Commit 79dfdaccd1 ("memcg: make oom_lock 0 and 1 based rather than
counter") tried to oom lock the hierarchy and roll back upon
encountering an already locked memcg.
The code is confused when it comes to detecting a locked memcg, though,
so it would fail and rollback after locking one memcg and encountering
an unlocked second one.
The result is that oom-locking hierarchies fails unconditionally and
that every oom killer invocation simply goes to sleep on the oom
waitqueue forever. The tasks practically hang forever without anyone
intervening, possibly holding locks that trip up unrelated tasks, too.

ZONE_CONGESTED is only cleared in kswapd, but pages can be freed in any
task. It's possible ZONE_CONGESTED isn't cleared in some cases:
1. the zone is already balanced just entering balance_pgdat() for
order-0 because concurrent tasks free memory. In this case, later
check will skip the zone as it's balanced so the flag isn't cleared.
2. high order balance fallbacks to order-0. quote from Mel: At the
end of balance_pgdat(), kswapd uses the following logic;
If reclaiming at high order {
for each zone {
if all_unreclaimable
skip
if watermark is not met
order = 0
loop again
/* watermark is met */
clear congested
}
}
i.e. it clears ZONE_CONGESTED if it the zone is balanced. if not,
it restarts balancing at order-0. However, if the higher zones are
balanced for order-0, kswapd will miss clearing ZONE_CONGESTED as
that only happens after a zone is shrunk. This can mean that
wait_iff_congested() stalls unnecessarily.
This patch makes kswapd clear ZONE_CONGESTED during its initial
highmem->dma scan for zones that are already balanced.

Commit d1a05b6973 ("memcg do not try to drain per-cpu caches without
pages") added a drain_local_stock() call to a preemptible section.
The draining task looks up the cpu-local stock twice to set the
draining-flag, then to drain the stock and clear the flag again. If the
task is migrated to a different CPU in between, noone will clear the
flag on the first stock and it will be forever undrainable. Its charge
can not be recovered and the cgroup can not be deleted anymore.
Properly pin the task to the executing CPU while draining stocks.

Revert the pass-good area introduced in ffd1f609ab ("writeback:
introduce max-pause and pass-good dirty limits") and make the max-pause
area smaller and safe.
This fixes ~30% performance regression in the ext3 data=writeback
fio_mmap_randwrite_64k/fio_mmap_randrw_64k test cases, where there are
12 JBOD disks, on each disk runs 8 concurrent tasks doing reads+writes.
Using deadline scheduler also has a regression, but not that big as CFQ,
so this suggests we have some write starvation.
The test logs show that
- the disks are sometimes under utilized
- global dirty pages sometimes rush high to the pass-good area for
several hundred seconds, while in the mean time some bdi dirty pages
drop to very low value (bdi_dirty << bdi_thresh). Then suddenly the
global dirty pages dropped under global dirty threshold and bdi_dirty
rush very high (for example, 2 times higher than bdi_thresh). During
which time balance_dirty_pages() is not called at all.
So the problems are
1) The random writes progress so slow that they break the assumption of
the max-pause logic that "8 pages per 200ms is typically more than
enough to curb heavy dirtiers".
2) The max-pause logic ignored task_bdi_thresh and thus opens the possibility
for some bdi's to over dirty pages, leading to (bdi_dirty >> bdi_thresh)
and then (bdi_thresh >> bdi_dirty) for others.
3) The higher max-pause/pass-good thresholds somehow leads to the bad
swing of dirty pages.
The fix is to allow the task to slightly dirty over task_bdi_thresh, but
no way to exceed bdi_dirty and/or global dirty_thresh.
Tests show that it fixed the JBOD regression completely (both behavior
and performance), while still being able to cut down large pause times
in balance_dirty_pages() for single-disk cases.

Commit db64fe0225 ("mm: rewrite vmap layer") introduced code that does
address calculations under the assumption that VMAP_BLOCK_SIZE is a
power of two. However, this might not be true if CONFIG_NR_CPUS is not
set to a power of two.
Wrong vmap_block index/offset values could lead to memory corruption.
However, this has never been observed in practice (or never been
diagnosed correctly); what caught this was the BUG_ON in vb_alloc() that
checks for inconsistent vmap_block indices.
To fix this, ensure that VMAP_BLOCK_SIZE always is a power of two.

There is also a theoretical chance that the cached memcg gets freed

deactivate_slab() has the comparison if more than the minimum number of
partial pages are in the partial list wrong. An effect of this may be that
empty pages are not freed from deactivate_slab(). The result could be an
OOM due to growth of the partial slabs per node. Frees mostly occur from
__slab_free which is okay so this would only affect use cases where a lot
of switching around of per cpu slabs occur.
Switching per cpu slabs occurs with high frequency if debugging options are

The check_bytes() function is used by slub debugging. It returns a pointer
to the first unmatching byte for a character in the given memory area.
If the character for matching byte is greater than 0x80, check_bytes()
doesn't work. Becuase 64-bit pattern is generated as below.
value64 = value | value << 8 | value << 16 | value << 24;
value64 = value64 | value64 << 32;
The integer promotions are performed and sign-extended as the type of value
is u8. The upper 32 bits of value64 is 0xffffffff in the first line, and
the second line has no effect.
This fixes the 64-bit pattern generation.

We have already acknowledged that swapoff of a tmpfs file is slower than
it was before conversion to the generic radix_tree: a little slower
there will be acceptable, if the hotter paths are faster.
But it was a shock to find swapoff of a 500MB file 20 times slower on my
laptop, taking 10 minutes; and at that rate it significantly slows down
my testing.
Now, most of that turned out to be overhead from PROVE_LOCKING and
PROVE_RCU: without those it was only 4 times slower than before; and
more realistic tests on other machines don't fare as badly.
I've tried a number of things to improve it, including tagging the swap
entries, then doing lookup by tag: I'd expected that to halve the time,
but in practice it's erratic, and often counter-productive.
The only change I've so far found to make a consistent improvement, is
to short-circuit the way we go back and forth, gang lookup packing
entries into the array supplied, then shmem scanning that array for the
target entry. Scanning in place doubles the speed, so it's now only
twice as slow as before (or three times slower when the PROVEs are on).
So, add radix_tree_locate_item() as an expedient, once-off,
single-caller hack to do the lookup directly in place. #ifdef it on
CONFIG_SHMEM and CONFIG_SWAP, as much to document its limited
applicability as save space in other configurations. And, sadly,
#include sched.h for cond_resched().

But we've not yet removed the old swp_entry_t i_direct[16] from

Convert shmem_writepage() to use shmem_delete_from_page_cache() to use
shmem_radix_tree_replace() to substitute swap entry for page pointer
atomically in the radix tree.
As with shmem_add_to_page_cache(), it's not entirely satisfactory to be

to sell than making its other callers go through the extras.
Remove the toy implementation's shmem_put_swap() and shmem_get_swap(),

The way things have worked out, info->lock no longer helps to guard the
shmem_swaplist: we increment swapped under shmem_swaplist_mutex only.
That global mutex exclusion between shmem_writepage() and shmem_unuse()
is not pretty, and we ought to find another way; but it's been forced on
us by recent race discoveries, not a consequence of this patchset.
And what has become of the WARN_ON_ONCE(1) free_swap_and_cache() if a

Convert shmem_getpage_gfp(), the engine-room of shmem, to expect page or
swap entry returned from radix tree by find_lock_page().
Whereas the repetitive old method proceeded mainly under info->lock,
dropping and repeating whenever one of the conditions needed was not
met, now we can proceed without it, leaving shmem_add_to_page_cache() to
check for a race.
This way there is no need to preallocate a page, no need for an early
radix_tree_preload(), no need for mem_cgroup_shmem_charge_fallback().
Move the error unwinding down to the bottom instead of repeating it
throughout. ENOSPC handling is a little different from before: there is
no longer any race between find_lock_page() and finding swap, but we can
arrive at ENOSPC before calling shmem_recalc_inode(), which might
occasionally discover freed space.
Be stricter to check i_size before returning. info->lock is used for
little but alloced, swapped, i_blocks updates. Move i_blocks updates
out from under the max_blocks check, so even an unlimited size=0 mount
can show accurate du.

Convert shmem_unuse_inode() to use a lockless gang lookup of the radix
tree, searching for matching swap.
This is somewhat slower than the old method: because of repeated radix
tree descents, because of copying entries up, but probably most because
the old method noted and skipped once a vector page was cleared of swap.
Perhaps we can devise a use of radix tree tagging to achieve that later.
shmem_add_to_page_cache() uses shmem_radix_tree_replace() to compensate
for the lockless lookup by checking that the expected entry is in place,
under lock. It is not very satisfactory to be copying this much from
add_to_page_cache_locked(), but I think easier to sell than insisting

Disable the toy swapping implementation in shmem_writepage() - it's hard

Since the second loop tightens its noose until all entries of either
kind have been squeezed out (and we shall make sure that there's not an
instant when neither is visible), there is no longer a need for yet
another pass below.
shmem_radix_tree_replace() compensates for the lockless lookup by

replacing it. Here it just deletes, but will be used in later patches

over 4TB on a 64-bit kernel, but 16TB on a 32-bit kernel,
MAX_LFS_FILESIZE being then more restrictive than swap vector layout.)
It's a shame that tmpfs should be more restrictive than ramfs, and this
limitation has now been noticed. Add another level to the swap vector?
No, it became obscure and hard to maintain, once I complicated it to
make use of highmem pages nine years ago: better choose another way.
Surely, if 2.4 had had the radix tree pagecache introduced in 2.5, then
tmpfs would never have invented its own peculiar radix tree: we would
have fitted swap entries into the common radix tree instead, in much the
same way as we fit swap entries into page tables.
And why should each file have a separate radix tree for its pages and
for its swap entries? The swap entries are required precisely where and
when the pages are not. We want to put them together in a single radix
tree: which can then avoid much of the locking which was needed to
prevent them from being exchanged underneath us.
This also avoids the waste of memory devoted to swap vectors, first in
the shmem_inode itself, then at least two more pages once a file grew
beyond 16 data pages (pages accounted by df and du, but not by memcg).
Allocated upfront, to avoid allocation when under swapping pressure, but
pure waste when CONFIG_SWAP is not set - I have never spattered around
the ifdefs to prevent that, preferring this move to sharing the common
radix tree instead.
There are three downsides to sharing the radix tree. One, that it binds
tmpfs more tightly to the rest of mm, either requiring knowledge of swap
entries in radix tree there, or duplication of its code here in shmem.c.
I believe that the simplications and memory savings (and probable higher
performance, not yet measured) justify that.
Two, that on HIGHMEM systems with SWAP enabled, it's the lowmem radix
nodes that cannot be freed under memory pressure - whereas before it was
the less precious highmem swap vector pages that could not be freed.
I'm hoping that 64-bit has now been accessible for long enough, that the
highmem argument has grown much less persuasive.
Three, that swapoff is slower than it used to be on tmpfs files, since
it's using a simple generic mechanism not tailored to it: I find this
noticeable, and shall want to improve, but maybe nobody else will
notice.
So... now remove most of the old swap vector code from shmem.c. But,
for the moment, keep the simple i_direct vector of 16 pages, with simple
accessors shmem_put_swap() and shmem_get_swap(), as a toy implementation
to help mark where swap needs to be handled in subsequent patches.

If swap entries are to be stored along with struct page pointers in a
radix tree, they need to be distinguished as exceptional entries.
Most of the handling of swap entries in radix tree will be contained in
shmem.c, but a few functions in filemap.c's common code need to check
for their appearance: find_get_page(), find_lock_page(),
find_get_pages() and find_get_pages_contig().
So as not to slow their fast paths, tuck those checks inside the
existing checks for unlikely radix_tree_deref_slot(); except for
find_lock_page(), where it is an added test. And make it a BUG in
find_get_pages_tag(), which is not applied to tmpfs files.
A part of the reason for eliminating shmem_readpage() earlier, was to
minimize the places where common code would need to allow for swap
entries.
The swp_entry_t known to swapfile.c must be massaged into a slightly
different form when stored in the radix tree, just as it gets massaged
into a pte_t when stored in page tables.
In an i386 kernel this limits its information (type and page offset) to
30 bits: given 32 "types" of swapfile and 4kB pagesize, that's a maximum
swapfile size of 128GB. Which is less than the 512GB we previously
allowed with X86_PAE (where the swap entry can occupy the entire upper
32 bits of a pte_t), but not a new limitation on 32-bit without PAE; and
there's not a new limitation on 64-bit (where swap filesize is already
limited to 16TB by a 32-bit page offset). Thirty areas of 128GB is
probably still enough swap for a 64GB 32-bit machine.
Provide swp_to_radix_entry() and radix_to_swp_entry() conversions, and
enforce filesize limit in read_swap_header(), just as for ptes.

A patchset to extend tmpfs to MAX_LFS_FILESIZE by abandoning its
peculiar swap vector, instead keeping a file's swap entries in the same
radix tree as its struct page pointers: thus saving memory, and
simplifying its code and locking.
This patch:
The radix_tree is used by several subsystems for different purposes. A
major use is to store the struct page pointers of a file's pagecache for
memory management. But what if mm wanted to store something other than
page pointers there too?
The low bit of a radix_tree entry is already used to denote an indirect
pointer, for internal use, and the unlikely radix_tree_deref_retry()
case.
Define the next bit as denoting an exceptional entry, and supply inline
functions radix_tree_exception() to return non-0 in either unlikely
case, and radix_tree_exceptional_entry() to return non-0 in the second
case.
If a subsystem already uses radix_tree with that bit set, no problem: it
does not affect internal workings at all, but is defined for the
convenience of those storing well-aligned pointers in the radix_tree.
The radix_tree_gang_lookups have an implicit assumption that the caller
can deduce the offset of each entry returned e.g. by the page->index of
a struct page. But that may not be feasible for some kinds of item to
be stored there.
radix_tree_gang_lookup_slot() allow for an optional indices argument,
output array in which to return those offsets. The same could be added
to other radix_tree_gang_lookups, but for now keep it to the only one
for which we need it.

init_fault_attr_dentries() is used to export fault_attr via debugfs.
But it can only export it in debugfs root directory.
Per Forlin is working on mmc_fail_request which adds support to inject
data errors after a completed host transfer in MMC subsystem.
The fault_attr for mmc_fail_request should be defined per mmc host and
export it in debugfs directory per mmc host like
/sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/mmc_fail_request.
init_fault_attr_dentries() doesn't help for mmc_fail_request. So this
introduces fault_create_debugfs_attr() which is able to create a
directory in the arbitrary directory and replace
init_fault_attr_dentries().

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.

exit_mm() sets ->mm == NULL then it does mmput()->exit_mmap() which
frees the memory.
However select_bad_process() checks ->mm != NULL before TIF_MEMDIE,
so it continues to kill other tasks even if we have the oom-killed
task freeing its memory.
Change select_bad_process() to check ->mm after TIF_MEMDIE, but skip
the tasks which have already passed exit_notify() to ensure a zombie
with TIF_MEMDIE set can't block oom-killer. Alternatively we could
probably clear TIF_MEMDIE after exit_mmap().

Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign
too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems). Part of the reason is
that the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts
at node 0 for newly created tasks.
This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number
of the cpuset.

percpu_charge_mutex protects from multiple simultaneous per-cpu charge
caches draining because we might end up having too many work items. At
least this was the case until commit 26fe616844 ("memcg: fix percpu
cached charge draining frequency") when we introduced a more targeted
draining for async mode.
Now that also sync draining is targeted we can safely remove mutex
because we will not send more work than the current number of CPUs.
FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE protects from sending the same work multiple
times and stock->nr_pages == 0 protects from pointless sending a work if
there is obviously nothing to be done. This is of course racy but we
can live with it as the race window is really small (we would have to
see FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE cleared while nr_pages would be still
non-zero).
The only remaining place where we can race is synchronous mode when we
rely on FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE test which might have been set by other
drainer on the same group but we should wait in that case as well.

Currently we have two ways how to drain per-CPU caches for charges.
drain_all_stock_sync will synchronously drain all caches while
drain_all_stock_async will asynchronously drain only those that refer to
a given memory cgroup or its subtree in hierarchy. Targeted async
draining has been introduced by 26fe6168 (memcg: fix percpu cached
charge draining frequency) to reduce the cpu workers number.
sync draining is currently triggered only from mem_cgroup_force_empty
which is triggered only by userspace (mem_cgroup_force_empty_write) or
when a cgroup is removed (mem_cgroup_pre_destroy). Although these are
not usually frequent operations it still makes some sense to do targeted
draining as well, especially if the box has many CPUs.
This patch unifies both methods to use the single code (drain_all_stock)
which relies on the original async implementation and just adds
flush_work to wait on all caches that are still under work for the sync
mode. We are using FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE bit check to prevent from
waiting on a work that we haven't triggered. Please note that both sync
and async functions are currently protected by percpu_charge_mutex so we
cannot race with other drainers.

drain_all_stock_async tries to optimize a work to be done on the work
queue by excluding any work for the current CPU because it assumes that
the context we are called from already tried to charge from that cache
and it's failed so it must be empty already.
While the assumption is correct we can optimize it even more by checking
the current number of pages in the cache. This will also reduce a work
on other CPUs with an empty stock.
For the current CPU we can simply call drain_local_stock rather than
deferring it to the work queue.

- the number of rotated pages(total, anon, file)
- the number of freed pages(total, anon, file)

Commit 22a668d7c3 ("memcg: fix behavior under memory.limit equals to
memsw.limit") introduced "memsw_is_minimum" flag, which becomes true
when mem_limit == memsw_limit. The flag is checked at the beginning of
reclaim, and "noswap" is set if the flag is true, because using swap is
meaningless in this case.
This works well in most cases, but when we try to shrink mem_limit,
which is the same as memsw_limit now, we might fail to shrink mem_limit
because swap doesn't used.
This patch fixes this behavior by:
- check MEM_CGROUP_RECLAIM_SHRINK at the begining of reclaim
- If it is set, don't set "noswap" flag even if memsw_is_minimum is true.

But the implementation is too naive and adds another problem to small
memcg. It always force scan to 32 pages of file/anon and doesn't handle
swappiness and other rotate_info. It makes vmscan to scan anon LRU
regardless of swappiness and make reclaim bad. This patch fixes it by
