KOSAKI Motohiro a26f5320c4 vmscan: kill unnecessary prefetch
The pages in the list passed move_active_pages_to_lru() are already
touched by shrink_active_list().  IOW the prefetch in
move_active_pages_to_lru() don't populate any cache.  it's pointless.

This patch remove it.

Wu Fengguang adea02a1be mm: count only reclaimable lru pages
global_lru_pages() / zone_lru_pages() can be used in two ways:
- to estimate max reclaimable pages in determine_dirtyable_memory()
- to calculate the slab scan ratio

When swap is full or not present, the anon lru lists are not reclaimable
and also won't be scanned.  So the anon pages shall not be counted in both
usage scenarios.  Also rename to _reclaimable_pages: now they are counting
the possibly reclaimable lru pages.

It can greatly (and correctly) increase the slab scan rate under high
memory pressure (when most file pages have been reclaimed and swap is
full/absent), thus reduce false OOM kills.

Rik van Riel 35cd78156c vmscan: throttle direct reclaim when too many pages are isolated already
When way too many processes go into direct reclaim, it is possible for all
of the pages to be taken off the LRU.  One result of this is that the next
process in the page reclaim code thinks there are no reclaimable pages
left and triggers an out of memory kill.

One solution to this problem is to never let so many processes into the
page reclaim path that the entire LRU is emptied.  Limiting the system to
only having half of each inactive list isolated for reclaim should be
safe.

KOSAKI Motohiro a731286de6 mm: vmstat: add isolate pages
If the system is running a heavy load of processes then concurrent reclaim
can isolate a large number of pages from the LRU. /proc/vmstat and the
output generated for an OOM do not show how many pages were isolated.

This has been observed during process fork bomb testing (mstctl11 in LTP).

This patch shows the information about isolated pages.

KOSAKI Motohiro b35ea17b7b mm: shrink_inactive_list() nr_scan accounting fix fix
If sc->isolate_pages() return 0, we don't need to call shrink_page_list().
In past days, shrink_inactive_list() handled it properly.

But commit fb8d14e1 (three years ago commit!) breaked it.  current
shrink_inactive_list() always call shrink_page_list() although
isolate_pages() return 0.

This patch restore proper return value check.

Requirements:
  o "nr_taken == 0" condition should stay before calling shrink_page_list().
  o "nr_taken == 0" condition should stay after nr_scan related statistics
     modification.

KOSAKI Motohiro 4b02108ac1 mm: oom analysis: add shmem vmstat
Recently we encountered OOM problems due to memory use of the GEM cache.
Generally a large amuont of Shmem/Tmpfs pages tend to create a memory
shortage problem.

We often use the following calculation to determine the amount of shmem
pages:

shmem = NR_ACTIVE_ANON + NR_INACTIVE_ANON - NR_ANON_PAGES

however the expression does not consider isolated and mlocked pages.

This patch adds explicit accounting for pages used by shmem and tmpfs.

Lee Schermerhorn 57dd28fb05 hugetlb: restore interleaving of bootmem huge pages
I noticed that alloc_bootmem_huge_page() will only advance to the next
node on failure to allocate a huge page, potentially filling nodes with
huge-pages.  I asked about this on linux-mm and linux-numa, cc'ing the
usual huge page suspects.

Mel Gorman responded:

	I strongly suspect that the same node being used until allocation
	failure instead of round-robin is an oversight and not deliberate
	at all. It appears to be a side-effect of a fix made way back in
	commit 63b4613c3f ["hugetlb: fix
	hugepage allocation with memoryless nodes"]. Prior to that patch
	it looked like allocations would always round-robin even when
	allocation was successful.

This patch--factored out of my "hugetlb mempolicy" series--moves the
advance of the hstate next node from which to allocate up before the test
for success of the attempted allocation.

Note that alloc_bootmem_huge_page() is only used for order > MAX_ORDER
huge pages.

I'll post a separate patch for mainline/stable, as the above mentioned
"balance freeing" series renamed the next node to alloc function.

New function free_pool_huge_page() is modeled on and performs roughly the

now has no callers, so this patch removes it.

Helper function hstate_next_node_to_free() uses new hstate member
next_to_free_nid to distribute "frees" across all nodes with huge pages.

David Rientjes 478b81fd84 mm: remove obsoleted alloc_pages cpuset comment
When a cpuset's nodemask is updated, all attached tasks have their cached
task->mems_allowed updated by a heap instead of requiring an explicit call
to cpuset_update_task_memory_state(), which has since been removed in
58568d2a82 ("cpuset,mm: update tasks'
mems_allowed in time").

Remove the obsoleted comment from the page allocator.

Jan Kara 580be0837a fs: make sure data stored into inode is properly seen before unlocking new inode
In theory it could happen that on one CPU we initialize a new inode but
clearing of I_NEW | I_LOCK gets reordered before some of the
initialization.  Thus on another CPU we return not fully uptodate inode
from iget_locked().

This seems to fix a corruption issue on ext3 mounted over NFS.
