      mm: allow PF_MEMALLOC from softirq context · 907aed48
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      This is needed to allow network softirq packet processing to make use of
PF_MEMALLOC.

Currently softirq context cannot use PF_MEMALLOC due to it not being
associated with a task, and therefore not having task flags to fiddle with
- thus the gfp to alloc flag mapping ignores the task flags when in
interrupts (hard or soft) context.

Allowing softirqs to make use of PF_MEMALLOC therefore requires some
trickery.  This patch borrows the task flags from whatever process happens
to be preempted by the softirq.  It then modifies the gfp to alloc flags
mapping to not exclude task flags in softirq context, and modify the
softirq code to save, clear and restore the PF_MEMALLOC flag.

The save and clear, ensures the preempted task's PF_MEMALLOC flag doesn't
leak into the softirq.  The restore ensures a softirq's PF_MEMALLOC flag
cannot leak back into the preempted process.  This should be safe due to
the following reasons

Softirqs can run on multiple CPUs sure but the same task should not be
	executing the same softirq code. Neither should the softirq
	handler be preempted by any other softirq handler so the flags
	should not leak to an unrelated softirq.

Softirqs re-enable hardware interrupts in __do_softirq() so can be
	preempted by hardware interrupts so PF_MEMALLOC is inherited
	by the hard IRQ. However, this is similar to a process in
	reclaim being preempted by a hardirq. While PF_MEMALLOC is
	set, gfp_to_alloc_flags() distinguishes between hard and
	soft irqs and avoids giving a hardirq the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS
	flag.

If the softirq is deferred to ksoftirq then its flags may be used
        instead of a normal tasks but as the softirq cannot be preempted,
        the PF_MEMALLOC flag does not leak to other code by accident.

      mm/hotplug: correctly setup fallback zonelists when creating new pgdat · 9adb62a5
      由 Jiang Liu 提交于 
      When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called to create new pgdat for a new node, a
fallback zonelist should be created for the new node.  There's code to try
to achieve that in hotadd_new_pgdat() as below:

	/*
	 * The node we allocated has no zone fallback lists. For avoiding
	 * to access not-initialized zonelist, build here.
	 */
	mutex_lock(&zonelists_mutex);
	build_all_zonelists(pgdat, NULL);
	mutex_unlock(&zonelists_mutex);

But it doesn't work as expected.  When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called, the
new node is still in offline state because node_set_online(nid) hasn't
been called yet.  And build_all_zonelists() only builds zonelists for
online nodes as:

        for_each_online_node(nid) {
                pg_data_t *pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid);

                build_zonelists(pgdat);
                build_zonelist_cache(pgdat);
        }

Though we hope to create zonelist for the new pgdat, but it doesn't.  So
add a new parameter "pgdat" the build_all_zonelists() to build pgdat for
the new pgdat too.

      mm: prepare for removal of obsolete /proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads · 3965c9ae
      由 Wanpeng Li 提交于 
      Since per-BDI flusher threads were introduced in 2.6, the pdflush
mechanism is not used any more.  But the old interface exported through
/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads still exists and is obviously useless.

For back-compatibility, printk warning information and return 2 to notify
the users that the interface is removed.

      mm: account the total_vm in the vm_stat_account() · 44de9d0c
      由 Huang Shijie 提交于 
      vm_stat_account() accounts the shared_vm, stack_vm and reserved_vm now.
But we can also account for total_vm in the vm_stat_account() which makes
the code tidy.

Even for mprotect_fixup(), we can get the right result in the end.
