This implements the use of migration entries to preserve ptes of file backed pages during migration. Processes can therefore be migrated back and forth without loosing their connection to pagecache pages. Note that we implement the migration entries only for linear mappings. Nonlinear mappings still require the unmapping of the ptes for migration. And another writepage() ugliness shows up. writepage() can drop the page lock. Therefore we have to remove migration ptes before calling writepages() in order to avoid having migration entries point to unlocked pages.

When a writeback_control's `start' and `end' fields are used to indicate a one-byte-range starting at file offset zero, the required values of .start=0,.end=0 mean that the ->writepages() implementation has no way of telling that it is being asked to perform a range request. Because we're currently overloading (start == 0 && end == 0) to mean "this is not a write-a-range request". To make all this sane, the patch changes range of writeback_control. So caller does: If it is calling ->writepages() to write pages, it sets range (range_start/end or range_cyclic) always. And if range_cyclic is true, ->writepages() thinks the range is cyclic, otherwise it just uses range_start and range_end. This patch does, - Add LLONG_MAX, LLONG_MIN, ULLONG_MAX to include/linux/kernel.h -1 is usually ok for range_end (type is long long). But, if someone did, range_end += val; range_end is "val - 1" u64val = range_end >> bits; u64val is "~(0ULL)" or something, they are wrong. So, this adds LLONG_MAX to avoid nasty things, and uses LLONG_MAX for range_end. - All callers of ->writepages() sets range_start/end or range_cyclic. - Fix updates of ->writeback_index. It seems already bit strange. If it starts at 0 and ended by check of nr_to_write, this last index may reduce chance to scan end of file. So, this updates ->writeback_index only if range_cyclic is true or whole-file is scanned.

Rework the swsusp's memory shrinker in the following way: - Simplify balance_pgdat() by removing all of the swsusp-related code from it. - Make shrink_all_memory() use shrink_slab() and a new function shrink_all_zones() which calls shrink_active_list() and shrink_inactive_list() directly for each zone in a way that's optimized for suspend. In shrink_all_memory() we try to free exactly as many pages as the caller asks for, preferably in one shot, starting from easier targets. If slab caches are huge, they are most likely to have enough pages to reclaim. The inactive lists are next (the zones with more inactive pages go first) etc. Each time shrink_all_memory() attempts to shrink the active and inactive lists for each zone in 5 passes. In the first pass, only the inactive lists are taken into consideration. In the next two passes the active lists are also shrunk, but mapped pages are not reclaimed. In the last two passes the active and inactive lists are shrunk and mapped pages are reclaimed as well. The aim of this is to alter the reclaim logic to choose the best pages to keep on resume and improve the responsiveness of the resumed system. Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

A couple of places are forgetting to take it. The kswapd case is probably unimportant. keventd_create_kthread() was racy. The whole thing is a bit flakey: you start a kernel thread, get its pid from kernel_thread() then look up its task_struct. a) It assumes that pid recycling takes a "long" time. b) We get a task_struct but no reference was taken on it. The owner of the kswapd and kthread task_struct*'s must assume that the new thread won't exit unexpectedly. Because if it does, they're left holding dead memory and any attempt to control or stop that task will crash.

Change all the vmscan functions to retunr the number-of-reclaimed pages and remove scan_conrtol.nr_reclaimed. Saves ten-odd bytes of text and makes things clearer and more consistent. The patch also changes the behaviour of zone_reclaim() when it falls back to slab shrinking. Christoph says "Setting this to one means that we will rescan and shrink the slab for each allocation if we are out of zone memory and RECLAIM_SLAB is set. Plus if we do an order 0 allocation we do not go off node as intended. "We better set this to zero. This means the allocation will go offnode despite us having potentially freed lots of memory on the zone. Future allocations can then again be done from this zone."

The VM has an interesting race where a page refcount can drop to zero, but it is still on the LRU lists for a short time. This was solved by testing a 0->1 refcount transition when picking up pages from the LRU, and dropping the refcount in that case. Instead, use atomic_add_unless to ensure we never pick up a 0 refcount page from the LRU, thus a 0 refcount page will never have its refcount elevated until it is allocated again.

However, SWAP_FAIL indicates that the page is in a vma that has the VM_LOCKED flag set (if ignore_refs ==1). We can check for that return code and avoid retrying the migration. migrate_page_remove_references() now needs to return a reason why the failure occured.

A version is provided that migrates buffers attached to pages. Some filesystems (ext2, ext3, xfs) are modified to utilize this feature. The swapper address space operation are modified so that a regular migrate_page() will occur for anonymous pages without writeback (migrate_pages forces every anonymous page to have a swap entry).

If large amounts of zone memory are used by empty slabs then zone_reclaim becomes uneffective. This patch shakes the slab a bit. The problem with this patch is that the slab reclaim is not containable to a zone. Thus slab reclaim may affect the whole system and be extremely slow. This also means that we cannot determine how many pages were freed in this zone. Thus we need to go off node for at least one allocation. The functionality is disabled by default. We could modify the shrinkers to take a zone parameter but that would be quite invasive. Better ideas are welcome.

In some situations one may want zone_reclaim to behave differently. For example a process writing large amounts of memory will spew unto other nodes to cache the writes if many pages in a zone become dirty. This may impact the performance of processes running on other nodes. Allowing writes during reclaim puts a stop to that behavior and throttles the process by restricting the pages to the local zone. Similarly one may want to contain processes to local memory by enabling regular swap behavior during zone_reclaim. Off node memory allocation can then be controlled through memory policies and cpusets.

Currently the zone_reclaim code has a fixed window of 30 seconds of off node allocations should a local zone have no unused pagecache pages left. Reclaim will be attempted again after this timeout period to avoid repeated useless scans for memory. This is also useful to established sufficiently large off node allocation chunks to relieve the local node. It may be beneficial to adjust that time period for some special situations. For example if memory use was exceeding node capacity one may want to give up for longer periods of time. If memory spikes intermittendly then one may want to shorten the time period to reduce the number of off node allocations. This patch allows just that....

Instead of scanning all the pages in a zone, imitate real swap and scan only a portion of the pages and gradually scan more if we do not free up enough pages.
