Figo.zhang 5e2f89b5d5 mempool.c: clean up type-casting
clean up type-casting twice.  "size_t" is typedef as "unsigned long" in
64-bit system, and "unsigned int" in 32-bit system, and the intermediate
cast to 'long' is pointless.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 4bfc44958e mm: make set_mempolicy(MPOL_INTERLEAV) N_HIGH_MEMORY aware
At first, init_task's mems_allowed is initialized as this.
 init_task->mems_allowed == node_state[N_POSSIBLE]

And cpuset's top_cpuset mask is initialized as this
 top_cpuset->mems_allowed = node_state[N_HIGH_MEMORY]

Before 2.6.29:
policy's mems_allowed is initialized as this.

  1. update tasks->mems_allowed by its cpuset->mems_allowed.
  2. policy->mems_allowed = nodes_and(tasks->mems_allowed, user's mask)

Updating task's mems_allowed in reference to top_cpuset's one.
cpuset's mems_allowed is aware of N_HIGH_MEMORY, always.

In 2.6.30: After commit 58568d2a82
("cpuset,mm: update tasks' mems_allowed in time"), policy's mems_allowed
is initialized as this.

  1. policy->mems_allowd = nodes_and(task->mems_allowed, user's mask)

Here, if task is in top_cpuset, task->mems_allowed is not updated from
init's one.  Assume user excutes command as #numactrl --interleave=all
,....

  policy->mems_allowd = nodes_and(N_POSSIBLE, ALL_SET_MASK)

Then, policy's mems_allowd can includes a possible node, which has no pgdat.

MPOL's INTERLEAVE just scans nodemask of task->mems_allowd and access this
directly.

  NODE_DATA(nid)->zonelist even if NODE_DATA(nid)==NULL

Then, what's we need is making policy->mems_allowed be aware of
N_HIGH_MEMORY.  This patch does that.  But to do so, extra nodemask will
be on statck.  Because I know cpumask has a new interface of
CPUMASK_ALLOC(), I added it to node.

This patch stands on old behavior.  But I feel this fix itself is just a
Band-Aid.  But to do fundametal fix, we have to take care of memory
hotplug and it takes time.  (task->mems_allowd should be N_HIGH_MEMORY, I
think.)

mpol_set_nodemask() should be aware of N_HIGH_MEMORY and policy's nodemask
should be includes only online nodes.

In old behavior, this is guaranteed by frequent reference to cpuset's
code.  Now, most of them are removed and mempolicy has to check it by
itself.

To do check, a few nodemask_t will be used for calculating nodemask.  But,
size of nodemask_t can be big and it's not good to allocate them on stack.

Now, cpumask_t has CPUMASK_ALLOC/FREE an easy code for get scratch area.
NODEMASK_ALLOC/FREE shoudl be there.

Mel Gorman 1fc28b70fe page-allocator: allow too high-order warning messages to be suppressed with __GFP_NOWARN
The page allocator warns once when an order >= MAX_ORDER is specified.
This is to catch callers of the allocator that are always falling back to
their worst-case when it was not expected.  However, there are cases where
the caller is behaving correctly but cannot suppress the warning.  This
patch allows the warning to be suppressed by the callers by specifying
__GFP_NOWARN.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 887032670d cgroup avoid permanent sleep at rmdir
After commit ec64f51545 ("cgroup: fix
frequent -EBUSY at rmdir"), cgroup's rmdir (especially against memcg)
doesn't return -EBUSY by temporary ref counts.  That commit expects all
refs after pre_destroy() is temporary but...it wasn't.  Then, rmdir can
wait permanently.  This patch tries to fix that and change followings.

 - set CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag before pre_destroy().
 - clear CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag when the subsys finds racy case.
   if there are sleeping ones, wakes them up.
 - rmdir() sleeps only when CGRP_WAIT_ON_RMDIR flag is set.

Eric Sandeen e4c6f8bed0 hugetlbfs: fix i_blocks accounting
As reported in Red Hat bz #509671, i_blocks for files on hugetlbfs get
accounting wrong when doing something like:

   $ > foo
   $ date  > foo
   date: write error: Invalid argument
   $ /usr/bin/stat foo
     File: `foo'
     Size: 0          Blocks: 18446744073709547520 IO Block: 2097152 regular
...

This is because hugetlb_unreserve_pages() is unconditionally removing
blocks_per_huge_page(h) on each call rather than using the freed amount.
If there were 0 blocks, it goes negative, resulting in the above.

This is a regression from commit a551643895
("hugetlb: modular state for hugetlb page size")

which did:

-	inode->i_blocks -= BLOCKS_PER_HUGEPAGE * freed;
+	inode->i_blocks -= blocks_per_huge_page(h);

so just put back the freed multiplier, and it's all happy again.

David Rientjes 6583bb64fc mm: avoid endless looping for oom killed tasks
If a task is oom killed and still cannot find memory when trying with
no watermarks, it's better to fail the allocation attempt than to loop
endlessly.  Direct reclaim has already failed and the oom killer will
be a no-op since current has yet to die, so there is no other
alternative for allocations that are not __GFP_NOFAIL.

Mel Gorman e084b2d95e page-allocator: preserve PFN ordering when __GFP_COLD is set
Fix a post-2.6.24 performace regression caused by
3dfa5721f1 ("page-allocator: preserve PFN
ordering when __GFP_COLD is set").

Narayanan reports "The regression is around 15%.  There is no disk controller
as our setup is based on Samsung OneNAND used as a memory mapped device on a
OMAP2430 based board."

The page allocator tries to preserve contiguous PFN ordering when returning
pages such that repeated callers to the allocator have a strong chance of
getting physically contiguous pages, particularly when external fragmentation
is low.  However, of the bulk of the allocations have __GFP_COLD set as they
are due to aio_read() for example, then the PFNs are in reverse PFN order.
This can cause performance degration when used with IO controllers that could
have merged the requests.

This patch attempts to preserve the contiguous ordering of PFNs for users of
__GFP_COLD.

Alan Jenkins dddac6a7b4 PM / Hibernate: Replace bdget call with simple atomic_inc of i_count
Create bdgrab().  This function copies an existing reference to a
block_device.  It is safe to call from any context.

Hibernation code wishes to copy a reference to the active swap device.
Right now it calls bdget() under a spinlock, but this is wrong because
bdget() can sleep.  It doesn't need a full bdget() because we already
hold a reference to active swap devices (and the spinlock protects
against swapoff).

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 9e1b32caa5 mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()
mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()

Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture
will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when
freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works.

Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole
virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE
page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry
RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct
entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted,
we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions.

The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks
too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and
almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the
argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.

Catalin Marinas 2587362eaf kmemleak: Scan objects allocated during a scanning episode
Many of the false positives in kmemleak happen on busy systems where
objects are allocated during a kmemleak scanning episode. These objects
aren't scanned by default until the next memory scan. When such object
is added, for example, at the head of a list, it is possible that all
the other objects in the list become unreferenced until the next scan.

This patch adds checking for newly allocated objects at the end of the
scan and repeats the scanning on these objects. If Linux allocates
new objects at a higher rate than their scanning, it stops after a
predefined number of passes.

In testing a backport of the write_begin/write_end AOPs, a 10% re-read
regression was noticed when running iozone.  This regression was
introduced because the old AOPs would always do a mark_page_accessed(page)
after the commit_write, but when the new AOPs where introduced, the only
place this was kept was in pagecache_write_end().

This patch does the same thing in the generic case as what is done in
pagecache_write_end(), which is just to mark the page accessed before we
do write_end().

kmemleak: 834 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)

The bit causing it is highly dubious:

static void scan_yield(void)
{
        might_sleep();

        if (time_is_before_eq_jiffies(next_scan_yield)) {
                schedule();
                next_scan_yield = jiffies + jiffies_scan_yield;
        }
}

It called deep inside the codepath and in a conditional way,
and that is what crapped up when one of the new scan_block()
uses grew a tasklist_lock dependency.

This minimal patch removes that yielding stuff and adds the
proper cond_resched().

The background scanning thread could probably also be reniced
to +10.

Yinghai Lu 66918dcdf9 x86: only clear node_states for 64bit

|    page-allocator: clear N_HIGH_MEMORY map before we set it again
|
|    SRAT tables may contains nodes of very small size.  The arch code may
|    decide to not activate such a node.  However, currently the early boot
|    code sets N_HIGH_MEMORY for such nodes.  These nodes therefore seem to be
|    active although these nodes have no present pages.
|
|    For 64bit N_HIGH_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY, so that works for 64 bit too

unintentionally and incorrectly clears the cpuset.mems cgroup attribute on
an i386 kvm guest, meaning that cpuset.mems can not be used.

Fix this by only clearing node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] for 64bit only.
and need to do save/restore for that in find_zone_movable_pfn

Richard Kennedy d7831a0bdf mm: prevent balance_dirty_pages() from doing too much work
balance_dirty_pages can overreact and move all of the dirty pages to
writeback unnecessarily.

balance_dirty_pages makes its decision to throttle based on the number of
dirty plus writeback pages that are over the calculated limit,so it will
continue to move pages even when there are plenty of pages in writeback
and less than the threshold still dirty.

This allows it to overshoot its limits and move all the dirty pages to
writeback while waiting for the drives to catch up and empty the writeback
list.

A simple fio test easily demonstrates this problem.

fio --name=f1 --directory=/disk1 --size=2G -rw=write --name=f2 --directory=/disk2 --size=1G --rw=write --startdelay=10

This is the simplest fix I could find, but I'm not entirely sure that it
alone will be enough for all cases.  But it certainly is an improvement on
my desktop machine writing to 2 disks.

Do we need something more for machines with large arrays where
bdi_threshold * number_of_drives is greater than the dirty_ratio ?

Catalin Marinas acf4968ec9 kmemleak: Slightly change the policy on newly allocated objects
Newly allocated objects are more likely to be reported as false
positives. Kmemleak ignores the reporting of objects younger than 5
seconds. However, this age was calculated after the memory scanning
completed which usually takes longer than 5 seconds. This patch
make the minimum object age calculation in relation to the start of the
memory scanning.

patch also adds support for "echo scan > debug/kmemleak" to trigger an
intermediate memory scan and eliminates the kmemleak_mutex (scan_mutex

Paul Mundt dfc2f91ac2 nommu: provide follow_pfn().
With the introduction of follow_pfn() as an exported symbol, modules have
begun making use of it. Unfortunately this was not reflected on nommu at
the time, so the in-tree users have subsequently all blown up with link
errors there.

This provides a simple follow_pfn() that just returns addr >> PAGE_SHIFT,
which will do the right thing on nommu. There is no need to do range
checking within the vma, as the find_vma() case will already take care of
this.

Catalin Marinas a9d9058aba kmemleak: Allow the early log buffer to be configurable.
(feature suggested by Sergey Senozhatsky)

Kmemleak needs to track all the memory allocations but some of these
happen before kmemleak is initialised. These are stored in an internal
buffer which may be exceeded in some kernel configurations. This patch
adds a configuration option with a default value of 400 and also removes
the stack dump when the early log buffer is exceeded.

Traditionally, we never failed small orders (even regardless of any

small allocations that could fit in a single page (in order to avoid
excessive fragmentation).

Maybe we should remove this warning entirely, but before making that
judgement, at least limit it to bigger allocations.

After downing/upping a cpu, an attempt to set
/proc/sys/vm/percpu_pagelist_fraction results in an oops in
percpu_pagelist_fraction_sysctl_handler().

If a processor is downed then we need to set the pageset pointer back to
the boot pageset.

Updates of the high water marks should not access pagesets of unpopulated
zones (those pointer go to the boot pagesets which would be no longer
functional if their size would be increased beyond zero).
