This is the first stage of struct mem_cgroup_zone removal. Further patches replace struct mem_cgroup_zone with a pointer to struct lruvec.

After patch "mm: forbid lumpy-reclaim in shrink_active_list()" we can completely remove anon/file and active/inactive lru type filters from __isolate_lru_page(), because isolation for 0-order reclaim always isolates pages from right lru list. And pages-isolation for lumpy shrink_inactive_list() or memory-compaction anyway allowed to isolate pages from all evictable lru lists.

With mem_cgroup_disabled() now explicit, it becomes clear that the zone_reclaim_stat structure actually belongs in lruvec, per-zone when memcg is disabled but per-memcg per-zone when it's enabled. We can delete mem_cgroup_get_reclaim_stat(), and change update_page_reclaim_stat() to update just the one set of stats, the one which get_scan_count() will actually use.

This patch changes memcg's behavior at task_move(). At task_move(), the kernel scans a task's page table and move the changes for mapped pages from source cgroup to target cgroup. There has been a bug at handling shared anonymous pages for a long time. Before patch: - The spec says 'shared anonymous pages are not moved.' - The implementation was 'shared anonymoys pages may be moved'. If page_mapcount <=2, shared anonymous pages's charge were moved. After patch: - The spec says 'all anonymous pages are moved'. - The implementation is 'all anonymous pages are moved'. Considering usage of memcg, this will not affect user's experience. 'shared anonymous' pages only exists between a tree of processes which don't do exec(). Moving one of process without exec() seems not sane. For example, libcgroup will not be affected by this change. (Anyway, no one noticed the implementation for a long time...) Below is a discussion log: - current spec/implementation are complex - Now, shared file caches are moved - It adds unclear check as page_mapcount(). To do correct check, we should check swap users, etc. - No one notice this implementation behavior. So, no one get benefit from the design. - In general, once task is moved to a cgroup for running, it will not be moved.... - Finally, we have control knob as memory.move_charge_at_immigrate. Here is a patch to allow moving shared pages, completely. This makes memcg simpler and fix current broken code.

Transparent huge pages can change page->flags (PG_compound_lock) without taking Slab lock. Since THP can not break slab pages we can safely access compound page without taking compound lock. Specifically this patch fixes a race between compound_unlock() and slab functions which perform page-flags updates. This can occur when get_page()/put_page() is called on a page from slab.

Only archs with 64bit large pmd_t and 32bit unsigned long should be affected. With THP enabled the barrier() in pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() would partly hide the bug when the pmd transition from none to stable, by forcing a re-read of the *pmd in pmd_offset_map_lock, but when THP is enabled a new set of problem arises by the fact could then transition freely in any of the none, pmd_trans_huge or pmd_trans_stable states. So making the barrier in pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() unconditional isn't good idea and it would be a flakey solution. This should be fully fixed by introducing a pmd_read_atomic that reads the pmd in order with THP disabled, or by reading the pmd atomically with cmpxchg8b with THP enabled. Luckily this new race condition only triggers in the places that must already be covered by pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() so the fix is localized there but this bug is not related to THP. NOTE: this can trigger on x86 32bit systems with PAE enabled with more than 4G of ram, otherwise the high part of the pmd will never risk to be truncated because it would be zero at all times, in turn so hiding the SMP race.

The oom_score_adj scale ranges from -1000 to 1000 and represents the proportion of memory available to the process at allocation time. This means an oom_score_adj value of 300, for example, will bias a process as though it was using an extra 30.0% of available memory and a value of -350 will discount 35.0% of available memory from its usage. The oom killer badness heuristic also uses this scale to report the oom score for each eligible process in determining the "best" process to kill. Thus, it can only differentiate each process's memory usage by 0.1% of system RAM. On large systems, this can end up being a large amount of memory: 256MB on 256GB systems, for example. This can be fixed by having the badness heuristic to use the actual memory usage in scoring threads and then normalizing it to the oom_score_adj scale for userspace. This results in better comparison between eligible threads for kill and no change from the userspace perspective.

The GMA500 GPU driver uses GEM shmem objects, but with a new twist: the backing RAM has to be below 4GB. Not a problem while the boards supported only 4GB: but now Intel's D2700MUD boards support 8GB, and their GMA3600 is managed by the GMA500 driver. shmem/tmpfs has never pretended to support hardware restrictions on the backing memory, but it might have appeared to do so before v3.1, and even now it works fine until a page is swapped out then back in. When read_cache_page_gfp() supplied a freshly allocated page for copy, that compensated for whatever choice might have been made by earlier swapin readahead; but swapoff was likely to destroy the illusion. We'd like to continue to support GMA500, so now add a new shmem_should_replace_page() check on the zone when about to move a page from swapcache to filecache (in swapin and swapoff cases), with shmem_replace_page() to allocate and substitute a suitable page (given gma500/gem.c's mapping_set_gfp_mask GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_DMA32). This does involve a minor extension to mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache() (the page may or may not have already been charged); and I've removed a comment and call to mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page(), which in fact is always a no-op while PageSwapCache. Also removed optimization of an unlikely path in shmem_getpage_gfp(), now that we need to check PageSwapCache more carefully (a racing caller might already have made the copy). And at one point shmem_unuse_inode() needs to use the hitherto private page_swapcount(), to guard against racing with inode eviction. It would make sense to extend shmem_should_replace_page(), to cover cpuset and NUMA mempolicy restrictions too, but set that aside for now: needs a cleanup of shmem mempolicy handling, and more testing, and ought to handle swap faults in do_swap_page() as well as shmem.

When MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE pages are freed from MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE type pageblock (and some MIGRATE_MOVABLE pages are left in it) waiting until an allocation takes ownership of the block may take too long. The type of the pageblock remains unchanged so the pageblock cannot be used as a migration target during compaction. Fix it by: * Adding enum compact_mode (COMPACT_ASYNC_[MOVABLE,UNMOVABLE], and COMPACT_SYNC) and then converting sync field in struct compact_control to use it. * Adding nr_pageblocks_skipped field to struct compact_control and tracking how many destination pageblocks were of MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE type. If COMPACT_ASYNC_MOVABLE mode compaction ran fully in try_to_compact_pages() (COMPACT_COMPLETE) it implies that there is not a suitable page for allocation. In this case then check how if there were enough MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE pageblocks to try a second pass in COMPACT_ASYNC_UNMOVABLE mode. * Scanning the MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE pageblocks (during COMPACT_SYNC and COMPACT_ASYNC_UNMOVABLE compaction modes) and building a count based on finding PageBuddy pages, page_count(page) == 0 or PageLRU pages. If all pages within the MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE pageblock are in one of those three sets change the whole pageblock type to MIGRATE_MOVABLE. My particular test case (on a ARM EXYNOS4 device with 512 MiB, which means 131072 standard 4KiB pages in 'Normal' zone) is to: - allocate 120000 pages for kernel's usage - free every second page (60000 pages) of memory just allocated - allocate and use 60000 pages from user space - free remaining 60000 pages of kernel memory (now we have fragmented memory occupied mostly by user space pages) - try to allocate 100 order-9 (2048 KiB) pages for kernel's usage The results: - with compaction disabled I get 11 successful allocations - with compaction enabled - 14 successful allocations - with this patch I'm able to get all 100 successful allocations NOTE: If we can make kswapd aware of order-0 request during compaction, we can enhance kswapd with changing mode to COMPACT_ASYNC_FULL (COMPACT_ASYNC_MOVABLE + COMPACT_ASYNC_UNMOVABLE).

The rmap walker checking page table references has historically ignored references from VMAs that were not part of the memcg that was being reclaimed during memcg hard limit reclaim. When transitioning global reclaim to memcg hierarchy reclaim, I missed that bit and now references from outside a memcg are ignored even during global reclaim. Reverting back to traditional behaviour - count all references during global reclaim and only mind references of the memcg being reclaimed during limit reclaim would be one option. However, the more generic idea is to ignore references exactly then when they are outside the hierarchy that is currently under reclaim; because only then will their reclamation be of any use to help the pressure situation. It makes no sense to ignore references from a sibling memcg and then evict a page that will be immediately refaulted by that sibling which contributes to the same usage of the common ancestor under reclaim. The solution: make the rmap walker ignore references from VMAs that are not part of the hierarchy that is being reclaimed. Flat limit reclaim will stay the same, hierarchical limit reclaim will mind the references only to pages that the hierarchy owns. Global reclaim, since it reclaims from all memcgs, will be fixed to regard all references.

This patch stops reclaim/compaction entering sync reclaim as this was only intended for lumpy reclaim and an oversight. Page migration has its own logic for stalling on writeback pages if necessary and memory compaction is already using it. Waiting on page writeback is bad for a number of reasons but the primary one is that waiting on writeback to a slow device like USB can take a considerable length of time. Page reclaim instead uses wait_iff_congested() to throttle if too many dirty pages are being scanned.

This series removes lumpy reclaim and some stalling logic that was unintentionally being used by memory compaction. The end result is that stalling on dirty pages during page reclaim now depends on wait_iff_congested().

I expected this would happen for kswapd and impair allocation success rates (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/25/166) but I did not anticipate this much a difference: 80% less scanning, 37% less reclaim by kswapd In comparison, reclaim/compaction is not aggressive and gives up easily which is the intended behaviour. hugetlbfs uses __GFP_REPEAT and would be much more aggressive about reclaim/compaction than THP allocations are. The stress test above is allocating like neither THP or hugetlbfs but is much closer to THP. Mainline is now impaired in terms of high order allocation under heavy load although I do not know to what degree as I did not test with __GFP_REPEAT. Keep this in mind for bugs related to hugepage pool resizing, THP allocation and high order atomic allocation failures from network devices. In terms of congestion throttling, I see the following for this test FTrace Reclaim Statistics: congestion_wait Direct number congest waited 3 0 0 0 Direct time congest waited 0ms 0ms 0ms 0ms Direct full congest waited 0 0 0 0 Direct number conditional waited 957 512 1081 1075 Direct time conditional waited 0ms 0ms 0ms 0ms Direct full conditional waited 0 0 0 0 KSwapd number congest waited 36 4 3 5 KSwapd time congest waited 3148ms 400ms 300ms 500ms KSwapd full congest waited 30 4 3 5 KSwapd number conditional waited 88514 197 332 542 KSwapd time conditional waited 4980ms 0ms 0ms 0ms KSwapd full conditional waited 49 0 0 0 The "conditional waited" times are the most interesting as this is directly impacted by the number of dirty pages encountered during scan. As lumpy reclaim is no longer scanning contiguous ranges, it is finding fewer dirty pages. This brings wait times from about 5 seconds to 0. kswapd itself is still calling congestion_wait() so it'll still stall but it's a lot less. In terms of the type of IO we were doing, I see this FTrace Reclaim Statistics: mm_vmscan_writepage Direct writes anon sync 0 0 0 0 Direct writes anon async 0 0 0 0 Direct writes file sync 0 0 0 0 Direct writes file async 0 0 0 0 Direct writes mixed sync 0 0 0 0 Direct writes mixed async 0 0 0 0 KSwapd writes anon sync 0 0 0 0 KSwapd writes anon async 91682 0 0 0 KSwapd writes file sync 0 0 0 0 KSwapd writes file async 822629 0 0 0 KSwapd writes mixed sync 0 0 0 0 KSwapd writes mixed async 0 0 0 0 In 3.2, kswapd was doing a bunch of async writes of pages but reclaim/compaction was never reaching a point where it was doing sync IO. This does not guarantee that reclaim/compaction was not calling wait_on_page_writeback() but I would consider it unlikely. It indicates that merging patches 2 and 3 to stop reclaim/compaction calling wait_on_page_writeback() should be safe. This patch: Lumpy reclaim had a purpose but in the mind of some, it was to kick the system so hard it trashed. For others the purpose was to complicate vmscan.c. Over time it was giving softer shoes and a nicer attitude but memory compaction needs to step up and replace it so this patch sends lumpy reclaim to the farm. The tracepoint format changes for isolating LRU pages with this patch applied. Furthermore reclaim/compaction can no longer queue dirty pages in pageout() if the underlying BDI is congested. Lumpy reclaim used this logic and reclaim/compaction was using it in error.

The swap token code no longer fits in with the current VM model. It does not play well with cgroups or the better NUMA placement code in development, since we have only one swap token globally. It also has the potential to mess with scalability of the system, by increasing the number of non-reclaimable pages on the active and inactive anon LRU lists. Last but not least, the swap token code has been broken for a year without complaints, as reported by Konstantin Khlebnikov. This suggests we no longer have much use for it. The days of sub-1G memory systems with heavy use of swap are over. If we ever need thrashing reducing code in the future, we will have to implement something that does scale.

This changes the interfaces in <asm/word-at-a-time.h> to be a bit more complicated, but a lot more generic. In particular, it allows us to really do the operations efficiently on both little-endian and big-endian machines, pretty much regardless of machine details. For example, if you can rely on a fast population count instruction on your architecture, this will allow you to make your optimized <asm/word-at-a-time.h> file with that. NOTE! The "generic" version in include/asm-generic/word-at-a-time.h is not truly generic, it actually only works on big-endian. Why? Because on little-endian the generic algorithms are wasteful, since you can inevitably do better. The x86 implementation is an example of that. (The only truly non-generic part of the asm-generic implementation is the "find_zero()" function, and you could make a little-endian version of it. And if the Kbuild infrastructure allowed us to pick a particular header file, that would be lovely) The <asm/word-at-a-time.h> functions are as follows: - WORD_AT_A_TIME_CONSTANTS: specific constants that the algorithm uses. - has_zero(): take a word, and determine if it has a zero byte in it. It gets the word, the pointer to the constant pool, and a pointer to an intermediate "data" field it can set. This is the "quick-and-dirty" zero tester: it's what is run inside the hot loops. - "prep_zero_mask()": take the word, the data that has_zero() produced, and the constant pool, and generate an *exact* mask of which byte had the first zero. This is run directly *outside* the loop, and allows the "has_zero()" function to answer the "is there a zero byte" question without necessarily getting exactly *which* byte is the first one to contain a zero. If you do multiple byte lookups concurrently (eg "hash_name()", which looks for both NUL and '/' bytes), after you've done the prep_zero_mask() phase, the result of those can be or'ed together to get the "either or" case. - The result from "prep_zero_mask()" can then be fed into "find_zero()" (to find the byte offset of the first byte that was zero) or into "zero_bytemask()" (to find the bytemask of the bytes preceding the zero byte). The existence of zero_bytemask() is optional, and is not necessary for the normal string routines. But dentry name hashing needs it, so if you enable DENTRY_WORD_AT_A_TIME you need to expose it. This changes the generic strncpy_from_user() function and the dentry hashing functions to use these modified word-at-a-time interfaces. This gets us back to the optimized state of the x86 strncpy that we lost in the previous commit when moving over to the generic version. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Also ensure that if the sanity check in nfs4_check_cl_exchange_flags fails, then we must not change the nfs_client fields.

The tile support for multiple-size huge pages requires tagging the hugetlb PTE with a "super" bit for PTEs that are multiples of the basic size of a pagetable span. To set that bit properly we need to tweak the PTe in make_huge_pte() based on the vma. This change provides the API for a subsequent tile-specific change to use.

The change adds some infrastructure for managing tile pmd's more generally, using pte_pmd() and pmd_pte() methods to translate pmd values to and from ptes, since on TILEPro a pmd is really just a nested structure holding a pgd (aka pte). Several existing pmd methods are moved into this framework, and a whole raft of additional pmd accessors are defined that are used by the transparent hugepage framework. The tile PTE now has a "client2" bit. The bit is used to indicate a transparent huge page is in the process of being split into subpages. This change also fixes a generic bug where the return value of the generic pmdp_splitting_flush() was incorrect. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

Compared to Rob Clark's RFC I've ditched the prepare/finish hooks and corresponding ioctls on the dma_buf file. The major reason for that is that many people seem to be under the impression that this is also for synchronization with outstanding asynchronous processsing. I'm pretty massively opposed to this because: - It boils down reinventing a new rather general-purpose userspace synchronization interface. If we look at things like futexes, this is hard to get right. - Furthermore a lot of kernel code has to interact with this synchronization primitive. This smells a look like the dri1 hw_lock, a horror show I prefer not to reinvent. - Even more fun is that multiple different subsystems would interact here, so we have plenty of opportunities to create funny deadlock scenarios. I think synchronization is a wholesale different problem from data sharing and should be tackled as an orthogonal problem. Now we could demand that prepare/finish may only ensure cache coherency (as Rob intended), but that runs up into the next problem: We not only need mmap support to facilitate sw-only processing nodes in a pipeline (without jumping through hoops by importing the dma_buf into some sw-access only importer), which allows for a nicer ION->dma-buf upgrade path for existing Android userspace. We also need mmap support for existing importing subsystems to support existing userspace libraries. And a loot of these subsystems are expected to export coherent userspace mappings. So prepare/finish can only ever be optional and the exporter /needs/ to support coherent mappings. Given that mmap access is always somewhat fallback-y in nature I've decided to drop this optimization, instead of just making it optional. If we demonstrate a clear need for this, supported by benchmark results, we can always add it in again later as an optional extension. Other differences compared to Rob's RFC is the above mentioned support for mapping a dma-buf through facilities provided by the importer. Which results in mmap support no longer being optional. Note that this dma-buf mmap patch does _not_ support every possible insanity an existing subsystem could pull of with mmap: Because it does not allow to intercept pagefaults and shoot down ptes importing subsystems can't add some magic of their own at these points (e.g. to automatically synchronize with outstanding rendering or set up some special resources). I've done a cursory read through a few mmap implementions of various subsytems and I'm hopeful that we can avoid this (and the complexity it'd bring with it). Additonally I've extended the documentation a bit to explain the hows and whys of this mmap extension. In case we ever want to add support for explicitly cache maneged userspace mmap with a prepare/finish ioctl pair, we could specify that userspace needs to mmap a different part of the dma_buf, e.g. the range starting at dma_buf->size up to dma_buf->size*2. This works because the size of a dma_buf is invariant over it's lifetime. The exporter would obviously need to fall back to coherent mappings for both ranges if a legacy clients maps the coherent range and the architecture cannot suppor conflicting caching policies. Also, this would obviously be optional and userspace needs to be able to fall back to coherent mappings. v2: - Spelling fixes from Rob Clark. - Compile fix for !DMA_BUF from Rob Clark. - Extend commit message to explain how explicitly cache managed mmap support could be added later. - Extend the documentation with implementations notes for exporters that need to manually fake coherency. v3: - dma_buf pointer initialization goof-up noticed by Rebecca Schultz Zavin.

UDP stack needs a minimum hash size value for proper operation and also uses alloc_large_system_hash() for proper NUMA distribution of its hash tables and automatic sizing depending on available system memory. On some low memory situations, udp_table_init() must ignore the alloc_large_system_hash() result and reallocs a bigger memory area. As we cannot easily free old hash table, we leak it and kmemleak can issue a warning. This patch adds a low limit parameter to alloc_large_system_hash() to solve this problem. We then specify UDP_HTABLE_SIZE_MIN for UDP/UDPLite hash table allocation.
