1eff491fc4 doc: memcontrol: add description for oom_kill
When debugging an oom issue, I found the oom_kill counter of memcg is
confusing.  At the first glance without checking document, I thought it
just counts for memcg oom, but it turns out it counts both global and
memcg oom.

The cgroup v2 documents it, but the description is missed for cgroup v1.

05a5f51ca5 Documentation: Replace lkml.org links with lore
Replace the lkml.org links with lore to better use a single source
that's more likely to stay available long-term.

Done by bash script:

cvt_lkml_to_lore ()
{
    tmpfile=$(mktemp ./.cvt_links.XXXXXXX)

    header=$(echo $1 | sed 's@/lkml/@/lkml/headers/@')

    wget -qO - $header > $tmpfile
    if [[ $? == 0 ]] ; then
	link=$(grep -i '^Message-Id:' $tmpfile | head -1 | \
		   sed -r -e 's/^\s*Message-Id:\s*<\s*//' -e  's/\s*>\s*$//' -e 's@^@https://lore.kernel.org/r/@')
	#    echo "testlink: $link"
	if [ -n "$link" ] ; then
	    wget -qO - $link > /dev/null
	    if [[ $? == 0 ]] ; then
		echo $link
	    fi
	fi
    fi

    rm -f $tmpfile
}

git grep -P -o "\bhttps?://(?:www.)?lkml.org/lkml[\/\w]+" $@ |
    while read line ; do
	echo $line
	file=$(echo $line | cut -f1 -d':')
	link=$(echo $line | cut -f2- -d':')
	newlink=$(cvt_lkml_to_lore $link)
	if [[ -n "$newlink" ]] ; then
	    sed -i -e "s#\b$link\b#$newlink#" $file
	fi
    done

15b4473617 mm/lru: revise the comments of lru_lock
Since we changed the pgdat->lru_lock to lruvec->lru_lock, it's time to fix
the incorrect comments in code.  Also fixed some zone->lru_lock comment
error from ancient time.  etc.

I struggled to understand the comment above move_pages_to_lru() (surely
it never calls page_referenced()), and eventually realized that most of
it had got separated from shrink_active_list(): move that comment back.

0158115f70 memcg, kmem: deprecate kmem.limit_in_bytes
Cgroup v1 memcg controller has exposed a dedicated kmem limit to users
which turned out to be really a bad idea because there are paths which
cannot shrink the kernel memory usage enough to get below the limit (e.g.
because the accounted memory is not reclaimable).  There are cases when
the failure is even not allowed (e.g.  __GFP_NOFAIL).  This means that the
kmem limit is in excess to the hard limit without any way to shrink and
thus completely useless.  OOM killer cannot be invoked to handle the
situation because that would lead to a premature oom killing.

As a result many places might see ENOMEM returning from kmalloc and result
in unexpected errors.  E.g.  a global OOM killer when there is a lot of
free memory because ENOMEM is translated into VM_FAULT_OOM in #PF path and
therefore pagefault_out_of_memory would result in OOM killer.

Please note that the kernel memory is still accounted to the overall limit
along with the user memory so removing the kmem specific limit should
still allow to contain kernel memory consumption.  Unlike the kmem one,
though, it invokes memory reclaim and targeted memcg oom killing if
necessary.

Start the deprecation process by crying to the kernel log.  Let's see
whether there are relevant usecases and simply return to EINVAL in the
second stage if nobody complains in few releases.
