Presently, badness() doesn't care about either CPUSET nor mempolicy.  Then
if the victim child process have disjoint nodemask, OOM Killer might kill
innocent process.

This patch fixes it.

When shrink_inactive_list() isolates pages, it updates a number of
counters using temporary variables to gather them.  These consume stack
and it's in the main path that calls ->writepage().  This patch moves the
accounting updates outside of the main path to reduce stack usage.

shrink_page_list() sets up a pagevec to release pages as according as they
are free.  It uses significant amounts of stack on the pagevec.  This
patch adds pages to be freed via pagevec to a linked list which is then
freed en-masse at the end.  This avoids using stack in the main path that
potentially calls writepage().

shrink_inactive_list() sets up a pagevec to release unfreeable pages.  It
uses significant amounts of stack doing this.  This patch splits
shrink_inactive_list() to take the stack usage out of the main path so
that callers to writepage() do not contain an unused pagevec on the stack.

Now, max_scan of shrink_inactive_list() is always passed less than
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX.  then, we can remove scanning pages loop in it.  This
patch also help stack diet.

detail
 - remove "while (nr_scanned < max_scan)" loop
 - remove nr_freed (now, we use nr_reclaimed directly)
 - remove nr_scan (now, we use nr_scanned directly)
 - rename max_scan to nr_to_scan
 - pass nr_to_scan into isolate_pages() directly instead
   using SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX

Since 2.6.28 zone->prev_priority is unused. Then it can be removed
safely. It reduce stack usage slightly.

Now I have to say that I'm sorry. 2 years ago, I thought prev_priority
can be integrate again, it's useful. but four (or more) times trying
haven't got good performance number. Thus I give up such approach.

The rest of this changelog is notes on prev_priority and why it existed in
the first place and why it might be not necessary any more. This information
is based heavily on discussions between Andrew Morton, Rik van Riel and
Kosaki Motohiro who is heavily quotes from.

Historically prev_priority was important because it determined when the VM
would start unmapping PTE pages. i.e. there are no balances of note within
the VM, Anon vs File and Mapped vs Unmapped. Without prev_priority, there
is a potential risk of unnecessarily increasing minor faults as a large
amount of read activity of use-once pages could push mapped pages to the
end of the LRU and get unmapped.

There is no proof this is still a problem but currently it is not considered
to be. Active files are not deactivated if the active file list is smaller
than the inactive list reducing the liklihood that file-mapped pages are
being pushed off the LRU and referenced executable pages are kept on the
active list to avoid them getting pushed out by read activity.

Even if it is a problem, prev_priority prev_priority wouldn't works
nowadays. First of all, current vmscan still a lot of UP centric code. it
expose some weakness on some dozens CPUs machine. I think we need more and
more improvement.

The problem is, current vmscan mix up per-system-pressure, per-zone-pressure
and per-task-pressure a bit. example, prev_priority try to boost priority to
other concurrent priority. but if the another task have mempolicy restriction,
it is unnecessary, but also makes wrong big latency and exceeding reclaim.
per-task based priority + prev_priority adjustment make the emulation of
per-system pressure. but it have two issue 1) too rough and brutal emulation
2) we need per-zone pressure, not per-system.

Another example, currently DEF_PRIORITY is 12. it mean the lru rotate about
2 cycle (1/4096 + 1/2048 + 1/1024 + .. + 1) before invoking OOM-Killer.
but if 10,0000 thrreads enter DEF_PRIORITY reclaim at the same time, the
system have higher memory pressure than priority==0 (1/4096*10,000 > 2).
prev_priority can't solve such multithreads workload issue. In other word,
prev_priority concept assume the sysmtem don't have lots threads."

We try to avoid livelocks of writeback when some steadily creates dirty
pages in a mapping we are writing out.  For memory-cleaning writeback,
using nr_to_write works reasonably well but we cannot really use it for
data integrity writeback.  This patch tries to solve the problem.

The idea is simple: Tag all pages that should be written back with a
special tag (TOWRITE) in the radix tree.  This can be done rather quickly
and thus livelocks should not happen in practice.  Then we start doing the
hard work of locking pages and sending them to disk only for those pages
that have TOWRITE tag set.

Note: Adding new radix tree tag grows radix tree node from 288 to 296
bytes for 32-bit archs and from 552 to 560 bytes for 64-bit archs.
However, the number of slab/slub items per page remains the same (13 and 7
respectively).

Also optimize the map-paths, if a mapping is already established no need
to overwrite it with root anon-vma list, we can keep the more finegrined
anon-vma and skip the overwrite: see the PageAnon check in !exclusive
case.  This is also the optimization that hidden the ksm bug as this tends
to make ksm_might_need_to_copy skip the copy, but only the proper fix to
ksm_might_need_to_copy guarantees not triggering the ksm bug unless ksm is

The new anon-vma code, was suboptimal and it lead to erratic invocation of
ksm_does_need_to_copy.  That leads to host hangs or guest vnc lockup, or
weird behavior.  It's unclear why ksm_does_need_to_copy is unstable but
the point is that when KSM is not in use, ksm_does_need_to_copy must never
run or we bounce pages for no good reason.  I suspect the same hangs will
happen with KVM swaps.  But this at least fixes the regression in the
new-anon-vma code and it only let KSM bugs triggers when KSM is in use.

The code in do_swap_page likely doesn't cope well with a not-swapcache,
especially the memcg code.

I'm running a shmem pagefault test case (see attached file) under a 64 CPU
system.  Profile shows shmem_inode_info->lock is heavily contented and
100% CPUs time are trying to get the lock.  In the pagefault (no swap)
case, shmem_getpage gets the lock twice, the last one is avoidable if we
prealloc a page so we could reduce one time of locking.  This is what
below patch does.

The result of the test case:
2.6.35-rc3: ~20s
2.6.35-rc3 + patch: ~12s
so this is 40% improvement.

One might argue if we could have better locking for shmem.  But even shmem
is lockless, the pagefault will soon have pagecache lock heavily contented
because shmem must add new page to pagecache.  So before we have better
locking for pagecache, improving shmem locking doesn't have too much
improvement.  I did a similar pagefault test against a ramfs file, the
test result is ~10.5s.

The current implementation of tmpfs is not scalable.  We found that
stat_lock is contended by multiple threads when we need to get a new page,
leading to useless spinning inside this spin lock.

This patch makes use of the percpu_counter library to maintain local count
of used blocks to speed up getting and returning of pages.  So the
acquisition of stat_lock is unnecessary for getting and returning blocks,
improving the performance of tmpfs on system with large number of cpus.
On a 4 socket 32 core NHM-EX system, we saw improvement of 270%.

The implementation below has a slight chance of race between threads
causing a slight overshoot of the maximum configured blocks.  However, any
overshoot is small, and is bounded by the number of cpus.  This happens
when the number of used blocks is slightly below the maximum configured
blocks when a thread checks the used block count, and another thread
allocates the last block before the current thread does.  This should not
be a problem for tmpfs, as the overshoot is most likely to be a few blocks
and bounded.  If a strict limit is really desired, then configured the max
blocks to be the limit less the number of cpus in system.

Add percpu_counter_compare that allows for a quick but accurate comparison
of percpu_counter with a given value.

A rough count is provided by the count field in percpu_counter structure,
without accounting for the other values stored in individual cpu counters.

The actual count is a sum of count and the cpu counters.  However, count
field is never different from the actual value by a factor of
batch*num_online_cpu.  We do not need to get actual count for comparison
if count is different from the given value by this factor and allows for
quick comparison without summing up all the per cpu counters.

 - it will never be passed a task from oom_kill_task() without an ->mm

Also moves the kernel log message to a higher level since the verbosity is

task is given a longer timeslice.

It is possible to remove the special pagefault oom handler by simply oom
locking all system zones and then calling directly into out_of_memory().

All populated zones must have ZONE_OOM_LOCKED set, otherwise there is a
parallel oom killing in progress that will lead to eventual memory freeing
so it's not necessary to needlessly kill another task.  The context in
which the pagefault is allocating memory is unknown to the oom killer, so
this is done on a system-wide level.

If a task has already been oom killed and hasn't fully exited yet, this
will be a no-op since select_bad_process() recognizes tasks across the
system with TIF_MEMDIE set.

killing current users will help.  The memory is either reclaimable (or
migratable) already, in which case we should not invoke the oom killer at
all, or it is pinned by an application for I/O.  Killing such an
application may leave the hardware in an unspecified state and there is no
guarantee that it will be able to make a timely exit.

Lowmem allocations are now failed in oom conditions when __GFP_NOFAIL is
not used so that the task can perhaps recover or try again later.

Previously, the heuristic provided some protection for those tasks with
CAP_SYS_RAWIO, but this is no longer necessary since we will not be
killing tasks for the purposes of ISA allocations.

high_zoneidx is gfp_zone(gfp_flags), meaning that ZONE_NORMAL will be the
default for all allocations that are not __GFP_DMA, __GFP_DMA32,
__GFP_HIGHMEM, and __GFP_MOVABLE on kernels configured to support those
flags.  Testing for high_zoneidx being less than ZONE_NORMAL will only
return true for allocations that have either __GFP_DMA or __GFP_DMA32.

The oom killer tasklist dump, enabled with the oom_dump_tasks sysctl, is
very helpful information in diagnosing why a user's task has been killed.
It emits useful information such as each eligible thread's memory usage
that can determine why the system is oom, so it should be enabled by
default.
