The rmap_walk can access vm_page_prot (and potentially vm_flags in the
pte/pmd manipulations).  So it's not safe to wait the caller to update
the vm_page_prot/vm_flags after vma_merge returned potentially removing
the "next" vma and extending the "current" vma over the
next->vm_start,vm_end range, but still with the "current" vma
vm_page_prot, after releasing the rmap locks.

The vm_page_prot/vm_flags must be transferred from the "next" vma to the
current vma while vma_merge still holds the rmap locks.

The side effect of this race condition is pte corruption during migrate
as remove_migration_ptes when run on a address of the "next" vma that
got removed, used the vm_page_prot of the current vma.

  migrate   	      	        mprotect
  ------------			-------------
  migrating in "next" vma
				vma_merge() # removes "next" vma and
			        	    # extends "current" vma
					    # current vma is not with
					    # vm_page_prot updated
  remove_migration_ptes
  read vm_page_prot of current "vma"
  establish pte with wrong permissions
				vm_set_page_prot(vma) # too late!
				change_protection in the old vma range
				only, next range is not updated

This caused segmentation faults and potentially memory corruption in
heavy mprotect loads with some light page migration caused by compaction
in the background.

Hugh Dickins pointed out the comment about the Odd case 8 in vma_merge
which confirms the case 8 is only buggy one where the race can trigger,
in all other vma_merge cases the above cannot happen.

This fix removes the oddness factor from case 8 and it converts it from:

      AAAA
  PPPPNNNNXXXX -> PPPPNNNNNNNN

to:

      AAAA
  PPPPNNNNXXXX -> PPPPXXXXXXXX

XXXX has the right vma properties for the whole merged vma returned by
vma_adjust, so it solves the problem fully.  It has the added benefits
that the callers could stop updating vma properties when vma_merge
succeeds however the callers are not updated by this patch (there are
bits like VM_SOFTDIRTY that still need special care for the whole range,
as the vma merging ignores them, but as long as they're not processed by
rmap walks and instead they're accessed with the mmap_sem at least for
reading, they are fine not to be updated within vma_adjust before
releasing the rmap_locks).

mm->highest_vm_end doesn't need any update.

After finally removing the oddness from vma_merge case 8 that was
causing:

1) constant risk of trouble whenever anybody would check vma fields
   from rmap_walks, like it happened when page migration was
   introduced and it read the vma->vm_page_prot from a rmap_walk

2) the callers of vma_merge to re-initialize any value different from
   the current vma, instead of vma_merge() more reliably returning a
   vma that already matches all fields passed as parameter

.. it is also worth to take the opportunity of cleaning up superfluous
code in vma_adjust(), that if not removed adds up to the hard
readability of the function.

According to Hugh's suggestion, alloc_stable_node() with GFP_KERNEL can
in rare cases cause a hung task warning.

At present, if alloc_stable_node() allocation fails, two break_cows may
want to allocate a couple of pages, and the issue will come up when free
memory is under pressure.

We fix it by adding __GFP_HIGH to GFP, to grant access to memory
reserves, increasing the likelihood of allocation success.

For every pfn aligned to minimum_order, dissolve_free_huge_pages() will
call dissolve_free_huge_page() which takes the hugetlb spinlock, even if
the page is not huge at all or a hugepage that is in-use.

Improve this by doing the PageHuge() and page_count() checks already in
dissolve_free_huge_pages() before calling dissolve_free_huge_page().  In
dissolve_free_huge_page(), when holding the spinlock, those checks need
to be revalidated.

In dissolve_free_huge_pages(), free hugepages will be dissolved without
making sure that there are enough of them left to satisfy hugepage
reservations.

Fix this by adding a return value to dissolve_free_huge_pages() and
checking h->free_huge_pages vs.  h->resv_huge_pages.  Note that this may
lead to the situation where dissolve_free_huge_page() returns an error
and all free hugepages that were dissolved before that error are lost,
while the memory block still cannot be set offline.

Patch series "mm/hugetlb: memory offline issues with hugepages", v4.

This addresses several issues with hugepages and memory offline.  While
the first patch fixes a panic, and is therefore rather important, the
last patch is just a performance optimization.

The second patch fixes a theoretical issue with reserved hugepages,
while still leaving some ugly usability issue, see description.

This patch (of 3):

dissolve_free_huge_pages() will either run into the VM_BUG_ON() or a
list corruption and addressing exception when trying to set a memory
block offline that is part (but not the first part) of a "gigantic"
hugetlb page with a size > memory block size.

When no other smaller hugetlb page sizes are present, the VM_BUG_ON()
will trigger directly.  In the other case we will run into an addressing
exception later, because dissolve_free_huge_page() will not work on the
head page of the compound hugetlb page which will result in a NULL
hstate from page_hstate().

To fix this, first remove the VM_BUG_ON() because it is wrong, and then
use the compound head page in dissolve_free_huge_page().  This means
that an unused pre-allocated gigantic page that has any part of itself
inside the memory block that is going offline will be dissolved
completely.  Losing an unused gigantic hugepage is preferable to failing
the memory offline, for example in the situation where a (possibly
faulty) memory DIMM needs to go offline.

Now, patch "oom, suspend: fix oom_killer_disable vs.  pm suspend

raced with disabling the OOM killer and the system is OOM livelocked,
the OOM killer will be enabled eventually (in 20 seconds by default) and
the OOM livelock will be solved.  Therefore, we no longer need to warn

Fragmentation index and the vm.extfrag_threshold sysctl is meant as a
heuristic to prevent excessive compaction for costly orders (i.e.  THP).
It's unlikely to make any difference for non-costly orders, especially
with the default threshold.  But we cannot afford any uncertainty for
the non-costly orders where the only alternative to successful
reclaim/compaction is OOM.  After the recent patches we are guaranteed
maximum effort without heuristics from compaction before deciding OOM,
and fragindex is the last remaining heuristic.  Therefore skip fragindex
altogether for non-costly orders.

The compaction_zonelist_suitable() function tries to determine if
compaction will be able to proceed after sufficient reclaim, i.e.
whether there are enough reclaimable pages to provide enough order-0
freepages for compaction.

This addition of reclaimable pages to the free pages works well for the
order-0 watermark check, but in the fragmentation index check we only
consider truly free pages.  Thus we can get fragindex value close to 0
which indicates failure do to lack of memory, and wrongly decide that
compaction won't be suitable even after reclaim.

Instead of trying to somehow adjust fragindex for reclaimable pages,
let's just skip it from compaction_zonelist_suitable().

Several people have reported premature OOMs for order-2 allocations
(stack) due to OOM rework in 4.7.  In the scenario (parallel kernel
build and dd writing to two drives) many pageblocks get marked as
Unmovable and compaction free scanner struggles to isolate free pages.
Joonsoo Kim pointed out that the free scanner skips pageblocks that are
not movable to prevent filling them and forcing non-movable allocations
to fallback to other pageblocks.  Such heuristic makes sense to help
prevent long-term fragmentation, but premature OOMs are relatively more
urgent problem.  As a compromise, this patch disables the heuristic only
for the ultimate compaction priority.

The new ultimate compaction priority disables some heuristics, which may
result in excessive cost.  This is fine for non-costly orders where we
want to try hard before resulting for OOM, but might be disruptive for
costly orders which do not trigger OOM and should generally have some
fallback.  Thus, we disable the full priority for costly orders.

During reclaim/compaction loop, compaction priority can be increased by
the should_compact_retry() function, but the current code is not
optimal.  Priority is only increased when compaction_failed() is true,
which means that compaction has scanned the whole zone.  This may not
happen even after multiple attempts with a lower priority due to
parallel activity, so we might needlessly struggle on the lower
priorities and possibly run out of compaction retry attempts in the
process.

After this patch we are guaranteed at least one attempt at the highest
compaction priority even if we exhaust all retries at the lower
priorities.

Patch series "reintroduce compaction feedback for OOM decisions".

After several people reported OOM's for order-2 allocations in 4.7 due
to Michal Hocko's OOM rework, he reverted the part that considered
compaction feedback [1] in the decisions to retry reclaim/compaction.
This was to provide a fix quickly for 4.8 rc and 4.7 stable series,
while mmotm had an almost complete solution that instead improved
compaction reliability.

This series completes the mmotm solution and reintroduces the compaction
feedback into OOM decisions.  The first two patches restore the state of
mmotm before the temporary solution was merged, the last patch should be
the missing piece for reliability.  The third patch restricts the
hardened compaction to non-costly orders, since costly orders don't
result in OOMs in the first place.

This patch (of 4):

Commit 6b4e3181 ("mm, oom: prevent premature OOM killer invocation

for 4.8 and stable 4.7.x kernels.  For a better long-term solution, we
still want to consider compaction feedback, which should be possible
after some more improvements in the following patches.

This reverts commit 6b4e3181.

This patch is to improve the performance of swap cache operations when
the type of the swap device is not 0.  Originally, the whole swap entry
value is used as the key of the swap cache, even though there is one
radix tree for each swap device.  If the type of the swap device is not
0, the height of the radix tree of the swap cache will be increased
unnecessary, especially on 64bit architecture.  For example, for a 1GB
swap device on the x86_64 architecture, the height of the radix tree of
the swap cache is 11.  But if the offset of the swap entry is used as
the key of the swap cache, the height of the radix tree of the swap
cache is 4.  The increased height causes unnecessary radix tree
descending and increased cache footprint.

This patch reduces the height of the radix tree of the swap cache via
using the offset of the swap entry instead of the whole swap entry value
as the key of the swap cache.  In 32 processes sequential swap out test
case on a Xeon E5 v3 system with RAM disk as swap, the lock contention
for the spinlock of the swap cache is reduced from 20.15% to 12.19%,
when the type of the swap device is 1.

Use the whole swap entry as key,

If store_mem_state() is called to online memory which is already online,
it will return 1, the value it got from device_online().

This is wrong because store_mem_state() is a device_attribute .store
function.  Thus a non-negative return value represents input bytes read.

Set the return value to -EINVAL in this case.

mem_cgroup_count_precharge() and mem_cgroup_move_charge() both call
walk_page_range() on the range 0 to ~0UL, neither provide a pte_hole
callback, which causes the current implementation to skip non-vma
regions.  This is all fine but follow up changes would like to make
walk_page_range more generic so it is better to be explicit about which
range to traverse so let's use highest_vm_end to explicitly traverse
only user mmaped memory.

The global zero page is used to satisfy an anonymous read fault.  If
THP(Transparent HugePage) is enabled then the global huge zero page is
used.  The global huge zero page uses an atomic counter for reference
counting and is allocated/freed dynamically according to its counter
value.

CPU time spent on that counter will greatly increase if there are a lot
of processes doing anonymous read faults.  This patch proposes a way to
reduce the access to the global counter so that the CPU load can be
reduced accordingly.

To do this, a new flag of the mm_struct is introduced:
MMF_USED_HUGE_ZERO_PAGE.  With this flag, the process only need to touch
the global counter in two cases:

 1 The first time it uses the global huge zero page;
 2 The time when mm_user of its mm_struct reaches zero.

Note that right now, the huge zero page is eligible to be freed as soon
as its last use goes away.  With this patch, the page will not be
eligible to be freed until the exit of the last process from which it
was ever used.

And with the use of mm_user, the kthread is not eligible to use huge
zero page either.  Since no kthread is using huge zero page today, there
is no difference after applying this patch.  But if that is not desired,
I can change it to when mm_count reaches zero.

Case used for test on Haswell EP:

  usemem -n 72 --readonly -j 0x200000 100G

Which spawns 72 processes and each will mmap 100G anonymous space and
then do read only access to that space sequentially with a step of 2MB.

Trying to walk all of virtual memory requires architecture specific
knowledge.  On x86_64, addresses must be sign extended from bit 48,
whereas on arm64 the top VA_BITS of address space have their own set of
page tables.

clear_refs_write() calls walk_page_range() on the range 0 to ~0UL, it
provides a test_walk() callback that only expects to be walking over
VMAs.  Currently walk_pmd_range() will skip memory regions that don't
have a VMA, reporting them as a hole.

As this call only expects to walk user address space, make it walk 0 to
'highest_vm_end'.

In current kernel code, we only call node_set_state(cpu_to_node(cpu),
N_CPU) when a cpu is hot plugged.  But we do not set the node state for
N_CPU when the cpus are brought online during boot.

So this could lead to failure when we check to see if a node contains
cpu with node_state(node_id, N_CPU).

One use case is in the node_reclaime function:

        /*
         * Only run node reclaim on the local node or on nodes that do
         * not
         * have associated processors. This will favor the local
         * processor
         * over remote processors and spread off node memory allocations
         * as wide as possible.
         */
        if (node_state(pgdat->node_id, N_CPU) && pgdat->node_id !=
                numa_node_id())
                return NODE_RECLAIM_NOSCAN;

I instrumented the kernel to call this function after boot and it always
returns 0 on a x86 desktop machine until I apply the attached patch.

   int num_cpu_node(void)
   {
       int i, nr_cpu_nodes = 0;

       for_each_node(i) {
               if (node_state(i, N_CPU))
                       ++ nr_cpu_nodes;
       }

       return nr_cpu_nodes;
   }

Fix this by checking each node for online CPU when we initialize
vmstat that's responsible for maintaining node state.

When CONFIG_FS_DAX_PMD is set, DAX supports mmap() using pmd page size.
This feature relies on both mmap virtual address and FS block (i.e.
physical address) to be aligned by the pmd page size.  Users can use
mkfs options to specify FS to align block allocations.  However,
aligning mmap address requires code changes to existing applications for
providing a pmd-aligned address to mmap().

For instance, fio with "ioengine=mmap" performs I/Os with mmap() [1].
It calls mmap() with a NULL address, which needs to be changed to
provide a pmd-aligned address for testing with DAX pmd mappings.
Changing all applications that call mmap() with NULL is undesirable.

Add thp_get_unmapped_area(), which can be called by filesystem's
get_unmapped_area to align an mmap address by the pmd size for a DAX
file.  It calls the default handler, mm->get_unmapped_area(), to find a
range and then aligns it for a DAX file.

The patch is based on Matthew Wilcox's change that allows adding support
of the pud page size easily.

When one vma was with flag VM_LOCKED|VM_LOCKONFAULT (by invoking
mlock2(,MLOCK_ONFAULT)), it can again be populated with mlock() with
VM_LOCKED flag only.

There is a hole in mlock_fixup() which increase mm->locked_vm twice even
the two operations are on the same vma and both with VM_LOCKED flags.

The issue can be reproduced by following code:

  mlock2(p, 1024 * 64, MLOCK_ONFAULT); //VM_LOCKED|VM_LOCKONFAULT
  mlock(p, 1024 * 64);  //VM_LOCKED

Then check the increase VmLck field in /proc/pid/status(to 128k).

When vma is set with different vm_flags, and the new vm_flags is with
VM_LOCKED, it is not necessarily be a "new locked" vma.  This patch
corrects this bug by prevent mm->locked_vm from increment when old
vm_flags is already VM_LOCKED.

In do_mlock(), the check against locked memory limitation has a hole
which will fail following cases at step 3):

 1) User has a memory chunk from addressA with 50k, and user mem lock
    rlimit is 64k.
 2) mlock(addressA, 30k)
 3) mlock(addressA, 40k)

The 3rd step should have been allowed since the 40k request is
intersected with the previous 30k at step 2), and the 3rd step is
actually for mlock on the extra 10k memory.

This patch checks vma to caculate the actual "new" mlock size, if
necessary, and ajust the logic to fix this issue.

Since the lumpy reclaim is gone there is no source of higher order pages
if CONFIG_COMPACTION=n except for the order-0 pages reclaim which is
unreliable for that purpose to say the least.  Hitting an OOM for
!costly higher order requests is therefore all not that hard to imagine.
We are trying hard to not invoke OOM killer as much as possible but
there is simply no reliable way to detect whether more reclaim retries
make sense.

Disabling COMPACTION is not widespread but it seems that some users
might have disable the feature without realizing full consequences
(mostly along with disabling THP because compaction used to be THP
mainly thing).  This patch just adds a note if the OOM killer was
triggered by higher order request with compaction disabled.  This will
help us identifying possible misconfiguration right from the oom report
which is easier than to always keep in mind that somebody might have

File pages use a set of radix tree tags (DIRTY, TOWRITE, WRITEBACK,
etc.) to accelerate finding the pages with a specific tag in the radix
tree during inode writeback.  But for anonymous pages in the swap cache,
there is no inode writeback.  So there is no need to find the pages with
some writeback tags in the radix tree.  It is not necessary to touch
radix tree writeback tags for pages in the swap cache.

Per Rik van Riel's suggestion, a new flag AS_NO_WRITEBACK_TAGS is
introduced for address spaces which don't need to update the writeback
tags.  The flag is set for swap caches.  It may be used for DAX file
systems, etc.

With this patch, the swap out bandwidth improved 22.3% (from ~1.2GB/s to
~1.48GBps) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes.
The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system.  The swap device used is a RAM
simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device.  The improvement comes from
the reduced contention on the swap cache radix tree lock.  To test
sequential swapping out, the test case uses 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.

Details of comparison is as follow,
