748f1a2ed7 mm: remove unevictable's show_page_path
Hugh Dickins reported show_page_path() is buggy and unsafe because

 - lack dput() against d_find_alias()
 - don't concern vma->vm_mm->owner == NULL
 - lack lock_page()

it was only for debugging, so rather than trying to fix it, just remove
it now.

8891d6da17 mm: remove lru_add_drain_all() from the munlock path
lockdep warns about following message at boot time on one of my test
machine.  Then, schedule_on_each_cpu() sholdn't be called when the task
have mmap_sem.

Actually, lru_add_drain_all() exist to prevent the unevictalble pages
stay on reclaimable lru list.  but currenct unevictable code can rescue
unevictable pages although it stay on reclaimable list.

So removing is better.

In addition, this patch add lru_add_drain_all() to sys_mlock() and
sys_mlockall().  it isn't must.  but it reduce the failure of moving to
unevictable list.  its failure can rescue in vmscan later.  but reducing
is better.

Note, if above rescuing happend, the Mlocked and the Unevictable field
mismatching happend in /proc/meminfo.  but it doesn't cause any real
trouble.

e33c3b5e17 cpusets: update mems allowed in page allocator
If all allowable memory is unreclaimable, it is possible to loop forever
in the page allocator for ~__GFP_NORETRY allocations.

During this time, it is also possible for a task's cpuset to expand its
set of allowable nodes so that it now includes free memory.  The cached
copy of this set, current->mems_allowed, is stale, however, since there
has not been a subsequent call to cpuset_update_task_memory_state().

The cached copy of the set of allowable nodes is now updated in the page
allocator's slow path so the additional memory is available to
get_page_from_freelist().

7526674de0 hugetlb: make unmap_ref_private multi-size-aware
Oops.  Part of the hugetlb private reservation code was not fully
converted to use hstates.

When a huge page must be unmapped from VMAs due to a failed COW,
HPAGE_SIZE is used in the call to unmap_hugepage_range() regardless of
the page size being used.  This works if the VMA is using the default
huge page size.  Otherwise we might unmap too much, too little, or
trigger a BUG_ON.  Rare but serious -- fix it.

The STACK_GROWSUP case of stack expansion was missing a test for 'prev',
which got removed by commit cb8f488c33
("mmap.c: deinline a few functions") by mistake.

I found my original email in "sent" folder. The patch in that mail
does NOT remove !prev. That change had beed added by someone else.

Ok, I think we are not much interested in who did it, let's
fix it for good.

a70dcb969f memory hotplug: fix page_zone() calculation in test_pages_isolated()
My last bugfix here (adding zone->lock) introduced a new problem: Using
page_zone(pfn_to_page(pfn)) to get the zone after the for() loop is wrong.
 pfn will then be >= end_pfn, which may be in a different zone or not
present at all.  This may lead to an addressing exception in page_zone()
or spin_lock_irqsave().

Now I use __first_valid_page() again after the loop to find a valid page
for page_zone().

0aedadf91a mm: move migrate_prep out from under mmap_sem
Move the migrate_prep outside the mmap_sem for the following system calls

1. sys_move_pages
2. sys_migrate_pages
3. sys_mbind()

It really does not matter when we flush the lru.  The system is free to
add pages onto the lru even during migration which will make the page
migration either skip the page (mbind, migrate_pages) or return a busy
state (move_pages).

Fixes this lockdep warning (and potential deadlock):

Some VM place has
      mmap_sem -> kevent_wq via lru_add_drain_all()

net/core/dev.c::dev_ioctl()  has
     rtnl_lock  ->  mmap_sem        (*) the ioctl has copy_from_user() and it can do page fault.

linkwatch_event has
     kevent_wq -> rtnl_lock

18229df5b6 hugetlb: pull gigantic page initialisation out of the default path
As we can determine exactly when a gigantic page is in use we can optimise
the common regular page cases by pulling out gigantic page initialisation
into its own function.  As gigantic pages are never released to buddy we
do not need a destructor.  This effectivly reverts the previous change to
the main buddy allocator.  It also adds a paranoid check to ensure we
never release gigantic pages from hugetlbfs to the main buddy.

69d177c2fc hugetlbfs: handle pages higher order than MAX_ORDER
When working with hugepages, hugetlbfs assumes that those hugepages are
smaller than MAX_ORDER.  Specifically it assumes that the mem_map is
contigious and uses that to optimise access to the elements of the mem_map
that represent the hugepage.  Gigantic pages (such as 16GB pages on
powerpc) by definition are of greater order than MAX_ORDER (larger than
MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES in size).  This means that we can no longer make use of
the buddy alloctor guarentees for the contiguity of the mem_map, which
ensures that the mem_map is at least contigious for maximmally aligned
areas of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages.

This patch adds new mem_map accessors and iterator helpers which handle
any discontiguity at MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundaries.  It then uses these to
implement gigantic page versions of copy_huge_page and clear_huge_page,
and to allow follow_hugetlb_page handle gigantic pages.

Unfortunately, everyone else calls it MODULES_VADDR and MODULES_END.
Update ARM to use the same naming, so is_vmalloc_or_module_addr()
can work properly.  Also update the comment on mm/vmalloc.c to
reflect that ARM also places modules in a separate region from the
vmalloc space.

731572d39f nfsd: fix vm overcommit crash
Junjiro R.  Okajima reported a problem where knfsd crashes if you are
using it to export shmemfs objects and run strict overcommit.  In this
situation the current->mm based modifier to the overcommit goes through a
NULL pointer.

We could simply check for NULL and skip the modifier but we've caught
other real bugs in the past from mm being NULL here - cases where we did
need a valid mm set up (eg the exec bug about a year ago).

To preserve the checks and get the logic we want shuffle the checking
around and add a new helper to the vm_ security wrappers

Also fix a current->mm reference in nommu that should use the passed mm

94b6da5ab8 memcg: fix page_cgroup allocation
page_cgroup_init() is called from mem_cgroup_init(). But at this
point, we cannot call alloc_bootmem().
(and this caused panic at boot.)

This patch moves page_cgroup_init() to init/main.c.

Time table is following:
==
  parse_args(). # we can trust mem_cgroup_subsys.disabled bit after this.
  ....
  cgroup_init_early()  # "early" init of cgroup.
  ....
  setup_arch()         # memmap is allocated.
  ...
  page_cgroup_init();
  mem_init();   # we cannot call alloc_bootmem after this.
  ....
  cgroup_init() # mem_cgroup is initialized.
==

Before page_cgroup_init(), mem_map must be initialized. So,
I added page_cgroup_init() to init/main.c directly.

(*) maybe this is not very clean but
    - cgroup_init_early() is too early
    - in cgroup_init(), we have to use vmalloc instead of alloc_bootmem().
    use of vmalloc area in x86-32 is important and we should avoid very large
    vmalloc() in x86-32. So, we want to use alloc_bootmem() and added page_cgroup_init()
    directly to init/main.c

52d4b9ac0b memcg: allocate all page_cgroup at boot
Allocate all page_cgroup at boot and remove page_cgroup poitner from
struct page.  This patch adds an interface as

 struct page_cgroup *lookup_page_cgroup(struct page*)

All FLATMEM/DISCONTIGMEM/SPARSEMEM  and MEMORY_HOTPLUG is supported.

Remove page_cgroup pointer reduces the amount of memory by
 - 4 bytes per PAGE_SIZE.
 - 8 bytes per PAGE_SIZE
if memory controller is disabled. (even if configured.)

On usual 8GB x86-32 server, this saves 8MB of NORMAL_ZONE memory.
On my x86-64 server with 48GB of memory, this saves 96MB of memory.
I think this reduction makes sense.

By pre-allocation, kmalloc/kfree in charge/uncharge are removed.
This means
  - we're not necessary to be afraid of kmalloc faiulre.
    (this can happen because of gfp_mask type.)
  - we can avoid calling kmalloc/kfree.
  - we can avoid allocating tons of small objects which can be fragmented.
  - we can know what amount of memory will be used for this extra-lru handling.

I added printk message as

	"allocated %ld bytes of page_cgroup"
        "please try cgroup_disable=memory option if you don't want"

maybe enough informative for users.

protcol and don't want to account out-of-vm's control pages.

When special_mapping_fault() is called, page->mapping is tend to be NULL
and it's charged as Anonymous page.  insert_page() also handles some
special pages from drivers.

This patch is for avoiding to account special pages.

e78bbfa826 mm: stop returning -ENOENT from sys_move_pages() if nothing got migrated
A patchset reworking sys_move_pages().  It removes the possibly large
vmalloc by using multiple chunks when migrating large buffers.  It also
dramatically increases the throughput for large buffers since the lookup
in new_page_node() is now limited to a single chunk, causing the quadratic
complexity to have a much slower impact.  There is no need to use any
radix-tree-like structure to improve this lookup.

sys_move_pages() duration on a 4-quadcore-opteron 2347HE (1.9Gz),
migrating between nodes #2 and #3:

	length		move_pages (us)		move_pages+patch (us)
	4kB		126			98
	40kB		198			168
	400kB		963			937
	4MB		12503			11930
	40MB		246867			11848

Patches #1 and #4 are the important ones:
1) stop returning -ENOENT from sys_move_pages() if nothing got migrated
2) don't vmalloc a huge page_to_node array for do_pages_stat()
3) extract do_pages_move() out of sys_move_pages()
4) rework do_pages_move() to work on page_sized chunks
5) move_pages: no need to set pp->page to ZERO_PAGE(0) by default

This patch:

There is no point in returning -ENOENT from sys_move_pages() if all pages
were already on the right node, while we return 0 if only 1 page was not.
Most application don't know where their pages are allocated, so it's not
an error to try to migrate them anyway.

Just return 0 and let the status array in user-space be checked if the
application needs details.

It will make the upcoming chunked-move_pages() support much easier.

During hotplug memory remove, memory regions should be released on a
PAGES_PER_SECTION size chunks.  This mirrors the code in add_memory where
resources are requested on a PAGES_PER_SECTION size.

Attempting to release the entire memory region fails because there is not
a single resource for the total number of pages being removed.  Instead
the resources for the pages are split in PAGES_PER_SECTION size chunks as
requested during memory add.

4b2e38ad70 hugepage: support ZERO_PAGE()
Presently hugepage doesn't use zero page at all because zero page is only
used for coredumping and hugepage can't core dump.

However we have now implemented hugepage coredumping.  Therefore we should
implement the zero page of hugepage.

Implementation note:

o Why do we only check VM_SHARED for zero page?
  normal page checked as ..

	static inline int use_zero_page(struct vm_area_struct *vma)
	{
	        if (vma->vm_flags & (VM_LOCKED | VM_SHARED))
	                return 0;

	        return !vma->vm_ops || !vma->vm_ops->fault;
	}

First, hugepages are never mlock()ed.  We aren't concerned with VM_LOCKED.

Second, hugetlbfs is a pseudo filesystem, not a real filesystem and it
doesn't have any file backing.  Thus ops->fault checking is meaningless.

o Why don't we use zero page if !pte.

!pte indicate {pud, pmd} doesn't exist or some error happened.  So we
shouldn't return zero page if any error occurred.

db64fe0225 mm: rewrite vmap layer
Rewrite the vmap allocator to use rbtrees and lazy tlb flushing, and
provide a fast, scalable percpu frontend for small vmaps (requires a
slightly different API, though).

The biggest problem with vmap is actually vunmap.  Presently this requires
a global kernel TLB flush, which on most architectures is a broadcast IPI
to all CPUs to flush the cache.  This is all done under a global lock.  As
the number of CPUs increases, so will the number of vunmaps a scaled
workload will want to perform, and so will the cost of a global TLB flush.
 This gives terrible quadratic scalability characteristics.

Another problem is that the entire vmap subsystem works under a single
lock.  It is a rwlock, but it is actually taken for write in all the fast
paths, and the read locking would likely never be run concurrently anyway,
so it's just pointless.

This is a rewrite of vmap subsystem to solve those problems.  The existing
vmalloc API is implemented on top of the rewritten subsystem.

The TLB flushing problem is solved by using lazy TLB unmapping.  vmap
addresses do not have to be flushed immediately when they are vunmapped,
because the kernel will not reuse them again (would be a use-after-free)
until they are reallocated.  So the addresses aren't allocated again until
a subsequent TLB flush.  A single TLB flush then can flush multiple
vunmaps from each CPU.

XEN and PAT and such do not like deferred TLB flushing because they can't
always handle multiple aliasing virtual addresses to a physical address.
They now call vm_unmap_aliases() in order to flush any deferred mappings.
That call is very expensive (well, actually not a lot more expensive than
a single vunmap under the old scheme), however it should be OK if not
called too often.

The virtual memory extent information is stored in an rbtree rather than a
linked list to improve the algorithmic scalability.

There is a per-CPU allocator for small vmaps, which amortizes or avoids
global locking.

To use the per-CPU interface, the vm_map_ram / vm_unmap_ram interfaces
must be used in place of vmap and vunmap.  Vmalloc does not use these
interfaces at the moment, so it will not be quite so scalable (although it
will use lazy TLB flushing).

As a quick test of performance, I ran a test that loops in the kernel,
linearly mapping then touching then unmapping 4 pages.  Different numbers
of tests were run in parallel on an 4 core, 2 socket opteron.  Results are
in nanoseconds per map+touch+unmap.

threads           vanilla         vmap rewrite
1                 14700           2900
2                 33600           3000
4                 49500           2800
8                 70631           2900

So with a 8 cores, the rewritten version is already 25x faster.

In a slightly more realistic test (although with an older and less
scalable version of the patch), I ripped the not-very-good vunmap batching
code out of XFS, and implemented the large buffer mapping with vm_map_ram
and vm_unmap_ram...  along with a couple of other tricks, I was able to
speed up a large directory workload by 20x on a 64 CPU system.  I believe
vmap/vunmap is actually sped up a lot more than 20x on such a system, but
I'm running into other locks now.  vmap is pretty well blown off the
profiles.

vmap has gone from being the top 5 on the profiles and flushing the crap
out of all TLBs, to using less than 1% of kernel time.

cb8f488c33 mmap.c: deinline a few functions
__vma_link_file and expand_downwards functions are not small, yeat they
are marked inline.  They probably had one callsite sometime in the past,
but now they have more.  In order to prevent similar thing, I also
deinlined expand_upwards, despite it having only pne callsite.  Nowadays
gcc auto-inlines such static functions anyway.  In find_extend_vma, I
removed one extra level of indirection.

Patch is deliberately generated with -U $BIGNUM to make
it easier to see that functions are big.

Result:
