If a slab cache is mergeable and the sysfs alias cannot be added, the
target cache shall have its refcount decremented.  kmem_cache_create()
will return NULL, so if kmem_cache_destroy() is ever called on the target
cache, it will never be freed if the refcount has been leaked.

Likewise, if a slab cache is not mergeable and the sysfs link cannot be
added, the new cache shall be removed from the slab_caches list.
kmem_cache_create() will return NULL, so it will be impossible to call
kmem_cache_destroy() on it.

Both of these operations require slub_lock since refcount of all slab
caches and slab_caches are protected by the lock.

In the mergeable case, it would be better to restore objsize and offset
back to their original values, but this could race with another merge
since slub_lock was dropped.

Commit 6cb06229 ("Categorize GFP flags")
left one call-site in alloc_slabmgmt() to clear GFP_THISNODE instead of
GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK. Unfortunately, that ends up clearing __GFP_NOWARN
and __GFP_NORETRY as well which is not what we want. As the only caller
of alloc_slabmgmt() already clears GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK before passing
local_flags to it, we can just remove the clearing of GFP_THISNODE.

Impact: Code transformation, new functions added should have no effect.

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

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

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

This patch:

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

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

Impact: cleanup, code robustization

The __swp_...() macros silently relied upon which bits are used for
_PAGE_FILE and _PAGE_PROTNONE. After having changed _PAGE_PROTNONE in
our Xen kernel to no longer overlap _PAGE_PAT, live locks and crashes
were reported that could have been avoided if these macros properly
used the symbolic constants. Since, as pointed out earlier, for Xen
Dom0 support mainline likewise will need to eliminate the conflict
between _PAGE_PAT and _PAGE_PROTNONE, this patch does all the necessary
adjustments, plus it introduces a mechanism to check consistency
between MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT and the actual encoding macros.

This also fixes a latent bug in that x86-64 used a 6-bit mask in
__swp_type(), and if MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT was increased beyond 5 in (the
seemingly unrelated) linux/swap.h, this would have resulted in a
collision with _PAGE_FILE.

Non-PAE 32-bit code gets similarly adjusted for its pte_to_pgoff() and
pgoff_to_pte() calculations.

The 100 slop which list_locations() allows at end of page looks roughly
enough for all the other stuff it might print after the symbol before
it checks again: break out KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN earlier than before.

Latencytop and ftrace and are using KSYM_NAME_LEN buffers where they
need KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN buffers, and vmallocinfo a 2*KSYM_NAME_LEN buffer
where it wants a KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN buffer: fix those before anyone copies

We count on the fact that new file pages start on the inactive file LRU

streaming file IO will increment the recent scanned file statistic, while
leaving the recent rotated file statistic alone, driving pageout scanning

Devices which share the same queue, like floppies and mtd devices, get
registered multiple times in the bdi interface, but bdi accounts only the
last registered device of the devices sharing one queue.

On remove, all earlier registered devices leak, stay around in sysfs, and
cause "duplicate filename" errors if the devices are re-created.

This prevents the creation of multiple bdi interfaces per queue, and the
bdi device will carry the dev_t name of the block device which is the
first one registered, of the pool of devices using the same queue.

Fixes for memcg/memory hotplug.

While memory hotplug allocate/free memmap, page_cgroup doesn't free
page_cgroup at OFFLINE when page_cgroup is allocated via bootomem.
(Because freeing bootmem requires special care.)

Then, if page_cgroup is allocated by bootmem and memmap is freed/allocated
by memory hotplug, page_cgroup->page == page is no longer true.

But current MEM_ONLINE handler doesn't check it and update
page_cgroup->page if it's not necessary to allocate page_cgroup.  (This
was not found because memmap is not freed if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is y.)

And I noticed that MEM_ONLINE can be called against "part of section".
So, freeing page_cgroup at CANCEL_ONLINE will cause trouble.  (freeing
used page_cgroup) Don't rollback at CANCEL.

One more, current memory hotplug notifier is stopped by slub because it
sets NOTIFY_STOP_MASK to return vaule.  So, page_cgroup's callback never
be called.  (low priority than slub now.)

I think this slub's behavior is not intentional(BUG). and fixes it.

Another way to be considered about page_cgroup allocation:
  - free page_cgroup at OFFLINE even if it's from bootmem
    and remove specieal handler. But it requires more changes.

Jim Radford has reported that the vmap subsystem rewrite was sometimes
causing his VIVT ARM system to behave strangely (seemed like going into
infinite loops trying to fault in pages to userspace).

We determined that the problem was most likely due to a cache aliasing
issue.  flush_cache_vunmap was only being called at the moment the page
tables were to be taken down, however with lazy unmapping, this can happen
after the page has subsequently been freed and allocated for something
else.  The dangling alias may still have dirty data attached to it.

The fix for this problem is to do the cache flushing when the caller has
called vunmap -- it would be a bug for them to write anything else to the
mapping at that point.

That appeared to solve Jim's problems.
