Ingo Molnar 4d795fb17a tracing: Fix kmem event exports
Commit 53d0422 ("tracing: Convert some kmem events to DEFINE_EVENT")
moved the kmem tracepoint creation from util.c to page_alloc.c,
but forgot to move the exports.

Move them back.

 333987   69800   27228  431015   693a7 mm/built-in.o.old
 330030   69800   27228  427058   68432 mm/built-in.o

8 events are converted:

  kmem_alloc: kmalloc, kmem_cache_alloc
  kmem_alloc_node: kmalloc_node, kmem_cache_alloc_node
  kmem_free: kfree, kmem_cache_free
  mm_page: mm_page_alloc_zone_locked, mm_page_pcpu_drain

No change in functionality.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki e00e431612 memcg: fix wrong pointer initialization at page migration when memcg is disabled.
Lee Schermerhorn reported that he saw bad pointer dereference in
mem_cgroup_end_migration() when he disabled memcg by boot option.

memcg's page migration logic works as

	mem_cgroup_prepare_migration(page, &ptr);
	do page migration
	mem_cgroup_end_migration(page, ptr);

Now, ptr is not initialized in prepare_migration when memcg is disabled
by boot option. This causes panic in end_migration. This patch fixes it.

Mel Gorman 9d0ed60fe9 page allocator: Do not allow interrupts to use ALLOC_HARDER
Commit 341ce06f69 ("page allocator:
calculate the alloc_flags for allocation only once") altered watermark
logic slightly by allowing rt_tasks that are handling an interrupt to set
ALLOC_HARDER.  This patch brings the watermark logic more in line with
2.6.30.

This change results in a reduction of the number high-order GFP_ATOMIC
allocation failures reported.  See

Mel Gorman cc4a685146 page allocator: always wake kswapd when restarting an allocation attempt after direct reclaim failed
If a direct reclaim makes no forward progress, it considers whether it
should go OOM or not.  Whether OOM is triggered or not, it may retry the
allocation afterwards.  In times past, this would always wake kswapd as
well but currently, kswapd is not woken up after direct reclaim fails.
For order-0 allocations, this makes little difference but if there is a
heavy mix of higher-order allocations that direct reclaim is failing for,
it might mean that kswapd is not rewoken for higher orders as much as it
did previously.

This patch wakes up kswapd when an allocation is being retried after a
direct reclaim failure.  It would be expected that kswapd is already
awake, but this has the effect of telling kswapd to reclaim at the higher
order as well.

debug_kmap_atomic() tries to prevent ever printing more than 10
warnings, but it does so by testing whether an unsigned integer
is equal to 0. However, if the warning is caused by a nested
IRQ, then this counter may underflow and the stream of warnings
will never end.

Fix that by using a signed integer instead.

Bo Liu 32c5fc10e7 mm: remove incorrect swap_count() from try_to_unuse()
In try_to_unuse(), swcount is a local copy of *swap_map, including the
SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit; but a wrong comparison against swap_count(*swap_map),
which masks off the SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit, succeeded where it should fail.

That had the effect of resetting the mm from which to start searching
for the next swap page, to an irrelevant mm instead of to an mm in which
this swap page had been found: which may increase search time by ~20%.
But we're used to swapoff being slow, so never noticed the slowdown.

Remove that one spurious use of swap_count(): Bo Liu thought it merely
redundant, Hugh rewrote the description since it was measurably wrong.

Don't pass NULL pointers to fput() in the error handling paths of the NOMMU
do_mmap_pgoff() as it can't handle it.

The following can be used as a test program:

	int main() { static long long a[1024 * 1024 * 20] = { 0 }; return a;}

Without the patch, the code oopses in atomic_long_dec_and_test() as called by
fput() after the kernel complains that it can't allocate that big a chunk of
memory.  With the patch, the kernel just complains about the allocation size
and then the program segfaults during execve() as execve() can't complete the
allocation of all the new ELF program segments.

Johannes Weiner 6a7b95481d vmscan: order evictable rescue in LRU putback
Isolators putting a page back to the LRU do not hold the page lock, and if
the page is mlocked, another thread might munlock it concurrently.

Expecting this, the putback code re-checks the evictability of a page when
it just moved it to the unevictable list in order to correct its decision.

The problem, however, is that ordering is not garuanteed between setting
PG_lru when moving the page to the list and checking PG_mlocked
afterwards:

	#0:				#1

	spin_lock()
					if (TestClearPageMlocked())
					  if (PageLRU())
					    move to evictable list
	SetPageLRU()
	spin_unlock()
	if (!PageMlocked())
	  move to evictable list

The PageMlocked() check may get reordered before SetPageLRU() in #0,
resulting in #0 not moving the still mlocked page, and in #1 failing to
isolate and move the page as well.  The page is now stranded on the
unevictable list.

The race condition is very unlikely.  The consequence currently is one
page falling off the reclaim grid and eventually getting freed with
PG_unevictable set, which triggers a warning in the page allocator.

TestClearPageMlocked() in #1 already provides full memory barrier
semantics.

This patch adds an explicit full barrier to force ordering between
SetPageLRU() and PageMlocked() so that either one of the competitors
rescues the page.

        mm: oom analysis: add buffer cache information to show_free_areas()

show_free_areas() is called during page allocation failures, and page
allocation failures can occur in any calling context.

But nr_blockdev_pages() takes VFS locks which should not be taken from
hard IRQ context (at least).  The result is lockdep warnings (and
deadlockability) during page allocation failures.

Hugh Dickins 92f7ba70ee hwpoison: fix oops on ksm pages
Memory failure on a KSM page currently oopses on its NULL anon_vma in
page_lock_anon_vma(): that may not be much worse than the consequence of
ignoring it, but it is better to be consistent with how ZERO_PAGE and
hugetlb pages and other awkward cases are treated.  Just skip it.

We could fix it for 2.6.32 at the KSM end, by putting a dummy anon_vma
pointer in there; but that would get harder next time, when KSM will put a
pointer to something else there (and I'm not currently planning to do any
work to open that up to memory_failure).  So I would prefer this simple
PageKsm test, until the other exceptions are handled.

currently have that cached in sb->s_bdi. Normally this is ensured by
the sb having a longer life span than the bdi, but if the device is

to freed memory at that point.

This fixes a problem with sync(1) hanging when a USB stick is pulled

spin_lock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq() calls, which make them unsafe
with respect to being called from contexts which have IRQs off.

This patch converts the code to perform save/restore of flags instead,
making pcpu_alloc() (or __alloc_percpu() respectively) to be called
from early kernel startup stage, where IRQs are off.

This is needed for proper initialization of per-cpu rq_weight data from
sched_init().

tj: added comment explaining why irqsave/restore is used in alloc path.

Memory failure on a KSM page currently oopses on its NULL anon_vma in

of ignoring it, but it is better to be consistent with how ZERO_PAGE

Wu Fengguang e43c3afb36 HWPOISON: return early on non-LRU pages
Right now we have some trouble with non atomic access
to page flags when locking the page. To plug this hole
for now, limit error recovery to LRU pages for now.

This could be better fixed by defining a suitable protocol,
but let's go this simple way for now

This avoids unnecessary races with __set_page_locked() and
__SetPageSlab*() and maybe more non-atomic page flag operations.

This loses isolated pages which are currently in page reclaim, but these
are relatively limited compared to the total memory.

Wu Fengguang d25105e891 writeback: account IO throttling wait as iowait
It makes sense to do IOWAIT when someone is blocked
due to IO throttle, as suggested by Kame and Peter.

There is an old comment for not doing IOWAIT on throttle,
however it has been mismatching the code for a long time.

If we stop accounting IOWAIT for 2.6.32, it could be an
undesirable behavior change. So restore the io_schedule.

David Miller 2dca6999ee mm, perf_event: Make vmalloc_user() align base kernel virtual address to SHMLBA
When a vmalloc'd area is mmap'd into userspace, some kind of
co-ordination is necessary for this to work on platforms with cpu
D-caches which can have aliases.

Otherwise kernel side writes won't be seen properly in userspace
and vice versa.

If the kernel side mapping and the user side one have the same
alignment, modulo SHMLBA, this can work as long as VM_SHARED is
shared of VMA and for all current users this is true.  VM_SHARED
will force SHMLBA alignment of the user side mmap on platforms with
D-cache aliasing matters.

The bulk of this patch is just making it so that a specific
alignment can be passed down into __get_vm_area_node().  All
existing callers pass in '1' which preserves existing behavior.
vmalloc_user() gives SHMLBA for the alignment.

As a side effect this should get the video media drivers and other
vmalloc_user() users into more working shape on such systems.

Hugh Dickins c73602ad31 ksm: more on default values
Adjust the max_kernel_pages default to a quarter of totalram_pages,
instead of nr_free_buffer_pages() / 4: the KSM pages themselves come from
highmem, and even on a 16GB PAE machine, 4GB of KSM pages would only be
pinning 32MB of lowmem with their rmap_items, so no need for the more
obscure calculation (nor for its own special init function).

There is no way for the user to switch KSM on if CONFIG_SYSFS is not
enabled, so in that case default run to KSM_RUN_MERGE.

Update KSM Documentation and Kconfig to reflect the new defaults.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 4e649152cb memcg: some modification to softlimit under hierarchical memory reclaim.
This patch clean up/fixes for memcg's uncharge soft limit path.

Problems:
  Now, res_counter_charge()/uncharge() handles softlimit information at
  charge/uncharge and softlimit-check is done when event counter per memcg
  goes over limit. Now, event counter per memcg is updated only when
  memory usage is over soft limit. Here, considering hierarchical memcg
  management, ancesotors should be taken care of.

  Now, ancerstors(hierarchy) are handled in charge() but not in uncharge().
  This is not good.

  Prolems:
  1. memcg's event counter incremented only when softlimit hits. That's bad.
     It makes event counter hard to be reused for other purpose.

  2. At uncharge, only the lowest level rescounter is handled. This is bug.
     Because ancesotor's event counter is not incremented, children should
     take care of them.

  3. res_counter_uncharge()'s 3rd argument is NULL in most case.
     ops under res_counter->lock should be small. No "if" sentense is better.

Fixes:
  * Removed soft_limit_xx poitner and checks in charge and uncharge.
    Do-check-only-when-necessary scheme works enough well without them.

  * make event-counter of memcg incremented at every charge/uncharge.
    (per-cpu area will be accessed soon anyway)

  * All ancestors are checked at soft-limit-check. This is necessary because
    ancesotor's event counter may never be modified. Then, they should be
    checked at the same time.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 26251eaf98 memcg: fix refcnt going negative
__mem_cgroup_largest_soft_limit_node() returns a mem_cgroup_per_zone "mz"
with incremnted mz->mem->css's refcnt.  Then, the caller of this function
has to call css_put(mz->mem->css).

But, mz can be !NULL even if "not found" i.e.  without css_get().  By
this, css->refcnt will go down to minus.

This may cause various things...one of results will be
initite-loop in css_tryget()  as this.
