There is a very subtle difference between mmap()+mlock() vs mmap(MAP_LOCKED) semantic. The former one fails if the population of the area fails while the later one doesn't. This basically means that mmap(MAPLOCKED) areas might see major fault after mmap syscall returns which is not the case for mlock. mmap man page has already been altered but Documentation/vm/unevictable-lru.txt deserves a clarification as well.

Documentation/vm/unevictable-lru.txt: document interaction between compaction and the unevictable LRU The memory compaction code uses the migration code to do most of the work in compaction. However, the compaction code interacts with the unevictable LRU differently than migration code and this difference should be noted in the documentation.

__mlock_vma_pages_range() doesn't necessarily mlock pages. It depends on vma flags. The same codepath is used for MAP_POPULATE. Let's rename __mlock_vma_pages_range() to populate_vma_page_range(). This patch also drops mlock_vma_pages_range() references from documentation. It has gone in cea10a19 ("mm: directly use __mlock_vma_pages_range() in find_extend_vma()"). Signed-off-by: NKirill A.

page_evictable(page, vma) is an irritant: almost all its callers pass NULL for vma. Remove the vma arg and use mlocked_vma_newpage(vma, page) explicitly in the couple of places it's needed. But in those places we don't even need page_evictable() itself! They're dealing with a freshly allocated anonymous page, which has no "mapping" and cannot be mlocked yet.

A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA, currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects: | effect | alternative flags -+------------------------+--------------------------------------------- 1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO 2| skip in core dump | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP 3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP 4| do not mlock | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct. Seems like nobody cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only reduces total_vm showed in proc. Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP. remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP. remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

An unfortunate feature of the Unevictable LRU work was that reclaiming an anonymous page involved an extra scan through the anon_vma: to check that the page is evictable before allocating swap, because the swap could not be freed reliably soon afterwards. Now try_to_free_swap() has replaced remove_exclusive_swap_page(), that's not an issue any more: remove try_to_munlock() call from shrink_page_list(), leaving it to try_to_munmap() to discover if the page is one to be culled to the unevictable list - in which case then try_to_free_swap(). Update unevictable-lru.txt to remove comments on the try_to_munlock() in shrink_page_list(), and shorten some lines over 80 columns.
