Konstantin Khlebnikov d1bfcdb8ce mm: hide per-cpu lists in output of show_mem()
This makes show_mem() much less verbose on huge machines.  Instead of huge
and almost useless dump of counters for each per-zone per-cpu lists this
patch prints the sum of these counters for each zone (free_pcp) and size
of per-cpu list for current cpu (local_pcp).

The filter flag SHOW_MEM_PERCPU_LISTS reverts to the old verbose mode.

Konstantin Khlebnikov b9ea25152e page_writeback: clean up mess around cancel_dirty_page()
This patch replaces cancel_dirty_page() with a helper function
account_page_cleaned() which only updates counters.  It's called from
truncate_complete_page() and from try_to_free_buffers() (hack for ext3).
Page is locked in both cases, page-lock protects against concurrent
dirtiers: see commit 2d6d7f9828 ("mm: protect set_page_dirty() from
ongoing truncation").

Delete_from_page_cache() shouldn't be called for dirty pages, they must
be handled by caller (either written or truncated).  This patch treats
final dirty accounting fixup at the end of __delete_from_page_cache() as
a debug check and adds WARN_ON_ONCE() around it.  If something removes
dirty pages without proper handling that might be a bug and unwritten
data might be lost.

Hugetlbfs has no dirty pages accounting, ClearPageDirty() is enough
here.

cancel_dirty_page() in nfs_wb_page_cancel() is redundant.  This is
helper for nfs_invalidate_page() and it's called only in case complete
invalidation.

The mess was started in v2.6.20 after commits 46d2277c79 ("Clean up
and make try_to_free_buffers() not race with dirty pages") and
3e67c0987d ("truncate: clear page dirtiness before running
try_to_free_buffers()") first was reverted right in v2.6.20 in commit
ecdfc9787f ("Resurrect 'try_to_free_buffers()' VM hackery"), second in
v2.6.25 commit a2b345642f ("Fix dirty page accounting leak with ext3
data=journal").

Custom fixes were introduced between these points.  NFS in v2.6.23, commit
1b3b4a1a2d ("NFS: Fix a write request leak in nfs_invalidate_page()").
Kludge in __delete_from_page_cache() in v2.6.24, commit 3a6927906f ("Do
dirty page accounting when removing a page from the page cache").  Since
v2.6.25 all of them are redundant.

Ebru Akagunduz ca0984caa8 mm: incorporate zero pages into transparent huge pages
This patch improves THP collapse rates, by allowing zero pages.

Currently THP can collapse 4kB pages into a THP when there are up to
khugepaged_max_ptes_none pte_none ptes in a 2MB range.  This patch counts
pte none and mapped zero pages with the same variable.

The patch was tested with a program that allocates 800MB of
memory, and performs interleaved reads and writes, in a pattern
that causes some 2MB areas to first see read accesses, resulting
in the zero pfn being mapped there.

To simulate memory fragmentation at allocation time, I modified
do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page to return VM_FAULT_FALLBACK for read faults.

Without the patch, only %50 of the program was collapsed into THP and the
percentage did not increase over time.

With this patch after 10 minutes of waiting khugepaged had collapsed %99
of the program's memory.

Joonsoo Kim 2149cdaef6 mm/compaction: enhance compaction finish condition
Compaction has anti fragmentation algorithm.  It is that freepage should
be more than pageblock order to finish the compaction if we don't find any
freepage in requested migratetype buddy list.  This is for mitigating
fragmentation, but, there is a lack of migratetype consideration and it is
too excessive compared to page allocator's anti fragmentation algorithm.

Not considering migratetype would cause premature finish of compaction.
For example, if allocation request is for unmovable migratetype, freepage
with CMA migratetype doesn't help that allocation and compaction should
not be stopped.  But, current logic regards this situation as compaction
is no longer needed, so finish the compaction.

Secondly, condition is too excessive compared to page allocator's logic.
We can steal freepage from other migratetype and change pageblock
migratetype on more relaxed conditions in page allocator.  This is
designed to prevent fragmentation and we can use it here.  Imposing hard
constraint only to the compaction doesn't help much in this case since
page allocator would cause fragmentation again.

To solve these problems, this patch borrows anti fragmentation logic from
page allocator.  It will reduce premature compaction finish in some cases
and reduce excessive compaction work.

stress-highalloc test in mmtests with non movable order 7 allocation shows
considerable increase of compaction success rate.

Compaction success rate (Compaction success * 100 / Compaction stalls, %)
31.82 : 42.20

I tested it on non-reboot 5 runs stress-highalloc benchmark and found that
there is no more degradation on allocation success rate than before.  That
roughly means that this patch doesn't result in more fragmentations.

Vlastimil suggests additional idea that we only test for fallbacks when
migration scanner has scanned a whole pageblock.  It looked good for
fragmentation because chance of stealing increase due to making more free
pages in certain pageblock.  So, I tested it, but, it results in decreased
compaction success rate, roughly 38.00.  I guess the reason that if system
is low memory condition, watermark check could be failed due to not enough
order 0 free page and so, sometimes, we can't reach a fallback check
although migrate_pfn is aligned to pageblock_nr_pages.  I can insert code
to cope with this situation but it makes code more complicated so I don't
include his idea at this patch.

Joonsoo Kim 4eb7dce620 mm/page_alloc: factor out fallback freepage checking

Joonsoo Kim dc67647b78 mm/cma: change fallback behaviour for CMA freepage
Freepage with MIGRATE_CMA can be used only for MIGRATE_MOVABLE and they
should not be expanded to other migratetype buddy list to protect them
from unmovable/reclaimable allocation.  Implementing these requirements in
__rmqueue_fallback(), that is, finding largest possible block of freepage
has bad effect that high order freepage with MIGRATE_CMA are broken
continually although there are suitable order CMA freepage.  Reason is
that they are not be expanded to other migratetype buddy list and next
__rmqueue_fallback() invocation try to finds another largest block of
freepage and break it again.  So, MIGRATE_CMA fallback should be handled
separately.  This patch introduces __rmqueue_cma_fallback(), that just
wrapper of __rmqueue_smallest() and call it before __rmqueue_fallback() if
migratetype == MIGRATE_MOVABLE.

This results in unintended behaviour change that MIGRATE_CMA freepage is
always used first rather than other migratetype as movable allocation's
fallback.  But, as already mentioned above, MIGRATE_CMA can be used only
for MIGRATE_MOVABLE, so it is better to use MIGRATE_CMA freepage first as
much as possible.  Otherwise, we needlessly take up precious freepages
with other migratetype and increase chance of fragmentation.

David Rientjes 30467e0b3b mm, hotplug: fix concurrent memory hot-add deadlock
There's a deadlock when concurrently hot-adding memory through the probe
interface and switching a memory block from offline to online.

When hot-adding memory via the probe interface, add_memory() first takes
mem_hotplug_begin() and then device_lock() is later taken when registering
the newly initialized memory block.  This creates a lock dependency of (1)
mem_hotplug.lock (2) dev->mutex.

When switching a memory block from offline to online, dev->mutex is first
grabbed in device_online() when the write(2) transitions an existing
memory block from offline to online, and then online_pages() will take
mem_hotplug_begin().

This creates a lock inversion between mem_hotplug.lock and dev->mutex.
Vitaly reports that this deadlock can happen when kworker handling a probe
event races with systemd-udevd switching a memory block's state.

This patch requires the state transition to take mem_hotplug_begin()
before dev->mutex.  Hot-adding memory via the probe interface creates a
memory block while holding mem_hotplug_begin(), there is no way to take
dev->mutex first in this case.

online_pages() and offline_pages() are only called when transitioning
memory block state.  We now require that mem_hotplug_begin() is taken
before calling them -- this requires exporting the mem_hotplug_begin() and
mem_hotplug_done() to generic code.  In all hot-add and hot-remove cases,
mem_hotplug_begin() is done prior to device_online().  This is all that is
needed to avoid the deadlock.

This small patchset exposes some information out to userspace, plus adds

This patch (of 3):

Implement a simple debugfs interface to expose information about CMA areas
in the system.

Useful for testing/sanity checks for CMA since it was impossible to
previously retrieve this information in userspace.

Al Viro b2edffdd91 fix mremap() vs. ioctx_kill() race
teach ->mremap() method to return an error and have it fail for
aio mappings in process of being killed

Note that in case of ->mremap() failure we need to undo move_page_tables()
we'd already done; we could call ->mremap() first, but then the failure of
move_page_tables() would require undoing whatever _successful_ ->mremap()
has done, which would be a lot more headache in general.

Mel Gorman b7b04004ec mm: numa: mark huge PTEs young when clearing NUMA hinting faults
Base PTEs are marked young when the NUMA hinting information is cleared
but the same does not happen for huge pages which this patch addresses.

Note that migrated pages are not marked young as the base page migration
code does not assume that migrated pages have been referenced.  This
could be addressed but beyond the scope of this series which is aimed at
Dave Chinners shrink workload that is unlikely to be affected by this
issue.

Mel Gorman 074c238177 mm: numa: slow PTE scan rate if migration failures occur
Dave Chinner reported the following on https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/1/226

  Across the board the 4.0-rc1 numbers are much slower, and the degradation
  is far worse when using the large memory footprint configs. Perf points
  straight at the cause - this is from 4.0-rc1 on the "-o bhash=101073" config:

                 generic_exec_single
                 smp_call_function_single

This is showing excessive migration activity even though excessive
migrations are meant to get throttled.  Normally, the scan rate is tuned
on a per-task basis depending on the locality of faults.  However, if
migrations fail for any reason then the PTE scanner may scan faster if
the faults continue to be remote.  This means there is higher system CPU
overhead and fault trapping at exactly the time we know that migrations
cannot happen.  This patch tracks when migration failures occur and
slows the PTE scanner.

Mel Gorman b191f9b106 mm: numa: preserve PTE write permissions across a NUMA hinting fault
Protecting a PTE to trap a NUMA hinting fault clears the writable bit
and further faults are needed after trapping a NUMA hinting fault to set
the writable bit again.  This patch preserves the writable bit when
trapping NUMA hinting faults.  The impact is obvious from the number of
minor faults trapped during the basis balancing benchmark and the system
CPU usage;

There is a similar drop in system CPU usage using Dave Chinner's xfsrepair
workload

  Amean    syst-xfsrepair      277.20 (  0.00%)      204.68 ( 26.16%)

The patch looks hacky but the alternatives looked worse.  The tidest was
to rewalk the page tables after a hinting fault but it was more complex
than this approach and the performance was worse.  It's not generally
safe to just mark the page writable during the fault if it's a write
fault as it may have been read-only for COW so that approach was
discarded.

Mel Gorman bea66fbd11 mm: numa: group related processes based on VMA flags instead of page table flags
These are three follow-on patches based on the xfsrepair workload Dave
Chinner reported was problematic in 4.0-rc1 due to changes in page table
management -- https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/1/226.

Much of the problem was reduced by commit 53da3bc2ba ("mm: fix up numa
read-only thread grouping logic") and commit ba68bc0115 ("mm: thp:
Return the correct value for change_huge_pmd").  It was known that the
performance in 3.19 was still better even if is far less safe.  This
series aims to restore the performance without compromising on safety.

For the test of this mail, I'm comparing 3.19 against 4.0-rc4 and the
three patches applied on top

Overall the system CPU usage is comparable and the test is naturally a
bit variable.  The slowing of the scanner hurts numa01 but on this
machine it is an adverse workload and patches that dramatically help it
often hurt absolutely everything else.

Due to patch 2, the fault activity is interesting

Here the impact of slowing the PTE scanner on migratrion failures is
obvious as "NUMA base PTE updates" and "NUMA huge PMD updates" are
massively reduced even though the headline performance is very similar.

As xfsrepair was the reported workload here is the impact of the series
on it.

The really relevant lines as syst-xfsrepair which is the system CPU
usage when running xfsrepair.  Note that on my machine the overhead was
45% higher on 4.0-rc4 which may be part of what Dave is seeing.  Once we
preserve the write bit across faults, it's only 2.51% higher on average.
With the full series applied, system CPU usage is 24.6% lower on
average.

Again, the impact of preserving the write bit on minor faults is obvious
and the impact of slowing scanning after migration failures is obvious
on the PTE updates.  Note also that the number of pages migrated is much
reduced even though the headline performance is comparable.

FWIW, I also checked SPECjbb in different configurations but it's
similar observations -- minor faults lower, PTE update activity lower
and performance is roughly comparable against 3.19.

This patch (of 3):

Threads that share writable data within pages are grouped together as
related tasks.  This decision is based on whether the PTE is marked
dirty which is subject to timing races between the PTE scanner update
and when the application writes the page.  If the page is file-backed,
then background flushes and sync also affect placement.  This is
unpredictable behaviour which is impossible to reason about so this
patch makes grouping decisions based on the VMA flags.

Laura Abbott cfa8694382 mm/page_alloc.c: call kernel_map_pages in unset_migrateype_isolate
Commit 3c605096d3 ("mm/page_alloc: restrict max order of merging on
isolated pageblock") changed the logic of unset_migratetype_isolate to
check the buddy allocator and explicitly call __free_pages to merge.

The page that is being freed in this path never had prep_new_page called
so set_page_refcounted is called explicitly but there is no call to
kernel_map_pages.  With the default kernel_map_pages this is mostly
harmless but if kernel_map_pages does any manipulation of the page
tables (unmapping or setting pages to read only) this may trigger a
fault:

    alloc_contig_range test_pages_isolated(ceb00, ced00) failed

Mark Rutland 859b7a0e89 mm/slub: fix lockups on PREEMPT && !SMP kernels
Commit 9aabf810a6 ("mm/slub: optimize alloc/free fastpath by removing
preemption on/off") introduced an occasional hang for kernels built with
CONFIG_PREEMPT && !CONFIG_SMP.

The problem is the following loop the patch introduced to
slab_alloc_node and slab_free:

    do {
        tid = this_cpu_read(s->cpu_slab->tid);
        c = raw_cpu_ptr(s->cpu_slab);
    } while (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PREEMPT) && unlikely(tid != c->tid));

GCC 4.9 has been observed to hoist the load of c and c->tid above the
loop for !SMP kernels (as in this case raw_cpu_ptr(x) is compile-time
constant and does not force a reload).  On arm64 the generated assembly
looks like:

         ldr     x4, [x0,#8]
  loop:
         ldr     x1, [x0,#8]
         cmp     x1, x4
         b.ne    loop

If the thread is preempted between the load of c->tid (into x1) and tid
(into x4), and an allocation or free occurs in another thread (bumping
the cpu_slab's tid), the thread will be stuck in the loop until
s->cpu_slab->tid wraps, which may be forever in the absence of
allocations/frees on the same CPU.

This patch changes the loop condition to access c->tid with READ_ONCE.
This ensures that the value is reloaded even when the compiler would
otherwise assume it could cache the value, and also ensures that the
load will not be torn.

The cause is the "memset(pgdat, 0, sizeof(*pgdat))" at the end of
try_offline_node, which will reset all the content of pgdat to 0, as the
pgdat is accessed lock-free, so that the users still using the pgdat
will panic, such as the vmstat_update routine.

process A:				offline node XX:

vmstat_updat()
   refresh_cpu_vm_stats()
     for_each_populated_zone()
       find online node XX
     cond_resched()
					offline cpu and memory, then try_offline_node()
					node_set_offline(nid), and memset(pgdat, 0, sizeof(*pgdat))
       zone = next_zone(zone)
         pg_data_t *pgdat = zone->zone_pgdat;  // here pgdat is NULL now
           next_online_pgdat(pgdat)
             next_online_node(pgdat->node_id);  // NULL pointer access

So the solution here is postponing the reset of obsolete pgdat from
try_offline_node() to hotadd_new_pgdat(), and just resetting
pgdat->nr_zones and pgdat->classzone_idx to be 0 rather than the memset
0 to avoid breaking pointer information in pgdat.

Naoya Horiguchi f683739539 mm/pagewalk.c: prevent positive return value of walk_page_test() from being passed to callers
walk_page_test() is purely pagewalk's internal stuff, and its positive
return values are not intended to be passed to the callers of pagewalk.

However, in the current code if the last vma in the do-while loop in
walk_page_range() happens to return a positive value, it leaks outside
walk_page_range().  So the user visible effect is invalid/unexpected
return value (according to the reporter, mbind() causes it.)

This patch fixes it simply by reinitializing the return value after
checked.

Another exposed interface, walk_page_vma(), already returns 0 for such
cases so no problem.

Leon Yu 3fe89b3e2a mm: fix anon_vma->degree underflow in anon_vma endless growing prevention
I have constantly stumbled upon "kernel BUG at mm/rmap.c:399!" after
upgrading to 3.19 and had no luck with 4.0-rc1 neither.

So, after looking into new logic introduced by commit 7a3ef208e6 ("mm:
prevent endless growth of anon_vma hierarchy"), I found chances are that
unlink_anon_vmas() is called without incrementing dst->anon_vma->degree
in anon_vma_clone() due to allocation failure.  If dst->anon_vma is not
NULL in error path, its degree will be incorrectly decremented in
unlink_anon_vmas() and eventually underflow when exiting as a result of
another call to unlink_anon_vmas().  That's how "kernel BUG at
mm/rmap.c:399!" is triggered for me.

This patch fixes the underflow by dropping dst->anon_vma when allocation
fails.  It's safe to do so regardless of original value of dst->anon_vma
because dst->anon_vma doesn't have valid meaning if anon_vma_clone()
fails.  Besides, callers don't care dst->anon_vma in such case neither.

Also suggested by Michal Hocko, we can clean up vma_adjust() a bit as
anon_vma_clone() now does the work.

Tejun Heo c72efb658f writeback: fix possible underflow in write bandwidth calculation
From 1ebf33901ecc75d9496862dceb1ef0377980587c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

2f800fbd77 ("writeback: fix dirtied pages accounting on redirty")
introduced account_page_redirty() which reverts stat updates for a
redirtied page, making BDI_DIRTIED no longer monotonically increasing.

bdi_update_write_bandwidth() uses the delta in BDI_DIRTIED as the
basis for bandwidth calculation.  While unlikely, since the above
patch, the newer value may be lower than the recorded past value and
underflow the bandwidth calculation leading to a wild result.

Fix it by subtracing min of the old and new values when calculating
delta.  AFAIK, there hasn't been any report of it happening but the
resulting erratic behavior would be non-critical and temporary, so
it's possible that the issue is happening without being reported.  The
risk of the fix is very low, so tagged for -stable.

If the memory cgroup controller is initially mounted in the scope of the
default cgroup hierarchy and then remounted to a legacy hierarchy, it will
still have hierarchy support enabled, which is incorrect.  We should
disable hierarchy support if bound to the legacy cgroup hierarchy.

Jeff Vander Stoep a5a6579db3 mm: reorder can_do_mlock to fix audit denial
A userspace call to mmap(MAP_LOCKED) may result in the successful locking
of memory while also producing a confusing audit log denial.  can_do_mlock
checks capable and rlimit.  If either of these return positive
can_do_mlock returns true.  The capable check leads to an LSM hook used by
apparmour and selinux which produce the audit denial.  Reordering so
rlimit is checked first eliminates the denial on success, only recording a
denial when the lock is unsuccessful as a result of the denial.

Andrey Ryabinin a5af5aa8b6 kasan, module, vmalloc: rework shadow allocation for modules
Current approach in handling shadow memory for modules is broken.

Shadow memory could be freed only after memory shadow corresponds it is no
longer used.  vfree() called from interrupt context could use memory its
freeing to store 'struct llist_node' in it:

    void vfree(const void *addr)
    {
    ...
        if (unlikely(in_interrupt())) {
            struct vfree_deferred *p = this_cpu_ptr(&vfree_deferred);
            if (llist_add((struct llist_node *)addr, &p->list))
                    schedule_work(&p->wq);

Later this list node used in free_work() which actually frees memory.
Currently module_memfree() called in interrupt context will free shadow
before freeing module's memory which could provoke kernel crash.

So shadow memory should be freed after module's memory.  However, such
deallocation order could race with kasan_module_alloc() in module_alloc().

Free shadow right before releasing vm area.  At this point vfree()'d
memory is not used anymore and yet not available for other allocations.
New VM_KASAN flag used to indicate that vm area has dynamically allocated
shadow memory so kasan frees shadow only if it was previously allocated.

Danesh Petigara 850fc430f4 mm: cma: fix CMA aligned offset calculation
The CMA aligned offset calculation is incorrect for non-zero order_per_bit
values.

For example, if cma->order_per_bit=1, cma->base_pfn= 0x2f800000 and
align_order=12, the function returns a value of 0x17c00 instead of 0x400.

This patch fixes the CMA aligned offset calculation.

The previous calculation was wrong and would return too-large values for
the offset, so that when cma_alloc looks for free pages in the bitmap with
the requested alignment > order_per_bit, it starts too far into the bitmap
and so CMA allocations will fail despite there actually being plenty of
free pages remaining.  It will also probably have the wrong alignment.
With this change, we will get the correct offset into the bitmap.

One affected user is powerpc KVM, which has kvm_cma->order_per_bit set to
KVM_CMA_CHUNK_ORDER - PAGE_SHIFT, or 18 - 12 = 6.

David Rientjes 44fc80573c mm, hugetlb: close race when setting PageTail for gigantic pages
Now that gigantic pages are dynamically allocatable, care must be taken to
ensure that p->first_page is valid before setting PageTail.

If this isn't done, then it is possible to race and have compound_head()
return NULL.

Michal Hocko e009d5dc0a mm, oom: do not fail __GFP_NOFAIL allocation if oom killer is disabled
Tetsuo Handa has pointed out that __GFP_NOFAIL allocations might fail
after OOM killer is disabled if the allocation is performed by a kernel
thread.  This behavior was introduced from the very beginning by
7f33d49a2e ("mm, PM/Freezer: Disable OOM killer when tasks are frozen").
 This means that the basic contract for the allocation request is broken
and the context requesting such an allocation might blow up unexpectedly.

There are basically two ways forward.

1) move oom_killer_disable after kernel threads are frozen.  This has a
   risk that the OOM victim wouldn't be able to finish because it would
   depend on an already frozen kernel thread.  This would be really tricky
   to debug.

2) do not fail GFP_NOFAIL allocation no matter what and risk a
   potential Freezable kernel threads will loop and fail the suspend.
   Incidental allocations after kernel threads are frozen will at least
   dump a warning - if we are lucky and the serial console is still active
   of course...

This patch implements the later option because it is safer.  We would see
warning rather than allocation failures for the kernel threads which would
blow up otherwise and have a higher chances to identify __GFP_NOFAIL users
from deeper pm code.

Linus Torvalds 53da3bc2ba mm: fix up numa read-only thread grouping logic
Dave Chinner reported that commit 4d94246699 ("mm: convert
p[te|md]_mknonnuma and remaining page table manipulations") slowed down
his xfsrepair test enormously.  In particular, it was using more system
time due to extra TLB flushing.

The ultimate reason turns out to be how the change to use the regular
page table accessor functions broke the NUMA grouping logic.  The old
special mknuma/mknonnuma code accessed the page table present bit and
the magic NUMA bit directly, while the new code just changes the page
protections using PROT_NONE and the regular vma protections.

That sounds equivalent, and from a fault standpoint it really is, but a
subtle side effect is that the *other* protection bits of the page table
entries also change.  And the code to decide how to group the NUMA
entries together used the writable bit to decide whether a particular
page was likely to be shared read-only or not.

And with the change to make the NUMA handling use the regular permission
setting functions, that writable bit was basically always cleared for
private mappings due to COW.  So even if the page actually ends up being
written to in the end, the NUMA balancing would act as if it was always
shared RO.

This code is a heuristic anyway, so the fix - at least for now - is to
instead check whether the page is dirty rather than writable.  The bit
doesn't change with protection changes.

NOTE! This also adds a FIXME comment to revisit this issue,

Not only should we probably re-visit the whole "is this a shared
read-only page" heuristic (we might want to take the vma permissions
into account and base this more on those than the per-page ones, and
also look at whether the particular access that triggers it is a write
or not), but the whole COW issue shows that we should think about the
NUMA fault handling some more.

For example, maybe we should do the early-COW thing that a regular fault
does.  Or maybe we should accept that while using the same bits as
PROTNONE was a good thing (and got rid of the specual NUMA bit), we
might still want to just preseve the other protection bits across NUMA
faulting.

Those are bigger questions, left for later.  This just fixes up the
heuristic so that it at least approximates working again.  More analysis
and work needed.
