Currently, zram has no feature to limit memory so theoretically zram can
deplete system memory.  Users have asked for a limit several times as even
without exhaustion zram makes it hard to control memory usage of the
platform.  This patchset adds the feature.

Patch 1 makes zs_get_total_size_bytes faster because it would be used
frequently in later patches for the new feature.

Patch 2 changes zs_get_total_size_bytes's return unit from bytes to page
so that zsmalloc doesn't need unnecessary operation(ie, << PAGE_SHIFT).

Patch 3 adds new feature.  I added the feature into zram layer, not
zsmalloc because limiation is zram's requirement, not zsmalloc so any
other user using zsmalloc(ie, zpool) shouldn't affected by unnecessary
branch of zsmalloc.  In future, if every users of zsmalloc want the
feature, then, we could move the feature from client side to zsmalloc
easily but vice versa would be painful.

Patch 4 adds news facility to report maximum memory usage of zram so that
this avoids user polling frequently via /sys/block/zram0/ mem_used_total
and ensures transient max are not missed.

This patch (of 4):

pages_allocated has counted in size_class structure and when user of
zsmalloc want to see total_size_bytes, it should gather all of count from
each size_class to report the sum.

It's not bad if user don't see the value often but if user start to see
the value frequently, it would be not a good deal for performance pov.

This patch moves the count from size_class to zs_pool so it could reduce
memory footprint (from [255 * 8byte] to [sizeof(atomic_long_t)]).

Performing vma lookups without taking the mm->mmap_sem is asking for
trouble.  While doing the search, the vma in question can be modified or
even removed before returning to the caller.  Take the lock (shared) in
order to avoid races while iterating through the vmacache and/or rbtree.
In addition, this guarantees that the address space will remain intact

vmstat workers are used for folding counter differentials into the zone,
per node and global counters at certain time intervals.  They currently
run at defined intervals on all processors which will cause some holdoff
for processors that need minimal intrusion by the OS.

The current vmstat_update mechanism depends on a deferrable timer firing
every other second by default which registers a work queue item that runs
on the local CPU, with the result that we have 1 interrupt and one
additional schedulable task on each CPU every 2 seconds If a workload
indeed causes VM activity or multiple tasks are running on a CPU, then
there are probably bigger issues to deal with.

However, some workloads dedicate a CPU for a single CPU bound task.  This
is done in high performance computing, in high frequency financial
applications, in networking (Intel DPDK, EZchip NPS) and with the advent
of systems with more and more CPUs over time, this may become more and
more common to do since when one has enough CPUs one cares less about
efficiently sharing a CPU with other tasks and more about efficiently
monopolizing a CPU per task.

The difference of having this timer firing and workqueue kernel thread
scheduled per second can be enormous.  An artificial test measuring the
worst case time to do a simple "i++" in an endless loop on a bare metal
system and under Linux on an isolated CPU with dynticks and with and
without this patch, have Linux match the bare metal performance (~700
cycles) with this patch and loose by couple of orders of magnitude (~200k
cycles) without it[*].  The loss occurs for something that just calculates
statistics.  For networking applications, for example, this could be the
difference between dropping packets or sustaining line rate.

Statistics are important and useful, but it would be great if there would
be a way to not cause statistics gathering produce a huge performance
difference.  This patche does just that.

This patch creates a vmstat shepherd worker that monitors the per cpu
differentials on all processors.  If there are differentials on a
processor then a vmstat worker local to the processors with the
differentials is created.  That worker will then start folding the diffs
in regular intervals.  Should the worker find that there is no work to be
done then it will make the shepherd worker monitor the differentials
again.

With this patch it is possible then to have periods longer than
2 seconds without any OS event on a "cpu" (hardware thread).

The patch shows a very minor increased in system performance.

Increase the buffer-head per-CPU LRU size to allow efficient filesystem
operations that access many blocks for each transaction.  For example,
creating a file in a large ext4 directory with quota enabled will access
multiple buffer heads and will overflow the LRU at the default 8-block LRU
size:

* parent directory inode table block (ctime, nlinks for subdirs)
* new inode bitmap
* inode table block
* 2 quota blocks
* directory leaf block (not reused, but pollutes one cache entry)
* 2 levels htree blocks (only one is reused, other pollutes cache)
* 2 levels indirect/index blocks (only one is reused)

The buffer-head per-CPU LRU size is raised to 16, as it shows in metadata
performance benchmarks up to 10% gain for create, 4% for lookup and 7% for
destroy.

Sasha Levin reported KASAN splash inside isolate_migratepages_range().
Problem is in the function __is_movable_balloon_page() which tests
AS_BALLOON_MAP in page->mapping->flags.  This function has no protection
against anonymous pages.  As result it tried to check address space flags
inside struct anon_vma.

Further investigation shows more problems in current implementation:

* Special branch in __unmap_and_move() never works:
  balloon_page_movable() checks page flags and page_count.  In
  __unmap_and_move() page is locked, reference counter is elevated, thus
  balloon_page_movable() always fails.  As a result execution goes to the
  normal migration path.  virtballoon_migratepage() returns
  MIGRATEPAGE_BALLOON_SUCCESS instead of MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS,
  move_to_new_page() thinks this is an error code and assigns
  newpage->mapping to NULL.  Newly migrated page lose connectivity with
  balloon an all ability for further migration.

* lru_lock erroneously required in isolate_migratepages_range() for
  isolation ballooned page.  This function releases lru_lock periodically,
  this makes migration mostly impossible for some pages.

* balloon_page_dequeue have a tight race with balloon_page_isolate:
  balloon_page_isolate could be executed in parallel with dequeue between
  picking page from list and locking page_lock.  Race is rare because they
  use trylock_page() for locking.

This patch fixes all of them.

Instead of fake mapping with special flag this patch uses special state of
page->_mapcount: PAGE_BALLOON_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -256.  Buddy allocator uses
PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -128 for similar purpose.  Storing mark
directly in struct page makes everything safer and easier.

PagePrivate is used to mark pages present in page list (i.e.  not
isolated, like PageLRU for normal pages).  It replaces special rules for
reference counter and makes balloon migration similar to migration of
normal pages.  This flag is protected by page_lock together with link to
the balloon device.

This series implements general forms of get_user_pages_fast and
__get_user_pages_fast in core code and activates them for arm and arm64.

These are required for Transparent HugePages to function correctly, as a
futex on a THP tail will otherwise result in an infinite loop (due to the
core implementation of __get_user_pages_fast always returning 0).

Unfortunately, a futex on THP tail can be quite common for certain
workloads; thus THP is unreliable without a __get_user_pages_fast
implementation.

This series may also be beneficial for direct-IO heavy workloads and
certain KVM workloads.

This patch (of 6):

get_user_pages_fast() attempts to pin user pages by walking the page
tables directly and avoids taking locks.  Thus the walker needs to be
protected from page table pages being freed from under it, and needs to
block any THP splits.

One way to achieve this is to have the walker disable interrupts, and rely
on IPIs from the TLB flushing code blocking before the page table pages
are freed.

On some platforms we have hardware broadcast of TLB invalidations, thus
the TLB flushing code doesn't necessarily need to broadcast IPIs; and
spuriously broadcasting IPIs can hurt system performance if done too
often.

This problem has been solved on PowerPC and Sparc by batching up page
table pages belonging to more than one mm_user, then scheduling an
rcu_sched callback to free the pages.  This RCU page table free logic has
been promoted to core code and is activated when one enables
HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE.  Unfortunately, these architectures implement their
own get_user_pages_fast routines.

The RCU page table free logic coupled with an IPI broadcast on THP split
(which is a rare event), allows one to protect a page table walker by
merely disabling the interrupts during the walk.

This patch provides a general RCU implementation of get_user_pages_fast
that can be used by architectures that perform hardware broadcast of TLB
invalidations.

It is based heavily on the PowerPC implementation by Nick Piggin.

By the following commits, we prevented from allocating firmware_map_entry
of same memory range:
  f0093ede: drivers/firmware/memmap.c: don't allocate firmware_map_entry
            of same memory range
  49c8b24d: drivers/firmware/memmap.c: pass the correct argument to
            firmware_map_find_entry_bootmem()

But it's not enough. When PNP0C80 device is added by acpi_scan_init(),
memmap sysfses of same firmware_map_entry are created twice as follows:

  # cat /sys/firmware/memmap/*/start
  0x40000000000
  0x60000000000
  0x4a837000
  0x4a83a000
  0x4a8b5000
  ...
  0x40000000000
  0x60000000000
  ...

The flows of the issues are as follows:

  1. e820_reserve_resources() allocates firmware_map_entrys of all
     memory ranges defined in e820. And, these firmware_map_entrys
     are linked with map_entries list.

     map_entries -> entry 1 -> ... -> entry N

  2. When PNP0C80 device is limited by mem= boot option, acpi_scan_init()
     added the memory device. In this case, firmware_map_add_hotplug()
     allocates firmware_map_entry and creates memmap sysfs.

     map_entries -> entry 1 -> ... -> entry N -> entry N+1
                                                 |
                                                 memmap 1

  3. firmware_memmap_init() creates memmap sysfses of firmware_map_entrys
     linked with map_entries.

     map_entries -> entry 1 -> ... -> entry N -> entry N+1

memcg_can_account_kmem() returns true iff

    !mem_cgroup_disabled() && !mem_cgroup_is_root(memcg) &&
                                   memcg_kmem_is_active(memcg);

To begin with the !mem_cgroup_is_root(memcg) check is useless, because one
can't enable kmem accounting for the root cgroup (mem_cgroup_write()
returns EINVAL on an attempt to set the limit on the root cgroup).

Furthermore, the !mem_cgroup_disabled() check also seems to be redundant.
The point is memcg_can_account_kmem() is called from three places:
mem_cgroup_salbinfo_read(), __memcg_kmem_get_cache(), and
__memcg_kmem_newpage_charge().  The latter two functions are only invoked
if memcg_kmem_enabled() returns true, which implies that the memory cgroup
subsystem is enabled.  And mem_cgroup_slabinfo_read() shows the output of
memory.kmem.slabinfo, which won't exist if the memory cgroup is completely
disabled.

So let's substitute all the calls to memcg_can_account_kmem() with plain
memcg_kmem_is_active(), and kill the former.

In a memcg with even just moderate cache pressure, success rates for
transparent huge page allocations drop to zero, wasting a lot of effort
that the allocator puts into assembling these pages.

The reason for this is that the memcg reclaim code was never designed for
higher-order charges.  It reclaims in small batches until there is room
for at least one page.  Huge page charges only succeed when these batches
add up over a series of huge faults, which is unlikely under any
significant load involving order-0 allocations in the group.

Remove that loop on the memcg side in favor of passing the actual reclaim
goal to direct reclaim, which is already set up and optimized to meet
higher-order goals efficiently.

This brings memcg's THP policy in line with the system policy: if the
allocator painstakingly assembles a hugepage, memcg will at least make an
honest effort to charge it.  As a result, transparent hugepage allocation
rates amid cache activity are drastically improved:

[ Note: this may in turn increase memory consumption from internal
  fragmentation, which is an inherent risk of transparent hugepages.
  Some setups may have to adjust the memcg limits accordingly to
  accomodate this - or, if the machine is already packed to capacity,
  disable the transparent huge page feature. ]

When attempting to charge pages, we first charge the memory counter and
then the memory+swap counter.  If one of the counters is at its limit, we
enter reclaim, but if it's the memory+swap counter, reclaim shouldn't swap
because that wouldn't change the situation.  However, if the counters have
the same limits, we never get to the memory+swap limit.  To know whether
reclaim should swap or not, there is a state flag that indicates whether
the limits are equal and whether hitting the memory limit implies hitting
the memory+swap limit.

Just try the memory+swap counter first.

free_pages_and_swap_cache limits release_pages to PAGEVEC_SIZE chunks.
This is not a big deal for the normal release path but it completely kills

In his case the load was running in the root memcg and that part has been
handled by reverting 05b84301 ("mm: memcontrol: use root_mem_cgroup
res_counter") because this is a clear regression, but the problem remains
inside dedicated memcgs.

There is no reason to limit release_pages to PAGEVEC_SIZE batches other
than lru_lock held times.  This logic, however, can be moved inside the
function.  mem_cgroup_uncharge_list and free_hot_cold_page_list do not
hold any lock for the whole pages_to_free list so it is safe to call them
in a single run.

The release_pages() code was previously breaking the lru_lock each
PAGEVEC_SIZE pages (ie, 14 pages).  However this code has no usage of
pagevecs so switch to breaking the lock at least every SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX
(32) pages.  This means that the lock acquisition frequency is
approximately halved and the max hold times are approximately doubled.

The now unneeded batching is removed from free_pages_and_swap_cache().

Also update the grossly out-of-date release_pages documentation.

The problem is the lock order of pools_lock and kernfs_mutex in
dma_pool_destroy() vs show_pools() call path.

This patch breaks out the creation of the sysfs file outside of the
pools_lock mutex.  The newly added pools_reg_lock ensures that there is no
race of create vs destroy code path in terms whether or not the sysfs file
has to be deleted (and was it deleted before we try to create a new one)
and what to do if device_create_file() failed.

`While growing per memcg caches arrays, we jump between memcontrol.c and
slab_common.c in a weird way:

  memcg_alloc_cache_id - memcontrol.c
    memcg_update_all_caches - slab_common.c
      memcg_update_cache_size - memcontrol.c

There's absolutely no reason why memcg_update_cache_size can't live on the
slab's side though.  So let's move it there and settle it comfortably amid
per-memcg cache allocation functions.

Besides, this patch cleans this function up a bit, removing all the
useless comments from it, and renames it to memcg_update_cache_params to
conform to memcg_alloc/free_cache_params, which we already have in
slab_common.c.

memcg_update_all_caches grows arrays of per-memcg caches, so we only need
to call it when memcg_limited_groups_array_size is increased.  However,
currently we invoke it each time a new kmem-active memory cgroup is
created.  Then it just iterates over all slab_caches and does nothing
(memcg_update_cache_size returns immediately).

This patch fixes this insanity.  In the meantime it moves the code dealing
with id allocations to separate functions, memcg_alloc_cache_id and
memcg_free_cache_id.

The only reason why they live in memcontrol.c is that we get/put css
reference to the owner memory cgroup in them.  However, we can do that in
memcg_{un,}register_cache.  OTOH, there are several reasons to move them
to slab_common.c.

First, I think that the less public interface functions we have in
memcontrol.h the better.  Since the functions I move don't depend on
memcontrol, I think it's worth making them private to slab, especially
taking into account that the arrays are defined on the slab's side too.

Second, the way how per-memcg arrays are updated looks rather awkward: it
proceeds from memcontrol.c (__memcg_activate_kmem) to slab_common.c
(memcg_update_all_caches) and back to memcontrol.c again
(memcg_update_array_size).  In the following patches I move the function
relocating the arrays (memcg_update_array_size) to slab_common.c and
therefore get rid this circular call path.  I think we should have the
cache allocation stuff in the same place where we have relocation, because
it's easier to follow the code then.  So I move arrays alloc/free
functions to slab_common.c too.

The third point isn't obvious.  I'm going to make the list_lru structure
per-memcg to allow targeted kmem reclaim.  That means we will have
per-memcg arrays in list_lrus too.  It turns out that it's much easier to
update these arrays in list_lru.c rather than in memcontrol.c, because all
the stuff we need is defined there.  This patch makes memcg caches arrays
allocation path conform that of the upcoming list_lru.

So let's move these functions to slab_common.c and make them static.

	assert(!(pme[1] & PAGEMAP_SOFTDIRTY)); /* fails */
	assert(pme[2] & PAGEMAP_SOFTDIRTY);    /* passes */
	return 0;
}

(Note that all pages in new VMAs are softdirty until cleared).

Zones are allocated by the page allocator in either node or zone order.
Node ordering is preferred in terms of locality and is applied
automatically in one of three cases:

  1. If a node has only low memory

  2. If DMA/DMA32 is a high percentage of memory

  3. If low memory on a single node is greater than 70% of the node size

Otherwise zone ordering is used to preserve low memory for devices that
require it.  Unfortunately a consequence of this is that applications
running on a machine with balanced NUMA nodes will experience different
performance characteristics depending on which node they happen to start
from.

The point of zone ordering is to protect lower zones for devices that
require DMA/DMA32 memory.  When NUMA was first introduced, this was
critical as 32-bit NUMA machines existed and exhausting low memory
triggered OOMs easily as so many allocations required low memory.  On
64-bit machines the primary concern is devices that are 32-bit only which
is less severe than the low memory exhaustion problem on 32-bit NUMA.  It
seems there are really few devices that depends on it.

AGP -- I assume this is getting more rare but even then I think the allocations
	happen early in boot time where lowmem pressure is less of a problem

DRM -- If the device is 32-bit only then there may be low pressure. I didn't
	evaluate these in detail but it looks like some of these are mobile
	graphics card. Not many NUMA laptops out there. DRM folk should know
	better though.

Some TV cards -- Much demand for 32-bit capable TV cards on NUMA machines?

B43 wireless card -- again not really a NUMA thing.

I cannot find a good reason to incur a performance penalty on all 64-bit NUMA
machines in case someone throws a brain damanged TV or graphics card in there.
This patch defaults to node-ordering on 64-bit NUMA machines. I was tempted
to make it default everywhere but I understand that some embedded arches may
be using 32-bit NUMA where I cannot predict the consequences.

The performance impact depends on the workload and the characteristics of the
machine and the machine I tested on had a large Normal zone on node 0 so the
impact is within the noise for the majority of tests. The allocation stats
show more allocation requests were from DMA32 and local node. Running SpecJBB

Note that there were more DMA32 allocations with the patch applied.  In this
particular case there was no difference in numa_hit and numa_miss. The
expectation is that DMA32 was being used at the low watermark instead of
falling into the slow path. kswapd was not woken but it's not worken for
THP allocations.

On 32-bit, this patch defaults to zone-ordering as low memory depletion
can be a serious problem on 32-bit large memory machines. If the default
ordering was node then processes on node 0 will deplete the Normal zone
due to normal activity.  The problem is worse if CONFIG_HIGHPTE is not
set. If combined with large amounts of dirty/writeback pages in Normal
zone then there is also a high risk of OOM. The heuristics are removed
as it's not clear they were ever important on 32-bit. They were only
relevant for setting node-ordering on 64-bit.

Since 2.6.24 there has been a paranoid check in move_freepages that looks
up the zone of two pages.  This is a very slow path and the only time I've
seen this bug trigger recently is when memory initialisation was broken
during patch development.  Despite the fact it's a slow path, this patch
converts the check to a VM_BUG_ON anyway as it has served its purpose by
now.

Fix a deadlock problem caused by direct memory reclaim in o2net_wq.  The
situation is as follows:

1) Receive a connect message from another node, node queues a
   work_struct o2net_listen_work.

2) o2net_wq processes this work and call the following functions:

o2net_wq
-> o2net_accept_one
  -> sock_create_lite
    -> sock_alloc()
      -> kmem_cache_alloc with GFP_KERNEL
        -> ____cache_alloc_node
          ->__alloc_pages_nodemask
            -> do_try_to_free_pages
              -> shrink_slab
                -> evict
                  -> ocfs2_evict_inode
                    -> ocfs2_drop_lock
                      -> dlmunlock
                        -> o2net_send_message_vec

   then o2net_wq wait for the unlock reply from master.

3) tcp layer received the reply, call o2net_data_ready() and queue
   sc_rx_work, waiting o2net_wq to process this work.

4) o2net_wq is a single thread workqueue, it process the work one by
   one.  Right now it is still doing o2net_listen_work and cannot handle
   sc_rx_work.  so we deadlock.

Junxiao Bi's patch "mm: clear __GFP_FS when PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO is set"
(http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-clear-__gfp_fs-when-pf_memalloc_noio-is-set.patch)
clears __GFP_FS in memalloc_noio_flags() besides __GFP_IO.  We use
memalloc_noio_save() to set process flag PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO so that all
allocations done by this process are done as if GFP_NOIO was specified.
We are not reentering filesystem while doing memory reclaim.

commit 21caf2fc ("mm: teach mm by current context info to not do I/O
during memory allocation") introduces PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag to avoid doing
I/O inside memory allocation, __GFP_IO is cleared when this flag is set,
but __GFP_FS implies __GFP_IO, it should also be cleared.  Or it may still
run into I/O, like in superblock shrinker.  And this will make the kernel
run into the deadlock case described in that commit.

See Dave Chinner's comment about io in superblock shrinker:

Filesystem shrinkers do indeed perform IO from the superblock shrinker and
have for years.  Even clean inodes can require IO before they can be freed
- e.g.  on an orphan list, need truncation of post-eof blocks, need to
wait for ordered operations to complete before it can be freed, etc.

IOWs, Ext4, btrfs and XFS all can issue and/or block on arbitrary amounts
of IO in the superblock shrinker context.  XFS, in particular, has been
doing transactions and IO from the VFS inode cache shrinker since it was
first introduced....

Fix this by clearing __GFP_FS in memalloc_noio_flags(), this function has
masked all the gfp_mask that will be passed into fs for the processes
setting PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO in the direct reclaim path.
