      HWPoison: add memory_failure_queue() · ea8f5fb8
      Huang Ying 提交于
      memory_failure() is the entry point for HWPoison memory error
      recovery.  It must be called in process context.  But commonly
      hardware memory errors are notified via MCE or NMI, so some delayed
      execution mechanism must be used.  In MCE handler, a work queue + ring
      buffer mechanism is used.
      
      In addition to MCE, now APEI (ACPI Platform Error Interface) GHES
      (Generic Hardware Error Source) can be used to report memory errors
      too.  To add support to APEI GHES memory recovery, a mechanism similar
      to that of MCE is implemented.  memory_failure_queue() is the new
      entry point that can be called in IRQ context.  The next step is to
      make MCE handler uses this interface too.

      mm/memory-failure.c: fix page isolated count mismatch · 5db8a73a
      Minchan Kim 提交于
      Pages isolated for migration are accounted with the vmstat counters
      NR_ISOLATE_[ANON|FILE].  Callers of migrate_pages() are expected to
      increment these counters when pages are isolated from the LRU.  Once the
      pages have been migrated, they are put back on the LRU or freed and the
      isolated count is decremented.
      
      Memory failure is not properly accounting for pages it isolates causing
      the NR_ISOLATED counters to be negative.  On SMP builds, this goes
      unnoticed as negative counters are treated as 0 due to expected per-cpu
      drift.  On UP builds, the counter is treated by too_many_isolated() as a
      large value causing processes to enter D state during page reclaim or
      compaction.  This patch accounts for pages isolated by memory failure
      correctly.

      thp: fix memory-failure hugetlbfs vs THP collision · 91600e9e
      Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
      hugetlbfs was changed to allow memory failure to migrate the hugetlbfs
      pages and that broke THP as split_huge_page was then called on hugetlbfs
      pages too.
      
      compound_head/order was also run unsafe on THP pages that can be splitted
      at any time.
      
      All compound_head() invocations in memory-failure.c that are run on pages
      that aren't pinned and that can be freed and reused from under us (while
      compound_head is running) are buggy because compound_head can return a
      dangling pointer, but I'm not fixing this as this is a generic
      memory-failure bug not specific to THP but it applies to hugetlbfs too, so
      I can fix it later after THP is merged upstream.

      thp: split_huge_page paging · 3f04f62f
      Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
      Paging logic that splits the page before it is unmapped and added to swap
      to ensure backwards compatibility with the legacy swap code.  Eventually
      swap should natively pageout the hugepages to increase performance and
      decrease seeking and fragmentation of swap space.  swapoff can just skip
      over huge pmd as they cannot be part of swap yet.  In add_to_swap be
      careful to split the page only if we got a valid swap entry so we don't
      split hugepages with a full swap.
      
      In theory we could split pages before isolating them during the lru scan,
      but for khugepaged to be safe, I'm relying on either mmap_sem write mode,
      or PG_lock taken, so split_huge_page has to run either with mmap_sem
      read/write mode or PG_lock taken.  Calling it from isolate_lru_page would
      make locking more complicated, in addition to that split_huge_page would
      deadlock if called by __isolate_lru_page because it has to take the lru
      lock to add the tail pages.

      mm: migration: allow migration to operate asynchronously and avoid synchronous compaction in the faster path
      
      Migration synchronously waits for writeback if the initial passes fails.
      Callers of memory compaction do not necessarily want this behaviour if the
      caller is latency sensitive or expects that synchronous migration is not
      going to have a significantly better success rate.
      
      This patch adds a sync parameter to migrate_pages() allowing the caller to
      indicate if wait_on_page_writeback() is allowed within migration or not.
      For reclaim/compaction, try_to_compact_pages() is first called
      asynchronously, direct reclaim runs and then try_to_compact_pages() is
      called synchronously as there is a greater expectation that it'll succeed.

      mm: compaction: fix COMPACTPAGEFAILED counting · cf608ac1
      Minchan Kim 提交于
      Presently update_nr_listpages() doesn't have a role.  That's because lists
      passed is always empty just after calling migrate_pages.  The
      migrate_pages cleans up page list which have failed to migrate before
      returning by aaa994b3.
      
       [PATCH] page migration: handle freeing of pages in migrate_pages()
      
       Do not leave pages on the lists passed to migrate_pages().  Seems that we will
       not need any postprocessing of pages.  This will simplify the handling of
       pages by the callers of migrate_pages().
      
      At that time, we thought we don't need any postprocessing of pages.  But
      the situation is changed.  The compaction need to know the number of
      failed to migrate for COMPACTPAGEFAILED stat
      
      This patch makes new rule for caller of migrate_pages to call
      putback_lru_pages.  So caller need to clean up the lists so it has a
      chance to postprocess the pages.  [suggested by Christoph Lameter]

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.
