We have been used naming try_set_zone_oom and clear_zonelist_oom.
The role of functions is to lock of zonelist for preventing parallel
OOM. So clear_zonelist_oom makes sense but try_set_zone_oome is rather
awkward and unmatched with clear_zonelist_oom.

Let's change it with try_set_zonelist_oom.

Remove the redundancy in __oom_kill_task() since:

 - init can never be passed to this function: it will never be PF_EXITING
   or selectable from select_bad_process(), and

 - it will never be passed a task from oom_kill_task() without an ->mm
   and we're unconcerned about detachment from exiting tasks, there's no
   reason to protect them against SIGKILL or access to memory reserves.

Also moves the kernel log message to a higher level since the verbosity is
not always emitted here; we need not print an error message if an exiting
task is given a longer timeslice.

__oom_kill_task() only has a single caller, so it can be merged into that
function at the same time.

It is possible to remove the special pagefault oom handler by simply oom
locking all system zones and then calling directly into out_of_memory().

All populated zones must have ZONE_OOM_LOCKED set, otherwise there is a
parallel oom killing in progress that will lead to eventual memory freeing
so it's not necessary to needlessly kill another task.  The context in
which the pagefault is allocating memory is unknown to the oom killer, so
this is done on a system-wide level.

If a task has already been oom killed and hasn't fully exited yet, this
will be a no-op since select_bad_process() recognizes tasks across the
system with TIF_MEMDIE set.

If memory has been depleted in lowmem zones even with the protection
afforded to it by /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio, it is unlikely that
killing current users will help.  The memory is either reclaimable (or
migratable) already, in which case we should not invoke the oom killer at
all, or it is pinned by an application for I/O.  Killing such an
application may leave the hardware in an unspecified state and there is no
guarantee that it will be able to make a timely exit.

Lowmem allocations are now failed in oom conditions when __GFP_NOFAIL is
not used so that the task can perhaps recover or try again later.

Previously, the heuristic provided some protection for those tasks with
CAP_SYS_RAWIO, but this is no longer necessary since we will not be
killing tasks for the purposes of ISA allocations.

high_zoneidx is gfp_zone(gfp_flags), meaning that ZONE_NORMAL will be the
default for all allocations that are not __GFP_DMA, __GFP_DMA32,
__GFP_HIGHMEM, and __GFP_MOVABLE on kernels configured to support those
flags.  Testing for high_zoneidx being less than ZONE_NORMAL will only
return true for allocations that have either __GFP_DMA or __GFP_DMA32.

The oom killer presently kills current whenever there is no more memory
free or reclaimable on its mempolicy's nodes.  There is no guarantee that
current is a memory-hogging task or that killing it will free any
substantial amount of memory, however.

In such situations, it is better to scan the tasklist for nodes that are
allowed to allocate on current's set of nodes and kill the task with the
highest badness() score.  This ensures that the most memory-hogging task,
or the one configured by the user with /proc/pid/oom_adj, is always
selected in such scenarios.

When a task is chosen for oom kill, the oom killer first attempts to
sacrifice a child not sharing its parent's memory instead.  Unfortunately,
this often kills in a seemingly random fashion based on the ordering of
the selected task's child list.  Additionally, it is not guaranteed at all
to free a large amount of memory that we need to prevent additional oom
killing in the very near future.

Instead, we now only attempt to sacrifice the worst child not sharing its
parent's memory, if one exists.  The worst child is indicated with the
highest badness() score.  This serves two advantages: we kill a
memory-hogging task more often, and we allow the configurable
/proc/pid/oom_adj value to be considered as a factor in which child to
kill.

Reviewers may observe that the previous implementation would iterate
through the children and attempt to kill each until one was successful and
then the parent if none were found while the new code simply kills the
most memory-hogging task or the parent.  Note that the only time
oom_kill_task() fails, however, is when a child does not have an mm or has
a /proc/pid/oom_adj of OOM_DISABLE.  badness() returns 0 for both cases,
so the final oom_kill_task() will always succeed.

Tasks that do not share the same set of allowed nodes with the task that
triggered the oom should not be considered as candidates for oom kill.

Tasks in other cpusets with a disjoint set of mems would be unfairly
penalized otherwise because of oom conditions elsewhere; an extreme
example could unfairly kill all other applications on the system if a
single task in a user's cpuset sets itself to OOM_DISABLE and then uses
more memory than allowed.

Killing tasks outside of current's cpuset rarely would free memory for
current anyway.  To use a sane heuristic, we must ensure that killing a
task would likely free memory for current and avoid needlessly killing
others at all costs just because their potential memory freeing is
unknown.  It is better to kill current than another task needlessly.

It's possible to livelock the page allocator if a thread has mm->mmap_sem
and fails to make forward progress because the oom killer selects another
thread sharing the same ->mm to kill that cannot exit until the semaphore
is dropped.

The oom killer will not kill multiple tasks at the same time; each oom
killed task must exit before another task may be killed.  Thus, if one
thread is holding mm->mmap_sem and cannot allocate memory, all threads
sharing the same ->mm are blocked from exiting as well.  In the oom kill
case, that means the thread holding mm->mmap_sem will never free
additional memory since it cannot get access to memory reserves and the
thread that depends on it with access to memory reserves cannot exit
because it cannot acquire the semaphore.  Thus, the page allocators
livelocks.

When the oom killer is called and current happens to have a pending
SIGKILL, this patch automatically gives it access to memory reserves and
returns.  Upon returning to the page allocator, its allocation will
hopefully succeed so it can quickly exit and free its memory.  If not, the
page allocator will fail the allocation if it is not __GFP_NOFAIL.

dump_task() should use find_lock_task_mm() too. It is necessary for
protecting task-exiting race.

dump_tasks() currently filters any task that does not have an attached
->mm since it incorrectly assumes that it must either be in the process of
exiting and has detached its memory or that it's a kernel thread;
multithreaded tasks may actually have subthreads that have a valid ->mm
pointer and thus those threads should actually be displayed.  This change

Almost all ->mm == NULL checks in oom_kill.c are wrong.

The current code assumes that the task without ->mm has already released
its memory and ignores the process.  However this is not necessarily true
when this process is multithreaded, other live sub-threads can use this
->mm.

- Remove the "if (!p->mm)" check in select_bad_process(), it is
  just wrong.

- Add the new helper, find_lock_task_mm(), which finds the live
  thread which uses the memory and takes task_lock() to pin ->mm

- change oom_badness() to use this helper instead of just checking
  ->mm != NULL.

- As David pointed out, select_bad_process() must never choose the
  task without ->mm, but no matter what oom_badness() returns the
  task can be chosen if nothing else has been found yet.

  Change oom_badness() to return int, change it to return -1 if
  find_lock_task_mm() fails, and change select_bad_process() to
  check points >= 0.

Note! This patch is not enough, we need more changes.

	- oom_badness() was fixed, but oom_kill_task() still ignores
	  the task without ->mm

	- oom_forkbomb_penalty() should use find_lock_task_mm() too,
	  and it also needs other changes to actually find the first
	  first-descendant children

This will be addressed later.

KSM reference counts can cause an anon_vma to exist after the processe it
belongs to have already exited.  Because the anon_vma lock now lives in
the root anon_vma, we need to ensure that the root anon_vma stays around
until after all the "child" anon_vmas have been freed.

The obvious way to do this is to have a "child" anon_vma take a reference
to the root in anon_vma_fork.  When the anon_vma is freed at munmap or
process exit, we drop the refcount in anon_vma_unlink and possibly free
the root anon_vma.

The KSM anon_vma reference count function also needs to be modified to
deal with the possibility of freeing 2 levels of anon_vma.  The easiest
way to do this is to break out the KSM magic and make it generic.

When compiling without CONFIG_KSM, this code is compiled out.

Always (and only) lock the root (oldest) anon_vma whenever we do something
in an anon_vma.  The recently introduced anon_vma scalability is due to
the rmap code scanning only the VMAs that need to be scanned.  Many common
operations still took the anon_vma lock on the root anon_vma, so always
taking that lock is not expected to introduce any scalability issues.

However, always taking the same lock does mean we only need to take one
lock, which means rmap_walk on pages from any anon_vma in the vma is
excluded from occurring during an munmap, expand_stack or other operation
that needs to exclude rmap_walk and similar functions.

However, a direct pointer is safe because the root anon_vma is always the
last one that gets freed on munmap or exit, by virtue of the same_vma list
order and unlink_anon_vmas walking the list forward.

kunmap_atomic() is currently at level -4 on Rusty's "Hard To Misuse"

some architectures when CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM is set[2][3].

kunmap() takes a pointer to a struct page; kunmap_atomic(), however, takes
takes a pointer to within the page itself.  This seems to once in a while
trip people up (the convention they are following is the one from
kunmap()).

Make it much harder to misuse, by moving it to level 9 on Rusty's list[4]
("The compiler/linker won't let you get it wrong").  This is done by
refusing to build if the type of its first argument is a pointer to a
struct page.

The real kunmap_atomic() is renamed to kunmap_atomic_notypecheck()
(which is what you would call in case for some strange reason calling it
with a pointer to a struct page is not incorrect in your code).

Provide an INIT_MM_CONTEXT intializer macro which can be used to
statically initialize mm_struct:mm_context of init_mm.  This way we can
get rid of code which will do the initialization at run time (on s390).

In addition the current code can be found at a place where it is not
expected.  So let's have a common initializer which architectures
can use if needed.

This is based on a patch from Suzuki Poulose.

The start/stop_critical_timing functions for preemptirqsoff, preemptoff
and irqsoff tracers contain atomic_inc() and atomic_dec() operations.

Atomic operations use local_irq_save/restore macros to ensure atomic
access but they are traced by the same function which is causing recursion
problem.

The reason is when these tracers are turn ON then the
local_irq_save/restore macros are changed in include/linux/irqflags.h to
call trace_hardirqs_on/off which call start/stop_critical_timing.

Microblaze was affected because it uses generic atomic implementation.

|    ipmi: change device discovery order
|
|    The ipmi spec provides an ordering for si discovery.  Change the driver to
|    match, with the exception of preferring smbios to SPMI as HPs (at least)
|    contain accurate information in the former but not the latter.

so the reg spacing should be 4 instead of 1.

Try to calculate regspacing for this kind of system.

  drm: fix fallouts from slow-work -> wq conversion
  workqueue: workqueue_cpu_callback() should be cpu_notifier instead of hotcpu_notifier
  workqueue: add missing __percpu markup in kernel/workqueue.c

Commit 991ea75c (drm: use workqueue instead of slow-work), which made
drm to use wq instead of slow-work, didn't account for the return
value difference between delayed_slow_work_enqueue() and
queue_delayed_work().  The former returns 0 on success and -errno on
failures while the latter never fails and only uses the return value
to indicate whether the work was already pending or not.

This misconversion triggered spurious error messages.  Remove the now
unnecessary return value check and error message.

Commit 6ee0578b (workqueue: mark init_workqueues as early_initcall)
made workqueue SMP initialization depend on workqueue_cpu_callback(),
which however was registered as hotcpu_notifier() and didn't get
called if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not set.  This made gcwqs on non-boot
CPUs not create their initial workers leading to boot failures.  Fix
it by making it a cpu_notifier.
