If node_load[] is cleared everytime build_zonelists() is
called,node_load[] will have no help to find the next node that should
appear in the given node's fallback list.

Because of the bug, zonelist's node_order is not calculated as expected.
This bug affects on big machine, which has asynmetric node distance.

[synmetric NUMA's node distance]
     0    1    2
0   10   12   12
1   12   10   12
2   12   12   10

[asynmetric NUMA's node distance]
     0    1    2
0   10   12   20
1   12   10   14
2   20   14   10

This (my bug) is very old but no one has reported this for a long time.
Maybe because the number of asynmetric NUMA is very small and they use
cpuset for customizing node memory allocation fallback.

The page allocator warns once when an order >= MAX_ORDER is specified.
This is to catch callers of the allocator that are always falling back to
their worst-case when it was not expected.  However, there are cases where
the caller is behaving correctly but cannot suppress the warning.  This
patch allows the warning to be suppressed by the callers by specifying
__GFP_NOWARN.

If a task is oom killed and still cannot find memory when trying with
no watermarks, it's better to fail the allocation attempt than to loop
endlessly.  Direct reclaim has already failed and the oom killer will
be a no-op since current has yet to die, so there is no other
alternative for allocations that are not __GFP_NOFAIL.

Fix a post-2.6.24 performace regression caused by
3dfa5721 ("page-allocator: preserve PFN
ordering when __GFP_COLD is set").

Narayanan reports "The regression is around 15%.  There is no disk controller
as our setup is based on Samsung OneNAND used as a memory mapped device on a
OMAP2430 based board."

The page allocator tries to preserve contiguous PFN ordering when returning
pages such that repeated callers to the allocator have a strong chance of
getting physically contiguous pages, particularly when external fragmentation
is low.  However, of the bulk of the allocations have __GFP_COLD set as they
are due to aio_read() for example, then the PFNs are in reverse PFN order.
This can cause performance degration when used with IO controllers that could
have merged the requests.

This patch attempts to preserve the contiguous ordering of PFNs for users of
__GFP_COLD.

Traditionally, we never failed small orders (even regardless of any

small allocations that could fit in a single page (in order to avoid
excessive fragmentation).

Maybe we should remove this warning entirely, but before making that
judgement, at least limit it to bigger allocations.

After downing/upping a cpu, an attempt to set
/proc/sys/vm/percpu_pagelist_fraction results in an oops in
percpu_pagelist_fraction_sysctl_handler().

If a processor is downed then we need to set the pageset pointer back to
the boot pageset.

Updates of the high water marks should not access pagesets of unpopulated
zones (those pointer go to the boot pagesets which would be no longer
functional if their size would be increased beyond zero).

On NUMA machines, the administrator can configure zone_reclaim_mode that
is a more targetted form of direct reclaim.  On machines with large NUMA
distances for example, a zone_reclaim_mode defaults to 1 meaning that
clean unmapped pages will be reclaimed if the zone watermarks are not
being met.  The problem is that zone_reclaim() failing at all means the
zone gets marked full.

This can cause situations where a zone is usable, but is being skipped
because it has been considered full.  Take a situation where a large tmpfs
mount is occuping a large percentage of memory overall.  The pages do not
get cleaned or reclaimed by zone_reclaim(), but the zone gets marked full
and the zonelist cache considers them not worth trying in the future.

This patch makes zone_reclaim() return more fine-grained information about
what occured when zone_reclaim() failued.  The zone only gets marked full
if it really is unreclaimable.  If it's a case that the scan did not occur
or if enough pages were not reclaimed with the limited reclaim_mode, then
the zone is simply skipped.

There is a side-effect to this patch.  Currently, if zone_reclaim()
successfully reclaimed SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, an allocation attempt would go
ahead.  With this patch applied, zone watermarks are rechecked after
zone_reclaim() does some work.

This bug was introduced by commit 9276b1bc
("memory page_alloc zonelist caching speedup") way back in 2.6.19 when the
zonelist_cache was introduced.  It was not intended that zone_reclaim()
aggressively consider the zone to be full when it failed as full direct
reclaim can still be an option.  Due to the age of the bug, it should be
considered a -stable candidate.

Solve two problems.

Whenever memory hotplug sucessfully happens, zone->present_pages
have to be changed.

1) Now memory hotplug calls setup_per_zone_wmark_min only when
   online_pages called, not offline_pages.

   It breaks balance.

2) If zone->present_pages is changed, we also have to change
   zone->inactive_ratio.  That's because inactive_ratio depends on
   zone->present_pages.

Change the names of two functions. It doesn't affect behavior.

Presently, setup_per_zone_pages_min() changes low, high of zone as well as
min.  So a better name is setup_per_zone_wmarks().  That's because Mel
changed zone->pages_[hig/low/min] to zone->watermark array in "page
allocator: replace the watermark-related union in struct zone with a
watermark[] array".

 * setup_per_zone_pages_min => setup_per_zone_wmarks

Of course, we have to change init_per_zone_pages_min, too.  There are not
pages_min any more.

 * init_per_zone_pages_min => init_per_zone_wmark_min

Currently, the following scenario appears to be possible in theory:

* Tasks are frozen for hibernation or suspend.
* Free pages are almost exhausted.
* Certain piece of code in the suspend code path attempts to allocate
  some memory using GFP_KERNEL and allocation order less than or
  equal to PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.
* __alloc_pages_internal() cannot find a free page so it invokes the
  OOM killer.
* The OOM killer attempts to kill a task, but the task is frozen, so
  it doesn't die immediately.
* __alloc_pages_internal() jumps to 'restart', unsuccessfully tries
  to find a free page and invokes the OOM killer.
* No progress can be made.

Although it is now hard to trigger during hibernation due to the memory
shrinking carried out by the hibernation code, it is theoretically
possible to trigger during suspend after the memory shrinking has been
removed from that code path.  Moreover, since memory allocations are
going to be used for the hibernation memory shrinking, it will be even
more likely to happen during hibernation.

To prevent it from happening, introduce the oom_killer_disabled switch
that will cause __alloc_pages_internal() to fail in the situations in
which the OOM killer would have been called and make the freezer set
this switch after tasks have been successfully frozen.

__GFP_NOFAIL is a bad fiction.  Allocations _can_ fail, and callers should
detect and suitably handle this (and not by lamely moving the infinite
loop up to the caller level either).

Attempting to use __GFP_NOFAIL for a higher-order allocation is even
worse, so add a once-off runtime check for this to slap people around for
even thinking about trying it.

This patch:

Introduce PageHuge(), which identifies huge/gigantic pages by their
dedicated compound destructor functions.

Also move prep_compound_gigantic_page() to hugetlb.c and make
__free_pages_ok() non-static.

Callers may speculatively call different allocators in order of preference
trying to allocate a buffer of a given size.  The order needed to allocate
this may be larger than what the page allocator can normally handle.
While the allocator mostly does the right thing, it should not direct
reclaim or wakeup kswapd with a bogus order.  This patch sanity checks the
order in the slow path and returns NULL if it is too large.

num_online_nodes() is called in a number of places but most often by the
page allocator when deciding whether the zonelist needs to be filtered
based on cpusets or the zonelist cache.  This is actually a heavy function
and touches a number of cache lines.

This patch stores the number of online nodes at boot time and updates the
value when nodes get onlined and offlined.  The value is then used in a
number of important paths in place of num_online_nodes().

Local interrupts are disabled when freeing pages to the PCP list.  Part of
that free checks what the migratetype of the pageblock the page is in but
it checks this with interrupts disabled and interupts should never be
disabled longer than necessary.  This patch checks the pagetype with
interrupts enabled with the impact that it is possible a page is freed to
the wrong list when a pageblock changes type.  As that block is now
already considered mixed from an anti-fragmentation perspective, it's not
of vital importance.

When pages are being freed to the buddy allocator, the zone NR_FREE_PAGES
counter must be updated.  In the case of bulk per-cpu page freeing, it's
updated once per page.  This retouches cache lines more than necessary.
Update the counters one per per-cpu bulk free.

ALLOC_WMARK_MIN, ALLOC_WMARK_LOW and ALLOC_WMARK_HIGH determin whether
pages_min, pages_low or pages_high is used as the zone watermark when
allocating the pages.  Two branches in the allocator hotpath determine
which watermark to use.

This patch uses the flags as an array index into a watermark array that is
indexed with WMARK_* defines accessed via helpers.  All call sites that
use zone->pages_* are updated to use the helpers for accessing the values
and the array offsets for setting.

A number of sanity checks are made on each page allocation and free
including that the page count is zero.  page_count() checks for compound
pages and checks the count of the head page if true.  However, in these
paths, we do not care if the page is compound or not as the count of each
tail page should also be zero.

This patch makes two changes to the use of page_count() in the free path.
It converts one check of page_count() to a VM_BUG_ON() as the count should
have been unconditionally checked earlier in the free path.  It also
avoids checking for compound pages.

There is a zonelist cache which is used to track zones that are not in the
allowed cpuset or found to be recently full.  This is to reduce cache
footprint on large machines.  On smaller machines, it just incurs cost for
no gain.  This patch only uses the zonelist cache when there are NUMA
nodes.

free_page_mlock() tests and clears PG_mlocked using locked versions of the
bit operations.  If set, it disables interrupts to update counters and
this happens on every page free even though interrupts are disabled very
shortly afterwards a second time.  This is wasteful.

This patch splits what free_page_mlock() does.  The bit check is still
made.  However, the update of counters is delayed until the interrupts are
disabled and the non-lock version for clearing the bit is used.  One
potential weirdness with this split is that the counters do not get
updated if the bad_page() check is triggered but a system showing bad
pages is getting screwed already.

free.  Once, when being freed to the pcp lists and once when being freed
back to buddy.  When freeing from the pcp lists, it is known what the
pageblock type was at the time of free so use it rather than rechecking.
In low memory situations under memory pressure, this might skew
anti-fragmentation slightly but the interference is minimal and decisions
that are fragmenting memory are being made anyway.

__rmqueue_fallback() is in the slow path but has only one call site.
Because there is only one call-site, this function can then be inlined
without causing text bloat.  On an x86-based config, it made no difference
as the savings were padded out by NOP instructions.  Milage varies but
text will either decrease in size or remain static.

Inline __rmqueue_smallest by altering flow very slightly so that there is
only one call site.  Because there is only one call-site, this function
can then be inlined without causing text bloat.  On an x86-based config,
this patch reduces text by 16 bytes.

Allocations that specify __GFP_HIGH get the ALLOC_HIGH flag.  If these
flags are equal to each other, we can eliminate a branch.
