Jeff Layton 669abf4e55 vfs: make path_openat take a struct filename pointer
...and fix up the callers. For do_file_open_root, just declare a
struct filename on the stack and fill out the .name field. For
do_filp_open, make it also take a struct filename pointer, and fix up its
callers to call it appropriately.

For filp_open, add a variant that takes a struct filename pointer and turn
filp_open into a wrapper around it.

Jeff Layton 91a27b2a75 vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it
getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.

For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.

This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.

Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

Jiri Kosina 210ed9deff mm, slab: release slab_mutex earlier in kmem_cache_destroy()
Commit 1331e7a1bb ("rcu: Remove _rcu_barrier() dependency on
__stop_machine()") introduced slab_mutex -> cpu_hotplug.lock dependency
through kmem_cache_destroy() -> rcu_barrier() -> _rcu_barrier() ->
get_online_cpus().

Lockdep thinks that this might actually result in ABBA deadlock,
and reports it as below:

 other info that might help us debug this:

 Chain exists of:
   rcu_sched_state.barrier_mutex --> cpu_hotplug.lock --> slab_mutex

  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0                    CPU1
        ----                    ----
   lock(slab_mutex);
                                lock(cpu_hotplug.lock);
                                lock(slab_mutex);
   lock(rcu_sched_state.barrier_mutex);

  *** DEADLOCK ***
=== [ cut here ] ===

This is actually a false positive. Lockdep has no way of knowing the fact
that the ABBA can actually never happen, because of special semantics of
cpu_hotplug.refcount and its handling in cpu_hotplug_begin(); the mutual
exclusion there is not achieved through mutex, but through
cpu_hotplug.refcount.

The "neither cpu_up() nor cpu_down() will proceed past cpu_hotplug_begin()
until everyone who called get_online_cpus() will call put_online_cpus()"
semantics is totally invisible to lockdep.

This patch therefore moves the unlock of slab_mutex so that rcu_barrier()
is being called with it unlocked. It has two advantages:

- it slightly reduces hold time of slab_mutex; as it's used to protect
  the cachep list, it's not necessary to hold it over kmem_cache_free()
  call any more
- it silences the lockdep false positive warning, as it avoids lockdep ever
  learning about slab_mutex -> cpu_hotplug.lock dependency

Hugh Dickins 35c2a7f490 tmpfs,ceph,gfs2,isofs,reiserfs,xfs: fix fh_len checking
Fuzzing with trinity oopsed on the 1st instruction of shmem_fh_to_dentry(),
	u64 inum = fid->raw[2];
which is unhelpfully reported as at the end of shmem_alloc_inode():

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff880061cd3000

Right, tmpfs is being stupid to access fid->raw[2] before validating that
fh_len includes it: the buffer kmalloc'ed by do_sys_name_to_handle() may
fall at the end of a page, and the next page not be present.

But some other filesystems (ceph, gfs2, isofs, reiserfs, xfs) are being
careless about fh_len too, in fh_to_dentry() and/or fh_to_parent(), and
could oops in the same way: add the missing fh_len checks to those.

David Miller f5c8ad4728 mm: thp: Use more portable PMD clearing sequenece in zap_huge_pmd().
Invalidation sequences are handled in various ways on various
architectures.

One way, which sparc64 uses, is to let the set_*_at() functions accumulate
pending flushes into a per-cpu array.  Then the flush_tlb_range() et al.
calls process the pending TLB flushes.

In this regime, the __tlb_remove_*tlb_entry() implementations are
essentially NOPs.

The canonical PTE zap in mm/memory.c is:

			ptent = ptep_get_and_clear_full(mm, addr, pte,
							tlb->fullmm);
			tlb_remove_tlb_entry(tlb, pte, addr);

With a subsequent tlb_flush_mmu() if needed.

Mirror this in the THP PMD zapping using:

		orig_pmd = pmdp_get_and_clear(tlb->mm, addr, pmd);
		page = pmd_page(orig_pmd);
		tlb_remove_pmd_tlb_entry(tlb, pmd, addr);

And we properly accomodate TLB flush mechanims like the one described
above.

David Miller b113da6578 mm: Add and use update_mmu_cache_pmd() in transparent huge page code.
The transparent huge page code passes a PMD pointer in as the third
argument of update_mmu_cache(), which expects a PTE pointer.

This never got noticed because X86 implements update_mmu_cache() as a
macro and thus we don't get any type checking, and X86 is the only
architecture which supports transparent huge pages currently.

Before other architectures can support transparent huge pages properly we
need to add a new interface which will take a PMD pointer as the third
argument rather than a PTE pointer.

Yasuaki Ishimatsu d760afd4d2 memory-hotplug: suppress "Trying to free nonexistent resource <XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY>" warning
When our x86 box calls __remove_pages(), release_mem_region() shows many
warnings.  And x86 box cannot unregister iomem_resource.

  "Trying to free nonexistent resource <XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY>"

release_mem_region() has been changed to be called in each
PAGES_PER_SECTION by commit de7f0cba96 ("memory hotplug: release
memory regions in PAGES_PER_SECTION chunks").  Because powerpc registers
iomem_resource in each PAGES_PER_SECTION chunk.  But when I hot add
memory on x86 box, iomem_resource is register in each _CRS not
PAGES_PER_SECTION chunk.  So x86 box unregisters iomem_resource.

The patch fixes the problem.

Currently:

	#define MAP_SIZE	(4 << 30)	/* 4GB */

	void *ptr = mmap(NULL, MAP_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
			 MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0);
	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		$ grep Mlocked /proc/meminfo

	munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		$ grep Mlocked /proc/meminfo

David Rientjes b676b293fb mm, thp: fix mapped pages avoiding unevictable list on mlock
When a transparent hugepage is mapped and it is included in an mlock()
range, follow_page() incorrectly avoids setting the page's mlock bit and
moving it to the unevictable lru.

This is evident if you try to mlock(), munlock(), and then mlock() a
range again.  Currently:

	#define MAP_SIZE	(4 << 30)	/* 4GB */

	void *ptr = mmap(NULL, MAP_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
			 MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0);
	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		$ grep -E "Unevictable|Inactive\(anon" /proc/meminfo
		Inactive(anon):     6304 kB
		Unevictable:     4213924 kB

	munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		Inactive(anon):  4186252 kB
		Unevictable:       19652 kB

	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		Inactive(anon):  4198556 kB
		Unevictable:       21684 kB

Notice that less than 2MB was added to the unevictable list; this is
because these pages in the range are not transparent hugepages since the
4GB range was allocated with mmap() and has no specific alignment.  If
posix_memalign() were used instead, unevictable would not have grown at
all on the second mlock().

The fix is to call mlock_vma_page() so that the mlock bit is set and the
page is added to the unevictable list.  With this patch:

	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		Inactive(anon):     4056 kB
		Unevictable:     4213940 kB

	munlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		Inactive(anon):  4198268 kB
		Unevictable:       19636 kB

	mlock(ptr, MAP_SIZE);

		Inactive(anon):     4008 kB

Wen Congyang e90bdb7f52 memory-hotplug: update memory block's state and notify userspace
remove_memory() will be called when hot removing a memory device.  But
even if offlining memory, we cannot notice it.  So the patch updates the
memory block's state and sends notification to userspace.

Additionally, the memory device may contain more than one memory block.
If the memory block has been offlined, __offline_pages() will fail.  So we
should try to offline one memory block at a time.

Thus remove_memory() also check each memory block's state.  So there is no
need to check the memory block's state before calling remove_memory().

Wen Congyang a16cee10c7 memory-hotplug: preparation to notify memory block's state at memory hot remove
remove_memory() is called in two cases:
1. echo offline >/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXX/state
2. hot remove a memory device

In the 1st case, the memory block's state is changed and the notification
that memory block's state changed is sent to userland after calling
remove_memory().  So user can notice memory block is changed.

But in the 2nd case, the memory block's state is not changed and the
notification is not also sent to userspcae even if calling
remove_memory().  So user cannot notice memory block is changed.

For adding the notification at memory hot remove, the patch just prepare
as follows:
1st case uses offline_pages() for offlining memory.
2nd case uses remove_memory() for offlining memory and changing memory block's
    state and notifing the information.

The patch does not implement notification to remove_memory().

Following section mismatch warning is thrown during build;

    The function memblock_type_name() references
    the variable __meminitdata memblock.
    This is often because memblock_type_name lacks a __meminitdata
    annotation or the annotation of memblock is wrong.

This is because memblock_type_name makes reference to memblock variable
with attribute __meminitdata.  Hence, the warning (even if the function is

Minchan Kim e46a28790e CMA: migrate mlocked pages
Presently CMA cannot migrate mlocked pages so it ends up failing to allocate
contiguous memory space.

This patch makes mlocked pages be migrated out.  Of course, it can affect
realtime processes but in CMA usecase, contiguous memory allocation failing
is far worse than access latency to an mlocked page being variable while
CMA is running.  If someone wants to make the system realtime, he shouldn't
enable CMA because stalls can still happen at random times.

Minchan Kim 5a88381384 memory-hotplug: fix zone stat mismatch
During memory-hotplug, I found NR_ISOLATED_[ANON|FILE] are increasing,
causing the kernel to hang.  When the system doesn't have enough free
pages, it enters reclaim but never reclaim any pages due to
too_many_isolated()==true and loops forever.

The cause is that when we do memory-hotadd after memory-remove,
__zone_pcp_update() clears a zone's ZONE_STAT_ITEMS in setup_pageset()
although the vm_stat_diff of all CPUs still have values.

In addtion, when we offline all pages of the zone, we reset them in
zone_pcp_reset without draining so we loss some zone stat item.

: 3. we pass MPOL_MF_MOVE | MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL, the page table loops will

And I added a new VM_BUG_ON for checking migrate_to_node's future usecase
which might pass to MPOL_MF_STRICT.

Haggai Eran 6bdb913f0a mm: wrap calls to set_pte_at_notify with invalidate_range_start and invalidate_range_end
In order to allow sleeping during invalidate_page mmu notifier calls, we
need to avoid calling when holding the PT lock.  In addition to its direct
calls, invalidate_page can also be called as a substitute for a change_pte
call, in case the notifier client hasn't implemented change_pte.

This patch drops the invalidate_page call from change_pte, and instead
wraps all calls to change_pte with invalidate_range_start and
invalidate_range_end calls.

Note that change_pte still cannot sleep after this patch, and that clients
implementing change_pte should not take action on it in case the number of
outstanding invalidate_range_start calls is larger than one, otherwise
they might miss a later invalidation.

Sagi Grimberg 2ec74c3ef2 mm: move all mmu notifier invocations to be done outside the PT lock
In order to allow sleeping during mmu notifier calls, we need to avoid
invoking them under the page table spinlock.  This patch solves the
problem by calling invalidate_page notification after releasing the lock
(but before freeing the page itself), or by wrapping the page invalidation
with calls to invalidate_range_begin and invalidate_range_end.

To prevent accidental changes to the invalidate_range_end arguments after
the call to invalidate_range_begin, the patch introduces a convention of
saving the arguments in consistently named locals:

	unsigned long mmun_start;	/* For mmu_notifiers */
	unsigned long mmun_end;	/* For mmu_notifiers */

	...

	mmun_start = ...
	mmun_end = ...
	mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(mm, mmun_start, mmun_end);

	...

	mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(mm, mmun_start, mmun_end);

The patch changes code to use this convention for all calls to
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end, except those where the calls are
close enough so that anyone who glances at the code can see the values
aren't changing.

This patchset is a preliminary step towards on-demand paging design to be
added to the RDMA stack.

Why do we want on-demand paging for Infiniband?

  Applications register memory with an RDMA adapter using system calls,
  and subsequently post IO operations that refer to the corresponding
  virtual addresses directly to HW.  Until now, this was achieved by
  pinning the memory during the registration calls.  The goal of on demand
  paging is to avoid pinning the pages of registered memory regions (MRs).
   This will allow users the same flexibility they get when swapping any
  other part of their processes address spaces.  Instead of requiring the
  entire MR to fit in physical memory, we can allow the MR to be larger,
  and only fit the current working set in physical memory.

Why should anyone care?  What problems are users currently experiencing?

  This can make programming with RDMA much simpler.  Today, developers
  that are working with more data than their RAM can hold need either to
  deregister and reregister memory regions throughout their process's
  life, or keep a single memory region and copy the data to it.  On demand
  paging will allow these developers to register a single MR at the
  beginning of their process's life, and let the operating system manage
  which pages needs to be fetched at a given time.  In the future, we
  might be able to provide a single memory access key for each process
  that would provide the entire process's address as one large memory
  region, and the developers wouldn't need to register memory regions at
  all.

Is there any prospect that any other subsystems will utilise these
infrastructural changes?  If so, which and how, etc?

  As for other subsystems, I understand that XPMEM wanted to sleep in
  MMU notifiers, as Christoph Lameter wrote at
  http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0802.1/0460.html and
  perhaps Andrea knows about other use cases.

  Scheduling in mmu notifications is required since we need to sync the
  hardware with the secondary page tables change.  A TLB flush of an IO
  device is inherently slower than a CPU TLB flush, so our design works by
  sending the invalidation request to the device, and waiting for an
  interrupt before exiting the mmu notifier handler.

Avi said:

  kvm may be a buyer.  kvm::mmu_lock, which serializes guest page
  faults, also protects long operations such as destroying large ranges.
  It would be good to convert it into a spinlock, but as it is used inside
  mmu notifiers, this cannot be done.

  (there are alternatives, such as keeping the spinlock and using a
  generation counter to do the teardown in O(1), which is what the "may"
  is doing up there).

Commit 0c176d52b0 ("mm: hugetlb: fix pgoff computation when unmapping

vma_hugecache_offset() which is not approapriate for offsets used for
vma_prio_tree_foreach() because that one expects index in page units
rather than in huge_page_shift.

Johannes said:

: The resulting index may not be too big, but it can be too small: assume

: page index 512 and hpage index 1.  If you have a VMA that maps the file
: only starting at the second huge page, that VMAs vm_pgoff will be 512 but
: you ask for offset 1 and miss it even though it does map the page of
: interest.  hugetlb_cow() will try to unmap, miss the vma, and retry the
: cow until the allocation succeeds or the skipped vma(s) go away.

David Rientjes 957f822a0a mm, numa: reclaim from all nodes within reclaim distance
RECLAIM_DISTANCE represents the distance between nodes at which it is
deemed too costly to allocate from; it's preferred to try to reclaim from
a local zone before falling back to allocating on a remote node with such
a distance.

To do this, zone_reclaim_mode is set if the distance between any two
nodes on the system is greather than this distance.  This, however, ends
up causing the page allocator to reclaim from every zone regardless of
its affinity.

What we really want is to reclaim only from zones that are closer than
RECLAIM_DISTANCE.  This patch adds a nodemask to each node that
represents the set of nodes that are within this distance.  During the
zone iteration, if the bit for a zone's node is set for the local node,
then reclaim is attempted; otherwise, the zone is skipped.

Hugh Dickins e6c509f854 mm: use clear_page_mlock() in page_remove_rmap()
We had thought that pages could no longer get freed while still marked as
mlocked; but Johannes Weiner posted this program to demonstrate that
truncating an mlocked private file mapping containing COWed pages is still
mishandled:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
	char *map;
	int fd;

	system("grep mlockfreed /proc/vmstat");
	fd = open("chigurh", O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_RDWR);
	unlink("chigurh");
	ftruncate(fd, 4096);
	map = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);
	map[0] = 11;
	mlock(map, sizeof(fd));
	ftruncate(fd, 0);
	close(fd);
	munlock(map, sizeof(fd));
	munmap(map, 4096);
	system("grep mlockfreed /proc/vmstat");
	return 0;
}

The anon COWed pages are not caught by truncation's clear_page_mlock() of
the pagecache pages; but unmap_mapping_range() unmaps them, so we ought to
look out for them there in page_remove_rmap().  Indeed, why should
truncation or invalidation be doing the clear_page_mlock() when removing
from pagecache?  mlock is a property of mapping in userspace, not a
property of pagecache: an mlocked unmapped page is nonsensical.

Hugh Dickins ec4d9f626d mm: fix invalidate_complete_page2() lock ordering
In fuzzing with trinity, lockdep protested "possible irq lock inversion
dependency detected" when isolate_lru_page() reenabled interrupts while
still holding the supposedly irq-safe tree_lock:

invalidate_inode_pages2
  invalidate_complete_page2
    spin_lock_irq(&mapping->tree_lock)
    clear_page_mlock
      isolate_lru_page
        spin_unlock_irq(&zone->lru_lock)

isolate_lru_page() is correct to enable interrupts unconditionally:
invalidate_complete_page2() is incorrect to call clear_page_mlock() while
holding tree_lock, which is supposed to nest inside lru_lock.

Both truncate_complete_page() and invalidate_complete_page() call
clear_page_mlock() before taking tree_lock to remove page from radix_tree.
 I guess invalidate_complete_page2() preferred to test PageDirty (again)
under tree_lock before committing to the munlock; but since the page has
already been unmapped, its state is already somewhat inconsistent, and no
worse if clear_page_mlock() moved up.

let's keep those outside of any ifdefs because it is considered safer wrt.
 future maintainability.

Tested with
- CONFIG_INET && CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM
- !CONFIG_INET && CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM
- CONFIG_INET && !CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM
- !CONFIG_INET && !CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM

Jianguo Wu 7f1290f2f2 mm: fix-up zone present pages
I think zone->present_pages indicates pages that buddy system can management,
it should be:

	zone->present_pages = spanned pages - absent pages - bootmem pages,

but is now:
	zone->present_pages = spanned pages - absent pages - memmap pages.

spanned pages: total size, including holes.
absent pages: holes.
bootmem pages: pages used in system boot, managed by bootmem allocator.
memmap pages: pages used by page structs.

This may cause zone->present_pages less than it should be.  For example,
numa node 1 has ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE, it's memmap and other
bootmem will be allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE, so ZONE_NORMAL's
present_pages should be spanned pages - absent pages, but now it also
minus memmap pages(free_area_init_core), which are actually allocated from
ZONE_MOVABLE.  When offlining all memory of a zone, this will cause
zone->present_pages less than 0, because present_pages is unsigned long
type, it is actually a very large integer, it indirectly caused
zone->watermark[WMARK_MIN] becomes a large
integer(setup_per_zone_wmarks()), than cause totalreserve_pages become a
large integer(calculate_totalreserve_pages()), and finally cause memory
allocating failure when fork process(__vm_enough_memory()).

[root@localhost ~]# dmesg
-bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory

I think the bug described in

  http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=134502182714186&w=2

is also caused by wrong zone present pages.

This patch intends to fix-up zone->present_pages when memory are freed to
buddy system on x86_64 and IA64 platforms.

highmem pages during CMA migration.  6a6dccba2f fixed that issue.

Mel Gorman 62997027ca mm: compaction: clear PG_migrate_skip based on compaction and reclaim activity
Compaction caches if a pageblock was scanned and no pages were isolated so
that the pageblocks can be skipped in the future to reduce scanning.  This
information is not cleared by the page allocator based on activity due to
the impact it would have to the page allocator fast paths.  Hence there is
a requirement that something clear the cache or pageblocks will be skipped
forever.  Currently the cache is cleared if there were a number of recent
allocation failures and it has not been cleared within the last 5 seconds.
Time-based decisions like this are terrible as they have no relationship
to VM activity and is basically a big hammer.

Unfortunately, accurate heuristics would add cost to some hot paths so
this patch implements a rough heuristic.  There are two cases where the
cache is cleared.

1. If a !kswapd process completes a compaction cycle (migrate and free
   scanner meet), the zone is marked compact_blockskip_flush. When kswapd
   goes to sleep, it will clear the cache. This is expected to be the
   common case where the cache is cleared. It does not really matter if
   kswapd happens to be asleep or going to sleep when the flag is set as
   it will be woken on the next allocation request.

2. If there have been multiple failures recently and compaction just
   finished being deferred then a process will clear the cache and start a
   full scan.  This situation happens if there are multiple high-order
   allocation requests under heavy memory pressure.

The clearing of the PG_migrate_skip bits and other scans is inherently
racy but the race is harmless.  For allocations that can fail such as THP,
they will simply fail.  For requests that cannot fail, they will retry the
allocation.  Tests indicated that scanning rates were roughly similar to
when the time-based heuristic was used and the allocation success rates
were similar.

Mel Gorman c89511ab2f mm: compaction: Restart compaction from near where it left off
This is almost entirely based on Rik's previous patches and discussions
with him about how this might be implemented.

Order > 0 compaction stops when enough free pages of the correct page
order have been coalesced.  When doing subsequent higher order
allocations, it is possible for compaction to be invoked many times.

However, the compaction code always starts out looking for things to
compact at the start of the zone, and for free pages to compact things to
at the end of the zone.

This can cause quadratic behaviour, with isolate_freepages starting at the
end of the zone each time, even though previous invocations of the
compaction code already filled up all free memory on that end of the zone.
 This can cause isolate_freepages to take enormous amounts of CPU with
certain workloads on larger memory systems.

This patch caches where the migration and free scanner should start from
on subsequent compaction invocations using the pageblock-skip information.
 When compaction starts it begins from the cached restart points and will
update the cached restart points until a page is isolated or a pageblock
is skipped that would have been scanned by synchronous compaction.

Mel Gorman bb13ffeb9f mm: compaction: cache if a pageblock was scanned and no pages were isolated
When compaction was implemented it was known that scanning could
potentially be excessive.  The ideal was that a counter be maintained for
each pageblock but maintaining this information would incur a severe
penalty due to a shared writable cache line.  It has reached the point
where the scanning costs are a serious problem, particularly on
long-lived systems where a large process starts and allocates a large
number of THPs at the same time.

Instead of using a shared counter, this patch adds another bit to the
pageblock flags called PG_migrate_skip.  If a pageblock is scanned by
either migrate or free scanner and 0 pages were isolated, the pageblock is
marked to be skipped in the future.  When scanning, this bit is checked
before any scanning takes place and the block skipped if set.

The main difficulty with a patch like this is "when to ignore the cached
information?" If it's ignored too often, the scanning rates will still be
excessive.  If the information is too stale then allocations will fail
that might have otherwise succeeded.  In this patch

o CMA always ignores the information
o If the migrate and free scanner meet then the cached information will
  be discarded if it's at least 5 seconds since the last time the cache
  was discarded
o If there are a large number of allocation failures, discard the cache.

The time-based heuristic is very clumsy but there are few choices for a
better event.  Depending solely on multiple allocation failures still
allows excessive scanning when THP allocations are failing in quick
succession due to memory pressure.  Waiting until memory pressure is
relieved would cause compaction to continually fail instead of using
reclaim/compaction to try allocate the page.  The time-based mechanism is
clumsy but a better option is not obvious.

Mel Gorman f40d1e42bb mm: compaction: acquire the zone->lock as late as possible
Compaction's free scanner acquires the zone->lock when checking for
PageBuddy pages and isolating them.  It does this even if there are no
PageBuddy pages in the range.

This patch defers acquiring the zone lock for as long as possible.  In the
event there are no free pages in the pageblock then the lock will not be
acquired at all which reduces contention on zone->lock.

Mel Gorman 2a1402aa04 mm: compaction: acquire the zone->lru_lock as late as possible
Richard Davies and Shaohua Li have both reported lock contention problems
in compaction on the zone and LRU locks as well as significant amounts of
time being spent in compaction.  This series aims to reduce lock
contention and scanning rates to reduce that CPU usage.  Richard reported
at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/21/91 that this series made a big
different to a problem he reported in August:

   http://marc.info/?l=kvm&m=134511507015614&w=2

Patch 1 defers acquiring the zone->lru_lock as long as possible.

Patch 2 defers acquiring the zone->lock as lock as possible.

Patch 3 reverts Rik's "skip-free" patches as the core concept gets
	reimplemented later and the remaining patches are easier to
	understand if this is reverted first.

Patch 4 adds a pageblock-skip bit to the pageblock flags to cache what
	pageblocks should be skipped by the migrate and free scanners.
	This drastically reduces the amount of scanning compaction has
	to do.

Patch 5 reimplements something similar to Rik's idea except it uses the
	pageblock-skip information to decide where the scanners should
	restart from and does not need to wrap around.

I tested this on 3.6-rc6 + linux-next/akpm. Kernels tested were

akpm-20120920	3.6-rc6 + linux-next/akpm as of Septeber 20th, 2012
lesslock	Patches 1-6
revert		Patches 1-7

skipuseless	Patches 1-9

Stress high-order allocation tests looked ok.  Success rates are more or
less the same with the full series applied but there is an expectation
that there is less opportunity to race with other allocation requests if
there is less scanning.  The time to complete the tests did not vary that
much and are uninteresting as were the vmstat statistics so I will not
present them here.

Using ftrace I recorded how much scanning was done by compaction and got this

                            3.6.0-rc6     3.6.0-rc6   3.6.0-rc6  3.6.0-rc6 3.6.0-rc6

The efficiency is worthless because of the nature of the test and the
number of failures.  The really interesting point as far as this patch
series is concerned is the number of pages scanned.  Note that reverting
Rik's patches massively increases the number of pages scanned indicating
that those patches really did make a difference to CPU usage.

However, caching what pageblocks should be skipped has a much higher
impact.  With patches 1-8 applied, free page and migrate page scanning are
both reduced by 95% in comparison to the akpm kernel.  If the basic
concept of Rik's patches are implemened on top then scanning then the free
scanner barely changed but migrate scanning was further reduced.  That
said, tests on 3.6-rc5 indicated that the last patch had greater impact
than what was measured here so it is a bit variable.

One way or the other, this series has a large impact on the amount of
scanning compaction does when there is a storm of THP allocations.

This patch:

Compaction's migrate scanner acquires the zone->lru_lock when scanning a
range of pages looking for LRU pages to acquire.  It does this even if
there are no LRU pages in the range.  If multiple processes are compacting
then this can cause severe locking contention.  To make matters worse
commit b2eef8c0 ("mm: compaction: minimise the time IRQs are disabled
while isolating pages for migration") releases the lru_lock every
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages that are scanned.

This patch makes two changes to how the migrate scanner acquires the LRU
lock.  First, it only releases the LRU lock every SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages
if the lock is contended.  This reduces the number of times it
unnecessarily disables and re-enables IRQs.  The second is that it defers
acquiring the LRU lock for as long as possible.  If there are no LRU pages
or the only LRU pages are transhuge then the LRU lock will not be acquired
at all which reduces contention on zone->lru_lock.

Mel Gorman 3cc668f4e3 mm: compaction: move fatal signal check out of compact_checklock_irqsave
Commit c67fe3752a ("mm: compaction: Abort async compaction if locks
are contended or taking too long") addressed a lock contention problem
in compaction by introducing compact_checklock_irqsave() that effecively
aborting async compaction in the event of compaction.

To preserve existing behaviour it also moved a fatal_signal_pending()
check into compact_checklock_irqsave() but that is very misleading.  It
"hides" the check within a locking function but has nothing to do with
locking as such.  It just happens to work in a desirable fashion.

This patch moves the fatal_signal_pending() check to
isolate_migratepages_range() where it belongs.  Arguably the same check
should also happen when isolating pages for freeing but it's overkill.

Shaohua Li e64c5237cf mm: compaction: abort compaction loop if lock is contended or run too long
isolate_migratepages_range() might isolate no pages if for example when
zone->lru_lock is contended and running asynchronous compaction. In this
case, we should abort compaction, otherwise, compact_zone will run a
useless loop and make zone->lru_lock is even contended.

An additional check is added to ensure that cc.migratepages and
cc.freepages get properly drained whan compaction is aborted.
