Mel Gorman 754078eb45 mm, page_alloc: use __dec_zone_state for order-0 page allocation
__dec_zone_state is cheaper to use for removing an order-0 page as it
has fewer conditions to check.

The performance difference on a page allocator microbenchmark is;

Mel Gorman 682a3385e7 mm, page_alloc: inline the fast path of the zonelist iterator
The page allocator iterates through a zonelist for zones that match the
addressing limitations and nodemask of the caller but many allocations
will not be restricted.  Despite this, there is always functional call
overhead which builds up.

This patch inlines the optimistic basic case and only calls the iterator
function for the complex case.  A hindrance was the fact that
cpuset_current_mems_allowed is used in the fastpath as the allowed
nodemask even though all nodes are allowed on most systems.  The patch
handles this by only considering cpuset_current_mems_allowed if a cpuset
exists.  As well as being faster in the fast-path, this removes some
junk in the slowpath.

The performance difference on a page allocator microbenchmark is;

perf indicated that next_zones_zonelist disappeared in the profile and
__next_zones_zonelist did not appear.  This is expected as the
micro-benchmark would hit the inlined fast-path every time.

Mel Gorman 175145748d mm, page_alloc: use new PageAnonHead helper in the free page fast path
The PageAnon check always checks for compound_head but this is a
relatively expensive check if the caller already knows the page is a
head page.  This patch creates a helper and uses it in the page free
path which only operates on head pages.

With this patch and "Only check PageCompound for high-order pages", the

There is a sizable boost to the free allocator performance.  While there
is an apparent boost on the allocation side, it's likely a co-incidence
or due to the patches slightly reducing cache footprint.

Mel Gorman d61f859039 mm, page_alloc: only check PageCompound for high-order pages
Another year, another round of page allocator optimisations focusing
this time on the alloc and free fast paths.  This should be of help to
workloads that are allocator-intensive from kernel space where the cost
of zeroing is not nceessraily incurred.

The series is motivated by the observation that page alloc
microbenchmarks on multiple machines regressed between 3.12.44 and 4.4.
Second, there is discussions before LSF/MM considering the possibility
of adding another page allocator which is potentially hazardous but a
patch series improving performance is better than whining.

After the series is applied, there are still hazards.  In the free
paths, the debugging checking and page zone/pageblock lookups dominate
but there was not an obvious solution to that.  In the alloc path, the
major contributers are dealing with zonelists, new page preperation, the
fair zone allocation and numerous statistic updates.  The fair zone
allocator is removed by the per-node LRU series if that gets merged so
it's nor a major concern at the moment.

On normal userspace benchmarks, there is little impact as the zeroing
cost is significant but it's visible

Michal Hocko 449d777d7a mm, oom_reaper: clear TIF_MEMDIE for all tasks queued for oom_reaper
Right now the oom reaper will clear TIF_MEMDIE only for tasks which were
successfully reaped.  This is the safest option because we know that
such an oom victim would only block forward progress of the oom killer
without a good reason because it is highly unlikely it would release
much more memory.  Basically most of its memory has been already torn
down.

We can relax this assumption to catch more corner cases though.

The first obvious one is when the oom victim clears its mm and gets
stuck later on.  oom_reaper would back of on find_lock_task_mm returning
NULL.  We can safely try to clear TIF_MEMDIE in this case because such a
task would be ignored by the oom killer anyway.  The flag would be
cleared by that time already most of the time anyway.

The less obvious one is when the oom reaper fails due to mmap_sem
contention.  Even if we clear TIF_MEMDIE for this task then it is not
very likely that we would select another task too easily because we
haven't reaped the last victim and so it would be still the #1
candidate.  There is a rare race condition possible when the current
victim terminates before the next select_bad_process but considering
that oom_reap_task had retried several times before giving up then this
sounds like a borderline thing.

After this patch we should have a guarantee that the OOM killer will not
be block for unbounded amount of time for most cases.

Michal Hocko 3ef22dfff2 oom, oom_reaper: try to reap tasks which skip regular OOM killer path
If either the current task is already killed or PF_EXITING or a selected
task is PF_EXITING then the oom killer is suppressed and so is the oom
reaper.  This patch adds try_oom_reaper which checks the given task and
queues it for the oom reaper if that is safe to be done meaning that the
task doesn't share the mm with an alive process.

This might help to release the memory pressure while the task tries to
exit.

Michal Hocko 3da88fb3ba mm, oom: move GFP_NOFS check to out_of_memory
__alloc_pages_may_oom is the central place to decide when the
out_of_memory should be invoked.  This is a good approach for most
checks there because they are page allocator specific and the allocation
fails right after for all of them.

The notable exception is GFP_NOFS context which is faking
did_some_progress and keep the page allocator looping even though there
couldn't have been any progress from the OOM killer.  This patch doesn't
change this behavior because we are not ready to allow those allocation
requests to fail yet (and maybe we will face the reality that we will
never manage to safely fail these request).  Instead __GFP_FS check is
moved down to out_of_memory and prevent from OOM victim selection there.
There are two reasons for that

	- OOM notifiers might release some memory even from this context
	  as none of the registered notifier seems to be FS related
	- this might help a dying thread to get an access to memory
          reserves and move on which will make the behavior more
          consistent with the case when the task gets killed from a
          different context.

Keep a comment in __alloc_pages_may_oom to make sure we do not forget
how GFP_NOFS is special and that we really want to do something about
it.

Note to the current oom_notifier users:

The observable difference for you is that oom notifiers cannot depend on
any fs locks because we could deadlock.  Not that this would be allowed
today because that would just lockup machine in most of the cases and
ruling out the OOM killer along the way.  Another difference is that
callbacks might be invoked sooner now because GFP_NOFS is a weaker
reclaim context and so there could be reclaimable memory which is just
not reachable now.  That would require GFP_NOFS only loads which are
really rare and more importantly the observable result would be dropping
of reconstructible object and potential performance drop which is not
such a big deal when we are struggling to fulfill other important
allocation requests.

Vitaly Kuznetsov 8604d9e534 memory_hotplug: introduce CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE
This patchset continues the work I started with commit 31bc3858ea
("memory-hotplug: add automatic onlining policy for the newly added
memory").

Initially I was going to stop there and bring the policy setting logic
to userspace.  I met two issues on this way:

 1) It is possible to have memory hotplugged at boot (e.g.  with QEMU).
    These blocks stay offlined if we turn the onlining policy on by
    userspace.

 2) My attempt to bring this policy setting to systemd failed, systemd
    maintainers suggest to change the default in kernel or ...  to use
    tmpfiles.d to alter the policy (which looks like a hack to me):
        https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/2938

Here I suggest to add a config option to set the default value for the
policy and a kernel command line parameter to make the override.

This patch (of 2):

Introduce config option to set the default value for memory hotplug
onlining policy (/sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks).  The
reason one would want to turn this option on are to have early onlining
for hotpluggable memory available at boot and to not require any
userspace actions to make memory hotplug work.

Whatever huge pagecache implementation we go with, file rmap locking
must be added to anon rmap locking, when mremap's move_page_tables()

Factor out take_rmap_locks() and drop_rmap_locks() to handle the locking
for make move_ptes() and move_page_tables(), and delete the
VM_BUG_ON_VMA which rejected vm_file and required anon_vma.

Hugh Dickins 52b6f46bc1 mm: /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh to force vmstat update
Provide /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh to force an immediate update of
per-cpu into global vmstats: useful to avoid a sleep(2) or whatever
before checking counts when testing.  Originally added to work around a
bug which left counts stranded indefinitely on a cpu going idle (an
inaccuracy magnified when small below-batch numbers represent "huge"
amounts of memory), but I believe that bug is now fixed: nonetheless,
this is still a useful knob.

Its schedule_on_each_cpu() is probably too expensive just to fold into
reading /proc/meminfo itself: give this mode 0600 to prevent abuse.
Allow a write or a read to do the same: nothing to read, but "grep -h
Shmem /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh /proc/meminfo" is convenient.  Oh, and
since global_page_state() itself is careful to disguise any underflow as
0, hack in an "Invalid argument" and pr_warn() if a counter is negative
after the refresh - this helped to fix a misaccounting of
NR_ISOLATED_FILE in my migration code.

But on recent kernels, I find that NR_ALLOC_BATCH and NR_PAGES_SCANNED
often go negative some of the time.  I have not yet worked out why, but
have no evidence that it's actually harmful.  Punt for the moment by
just ignoring the anomaly on those.

Andres Lagar-Cavilla 9e18eb2935 tmpfs: mem_cgroup charge fault to vm_mm not current mm
Although shmem_fault() has been careful to count a major fault to vm_mm,
shmem_getpage_gfp() has been careless in charging a remote access fault
to current->mm owner's memcg instead of to vma->vm_mm owner's memcg:
that is inconsistent with all the mem_cgroup charging on remote access
faults in mm/memory.c.

Fix it by passing fault_mm along with fault_type to
shmem_get_page_gfp(); but in that case, now knowing the right mm, it's
better for it to handle the PGMAJFAULT updates itself.

And let's keep this clutter out of most callers' way: change the common
shmem_getpage() wrapper to hide fault_mm and fault_type as well as gfp.

Hugh Dickins 75edd345e8 tmpfs: preliminary minor tidyups
Make a few cleanups in mm/shmem.c, before going on to complicate it.

shmem_alloc_page() will become more complicated: we can't afford to to
have that complication duplicated between a CONFIG_NUMA version and a
!CONFIG_NUMA version, so rearrange the #ifdef'ery there to yield a
single shmem_swapin() and a single shmem_alloc_page().

Yes, it's a shame to inflict the horrid pseudo-vma on non-NUMA
configurations, but eliminating it is a larger cleanup: I have an
alloc_pages_mpol() patchset not yet ready - mpol handling is subtle and
bug-prone, and changed yet again since my last version.

Move __SetPageLocked, __SetPageSwapBacked from shmem_getpage_gfp() to
shmem_alloc_page(): that SwapBacked flag will be useful in future, to
help to distinguish different cases appropriately.

And the SGP_DIRTY variant of SGP_CACHE is hard to understand and of
little use (IIRC it dates back to when shmem_getpage() returned the page
unlocked): kill it and do the necessary in shmem_file_read_iter().

But an arm64 build then complained that info may be uninitialized (where
shmem_getpage_gfp() deletes a freshly alloced page beyond eof), and
advancing to an "sgp <= SGP_CACHE" test jogged it back to reality.

Hugh Dickins fa9949da59 mm: use __SetPageSwapBacked and dont ClearPageSwapBacked
v3.16 commit 07a4278843 ("mm: shmem: avoid atomic operation during
shmem_getpage_gfp") rightly replaced one instance of SetPageSwapBacked
by __SetPageSwapBacked, pointing out that the newly allocated page is
not yet visible to other users (except speculative get_page_unless_zero-
ers, who may not update page flags before their further checks).

That was part of a series in which Mel was focused on tmpfs profiles:
but almost all SetPageSwapBacked uses can be so optimized, with the same
justification.

Remove ClearPageSwapBacked from __read_swap_cache_async() error path:
it's not an error to free a page with PG_swapbacked set.

Follow a convention of __SetPageLocked, __SetPageSwapBacked instead of
doing it differently in different places; but that's for tidiness - if
the ordering actually mattered, we should not be using the __variants.

There's probably scope for further __SetPageFlags in other places, but
SwapBacked is the one I'm interested in at the moment.

Hugh Dickins 9d5e6a9f22 mm: update_lru_size do the __mod_zone_page_state
Konstantin Khlebnikov pointed out (nearly four years ago, when lumpy
reclaim was removed) that lru_size can be updated by -nr_taken once per
call to isolate_lru_pages(), instead of page by page.

Update it inside isolate_lru_pages(), or at its two callsites? I chose
to update it at the callsites, rearranging and grouping the updates by
nr_taken and nr_scanned together in both.

With one exception, mem_cgroup_update_lru_size(,lru,) is then used where
__mod_zone_page_state(,NR_LRU_BASE+lru,) is used; and we shall be adding
some more calls in a future commit.  Make the code a little smaller and
simpler by incorporating stat update in lru_size update.

The exception was move_active_pages_to_lru(), which aggregated the
pgmoved stat update separately from the individual lru_size updates; but
I still think this a simplification worth making.

However, the __mod_zone_page_state is not peculiar to mem_cgroups: so
better use the name update_lru_size, calls mem_cgroup_update_lru_size
when CONFIG_MEMCG.

Hugh Dickins ca707239e8 mm: update_lru_size warn and reset bad lru_size
Though debug kernels have a VM_BUG_ON to help protect from misaccounting
lru_size, non-debug kernels are liable to wrap it around: and then the
vast unsigned long size draws page reclaim into a loop of repeatedly
doing nothing on an empty list, without even a cond_resched().

That soft lockup looks confusingly like an over-busy reclaim scenario,
with lots of contention on the lru_lock in shrink_inactive_list(): yet
has a totally different origin.

Help differentiate with a custom warning in
mem_cgroup_update_lru_size(), even in non-debug kernels; and reset the
size to avoid the lockup.  But the particular bug which suggested this
change was mine alone, and since fixed.

Make it a WARN_ONCE: the first occurrence is the most informative, a
flurry may follow, yet even when rate-limited little more is learnt.

There is a system thats node's pfns are overlapped as follows:

Therefore, we need to care this overlapping when iterating pfn range.

mark_free_pages() iterates requested zone's pfn range and unset all
range's bitmap first.  And then it marks freepages in a zone to the
bitmap.  If there is an overlapping zone, above unset could clear
previous marked bit and reference to this bitmap in the future will
cause the problem.  To prevent it, this patch adds a zone check in
mark_free_pages().

Joonsoo Kim a91c43c731 mm/vmstat: add zone range overlapping check
There is a system thats node's pfns are overlapped as follows:

  -----pfn-------->
  N0 N1 N2 N0 N1 N2

Therefore, we need to care this overlapping when iterating pfn range.

There are two places in vmstat.c that iterates pfn range and they don't
consider this overlapping.  Add it.

Without this patch, above system could over count pageblock number on a
zone.

__offline_isolated_pages() and test_pages_isolated() are used by memory

there is no code to do this because memory hotplug checks it before
calling these functions.  To avoid confusing future user of these

Joonsoo Kim f44b2dda8b mm/hugetlb: add same zone check in pfn_range_valid_gigantic()
This patchset deals with some problematic sites that iterate pfn ranges.

There is a system thats node's pfns are overlapped as follows:

  -----pfn-------->
  N0 N1 N2 N0 N1 N2

Therefore, we need to take care of this overlapping when iterating pfn
range.

I audit many iterating sites that uses pfn_valid(), pfn_valid_within(),
zone_start_pfn and etc.  and others looks safe to me.  This is a
preparation step for a new CMA implementation, ZONE_CMA
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/12/95), because it would be easily
overlapped with other zones.  But, zone overlap check is also needed for
the general case so I send it separately.

This patch (of 5):

alloc_gigantic_page() uses alloc_contig_range() and this requires that
the requested range is in a single zone.  To satisfy this requirement,
add this check to pfn_range_valid_gigantic().

Vlastimil Babka fdd048e12c mm, compaction: skip blocks where isolation fails in async direct compaction
The goal of direct compaction is to quickly make a high-order page
available for the pending allocation.  Within an aligned block of pages
of desired order, a single allocated page that cannot be isolated for
migration means that the block cannot fully merge to a buddy page that
would satisfy the allocation request.  Therefore we can reduce the
allocation stall by skipping the rest of the block immediately on
isolation failure.  For async compaction, this also means a higher
chance of succeeding until it detects contention.

We however shouldn't completely sacrifice the second objective of
compaction, which is to reduce overal long-term memory fragmentation.
As a compromise, perform the eager skipping only in direct async
compaction, while sync compaction (including kcompactd) remains
thorough.

Testing was done using stress-highalloc from mmtests, configured for
order-4 GFP_KERNEL allocations:

                                 4.6-rc1               4.6-rc1
                                  before                 after
  Success 1 Min         24.00 (  0.00%)       27.00 (-12.50%)
  Success 1 Mean        30.20 (  0.00%)       31.60 ( -4.64%)
  Success 1 Max         37.00 (  0.00%)       35.00 (  5.41%)
  Success 2 Min         42.00 (  0.00%)       32.00 ( 23.81%)
  Success 2 Mean        44.00 (  0.00%)       44.80 ( -1.82%)
  Success 2 Max         48.00 (  0.00%)       52.00 ( -8.33%)
  Success 3 Min         91.00 (  0.00%)       92.00 ( -1.10%)
  Success 3 Mean        92.20 (  0.00%)       92.80 ( -0.65%)
  Success 3 Max         94.00 (  0.00%)       93.00 (  1.06%)

We can see that success rates are unaffected by the skipping.

                4.6-rc1     4.6-rc1
                 before       after

  System        482.89      471.20
  Elapsed      1395.68     1382.00

Times are not so useful metric for this benchmark as main portion is the
interfering kernel builds, but results do hint at reduced system times.

  Direct pages reclaimed              163354      159505

Reduced direct reclaim was unintended, but could be explained by more
successful first attempt at (async) direct compaction, which is
attempted before the first reclaim attempt in __alloc_pages_slowpath().

  Compaction stalls                    33052       39853

  Compaction failures                  20931       20079

Compaction is indeed more successful, and thus less likely to get
deferred, so there are also more direct compaction stalls.

  Page migrate success               3781876     3326819
  Page migrate failure                 45817       41774

Vlastimil Babka a34753d275 mm, compaction: reduce spurious pcplist drains
Compaction drains the local pcplists each time migration scanner moves
away from a cc->order aligned block where it isolated pages for
migration, so that the pages freed by migrations can merge into higher
orders.

The detection is currently coarser than it could be.  The
cc->last_migrated_pfn variable should track the lowest pfn that was
isolated for migration.  But it is set to the pfn where
isolate_migratepages_block() starts scanning, which is typically the
first pfn of the pageblock.  There, the scanner might fail to isolate
several order-aligned blocks, and then isolate COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX in
another block.  This would cause the pcplists drain to be performed,
although the scanner didn't yet finish the block where it isolated from.

This patch thus makes cc->last_migrated_pfn handling more accurate by
setting it to the pfn of an actually isolated page in
isolate_migratepages_block().  Although practical effects of this patch
are likely low, it arguably makes the intent of the code more obvious.
Also the next patch will make async direct compaction skip blocks more
aggressively, and draining pcplists due to skipped blocks is wasteful.

I guess the comment tries to say that the code path is triggered when we
charge the page which happens _before_ it is added to the LRU list and
so last_scanned_node might contain the stale data.

Vaishali Thakkar 9fee021d15 mm/hugetlb: introduce hugetlb_bad_size()
When any unsupported hugepage size is specified, 'hugepagesz=' and
'hugepages=' should be ignored during command line parsing until any
supported hugepage size is found.  But currently incorrect number of
hugepages are allocated when unsupported size is specified as it fails
to ignore the 'hugepages=' command.

Test case:

Note that this is specific to x86 architecture.

Boot the kernel with command line option 'hugepagesz=256M hugepages=X'.
After boot, dmesg output shows that X number of hugepages of the size 2M
is pre-allocated instead of 0.

So, to handle such command line options, introduce new routine
hugetlb_bad_size.  The routine hugetlb_bad_size sets the global variable
parsed_valid_hugepagesz.  We are using parsed_valid_hugepagesz to save
the state when unsupported hugepagesize is found so that we can ignore
the 'hugepages=' parameters after that and then reset the variable when
supported hugepage size is found.

The routine hugetlb_bad_size can be called while setting 'hugepagesz='
parameter in an architecture specific code.

Mike Kravetz 09a95e29cb mm/hugetlb: optimize minimum size (min_size) accounting
It was observed that minimum size accounting associated with the
hugetlbfs min_size mount option may not perform optimally and as
expected.  As huge pages/reservations are released from the filesystem
and given back to the global pools, they are reserved for subsequent
filesystem use as long as the subpool reserved count is less than
subpool minimum size.  It does not take into account used pages within
the filesystem.  The filesystem size limits are not exceeded and this is
technically not a bug.  However, better behavior would be to wait for
the number of used pages/reservations associated with the filesystem to
drop below the minimum size before taking reservations to satisfy
minimum size.

An optimization is also made to the hugepage_subpool_get_pages() routine
which is called when pages/reservations are allocated.  This does not
change behavior, but simply avoids the accounting if all reservations
have already been taken (subpool reserved count == 0).

Yang Shi a3187e438b mm: slab: remove ZONE_DMA_FLAG
Now we have IS_ENABLED helper to check if a Kconfig option is enabled or
not, so ZONE_DMA_FLAG sounds no longer useful.

And, the use of ZONE_DMA_FLAG in slab looks pointless according to the
comment [1] from Johannes Weiner, so remove them and ORing passed in
flags with the cache gfp flags has been done in kmem_getpages().

Thomas Garnier c7ce4f60ac mm: SLAB freelist randomization
Provides an optional config (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM) to randomize
the SLAB freelist.  The list is randomized during initialization of a
new set of pages.  The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed
at boot for performance.  Each kmem_cache has its own randomized
freelist.  Before pre-computed lists are available freelists are
generated dynamically.  This security feature reduces the predictability
of the kernel SLAB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks
much less stable.

For example this attack against SLUB (also applicable against SLAB)
would be affected:

  https://jon.oberheide.org/blog/2010/09/10/linux-kernel-can-slub-overflow/

Also, since v4.6 the freelist was moved at the end of the SLAB.  It
means a controllable heap is opened to new attacks not yet publicly
discussed.  A kernel heap overflow can be transformed to multiple
use-after-free.  This feature makes this type of attack harder too.

To generate entropy, we use get_random_bytes_arch because 0 bits of
entropy is available in the boot stage.  In the worse case this function
will fallback to the get_random_bytes sub API.  We also generate a shift
random number to shift pre-computed freelist for each new set of pages.

The config option name is not specific to the SLAB as this approach will
be extended to other allocators like SLUB.

Performance results highlighted no major changes:

Hackbench (running 90 10 times):

  Before average: 0.0698
  After average: 0.0663 (-5.01%)

slab_test 1 run on boot.  Difference only seen on the 2048 size test
being the worse case scenario covered by freelist randomization.  New
slab pages are constantly being created on the 10000 allocations.
Variance should be mainly due to getting new pages every few
allocations.

Vladimir Davydov 81ae6d0395 mm/slub.c: replace kick_all_cpus_sync() with synchronize_sched() in kmem_cache_shrink()
When we call __kmem_cache_shrink on memory cgroup removal, we need to
synchronize kmem_cache->cpu_partial update with put_cpu_partial that
might be running on other cpus.  Currently, we achieve that by using
kick_all_cpus_sync, which works as a system wide memory barrier.  Though
fast it is, this method has a flaw - it issues a lot of IPIs, which
might hurt high performance or real-time workloads.

To fix this, let's replace kick_all_cpus_sync with synchronize_sched.
Although the latter one may take much longer to finish, it shouldn't be
a problem in this particular case, because memory cgroups are destroyed
asynchronously from a workqueue so that no user visible effects should
be introduced.  OTOH, it will save us from excessive IPIs when someone
removes a cgroup.

Anyway, even if using synchronize_sched turns out to take too long, we
can always introduce a kind of __kmem_cache_shrink batching so that this
method would only be called once per one cgroup destruction (not per
each per memcg kmem cache as it is now).

Joonsoo Kim 801faf0db8 mm/slab: lockless decision to grow cache
To check whether free objects exist or not precisely, we need to grab a
lock.  But, accuracy isn't that important because race window would be
even small and if there is too much free object, cache reaper would reap
it.  So, this patch makes the check for free object exisistence not to
hold a lock.  This will reduce lock contention in heavily allocation
case.

Note that until now, n->shared can be freed during the processing by
writing slabinfo, but, with some trick in this patch, we can access it
freely within interrupt disabled period.

Below is the result of concurrent allocation/free in slab allocation
benchmark made by Christoph a long time ago.  I make the output simpler.
The number shows cycle count during alloc/free respectively so less is
better.

  * Before
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=248/966
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=261/949
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=314/1016
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=741/1061
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=1246/1152
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=2437/1259
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=4980/1800
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=9000/2078

  * After
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=344/792
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=347/882
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=390/959
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=393/1067
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=683/1229

  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=2513/1664
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=4742/2172

It shows that allocation performance decreases for the object size up to
128 and it may be due to extra checks in cache_alloc_refill().  But,
with considering improvement of free performance, net result looks the
same.  Result for other size class looks very promising, roughly, 50%
performance improvement.

Joonsoo Kim 213b46958c mm/slab: refill cpu cache through a new slab without holding a node lock
Until now, cache growing makes a free slab on node's slab list and then
we can allocate free objects from it.  This necessarily requires to hold
a node lock which is very contended.  If we refill cpu cache before
attaching it to node's slab list, we can avoid holding a node lock as
much as possible because this newly allocated slab is only visible to
the current task.  This will reduce lock contention.

Below is the result of concurrent allocation/free in slab allocation
benchmark made by Christoph a long time ago.  I make the output simpler.
The number shows cycle count during alloc/free respectively so less is

This is a preparation step to implement lockless allocation path when
there is no free objects in kmem_cache.

What we'd like to do here is to refill cpu cache without holding a node
lock.  To accomplish this purpose, refill should be done after new slab
allocation but before attaching the slab to the management list.  So,
this patch separates cache_grow() to two parts, allocation and attaching
to the list in order to add some code inbetween them in the following
patch.

So, this patch makes cache_grow() handle the page allocated on arbitrary

Joonsoo Kim 6052b7880a mm/slab: don't keep free slabs if free_objects exceeds free_limit
Currently, determination to free a slab is done whenever each freed
object is put into the slab.  This has a following problem.

Assume free_limit = 10 and nr_free = 9.

Free happens as following sequence and nr_free changes as following.

free(become a free slab) free(not become a free slab) nr_free: 9 -> 10
(at first free) -> 11 (at second free)

If we try to check if we can free current slab or not on each object
free, we can't free any slab in this situation because current slab
isn't a free slab when nr_free exceed free_limit (at second free) even
if there is a free slab.

However, if we check it lastly, we can free 1 free slab.

This problem would cause to keep too much memory in the slab subsystem.
This patch try to fix it by checking number of free object after all
free work is done.  If there is free slab at that time, we can free slab
as much as possible so we keep free slab as minimal.

Initial attemp to remove BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC is once reverted by 'commit

causes a problem on m68k which has many node but !CONFIG_NUMA.  In this
case, although alien cache isn't used at all but to cope with some
initialization path, garbage value is used and that is BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC.
Now, this patch set use_alien_caches to 0 when !CONFIG_NUMA, there is no
initialization path problem so we don't need BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC at all.  So
remove it.

It shows that performance improves greatly (roughly more than 50%) for
the object class whose size is more than 128 bytes.

This patch (of 11):

If we don't hold neither the slab_mutex nor the node lock, node's shared
array cache could be freed and re-populated.  If __kmem_cache_shrink()
is called at the same time, it will call drain_array() with n->shared
without holding node lock so problem can happen.  This patch fix the
situation by holding the node lock before trying to drain the shared
array.

In addition, add a debug check to confirm that n->shared access race
doesn't exist.

Pull parallel filesystem directory handling update from Al Viro.

This is the main parallel directory work by Al that makes the vfs layer
able to do lookup and readdir in parallel within a single directory.
That's a big change, since this used to be all protected by the
directory inode mutex.

The inode mutex is replaced by an rwsem, and serialization of lookups of
a single name is done by a "in-progress" dentry marker.

The series begins with xattr cleanups, and then ends with switching
filesystems over to actually doing the readdir in parallel (switching to
the "iterate_shared()" that only takes the read lock).

A more detailed explanation of the process from Al Viro:
 "The xattr work starts with some acl fixes, then switches ->getxattr to
  passing inode and dentry separately.  This is the point where the
  things start to get tricky - that got merged into the very beginning
  of the -rc3-based #work.lookups, to allow untangling the
  security_d_instantiate() mess.  The xattr work itself proceeds to
  switch a lot of filesystems to generic_...xattr(); no complications
  there.

  After that initial xattr work, the series then does the following:

   - untangle security_d_instantiate()

   - convert a bunch of open-coded lookup_one_len_unlocked() to calls of
     that thing; one such place (in overlayfs) actually yields a trivial
     conflict with overlayfs fixes later in the cycle - overlayfs ended
     up switching to a variant of lookup_one_len_unlocked() sans the
     permission checks.  I would've dropped that commit (it gets
     overridden on merge from #ovl-fixes in #for-next; proper resolution
     is to use the variant in mainline fs/overlayfs/super.c), but I
     didn't want to rebase the damn thing - it was fairly late in the
     cycle...

   - some filesystems had managed to depend on lookup/lookup exclusion
     for *fs-internal* data structures in a way that would break if we
     relaxed the VFS exclusion.  Fixing hadn't been hard, fortunately.

   - core of that series - parallel lookup machinery, replacing
     ->i_mutex with rwsem, making lookup_slow() take it only shared.  At
     that point lookups happen in parallel; lookups on the same name
     wait for the in-progress one to be done with that dentry.

     Surprisingly little code, at that - almost all of it is in
     fs/dcache.c, with fs/namei.c changes limited to lookup_slow() -
     making it use the new primitive and actually switching to locking
     shared.

   - parallel readdir stuff - first of all, we provide the exclusion on
     per-struct file basis, same as we do for read() vs lseek() for
     regular files.  That takes care of most of the needed exclusion in
     readdir/readdir; however, these guys are trickier than lookups, so
     I went for switching them one-by-one.  To do that, a new method
     '->iterate_shared()' is added and filesystems are switched to it
     as they are either confirmed to be OK with shared lock on directory
     or fixed to be OK with that.  I hope to kill the original method
     come next cycle (almost all in-tree filesystems are switched
     already), but it's still not quite finished.

   - several filesystems get switched to parallel readdir.  The
     interesting part here is dealing with dcache preseeding by readdir;
     that needs minor adjustment to be safe with directory locked only
     shared.

     Most of the filesystems doing that got switched to in those
     commits.  Important exception: NFS.  Turns out that NFS folks, with
     their, er, insistence on VFS getting the fuck out of the way of the
     Smart Filesystem Code That Knows How And What To Lock(tm) have
     grown the locking of their own.  They had their own homegrown
     rwsem, with lookup/readdir/atomic_open being *writers* (sillyunlink
     is the reader there).  Of course, with VFS getting the fuck out of
     the way, as requested, the actual smarts of the smart filesystem
     code etc. had become exposed...

   - do_last/lookup_open/atomic_open cleanups.  As the result, open()
     without O_CREAT locks the directory only shared.  Including the
     ->atomic_open() case.  Backmerge from #for-linus in the middle of
     that - atomic_open() fix got brought in.

   - then comes NFS switch to saner (VFS-based ;-) locking, killing the
     homegrown "lookup and readdir are writers" kinda-sorta rwsem.  All
     exclusion for sillyunlink/lookup is done by the parallel lookups
     mechanism.  Exclusion between sillyunlink and rmdir is a real rwsem
     now - rmdir being the writer.

     Result: NFS lookups/readdirs/O_CREAT-less opens happen in parallel
     now.

   - the rest of the series consists of switching a lot of filesystems
     to parallel readdir; in a lot of cases ->llseek() gets simplified
     as well.  One backmerge in there (again, #for-linus - rockridge
     fix)"

Andrea Arcangeli 6d0a07edd1 mm: thp: calculate the mapcount correctly for THP pages during WP faults
This will provide fully accuracy to the mapcount calculation in the
write protect faults, so page pinning will not get broken by false
positive copy-on-writes.

total_mapcount() isn't the right calculation needed in
reuse_swap_page(), so this introduces a page_trans_huge_mapcount()
that is effectively the full accurate return value for page_mapcount()
if dealing with Transparent Hugepages, however we only use the
page_trans_huge_mapcount() during COW faults where it strictly needed,
due to its higher runtime cost.

This also provide at practical zero cost the total_mapcount
information which is needed to know if we can still relocate the page
anon_vma to the local vma. If page_trans_huge_mapcount() returns 1 we
can reuse the page no matter if it's a pte or a pmd_trans_huge
triggering the fault, but we can only relocate the page anon_vma to
the local vma->anon_vma if we're sure it's only this "vma" mapping the
whole THP physical range.

Kirill A. Shutemov discovered the problem with moving the page
anon_vma to the local vma->anon_vma in a previous version of this
patch and another problem in the way page_move_anon_rmap() was called.

Andrew Morton discovered that CONFIG_SWAP=n wouldn't build in a
previous version, because reuse_swap_page must be a macro to call
page_trans_huge_mapcount from swap.h, so this uses a macro again
instead of an inline function. With this change at least it's a less
dangerous usage than it was before, because "page" is used only once
now, while with the previous code reuse_swap_page(page++) would have
called page_mapcount on page+1 and it would have increased page twice
instead of just once.

Dean Luick noticed an uninitialized variable that could result in a
rmap inefficiency for the non-THP case in a previous version.

Mike Marciniszyn said:

: Our RDMA tests are seeing an issue with memory locking that bisects to
: commit 61f5d698cc ("mm: re-enable THP")
:
: The test program registers two rather large MRs (512M) and RDMA

:

:
: The "corruption" occurs when the packet crosse two pages that are not physically

:
: It looks like the user VA at the point of the compare error no longer points to

:
: This patch totally resolves the issue!

Zhou Chengming 7496fea9a6 ksm: fix conflict between mmput and scan_get_next_rmap_item
A concurrency issue about KSM in the function scan_get_next_rmap_item.

task A (ksmd):				|task B (the mm's task):
					|
mm = slot->mm;				|
down_read(&mm->mmap_sem);		|
					|
...					|
					|
spin_lock(&ksm_mmlist_lock);		|
					|
ksm_scan.mm_slot go to the next slot;	|
					|
spin_unlock(&ksm_mmlist_lock);		|
					|mmput() ->
					|	ksm_exit():
					|
					|spin_lock(&ksm_mmlist_lock);
					|if (mm_slot && ksm_scan.mm_slot != mm_slot) {
					|	if (!mm_slot->rmap_list) {
					|		easy_to_free = 1;
					|		...
					|
					|if (easy_to_free) {
					|	mmdrop(mm);
					|	...
					|
					|So this mm_struct may be freed in the mmput().
					|
up_read(&mm->mmap_sem);			|

As we can see above, the ksmd thread may access a mm_struct that already
been freed to the kmem_cache.  Suppose a fork will get this mm_struct from
the kmem_cache, the ksmd thread then call up_read(&mm->mmap_sem), will
cause mmap_sem.count to become -1.

As suggested by Andrea Arcangeli, unmerge_and_remove_all_rmap_items has
the same SMP race condition, so fix it too.  My prev fix in function
scan_get_next_rmap_item will introduce a different SMP race condition, so
just invert the up_read/spin_unlock order as Andrea Arcangeli said.

Sergey Senozhatsky 44f43e99fe zsmalloc: fix zs_can_compact() integer overflow
zs_can_compact() has two race conditions in its core calculation:

unsigned long obj_wasted = zs_stat_get(class, OBJ_ALLOCATED) -
				zs_stat_get(class, OBJ_USED);

1) classes are not locked, so the numbers of allocated and used
   objects can change by the concurrent ops happening on other CPUs
2) shrinker invokes it from preemptible context

Depending on the circumstances, thus, OBJ_ALLOCATED can become
less than OBJ_USED, which can result in either very high or
negative `total_scan' value calculated later in do_shrink_slab().

do_shrink_slab() has some logic to prevent those cases:

 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62
 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62
 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-64
 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62
 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62
 vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62

However, due to the way `total_scan' is calculated, not every
shrinker->count_objects() overflow can be spotted and handled.
To demonstrate the latter, I added some debugging code to do_shrink_slab()
(x86_64) and the results were:

 vmscan: OVERFLOW: shrinker->count_objects() == -1 [18446744073709551615]
 vmscan: but total_scan > 0: 92679974445502
 vmscan: resulting total_scan: 92679974445502
[..]
 vmscan: OVERFLOW: shrinker->count_objects() == -1 [18446744073709551615]
 vmscan: but total_scan > 0: 22634041808232578
 vmscan: resulting total_scan: 22634041808232578

Even though shrinker->count_objects() has returned an overflowed value,
the resulting `total_scan' is positive, and, what is more worrisome, it
is insanely huge. This value is getting used later on in
shrinker->scan_objects() loop:

        while (total_scan >= batch_size ||
               total_scan >= freeable) {
                unsigned long ret;
                unsigned long nr_to_scan = min(batch_size, total_scan);

                shrinkctl->nr_to_scan = nr_to_scan;
                ret = shrinker->scan_objects(shrinker, shrinkctl);
                if (ret == SHRINK_STOP)
                        break;
                freed += ret;

                count_vm_events(SLABS_SCANNED, nr_to_scan);
                total_scan -= nr_to_scan;

                cond_resched();
        }

`total_scan >= batch_size' is true for a very-very long time and
'total_scan >= freeable' is also true for quite some time, because
`freeable < 0' and `total_scan' is large enough, for example,
22634041808232578. The only break condition, in the given scheme of
things, is shrinker->scan_objects() == SHRINK_STOP test, which is a
bit too weak to rely on, especially in heavy zsmalloc-usage scenarios.

To fix the issue, take a pool stat snapshot and use it instead of
racy zs_stat_get() calls.

Dan Streetman 32a4e16903 mm/zswap: provide unique zpool name
Instead of using "zswap" as the name for all zpools created, add an
atomic counter and use "zswap%x" with the counter number for each zpool
created, to provide a unique name for each new zpool.

As zsmalloc, one of the zpool implementations, requires/expects a unique
name for each pool created, zswap should provide a unique name.  The
zsmalloc pool creation does not fail if a new pool with a conflicting

zsmalloc pool creation fails with -ENOMEM.  Then zswap will be unable to
change its compressor parameter if its zpool is zsmalloc; it also will
be unable to change its zpool parameter back to zsmalloc, if it has any
existing old zpool using zsmalloc with page(s) in it.  Attempts to
change the parameters will result in failure to create the zpool.  This
changes zswap to provide a unique name for each zpool creation.

Hugh Dickins 14af4a5e9b mm, cma: prevent nr_isolated_* counters from going negative
/proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh warns nr_isolated_anon and nr_isolated_file go
increasingly negative under compaction: which would add delay when
should be none, or no delay when should delay.  The bug in compaction
was due to a recent mmotm patch, but much older instance of the bug was
also noticed in isolate_migratepages_range() which is used for CMA and
gigantic hugepage allocations.

The bug is caused by putback_movable_pages() in an error path
decrementing the isolated counters without them being previously
incremented by acct_isolated().  Fix isolate_migratepages_range() by
removing the error-path putback, thus reaching acct_isolated() with
migratepages still isolated, and leaving putback to caller like most
other places do.

Fixes: edc2ca6124 ("mm, compaction: move pageblock checks up from isolate_migratepages_range()")

Jason Baron bc22af74f2 mm: update min_free_kbytes from khugepaged after core initialization
Khugepaged attempts to raise min_free_kbytes if its set too low.
However, on boot khugepaged sets min_free_kbytes first from
subsys_initcall(), and then the mm 'core' over-rides min_free_kbytes
after from init_per_zone_wmark_min(), via a module_init() call.

Khugepaged used to use a late_initcall() to set min_free_kbytes (such
that it occurred after the core initialization), however this was
removed when the initialization of min_free_kbytes was integrated into
the starting of the khugepaged thread.

The fix here is simply to invoke the core initialization using a
core_initcall() instead of module_init(), such that the previous
initialization ordering is restored.  I didn't restore the
late_initcall() since start_stop_khugepaged() already sets
min_free_kbytes via set_recommended_min_free_kbytes().

This was noticed when we had a number of page allocation failures when
moving a workload to a kernel with this new initialization ordering.  On
an 8GB system this restores min_free_kbytes back to 67584 from 11365
when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y is set and either
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS=y or
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_MADVISE=y.

Hugh Dickins 684283988f huge pagecache: mmap_sem is unlocked when truncation splits pmd
zap_pmd_range()'s CONFIG_DEBUG_VM !rwsem_is_locked(&mmap_sem) BUG() will
be invalid with huge pagecache, in whatever way it is implemented:
truncation of a hugely-mapped file to an unhugely-aligned size would
easily hit it.

(Although anon THP could in principle apply khugepaged to private file
mappings, which are not excluded by the MADV_HUGEPAGE restrictions, in
practice there's a vm_ops check which excludes them, so it never hits
this BUG() - there's no interface to "truncate" an anonymous mapping.)

We could complicate the test, to check i_mmap_rwsem also when there's a
vm_file; but my inclination was to make zap_pmd_range() more readable by
simply deleting this check.  A search has shown no report of the issue
in the years since commit e0897d75f0 ("mm, thp: print useful
information when mmap_sem is unlocked in zap_pmd_range") expanded it
from VM_BUG_ON() - though I cannot point to what commit I would say then
fixed the issue.

But there are a couple of other patches now floating around, neither yet
in the tree: let's agree to retain the check as a VM_BUG_ON_VMA(), as
Matthew Wilcox has done; but subject to a vma_is_anonymous() check, as
Kirill Shutemov has done.  And let's get this in, without waiting for
any particular huge pagecache implementation to reach the tree.

Matthew said "We can reproduce this BUG() in the current Linus tree with
DAX PMDs".

Howard Cochran 74d3694433 writeback: Fix performance regression in wb_over_bg_thresh()
Commit 947e9762a8 ("writeback: update wb_over_bg_thresh() to use
wb_domain aware operations") unintentionally changed this function's
meaning from "are there more dirty pages than the background writeback
threshold" to "are there more dirty pages than the writeback threshold".
The background writeback threshold is typically half of the writeback
threshold, so this had the effect of raising the number of dirty pages
required to cause a writeback worker to perform background writeout.

This can cause a very severe performance regression when a BDI uses
BDI_CAP_STRICTLIMIT because balance_dirty_pages() and the writeback worker
can now disagree on whether writeback should be initiated.

For example, in a system having 1GB of RAM, a single spinning disk, and a
"pass-through" FUSE filesystem mounted over the disk, application code
mmapped a 128MB file on the disk and was randomly dirtying pages in that
mapping.

Because FUSE uses strictlimit and has a default max_ratio of only 1%, in
balance_dirty_pages, thresh is ~200, bg_thresh is ~100, and the
dirty_freerun_ceiling is the average of those, ~150. So, it pauses the
dirtying processes when we have 151 dirty pages and wakes up a background
writeback worker. But the worker tests the wrong threshold (200 instead of
100), so it does not initiate writeback and just returns.

Thus, balance_dirty_pages keeps looping, sleeping and then waking up the
worker who will do nothing. It remains stuck in this state until the few
dirty pages that we have finally expire and we write them back for that
reason. Then the whole process repeats, resulting in near-zero throughput
through the FUSE BDI.

The fix is to call the parameterized variant of wb_calc_thresh, so that the
worker will do writeback if the bg_thresh is exceeded which was the
behavior before the referenced commit.

Al Viro 84e710da2a parallel lookups machinery, part 2
We'll need to verify that there's neither a hashed nor in-lookup
dentry with desired parent/name before adding to in-lookup set.

One possible solution would be to hold the parent's ->d_lock through
both checks, but while the in-lookup set is relatively small at any
time, dcache is not.  And holding the parent's ->d_lock through
something like __d_lookup_rcu() would suck too badly.

So we leave the parent's ->d_lock alone, which means that we watch
out for the following scenario:
	* we verify that there's no hashed match
	* existing in-lookup match gets hashed by another process
	* we verify that there's no in-lookup matches and decide
that everything's fine.

Solution: per-directory kinda-sorta seqlock, bumped around the times
we hash something that used to be in-lookup or move (and hash)
something in place of in-lookup.  Then the above would turn into
	* read the counter
	* do dcache lookup
	* if no matches found, check for in-lookup matches
	* if there had been none of those either, check if the
counter has changed; repeat if it has.

The "kinda-sorta" part is due to the fact that we don't have much spare
space in inode.  There is a spare word (shared with i_bdev/i_cdev/i_pipe),
so the counter part is not a problem, but spinlock is a different story.

We could use the parent's ->d_lock, and it would be less painful in
terms of contention, for __d_add() it would be rather inconvenient to
grab; we could do that (using lock_parent()), but...

Fortunately, we can get serialization on the counter itself, and it
might be a good idea in general; we can use cmpxchg() in a loop to
get from even to odd and smp_store_release() from odd to even.

This commit adds the counter and updating logics; the readers will be
added in the next commit.

Vlastimil Babka fd901c9538 mm: wake kcompactd before kswapd's short sleep
When kswapd goes to sleep it checks if the node is balanced and at first
it sleeps only for HZ/10 time, then rechecks if the node is still
balanced and nobody has woken it during the initial sleep.  Only then it
goes fully sleep until an allocation slowpath wakes it up again.

For higher-order allocations, waking up kcompactd is done only before
the full sleep.  This turns out to be an issue in case another
high-order allocation fails during the initial sleep.  It will wake
kswapd up, however kswapd considers the zone balanced from the order-0
perspective, and will just quickly try to sleep again.  So if there's a
longer stream of high-order allocations hitting the slowpath and waking
up kswapd, it might never actually wake up kcompactd, which may be
considered a regression from kswapd-based compaction.  In the worst
case, it might be that a single allocation that cannot direct
reclaim/compact itself is waking kswapd in the retry loop and preventing
kcompactd from being woken up and unblocking it.

This patch makes sure kcompactd is woken up in such situations by simply
moving the wakeup before the short initial sleep.  More efficient
solution would be to wake kcompactd immediately instead of kswapd if the
node is already order-0 balanced, but in that case we should also move
reset_isolation_suitable() call to kcompactd so it's not adding to the
allocator's latency.  Since it's late in the 4.6 cycle, let's go with
the simpler change for now.

Gerald Schaefer 28093f9f34 numa: fix /proc/<pid>/numa_maps for THP
In gather_pte_stats() a THP pmd is cast into a pte, which is wrong
because the layouts may differ depending on the architecture.  On s390
this will lead to inaccurate numa_maps accounting in /proc because of
misguided pte_present() and pte_dirty() checks on the fake pte.

On other architectures pte_present() and pte_dirty() may work by chance,
but there may be an issue with direct-access (dax) mappings w/o
underlying struct pages when HAVE_PTE_SPECIAL is set and THP is
available.  In vm_normal_page() the fake pte will be checked with
pte_special() and because there is no "special" bit in a pmd, this will
always return false and the VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP checking will be
skipped.  On dax mappings w/o struct pages, an invalid struct page
pointer would then be returned that can crash the kernel.

This patch fixes the numa_maps THP handling by introducing new "_pmd"
variants of the can_gather_numa_stats() and vm_normal_page() functions.

Tejun Heo 264a0ae164 memcg: relocate charge moving from ->attach to ->post_attach
Hello,

So, this ended up a lot simpler than I originally expected.  I tested
it lightly and it seems to work fine.  Petr, can you please test these
two patches w/o the lru drain drop patch and see whether the problem
is gone?

Thanks.
------ 8< ------
If charge moving is used, memcg performs relabeling of the affected
pages from its ->attach callback which is called under both
cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem and thus can't create new kthreads.  This is
fragile as various operations may depend on workqueues making forward
progress which relies on the ability to create new kthreads.

There's no reason to perform charge moving from ->attach which is deep
in the task migration path.  Move it to ->post_attach which is called
after the actual migration is finished and cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem is
dropped.

* move_charge_struct->mm is added and ->can_attach is now responsible
  for pinning and recording the target mm.  mem_cgroup_clear_mc() is
  updated accordingly.  This also simplifies mem_cgroup_move_task().

* mem_cgroup_move_task() is now called from ->post_attach instead of
  ->attach.

Linus Torvalds 2e57259913 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "A few fixes for the current series. This contains:

   - Two fixes for NVMe:

     One fixes a reset race that can be triggered by repeated
     insert/removal of the module.

     The other fixes an issue on some platforms, where we get probe
     timeouts since legacy interrupts isn't working.  This used not to
     be a problem since we had the worker thread poll for completions,
     but since that was killed off, it means those poor souls can't
     successfully probe their NVMe device.  Use a proper IRQ check and
     probe (msi-x -> msi ->legacy), like most other drivers to work
     around this.  Both from Keith.

   - A loop corruption issue with offset in iters, from Ming Lei.

   - A fix for not having the partition stat per cpu ref count
     initialized before sending out the KOBJ_ADD, which could cause user
     space to access the counter prior to initialization.  Also from
     Ming Lei.

   - A fix for using the wrong congestion state, from Kaixu Xia"

Ingo Molnar c12d2da56d mm/gup: Remove the macro overload API migration helpers from the get_user*() APIs
The pkeys changes brought about a truly hideous set of macros in:

  cde70140fe ("mm/gup: Overload get_user_pages() functions")

... which macros are (ab-)using the fact that __VA_ARGS__ can be used
to shift parameter positions in macro arguments without breaking the
build and so can be used to call separate C functions depending on
the number of arguments of the macro.

This allowed easy migration of these 3 GUP APIs, as both these variants
worked at the C level:

  old:
	ret = get_user_pages(current, current->mm, address, 1, 1, 0, &page, NULL);

  new:
	ret = get_user_pages(address, 1, 1, 0, &page, NULL);

... while we also generated a (functionally harmless but noticeable) build
time warning if the old API was used. As there are over 300 uses of these
APIs, this trick eased the migration of the API and avoided excessive
migration pain in linux-next.

Now, with its work done, get rid of all of that complication and ugliness:

    3 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 140 deletions(-)

... where the linecount of the migration hack was further inflated by the
fact that there are NOMMU variants of these GUP APIs as well.

Much of the conversion was done in linux-next over the past couple of months,
and Linus recently removed all remaining old API uses from the upstream tree
in the following upstrea commit:

  cb107161df ("Convert straggling drivers to new six-argument get_user_pages()")

There was one more old-API usage in mm/gup.c, in the CONFIG_HAVE_GENERIC_RCU_GUP
code path that ARM, ARM64 and PowerPC uses.

After this commit any old API usage will break the build.

[ Also fixed a PowerPC/HAVE_GENERIC_RCU_GUP warning reported by Stephen Rothwell. ]

Linus Torvalds 4a2d057e4f Merge branch 'PAGE_CACHE_SIZE-removal'
Merge PAGE_CACHE_SIZE removal patches from Kirill Shutemov:
 "PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
  ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
  cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

  This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

  Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
  not.

  The first patch with most changes has been done with coccinelle.  The
  second is manual fixups on top.

  The third patch removes macros definition"

[ I was planning to apply this just before rc2, but then I spaced out,
  so here it is right _after_ rc2 instead.

  As Kirill suggested as a possibility, I could have decided to only
  merge the first two patches, and leave the old interfaces for
  compatibility, but I'd rather get it all done and any out-of-tree
  modules and patches can trivially do the converstion while still also
  working with older kernels, so there is little reason to try to
  maintain the redundant legacy model.    - Linus ]

* PAGE_CACHE_SIZE-removal:
  mm: drop PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} definition
  mm, fs: remove remaining PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} usage

Kirill A. Shutemov 09cbfeaf1a mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.
