x86 is the only arch right now, which provides an optimized for
div_long_long_rem and it has the downside that one has to be very careful that
the divide doesn't overflow.

The API is a little akward, as the arguments for the unsigned divide are
signed.  The signed version also doesn't handle a negative divisor and
produces worse code on 64bit archs.

There is little incentive to keep this API alive, so this converts the few
users to the new API.

    memory hotplug: allocate usemap on the section with pgdat

    Usemaps are allocated on the section which has pgdat by this.

    Because usemap size is very small, many other sections usemaps are allocated
    on only one page.  If a section has usemap, it can't be removed until removing
    other sections.  This dependency is not desirable for memory removing.

    Pgdat has similar feature.  When a section has pgdat area, it must be the last
    section for removing on the node.  So, if section A has pgdat and section B
    has usemap for section A, Both sections can't be removed due to dependency
    each other.

    To solve this issue, this patch collects usemap on same section with pgdat.
    If other sections doesn't have any dependency, this section will be able to be
    removed finally.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki found a warning message in the buffer dirtying code that

What was happening is that migrate_page_copy wants to transfer the PG_dirty
bit from old page to new page, so what it would do is set_page_dirty(newpage).
However set_page_dirty() is used to set the entire page dirty, wheras in
this case, only part of the page was dirty, and it also was not uptodate.

Marking the whole page dirty with set_page_dirty would lead to corruption or
unresolvable conditions -- a dirty && !uptodate page and dirty && !uptodate
buffers.

Possibly we could just ClearPageDirty(oldpage); SetPageDirty(newpage);
however in the interests of keeping the change minimal...

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.

Fuse will use temporary buffers to write back dirty data from memory mappings
(normal writes are done synchronously).  This is needed, because there cannot
be any guarantee about the time in which a write will complete.

By using temporary buffers, from the MM's point if view the page is written
back immediately.  If the writeout was due to memory pressure, this
effectively migrates data from a full zone to a less full zone.

This patch adds a new counter (NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP) for the number of pages used
as temporary buffers.

Under normal circumstances each device is given a part of the total write-back
cache that relates to its current avg writeout speed in relation to the other
devices.

min_ratio - allows one to assign a minimum portion of the write-back cache to
a particular device.  This is useful in situations where you might want to
provide a minimum QoS.  (One request for this feature came from flash based
storage people who wanted to avoid writing out at all costs - they of course
needed some pdflush hacks as well)

max_ratio - allows one to assign a maximum portion of the dirty limit to a
particular device.  This is useful in situations where you want to avoid one
device taking all or most of the write-back cache.  Eg.  an NFS mount that is
prone to get stuck, or a FUSE mount which you don't trust to play fair.

The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from
the first executable VMA.  Then the path to the file is reconstructed and
reported as the result.

Because of the VMA walk the code is slightly different on nommu systems.
This patch avoids separate /proc/pid/exe code on nommu systems.  Instead of
walking the VMAs to find the first executable file-backed VMA we store a
reference to the exec'd file in the mm_struct.

That reference would prevent the filesystem holding the executable file
from being unmounted even after unmapping the VMAs.  So we track the number
of VM_EXECUTABLE VMAs and drop the new reference when the last one is
unmapped.  This avoids pinning the mounted filesystem.

This is a very common requirement from people using the resource accounting
facilities (not only memcgroup but also OpenVZ beancounters).  They want to
put the cgroup in an initial state without re-creating it.

For example after re-configuring a group people want to observe how this new
configuration fits the group needs without saving the previous failcnt value.

Merge two resets into one mem_cgroup_reset() function to demonstrate how
multiplexing work.

Besides, I have plans to move the files, that correspond to res_counter to the
res_counter.c file and somehow "import" them into controller.  I don't know
how to make it gracefully yet, but merging resets of max_usage and failcnt in
one function will be there for sure.

Move the memory controller data structure page_cgroup to its own slab cache.
It saves space on the system, allocations are not necessarily pushed to order
of 2 and should provide performance benefits.  Users who disable the memory
controller can also double check that the memory controller is not allocating
page_cgroup's.

NOTE: Hugh Dickins brought up the issue of whether we want to mark page_cgroup
as __GFP_MOVABLE or __GFP_RECLAIMABLE.  I don't think there is an easy answer
at the moment.  page_cgroup's are associated with user pages, they can be
reclaimed once the user page has been reclaimed, so it might make sense to
mark them as __GFP_RECLAIMABLE.  For now, I am leaving the marking to default
values that the slab allocator uses.

Remove the mem_cgroup member from mm_struct and instead adds an owner.

This approach was suggested by Paul Menage.  The advantage of this approach
is that, once the mm->owner is known, using the subsystem id, the cgroup
can be determined.  It also allows several control groups that are
virtually grouped by mm_struct, to exist independent of the memory
controller i.e., without adding mem_cgroup's for each controller, to
mm_struct.

A new config option CONFIG_MM_OWNER is added and the memory resource
controller selects this config option.

This patch also adds cgroup callbacks to notify subsystems when mm->owner
changes.  The mm_cgroup_changed callback is called with the task_lock() of
the new task held and is called just prior to changing the mm->owner.

I am indebted to Paul Menage for the several reviews of this patchset and
helping me make it lighter and simpler.

This patch was tested on a powerpc box, it was compiled with both the
MM_OWNER config turned on and off.

After the thread group leader exits, it's moved to init_css_state by
cgroup_exit(), thus all future charges from runnings threads would be
redirected to the init_css_set's subsystem.

Add __GFP_REPEAT to hugepage allocations.  Do so to not necessitate userspace
putting pressure on the VM by repeated echo's into /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
to grow the pool.  With the previous patch to allow for large-order
__GFP_REPEAT attempts to loop for a bit (as opposed to indefinitely), this
increases the likelihood of getting hugepages when the system experiences (or
recently experienced) load.

Mel tested the patchset on an x86_32 laptop.  With the patches, it was easier
to use the proc interface to grow the hugepage pool.  The following is the
output of a script that grows the pool as much as possible running on
2.6.25-rc9.

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

Don't perform kobjsize operations on objects the kernel doesn't manage.

On Blackfin, drivers can get dma coherent memory by calling a function
dma_alloc_coherent(). We do this in nommu by configuring a chunk of uncached
memory at the top of memory.

Since we don't want the kernel to use the uncached memory, we lie to the
kernel, and tell it that it's max memory is between 0, and the start of the
uncached dma coherent section.

this all works well, until this memory gets exposed into userspace (with a
frame buffer), when you look at the process's maps, it shows the framebuf:

root:/proc> cat maps
[snip]
03f0ef00-03f34700 rw-p 00000000 1f:00 192        /dev/fb0
root:/proc>

This is outside the "normal" range for the kernel. When the kernel tries to
find the size of this object (when you run ps), it dies in nommu.c in
kobjsize.

BUG_ON(page->index >= MAX_ORDER);

since the page we are referring to is outside what the kernel thinks is it's
max valid memory.

root:~> while [ 1 ]; ps > /dev/null; done
kernel BUG at mm/nommu.c:119!
Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG!

We fixed this by adding a check to reject out of range object pointers as it
already does that for NULL pointers.

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.

Usemaps are allocated on the section which has pgdat by this.

Because usemap size is very small, many other sections usemaps are allocated
on only one page.  If a section has usemap, it can't be removed until removing
other sections.  This dependency is not desirable for memory removing.

Pgdat has similar feature.  When a section has pgdat area, it must be the last
section for removing on the node.  So, if section A has pgdat and section B
has usemap for section A, Both sections can't be removed due to dependency
each other.

To solve this issue, this patch collects usemap on same section with pgdat.
If other sections doesn't have any dependency, this section will be able to be
removed finally.
