Quarantine isolates freed objects in a separate queue.  The objects are
returned to the allocator later, which helps to detect use-after-free
errors.

When the object is freed, its state changes from KASAN_STATE_ALLOC to
KASAN_STATE_QUARANTINE.  The object is poisoned and put into quarantine
instead of being returned to the allocator, therefore every subsequent
access to that object triggers a KASAN error, and the error handler is
able to say where the object has been allocated and deallocated.

When it's time for the object to leave quarantine, its state becomes
KASAN_STATE_FREE and it's returned to the allocator.  From now on the
allocator may reuse it for another allocation.  Before that happens,
it's still possible to detect a use-after free on that object (it
retains the allocation/deallocation stacks).

When the allocator reuses this object, the shadow is unpoisoned and old
allocation/deallocation stacks are wiped.  Therefore a use of this
object, even an incorrect one, won't trigger ASan warning.

Without the quarantine, it's not guaranteed that the objects aren't
reused immediately, that's why the probability of catching a
use-after-free is lower than with quarantine in place.

Quarantine isolates freed objects in a separate queue.  The objects are
returned to the allocator later, which helps to detect use-after-free
errors.

Freed objects are first added to per-cpu quarantine queues.  When a
cache is destroyed or memory shrinking is requested, the objects are
moved into the global quarantine queue.  Whenever a kmalloc call allows
memory reclaiming, the oldest objects are popped out of the global queue
until the total size of objects in quarantine is less than 3/4 of the
maximum quarantine size (which is a fraction of installed physical
memory).

As long as an object remains in the quarantine, KASAN is able to report
accesses to it, so the chance of reporting a use-after-free is
increased.  Once the object leaves quarantine, the allocator may reuse
it, in which case the object is unpoisoned and KASAN can't detect
incorrect accesses to it.

Right now quarantine support is only enabled in SLAB allocator.
Unification of KASAN features in SLAB and SLUB will be done later.

This patch is based on the "mm: kasan: quarantine" patch originally
prepared by Dmitry Chernenkov.  A number of improvements have been
suggested by Andrey Ryabinin.

If page migration fails due to -ENOMEM, nr_failed should still be
incremented for proper statistics.

This was encountered recently when all page migration vmstats showed 0,
and inferred that migrate_pages() was never called, although in reality
the first page migration failed because compaction_alloc() failed to
find a migration target.

This patch increments nr_failed so the vmstat is properly accounted on
ENOMEM.

If a large value is written to scan_sleep_millisecs, for example, that
period must lapse before khugepaged will wake up for periodic
collapsing.

If this value is tuned to 1 day, for example, and then re-tuned to its
default 10s, khugepaged will still wait for a day before scanning again.

This patch causes khugepaged to wakeup immediately when the value is
changed and then sleep until that value is rewritten or the new value
lapses.

When nfsd is exporting a filesystem over NFS which is then NFS-mounted
on the local machine there is a risk of deadlock.  This happens when
there are lots of dirty pages in the NFS filesystem and they cause NFSD
to be throttled, either in throttle_vm_writeout() or in
balance_dirty_pages().

To avoid this problem the PF_LESS_THROTTLE flag is set for NFSD threads
and it provides a 25% increase to the limits that affect NFSD.  Any
process writing to an NFS filesystem will be throttled well before the
number of dirty NFS pages reaches the limit imposed on NFSD, so NFSD
will not deadlock on pages that it needs to write out.  At least it
shouldn't.

All processes are allowed a small excess margin to avoid performing too
many calculations: ratelimit_pages.

ratelimit_pages is set so that if a thread on every CPU uses the entire
margin, the total will only go 3% over the limit, and this is much less
than the 25% bonus that PF_LESS_THROTTLE provides, so this margin
shouldn't be a problem.  But it is.

The "total memory" that these 3% and 25% are calculated against are not
really total memory but are "global_dirtyable_memory()" which doesn't
include anonymous memory, just free memory and page-cache memory.

The "ratelimit_pages" number is based on whatever the
global_dirtyable_memory was on the last CPU hot-plug, which might not be
what you expect, but is probably close to the total freeable memory.

The throttle threshold uses the global_dirtable_memory at the moment
when the throttling happens, which could be much less than at the last
CPU hotplug.  So if lots of anonymous memory has been allocated, thus
pushing out lots of page-cache pages, then NFSD might end up being
throttled due to dirty NFS pages because the "25%" bonus it gets is
calculated against a rather small amount of dirtyable memory, while the
"3%" margin that other processes are allowed to dirty without penalty is
calculated against a much larger number.

To remove this possibility of deadlock we need to make sure that the
margin granted to PF_LESS_THROTTLE exceeds that rate-limit margin.
Simply adding ratelimit_pages isn't enough as that should be multiplied
by the number of cpus.

So add "global_wb_domain.dirty_limit / 32" as that more accurately
reflects the current total over-shoot margin.  This ensures that the
number of dirty NFS pages never gets so high that nfsd will be throttled
waiting for them to be written.

fault_around aims to reduce minor faults of file-backed pages via
speculative ahead pte mapping and relying on readahead logic.  However,
on non-HW access bit architecture the benefit is highly limited because
they should emulate the young bit with minor faults for reclaim's page
aging algorithm.  IOW, we cannot reduce minor faults on those
architectures.

I did quick a test on my ARM machine.

512M file mmap sequential every word read on eSATA drive 4 times.
stddev is stable.

  = fault_around 4096 =
  elapsed time(usec): 6747645

  = fault_around 65536 =
  elapsed time(usec): 6709263

  0.5% gain.

Even when I tested it with eMMC there is no gain because I guess with
slow storage the major fault is the dominant factor.

Also, fault_around has the side effect of shrinking slab more
aggressively and causes higher vmpressure, so if such speculation fails,
it can evict slab more which can result in page I/O (e.g., inode cache).
In the end, it would make void any benefit of fault_around.

So let's make the default "disabled" on those architectures.

Currently, faultaround code produces young pte.  This can screw up
vmscan behaviour[1], as it makes vmscan think that these pages are hot
and not push them out on first round.

During sparse file access faultaround gets more pages mapped and all of
them are young.  Under memory pressure, this makes vmscan swap out anon
pages instead, or to drop other page cache pages which otherwise stay
resident.

Modify faultaround to produce old ptes, so they can easily be reclaimed
under memory pressure.

This can to some extend defeat the purpose of faultaround on machines
without hardware accessed bit as it will not help us with reducing the
number of minor page faults.

We may want to disable faultaround on such machines altogether, but
that's subject for separate patchset.

Since commit 92923ca3 ("mm: meminit: only set page reserved in the
memblock region") the reserved bit is set on reserved memblock regions.
However start and end address are passed as unsigned long.  This is only
32bit on i386, so it can end up marking the wrong pages reserved for
ranges at 4GB and above.

This was observed on a 32bit Xen dom0 which was booted with initial
memory set to a value below 4G but allowing to balloon in memory
(dom0_mem=1024M for example).  This would define a reserved bootmem
region for the additional memory (for example on a 8GB system there was
a reverved region covering the 4GB-8GB range).  But since the addresses
were passed on as unsigned long, this was actually marking all pages
from 0 to 4GB as reserved.

This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing
compressed pages.  It is designed to store up to three compressed pages
per physical page.  It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher
compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its
predecessor.

This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux
Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1].  The outcome of these
discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page
allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher
compression ratio.

To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always
stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store
up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2.  Therefore the
compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x.

The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree.

This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g.
ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on
comments from Dan Streetman [3].

The cpu_stat_off variable is unecessary since we can check if a
workqueue request is pending otherwise.  Removal of cpu_stat_off makes
it pretty easy for the vmstat shepherd to ensure that the proper things
happen.

Removing the state also removes all races related to it.  Should a
workqueue not be scheduled as needed for vmstat_update then the shepherd
will notice and schedule it as needed.  Should a workqueue be
unecessarily scheduled then the vmstat updater will disable it.

The page_counter rounds limits down to page size values.  This makes
sense, except in the case of hugetlb_cgroup where it's not possible to
charge partial hugepages.  If the hugetlb_cgroup margin is less than the
hugepage size being charged, it will fail as expected.

Round the hugetlb_cgroup limit down to hugepage size, since it is the
effective limit of the cgroup.

For consistency, round down PAGE_COUNTER_MAX as well when a
hugetlb_cgroup is created: this prevents error reports when a user

Since commit 84638335 ("mm: rework virtual memory accounting")
RLIMIT_DATA limits both brk() and private mmap() but this's disabled by
default because of incompatibility with older versions of valgrind.

Valgrind always set limit to zero and fails if RLIMIT_DATA is enabled.
Fortunately it changes only rlim_cur and keeps rlim_max for reverting
limit back when needed.

This patch checks current usage also against rlim_max if rlim_cur is
zero.  This is safe because task anyway can increase rlim_cur up to
rlim_max.  Size of brk is still checked against rlim_cur, so this part
is completely compatible - zero rlim_cur forbids brk() but allows
private mmap().

  }

Here we can easily find the pfn is changed but not recovered before
untrack_pfn() is called.  That's incorrect.

HWPoison was specific to some particular x86 platforms.  And it is often
seen as high level machine check handler.  And therefore, 'MCE' is used
for the format prefix of printk().  However, 'PowerNV' has also used
HWPoison for handling memory errors[1], so 'MCE' is no longer suitable
to memory_failure.c.

Additionally, 'MCE' and 'Memory failure' have different context.  The
former belongs to exception context and the latter belongs to process
context.  Furthermore, HWPoison can also be used for off-lining those
sub-health pages that do not trigger any machine check exception.

This patch aims to replace 'MCE' with a more appropriate prefix.

Since commit 3a5dda7a ("oom: prevent unnecessary oom kills or kernel
panics"), select_bad_process() is using for_each_process_thread().

Since oom_unkillable_task() scans all threads in the caller's thread
group and oom_task_origin() scans signal_struct of the caller's thread
group, we don't need to call oom_unkillable_task() and oom_task_origin()
on each thread.  Also, since !mm test will be done later at
oom_badness(), we don't need to do !mm test on each thread.  Therefore,
we only need to do TIF_MEMDIE test on each thread.

Although the original code was correct it was quite inefficient because
each thread group was scanned num_threads times which can be a lot
especially with processes with many threads.  Even though the OOM is
extremely cold path it is always good to be as effective as possible
when we are inside rcu_read_lock() - aka unpreemptible context.

If we track number of TIF_MEMDIE threads inside signal_struct, we don't
need to do TIF_MEMDIE test on each thread.  This will allow
select_bad_process() to use for_each_process().

This patch adds a counter to signal_struct for tracking how many
TIF_MEMDIE threads are in a given thread group, and check it at
oom_scan_process_thread() so that select_bad_process() can use
for_each_process() rather than for_each_process_thread().

Tetsuo has properly noted that mmput slow path might get blocked waiting
for another party (e.g.  exit_aio waits for an IO).  If that happens the
oom_reaper would be put out of the way and will not be able to process
next oom victim.  We should strive for making this context as reliable
and independent on other subsystems as much as possible.

Introduce mmput_async which will perform the slow path from an async
(WQ) context.  This will delay the operation but that shouldn't be a
problem because the oom_reaper has reclaimed the victim's address space
for most cases as much as possible and the remaining context shouldn't
bind too much memory anymore.  The only exception is when mmap_sem
trylock has failed which shouldn't happen too often.

The issue is only theoretical but not impossible.

Commit 36324a99 ("oom: clear TIF_MEMDIE after oom_reaper managed to
unmap the address space") not only clears TIF_MEMDIE for oom reaped task
but also set OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN for the target task to hide it from the
oom killer.  This works in simple cases but it is not sufficient for
(unlikely) cases where the mm is shared between independent processes
(as they do not share signal struct).  If the mm had only small amount
of memory which could be reaped then another task sharing the mm could
be selected and that wouldn't help to move out from the oom situation.

Introduce MMF_OOM_REAPED mm flag which is checked in oom_badness (same
as OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN) and task is skipped if the flag is set.  Set the
flag after __oom_reap_task is done with a task.  This will force the
select_bad_process() to ignore all already oom reaped tasks as well as
no such task is sacrificed for its parent.

Joonsoo has reported that he is able to trigger OOM for !costly high
order requests (heavy fork() workload close the OOM) with the new oom
detection rework.  This is because we rely only on should_reclaim_retry
when the compaction is disabled and it only checks watermarks for the
requested order and so we might trigger OOM when there is a lot of free
memory.

It is not very clear what are the usual workloads when the compaction is
disabled.  Relying on high order allocations heavily without any
mechanism to create those orders except for unbound amount of reclaim is
certainly not a good idea.

To prevent from potential regressions let's help this configuration
some.  We have to sacrifice the determinsm though because there simply
is none here possible.  should_compact_retry implementation for
!CONFIG_COMPACTION, which was empty so far, will do watermark check for
order-0 on all eligible zones.  This will cause retrying until either
the reclaim cannot make any further progress or all the zones are
depleted even for order-0 pages.  This means that the number of retries
is basically unbounded for !costly orders but that was the case before
the rework as well so this shouldn't regress.

"mm: consider compaction feedback also for costly allocation" has
removed the upper bound for the reclaim/compaction retries based on the
number of reclaimed pages for costly orders.  While this is desirable
the patch did miss a mis interaction between reclaim, compaction and the
retry logic.  The direct reclaim tries to get zones over min watermark
while compaction backs off and returns COMPACT_SKIPPED when all zones
are below low watermark + 1<<order gap.  If we are getting really close
to OOM then __compaction_suitable can keep returning COMPACT_SKIPPED a
high order request (e.g.  hugetlb order-9) while the reclaim is not able
to release enough pages to get us over low watermark.  The reclaim is
still able to make some progress (usually trashing over few remaining
pages) so we are not able to break out from the loop.

I have seen this happening with the same test described in "mm: consider
compaction feedback also for costly allocation" on a swapless system.
The original problem got resolved by "vmscan: consider classzone_idx in
compaction_ready" but it shows how things might go wrong when we
approach the oom event horizont.

The reason why compaction requires being over low rather than min
watermark is not clear to me.  This check was there essentially since
56de7263 ("mm: compaction: direct compact when a high-order
allocation fails").  It is clearly an implementation detail though and
we shouldn't pull it into the generic retry logic while we should be
able to cope with such eventuality.  The only place in
should_compact_retry where we retry without any upper bound is for
compaction_withdrawn() case.

Introduce compaction_zonelist_suitable function which checks the given
zonelist and returns true only if there is at least one zone which would
would unblock __compaction_suitable if more memory got reclaimed.  In
this implementation it checks __compaction_suitable with NR_FREE_PAGES
plus part of the reclaimable memory as the target for the watermark
check.  The reclaimable memory is reduced linearly by the allocation
order.  The idea is that we do not want to reclaim all the remaining
memory for a single allocation request just unblock
__compaction_suitable which doesn't guarantee we will make a further
progress.

The new helper is then used if compaction_withdrawn() feedback was
provided so we do not retry if there is no outlook for a further
progress.  !costly requests shouldn't be affected much - e.g.  order-2
pages would require to have at least 64kB on the reclaimable LRUs while
order-9 would need at least 32M which should be enough to not lock up.

PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER retry logic is mostly handled inside
should_reclaim_retry currently where we decide to not retry after at
least order worth of pages were reclaimed or the watermark check for at
least one zone would succeed after reclaiming all pages if the reclaim
hasn't made any progress.  Compaction feedback is mostly ignored and we
just try to make sure that the compaction did at least something before
giving up.

The first condition was added by a41f24ea ("page allocator: smarter
retry of costly-order allocations) and it assumed that lumpy reclaim
could have created a page of the sufficient order.  Lumpy reclaim, has
been removed quite some time ago so the assumption doesn't hold anymore.
Remove the check for the number of reclaimed pages and rely on the
compaction feedback solely.  should_reclaim_retry now only makes sure
that we keep retrying reclaim for high order pages only if they are
hidden by watermaks so order-0 reclaim makes really sense.

should_compact_retry now keeps retrying even for the costly allocations.
The number of retries is reduced wrt.  !costly requests because they are
less important and harder to grant and so their pressure shouldn't cause
contention for other requests or cause an over reclaim.  We also do not
reset no_progress_loops for costly request to make sure we do not keep
reclaiming too agressively.

This has been tested by running a process which fragments memory:
	- compact memory
	- mmap large portion of the memory (1920M on 2GRAM machine with 2G
	  of swapspace)
	- MADV_DONTNEED single page in PAGE_SIZE*((1UL<<MAX_ORDER)-1)
	  steps until certain amount of memory is freed (250M in my test)
	  and reduce the step to (step / 2) + 1 after reaching the end of
	  the mapping
	- then run a script which populates the page cache 2G (MemTotal)
	  from /dev/zero to a new file
And then tries to allocate
nr_hugepages=$(awk '/MemAvailable/{printf "%d\n", $2/(2*1024)}' /proc/meminfo)
huge pages.

should_reclaim_retry will give up retries for higher order allocations
if none of the eligible zones has any requested or higher order pages
available even if we pass the watermak check for order-0.  This is done
because there is no guarantee that the reclaimable and currently free
pages will form the required order.

This can, however, lead to situations where the high-order request (e.g.
order-2 required for the stack allocation during fork) will trigger OOM
too early - e.g.  after the first reclaim/compaction round.  Such a
system would have to be highly fragmented and there is no guarantee
further reclaim/compaction attempts would help but at least make sure
that the compaction was active before we go OOM and keep retrying even
if should_reclaim_retry tells us to oom if

	- the last compaction round backed off or
	- we haven't completed at least MAX_COMPACT_RETRIES active
	  compaction rounds.

The first rule ensures that the very last attempt for compaction was not
ignored while the second guarantees that the compaction has done some
work.  Multiple retries might be needed to prevent occasional pigggy
backing of other contexts to steal the compacted pages before the
current context manages to retry to allocate them.

compaction_failed() is taken as a final word from the compaction that
the retry doesn't make much sense.  We have to be careful though because
the first compaction round is MIGRATE_ASYNC which is rather weak as it
ignores pages under writeback and gives up too easily in other
situations.  We therefore have to make sure that MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT mode
has been used before we give up.  With this logic in place we do not
have to increase the migration mode unconditionally and rather do it
only if the compaction failed for the weaker mode.  A nice side effect
is that the stronger migration mode is used only when really needed so
this has a potential of smaller latencies in some cases.

Please note that the compaction doesn't tell us much about how
successful it was when returning compaction_made_progress so we just
have to blindly trust that another retry is worthwhile and cap the
number to something reasonable to guarantee a convergence.

If the given number of successful retries is not sufficient for a
reasonable workloads we should focus on the collected compaction
tracepoints data and try to address the issue in the compaction code.
If this is not feasible we can increase the retries limit.

wait_iff_congested has been used to throttle allocator before it retried
another round of direct reclaim to allow the writeback to make some
progress and prevent reclaim from looping over dirty/writeback pages
without making any progress.

We used to do congestion_wait before commit 0e093d99 ("writeback: do
not sleep on the congestion queue if there are no congested BDIs or if
significant congestion is not being encountered in the current zone")
but that led to undesirable stalls and sleeping for the full timeout
even when the BDI wasn't congested.  Hence wait_iff_congested was used
instead.

But it seems that even wait_iff_congested doesn't work as expected.  We
might have a small file LRU list with all pages dirty/writeback and yet
the bdi is not congested so this is just a cond_resched in the end and
can end up triggering pre mature OOM.

This patch replaces the unconditional wait_iff_congested by
congestion_wait which is executed only if we _know_ that the last round
of direct reclaim didn't make any progress and dirty+writeback pages are
more than a half of the reclaimable pages on the zone which might be
usable for our target allocation.  This shouldn't reintroduce stalls
fixed by 0e093d99 because congestion_wait is called only when we are
getting hopeless when sleeping is a better choice than OOM with many
pages under IO.

We have to preserve logic introduced by commit 373ccbe5 ("mm,
vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to discover memory reclaim doesn't make any
progress") into the __alloc_pages_slowpath now that wait_iff_congested
is not used anymore.  As the only remaining user of wait_iff_congested
is shrink_inactive_list we can remove the WQ specific short sleep from
wait_iff_congested because the sleep is needed to be done only once in
the allocation retry cycle.

__alloc_pages_slowpath has traditionally relied on the direct reclaim
and did_some_progress as an indicator that it makes sense to retry
allocation rather than declaring OOM.  shrink_zones had to rely on
zone_reclaimable if shrink_zone didn't make any progress to prevent from
a premature OOM killer invocation - the LRU might be full of dirty or
writeback pages and direct reclaim cannot clean those up.

zone_reclaimable allows to rescan the reclaimable lists several times
and restart if a page is freed.  This is really subtle behavior and it
might lead to a livelock when a single freed page keeps allocator
looping but the current task will not be able to allocate that single
page.  OOM killer would be more appropriate than looping without any
progress for unbounded amount of time.

This patch changes OOM detection logic and pulls it out from shrink_zone
which is too low to be appropriate for any high level decisions such as
OOM which is per zonelist property.  It is __alloc_pages_slowpath which
knows how many attempts have been done and what was the progress so far
therefore it is more appropriate to implement this logic.

The new heuristic is implemented in should_reclaim_retry helper called
from __alloc_pages_slowpath.  It tries to be more deterministic and
easier to follow.  It builds on an assumption that retrying makes sense
only if the currently reclaimable memory + free pages would allow the
current allocation request to succeed (as per __zone_watermark_ok) at
least for one zone in the usable zonelist.

This alone wouldn't be sufficient, though, because the writeback might
get stuck and reclaimable pages might be pinned for a really long time
or even depend on the current allocation context.  Therefore there is a
backoff mechanism implemented which reduces the reclaim target after
each reclaim round without any progress.  This means that we should
eventually converge to only NR_FREE_PAGES as the target and fail on the
wmark check and proceed to OOM.  The backoff is simple and linear with
1/16 of the reclaimable pages for each round without any progress.  We
are optimistic and reset counter for successful reclaim rounds.

Costly high order pages mostly preserve their semantic and those without
__GFP_REPEAT fail right away while those which have the flag set will
back off after the amount of reclaimable pages reaches equivalent of the
requested order.  The only difference is that if there was no progress
during the reclaim we rely on zone watermark check.  This is more
logical thing to do than previous 1<<order attempts which were a result
of zone_reclaimable faking the progress.

__alloc_pages_direct_compact communicates potential back off by two
variables:
	- deferred_compaction tells that the compaction returned
	  COMPACT_DEFERRED
	- contended_compaction is set when there is a contention on
	  zone->lock resp. zone->lru_lock locks

__alloc_pages_slowpath then backs of for THP allocation requests to
prevent from long stalls. This is rather messy and it would be much
cleaner to return a single compact result value and hide all the nasty
details into __alloc_pages_direct_compact.

This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

COMPACT_COMPLETE now means that compaction and free scanner met.  This
is not very useful information if somebody just wants to use this
feedback and make any decisions based on that.  The current caller might
be a poor guy who just happened to scan tiny portion of the zone and
that could be the reason no suitable pages were compacted.  Make sure we
distinguish the full and partial zone walks.

Consumers should treat COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED as a potential success
and be optimistic in retrying.

The existing users of COMPACT_COMPLETE are conservatively changed to use
COMPACT_PARTIAL_SKIPPED as well but some of them should be probably
reconsidered and only defer the compaction only for COMPACT_COMPLETE
with the new semantic.

This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

try_to_compact_pages() can currently return COMPACT_SKIPPED even when
the compaction is defered for some zone just because zone DMA is skipped
in 99% of cases due to watermark checks.  This makes COMPACT_DEFERRED
basically unusable for the page allocator as a feedback mechanism.

Make sure we distinguish those two states properly and switch their
ordering in the enum.  This would mean that the COMPACT_SKIPPED will be
returned only when all eligible zones are skipped.

As a result COMPACT_DEFERRED handling for THP in __alloc_pages_slowpath
will be more precise and we would bail out rather than reclaim.

The compiler is complaining after "mm, compaction: change COMPACT_

  mm/compaction.c: In function `compact_zone':

compaction_suitable is allowed to return only COMPACT_PARTIAL,
COMPACT_SKIPPED and COMPACT_CONTINUE so other cases are simply
impossible.  Put a VM_BUG_ON to catch an impossible return value.

Compaction code is doing weird dances between COMPACT_FOO -> int ->
unsigned long

But there doesn't seem to be any reason for that.  All functions which
return/use one of those constants are not expecting any other value so it
really makes sense to define an enum for them and make it clear that no
other values are expected.

This is a pure cleanup and shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

Motivation:
As pointed out by Linus [2][3] relying on zone_reclaimable as a way to
communicate the reclaim progress is rater dubious. I tend to agree,
not only it is really obscure, it is not hard to imagine cases where a
single page freed in the loop keeps all the reclaimers looping without
getting any progress because their gfp_mask wouldn't allow to get that
page anyway (e.g. single GFP_ATOMIC alloc and free loop). This is rather
rare so it doesn't happen in the practice but the current logic which we
have is rather obscure and hard to follow a also non-deterministic.

This is an attempt to make the OOM detection more deterministic and
easier to follow because each reclaimer basically tracks its own
progress which is implemented at the page allocator layer rather spread
out between the allocator and the reclaim.  The more on the
implementation is described in the first patch.

I have tested several different scenarios but it should be clear that
testing OOM killer is quite hard to be representative.  There is usually
a tiny gap between almost OOM and full blown OOM which is often time
sensitive.  Anyway, I have tested the following 2 scenarios and I would
appreciate if there are more to test.

Testing environment: a virtual machine with 2G of RAM and 2CPUs without
any swap to make the OOM more deterministic.

1) 2 writers (each doing dd with 4M blocks to an xfs partition with 1G
   file size, removes the files and starts over again) running in
   parallel for 10s to build up a lot of dirty pages when 100 parallel
   mem_eaters (anon private populated mmap which waits until it gets
   signal) with 80M each.

   This causes an OOM flood of course and I have compared both patched
   and unpatched kernels. The test is considered finished after there
   are no OOM conditions detected. This should tell us whether there are
   any excessive kills or some of them premature (e.g. due to dirty pages):

I have performed two runs this time each after a fresh boot.

The patched kernel run noticeably longer while invoking OOM killer same
number of times. This means that the original implementation is much
more aggressive and triggers the OOM killer sooner. free pages stats
show that neither kernels went OOM too early most of the time, though. I
guess the difference is in the backoff when retries without any progress
do sleep for a while if there is memory under writeback or dirty which
is highly likely considering the parallel IO.
Both kernels have seen races where zone wasn't marked unreclaimable
and we still hit the OOM killer. This is most likely a race where
a task managed to exit between the last allocation attempt and the oom
killer invocation.

2) 2 writers again with 10s of run and then 10 mem_eaters to consume as much
   memory as possible without triggering the OOM killer. This required a lot
   of tuning but I've considered 3 consecutive runs in three different boots
   without OOM as a success.

* base kernel
size=$(awk '/MemFree/{printf "%dK", ($2/10)-(16*1024)}' /proc/meminfo)

* patched kernel
size=$(awk '/MemFree/{printf "%dK", ($2/10)-(12*1024)}' /proc/meminfo)

That means 40M more memory was usable without triggering OOM killer. The
base kernel sometimes managed to handle the same as patched but it
wasn't consistent and failed in at least on of the 3 runs. This seems
like a minor improvement.

I was testing also GPF_REPEAT costly requests (hughetlb) with fragmented
memory and under memory pressure. The results are in patch 11 where the
logic is implemented. In short I can see huge improvement there.

I am certainly interested in other usecases as well as well as any
feedback. Especially those which require higher order requests.

This patch (of 14):

While playing with the oom detection rework [1] I have noticed that my
heavy order-9 (hugetlb) load close to OOM ended up in an endless loop
where the reclaim hasn't made any progress but did_some_progress didn't
reflect that and compaction_suitable was backing off because no zone is
above low wmark + 1 << order.

It turned out that this is in fact an old standing bug in
compaction_ready which ignores the requested_highidx and did the
watermark check for 0 classzone_idx.  This succeeds for zone DMA most
of the time as the zone is mostly unused because of lowmem protection.
As a result costly high order allocatios always report a successfull
progress even when there was none.  This wasn't a problem so far
because these allocations usually fail quite early or retry only few
times with __GFP_REPEAT but this will change after later patch in this
series so make sure to not lie about the progress and propagate
requested_highidx down to compaction_ready and use it for both the
watermak check and compaction_suitable to fix this issue.
