alloc_bootmem_section() derives allocation area constraints from the
specified sparsemem section. This is a bit specific for a generic memory
allocator like bootmem, though, so move it over to sparsemem.
As __alloc_bootmem_node_nopanic() already retries failed allocations with
relaxed area constraints, the fallback code in sparsemem.c can be removed
and the code becomes a bit more compact overall.

When bootmem releases an unaligned BITS_PER_LONG pages chunk of memory
to the page allocator, it checks the bitmap if there are still
unreserved pages in the chunk (set bits), but also if the offset in the
chunk indicates BITS_PER_LONG loop iterations already.
But since the consulted bitmap is only a one-word-excerpt of the full
per-node bitmap, there can not be more than BITS_PER_LONG bits set in
it. The additional offset check is unnecessary.

When bootmem releases an unaligned chunk of memory at the beginning of a
node to the page allocator, it iterates from that unaligned PFN but
checks an aligned word of the page bitmap. The checked bits do not
correspond to the PFNs and, as a result, reserved pages can be freed.
Properly shift the bitmap word so that the lowest bit corresponds to the
starting PFN before entering the freeing loop.
This bug has been around since commit 41546c1741 ("bootmem: clean up
free_all_bootmem_core") (2.6.27) without known reports.

This patch introduces macro BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALID() for such checks, it
forces a compilation error if expression is invalid without any extra

The rmap walker checking page table references has historically ignored
references from VMAs that were not part of the memcg that was being
reclaimed during memcg hard limit reclaim.
When transitioning global reclaim to memcg hierarchy reclaim, I missed
that bit and now references from outside a memcg are ignored even during
global reclaim.
Reverting back to traditional behaviour - count all references during
global reclaim and only mind references of the memcg being reclaimed
during limit reclaim would be one option.
However, the more generic idea is to ignore references exactly then when
they are outside the hierarchy that is currently under reclaim; because
only then will their reclamation be of any use to help the pressure
situation. It makes no sense to ignore references from a sibling memcg
and then evict a page that will be immediately refaulted by that sibling
which contributes to the same usage of the common ancestor under
reclaim.
The solution: make the rmap walker ignore references from VMAs that are
not part of the hierarchy that is being reclaimed.
Flat limit reclaim will stay the same, hierarchical limit reclaim will
mind the references only to pages that the hierarchy owns. Global
reclaim, since it reclaims from all memcgs, will be fixed to regard all
references.

While running an application that moves tasks from one cpuset to another
I noticed that it takes much longer and moves many more pages than
expected.
The reason for this is do_migrate_pages() does its best to preserve the
relative node differential from the first node of the cpuset because the
application may have been written with that in mind. If memory was
interleaved on the nodes of the source cpuset by an application
do_migrate_pages() will try its best to maintain that interleaving on
the nodes of the destination cpuset. This means copying the memory from
all source nodes to the destination nodes even if the source and
destination nodes overlap.
This is a problem for userspace NUMA placement tools. The amount of
time spent doing extra memory moves cancels out some of the NUMA
performance improvements. Furthermore, if the number of source and
destination nodes are to maintain the previous interleaving layout
anyway.
This patch changes do_migrate_pages() to only preserve the relative
layout inside the program if the number of NUMA nodes in the source and
destination mask are the same. If the number is different, we do a much
more efficient migration by not touching memory that is in an allowed
node.
This preserves the old behaviour for programs that want it, while
allowing a userspace NUMA placement tool to use the new, faster
migration. This improves performance in our tests by up to a factor of
7.
Without this change migrating tasks from a cpuset containing nodes 0-7
to a cpuset containing nodes 3-4, we migrate from ALL the nodes even if
they are in the both the source and destination nodesets:
Migrating 7 to 4
Migrating 6 to 3
Migrating 5 to 4
Migrating 4 to 3
Migrating 1 to 4
Migrating 3 to 4
Migrating 0 to 3
Migrating 2 to 3
With this change we only migrate from nodes that are not in the
destination nodesets:
Migrating 7 to 4
Migrating 6 to 3
Migrating 5 to 4
Migrating 2 to 3
Migrating 1 to 4
Migrating 0 to 3
Yet if we move from a cpuset containing nodes 2,3,4 to a cpuset
containing 3,4,5 we still do move everything so that we preserve the
desired NUMA offsets:
Migrating 4 to 5
Migrating 3 to 4
Migrating 2 to 3
As far as performance is concerned this simple patch improves the time
it takes to move 14, 20 and 26 large tasks from a cpuset containing
nodes 0-7 to a cpuset containing nodes 1 & 3 by up to a factor of 7.

On COW, a new hugepage is allocated and charged to the memcg. If the
system is oom or the charge to the memcg fails, however, the fault
handler will return VM_FAULT_OOM which results in an oom kill.
Instead, it's possible to fallback to splitting the hugepage so that the
COW results only in an order-0 page being allocated and charged to the
memcg which has a higher liklihood to succeed. This is expensive
because the hugepage must be split in the page fault handler, but it is
much better than unnecessarily oom killing a process.

The vma length in dup_mmap is calculated and stored in a unsigned int,
which is insufficient and hence overflows for very large maps (beyond
16TB). The following program demonstrates this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#define GIG 1024 * 1024 * 1024L
#define EXTENT 16393
int main(void)
{
int i, r;
void *m;
char buf[1024];
for (i = 0; i < EXTENT; i++) {
m = mmap(NULL, (size_t) 1 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024L,
PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0);
if (m == (void *)-1)
printf("MMAP Failed: %d\n", m);
else
printf("%d : MMAP returned %p\n", i, m);
r = fork();
if (r == 0) {
printf("%d: successed\n", i);
return 0;
} else if (r < 0)
printf("FORK Failed: %d\n", r);
else if (r > 0)
wait(NULL);
}
return 0;
}
Increase the storage size of the result to unsigned long, which is
sufficient for storing the difference between addresses.

The "if (mm)" check is not required in find_vma, as the kernel code
calls find_vma only when it is absolutely sure that the mm_struct arg to
it is non-NULL.
Remove the if(mm) check and adding the a WARN_ONCE(!mm) for now. This
will serve the purpose of mandating that the execution
context(user-mode/kernel-mode) be known before find_vma is called. Also
fixed 2 checkpatch.pl errors in the declaration of the rb_node and
vma_tmp local variables.
I was browsing through the internet and read a discussion at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/27/342 which discusses removal of the
validation check within find_vma. Since no-one responded, I decided to
send this patch with Andrew's suggestions.

The advantage of kcalloc is, that will prevent integer overflows which
could result from the multiplication of number of elements and size and
it is also a bit nicer to read.

/sys/devices/system/node/{online,possible} outputs a garbage byte
because print_nodes_state() returns content size + 1. To fix the bug,
the patch changes the use of cpuset_sprintf_cpulist to follow the use at
other places, which is clearer and safer.
This bug was introduced in v2.6.24 (commit bde631a51876: "mm: add node

There is little motiviation for reclaim_mode_t once RECLAIM_MODE_[A]SYNC
and lumpy reclaim have been removed. This patch gets rid of
reclaim_mode_t as well and improves the documentation about what

This patch stops reclaim/compaction entering sync reclaim as this was
only intended for lumpy reclaim and an oversight. Page migration has
its own logic for stalling on writeback pages if necessary and memory
compaction is already using it.
Waiting on page writeback is bad for a number of reasons but the primary
one is that waiting on writeback to a slow device like USB can take a
considerable length of time. Page reclaim instead uses
wait_iff_congested() to throttle if too many dirty pages are being
scanned.

This series removes lumpy reclaim and some stalling logic that was
unintentionally being used by memory compaction. The end result is that
stalling on dirty pages during page reclaim now depends on
wait_iff_congested().
Four kernels were compared
3.3.0 vanilla
3.4.0-rc2 vanilla
3.4.0-rc2 lumpyremove-v2 is patch one from this series
3.4.0-rc2 nosync-v2r3 is the full series
Removing lumpy reclaim saves almost 900 bytes of text whereas the full
series removes 1200 bytes.

There are behaviour changes in the series and so tests were run with
monitoring of ftrace events. This disrupts results so the performance
results are distorted but the new behaviour should be clearer.
fs-mark running in a threaded configuration showed little of interest as
it did not push reclaim aggressively

It looks like here that the full series regresses performance but as
ftrace showed no usage of wait_iff_congested() or sync reclaim I am
assuming it's a disruption due to monitoring. Other data such as memory
usage, page IO, swap IO all looked similar.
Running a benchmark with a plain DD showed nothing very interesting.
The full series stalled in wait_iff_congested() slightly less but stall
times on vanilla kernels were marginal.
Running a benchmark that hammered on file-backed mappings showed stalls
due to congestion but not in sync writebacks

Reclaim statistics are not radically changed. The stall times in kswapd
are massive but it is clear that it is due to calls to congestion_wait()
and that is almost certainly the call in balance_pgdat(). Otherwise
stalls due to dirty pages are non-existant.
I ran a benchmark that stressed high-order allocation. This is very
artifical load but was used in the past to evaluate lumpy reclaim and
compaction. Generally I look at allocation success rates and latency
figures.

Success rates are completely hosed for 3.4-rc2 which is almost certainly
due to commit fe2c2a1066 ("vmscan: reclaim at order 0 when compaction
is enabled"). I expected this would happen for kswapd and impair
allocation success rates (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/25/166) but I did
not anticipate this much a difference: 80% less scanning, 37% less
reclaim by kswapd
In comparison, reclaim/compaction is not aggressive and gives up easily
which is the intended behaviour. hugetlbfs uses __GFP_REPEAT and would
be much more aggressive about reclaim/compaction than THP allocations
are. The stress test above is allocating like neither THP or hugetlbfs
but is much closer to THP.
Mainline is now impaired in terms of high order allocation under heavy
load although I do not know to what degree as I did not test with
__GFP_REPEAT. Keep this in mind for bugs related to hugepage pool
resizing, THP allocation and high order atomic allocation failures from
network devices.
In terms of congestion throttling, I see the following for this test
FTrace Reclaim Statistics: congestion_wait
Direct number congest waited 3 0 0 0
Direct time congest waited 0ms 0ms 0ms 0ms
Direct full congest waited 0 0 0 0
Direct number conditional waited 957 512 1081 1075
Direct time conditional waited 0ms 0ms 0ms 0ms
Direct full conditional waited 0 0 0 0
KSwapd number congest waited 36 4 3 5
KSwapd time congest waited 3148ms 400ms 300ms 500ms
KSwapd full congest waited 30 4 3 5
KSwapd number conditional waited 88514 197 332 542
KSwapd time conditional waited 4980ms 0ms 0ms 0ms
KSwapd full conditional waited 49 0 0 0
The "conditional waited" times are the most interesting as this is
directly impacted by the number of dirty pages encountered during scan.
As lumpy reclaim is no longer scanning contiguous ranges, it is finding
fewer dirty pages. This brings wait times from about 5 seconds to 0.
kswapd itself is still calling congestion_wait() so it'll still stall but
it's a lot less.
In terms of the type of IO we were doing, I see this
FTrace Reclaim Statistics: mm_vmscan_writepage
Direct writes anon sync 0 0 0 0
Direct writes anon async 0 0 0 0
Direct writes file sync 0 0 0 0
Direct writes file async 0 0 0 0
Direct writes mixed sync 0 0 0 0
Direct writes mixed async 0 0 0 0
KSwapd writes anon sync 0 0 0 0
KSwapd writes anon async 91682 0 0 0
KSwapd writes file sync 0 0 0 0
KSwapd writes file async 822629 0 0 0
KSwapd writes mixed sync 0 0 0 0
KSwapd writes mixed async 0 0 0 0
In 3.2, kswapd was doing a bunch of async writes of pages but
reclaim/compaction was never reaching a point where it was doing sync
IO. This does not guarantee that reclaim/compaction was not calling
wait_on_page_writeback() but I would consider it unlikely. It indicates
that merging patches 2 and 3 to stop reclaim/compaction calling
wait_on_page_writeback() should be safe.
This patch:
Lumpy reclaim had a purpose but in the mind of some, it was to kick the
system so hard it trashed. For others the purpose was to complicate
vmscan.c. Over time it was giving softer shoes and a nicer attitude but
memory compaction needs to step up and replace it so this patch sends
lumpy reclaim to the farm.
The tracepoint format changes for isolating LRU pages with this patch
applied. Furthermore reclaim/compaction can no longer queue dirty pages
in pageout() if the underlying BDI is congested. Lumpy reclaim used
this logic and reclaim/compaction was using it in error.

The swap token code no longer fits in with the current VM model. It
does not play well with cgroups or the better NUMA placement code in
development, since we have only one swap token globally.
It also has the potential to mess with scalability of the system, by
increasing the number of non-reclaimable pages on the active and
inactive anon LRU lists.
Last but not least, the swap token code has been broken for a year
without complaints, as reported by Konstantin Khlebnikov. This suggests
we no longer have much use for it.
The days of sub-1G memory systems with heavy use of swap are over. If
we ever need thrashing reducing code in the future, we will have to
implement something that does scale.

The transparent hugepages feature is careful to not invoke the oom
killer when a hugepage cannot be allocated.
pte_alloc_one() failing in __do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page(), however,
currently results in VM_FAULT_OOM which invokes the pagefault oom killer
to kill a memory-hogging task.
This is unnecessary since it's possible to drop the reference to the
hugepage and fallback to allocating a small page.

Commit f56f821feb ("mm: extend prefault helpers to fault in more than
PAGE_SIZE") added in the new functions: fault_in_multipages_writeable()
and fault_in_multipages_readable().
However, we currently see:
include/linux/pagemap.h:492: warning: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this function
include/linux/pagemap.h:492: note: 'ret' was declared here
Unlike a lot of gcc nags, this one appears somewhat legit. i.e. passing
in an invalid negative value of "size" does make it look like all the
conditionals in there would be bypassed and the uninitialized value would
be returned.

The ptmx_open path takes the tty and devpts locks in the wrong order
because tty_init_dev locks and returns a locked tty. As far as I can
tell this is actually safe anyway because the tty being returned is new
so nobody can get a reference to lock it at this point.
However we don't even need the devpts lock at this point, it's only held
as a byproduct of the way the locks were pushe down.
