zap_pte_range has been counting the pages it frees in tlb->freed, then
tlb_finish_mmu has used that to update the mm's rss.  That got stranger when I
added anon_rss, yet updated it by a different route; and stranger when rss and
anon_rss became mm_counters with special access macros.  And it would no
longer be viable if we're relying on page_table_lock to stabilize the
mm_counter, but calling tlb_finish_mmu outside that lock.

Remove the mmu_gather's freed field, let tlb_finish_mmu stick to its own
business, just decrement the rss mm_counter in zap_pte_range (yes, there was
some point to batching the update, and a subsequent patch restores that).  And
forget the anal paranoia of first reading the counter to avoid going negative
- if rss does go negative, just fix that bug.

Remove the mmu_gather's flushes and avoided_flushes from arm and arm26: no use
was being made of them.  But arm26 alone was actually using the freed, in the
way some others use need_flush: give it a need_flush.  arm26 seems to prefer
spaces to tabs here: respect that.

tlb_is_full_mm?  What does that mean?  The TLB is full?  No, it means that the
mm's last user has gone and the whole mm is being torn down.  And it's an
inline function because sparc64 uses a different (slightly better)
"tlb_frozen" name for the flag others call "fullmm".

And now the ptep_get_and_clear_full macro used in zap_pte_range refers
directly to tlb->fullmm, which would be wrong for sparc64.  Rather than
correct that, I'd prefer to scrap tlb_is_full_mm altogether, and change
sparc64 to just use the same poor name as everyone else - is that okay?

tlb_gather_mmu dates from before kernel preemption was allowed, and uses
smp_processor_id or __get_cpu_var to find its per-cpu mmu_gather.  That works
because it's currently only called after getting page_table_lock, which is not
dropped until after the matching tlb_finish_mmu.  But don't rely on that, it
will soon change: now disable preemption internally by proper get_cpu_var in
tlb_gather_mmu, put_cpu_var in tlb_finish_mmu.

Speeding up mremap's moving of ptes has never been a priority, but the locking
will get more complicated shortly, and is already too baroque.

Scrap the current one-by-one moving, do an extent at a time: curtailed by end
of src and dst pmds (have to use PMD_SIZE: the way pmd_addr_end gets elided
doesn't match this usage), and by latency considerations.

One nice property of the old method is lost: it never allocated a page table
unless absolutely necessary, so you could free empty page tables by mremapping
to and fro.  Whereas this way, it allocates a dst table wherever there was a
src table.  I keep diving in to reinstate the old behaviour, then come out
preferring not to clutter how it now is.

Impose a little more consistency on the page fault handlers do_wp_page,
do_swap_page, do_anonymous_page, do_no_page, do_file_page: why not pass their
arguments in the same order, called the same names?

break_cow is all very well, but what it did was inlined elsewhere: easier to
compare if it's brought back into do_wp_page.

do_file_page's fallback to do_no_page dates from a time when we were testing
pte_file by using it wherever possible: currently it's peculiar to nonlinear
vmas, so just check that.  BUG_ON if not?  Better not, it's probably page
table corruption, so just show the pte: hmm, there's a pte_ERROR macro, let's
use that for do_wp_page's invalid pfn too.

Hah!  Someone in the ppc64 world noticed pte_ERROR was unused so removed it:
restored (and say "pud" not "pmd" in its pud_ERROR).

Divide remove_vm_struct into two parts: first anon_vma_unlink plus
unlink_file_vma, to unlink the vma from the list and tree by which rmap or
vmtruncate might find it; then remove_vma to close, fput and free.

The intention here is to do the anon_vma_unlink and unlink_file_vma earlier,
in free_pgtables before freeing any page tables: so we can be sure that any
page tables traversed by rmap and vmtruncate are stable (and other, ordinary
cases are stabilized by holding mmap_sem).

This will be crucial to traversing pgd,pud,pmd without page_table_lock.  But
testing the split-out patch showed that lifting the page_table_lock is
symbiotically necessary to make this change - the lock ordering is wrong to
move those unlinks into free_pgtables while it's under ptlock.

Martin Hicks' page cache reclaim patch added the 'may_swap' flag to the
scan_control struct; and modified shrink_list() not to add anon pages to
the swap cache if may_swap is not asserted.

Ref:  http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=111461480725322&w=4

However, further down, if the page is mapped, shrink_list() calls
try_to_unmap() which will call try_to_unmap_one() via try_to_unmap_anon ().
 try_to_unmap_one() will BUG_ON() an anon page that is NOT in the swap
cache.  Martin says he never encountered this path in his testing, but
agrees that it might happen.

This patch modifies shrink_list() to skip anon pages that are not already
in the swap cache when !may_swap, rather than just not adding them to the
cache.

It turns out that the original swap token implementation, by Song Jiang, only
enforced the swap token while the task holding the token is handling a page
fault.  This patch approximates that, without adding an additional flag to the
mm_struct, by checking whether the mm->mmap_sem is held for reading, like the
page fault code does.

This patch has the effect of automatically, and gradually, disabling the
enforcement of the swap token when there is little or no paging going on, and
"turning up" the intensity of the swap token code the more the task holding
the token is thrashing.

Thanks to Song Jiang for pointing out this aspect of the token based thrashing
control concept.

The new code shows a slight degradation over the old swap token code, but
still a big win over running without the swap token.
