The fair zone allocation policy round-robins allocations between zones
within a node to avoid age inversion problems during reclaim.  If the
first allocation fails, the batch counts are reset and a second attempt
made before entering the slow path.

One assumption made with this scheme is that batches expire at roughly
the same time and the resets each time are justified.  This assumption
does not hold when zones reach their low watermark as the batches will
be consumed at uneven rates.  Allocation failure due to watermark
depletion result in additional zonelist scans for the reset and another
watermark check before hitting the slowpath.

On UMA, the benefit is negligible -- around 0.25%.  On 4-socket NUMA
machine it's variable due to the variability of measuring overhead with
the vmstat changes.  The system CPU overhead comparison looks like

However it is worth noting that the overall benchmark still completed
faster and intuitively it makes sense to take as few passes as possible
through the zonelists.

The purpose of numa_zonelist_order=zone is to preserve lower zones for
use with 32-bit devices.  If locality is preferred then the
numa_zonelist_order=node policy should be used.

Unfortunately, the fair zone allocation policy overrides this by
skipping zones on remote nodes until the lower one is found.  While this
makes sense from a page aging and performance perspective, it breaks the
expected zonelist policy.  This patch restores the expected behaviour
for zone-list ordering.

When kswapd is awake reclaiming, the per-cpu stat thresholds are lowered
to get more accurate counts to avoid breaching watermarks.  This
threshold update iterates over all possible CPUs which is unnecessary.
Only online CPUs need to be updated.  If a new CPU is onlined,
refresh_zone_stat_thresholds() will set the thresholds correctly.

zone->pages_scanned is a write-intensive cache line during page reclaim
and it's also updated during page free.  Move the counter into vmstat to
take advantage of the per-cpu updates and do not update it in the free
paths unless necessary.

On a small UMA machine running tiobench the difference is marginal.  On
a 4-node machine the overhead is more noticable.  Note that automatic
NUMA balancing was disabled for this test as otherwise the system CPU
overhead is unpredictable.

The arrangement of struct zone has changed over time and now it has
reached the point where there is some inappropriate sharing going on.
On x86-64 for example

o The zone->node field is shared with the zone lock and zone->node is
  accessed frequently from the page allocator due to the fair zone
  allocation policy.

o span_seqlock is almost never used by shares a line with free_area

o Some zone statistics share a cache line with the LRU lock so
  reclaim-intensive and allocator-intensive workloads can bounce the cache
  line on a stat update

This patch rearranges struct zone to put read-only and read-mostly
fields together and then splits the page allocator intensive fields, the
zone statistics and the page reclaim intensive fields into their own
cache lines.  Note that the type of lowmem_reserve changes due to the
watermark calculations being signed and avoiding a signed/unsigned
conversion there.

On the test configuration I used the overall size of struct zone shrunk
by one cache line.  On smaller machines, this is not likely to be
noticable.  However, on a 4-node NUMA machine running tiobench the
system CPU overhead is reduced by this patch.

This was formerly the series "Improve sequential read throughput" which
noted some major differences in performance of tiobench since 3.0.
While there are a number of factors, two that dominated were the
introduction of the fair zone allocation policy and changes to CFQ.

The behaviour of fair zone allocation policy makes more sense than
tiobench as a benchmark and CFQ defaults were not changed due to
insufficient benchmarking.

This series is what's left.  It's one functional fix to the fair zone
allocation policy when used on NUMA machines and a reduction of overhead
in general.  tiobench was used for the comparison despite its flaws as
an IO benchmark as in this case we are primarily interested in the
overhead of page allocator and page reclaim activity.

On UMA, it makes little difference to overhead

When limiting memory by mem= and ACPI DSDT table has PNP0C80,
firmware_map_entrys of same memory range are allocated and memmap X
sysfses which have same memory range are created as follows:

  # cat /sys/firmware/memmap/0/*
  0x407ffffffff
  0x40000000000
  System RAM
  # cat /sys/firmware/memmap/33/*

  System RAM
  # cat /sys/firmware/memmap/35/*
  0x407ffffffff
  0x40000000000
  System RAM

In this case, when hot-removing memory, kernel panic occurs, showing
following call trace:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00000001003e000b

    system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

The problem occurs as follows:

When calling e820_reserve_resources(), firmware_map_entrys of all e820
memory map are allocated.  And all firmware_map_entrys is added
map_entries list as follows:

map_entries
 -> +--- entry A --------+ -> ...
    | start 0x407ffffffff|
    | end   0x40000000000|
    | type  System RAM   |
    +--------------------+

After that, if ACPI DSDT table has PNP0C80 and the memory range is
limited by mem=, the PNP0C80 is hot-added.  Then firmware_map_entry of
PNP0C80 is allocated and added map_entries list as follows:

map_entries
 -> +--- entry A --------+ -> ... -> +--- entry B --------+
    | start 0x407ffffffff|           | start 0x407ffffffff|
    | end   0x40000000000|           | end   0x40000000000|
    | type  System RAM   |           | type  System RAM   |
    +--------------------+           +--------------------+

Then memmap 0 sysfs for entry B is created.

After that, firmware_memmap_init() creates memmap sysfses of all
firmware_map_entrys in map_entries list.  As a result, memmap 33 sysfs
for entry A and memmap 35 sysfs for entry B are created.  But kobject of
entry B has been used by memmap 0 sysfs.  So when creating memmap 35
sysfs, the kobject is broken.

If hot-removing memory, memmap 0 sysfs is destroyed and kobject of
memmap 0 sysfs is freed.  But the kobject can be accessed via memmap 35
sysfs.  So when open memmap 35 sysfs, kernel panic occurs.

This patch checks whether there is firmware_map_entry of same memory
range in map_entries list and don't allocate firmware_map_entry of same
memroy range.

Currently map_vm_area() takes (struct page *** pages) as third argument,
and after mapping, it moves (*pages) to point to (*pages +
nr_mappped_pages).

It looks like this kind of increment is useless to its caller these
days.  The callers don't care about the increments and actually they're
trying to avoid this by passing another copy to map_vm_area().

The caller can always guarantee all the pages can be mapped into vm_area
as specified in first argument and the caller only cares about whether
map_vm_area() fails or not.

This patch cleans up the pointer movement in map_vm_area() and updates
its callers accordingly.

Three different interfaces alter the maximum number of hugepages for an

 - /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages for global number of hugepages of the default
   hstate,

 - /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-X/nr_hugepages for global number of
   hugepages for a specific hstate, and

 - /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-X/nr_hugepages/mempolicy for number of
   hugepages for a specific hstate over the set of allowed nodes.

Generalize the code so that a single function handles all of these
writes instead of duplicating the code in two different functions.

.text by about half a percent since set_max_huge_pages() can be inlined.

When a hwpoison page is locked it could change state due to parallel
modifications.  The original compound page can be torn down and then
this 4k page becomes part of a differently-size compound page is is a
standalone regular page.

Check after the lock if the page is still the same compound page.

We could go back, grab the new head page and try again but it should be
quite rare, so I thought this was safest.  A retry loop would be more
difficult to test and may have more side effects.

The hwpoison code by design only tries to handle cases that are
reasonably common in workloads, as visible in page-flags.

I'm not really that concerned about handling this (likely rare case),

Historically, we exported shared pages to userspace via sysinfo(2)
sharedram and /proc/meminfo's "MemShared" fields.  With the advent of
tmpfs, from kernel v2.4 onward, that old way for accounting shared mem
was deemed inaccurate and we started to export a hard-coded 0 for
sysinfo.sharedram.  Later on, during the 2.6 timeframe, "MemShared" got
re-introduced to /proc/meminfo re-branded as "Shmem", but we're still
reporting sysinfo.sharedmem as that old hard-coded zero, which makes the
"shared memory" report inconsistent across interfaces.

This patch leverages the addition of explicit accounting for pages used
by shmem/tmpfs -- "4b02108a mm: oom analysis: add shmem vmstat" -- in
order to make the users of sysinfo(2) and si_meminfo*() friends aware of
that vmstat entry and make them report it consistently across the
interfaces, as well to make sysinfo(2) returned data consistent with our
current API documentation states.

This patch removes shmem_unacct_size() from error path if the inode was
already there.

tmp_mask in the __vmalloc_area_node() iteration never changes so it can
be moved into function scope and marked with const.  This causes the
movl and orl to only be done once per call rather than area->nr_pages
times.

nested_gfp can also be marked const.

The mm_migrate_pages trace event reports a reason for the migration,
typically as a symbolic string.  The exception is the reason
MR_NUMA_MISPLACED for which it just displays the numeric value:
mm_migrate_pages: nr_succeeded=1 nr_failed=0 mode=MIGRATE_ASYNC
reason=0x5

This patch makes the output consistent by introducing a string value for
MR_NUMA_MISPLACED.  The event is then reported as: mm_migrate_pages:
nr_succeeded=1 nr_failed=0 mode=MIGRATE_ASYNC reason=numa_misplaced

Direct reclaim currently calls shrink_zones() to reclaim all members of
a zonelist, and if that wasn't successful it does another pass through
the same zonelist to check overall reclaimability.

Just check reclaimability in shrink_zones() directly and propagate the
result through the return value.  Then remove all_unreclaimable().

Page reclaim for a higher-order page runs until compaction is ready,
then aborts and signals this situation through the return value of
shrink_zones().  This is an oddly specific signal to encode in the
return value of shrink_zones(), though, and can be quite confusing.

Introduce sc->compaction_ready and signal the compactability of the
zones out-of-band to free up the return value of shrink_zones() for
actual zone reclaimability.

shrink_zones() has a special branch to skip the all_unreclaimable()
check during hibernation, because a frozen kswapd can't mark a zone
unreclaimable.

But ever since commit 6e543d57 ("mm: vmscan: fix
do_try_to_free_pages() livelock"), determining a zone to be
unreclaimable is done by directly looking at its scan history and no
longer relies on kswapd setting the per-zone flag.

Remove this branch and let shrink_zones() check the reclaimability of
the target zones regardless of hibernation state.

In original code, zone_movable_is_highmem() assumes ZONE_MOVABLE not
highmem if CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is not set.  In online_pages,
it extracts pages from the previous zone before ZONE_MOVABLE.  Which is
logically inconsistent:

If HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is turned off but HIGHMEM is on,
zone_movable_is_highmem() makes movable zone not highmem, but
online_pages() extracts pages from ZONE_HIGHMEM.

This inconsistency doesn't cause real problem currently, because all
architectures support online_pages also have HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP.
However, fixing it makes code clear, and also helps futher coding.

There is a write barrier between setting pc->mem_cgroup and
PageCgroupUsed, which was added to allow LRU operations to lookup the
memcg LRU list of a page without acquiring the page_cgroup lock.

But ever since commit 38c5d72f ("memcg: simplify LRU handling by new
rule"), pages are ensured to be off-LRU while charging, so nobody else
is changing LRU state while pc->mem_cgroup is being written, and there
are no read barriers anymore.

Remove the unnecessary write barrier.

Due to an old optimization to keep expensive res_counter changes at a
minimum, the root_mem_cgroup res_counter is never charged; there is no
limit at that level anyway, and any statistics can be generated on
demand by summing up the counters of all other cgroups.

However, with per-cpu charge caches, res_counter operations do not even
show up in profiles anymore, so this optimization is no longer
necessary.

Remove it to simplify the code.

When mem_cgroup_try_charge() returns -EINTR, it bypassed the charge to
the root memcg.  But move precharging does not catch this and treats
this case as if no charge had happened, thus leaking a charge against
root.  Because of an old optimization, the root memcg's res_counter is
not actually charged right now, but it's still an imbalance and
subsequent patches will charge the root memcg again.

Catch those bypasses to the root memcg and properly cancel them before
giving up the move.
