Occasionally, testing memcg's move_charge_at_immigrate on rc7 shows
a flurry of hundreds of warnings at kernel/res_counter.c:96, where
res_counter_uncharge_locked() does WARN_ON(counter->usage < val).

The first trace of each flurry implicates __mem_cgroup_cancel_charge()
of mc.precharge, and an audit of mc.precharge handling points to
mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range()'s THP handling in commit 12724850
("memcg: avoid THP split in task migration").

Checking !mc.precharge is good everywhere else, when a single page is to
be charged; but here the "mc.precharge -= HPAGE_PMD_NR" likely to
follow, is liable to result in underflow (a lot can change since the
precharge was estimated).

Simply check against HPAGE_PMD_NR: there's probably a better
alternative, trying precharge for more, splitting if unsuccessful; but
this one-liner is safer for now - no kernel/res_counter.c:96 warnings
seen in 26 hours.

Why is there less MemFree than there used to be?  It perturbed a test,
so I've just been bisecting linux-next, and now find the offender went
upstream yesterday.

Commit 93278814 "mm: fix division by 0 in percpu_pagelist_fraction()"
mistakenly initialized percpu_pagelist_fraction to the sysctl's minimum 8,
which leaves 1/8th of memory on percpu lists (on each cpu??); but most of
us expect it to be left unset at 0 (and it's not then used as a divisor).

Systems with 8 TBytes of memory or greater can hit a problem where only
the the first 8 TB of memory shows up.  This is due to "int i" being
smaller than "unsigned long start_aligned", causing the high bits to be
dropped.

The fix is to change `i' to unsigned long to match start_aligned
and end_aligned.

Commit 66aebce7 ("hugetlb: fix race condition in hugetlb_fault()")
added code to avoid a race condition by elevating the page refcount in
hugetlb_fault() while calling hugetlb_cow().

However, one code path in hugetlb_cow() includes an assertion that the
page count is 1, whereas it may now also have the value 2 in this path.

The consensus is that this BUG_ON has served its purpose, so rather than
extending it to cover both cases, we just remove it.

pcpu_embed_first_chunk() allocates memory for each node, copies percpu
data and frees unused portions of it before proceeding to the next
group.  This assumes that allocations for different nodes doesn't
overlap; however, depending on memory topology, the bootmem allocator
may end up allocating memory from a different node than the requested
one which may overlap with the portion freed from one of the previous
percpu areas.  This leads to percpu groups for different nodes
overlapping which is a serious bug.

This patch separates out copy & partial free from the allocation loop
such that all allocations are complete before partial frees happen.

This also fixes overlapping frees which could happen on allocation
failure path - out_free_areas path frees whole groups but the groups
could have portions freed at that point.

The comments above __alloc_bootmem_node() claim that the code will
first try the allocation using 'goal' and if that fails it will
try again but with the 'goal' requirement dropped.

Unfortunately, this is not what the code does, so fix it to do so.

This is important for nobootmem conversions to architectures such
as sparc where MAX_DMA_ADDRESS is infinity.

On such architectures all of the allocations done by generic spots,
such as the sparse-vmemmap implementation, will pass in:

	__pa(MAX_DMA_ADDRESS)

as the goal, and with the limit given as "-1" this will always fail
unless we add the appropriate fallback logic here.

Mel reports a BUG_ON(slot == NULL) in radix_tree_tag_set() on s390
3.0.13: called from __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() when page_remove_rmap()
tries to transfer dirty flag from s390 storage key to struct page and
radix_tree.

That would be because of reclaim's shrink_page_list() calling
add_to_swap() on this page at the same time: first PageSwapCache is set
(causing page_mapping(page) to appear as &swapper_space), then
page->private set, then tree_lock taken, then page inserted into
radix_tree - so there's an interval before taking the lock when the
radix_tree slot is empty.

We could fix this by moving __add_to_swap_cache()'s spin_lock_irq up
before the SetPageSwapCache.  But a better fix is simply to do what's
five years overdue: Ken Chen introduced __set_page_dirty_no_writeback()
(if !PageDirty TestSetPageDirty) for tmpfs to skip all the radix_tree
overhead, and swap is just the same - it ignores the radix_tree tag, and
does not participate in dirty page accounting, so should be using
__set_page_dirty_no_writeback() too.

s390 testing now confirms that this does indeed fix the problem.

This continues the theme started with vm_brk() and vm_munmap():
vm_mmap() does the same thing as do_mmap(), but additionally does the
required VM locking.

This uninlines (and rewrites it to be clearer) do_mmap(), which sadly
duplicates it in mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c.  But that way we don't have
to export our internal do_mmap_pgoff() function.

Some day we hopefully don't have to export do_mmap() either, if all
modular users can become the simpler vm_mmap() instead.  We're actually
very close to that already, with the notable exception of the (broken)
use in i810, and a couple of stragglers in binfmt_elf.

operations with the generic ones; unfortunately, it lost zero length
operation handling in the process making the kernel panic if somebody
tries to reserve zero length area.

There isn't much to be gained by being cranky to zero length operations
and panicking is almost the worst response.  Drop the BUG_ON() in

but it's for oldpage, and needs now to be for newpage.  Once oldpage was

"Bad page state" messages - and perhaps worse, being missed from newpage.

This reverts commit c38446cc.

Before the commit, the code makes senses to me but not after the commit.
The "nr_reclaimed" is the number of pages reclaimed by scanning through
the memcg's lru lists.  The "nr_to_reclaim" is the target value for the
whole function.  For example, we like to early break the reclaim if
reclaimed 32 pages under direct reclaim (not DEF_PRIORITY).

After the reverted commit, the target "nr_to_reclaim" is decremented each
time by "nr_reclaimed" but we still use it to compare the "nr_reclaimed".
It just doesn't make sense to me...

The race is as follows:

Suppose a multi-threaded task forks a new process (on cpu A), thus
bumping up the ref count on all the pages.  While the fork is occurring
(and thus we have marked all the PTEs as read-only), another thread in
the original process (on cpu B) tries to write to a huge page, taking an
access violation from the write-protect and calling hugetlb_cow().  Now,
suppose the fork() fails.  It will undo the COW and decrement the ref
count on the pages, so the ref count on the huge page drops back to 1.
Meanwhile hugetlb_cow() also decrements the ref count by one on the
original page, since the original address space doesn't need it any
more, having copied a new page to replace the original page.  This
leaves the ref count at zero, and when we call unlock_page(), we panic.

	fork on CPU A				fault on CPU B
	=============				==============
	...
	down_write(&parent->mmap_sem);
	down_write_nested(&child->mmap_sem);
	...
	while duplicating vmas
		if error
			break;
	...
	up_write(&child->mmap_sem);
	up_write(&parent->mmap_sem);		...
						down_read(&parent->mmap_sem);
						...
						lock_page(page);
						handle COW
						page_mapcount(old_page) == 2
						alloc and prepare new_page
	...
	handle error
	page_remove_rmap(page);
	put_page(page);
	...
						fold new_page into pte
						page_remove_rmap(page);
						put_page(page);
						...
				oops ==>	unlock_page(page);
						up_read(&parent->mmap_sem);

The solution is to take an extra reference to the page while we are
holding the lock on it.

We should use the accessor res_counter_read_u64 for that.

Although a purely cosmetic change is sometimes better delayed, to avoid
conflicting with other people's work, we are starting to have people
touching this code as well, and reproducing the open code behavior
because that's the standard =)

Replace radix_tree_gang_lookup_slot() and
radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot() in page-cache lookup functions with
brand-new radix-tree direct iterating.  This avoids the double-scanning
and pointer copying.

Iterator don't stop after nr_pages page-get fails in a row, it continue
lookup till the radix-tree end.  Thus we can safely remove these restart
conditions.

Unfortunately, old implementation didn't forbid nr_pages == 0, this corner
case does not fit into new code, so the patch adds an extra check at the
beginning.

Calculate a cpumask of CPUs with per-cpu pages in any zone and only send
an IPI requesting CPUs to drain these pages to the buddy allocator if they
actually have pages when asked to flush.

This patch saves 85%+ of IPIs asking to drain per-cpu pages in case of
severe memory pressure that leads to OOM since in these cases multiple,
possibly concurrent, allocation requests end up in the direct reclaim code
path so when the per-cpu pages end up reclaimed on first allocation
failure for most of the proceeding allocation attempts until the memory
pressure is off (possibly via the OOM killer) there are no per-cpu pages
on most CPUs (and there can easily be hundreds of them).

This also has the side effect of shortening the average latency of direct
reclaim by 1 or more order of magnitude since waiting for all the CPUs to
ACK the IPI takes a long time.

Tested by running "hackbench 400" on a 8 CPU x86 VM and observing the
difference between the number of direct reclaim attempts that end up in
drain_all_pages() and those were more then 1/2 of the online CPU had any
per-cpu page in them, using the vmstat counters introduced in the next
patch in the series and using proc/interrupts.

In the test sceanrio, this was seen to save around 3600 global
IPIs after trigerring an OOM on a concurrent workload:

$ cat /proc/vmstat | tail -n 2
pcp_global_drain 0
pcp_global_ipi_saved 0

$ cat /proc/interrupts | grep CAL
CAL:          1          2          1          2
          2          2          2          2   Function call interrupts

$ hackbench 400
[OOM messages snipped]

$ cat /proc/vmstat | tail -n 2
pcp_global_drain 3647
pcp_global_ipi_saved 3642

$ cat /proc/interrupts | grep CAL
CAL:          6         13          6          3
          3          3         1 2          7   Function call interrupts

Please note that if the global drain is removed from the direct reclaim
path as a patch from Mel Gorman currently suggests this should be replaced
with an on_each_cpu_cond invocation.

flush_all() is called for each kmem_cache_destroy().  So every cache being
destroyed dynamically ends up sending an IPI to each CPU in the system,
regardless if the cache has ever been used there.

For example, if you close the Infinband ipath driver char device file, the
close file ops calls kmem_cache_destroy().  So running some infiniband
config tool on one a single CPU dedicated to system tasks might interrupt
the rest of the 127 CPUs dedicated to some CPU intensive or latency
sensitive task.

I suspect there is a good chance that every line in the output of "git
grep kmem_cache_destroy linux/ | grep '\->'" has a similar scenario.

This patch attempts to rectify this issue by sending an IPI to flush the
per cpu objects back to the free lists only to CPUs that seem to have such
objects.

The check which CPU to IPI is racy but we don't care since asking a CPU
without per cpu objects to flush does no damage and as far as I can tell
the flush_all by itself is racy against allocs on remote CPUs anyway, so
if you required the flush_all to be determinstic, you had to arrange for
locking regardless.

Without this patch the following artificial test case:

$ cd /sys/kernel/slab
$ for DIR in *; do cat $DIR/alloc_calls > /dev/null; done

produces 166 IPIs on an cpuset isolated CPU. With it it produces none.

The code path of memory allocation failure for CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y
config was tested using fault injection framework.

Most system calls taking flags first check that the flags passed in are
valid, and that helps userspace to detect when new flags are supported.

But swapon never did so: start checking now, to help if we ever want to
support more swap_flags in future.

It's difficult to get stray bits set in an int, and swapon is not widely
used, so this is most unlikely to break any userspace; but we can just
revert if it turns out to do so.

The size of coredump files is limited by RLIMIT_CORE, however, allocating
large amounts of memory results in three negative consequences:

 - the coredumping process may be chosen for oom kill and quickly deplete
   all memory reserves in oom conditions preventing further progress from
   being made or tasks from exiting,

 - the coredumping process may cause other processes to be oom killed
   without fault of their own as the result of a SIGSEGV, for example, in
   the coredumping process, or

 - the coredumping process may result in a livelock while writing to the
   dump file if it needs memory to allocate while other threads are in
   the exit path waiting on the coredumper to complete.

This is fixed by implying __GFP_NORETRY in the page allocator for
coredumping processes when reclaim has failed so the allocations fail and
the process continues to exit.

Holepunching filesystems ext4 and xfs are using truncate_inode_pages_range
but forgetting to unmap pages first (ocfs2 remembers).  This is not really
a bug, since races already require truncate_inode_page() to handle that
case once the page is locked; but it can be very inefficient if the file
being punched happens to be mapped into many vmas.

Provide a drop-in replacement truncate_pagecache_range() which does the
unmapping pass first, handling the awkward mismatch between arguments to
truncate_inode_pages_range() and arguments to unmap_mapping_range().

Note that holepunching does not unmap privately COWed pages in the range:
POSIX requires that we do so when truncating, but it's hard to justify,
difficult to implement without an i_size cutoff, and no filesystem is
attempting to implement it.

Since we no longer need the VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag, let's use the freed bit
for 'VM_NODUMP' flag.  The idea is is to add a new madvise() flag:
MADV_DONTDUMP, which can be set by applications to specifically request
memory regions which should not dump core.

The specific application I have in mind is qemu: we can add a flag there
that wouldn't dump all of guest memory when qemu dumps core.  This flag
might also be useful for security sensitive apps that want to absolutely
make sure that parts of memory are not dumped.  To clear the flag use:
MADV_DODUMP.

The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a
qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which
can be quite large.  There are already a number of filter flags in
/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types'
of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this
case).

Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates
the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag.  The flag is used internally by
the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages.  However, it is simple
enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need
for this flag.

The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new
'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags:
'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'.  The core dump filters
continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the
region.

The qemu code which implements this features is at:

  http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch

In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this
patch.

I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for
security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are
dumped.

This patch:

The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to
indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section.  However, we
can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against
the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from
arch_vma_name().  Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

Change oom_kill_task() to use do_send_sig_info(SEND_SIG_FORCED) instead
of force_sig(SIGKILL).  With the recent changes we do not need force_ to
kill the CLONE_NEWPID tasks.

And this is more correct.  force_sig() can race with the exiting thread
