Newly allocated objects are more likely to be reported as false
positives. Kmemleak ignores the reporting of objects younger than 5
seconds. However, this age was calculated after the memory scanning
completed which usually takes longer than 5 seconds. This patch
make the minimum object age calculation in relation to the start of the
memory scanning.

Since there is a kernel thread for automatically scanning the memory, it
makes sense for the debug/kmemleak file to only show its findings. This
patch also adds support for "echo scan > debug/kmemleak" to trigger an
intermediate memory scan and eliminates the kmemleak_mutex (scan_mutex
covers all the cases now).

Because of false positives, the memory scanning thread may print too
much information. This patch changes the scanning thread to only print
the number of newly suspected leaks. Further information can be read

Jesper noted that kmem_cache_destroy() invokes synchronize_rcu() rather than
rcu_barrier() in the SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU case, which could result in RCU

With the introduction of follow_pfn() as an exported symbol, modules have
begun making use of it. Unfortunately this was not reflected on nommu at
the time, so the in-tree users have subsequently all blown up with link
errors there.
This provides a simple follow_pfn() that just returns addr >> PAGE_SHIFT,
which will do the right thing on nommu. There is no need to do range
checking within the vma, as the find_vma() case will already take care of
this.

Kmemleak needs to track all the memory allocations but some of these
happen before kmemleak is initialised. These are stored in an internal

Currently, the following three different ways to define percpu arrays
are in use.
1. DEFINE_PER_CPU(elem_type[array_len], array_name);
2. DEFINE_PER_CPU(elem_type, array_name[array_len]);
3. DEFINE_PER_CPU(elem_type, array_name)[array_len];
Unify to #1 which correctly separates the roles of the two parameters
and thus allows more flexibility in the way percpu variables are
defined.

This patch makes most !CONFIG_HAVE_SETUP_PER_CPU_AREA archs use
dynamic percpu allocator. The first chunk is allocated using
embedding helper and 8k is reserved for modules. This ensures that
the new allocator behaves almost identically to the original allocator
as long as static percpu variables are concerned, so it shouldn't
introduce much breakage.
s390 and alpha use custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() to work around addressing
range limit the addressing model imposes. Unfortunately, this breaks
if the address is specified using a variable, so for now, the two
archs aren't converted.
The following architectures are affected by this change.
* sh
* arm
* cris
* mips
* sparc(32)
* blackfin
* avr32
* parisc (broken, under investigation)
* m32r
* powerpc(32)
As this change makes the dynamic allocator the default one,
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA is replaced with its invert -
CONFIG_HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA, which is added to yet-to-be converted
archs. These archs implement their own setup_per_cpu_areas() and the
conversion is not trivial.
* powerpc(64)
* sparc(64)
* ia64
* alpha
* s390
Boot and batch alloc/free tests on x86_32 with debug code (x86_32
doesn't use default first chunk initialization). Compile tested on
sparc(32), powerpc(32), arm and alpha.
Kyle McMartin reported that this change breaks parisc. The problem is
still under investigation and he is okay with pushing this patch
forward and fixing parisc later.

If a processor is downed then we need to set the pageset pointer back to

If a kthread happens to use get_user_pages() on an mm (as KSM does),
there's a chance that it will end up trying to read in a swap page, then
oops in grab_swap_token() because the kthread has no mm: GUP passes down
the right mm, so grab_swap_token() ought to be using it.
We have not identified a stronger case than KSM's daemon (not yet in
mainline), but the issue must have come up before, since RHEL has included
a fix for this for years (though a different fix, they just back out of
grab_swap_token if current->mm is unset: which is what we first proposed,
but using the right mm here seems more correct).

According to Andi, it isn't clear whether lpage allocator is worth the
trouble as there are many processors where PMD TLB is far scarcer than
PTE TLB. The advantage or disadvantage probably depends on the actual
size of percpu area and specific processor. As performance
degradation due to TLB pressure tends to be highly workload specific
and subtle, it is difficult to decide which way to go without more
data.
This patch implements percpu_alloc kernel parameter to allow selecting
which first chunk allocator to use to ease debugging and testing.
While at it, make sure all the failure paths report why something
failed to help determining why certain allocator isn't working. Also,
kill the "Great future plan" comment which had already been realized
quite some time ago.

This allows the callers to now pass down the full set of FAULT_FLAG_xyz
flags to handle_mm_fault(). All callers have been (mechanically)

The fault handling routines really want more fine-grained flags than a
single "was it a write fault" boolean - the callers will want to set
flags like "you can return a retry error" etc.
And that's actually how the VM works internally, but right now the
top-level fault handling functions in mm/memory.c all pass just the
'write_access' boolean around.
This switches them over to pass around the FAULT_FLAG_xyzzy 'flags'
variable instead. The 'write_access' calling convention still exists
for the exported 'handle_mm_fault()' function, but that is next.

Now, at __isolate_lru_page() retruns -EBUSY, the page is rotated to the

A user can set memcg.limit_in_bytes == memcg.memsw.limit_in_bytes when the
user just want to limit the total size of applications, in other words,
not very interested in memory usage itself. In this case, swap-out will
be done only by global-LRU.
But, under current implementation, memory.limit_in_bytes is checked at
first and try_to_free_page() may do swap-out. But, that swap-out is
useless for memsw.limit_in_bytes and the thread may hit limit again.
This patch tries to fix the current behavior at memory.limit ==
memsw.limit case. And documentation is updated to explain the behavior of
this special case.

This patch fixes mis-accounting of swap usage in memcg.
In the current implementation, memcg's swap account is uncharged only when
swap is completely freed. But there are several cases where swap cannot
be freed cleanly. For handling that, this patch changes that memcg
uncharges swap account when swap has no references other than cache.
By this, memcg's swap entry accounting can be fully synchronous with the
application's behavior.

At lumpy reclaim, a page failed to be taken by __isolate_lru_page() can be
pushed back to "src" list by list_move(). But the page may not be from
"src" list. This pushes the page back to wrong LRU. And list_move()
itself is unnecessary because the page is not on top of LRU. Then, leave
it as it is if __isolate_lru_page() fails.

On NUMA machines, the administrator can configure zone_reclaim_mode that
is a more targetted form of direct reclaim. On machines with large NUMA
distances for example, a zone_reclaim_mode defaults to 1 meaning that
clean unmapped pages will be reclaimed if the zone watermarks are not
being met.
There is a heuristic that determines if the scan is worthwhile but it is
possible that the heuristic will fail and the CPU gets tied up scanning
uselessly. Detecting the situation requires some guesswork and
experimentation so this patch adds a counter "zreclaim_failed" to
/proc/vmstat. If during high CPU utilisation this counter is increasing
rapidly, then the resolution to the problem may be to set
/proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode to 0.

because it has been considered full. Take a situation where a large tmpfs
mount is occuping a large percentage of memory overall. The pages do not
get cleaned or reclaimed by zone_reclaim(), but the zone gets marked full
and the zonelist cache considers them not worth trying in the future.
This patch makes zone_reclaim() return more fine-grained information about
what occured when zone_reclaim() failued. The zone only gets marked full
if it really is unreclaimable. If it's a case that the scan did not occur
or if enough pages were not reclaimed with the limited reclaim_mode, then
the zone is simply skipped.
There is a side-effect to this patch. Currently, if zone_reclaim()
successfully reclaimed SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, an allocation attempt would go
ahead. With this patch applied, zone watermarks are rechecked after
zone_reclaim() does some work.
This bug was introduced by commit 9276b1bc96a132f4068fdee00983c532f43d3a26
("memory page_alloc zonelist caching speedup") way back in 2.6.19 when the
zonelist_cache was introduced. It was not intended that zone_reclaim()
aggressively consider the zone to be full when it failed as full direct
reclaim can still be an option. Due to the age of the bug, it should be
considered a -stable candidate.

A bug was brought to my attention against a distro kernel but it affects
mainline and I believe problems like this have been reported in various
guises on the mailing lists although I don't have specific examples at the
moment.
The reported problem was that malloc() stalled for a long time (minutes in
some cases) if a large tmpfs mount was occupying a large percentage of
memory overall. The pages did not get cleaned or reclaimed by
zone_reclaim() because the zone_reclaim_mode was unsuitable, but the lists
are uselessly scanned frequencly making the CPU spin at near 100%.
This patchset intends to address that bug and bring the behaviour of
zone_reclaim() more in line with expectations which were noticed during
investigation. It is based on top of mmotm and takes advantage of
Kosaki's work with respect to zone_reclaim().
Patch 1 fixes the heuristics that zone_reclaim() uses to determine if the
scan should go ahead. The broken heuristic is what was causing the
malloc() stall as it uselessly scanned the LRU constantly. Currently,
zone_reclaim is assuming zone_reclaim_mode is 1 and historically it
could not deal with tmpfs pages at all. This fixes up the heuristic so
that an unnecessary scan is more likely to be correctly avoided.
Patch 2 notes that zone_reclaim() returning a failure automatically means
the zone is marked full. This is not always true. It could have
failed because the GFP mask or zone_reclaim_mode were unsuitable.
Patch 3 introduces a counter zreclaim_failed that will increment each
time the zone_reclaim scan-avoidance heuristics fail. If that
counter is rapidly increasing, then zone_reclaim_mode should be
set to 0 as a temporarily resolution and a bug reported because
the scan-avoidance heuristic is still broken.
This patch:
On NUMA machines, the administrator can configure zone_reclaim_mode that
is a more targetted form of direct reclaim. On machines with large NUMA
distances for example, a zone_reclaim_mode defaults to 1 meaning that
clean unmapped pages will be reclaimed if the zone watermarks are not
being met.
There is a heuristic that determines if the scan is worthwhile but the
problem is that the heuristic is not being properly applied and is
basically assuming zone_reclaim_mode is 1 if it is enabled. The lack of
proper detection can manfiest as high CPU usage as the LRU list is scanned
uselessly.
Historically, once enabled it was depending on NR_FILE_PAGES which may
include swapcache pages that the reclaim_mode cannot deal with. Patch
vmscan-change-the-number-of-the-unmapped-files-in-zone-reclaim.patch by
Kosaki Motohiro noted that zone_page_state(zone, NR_FILE_PAGES) included
pages that were not file-backed such as swapcache and made a calculation
based on the inactive, active and mapped files. This is far superior when
zone_reclaim==1 but if RECLAIM_SWAP is set, then NR_FILE_PAGES is a
reasonable starting figure.
This patch alters how zone_reclaim() works out how many pages it might be
able to reclaim given the current reclaim_mode. If RECLAIM_SWAP is set in
the reclaim_mode it will either consider NR_FILE_PAGES as potential
candidates or else use NR_{IN}ACTIVE}_PAGES-NR_FILE_MAPPED to discount
swapcache and other non-file-backed pages. If RECLAIM_WRITE is not set,
then NR_FILE_DIRTY number of pages are not candidates. If RECLAIM_SWAP is
not set, then NR_FILE_MAPPED are not.

When a task is chosen for oom kill and is found to be PF_EXITING,
__oom_kill_task() is called to elevate the task's timeslice and give it
access to memory reserves so that it may quickly exit.
This privilege is unnecessary, however, if the task has already detached
its mm. Although its possible for the mm to become detached later since
task_lock() is not held, __oom_kill_task() will simply be a no-op in such
circumstances.
Subsequently, it is no longer necessary to warn about killing mm-less
tasks since it is a no-op.

Commit 2e2e425989080cc534fc0fca154cae515f971cf5 ("vmscan,memcg:
reintroduce sc->may_swap) add may_swap flag and handle it at
get_scan_ratio().
But the result of get_scan_ratio() is ignored when priority == 0, so anon
lru is scanned even if may_swap == 0 or nr_swap_pages == 0. IMHO, this is
not an expected behavior.
As for memcg especially, because of this behavior many and many pages are
swapped-out just in vain when oom is invoked by mem+swap limit.
This patch is for handling may_swap flag more strictly.
