hugepage migration relies on __alloc_buddy_huge_page to get a new page.
This has 2 main disadvantages.

1) it doesn't allow to migrate any huge page if the pool is used
   completely which is not an exceptional case as the pool is static and
   unused memory is just wasted.

2) it leads to a weird semantic when migration between two numa nodes
   might increase the pool size of the destination NUMA node while the
   page is in use.  The issue is caused by per NUMA node surplus pages
   tracking (see free_huge_page).

Address both issues by changing the way how we allocate and account
pages allocated for migration.  Those should temporal by definition.  So
we mark them that way (we will abuse page flags in the 3rd page) and
update free_huge_page to free such pages to the page allocator.  Page
migration path then just transfers the temporal status from the new page
to the old one which will be freed on the last reference.  The global
surplus count will never change during this path but we still have to be
careful when migrating a per-node suprlus page.  This is now handled in
move_hugetlb_state which is called from the migration path and it copies
the hugetlb specific page state and fixes up the accounting when needed

Rename __alloc_buddy_huge_page to __alloc_surplus_huge_page to better
reflect its purpose.  The new allocation routine for the migration path
is __alloc_migrate_huge_page.

The user visible effect of this patch is that migrated pages are really
temporal and they travel between NUMA nodes as per the migration
request:

Before migration
  /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/free_hugepages:0
  /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages:1

  /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/surplus_hugepages:0

with the previous implementation, both nodes would have nr_hugepages:1
until the page is freed.

Gigantic hugetlb pages were ingrown to the hugetlb code as an alien
specie with a lot of special casing.  The allocation path is not an
exception.  Unnecessarily so to be honest.  It is true that the
underlying allocator is different but that is an implementation detail.

This patch unifies the hugetlb allocation path that a prepares fresh
pool pages.  alloc_fresh_gigantic_page basically copies
alloc_fresh_huge_page logic so we can move everything there.  This will
simplify set_max_huge_pages which doesn't have to care about what kind
of huge page we allocate.

Patch series "mm, hugetlb: allocation API and migration improvements"

Motivation:

this is a follow up for [3] for the allocation API and [4] for the
hugetlb migration.  It wasn't really easy to split those into two
separate patch series as they share some code.

My primary motivation to touch this code is to make the gigantic pages
migration working.  The giga pages allocation code is just too fragile
and hacked into the hugetlb code now.  This series tries to move giga
pages closer to the first class citizen.  We are not there yet but
having 5 patches is quite a lot already and it will already make the
code much easier to follow.  I will come with other changes on top after
this sees some review.

The first two patches should be trivial to review.  The third patch
changes the way how we migrate huge pages.  Newly allocated pages are a
subject of the overcommit check and they participate surplus accounting
which is quite unfortunate as the changelog explains.  This patch
doesn't change anything wrt.  giga pages.

Patch #4 removes the surplus accounting hack from
__alloc_surplus_huge_page.  I hope I didn't miss anything there and a
deeper review is really due there.

Patch #5 finally unifies allocation paths and giga pages shouldn't be
any special anymore.  There is also some renaming going on as well.

This patch (of 6):

hugetlb allocator has two entry points to the page allocator
 - alloc_fresh_huge_page_node
 - __hugetlb_alloc_buddy_huge_page

The two differ very subtly in two aspects.  The first one doesn't care
about HTLB_BUDDY_* stats and it doesn't initialize the huge page.
prep_new_huge_page is not used because it not only initializes hugetlb
specific stuff but because it also put_page and releases the page to the
hugetlb pool which is not what is required in some contexts.  This makes
things more complicated than necessary.

Simplify things by a) removing the page allocator entry point duplicity
and only keep __hugetlb_alloc_buddy_huge_page and b) make
prep_new_huge_page more reusable by removing the put_page which moves
the page to the allocator pool.  All current callers are updated to call
put_page explicitly.  Later patches will add new callers which won't
need it.

This patch shouldn't introduce any functional change.

mem_cgroup_resize_[memsw]_limit() tries to free only 32
(SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX) pages on each iteration.  This makes it practically
impossible to decrease limit of memory cgroup.  Tasks could easily
allocate back 32 pages, so we can't reduce memory usage, and once
retry_count reaches zero we return -EBUSY.

Easy to reproduce the problem by running the following commands:

  mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
  echo $$ >> /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/tasks
  cat big_file > /dev/null &
  sleep 1 && echo $((100*1024*1024)) > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
  -bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy

Instead of relying on retry_count, keep retrying the reclaim until the
desired limit is reached or fail if the reclaim doesn't make any
progress or a signal is pending.

The variable 'entry' is used before being initialized in
hmm_vma_walk_pmd().

No bad effect (beside performance hit) so !non_swap_entry(0) evaluate to
true which trigger a fault as if CPU was trying to access migrated
memory and migrate memory back from device memory to regular memory.

This function (hmm_vma_walk_pmd()) is called when a device driver tries
to populate its own page table.  For migrated memory it should not
happen as the device driver should already have populated its page table
correctly during the migration.

Only case I can think of is multi-GPU where a second GPU triggers
migration back to regular memory.  Again this would just result in a
performance hit, nothing bad would happen.

The comment is confusing.  On the one hand, it refers to 32-bit
alignment (struct page alignment on 32-bit platforms), but this would
only guarantee that the 2 lowest bits must be zero.  On the other hand,
it claims that at least 3 bits are available, and 3 bits are actually
used.

This is not broken, because there is a stronger alignment guarantee,
just less obvious.  Let's fix the comment to make it clear how many bits
are available and why.

Although memmap arrays are allocated in various places, the resulting
pointer is encoded eventually, so I am adding a BUG_ON() here to enforce
at runtime that all expected bits are indeed available.

I have also added a BUILD_BUG_ON to check that PFN_SECTION_SHIFT is
sufficient, because this part of the calculation can be easily checked
at build time.

During our recent testing with fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED), we find that if
given offset/length is not page-aligned, the last page will not be
discarded.  The tool we use is vmtouch (https://hoytech.com/vmtouch/),
we map a 10KB-sized file into memory and then try to run this tool to
evict the whole file mapping, but the last single page always remains
staying in the memory:

$./vmtouch -e test_10K
           Files: 1
     Directories: 0
   Evicted Pages: 3 (12K)
         Elapsed: 2.1e-05 seconds

$./vmtouch test_10K
           Files: 1
     Directories: 0
  Resident Pages: 1/3  4K/12K  33.3%
         Elapsed: 5.5e-05 seconds

However when we test with an older kernel, say 3.10, this problem is
gone.  So we wonder if this is a regression:

$./vmtouch -e test_10K
           Files: 1
     Directories: 0
   Evicted Pages: 3 (12K)
         Elapsed: 8.2e-05 seconds

$./vmtouch test_10K
           Files: 1
     Directories: 0
  Resident Pages: 0/3  0/12K  0%  <-- partial page also discarded
         Elapsed: 5e-05 seconds

After digging a little bit into this problem, we find it seems not a
regression.  Not discarding partial page is likely to be on purpose
according to commit 441c228f ("mm: fadvise: document the
fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED) behaviour for partial pages") written by Mel
Gorman.  He explained why partial pages should be preserved instead of
being discarded when using fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED).

However, the interesting part is that the actual code did NOT work as
the same as it was described, the partial page was still discarded
anyway, due to a calculation mistake of `end_index' passed to
invalidate_mapping_pages().  This mistake has not been fixed until
recently, that's why we fail to reproduce our problem in old kernels.
The fix is done in commit 18aba41c ("mm/fadvise.c: do not discard
partial pages with POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED") by Oleg Drokin.

Back to the original testing, our problem becomes that there is a
special case that, if the page-unaligned `endbyte' is also the end of
file, it is not necessary at all to preserve the last partial page, as
we all know no one else will use the rest of it.  It should be safe
enough if we just discard the whole page.  So we add an EOF check in
this patch.

We also find a poosbile real world issue in mainline kernel.  Assume
such scenario: A userspace backup application want to backup a huge
amount of small files (<4k) at once, the developer might (I guess) want
to use fadvise(FADV_DONTNEED) to save memory.  However, FADV_DONTNEED
won't really happen since the only page mapped is a partial page, and
kernel will preserve it.  Our patch also fixes this problem, since we
know the endbyte is EOF, so we discard it.

Here is a simple reproducer to reproduce and verify each scenario we
described above:

  	memset(strbuf, 42, filesize);
  	write(fd, strbuf, filesize);
  	free(strbuf);
  	fsync(fd);

  	len = (filesize + pagesize - 1) / pagesize;
  	printf("length of pages: %d\n", len);

  	addr = mmap(NULL, filesize, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
  	if (addr == MAP_FAILED)
  		return -1;

  	ret = posix_fadvise(fd, 0, filesize, POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED);
  	if (ret < 0)
  		return -1;

  	vec = malloc(len);
  	ret = mincore(addr, filesize, (void *)vec);
  	if (ret < 0)
  		return -1;

  	for (i = 0; i < len; i++)
  		printf("pages[%d]: %x\n", i, vec[i] & 0x1);

  	free(vec);

Minchan Kim asked the following question -- what locks protects
address_space destroying when race happens between inode trauncation and
__isolate_lru_page? Jan Kara clarified by describing the race as follows

CPU1                                            CPU2

truncate(inode)                                 __isolate_lru_page()
  ...
  truncate_inode_page(mapping, page);
    delete_from_page_cache(page)
      spin_lock_irqsave(&mapping->tree_lock, flags);
        __delete_from_page_cache(page, NULL)
          page_cache_tree_delete(..)
            ...                                   mapping = page_mapping(page);
            page->mapping = NULL;
            ...
      spin_unlock_irqrestore(&mapping->tree_lock, flags);
      page_cache_free_page(mapping, page)
        put_page(page)
          if (put_page_testzero(page)) -> false
- inode now has no pages and can be freed including embedded address_space

                                                  if (mapping && !mapping->a_ops->migratepage)
- we've dereferenced mapping which is potentially already free.

The race is theoretically possible but unlikely.  Before the
delete_from_page_cache, truncate_cleanup_page is called so the page is
likely to be !PageDirty or PageWriteback which gets skipped by the only
caller that checks the mappping in __isolate_lru_page.  Even if the race
occurs, a substantial amount of work has to happen during a tiny window
with no preemption but it could potentially be done using a virtual
machine to artifically slow one CPU or halt it during the critical
window.

This patch should eliminate the race with truncation by try-locking the
page before derefencing mapping and aborting if the lock was not
acquired.  There was a suggestion from Huang Ying to use RCU as a
side-effect to prevent mapping being freed.  However, I do not like the
solution as it's an unconventional means of preserving a mapping and
it's not a context where rcu_read_lock is obviously protecting rcu data.

Nothing actually calls userfaultfd_file_create() besides the
userfaultfd() system call itself.  So simplify things by folding it into
the system call and using anon_inode_getfd() instead of
anon_inode_getfile().  Do the same in resolve_userfault_fork() as well.

This removes over 50 lines with no change in functionality.

Implements memfd sealing, similar to shmem:
 - WRITE: deny fallocate(PUNCH_HOLE). mmap() write is denied in
   memfd_add_seals(). write() doesn't exist for hugetlbfs.
 - SHRINK: added similar check as shmem_setattr()
 - GROW: added similar check as shmem_setattr() & shmem_fallocate()

Except write() operation that doesn't exist with hugetlbfs, that should
make sealing as close as it can be to shmem support.

Patch series "memfd: add sealing to hugetlb-backed memory", v3.

Recently, Mike Kravetz added hugetlbfs support to memfd.  However, he
didn't add sealing support.  One of the reasons to use memfd is to have
shared memory sealing when doing IPC or sharing memory with another
process with some extra safety.  qemu uses shared memory & hugetables
with vhost-user (used by dpdk), so it is reasonable to use memfd now
instead for convenience and security reasons.

This patch (of 9):

The functions are called through shmem_fcntl() only.  And no danger in
removing the EXPORTs as the routines only work with shmem file structs.

Neither of these values get even close to 256; compound_dtor is
currently at a maximum of 3, and compound_order can't be over 64.  No
machine has inefficient access to bytes since EV5, and while those are
still supported, we don't optimise for them any more.  This does not
shrink struct page, but it removes an ifdef and frees up 2-6 bytes for
future use.

The "third double word block" isn't on 32-bit systems.  The layout looks
like this:

	unsigned long flags;
	struct address_space *mapping
	pgoff_t index;
	atomic_t _mapcount;
	atomic_t _refcount;

which is 32 bytes on 64-bit, but 20 bytes on 32-bit.  Nobody is trying to
use the fact that it's double-word aligned today, so just remove the
misleading claims.

I found the struct { union { struct { union { struct { } } } } } layout
rather confusing.  Fortunately, there is an easier way to write this.

The innermost union is of four things which are the size of an int, so
the ones which are used by slab/slob/slub can be pulled up two levels to
be in the outermost union with 'counters'.  That leaves us with struct {
union { struct { atomic_t; atomic_t; } } } which has the same layout,
but is easier to read.

Patch series "Restructure struct page", v2.

This series does not attempt any grand restructuring.  Instead, it cures
the worst of the indentitis, fixes the documentation and reduces the
ifdeffery.  The only layout change is compound_dtor and compound_order

This patch (of 8):

comment, define _struct_page_alignment up at the top where it fits
nicely with the existing comment.

Commit 4d4bbd85 ("mm, oom_reaper: skip mm structs with mmu
notifiers") prevented the oom reaper from unmapping private anonymous
memory with the oom reaper when the oom victim mm had mmu notifiers
registered.

The rationale is that doing mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_{start,end}()
around the unmap_page_range(), which is needed, can block and the oom
killer will stall forever waiting for the victim to exit, which may not
be possible without reaping.

That concern is real, but only true for mmu notifiers that have
blockable invalidate_range_{start,end}() callbacks.  This patch adds a
"flags" field to mmu notifier ops that can set a bit to indicate that
these callbacks do not block.

The implementation is steered toward an expensive slowpath, such as
after the oom reaper has grabbed mm->mmap_sem of a still alive oom
victim.

In the current design, khugepaged needs to acquire mmap_sem before
scanning an mm.  But in some corner cases, khugepaged may scan a process
which is modifying its memory mapping, so khugepaged blocks in
uninterruptible state.  But the process might hold the mmap_sem for a
long time when modifying a huge memory space and it may trigger the
below khugepaged hung issue:

  INFO: task khugepaged:270 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
  Tainted: G E 4.9.65-006.ali3000.alios7.x86_64 #1

So it sounds pointless to just block khugepaged waiting for the
semaphore so replace down_read() with down_read_trylock() to move to
scan the next mm quickly instead of just blocking on the semaphore so
that other processes can get more chances to install THP.  Then
khugepaged can come back to scan the skipped mm when it has finished the
current round full_scan.

And it appears that the change can improve khugepaged efficiency a
little bit.

Instead of marking the pmd ready for split, invalidate the pmd.  This
should take care of powerpc requirement.  Only side effect is that we
mark the pmd invalid early.  This can result in us blocking access to
the page a bit longer if we race against a thp split.

Use the modifed pmdp_invalidate() that returns the previous value of pmd
to transfer dirty and accessed bits.
