I added blk_run_backing_dev on page_cache_async_readahead so readahead I/O
is unpluged to improve throughput on especially RAID environment.
The normal case is, if page N become uptodate at time T(N), then T(N) <=
T(N+1) holds. With RAID (and NFS to some degree), there is no strict
ordering, the data arrival time depends on runtime status of individual
disks, which breaks that formula. So in do_generic_file_read(), just
after submitting the async readahead IO request, the current page may well
be uptodate, so the page won't be locked, and the block device won't be
implicitly unplugged:
if (PageReadahead(page))
page_cache_async_readahead()
if (!PageUptodate(page))
goto page_not_up_to_date;
//...
page_not_up_to_date:
lock_page_killable(page);
Therefore explicit unplugging can help.
Following is the test result with dd.

for the access and default ACLs, just using a different underlying
attribute. With a little more groundwork it'll also allow sharing the
methods for the regular user/trusted/secure handlers in extN, ocfs2 and
jffs2 like it's already done for xfs in this patch.
Also change the inode argument to the handlers to a dentry to allow
using the handlers mechnism for filesystems that require it later,

memcg_tasklist was introduced at commit 7f4d454d(memcg: avoid deadlock
caused by race between oom and cpuset_attach) instead of cgroup_mutex to
fix a deadlock problem. The cgroup_mutex, which was removed by the
commit, in mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() was originally introduced at commit
c7ba5c9e (Memory controller: OOM handling).
IIUC, the intention of this cgroup_mutex was to prevent task move during
select_bad_process() so that situations like below can be avoided.
Assume cgroup "foo" has exceeded its limit and is about to trigger oom.
1. Process A, which has been in cgroup "baa" and uses large memory, is just
moved to cgroup "foo". Process A can be the candidates for being killed.
2. Process B, which has been in cgroup "foo" and uses large memory, is just
moved from cgroup "foo". Process B can be excluded from the candidates for
being killed.
But these race window exists anyway even if we hold a lock, because
__mem_cgroup_try_charge() decides wether it should trigger oom or not
outside of the lock. So the original cgroup_mutex in
mem_cgroup_out_of_memory and thus current memcg_tasklist has no use. And
IMHO, those races are not so critical for users.
This patch removes it and make codes simpler.

task_in_mem_cgroup(), which is called by select_bad_process() to check
whether a task can be a candidate for being oom-killed from memcg's limit,
checks "curr->use_hierarchy"("curr" is the mem_cgroup the task belongs
to).
But this check return true(it's false positive) when:
<some path>/aa use_hierarchy == 0 <- hitting limit
<some path>/aa/00 use_hierarchy == 1 <- the task belongs to
This leads to killing an innocent task in aa/00. This patch is a fix for
this bug. And this patch also fixes the arg for
mem_cgroup_print_oom_info(). We should print information of mem_cgroup
which the task being killed, not current, belongs to.

mem_cgroup_move_parent() calls try_charge first and cancel_charge on
failure. IMHO, charge/uncharge(especially charge) is high cost operation,
so we should avoid it as far as possible.
This patch tries to delay try_charge in mem_cgroup_move_parent() by
re-ordering checks it does.
And this patch renames mem_cgroup_move_account() to
__mem_cgroup_move_account(), changes the return value of
__mem_cgroup_move_account() from int to void, and adds a new
wrapper(mem_cgroup_move_account()), which checks whether a @pc is valid
for moving account and calls __mem_cgroup_move_account().
This patch removes the last caller of trylock_page_cgroup(), so removes
its definition too.

This is a patch for coalescing access to res_counter at charging by percpu
caching. At charge, memcg charges 64pages and remember it in percpu
cache. Because it's cache, drain/flush if necessary.
This version uses public percpu area.
2 benefits for using public percpu area.
1. Sum of stocked charge in the system is limited to # of cpus
not to the number of memcg. This shows better synchonization.
2. drain code for flush/cpuhotplug is very easy (and quick)
The most important point of this patch is that we never touch res_counter
in fast path. The res_counter is system-wide shared counter which is modified
very frequently. We shouldn't touch it as far as we can for avoiding
false sharing.
On x86-64 8cpu server, I tested overheads of memcg at page fault by
running a program which does map/fault/unmap in a loop. Running
a task per a cpu by taskset and see sum of the number of page faults
in 60secs.

In massive parallel enviroment, res_counter can be a performance
bottleneck. One strong techinque to reduce lock contention is reducing
calls by coalescing some amount of calls into one.
Considering charge/uncharge chatacteristic,
- charge is done one by one via demand-paging.
- uncharge is done by
- in chunk at munmap, truncate, exit, execve...
- one by one via vmscan/paging.
It seems we have a chance to coalesce uncharges for improving scalability
at unmap/truncation.
This patch is a for coalescing uncharge. For avoiding scattering memcg's
structure to functions under /mm, this patch adds memcg batch uncharge
information to the task. A reason for per-task batching is for making use
of caller's context information. We do batched uncharge (deleyed
uncharge) when truncation/unmap occurs but do direct uncharge when
uncharge is called by memory reclaim (vmscan.c).
The degree of coalescing depends on callers
- at invalidate/trucate... pagevec size
- at unmap ....ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE
(memory itself will be freed in this degree.)
Then, we'll not coalescing too much.

A memory cgroup has a memory.memsw.usage_in_bytes file. It shows the sum

Fix node-oriented allocation handling in oom-kill.c I myself think of this
as a bugfix not as an ehnancement.
In these days, things are changed as
- alloc_pages() eats nodemask as its arguments, __alloc_pages_nodemask().
- mempolicy don't maintain its own private zonelists.
(And cpuset doesn't use nodemask for __alloc_pages_nodemask())
So, current oom-killer's check function is wrong.
This patch does
- check nodemask, if nodemask && nodemask doesn't cover all
node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY], this is CONSTRAINT_MEMORY_POLICY.
- Scan all zonelist under nodemask, if it hits cpuset's wall
this faiulre is from cpuset.
And
- modifies the caller of out_of_memory not to call oom if __GFP_THISNODE.
This doesn't change "current" behavior. If callers use __GFP_THISNODE
it should handle "page allocation failure" by itself.
- handle __GFP_NOFAIL+__GFP_THISNODE path.
This is something like a FIXME but this gfpmask is not used now.

Process based injection is much easier to handle for test programs,
who can first bring a page into a specific state and then test.
So add a new MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE to soft offline a page, similar
to the existing hard offline injector.
Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>
This is a simpler, gentler variant of memory_failure() for soft page
offlining controlled from user space. It doesn't kill anything, just
tries to invalidate and if that doesn't work migrate the
page away.
This is useful for predictive failure analysis, where a page has
a high rate of corrected errors, but hasn't gone bad yet. Instead
it can be offlined early and avoided.
The offlining is controlled from sysfs, including a new generic
entry point for hard page offlining for symmetry too.
We use the page isolate facility to prevent re-allocation
race. Normally this is only used by memory hotplug. To avoid
races with memory allocation I am using lock_system_sleep().
This avoids the situation where memory hotplug is about
to isolate a page range and then hwpoison undoes that work.
This is a big hammer currently, but the simplest solution
currently.
When the page is not free or LRU we try to free pages
from slab and other caches. The slab freeing is currently
quite dumb and does not try to focus on the specific slab
cache which might own the page. This could be potentially
improved later.
Thanks to Fengguang Wu and Haicheng Li for some fixes.

shake_page handles more types of page caches than
the much simpler lru_add_drain_all:
- slab (quite inefficiently for now)
- any other caches with a shrinker callback
- per cpu page allocator pages
- per CPU LRU
Use this call to try to turn pages into free or LRU pages.
Then handle the case of the page becoming free after drain everything.

The previous version didn't take the mmap_sem before calling gup(),
which is racy.
Use get_user_pages_fast() instead which doesn't need any locks.
This is also faster of course, but then it doesn't really matter
because this is just a testing path.

In some use cases, user doesn't need extra filtering. E.g. user program
can inject errors through madvise syscall to its own pages, however it
might not know what the page state exactly is or which inode the page
belongs to.
So introduce an one-off interface "corrupt-filter-enable".
Echo 0 to switch off page filters, and echo 1 to switch on the filters.

The hwpoison test suite need to inject hwpoison to a collection of
selected task pages, and must not touch pages not owned by them and
thus kill important system processes such as init. (But it's OK to
mis-hwpoison free/unowned pages as well as shared clean pages.
Mis-hwpoison of shared dirty pages will kill all tasks, so the test
suite will target all or non of such tasks in the first place.)
The memory cgroup serves this purpose well. We can put the target
processes under the control of a memory cgroup, and tell the hwpoison
injection code to only kill pages associated with some active memory
cgroup.
The prerequisite for doing hwpoison stress tests with mem_cgroup is,
the mem_cgroup code tracks task pages _accurately_ (unless page is
locked). Which we believe is/should be true.
The benefits are simplification of hwpoison injector code. Also the
mem_cgroup code will automatically be tested by hwpoison test cases.
The alternative interfaces pin-pfn/unpin-pfn can also delegate the
(process and page flags) filtering functions reliably to user space.
However prototype implementation shows that this scheme adds more
complexity than we wanted.
Example test case:
mkdir /cgroup/hwpoison
usemem -m 100 -s 1000 &
echo `jobs -p` > /cgroup/hwpoison/tasks
memcg_ino=$(ls -id /cgroup/hwpoison | cut -f1 -d' ')
echo $memcg_ino > /debug/hwpoison/corrupt-filter-memcg
page-types -p `pidof init` --hwpoison # shall do nothing
page-types -p `pidof usemem` --hwpoison # poison its pages

When specified, only poison pages if ((page_flags & mask) == value).
- corrupt-filter-flags-mask
- corrupt-filter-flags-value
This allows stress testing of many kinds of pages.
Strictly speaking, the buddy pages requires taking zone lock, to avoid
setting PG_hwpoison on a "was buddy but now allocated to someone" page.
However we can just do nothing because we set PG_locked in the beginning,
this prevents the page allocator from allocating it to someone. (It will
BUG() on the unexpected PG_locked, which is fine for hwpoison testing.)

__memory_failure()'s workflow is
set PG_hwpoison
//...
unset PG_hwpoison if didn't pass hwpoison filter
That could kill unrelated process if it happens to page fault on the
page with the (temporary) PG_hwpoison. The race should be big enough to
appear in stress tests.
Fix it by grabbing the page and checking filter at inject time. This
also avoids the very noisy "Injecting memory failure..." messages.
- we don't touch madvise() based injection, because the filters are
generally not necessary for it.
- if we want to apply the filters to h/w aided injection, we'd better to
rearrange the logic in __memory_failure() instead of this patch.

Filesystem data/metadata present the most tricky-to-isolate pages.
It requires careful code review and stress testing to get them right.
The fs/device filter helps to target the stress tests to some specific
filesystem pages. The filter condition is block device's major/minor
numbers:
- corrupt-filter-dev-major
- corrupt-filter-dev-minor
When specified (non -1), only page cache pages that belong to that
device will be poisoned.
The filters are checked reliably on the locked and refcounted page.

The unpoisoning interface is useful for stress testing tools to
reclaim poisoned pages (to prevent OOM)
There is no hardware level unpoisioning, so this
cannot be used for real memory errors, only for software injected errors.
Note that it may leak pages silently - those who have been removed from
LRU cache, but not isolated from page cache/swap cache at hwpoison time.

The NOMMU code currently clears all anonymous mmapped memory. While this
is what we want in the default case, all memory allocation from userspace
under NOMMU has to go through this interface, including malloc() which is
allowed to return uninitialized memory. This can easily be a significant
performance penalty. So for constrained embedded systems were security is
irrelevant, allow people to avoid clearing memory unnecessarily.
This also alters the ELF-FDPIC binfmt such that it obtains uninitialised

In AIM7 runs, recent kernels start swapping out anonymous pages well
before they should. This is due to shrink_list falling through to
shrink_inactive_list if !inactive_anon_is_low(zone, sc), when all we
really wanted to do is pre-age some anonymous pages to give them extra
time to be referenced while on the inactive list.
The obvious fix is to make sure that shrink_list does not fall through to
scanning/reclaiming inactive pages when we called it to scan one of the
active lists.
This change should be safe because the loop in shrink_zone ensures that we
will still shrink the anon and file inactive lists whenever we should.

This can be fixed by dropping the mm->page_table_lock around the call to
unmap_ref_private() if alloc_huge_page() fails, its dropped right below in
the normal path anyway. However, earlier in the that function, it's also
possible to call into the page allocator with the same spinlock held.
What this patch does is drop the spinlock before the page allocator is
potentially entered. The check for page allocation failure can be made
without the page_table_lock as well as the copy of the huge page. Even if
the PTE changed while the spinlock was held, the consequence is that a
huge page is copied unnecessarily. This resolves both the double taking
of the lock and sleeping with the spinlock held.

Now that ksm pages are swappable, and the known holes plugged, remove
mention of unswappable kernel pages from KSM documentation and comments.
Remove the totalram_pages/4 initialization of max_kernel_pages. In fact,
remove max_kernel_pages altogether - we can reinstate it if removal turns
out to break someone's script; but if we later want to limit KSM's memory
usage, limiting the stable nodes would not be an effective approach.

The previous patch enables page migration of ksm pages, but that soon gets
into trouble: not surprising, since we're using the ksm page lock to lock
operations on its stable_node, but page migration switches the page whose
lock is to be used for that. Another layer of locking would fix it, but
do we need that yet?
Do we actually need page migration of ksm pages? Yes, memory hotremove
needs to offline sections of memory: and since we stopped allocating ksm
pages with GFP_HIGHUSER, they will tend to be GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE
candidates for migration.
But KSM is currently unconscious of NUMA issues, happily merging pages
from different NUMA nodes: at present the rule must be, not to use
MADV_MERGEABLE where you care about NUMA. So no, NUMA page migration of
ksm pages does not make sense yet.
So, to complete support for ksm swapping we need to make hotremove safe.
ksm_memory_callback() take ksm_thread_mutex when MEM_GOING_OFFLINE and
release it when MEM_OFFLINE or MEM_CANCEL_OFFLINE. But if mapped pages
are freed before migration reaches them, stable_nodes may be left still
pointing to struct pages which have been removed from the system: the
stable_node needs to identify a page by pfn rather than page pointer, then
it can safely prune them when MEM_OFFLINE.
And make NUMA migration skip PageKsm pages where it skips PageReserved.
But it's only when we reach unmap_and_move() that the page lock is taken
and we can be sure that raised pagecount has prevented a PageAnon from
being upgraded: so add offlining arg to migrate_pages(), to migrate ksm
page when offlining (has sufficient locking) but reject it otherwise.

A side-effect of making ksm pages swappable is that they have to be placed
on the LRUs: which then exposes them to isolate_lru_page() and hence to
page migration.
Add rmap_walk() for remove_migration_ptes() to use: rmap_walk_anon() and
rmap_walk_file() in rmap.c, but rmap_walk_ksm() in ksm.c. Perhaps some
consolidation with existing code is possible, but don't attempt that yet
(try_to_unmap needs to handle nonlinears, but migration pte removal does
not).
rmap_walk() is sadly less general than it appears: rmap_walk_anon(), like
remove_anon_migration_ptes() which it replaces, avoids calling
page_lock_anon_vma(), because that includes a page_mapped() test which
fails when all migration ptes are in place. That was valid when NUMA page
migration was introduced (holding mmap_sem provided the missing guarantee
that anon_vma's slab had not already been destroyed), but I believe not
valid in the memory hotremove case added since.
For now do the same as before, and consider the best way to fix that
unlikely race later on. When fixed, we can probably use rmap_walk() on
hwpoisoned ksm pages too: for now, they remain among hwpoison's various
exceptions (its PageKsm test comes before the page is locked, but its
page_lock_anon_vma fails safely if an anon gets upgraded).

But ksm swapping does require one small change in mem cgroup handling.
When do_swap_page()'s call to ksm_might_need_to_copy() does indeed
substitute a duplicate page to accommodate a different anon_vma (or a the
!PageSwapCache check in mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin().
That was returning success without charging, on the assumption that
pte_same() would fail after, which is not the case here. Originally I
proposed that success, so that an unshrinkable mem cgroup at its limit
would not fail unnecessarily; but that's a minor point, and there are
plenty of other places where we may fail an overallocation which might
later prove unnecessary. So just go ahead and do what all the other
exceptions do: proceed to charge current mm.

When ksm pages were unswappable, it made no sense to include them in mem
cgroup accounting; but now that they are swappable (although I see no
strict logical connection) the principle of least surprise implies that
they should be accounted (with the usual dissatisfaction, that a shared
page is accounted to only one of the cgroups using it).
This patch was intended to add mem cgroup accounting where necessary; but
turned inside out, it now avoids allocating a ksm page, instead upgrading
an anon page to ksm - which brings its existing mem cgroup accounting with
it. Thus mem cgroups don't appear in the patch at all.
This upgrade from PageAnon to PageKsm takes place under page lock (via a
somewhat hacky NULL kpage interface), and audit showed only one place
which needed to cope with the race - page_referenced() is sometimes used
without page lock, so page_lock_anon_vma() needs an ACCESS_ONCE() to be
sure of getting anon_vma and flags together (no problem if the page goes
ksm an instant after, the integrity of that anon_vma list is unaffected).

There's a lamentable flaw in KSM swapping: the stable_node holds a
reference to the ksm page, so the page to be freed cannot actually be
freed until ksmd works its way around to removing the last rmap_item from
its stable_node. Which in some configurations may take minutes: not quite
responsive enough for memory reclaim. And we don't want to twist KSM and
its locking more tightly into the rest of mm. What a pity.
But although the stable_node needs to hold a pointer to the ksm page, does
it actually need to raise the reference count of that page?
No. It would need to do so if struct pages were ordinary kmalloc'ed
objects; but they are more stable than that, and reused in particular ways
according to particular rules.
Access to stable_node from its pointer in struct page is no problem, so
long as we never free a stable_node before the ksm page itself has been
freed. Access to struct page from its pointer in stable_node: reintroduce
get_ksm_page(), and let that peep out through its keyhole (the stable_node
pointer to ksm page), to see if that struct page still holds the right key
to open it (the ksm page mapping pointer back to this stable_node).
This relies upon the established way in which free_hot_cold_page() sets an
anon (including ksm) page->mapping to NULL; and relies upon no other user
of a struct page to put something which looks like the original
stable_node pointer (with two low bits also set) into page->mapping. It
also needs get_page_unless_zero() technique pioneered by speculative
pagecache; and uses rcu_read_lock() to keep the guarantees that gives.
There are several drivers which put pointers of their own into page->
mapping; but none of those could coincide with our stable_node pointers,
since KSM won't free a stable_node until it sees that the page has gone.
The only problem case found is the pagetable spinlock USE_SPLIT_PTLOCKS
places in struct page (my own abuse): to accommodate GENERIC_LOCKBREAK's
break_lock on 32-bit, that spans both page->private and page->mapping.
Since break_lock is only 0 or 1, again no confusion for get_ksm_page().
But what of DEBUG_SPINLOCK on 64-bit bigendian? When owner_cpu is 3
(matching PageKsm low bits), it might see 0xdead4ead00000003 in page->
mapping, which might coincide? We could get around that by... but a
better answer is to suppress USE_SPLIT_PTLOCKS when DEBUG_SPINLOCK or
DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC, to stop bloating sizeof(struct page) in their case -
already proposed in an earlier mm/Kconfig patch.

For full functionality, page_referenced_one() and try_to_unmap_one() need
to know the vma: to pass vma down to arch-dependent flushes, or to observe
VM_LOCKED or VM_EXEC. But KSM keeps no record of vma: nor can it, since
vmas get split and merged without its knowledge.
Instead, note page's anon_vma in its rmap_item when adding to stable tree:
all the vmas which might map that page are listed by its anon_vma.
page_referenced_ksm() and try_to_unmap_ksm() then traverse the anon_vma,
first to find the probable vma, that which matches rmap_item's mm; but if
that is not enough to locate all instances, traverse again to try the
others. This catches those occasions when fork has duplicated a pte of a
ksm page, but ksmd has not yet come around to assign it an rmap_item.
But each rmap_item in the stable tree which refers to an anon_vma needs to
take a reference to it. Andrea's anon_vma design cleverly avoided a
reference count (an anon_vma was free when its list of vmas was empty),
but KSM now needs to add that. Is a 32-bit count sufficient? I believe
so - the anon_vma is only free when both count is 0 and list is empty.

Initial implementation for swapping out KSM's shared pages: add
page_referenced_ksm() and try_to_unmap_ksm(), which rmap.c calls when
faced with a PageKsm page.
Most of what's needed can be got from the rmap_items listed from the
stable_node of the ksm page, without discovering the actual vma: so in
this patch just fake up a struct vma for page_referenced_one() or
try_to_unmap_one(), then refine that in the next patch.
Add VM_NONLINEAR to ksm_madvise()'s list of exclusions: it has always been
implicit there (being only set with VM_SHARED, already excluded), but
let's make it explicit, to help justify the lack of nonlinear unmap.
Rely on the page lock to protect against concurrent modifications to that
page's node of the stable tree.
The awkward part is not swapout but swapin: do_swap_page() and
page_add_anon_rmap() now have to allow for new possibilities - perhaps a
ksm page still in swapcache, perhaps a swapcache page associated with one
location in one anon_vma now needed for another location or anon_vma.
(And the vma might even be no longer VM_MERGEABLE when that happens.)
ksm_might_need_to_copy() checks for that case, and supplies a duplicate
page when necessary, simply leaving it to a subsequent pass of ksmd to
rediscover the identity and merge them back into one ksm page.
Disappointingly primitive: but the alternative would have to accumulate
unswappable info about the swapped out ksm pages, limiting swappability.
Remove page_add_ksm_rmap(): page_add_anon_rmap() now has to allow for the
particular case it was handling, so just use it instead.

Add a pointer to the ksm page into struct stable_node, holding a reference
to the page while the node exists. Put a pointer to the stable_node into
the ksm page's ->mapping.
Then we don't need get_ksm_page() while traversing the stable tree: the
page to compare against is sure to be present and correct, even if it's no
longer visible through any of its existing rmap_items.
And we can handle the forked ksm page case more efficiently: no need to

Though we still do well to keep rmap_items in the unstable tree without a
separate tree_item at the node, for several reasons it becomes awkward to
keep rmap_items in the stable tree without a separate stable_node: lack of
space in the nicely-sized rmap_item, the need for an anchor as rmap_items
are removed, the need for a node even when temporarily no rmap_items are
attached to it.
So declare struct stable_node (rb_node to place it in the tree and
hlist_head for the rmap_items hanging off it), and convert stable tree
handling to use it: without yet taking advantage of it. Note how one
stable_tree_insert() of a node now has _two_ stable_tree_append()s of the
two rmap_items being merged.

Free up a pointer in struct rmap_item, by making the mm_slot's rmap_list a
singly-linked list: we always traverse that list sequentially, and we
don't even lose any prefetches (but should consider adding a few later).
Name it rmap_list throughout.
Do we need to free up that pointer? Not immediately, and in the end, we
could continue to avoid it with a union; but having done the conversion,
let's keep it this way, since there's no downside, and maybe we'll want
more in future (struct rmap_item is a cache-friendly 32 bytes on 32-bit

There is no need for replace_page() to calculate a write-protected prot
vm_page_prot must already be write-protected for an anonymous page (see

There is no need for try_to_merge_one_page() to get_page and put_page on

them.
But some instinct makes me move try_to_merge_one_page()'s unlock_page of

1) Old days, shrink_zone()'s slowness was mainly caused by stupid io-throttle
at no i/o congestion.
but current shrink_zone() is sane, not slow.
2) shrink_all_zone() try to shrink all pages at a time. but it doesn't works
fine on numa system.

System has 4GB memory and each node have 2GB. and hibernate need 1GB.

steal 500MB from each node.
shrink_all_zones)

Oh, Cache balancing logic was broken. ;)
Unfortunately, Desktop system moved ahead NUMA at nowadays.
(Side note, if hibernate require 2GB, shrink_all_zones() never success
on above machine)
3) if the node has several I/O flighting pages, shrink_all_zones() makes
pretty bad result.
schenario) hibernate need 1GB
1) shrink_all_zones() try to reclaim 1GB from Node-0
2) but it only reclaimed 990MB
3) stupidly, shrink_all_zones() try to reclaim 1GB from Node-1
4) it reclaimed 990MB
Oh, well. it reclaimed twice much than required.
In the other hand, current shrink_zone() has sane baling out logic.
then, it doesn't make overkill reclaim. then, we lost shrink_zones()'s risk.
4) SplitLRU VM always keep active/inactive ratio very carefully. inactive list only
shrinking break its assumption. it makes unnecessary OOM risk. it obviously suboptimal.
Now, shrink_all_memory() is only the wrapper function of do_try_to_free_pages().
it bring good reviewability and debuggability, and solve above problems.
side note: Reclaim logic unificication makes two good side effect.
- Fix recursive reclaim bug on shrink_all_memory().
it did forgot to use PF_MEMALLOC. it mean the system be able to stuck into deadlock.
- Now, shrink_all_memory() got lockdep awareness. it bring good debuggability.

When do_nonlinear_fault() realizes that the page table must have been
corrupted for it to have been called, it does print_bad_pte() and returns
... VM_FAULT_OOM, which is hard to understand.
It made some sense when I did it for 2.6.15, when do_page_fault() just
killed the current process; but nowadays it lets the OOM killer decide who
to kill - so page table corruption in one process would be liable to kill
another.
Change it to return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS instead: that doesn't guarantee that
the process will be killed, but is good enough for such a rare
abnormality, accompanied as it is by the "BUG: Bad page map" message.
And recent HWPOISON work has copied that code into do_swap_page(), when it
finds an impossible swap entry: fix that to VM_FAULT_SIGBUS too.

CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK adds 12 or 16 bytes to a 32- or 64-bit spinlock_t,
and CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC adds another 12 or 24 bytes to it: lockdep
enables both of those, and CONFIG_LOCK_STAT adds 8 or 16 bytes to that.
When 2.6.15 placed the split page table lock inside struct page (usually
sized 32 or 56 bytes), only CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK was a possibility, and
we ignored the enlargement (but fitted in CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK's 4 by
letting the spinlock_t occupy both page->private and page->mapping).
Should these debugging options be allowed to double the size of a struct
page, when only one minority use of the page (as a page table) needs to
fit a spinlock in there? Perhaps not.
Take the easy way out: switch off SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS when DEBUG_SPINLOCK or
DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is in force. I've sometimes tried to be cleverer,
kmallocing a cacheline for the spinlock when it doesn't fit, but given up
each time. Falling back to mm->page_table_lock (as we do when ptlock is
not split) lets lockdep check out the strictest path anyway.
And now that some arches allow 8192 cpus, use 999999 for infinity.
(What has this got to do with KSM swapping? It doesn't care about the
size of struct page, but may care about random junk in page->mapping - to
be explained separately later.)

KSM swapping will know where page_referenced_one() and try_to_unmap_one()
should look. It could hack page->index to get them to do what it wants,
but it seems cleaner now to pass the address down to them.
Make the same change to page_mkclean_one(), since it follows the same
pattern; but there's no real need in its case.

Remove three degrees of obfuscation, left over from when we had
CONFIG_UNEVICTABLE_LRU. MLOCK_PAGES is CONFIG_HAVE_MLOCKED_PAGE_BIT is
CONFIG_HAVE_MLOCK is CONFIG_MMU. rmap.o (and memory-failure.o) are only
built when CONFIG_MMU, so don't need such conditions at all.
Somehow, I feel no compulsion to remove the CONFIG_HAVE_MLOCK* lines from
169 defconfigs: leave those to evolve in due course.

There's contorted mlock/munlock handling in try_to_unmap_anon() and
try_to_unmap_file(), which we'd prefer not to repeat for KSM swapping.
Simplify it by moving it all down into try_to_unmap_one().
One thing is then lost, try_to_munlock()'s distinction between when no vma
holds the page mlocked, and when a vma does mlock it, but we could not get
mmap_sem to set the page flag. But its only caller takes no interest in
that distinction (and is better testing SWAP_MLOCK anyway), so let's keep
the code simple and return SWAP_AGAIN for both cases.
try_to_unmap_file()'s TTU_MUNLOCK nonlinear handling was particularly
amusing: once unravelled, it turns out to have been choosing between two
different ways of doing the same nothing. Ah, no, one way was actually
returning SWAP_FAIL when it meant to return SWAP_SUCCESS.

At present we define PageAnon(page) by the low PAGE_MAPPING_ANON bit set
in page->mapping, with the higher bits a pointer to the anon_vma; and have
defined PageKsm(page) as that with NULL anon_vma.
But KSM swapping will need to store a pointer there: so in preparation for
that, now define PAGE_MAPPING_FLAGS as the low two bits, including
PAGE_MAPPING_KSM (always set along with PAGE_MAPPING_ANON, until some
other use for the bit emerges).
Declare page_rmapping(page) to return the pointer part of page->mapping,
and page_anon_vma(page) to return the anon_vma pointer when that's what it
is. Use these in a few appropriate places: notably, unuse_vma() has been
testing page->mapping, but is better to be testing page_anon_vma() (cases
may be added in which flag bits are set without any pointer).

If reclaim fails to make sufficient progress, the priority is raised.
Once the priority is higher, kswapd starts waiting on congestion.
However, if the zone is below the min watermark then kswapd needs to
continue working without delay as there is a danger of an increased rate
of GFP_ATOMIC allocation failure.
This patch changes the conditions under which kswapd waits on congestion
by only going to sleep if the min watermarks are being met.

After kswapd balances all zones in a pgdat, it goes to sleep. In the
event of no IO congestion, kswapd can go to sleep very shortly after the
high watermark was reached. If there are a constant stream of allocations
from parallel processes, it can mean that kswapd went to sleep too quickly
and the high watermark is not being maintained for sufficient length time.
This patch makes kswapd go to sleep as a two-stage process. It first
tries to sleep for HZ/10. If it is woken up by another process or the
high watermark is no longer met, it's considered a premature sleep and
kswapd continues work. Otherwise it goes fully to sleep.
This adds more counters to distinguish between fast and slow breaches of
watermarks. A "fast" premature sleep is one where the low watermark was
hit in a very short time after kswapd going to sleep. A "slow" premature
sleep indicates that the high watermark was breached after a very short
interval.
