now that we have memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} api we can mark the whole
transaction context as implicitly GFP_NOFS.  All allocations will
automatically inherit GFP_NOFS this way.  This means that we do not have
to mark any of those requests with GFP_NOFS and moreover all the
ext4_kv[mz]alloc(GFP_NOFS) are also safe now because even the hardcoded
GFP_KERNEL allocations deep inside the vmalloc will be NOFS now.

kmem_zalloc_large and _xfs_buf_map_pages use memalloc_noio_{save,restore}
API to prevent from reclaim recursion into the fs because vmalloc can
invoke unconditional GFP_KERNEL allocations and these functions might be
called from the NOFS contexts.  The memalloc_noio_save will enforce
GFP_NOIO context which is even weaker than GFP_NOFS and that seems to be
unnecessary.  Let's use memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} instead as it
should provide exactly what we need here - implicit GFP_NOFS context.

GFP_NOFS context is used for the following 5 reasons currently:

 - to prevent from deadlocks when the lock held by the allocation
   context would be needed during the memory reclaim

 - to prevent from stack overflows during the reclaim because the
   allocation is performed from a deep context already

 - to prevent lockups when the allocation context depends on other
   reclaimers to make a forward progress indirectly

 - just in case because this would be safe from the fs POV

 - silence lockdep false positives

Unfortunately overuse of this allocation context brings some problems to
the MM.  Memory reclaim is much weaker (especially during heavy FS
metadata workloads), OOM killer cannot be invoked because the MM layer
doesn't have enough information about how much memory is freeable by the
FS layer.

In many cases it is far from clear why the weaker context is even used
and so it might be used unnecessarily.  We would like to get rid of
those as much as possible.  One way to do that is to use the flag in
scopes rather than isolated cases.  Such a scope is declared when really
necessary, tracked per task and all the allocation requests from within
the context will simply inherit the GFP_NOFS semantic.

Not only this is easier to understand and maintain because there are
much less problematic contexts than specific allocation requests, this
also helps code paths where FS layer interacts with other layers (e.g.
crypto, security modules, MM etc...) and there is no easy way to convey
the allocation context between the layers.

Introduce memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} API to control the scope of
GFP_NOFS allocation context.  This is basically copying
memalloc_noio_{save,restore} API we have for other restricted allocation
context GFP_NOIO.  The PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS flag already exists and it is
just an alias for PF_FSTRANS which has been xfs specific until recently.
There are no more PF_FSTRANS users anymore so let's just drop it.

PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS is now checked in the MM layer and drops __GFP_FS
implicitly same as PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO drops __GFP_IO.  memalloc_noio_flags
is renamed to current_gfp_context because it now cares about both
PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS and PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO contexts.  Xfs code paths preserve
their semantic.  kmem_flags_convert() doesn't need to evaluate the flag
anymore.

This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

Let's hope that filesystems will drop direct GFP_NOFS (resp.  ~__GFP_FS)
usage as much as possible and only use a properly documented
memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} checkpoints where they are appropriate.

xfs has defined PF_FSTRANS to declare a scope GFP_NOFS semantic quite
some time ago.  We would like to make this concept more generic and use
it for other filesystems as well.  Let's start by giving the flag a more
generic name PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS which is in line with an exiting
PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO already used for the same purpose for GFP_NOIO
contexts.  Replace all PF_FSTRANS usage from the xfs code in the first
step before we introduce a full API for it as xfs uses the flag directly
anyway.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.

The current implementation of the reclaim lockup detection can lead to
false positives and those even happen and usually lead to tweak the code
to silence the lockdep by using GFP_NOFS even though the context can use
__GFP_FS just fine.

To quote Dave:
 "Ignoring whether reflink should be doing anything or not, that's a
  "xfs_refcountbt_init_cursor() gets called both outside and inside
  transactions" lockdep false positive case. The problem here is lockdep
  has seen this allocation from within a transaction, hence a GFP_NOFS
  allocation, and now it's seeing it in a GFP_KERNEL context. Also note
  that we have an active reference to this inode.

  So, because the reclaim annotations overload the interrupt level
  detections and it's seen the inode ilock been taken in reclaim
  ("interrupt") context, this triggers a reclaim context warning where
  it thinks it is unsafe to do this allocation in GFP_KERNEL context
  holding the inode ilock..."

This sounds like a fundamental problem of the reclaim lock detection.
It is really impossible to annotate such a special usecase IMHO unless
the reclaim lockup detection is reworked completely.  Until then it is
much better to provide a way to add "I know what I am doing flag" and
mark problematic places.  This would prevent from abusing GFP_NOFS flag
which has a runtime effect even on configurations which have lockdep
disabled.

Introduce __GFP_NOLOCKDEP flag which tells the lockdep gfp tracking to
skip the current allocation request.

While we are at it also make sure that the radix tree doesn't
accidentaly override tags stored in the upper part of the gfp_mask.

Patch series "scope GFP_NOFS api", v5.

This patch (of 7):

Commit 21caf2fc ("mm: teach mm by current context info to not do I/O
during memory allocation") added the memalloc_noio_(save|restore)
functions to enable people to modify the MM behavior by disabling I/O
during memory allocation.

This was further extended in commit 934f3072 ("mm: clear __GFP_FS
when PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO is set").

memalloc_noio_* functions prevent allocation paths recursing back into
the filesystem without explicitly changing the flags for every
allocation site.

However, lockdep hasn't been keeping up with the changes and it entirely
misses handling the memalloc_noio adjustments.  Instead, it is left to
the callers of __lockdep_trace_alloc to call the function after they
have shaven the respective GFP flags which can lead to false positives:

Initscripts can use the information (protection levels) from
/proc/zoneinfo to configure vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio at boot.

vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio is an array of ratios for each configured zone
on the system.  If a zone is not populated on an arch, /proc/zoneinfo
suppresses its output.

This results in there not being a 1:1 mapping between the set of zones
emitted by /proc/zoneinfo and the zones configured by
vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio.

This patch shows statistics for non-populated zones in /proc/zoneinfo.
The zones exist and hold a spot in the vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio array.
Without this patch, it is not possible to determine which index in the
array controls which zone if one or more zones on the system are not
populated.

Remaining users of walk_zones_in_node() are unchanged.  Files such as
/proc/pagetypeinfo require certain zone data to be initialized properly
for display, which is not done for unpopulated zones.

Before using cluster lock in free_swap_and_cache(), the
swap_info_struct->lock will be held during freeing the swap entry and
acquiring page lock, so the page swap count will not change when testing
page information later.  But after using cluster lock, the cluster lock
(or swap_info_struct->lock) will be held only during freeing the swap
entry.  So before acquiring the page lock, the page swap count may be
changed in another thread.  If the page swap count is not 0, we should
not delete the page from the swap cache.  This is fixed via checking
page swap count again after acquiring the page lock.

I found the race when I review the code, so I didn't trigger the race
via a test program.  If the race occurs for an anonymous page shared by
multiple processes via fork, multiple pages will be allocated and
swapped in from the swap device for the previously shared one page.
That is, the user-visible runtime effect is more memory will be used and
the access latency for the page will be higher, that is, the performance
regression.

When memory pressure is high, we free MADV_FREE pages.  If the pages are
not dirty in pte, the pages could be freed immediately.  Otherwise we
can't reclaim them.  We put the pages back to anonumous LRU list (by
setting SwapBacked flag) and the pages will be reclaimed in normal
swapout way.

We use normal page reclaim policy.  Since MADV_FREE pages are put into
inactive file list, such pages and inactive file pages are reclaimed
according to their age.  This is expected, because we don't want to
reclaim too many MADV_FREE pages before used once pages.

madv()'s MADV_FREE indicate pages are 'lazyfree'.  They are still
anonymous pages, but they can be freed without pageout.  To distinguish
these from normal anonymous pages, we clear their SwapBacked flag.

MADV_FREE pages could be freed without pageout, so they pretty much like
used once file pages.  For such pages, we'd like to reclaim them once
there is memory pressure.  Also it might be unfair reclaiming MADV_FREE
pages always before used once file pages and we definitively want to
reclaim the pages before other anonymous and file pages.

To speed up MADV_FREE pages reclaim, we put the pages into
LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list.  The rationale is LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list is tiny
nowadays and should be full of used once file pages.  Reclaiming
MADV_FREE pages will not have much interfere of anonymous and active
file pages.  And the inactive file pages and MADV_FREE pages will be
reclaimed according to their age, so we don't reclaim too many MADV_FREE
pages too.  Putting the MADV_FREE pages into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE_LIST also
means we can reclaim the pages without swap support.  This idea is
suggested by Johannes.

This patch doesn't move MADV_FREE pages to LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list yet to
avoid bisect failure, next patch will do it.

The patch is based on Minchan's original patch.

Patch series "mm: fix some MADV_FREE issues", v5.

We are trying to use MADV_FREE in jemalloc.  Several issues are found.
Without solving the issues, jemalloc can't use the MADV_FREE feature.

 - Doesn't support system without swap enabled. Because if swap is off,
   we can't or can't efficiently age anonymous pages. And since
   MADV_FREE pages are mixed with other anonymous pages, we can't
   reclaim MADV_FREE pages. In current implementation, MADV_FREE will
   fallback to MADV_DONTNEED without swap enabled. But in our
   environment, a lot of machines don't enable swap. This will prevent
   our setup using MADV_FREE.

 - Increases memory pressure. page reclaim bias file pages reclaim
   against anonymous pages. This doesn't make sense for MADV_FREE pages,
   because those pages could be freed easily and refilled with very
   slight penality. Even page reclaim doesn't bias file pages, there is
   still an issue, because MADV_FREE pages and other anonymous pages are
   mixed together. To reclaim a MADV_FREE page, we probably must scan a
   lot of other anonymous pages, which is inefficient. In our test, we
   usually see oom with MADV_FREE enabled and nothing without it.

 - Accounting. There are two accounting problems. We don't have a global
   accounting. If the system is abnormal, we don't know if it's a
   problem from MADV_FREE side. The other problem is RSS accounting.
   MADV_FREE pages are accounted as normal anon pages and reclaimed
   lazily, so application's RSS becomes bigger. This confuses our
   workloads. We have monitoring daemon running and if it finds
   applications' RSS becomes abnormal, the daemon will kill the
   applications even kernel can reclaim the memory easily.

To address the first the two issues, we can either put MADV_FREE pages
into a separate LRU list (Minchan's previous patches and V1 patches), or
put them into LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list (suggested by Johannes).  The
patchset use the second idea.  The reason is LRU_INACTIVE_FILE list is
tiny nowadays and should be full of used once file pages.  So we can
still efficiently reclaim MADV_FREE pages there without interference
with other anon and active file pages.  Putting the pages into inactive
file list also has an advantage which allows page reclaim to prioritize
MADV_FREE pages and used once file pages.  MADV_FREE pages are put into
the lru list and clear SwapBacked flag, so PageAnon(page) &&
!PageSwapBacked(page) will indicate a MADV_FREE pages.  These pages will
directly freed without pageout if they are clean, otherwise normal swap
will reclaim them.

For the third issue, the previous post adds global accounting and a
separate RSS count for MADV_FREE pages.  The problem is we never get
accurate accounting for MADV_FREE pages.  The pages are mapped to
userspace, can be dirtied without notice from kernel side.  To get
accurate accounting, we could write protect the page, but then there is
extra page fault overhead, which people don't want to pay.  Jemalloc
guys have concerns about the inaccurate accounting, so this post drops
the accounting patches temporarily.  The info exported to
/proc/pid/smaps for MADV_FREE pages are kept, which is the only place we
can get accurate accounting right now.

This patch (of 6):

Johannes pointed out TTU_LZFREE is unnecessary.  It's true because we
always have the flag set if we want to do an unmap.  For cases we don't
do an unmap, the TTU_LZFREE part of code should never run.

Also the TTU_UNMAP is unnecessary.  If no other flags set (for example,
TTU_MIGRATION), an unmap is implied.

The patch includes Johannes's cleanup and dead TTU_ACTION macro removal
code

The backoff mechanism is not needed.  If we have MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES
loops without progress, we'll OOM anyway; backing off might cut one or
two iterations off that in the rare OOM case.  If we have intermittent
success reclaiming a few pages, the backoff function gets reset also,
and so is of little help in these scenarios.

We might want a backoff function for when there IS progress, but not
enough to be satisfactory.  But this isn't that.  Remove it.

NR_PAGES_SCANNED counts number of pages scanned since the last page free
event in the allocator.  This was used primarily to measure the
reclaimability of zones and nodes, and determine when reclaim should
give up on them.  In that role, it has been replaced in the preceding
patches by a different mechanism.

Being implemented as an efficient vmstat counter, it was automatically
exported to userspace as well.  It's however unlikely that anyone
outside the kernel is using this counter in any meaningful way.

Remove the counter and the unused pgdat_reclaimable().

Commit 246e87a9 ("memcg: fix get_scan_count() for small targets")
sought to avoid high reclaim priorities for memcg by forcing it to scan
a minimum amount of pages when lru_pages >> priority yielded nothing.
This was done at a time when reclaim decisions like dirty throttling
were tied to the priority level.

Nowadays, the only meaningful thing still tied to priority dropping
below DEF_PRIORITY - 2 is gating whether laptop_mode=1 is generally
allowed to write.  But that is from an era where direct reclaim was
still allowed to call ->writepage, and kswapd nowadays avoids writes
until it's scanned every clean page in the system.  Potential changes to
how quick sc->may_writepage could trigger are of little concern.

Remove the force_scan stuff, as well as the ugly multi-pass target
calculation that it necessitated.

Commit b95a2f2d ("mm: vmscan: convert global reclaim to per-memcg

over all cgroups, had to restrict this forceful behavior to
unreclaimable zones in order to prevent massive overreclaim with many
cgroups.

The latter patch effectively neutered the behavior completely for all
but extreme memory pressure.  But in those situations we might as well
drop the reclaimers to lower priority levels.  Remove the check.

Patch series "mm: kswapd spinning on unreclaimable nodes - fixes and
cleanups".

Jia reported a scenario in which the kswapd of a node indefinitely spins
at 100% CPU usage.  We have seen similar cases at Facebook.

The kernel's current method of judging its ability to reclaim a node (or
whether to back off and sleep) is based on the amount of scanned pages
in proportion to the amount of reclaimable pages.  In Jia's and our
scenarios, there are no reclaimable pages in the node, however, and the
condition for backing off is never met.  Kswapd busyloops in an attempt
to restore the watermarks while having nothing to work with.

This series reworks the definition of an unreclaimable node based not on
scanning but on whether kswapd is able to actually reclaim pages in
MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (16) consecutive runs.  This is the same criteria
the page allocator uses for giving up on direct reclaim and invoking the
OOM killer.  If it cannot free any pages, kswapd will go to sleep and
leave further attempts to direct reclaim invocations, which will either
make progress and re-enable kswapd, or invoke the OOM killer.

Patch #1 fixes the immediate problem Jia reported, the remainder are
smaller fixlets, cleanups, and overall phasing out of the old method.

Patch #6 is the odd one out.  It's a nice cleanup to get_scan_count(),
and directly related to #5, but in itself not relevant to the series.

If the whole series is too ambitious for 4.11, I would consider the
first three patches fixes, the rest cleanups.

This patch (of 9):

Jia He reports a problem with kswapd spinning at 100% CPU when
requesting more hugepages than memory available in the system:

$ echo 4000 >/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages

top - 13:42:59 up  3:37,  1 user,  load average: 1.09, 1.03, 1.01
Tasks:   1 total,   1 running,   0 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
%Cpu(s):  0.0 us, 12.5 sy,  0.0 ni, 85.5 id,  2.0 wa,  0.0 hi,  0.0 si,  0.0 st
KiB Mem:  31371520 total, 30915136 used,   456384 free,      320 buffers
KiB Swap:  6284224 total,   115712 used,  6168512 free.    48192 cached Mem

  PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU  %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND
   76 root      20   0       0      0      0 R 100.0 0.000 217:17.29 kswapd3

At that time, there are no reclaimable pages left in the node, but as
kswapd fails to restore the high watermarks it refuses to go to sleep.

Kswapd needs to back away from nodes that fail to balance.  Up until
commit 1d82de61 ("mm, vmscan: make kswapd reclaim in terms of
nodes") kswapd had such a mechanism.  It considered zones whose
theoretically reclaimable pages it had reclaimed six times over as
unreclaimable and backed away from them.  This guard was erroneously
removed as the patch changed the definition of a balanced node.

However, simply restoring this code wouldn't help in the case reported
here: there *are* no reclaimable pages that could be scanned until the
threshold is met.  Kswapd would stay awake anyway.

Introduce a new and much simpler way of backing off.  If kswapd runs
through MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (16) cycles without reclaiming a single
page, make it back off from the node.  This is the same number of shots
direct reclaim takes before declaring OOM.  Kswapd will go to sleep on
that node until a direct reclaimer manages to reclaim some pages, thus
proving the node reclaimable again.

Each slab kmem cache has per cpu array caches.  The array caches are
created when the kmem_cache is created, either via kmem_cache_create()
or lazily when the first object is allocated in context of a kmem
enabled memcg.  Array caches are replaced by writing to /proc/slabinfo.

Array caches are protected by holding slab_mutex or disabling
interrupts.  Array cache allocation and replacement is done by
__do_tune_cpucache() which holds slab_mutex and calls
kick_all_cpus_sync() to interrupt all remote processors which confirms
there are no references to the old array caches.

IPIs are needed when replacing array caches.  But when creating a new
array cache, there's no need to send IPIs because there cannot be any
references to the new cache.  Outside of memcg kmem accounting these
IPIs occur at boot time, so they're not a problem.  But with memcg kmem
accounting each container can create kmem caches, so the IPIs are
wasteful.

Avoid unnecessary IPIs when creating array caches.

Configfs is the interface for ocfs2-tools to set configure to kernel and
$configfs_dir/cluster/$clustername/heartbeat/dead_threshold is the one
used to configure heartbeat dead threshold.  Kernel has a default value
of it but user can set O2CB_HEARTBEAT_THRESHOLD in /etc/sysconfig/o2cb
to override it.

Commit 45b99773 ("ocfs2/cluster: use per-attribute show and store
methods") changed heartbeat dead threshold name while ocfs2-tools did
not, so ocfs2-tools won't set this configurable and the default value is
always used.  So revert it.

In many of clk_disable() implementations, it is a no-op for a NULL
pointer input, but this is one of the exceptions.

Making it treewide consistent will allow clock consumers to call
clk_disable() without NULL pointer check.

Here are some of the more common spelling mistakes that I've found while
fixing up spelling mistakes in kernel error message text.  They probably
should be added to this list so we don't keep on seeing them appearing

Interrupt enable/disabled with spinlock is not a valid operation for RT
as it can make executing tasks sleep from a non-sleepable context.  So
convert it to spin_lock_irq[save, restore].

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
 "Fourteen audit patches for v4.12 that span the full range of fixes,
  new features, and internal cleanups.

  We have a patches to move to 64-bit timestamps, convert refcounts from
  atomic_t to refcount_t, track PIDs using the pid struct instead of
  pid_t, convert our own private audit buffer cache to a standard
  kmem_cache, log kernel module names when they are unloaded, and
  normalize the NETFILTER_PKT to make the userspace folks happier.

  From a fixes perspective, the most important is likely the auditd
  connection tracking RCU fix; it was a rather brain dead bug that I'll
  take the blame for, but thankfully it didn't seem to affect many
  people (only one report).

  I think the patch subject lines and commit descriptions do a pretty
  good job of explaining the details and why the changes are important
  so I'll point you there instead of duplicating it here; as usual, if
  you have any questions you know where to find us.

  We also manage to take out more code than we put in this time, that
  always makes me happy :)"

Pull livepatch updates from Jiri Kosina:

 - a per-task consistency model is being added for architectures that
   support reliable stack dumping (extending this, currently rather
   trivial set, is currently in the works).

   This extends the nature of the types of patches that can be applied
   by live patching infrastructure. The code stems from the design
   proposal made [1] back in November 2014. It's a hybrid of SUSE's
   kGraft and RH's kpatch, combining advantages of both: it uses
   kGraft's per-task consistency and syscall barrier switching combined
   with kpatch's stack trace switching. There are also a number of
   fallback options which make it quite flexible.

   Most of the heavy lifting done by Josh Poimboeuf with help from
   Miroslav Benes and Petr Mladek
