This occurs when we are scanning the zonelists looking for a ZONE_NORMAL
page.  In this system there is only ZONE_DMA and ZONE_NORMAL memory on
node 0, all other nodes are mapped above 4GB physical.  Here is a dump
of the zonelists from this system:

    zonelists pgdat=c1400000

When performing a node local allocation we call get_page_from_freelist()
looking for a page.  It in turn calls first_zones_zonelist() which returns
a preferred_zone.  Where there are no applicable zones this will be NULL.
However we use this unconditionally, leading to this panic.

Where there are no applicable zones there is no possibility of a successful
allocation, so simply fail the allocation.

Trying to online a new memory section that was added via memory hotplug
sometimes results in crashes when the new pages are added via __free_page.
 Reason for that is that the pageblock bitmap isn't initialized and hence
contains random stuff.  That means that get_pageblock_migratetype()
returns also random stuff and therefore

	list_add(&page->lru,
		&zone->free_area[order].free_list[migratetype]);

in __free_one_page() tries to do a list_add to something that isn't even
necessarily a list.

This happens since 86051ca5 ("mm: fix
usemap initialization") which makes sure that the pageblock bitmap gets
only initialized for pages present in a zone.  Unfortunately for hot-added
memory the zones "grow" after the memmap and the pageblock memmap have
been initialized.  Which means that the new pages have an unitialized
bitmap.  To solve this the calls to grow_zone_span() and grow_pgdat_span()
are moved to __add_zone() just before the initialization happens.

The patch also moves the two functions since __add_zone() is the only
caller and I didn't want to add a forward declaration.

We can see an ever repeating problem pattern with objects of any kind in the
kernel:

1) freeing of active objects
2) reinitialization of active objects

Both problems can be hard to debug because the crash happens at a point where
we have no chance to decode the root cause anymore.  One problem spot are
kernel timers, where the detection of the problem often happens in interrupt
context and usually causes the machine to panic.

While working on a timer related bug report I had to hack specialized code
into the timer subsystem to get a reasonable hint for the root cause.  This
debug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due
to the intrusiveness into the timer code.

The code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause
instantly and keep the system operational.

Keeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug
information without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special
knowledge of the bug reporter.

The problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to
expose it usually in a full system crash.  Other objects are less explosive,
but the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug.

Instead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a
generic infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code
and provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble.

The debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic
objects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on
object operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is
freed.

The tracked object operations are:
- initializing an object
- adding an object to a subsystem list
- deleting an object from a subsystem list

Each operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the
subsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent
the damage of the operation.  When the sanity check triggers a warning message
and a stack trace is printed.

The list of operations can be extended if the need arises.  For now it's
limited to the requirements of the first user (timers).

The core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets.  The hash index is
generated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check
on kfree/vfree.  Each bucket has it's own spinlock to avoid contention on a
global lock.

The debug code can be compiled in without being active.  The runtime overhead
is minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives.  A kernel command line
option enables the debugging code.

Because of page order checks in __alloc_pages(), hugepage (and similarly
large order) allocations will not retry unless explicitly marked
__GFP_REPEAT. However, the current retry logic is nearly an infinite
loop (or until reclaim does no progress whatsoever). For these costly
allocations, that seems like overkill and could potentially never
terminate. Mel observed that allowing current __GFP_REPEAT semantics for
hugepage allocations essentially killed the system. I believe this is
because we may continue to reclaim small orders of pages all over, but
never have enough to satisfy the hugepage allocation request. This is
clearly only a problem for large order allocations, of which hugepages
are the most obvious (to me).

Modify try_to_free_pages() to indicate how many pages were reclaimed.
Use that information in __alloc_pages() to eventually fail a large
__GFP_REPEAT allocation when we've reclaimed an order of pages equal to
or greater than the allocation's order. This relies on lumpy reclaim
functioning as advertised. Due to fragmentation, lumpy reclaim may not
be able to free up the order needed in one invocation, so multiple
iterations may be requred. In other words, the more fragmented memory
is, the more retry attempts __GFP_REPEAT will make (particularly for
higher order allocations).

This changes the semantics of __GFP_REPEAT subtly, but *only* for
allocations > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. With this patch, for those size
allocations, we will try up to some point (at least 1<<order reclaimed
pages), rather than forever (which is the case for allocations <=
PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER).

This change improves the /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages interface with a
follow-on patch that makes pool allocations use __GFP_REPEAT. Rather
than administrators repeatedly echo'ing a particular value into the
sysctl, and forcing reclaim into action manually, this change allows for
the sysctl to attempt a reasonable effort itself. Similarly, dynamic
pool growth should be more successful under load, as lumpy reclaim can
try to free up pages, rather than failing right away.

Choosing to reclaim only up to the order of the requested allocation
strikes a balance between not failing hugepage allocations and returning
to the caller when it's unlikely to every succeed. Because of lumpy
reclaim, if we have freed the order requested, hopefully it has been in
big chunks and those chunks will allow our allocation to succeed. If
that isn't the case after freeing up the current order, I don't think it
is likely to succeed in the future, although it is possible given a
particular fragmentation pattern.

The definition and use of __GFP_REPEAT, __GFP_NOFAIL and __GFP_NORETRY in the
core VM have somewhat differing comments as to their actual semantics.
Annoyingly, the flags definition has inline and header comments, which might
be interpreted as not being equivalent.  Just add references to the header
comments in the inline ones so they don't go out of sync in the future.  In
their use in __alloc_pages() clarify that the current implementation treats
low-order allocations and __GFP_REPEAT allocations as distinct cases.

To clarify, the flags' semantics are:

__GFP_NORETRY means try no harder than one run through __alloc_pages

__GFP_REPEAT means __GFP_NOFAIL

__GFP_NOFAIL means repeat forever

order <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER means __GFP_NOFAIL

This patch is to free memmaps which is allocated by bootmem.

Freeing usemap is not necessary.  The pages of usemap may be necessary for
other sections.

If removing section is last section on the node, its section is the final user
of usemap page.  (usemaps are allocated on its section by previous patch.) But
it shouldn't be freed too, because the section must be logical offline state
which all pages are isolated against page allocater.  If it is freed, page
alloctor may use it which will be removed physically soon.  It will be
disaster.  So, this patch keeps it as it is.

The MPOL_BIND policy creates a zonelist that is used for allocations
controlled by that mempolicy.  As the per-node zonelist is already being
filtered based on a zone id, this patch adds a version of __alloc_pages() that
takes a nodemask for further filtering.  This eliminates the need for
MPOL_BIND to create a custom zonelist.

A positive benefit of this is that allocations using MPOL_BIND now use the
local node's distance-ordered zonelist instead of a custom node-id-ordered
zonelist.  I.e., pages will be allocated from the closest allowed node with
available memory.

Filtering zonelists requires very frequent use of zone_idx().  This is costly
as it involves a lookup of another structure and a substraction operation.  As
the zone_idx is often required, it should be quickly accessible.  The node idx
could also be stored here if it was found that accessing zone->node is
significant which may be the case on workloads where nodemasks are heavily
used.

This patch introduces a struct zoneref to store a zone pointer and a zone
index.  The zonelist then consists of an array of these struct zonerefs which
are looked up as necessary.  Helpers are given for accessing the zone index as
well as the node index.

Currently a node has two sets of zonelists, one for each zone type in the
system and a second set for GFP_THISNODE allocations.  Based on the zones
allowed by a gfp mask, one of these zonelists is selected.  All of these
zonelists consume memory and occupy cache lines.

This patch replaces the multiple zonelists per-node with two zonelists.  The
first contains all populated zones in the system, ordered by distance, for
fallback allocations when the target/preferred node has no free pages.  The
second contains all populated zones in the node suitable for GFP_THISNODE
allocations.

An iterator macro is introduced called for_each_zone_zonelist() that interates
through each zone allowed by the GFP flags in the selected zonelist.

On NUMA, zone_statistics() is used to record events like numa hit, miss and
foreign.  It assumes that the first zone in a zonelist is the preferred zone.
When multiple zonelists are replaced by one that is filtered, this is no

This patch records what the preferred zone is rather than assuming the first

The following patches replace multiple zonelists per node with two zonelists
that are filtered based on the GFP flags.  The patches as a set fix a bug with
regard to the use of MPOL_BIND and ZONE_MOVABLE.  With this patchset, the
MPOL_BIND will apply to the two highest zones when the highest zone is
ZONE_MOVABLE.  This should be considered as an alternative fix for the
MPOL_BIND+ZONE_MOVABLE in 2.6.23 to the previously discussed hack that filters
only custom zonelists.

The first patch cleans up an inconsistency where direct reclaim uses
zonelist->zones where other places use zonelist.

The second patch introduces a helper function node_zonelist() for looking up
the appropriate zonelist for a GFP mask which simplifies patches later in the
set.

The third patch defines/remembers the "preferred zone" for numa statistics, as
it is no longer always the first zone in a zonelist.

The forth patch replaces multiple zonelists with two zonelists that are
filtered.  The two zonelists are due to the fact that the memoryless patchset
introduces a second set of zonelists for __GFP_THISNODE.

The fifth patch introduces helper macros for retrieving the zone and node
indices of entries in a zonelist.

The final patch introduces filtering of the zonelists based on a nodemask.
Two zonelists exist per node, one for normal allocations and one for
__GFP_THISNODE.

Performance results varied depending on the machine configuration.  In real
workloads the gain/loss will depend on how much the userspace portion of the
benchmark benefits from having more cache available due to reduced referencing
of zonelists.

These are the range of performance losses/gains when running against
2.6.24-rc4-mm1.  The set and these machines are a mix of i386, x86_64 and
ppc64 both NUMA and non-NUMA.

The allocator deals with zonelists which indicate the order in which zones
should be targeted for an allocation.  Similarly, direct reclaim of pages
iterates over an array of zones.  For consistency, this patch converts direct
reclaim to use a zonelist.  No functionality is changed by this patch.  This
simplifies zonelist iterators in the next patch.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.meminit.text+0x649):
Section mismatch in reference from the
function free_area_init_core() to the function .init.text:setup_usemap()
The function __meminit free_area_init_core() references
a function __init setup_usemap().
If free_area_init_core is only used by setup_usemap then
annotate free_area_init_core with a matching annotation.

The warning is covers this stack of functions in mm/page_alloc.c:

alloc_bootmem_node must be marked __init.
alloc_bootmem_node is used by setup_usemap, if !SPARSEMEM.
(usemap_size is only used by setup_usemap, if !SPARSEMEM.)
setup_usemap is only used by free_area_init_core.
free_area_init_core is only used by free_area_init_node.

free_area_init_node is used by:
arch/alpha/mm/numa.c: __init paging_init()

and
mm/memory_hotplug.c: hotadd_new_pgdat()

hotadd_new_pgdat can not be an __init function, but:

It is compiled for MEMORY_HOTPLUG configurations only
MEMORY_HOTPLUG depends on SPARSEMEM || X86_64_ACPI_NUMA
X86_64_ACPI_NUMA depends on X86_64
ARCH_FLATMEM_ENABLE depends on X86_32
ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_ENABLE depends on X86_32
So X86_64_ACPI_NUMA implies SPARSEMEM, right?

So we can mark the stack of functions __init for !SPARSEMEM, but we must mark
them __meminit for SPARSEMEM configurations.  This is ok, because then the
calls to alloc_bootmem_node are also avoided.

Compile-tested on:
silly minimal config
defconfig x86_32
defconfig x86_64
defconfig x86_64 -HIBERNATION +MEMORY_HOTPLUG

Add the accounting hooks.  The accounting is carried out for RSS and Page
Cache (unmapped) pages.  There is now a common limit and accounting for both.
The RSS accounting is accounted at page_add_*_rmap() and page_remove_rmap()
time.  Page cache is accounted at add_to_page_cache(),
__delete_from_page_cache().  Swap cache is also accounted for.

Each page's page_cgroup is protected with the last bit of the
page_cgroup pointer, this makes handling of race conditions involving
simultaneous mappings of a page easier.  A reference count is kept in the
page_cgroup to deal with cases where a page might be unmapped from the RSS
of all tasks, but still lives in the page cache.

Credits go to Vaidyanathan Srinivasan for helping with reference counting work
of the page cgroup.  Almost all of the page cache accounting code has help
from Vaidyanathan Srinivasan.

We have repeatedly discussed if the cold pages still have a point. There is
one way to join the two lists: Use a single list and put the cold pages at the
end and the hot pages at the beginning. That way a single list can serve for
both types of allocations.

The discussion of the RFC for this and Mel's measurements indicate that
there may not be too much of a point left to having separate lists for
hot and cold pages (see http://marc.info/?t=119492914200001&r=1&w=2).

- Add comments explaing how drain_pages() works.

- Eliminate useless functions

- Rename drain_all_local_pages to drain_all_pages(). It does drain
  all pages not only those of the local processor.

- Eliminate useless interrupt off / on sequences. drain_pages()
  disables interrupts on its own. The execution thread is
  pinned to processor by the caller. So there is no need to
  disable interrupts.

- Put drain_all_pages() declaration in gfp.h and remove the
  declarations from suspend.h and from mm/memory_hotplug.c

- Make software suspend call drain_all_pages(). The draining
  of processor local pages is may not the right approach if
  software suspend wants to support SMP. If they call drain_all_pages
  then we can make drain_pages() static.

The culprit was zone_batchsize() which were annotated __devinit but used

used from another function annotated __meminit so the only valid option is
to drop the annotation of zone_batchsize() so we know it is always valid to

In some cases the IO subsystem is able to merge requests if the pages are
adjacent in physical memory.  This was achieved in the allocator by having
expand() return pages in physically contiguous order in situations were a
large buddy was split.  However, list-based anti-fragmentation changed the
order pages were returned in to avoid searching in buffered_rmqueue() for a
page of the appropriate migrate type.

This patch restores behaviour of rmqueue_bulk() preserving the physical
order of pages returned by the allocator without incurring increased search
costs for anti-fragmentation.

Ordinarily the size of a pageblock is determined at compile-time based on the
hugepage size. On PPC64, the hugepage size is determined at runtime based on
what is supported by the machine. With legacy machines such as iSeries that
do not support hugepages, HPAGE_SHIFT is 0. This results in pageblock_order
being set to -PAGE_SHIFT and a crash results shortly afterwards.

This patch adds a function to select a sensible value for pageblock order by
default when HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE is set. It checks that HPAGE_SHIFT
is a sensible value before using the hugepage size; if it is not MAX_ORDER-1
is used.

This is a fix for 2.6.24.

A final allocation attempt with a very high watermark needs to be attempted
before invoking out_of_memory().  OOM killer serialization needs to occur
before this final attempt, otherwise tasks attempting to OOM-lock all zones in
its zonelist may spin and acquire the lock unnecessarily after the OOM
condition has already been alleviated.

If the final allocation does succeed, the zonelist is simply OOM-unlocked and
__alloc_pages() returns the page.  Otherwise, the OOM killer is invoked.

If the task cannot acquire OOM-locks on all zones in its zonelist, it is put
to sleep and the allocation is retried when it gets rescheduled.  One of its
zones is already marked as being in the OOM killer so it'll hopefully be
getting some free memory soon, at least enough to satisfy a high watermark
allocation attempt.  This prevents needlessly killing a task when the OOM
condition would have already been alleviated if it had simply been given
enough time.

Convert the int all_unreclaimable member of struct zone to unsigned long
flags.  This can now be used to specify several different zone flags such as
all_unreclaimable and reclaim_in_progress, which can now be removed and
converted to a per-zone flag.

Flags are set and cleared as follows:

	zone_set_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag)
	zone_clear_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag)

Defines the first zone flags, ZONE_ALL_UNRECLAIMABLE and ZONE_RECLAIM_LOCKED,
which have the same semantics as the old zone->all_unreclaimable and
zone->reclaim_in_progress, respectively.  Also converts all current users that
set or clear either flag to use the new interface.

Helper functions are defined to test the flags:

	int zone_is_all_unreclaimable(const struct zone *zone)
	int zone_is_reclaim_locked(const struct zone *zone)

All flag operators are of the atomic variety because there are currently
readers that are implemented that do not take zone->lock.

 - set all pages in  [start,end)  as isolated migration-type.
   by this, all free pages in the range will be not-for-use.
 - Migrate all LRU pages in the range.
 - Test all pages in the range's refcnt is zero or not.

Todo:
 - allocate migration destination page from better area.
 - confirm page_count(page)== 0 && PageReserved(page) page is safe to be freed..
 (I don't like this kind of page but..
 - Find out pages which cannot be migrated.
 - more running tests.
 - Use reclaim for unplugging other memory type area.

Implement generic chunk-of-pages isolation method by using page grouping ops.

This patch add MIGRATE_ISOLATE to MIGRATE_TYPES. By this
 - MIGRATE_TYPES increases.
 - bitmap for migratetype is enlarged.

pages of MIGRATE_ISOLATE migratetype will not be allocated even if it is free.
By this, you can isolated *freed* pages from users. How-to-free pages is not
a purpose of this patch. You may use reclaim and migrate codes to free pages.

If start_isolate_page_range(start,end) is called,
 - migratetype of the range turns to be MIGRATE_ISOLATE  if
   its type is MIGRATE_MOVABLE. (*) this check can be updated if other
   memory reclaiming works make progress.
 - MIGRATE_ISOLATE is not on migratetype fallback list.
 - All free pages and will-be-freed pages are isolated.
To check all pages in the range are isolated or not,  use test_pages_isolated(),
To cancel isolation, use undo_isolate_page_range().

Changes V6 -> V7
 - removed unnecessary #ifdef

There are HOLES_IN_ZONE handling codes...I'm glad if we can remove them..
