The __compaction_suitable() function checks the low watermark plus a
compact_gap() gap to decide if there's enough free memory to perform
compaction. This check uses direct compactor's alloc_flags, but that's
wrong, since these flags are not applicable for freepage isolation.
For example, alloc_flags may indicate access to memory reserves, making
compaction proceed, and then fail watermark check during the isolation.
A similar problem exists for ALLOC_CMA, which may be part of
alloc_flags, but not during freepage isolation. In this case however it
makes sense to use ALLOC_CMA both in __compaction_suitable() and
__isolate_free_page(), since there's actually nothing preventing the
freepage scanner to isolate from CMA pageblocks, with the assumption
that a page that could be migrated once by compaction can be migrated
also later by CMA allocation. Thus we should count pages in CMA
pageblocks when considering compaction suitability and when isolating
freepages.
To sum up, this patch should remove some false positives from
__compaction_suitable(), and allow compaction to proceed when free pages
required for compaction reside in the CMA pageblocks.

The __compact_finished() function uses low watermark in a check that has
to pass if the direct compaction is to finish and allocation should
succeed. This is too pessimistic, as the allocation will typically use
min watermark. It may happen that during compaction, we drop below the
low watermark (due to parallel activity), but still form the target
high-order page. By checking against low watermark, we might needlessly
continue compaction.
Similarly, __compaction_suitable() uses low watermark in a check whether
allocation can succeed without compaction. Again, this is unnecessarily
pessimistic.
After this patch, these check will use direct compactor's alloc_flags to
determine the watermark, which is effectively the min watermark.

During reclaim/compaction loop, it's desirable to get a final answer
from unsuccessful compaction so we can either fail the allocation or
invoke the OOM killer. However, heuristics such as deferred compaction
or pageblock skip bits can cause compaction to skip parts or whole zones
and lead to premature OOM's, failures or excessive reclaim/compaction
retries.
To remedy this, we introduce a new direct compaction priority called
COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_FULL, which instructs direct compaction to:
- ignore deferred compaction status for a zone
- ignore pageblock skip hints
- ignore cached scanner positions and scan the whole zone
The new priority should get eventually picked up by
should_compact_retry() and this should improve success rates for costly
allocations using __GFP_REPEAT, such as hugetlbfs allocations, and
reduce some corner-case OOM's for non-costly allocations.

Joonsoo has reminded me that in a later patch changing watermark checks
throughout compaction I forgot to update checks in
try_to_compact_pages() and compactd_do_work(). Closer inspection
however shows that they are redundant now in the success case, because
compact_zone() now reliably reports this with COMPACT_SUCCESS. So
effectively the checks just repeat (a subset) of checks that have just
passed. So instead of checking watermarks again, just test the return
value.
Note it's also possible that compaction would declare failure e.g.
because its find_suitable_fallback() is more strict than simple
watermark check, and then the watermark check we are removing would then
still succeed. After this patch this is not possible and it's arguably
better, because for long-term fragmentation avoidance we should rather
try a different zone than allocate with the unsuitable fallback. If
compaction of all zones fail and the allocation is important enough, it
will retry and succeed anyway.
Also remove the stray "bool success" variable from kcompactd_do_work().

COMPACT_PARTIAL has historically meant that compaction returned after
doing some work without fully compacting a zone. It however didn't
distinguish if compaction terminated because it succeeded in creating
the requested high-order page. This has changed recently and now we
only return COMPACT_PARTIAL when compaction thinks it succeeded, or the
high-order watermark check in compaction_suitable() passes and no
compaction needs to be done.
So at this point we can make the return value clearer by renaming it to
COMPACT_SUCCESS. The next patch will remove some redundant tests for
success where compaction just returned COMPACT_SUCCESS.

Patch series "make direct compaction more deterministic")
This is mostly a followup to Michal's oom detection rework, which
highlighted the need for direct compaction to provide better feedback in
reclaim/compaction loop, so that it can reliably recognize when
compaction cannot make further progress, and allocation should invoke
OOM killer or fail. We've discussed this at LSF/MM [1] where I proposed
expanding the async/sync migration mode used in compaction to more
general "priorities". This patchset adds one new priority that just
overrides all the heuristics and makes compaction fully scan all zones.
I don't currently think that we need more fine-grained priorities, but
we'll see. Other than that there's some smaller fixes and cleanups,
mainly related to the THP-specific hacks.
I've tested this with stress-highalloc in GFP_KERNEL order-4 and
THP-like order-9 scenarios. There's some improvement for compaction
stats for the order-4, which is likely due to the better watermarks
handling. In the previous version I reported mostly noise wrt
compaction stats, and decreased direct reclaim - now the reclaim is
without difference. I believe this is due to the less aggressive
compaction priority increase in patch 6.

series that was sent and merged separately

This patch (of 11):
A recent patch has added whole_zone flag that compaction sets when
scanning starts from the zone boundary, in order to report that zone has
been fully scanned in one attempt. For allocations that want to try
really hard or cannot fail, we will want to introduce a mode where
scanning whole zone is guaranteed regardless of the cached positions.
This patch reuses the whole_zone flag in a way that if it's already
passed true to compaction, the cached scanner positions are ignored.
Employing this flag during reclaim/compaction loop will be done in the
next patch. This patch however converts compaction invoked from
userspace via procfs to use this flag. Before this patch, the cached
positions were first reset to zone boundaries and then read back from
struct zone, so there was a window where a parallel compaction could
replace the reset values, making the manual compaction less effective.
Using the flag instead of performing reset is more robust.

When selecting an oom victim, we use the same heuristic for both memory
cgroup and global oom. The only difference is the scope of tasks to
select the victim from. So we could just export an iterator over all
memcg tasks and keep all oom related logic in oom_kill.c, but instead we
duplicate pieces of it in memcontrol.c reusing some initially private
functions of oom_kill.c in order to not duplicate all of it. That looks
ugly and error prone, because any modification of select_bad_process
should also be propagated to mem_cgroup_out_of_memory.
Let's rework this as follows: keep all oom heuristic related code private
to oom_kill.c and make oom_kill.c use exported memcg functions when it's
really necessary (like in case of iterating over memcg tasks).

However this is somewhat awkward as the same list_head in the event is
protected by notification_lock if it is part of the notification queue

That in turn may violate lock ordering for some filesystems since

Pull HID updates from Jiri Kosina:
- Integrated Sensor Hub support (Cherrytrail+) from Srinivas Pandruvada
- Big cleanup of Wacom driver; namely it's now using devres, and the
standardized LED API so that libinput doesn't need to have root
access any more, with substantial amount of other cleanups
piggy-backing on top. All this from Benjamin Tissoires
- Report descriptor parsing would now ignore and out-of-range System
controls in case of the application actually being System Control.
This fixes quite some issues with several devices, and allows us to
remove a few ->report_fixup callbacks. From Benjamin Tissoires
- ... a lot of other assorted small fixes and device ID additions

register a callback_result which tells them the result of the dma
transaction. Right now only one user ntb is using it.
- As we discussed on KS mailing list and pointed out NO_IRQ has no place in

In addition to a slew of minor fixes and cleanups these patches refactors how
we deal with remoteprocs that will be auto-booting themselves, this in itself
do clean up the remote resource handling but opens for additional work to
clarify responsibilities and life cycles of resources. We also revise how
module locking of remoteproc drivers work, so that they are locked as we hand
out references to them to third parties, rather than only when booted by
anyone.
In addition to this we also introduce the Qualcomm Wireless Subsystem
remoteproc driver.

Pull remoteproc updates from Bjorn Andersson:
"In addition to a slew of minor fixes and cleanups these patches
refactor how we deal with remoteprocs that will be auto-booting
themselves.
That does clean up the remote resource handling but makes for
additional work to clarify responsibilities and life cycles of
resources. We also revise how module locking of remoteproc drivers
work, so that they are locked as we hand out references to them to
third parties, rather than only when booted by anyone.
In addition to that we also introduce the Qualcomm Wireless Subsystem
remoteproc driver"

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"This set of changes is a number of smaller things that have been
overlooked in other development cycles focused on more fundamental
change. The devpts changes are small things that were a distraction
until we managed to kill off DEVPTS_MULTPLE_INSTANCES. There is an
trivial regression fix to autofs for the unprivileged mount changes
that went in last cycle. A pair of ioctls has been added by Andrey
Vagin making it is possible to discover the relationships between
namespaces when referring to them through file descriptors.
The big user visible change is starting to add simple resource limits
to catch programs that misbehave. With namespaces in general and user
namespaces in particular allowing users to use more kinds of
resources, it has become important to have something to limit errant
programs. Because the purpose of these limits is to catch errant
programs the code needs to be inexpensive to use as it always on, and
the default limits need to be high enough that well behaved programs
on well behaved systems don't encounter them.
To this end, after some review I have implemented per user per user
namespace limits, and use them to limit the number of namespaces. The
limits being per user mean that one user can not exhause the limits of
another user. The limits being per user namespace allow contexts where
the limit is 0 and security conscious folks can remove from their
threat anlysis the code used to manage namespaces (as they have
historically done as it root only). At the same time the limits being
per user namespace allow other parts of the system to use namespaces.
Namespaces are increasingly being used in application sand boxing
scenarios so an all or nothing disable for the entire system for the
security conscious folks makes increasing use of these sandboxes
impossible.
There is also added a limit on the maximum number of mounts present in
a single mount namespace. It is nontrivial to guess what a reasonable
system wide limit on the number of mount structure in the kernel would
be, especially as it various based on how a system is using
containers. A limit on the number of mounts in a mount namespace
however is much easier to understand and set. In most cases in
practice only about 1000 mounts are used. Given that some autofs
scenarious have the potential to be 30,000 to 50,000 mounts I have set
the default limit for the number of mounts at 100,000 which is well
above every known set of users but low enough that the mount hash
tables don't degrade unreaonsably.
These limits are a start. I expect this estabilishes a pattern that
other limits for resources that namespaces use will follow. There has
been interest in making inotify event limits per user per user
namespace as well as interest expressed in making details about what
is going on in the kernel more visible"

Pull xfs and iomap updates from Dave Chinner:
"The main things in this update are the iomap-based DAX infrastructure,
an XFS delalloc rework, and a chunk of fixes to how log recovery
schedules writeback to prevent spurious corruption detections when
recovery of certain items was not required.
The other main chunk of code is some preparation for the upcoming
reflink functionality. Most of it is generic and cleanups that stand
alone, but they were ready and reviewed so are in this pull request.
Speaking of reflink, I'm currently planning to send you another pull
request next week containing all the new reflink functionality. I'm
working through a similar process to the last cycle, where I sent the
reverse mapping code in a separate request because of how large it
was. The reflink code merge is even bigger than reverse mapping, so
I'll be doing the same thing again....
