Andi Kleen fb46e73520 HWPOISON: Convert pr_debugs to pr_info
Convert a lot of pr_debugs in memory-failure.c that are generally useful
to pr_info. It's reasonable to print at least one message why
offlining succeeded or failed by default.

Andi Kleen aa50d3a7aa Encode huge page size for VM_FAULT_HWPOISON errors
This fixes a problem introduced with the hugetlb hwpoison handling

The user space SIGBUS signalling wants to know the size of the hugepage
that caused a HWPOISON fault.

Unfortunately the architecture page fault handlers do not have easy
access to the struct page.

Pass the information out in the fault error code instead.

I added a separate VM_FAULT_HWPOISON_LARGE bit for this case and encode
the hpage index in some free upper bits of the fault code. The small
page hwpoison keeps stays with the VM_FAULT_HWPOISON name to minimize
changes.

Also add code to hugetlb.h to convert that index into a page shift.

Will be used in a further patch.

Naoya Horiguchi d950b95882 HWPOISON, hugetlb: soft offlining for hugepage
This patch extends soft offlining framework to support hugepage.
When memory corrected errors occur repeatedly on a hugepage,
we can choose to stop using it by migrating data onto another hugepage
and disabling the original (maybe half-broken) one.

ChangeLog since v4:
- branch soft_offline_page() for hugepage

ChangeLog since v3:
- remove comment about "ToDo: hugepage soft-offline"

ChangeLog since v2:
- move refcount handling into isolate_lru_page()

ChangeLog since v1:
- add double check in isolating hwpoisoned hugepage
- define free/non-free checker for hugepage
- postpone calling put_page() for hugepage in soft_offline_page()

Naoya Horiguchi 8c6c2ecb44 HWPOSION, hugetlb: recover from free hugepage error when !MF_COUNT_INCREASED
Currently error recovery for free hugepage works only for MF_COUNT_INCREASED.
This patch enables !MF_COUNT_INCREASED case.

Free hugepages can be handled directly by alloc_huge_page() and
dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page(), and both of them are protected
by hugetlb_lock, so there is no race between them.

Note that this patch defines the refcount of HWPoisoned hugepage
dequeued from freelist is 1, deviated from present 0, thereby we
can avoid race between unpoison and memory failure on free hugepage.
This is reasonable because unlikely to free buddy pages, free hugepage
is governed by hugetlbfs even after error handling finishes.
And it also makes unpoison code added in the later patch cleaner.

Naoya Horiguchi a9869b837c hugetlb: move refcounting in hugepage allocation inside hugetlb_lock
Currently alloc_huge_page() raises page refcount outside hugetlb_lock.
but it causes race when dequeue_hwpoison_huge_page() runs concurrently
with alloc_huge_page().
To avoid it, this patch moves set_page_refcounted() in hugetlb_lock.

Naoya Horiguchi 290408d4a2 hugetlb: hugepage migration core
This patch extends page migration code to support hugepage migration.
One of the potential users of this feature is soft offlining which
is triggered by memory corrected errors (added by the next patch.)

Todo:
- there are other users of page migration such as memory policy,
  memory hotplug and memocy compaction.
  They are not ready for hugepage support for now.

ChangeLog since v4:
- define migrate_huge_pages()
- remove changes on isolation/putback_lru_page()

ChangeLog since v2:
- refactor isolate/putback_lru_page() to handle hugepage
- add comment about race on unmap_and_move_huge_page()

ChangeLog since v1:
- divide migration code path for hugepage
- define routine checking migration swap entry for hugetlb
- replace "goto" with "if/else" in remove_migration_pte()

Naoya Horiguchi 0ebabb416f hugetlb: redefine hugepage copy functions
This patch modifies hugepage copy functions to have only destination
and source hugepages as arguments for later use.
The old ones are renamed from copy_{gigantic,huge}_page() to
copy_user_{gigantic,huge}_page().
This naming convention is consistent with that between copy_highpage()
and copy_user_highpage().

ChangeLog since v4:
- add blank line between local declaration and code
- remove unnecessary might_sleep()

ChangeLog since v2:
- change copy_huge_page() from macro to inline dummy function
  to avoid compile warning when !CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE.

Naoya Horiguchi 998b4382c1 hugetlb: fix metadata corruption in hugetlb_fault()
Since the PageHWPoison() check is for avoiding hwpoisoned page remained
in pagecache mapping to the process, it should be done in "found in pagecache"
branch, not in the common path.
Otherwise, metadata corruption occurs if memory failure happens between
alloc_huge_page() and lock_page() because page fault fails with metadata
changes remained (such as refcount, mapcount, etc.)

This patch moves the check to "found in pagecache" branch and fix the problem.

ChangeLog since v2:
- remove retry check in "new allocation" path.
- make description more detailed
- change patch name from "HWPOISON, hugetlb: move PG_HWPoison bit check"

    4743:       78 1d                   js     4762 <kfree+0xa2>

  After:

Hugh Dickins 4e31635c36 ksm: fix bad user data when swapping
Building under memory pressure, with KSM on 2.6.36-rc5, collapsed with
an internal compiler error: typically indicating an error in swapping.

Perhaps there's a timing issue which makes it now more likely, perhaps
it's just a long time since I tried for so long: this bug goes back to
KSM swapping in 2.6.33.

Notice how reuse_swap_page() allows an exclusive page to be reused, but
only does SetPageDirty if it can delete it from swap cache right then -
if it's currently under Writeback, it has to be left in cache and we
don't SetPageDirty, but the page can be reused.  Fine, the dirty bit
will get set in the pte; but notice how zap_pte_range() does not bother
to transfer pte_dirty to page_dirty when unmapping a PageAnon.

If KSM chooses to share such a page, it will look like a clean copy of
swapcache, and not be written out to swap when its memory is needed;
then stale data read back from swap when it's needed again.

We could fix this in reuse_swap_page() (or even refuse to reuse a
page under writeback), but it's more honest to fix my oversight in
KSM's write_protect_page().  Several days of testing on three machines
confirms that this fixes the issue they showed.

Hugh Dickins 4829b906cc ksm: fix page_address_in_vma anon_vma oops
2.6.36-rc1 commit 21d0d443cd "rmap:
resurrect page_address_in_vma anon_vma check" was right to resurrect
that check; but now that it's comparing anon_vma->roots instead of
just anon_vmas, there's a danger of oopsing on a NULL anon_vma.

In most cases no NULL anon_vma ever gets here; but it turns out that
occasionally KSM, when enabled on a forked or forking process, will
itself call page_address_in_vma() on a "half-KSM" page left over from
an earlier failed attempt to merge - whose page_anon_vma() is NULL.

It's my bug that those should be getting here at all: I thought they
were already dealt with, this oops proves me wrong, I'll fix it in
the next release - such pages are effectively pinned until their
process exits, since rmap cannot find their ptes (though swapoff can).

For now just work around it by making page_address_in_vma() safe (and
add a comment on why that check is wanted anyway).  A similar check
in __page_check_anon_rmap() is safe because do_page_add_anon_rmap()
already excluded KSM pages.

Tejun Heo 9b8327bb24 percpu: use percpu allocator on UP too
On UP, percpu allocations were redirected to kmalloc.  This has the
following problems.

* For certain amount of allocations (determined by
  PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SLOTS and PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SIZE), percpu
  allocator can be used before the usual kernel memory allocator is
  brought online.  On SMP, this is used to initialize the kernel
  memory allocator.

* percpu allocator honors alignment upto PAGE_SIZE but kmalloc()
  doesn't.  For example, workqueue makes use of larger alignments for
  cpu_workqueues.

Currently, users of percpu allocators need to handle UP differently,
which is somewhat fragile and ugly.  Other than small amount of
memory, there isn't much to lose by enabling percpu allocator on UP.
It can simply use kernel memory based chunk allocation which was added
for SMP archs w/o MMUs.

This patch removes mm/percpu_up.c, builds mm/percpu.c on UP too and
makes UP build use percpu-km.  As percpu addresses and kernel
addresses are always identity mapped and static percpu variables don't
need any special treatment, nothing is arch dependent and mm/percpu.c
implements generic setup_per_cpu_areas() for UP.

Pekka Enberg 84c1cf6246 SLUB: Fix merged slab cache names
As explained by Linus "I'm Proud to be an American" Torvalds:

  Looking at the merging code, I actually think it's totally
  buggy. If you have something like this:

   - load module A: create slab cache A

   - load module B: create slab cache B that can merge with A

   - unload module A

   - "cat /proc/slabinfo": BOOM. Oops.

  exactly because the name is not handled correctly, and you'll have
  module B holding open a slab cache that has a name pointer that points
  to module A that no longer exists.

This patch fixes the problem by using kstrdup() to allocate dynamic memory for
->name of "struct kmem_cache" as suggested by Christoph Lameter.

David Rientjes e85bfd3aa7 oom: filter unkillable tasks from tasklist dump
/proc/sys/vm/oom_dump_tasks is enabled by default, so it's necessary to
limit as much information as possible that it should emit.

The tasklist dump should be filtered to only those tasks that are eligible
for oom kill.  This is already done for memcg ooms, but this patch extends
it to both cpuset and mempolicy ooms as well as init.

In addition to suppressing irrelevant information, this also reduces
confusion since users currently don't know which tasks in the tasklist
aren't eligible for kill (such as those attached to cpusets or bound to
mempolicies with a disjoint set of mems or nodes, respectively) since that
information is not shown.

     vmscan: fix do_try_to_free_pages() return value when priority==0 reclaim failure

At first impression, this seemed very strange because the above commit
only chenged function return value and hibernate_preallocate_memory()
ignore return value of shrink_all_memory().  But it's related.

Now, page allocation from hibernation code may enter infinite loop if the
system has highmem.  The reasons are that vmscan don't care enough OOM
case when oom_killer_disabled.

The problem sequence is following as.

1. hibernation
2. oom_disable
3. alloc_pages
4. do_try_to_free_pages
       if (scanning_global_lru(sc) && !all_unreclaimable)
               return 1;

If kswapd is not freozen, it would set zone->all_unreclaimable to 1 and
then shrink_zones maybe return true(ie, all_unreclaimable is true).  So at
last, alloc_pages could go to _nopage_.  If it is, it should have no
problem.

This patch adds all_unreclaimable check to protect in direct reclaim path,
too.  It can care of hibernation OOM case and help bailout
all_unreclaimable case slightly.

David Rientjes f19e8aa11a oom: always return a badness score of non-zero for eligible tasks
A task's badness score is roughly a proportion of its rss and swap
compared to the system's capacity.  The scale ranges from 0 to 1000 with
the highest score chosen for kill.  Thus, this scale operates on a
resolution of 0.1% of RAM + swap.  Admin tasks are also given a 3% bonus,
so the badness score of an admin task using 3% of memory, for example,
would still be 0.

It's possible that an exceptionally large number of tasks will combine to
exhaust all resources but never have a single task that uses more than
0.1% of RAM and swap (or 3.0% for admin tasks).

This patch ensures that the badness score of any eligible task is never 0
so the machine doesn't unnecessarily panic because it cannot find a task
to kill.

Tejun Heo 46b30ea9bc percpu: fix pcpu_last_unit_cpu
pcpu_first/last_unit_cpu are used to track which cpu has the first and
last units assigned.  This in turn is used to determine the span of a
chunk for man/unmap cache flushes and whether an address belongs to
the first chunk or not in per_cpu_ptr_to_phys().

When the number of possible CPUs isn't power of two, a chunk may
contain unassigned units towards the end of a chunk.  The logic to
determine pcpu_last_unit_cpu was incorrect when there was an unused
unit at the end of a chunk.  It failed to ignore the unused unit and
assigned the unused marker NR_CPUS to pcpu_last_unit_cpu.

This was discovered through kdump failure which was caused by
malfunctioning per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() on a kvm setup with 50 possible
CPUs by CAI Qian.

Hugh Dickins 31c4a3d3a0 mm: further fix swapin race condition
Commit 4969c1192d ("mm: fix swapin race condition") is now agreed to
be incomplete.  There's a race, not very much less likely than the
original race envisaged, in which it is further necessary to check that
the swapcache page's swap has not changed.

Here's the reasoning: cast in terms of reuse_swap_page(), but probably
could be reformulated to rely on try_to_free_swap() instead, or on
swapoff+swapon.

A, faults into do_swap_page(): does page1 = lookup_swap_cache(swap1) and
comes through the lock_page(page1).

B, a racing thread of the same process, faults on the same address: does
page1 = lookup_swap_cache(swap1) and now waits in lock_page(page1), but
for whatever reason is unlucky not to get the lock any time soon.

A carries on through do_swap_page(), a write fault, but cannot reuse the
swap page1 (another reference to swap1).  Unlocks the page1 (but B
doesn't get it yet), does COW in do_wp_page(), page2 now in that pte.

C, perhaps the parent of A+B, comes in and write faults the same swap
page1 into its mm, reuse_swap_page() succeeds this time, swap1 is freed.

kswapd comes in after some time (B still unlucky) and swaps out some
pages from A+B and C: it allocates the original swap1 to page2 in A+B,
and some other swap2 to the original page1 now in C.  But does not
immediately free page1 (actually it couldn't: B holds a reference),
leaving it in swap cache for now.

B at last gets the lock on page1, hooray! Is PageSwapCache(page1)? Yes.
Is pte_same(*page_table, orig_pte)? Yes, because page2 has now been
given the swap1 which page1 used to have.  So B proceeds to insert page1
into A+B's page_table, though its content now belongs to C, quite
different from what A wrote there.

B ought to have checked that page1's swap was still swap1.

Cliff Wickman 3ee48b6af4 mm, x86: Saving vmcore with non-lazy freeing of vmas
During the reading of /proc/vmcore the kernel is doing
ioremap()/iounmap() repeatedly. And the buildup of un-flushed
vm_area_struct's is causing a great deal of overhead. (rb_next()
is chewing up most of that time).

This solution is to provide function set_iounmap_nonlazy(). It
causes a subsequent call to iounmap() to immediately purge the
vma area (with try_purge_vmap_area_lazy()).

With this patch we have seen the time for writing a 250MB
compressed dump drop from 71 seconds to 44 seconds.

Christoph Hellwig dd3932eddf block: remove BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT
All the blkdev_issue_* helpers can only sanely be used for synchronous
caller.  To issue cache flushes or barriers asynchronously the caller needs
to set up a bio by itself with a completion callback to move the asynchronous
state machine ahead.  So drop the BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag that is always
specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags
argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout.  For
blkdev_issue_discard we need to keep it for the secure discard flag, which
gains a more descriptive name and loses the bitops vs flag confusion.

Mel Gorman 9ee493ce0a mm: page allocator: drain per-cpu lists after direct reclaim allocation fails
When under significant memory pressure, a process enters direct reclaim
and immediately afterwards tries to allocate a page.  If it fails and no
further progress is made, it's possible the system will go OOM.  However,
on systems with large amounts of memory, it's possible that a significant
number of pages are on per-cpu lists and inaccessible to the calling
process.  This leads to a process entering direct reclaim more often than
it should increasing the pressure on the system and compounding the
problem.

This patch notes that if direct reclaim is making progress but allocations
are still failing that the system is already under heavy pressure.  In
this case, it drains the per-cpu lists and tries the allocation a second
time before continuing.

Christoph Lameter aa45484031 mm: page allocator: calculate a better estimate of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory is low and kswapd is awake
Ordinarily watermark checks are based on the vmstat NR_FREE_PAGES as it is
cheaper than scanning a number of lists.  To avoid synchronization
overhead, counter deltas are maintained on a per-cpu basis and drained
both periodically and when the delta is above a threshold.  On large CPU
systems, the difference between the estimated and real value of
NR_FREE_PAGES can be very high.  If NR_FREE_PAGES is much higher than
number of real free page in buddy, the VM can allocate pages below min
watermark, at worst reducing the real number of pages to zero.  Even if
the OOM killer kills some victim for freeing memory, it may not free
memory if the exit path requires a new page resulting in livelock.

This patch introduces a zone_page_state_snapshot() function (courtesy of
Christoph) that takes a slightly more accurate view of an arbitrary vmstat
counter.  It is used to read NR_FREE_PAGES while kswapd is awake to avoid
the watermark being accidentally broken.  The estimate is not perfect and
may result in cache line bounces but is expected to be lighter than the
IPI calls necessary to continually drain the per-cpu counters while kswapd
is awake.

Mel Gorman 72853e2991 mm: page allocator: update free page counters after pages are placed on the free list
When allocating a page, the system uses NR_FREE_PAGES counters to
determine if watermarks would remain intact after the allocation was made.
This check is made without interrupts disabled or the zone lock held and
so is race-prone by nature.  Unfortunately, when pages are being freed in
batch, the counters are updated before the pages are added on the list.
During this window, the counters are misleading as the pages do not exist
yet.  When under significant pressure on systems with large numbers of
CPUs, it's possible for processes to make progress even though they should
have been stalled.  This is particularly problematic if a number of the
processes are using GFP_ATOMIC as the min watermark can be accidentally
breached and in extreme cases, the system can livelock.

This patch updates the counters after the pages have been added to the
list.  This makes the allocator more cautious with respect to preserving
the watermarks and mitigates livelock possibilities.

Hugh Dickins 3399446632 swap: discard while swapping only if SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD
Tests with recent firmware on Intel X25-M 80GB and OCZ Vertex 60GB SSDs
show a shift since I last tested in December: in part because of firmware
updates, in part because of the necessary move from barriers to awaiting
completion at the block layer.  While discard at swapon still shows as
slightly beneficial on both, discarding 1MB swap cluster when allocating
is now disadvanteous: adds 25% overhead on Intel, adds 230% on OCZ (YMMV).

Surrender: discard as presently implemented is more hindrance than help
for swap; but might prove useful on other devices, or with improvements.
So continue to do the discard at swapon, but make discard while swapping
conditional on a SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD to sys_swapon() (which has been using
only the lower 16 bits of int flags).

We can add a --discard or -d to swapon(8), and a "discard" to swap in
/etc/fstab: matching the mount option for btrfs, ext4, fat, gfs2, nilfs2.

Hugh Dickins b73d7fcecd swap: prevent reuse during hibernation
Move the hibernation check from scan_swap_map() into try_to_free_swap():
to catch not only the common case when hibernation's allocation itself
triggers swap reuse, but also the less likely case when concurrent page
reclaim (shrink_page_list) might happen to try_to_free_swap from a page.

Hibernation already clears __GFP_IO from the gfp_allowed_mask, to stop
reclaim from going to swap: check that to prevent swap reuse too.

Hugh Dickins 910321ea81 swap: revert special hibernation allocation
Please revert 2.6.36-rc commit d2997b1042
"hibernation: freeze swap at hibernation".  It complicated matters by
adding a second swap allocation path, just for hibernation; without in any
way fixing the issue that it was intended to address - page reclaim after
fixing the hibernation image might free swap from a page already imaged as
swapcache, letting its swap be reallocated to store a different page of
the image: resulting in data corruption if the imaged page were freed as
clean then swapped back in.  Pages freed to si->swap_map were still in
danger of being reallocated by the alternative allocation path.

I guess it inadvertently fixed slow SSD swap allocation for hibernation,
as reported by Nigel Cunningham: by missing out the discards that occur on
the usual swap allocation path; but that was unintentional, and needs a
separate fix.

Minchan Kim bc69304574 mm: compaction: handle active and inactive fairly in too_many_isolated
Iram reported that compaction's too_many_isolated() loops forever.
(http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg08123.html)

The meminfo when the situation happened was inactive anon is zero.  That's
because the system has no memory pressure until then.  While all anon
pages were in the active lru, compaction could select active lru as well
as inactive lru.  That's a different thing from vmscan's isolated.  So we
has been two too_many_isolated.

While compaction can isolate pages in both active and inactive, current
implementation of too_many_isolated only considers inactive.  It made
Iram's problem.

This patch handles active and inactive fairly.  That's because we can't
expect where from and how many compaction would isolated pages.

This patch changes (nr_isolated > nr_inactive) with
nr_isolated > (nr_active + nr_inactive) / 2.

The pte_same check is reliable only if the swap entry remains pinned (by
the page lock on swapcache).  We've also to ensure the swapcache isn't
removed before we take the lock as try_to_free_swap won't care about the
page pin.

One of the possible impacts of this patch is that a KSM-shared page can
point to the anon_vma of another process, which could exit before the page
is freed.

This can leave a page with a pointer to a recycled anon_vma object, or
worse, a pointer to something that is no longer an anon_vma.

Tejun Heo bbddff0545 percpu: use percpu allocator on UP too
On UP, percpu allocations were redirected to kmalloc.  This has the
following problems.

* For certain amount of allocations (determined by
  PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SLOTS and PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SIZE), percpu
  allocator can be used before the usual kernel memory allocator is
  brought online.  On SMP, this is used to initialize the kernel
  memory allocator.

* percpu allocator honors alignment upto PAGE_SIZE but kmalloc()
  doesn't.  For example, workqueue makes use of larger alignments for
  cpu_workqueues.

Currently, users of percpu allocators need to handle UP differently,
which is somewhat fragile and ugly.  Other than small amount of
memory, there isn't much to lose by enabling percpu allocator on UP.
It can simply use kernel memory based chunk allocation which was added
for SMP archs w/o MMUs.

This patch removes mm/percpu_up.c, builds mm/percpu.c on UP too and
makes UP build use percpu-km.  As percpu addresses and kernel
addresses are always identity mapped and static percpu variables don't
need any special treatment, nothing is arch dependent and mm/percpu.c
implements generic setup_per_cpu_areas() for UP.

Hugh Dickins f18194275c mm: fix hang on anon_vma->root->lock
After several hours, kbuild tests hang with anon_vma_prepare() spinning on
a newly allocated anon_vma's lock - on a box with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU=y
(which makes this very much more likely, but it could happen without).

The ever-subtle page_lock_anon_vma() now needs a further twist: since
anon_vma_prepare() and anon_vma_fork() are liable to change the ->root
of a reused anon_vma structure at any moment, page_lock_anon_vma()
needs to check page_mapped() again before succeeding, otherwise
page_unlock_anon_vma() might address a different root->lock.

Yinghai Lu 72d7c3b33c x86: Use memblock to replace early_res
1. replace find_e820_area with memblock_find_in_range
2. replace reserve_early with memblock_x86_reserve_range
3. replace free_early with memblock_x86_free_range.
4. NO_BOOTMEM will switch to use memblock too.
5. use _e820, _early wrap in the patch, in following patch, will
   replace them all
6. because memblock_x86_free_range support partial free, we can remove some special care
7. Need to make sure that memblock_find_in_range() is called after memblock_x86_fill()
   so adjust some calling later in setup.c::setup_arch()
   -- corruption_check and mptable_update

-v2: Move reserve_brk() early
    Before fill_memblock_area, to avoid overlap between brk and memblock_find_in_range()
    that could happen We have more then 128 RAM entry in E820 tables, and
    memblock_x86_fill() could use memblock_find_in_range() to find a new place for
    memblock.memory.region array.
    and We don't need to use extend_brk() after fill_memblock_area()
    So move reserve_brk() early before fill_memblock_area().
-v3: Move find_smp_config early
    To make sure memblock_find_in_range not find wrong place, if BIOS doesn't put mptable
    in right place.
-v4: Treat RESERVED_KERN as RAM in memblock.memory. and they are already in
    memblock.reserved already..
    use __NOT_KEEP_MEMBLOCK to make sure memblock related code could be freed later.
-v5: Generic version __memblock_find_in_range() is going from high to low, and for 32bit
    active_region for 32bit does include high pages
    need to replace the limit with memblock.default_alloc_limit, aka get_max_mapped()
-v6: Use current_limit instead
-v7: check with MEMBLOCK_ERROR instead of -1ULL or -1L
-v8: Set memblock_can_resize early to handle EFI with more RAM entries

The reason of this hang was a race condition: when the flusher thread is
forking a bdi thread, we use 'kthread_run()', so we run it _before_ we make it
visible in 'bdi->wb.task'. The bdi thread runs, does all works, and goes sleep.
'bdi->wb.task' is still NULL. And this is a dangerous time window.

If at this time someone queues a work for this bdi, he does not see the bdi
thread and wakes up the forker thread instead! But the forker has already
forked this bdi thread, but just did not make it visible yet!

The result is that we lose the wake up event for this bdi thread and the NFS4
code waits forever.

To fix the problem, we should use 'ktrhead_create()' for creating bdi threads,
then make them visible in 'bdi->wb.task', and only after this wake them up.
This is exactly what this patch does.

    flush-253:16-8516  [000] 1342952.369542: wbc_writepage: bdi 253:16: towrt=-1 skip=0 mode=0 kupd=0 bgrd=1 reclm=0 cyclic=1 more=0 older=0x0 start=0x0 end=0x0

Writeback is not terminating in background writeback if ->writepage is
returning with wbc->nr_to_write == 0, resulting in sub-optimal single page
writeback on XFS.

Fix the write_cache_pages loop to terminate correctly when this situation
occurs and so prevent this sub-optimal background writeback pattern. This
improves sustained sequential buffered write performance from around
250MB/s to 750MB/s for a 100GB file on an XFS filesystem on my 8p test VM.

Shaohua Li 61c77326d1 x86, mm: Avoid unnecessary TLB flush
In x86, access and dirty bits are set automatically by CPU when CPU accesses
memory. When we go into the code path of below flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault(),
we already set dirty bit for pte and don't need flush tlb. This might mean
tlb entry in some CPUs hasn't dirty bit set, but this doesn't matter. When
the CPUs do page write, they will automatically check the bit and no software
involved.

On the other hand, flush tlb in below position is harmful. Test creates CPU
number of threads, each thread writes to a same but random address in same vma
range and we measure the total time. Under a 4 socket system, original time is
1.96s, while with the patch, the time is 0.8s. Under a 2 socket system, there is
20% time cut too. perf shows a lot of time are taking to send ipi/handle ipi for
tlb flush.

Linus Torvalds d7824370e2 mm: fix up some user-visible effects of the stack guard page
This commit makes the stack guard page somewhat less visible to user
space. It does this by:

 - not showing the guard page in /proc/<pid>/maps

   It looks like lvm-tools will actually read /proc/self/maps to figure
   out where all its mappings are, and effectively do a specialized
   "mlockall()" in user space.  By not showing the guard page as part of
   the mapping (by just adding PAGE_SIZE to the start for grows-up
   pages), lvm-tools ends up not being aware of it.

 - by also teaching the _real_ mlock() functionality not to try to lock
   the guard page.

   That would just expand the mapping down to create a new guard page,
   so there really is no point in trying to lock it in place.

It would perhaps be nice to show the guard page specially in
/proc/<pid>/maps (or at least mark grow-down segments some way), but
let's not open ourselves up to more breakage by user space from programs
that depends on the exact deails of the 'maps' file.

Special thanks to Henrique de Moraes Holschuh for diving into lvm-tools
source code to see what was going on with the whole new warning.

Linus Torvalds 11ac552477 mm: fix page table unmap for stack guard page properly
We do in fact need to unmap the page table _before_ doing the whole
stack guard page logic, because if it is needed (mainly 32-bit x86 with
PAE and CONFIG_HIGHPTE, but other architectures may use it too) then it
will do a kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic.

And those kmaps will create an atomic region that we cannot do
allocations in.  However, the whole stack expand code will need to do
anon_vma_prepare() and vma_lock_anon_vma() and they cannot do that in an
atomic region.

Now, a better model might actually be to do the anon_vma_prepare() when
_creating_ a VM_GROWSDOWN segment, and not have to worry about any of
this at page fault time.  But in the meantime, this is the
straightforward fix for the issue.

See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16588 for details.

Linus Torvalds 320b2b8de1 mm: keep a guard page below a grow-down stack segment
This is a rather minimally invasive patch to solve the problem of the
user stack growing into a memory mapped area below it.  Whenever we fill
the first page of the stack segment, expand the segment down by one
page.

Now, admittedly some odd application might _want_ the stack to grow down
into the preceding memory mapping, and so we may at some point need to
make this a process tunable (some people might also want to have more
than a single page of guarding), but let's try the minimal approach
first.

Tested with trivial application that maps a single page just below the
stack, and then starts recursing.  Without this, we will get a SIGSEGV
_after_ the stack has smashed the mapping.  With this patch, we'll get a
nice SIGBUS just as the stack touches the page just above the mapping.

Wu Fengguang e50e37201a writeback: balance_dirty_pages(): reduce calls to global_page_state
Reducing the number of times balance_dirty_pages calls global_page_state
reduces the cache references and so improves write performance on a
variety of workloads.

'perf stats' of simple fio write tests shows the reduction in cache
access.  Where the test is fio 'write,mmap,600Mb,pre_read' on AMD AthlonX2
with 3Gb memory (dirty_threshold approx 600 Mb) running each test 10
times, dropping the fasted & slowest values then taking the average &
standard deviation

		average (s.d.) in millions (10^6)
2.6.31-rc8	648.6 (14.6)
+patch		620.1 (16.5)

Achieving this reduction is by dropping clip_bdi_dirty_limit as it rereads
the counters to apply the dirty_threshold and moving this check up into
balance_dirty_pages where it has already read the counters.

Also by rearrange the for loop to only contain one copy of the limit tests
allows the pdflush test after the loop to use the local copies of the
counters rather than rereading them.

In the common case with no throttling it now calls global_page_state 5
fewer times and bdi_stat 2 fewer.

Fengguang:

This patch slightly changes behavior by replacing clip_bdi_dirty_limit()
with the explicit check (nr_reclaimable + nr_writeback >= dirty_thresh) to
avoid exceeding the dirty limit.  Since the bdi dirty limit is mostly
accurate we don't need to do routinely clip.  A simple dirty limit check
would be enough.

The check is necessary because, in principle we should throttle everything
calling balance_dirty_pages() when we're over the total limit, as said by
Peter.

We now set and clear dirty_exceeded not only based on bdi dirty limits,
but also on the global dirty limit.  The global limit check is added in
place of clip_bdi_dirty_limit() for safety and not intended as a behavior
change.  The bdi limits should be tight enough to keep all dirty pages
under the global limit at most time; occasional small exceeding should be
OK though.  The change makes the logic more obvious: the global limit is
the ultimate goal and shall be always imposed.

We may now start background writeback work based on outdated conditions.
That's safe because the bdi flush thread will (and have to) double check
the states.  It reduces overall overheads because the test based on old
states still have good chance to be right.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki f75ca96203 memcg: avoid css_get()
Now, memory cgroup increments css(cgroup subsys state)'s reference count
per a charged page.  And the reference count is kept until the page is
uncharged.  But this has 2 bad effect.

 1. Because css_get/put calls atomic_inc()/dec, heavy call of them
    on large smp will not scale well.
 2. Because css's refcnt cannot be in a state as "ready-to-release",
    cgroup's notify_on_release handler can't work with memcg.
 3. css's refcnt is atomic_t, it means smaller than 32bit. Maybe too small.

This has been a problem since the 1st merge of memcg.

This is a trial to remove css's refcnt per a page. Even if we remove
refcnt, pre_destroy() does enough synchronization as
  - check res->usage == 0.
  - check no pages on LRU.

This patch removes css's refcnt per page.  Even after this patch, at the
1st look, it seems css_get() is still called in try_charge().

But the logic is.

  - If a memcg of mm->owner is cached one, consume_stock() will work.
    At success, return immediately.
  - If consume_stock returns false, css_get() is called and go to
    slow path which may be blocked. At the end of slow path,
    css_put() is called and restart from the start if necessary.

So, in the fast path, we don't call css_get() and can avoid access to
shared counter. This patch can make the most possible case fast.

Here is a result of multi-threaded page fault benchmark.

Naoya Horiguchi 43131e141a HWPOISON, hugetlb: support hwpoison injection for hugepage
This patch enables hwpoison injection through debug/hwpoison interfaces,
with which we can test memory error handling for free or reserved
hugepages (which cannot be tested by madvise() injector).

[AK: Export PageHuge too for the injection module]

Naoya Horiguchi 93f70f900d HWPOISON, hugetlb: isolate corrupted hugepage
If error hugepage is not in-use, we can fully recovery from error
by dequeuing it from freelist, so return RECOVERY.
Otherwise whether or not we can recovery depends on user processes,
so return DELAYED.

For now all pages in the error hugepage are considered as hwpoisoned,
so count all of them in mce_bad_pages.

Naoya Horiguchi 7013febc89 HWPOISON, hugetlb: set/clear PG_hwpoison bits on hugepage
To avoid race condition between concurrent memory errors on identified
hugepage, we atomically test and set PG_hwpoison bit on the head page.
All pages in the error hugepage are considered as hwpoisoned
for now, so set and clear all PG_hwpoison bits in the hugepage
with page lock of the head page held.

Naoya Horiguchi 0fe6e20b9c hugetlb, rmap: add reverse mapping for hugepage
This patch adds reverse mapping feature for hugepage by introducing
mapcount for shared/private-mapped hugepage and anon_vma for
private-mapped hugepage.

While hugepage is not currently swappable, reverse mapping can be useful
for memory error handler.

Without this patch, memory error handler cannot identify processes
using the bad hugepage nor unmap it from them. That is:
- for shared hugepage:
  we can collect processes using a hugepage through pagecache,
  but can not unmap the hugepage because of the lack of mapcount.
- for privately mapped hugepage:
  we can neither collect processes nor unmap the hugepage.
This patch solves these problems.

This patch include the bug fix given by commit 23be7468e8, so reverts it.

Dependency:
  "hugetlb: move definition of is_vm_hugetlb_page() to hugepage_inline.h"

ChangeLog since May 24.
- create hugetlb_inline.h and move is_vm_hugetlb_index() in it.
- move functions setting up anon_vma for hugepage into mm/rmap.c.

ChangeLog since May 13.
- rebased to 2.6.34
- fix logic error (in case that private mapping and shared mapping coexist)
- move is_vm_hugetlb_page() into include/linux/mm.h to use this function
  from linear_page_index()
- define and use linear_hugepage_index() instead of compound_order()
- use page_move_anon_rmap() in hugetlb_cow()
- copy exclusive switch of __set_page_anon_rmap() into hugepage counterpart.
- revert commit 24be7468 completely
