Add global mutex zonelists_mutex to fix the possible race:

     CPU0                                  CPU1                    CPU2
(1) zone->present_pages += online_pages;
(2)                                       build_all_zonelists();
(3)                                                               alloc_page();
(4)                                                               free_page();
(5) build_all_zonelists();
(6)   __build_all_zonelists();
(7)     zone->pageset = alloc_percpu();

In step (3,4), zone->pageset still points to boot_pageset, so bad
things may happen if 2+ nodes are in this state. Even if only 1 node
is accessing the boot_pageset, (3) may still consume too much memory
to fail the memory allocations in step (7).

Besides, atomic operation ensures alloc_percpu() in step (7) will never fail
since there is a new fresh memory block added in step(6).

Enable users to online CPUs even if the CPUs belongs to a numa node which
doesn't have onlined local memory.

The zonlists(pg_data_t.node_zonelists[]) of a numa node are created either
in system boot/init period, or at the time of local memory online.  For a
numa node without onlined local memory, its zonelists are not initialized
at present.  As a result, any memory allocation operations executed by
CPUs within this node will fail.  In fact, an out-of-memory error is
triggered when attempt to online CPUs before memory comes to online.

This patch tries to create zonelists for such numa nodes, so that the
memory allocation for this node can be fallback'ed to other nodes.

For now, we have global isolation vs.  memory control group isolation, do
not allow the reclaim entry function to set an arbitrary page isolation
callback, we do not need that flexibility.

And since we already pass around the group descriptor for the memory
control group isolation case, just use it to decide which one of the two
isolator functions to use.

The decisions can be merged into nearby branches, so no extra cost there.
In fact, we save the indirect calls.

get_scan_ratio() calculates percentage and if the percentage is < 1%, it
will round percentage down to 0% and cause we completely ignore scanning
anon/file pages to reclaim memory even the total anon/file pages are very
big.

To avoid underflow, we don't use percentage, instead we directly calculate
how many pages should be scaned.  In this way, we should get several
scanned pages for < 1% percent.

This has some benefits:

1. increase our calculation precision

2.  making our scan more smoothly.  Without this, if percent[x] is
   underflow, shrink_zone() doesn't scan any pages and suddenly it scans
   all pages when priority is zero.  With this, even priority isn't zero,
   shrink_zone() gets chance to scan some pages.

Note, this patch doesn't really change logics, but just increase
precision.  For system with a lot of memory, this might slightly changes
behavior.  For example, in a sequential file read workload, without the
patch, we don't swap any anon pages.  With it, if anon memory size is
bigger than 16G, we will see one anon page swapped.  The 16G is calculated
as PAGE_SIZE * priority(4096) * (fp/ap).  fp/ap is assumed to be 1024
which is common in this workload.  So the impact sounds not a big deal.

Use mm->task_size instead of TASK_SIZE to ensure that the entire user
address space is migrated.  mm->task_size is independent of the calling
task context.  TASK SIZE may be dependant on the address space size of the
calling process.  Usage of TASK_SIZE can lead to partial address space
migration if the calling process was 32 bit and the migrating process was
64 bit.

Here is the test script used on 64 system with a 32 bit echo process:

  mount -t cgroup none /cgroup -o cpuset
  cd /cgroup

  mkdir 0
  echo 1 > 0/cpuset.cpus
  echo 0 > 0/cpuset.mems
  echo 1 > 0/cpuset.memory_migrate

  mkdir 1
  echo 1 > 1/cpuset.cpus
  echo 1 > 1/cpuset.mems
  echo 1 > 1/cpuset.memory_migrate

  echo $$ > 0/tasks
  64_bit_process &
  pid=$!

  echo $pid > 1/tasks   # This does not migrate all process pages without
                        # this patch.  If 64 bit echo is used or this patch is
                        # applied, then the full address space of $pid is
                        # migrated.

The fragmentation index may indicate that a failure is due to external
fragmentation but after a compaction run completes, it is still possible
for an allocation to fail.  There are two obvious reasons as to why

  o Page migration cannot move all pages so fragmentation remains
  o A suitable page may exist but watermarks are not met

In the event of compaction followed by an allocation failure, this patch
defers further compaction in the zone (1 << compact_defer_shift) times.
If the next compaction attempt also fails, compact_defer_shift is
increased up to a maximum of 6.  If compaction succeeds, the defer
counters are reset again.

The zone that is deferred is the first zone in the zonelist - i.e.  the
preferred zone.  To defer compaction in the other zones, the information
would need to be stored in the zonelist or implemented similar to the
zonelist_cache.  This would impact the fast-paths and is not justified at
this time.

mm: compaction: add a tunable that decides when memory should be compacted and when it should be reclaimed

The kernel applies some heuristics when deciding if memory should be
compacted or reclaimed to satisfy a high-order allocation.  One of these
is based on the fragmentation.  If the index is below 500, memory will not
be compacted.  This choice is arbitrary and not based on data.  To help
optimise the system and set a sensible default for this value, this patch
adds a sysctl extfrag_threshold.  The kernel will only compact memory if
the fragmentation index is above the extfrag_threshold.

Ordinarily when a high-order allocation fails, direct reclaim is entered
to free pages to satisfy the allocation.  With this patch, it is
determined if an allocation failed due to external fragmentation instead
of low memory and if so, the calling process will compact until a suitable
page is freed.  Compaction by moving pages in memory is considerably
cheaper than paging out to disk and works where there are locked pages or
no swap.  If compaction fails to free a page of a suitable size, then
reclaim will still occur.

Direct compaction returns as soon as possible.  As each block is
compacted, it is checked if a suitable page has been freed and if so, it
returns.

This patch is the core of a mechanism which compacts memory in a zone by
relocating movable pages towards the end of the zone.

A single compaction run involves a migration scanner and a free scanner.
Both scanners operate on pageblock-sized areas in the zone.  The migration
scanner starts at the bottom of the zone and searches for all movable
pages within each area, isolating them onto a private list called
migratelist.  The free scanner starts at the top of the zone and searches
for suitable areas and consumes the free pages within making them
available for the migration scanner.  The pages isolated for migration are
then migrated to the newly isolated free pages.

The fragmentation fragmentation index, is only meaningful if an allocation
would fail and indicates what the failure is due to.  A value of -1 such
as in many of the examples above states that the allocation would succeed.
 If it would fail, the value is between 0 and 1.  A value tending towards
0 implies the allocation failed due to a lack of memory.  A value tending
towards 1 implies it failed due to external fragmentation.

For the most part, the huge page size will be the size of interest but not

mm: migration: avoid race between shift_arg_pages() and rmap_walk() during migration by not migrating temporary stacks

Page migration requires rmap to be able to find all ptes mapping a page
at all times, otherwise the migration entry can be instantiated, but it
is possible to leave one behind if the second rmap_walk fails to find
the page.  If this page is later faulted, migration_entry_to_page() will
call BUG because the page is locked indicating the page was migrated by
the migration PTE not cleaned up. For example

  kernel BUG at include/linux/swapops.h:105!
  invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
  ...
  Call Trace:
   [<ffffffff810e951a>] handle_mm_fault+0x3f8/0x76a

   [<ffffffff8100320a>] stub_execve+0x6a/0xc0
  RIP  [<ffffffff811094ff>] migration_entry_wait+0xc1/0x129

There is a race between shift_arg_pages and migration that triggers this
bug.  A temporary stack is setup during exec and later moved.  If
migration moves a page in the temporary stack and the VMA is then removed
before migration completes, the migration PTE may not be found leading to
a BUG when the stack is faulted.

This patch causes pages within the temporary stack during exec to be
skipped by migration.  It does this by marking the VMA covering the
temporary stack with an otherwise impossible combination of VMA flags.
These flags are cleared when the temporary stack is moved to its final
location.

CONFIG_MIGRATION currently depends on CONFIG_NUMA or on the architecture
being able to hot-remove memory.  The main users of page migration such as
sys_move_pages(), sys_migrate_pages() and cpuset process migration are
only beneficial on NUMA so it makes sense.

As memory compaction will operate within a zone and is useful on both NUMA
and non-NUMA systems, this patch allows CONFIG_MIGRATION to be set if the
user selects CONFIG_COMPACTION as an option.

PageAnon pages that are unmapped may or may not have an anon_vma so are
not currently migrated.  However, a swap cache page can be migrated and
fits this description.  This patch identifies page swap caches and allows
them to be migrated but ensures that no attempt to made to remap the pages
would would potentially try to access an already freed anon_vma.

rmap_walk_anon() was triggering errors in memory compaction that look like
use-after-free errors.  The problem is that between the page being
isolated from the LRU and rcu_read_lock() being taken, the mapcount of the
page dropped to 0 and the anon_vma gets freed.  This can happen during
memory compaction if pages being migrated belong to a process that exits
before migration completes.  Hence, the use-after-free race looks like

 1. Page isolated for migration
 2. Process exits
 3. page_mapcount(page) drops to zero so anon_vma was no longer reliable
 4. unmap_and_move() takes the rcu_lock but the anon_vma is already garbage
 4. call try_to_unmap, looks up tha anon_vma and "locks" it but the lock
    is garbage.

This patch checks the mapcount after the rcu lock is taken.  If the
mapcount is zero, the anon_vma is assumed to be freed and no further
action is taken.

This patchset is a memory compaction mechanism that reduces external
fragmentation memory by moving GFP_MOVABLE pages to a fewer number of
pageblocks.  The term "compaction" was chosen as there are is a number of
mechanisms that are not mutually exclusive that can be used to defragment
memory.  For example, lumpy reclaim is a form of defragmentation as was
slub "defragmentation" (really a form of targeted reclaim).  Hence, this
is called "compaction" to distinguish it from other forms of
defragmentation.

In this implementation, a full compaction run involves two scanners
operating within a zone - a migration and a free scanner.  The migration
scanner starts at the beginning of a zone and finds all movable pages
within one pageblock_nr_pages-sized area and isolates them on a
migratepages list.  The free scanner begins at the end of the zone and
searches on a per-area basis for enough free pages to migrate all the
pages on the migratepages list.  As each area is respectively migrated or
exhausted of free pages, the scanners are advanced one area.  A compaction
run completes within a zone when the two scanners meet.

This method is a bit primitive but is easy to understand and greater
sophistication would require maintenance of counters on a per-pageblock
basis.  This would have a big impact on allocator fast-paths to improve
compaction which is a poor trade-off.

It also does not try relocate virtually contiguous pages to be physically
contiguous.  However, assuming transparent hugepages were in use, a
hypothetical khugepaged might reuse compaction code to isolate free pages,
split them and relocate userspace pages for promotion.

Memory compaction can be triggered in one of three ways.  It may be
triggered explicitly by writing any value to /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory
and compacting all of memory.  It can be triggered on a per-node basis by
writing any value to /sys/devices/system/node/nodeN/compact where N is the
node ID to be compacted.  When a process fails to allocate a high-order
page, it may compact memory in an attempt to satisfy the allocation
instead of entering direct reclaim.  Explicit compaction does not finish
until the two scanners meet and direct compaction ends if a suitable page
becomes available that would meet watermarks.

The series is in 14 patches.  The first three are not "core" to the series
but are important pre-requisites.

Patch 1 reference counts anon_vma for rmap_walk_anon(). Without this
	patch, it's possible to use anon_vma after free if the caller is
	not holding a VMA or mmap_sem for the pages in question. While
	there should be no existing user that causes this problem,
	it's a requirement for memory compaction to be stable. The patch
	is at the start of the series for bisection reasons.
Patch 2 merges the KSM and migrate counts. It could be merged with patch 1
	but would be slightly harder to review.
Patch 3 skips over unmapped anon pages during migration as there are no
	guarantees about the anon_vma existing. There is a window between
	when a page was isolated and migration started during which anon_vma
	could disappear.
Patch 4 notes that PageSwapCache pages can still be migrated even if they
	are unmapped.
Patch 5 allows CONFIG_MIGRATION to be set without CONFIG_NUMA
Patch 6 exports a "unusable free space index" via debugfs. It's
	a measure of external fragmentation that takes the size of the
	allocation request into account. It can also be calculated from
	userspace so can be dropped if requested
Patch 7 exports a "fragmentation index" which only has meaning when an
	allocation request fails. It determines if an allocation failure
	would be due to a lack of memory or external fragmentation.
Patch 8 moves the definition for LRU isolation modes for use by compaction
Patch 9 is the compaction mechanism although it's unreachable at this point
Patch 10 adds a means of compacting all of memory with a proc trgger
Patch 11 adds a means of compacting a specific node with a sysfs trigger
Patch 12 adds "direct compaction" before "direct reclaim" if it is
	determined there is a good chance of success.
Patch 13 adds a sysctl that allows tuning of the threshold at which the
	kernel will compact or direct reclaim
Patch 14 temporarily disables compaction if an allocation failure occurs
	after compaction.

Testing of compaction was in three stages.  For the test, debugging,
preempt, the sleep watchdog and lockdep were all enabled but nothing nasty
popped out.  min_free_kbytes was tuned as recommended by hugeadm to help
fragmentation avoidance and high-order allocations.  It was tested on X86,
X86-64 and PPC64.

Ths first test represents one of the easiest cases that can be faced for
lumpy reclaim or memory compaction.

1. Machine freshly booted and configured for hugepage usage with
	a) hugeadm --create-global-mounts
	b) hugeadm --pool-pages-max DEFAULT:8G
	c) hugeadm --set-recommended-min_free_kbytes
	d) hugeadm --set-recommended-shmmax

	The min_free_kbytes here is important. Anti-fragmentation works best
	when pageblocks don't mix. hugeadm knows how to calculate a value that
	will significantly reduce the worst of external-fragmentation-related
	events as reported by the mm_page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint.

2. Load up memory
	a) Start updatedb
	b) Create in parallel a X files of pagesize*128 in size. Wait
	   until files are created. By parallel, I mean that 4096 instances
	   of dd were launched, one after the other using &. The crude
	   objective being to mix filesystem metadata allocations with
	   the buffer cache.
	c) Delete every second file so that pageblocks are likely to
	   have holes
	d) kill updatedb if it's still running

	At this point, the system is quiet, memory is full but it's full with
	clean filesystem metadata and clean buffer cache that is unmapped.
	This is readily migrated or discarded so you'd expect lumpy reclaim
	to have no significant advantage over compaction but this is at
	the POC stage.

3. In increments, attempt to allocate 5% of memory as hugepages.
	   Measure how long it took, how successful it was, how many
	   direct reclaims took place and how how many compactions. Note
	   the compaction figures might not fully add up as compactions
	   can take place for orders other than the hugepage size

X86				vanilla		compaction
Final page count                    913                916 (attempted 1002)
pages reclaimed                   68296               9791

X86-64				vanilla		compaction
Final page count:                   901                902 (attempted 1002)
Total pages reclaimed:           112599              53234

PPC64				vanilla		compaction
Final page count:                    93                 94 (attempted 110)
Total pages reclaimed:           103216              61838

There was not a dramatic improvement in success rates but it wouldn't be
expected in this case either.  What was important is that fewer pages were
reclaimed in all cases reducing the amount of IO required to satisfy a
huge page allocation.

The second tests were all performance related - kernbench, netperf, iozone
and sysbench.  None showed anything too remarkable.

The last test was a high-order allocation stress test.  Many kernel
compiles are started to fill memory with a pressured mix of unmovable and
movable allocations.  During this, an attempt is made to allocate 90% of
memory as huge pages - one at a time with small delays between attempts to
avoid flooding the IO queue.

                                             vanilla   compaction
Percentage of request allocated X86               98           99
Percentage of request allocated X86-64            95           98
Percentage of request allocated PPC64             55           70

This patch:

rmap_walk_anon() does not use page_lock_anon_vma() for looking up and
locking an anon_vma and it does not appear to have sufficient locking to
ensure the anon_vma does not disappear from under it.

This patch copies an approach used by KSM to take a reference on the
anon_vma while pages are being migrated.  This should prevent rmap_walk()
running into nasty surprises later because anon_vma has been freed.

There are two types of zonelist ordering methodologies:

 - node order, preferring allocations on a node to stay local to and

 - zone order, preferring allocations come from a higher zone to avoid
   allocating in lowmem zones even though they may not be local.

The ordering technique used by the kernel is configurable on the command
line, but also has some logic to determine what the default should be.

This logic currently lacks knowledge of systems where a node may only have
lowmem.  For such systems, it is necessary to use node order so that
GFP_KERNEL allocations may be satisfied by nodes consisting of only
lowmem.

If zone order is used, GFP_KERNEL allocations to such nodes are actually
allocated on a node with local affinity that includes ZONE_NORMAL.

This change defaults to node zonelist ordering if any node lacks
ZONE_NORMAL.

To force zone order, append 'numa_zonelist_order=zone' to the kernel
command line.

Before applying this patch, cpuset updates task->mems_allowed and
mempolicy by setting all new bits in the nodemask first, and clearing all
old unallowed bits later.  But in the way, the allocator may find that
there is no node to alloc memory.

The reason is that cpuset rebinds the task's mempolicy, it cleans the
nodes which the allocater can alloc pages on, for example:

(mpol: mempolicy)
	task1			task1's mpol	task2
	alloc page		1
	  alloc on node0? NO	1
				1		change mems from 1 to 0
				1		rebind task1's mpol
				0-1		  set new bits
				0	  	  clear disallowed bits
	  alloc on node1? NO	0
	  ...
	can't alloc page
	  goto oom

This patch fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set newly
allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits).  So we
use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is reading
nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes after
read-side task ends the current memory allocation.
