 "Here's the powerpc batch for this merge window.  It is going to be a
  bit more nasty than usual as in touching things outside of
  arch/powerpc mostly due to the big iSeriesectomy :-) We finally got
  rid of the bugger (legacy iSeries support) which was a PITA to
  maintain and that nobody really used anymore.

  Here are some of the highlights:

   - Legacy iSeries is gone.  Thanks Stephen ! There's still some bits
     and pieces remaining if you do a grep -ir series arch/powerpc but
     they are harmless and will be removed in the next few weeks
     hopefully.

   - The 'fadump' functionality (Firmware Assisted Dump) replaces the
     previous (equivalent) "pHyp assisted dump"...  it's a rewrite of a
     mechanism to get the hypervisor to do crash dumps on pSeries, the
     new implementation hopefully being much more reliable.  Thanks
     Mahesh Salgaonkar.

   - The "EEH" code (pSeries PCI error handling & recovery) got a big
     spring cleaning, motivated by the need to be able to implement a
     new backend for it on top of some new different type of firwmare.

     The work isn't complete yet, but a good chunk of the cleanups is
     there.  Note that this adds a field to struct device_node which is
     not very nice and which Grant objects to.  I will have a patch soon
     that moves that to a powerpc private data structure (hopefully
     before rc1) and we'll improve things further later on (hopefully
     getting rid of the need for that pointer completely).  Thanks Gavin
     Shan.

   - I dug into our exception & interrupt handling code to improve the
     way we do lazy interrupt handling (and make it work properly with
     "edge" triggered interrupt sources), and while at it found & fixed
     a wagon of issues in those areas, including adding support for page
     fault retry & fatal signals on page faults.

   - Your usual random batch of small fixes & updates, including a bunch
     of new embedded boards, both Freescale and APM based ones, etc..."

memcg: fix performance of mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()

mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() should be very fast because it's
called very frequently.  Now, it needs to look up page_cgroup and its
memcg....this is slow.

This patch adds a global variable to check "any memcg is moving or not".
With this, the caller doesn't need to visit page_cgroup and memcg.

Here is a test result.  A test program makes page faults onto a file,
MAP_SHARED and makes each page's page_mapcount(page) > 1, and free the
range by madvise() and page fault again.  This program causes 26214400
times of page fault onto a file(size was 1G.) and shows shows the cost of
mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat().

Before this patch for mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()

    [kamezawa@bluextal test]$ time ./mmap 1G

    real    0m21.765s
    user    0m5.999s

     2.83%     mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat

    real    0m21.373s
    user    0m6.113s
    sys     0m15.016s

In usual path, calls to __mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() goes away.

Note: we may be able to remove this optimization in future if
      we can get pointer to memcg directly from struct page.

memcg: use new logic for page stat accounting

Now, page-stat-per-memcg is recorded into per page_cgroup flag by
duplicating page's status into the flag.  The reason is that memcg has a
feature to move a page from a group to another group and we have race
between "move" and "page stat accounting",

Under current logic, assume CPU-A and CPU-B.  CPU-A does "move" and CPU-B
does "page stat accounting".

When CPU-A goes 1st,

            CPU-A                           CPU-B
                                    update "struct page" info.
    move_lock_mem_cgroup(memcg)
    see pc->flags
    copy page stat to new group
    overwrite pc->mem_cgroup.
    move_unlock_mem_cgroup(memcg)
                                    move_lock_mem_cgroup(mem)
                                    set pc->flags
                                    update page stat accounting
                                    move_unlock_mem_cgroup(mem)

stat accounting is guarded by move_lock_mem_cgroup() and "move" logic
(CPU-A) doesn't see changes in "struct page" information.

But it's costly to have the same information both in 'struct page' and
'struct page_cgroup'.  And, there is a potential problem.

For example, assume we have PG_dirty accounting in memcg.
PG_..is a flag for struct page.
PCG_ is a flag for struct page_cgroup.
(This is just an example. The same problem can be found in any
 kind of page stat accounting.)

  CPU-A                               CPU-B
      TestSet PG_dirty
      (delay)                        TestClear PG_dirty
                                     if (TestClear(PCG_dirty))
                                          memcg->nr_dirty--
      if (TestSet(PCG_dirty))
          memcg->nr_dirty++

Here, memcg->nr_dirty = +1, this is wrong.  This race was reported by Greg
Thelen <gthelen@google.com>.  Now, only FILE_MAPPED is supported but
fortunately, it's serialized by page table lock and this is not real bug,
_now_,

If this potential problem is caused by having duplicated information in
struct page and struct page_cgroup, we may be able to fix this by using
original 'struct page' information.  But we'll have a problem in "move
account"

Assume we use only PG_dirty.

         CPU-A                   CPU-B
    TestSet PG_dirty

accounting information may be double-counted.  This was original reason to
have PCG_xxx flags but it seems PCG_xxx has another problem.

I think we need a bigger lock as

     move_lock_mem_cgroup(page)
     TestSetPageDirty(page)
     update page stats (without any checks)
     move_unlock_mem_cgroup(page)

This fixes both of problems and we don't have to duplicate page flag into
page_cgroup.  Please note: move_lock_mem_cgroup() is held only when there
are possibility of "account move" under the system.  So, in most path,
status update will go without atomic locks.

This patch introduces mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() and
mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat() both should be called at modifying
'struct page' information if memcg takes care of it.  as

     mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()
     modify page information
     mem_cgroup_update_page_stat()
     => never check any 'struct page' info, just update counters.
     mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat().

This patch is slow because we need to call begin_update_page_stat()/
end_update_page_stat() regardless of accounted will be changed or not.  A
following patch adds an easy optimization and reduces the cost.

memcg: remove PCG_MOVE_LOCK flag from page_cgroup

PCG_MOVE_LOCK is used for bit spinlock to avoid race between overwriting
pc->mem_cgroup and page statistics accounting per memcg.  This lock helps
to avoid the race but the race is very rare because moving tasks between
cgroup is not a usual job.  So, it seems using 1bit per page is too
costly.

This patch changes this lock as per-memcg spinlock and removes
PCG_MOVE_LOCK.

If smaller lock is required, we'll be able to add some hashes but I'd like
to start from this.

memcg: simplify move_account() check

In memcg, for avoiding take-lock-irq-off at accessing page_cgroup, a
logic, flag + rcu_read_lock(), is used.  This works as following

     CPU-A                     CPU-B
                             rcu_read_lock()
    set flag
                             if(flag is set)
                                   take heavy lock
                             do job.
    synchronize_rcu()        rcu_read_unlock()
    take heavy lock.

In recent discussion, it's argued that using per-cpu value for this flag
just complicates the code because 'set flag' is very rare.

This patch changes 'flag' implementation from percpu to atomic_t.  This
will be much simpler.

memcg: remove PCG_CACHE page_cgroup flag

We record 'the page is cache' with the PCG_CACHE bit in page_cgroup.
Here, "CACHE" means anonymous user pages (and SwapCache).  This doesn't
include shmem.

Considering callers, at charge/uncharge, the caller should know what the
page is and we don't need to record it by using one bit per page.

This patch removes PCG_CACHE bit and make callers of
mem_cgroup_charge_statistics() to specify what the page is.

About page migration: Mapping of the used page is not touched during migra
tion (see page_remove_rmap) so we can rely on it and push the correct
charge type down to __mem_cgroup_uncharge_common from end_migration for
unused page.  The force flag was misleading was abused for skipping the
needless page_mapped() / PageCgroupMigration() check, as we know the
unused page is no longer mapped and cleared the migration flag just a few
lines up.  But doing the checks is no biggie and it's not worth adding
another flag just to skip them.

RECLAIM_MODE_ASYNC.  (sync/async sign is used only in shrink_page_list

Currenly shrink_active_list() sometimes works in lumpy-reclaim mode, if
RECLAIM_MODE_LUMPYRECLAIM is left over from an earlier
shrink_inactive_list().  Meanwhile, in age_active_anon()

complex and confusing, and this looks like bug.

In general, shrink_active_list() populates the inactive list for the
next shrink_inactive_list().  Lumpy shring_inactive_list() isolates
pages around the chosen one from both the active and inactive lists.
So, there is no reason for lumpy isolation in shrink_active_list().

general quota handling code, and they don't much resemble its behaviour.
Rather than being about maintaining limits on on-disk block usage by
particular users, they are instead about maintaining limits on in-memory
page usage (including anonymous MAP_PRIVATE copied-on-write pages)
associated with a particular hugetlbfs filesystem instance.

Worse, they work by having callbacks to the hugetlbfs filesystem code from
the low-level page handling code, in particular from free_huge_page().
This is a layering violation of itself, but more importantly, if the
kernel does a get_user_pages() on hugepages (which can happen from KVM
amongst others), then the free_huge_page() can be delayed until after the
associated inode has already been freed.  If an unmount occurs at the
wrong time, even the hugetlbfs superblock where the "quota" limits are
stored may have been freed.

Andrew Barry proposed a patch to fix this by having hugepages, instead of
storing a pointer to their address_space and reaching the superblock from
there, had the hugepages store pointers directly to the superblock,
bumping the reference count as appropriate to avoid it being freed.
Andrew Morton rejected that version, however, on the grounds that it made
the existing layering violation worse.

This is a reworked version of Andrew's patch, which removes the extra, and
some of the existing, layering violation.  It works by introducing the
concept of a hugepage "subpool" at the lower hugepage mm layer - that is a
finite logical pool of hugepages to allocate from.  hugetlbfs now creates
a subpool for each filesystem instance with a page limit set, and a
pointer to the subpool gets added to each allocated hugepage, instead of
the address_space pointer used now.  The subpool has its own lifetime and
is only freed once all pages in it _and_ all other references to it (i.e.
superblocks) are gone.

subpools are optional - a NULL subpool pointer is taken by the code to
mean that no subpool limits are in effect.

Previous discussion of this bug found in:  "Fix refcounting in hugetlbfs
quota handling.". See:  https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/11/28 or
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=126928970510627&w=1

v2: Fixed a bug spotted by Hillf Danton, and removed the extra parameter to
alloc_huge_page() - since it already takes the vma, it is not necessary.

hugetlb: cleanup hugetlb.h

Make a couple of small cleanups to linux/include/hugetlb.h.  The
set_file_hugepages() function, which was not used anywhere is removed,
and the hugetlbfs_config and hugetlbfs_inode_info structures with its
HUGETLBFS_I helper function are moved into inode.c, the only place they
were used.

These structures are really linked to the hugetlbfs filesystem
specifically not to hugepage mm handling in general, so they belong in
the filesystem code not in a generally available header.

It would be nice to move the hugetlbfs_sb_info (superblock) structure in
there as well, but it's currently needed in a number of places via the
hstate_vma() and hstate_inode().

cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3

Commit c0ff7453bb5c ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when
changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of
memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit.

[get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory
barriers inserted into a number of hot paths.  This was detected while
investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time
after 2.6.32.  The largest portion of this overhead was shown by
oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page
allocator hot path.

For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an
implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex.

This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write
sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path
side.  This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86.  The
main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a
manner that can cause a false failure.

While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure
is a risk.  If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel
allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place.

In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from
__alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%.  The
actual results were

    Total Elapsed Time (seconds)                123.46    120.87

The overall improvement is small but the System CPU time is much
improved and roughly in correlation to what oprofile reported (these
performance figures are without profiling so skew is expected).  The
actual number of page faults is noticeably improved.

For benchmarks like kernel builds, the overall benefit is marginal but
the system CPU time is slightly reduced.

To test the actual bug the commit fixed I opened two terminals.  The
first ran within a cpuset and continually ran a small program that
faulted 100M of anonymous data.  In a second window, the nodemask of the
cpuset was continually randomised in a loop.

Without the commit, the program would fail every so often (usually
within 10 seconds) and obviously with the commit everything worked fine.
With this patch applied, it also worked fine so the fix should be
functionally equivalent.

mm, memcg: pass charge order to oom killer

The oom killer typically displays the allocation order at the time of oom
as a part of its diangostic messages (for global, cpuset, and mempolicy
ooms).

The memory controller may also pass the charge order to the oom killer so
it can emit the same information.  This is useful in determining how large
the memory allocation is that triggered the oom killer.

mm: use global_dirty_limit in throttle_vm_writeout()

When starting a memory hog task, a desktop box w/o swap is found to go
unresponsive for a long time.  It's solely caused by lots of congestion
waits in throttle_vm_writeout():

 gnome-system-mo-4201 553.073384: congestion_wait: throttle_vm_writeout+0x70/0x7f shrink_mem_cgroup_zone+0x48f/0x4a1
 gnome-system-mo-4201 553.073386: writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=100000
           gtali-4237 553.080377: congestion_wait: throttle_vm_writeout+0x70/0x7f shrink_mem_cgroup_zone+0x48f/0x4a1
           gtali-4237 553.080378: writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=100000
            Xorg-3483 553.103375: congestion_wait: throttle_vm_writeout+0x70/0x7f shrink_mem_cgroup_zone+0x48f/0x4a1
            Xorg-3483 553.103377: writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=100000

The root cause is, the dirty threshold is knocked down a lot by the memory
hog task.  Fixed by using global_dirty_limit which decreases gradually on
such events and can guarantee we stay above (the also decreasing) nr_dirty
in the progress of following down to the new dirty threshold.

hugetlbfs: avoid taking i_mutex from hugetlbfs_read()

Taking i_mutex in hugetlbfs_read() can result in deadlock with mmap as
explained below

 Thread A:
  read() on hugetlbfs
   hugetlbfs_read() called
    i_mutex grabbed
     hugetlbfs_read_actor() called
      __copy_to_user() called
       page fault is triggered
 Thread B, sharing address space with A:
  mmap() the same file
   ->mmap_sem is grabbed on task_B->mm->mmap_sem
    hugetlbfs_file_mmap() is called
     attempt to grab ->i_mutex and block waiting for A to give it up
 Thread A:
  pagefault handled blocked on attempt to grab task_A->mm->mmap_sem,
 which happens to be the same thing as task_B->mm->mmap_sem.  Block waiting
 for B to give it up.

AFAIU the i_mutex locking was added to hugetlbfs_read() as per
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0707.2/3066.html to take
care of the race between truncate and read.  This patch fixes this by
looking at page->mapping under lock_page() (find_lock_page()) to ensure
that the inode didn't get truncated in the range during a parallel read.

Ideally we can extend the patch to make sure we don't increase i_size in
mmap.  But that will break userspace, because applications will now have
to use truncate(2) to increase i_size in hugetlbfs.

Based on the original patch from Hillf Danton.

bootmem/sparsemem: remove limit constraint in alloc_bootmem_section

While testing AMS (Active Memory Sharing) / CMO (Cooperative Memory

  [c000000000c03f90] c000000000009670 .start_here_common+0x1c/0x2c

This is

        BUG_ON(limit && goal + size > limit);

and after some debugging, it seems that

goal = 0x7ffff000000
limit = 0x80000000000

and sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_node ->
sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_pgdat_section calls

return alloc_bootmem_section(usemap_size() * count, section_nr);

This is on a system with 8TB available via the AMS pool, and as a quirk
of AMS in firmware, all of that memory shows up in node 0.  So, we end
up with an allocation that will fail the goal/limit constraints.

In theory, we could "fall-back" to alloc_bootmem_node() in
sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_node(), but since we actually have HOTREMOVE
defined, we'll BUG_ON() instead.  A simple solution appears to be to
unconditionally remove the limit condition in alloc_bootmem_section,
meaning allocations are allowed to cross section boundaries (necessary
for systems of this size).

Johannes Weiner pointed out that if alloc_bootmem_section() no longer
guarantees section-locality, we need check_usemap_section_nr() to print
possible cross-dependencies between node descriptors and the usemaps
allocated through it.  That makes the two loops in
sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_node() identical, so re-factor the code a
bit.

mm: drain percpu lru add/rotate page-vectors on cpu hot-unplug

This cpu hotplug hook was accidentally removed in commit 00a62ce91e55
("mm: fix Committed_AS underflow on large NR_CPUS environment")

The visible effect of this accident: some pages are borrowed in per-cpu
page-vectors.  Truncate can deal with it, but these pages cannot be
reused while this cpu is offline.  So this is like a temporary memory

mm: fix move/migrate_pages() race on task struct

Migration functions perform the rcu_read_unlock too early.  As a result
the task pointed to may change from under us.  This can result in an oops,
as reported by Dave Hansen in https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/23/302.

The following patch extend the period of the rcu_read_lock until after the
permissions checks are done.  We also take a refcount so that the task
reference is stable when calling security check functions and performing
cpuset node validation (which takes a mutex).

The refcount is dropped before actual page migration occurs so there is no
change to the refcounts held during page migration.

Also move the determination of the mm of the task struct to immediately
before the do_migrate*() calls so that it is clear that we switch from
handling the task during permission checks to the mm for the actual
migration.  Since the determination is only done once and we then no
longer use the task_struct we can be sure that we operate on a specific
address space that will not change from under us.

thp: allow a hwpoisoned head page to be put back to LRU

Andrea Arcangeli pointed out to me that a check in __memory_failure()
which was intended to prevent THP tail pages from being checked for the
absence of the PG_lru flag (something that is always the case), was also
preventing THP head pages from being checked.

A THP head page could actually benefit from the call to shake_page() by
ending up being put back to a LRU, provided it had been waiting in a
pagevec array.

Andrea suggested that the "!PageTransCompound(p)" in the if-statement
should be replaced by a "!PageTransTail(p)", thus allowing THP head pages
to be checked and possibly shaken.

tmpfs: security xattr setting on inode creation

Adds to generic xattr support introduced in Linux 3.0 by implementing
initxattrs callback.  This enables consulting of security attributes from
LSM and EVM when inode is created.

mm, oom: force oom kill on sysrq+f

The oom killer chooses not to kill a thread if:

 - an eligible thread has already been oom killed and has yet to exit,
   and

 - an eligible thread is exiting but has yet to free all its memory and
   is not the thread attempting to currently allocate memory.

SysRq+F manually invokes the global oom killer to kill a memory-hogging
task.  This is normally done as a last resort to free memory when no
progress is being made or to test the oom killer itself.

For both uses, we always want to kill a thread and never defer.  This
patch causes SysRq+F to always kill an eligible thread and can be used to
force a kill even if another oom killed thread has failed to exit.

procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc/<pid>/maps

Stack for a new thread is mapped by userspace code and passed via
sys_clone.  This memory is currently seen as anonymous in
/proc/<pid>/maps, which makes it difficult to ascertain which mappings
are being used for thread stacks.  This patch uses the individual task
stack pointers to determine which vmas are actually thread stacks.

For a multithreaded program like the following:

#include <pthread.h>

void *thread_main(void *foo)
{
while(1);
}

int main()
{
pthread_t t;
pthread_create(&t, NULL, thread_main, NULL);
pthread_join(t, NULL);
}

proc/PID/maps looks like the following:

Here, one could guess that 7f8a44492000-7f8a44c92000 is a stack since
the earlier vma that has no permissions (7f8a44e3d000-7f8a4503d000) but
that is not always a reliable way to find out which vma is a thread
stack.  Also, /proc/PID/maps and /proc/PID/task/TID/maps has the same
content.

With this patch in place, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps are treated as 'maps
as the task would see it' and hence, only the vma that that task uses as
stack is marked as [stack].  All other 'stack' vmas are marked as
anonymous memory.  /proc/PID/maps acts as a thread group level view,
where all thread stack vmas are marked as [stack:TID] where TID is the
process ID of the task that uses that vma as stack, while the process
stack is marked as [stack].

So /proc/PID/maps will look like this:

When shrinking inactive lru list, isolated pages are queued on locally
private list, so the lock-hold time could be reduced if pages are counted
without lock protection.

To achieve that, firstly updating reclaim stat is delayed until the
putback stage, after reacquiring the lru lock.

Secondly, operations related to vm and zone stats are now proteced with
preemption disabled as they are per-cpu operations.

mm: hugetlb: defer freeing pages when gathering surplus pages

When gathering surplus pages, the number of needed pages is recomputed
after reacquiring hugetlb lock to catch changes in resv_huge_pages and
free_huge_pages.  Plus it is recomputed with the number of newly allocated
pages involved.

Thus freeing pages can be deferred a bit to see if the final page request
is satisfied, though pages could be allocated less than needed.

mm: vmscan: forcibly scan highmem if there are too many buffer_heads pinning highmem

Stuart Foster reported on bugzilla that copying large amounts of data
from NTFS caused an OOM kill on 32-bit X86 with 16G of memory.  Andrew
Morton correctly identified that the problem was NTFS was using 512
blocks meaning each page had 8 buffer_heads in low memory pinning it.

In the past, direct reclaim used to scan highmem even if the allocating
process did not specify __GFP_HIGHMEM but not any more.  kswapd no longer
will reclaim from zones that are above the high watermark.  The intention
in both cases was to minimise unnecessary reclaim.  The downside is on
machines with large amounts of highmem that lowmem can be fully consumed
by buffer_heads with nothing trying to free them.

The following patch is based on a suggestion by Andrew Morton to extend
the buffer_heads_over_limit case to force kswapd and direct reclaim to
scan the highmem zone regardless of the allocation request or watermarks.

The RECLAIM_FS notations indicate that it's doing the GFP_FS checking that
Nick hacked into lockdep a while back: I think we're intended to read that
"<Interrupt>" in the DEADLOCK scenario as "<Direct reclaim>".

I'm hazy, I have not reached any conclusion as to whether it's right to
complain or not; but I believe it's uneasy about kswapd now doing the
mutex_lock(&pcpu_alloc_mutex) which lru_add_drain_all() entails.  Nor have
I reached any conclusion as to whether it's important for kswapd to do
that draining or not.

But so as not to get blocked on this, with lockdep disabled from giving
further reports, here's a patch which removes the lru_add_drain_all() from
kswapd's callpath (and calls it only once from compact_nodes(), instead of
once per node).

vmscan: only defer compaction for failed order and higher

Currently a failed order-9 (transparent hugepage) compaction can lead to
memory compaction being temporarily disabled for a memory zone.  Even if
we only need compaction for an order 2 allocation, eg.  for jumbo frames
networking.

The fix is relatively straightforward: keep track of the highest order at
which compaction is succeeding, and only defer compaction for orders at
which compaction is failing.

vmscan: kswapd carefully call compaction

With CONFIG_COMPACTION enabled, kswapd does not try to free contiguous
free pages, even when it is woken for a higher order request.

This could be bad for eg.  jumbo frame network allocations, which are done
from interrupt context and cannot compact memory themselves.  Higher than
before allocation failure rates in the network receive path have been
observed in kernels with compaction enabled.

Teach kswapd to defragment the memory zones in a node, but only if
required and compaction is not deferred in a zone.

vmscan: reclaim at order 0 when compaction is enabled

When built with CONFIG_COMPACTION, kswapd should not try to free
contiguous pages, because it is not trying hard enough to have a real
chance at being successful, but still disrupts the LRU enough to break
other things.

Do not do higher order page isolation unless we really are in lumpy
reclaim mode.

Stop reclaiming pages once we have enough free pages that compaction can
deal with things, and we hit the normal order 0 watermarks used by kswapd.

Also remove a line of code that increments balanced right before exiting
the function.

mm: make swapin readahead skip over holes

Ever since abandoning the virtual scan of processes, for scalability
reasons, swap space has been a little more fragmented than before.  This
can lead to the situation where a large memory user is killed, swap space
ends up full of "holes" and swapin readahead is totally ineffective.

On my home system, after killing a leaky firefox it took over an hour to
page just under 2GB of memory back in, slowing the virtual machines down
to a crawl.

This patch makes swapin readahead simply skip over holes, instead of
stopping at them.  This allows the system to swap things back in at rates
of several MB/second, instead of a few hundred kB/second.

The checks done in valid_swaphandles are already done in
read_swap_cache_async as well, allowing us to remove a fair amount of
code.

There's no need to emit any warning about the oom condition if the thread

In such a case, it's better to just return to the page allocator and retry

mm: thp: fix pmd_bad() triggering in code paths holding mmap_sem read mode

In some cases it may happen that pmd_none_or_clear_bad() is called with
the mmap_sem hold in read mode.  In those cases the huge page faults can
allocate hugepmds under pmd_none_or_clear_bad() and that can trigger a
false positive from pmd_bad() that will not like to see a pmd
materializing as trans huge.

It's not khugepaged causing the problem, khugepaged holds the mmap_sem
in write mode (and all those sites must hold the mmap_sem in read mode
to prevent pagetables to go away from under them, during code review it
seems vm86 mode on 32bit kernels requires that too unless it's
restricted to 1 thread per process or UP builds).  The race is only with
the huge pagefaults that can convert a pmd_none() into a
pmd_trans_huge().

Effectively all these pmd_none_or_clear_bad() sites running with
mmap_sem in read mode are somewhat speculative with the page faults, and
the result is always undefined when they run simultaneously.  This is
probably why it wasn't common to run into this.  For example if the
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) runs zap_page_range() shortly before the page
fault, the hugepage will not be zapped, if the page fault runs first it
will be zapped.

Altering pmd_bad() not to error out if it finds hugepmds won't be enough
to fix this, because zap_pmd_range would then proceed to call
zap_pte_range (which would be incorrect if the pmd become a
pmd_trans_huge()).

The simplest way to fix this is to read the pmd in the local stack
(regardless of what we read, no need of actual CPU barriers, only
compiler barrier needed), and be sure it is not changing under the code
that computes its value.  Even if the real pmd is changing under the
value we hold on the stack, we don't care.  If we actually end up in
zap_pte_range it means the pmd was not none already and it was not huge,
and it can't become huge from under us (khugepaged locking explained
above).

All we need is to enforce that there is no way anymore that in a code
path like below, pmd_trans_huge can be false, but pmd_none_or_clear_bad
can run into a hugepmd.  The overhead of a barrier() is just a compiler
tweak and should not be measurable (I only added it for THP builds).  I
don't exclude different compiler versions may have prevented the race
too by caching the value of *pmd on the stack (that hasn't been
verified, but it wouldn't be impossible considering
pmd_none_or_clear_bad, pmd_bad, pmd_trans_huge, pmd_none are all inlines
and there's no external function called in between pmd_trans_huge and
pmd_none_or_clear_bad).

if (pmd_trans_huge(*pmd)) {
if (next-addr != HPAGE_PMD_SIZE) {
VM_BUG_ON(!rwsem_is_locked(&tlb->mm->mmap_sem));
split_huge_page_pmd(vma->vm_mm, pmd);
} else if (zap_huge_pmd(tlb, vma, pmd, addr))
continue;
/* fall through */
}
if (pmd_none_or_clear_bad(pmd))

    and the page's map count (_mapcount field in struct page). When the page
    is subsequently reclaimed, __split_huge_page() detects this inconsistency.

       1381         if (mapcount != page_mapcount(page))
       1382                 printk(KERN_ERR "mapcount %d page_mapcount %d\n",
       1383                        mapcount, page_mapcount(page));
    -> 1384         BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page));

    The root cause of the problem is a race of two threads in a multithreaded
    process. Thread B incurs a page fault on a virtual address that has never
    been accessed (PMD entry is zero) while Thread A is executing an madvise()
    system call on a virtual address within the same 2 MB (huge page) range.

                             // We don't get here due to the above assumption.

                  spin_unlock(&mm->page_table_lock)

    The mmap_sem does not prevent the race because both threads are acquiring
    it in shared mode (down_read).  Thread B holds the page_table_lock while
    the page's map count and PMD table entry are updated.  However, Thread A
    does not synchronize on that lock.
