mempool modifies gfp_mask so that the backing allocator doesn't try too
hard or trigger warning message when there's pool to fall back on. In
addition, for the first try, it removes __GFP_WAIT and IO, so that it
doesn't trigger reclaim or wait when allocation can be fulfilled from
pool; however, when that allocation fails and pool is empty too, it waits
for the pool to be replenished before retrying.
Allocation which could have succeeded after a bit of reclaim has to wait
on the reserved items and it's not like mempool doesn't retry with
__GFP_WAIT and IO. It just does that *after* someone returns an element,
pointlessly delaying things.
Fix it by retrying immediately if the first round of allocation attempts
w/o __GFP_WAIT and IO fails.

mempool_destroy() is a thin wrapper around free_pool(). The only thing it
adds is BUG_ON(pool->curr_nr != pool->min_nr). The intention seems to be
to enforce that all allocated elements are freed; however, the BUG_ON()
can't achieve that (it doesn't know anything about objects above min_nr)
and incorrect as mempool_resize() is allowed to leave the pool extended
but not filled. Furthermore, panicking is way worse than any memory leak
and there are better debug tools to track memory leaks.
Drop the BUG_ON() from mempool_destory() and as that leaves the function
identical to free_pool(), replace it.

mempool_alloc/free() use undocumented smp_mb()'s. The code is slightly
broken and misleading.
The lockless part is in mempool_free(). It wants to determine whether the
item being freed needs to be returned to the pool or backing allocator
without grabbing pool->lock. Two things need to be guaranteed for correct
operation.
1. pool->curr_nr + #allocated should never dip below pool->min_nr.
2. Waiters shouldn't be left dangling.
For #1, The only necessary condition is that curr_nr visible at free is
from after the allocation of the element being freed (details in the
comment). For most cases, this is true without any barrier but there can
be fringe cases where the allocated pointer is passed to the freeing task
without going through memory barriers. To cover this case, wmb is
necessary before returning from allocation and rmb is necessary before
reading curr_nr. IOW,
ALLOCATING TASK FREEING TASK
update pool state after alloc;
wmb();
pass pointer to freeing task;
read pointer;
rmb();
read pool state to free;
The current code doesn't have wmb after pool update during allocation and
may theoretically, on machines where unlock doesn't behave as full wmb,
lead to pool depletion and deadlock. smp_wmb() needs to be added after
successful allocation from reserved elements and smp_mb() in
mempool_free() can be replaced with smp_rmb().
For #2, the waiter needs to add itself to waitqueue and then check the
wait condition and the waker needs to update the wait condition and then
wake up. Because waitqueue operations always go through full spinlock
synchronization, there is no need for extra memory barriers.
Furthermore, mempool_alloc() is already holding pool->lock when it decides
that it needs to wait. There is no reason to do unlock - add waitqueue -
test condition again. It can simply add itself to waitqueue while holding
pool->lock and then unlock and sleep.
This patch adds smp_wmb() after successful allocation from reserved pool,
replaces smp_mb() in mempool_free() with smp_rmb() and extend pool->lock
over waitqueue addition. More importantly, it explains what memory
barriers do and how the lockless testing is correct.
-v2: Oleg pointed out that unlock doesn't imply wmb. Added explicit
smp_wmb() after successful allocation from reserved pool and
updated comments accordingly.

As a result, when freeing a page block, doing an explicit range check for
whether that block is within the node's range is redundant as the bitmap
is consulted anyway to see whether all pages in the block are unreserved.

oom_score_adj is used for guarding processes from OOM-Killer. One of
problem is that it's inherited at fork(). When a daemon set oom_score_adj
and make children, it's hard to know where the value is set.
This patch adds some tracepoints useful for debugging. This patch adds
3 trace points.
- creating new task
- renaming a task (exec)
- set oom_score_adj
To debug, users need to enable some trace pointer. Maybe filtering is useful as
# EVENT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/task/
# echo "oom_score_adj != 0" > $EVENT/task_newtask/filter
# echo "oom_score_adj != 0" > $EVENT/task_rename/filter
# echo 1 > $EVENT/enable
# EVENT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/oom/
# echo 1 > $EVENT/enable
output will be like this.
# grep oom /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

migrate was doing an rmap_walk with speculative lock-less access on
pagetables. That could lead it to not serializing properly against mremap
PT locks. But a second problem remains in the order of vmas in the
same_anon_vma list used by the rmap_walk.
If vma_merge succeeds in copy_vma, the src vma could be placed after the
dst vma in the same_anon_vma list. That could still lead to migrate
missing some pte.
This patch adds an anon_vma_moveto_tail() function to force the dst vma at
the end of the list before mremap starts to solve the problem.
If the mremap is very large and there are a lots of parents or childs
sharing the anon_vma root lock, this should still scale better than taking
the anon_vma root lock around every pte copy practically for the whole
duration of mremap.
Update: Hugh noticed special care is needed in the error path where
move_page_tables goes in the reverse direction, a second
anon_vma_moveto_tail() call is needed in the error path.
This program exercises the anon_vma_moveto_tail:

Commit 88f5acf88a ("mm: page allocator: adjust the per-cpu counter
threshold when memory is low") changed the form how free_pages is
calculated but it forgot that we used to do free_pages - ((1 << order) -
1) so we ended up with off-by-two when calculating free_pages.

The first entry of bdata->node_bootmem_map holds the data for
bdata->node_min_pfn up to bdata->node_min_pfn + BITS_PER_LONG - 1. So the
test for freeing all pages of a single map entry can be slightly relaxed.
Moreover use DIV_ROUND_UP in another place instead of open coding it.

The maximum number of dirty pages that exist in the system at any time is
determined by a number of pages considered dirtyable and a user-configured
percentage of those, or an absolute number in bytes.
This number of dirtyable pages is the sum of memory provided by all the
zones in the system minus their lowmem reserves and high watermarks, so
that the system can retain a healthy number of free pages without having
to reclaim dirty pages.
But there is a flaw in that we have a zoned page allocator which does not
care about the global state but rather the state of individual memory
zones. And right now there is nothing that prevents one zone from filling
up with dirty pages while other zones are spared, which frequently leads
to situations where kswapd, in order to restore the watermark of free
pages, does indeed have to write pages from that zone's LRU list. This
can interfere so badly with IO from the flusher threads that major
filesystems (btrfs, xfs, ext4) mostly ignore write requests from reclaim
already, taking away the VM's only possibility to keep such a zone
balanced, aside from hoping the flushers will soon clean pages from that
zone.
Enter per-zone dirty limits. They are to a zone's dirtyable memory what
the global limit is to the global amount of dirtyable memory, and try to
make sure that no single zone receives more than its fair share of the
globally allowed dirty pages in the first place. As the number of pages
considered dirtyable excludes the zones' lowmem reserves and high
watermarks, the maximum number of dirty pages in a zone is such that the
zone can always be balanced without requiring page cleaning.
As this is a placement decision in the page allocator and pages are
dirtied only after the allocation, this patch allows allocators to pass
__GFP_WRITE when they know in advance that the page will be written to and
become dirty soon. The page allocator will then attempt to allocate from
the first zone of the zonelist - which on NUMA is determined by the task's
NUMA memory policy - that has not exceeded its dirty limit.
At first glance, it would appear that the diversion to lower zones can
increase pressure on them, but this is not the case. With a full high
zone, allocations will be diverted to lower zones eventually, so it is
more of a shift in timing of the lower zone allocations. Workloads that
previously could fit their dirty pages completely in the higher zone may
be forced to allocate from lower zones, but the amount of pages that
"spill over" are limited themselves by the lower zones' dirty constraints,
and thus unlikely to become a problem.
For now, the problem of unfair dirty page distribution remains for NUMA
configurations where the zones allowed for allocation are in sum not big
enough to trigger the global dirty limits, wake up the flusher threads and
remedy the situation. Because of this, an allocation that could not
succeed on any of the considered zones is allowed to ignore the dirty
limits before going into direct reclaim or even failing the allocation,
until a future patch changes the global dirty throttling and flusher
thread activation so that they take individual zone states into account.

The next patch will introduce per-zone dirty limiting functions in
addition to the traditional global dirty limiting.
Rename determine_dirtyable_memory() to global_dirtyable_memory() before
adding the zone-specific version, and fix up its documentation.
Also, move the functions to determine the dirtyable memory and the
function to calculate the dirty limit based on that together so that their
relationship is more apparent and that they can be commented on as a
group.
