646010009d mm: Add folio_raw_mapping()
Convert __page_rmapping to folio_raw_mapping and move it to mm/internal.h.
It's only a couple of instructions (load and mask), so it's definitely
going to be cheaper to inline it than call it.  Leave page_rmapping
out of line.  Change page_anon_vma() to not call folio_raw_mapping() --
it's more efficient to do the subtraction than the mask.

575ced1c8b mm/swap: Add folio_rotate_reclaimable()
Convert rotate_reclaimable_page() to folio_rotate_reclaimable().  This
eliminates all five of the calls to compound_head() in this function,
saving 75 bytes at the cost of adding 15 bytes to its one caller,
end_page_writeback().  We also save 36 bytes from pagevec_move_tail_fn()
due to using folios there.  Net 96 bytes savings.

Also move its declaration to mm/internal.h as it's only used by filemap.c.

79c28a4167 mm/numa: automatically generate node migration order
Patch series "Migrate Pages in lieu of discard", v11.

We're starting to see systems with more and more kinds of memory such as
Intel's implementation of persistent memory.

Let's say you have a system with some DRAM and some persistent memory.
Today, once DRAM fills up, reclaim will start and some of the DRAM
contents will be thrown out.  Allocations will, at some point, start
falling over to the slower persistent memory.

That has two nasty properties.  First, the newer allocations can end up in
the slower persistent memory.  Second, reclaimed data in DRAM are just
discarded even if there are gobs of space in persistent memory that could
be used.

This patchset implements a solution to these problems.  At the end of the
reclaim process in shrink_page_list() just before the last page refcount
is dropped, the page is migrated to persistent memory instead of being
dropped.

While I've talked about a DRAM/PMEM pairing, this approach would function
in any environment where memory tiers exist.

This is not perfect.  It "strands" pages in slower memory and never brings
them back to fast DRAM.  Huang Ying has follow-on work which repurposes
NUMA balancing to promote hot pages back to DRAM.

This is also all based on an upstream mechanism that allows persistent
memory to be onlined and used as if it were volatile:

	http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190124231441.37A4A305@viggo.jf.intel.com

With that, the DRAM and PMEM in each socket will be represented as 2
separate NUMA nodes, with the CPUs sit in the DRAM node.  So the
general inter-NUMA demotion mechanism introduced in the patchset can
migrate the cold DRAM pages to the PMEM node.

We have tested the patchset with the postgresql and pgbench.  On a
2-socket server machine with DRAM and PMEM, the kernel with the patchset
can improve the score of pgbench up to 22.1% compared with that of the
DRAM only + disk case.  This comes from the reduced disk read throughput
(which reduces up to 70.8%).

== Open Issues ==

 * Memory policies and cpusets that, for instance, restrict allocations
   to DRAM can be demoted to PMEM whenever they opt in to this
   new mechanism.  A cgroup-level API to opt-in or opt-out of
   these migrations will likely be required as a follow-on.
 * Could be more aggressive about where anon LRU scanning occurs
   since it no longer necessarily involves I/O.  get_scan_count()
   for instance says: "If we have no swap space, do not bother
   scanning anon pages"

This patch (of 9):

Prepare for the kernel to auto-migrate pages to other memory nodes with a
node migration table.  This allows creating single migration target for
each NUMA node to enable the kernel to do NUMA page migrations instead of
simply discarding colder pages.  A node with no target is a "terminal
node", so reclaim acts normally there.  The migration target does not
fundamentally _need_ to be a single node, but this implementation starts
there to limit complexity.

When memory fills up on a node, memory contents can be automatically
migrated to another node.  The biggest problems are knowing when to
migrate and to where the migration should be targeted.

The most straightforward way to generate the "to where" list would be to
follow the page allocator fallback lists.  Those lists already tell us if
memory is full where to look next.  It would also be logical to move
memory in that order.

But, the allocator fallback lists have a fatal flaw: most nodes appear in
all the lists.  This would potentially lead to migration cycles (A->B,
B->A, A->B, ...).

Instead of using the allocator fallback lists directly, keep a separate
node migration ordering.  But, reuse the same data used to generate page
allocator fallback in the first place: find_next_best_node().

This means that the firmware data used to populate node distances
essentially dictates the ordering for now.  It should also be
architecture-neutral since all NUMA architectures have a working
find_next_best_node().

RCU is used to allow lock-less read of node_demotion[] and prevent
demotion cycles been observed.  If multiple reads of node_demotion[] are
performed, a single rcu_read_lock() must be held over all reads to ensure
no cycles are observed.  Details are as follows.

=== What does RCU provide? ===

Imagine a simple loop which walks down the demotion path looking
for the last node:

        terminal_node = start_node;
        while (node_demotion[terminal_node] != NUMA_NO_NODE) {
                terminal_node = node_demotion[terminal_node];
        }

The initial values are:

        node_demotion[0] = 1;
        node_demotion[1] = NUMA_NO_NODE;

and are updated to:

        node_demotion[0] = NUMA_NO_NODE;
        node_demotion[1] = 0;

What guarantees that the cycle is not observed:

        node_demotion[0] = 1;
        node_demotion[1] = 0;

and would loop forever?

With RCU, a rcu_read_lock/unlock() can be placed around the loop.  Since
the write side does a synchronize_rcu(), the loop that observed the old
contents is known to be complete before the synchronize_rcu() has
completed.

RCU, combined with disable_all_migrate_targets(), ensures that the old
migration state is not visible by the time __set_migration_target_nodes()
is called.

=== What does READ_ONCE() provide? ===

READ_ONCE() forbids the compiler from merging or reordering successive
reads of node_demotion[].  This ensures that any updates are *eventually*
observed.

Consider the above loop again.  The compiler could theoretically read the
entirety of node_demotion[] into local storage (registers) and never go
back to memory, and *permanently* observe bad values for node_demotion[].

Note: RCU does not provide any universal compiler-ordering
guarantees:

c803b3c8b3 mm: introduce memmap_alloc() to unify memory map allocation
There are several places that allocate memory for the memory map:
alloc_node_mem_map() for FLATMEM, sparse_buffer_init() and
__populate_section_memmap() for SPARSEMEM.

The memory allocated in the FLATMEM case is zeroed and it is never
poisoned, regardless of CONFIG_PAGE_POISON setting.

The memory allocated in the SPARSEMEM cases is not zeroed and it is
implicitly poisoned inside memblock if CONFIG_PAGE_POISON is set.

Introduce memmap_alloc() wrapper for memblock allocators that will be used
for both FLATMEM and SPARSEMEM cases and will makei memory map zeroing and
poisoning consistent for different memory models.

6aeb25425d mmap: make mlock_future_check() global
Patch series "mm: introduce memfd_secret system call to create "secret" memory areas", v20.

This is an implementation of "secret" mappings backed by a file
descriptor.

The file descriptor backing secret memory mappings is created using a
dedicated memfd_secret system call The desired protection mode for the
memory is configured using flags parameter of the system call.  The mmap()
of the file descriptor created with memfd_secret() will create a "secret"
memory mapping.  The pages in that mapping will be marked as not present
in the direct map and will be present only in the page table of the owning
mm.

Although normally Linux userspace mappings are protected from other users,
such secret mappings are useful for environments where a hostile tenant is
trying to trick the kernel into giving them access to other tenants
mappings.

It's designed to provide the following protections:

* Enhanced protection (in conjunction with all the other in-kernel
  attack prevention systems) against ROP attacks.  Seceretmem makes
  "simple" ROP insufficient to perform exfiltration, which increases the
  required complexity of the attack.  Along with other protections like
  the kernel stack size limit and address space layout randomization which
  make finding gadgets is really hard, absence of any in-kernel primitive
  for accessing secret memory means the one gadget ROP attack can't work.
  Since the only way to access secret memory is to reconstruct the missing
  mapping entry, the attacker has to recover the physical page and insert
  a PTE pointing to it in the kernel and then retrieve the contents.  That
  takes at least three gadgets which is a level of difficulty beyond most
  standard attacks.

* Prevent cross-process secret userspace memory exposures.  Once the
  secret memory is allocated, the user can't accidentally pass it into the
  kernel to be transmitted somewhere.  The secreremem pages cannot be
  accessed via the direct map and they are disallowed in GUP.

* Harden against exploited kernel flaws.  In order to access secretmem,
  a kernel-side attack would need to either walk the page tables and
  create new ones, or spawn a new privileged uiserspace process to perform
  secrets exfiltration using ptrace.

In the future the secret mappings may be used as a mean to protect guest
memory in a virtual machine host.

For demonstration of secret memory usage we've created a userspace library

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/secret-memory-preloader.git

that does two things: the first is act as a preloader for openssl to
redirect all the OPENSSL_malloc calls to secret memory meaning any secret
keys get automatically protected this way and the other thing it does is
expose the API to the user who needs it.  We anticipate that a lot of the
use cases would be like the openssl one: many toolkits that deal with
secret keys already have special handling for the memory to try to give
them greater protection, so this would simply be pluggable into the
toolkits without any need for user application modification.

Hiding secret memory mappings behind an anonymous file allows usage of the
page cache for tracking pages allocated for the "secret" mappings as well
as using address_space_operations for e.g.  page migration callbacks.

The anonymous file may be also used implicitly, like hugetlb files, to
implement mmap(MAP_SECRET) and use the secret memory areas with "native"
mm ABIs in the future.

Removing of the pages from the direct map may cause its fragmentation on
architectures that use large pages to map the physical memory which
affects the system performance.  However, the original Kconfig text for
CONFIG_DIRECT_GBPAGES said that gigabyte pages in the direct map "...  can
improve the kernel's performance a tiny bit ..." (commit 00d1c5e057
("x86: add gbpages switches")) and the recent report [1] showed that "...
although 1G mappings are a good default choice, there is no compelling
evidence that it must be the only choice".  Hence, it is sufficient to
have secretmem disabled by default with the ability of a system
administrator to enable it at boot time.

In addition, there is also a long term goal to improve management of the
direct map.

find_suitable_fallback is only shared outside of page_alloc.c for

4ca9b3859d mm/madvise: introduce MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) to prefault page tables
I. Background: Sparse Memory Mappings

When we manage sparse memory mappings dynamically in user space - also
sometimes involving MAP_NORESERVE - we want to dynamically populate/
discard memory inside such a sparse memory region.  Example users are
hypervisors (especially implementing memory ballooning or similar
technologies like virtio-mem) and memory allocators.  In addition, we want
to fail in a nice way (instead of generating SIGBUS) if populating does
not succeed because we are out of backend memory (which can happen easily
with file-based mappings, especially tmpfs and hugetlbfs).

While MADV_DONTNEED, MADV_REMOVE and FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE allow for
reliably discarding memory for most mapping types, there is no generic
approach to populate page tables and preallocate memory.

Although mmap() supports MAP_POPULATE, it is not applicable to the concept
of sparse memory mappings, where we want to populate/discard dynamically
and avoid expensive/problematic remappings.  In addition, we never
actually report errors during the final populate phase - it is best-effort
only.

fallocate() can be used to preallocate file-based memory and fail in a
safe way.  However, it cannot really be used for any private mappings on
anonymous files via memfd due to COW semantics.  In addition, fallocate()
does not actually populate page tables, so we still always get pagefaults
on first access - which is sometimes undesired (i.e., real-time workloads)
and requires real prefaulting of page tables, not just a preallocation of
backend storage.  There might be interesting use cases for sparse memory
regions along with mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) which fallocate() cannot satisfy
as it does not prefault page tables.

II. On preallcoation/prefaulting from user space

Because we don't have a proper interface, what applications (like QEMU and
databases) end up doing is touching (i.e., reading+writing one byte to not
overwrite existing data) all individual pages.

However, that approach
1) Can result in wear on storage backing, because we end up reading/writing
   each page; this is especially a problem for dax/pmem.
2) Can result in mmap_sem contention when prefaulting via multiple
   threads.
3) Requires expensive signal handling, especially to catch SIGBUS in case
   of hugetlbfs/shmem/file-backed memory. For example, this is
   problematic in hypervisors like QEMU where SIGBUS handlers might already
   be used by other subsystems concurrently to e.g, handle hardware errors.
   "Simply" doing preallocation concurrently from other thread is not that
   easy.

III. On MADV_WILLNEED

Extending MADV_WILLNEED is not an option because
1. It would change the semantics: "Expect access in the near future." and
   "might be a good idea to read some pages" vs. "Definitely populate/
   preallocate all memory and definitely fail on errors.".
2. Existing users (like virtio-balloon in QEMU when deflating the balloon)
   don't want populate/prealloc semantics. They treat this rather as a hint
   to give a little performance boost without too much overhead - and don't
   expect that a lot of memory might get consumed or a lot of time
   might be spent.

IV. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE

Let's introduce MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE, inspired by
MAP_POPULATE, with the following semantics:
1. MADV_POPULATE_READ can be used to prefault page tables just like
   manually reading each individual page. This will not break any COW
   mappings. The shared zero page might get mapped and no backend storage
   might get preallocated -- allocation might be deferred to
   write-fault time. Especially shared file mappings require an explicit
   fallocate() upfront to actually preallocate backend memory (blocks in
   the file system) in case the file might have holes.
2. If MADV_POPULATE_READ succeeds, all page tables have been populated
   (prefaulted) readable once.
3. MADV_POPULATE_WRITE can be used to preallocate backend memory and
   prefault page tables just like manually writing (or
   reading+writing) each individual page. This will break any COW
   mappings -- e.g., the shared zeropage is never populated.
4. If MADV_POPULATE_WRITE succeeds, all page tables have been populated
   (prefaulted) writable once.
5. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE cannot be applied to special
   mappings marked with VM_PFNMAP and VM_IO. Also, proper access
   permissions (e.g., PROT_READ, PROT_WRITE) are required. If any such
   mapping is encountered, madvise() fails with -EINVAL.
6. If MADV_POPULATE_READ or MADV_POPULATE_WRITE fails, some page tables
   might have been populated.
7. MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE will return -EHWPOISON
   when encountering a HW poisoned page in the range.
8. Similar to MAP_POPULATE, MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE
   cannot protect from the OOM (Out Of Memory) handler killing the
   process.

While the use case for MADV_POPULATE_WRITE is fairly obvious (i.e.,
preallocate memory and prefault page tables for VMs), one issue is that
whenever we prefault pages writable, the pages have to be marked dirty,
because the CPU could dirty them any time.  while not a real problem for
hugetlbfs or dax/pmem, it can be a problem for shared file mappings: each
page will be marked dirty and has to be written back later when evicting.

MADV_POPULATE_READ allows for optimizing this scenario: Pre-read a whole
mapping from backend storage without marking it dirty, such that eviction
won't have to write it back.  As discussed above, shared file mappings
might require an explciit fallocate() upfront to achieve
preallcoation+prepopulation.

Although sparse memory mappings are the primary use case, this will also
be useful for other preallocate/prefault use cases where MAP_POPULATE is
not desired or the semantics of MAP_POPULATE are not sufficient: as one
example, QEMU users can trigger preallocation/prefaulting of guest RAM
after the mapping was created -- and don't want errors to be silently
suppressed.

Looking at the history, MADV_POPULATE was already proposed in 2013 [1],
however, the main motivation back than was performance improvements --
which should also still be the case.

V. Single-threaded performance comparison

I did a short experiment, prefaulting page tables on completely *empty
mappings/files* and repeated the experiment 10 times.  The results
correspond to the shortest execution time.  In general, the performance
benefit for huge pages is negligible with small mappings.

V.1: Private mappings

POPULATE_READ and POPULATE_WRITE is fastest.  Note that
Reading/POPULATE_READ will populate the shared zeropage where applicable
-- which result in short population times.

The fastest way to allocate backend storage (here: swap or huge pages) and
prefault page tables is POPULATE_WRITE.

V.2: Shared mappings

fallocate() is fastest, however, doesn't prefault page tables.
POPULATE_WRITE is faster than simple writes and read/writes.
POPULATE_READ is faster than simple reads.

Without a fd, the fastest way to allocate backend storage and prefault
page tables is POPULATE_WRITE.  With an fd, the fastest way is usually
FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ or FALLOCATE+POPULATE_WRITE respectively; one
exception are actual files: FALLOCATE+Read is slightly faster than
FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ.

The fastest way to allocate backend storage prefault page tables is
FALLOCATE+POPULATE_WRITE -- except when dealing with actual files; then,
FALLOCATE+POPULATE_READ is fastest and won't directly mark all pages as
dirty.

c5b5a3dd2c mm: thp: refactor NUMA fault handling
When the THP NUMA fault support was added THP migration was not supported
yet.  So the ad hoc THP migration was implemented in NUMA fault handling.
Since v4.14 THP migration has been supported so it doesn't make too much
sense to still keep another THP migration implementation rather than using
the generic migration code.

This patch reworks the NUMA fault handling to use generic migration
implementation to migrate misplaced page.  There is no functional change.

After the refactor the flow of NUMA fault handling looks just like its
PTE counterpart:
  Acquire ptl
  Prepare for migration (elevate page refcount)
  Release ptl
  Isolate page from lru and elevate page refcount
  Migrate the misplaced THP

If migration fails just restore the old normal PMD.

In the old code anon_vma lock was needed to serialize THP migration
against THP split, but since then the THP code has been reworked a lot, it
seems anon_vma lock is not required anymore to avoid the race.

The page refcount elevation when holding ptl should prevent from THP
split.

Use migrate_misplaced_page() for both base page and THP NUMA hinting fault
and remove all the dead and duplicate code.

44042b4498 mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored on the per-cpu lists
The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages.  This means
that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on
the zone->lock.  This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and
"cheap" high-order pages.  Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in
size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64.

Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of
how it is implemented.  High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be
exceeded prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of
THP pages being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists.
Hence, much depends on the allocation/free pattern as observed by a single
CPU to determine if caching helps or hurts a particular workload.

That said, basic performance testing passed.  The following is a netperf
UDP_STREAM test which hits the relevant patches as some of the network
allocations are high-order.

Functionally, a patch like this is necessary to make bulk allocation of
high-order pages work with similar performance to order-0 bulk
allocations.  The bulk allocator is not updated in this series as it would
have to be determined by bulk allocation users how they want to track the
order of pages allocated with the bulk allocator.

04f8cfeaed mm/page_alloc: adjust pcp->high after CPU hotplug events
The PCP high watermark is based on the number of online CPUs so the
watermarks must be adjusted during CPU hotplug.  At the time of
hot-remove, the number of online CPUs is already adjusted but during
hot-add, a delta needs to be applied to update PCP to the correct value.
After this patch is applied, the high watermarks are adjusted correctly.

494c1dfe85 mm: memcg/slab: create a new set of kmalloc-cg-<n> caches
There are currently two problems in the way the objcg pointer array
(memcg_data) in the page structure is being allocated and freed.

On its allocation, it is possible that the allocated objcg pointer
array comes from the same slab that requires memory accounting. If this
happens, the slab will never become empty again as there is at least
one object left (the obj_cgroup array) in the slab.

When it is freed, the objcg pointer array object may be the last one
in its slab and hence causes kfree() to be called again. With the
right workload, the slab cache may be set up in a way that allows the
recursive kfree() calling loop to nest deep enough to cause a kernel
stack overflow and panic the system.

One way to solve this problem is to split the kmalloc-<n> caches
(KMALLOC_NORMAL) into two separate sets - a new set of kmalloc-<n>
(KMALLOC_NORMAL) caches for unaccounted objects only and a new set of
kmalloc-cg-<n> (KMALLOC_CGROUP) caches for accounted objects only. All
the other caches can still allow a mix of accounted and unaccounted
objects.

With this change, all the objcg pointer array objects will come from
KMALLOC_NORMAL caches which won't have their objcg pointer arrays. So
both the recursive kfree() problem and non-freeable slab problem are
gone.

Since both the KMALLOC_NORMAL and KMALLOC_CGROUP caches no longer have
mixed accounted and unaccounted objects, this will slightly reduce the
number of objcg pointer arrays that need to be allocated and save a bit
of memory. On the other hand, creating a new set of kmalloc caches does
have the effect of reducing cache utilization. So it is properly a wash.

The new KMALLOC_CGROUP is added between KMALLOC_NORMAL and
KMALLOC_RECLAIM so that the first for loop in create_kmalloc_caches()
will include the newly added caches without change.

494334e43c mm/thp: fix vma_address() if virtual address below file offset
Running certain tests with a DEBUG_VM kernel would crash within hours,
on the total_mapcount BUG() in split_huge_page_to_list(), while trying
to free up some memory by punching a hole in a shmem huge page: split's
try_to_unmap() was unable to find all the mappings of the page (which,
on a !DEBUG_VM kernel, would then keep the huge page pinned in memory).

When that BUG() was changed to a WARN(), it would later crash on the
VM_BUG_ON_VMA(end < vma->vm_start || start >= vma->vm_end, vma) in
mm/internal.h:vma_address(), used by rmap_walk_file() for
try_to_unmap().

vma_address() is usually correct, but there's a wraparound case when the
vm_start address is unusually low, but vm_pgoff not so low:
vma_address() chooses max(start, vma->vm_start), but that decides on the
wrong address, because start has become almost ULONG_MAX.

Rewrite vma_address() to be more careful about vm_pgoff; move the
VM_BUG_ON_VMA() out of it, returning -EFAULT for errors, so that it can
be safely used from page_mapped_in_vma() and page_address_in_vma() too.

Add vma_address_end() to apply similar care to end address calculation,
in page_vma_mapped_walk() and page_mkclean_one() and try_to_unmap_one();
though it raises a question of whether callers would do better to supply
pvmw->end to page_vma_mapped_walk() - I chose not, for a smaller patch.

An irritation is that their apparent generality breaks down on KSM
pages, which cannot be located by the page->index that page_to_pgoff()
uses: as commit 4b0ece6fa0 ("mm: migrate: fix remove_migration_pte()
for ksm pages") once discovered.  I dithered over the best thing to do
about that, and have ended up with a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageKsm) in both
vma_address() and vma_address_end(); though the only place in danger of
using it on them was try_to_unmap_one().

Sidenote: vma_address() and vma_address_end() now use compound_nr() on a
head page, instead of thp_size(): to make the right calculation on a
hugetlbfs page, whether or not THPs are configured.  try_to_unmap() is
used on hugetlbfs pages, but perhaps the wrong calculation never
mattered.

f10628d2f6 Revert "mm/gup: check page posion status for coredump."
While reviewing [1] I came across commit d3378e86d1 ("mm/gup: check
page posion status for coredump.") and noticed that this patch is broken
in two ways.  First it doesn't really prevent hwpoison pages from being
dumped because hwpoison pages can be marked asynchornously at any time
after the check.  Secondly, and more importantly, the patch introduces a
ref count leak because get_dump_page takes a reference on the page which
is not released.

It also seems that the patch was merged incorrectly because there were
follow up changes not included as well as discussions on how to address
the underlying problem [2]

Therefore revert the original patch.

c2ad7a1ffe mm,compaction: let isolate_migratepages_{range,block} return error codes
Currently, isolate_migratepages_{range,block} and their callers use a pfn
== 0 vs pfn != 0 scheme to let the caller know whether there was any error
during isolation.

This does not work as soon as we need to start reporting different error
codes and make sure we pass them down the chain, so they are properly
interpreted by functions like e.g: alloc_contig_range.

Let us rework isolate_migratepages_{range,block} so we can report error
codes.  Since isolate_migratepages_block will stop returning the next pfn
to be scanned, we reuse the cc->migrate_pfn field to keep track of that.

Merge tag 'netfs-lib-20210426' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs

Pull network filesystem helper library updates from David Howells:
 "Here's a set of patches for 5.13 to begin the process of overhauling
  the local caching API for network filesystems. This set consists of
  two parts:

  (1) Add a helper library to handle the new VM readahead interface.

      This is intended to be used unconditionally by the filesystem
      (whether or not caching is enabled) and provides a common
      framework for doing caching, transparent huge pages and, in the
      future, possibly fscrypt and read bandwidth maximisation. It also
      allows the netfs and the cache to align, expand and slice up a
      read request from the VM in various ways; the netfs need only
      provide a function to read a stretch of data to the pagecache and
      the helper takes care of the rest.

  (2) Add an alternative fscache/cachfiles I/O API that uses the kiocb
      facility to do async DIO to transfer data to/from the netfs's
      pages, rather than using readpage with wait queue snooping on one
      side and vfs_write() on the other. It also uses less memory, since
      it doesn't do buffered I/O on the backing file.

      Note that this uses SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA to locate the data
      available to be read from the cache. Whilst this is an improvement
      from the bmap interface, it still has a problem with regard to a
      modern extent-based filesystem inserting or removing bridging
      blocks of zeros. Fixing that requires a much greater overhaul.

  This is a step towards overhauling the fscache API. The change is
  opt-in on the part of the network filesystem. A netfs should not try
  to mix the old and the new API because of conflicting ways of handling
  pages and the PG_fscache page flag and because it would be mixing DIO
  with buffered I/O. Further, the helper library can't be used with the
  old API.

  This does not change any of the fscache cookie handling APIs or the
  way invalidation is done at this time.

  In the near term, I intend to deprecate and remove the old I/O API
  (fscache_allocate_page{,s}(), fscache_read_or_alloc_page{,s}(),
  fscache_write_page() and fscache_uncache_page()) and eventually
  replace most of fscache/cachefiles with something simpler and easier
  to follow.

  This patchset contains the following parts:

   - Some helper patches, including provision of an ITER_XARRAY iov
     iterator and a function to do readahead expansion.

   - Patches to add the netfs helper library.

   - A patch to add the fscache/cachefiles kiocb API.

   - A pair of patches to fix some review issues in the ITER_XARRAY and
     read helpers as spotted by Al and Willy.

  Jeff Layton has patches to add support in Ceph for this that he
  intends for this merge window. I have a set of patches to support AFS
  that I will post a separate pull request for.

  With this, AFS without a cache passes all expected xfstests; with a
  cache, there's an extra failure, but that's also there before these
  patches. Fixing that probably requires a greater overhaul. Ceph also
  passes the expected tests.

  I also have patches in a separate branch to tidy up the handling of
  PG_fscache/PG_private_2 and their contribution to page refcounting in
  the core kernel here, but I haven't included them in this set and will
  route them separately"

For readahead_expand(), we need to modify the file ra_state, so pass it
down by adding it to the ractl.  We have to do this because it's not always
the same as f_ra in the struct file that is already being passed.

d3378e86d1 mm/gup: check page posion status for coredump.
When we do coredump for user process signal, this may be an SIGBUS signal
with BUS_MCEERR_AR or BUS_MCEERR_AO code, which means this signal is
resulted from ECC memory fail like SRAR or SRAO, we expect the memory
recovery work is finished correctly, then the get_dump_page() will not
return the error page as its process pte is set invalid by
memory_failure().

But memory_failure() may fail, and the process's related pte may not be
correctly set invalid, for current code, we will return the poison page,
get it dumped, and then lead to system panic as its in kernel code.

So check the poison status in get_dump_page(), and if TRUE, return NULL.

There maybe other scenario that is also better to check the posion status
and not to panic, so make a wrapper for this check, Thanks to David's
suggestion(<david@redhat.com>).

97a7e4733b mm: introduce page_needs_cow_for_dma() for deciding whether cow
We've got quite a few places (pte, pmd, pud) that explicitly checked
against whether we should break the cow right now during fork().  It's
easier to provide a helper, especially before we work the same thing on
hugetlbfs.

Since we'll reference is_cow_mapping() in mm.h, move it there too.
Actually it suites mm.h more since internal.h is mm/ only, but mm.h is
exported to the whole kernel.  With that we should expect another patch to
use is_cow_mapping() whenever we can across the kernel since we do use it
quite a lot but it's always done with raw code against VM_* flags.

5c211ba29d mm: add and use find_lock_entries
We have three functions (shmem_undo_range(), truncate_inode_pages_range()
and invalidate_mapping_pages()) which want exactly this function, so add
it to filemap.c.  Before this patch, shmem_undo_range() would split any
compound page which overlaps either end of the range being punched in both
the first and second loops through the address space.  After this patch,
that functionality is left for the second loop, which is arguably more
appropriate since the first loop is supposed to run through all the pages
quickly, and splitting a page can sleep.

ec6e8c7e03 mm, page_alloc: disable pcplists during memory offline
Memory offlining relies on page isolation to guarantee a forward progress
because pages cannot be reused while they are isolated.  But the page
isolation itself doesn't prevent from races while freed pages are stored
on pcp lists and thus can be reused.  This can be worked around by
repeated draining of pcplists, as done by commit 9683182612
("mm/memory_hotplug: drain per-cpu pages again during memory offline").

David and Michal would prefer that this race was closed in a way that
callers of page isolation who need stronger guarantees don't need to
repeatedly drain.  David suggested disabling pcplists usage completely
during page isolation, instead of repeatedly draining them.

To achieve this without adding special cases in alloc/free fastpath, we
can use the same approach as boot pagesets - when pcp->high is 0, any
pcplist addition will be immediately flushed.

The race can thus be closed by setting pcp->high to 0 and draining
pcplists once, before calling start_isolate_page_range().  The draining
will serialize after processes that already disabled interrupts and read
the old value of pcp->high in free_unref_page_commit(), and processes that
have not yet disabled interrupts, will observe pcp->high == 0 when they
are rescheduled, and skip pcplists.  This guarantees no stray pages on
pcplists in zones where isolation happens.

This patch thus adds zone_pcp_disable() and zone_pcp_enable() functions
that page isolation users can call before start_isolate_page_range() and
after unisolating (or offlining) the isolated pages.

Also, drain_all_pages() is optimized to only execute on cpus where
pcplists are not empty.  The check can however race with a free to pcplist
that has not yet increased the pcp->count from 0 to 1.  Thus make the
drain optionally skip the racy check and drain on all cpus, and use this
option in zone_pcp_disable().

As we have to avoid external updates to high and batch while pcplists are
disabled, we take pcp_batch_high_lock in zone_pcp_disable() and release it
in zone_pcp_enable().  This also synchronizes multiple users of
zone_pcp_disable()/enable().

Currently the only user of this functionality is offline_pages().

19fc7bed25 mm/migrate: introduce a standard migration target allocation function
There are some similar functions for migration target allocation.  Since
there is no fundamental difference, it's better to keep just one rather
than keeping all variants.  This patch implements base migration target
allocation function.  In the following patches, variants will be converted
to use this function.

Changes should be mechanical, but, unfortunately, there are some
differences.  First, some callers' nodemask is assgined to NULL since NULL
nodemask will be considered as all available nodes, that is,
&node_states[N_MEMORY].  Second, for hugetlb page allocation, gfp_mask is
redefined as regular hugetlb allocation gfp_mask plus __GFP_THISNODE if
user provided gfp_mask has it.  This is because future caller of this
function requires to set this node constaint.  Lastly, if provided nodeid
is NUMA_NO_NODE, nodeid is set up to the node where migration source
lives.  It helps to remove simple wrappers for setting up the nodeid.

Note that PageHighmem() call in previous function is changed to open-code
"is_highmem_idx()" since it provides more readability.

facdaa917c mm: proactive compaction
For some applications, we need to allocate almost all memory as hugepages.
However, on a running system, higher-order allocations can fail if the
memory is fragmented.  Linux kernel currently does on-demand compaction as
we request more hugepages, but this style of compaction incurs very high
latency.  Experiments with one-time full memory compaction (followed by
hugepage allocations) show that kernel is able to restore a highly
fragmented memory state to a fairly compacted memory state within <1 sec
for a 32G system.  Such data suggests that a more proactive compaction can
help us allocate a large fraction of memory as hugepages keeping
allocation latencies low.

For a more proactive compaction, the approach taken here is to define a
new sysctl called 'vm.compaction_proactiveness' which dictates bounds for
external fragmentation which kcompactd tries to maintain.

The tunable takes a value in range [0, 100], with a default of 20.

Note that a previous version of this patch [1] was found to introduce too
many tunables (per-order extfrag{low, high}), but this one reduces them to
just one sysctl.  Also, the new tunable is an opaque value instead of
asking for specific bounds of "external fragmentation", which would have
been difficult to estimate.  The internal interpretation of this opaque
value allows for future fine-tuning.

Currently, we use a simple translation from this tunable to [low, high]
"fragmentation score" thresholds (low=100-proactiveness, high=low+10%).
The score for a node is defined as weighted mean of per-zone external
fragmentation.  A zone's present_pages determines its weight.

To periodically check per-node score, we reuse per-node kcompactd threads,
which are woken up every 500 milliseconds to check the same.  If a node's
score exceeds its high threshold (as derived from user-provided
proactiveness value), proactive compaction is started until its score
reaches its low threshold value.  By default, proactiveness is set to 20,
which implies threshold values of low=80 and high=90.

This patch is largely based on ideas from Michal Hocko [2].  See also the
LWN article [3].

Performance data
================

System: x64_64, 1T RAM, 80 CPU threads.
Kernel: 5.6.0-rc3 + this patch

echo madvise | sudo tee /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
echo madvise | sudo tee /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag

Before starting the driver, the system was fragmented from a userspace
program that allocates all memory and then for each 2M aligned section,
frees 3/4 of base pages using munmap.  The workload is mainly anonymous
userspace pages, which are easy to move around.  I intentionally avoided
unmovable pages in this test to see how much latency we incur when
hugepage allocations hit direct compaction.

1. Kernel hugepage allocation latencies

With the system in such a fragmented state, a kernel driver then allocates
as many hugepages as possible and measures allocation latency:

(all latency values are in microseconds)

- With vanilla 5.6.0-rc3

  percentile latency
  –––––––––– –––––––
	   5    7894
	  10    9496
	  25   12561
	  30   15295
	  40   18244
	  50   21229
	  60   27556
	  75   30147
	  80   31047
	  90   32859
	  95   33799

Total 2M hugepages allocated = 383859 (749G worth of hugepages out of 762G
total free => 98% of free memory could be allocated as hugepages)

- With 5.6.0-rc3 + this patch, with proactiveness=20

sysctl -w vm.compaction_proactiveness=20

  percentile latency
  –––––––––– –––––––
	   5       2
	  10       2
	  25       3
	  30       3
	  40       3
	  50       4
	  60       4
	  75       4
	  80       4
	  90       5
	  95     429

Total 2M hugepages allocated = 384105 (750G worth of hugepages out of 762G
total free => 98% of free memory could be allocated as hugepages)

2. JAVA heap allocation

In this test, we first fragment memory using the same method as for (1).

Then, we start a Java process with a heap size set to 700G and request the
heap to be allocated with THP hugepages.  We also set THP to madvise to
allow hugepage backing of this heap.

/usr/bin/time
 java -Xms700G -Xmx700G -XX:+UseTransparentHugePages -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch

The above command allocates 700G of Java heap using hugepages.

- With vanilla 5.6.0-rc3

17.39user 1666.48system 27:37.89elapsed

- With 5.6.0-rc3 + this patch, with proactiveness=20

8.35user 194.58system 3:19.62elapsed

Elapsed time remains around 3:15, as proactiveness is further increased.

Note that proactive compaction happens throughout the runtime of these
workloads.  The situation of one-time compaction, sufficient to supply
hugepages for following allocation stream, can probably happen for more
extreme proactiveness values, like 80 or 90.

In the above Java workload, proactiveness is set to 20.  The test starts
with a node's score of 80 or higher, depending on the delay between the
fragmentation step and starting the benchmark, which gives more-or-less
time for the initial round of compaction.  As t he benchmark consumes
hugepages, node's score quickly rises above the high threshold (90) and
proactive compaction starts again, which brings down the score to the low
threshold level (80).  Repeat.

bpftrace also confirms proactive compaction running 20+ times during the
runtime of this Java benchmark.  kcompactd threads consume 100% of one of
the CPUs while it tries to bring a node's score within thresholds.

Backoff behavior
================

Above workloads produce a memory state which is easy to compact.  However,
if memory is filled with unmovable pages, proactive compaction should
essentially back off.  To test this aspect:

- Created a kernel driver that allocates almost all memory as hugepages
  followed by freeing first 3/4 of each hugepage.
- Set proactiveness=40
- Note that proactive_compact_node() is deferred maximum number of times
  with HPAGE_FRAG_CHECK_INTERVAL_MSEC of wait between each check
  (=> ~30 seconds between retries).

them and add some comment to struct alloc_context in order to reduce
future confusion about the meaning of this variable.

The accessor, ac_classzone_idx() is also removed since it isn't needed
after integration.

In addition to integration, this patch also renames high_zoneidx to
highest_zoneidx since it represents more precise meaning.

3334a45eb9 mm/page_alloc: use ac->high_zoneidx for classzone_idx
Patch series "integrate classzone_idx and high_zoneidx", v5.

This patchset is followup of the problem reported and discussed two years
ago [1, 2].  The problem this patchset solves is related to the
classzone_idx on the NUMA system.  It causes a problem when the lowmem
reserve protection exists for some zones on a node that do not exist on
other nodes.

This problem was reported two years ago, and, at that time, the solution
got general agreements [2].  But it was not upstreamed.

[2]: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1525408246-14768-1-git-send-email-iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com

This patch (of 2):

Currently, we use classzone_idx to calculate lowmem reserve proetection
for an allocation request.  This classzone_idx causes a problem on NUMA
systems when the lowmem reserve protection exists for some zones on a node
that do not exist on other nodes.

Before further explanation, I should first clarify how to compute the
classzone_idx and the high_zoneidx.

- ac->high_zoneidx is computed via the arcane gfp_zone(gfp_mask) and
  represents the index of the highest zone the allocation can use

- classzone_idx was supposed to be the index of the highest zone on the
  local node that the allocation can use, that is actually available in
  the system

Think about following example.  Node 0 has 4 populated zone,
DMA/DMA32/NORMAL/MOVABLE.  Node 1 has 1 populated zone, NORMAL.  Some
zones, such as MOVABLE, doesn't exist on node 1 and this makes following
difference.

Assume that there is an allocation request whose gfp_zone(gfp_mask) is the
zone, MOVABLE.  Then, it's high_zoneidx is 3.  If this allocation is
initiated on node 0, it's classzone_idx is 3 since actually
available/usable zone on local (node 0) is MOVABLE.  If this allocation is
initiated on node 1, it's classzone_idx is 2 since actually
available/usable zone on local (node 1) is NORMAL.

You can see that classzone_idx of the allocation request are different
according to their starting node, even if their high_zoneidx is the same.

Think more about these two allocation requests.  If they are processed on
local, there is no problem.  However, if allocation is initiated on node 1
are processed on remote, in this example, at the NORMAL zone on node 0,
due to memory shortage, problem occurs.  Their different classzone_idx
leads to different lowmem reserve and then different min watermark.  See
the following example.

- static min watermark for the NORMAL zone on node 0 is 750.

- lowmem reserve for the request with classzone idx 3 at the NORMAL on
  node 0 is 4096.

- lowmem reserve for the request with classzone idx 2 at the NORMAL on
  node 0 is 0.

So, overall min watermark is:
allocation initiated on node 0 (classzone_idx 3): 750 + 4096 = 4846
allocation initiated on node 1 (classzone_idx 2): 750 + 0 = 750

Allocation initiated on node 1 will have some precedence than allocation
initiated on node 0 because min watermark of the former allocation is
lower than the other.  So, allocation initiated on node 1 could succeed on
node 0 when allocation initiated on node 0 could not, and, this could
cause too many numa_miss allocation.  Then, performance could be
downgraded.

Recently, there was a regression report about this problem on CMA patches
since CMA memory are placed in ZONE_MOVABLE by those patches.  I checked
that problem is disappeared with this fix that uses high_zoneidx for
classzone_idx.

http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180102063528.GG30397@yexl-desktop

Using high_zoneidx for classzone_idx is more consistent way than previous
approach because system's memory layout doesn't affect anything to it.
With this patch, both classzone_idx on above example will be 3 so will
have the same min watermark.

allocation initiated on node 0: 750 + 4096 = 4846
allocation initiated on node 1: 750 + 4096 = 4846

One could wonder if there is a side effect that allocation initiated on
node 1 will use higher bar when allocation is handled on local since
classzone_idx could be higher than before.  It will not happen because the
zone without managed page doesn't contributes lowmem_reserve at all.

ondemand_readahead has two callers, neither of which use the return
value.  That means that both ra_submit and __do_page_cache_readahead()
can return void, and we don't need to worry that a present page in the
readahead window causes us to return a smaller nr_pages than we ought to
have.

Similarly, no caller uses the return value from
force_page_cache_readahead().

cee9a0c4e8 mm: move readahead prototypes from mm.h
Patch series "Change readahead API", v11.

This series adds a readahead address_space operation to replace the
readpages operation.  The key difference is that pages are added to the
page cache as they are allocated (and then looked up by the filesystem)
instead of passing them on a list to the readpages operation and having
the filesystem add them to the page cache.  It's a net reduction in code
for each implementation, more efficient than walking a list, and solves
the direct-write vs buffered-read problem reported by yu kuai at
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200116063601.39201-1-yukuai3@huawei.com

The only unconverted filesystems are those which use fscache.  Their
conversion is pending Dave Howells' rewrite which will make the
conversion substantially easier.  This should be completed by the end of
the year.

I want to thank the reviewers/testers; Dave Chinner, John Hubbard, Eric
Biggers, Johannes Thumshirn, Dave Sterba, Zi Yan, Christoph Hellwig and
Miklos Szeredi have done a marvellous job of providing constructive
criticism.

These patches pass an xfstests run on ext4, xfs & btrfs with no
regressions that I can tell (some of the tests seem a little flaky
before and remain flaky afterwards).

This patch (of 25):

The readahead code is part of the page cache so should be found in the
pagemap.h file.  force_page_cache_readahead is only used within mm, so
move it to mm/internal.h instead.  Remove the parameter names where they
add no value, and rename the ones which were actively misleading.

624f58d8f4 mm: add function __putback_isolated_page
There are cases where we would benefit from avoiding having to go through
the allocation and free cycle to return an isolated page.

Examples for this might include page poisoning in which we isolate a page
and then put it back in the free list without ever having actually
allocated it.

This will enable us to also avoid notifiers for the future free page
reporting which will need to avoid retriggering page reporting when
returning pages that have been reported on.

b06eda091e mm,compaction,cma: add alloc_contig flag to compact_control
Patch series "fix THP migration for CMA allocations", v2.

Transparent huge pages are allocated with __GFP_MOVABLE, and can end up in
CMA memory blocks.  Transparent huge pages also have most of the
infrastructure in place to allow migration.

However, a few pieces were missing, causing THP migration to fail when
attempting to use CMA to allocate 1GB hugepages.

With these patches in place, THP migration from CMA blocks seems to work,
both for anonymous THPs and for tmpfs/shmem THPs.

This patch (of 2):

Add information to struct compact_control to indicate that the allocator
would really like to clear out this specific part of memory, used by for
example CMA.

This patch makes ALLOC_KSWAPD equal to __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM (cast to int).

Thanks to that code like:

    if (gfp_mask & __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM)
	    alloc_flags |= ALLOC_KSWAPD;

can be changed to:

    alloc_flags |= (__force int) (gfp_mask &__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM);

Thanks to this one branch less is generated in the assembly.

In case of ALLOC_KSWAPD flag two branches are saved, first one in code
that always executes in the beginning of page allocation and the second
one in loop in page allocator slowpath.

4064b98270 mm: allow VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple times
The idea comes from a discussion between Linus and Andrea [1].

Before this patch we only allow a page fault to retry once.  We achieved
this by clearing the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY flag when doing
handle_mm_fault() the second time.  This was majorly used to avoid
unexpected starvation of the system by looping over forever to handle the
page fault on a single page.  However that should hardly happen, and after
all for each code path to return a VM_FAULT_RETRY we'll first wait for a
condition (during which time we should possibly yield the cpu) to happen
before VM_FAULT_RETRY is really returned.

This patch removes the restriction by keeping the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY
flag when we receive VM_FAULT_RETRY.  It means that the page fault handler
now can retry the page fault for multiple times if necessary without the
need to generate another page fault event.  Meanwhile we still keep the
FAULT_FLAG_TRIED flag so page fault handler can still identify whether a
page fault is the first attempt or not.

Then we'll have these combinations of fault flags (only considering
ALLOW_RETRY flag and TRIED flag):

  - ALLOW_RETRY and !TRIED:  this means the page fault allows to
                             retry, and this is the first try

  - ALLOW_RETRY and TRIED:   this means the page fault allows to
                             retry, and this is not the first try

  - !ALLOW_RETRY and !TRIED: this means the page fault does not allow
                             to retry at all

  - !ALLOW_RETRY and TRIED:  this is forbidden and should never be used

In existing code we have multiple places that has taken special care of
the first condition above by checking against (fault_flags &
FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY).  This patch introduces a simple helper to detect
the first retry of a page fault by checking against both (fault_flags &
FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY) and !(fault_flag & FAULT_FLAG_TRIED) because now
even the 2nd try will have the ALLOW_RETRY set, then use that helper in
all existing special paths.  One example is in __lock_page_or_retry(), now
we'll drop the mmap_sem only in the first attempt of page fault and we'll
keep it in follow up retries, so old locking behavior will be retained.

This will be a nice enhancement for current code [2] at the same time a
supporting material for the future userfaultfd-writeprotect work, since in
that work there will always be an explicit userfault writeprotect retry
for protected pages, and if that cannot resolve the page fault (e.g., when
userfaultfd-writeprotect is used in conjunction with swapped pages) then
we'll possibly need a 3rd retry of the page fault.  It might also benefit
other potential users who will have similar requirement like userfault
write-protection.

GUP code is not touched yet and will be covered in follow up patch.

1eb6234e52 mm: swap: make page_evictable() inline
When backporting commit 9c4e6b1a70 ("mm, mlock, vmscan: no more skipping
pagevecs") to our 4.9 kernel, our test bench noticed around 10% down with
a couple of vm-scalability's test cases (lru-file-readonce,
lru-file-readtwice and lru-file-mmap-read).  I didn't see that much down
on my VM (32c-64g-2nodes).  It might be caused by the test configuration,
which is 32c-256g with NUMA disabled and the tests were run in root memcg,
so the tests actually stress only one inactive and active lru.  It sounds
not very usual in mordern production environment.

That commit did two major changes:
1. Call page_evictable()
2. Use smp_mb to force the PG_lru set visible

It looks they contribute the most overhead.  The page_evictable() is a
function which does function prologue and epilogue, and that was used by
page reclaim path only.  However, lru add is a very hot path, so it sounds
better to make it inline.  However, it calls page_mapping() which is not
inlined either, but the disassemble shows it doesn't do push and pop
operations and it sounds not very straightforward to inline it.

Other than this, it sounds smp_mb() is not necessary for x86 since
SetPageLRU is atomic which enforces memory barrier already, replace it
with smp_mb__after_atomic() in the following patch.

With the two fixes applied, the tests can get back around 5% on that test
bench and get back normal on my VM.  Since the test bench configuration is
not that usual and I also saw around 6% up on the latest upstream, so it
sounds good enough IMHO.

The below is test data (lru-file-readtwice throughput) against the v5.6-rc4:
	mainline	w/ inline fix
          150MB            154MB

With this patch the throughput gets 2.67% up.  The data with using
smp_mb__after_atomic() is showed in the following patch.

Shakeel Butt did the below test:

On a real machine with limiting the 'dd' on a single node and reading 100
GiB sparse file (less than a single node).  Just ran a single instance to
not cause the lru lock contention.  The cmdline used is "dd if=file-100GiB
of=/dev/null bs=4k".  Ran the cmd 10 times with drop_caches in between and
measured the time it took.

Without patch: 56.64143 +- 0.672 sec

With patches: 56.10 +- 0.21 sec

Now we use rb_parent to get next, while this is not necessary.

When prev is NULL, this means vma should be the first element in the list.
Then next should be current first one (mm->mmap), no matter whether we

After removing it, the code shows the beauty of symmetry.

89b15332af mm: drop mmap_sem before calling balance_dirty_pages() in write fault
One of our services is observing hanging ps/top/etc under heavy write
IO, and the task states show this is an mmap_sem priority inversion:

A write fault is holding the mmap_sem in read-mode and waiting for
(heavily cgroup-limited) IO in balance_dirty_pages():

    balance_dirty_pages+0x724/0x905
    balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited+0x254/0x390
    fault_dirty_shared_page.isra.96+0x4a/0x90
    do_wp_page+0x33e/0x400
    __handle_mm_fault+0x6f0/0xfa0
    handle_mm_fault+0xe4/0x200
    __do_page_fault+0x22b/0x4a0
    page_fault+0x45/0x50

Somebody tries to change the address space, contending for the mmap_sem in
write-mode:

    call_rwsem_down_write_failed_killable+0x13/0x20
    do_mprotect_pkey+0xa8/0x330
    SyS_mprotect+0xf/0x20
    do_syscall_64+0x5b/0x100
    entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2

The waiting writer locks out all subsequent readers to avoid lock
starvation, and several threads can be seen hanging like this:

    call_rwsem_down_read_failed+0x14/0x30
    proc_pid_cmdline_read+0xa0/0x480
    __vfs_read+0x23/0x140
    vfs_read+0x87/0x130
    SyS_read+0x42/0x90
    do_syscall_64+0x5b/0x100
    entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2

To fix this, do what we do for cache read faults already: drop the
mmap_sem before calling into anything IO bound, in this case the
balance_dirty_pages() function, and return VM_FAULT_RETRY.

9c276cc65a mm: introduce MADV_COLD
Patch series "Introduce MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT", v7.

- Background

The Android terminology used for forking a new process and starting an app
from scratch is a cold start, while resuming an existing app is a hot
start.  While we continually try to improve the performance of cold
starts, hot starts will always be significantly less power hungry as well
as faster so we are trying to make hot start more likely than cold start.

To increase hot start, Android userspace manages the order that apps
should be killed in a process called ActivityManagerService.
ActivityManagerService tracks every Android app or service that the user
could be interacting with at any time and translates that into a ranked
list for lmkd(low memory killer daemon).  They are likely to be killed by
lmkd if the system has to reclaim memory.  In that sense they are similar
to entries in any other cache.  Those apps are kept alive for
opportunistic performance improvements but those performance improvements
will vary based on the memory requirements of individual workloads.

- Problem

Naturally, cached apps were dominant consumers of memory on the system.
However, they were not significant consumers of swap even though they are
good candidate for swap.  Under investigation, swapping out only begins
once the low zone watermark is hit and kswapd wakes up, but the overall
allocation rate in the system might trip lmkd thresholds and cause a
cached process to be killed(we measured performance swapping out vs.
zapping the memory by killing a process.  Unsurprisingly, zapping is 10x
times faster even though we use zram which is much faster than real
storage) so kill from lmkd will often satisfy the high zone watermark,
resulting in very few pages actually being moved to swap.

- Approach

The approach we chose was to use a new interface to allow userspace to
proactively reclaim entire processes by leveraging platform information.
This allowed us to bypass the inaccuracy of the kernel’s LRUs for pages
that are known to be cold from userspace and to avoid races with lmkd by
reclaiming apps as soon as they entered the cached state.  Additionally,
it could provide many chances for platform to use much information to
optimize memory efficiency.

To achieve the goal, the patchset introduce two new options for madvise.
One is MADV_COLD which will deactivate activated pages and the other is
MADV_PAGEOUT which will reclaim private pages instantly.  These new
options complement MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE by adding non-destructive
ways to gain some free memory space.  MADV_PAGEOUT is similar to
MADV_DONTNEED in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not
currently needed and should be reclaimed immediately; MADV_COLD is similar
to MADV_FREE in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not
currently needed and should be reclaimed when memory pressure rises.

This patch (of 5):

When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range, it could
give a hint to kernel that the pages can be reclaimed when memory pressure
happens but data should be preserved for future use.  This could reduce
workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance.

This patch introduces the new MADV_COLD hint to madvise(2) syscall.
MADV_COLD can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected
to be used in the near future.  The hint can help kernel in deciding which
pages to evict early during memory pressure.

It works for every LRU pages like MADV_[DONTNEED|FREE]. IOW, It moves

	active file page -> inactive file LRU
	active anon page -> inacdtive anon LRU

Unlike MADV_FREE, it doesn't move active anonymous pages to inactive file
LRU's head because MADV_COLD is a little bit different symantic.
MADV_FREE means it's okay to discard when the memory pressure because the
content of the page is *garbage* so freeing such pages is almost zero
overhead since we don't need to swap out and access afterward causes just
minor fault.  Thus, it would make sense to put those freeable pages in
inactive file LRU to compete other used-once pages.  It makes sense for
implmentaion point of view, too because it's not swapbacked memory any
longer until it would be re-dirtied.  Even, it could give a bonus to make
them be reclaimed on swapless system.  However, MADV_COLD doesn't mean
garbage so reclaiming them requires swap-out/in in the end so it's bigger
cost.  Since we have designed VM LRU aging based on cost-model, anonymous
cold pages would be better to position inactive anon's LRU list, not file
LRU.  Furthermore, it would help to avoid unnecessary scanning if system
doesn't have a swap device.  Let's start simpler way without adding
complexity at this moment.  However, keep in mind, too that it's a caveat
that workloads with a lot of pages cache are likely to ignore MADV_COLD on
anonymous memory because we rarely age anonymous LRU lists.

* man-page material

MADV_COLD (since Linux x.x)

Pages in the specified regions will be treated as less-recently-accessed
compared to pages in the system with similar access frequencies.  In
contrast to MADV_FREE, the contents of the region are preserved regardless
of subsequent writes to pages.

5e1f0f098b mm, compaction: capture a page under direct compaction
Compaction is inherently race-prone as a suitable page freed during
compaction can be allocated by any parallel task.  This patch uses a
capture_control structure to isolate a page immediately when it is freed
by a direct compactor in the slow path of the page allocator.  The
intent is to avoid redundant scanning.

Latency is only moderately affected but the devil is in the details.  A
closer examination indicates that base page fault latency is reduced but
latency of huge pages is increased as it takes creater care to succeed.
Part of the "problem" is that allocation success rates are close to 100%
even when under pressure and compaction gets harder

dbe2d4e4f1 mm, compaction: round-robin the order while searching the free lists for a target
As compaction proceeds and creates high-order blocks, the free list
search gets less efficient as the larger blocks are used as compaction
targets.  Eventually, the larger blocks will be behind the migration
scanner for partially migrated pageblocks and the search fails.  This
patch round-robins what orders are searched so that larger blocks can be
ignored and find smaller blocks that can be used as migration targets.

The overall impact was small on 1-socket but it avoids corner cases
where the migration/free scanners meet prematurely or situations where
many of the pageblocks encountered by the free scanner are almost full
instead of being properly packed.  Previous testing had indicated that
without this patch there were occasional large spikes in the free
scanner without this patch.

804d3121ba mm, compaction: avoid rescanning the same pageblock multiple times
Pageblocks are marked for skip when no pages are isolated after a scan.
However, it's possible to hit corner cases where the migration scanner
gets stuck near the boundary between the source and target scanner.  Due
to pages being migrated in blocks of COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX, pages that are
migrated can be reallocated before the pageblock is complete.  The
pageblock is not necessarily skipped so it can be rescanned multiple
times.  Similarly, a pageblock with some dirty/writeback pages may fail
to migrate and be rescanned until writeback completes which is wasteful.

This patch tracks if a pageblock is being rescanned.  If so, then the
entire pageblock will be migrated as one operation.  This narrows the
race window during which pages can be reallocated during migration.
Secondly, if there are pages that cannot be isolated then the pageblock
will still be fully scanned and marked for skipping.  On the second
rescan, the pageblock skip is set and the migration scanner makes
progress.

Negligible difference but this was likely a case when the specific
corner case was not hit.  A previous run of the same patch based on an
earlier iteration of the series showed large differences where migration
rates could be halved when the corner case was hit.

The specific corner case where migration scan rates go through the roof
was due to a dirty/writeback pageblock located at the boundary of the
migration/free scanner did not happen in this case.  When it does
happen, the scan rates multipled by massive margins.

70b44595ea mm, compaction: use free lists to quickly locate a migration source
The migration scanner is a linear scan of a zone with a potentiall large
search space.  Furthermore, many pageblocks are unusable such as those
filled with reserved pages or partially filled with pages that cannot
migrate.  These still get scanned in the common case of allocating a THP
and the cost accumulates.

The patch uses a partial search of the free lists to locate a migration
source candidate that is marked as MOVABLE when allocating a THP.  It
prefers picking a block with a larger number of free pages already on
the basis that there are fewer pages to migrate to free the entire
block.  The lowest PFN found during searches is tracked as the basis of
the start for the linear search after the first search of the free list
fails.  After the search, the free list is shuffled so that the next
search will not encounter the same page.  If the search fails then the
subsequent searches will be shorter and the linear scanner is used.

If this search fails, or if the request is for a small or
unmovable/reclaimable allocation then the linear scanner is still used.
It is somewhat pointless to use the list search in those cases.  Small
free pages must be used for the search and there is no guarantee that
movable pages are located within that block that are contiguous.

This shows an improvement in allocation latencies with similar

reduction in migration scanning and a 8% reduction on system CPU usage.
A 2-socket machine showed similar benefits.

efe771c760 mm, compaction: always finish scanning of a full pageblock
When compaction is finishing, it uses a flag to ensure the pageblock is
complete but it makes sense to always complete migration of a pageblock.
Minimally, skip information is based on a pageblock and partially
scanned pageblocks may incur more scanning in the future.  The pageblock
skip handling also becomes more strict later in the series and the hint
is more useful if a complete pageblock was always scanned.

The potentially impacts latency as more scanning is done but it's not a
consistent win or loss as the scanning is not always a high percentage
of the pageblock and sometimes it is offset by future reductions in
scanning.  Hence, the results are not presented this time due to a
misleading mix of gains/losses without any clear pattern.  However, full
scanning of the pageblock is important for later patches.

compact_control spans two cache lines with write-intensive lines on

c5fbd937b6 mm, compaction: shrink compact_control
Patch series "Increase success rates and reduce latency of compaction", v3.

This series reduces scan rates and success rates of compaction,
primarily by using the free lists to shorten scans, better controlling
of skip information and whether multiple scanners can target the same
block and capturing pageblocks before being stolen by parallel requests.
The series is based on mmotm from January 9th, 2019 with the previous
compaction series reverted.

I'm mostly using thpscale to measure the impact of the series.  The
benchmark creates a large file, maps it, faults it, punches holes in the
mapping so that the virtual address space is fragmented and then tries
to allocate THP.  It re-executes for different numbers of threads.  From
a fragmentation perspective, the workload is relatively benign but it
does stress compaction.

The overall impact on latencies for a 1-socket machine is

That's a nearly perfect allocation success rate.

The biggest impact is on the scan rates

Compaction migrate scanned    55893379    19341254
Compaction free scanned      474739990    11903963

The number of pages scanned for migration was reduced by 65% and the
free scanner was reduced by 97.5%.  So much less work in exchange for
lower latency and better success rates.

The series was also evaluated using a workload that heavily fragments
memory but the benefits there are also significant, albeit not
presented.

It was commented that we should be rethinking scanning entirely and to a
large extent I agree.  However, to achieve that you need a lot of this
series in place first so it's best to make the linear scanners as best
as possible before ripping them out.

This patch (of 22):

The isolate and migrate scanners should never isolate more than a
pageblock of pages so unsigned int is sufficient saving 8 bytes on a
64-bit build.

a9cd410a3d mm/page_alloc.c: memory hotplug: free pages as higher order
When freeing pages are done with higher order, time spent on coalescing
pages by buddy allocator can be reduced.  With section size of 256MB,
hot add latency of a single section shows improvement from 50-60 ms to
less than 1 ms, hence improving the hot add latency by 60 times.  Modify
external providers of online callback to align with the change.

0a79cdad5e mm: use alloc_flags to record if kswapd can wake
This is a preparation patch that copies the GFP flag __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM
into alloc_flags.  This is a preparation patch only that avoids having to
pass gfp_mask through a long callchain in a future patch.

Note that the setting in the fast path happens in alloc_flags_nofragment()
and it may be claimed that this has nothing to do with ALLOC_NO_FRAGMENT.
That's true in this patch but is not true later so it's done now for
easier review to show where the flag needs to be recorded.

No functional change.

6bb154504f mm, page_alloc: spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation
Patch series "Fragmentation avoidance improvements", v5.

It has been noted before that fragmentation avoidance (aka
anti-fragmentation) is not perfect. Given sufficient time or an adverse
workload, memory gets fragmented and the long-term success of high-order
allocations degrades. This series defines an adverse workload, a definition
of external fragmentation events (including serious) ones and a series
that reduces the level of those fragmentation events.

The details of the workload and the consequences are described in more
detail in the changelogs. However, from patch 1, this is a high-level
summary of the adverse workload. The exact details are found in the
mmtests implementation.

The broad details of the workload are as follows;

1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done
   as part of the testing for this patch)
2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently.
   Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not
   created in advance (fio parameterr create_on_open=1) and fallocate
   is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates
   a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size
   of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache
   pages get mixed
3. Warm up a number of fio read-only threads accessing the same files
   created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it
   took to create the files. It'll fault back in old data and further
   interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on
   memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get
   stolen.
4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate
   75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of
   threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP
   threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA
   scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less
   than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated
   and what the fault latency was in microseconds
5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation,
   the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate.
6. Cleanup

Overall the series reduces external fragmentation causing events by over 94%
on 1 and 2 socket machines, which in turn impacts high-order allocation
success rates over the long term. There are differences in latencies and
high-order allocation success rates. Latencies are a mixed bag as they
are vulnerable to exact system state and whether allocations succeeded
so they are treated as a secondary metric.

Patch 1 uses lower zones if they are populated and have free memory
	instead of fragmenting a higher zone. It's special cased to
	handle a Normal->DMA32 fallback with the reasons explained
	in the changelog.

Patch 2-4 boosts watermarks temporarily when an external fragmentation
	event occurs. kswapd wakes to reclaim a small amount of old memory
	and then wakes kcompactd on completion to recover the system
	slightly. This introduces some overhead in the slowpath. The level
	of boosting can be tuned or disabled depending on the tolerance
	for fragmentation vs allocation latency.

Patch 5 stalls some movable allocation requests to let kswapd from patch 4
	make some progress. The duration of the stalls is very low but it
	is possible to tune the system to avoid fragmentation events if
	larger stalls can be tolerated.

The bulk of the improvement in fragmentation avoidance is from patches
1-4 but patch 5 can deal with a rare corner case and provides the option
of tuning a system for THP allocation success rates in exchange for
some stalls to control fragmentation.

This patch (of 5):

The page allocator zone lists are iterated based on the watermarks of each
zone which does not take anti-fragmentation into account.  On x86, node 0
may have multiple zones while other nodes have one zone.  A consequence is
that tasks running on node 0 may fragment ZONE_NORMAL even though
ZONE_DMA32 has plenty of free memory.  This patch special cases the
allocator fast path such that it'll try an allocation from a lower local
zone before fragmenting a higher zone.  In this case, stealing of
pageblocks or orders larger than a pageblock are still allowed in the fast
path as they are uninteresting from a fragmentation point of view.

This was evaluated using a benchmark designed to fragment memory before
attempting THP allocations.  It's implemented in mmtests as the following
configurations

configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale
configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-defrag
configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale-madvhugepage

e.g. from mmtests
./run-mmtests.sh --run-monitor --config configs/config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale test-run-1

The broad details of the workload are as follows;

1. Create an XFS filesystem (not specified in the configuration but done
   as part of the testing for this patch).
2. Start 4 fio threads that write a number of 64K files inefficiently.
   Inefficiently means that files are created on first access and not
   created in advance (fio parameter create_on_open=1) and fallocate
   is not used (fallocate=none). With multiple IO issuers this creates
   a mix of slab and page cache allocations over time. The total size
   of the files is 150% physical memory so that the slabs and page cache
   pages get mixed.
3. Warm up a number of fio read-only processes accessing the same files
   created in step 2. This part runs for the same length of time it
   took to create the files. It'll refault old data and further
   interleave slab and page cache allocations. As it's now low on
   memory due to step 2, fragmentation occurs as pageblocks get
   stolen.
4. While step 3 is still running, start a process that tries to allocate
   75% of memory as huge pages with a number of threads. The number of
   threads is based on a (NR_CPUS_SOCKET - NR_FIO_THREADS)/4 to avoid THP
   threads contending with fio, any other threads or forcing cross-NUMA
   scheduling. Note that the test has not been used on a machine with less
   than 8 cores. The benchmark records whether huge pages were allocated
   and what the fault latency was in microseconds.
5. Measure the number of events potentially causing external fragmentation,
   the fault latency and the huge page allocation success rate.
6. Cleanup the test files.

Note that due to the use of IO and page cache that this benchmark is not
suitable for running on large machines where the time to fragment memory
may be excessive.  Also note that while this is one mix that generates
fragmentation that it's not the only mix that generates fragmentation.
Differences in workload that are more slab-intensive or whether SLUB is
used with high-order pages may yield different results.

When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the
mm_page_alloc_extfrag ftrace event.  If the fallback_order is smaller than
a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered to be an
"external fragmentation event" that may cause issues in the future.
Hence, the primary metric here is the number of external fragmentation
events that occur with order < 9.  The secondary metric is allocation
latency and huge page allocation success rates but note that differences
in latencies and what the success rate also can affect the number of
external fragmentation event which is why it's a secondary metric.

Fault latencies are slightly reduced while allocation success rates remain
at zero as this configuration does not make any special effort to allocate
THP and fio is heavily active at the time and either filling memory or
keeping pages resident.  However, a 49% reduction of serious fragmentation
events reduces the changes of external fragmentation being a problem in
the future.

Vlastimil asked during review for a breakdown of the allocation types
that are falling back.

vanilla
   3816 MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE
 800845 MIGRATE_MOVABLE
     33 MIGRATE_UNRECLAIMABLE

patch
    735 MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE
 408135 MIGRATE_MOVABLE
     42 MIGRATE_UNRECLAIMABLE

The majority of the fallbacks are due to movable allocations and this is
consistent for the workload throughout the series so will not be presented
again as the primary source of fallbacks are movable allocations.

Movable fallbacks are sometimes considered "ok" to fallback because they
can be migrated.  The problem is that they can fill an
unmovable/reclaimable pageblock causing those allocations to fallback
later and polluting pageblocks with pages that cannot move.  If there is a
movable fallback, it is pretty much guaranteed to affect an
unmovable/reclaimable pageblock and while it might not be enough to
actually cause a unmovable/reclaimable fallback in the future, we cannot
know that in advance so the patch takes the only option available to it.
Hence, it's important to control them.  This point is also consistent
throughout the series and will not be repeated.

The reduction of external fragmentation events is slight and this is
partially due to the removal of __GFP_THISNODE in commit ac5b2c1891
("mm: thp: relax __GFP_THISNODE for MADV_HUGEPAGE mappings") as THP
allocations can now spill over to remote nodes instead of fragmenting
local memory.

There was a slight reduction in external fragmentation events although the
latencies were higher.  The allocation success rate is high enough that
the system is struggling and there is quite a lot of parallel reclaim and
compaction activity.  There is also a certain degree of luck on whether
processes start on node 0 or not for this patch but the relevance is
reduced later in the series.

Overall, the patch reduces the number of external fragmentation causing
events so the success of THP over long periods of time would be improved
for this adverse workload.

8b09549c2b vmscan: return NODE_RECLAIM_NOSCAN in node_reclaim() when CONFIG_NUMA is n
Commit fa5e084e43 ("vmscan: do not unconditionally treat zones that
fail zone_reclaim() as full") changed the return value of
node_reclaim().  The original return value 0 means NODE_RECLAIM_SOME
after this commit.

While the return value of node_reclaim() when CONFIG_NUMA is n is not
changed.  This will leads to call zone_watermark_ok() again.

This patch fixes the return value by adjusting to NODE_RECLAIM_NOSCAN.
Since node_reclaim() is only called in page_alloc.c, move it to
mm/internal.h.

2b74030354 mm: Change return type int to vm_fault_t for fault handlers
Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler.  For now, this is just
documenting that the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an
errno.  Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a
distinct type.

Ref-> commit 1c8f422059 ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t")

The aim is to change the return type of finish_fault() and
handle_mm_fault() to vm_fault_t type.  As part of that clean up return
type of all other recursively called functions have been changed to
vm_fault_t type.

The places from where handle_mm_fault() is getting invoked will be
change to vm_fault_t type but in a separate patch.

vmf_error() is the newly introduce inline function in 4.17-rc6.

Merge tag 'xfs-4.18-merge-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux

Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
 "New features this cycle include the ability to relabel mounted
  filesystems, support for fallocated swapfiles, and using FUA for pure
  data O_DSYNC directio writes. With this cycle we begin to integrate
  online filesystem repair and refactor the growfs code in preparation
  for eventual subvolume support, though the road ahead for both
  features is quite long.

  There are also numerous refactorings of the iomap code to remove
  unnecessary log overhead, to disentangle some of the quota code, and
  to prepare for buffer head removal in a future upstream kernel.

  Metadata validation continues to improve, both in the hot path
  veifiers and the online filesystem check code. I anticipate sending a
  second pull request in a few days with more metadata validation
  improvements.

  This series has been run through a full xfstests run over the weekend
  and through a quick xfstests run against this morning's master, with
  no major failures reported.

The reason for this error is that the span of MOVABLE_ZONE is extended

another problem happened.

It's so late time to fix the later problem so I decide to reverting the

bad8c6c0b1 mm/cma: manage the memory of the CMA area by using the ZONE_MOVABLE
Patch series "mm/cma: manage the memory of the CMA area by using the
ZONE_MOVABLE", v2.

0. History

This patchset is the follow-up of the discussion about the "Introduce
ZONE_CMA (v7)" [1].  Please reference it if more information is needed.

1. What does this patch do?

This patch changes the management way for the memory of the CMA area in
the MM subsystem.  Currently the memory of the CMA area is managed by
the zone where their pfn is belong to.  However, this approach has some
problems since MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to handle the
situation that different characteristic memories are in a single zone.
To solve this issue, this patch try to manage all the memory of the CMA
area by using the MOVABLE zone.  In MM subsystem's point of view,
characteristic of the memory on the MOVABLE zone and the memory of the
CMA area are the same.  So, managing the memory of the CMA area by using
the MOVABLE zone will not have any problem.

2. Motivation

There are some problems with current approach.  See following.  Although
these problem would not be inherent and it could be fixed without this
conception change, it requires many hooks addition in various code path
and it would be intrusive to core MM and would be really error-prone.
Therefore, I try to solve them with this new approach.  Anyway,
following is the problems of the current implementation.

o CMA memory utilization

First, following is the freepage calculation logic in MM.

 - For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage
 - For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage

Freepages on the CMA area is used after the normal freepages in the zone
where the memory of the CMA area is belong to are exhausted.  At that
moment that the number of the normal freepages is zero, so

 - For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage
 - For unmovable allocation: freepage = 0

If unmovable allocation comes at this moment, allocation request would
fail to pass the watermark check and reclaim is started.  After reclaim,
there would exist the normal freepages so freepages on the CMA areas
would not be used.

FYI, there is another attempt [2] trying to solve this problem in lkml.
And, as far as I know, Qualcomm also has out-of-tree solution for this
problem.

Useless reclaim:

There is no logic to distinguish CMA pages in the reclaim path.  Hence,
CMA page is reclaimed even if the system just needs the page that can be
usable for the kernel allocation.

Atomic allocation failure:

This is also related to the fallback allocation policy for the memory of
the CMA area.  Consider the situation that the number of the normal
freepages is *zero* since the bunch of the movable allocation requests
come.  Kswapd would not be woken up due to following freepage
calculation logic.

- For movable allocation: freepage = total freepage = CMA freepage

If atomic unmovable allocation request comes at this moment, it would
fails due to following logic.

- For unmovable allocation: freepage = total freepage - CMA freepage = 0

It was reported by Aneesh [3].

Useless compaction:

Usual high-order allocation request is unmovable allocation request and
it cannot be served from the memory of the CMA area.  In compaction,
migration scanner try to migrate the page in the CMA area and make
high-order page there.  As mentioned above, it cannot be usable for the
unmovable allocation request so it's just waste.

3. Current approach and new approach

Current approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the
zone where their pfn is belong to.  However, these memory should be
distinguishable since they have a strong limitation.  So, they are
marked as MIGRATE_CMA in pageblock flag and handled specially.  However,
as mentioned in section 2, the MM subsystem doesn't have enough logic to
deal with this special pageblock so many problems raised.

New approach is that the memory of the CMA area is managed by the
MOVABLE zone.  MM already have enough logic to deal with special zone
like as HIGHMEM and MOVABLE zone.  So, managing the memory of the CMA
area by the MOVABLE zone just naturally work well because constraints
for the memory of the CMA area that the memory should always be
migratable is the same with the constraint for the MOVABLE zone.

There is one side-effect for the usability of the memory of the CMA
area.  The use of MOVABLE zone is only allowed for a request with
GFP_HIGHMEM && GFP_MOVABLE so now the memory of the CMA area is also
only allowed for this gfp flag.  Before this patchset, a request with
GFP_MOVABLE can use them.  IMO, It would not be a big issue since most
of GFP_MOVABLE request also has GFP_HIGHMEM flag.  For example, file
cache page and anonymous page.  However, file cache page for blockdev
file is an exception.  Request for it has no GFP_HIGHMEM flag.  There is
pros and cons on this exception.  In my experience, blockdev file cache
pages are one of the top reason that causes cma_alloc() to fail
temporarily.  So, we can get more guarantee of cma_alloc() success by
discarding this case.

Note that there is no change in admin POV since this patchset is just
for internal implementation change in MM subsystem.  Just one minor
difference for admin is that the memory stat for CMA area will be
printed in the MOVABLE zone.  That's all.

666feb21a0 mm, migrate: remove reason argument from new_page_t
No allocation callback is using this argument anymore.  new_page_node
used to use this parameter to convey node_id resp.  migration error up
to move_pages code (do_move_page_to_node_array).  The error status never
made it into the final status field and we have a better way to
communicate node id to the status field now.  All other allocation
callbacks simply ignored the argument so we can drop it finally.

a49bd4d716 mm, numa: rework do_pages_move
Patch series "unclutter thp migration"

Motivation:

THP migration is hacked into the generic migration with rather
surprising semantic.  The migration allocation callback is supposed to
check whether the THP can be migrated at once and if that is not the
case then it allocates a simple page to migrate.  unmap_and_move then
fixes that up by splitting the THP into small pages while moving the
head page to the newly allocated order-0 page.  Remaining pages are
moved to the LRU list by split_huge_page.  The same happens if the THP
allocation fails.  This is really ugly and error prone [2].

I also believe that split_huge_page to the LRU lists is inherently wrong
because all tail pages are not migrated.  Some callers will just work
around that by retrying (e.g.  memory hotplug).  There are other pfn
walkers which are simply broken though.  e.g. madvise_inject_error will
migrate head and then advances next pfn by the huge page size.
do_move_page_to_node_array, queue_pages_range (migrate_pages, mbind),
will simply split the THP before migration if the THP migration is not
supported then falls back to single page migration but it doesn't handle
tail pages if the THP migration path is not able to allocate a fresh THP
so we end up with ENOMEM and fail the whole migration which is a
questionable behavior.  Page compaction doesn't try to migrate large
pages so it should be immune.

The first patch reworks do_pages_move which relies on a very ugly
calling semantic when the return status is pushed to the migration path
via private pointer.  It uses pre allocated fixed size batching to
achieve that.  We simply cannot do the same if a THP is to be split
during the migration path which is done in the patch 3.  Patch 2 is
follow up cleanup which removes the mentioned return status calling
convention ugliness.

On a side note:

There are some semantic issues I have encountered on the way when
working on patch 1 but I am not addressing them here.  E.g. trying to
move THP tail pages will result in either success or EBUSY (the later
one more likely once we isolate head from the LRU list).  Hugetlb
reports EACCESS on tail pages.  Some errors are reported via status
parameter but migration failures are not even though the original
`reason' argument suggests there was an intention to do so.  From a
quick look into git history this never worked.  I have tried to keep the
semantic unchanged.

Then there is a relatively minor thing that the page isolation might
fail because of pages not being on the LRU - e.g. because they are
sitting on the per-cpu LRU caches.  Easily fixable.

This patch (of 3):

do_pages_move is supposed to move user defined memory (an array of
addresses) to the user defined numa nodes (an array of nodes one for
each address).  The user provided status array then contains resulting
numa node for each address or an error.  The semantic of this function
is little bit confusing because only some errors are reported back.
Notably migrate_pages error is only reported via the return value.  This
patch doesn't try to address these semantic nuances but rather change
the underlying implementation.

Currently we are processing user input (which can be really large) in
batches which are stored to a temporarily allocated page.  Each address
is resolved to its struct page and stored to page_to_node structure
along with the requested target numa node.  The array of these
structures is then conveyed down the page migration path via private
argument.  new_page_node then finds the corresponding structure and
allocates the proper target page.

What is the problem with the current implementation and why to change
it? Apart from being quite ugly it also doesn't cope with unexpected
pages showing up on the migration list inside migrate_pages path.  That
doesn't happen currently but the follow up patch would like to make the
thp migration code more clear and that would need to split a THP into
the list for some cases.

How does the new implementation work? Well, instead of batching into a
fixed size array we simply batch all pages that should be migrated to
the same node and isolate all of them into a linked list which doesn't
require any additional storage.  This should work reasonably well
because page migration usually migrates larger ranges of memory to a
specific node.  So the common case should work equally well as the
current implementation.  Even if somebody constructs an input where the
target numa nodes would be interleaved we shouldn't see a large
performance impact because page migration alone doesn't really benefit
from batching.  mmap_sem batching for the lookup is quite questionable
and isolate_lru_page which would benefit from batching is not using it
even in the current implementation.

This reverts commit 152e93af3c.

It was a nice cleanup in theory, but as Nicolai Stange points out, we do
need to make the page dirty for the copy-on-write case even when we
didn't end up making it writable, since the dirty bit is what we use to
check that we've gone through a COW cycle.

152e93af3c mm, thp: Do not make pmd/pud dirty without a reason
Currently we make page table entries dirty all the time regardless of
access type and don't even consider if the mapping is write-protected.
The reasoning is that we don't really need dirty tracking on THP and
making the entry dirty upfront may save some time on first write to the
page.

Unfortunately, such approach may result in false-positive
can_follow_write_pmd() for huge zero page or read-only shmem file.

Let's only make page dirty only if we about to write to the page anyway
(as we do for small pages).

I've restructured the code to make entry dirty inside
maybe_p[mu]d_mkwrite(). It also takes into account if the vma is
write-protected.

2583d67132 mm, compaction: split off flag for not updating skip hints
Pageblock skip hints were added as a heuristic for compaction, which
shares core code with CMA.  Since CMA reliability would suffer from the
heuristics, compact_control flag ignore_skip_hint was added for the CMA
use case.  Since 6815bf3f23 ("mm/compaction: respect ignore_skip_hint
in update_pageblock_skip") the flag also means that CMA won't *update*
the skip hints in addition to ignoring them.

Today, direct compaction can also ignore the skip hints in the last
resort attempt, but there's no reason not to set them when isolation
fails in such case.  Thus, this patch splits off a new no_set_skip_hint
flag to avoid the updating, which only CMA sets.  This should improve
the heuristics a bit, and allow us to simplify the persistent skip bit
handling as the next step.

cd04ae1e2d mm, oom: do not rely on TIF_MEMDIE for memory reserves access
For ages we have been relying on TIF_MEMDIE thread flag to mark OOM
victims and then, among other things, to give these threads full access
to memory reserves.  There are few shortcomings of this implementation,
though.

First of all and the most serious one is that the full access to memory
reserves is quite dangerous because we leave no safety room for the
system to operate and potentially do last emergency steps to move on.

Secondly this flag is per task_struct while the OOM killer operates on
mm_struct granularity so all processes sharing the given mm are killed.
Giving the full access to all these task_structs could lead to a quick
memory reserves depletion.  We have tried to reduce this risk by giving
TIF_MEMDIE only to the main thread and the currently allocating task but
that doesn't really solve this problem while it surely opens up a room
for corner cases - e.g.  GFP_NO{FS,IO} requests might loop inside the
allocator without access to memory reserves because a particular thread
was not the group leader.

Now that we have the oom reaper and that all oom victims are reapable
after 1b51e65eab ("oom, oom_reaper: allow to reap mm shared by the
kthreads") we can be more conservative and grant only partial access to
memory reserves because there are reasonable chances of the parallel
memory freeing.  We still want some access to reserves because we do not
want other consumers to eat up the victim's freed memory.  oom victims
will still contend with __GFP_HIGH users but those shouldn't be so
aggressive to starve oom victims completely.

Introduce ALLOC_OOM flag and give all tsk_is_oom_victim tasks access to
the half of the reserves.  This makes the access to reserves independent
on which task has passed through mark_oom_victim.  Also drop any usage
of TIF_MEMDIE from the page allocator proper and replace it by
tsk_is_oom_victim as well which will make page_alloc.c completely
TIF_MEMDIE free finally.

CONFIG_MMU=n doesn't have oom reaper so let's stick to the original
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS approach.

There is a demand to make the oom killer memcg aware which will imply
many tasks killed at once.  This change will allow such a usecase
without worrying about complete memory reserves depletion.

72675e131e mm, memory_hotplug: drop zone from build_all_zonelists
build_all_zonelists gets a zone parameter to initialize zone's pagesets.
There is only a single user which gives a non-NULL zone parameter and
that one doesn't really need the rest of the build_all_zonelists (see
commit 6dcd73d701 ("memory-hotplug: allocate zone's pcp before
onlining pages")).

Therefore remove setup_zone_pageset from build_all_zonelists and call it
from its only user directly.  This will also remove a pointless zonlists
rebuilding which is always good.

3ea277194d mm, mprotect: flush TLB if potentially racing with a parallel reclaim leaving stale TLB entries
Nadav Amit identified a theoritical race between page reclaim and
mprotect due to TLB flushes being batched outside of the PTL being held.

He described the race as follows:

        CPU0                            CPU1
        ----                            ----
                                        user accesses memory using RW PTE
                                        [PTE now cached in TLB]
        try_to_unmap_one()
        ==> ptep_get_and_clear()
        ==> set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending()
                                        mprotect(addr, PROT_READ)
                                        ==> change_pte_range()
                                        ==> [ PTE non-present - no flush ]

                                        user writes using cached RW PTE
        ...

        try_to_unmap_flush()

The same type of race exists for reads when protecting for PROT_NONE and
also exists for operations that can leave an old TLB entry behind such
as munmap, mremap and madvise.

For some operations like mprotect, it's not necessarily a data integrity
issue but it is a correctness issue as there is a window where an
mprotect that limits access still allows access.  For munmap, it's
potentially a data integrity issue although the race is massive as an
munmap, mmap and return to userspace must all complete between the
window when reclaim drops the PTL and flushes the TLB.  However, it's
theoritically possible so handle this issue by flushing the mm if
reclaim is potentially currently batching TLB flushes.

Other instances where a flush is required for a present pte should be ok
as either the page lock is held preventing parallel reclaim or a page
reference count is elevated preventing a parallel free leading to
corruption.  In the case of page_mkclean there isn't an obvious path
that userspace could take advantage of without using the operations that
are guarded by this patch.  Other users such as gup as a race with
reclaim looks just at PTEs.  huge page variants should be ok as they
don't race with reclaim.  mincore only looks at PTEs.  userfault also
should be ok as if a parallel reclaim takes place, it will either fault
the page back in or read some of the data before the flush occurs
triggering a fault.

Note that a variant of this patch was acked by Andy Lutomirski but this
was for the x86 parts on top of his PCID work which didn't make the 4.13
merge window as expected.  His ack is dropped from this version and
there will be a follow-on patch on top of PCID that will include his
ack.

dcda9b0471 mm, tree wide: replace __GFP_REPEAT by __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL with more useful semantic
__GFP_REPEAT was designed to allow retry-but-eventually-fail semantic to
the page allocator.  This has been true but only for allocations
requests larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.  It has been always
ignored for smaller sizes.  This is a bit unfortunate because there is
no way to express the same semantic for those requests and they are
considered too important to fail so they might end up looping in the
page allocator for ever, similarly to GFP_NOFAIL requests.

Now that the whole tree has been cleaned up and accidental or misled
usage of __GFP_REPEAT flag has been removed for !costly requests we can
give the original flag a better name and more importantly a more useful
semantic.  Let's rename it to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL which tells the user
that the allocator would try really hard but there is no promise of a
success.  This will work independent of the order and overrides the
default allocator behavior.  Page allocator users have several levels of
guarantee vs.  cost options (take GFP_KERNEL as an example)

 - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_RECLAIM - optimistic allocation without _any_
   attempt to free memory at all. The most light weight mode which even
   doesn't kick the background reclaim. Should be used carefully because
   it might deplete the memory and the next user might hit the more
   aggressive reclaim

 - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (or GFP_NOWAIT)- optimistic
   allocation without any attempt to free memory from the current
   context but can wake kswapd to reclaim memory if the zone is below
   the low watermark. Can be used from either atomic contexts or when
   the request is a performance optimization and there is another
   fallback for a slow path.

 - (GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH) & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (aka GFP_ATOMIC) -
   non sleeping allocation with an expensive fallback so it can access
   some portion of memory reserves. Usually used from interrupt/bh
   context with an expensive slow path fallback.

 - GFP_KERNEL - both background and direct reclaim are allowed and the
   _default_ page allocator behavior is used. That means that !costly
   allocation requests are basically nofail but there is no guarantee of
   that behavior so failures have to be checked properly by callers
   (e.g. OOM killer victim is allowed to fail currently).

 - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY - overrides the default allocator behavior
   and all allocation requests fail early rather than cause disruptive
   reclaim (one round of reclaim in this implementation). The OOM killer
   is not invoked.

 - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL - overrides the default allocator
   behavior and all allocation requests try really hard. The request
   will fail if the reclaim cannot make any progress. The OOM killer
   won't be triggered.

 - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior
   and all allocation requests will loop endlessly until they succeed.
   This might be really dangerous especially for larger orders.

Existing users of __GFP_REPEAT are changed to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL
because they already had their semantic.  No new users are added.
__alloc_pages_slowpath is changed to bail out for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL if
there is no progress and we have already passed the OOM point.

This means that all the reclaim opportunities have been exhausted except
the most disruptive one (the OOM killer) and a user defined fallback
behavior is more sensible than keep retrying in the page allocator.

baf6a9a1db mm, compaction: finish whole pageblock to reduce fragmentation
The main goal of direct compaction is to form a high-order page for
allocation, but it should also help against long-term fragmentation when
possible.

Most lower-than-pageblock-order compactions are for non-movable
allocations, which means that if we compact in a movable pageblock and
terminate as soon as we create the high-order page, it's unlikely that
the fallback heuristics will claim the whole block.  Instead there might
be a single unmovable page in a pageblock full of movable pages, and the
next unmovable allocation might pick another pageblock and increase
long-term fragmentation.

To help against such scenarios, this patch changes the termination
criteria for compaction so that the current pageblock is finished even
though the high-order page already exists.  Note that it might be
possible that the high-order page formed elsewhere in the zone due to
parallel activity, but this patch doesn't try to detect that.

This is only done with sync compaction, because async compaction is
limited to pageblock of the same migratetype, where it cannot result in
a migratetype fallback.  (Async compaction also eagerly skips
order-aligned blocks where isolation fails, which is against the goal of
migrating away as much of the pageblock as possible.)

As a result of this patch, long-term memory fragmentation should be
reduced.

In testing based on 4.9 kernel with stress-highalloc from mmtests
configured for order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations, this patch has reduced
the number of unmovable allocations falling back to movable pageblocks
by 20%.  The number

f25ba6dccc mm, compaction: reorder fields in struct compact_control
Patch series "try to reduce fragmenting fallbacks", v3.

Last year, Johannes Weiner has reported a regression in page mobility
grouping [1] and while the exact cause was not found, I've come up with
some ways to improve it by reducing the number of allocations falling
back to different migratetype and causing permanent fragmentation.

The series was tested with mmtests stress-highalloc modified to do
GFP_KERNEL order-4 allocations, on 4.9 with "mm, vmscan: fix zone
balance check in prepare_kswapd_sleep" (without that, kcompactd indeed
wasn't woken up) on UMA machine with 4GB memory.  There were 5 repeats
of each run, as the extfrag stats are quite volatile (note the stats
below are sums, not averages, as it was less perl hacking for me).

Success rate are the same, already high due to the low allocation order
used, so I'm not including them.

Compaction stats are mostly within noise until patch 4, which decreases
the number of compactions, and migrations.  Part of that could be due to
more pageblocks marked as unmovable, and async compaction skipping
those.  This changes a bit with patch 7, but not so much.  Patch 8
increases free scanner stats and migrations, which comes from the
changed termination criteria.  Interestingly number of compactions
decreases - probably the fully compacted pageblock satisfies multiple
subsequent allocations, so it amortizes.

Next comes the extfrag tracepoint, where "fragmenting" means that an
allocation had to fallback to a pageblock of another migratetype which
wasn't fully free (which is almost all of the fallbacks).  I have
locally added another tracepoint for "Page steal" into
steal_suitable_fallback() which triggers in situations where we are
allowed to do move_freepages_block().  If we decide to also do
set_pageblock_migratetype(), it's "Pages steal with pageblock" with
break down for which allocation migratetype we are stealing and from
which fallback migratetype.  The last part "due to counting" comes from
patch 4 and counts the events where the counting of movable pages
allowed us to change pageblock's migratetype, while the number of free
pages alone wouldn't be enough to cross the threshold.

What we can see is that "Extfrag fragmenting for unmovable" and "...
placed with movable" drops with almost each patch, which is good as we
are polluting less movable pageblocks with unmovable pages.

The most significant change is patch 4 with movable page counting.  On
the other hand it increases "Extfrag fragmenting for movable" by 50%.
"Pages steal" drops though, so these movable allocation fallbacks find
only small free pages and are not allowed to steal whole pageblocks
back.  "Pages steal with pageblock" raises, because the patch increases
the chances of pageblock migratetype changes to happen.  This affects
all migratetypes.

The summary is that patch 4 is not a clear win wrt these stats, but I
believe that the tradeoff it makes is a good one.  There's less
pollution of movable pageblocks by unmovable allocations.  There's less
stealing between pageblock, and those that remain have higher chance of
changing migratetype also the pageblock itself, so it should more
faithfully reflect the migratetype of the pages within the pageblock.
The increase of movable allocations falling back to unmovable pageblock
might look dramatic, but those allocations can be migrated by compaction
when needed, and other patches in the series (7-9) improve that aspect.

Patches 7 and 8 continue the trend of reduced unmovable fallbacks and
also reduce the impact on movable fallbacks from patch 4.

This patch (of 8):

While currently there are (mostly by accident) no holes in struct
compact_control (on x86_64), but we are going to add more bool flags, so
place them all together to the end of the structure.  While at it, just
order all fields from largest to smallest.

c822f6223d mm: delete NR_PAGES_SCANNED and pgdat_reclaimable()
NR_PAGES_SCANNED counts number of pages scanned since the last page free
event in the allocator.  This was used primarily to measure the
reclaimability of zones and nodes, and determine when reclaim should
give up on them.  In that role, it has been replaced in the preceding
patches by a different mechanism.

Being implemented as an efficient vmstat counter, it was automatically
exported to userspace as well.  It's however unlikely that anyone
outside the kernel is using this counter in any meaningful way.

Remove the counter and the unused pgdat_reclaimable().

c73322d098 mm: fix 100% CPU kswapd busyloop on unreclaimable nodes
Patch series "mm: kswapd spinning on unreclaimable nodes - fixes and
cleanups".

Jia reported a scenario in which the kswapd of a node indefinitely spins
at 100% CPU usage.  We have seen similar cases at Facebook.

The kernel's current method of judging its ability to reclaim a node (or
whether to back off and sleep) is based on the amount of scanned pages
in proportion to the amount of reclaimable pages.  In Jia's and our
scenarios, there are no reclaimable pages in the node, however, and the
condition for backing off is never met.  Kswapd busyloops in an attempt
to restore the watermarks while having nothing to work with.

This series reworks the definition of an unreclaimable node based not on
scanning but on whether kswapd is able to actually reclaim pages in
MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (16) consecutive runs.  This is the same criteria
the page allocator uses for giving up on direct reclaim and invoking the
OOM killer.  If it cannot free any pages, kswapd will go to sleep and
leave further attempts to direct reclaim invocations, which will either
make progress and re-enable kswapd, or invoke the OOM killer.

Patch #1 fixes the immediate problem Jia reported, the remainder are
smaller fixlets, cleanups, and overall phasing out of the old method.

Patch #6 is the odd one out.  It's a nice cleanup to get_scan_count(),
and directly related to #5, but in itself not relevant to the series.

If the whole series is too ambitious for 4.11, I would consider the
first three patches fixes, the rest cleanups.

This patch (of 9):

Jia He reports a problem with kswapd spinning at 100% CPU when
requesting more hugepages than memory available in the system:

$ echo 4000 >/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages

top - 13:42:59 up  3:37,  1 user,  load average: 1.09, 1.03, 1.01
Tasks:   1 total,   1 running,   0 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
%Cpu(s):  0.0 us, 12.5 sy,  0.0 ni, 85.5 id,  2.0 wa,  0.0 hi,  0.0 si,  0.0 st
KiB Mem:  31371520 total, 30915136 used,   456384 free,      320 buffers
KiB Swap:  6284224 total,   115712 used,  6168512 free.    48192 cached Mem

  PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU  %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND
   76 root      20   0       0      0      0 R 100.0 0.000 217:17.29 kswapd3

At that time, there are no reclaimable pages left in the node, but as
kswapd fails to restore the high watermarks it refuses to go to sleep.

Kswapd needs to back away from nodes that fail to balance.  Up until
commit 1d82de618d ("mm, vmscan: make kswapd reclaim in terms of
nodes") kswapd had such a mechanism.  It considered zones whose
theoretically reclaimable pages it had reclaimed six times over as
unreclaimable and backed away from them.  This guard was erroneously
removed as the patch changed the definition of a balanced node.

However, simply restoring this code wouldn't help in the case reported
here: there *are* no reclaimable pages that could be scanned until the
threshold is met.  Kswapd would stay awake anyway.

Introduce a new and much simpler way of backing off.  If kswapd runs
through MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (16) cycles without reclaiming a single
page, make it back off from the node.  This is the same number of shots
direct reclaim takes before declaring OOM.  Kswapd will go to sleep on
that node until a direct reclaimer manages to reclaim some pages, thus
proving the node reclaimable again.

ce612879dd mm: move pcp and lru-pcp draining into single wq
We currently have 2 specific WQ_RECLAIM workqueues in the mm code.
vmstat_wq for updating pcp stats and lru_add_drain_wq dedicated to drain
per cpu lru caches.  This seems more than necessary because both can run
on a single WQ.  Both do not block on locks requiring a memory
allocation nor perform any allocations themselves.  We will save one
rescuer thread this way.

On the other hand drain_all_pages() queues work on the system wq which
doesn't have rescuer and so this depend on memory allocation (when all
workers are stuck allocating and new ones cannot be created).

Initially we thought this would be more of a theoretical problem but
Hugh Dickins has reported:

: 4.11-rc has been giving me hangs after hours of swapping load.  At
: first they looked like memory leaks ("fork: Cannot allocate memory");
: but for no good reason I happened to do "cat /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh"
: before looking at /proc/meminfo one time, and the stat_refresh stuck
: in D state, waiting for completion of flush_work like many kworkers.
: kthreadd waiting for completion of flush_work in drain_all_pages().

This worker should be using WQ_RECLAIM as well in order to guarantee a
forward progress.  We can reuse the same one as for lru draining and
vmstat.

7f354a548d mm, compaction: add vmstats for kcompactd work
A "compact_daemon_wake" vmstat exists that represents the number of
times kcompactd has woken up.  This doesn't represent how much work it
actually did, though.

It's useful to understand how much compaction work is being done by
kcompactd versus other methods such as direct compaction and explicitly
triggered per-node (or system) compaction.

This adds two new vmstats: "compact_daemon_migrate_scanned" and
"compact_daemon_free_scanned" to represent the number of pages kcompactd
has scanned as part of its migration scanner and freeing scanner,
respectively.

These values are still accounted for in the general
"compact_migrate_scanned" and "compact_free_scanned" for compatibility.

It could be argued that explicitly triggered compaction could also be
tracked separately, and that could be added if others find it useful.

76741e776a mm, page_alloc: don't convert pfn to idx when merging
In __free_one_page() we do the buddy merging arithmetics on "page/buddy
index", which is just the lower MAX_ORDER bits of pfn.  The operations
we do that affect the higher bits are bitwise AND and subtraction (in
that order), where the final result will be the same with the higher
bits left unmasked, as long as these bits are equal for both buddies -
which must be true by the definition of a buddy.

We can therefore use pfn's directly instead of "index" and skip the
zeroing of >MAX_ORDER bits.  This can help a bit by itself, although
compiler might be smart enough already.  It also helps the next patch to
avoid page_to_pfn() for memory hole checks.

6290602709 mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bit
Add a new page flag, PageWaiters, to indicate the page waitqueue has
tasks waiting. This can be tested rather than testing waitqueue_active
which requires another cacheline load.

This bit is always set when the page has tasks on page_waitqueue(page),
and is set and cleared under the waitqueue lock. It may be set when
there are no tasks on the waitqueue, which will cause a harmless extra
wakeup check that will clears the bit.

The generic bit-waitqueue infrastructure is no longer used for pages.
Instead, waitqueues are used directly with a custom key type. The
generic code was not flexible enough to have PageWaiters manipulation
under the waitqueue lock (which simplifies concurrency).

This improves the performance of page lock intensive microbenchmarks by
2-3%.

Putting two bits in the same word opens the opportunity to remove the
memory barrier between clearing the lock bit and testing the waiters
bit, after some work on the arch primitives (e.g., ensuring memory
operand widths match and cover both bits).

2994302bc8 mm: add orig_pte field into vm_fault
Add orig_pte field to vm_fault structure to allow ->page_mkwrite
handlers to fully handle the fault.

This also allows us to save some passing of extra arguments around.
