Hugetlbfs needs to do special things instead of truncate_inode_pages().
Currently, it copied generic_forget_inode() except for
truncate_inode_pages() call which is asking for trouble (the code there
isn't trivial). So create a separate function generic_detach_inode()
which does all the list magic done in generic_forget_inode() and call
it from hugetlbfs_forget_inode().

We're not forcing removal of the old cpu_ functions, but we might as

Up until 1.1.83, the primitive human tribes used struct sigaction for
interrupts. The sa_mask field was overloaded to hold a pointer to the
name.
When someone created the new "struct irqaction" they carried across
the "mask" field as a kind of ancestor worship: the fact that it was
unused makes clear its spiritual significance.

(Thanks to Al Viro for reminding me of this, via Ingo)
CPU_MASK_ALL is the (deprecated) "all bits set" cpumask, defined as so:
#define CPU_MASK_ALL (cpumask_t) { { ... } }
Taking the address of such a temporary is questionable at best,
unfortunately 321a8e9d (cpumask: add CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR macro) added
CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR:
#define CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR (&CPU_MASK_ALL)
Which formalizes this practice. One day gcc could bite us over this
usage (though we seem to have gotten away with it so far).
Now all callers are removed, we kill it.

This patch adds a persistent, read-only caching facility for
9p clients using the FS-Cache caching backend.
When the fscache facility is enabled, each inode is associated
with a corresponding vcookie which is an index into the FS-Cache
indexing tree. The FS-Cache indexing tree is indexed at 3 levels:
- session object associated with each mount.
- inode/vcookie
- actual data (pages)
A cache tag is chosen randomly for each session. These tags can
be read off /sys/fs/9p/caches and can be passed as a mount-time
parameter to re-attach to the specified caching session.

For this system call user space passes a signed long length parameter,
while the kernel side takes an unsigned long parameter and converts it
later to signed long again.
This has led to bugs in compat wrappers see e.g. dd90bbd5 "powerpc: Add
compat_sys_truncate". The s390 compat wrapper for this functions is
broken as well since it also performs zero extension instead of sign
extension for the length parameter.
In addition if hpa comes up with an automated way of generating
compat wrappers it would generate a wrong one here.
So change the length parameter from unsigned long to long.

Support two new half-duplex SPI implementation restrictions, for links
that talk to TX-only or RX-only devices. (Existing half-duplex flavors
support both transfer directions, just not at the same time.)
Move spi_async() into the spi.c core, and stop inlining it. Then make
that function perform error checks and reject messages that demand more
than the underlying controller can support.

bitbanged GPIO driver.

With this patch spi drivers can use standard spi_driver.id_table and
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() mechanisms to bind against the devices. Just like
we do with I2C drivers.
This is useful when a single driver supports several variants of devices
but it is not possible to detect them in run-time (like non-JEDEC chips
probing in drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c), and when platform_data usage is
overkill.
This patch also makes life a lot easier on OpenFirmware platforms, since
with OF we extensively use proper device IDs in modaliases.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> pointed out that vmemmap
range is not included in KCORE_RAM, KCORE_VMALLOC ....
This adds KCORE_VMEMMAP if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is used. By this, vmemmap
can be readable via /proc/kcore
Because it's not vmalloc area, vread/vwrite cannot be used. But the range
is static against the memory layout, this patch handles vmemmap area by
the same scheme with physical memory.
This patch assumes SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP range is not in VMALLOC range. It's
correct now.

This patchset is for /proc/kcore. With this,
- many per-arch hooks are removed.
- /proc/kcore will know really valid physical memory area.
- /proc/kcore will be aware of memory hotplug.
- /proc/kcore will be architecture independent i.e.
if an arch supports CONFIG_MMU, it can use /proc/kcore.
(if the arch uses usual memory layout.)
This patch:
/proc/kcore uses its own list handling codes. It's better to use
generic list codes.
No changes in logic. just clean up.

A patch to give a better overview of the userland application stack usage,
especially for embedded linux.
Currently you are only able to dump the main process/thread stack usage
which is showed in /proc/pid/status by the "VmStk" Value. But you get no
information about the consumed stack memory of the the threads.
There is an enhancement in the /proc/<pid>/{task/*,}/*maps and which marks
the vm mapping where the thread stack pointer reside with "[thread stack
xxxxxxxx]". xxxxxxxx is the maximum size of stack. This is a value
information, because libpthread doesn't set the start of the stack to the
top of the mapped area, depending of the pthread usage.
A sample output of /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/maps looks like:
08048000-08049000 r-xp 00000000 03:00 8312 /opt/z

Also there is a new entry "stack usage" in /proc/<pid>/{task/*,}/status
which will you give the current stack usage in kb.
A sample output of /proc/self/status looks like:
Name: cat
State: R (running)
Tgid: 507
Pid: 507
.
.
.
CapBnd: fffffffffffffeff
voluntary_ctxt_switches: 0
nonvoluntary_ctxt_switches: 0
Stack usage: 12 kB
I also fixed stack base address in /proc/<pid>/{task/*,}/stat to the base
address of the associated thread stack and not the one of the main
process. This makes more sense.

Power can be saved by powering off cards that are not in use. This is
similar to suspend / resume except it is under the control of the driver,
and does not require any power management support. It can only be used
when the driver can monitor whether the card is removed, otherwise it is
unsafe. This is possible because, unlike suspend, the driver still
receives card detect and / or cover switch interrupts.

Split the anonfd interface into a bare file pointer creation one, and a
file pointer creation plus install one.
There are cases, like the usage of eventfds inside other kernel
interfaces, where the file pointer created by anonfd needs to be used
inside the initialization of other structures.
As it is right now, as soon as anon_inode_getfd() returns, the kenrle can
race with userspace closing the newly installed file descriptor.
This patch, while keeping the old anon_inode_getfd(), introduces a new
anon_inode_getfile() (whose services are reused in anon_inode_getfd())
that allows to split the file creation phase and the fd install one.
Once all the kernel structures are initialized, the code can call the
proper fd_install().

gcc permitting variable length arrays makes the current construct used for
BUILD_BUG_ON() useless, as that doesn't produce any diagnostic if the
controlling expression isn't really constant. Instead, this patch makes
it so that a bit field gets used here. Consequently, those uses where the
condition isn't really constant now also need fixing.
Note that in the gfp.h, kmemcheck.h, and virtio_config.h cases
MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON() really just serves documentation purposes - even if
the expression is compile time constant (__builtin_constant_p() yields
true), the array is still deemed of variable length by gcc, and hence the
whole expression doesn't have the intended effect.

The act of a process becoming a session leader is a useful signal to a
supervising init daemon such as Upstart.
While a daemon will normally do this as part of the process of becoming a
daemon, it is rare for its children to do so. When the children do, it is
nearly always a sign that the child should be considered detached from the
parent and not supervised along with it.
The poster-child example is OpenSSH; the per-login children call setsid()
so that they may control the pty connected to them. If the primary daemon
dies or is restarted, we do not want to consider the per-login children
and want to respawn the primary daemon without killing the children.

This patch can remove spinlock from struct call_function_data, the
reasons are below:
1: add a new interface for cpumask named cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu(),
it can atomically test and clear specific cpu, we can use it instead
of cpumask_test_cpu() and cpumask_clear_cpu() and no need data->lock
to protect those in generic_smp_call_function_interrupt().
2: in smp_call_function_many(), after csd_lock() return, the current's
cfd_data is deleted from call_function list, so it not have race
between other cpus, then cfs_data is only used in
smp_call_function_many() that must disable preemption and not from
a hardware interrupthandler or from a bottom half handler to call,
only the correspond cpu can use it, so it not have race in current
cpu, no need cfs_data->lock to protect it.
3: after 1 and 2, cfs_data->lock is only use to protect cfs_data->refs in
generic_smp_call_function_interrupt(), so we can define cfs_data->refs
to atomic_t, and no need cfs_data->lock any more.

This patch (as1283) adds a new flag, USBDEVFS_URB_BULK_CONTINUATION,
to usbfs. It is intended for userspace libraries such as libusb and
openusb. When they have to break up a single usbfs bulk transfer into
multiple URBs, they will set the flag on all but the first URB of the
series.
If an error other than an unlink occurs, the kernel will automatically
cancel all the following URBs for the same endpoint and refuse to
accept new submissions, until an URB is encountered that is not marked
as a BULK_CONTINUATION. Such an URB would indicate the start of a new
transfer or the presence of an older library, so the kernel returns to
normal operation.
This enables libraries to delimit bulk transfers correctly, even in
the presence of early termination as indicated by short packets.

get the device to initialize correctly.
Option 1 is to unplug and plug in the device.
Option 2 is to use the EHCI port test to get the usb debug device to
start talking again. At that point the debug controller port reset
will succeed.

If the EHCI debug port is initialized and in use, the EHCI host
controller driver must follow two rules.
1) If the EHCI host driver issues a controller reset, the debug
controller driver re-initialization must get called after the reset
is completed.
2) The EHCI host driver should ignore any requests to the physical
EHCI debug port when the EHCI debug port is in use.
The code to check for the debug port was moved from ehci_pci_reinit()
to ehci_pci_setup because it must get called prior to ehci_reset()
which will clear the debug port registers.

This patch implements several changes:
1) Improve the capability to debug the dbgp driver
The dbgp_ehci_status() was added in a number of places to report
the critical ehci registers to diagnose the cause of a failure of
the ehci-dbgp driver.
2) Capability to survive the host controller initialization
The dbgp_external_startup(), dbgp_not_safe, and dbgp_phys_port were
added so as to allow the ehci-dbgp to re-initialize after the ehci
host controller is reset by the standard host controller driver.
This same routine is common for the early startup or
re-initialization.
This resulted in the need to move some of the initialization code
out of the __init section because the ehci driver has the
possibility to be loaded later on as a kernel module.
3) Stability improvements for device initialization
The device enumeration from 0 to 127 has the possibility to fail
the first time after a warm reset on some older EHCI debug
controllers. The enumeration will be tried up to 3 times to
account for this failure case.
The dbg_wait_until_complete() was changed to wait up to 250 ms
before failing which only comes into play during device
initialization. The maximum delay will never get hit during the
course of normal operation of the driver, unless the device got
unplugged or there was a ehci controller failure, in which case the
dbgp device driver will shut itself down.

When do_output_char() attempts to write a carriage return/line feed sequence,
it first checks to see how much buffer room is available. If there are at least
two characters free, it will write the carriage return/line feed with two calls
to tty_put_char(). It calls the tty_operation functions write() for devices that
don't support the tty_operations function put_char(). If the USB generic serial
device's write URB is not in use, it will return the buffer size when asked how
much room is available. The write() of the carriage return will cause it to mark
the write URB busy, so the subsequent write() of the line feed will be ignored.
This patch uses the kfifo infrastructure to implement a write FIFO that
accurately returns the amount of space available in the buffer.

This patch (as1258) implements a feature that users have been asking
for: It gives programs the ability to "claim" a port on a hub, via a
new usbfs ioctl. A device plugged into a "claimed" port will not be
touched by the kernel beyond the immediate necessities of
initialization and enumeration.
In particular, when a device is plugged into a "claimed" port, the
kernel will not select and install a configuration. And when a config
is installed by usbfs or sysfs, the kernel will not probe any drivers
for any of the interfaces. (However the kernel will fetch various
string descriptors during enumeration. One could argue that this
isn't really necessary, but the strings are exported in sysfs.)
The patch does not guarantee exclusive access to these devices; it is
still possible for more than one program to open the device file
concurrently. Programs are responsible for coordinating access among
themselves.
A demonstration program showing how to use the new interface can be
found in an attachment to
http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=124345857431452&w=2
The patch also makes a small simplification to the hub driver,
replacing a bunch of more-or-less useless variants of "out of memory"
with a single message.

This patch fixes crashes when usbmon attempts to access GART aperture.
The old code attempted to take a bus address and convert it into a
virtual address, which clearly was impossible on systems with actual
IOMMUs. Let us not persist in this foolishness, and use transfer_buffer
in all cases instead.
I think downsides are negligible. The ones I see are:
- A driver may pass an address of one buffer down as transfer_buffer,
and entirely different entity mapped for DMA, resulting in misleading
output of usbmon. Note, however, that PIO based controllers would
do transfer the same data that usbmon sees here.
- Out of tree drivers may crash usbmon if they store garbage in
transfer_buffer. I inspected the in-tree drivers, and clarified
the documentation in comments.
- Drivers that use get_user_pages will not be possible to monitor.
I only found one driver with this problem (drivers/staging/rspiusb).
- Same happens with with usb_storage transferring from highmem, but
it works fine on 64-bit systems, so I think it's not a concern.
At least we don't crash anymore.
Why didn't we do this in 2.6.10? That's because back in those days
it was popular not to fill in transfer_buffer, so almost all
traffic would be invisible (e.g. all of HID was like that).
But now, the tree is almost 100% PIO friendly, so we can do the
right thing at last.

FLEX_ARRAY_INIT(element_size, total_nr_elements) cannot determine if
either parameter is valid, so flex arrays which are statically allocated
with this interface can easily become corrupted or reference beyond its
allocated memory.
This removes FLEX_ARRAY_INIT() as a struct flex_array initializer since no
initializer may perform the required checking. Instead, the array is now
defined with a new interface:
DEFINE_FLEX_ARRAY(name, element_size, total_nr_elements)
This may be prefixed with `static' for file scope.
This interface includes compile-time checking of the parameters to ensure
they are valid. Since the validity of both element_size and
total_nr_elements depend on FLEX_ARRAY_BASE_SIZE and FLEX_ARRAY_PART_SIZE,
the kernel build will fail if either of these predefined values changes
such that the array parameters are no longer valid.
Since BUILD_BUG_ON() requires compile time constants, several of the
static inline functions that were once local to lib/flex_array.c had to be
moved to include/linux/flex_array.h.

POISON_FREE used in the various slab allocators, but is different to
distinguish between flex array's poisoned kmem and slab allocator poisoned
kmem.
This will allow us to identify flex_array_part's that only contain free
elements (and free them with an addition to the flex_array API). This
could also be extended in the future to identify `get' uses on elements
that have not been `put'.
If __GFP_ZERO is passed for a part's gfp mask, the poisoning is avoided.
These elements are considered to be in-use since they have been

The reason for a reworked governor is that there have been serious

To show this I'm sure Andrew wants to see benchmark results:
(benchmark is "fio", "no cstates" is using "idle=poll")
no cstates current linux new algorithm

2 disks 215 Mb/s 123 Mb/s 209 Mb/s
12 disks 590 Mb/s 320 Mb/s 585 Mb/s
In various power benchmark measurements, no degredation was found by our
measurement&diagnostics team. Obviously a small percentage more power was
used in the "fio" benchmark, due to the much higher performance.
While it would be a novel idea to describe the new algorithm in this
commit message, I cheaped out and described it in comments in the code
instead.

This patchset adds a flag to mmap that allows the user to request that an
anonymous mapping be backed with huge pages. This mapping will borrow
functionality from the huge page shm code to create a file on the kernel
internal mount and use it to approximate an anonymous mapping. The
MAP_HUGETLB flag is a modifier to MAP_ANONYMOUS and will not work without
both flags being preset.
A new flag is necessary because there is no other way to hook into huge
pages without creating a file on a hugetlbfs mount which wouldn't be
MAP_ANONYMOUS.
To userspace, this mapping will behave just like an anonymous mapping
because the file is not accessible outside of the kernel.
This patchset is meant to simplify the programming model. Presently there
is a large chunk of boiler platecode, contained in libhugetlbfs, required
to create private, hugepage backed mappings. This patch set would allow
use of hugepages without linking to libhugetlbfs or having hugetblfs
mounted.
Unification of the VM code would provide these same benefits, but it has
been resisted each time that it has been suggested for several reasons: it
would break PAGE_SIZE assumptions across the kernel, it makes page-table
abstractions really expensive, and it does not provide any benefit on
architectures that do not support huge pages, incurring fast path
penalties without providing any benefit on these architectures.
This patch:
There are two means of creating mappings backed by huge pages:
1. mmap() a file created on hugetlbfs
2. Use shm which creates a file on an internal mount which essentially
maps it MAP_SHARED
The internal mount is only used for shared mappings but there is very
little that stops it being used for private mappings. This patch extends
hugetlbfs_file_setup() to deal with the creation of files that will be
mapped MAP_PRIVATE on the internal hugetlbfs mount. This extended API is
used in a subsequent patch to implement the MAP_HUGETLB mmap() flag.

CONFIG_SHMEM off gives you (ramfs masquerading as) tmpfs, even when
CONFIG_TMPFS is off: that's a little anomalous, and I'd intended to make
more sense of it by removing CONFIG_TMPFS altogether, always enabling its
code when CONFIG_SHMEM; but so many defconfigs have CONFIG_SHMEM on
CONFIG_TMPFS off that we'd better leave that as is.
But there is no point in asking for CONFIG_TMPFS if CONFIG_SHMEM is off:
make TMPFS depend on SHMEM, which also prevents TMPFS_POSIX_ACL
shmem_acl.o being pointlessly built into the kernel when SHMEM is off.
And a selfish change, to prevent the world from being rebuilt when I
switch between CONFIG_SHMEM on and off: the only CONFIG_SHMEM in the
header files is mm.h shmem_lock() - give that a shmem.c stub instead.

__get_user_pages() has been taking its own GUP flags, then processing
them into FOLL flags for follow_page(). Though oddly named, the FOLL
flags are more widely used, so pass them to __get_user_pages() now.
Sorry, VM flags, VM_FAULT flags and FAULT_FLAGs are still distinct.
(The patch to __get_user_pages() looks peculiar, with both gup_flags
and foll_flags: the gup_flags remain constant; but as before there's
an exceptional case, out of scope of the patch, in which foll_flags
per page have FOLL_WRITE masked off.)

follow_hugetlb_page() shouldn't be guessing about the coredump case
either: pass the foll_flags down to it, instead of just the write bit.
Remove that obscure huge_zeropage_ok() test. The decision is easy,
though unlike the non-huge case - here vm_ops->fault is always set.
But we know that a fault would serve up zeroes, unless there's
already a hugetlbfs pagecache page to back the range.
(Alternatively, since hugetlb pages aren't swapped out under pressure,
you could save more dump space by arguing that a page not yet faulted
into this process cannot be relevant to the dump; but that would be
more surprising.)

The "FOLL_ANON optimization" and its use_zero_page() test have caused
confusion and bugs: why does it test VM_SHARED? for the very good but
unsatisfying reason that VMware crashed without. As we look to maybe
reinstating anonymous use of the ZERO_PAGE, we need to sort this out.
Easily done: it's silly for __get_user_pages() and follow_page() to
be guessing whether it's safe to assume that they're being used for
a coredump (which can take a shortcut snapshot where other uses must
handle a fault) - just tell them with GUP_FLAGS_DUMP and FOLL_DUMP.
get_dump_page() doesn't even want a ZERO_PAGE: an error suits fine.

The following two patches remove searching in the page allocator fast-path
by maintaining multiple free-lists in the per-cpu structure. At the time
the search was introduced, increasing the per-cpu structures would waste a
lot of memory as per-cpu structures were statically allocated at
compile-time. This is no longer the case.
The patches are as follows. They are based on mmotm-2009-08-27.
Patch 1 adds multiple lists to struct per_cpu_pages, one per
migratetype that can be stored on the PCP lists.
Patch 2 notes that the pcpu drain path check empty lists multiple times. The
patch reduces the number of checks by maintaining a count of free
lists encountered. Lists containing pages will then free multiple
pages in batch
The patches were tested with kernbench, netperf udp/tcp, hackbench and
sysbench. The netperf tests were not bound to any CPU in particular and
were run such that the results should be 99% confidence that the reported
results are within 1% of the estimated mean. sysbench was run with a
postgres background and read-only tests. Similar to netperf, it was run
multiple times so that it's 99% confidence results are within 1%. The
patches were tested on x86, x86-64 and ppc64 as
x86: Intel Pentium D 3GHz with 8G RAM (no-brand machine)
kernbench - No significant difference, variance well within noise
netperf-udp - 1.34% to 2.28% gain
netperf-tcp - 0.45% to 1.22% gain
hackbench - Small variances, very close to noise
sysbench - Very small gains
x86-64: AMD Phenom 9950 1.3GHz with 8G RAM (no-brand machine)
kernbench - No significant difference, variance well within noise
netperf-udp - 1.83% to 10.42% gains
netperf-tcp - No conclusive until buffer >= PAGE_SIZE
4096 +15.83%
8192 + 0.34% (not significant)
16384 + 1%
hackbench - Small gains, very close to noise
sysbench - 0.79% to 1.6% gain
ppc64: PPC970MP 2.5GHz with 10GB RAM (it's a terrasoft powerstation)
kernbench - No significant difference, variance well within noise
netperf-udp - 2-3% gain for almost all buffer sizes tested
netperf-tcp - losses on small buffers, gains on larger buffers
possibly indicates some bad caching effect.
hackbench - No significant difference
sysbench - 2-4% gain
This patch:
Currently the per-cpu page allocator searches the PCP list for pages of
the correct migrate-type to reduce the possibility of pages being
inappropriate placed from a fragmentation perspective. This search is
potentially expensive in a fast-path and undesirable. Splitting the
per-cpu list into multiple lists increases the size of a per-cpu structure
and this was potentially a major problem at the time the search was
introduced. These problem has been mitigated as now only the necessary
number of structures is allocated for the running system.
This patch replaces a list search in the per-cpu allocator with one list
per migrate type. The potential snag with this approach is when bulk
freeing pages. We round-robin free pages based on migrate type which has
little bearing on the cache hotness of the page and potentially checks
empty lists repeatedly in the event the majority of PCP pages are of one
type.

Currently, OOM logic callflow is here.
__out_of_memory()
select_bad_process() for each task
badness() calculate badness of one task
oom_kill_process() search child
oom_kill_task() kill target task and mm shared tasks with it
example, process-A have two thread, thread-A and thread-B and it have very
fat memory and each thread have following oom_adj and oom_score.
thread-A: oom_adj = OOM_DISABLE, oom_score = 0
thread-B: oom_adj = 0, oom_score = very-high
Then, select_bad_process() select thread-B, but oom_kill_task() refuse
kill the task because thread-A have OOM_DISABLE. Thus __out_of_memory()
call select_bad_process() again. but select_bad_process() select the same
task. It mean kernel fall in livelock.
The fact is, select_bad_process() must select killable task. otherwise
OOM logic go into livelock.
And root cause is, oom_adj shouldn't be per-thread value. it should be
per-process value because OOM-killer kill a process, not thread. Thus
This patch moves oomkilladj (now more appropriately named oom_adj) from
struct task_struct to struct signal_struct. it naturally prevent
select_bad_process() choose wrong task.

For mem_cgroup, shrink_zone() may call shrink_list() with nr_to_scan=1, in
which case shrink_list() _still_ calls isolate_pages() with the much
larger SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX. It effectively scales up the inactive list scan
rate by up to 32 times.
For example, with 16k inactive pages and DEF_PRIORITY=12, (16k >> 12)=4.
So when shrink_zone() expects to scan 4 pages in the active/inactive list,
the active list will be scanned 4 pages, while the inactive list will be
(over) scanned SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX=32 pages in effect. And that could break
the balance between the two lists.
It can further impact the scan of anon active list, due to the anon
active/inactive ratio rebalance logic in balance_pgdat()/shrink_zone():
inactive anon list over scanned => inactive_anon_is_low() == TRUE
=> shrink_active_list()
=> active anon list over scanned
So the end result may be
- anon inactive => over scanned
- anon active => over scanned (maybe not as much)
- file inactive => over scanned
- file active => under scanned (relatively)
The accesses to nr_saved_scan are not lock protected and so not 100%
accurate, however we can tolerate small errors and the resulted small
imbalanced scan rates between zones.

The page allocation trace event reports that a page was successfully
allocated but it does not specify where it came from. When analysing
performance, it can be important to distinguish between pages coming from
the per-cpu allocator and pages coming from the buddy lists as the latter
requires the zone lock to the taken and more data structures to be
examined.
This patch adds a trace event for __rmqueue reporting when a page is being
allocated from the buddy lists. It distinguishes between being called to
refill the per-cpu lists or whether it is a high-order allocation.
Similarly, this patch adds an event to catch when the PCP lists are being
drained a little and pages are going back to the buddy lists.
This is trickier to draw conclusions from but high activity on those
events could explain why there were a large number of cache misses on a
page-allocator-intensive workload. The coalescing and splitting of
buddies involves a lot of writing of page metadata and cache line bounces
not to mention the acquisition of an interrupt-safe lock necessary to
enter this path.

Fragmentation avoidance depends on being able to use free pages from lists
of the appropriate migrate type. In the event this is not possible,
__rmqueue_fallback() selects a different list and in some circumstances
change the migratetype of the pageblock. Simplistically, the more times
this event occurs, the more likely that fragmentation will be a problem
later for hugepage allocation at least but there are other considerations
such as the order of page being split to satisfy the allocation.
This patch adds a trace event for __rmqueue_fallback() that reports what
page is being used for the fallback, the orders of relevant pages, the
desired migratetype and the migratetype of the lists being used, whether
the pageblock changed type and whether this event is important with
respect to fragmentation avoidance or not. This information can be used
to help analyse fragmentation avoidance and help decide whether
min_free_kbytes should be increased or not.

This patch adds trace events for the allocation and freeing of pages,
including the freeing of pagevecs. Using the events, it will be known
what struct page and pfns are being allocated and freed and what the call
site was in many cases.
The page alloc tracepoints be used as an indicator as to whether the
workload was heavily dependant on the page allocator or not. You can make
a guess based on vmstat but you can't get a per-process breakdown.
Depending on the call path, the call_site for page allocation may be
__get_free_pages() instead of a useful callsite. Instead of passing down
a return address similar to slab debugging, the user should enable the
stacktrace and seg-addr options to get a proper stack trace.
The pagevec free tracepoint has a different usecase. It can be used to
get a idea of how many pages are being dumped off the LRU and whether it
is kswapd doing the work or a process doing direct reclaim.

Just as the swapoff system call allocates many pages of RAM to various

(unmerge) is liable to allocate many pages of RAM to various processes,
perhaps triggering OOM; and each is normally run from a modest admin
process (swapoff or shell), easily repeated until it succeeds.
So treat unmerge_and_remove_all_rmap_items() in the same way that we treat

with that, to ask the OOM killer to kill them first, to prevent them from

Rawhide users have reported hang at startup when cryptsetup is run: the
same problem can be simply reproduced by running a program int main() {
mlockall(MCL_CURRENT | MCL_FUTURE); return 0; }
The problem is that exit_mmap() applies munlock_vma_pages_all() to
clean up VM_LOCKED areas, and its current implementation (stupidly)
tries to fault in absent pages, for example where PROT_NONE prevented
them being faulted in when mlocking. Whereas the "ksm: fix oom
deadlock" patch, knowing there's a race by which KSM might try to fault
in pages after exit_mmap() had finally zapped the range, backs out of
such faults doing nothing when its ksm_test_exit() notices mm_users 0.
So revert that part of "ksm: fix oom deadlock" which moved the
ksm_exit() call from before exit_mmap() to the middle of exit_mmap();
and remove those ksm_test_exit() checks from the page fault paths, so
allowing the munlocking to proceed without interference.
ksm_exit, if there are rmap_items still chained on this mm slot, takes
mmap_sem write side: so preventing KSM from working on an mm while
exit_mmap runs. And KSM will bail out as soon as it notices that
mm_users is already zero, thanks to its internal ksm_test_exit checks.
So that when a task is killed by OOM killer or the user, KSM will not
indefinitely prevent it from running exit_mmap to release its memory.
This does break a part of what "ksm: fix oom deadlock" was trying to
achieve. When unmerging KSM (echo 2 >/sys/kernel/mm/ksm), and even
when ksmd itself has to cancel a KSM page, it is possible that the
first OOM-kill victim would be the KSM process being faulted: then its
memory won't be freed until a second victim has been selected (freeing
memory for the unmerging fault to complete).
But the OOM killer is already liable to kill a second victim once the
intended victim's p->mm goes to NULL: so there's not much point in
rejecting this KSM patch before fixing that OOM behaviour. It is very
much more important to allow KSM users to boot up, than to haggle over
an unlikely and poorly supported OOM case.
We also intend to fix munlocking to not fault pages: at which point
this patch _could_ be reverted; though that would be controversial, so
we hope to find a better solution.

There's a now-obvious deadlock in KSM's out-of-memory handling:
imagine ksmd or KSM_RUN_UNMERGE handling, holding ksm_thread_mutex,
trying to allocate a page to break KSM in an mm which becomes the
OOM victim (quite likely in the unmerge case): it's killed and goes
to exit, and hangs there waiting to acquire ksm_thread_mutex.
Clearly we must not require ksm_thread_mutex in __ksm_exit, simple
though that made everything else: perhaps use mmap_sem somehow?
And part of the answer lies in the comments on unmerge_ksm_pages:
__ksm_exit should also leave all the rmap_item removal to ksmd.
But there's a fundamental problem, that KSM relies upon mmap_sem to
guarantee the consistency of the mm it's dealing with, yet exit_mmap
tears down an mm without taking mmap_sem. And bumping mm_users won't
help at all, that just ensures that the pages the OOM killer assumes
are on their way to being freed will not be freed.
The best answer seems to be, to move the ksm_exit callout from just
before exit_mmap, to the middle of exit_mmap: after the mm's pages
have been freed (if the mmu_gather is flushed), but before its page
tables and vma structures have been freed; and down_write,up_write
mmap_sem there to serialize with KSM's own reliance on mmap_sem.
But KSM then needs to be careful, whenever it downs mmap_sem, to
check that the mm is not already exiting: there's a danger of using
find_vma on a layout that's being torn apart, or writing into page
tables which have been freed for reuse; and even do_anonymous_page
and __do_fault need to check they're not being called by break_ksm
to reinstate a pte after zap_pte_range has zapped that page table.
Though it might be clearer to add an exiting flag, set while holding
mmap_sem in __ksm_exit, that wouldn't cover the issue of reinstating
a zapped pte. All we need is to check whether mm_users is 0 - but
must remember that ksmd may detect that before __ksm_exit is reached.
So, ksm_test_exit(mm) added to comment such checks on mm->mm_users.
__ksm_exit now has to leave clearing up the rmap_items to ksmd,
that needs ksm_thread_mutex; but shift the exiting mm just after the
ksm_scan cursor so that it will soon be dealt with. __ksm_enter raise
mm_count to hold the mm_struct, ksmd's exit processing (exactly like
its processing when it finds all VM_MERGEABLEs unmapped) mmdrop it,
similar procedure for KSM_RUN_UNMERGE (which has stopped ksmd).
But also give __ksm_exit a fast path: when there's no complication
(no rmap_items attached to mm and it's not at the ksm_scan cursor),
it can safely do all the exiting work itself. This is not just an
optimization: when ksmd is not running, the raised mm_count would
otherwise leak mm_structs.

KSM will need to identify its kernel merged pages unambiguously, and
/proc/kpageflags will probably like to do so too.
Since KSM will only be substituting anonymous pages, statistics are best
preserved by making a PageKsm page a special PageAnon page: one with no
anon_vma.
But KSM then needs its own page_add_ksm_rmap() - keep it in ksm.h near
PageKsm; and do_wp_page() must COW them, unlike singly mapped PageAnons.

page_dup_rmap(), used on each mapped page when forking, was originally
just an inline atomic_inc of mapcount. 2.6.22 added CONFIG_DEBUG_VM
out-of-line checks to it, which would need to be ever-so-slightly
complicated to allow for the PageKsm() we're about to define.
But I think these checks never caught anything. And if it's coding errors
we're worried about, such checks should be in page_remove_rmap() too, not
just when forking; whereas if it's pagetable corruption we're worried
about, then they shouldn't be limited to CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.
Oh, just revert page_dup_rmap() to an inline atomic_inc of mapcount.

This patch presents the mm interface to a dummy version of ksm.c, for
better scrutiny of that interface: the real ksm.c follows later.
When CONFIG_KSM is not set, madvise(2) reject MADV_MERGEABLE and
MADV_UNMERGEABLE with EINVAL, since that seems more helpful than
pretending that they can be serviced. But when CONFIG_KSM=y, accept them
even if KSM is not currently running, and even on areas which KSM will not
touch (e.g. hugetlb or shared file or special driver mappings).
Like other madvices, report ENOMEM despite success if any area in the
range is unmapped, and use EAGAIN to report out of memory.
Define vma flag VM_MERGEABLE to identify an area on which KSM may try
merging pages: leave it to ksm_madvise() to decide whether to set it.
Define mm flag MMF_VM_MERGEABLE to identify an mm which might contain
VM_MERGEABLE areas, to minimize callouts when forking or exiting.

The out-of-tree KSM used ioctls on fds cloned from /dev/ksm to register a
memory area for merging: we prefer now to use an madvise(2) interface.
This patch just defines MADV_MERGEABLE (to tell KSM it may merge pages in
this area found identical to pages in other mergeable areas) and
MADV_UNMERGEABLE (to undo that).
Most architectures use asm-generic, but alpha, mips, parisc, xtensa need
their own definitions: included here for mmotm convenience, but we'll
probably want to split this and feed pieces to arch maintainers.

KSM is a linux driver that allows dynamicly sharing identical memory pages
between one or more processes.
Unlike tradtional page sharing that is made at the allocation of the
memory, ksm do it dynamicly after the memory was created. Memory is
periodically scanned; identical pages are identified and merged.
The sharing is made in a transparent way to the processes that use it.
Ksm is highly important for hypervisors (kvm), where in production
enviorments there might be many copys of the same data data among the host
memory. This kind of data can be: similar kernels, librarys, cache, and
so on.
Even that ksm was wrote for kvm, any userspace application that want to
use it to share its data can try it.
Ksm may be useful for any application that might have similar (page
aligment) data strctures among the memory, ksm will find this data merge
it to one copy, and even if it will be changed and thereforew copy on
writed, ksm will merge it again as soon as it will be identical again.
Another reason to consider using ksm is the fact that it might simplify
alot the userspace code of application that want to use shared private
data, instead that the application will mange shared area, ksm will do
this for the application, and even write to this data will be allowed
without any synchinization acts from the application.
Ksm was designed to be a loadable module that doesn't change the VM code
of linux.
This patch:
The set_pte_at_notify() macro allows setting a pte in the shadow page
table directly, instead of flushing the shadow page table entry and then
getting vmexit to set it. It uses a new change_pte() callback to do so.
set_pte_at_notify() is an optimization for kvm, and other users of
mmu_notifiers, for COW pages. It is useful for kvm when ksm is used,
because it allows kvm not to have to receive vmexit and only then map the
ksm page into the shadow page table, but instead map it directly at the
same time as Linux maps the page into the host page table.
Users of mmu_notifiers who don't implement new mmu_notifier_change_pte()
callback will just receive the mmu_notifier_invalidate_page() callback.

By the time PG_mlocked is cleared in the page freeing path, nobody else is
looking at our page->flags anymore.
It is thus safe to make the test-and-clear non-atomic and thereby removing
an unnecessary and expensive operation from a hotpath.
