      Stop playing silly games with the VM_ACCOUNT flag · fc8744ad
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      The mmap_region() code would temporarily set the VM_ACCOUNT flag for
anonymous shared mappings just to inform shmem_zero_setup() that it
should enable accounting for the resulting shm object.  It would then
clear the flag after calling ->mmap (for the /dev/zero case) or doing
shmem_zero_setup() (for the MAP_ANON case).

This just resulted in vma merge issues, but also made for just
unnecessary confusion.  Use the already-existing VM_NORESERVE flag for
this instead, and let shmem_{zero|file}_setup() just figure it out from
that.

This also happens to make it obvious that the new DRI2 GEM layer uses a
non-reserving backing store for its object allocation - which is quite
possibly not intentional.  But since I didn't want to change semantics
in this patch, I left it alone, and just updated the caller to use the
new flag semantics.

      memcg: fix shmem's swap accounting · b5a84319
      由 KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于 
      Now, you can see following even when swap accounting is enabled.

 1. Create Group 01, and 02.
 2. allocate a "file" on tmpfs by a task under 01.
 3. swap out the "file" (by memory pressure)
 4. Read "file" from a task in group 02.
 5. the charge of "file" is moved to group 02.

This is not ideal behavior. This is because SwapCache which was loaded
by read-ahead is not taken into account..

This is a patch to fix shmem's swapcache behavior.
  - remove mem_cgroup_cache_charge_swapin().
  - Add SwapCache handler routine to mem_cgroup_cache_charge().
    By this, shmem's file cache is charged at add_to_page_cache()
    with GFP_NOWAIT.
  - pass the page of swapcache to shrink_mem_cgroup.

      memcg: revert gfp mask fix · 2c26fdd7
      由 KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于 
      My patch, memcg-fix-gfp_mask-of-callers-of-charge.patch changed gfp_mask
of callers of charge to be GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE for showing what will
happen at memory reclaim.

But in recent discussion, it's NACKed because it sounds ugly.

This patch is for reverting it and add some clean up to gfp_mask of
callers of charge.  No behavior change but need review before generating
HUNK in deep queue.

This patch also adds explanation to meaning of gfp_mask passed to charge
functions in memcontrol.h.

      memcg: handle swap caches · d13d1443
      由 KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于 
      SwapCache support for memory resource controller (memcg)

Before mem+swap controller, memcg itself should handle SwapCache in proper
way.  This is cut-out from it.

In current memcg, SwapCache is just leaked and the user can create tons of
SwapCache.  This is a leak of account and should be handled.

SwapCache accounting is done as following.

  charge (anon)
	- charged when it's mapped.
	  (because of readahead, charge at add_to_swap_cache() is not sane)
  uncharge (anon)
	- uncharged when it's dropped from swapcache and fully unmapped.
	  means it's not uncharged at unmap.
	  Note: delete from swap cache at swap-in is done after rmap information
	        is established.
  charge (shmem)
	- charged at swap-in. this prevents charge at add_to_page_cache().

  uncharge (shmem)
	- uncharged when it's dropped from swapcache and not on shmem's
	  radix-tree.

  at migration, check against 'old page' is modified to handle shmem.

Comparing to the old version discussed (and caused troubles), we have
advantages of
  - PCG_USED bit.
  - simple migrating handling.

So, situation is much easier than several months ago, maybe.

      memcg: fix gfp_mask of callers of charge · bced0520
      由 KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于 
      Fix misuse of gfp_kernel.

Now, most of callers of mem_cgroup_charge_xxx functions uses GFP_KERNEL.

I think that this is from the fact that page_cgroup *was* dynamically
allocated.

But now, we allocate all page_cgroup at boot.  And
mem_cgroup_try_to_free_pages() reclaim memory from GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE +
specified GFP_RECLAIM_MASK.

  * This is because we just want to reduce memory usage.
    "Where we should reclaim from ?" is not a problem in memcg.

This patch modifies gfp masks to be GFP_HIGUSER_MOVABLE if possible.

Note: This patch is not for fixing behavior but for showing sane information
      in source code.

      memcg: helper function for relcaim from shmem. · c9b0ed51
      由 KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于 
      A new call, mem_cgroup_shrink_usage() is added for shmem handling and
relacing non-standard usage of mem_cgroup_charge/uncharge.

Now, shmem calls mem_cgroup_charge() just for reclaim some pages from
mem_cgroup.  In general, shmem is used by some process group and not for
global resource (like file caches).  So, it's reasonable to reclaim pages
from mem_cgroup where shmem is mainly used.

This patch:

Remove refcnt from page_cgroup().

After this,

 * A page is charged only when !page_mapped() && no page_cgroup is assigned.
	* Anon page is newly mapped.
	* File page is added to mapping->tree.

 * A page is uncharged only when
	* Anon page is fully unmapped.
	* File page is removed from LRU.

There is no change in behavior from user's view.

This patch also removes unnecessary calls in rmap.c which was used only for
refcnt mangement.

      tmpfs: support aio · bcd78e49
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      We have a request for tmpfs to support the AIO interface: easily done, no
more than replacing the old shmem_file_read by shmem_file_aio_read,
cribbed from generic_file_aio_read.  (In 2.6.25 its write side was already
changed to use generic_file_aio_write.)

Incorporate cleanups from Andrew Morton and Harvey Harrison.

Tests out fine with LTP's ltp-aiodio.sh, given hacks (not included) to
support O_DIRECT.  tmpfs cannot honestly support O_DIRECT: its
cache-avoiding-IO nature is at odds with direct IO-avoiding-cache.

      mempolicy: use struct mempolicy pointer in shmem_sb_info · 71fe804b
      由 Lee Schermerhorn 提交于 
      This patch replaces the mempolicy mode, mode_flags, and nodemask in the
shmem_sb_info struct with a struct mempolicy pointer, initialized to NULL.
This removes dependency on the details of mempolicy from shmem.c and hugetlbfs
inode.c and simplifies the interfaces.

mpol_parse_str() in mempolicy.c is changed to return, via a pointer to a
pointer arg, a struct mempolicy pointer on success.  For MPOL_DEFAULT, the
returned pointer is NULL.  Further, mpol_parse_str() now takes a 'no_context'
argument that causes the input nodemask to be stored in the w.user_nodemask of
the created mempolicy for use when the mempolicy is installed in a tmpfs inode
shared policy tree.  At that time, any cpuset contextualization is applied to
the original input nodemask.  This preserves the previous behavior where the
input nodemask was stored in the superblock.  We can think of the returned
mempolicy as "context free".

Because mpol_parse_str() is now calling mpol_new(), we can remove from
mpol_to_str() the semantic checks that mpol_new() already performs.

Add 'no_context' parameter to mpol_to_str() to specify that it should format
the nodemask in w.user_nodemask for 'bind' and 'interleave' policies.

Change mpol_shared_policy_init() to take a pointer to a "context free" struct
mempolicy and to create a new, "contextualized" mempolicy using the mode,
mode_flags and user_nodemask from the input mempolicy.

  Note: we know that the mempolicy passed to mpol_to_str() or
  mpol_shared_policy_init() from a tmpfs superblock is "context free".  This
  is currently the only instance thereof.  However, if we found more uses for
  this concept, and introduced any ambiguity as to whether a mempolicy was
  context free or not, we could add another internal mode flag to identify
  context free mempolicies.  Then, we could remove the 'no_context' argument
  from mpol_to_str().

Added shmem_get_sbmpol() to return a reference counted superblock mempolicy,
if one exists, to pass to mpol_shared_policy_init().  We must add the
reference under the sb stat_lock to prevent races with replacement of the mpol
by remount.  This reference is removed in mpol_shared_policy_init().

      mempolicy: rework shmem mpol parsing and display · 095f1fc4
      由 Lee Schermerhorn 提交于 
      mm/shmem.c currently contains functions to parse and display memory policy
strings for the tmpfs 'mpol' mount option.  Move this to mm/mempolicy.c with
the rest of the mempolicy support.  With subsequent patches, we'll be able to
remove knowledge of the details [mode, flags, policy, ...] completely from
shmem.c

1) replace shmem_parse_mpol() in mm/shmem.c with mpol_parse_str() in
   mm/mempolicy.c.  Rework to use the policy_types[] array [used by
   mpol_to_str()] to look up mode by name.

2) use mpol_to_str() to format policy for shmem_show_mpol().  mpol_to_str()
   expects a pointer to a struct mempolicy, so temporarily construct one.
   This will be replaced with a reference to a struct mempolicy in the tmpfs
   superblock in a subsequent patch.

   NOTE 1: I changed mpol_to_str() to use a colon ':' rather than an equal
   sign '=' as the nodemask delimiter to match mpol_parse_str() and the
   tmpfs/shmem mpol mount option formatting that now uses mpol_to_str().  This
   is a user visible change to numa_maps, but then the addition of the mode
   flags already changed the display.  It makes sense to me to have the mounts
   and numa_maps display the policy in the same format.  However, if anyone
   objects strongly, I can pass the desired nodemask delimeter as an arg to
   mpol_to_str().

   Note 2: Like show_numa_map(), I don't check the return code from
   mpol_to_str().  I do use a longer buffer than the one provided by
   show_numa_map(), which seems to have sufficed so far.

      mempolicy: rework mempolicy Reference Counting [yet again] · 52cd3b07
      由 Lee Schermerhorn 提交于 
      After further discussion with Christoph Lameter, it has become clear that my
earlier attempts to clean up the mempolicy reference counting were a bit of
overkill in some areas, resulting in superflous ref/unref in what are usually
fast paths.  In other areas, further inspection reveals that I botched the
unref for interleave policies.

A separate patch, suitable for upstream/stable trees, fixes up the known
errors in the previous attempt to fix reference counting.

This patch reworks the memory policy referencing counting and, one hopes,
simplifies the code.  Maybe I'll get it right this time.

See the update to the numa_memory_policy.txt document for a discussion of
memory policy reference counting that motivates this patch.

Summary:

Lookup of mempolicy, based on (vma, address) need only add a reference for
shared policy, and we need only unref the policy when finished for shared
policies.  So, this patch backs out all of the unneeded extra reference
counting added by my previous attempt.  It then unrefs only shared policies
when we're finished with them, using the mpol_cond_put() [conditional put]
helper function introduced by this patch.

Note that shmem_swapin() calls read_swap_cache_async() with a dummy vma
containing just the policy.  read_swap_cache_async() can call alloc_page_vma()
multiple times, so we can't let alloc_page_vma() unref the shared policy in
this case.  To avoid this, we make a copy of any non-null shared policy and
remove the MPOL_F_SHARED flag from the copy.  This copy occurs before reading
a page [or multiple pages] from swap, so the overhead should not be an issue
here.

I introduced a new static inline function "mpol_cond_copy()" to copy the
shared policy to an on-stack policy and remove the flags that would require a
conditional free.  The current implementation of mpol_cond_copy() assumes that
the struct mempolicy contains no pointers to dynamically allocated structures
that must be duplicated or reference counted during copy.

      mempolicy: rename mpol_free to mpol_put · f0be3d32
      由 Lee Schermerhorn 提交于 
      This is a change that was requested some time ago by Mel Gorman.  Makes sense
to me, so here it is.

Note: I retain the name "mpol_free_shared_policy()" because it actually does
free the shared_policy, which is NOT a reference counted object.  However, ...

The mempolicy object[s] referenced by the shared_policy are reference counted,
so mpol_put() is used to release the reference held by the shared_policy.  The
mempolicy might not be freed at this time, because some task attached to the
shared object associated with the shared policy may be in the process of
allocating a page based on the mempolicy.  In that case, the task performing
the allocation will hold a reference on the mempolicy, obtained via
mpol_shared_policy_lookup().  The mempolicy will be freed when all tasks
holding such a reference have called mpol_put() for the mempolicy.

      mempolicy: fix parsing of tmpfs mpol mount option · a43361cf
      由 Lee Schermerhorn 提交于 
      Parsing of new mode flags in the tmpfs mpol mount option is slightly broken:

Setting a valid flag works OK:
	#mount -o remount,mpol=bind=static:1-2 /dev/shm
	#mount
	...
	tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,mpol=bind=static:1-2)
	...

However, we can't remove them or change them, once we've
set a valid flag:

	#mount -o remount,mpol=bind:1-2 /dev/shm
	#mount
	...
	tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,mpol=bind:1-2)
	...

It SAYS it removed it, but that's just a copy of the input
string.  If we now try to set it to a different flag, we
get:

	#mount -o remount,mpol=bind=relative:1-2 /dev/shm
	mount: /dev/shm not mounted already, or bad option

And on the console, we see:
	tmpfs: Bad value 'bind' for mount option 'mpol'
	                      ^ lost remainder of string

Furthermore, bogus flags are accepted with out error.
Granted, they are a no-op:

	#mount -o remount,mpol=interleave=foo:0-3 /dev/shm
	#mount
	...
	tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,mpol=interleave=foo:0-3)

Again, that's just a copy of the input string shown by the mount command.

This patch fixes the behavior by pre-zeroing the flags so that only one of the
mutually exclusive flags can be set at one time.  It also reports an error
when an unrecognized flag is specified.

The check for both flags being set is removed because it can't happen with
this implementation.  If we ever want to support multiple non-exclusive flags,
this area will need rework and we will need to check that any mutually
exclusive flags aren't specified.

      mempolicy: add MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES flag · 4c50bc01
      由 David Rientjes 提交于 
      Adds another optional mode flag, MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES, that specifies
nodemasks passed via set_mempolicy() or mbind() should be considered relative
to the current task's mems_allowed.

When the mempolicy is created, the passed nodemask is folded and mapped onto
the current task's mems_allowed.  For example, consider a task using
set_mempolicy() to pass MPOL_INTERLEAVE | MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES with a
nodemask of 1-3.  If current's mems_allowed is 4-7, the effected nodemask is
5-7 (the second, third, and fourth node of mems_allowed).

If the same task is attached to a cpuset, the mempolicy nodemask is rebound
each time the mems are changed.  Some possible rebinds and results are:

	mems			result
	1-3			1-3
	1-7			2-4
	1,5-6			1,5-6
	1,5-7			5-7

Likewise, the zonelist built for MPOL_BIND acts on the set of zones assigned
to the resultant nodemask from the relative remap.

In the MPOL_PREFERRED case, the preferred node is remapped from the currently
effected nodemask to the relative nodemask.

This mempolicy mode flag was conceived of by Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com>.

      mempolicy: add MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES flag · f5b087b5
      由 David Rientjes 提交于 
      Add an optional mempolicy mode flag, MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES, that suppresses the
node remap when the policy is rebound.

Adds another member to struct mempolicy, nodemask_t user_nodemask, as part of
a union with cpuset_mems_allowed:

	struct mempolicy {
		...
		union {
			nodemask_t cpuset_mems_allowed;
			nodemask_t user_nodemask;
		} w;
	}

that stores the the nodemask that the user passed when he or she created the
mempolicy via set_mempolicy() or mbind().  When using MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES,
which is passed with any mempolicy mode, the user's passed nodemask
intersected with the VMA or task's allowed nodes is always used when
determining the preferred node, setting the MPOL_BIND zonelist, or creating
the interleave nodemask.  This happens whenever the policy is rebound,
including when a task's cpuset assignment changes or the cpuset's mems are
changed.

This creates an interesting side-effect in that it allows the mempolicy
"intent" to lie dormant and uneffected until it has access to the node(s) that
it desires.  For example, if you currently ask for an interleaved policy over
a set of nodes that you do not have access to, the mempolicy is not created
and the task continues to use the previous policy.  With this change, however,
it is possible to create the same mempolicy; it is only effected when access
to nodes in the nodemask is acquired.

It is also possible to mount tmpfs with the static nodemask behavior when
specifying a node or nodemask.  To do this, simply add "=static" immediately
following the mempolicy mode at mount time:

	mount -o remount mpol=interleave=static:1-3

Also removes mpol_check_policy() and folds its logic into mpol_new() since it
is now obsoleted.  The unused vma_mpol_equal() is also removed.

      mempolicy: support optional mode flags · 028fec41
      由 David Rientjes 提交于 
      With the evolution of mempolicies, it is necessary to support mempolicy mode
flags that specify how the policy shall behave in certain circumstances.  The
most immediate need for mode flag support is to suppress remapping the
nodemask of a policy at the time of rebind.

Both the mempolicy mode and flags are passed by the user in the 'int policy'
formal of either the set_mempolicy() or mbind() syscall.  A new constant,
MPOL_MODE_FLAGS, represents the union of legal optional flags that may be
passed as part of this int.  Mempolicies that include illegal flags as part of
their policy are rejected as invalid.

An additional member to struct mempolicy is added to support the mode flags:

	struct mempolicy {
		...
		unsigned short policy;
		unsigned short flags;
	}

The splitting of the 'int' actual passed by the user is done in
sys_set_mempolicy() and sys_mbind() for their respective syscalls.  This is
done by intersecting the actual with MPOL_MODE_FLAGS, rejecting the syscall of
there are additional flags, and storing it in the new 'flags' member of struct
mempolicy.  The intersection of the actual with ~MPOL_MODE_FLAGS is stored in
the 'policy' member of the struct and all current users of pol->policy remain
unchanged.

The union of the policy mode and optional mode flags is passed back to the
user in get_mempolicy().

This combination of mode and flags within the same actual does not break
userspace code that relies on get_mempolicy(&policy, ...) and either

	switch (policy) {
	case MPOL_BIND:
		...
	case MPOL_INTERLEAVE:
		...
	};

statements or

	if (policy == MPOL_INTERLEAVE) {
		...
	}

statements.  Such applications would need to use optional mode flags when
calling set_mempolicy() or mbind() for these previously implemented statements
to stop working.  If an application does start using optional mode flags, it
will need to mask the optional flags off the policy in switch and conditional
statements that only test mode.

An additional member is also added to struct shmem_sb_info to store the
optional mode flags.

      mempolicy: convert MPOL constants to enum · a3b51e01
      由 David Rientjes 提交于 
      The mempolicy mode constants, MPOL_DEFAULT, MPOL_PREFERRED, MPOL_BIND, and
MPOL_INTERLEAVE, are better declared as part of an enum since they are
sequentially numbered and cannot be combined.

The policy member of struct mempolicy is also converted from type short to
type unsigned short.  A negative policy does not have any legitimate meaning,
so it is possible to change its type in preparation for adding optional mode
flags later.

The equivalent member of struct shmem_sb_info is also changed from int to
unsigned short.

For compatibility, the policy formal to get_mempolicy() remains as a pointer
to an int:

	int get_mempolicy(int *policy, unsigned long *nmask,
			  unsigned long maxnode, unsigned long addr,
			  unsigned long flags);

although the only possible values is the range of type unsigned short.

      memcgroup: fix hang with shmem/tmpfs · 82369553
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      The memcgroup regime relies upon a cgroup reclaiming pages from itself within
add_to_page_cache: which may involve some waiting.  Whereas shmem and tmpfs
rely upon using add_to_page_cache while holding a spinlock: when it cannot
wait.  The consequence is that when a cgroup reaches its limit, shmem_getpage
just hangs - unless there is outside memory pressure too, neither kswapd nor
radix_tree_preload get it out of the retry loop.

In most cases we can mem_cgroup_cache_charge the page waitably first, to
attach the page_cgroup in advance, so add_to_page_cache will do no more than
increment a count; then mem_cgroup_uncharge_page after (in both success and
failure cases) to balance the books again.

And where there used to be a congestion_wait for kswapd (recently made
redundant by radix_tree_preload), use mem_cgroup_cache_charge with NULL page
to go through a cycle of allocation and freeing, without accounting to any
particular page, and without updating the statistics vector.  This brings the
cgroup below its limit so the next try usually succeeds.

      VFS/Security: Rework inode_getsecurity and callers to return resulting buffer · 42492594
      由 David P. Quigley 提交于 
      This patch modifies the interface to inode_getsecurity to have the function
return a buffer containing the security blob and its length via parameters
instead of relying on the calling function to give it an appropriately sized
buffer.

Security blobs obtained with this function should be freed using the
release_secctx LSM hook.  This alleviates the problem of the caller having to
guess a length and preallocate a buffer for this function allowing it to be
used elsewhere for Labeled NFS.

The patch also removed the unused err parameter.  The conversion is similar to
the one performed by Al Viro for the security_getprocattr hook.

      tmpfs: fix shmem_swaplist races · 1b1b32f2
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      Intensive swapoff testing shows shmem_unuse spinning on an entry in
shmem_swaplist pointing to itself: how does that come about?  Days pass...

First guess is this: shmem_delete_inode tests list_empty without taking the
global mutex (so the swapping case doesn't slow down the common case); but
there's an instant in shmem_unuse_inode's list_move_tail when the list entry
may appear empty (a rare case, because it's actually moving the head not the
the list member).  So there's a danger of leaving the inode on the swaplist
when it's freed, then reinitialized to point to itself when reused.  Fix that
by skipping the list_move_tail when it's a no-op, which happens to plug this.

But this same spinning then surfaces on another machine.  Ah, I'd never
suspected it, but shmem_writepage's swaplist manipulation is unsafe: though we
still hold page lock, which would hold off inode deletion if the page were in
pagecache, it doesn't hold off once it's in swapcache (free_swap_and_cache
doesn't wait on locked pages).  Hmm: we could put the the inode on swaplist
earlier, but then shmem_unuse_inode could never prune unswapped inodes.

Fix this with an igrab before dropping info->lock, as in shmem_unuse_inode;
though I am a little uneasy about the iput which has to follow - it works, and
I see nothing wrong with it, but it is surprising that shmem inode deletion
may now occur below shmem_writepage.  Revisit this fix later?

And while we're looking at these races: the way shmem_unuse tests swapped
without holding info->lock looks unsafe, if we've more than one swap area: a
racing shmem_writepage on another page of the same inode could be putting it
in swapcache, just as we're deciding to remove the inode from swaplist -
there's a danger of going on swap without being listed, so a later swapoff
would hang, being unable to locate the entry.  Move that test and removal down
into shmem_unuse_inode, once info->lock is held.

      tmpfs: radix_tree_preloading · b409f9fc
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      Nick has observed that shmem.c still uses GFP_ATOMIC when adding to page cache
or swap cache, without any radix tree preload: so tending to deplete emergency
reserves of memory.

GFP_ATOMIC remains appropriate in shmem_writepage's add_to_swap_cache: it's
being called under memory pressure, so must not wait for more memory to become
available.  But shmem_unuse_inode now has a window in which it can and should
preload with GFP_KERNEL, and say GFP_NOWAIT instead of GFP_ATOMIC in its
add_to_page_cache.

shmem_getpage is not so straightforward: its filepage/swappage integrity
relies upon exchanging between caches under spinlock, and it would need a lot
of restructuring to place the preloads correctly.  Instead, follow its pattern
of retrying on races: use GFP_NOWAIT instead of GFP_ATOMIC in
add_to_page_cache, and begin each circuit of the repeat loop with a sleeping
radix_tree_preload, followed immediately by radix_tree_preload_end - that
won't guarantee success in the next add_to_page_cache, but doesn't need to.

And we can then remove that bothersome congestion_wait: when needed, it'll
automatically get done in the course of the radix_tree_preload.

      tmpfs: open a window in shmem_unuse_inode · 2e0e26c7
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      There are a couple of reasons (patches follow) why it would be good to open a
window for sleep in shmem_unuse_inode, between its search for a matching swap
entry, and its handling of the entry found.

shmem_unuse_inode must then use igrab to hold the inode against deletion in
that window, and its corresponding iput might result in deletion: so it had
better unlock_page before the iput, and might as well release the page too.

Nor is there any need to hold on to shmem_swaplist_mutex once we know we'll
leave the loop.  So this unwinding moves from try_to_unuse and shmem_unuse
into shmem_unuse_inode, in the case when it finds a match.

Let try_to_unuse break on error in the shmem_unuse case, as it does in the
unuse_mm case: though at this point in the series, no error to break on.
