Compaction uses a watermark gap of (2UL << order) pages at various
places and it's not immediately obvious why.  Abstract it through a
compact_gap() wrapper to create a single place with a thorough
explanation.

The __compact_finished() function uses low watermark in a check that has
to pass if the direct compaction is to finish and allocation should
succeed.  This is too pessimistic, as the allocation will typically use
min watermark.  It may happen that during compaction, we drop below the
low watermark (due to parallel activity), but still form the target
high-order page.  By checking against low watermark, we might needlessly
continue compaction.

Similarly, __compaction_suitable() uses low watermark in a check whether
allocation can succeed without compaction.  Again, this is unnecessarily
pessimistic.

After this patch, these check will use direct compactor's alloc_flags to
determine the watermark, which is effectively the min watermark.

During reclaim/compaction loop, it's desirable to get a final answer
from unsuccessful compaction so we can either fail the allocation or
invoke the OOM killer.  However, heuristics such as deferred compaction
or pageblock skip bits can cause compaction to skip parts or whole zones
and lead to premature OOM's, failures or excessive reclaim/compaction
retries.

To remedy this, we introduce a new direct compaction priority called
COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_FULL, which instructs direct compaction to:

 - ignore deferred compaction status for a zone
 - ignore pageblock skip hints
 - ignore cached scanner positions and scan the whole zone

The new priority should get eventually picked up by
should_compact_retry() and this should improve success rates for costly
allocations using __GFP_REPEAT, such as hugetlbfs allocations, and
reduce some corner-case OOM's for non-costly allocations.

Joonsoo has reminded me that in a later patch changing watermark checks
throughout compaction I forgot to update checks in
try_to_compact_pages() and compactd_do_work().  Closer inspection
however shows that they are redundant now in the success case, because
compact_zone() now reliably reports this with COMPACT_SUCCESS.  So
effectively the checks just repeat (a subset) of checks that have just
passed.  So instead of checking watermarks again, just test the return
value.

Note it's also possible that compaction would declare failure e.g.
because its find_suitable_fallback() is more strict than simple
watermark check, and then the watermark check we are removing would then
still succeed.  After this patch this is not possible and it's arguably
better, because for long-term fragmentation avoidance we should rather
try a different zone than allocate with the unsuitable fallback.  If
compaction of all zones fail and the allocation is important enough, it
will retry and succeed anyway.

Also remove the stray "bool success" variable from kcompactd_do_work().

COMPACT_PARTIAL has historically meant that compaction returned after
doing some work without fully compacting a zone.  It however didn't
distinguish if compaction terminated because it succeeded in creating
the requested high-order page.  This has changed recently and now we
only return COMPACT_PARTIAL when compaction thinks it succeeded, or the
high-order watermark check in compaction_suitable() passes and no
compaction needs to be done.

So at this point we can make the return value clearer by renaming it to
COMPACT_SUCCESS.  The next patch will remove some redundant tests for
success where compaction just returned COMPACT_SUCCESS.

Patch series "make direct compaction more deterministic")

This is mostly a followup to Michal's oom detection rework, which
highlighted the need for direct compaction to provide better feedback in
reclaim/compaction loop, so that it can reliably recognize when
compaction cannot make further progress, and allocation should invoke
OOM killer or fail.  We've discussed this at LSF/MM [1] where I proposed
expanding the async/sync migration mode used in compaction to more
general "priorities".  This patchset adds one new priority that just
overrides all the heuristics and makes compaction fully scan all zones.
I don't currently think that we need more fine-grained priorities, but
we'll see.  Other than that there's some smaller fixes and cleanups,
mainly related to the THP-specific hacks.

I've tested this with stress-highalloc in GFP_KERNEL order-4 and
THP-like order-9 scenarios.  There's some improvement for compaction
stats for the order-4, which is likely due to the better watermarks
handling.  In the previous version I reported mostly noise wrt
compaction stats, and decreased direct reclaim - now the reclaim is
without difference.  I believe this is due to the less aggressive
compaction priority increase in patch 6.

This patch (of 11):

A recent patch has added whole_zone flag that compaction sets when
scanning starts from the zone boundary, in order to report that zone has
been fully scanned in one attempt.  For allocations that want to try
really hard or cannot fail, we will want to introduce a mode where
scanning whole zone is guaranteed regardless of the cached positions.

This patch reuses the whole_zone flag in a way that if it's already
passed true to compaction, the cached scanner positions are ignored.
Employing this flag during reclaim/compaction loop will be done in the
next patch.  This patch however converts compaction invoked from
userspace via procfs to use this flag.  Before this patch, the cached
positions were first reset to zone boundaries and then read back from
struct zone, so there was a window where a parallel compaction could
replace the reset values, making the manual compaction less effective.
Using the flag instead of performing reset is more robust.

When selecting an oom victim, we use the same heuristic for both memory
cgroup and global oom.  The only difference is the scope of tasks to
select the victim from.  So we could just export an iterator over all
memcg tasks and keep all oom related logic in oom_kill.c, but instead we
duplicate pieces of it in memcontrol.c reusing some initially private
functions of oom_kill.c in order to not duplicate all of it.  That looks
ugly and error prone, because any modification of select_bad_process
should also be propagated to mem_cgroup_out_of_memory.

Let's rework this as follows: keep all oom heuristic related code private
to oom_kill.c and make oom_kill.c use exported memcg functions when it's
really necessary (like in case of iterating over memcg tasks).

Commit 22f2ac51 ("mm: workingset: fix crash in shadow node shrinker
caused by replace_page_cache_page()") switched replace_page_cache() from
raw radix tree operations to page_cache_tree_insert() but didn't take
into account that the latter function, unlike the raw radix tree op,
handles mapping->nrpages.  As a result, that counter is bumped for each
page replacement rather than balanced out even.

The mapping->nrpages counter is used to skip needless radix tree walks
when invalidating, truncating, syncing inodes without pages, as well as
statistics for userspace.  Since the error is positive, we'll do more
page cache tree walks than necessary; we won't miss a necessary one.
And we'll report more buffer pages to userspace than there are.  The
error is limited to fuse inodes.

This is a long-standing bug in the way shadow entries are accounted in
the radix tree nodes. The shrinker needs to know when radix tree nodes
contain only shadow entries, no pages, so node->count is split in half
to count shadows in the upper bits and pages in the lower bits.

Unfortunately, the radix tree implementation doesn't know of this and
assumes all entries are in node->count. When there is a shadow entry
directly in root->rnode and the tree is later extended, the radix tree
implementation will copy that entry into the new node and and bump its
node->count, i.e. increases the page count bits. Once the shadow gets
removed and we subtract from the upper counter, node->count underflows
and triggers the warning. Afterwards, without node->count reaching 0
again, the radix tree node is leaked.

Limit shadow entries to when we have actual radix tree nodes and can
count them properly. That means we lose the ability to detect refaults
from files that had only the first page faulted in at eviction time.

which corresponds to the following sanity check in the shadow node
tracking:

  BUG_ON(node->count & RADIX_TREE_COUNT_MASK);

The workingset code tracks radix tree nodes that exclusively contain
shadow entries of evicted pages in them, and this (somewhat obscure)
line checks whether there are real pages left that would interfere with
reclaim of the radix tree node under memory pressure.

While discussing ways how fuse might sneak pages into the radix tree
past the workingset code, Miklos pointed to replace_page_cache_page(),
and indeed there is a problem there: it properly accounts for the old
page being removed - __delete_from_page_cache() does that - but then
does a raw raw radix_tree_insert(), not accounting for the replacement
page.  Eventually the page count bits in node->count underflow while
leaving the node incorrectly linked to the shadow node LRU.

To address this, make sure replace_page_cache_page() uses the tracked
page insertion code, page_cache_tree_insert().  This fixes the page
accounting and makes sure page-containing nodes are properly unlinked
from the shadow node LRU again.

Also, make the sanity checks a bit less obscure by using the helpers for
checking the number of pages and shadows in a radix tree node.

I hit the following hung task when runing a OOM LTP test case with 4.1
kernel.

The oom victim cannot terminate because it needs to take mmap_sem for
write while the lock is held by ksmd for read which loops in the page
allocator

ksm_do_scan
	scan_get_next_rmap_item
		down_read
		get_next_rmap_item
			alloc_rmap_item   #ksmd will loop permanently.

There is no way forward because the oom victim cannot release any memory
in 4.1 based kernel.  Since 4.6 we have the oom reaper which would solve
this problem because it would release the memory asynchronously.
Nevertheless we can relax alloc_rmap_item requirements and use
__GFP_NORETRY because the allocation failure is acceptable as ksm_do_scan
would just retry later after the lock got dropped.

Such a patch would be also easy to backport to older stable kernels which
do not have oom_reaper.

While we are at it add GFP_NOWARN so the admin doesn't have to be alarmed
by the allocation failure.

The NUMA balancing logic uses an arch-specific PROT_NONE page table flag
defined by pte_protnone() or pmd_protnone() to mark PTEs or huge page
PMDs respectively as requiring balancing upon a subsequent page fault.
User-defined PROT_NONE memory regions which also have this flag set will
not normally invoke the NUMA balancing code as do_page_fault() will send
a segfault to the process before handle_mm_fault() is even called.

However if access_remote_vm() is invoked to access a PROT_NONE region of
memory, handle_mm_fault() is called via faultin_page() and
__get_user_pages() without any access checks being performed, meaning
the NUMA balancing logic is incorrectly invoked on a non-NUMA memory
region.

A simple means of triggering this problem is to access PROT_NONE mmap'd
memory using /proc/self/mem which reliably results in the NUMA handling
functions being invoked when CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING is set.

This issue was reported in bugzilla (issue 99101) which includes some
simple repro code.

There are BUG_ON() checks in do_numa_page() and do_huge_pmd_numa_page()
added at commit c0e7cad9 to avoid accidentally provoking strange
behaviour by attempting to apply NUMA balancing to pages that are in
fact PROT_NONE.  The BUG_ON()'s are consistently triggered by the repro.

This patch moves the PROT_NONE check into mm/memory.c rather than
invoking BUG_ON() as faulting in these pages via faultin_page() is a
valid reason for reaching the NUMA check with the PROT_NONE page table
flag set and is therefore not always a bug.

init_tlb_ubc() looked unnecessary to me: tlb_ubc is statically
initialized with zeroes in the init_task, and copied from parent to
child while it is quiescent in arch_dup_task_struct(); so I went to
delete it.

But inserted temporary debug WARN_ONs in place of init_tlb_ubc() to
check that it was always empty at that point, and found them firing:
because memcg reclaim can recurse into global reclaim (when allocating
biosets for swapout in my case), and arrive back at the init_tlb_ubc()
in shrink_node_memcg().

Resetting tlb_ubc.flush_required at that point is wrong: if the upper
level needs a deferred TLB flush, but the lower level turns out not to,
we miss a TLB flush.  But fortunately, that's the only part of the
protocol that does not nest: with the initialization removed, cpumask
collects bits from upper and lower levels, and flushes TLB when needed.

During cgroup2 rollout into production, we started encountering css
refcount underflows and css access crashes in the memory controller.
Splitting the heavily shared css reference counter into logical users
narrowed the imbalance down to the cgroup2 socket memory accounting.

The problem turns out to be the per-cpu charge cache.  Cgroup1 had a
separate socket counter, but the new cgroup2 socket accounting goes
through the common charge path that uses a shared per-cpu cache for all
memory that is being tracked.  Those caches are safe against scheduling
preemption, but not against interrupts - such as the newly added packet
receive path.  When cache draining is interrupted by network RX taking
pages out of the cache, the resuming drain operation will put references
of in-use pages, thus causing the imbalance.

Disable IRQs during all per-cpu charge cache operations.

Commit 62c230bc ("mm: add support for a filesystem to activate
swap files and use direct_IO for writing swap pages") replaced the
swap_aops dirty hook from __set_page_dirty_no_writeback() with
swap_set_page_dirty().

For normal cases without these special SWP flags code path falls back to
__set_page_dirty_no_writeback() so the behaviour is expected to be the
same as before.

But swap_set_page_dirty() makes use of the page_swap_info() helper to
get the swap_info_struct to check for the flags like SWP_FILE,
SWP_BLKDEV etc as desired for those features.  This helper has
BUG_ON(!PageSwapCache(page)) which is racy and safe only for the
set_page_dirty_lock() path.

For the set_page_dirty() path which is often needed for cases to be
called from irq context, kswapd() can toggle the flag behind the back
while the call is getting executed when system is low on memory and
heavy swapping is ongoing.

This ends up with undesired kernel panic.

This patch just moves the check outside the helper to its users
appropriately to fix kernel panic for the described path.  Couple of
users of helpers already take care of SwapCache condition so I skipped
them.

dump_page() uses page_mapcount() to get mapcount of the page.
page_mapcount() has VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageSlab(page)) as mapcount doesn't

It leads to recursion if dump_page() called for slub page and DEBUG_VM

hugepage_vma_revalidate() tries to re-check if we still should try to
collapse small pages into huge one after the re-acquiring mmap_sem.

The problem Dmitry Vyukov reported[1] is that the vma found by
hugepage_vma_revalidate() can be suitable for huge pages, but not the
same vma we had before dropping mmap_sem.  And dereferencing original
vma can lead to fun results..

Let's use vma hugepage_vma_revalidate() found instead of assuming it's the
same as what we had before the lock was dropped.

Commit 394e31d2 ("mem-hotplug: alloc new page from a nearest
neighbor node when mem-offline") introduced new_node_page() for memory
hotplug.

In new_node_page(), the nid is cleared before calling
__alloc_pages_nodemask().  But if it is the only node of the system, and
the first round allocation fails, it will not be able to get memory from
an empty nodemask, and will trigger oom.

The patch checks whether it is the last node on the system, and if it
is, then don't clear the nid in the nodemask.

Commit:

  4d942466 ("mm: convert p[te|md]_mknonnuma and remaining page table manipulations")

changed NUMA balancing from _PAGE_NUMA to using PROT_NONE, and was quickly
found to introduce a regression with NUMA grouping.

It was followed up by these commits:

 53da3bc2 ("mm: fix up numa read-only thread grouping logic")
 bea66fbd ("mm: numa: group related processes based on VMA flags instead of page table flags")
 b191f9b1 ("mm: numa: preserve PTE write permissions across a NUMA hinting fault")

The first of those two commits try alternate approaches to NUMA
grouping, which apparently do not work as well as looking at the PTE
write permissions.

The latter patch preserves the PTE write permissions across a NUMA
protection fault. However, it forgets to revert the condition for
whether or not to group tasks together back to what it was before
v3.19, even though the information is now preserved in the page tables
once again.

This patch brings the NUMA grouping heuristic back to what it was
before commit 4d942466, which the changelogs of subsequent
commits suggest worked best.

We have all the information again. We should probably use it.

PAGE_POISONING_ZERO disables zeroing new pages on alloc, they are
poisoned (zeroed) as they become available.
In the hibernate use case, free pages will appear in the system without
being cleared, left there by the loading kernel.

This patch will make sure free pages are cleared on resume when
PAGE_POISONING_ZERO is enabled. We free the pages just after resume
because we can't do it later: going through any device resume code might
allocate some memory and invalidate the free pages bitmap.

Thus we don't need to disable hibernation when PAGE_POISONING_ZERO is

KASAN allocates memory from the page allocator as part of
kmem_cache_free(), and that can reference current->mempolicy through any
number of allocation functions.  It needs to be NULL'd out before the
final reference is dropped to prevent a use-after-free bug:

	BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in alloc_pages_current+0x363/0x370 at addr ffff88010b48102c
	CPU: 0 PID: 15425 Comm: trinity-c2 Not tainted 4.8.0-rc2+ #140
	...
	Call Trace:

		alloc_pages_current	<-- use after free
		depot_save_stack
		save_stack
		kasan_slab_free
		kmem_cache_free
		__mpol_put		<-- free
		do_exit

This patch sets current->mempolicy to NULL before dropping the final
reference.

Firmware Assisted Dump (FA_DUMP) on ppc64 reserves substantial amounts
of memory when booting a secondary kernel.  Srikar Dronamraju reported
that multiple nodes may have no memory managed by the buddy allocator
but still return true for populated_zone().

Commit 1d82de61 ("mm, vmscan: make kswapd reclaim in terms of
nodes") was reported to cause kswapd to spin at 100% CPU usage when
fadump was enabled.  The old code happened to deal with the situation of
a populated node with zero free pages by co-incidence but the current
code tries to reclaim populated zones without realising that is
impossible.

We cannot just convert populated_zone() as many existing users really
need to check for present_pages.  This patch introduces a managed_zone()
helper and uses it in the few cases where it is critical that the check
is made for managed pages -- zonelist construction and page reclaim.

There have been several reports about pre-mature OOM killer invocation
in 4.7 kernel when order-2 allocation request (for the kernel stack)
invoked OOM killer even during basic workloads (light IO or even kernel
compile on some filesystems).  In all reported cases the memory is
fragmented and there are no order-2+ pages available.  There is usually
a large amount of slab memory (usually dentries/inodes) and further
debugging has shown that there are way too many unmovable blocks which
are skipped during the compaction.  Multiple reporters have confirmed
that the current linux-next which includes [1] and [2] helped and OOMs
are not reproducible anymore.

A simpler fix for the late rc and stable is to simply ignore the
compaction feedback and retry as long as there is a reclaim progress and
we are not getting OOM for order-0 pages.  We already do that for
CONFING_COMPACTION=n so let's reuse the same code when compaction is
enabled as well.

For DAX inodes we need to be careful to never have page cache pages in
the mapping->page_tree.  This radix tree should be composed only of DAX
exceptional entries and zero pages.

ltp's readahead02 test was triggering a warning because we were trying
to insert a DAX exceptional entry but found that a page cache page had
already been inserted into the tree.  This page was being inserted into
the radix tree in response to a readahead(2) call.

Readahead doesn't make sense for DAX inodes, but we don't want it to
report a failure either.  Instead, we just return success and don't do
any work.
