Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

KOSAKI Motohiro 93e4a89a8c mm: restore zone->all_unreclaimable to independence word
commit e815af95 ("change all_unreclaimable zone member to flags") changed
all_unreclaimable member to bit flag.  But it had an undesireble side
effect.  free_one_page() is one of most hot path in linux kernel and
increasing atomic ops in it can reduce kernel performance a bit.

Thus, this patch revert such commit partially. at least
all_unreclaimable shouldn't share memory word with other zone flags.

Christoph Lameter 99dcc3e5a9 this_cpu: Page allocator conversion
Use the per cpu allocator functionality to avoid per cpu arrays in struct zone.

This drastically reduces the size of struct zone for systems with large
amounts of processors and allows placement of critical variables of struct
zone in one cacheline even on very large systems.

Another effect is that the pagesets of one processor are placed near one
another. If multiple pagesets from different zones fit into one cacheline
then additional cacheline fetches can be avoided on the hot paths when
allocating memory from multiple zones.

Bootstrap becomes simpler if we use the same scheme for UP, SMP, NUMA. #ifdefs
are reduced and we can drop the zone_pcp macro.

Hotplug handling is also simplified since cpu alloc can bring up and
shut down cpu areas for a specific cpu as a whole. So there is no need to
allocate or free individual pagesets.

V7-V8:
- Explain chicken egg dilemmna with percpu allocator.

V4-V5:
- Fix up cases where per_cpu_ptr is called before irq disable
- Integrate the bootstrap logic that was separate before.

tj: Build failure in pageset_cpuup_callback() due to missing ret
    variable fixed.

KOSAKI Motohiro bb3ab59683 vmscan: stop kswapd waiting on congestion when the min watermark is not being met
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.

Mel Gorman f50de2d381 vmscan: have kswapd sleep for a short interval and double check it should be asleep
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.

KOSAKI Motohiro a731286de6 mm: vmstat: add isolate pages
If the system is running a heavy load of processes then concurrent reclaim
can isolate a large number of pages from the LRU. /proc/vmstat and the

This has been observed during process fork bomb testing (mstctl11 in LTP).

This patch shows the information about isolated pages.

KOSAKI Motohiro 4b02108ac1 mm: oom analysis: add shmem vmstat
Recently we encountered OOM problems due to memory use of the GEM cache.
Generally a large amuont of Shmem/Tmpfs pages tend to create a memory
shortage problem.

We often use the following calculation to determine the amount of shmem
pages:

shmem = NR_ACTIVE_ANON + NR_INACTIVE_ANON - NR_ANON_PAGES

however the expression does not consider isolated and mlocked pages.

This patch adds explicit accounting for pages used by shmem and tmpfs.

Mel Gorman 24cf72518c vmscan: count the number of times zone_reclaim() scans and fails
On NUMA machines, the administrator can configure zone_reclaim_mode that
is a more targetted form of direct reclaim.  On machines with large NUMA
distances for example, a zone_reclaim_mode defaults to 1 meaning that
clean unmapped pages will be reclaimed if the zone watermarks are not
being met.

There is a heuristic that determines if the scan is worthwhile but it is
possible that the heuristic will fail and the CPU gets tied up scanning
uselessly.  Detecting the situation requires some guesswork and
experimentation so this patch adds a counter "zreclaim_failed" to
/proc/vmstat.  If during high CPU utilisation this counter is increasing
rapidly, then the resolution to the problem may be to set
/proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode to 0.

Wu Fengguang 08d9ae7cbb vmscan: don't export nr_saved_scan in /proc/zoneinfo
The lru->nr_saved_scan's are not meaningful counters for even kernel
developers.  They typically are smaller than 32 and are always 0 for large
lists.  So remove them from /proc/zoneinfo.

Hopefully this interface change won't break too many scripts.
/proc/zoneinfo is too unstructured to be script friendly, and I wonder the
affected scripts - if there are any - are still bleeding since the not
long ago commit "vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file sets", which
also touched the "scanned" line :)

If we are to re-export accumulated vmscan counts in the future, they can
go to new lines in /proc/zoneinfo instead of the current form, or to
/sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo?

Mel Gorman eb33575cf6 [ARM] Double check memmap is actually valid with a memmap has unexpected holes V2
pfn_valid() is meant to be able to tell if a given PFN has valid memmap
associated with it or not. In FLATMEM, it is expected that holes always
have valid memmap as long as there is valid PFNs either side of the hole.
In SPARSEMEM, it is assumed that a valid section has a memmap for the
entire section.

However, ARM and maybe other embedded architectures in the future free
memmap backing holes to save memory on the assumption the memmap is never
used. The page_zone linkages are then broken even though pfn_valid()
returns true. A walker of the full memmap must then do this additional
check to ensure the memmap they are looking at is sane by making sure the
zone and PFN linkages are still valid. This is expensive, but walkers of
the full memmap are extremely rare.

This was caught before for FLATMEM and hacked around but it hits again for
SPARSEMEM because the page_zone linkages can look ok where the PFN linkages
are totally screwed. This looks like a hatchet job but the reality is that
any clean solution would end up consumning all the memory saved by punching
these unexpected holes in the memmap. For example, we tried marking the
memmap within the section invalid but the section size exceeds the size of
the hole in most cases so pfn_valid() starts returning false where valid
memmap exists. Shrinking the size of the section would increase memory
consumption offsetting the gains.

This patch identifies when an architecture is punching unexpected holes
in the memmap that the memory model cannot automatically detect and sets
ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL. At the moment, this is restricted to EP93xx
which is the model sub-architecture this has been reported on but may expand
later. When set, walkers of the full memmap must call memmap_valid_within()
for each PFN and passing in what it expects the page and zone to be for
that PFN. If it finds the linkages to be broken, it assumes the memmap is
invalid for that PFN.

Lee Schermerhorn bbfd28eee9 unevictable lru: add event counting with statistics
Fix to unevictable-lru-page-statistics.patch

Add unevictable lru infrastructure vm events to the statistics patch.
Rename the "NORECL_" and "noreclaim_" symbols and text strings to
"UNEVICTABLE_" and "unevictable_", respectively.

Currently, both the infrastructure and the mlocked pages event are
added by a single patch later in the series.  This makes it difficult
to add or rework the incremental patches.  The events actually "belong"
with the stats, so pull them up to here.

Also, restore the event counting to putback_lru_page().  This was removed
from previous patch in series where it was "misplaced".  The actual events
weren't defined that early.

Rik van Riel 556adecba1 vmscan: second chance replacement for anonymous pages
We avoid evicting and scanning anonymous pages for the most part, but
under some workloads we can end up with most of memory filled with
anonymous pages.  At that point, we suddenly need to clear the referenced
bits on all of memory, which can take ages on very large memory systems.

We can reduce the maximum number of pages that need to be scanned by not
taking the referenced state into account when deactivating an anonymous
page.  After all, every anonymous page starts out referenced, so why
check?

If an anonymous page gets referenced again before it reaches the end of
the inactive list, we move it back to the active list.

To keep the maximum amount of necessary work reasonable, we scale the
active to inactive ratio with the size of memory, using the formula
active:inactive ratio = sqrt(memory in GB * 10).

Kswapd CPU use now seems to scale by the amount of pageout bandwidth,
instead of by the amount of memory present in the system.

Rik van Riel 4f98a2fee8 vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file sets
Split the LRU lists in two, one set for pages that are backed by real file
systems ("file") and one for pages that are backed by memory and swap
("anon").  The latter includes tmpfs.

The advantage of doing this is that the VM will not have to scan over lots
of anonymous pages (which we generally do not want to swap out), just to
find the page cache pages that it should evict.

This patch has the infrastructure and a basic policy to balance how much
we scan the anon lists and how much we scan the file lists.  The big
policy changes are in separate patches.

Christoph Lameter b69408e88b vmscan: Use an indexed array for LRU variables
Currently we are defining explicit variables for the inactive and active
list.  An indexed array can be more generic and avoid repeating similar
code in several places in the reclaim code.

We are saving a few bytes in terms of code size:

Before:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
4097753  573120 4092484 8763357  85b7dd vmlinux

After:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
4097729  573120 4092484 8763333  85b7c5 vmlinux

Having an easy way to add new lru lists may ease future work on the
reclaim code.

Mel Gorman e80d6a2482 [ARM] Skip memory holes in FLATMEM when reading /proc/pagetypeinfo
Ordinarily, memory holes in flatmem still have a valid memmap and is safe
to use. However, an architecture (ARM) frees up the memmap backing memory
holes on the assumption it is never used. /proc/pagetypeinfo reads the
whole range of pages in a zone believing that the memmap is valid and that
pfn_valid will return false if it is not. On ARM, freeing the memmap breaks
the page->zone linkages even though pfn_valid() returns true and the kernel
can oops shortly afterwards due to accessing a bogus struct zone *.

This patch lets architectures say when FLATMEM can have holes in the
memmap. Rather than an expensive check for valid memory, /proc/pagetypeinfo
will confirm that the page linkages are still valid by checking page->zone
is still the expected zone. The lookup of page_zone is safe as there is a
limited range of memory that is accessed when calling page_zone.  Even if
page_zone happens to return the correct zone, the impact is that the counters
in /proc/pagetypeinfo are slightly off but fragmentation monitoring is
unlikely to be relevant on an embedded system.

Miklos Szeredi fc3ba692a4 mm: Add NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP counter
Fuse will use temporary buffers to write back dirty data from memory mappings
(normal writes are done synchronously).  This is needed, because there cannot
be any guarantee about the time in which a write will complete.

By using temporary buffers, from the MM's point if view the page is written
back immediately.  If the writeout was due to memory pressure, this
effectively migrates data from a full zone to a less full zone.

This patch adds a new counter (NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP) for the number of pages used
as temporary buffers.

Adam Litke 3b11630063 Subject: [PATCH] hugetlb: vmstat events for huge page allocations
Allocating huge pages directly from the buddy allocator is not guaranteed to
succeed.  Success depends on several factors (such as the amount of physical
memory available and the level of fragmentation).  With the addition of
dynamic hugetlb pool resizing, allocations can occur much more frequently.
For these reasons it is desirable to keep track of huge page allocation
successes and failures.

Add two new vmstat entries to track huge page allocations that succeed and
fail.  The presence of the two entries is contingent upon CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE
being enabled.

Mel Gorman 18ea7e710d mm: remember what the preferred zone is for zone_statistics
On NUMA, zone_statistics() is used to record events like numa hit, miss and
foreign.  It assumes that the first zone in a zonelist is the preferred zone.
When multiple zonelists are replaced by one that is filtered, this is no
longer the case.

This patch records what the preferred zone is rather than assuming the first
zone in the zonelist is it.  This simplifies the reading of later patches in
this set.

Christoph Lameter 3dfa5721f1 Page allocator: get rid of the list of cold pages
We have repeatedly discussed if the cold pages still have a point. There is
one way to join the two lists: Use a single list and put the cold pages at the
end and the hot pages at the beginning. That way a single list can serve for
both types of allocations.

The discussion of the RFC for this and Mel's measurements indicate that
there may not be too much of a point left to having separate lists for
hot and cold pages (see http://marc.info/?t=119492914200001&r=1&w=2).

1. Add comments explaining how the function can be called.

2. Collect global diffs in a local array and only spill
   them once into the global counters when the zone scan
   is finished. This means that we only touch each global
   counter once instead of each time we fold cpu counters
   into zone counters.

David Rientjes e815af95f9 oom: change all_unreclaimable zone member to flags
Convert the int all_unreclaimable member of struct zone to unsigned long
flags.  This can now be used to specify several different zone flags such as
all_unreclaimable and reclaim_in_progress, which can now be removed and
converted to a per-zone flag.

Flags are set and cleared as follows:

	zone_set_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag)
	zone_clear_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag)

Defines the first zone flags, ZONE_ALL_UNRECLAIMABLE and ZONE_RECLAIM_LOCKED,
which have the same semantics as the old zone->all_unreclaimable and
zone->reclaim_in_progress, respectively.  Also converts all current users that
set or clear either flag to use the new interface.

Helper functions are defined to test the flags:

	int zone_is_all_unreclaimable(const struct zone *zone)
	int zone_is_reclaim_locked(const struct zone *zone)

All flag operators are of the atomic variety because there are currently
readers that are implemented that do not take zone->lock.

Mel Gorman 467c996c1e Print out statistics in relation to fragmentation avoidance to /proc/pagetypeinfo
This patch provides fragmentation avoidance statistics via /proc/pagetypeinfo.
 The information is collected only on request so there is no runtime overhead.
 The statistics are in three parts:

The first part prints information on the size of blocks that pages are
being grouped on and looks like

Page block order: 10
Pages per block:  1024

The second part is a more detailed version of /proc/buddyinfo and looks like

Free pages count per migrate type at order       0      1      2      3      4      5      6      7      8      9     10

The third part looks like

Number of blocks type     Unmovable  Reclaimable      Movable      Reserve
Node 0, zone      DMA            0            1            2            1
Node 0, zone   Normal            3           17           94            4

To walk the zones within a node with interrupts disabled, walk_zones_in_node()
is introduced and shared between /proc/buddyinfo, /proc/zoneinfo and
/proc/pagetypeinfo to reduce code duplication.  It seems specific to what
vmstat.c requires but could be broken out as a general utility function in
mmzone.c if there were other other potential users.

Remove fs.h from mm.h. For this,
 1) Uninline vma_wants_writenotify(). It's pretty huge anyway.
 2) Add back fs.h or less bloated headers (err.h) to files that need it.

As result, on x86_64 allyesconfig, fs.h dependencies cut down from 3929 files
rebuilt down to 3444 (-12.3%).

Mel Gorman 2a1e274acf Create the ZONE_MOVABLE zone
The following 8 patches against 2.6.20-mm2 create a zone called ZONE_MOVABLE
that is only usable by allocations that specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and
__GFP_MOVABLE.  This has the effect of keeping all non-movable pages within a
single memory partition while allowing movable allocations to be satisfied
from either partition.  The patches may be applied with the list-based
anti-fragmentation patches that groups pages together based on mobility.

The size of the zone is determined by a kernelcore= parameter specified at
boot-time.  This specifies how much memory is usable by non-movable
allocations and the remainder is used for ZONE_MOVABLE.  Any range of pages
within ZONE_MOVABLE can be released by migrating the pages or by reclaiming.

When selecting a zone to take pages from for ZONE_MOVABLE, there are two
things to consider.  First, only memory from the highest populated zone is
used for ZONE_MOVABLE.  On the x86, this is probably going to be ZONE_HIGHMEM
but it would be ZONE_DMA on ppc64 or possibly ZONE_DMA32 on x86_64.  Second,
the amount of memory usable by the kernel will be spread evenly throughout
NUMA nodes where possible.  If the nodes are not of equal size, the amount of
memory usable by the kernel on some nodes may be greater than others.

By default, the zone is not as useful for hugetlb allocations because they are
pinned and non-migratable (currently at least).  A sysctl is provided that
allows huge pages to be allocated from that zone.  This means that the huge
page pool can be resized to the size of ZONE_MOVABLE during the lifetime of
the system assuming that pages are not mlocked.  Despite huge pages being
non-movable, we do not introduce additional external fragmentation of note as
huge pages are always the largest contiguous block we care about.

Credit goes to Andy Whitcroft for catching a large variety of problems during
review of the patches.

This patch creates an additional zone, ZONE_MOVABLE.  This zone is only usable
by allocations which specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE.  Hot-added
memory continues to be placed in their existing destination as there is no
mechanism to redirect them to a specific zone.
