While looking at node_states_check_changes_online, I stumbled upon some
confusing things.

Right after entering the function, we find this:

if (N_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY)
        zone_last = ZONE_MOVABLE;

This is wrong.
N_MEMORY cannot really be equal to N_NORMAL_MEMORY.
My guess is that this wanted to be something like:

if (N_NORMAL_MEMORY == N_HIGH_MEMORY)

to check if we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM.

Later on, in the CONFIG_HIGHMEM block, we have:

if (N_MEMORY == N_HIGH_MEMORY)
        zone_last = ZONE_MOVABLE;

Again, this is wrong, and will never be evaluated to true.

Besides removing these wrong if statements, I simplified the function a
bit.

node_states_clear has the following if statements:

if ((N_MEMORY != N_NORMAL_MEMORY) &&
    (arg->status_change_nid_high >= 0))
        ...

if ((N_MEMORY != N_HIGH_MEMORY) &&
    (arg->status_change_nid >= 0))

N_MEMORY can never be equal to neither N_NORMAL_MEMORY nor
N_HIGH_MEMORY.

Similar problem was found in [1].
Since this is wrong, let us get rid of it.

In node_states_check_changes_online, we check if the node will have to be
set for any of the N_*_MEMORY states after the pages have been onlined.

Later on, we perform the activation in node_states_set_node.  Currently,
in node_states_set_node we set the node to N_MEMORY unconditionally.

This means that we call node_set_state for N_MEMORY every time pages go
online, but we only need to do it if the node has not yet been set for
N_MEMORY.

Fix this by checking status_change_nid.

Patch series "mm: zap pages with read mmap_sem in munmap for large
mapping", v11.

Background:
Recently, when we ran some vm scalability tests on machines with large memory,
we ran into a couple of mmap_sem scalability issues when unmapping large memory
space, please refer to https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/14/733 and
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/20/576.

History:
Then akpm suggested to unmap large mapping section by section and drop mmap_sem
at a time to mitigate it (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/6/784).

V1 patch series was submitted to the mailing list per Andrew's suggestion
(see https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/20/786).  Then I received a lot great
feedback and suggestions.

Then this topic was discussed on LSFMM summit 2018.  In the summit, Michal
Hocko suggested (also in the v1 patches review) to try "two phases"
approach.  Zapping pages with read mmap_sem, then doing via cleanup with
write mmap_sem (for discussion detail, see
https://lwn.net/Articles/753269/)

Approach:
Zapping pages is the most time consuming part, according to the suggestion from
Michal Hocko [1], zapping pages can be done with holding read mmap_sem, like
what MADV_DONTNEED does. Then re-acquire write mmap_sem to cleanup vmas.

But, we can't call MADV_DONTNEED directly, since there are two major drawbacks:
  * The unexpected state from PF if it wins the race in the middle of munmap.
    It may return zero page, instead of the content or SIGSEGV.
  * Can't handle VM_LOCKED | VM_HUGETLB | VM_PFNMAP and uprobe mappings, which
    is a showstopper from akpm

But, some part may need write mmap_sem, for example, vma splitting. So,
the design is as follows:
        acquire write mmap_sem
        lookup vmas (find and split vmas)
        deal with special mappings
        detach vmas
        downgrade_write

        zap pages
        free page tables
        release mmap_sem

The vm events with read mmap_sem may come in during page zapping, but
since vmas have been detached before, they, i.e.  page fault, gup, etc,
will not be able to find valid vma, then just return SIGSEGV or -EFAULT as
expected.

If the vma has VM_HUGETLB | VM_PFNMAP, they are considered as special
mappings.  They will be handled by falling back to regular do_munmap()
with exclusive mmap_sem held in this patch since they may update vm flags.

But, with the "detach vmas first" approach, the vmas have been detached
when vm flags are updated, so it sounds safe to update vm flags with read
mmap_sem for this specific case.  So, VM_HUGETLB and VM_PFNMAP will be
handled by using the optimized path in the following separate patches for
bisectable sake.

Unmapping uprobe areas may need update mm flags (MMF_RECALC_UPROBES).
However it is fine to have false-positive MMF_RECALC_UPROBES according to
uprobes developer.  So, uprobe unmap will not be handled by the regular
path.

With the "detach vmas first" approach we don't have to re-acquire mmap_sem
again to clean up vmas to avoid race window which might get the address
space changed since downgrade_write() doesn't release the lock to lead
regression, which simply downgrades to read lock.

And, since the lock acquire/release cost is managed to the minimum and
almost as same as before, the optimization could be extended to any size
of mapping without incurring significant penalty to small mappings.

For the time being, just do this in munmap syscall path.  Other
vm_munmap() or do_munmap() call sites (i.e mmap, mremap, etc) remain
intact due to some implementation difficulties since they acquire write
mmap_sem from very beginning and hold it until the end, do_munmap() might
be called in the middle.  But, the optimized do_munmap would like to be
called without mmap_sem held so that we can do the optimization.  So, if
we want to do the similar optimization for mmap/mremap path, I'm afraid we
would have to redesign them.  mremap might be called on very large area
depending on the usecases, the optimization to it will be considered in
the future.

This patch (of 3):

When running some mmap/munmap scalability tests with large memory (i.e.
> 300GB), the below hung task issue may happen occasionally.

It is because munmap holds mmap_sem exclusively from very beginning to all
the way down to the end, and doesn't release it in the middle.  When
unmapping large mapping, it may take long time (take ~18 seconds to unmap
320GB mapping with every single page mapped on an idle machine).

Zapping pages is the most time consuming part, according to the suggestion
from Michal Hocko [1], zapping pages can be done with holding read
mmap_sem, like what MADV_DONTNEED does.  Then re-acquire write mmap_sem to
cleanup vmas.

        detach vmas
        downgrade_write

        zap pages
        free page tables
        release mmap_sem

The vm events with read mmap_sem may come in during page zapping, but
since vmas have been detached before, they, i.e.  page fault, gup, etc,
will not be able to find valid vma, then just return SIGSEGV or -EFAULT as
expected.

If the vma has VM_HUGETLB | VM_PFNMAP, they are considered as special
mappings.  They will be handled by without downgrading mmap_sem in this
patch since they may update vm flags.

But, with the "detach vmas first" approach, the vmas have been detached

mmap_sem for this specific case.  So, VM_HUGETLB and VM_PFNMAP will be

depending on the usecases, the optimization to it will be considered in
the future.

With the patches, exclusive mmap_sem hold time when munmap a 80GB address
space on a machine with 32 cores of E5-2680 @ 2.70GHz dropped to us level
from second.

munmap_test-15002 [008]   594.380138: funcgraph_entry: |
__vm_munmap() {
munmap_test-15002 [008]   594.380146: funcgraph_entry:      !2485684 us
|    unmap_region();
munmap_test-15002 [008]   596.865836: funcgraph_exit:       !2485692 us
|  }

Here the execution time of unmap_region() is used to evaluate the time of
holding read mmap_sem, then the remaining time is used with holding
exclusive lock.

should_suppress_show_mem() was introduced to reduce the overhead of
show_mem on large NUMA systems.  Things have changed since then though.
Namely c78e9363 ("mm: do not walk all of system memory during
show_mem") has reduced the overhead considerably.

Moreover warn_alloc_show_mem clears SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES when called from
the IRQ context already so we are not printing per node stats.

Remove should_suppress_show_mem because we are losing potentially
interesting information about allocation failures.  We have seen a bug
report where system gets unresponsive under memory pressure and there is
only

The page cache and most shrinkable slab caches hold data that has been
read from disk, but there are some caches that only cache CPU work, such
as the dentry and inode caches of procfs and sysfs, as well as the subset
of radix tree nodes that track non-resident page cache.

Currently, all these are shrunk at the same rate: using DEFAULT_SEEKS for
the shrinker's seeks setting tells the reclaim algorithm that for every
two page cache pages scanned it should scan one slab object.

This is a bogus setting.  A virtual inode that required no IO to create is
not twice as valuable as a page cache page; shadow cache entries with
eviction distances beyond the size of memory aren't either.

In most cases, the behavior in practice is still fine.  Such virtual
caches don't tend to grow and assert themselves aggressively, and usually
get picked up before they cause problems.  But there are scenarios where
that's not true.

Our database workloads suffer from two of those.  For one, their file
workingset is several times bigger than available memory, which has the
kernel aggressively create shadow page cache entries for the non-resident
parts of it.  The workingset code does tell the VM that most of these are
expendable, but the VM ends up balancing them 2:1 to cache pages as per
the seeks setting.  This is a huge waste of memory.

These workloads also deal with tens of thousands of open files and use
/proc for introspection, which ends up growing the proc_inode_cache to
absurdly large sizes - again at the cost of valuable cache space, which
isn't a reasonable trade-off, given that proc inodes can be re-created
without involving the disk.

This patch implements a "zero-seek" setting for shrinkers that results in
a target ratio of 0:1 between their objects and IO-backed caches.  This
allows such virtual caches to grow when memory is available (they do
cache/avoid CPU work after all), but effectively disables them as soon as
IO-backed objects are under pressure.

It then switches the shrinkers for procfs and sysfs metadata, as well as
excess page cache shadow nodes, to the new zero-seek setting.

On a system that executes multiple cgrouped jobs and independent
workloads, we don't just care about the health of the overall system, but
also that of individual jobs, so that we can ensure individual job health,
fairness between jobs, or prioritize some jobs over others.

This patch implements pressure stall tracking for cgroups.  In kernels
with CONFIG_PSI=y, cgroup2 groups will have cpu.pressure, memory.pressure,
and io.pressure files that track aggregate pressure stall times for only
the tasks inside the cgroup.

When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard
to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close
the system is to lockups and OOM kills.  In particular, when machines work
multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency
and throughput on the individual job can be enormous.

In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual
job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way
to quantify resource pressure in the system.

A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that
expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO,
respectively.  Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay
accounting delays:

       cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU
       memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache
       io: tasks are waiting for io completions

These percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages,
and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss
incurred by resource overcommit.  They can also indicate when the system
is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs.

To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU
and samples the time they spend in stall states.  Every 2 seconds, the
samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to
eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of
walltime.  A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s,
1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).

Delay accounting already measures the time a task spends in direct reclaim
and waiting for swapin, but in low memory situations tasks spend can spend
a significant amount of their time waiting on thrashing page cache.  This
isn't tracked right now.

To know the full impact of memory contention on an individual task,
measure the delay when waiting for a recently evicted active cache page to
read back into memory.

Refaults happen during transitions between workingsets as well as in-place
thrashing.  Knowing the difference between the two has a range of
applications, including measuring the impact of memory shortage on the
system performance, as well as the ability to smarter balance pressure
between the filesystem cache and the swap-backed workingset.

During workingset transitions, inactive cache refaults and pushes out
established active cache.  When that active cache isn't stale, however,
and also ends up refaulting, that's bonafide thrashing.

Introduce a new page flag that tells on eviction whether the page has been
active or not in its lifetime.  This bit is then stored in the shadow
entry, to classify refaults as transitioning or thrashing.

How many page->flags does this leave us with on 32-bit?

	20 bits are always page flags

	21 if you have an MMU

	23 with the zone bits for DMA, Normal, HighMem, Movable

	29 with the sparsemem section bits

	30 if PAE is enabled

	31 with this patch.

So on 32-bit PAE, that leaves 1 bit for distinguishing two NUMA nodes.  If
that's not enough, the system can switch to discontigmem and re-gain the 6
or 7 sparsemem section bits.

Patch series "psi: pressure stall information for CPU, memory, and IO", v4.

		Overview

PSI reports the overall wallclock time in which the tasks in a system (or
cgroup) wait for (contended) hardware resources.

This helps users understand the resource pressure their workloads are
under, which allows them to rootcause and fix throughput and latency
problems caused by overcommitting, underprovisioning, suboptimal job
placement in a grid; as well as anticipate major disruptions like OOM.

		Real-world applications

We're using the data collected by PSI (and its previous incarnation,
memdelay) quite extensively at Facebook, and with several success stories.

One usecase is avoiding OOM hangs/livelocks.  The reason these happen is
because the OOM killer is triggered by reclaim not being able to free
pages, but with fast flash devices there is *always* some clean and
uptodate cache to reclaim; the OOM killer never kicks in, even as tasks
spend 90% of the time thrashing the cache pages of their own executables.
There is no situation where this ever makes sense in practice.  We wrote a
<100 line POC python script to monitor memory pressure and kill stuff way
before such pathological thrashing leads to full system losses that would
require forcible hard resets.

We've since extended and deployed this code into other places to guarantee
latency and throughput SLAs, since they're usually violated way before the
kernel OOM killer would ever kick in.

It is available here: https://github.com/facebookincubator/oomd

Eventually we probably want to trigger the in-kernel OOM killer based on
extreme sustained pressure as well, so that Linux can avoid memory
livelocks - which technically aren't deadlocks, but to the user
indistinguishable from them - out of the box.  We'd continue using OOMD as
the first line of defense to ensure workload health and implement complex
kill policies that are beyond the scope of the kernel.

We also use PSI memory pressure for loadshedding.  Our batch job
infrastructure used to use heuristics based on various VM stats to
anticipate OOM situations, with lackluster success.  We switched it to PSI
and managed to anticipate and avoid OOM kills and lockups fairly reliably.
The reduction of OOM outages in the worker pool raised the pool's
aggregate productivity, and we were able to switch that service to smaller
machines.

Lastly, we use cgroups to isolate a machine's main workload from
maintenance crap like package upgrades, logging, configuration, as well as
to prevent multiple workloads on a machine from stepping on each others'
toes.  We were not able to configure this properly without the pressure
metrics; we would see latency or bandwidth drops, but it would often be
hard to impossible to rootcause it post-mortem.

We now log and graph pressure for the containers in our fleet and can
trivially link latency spikes and throughput drops to shortages of
specific resources after the fact, and fix the job config/scheduling.

PSI has also received testing, feedback, and feature requests from Android
and EndlessOS for the purpose of low-latency OOM killing, to intervene in
pressure situations before the UI starts hanging.

		How do you use this feature?

A kernel with CONFIG_PSI=y will create a /proc/pressure directory with 3
files: cpu, memory, and io.  If using cgroup2, cgroups will also have
cpu.pressure, memory.pressure and io.pressure files, which simply
aggregate task stalls at the cgroup level instead of system-wide.

The cpu file contains one line:

	some avg10=2.04 avg60=0.75 avg300=0.40 total=157656722

The averages give the percentage of walltime in which one or more tasks
are delayed on the runqueue while another task has the CPU.  They're
recent averages over 10s, 1m, 5m windows, so you can tell short term
trends from long term ones, similarly to the load average.

The total= value gives the absolute stall time in microseconds.  This
allows detecting latency spikes that might be too short to sway the
running averages.  It also allows custom time averaging in case the
10s/1m/5m windows aren't adequate for the usecase (or are too coarse with
future hardware).

What to make of this "some" metric?  If CPU utilization is at 100% and CPU
pressure is 0, it means the system is perfectly utilized, with one
runnable thread per CPU and nobody waiting.  At two or more runnable tasks
per CPU, the system is 100% overcommitted and the pressure average will
indicate as much.  From a utilization perspective this is a great state of
course: no CPU cycles are being wasted, even when 50% of the threads were
to go idle (as most workloads do vary).  From the perspective of the
individual job it's not great, however, and they would do better with more
resources.  Depending on what your priority and options are, raised "some"
numbers may or may not require action.

The memory file contains two lines:

some avg10=70.24 avg60=68.52 avg300=69.91 total=3559632828
full avg10=57.59 avg60=58.06 avg300=60.38 total=3300487258

The some line is the same as for cpu, the time in which at least one task
is stalled on the resource.  In the case of memory, this includes waiting
on swap-in, page cache refaults and page reclaim.

The full line, however, indicates time in which *nobody* is using the CPU
productively due to pressure: all non-idle tasks are waiting for memory in
one form or another.  Significant time spent in there is a good trigger
for killing things, moving jobs to other machines, or dropping incoming
requests, since neither the jobs nor the machine overall are making too
much headway.

The io file is similar to memory.  Because the block layer doesn't have a
concept of hardware contention right now (how much longer is my IO request
taking due to other tasks?), it reports CPU potential lost on all IO
delays, not just the potential lost due to competition.

		FAQ

Q: How is PSI's CPU component different from the load average?

A: There are several quirks in the load average that make it hard to
   impossible to tell how overcommitted the CPU really is.

   1. The load average is reported as a raw number of active tasks.
      You need to know how many CPUs there are in the system, how many
      CPUs the workload is allowed to use, then think about what the
      proportion between load and the number of CPUs mean for the
      tasks trying to run.

      PSI reports the percentage of wallclock time in which tasks are
      waiting for a CPU to run on. It doesn't matter how many CPUs are
      present or usable. The number always tells the quality of life
      of tasks in the system or in a particular cgroup.

   2. The shortest averaging window is 1m, which is extremely coarse,
      and it's sampled in 5s intervals. A *lot* can happen on a CPU in
      5 seconds. This *may* be able to identify persistent long-term
      trends and very clear and obvious overloads, but it's unusable
      for latency spikes and more subtle overutilization.

      PSI's shortest window is 10s. It also exports the cumulative
      stall times (in microseconds) of synchronously recorded events.

   3. On Linux, the load average for historical reasons includes all
      TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE tasks. This gives a broader sense of how
      busy the system is, but on the flipside it doesn't distinguish
      whether tasks are likely to contend over the CPU or IO - which
      obviously requires very different interventions from a sys admin
      or a job scheduler.

      PSI reports independent metrics for CPU and IO. You can tell
      which resource is making the tasks wait, but in conjunction
      still see how overloaded the system is overall.

Q: What's the cost / performance impact of this feature?

A: PSI's primary cost is in the scheduler, in particular task wakeups
   and sleeps.

   I benchmarked this code using Facebook's two most scheduling
   sensitive workloads: memcache and webserver. They handle a ton of
   small requests - lots of wakeups and sleeps with little actual work
   in between - so they tend to be canaries for scheduler regressions.

   In the tests, the boxes were handling live traffic over the course
   of several hours. Half the machines, the control, ran with
   CONFIG_PSI=n.

   For memcache I used eight machines total. They're 2-socket, 14
   core, 56 thread boxes. The test runs for half the test period,
   flips the test and control kernels on the hardware to rule out HW
   factors, DC location etc., then runs the other half of the test.

   For the webservers, I used 32 machines total. They're single
   socket, 16 core, 32 thread machines.

   During the memcache test, CPU load was nopsi=78.05% psi=78.98% in
   the first half and nopsi=77.52% psi=78.25%, so PSI added between
   0.7 and 0.9 percentage points to the CPU load, a difference of
   about 1%.

   UPDATE: I re-ran this test with the v3 version of this patch set
   and the CPU utilization was equivalent between test and control.

   UPDATE: v4 is on par with v3.

   As far as end-to-end request latency from the client perspective
   goes, we don't sample those finely enough to capture the requests
   going to those particular machines during the test, but we know the
   p50 turnaround time in this workload is 54us, and perf bench sched
   pipe on those machines show nopsi=5.232666 us/op and psi=5.587347
   us/op, so this doesn't add much here either.

   The profile for the pipe benchmark shows:

        0.87%  sched-pipe  [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] psi_group_change
        0.83%  perf.real   [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] psi_group_change
        0.82%  perf.real   [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] psi_task_change
        0.58%  sched-pipe  [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] psi_task_change

   The webserver load is running inside 4 nested cgroup levels. The
   CPU load with both nopsi and psi kernels was indistinguishable at
   81%.

   For comparison, we had to disable the cgroup cpu controller on the
   webservers because it added 4 percentage points to the CPU% during
   this same exact test.

   Versions of this accounting code now run on 80% of our fleet. None
   of our workloads have reported regressions during the rollout.

This patch (of 9):

If we keep just enough refault information to match the *current* page
cache during reclaim time, we could lose a lot of events when there is
only a temporary spike in non-cache memory consumption that pushes out all
the cache.  Once cache comes back, we won't see those refaults.  They
might not be actionable for LRU aging, but we want to know about them for
measuring memory pressure.

Kmalloc cache names can get quite long for large object sizes, when the
sizes are expressed in bytes.  Use 'k' and 'M' prefixes to make the names
as short as possible e.g.  in /proc/slabinfo.  This works, as we mostly
use power-of-two sizes, with exceptions only below 1k.

Example: 'kmalloc-4194304' becomes 'kmalloc-4M'

The vmstat NR_KERNEL_MISC_RECLAIMABLE counter is for kernel non-slab
allocations that can be reclaimed via shrinker.  In /proc/meminfo, we can
show the sum of all reclaimable kernel allocations (including slab) as
"KReclaimable".  Add the same counter also to per-node meminfo under /sys

With this counter, users will have more complete information about kernel
memory usage.  Non-slab reclaimable pages (currently just the ION
allocator) will not be missing from /proc/meminfo, making users wonder
where part of their memory went.  More precisely, they already appear in
MemAvailable, but without the new counter, it's not obvious why the value
in MemAvailable doesn't fully correspond with the sum of other counters
participating in it.

The vmstat counter NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES was introduced by
commit eb592546 ("mm: introduce NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES") with
the goal of accounting objects that can be reclaimed, but cannot be
allocated via a SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT cache.  This is now possible via
kmalloc() with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE flag, and the dcache external names user
is converted.

The counter is however still useful for accounting direct page allocations
(i.e.  not slab) with a shrinker, such as the ION page pool.  So keep it,
and:

- change granularity to pages to be more like other counters; sub-page
  allocations should be able to use kmalloc
- rename the counter to NR_KERNEL_MISC_RECLAIMABLE
- expose the counter again in vmstat as "nr_kernel_misc_reclaimable"; we can
  again remove the check for not printing "hidden" counters

We can use the newly introduced kmalloc-reclaimable-X caches, to allocate
external names in dcache, which will take care of the proper accounting
automatically, and also improve anti-fragmentation page grouping.

This effectively reverts commit f1782c9b ("dcache: account external
names as indirectly reclaimable memory") and instead passes
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE to kmalloc().  The accounting thus moves from
NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES to NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE, which is also
considered in MemAvailable calculation and overcommit decisions.

Kmem caches can be created with a SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT flag, which
indicates they contain objects which can be reclaimed under memory
pressure (typically through a shrinker).  This makes the slab pages
accounted as NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE in vmstat, which is reflected also the
MemAvailable meminfo counter and in overcommit decisions.  The slab pages
are also allocated with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE, which is good for
anti-fragmentation through grouping pages by mobility.

The generic kmalloc-X caches are created without this flag, but sometimes
are used also for objects that can be reclaimed, which due to varying size
cannot have a dedicated kmem cache with SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT flag.  A
prominent example are dcache external names, which prompted the creation
of a new, manually managed vmstat counter NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES
in commit f1782c9b ("dcache: account external names as indirectly
reclaimable memory").

To better handle this and any other similar cases, this patch introduces
SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT variants of kmalloc caches, named kmalloc-rcl-X.
They are used whenever the kmalloc() call passes __GFP_RECLAIMABLE among
gfp flags.  They are added to the kmalloc_caches array as a new type.
Allocations with both __GFP_DMA and __GFP_RECLAIMABLE will use a dma type
cache.

This change only applies to SLAB and SLUB, not SLOB.  This is fine, since
SLOB's target are tiny system and this patch does add some overhead of
kmem management objects.

Patch series "kmalloc-reclaimable caches", v4.

As discussed at LSF/MM [1] here's a patchset that introduces
kmalloc-reclaimable caches (more details in the second patch) and uses
them for dcache external names.  That allows us to repurpose the
NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES counter later in the series.

With patch 3/6, dcache external names are allocated from kmalloc-rcl-*
caches, eliminating the need for manual accounting.  More importantly, it
also ensures the reclaimable kmalloc allocations are grouped in pages
separate from the regular kmalloc allocations.  The need for proper
accounting of dcache external names has shown it's easy for misbehaving
process to allocate lots of them, causing premature OOMs.  Without the
added grouping, it's likely that a similar workload can interleave the
dcache external names allocations with regular kmalloc allocations (note:
I haven't searched myself for an example of such regular kmalloc
allocation, but I would be very surprised if there wasn't some).  A
pathological case would be e.g.  one 64byte regular allocations with 63
external dcache names in a page (64x64=4096), which means the page is not
freed even after reclaiming after all dcache names, and the process can
thus "steal" the whole page with single 64byte allocation.

If other kmalloc users similar to dcache external names become identified,
they can also benefit from the new functionality simply by adding
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE to the kmalloc calls.

Side benefits of the patchset (that could be also merged separately)
include removed branch for detecting __GFP_DMA kmalloc(), and shortening
kmalloc cache names in /proc/slabinfo output.  The latter is potentially
an ABI break in case there are tools parsing the names and expecting the
values to be in bytes.

This is how /proc/slabinfo looks like after booting in virtme:

This patch (of 6):

The kmalloc caches currently mainain separate (optional) array
kmalloc_dma_caches for __GFP_DMA allocations.  There are tests for
__GFP_DMA in the allocation hotpaths.  We can avoid the branches by
combining kmalloc_caches and kmalloc_dma_caches into a single
two-dimensional array where the outer dimension is cache "type".  This
will also allow to add kmalloc-reclaimable caches as a third type.

get_mempolicy(MPOL_F_NODE|MPOL_F_ADDR) called a get_user_pages that would
not be waiting for userfaults before failing and it would hit on a SIGBUS
instead.  Using get_user_pages_locked/unlocked instead will allow
get_mempolicy to allow userfaults to resolve the fault and fill the hole,
before grabbing the node id of the page.

If the user calls get_mempolicy() with MPOL_F_ADDR | MPOL_F_NODE for an
address inside an area managed by uffd and there is no page at that
address, the page allocation from within get_mempolicy() will fail
because get_user_pages() does not allow for page fault retry required
for uffd; the user will get SIGBUS.

With this patch, the page fault will be resolved by the uffd and the
get_mempolicy() will continue normally.

Background:

Via code review, previously the syscall would have returned -EFAULT
(vm_fault_to_errno), now it will block and wait for an userfault (if
it's waken before the fault is resolved it'll still -EFAULT).

This way get_mempolicy will give a chance to an "unaware" app to be
compliant with userfaults.

The reason this visible change is that becoming "userfault compliant"
cannot regress anything: all other syscalls including read(2)/write(2)
had to become "userfault compliant" long time ago (that's one of the
things userfaultfd can do that PROT_NONE and trapping segfaults can't).

So this is just one more syscall that become "userfault compliant" like
all other major ones already were.

This has been happening on virtio-bridge dpdk process which just called
get_mempolicy on the guest space post live migration, but before the
memory had a chance to be migrated to destination.

I didn't run an strace to be able to show the -EFAULT going away, but
I've the confirmation of the below debug aid information (only visible
with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y) going away with the patch:

The above harmless debug message (not a kernel crash, just a
dump_stack()) is shown with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y to more quickly identify
and improve kernel spots that may have to become "userfaultfd
compliant" like this one (without having to run an strace and search
for syscall misbehavior).  Spots like the above are more closer to a
kernel bug for the non-cooperative usages that Mike focuses on, than
for for dpdk qemu-cooperative usages that reproduced it, but it's still
nicer to get this fixed for dpdk too.

The part of the patch that caused me to think is only the
implementation issue of mpol_get, but it looks like it should work safe
no matter the kind of mempolicy structure that is (the default static
policy also starts at 1 so it'll go to 2 and back to 1 without crashing
everything at 0).

Replace bootmem allocator with memblock and enable use of NO_BOOTMEM like
on most other architectures.

Alpha gets the description of the physical memory from the firmware as an
array of memory clusters.  Each cluster that is not reserved by the
firmware is added to memblock.memory.

Once the memblock.memory is set up, we reserve the kernel and initrd pages
with memblock reserve.

Since we don't need the bootmem bitmap anymore, the code that finds an
appropriate place is removed.

The conversion does not take care of NUMA support which is marked broken
for more than 10 years now.

The unicore32 architecture already supports memblock and uses it for some
early memory reservations, e.g initrd and the page tables.

At some point unicore32 allocates the bootmem bitmap from the memblock and
then hands over the memory reservations from memblock to bootmem.

This patch removes the bootmem initialization and leaves memblock as the
only boot time memory manager for unicore32.

Memory region size is rounded down to page boundary and with sub-page
region it becomes 0 and there is no point to add an empty region.
Moreover, when the base is less than PAGE_SIZE we get a bogus size as
(base + size - 1) evaluates to -1.

8cccffc5 ("of: check for size < 0 after rounding in
early_init_dt_add_memory_arch") introduced a test for wrap around for the
case when base is not page aligned, the same test can be used to ignore
sub-page region sizes.
