmajfault"
They are different from "pgpgin"/"pgpgout" stat which count number of
pages charged/discharged to the cgroup and have no meaning of reading/
writing page to disk.
It is valuable to track the two stats for both measuring application's
performance as well as the efficiency of the kernel page reclaim path.
Counting pagefaults per process is useful, but we also need the aggregated
value since processes are monitored and controlled in cgroup basis in
memcg.
Functional test: check the total number of pgfault/pgmajfault of all
memcgs and compare with global vmstat value:
$ cat /proc/vmstat | grep fault
pgfault 1070751
pgmajfault 553
$ cat /dev/cgroup/memory.stat | grep fault
pgfault 1071138
pgmajfault 553
total_pgfault 1071142
total_pgmajfault 553
$ cat /dev/cgroup/A/memory.stat | grep fault
pgfault 199
pgmajfault 0
total_pgfault 199
total_pgmajfault 0
Performance test: run page fault test(pft) wit 16 thread on faulting in
15G anon pages in 16G container. There is no regression noticed on the
"flt/cpu/s"

The new API exports numa_maps per-memcg basis. This is a piece of useful
information where it exports per-memcg page distribution across real numa
nodes.
One of the usecases is evaluating application performance by combining
this information w/ the cpu allocation to the application.
The output of the memory.numastat tries to follow w/ simiar format of
numa_maps like:
total=<total pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
file=<total file pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
anon=<total anon pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
unevictable=<total anon pages> N0=<node 0 pages> N1=<node 1 pages> ...
And we have per-node:
total = file + anon + unevictable
$ cat /dev/cgroup/memory/memory.numa_stat
total=250020 N0=87620 N1=52367 N2=45298 N3=64735

If the memcg reclaim code detects the target memcg below its limit it
exits and returns a guaranteed non-zero value so that the charge is
retried.
Nowadays, the charge side checks the memcg limit itself and does not rely
on this non-zero return value trick.
This patch removes it. The reclaim code will now always return the true
number of pages it reclaimed on its own.

During memory reclaim we determine the number of pages to be scanned per
zone as
(anon + file) >> priority.
Assume
scan = (anon + file) >> priority.
If scan < SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, the scan will be skipped for this time and
priority gets higher. This has some problems.
1. This increases priority as 1 without any scan.
To do scan in this priority, amount of pages should be larger than 512M.
If pages>>priority < SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, it's recorded and scan will be
batched, later. (But we lose 1 priority.)
If memory size is below 16M, pages >> priority is 0 and no scan in
DEF_PRIORITY forever.
2. If zone->all_unreclaimabe==true, it's scanned only when priority==0.
So, x86's ZONE_DMA will never be recoverred until the user of pages
frees memory by itself.
3. With memcg, the limit of memory can be small. When using small memcg,
it gets priority < DEF_PRIORITY-2 very easily and need to call
wait_iff_congested().
For doing scan before priorty=9, 64MB of memory should be used.
Then, this patch tries to scan SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX of pages in force...when
1. the target is enough small.
2. it's kswapd or memcg reclaim.
Then we can avoid rapid priority drop and may be able to recover
all_unreclaimable in a small zones. And this patch removes nr_saved_scan.
This will allow scanning in this priority even when pages >> priority is
very small.

Presently, memory cgroup's direct reclaim frees memory from the current
node. But this has some troubles. Usually when a set of threads works in
a cooperative way, they tend to operate on the same node. So if they hit
limits under memcg they will reclaim memory from themselves, damaging the
active working set.
For example, assume 2 node system which has Node 0 and Node 1 and a memcg
which has 1G limit. After some work, file cache remains and the usages
are
Node 0: 1M
Node 1: 998M.
and run an application on Node 0, it will eat its foot before freeing
unnecessary file caches.
This patch adds round-robin for NUMA and adds equal pressure to each node.
When using cpuset's spread memory feature, this will work very well.
But yes, a better algorithm is needed.

The global kswapd scans per-zone LRU and reclaims pages regardless of the
cgroup. It breaks memory isolation since one cgroup can end up reclaiming
pages from another cgroup. Instead we should rely on memcg-aware target
reclaim including per-memcg kswapd and soft_limit hierarchical reclaim under
memory pressure.
In the global background reclaim, we do soft reclaim before scanning the
per-zone LRU. However, the return value is ignored. This patch is the first
step to skip shrink_zone() if soft_limit reclaim does enough work.
This is part of the effort which tries to reduce reclaiming pages in global
LRU in memcg. The per-memcg background reclaim patchset further enhances the
per-cgroup targetting reclaim, which I should have V4 posted shortly.
Try running multiple memory intensive workloads within seperate memcgs. Watch
the counters of soft_steal in memory.stat.
$ cat /dev/cgroup/A/memory.stat | grep 'soft'
soft_steal 240000
soft_scan 240000
total_soft_steal 240000
total_soft_scan 240000

Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts
Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks
for cgroups's subsystem interface. Unlike can_attach and attach, these
are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when
attaching an entire threadgroup.
Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by
this. All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is
cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped
(though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to
attach_task and attach.
This is a pre-patch for cgroup-procs-writable.patch.

The type of vma->vm_flags is 'unsigned long'. Neither 'int' nor
'unsigned int'. This patch fixes such misuse.

[ Changed to use a typedef - we'll extend it to cover more cases
later, since there has been discussion about making it a 64-bit
type.. - Linus ]

This fourth patch of eight in this cleancache series provides the
core hooks in VFS for: initializing cleancache per filesystem;
capturing clean pages reclaimed by page cache; attempting to get
pages from cleancache before filesystem read; and ensuring coherency
between pagecache, disk, and cleancache. Note that the placement
of these hooks was stable from 2.6.18 to 2.6.38; a minor semantic
change was required due to a patchset in 2.6.39.
All hooks become no-ops if CONFIG_CLEANCACHE is unset, or become
a check of a boolean global if CONFIG_CLEANCACHE is set but no
cleancache "backend" has claimed cleancache_ops.
Details and a FAQ can be found in Documentation/vm/cleancache.txt
