Currently we can have compound pages held on per cpu pagevecs, which
leads to a lot of memory unavailable for reclaim when needed. In the
systems with hundreads of processors it can be GBs of memory.
On of the way of reproducing the problem is to not call munmap
explicitly on all mapped regions (i.e. after receiving SIGTERM). After
that some pages (with THP enabled also huge pages) may end up on
lru_add_pvec, example below.
void main() {
#pragma omp parallel
{
size_t size = 55 * 1000 * 1000; // smaller than MEM/CPUS
void *p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS , -1, 0);
if (p != MAP_FAILED)
memset(p, 0, size);
//munmap(p, size); // uncomment to make the problem go away
}
}
When we run it with THP enabled it will leave significant amount of
memory on lru_add_pvec. This memory will be not reclaimed if we hit
OOM, so when we run above program in a loop:
for i in `seq 100`; do ./a.out; done
many processes (95% in my case) will be killed by OOM.
The primary point of the LRU add cache is to save the zone lru_lock
contention with a hope that more pages will belong to the same zone and
so their addition can be batched. The huge page is already a form of
batched addition (it will add 512 worth of memory in one go) so skipping
the batching seems like a safer option when compared to a potential
excess in the caching which can be quite large and much harder to fix
because lru_add_drain_all is way to expensive and it is not really clear
what would be a good moment to call it.
Similarly we can reproduce the problem on lru_deactivate_pvec by adding:
madvise(p, size, MADV_FREE); after memset.
This patch flushes lru pvecs on compound page arrival making the problem
less severe - after applying it kill rate of above example drops to 0%,
due to reducing maximum amount of memory held on pvec from 28MB (with
THP) to 56kB per CPU.

We account HugeTLB's shared page table to all processes who share it.
The accounting happens during huge_pmd_share().
If somebody populates pud entry under us, we should decrease pagetable's
refcount and decrease nr_pmds of the process.
By mistake, I increase nr_pmds again in this case. :-/ It will lead to
"BUG: non-zero nr_pmds on freeing mm: 2" on process' exit.
Let's fix this by increasing nr_pmds only when we're sure that the page
table will be used.

Commit d0164adc89 ("mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable
to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd") modified
__GFP_WAIT to explicitly identify the difference between atomic callers
and those that were unwilling to sleep. Later the definition was
removed entirely.
The GFP_RECLAIM_MASK is the set of flags that affect watermark checking
and reclaim behaviour but __GFP_ATOMIC was never added. Without it,
atomic users of the slab allocator strip the __GFP_ATOMIC flag and
cannot access the page allocator atomic reserves. This patch addresses
the problem.
The user-visible impact depends on the workload but potentially atomic
allocations unnecessarily fail without this path.

Currently we may put reserved by mempool elements into quarantine via
kasan_kfree(). This is totally wrong since quarantine may really free
these objects. So when mempool will try to use such element,
use-after-free will happen. Or mempool may decide that it no longer
need that element and double-free it.
So don't put object into quarantine in kasan_kfree(), just poison it.
Rename kasan_kfree() to kasan_poison_kfree() to respect that.
Also, we shouldn't use kasan_slab_alloc()/kasan_krealloc() in
kasan_unpoison_element() because those functions may update allocation
stacktrace. This would be wrong for the most of the remove_element call
sites.
(The only call site where we may want to update alloc stacktrace is
in mempool_alloc(). Kmemleak solves this by calling
kmemleak_update_trace(), so we could make something like that too.
But this is out of scope of this patch).

jbd2_alloc is explicit about its allocation preferences wrt. the
allocation size. Sub page allocations go to the slab allocator and
larger are using either the page allocator or vmalloc. This is all good
but the logic is unnecessarily complex.
1) as per Ted, the vmalloc fallback is a left-over:
: jbd2_alloc is only passed in the bh->b_size, which can't be PAGE_SIZE, so
: the code path that calls vmalloc() should never get called. When we
: conveted jbd2_alloc() to suppor sub-page size allocations in commit
: d2eecb0393, there was an assumption that it could be called with a size
: greater than PAGE_SIZE, but that's certaily not true today.
Moreover vmalloc allocation might even lead to a deadlock because the
callers expect GFP_NOFS context while vmalloc is GFP_KERNEL.
2) __GFP_REPEAT for requests <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER is ignored
since the flag was introduced.
Let's simplify the code flow and use the slab allocator for sub-page
requests and the page allocator for others. Even though order > 0 is
not currently used as per above leave that option open.

This is the third version of the patchset previously sent [1]. I have
basically only rebased it on top of 4.7-rc1 tree and dropped "dm: get
rid of superfluous gfp flags" which went through dm tree. I am sending
it now because it is tree wide and chances for conflicts are reduced
considerably when we want to target rc2. I plan to send the next step
and rename the flag and move to a better semantic later during this
release cycle so we will have a new semantic ready for 4.8 merge window
hopefully.
Motivation:
While working on something unrelated I've checked the current usage of
__GFP_REPEAT in the tree. It seems that a majority of the usage is and
always has been bogus because __GFP_REPEAT has always been about costly
high order allocations while we are using it for order-0 or very small
orders very often. It seems that a big pile of them is just a
copy&paste when a code has been adopted from one arch to another.
I think it makes some sense to get rid of them because they are just
making the semantic more unclear. Please note that GFP_REPEAT is
documented as
* __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt
* _might_ fail. This depends upon the particular VM implementation.
while !costly requests have basically nofail semantic. So one could
reasonably expect that order-0 request with __GFP_REPEAT will not loop
for ever. This is not implemented right now though.
I would like to move on with __GFP_REPEAT and define a better semantic
for it.
$ git grep __GFP_REPEAT origin/master | wc -l
111
$ git grep __GFP_REPEAT | wc -l
36
So we are down to the third after this patch series. The remaining
places really seem to be relying on __GFP_REPEAT due to large allocation
requests. This still needs some double checking which I will do later
after all the simple ones are sorted out.
I am touching a lot of arch specific code here and I hope I got it right
but as a matter of fact I even didn't compile test for some archs as I
do not have cross compiler for them. Patches should be quite trivial to
review for stupid compile mistakes though. The tricky parts are usually
hidden by macro definitions and thats where I would appreciate help from
arch maintainers.

around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. Yet we
have the full kernel tree with its usage for apparently order-0
allocations. This is really confusing because __GFP_REPEAT is
explicitly documented to allow allocation failures which is a weaker
semantic than the current order-0 has (basically nofail).
Let's simply drop __GFP_REPEAT from those places. This would allow to
identify place which really need allocator to retry harder and formulate
a more specific semantic for what the flag is supposed to do actually.

When fallocate is interrupted it will undo a range that extends one byte
past its range of allocated pages. This can corrupt an in-use page by
zeroing out its first byte. Instead, undo using the inclusive byte
range.

Since commit 36324a990c ("oom: clear TIF_MEMDIE after oom_reaper
managed to unmap the address space") changed to use find_lock_task_mm()
for finding a mm_struct to reap, it is guaranteed that mm->mm_users > 0
because find_lock_task_mm() returns a task_struct with ->mm != NULL.
Therefore, we can safely use atomic_inc().

UBIFS is using PagePrivate() which can have different meanings across
filesystems. Therefore the generic page migration code cannot handle this
case correctly.
We have to implement our own migration function which basically does a
plain copy but also duplicates the page private flag.
UBIFS is not a block device filesystem and cannot use buffer_migrate_page().

recover_peb() was never power cut aware,
if a power cut happened right after writing the VID header
upon next attach UBI would blindly use the new partial written
PEB and all data from the old PEB is lost.
In order to make recover_peb() power cut aware, write the new
VID with a proper crc and copy_flag set such that the UBI attach
process will detect whether the new PEB is completely written
or not.
We cannot directly use ubi_eba_atomic_leb_change() since we'd
have to unlock the LEB which is facing a write error.

("gpio: bail out silently on NULL descriptors")
doesn't work for gpiod_to_irq(): drivers assume that NULL
descriptors will give negative IRQ numbers in return.
It has been pointed out that returning 0 is NO_IRQ and that
drivers should be amended to treat this as an error, but that
is for the longer term: now let us repair the semantics.
