This patch also defines a suitable flush_icache_all implementation
which would otherwise be missing, resulting in a link failure.

Hugh Dickins ecbec53b1d drm/i915: more struct_mutex locking
When auditing the locking in i915_gem.c (for a prospective change which
I then abandoned), I noticed two places where struct_mutex is not held
across GEM object manipulations that would usually require it.

Since one is in initial setup and the other in driver unload, I'm
guessing the mutex is not required for either; but post a patch in case
it is.

Hugh Dickins e2377fe0b6 drm/i915: use shmem_truncate_range
The interface to ->truncate_range is changing very slightly: once "tmpfs:
take control of its truncate_range" has been applied, this can be applied.
 For now there is only a slight inefficiency while this remains unapplied,
but it will soon become essential for managing shmem's use of swap.

Change i915_gem_object_truncate() to use shmem_truncate_range() directly:
which should also spare i915 later change if we switch from
inode_operations->truncate_range to file_operations->fallocate.

Hugh Dickins 5949eac4d9 drm/i915: use shmem_read_mapping_page
Soon tmpfs will stop supporting ->readpage and read_cache_page_gfp(): once
"tmpfs: add shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp" has been applied, this patch can
be applied to ease the transition.

Make i915_gem_object_get_pages_gtt() use shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() in
the one place it's needed; elsewhere use shmem_read_mapping_page(), with
the mapping's gfp_mask properly initialized.

Forget about __GFP_COLD: since tmpfs initializes its pages with memset,
asking for a cold page is counter-productive.

Include linux/shmem_fs.h also in drm_gem.c: with shmem_file_setup() now
declared there too, we shall remove the prototype from linux/mm.h later.

Ralf Baechle 1fc6e987d8 drivers/misc/ioc4.c: fix section mismatch / race condition
Fix this section mismatch:

  WARNING: drivers/misc/ioc4.o(.data+0x144): Section mismatch in reference from the variable ioc4_load_modules_work to the function .devinit.text:ioc4_load_modules()
  The variable ioc4_load_modules_work references
  the function __devinit ioc4_load_modules()
  If the reference is valid then annotate the
  variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
  *driver, *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console

This one is potentially fatal; by the time ioc4_load_modules is invoked
it may already have been freed.  For that reason ioc4_load_modules_work
can't be turned to __devinitdata but also because it's referenced in
ioc4_exit.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki ac34a1a3c3 memcg: fix direct softlimit reclaim to be called in limit path
Commit d149e3b25d ("memcg: add the soft_limit reclaim in global direct
reclaim") adds a softlimit hook to shrink_zones().  By this, soft limit
is called as

   try_to_free_pages()
       do_try_to_free_pages()
           shrink_zones()
               mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim()

Then, direct reclaim is memcg softlimit hint aware, now.

But, the memory cgroup's "limit" path can call softlimit shrinker.

   try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages()
       do_try_to_free_pages()
           shrink_zones()
               mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim()

This will cause a global reclaim when a memcg hits limit.

This is bug. soft_limit_reclaim() should be called when
scanning_global_lru(sc) == true.

And the commit adds a variable "total_scanned" for counting softlimit
scanned pages....it's not "total".  This patch removes the variable and
update sc->nr_scanned instead of it.  This will affect shrink_slab()'s
scan condition but, global LRU is scanned by softlimit and I think this
change makes sense.

TODO: avoid too much scanning of a zone when softlimit did enough work.

Vasiliy Kulikov 26c4caea9d taskstats: don't allow duplicate entries in listener mode
Currently a single process may register exit handlers unlimited times.
It may lead to a bloated listeners chain and very slow process
terminations.

Eg after 10KK sent TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_REGISTER_CPUMASKs ~300 Mb of
kernel memory is stolen for the handlers chain and "time id" shows 2-7
seconds instead of normal 0.003.  It makes it possible to exhaust all
kernel memory and to eat much of CPU time by triggerring numerous exits
on a single CPU.

The patch limits the number of times a single process may register
itself on a single CPU to one.

One little issue is kept unfixed - as taskstats_exit() is called before
exit_files() in do_exit(), the orphaned listener entry (if it was not
explicitly deregistered) is kept until the next someone's exit() and
implicit deregistration in send_cpu_listeners().  So, if a process
registered itself as a listener exits and the next spawned process gets
the same pid, it would inherit taskstats attributes.

Jan Kara 08142579b6 mm: fix assertion mapping->nrpages == 0 in end_writeback()
Under heavy memory and filesystem load, users observe the assertion
mapping->nrpages == 0 in end_writeback() trigger.  This can be caused by
page reclaim reclaiming the last page from a mapping in the following
race:

	CPU0				CPU1
  ...
  shrink_page_list()
    __remove_mapping()
      __delete_from_page_cache()
        radix_tree_delete()
					evict_inode()
					  truncate_inode_pages()
					    truncate_inode_pages_range()
					      pagevec_lookup() - finds nothing
					  end_writeback()
					    mapping->nrpages != 0 -> BUG
        page->mapping = NULL
        mapping->nrpages--

Fix the problem by doing a reliable check of mapping->nrpages under
mapping->tree_lock in end_writeback().

Hugh Dickins d9d90e5eb7 tmpfs: add shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp
Although it is used (by i915) on nothing but tmpfs, read_cache_page_gfp()
is unsuited to tmpfs, because it inserts a page into pagecache before
calling the filesystem's ->readpage: tmpfs may have pages in swapcache
which only it knows how to locate and switch to filecache.

At present tmpfs provides a ->readpage method, and copes with this by
copying pages; but soon we can simplify it by removing its ->readpage.
Provide shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() now, ready for that transition,

Export shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() and add it to list in shmem_fs.h,
with shmem_read_mapping_page() inline for the common mapping_gfp case.

(shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp or shmem_read_cache_page_gfp? Generally the
read_mapping_page functions use the mapping's ->readpage, and the
read_cache_page functions use the supplied filler, so I think
read_cache_page_gfp was slightly misnamed.)

its file truncation, no longer enforced from outside by vmtruncate().
We shall want to build upon that, to handle pagecache and swap together.

Slightly redefine the ->truncate_range interface: let it now be called
between the unmap_mapping_range()s, with the filesystem responsible for
doing the truncate_inode_pages_range() from it - just as the filesystem
is nowadays responsible for doing that from its ->setattr.

Let's rename shmem_notify_change() to shmem_setattr().  Instead of
calling the generic truncate_setsize(), bring that code in so we can
call shmem_truncate_range() - which will later be updated to perform its
own variant of truncate_inode_pages_range().

Remove the punch_hole unmap_mapping_range() from shmem_truncate_range():
now that the COW's unmap_mapping_range() comes after ->truncate_range,
there is no need to call it a third time.

Export shmem_truncate_range() and add it to the list in shmem_fs.h, so
that i915_gem_object_truncate() can call it explicitly in future; get
this patch in first, then update drm/i915 once this is available (until
then, i915 will just be doing the truncate_inode_pages() twice).

Though introduced five years ago, no other filesystem is implementing
->truncate_range, and its only other user is madvise(,,MADV_REMOVE): we
expect to convert it to fallocate(,FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE,,) shortly,
whereupon ->truncate_range can be removed from inode_operations -
shmem_truncate_range() will help i915 across that transition too.
