8d547ff4ac mm/memory-failure.c: move refcount only in !MF_COUNT_INCREASED
mce-test detected a test failure when injecting error to a thp tail
page.  This is because we take page refcount of the tail page in
madvise_hwpoison() while the fix in commit a3e0f9e47d
("mm/memory-failure.c: transfer page count from head page to tail page
after split thp") assumes that we always take refcount on the head page.

When a real memory error happens we take refcount on the head page where
memory_failure() is called without MF_COUNT_INCREASED set, so it seems
to me that testing memory error on thp tail page using madvise makes
little sense.

This patch cancels moving refcount in !MF_COUNT_INCREASED for valid
testing.

1e4dd9461f slub: do not assert not having lock in removing freed partial
Vladimir reported the following issue:

Commit c65c1877bd ("slub: use lockdep_assert_held") requires
remove_partial() to be called with n->list_lock held, but free_partial()
called from kmem_cache_close() on cache destruction does not follow this
rule, leading to a warning:

His solution was to add a spinlock in order to quiet lockdep.  Although
there would be no contention to adding the lock, that lock also requires
disabling of interrupts which will have a larger impact on the system.

Instead of adding a spinlock to a location where it is not needed for
lockdep, make a __remove_partial() function that does not test if the
list_lock is held, as no one should have it due to it being freed.

Also added a __add_partial() function that does not do the lock
validation either, as it is not needed for the creation of the cache.

255d0884f5 mm/slub.c: list_lock may not be held in some circumstances
Commit c65c1877bd ("slub: use lockdep_assert_held") incorrectly
required that add_full() and remove_full() hold n->list_lock.  The lock
is only taken when kmem_cache_debug(s), since that's the only time it
actually does anything.

Require that the lock only be taken under such a condition.

Al Viro
d311d79de3 fix O_SYNC|O_APPEND syncing the wrong range on write()
It actually goes back to 2004 ([PATCH] Concurrent O_SYNC write support)
when sync_page_range() had been introduced; generic_file_write{,v}() correctly
synced
	pos_after_write - written .. pos_after_write - 1
but generic_file_aio_write() synced
	pos_before_write .. pos_before_write + written - 1
instead.  Which is not the same thing with O_APPEND, obviously.
A couple of years later correct variant had been killed off when
everything switched to use of generic_file_aio_write().

All users of generic_file_aio_write() are affected, and the same bug
has been copied into other instances of ->aio_write().

The fix is trivial; the only subtle point is that generic_write_sync()
ought to be inlined to avoid calculations useless for the majority of
calls.

a85d9df1ea mm: __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() uses spin_lock_irqsave() instead of spin_lock_irq()
During aio stress test, we observed the following lockdep warning.  This
mean AIO+numa_balancing is currently deadlockable.

The problem is, aio_migratepage disable interrupt, but
__set_page_dirty_nobuffers unintentionally enable it again.

Generally, all helper function should use spin_lock_irqsave() instead of
spin_lock_irq() because they don't know caller at all.

   other info that might help us debug this:
    Possible unsafe locking scenario:

f893ab41e4 mm/swap: fix race on swap_info reuse between swapoff and swapon
swapoff clear swap_info's SWP_USED flag prematurely and free its
resources after that.  A concurrent swapon will reuse this swap_info
while its previous resources are not cleared completely.

These late freed resources are:
 - p->percpu_cluster
 - swap_cgroup_ctrl[type]
 - block_device setting
 - inode->i_flags &= ~S_SWAPFILE

This patch clears the SWP_USED flag after all its resources are freed,
so that swapon can reuse this swap_info by alloc_swap_info() safely.

579f82901f swap: add a simple detector for inappropriate swapin readahead
This is a patch to improve swap readahead algorithm.  It's from Hugh and
I slightly changed it.

Hugh's original changelog:

swapin readahead does a blind readahead, whether or not the swapin is
sequential.  This may be ok on harddisk, because large reads have
relatively small costs, and if the readahead pages are unneeded they can
be reclaimed easily - though, what if their allocation forced reclaim of
useful pages? But on SSD devices large reads are more expensive than
small ones: if the readahead pages are unneeded, reading them in caused
significant overhead.

This patch adds very simplistic random read detection.  Stealing the
PageReadahead technique from Konstantin Khlebnikov's patch, avoiding the
vma/anon_vma sophistications of Shaohua Li's patch, swapin_nr_pages()
simply looks at readahead's current success rate, and narrows or widens
its readahead window accordingly.  There is little science to its
heuristic: it's about as stupid as can be whilst remaining effective.

The table below shows elapsed times (in centiseconds) when running a
single repetitive swapping load across a 1000MB mapping in 900MB ram
with 1GB swap (the harddisk tests had taken painfully too long when I
used mem=500M, but SSD shows similar results for that).

Vanilla is the 3.6-rc7 kernel on which I started; Shaohua denotes his
Sep 3 patch in mmotm and linux-next; HughOld denotes my Oct 1 patch
which Shaohua showed to be defective; HughNew this Nov 14 patch, with
page_cluster as usual at default of 3 (8-page reads); HughPC4 this same
patch with page_cluster 4 (16-page reads); HughPC0 with page_cluster 0
(1-page reads: no readahead).

HDD for swapping to harddisk, SSD for swapping to VertexII SSD.  Seq for
sequential access to the mapping, cycling five times around; Rand for
the same number of random touches.  Anon for a MAP_PRIVATE anon mapping;
Shmem for a MAP_SHARED anon mapping, equivalent to tmpfs.

One weakness of Shaohua's vma/anon_vma approach was that it did not
optimize Shmem: seen below.  Konstantin's approach was perhaps mistuned,
50% slower on Seq: did not compete and is not shown below.

Rand Shmem   45349   45215   28249   24268   24138   24332

These tests are, of course, two extremes of a very simple case: under
heavier mixed loads I've not yet observed any consistent improvement or
degradation, and wider testing would be welcome.

Shaohua Li:

Test shows Vanilla is slightly better in sequential workload than Hugh's
patch.  I observed with Hugh's patch sometimes the readahead size is
shrinked too fast (from 8 to 1 immediately) in sequential workload if
there is no hit.  And in such case, continuing doing readahead is good
actually.

I don't prepare a sophisticated algorithm for the sequential workload
because so far we can't guarantee sequential accessed pages are swap out
sequentially.  So I slightly change Hugh's heuristic - don't shrink
readahead size too fast.

Here is my test result (unit second, 3 runs average):
	Vanilla		Hugh		New
Seq	356		370		360
Random	4525		2447		2444

Attached graph is the swapin/swapout throughput I collected with 'vmstat
2'.  The first part is running a random workload (till around 1200 of
the x-axis) and the second part is running a sequential workload.
swapin and swapout throughput are almost identical in steady state in
both workloads.  These are expected behavior.  while in Vanilla, swapin
is much bigger than swapout especially in random workload (because wrong
readahead).

67b6c900dc mm: slub: work around unneeded lockdep warning
The slub code does some setup during early boot in
early_kmem_cache_node_alloc() with some local data.  There is no
possible way that another CPU can see this data, so the slub code
doesn't unnecessarily lock it.  However, some new lockdep asserts
check to make sure that add_partial() _always_ has the list_lock
held.

Just add the locking, even though it is technically unnecessary.

mutex for memcg_create_kmem_cache() to protect the tmp_name buffer that

778c14affa mm, oom: base root bonus on current usage
A 3% of system memory bonus is sometimes too excessive in comparison to
other processes.

With commit a63d83f427 ("oom: badness heuristic rewrite"), the OOM
killer tries to avoid killing privileged tasks by subtracting 3% of
overall memory (system or cgroup) from their per-task consumption.  But
as a result, all root tasks that consume less than 3% of overall memory
are considered equal, and so it only takes 33+ privileged tasks pushing
the system out of memory for the OOM killer to do something stupid and
kill dhclient or other root-owned processes.  For example, on a 32G
machine it can't tell the difference between the 1M agetty and the 10G
fork bomb member.

The changelog describes this 3% boost as the equivalent to the global
overcommit limit being 3% higher for privileged tasks, but this is not
the same as discounting 3% of overall memory from _every privileged task
individually_ during OOM selection.

Replace the 3% of system memory bonus with a 3% of current memory usage
bonus.

By giving root tasks a bonus that is proportional to their actual size,
they remain comparable even when relatively small.  In the example
above, the OOM killer will discount the 1M agetty's 256 badness points
down to 179, and the 10G fork bomb's 262144 points down to 183500 points
and make the right choice, instead of discounting both to 0 and killing
agetty because it's first in the task list.

a03208652d mm/slub.c: fix page->_count corruption (again)
Commit abca7c4965 ("mm: fix slab->page _count corruption when using
slub") notes that we can not _set_ a page->counters directly, except
when using a real double-cmpxchg.  Doing so can lose updates to
->_count.

That is an absolute rule:

        You may not *set* page->counters except via a cmpxchg.

Commit abca7c4965 fixed this for the folks who have the slub
cmpxchg_double code turned off at compile time, but it left the bad case
alone.  It can still be reached, and the same bug triggered in two
cases:

1. Turning on slub debugging at runtime, which is available on
   the distro kernels that I looked at.
2. On 64-bit CPUs with no CMPXCHG16B (some early AMD x86-64
   cpus, evidently)

There are at least 3 ways we could fix this:

1. Take all of the exising calls to cmpxchg_double_slab() and
   __cmpxchg_double_slab() and convert them to take an old, new
   and target 'struct page'.
2. Do (1), but with the newly-introduced 'slub_data'.
3. Do some magic inside the two cmpxchg...slab() functions to
   pull the counters out of new_counters and only set those
   fields in page->{inuse,frozen,objects}.

I've done (2) as well, but it's a bunch more code.  This patch is an
attempt at (3).  This was the most straightforward and foolproof way
that I could think to do this.

This would also technically allow us to get rid of the ugly

#if defined(CONFIG_HAVE_CMPXCHG_DOUBLE) && \
       defined(CONFIG_HAVE_ALIGNED_STRUCT_PAGE)

in 'struct page', but leaving it alone has the added benefit that
'counters' stays 'unsigned' instead of 'unsigned long', so all the
copies that the slub code does stay a bit smaller.

8790c71a18 mm/mempolicy.c: fix mempolicy printing in numa_maps
As a result of commit 5606e3877a ("mm: numa: Migrate on reference
policy"), /proc/<pid>/numa_maps prints the mempolicy for any <pid> as
"prefer:N" for the local node, N, of the process reading the file.

This should only be printed when the mempolicy of <pid> is
MPOL_PREFERRED for node N.

If the process is actually only using the default mempolicy for local
node allocation, make sure "default" is printed as expected.

bcf1647d08 zsmalloc: move it under mm
This patch moves zsmalloc under mm directory.

Before that, description will explain why we have needed custom
allocator.

Zsmalloc is a new slab-based memory allocator for storing compressed
pages.  It is designed for low fragmentation and high allocation success
rate on large object, but <= PAGE_SIZE allocations.

zsmalloc differs from the kernel slab allocator in two primary ways to
achieve these design goals.

zsmalloc never requires high order page allocations to back slabs, or
"size classes" in zsmalloc terms.  Instead it allows multiple
single-order pages to be stitched together into a "zspage" which backs
the slab.  This allows for higher allocation success rate under memory
pressure.

Also, zsmalloc allows objects to span page boundaries within the zspage.
This allows for lower fragmentation than could be had with the kernel
slab allocator for objects between PAGE_SIZE/2 and PAGE_SIZE.  With the
kernel slab allocator, if a page compresses to 60% of it original size,
the memory savings gained through compression is lost in fragmentation
because another object of the same size can't be stored in the leftover
space.

This ability to span pages results in zsmalloc allocations not being
directly addressable by the user.  The user is given an
non-dereferencable handle in response to an allocation request.  That
handle must be mapped, using zs_map_object(), which returns a pointer to
the mapped region that can be used.  The mapping is necessary since the
object data may reside in two different noncontigious pages.

The zsmalloc fulfills the allocation needs for zram perfectly

58d5640ebd mm/readahead.c: fix do_readahead() for no readpage(s)
Commit 63d0f0a3c7 ("mm/readahead.c:do_readhead(): don't check for
->readpage") unintentionally made do_readahead return 0 for all valid
files regardless of whether readahead was supported, rather than the
expected -EINVAL.  This gets forwarded on to userspace, and results in
sys_readahead appearing to succeed in cases that don't make sense (e.g.
when called on pipes or sockets).  This issue is detected by the LTP
readahead01 testcase.

As the exact return value of force_page_cache_readahead is currently
never used, we can simplify it to return only 0 or -EINVAL (when
readpage or readpages is missing).  With that in place we can simply
forward on the return value of force_page_cache_readahead in
do_readahead.

This patch performs said change, restoring the expected semantics.

Commit 309381feae ("mm: dump page when hitting a VM_BUG_ON using

But, most of the ones in the slub code are for _temporary_ 'struct
page's which are declared on the stack and likely have lots of gunk in
them.  Dumping their contents out will just confuse folks looking at
bad_page() output.  Plus, if we try to page_to_pfn() on them or
soemthing, we'll probably oops anyway.

Turn them back in to VM_BUG_ON()s.

ba3253c78d slab: fix wrong retval on kmem_cache_create_memcg error path
On kmem_cache_create_memcg() error path we set 'err', but leave 's' (the
new cache ptr) undefined.  The latter can be NULL if we could not
allocate the cache, or pointing to a freed area if we failed somewhere
later while trying to initialize it.  Initially we checked 'err'
immediately before exiting the function and returned NULL if it was set
ignoring the value of 's':

    out_unlock:
        ...
        if (err) {
            /* report error */
            return NULL;
        }
        return s;

Recently this check was, in fact, broken by commit f717eb3abb ("slab:
do not panic if we fail to create memcg cache"), which turned it to:

    out_unlock:
        ...
        if (err && !memcg) {
            /* report error */
            return NULL;
        }
        return s;

As a result, if we are failing creating a cache for a memcg, we will
skip the check and return 's' that can contain crap.  Obviously, commit
f717eb3abb intended not to return crap on error allocating a cache for
a memcg, but only to remove the error reporting in this case, so the
check should look like this:

    out_unlock:
        ...
        if (err) {
            if (!memcg)
                return NULL;
            /* report error */
            return NULL;
        }
        return s;

The command line parsing takes place before jump labels are initialised
which generates a warning if numa_balancing= is specified and
CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL is set.

On older kernels before commit c4b2c0c5f6 ("static_key: WARN on usage

patch enables automatic numa balancing later in the initialisation
process if numa_balancing= is specified.

a1c3bfb2f6 mm/page-writeback.c: do not count anon pages as dirtyable memory
The VM is currently heavily tuned to avoid swapping.  Whether that is
good or bad is a separate discussion, but as long as the VM won't swap
to make room for dirty cache, we can not consider anonymous pages when
calculating the amount of dirtyable memory, the baseline to which
dirty_background_ratio and dirty_ratio are applied.

A simple workload that occupies a significant size (40+%, depending on
memory layout, storage speeds etc.) of memory with anon/tmpfs pages and
uses the remainder for a streaming writer demonstrates this problem.  In
that case, the actual cache pages are a small fraction of what is
considered dirtyable overall, which results in an relatively large
portion of the cache pages to be dirtied.  As kswapd starts rotating
these, random tasks enter direct reclaim and stall on IO.

Only consider free pages and file pages dirtyable.

a804552b9a mm/page-writeback.c: fix dirty_balance_reserve subtraction from dirtyable memory
Tejun reported stuttering and latency spikes on a system where random
tasks would enter direct reclaim and get stuck on dirty pages.  Around
50% of memory was occupied by tmpfs backed by an SSD, and another disk
(rotating) was reading and writing at max speed to shrink a partition.

: The problem was pretty ridiculous.  It's a 8gig machine w/ one ssd and 10k
: rpm harddrive and I could reliably reproduce constant stuttering every
: several seconds for as long as buffered IO was going on on the hard drive
: either with tmpfs occupying somewhere above 4gig or a test program which
: allocates about the same amount of anon memory.  Although swap usage was
: zero, turning off swap also made the problem go away too.
:
: The trigger conditions seem quite plausible - high anon memory usage w/
: heavy buffered IO and swap configured - and it's highly likely that this
: is happening in the wild too.  (this can happen with copying large files
: to usb sticks too, right?)

This patch (of 2):

The dirty_balance_reserve is an approximation of the fraction of free
pages that the page allocator does not make available for page cache
allocations.  As a result, it has to be taken into account when
calculating the amount of "dirtyable memory", the baseline to which
dirty_background_ratio and dirty_ratio are applied.

However, currently the reserve is subtracted from the sum of free and
reclaimable pages, which is non-sensical and leads to erroneous results
when the system is dominated by unreclaimable pages and the
dirty_balance_reserve is bigger than free+reclaimable.  In that case, at
least the already allocated cache should be considered dirtyable.

Fix the calculation by subtracting the reserve from the amount of free
pages, then adding the reclaimable pages on top.

add688fbd3 Revert "mm/vmalloc: interchage the implementation of vmalloc_to_{pfn,page}"
Revert commit ece86e222d, which was intended as a small performance
improvement.

Despite the claim that the patch doesn't introduce any functional
changes in fact it does.

The "no page" path behaves different now.  Originally, vmalloc_to_page
might return NULL under some conditions, with new implementation it
returns pfn_to_page(0) which is not the same as NULL.

Simple test shows the difference.

test.c

#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/vmalloc.h>
#include <linux/mm.h>

int __init myi(void)
{
	struct page *p;
	void *v;

	v = vmalloc(PAGE_SIZE);
	/* trigger the "no page" path in vmalloc_to_page*/
	vfree(v);

	p = vmalloc_to_page(v);

	pr_err("expected val = NULL, returned val = %p", p);

	return -EBUSY;
}

void __exit mye(void)
{

}
module_init(myi)
module_exit(mye)

Before interchange:
expected val = NULL, returned val =   (null)

After interchange:
expected val = NULL, returned val = c7ebe000

fb5bb60cd0 memblock: don't silently align size in memblock_virt_alloc()
In original __alloc_memory_core_early() for bootmem wrapper, we do not
align size silently.

We should not do that, as later free with old size will leave some range
not freed.

It's obvious that code is copied from memblock_base_nid(), and that code
is wrong for the same reason.

Also remove that in memblock_alloc_base.

9fe55eea7e Fix race when checking i_size on direct i/o read
So far I've had one ACK for this, and no other comments. So I think it
is probably time to send this via some suitable tree. I'm guessing that
the vfs tree would be the most appropriate route, but not sure that
there is one at the moment (don't see anything recent at kernel.org)
so in that case I think -mm is the "back up plan". Al, please let me
know if you will take this?

Steve.

---------------------

Following on from the "Re: [PATCH v3] vfs: fix a bug when we do some dio
reads with append dio writes" thread on linux-fsdevel, this patch is my
current version of the fix proposed as option (b) in that thread.

Removing the i_size test from the direct i/o read path at vfs level
means that filesystems now have to deal with requests which are beyond
i_size themselves. These I've divided into three sets:

 a) Those with "no op" ->direct_IO (9p, cifs, ceph)
These are obviously not going to be an issue

 b) Those with "home brew" ->direct_IO (nfs, fuse)
I've been told that NFS should not have any problem with the larger
i_size, however I've added an extra test to FUSE to duplicate the
original behaviour just to be on the safe side.

 c) Those using __blockdev_direct_IO()
These call through to ->get_block() which should deal with the EOF
condition correctly. I've verified that with GFS2 and I believe that
Zheng has verified it for ext4. I've also run the test on XFS and it
passes both before and after this change.

The part of the patch in filemap.c looks a lot larger than it really is
- there are only two lines of real change. The rest is just indentation
of the contained code.

There remains a test of i_size though, which was added for btrfs. It
doesn't cause the other filesystems a problem as the test is performed
after ->direct_IO has been called. It is possible that there is a race
that does matter to btrfs, however this patch doesn't change that, so
its still an overall improvement.

34228d473e mm: ignore VM_SOFTDIRTY on VMA merging
The VM_SOFTDIRTY bit affects vma merge routine: if two VMAs has all bits
in vm_flags matched except dirty bit the kernel can't longer merge them
and this forces the kernel to generate new VMAs instead.

It finally may lead to the situation when userspace application reaches
vm.max_map_count limit and get crashed in worse case

 | (gimp:11768): GLib-ERROR **: gmem.c:110: failed to allocate 4096 bytes
 |
 | (file-tiff-load:12038): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: file-tiff-load: gimp_wire_read(): error

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67651
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719619#c0

Initial problem came from missed VM_SOFTDIRTY in do_brk() routine but
even if we would set up VM_SOFTDIRTY here, there is still a way to
prevent VMAs from merging: one can call

 | echo 4 > /proc/$PID/clear_refs

and clear all VM_SOFTDIRTY over all VMAs presented in memory map, then
new do_brk() will try to extend old VMA and finds that dirty bit doesn't
match thus new VMA will be generated.

As discussed with Pavel, the right approach should be to ignore
VM_SOFTDIRTY bit when we're trying to merge VMAs and if merge successed
we mark extended VMA with dirty bit where needed.

0eef615665 memcg: fix css reference leak and endless loop in mem_cgroup_iter
Commit 19f3940286 ("memcg: simplify mem_cgroup_iter") has reorganized
mem_cgroup_iter code in order to simplify it.  A part of that change was
dropping an optimization which didn't call css_tryget on the root of the
walked tree.  The patch however didn't change the css_put part in
mem_cgroup_iter which excludes root.

This wasn't an issue at the time because __mem_cgroup_iter_next bailed
out for root early without taking a reference as cgroup iterators
(css_next_descendant_pre) didn't visit root themselves.

Nevertheless cgroup iterators have been reworked to visit root by commit
bd8815a6d8 ("cgroup: make css_for_each_descendant() and friends
include the origin css in the iteration") when the root bypass have been
dropped in __mem_cgroup_iter_next.  This means that css_put is not
called for root and so css along with mem_cgroup and other cgroup
internal object tied by css lifetime are never freed.

Fix the issue by reintroducing root check in __mem_cgroup_iter_next and
do not take css reference for it.

This reference counting magic protects us also from another issue, an
endless loop reported by Hugh Dickins when reclaim races with root
removal and css_tryget called by iterator internally would fail.  There
would be no other nodes to visit so __mem_cgroup_iter_next would return
NULL and mem_cgroup_iter would interpret it as "start looping from root
again" and so mem_cgroup_iter would loop forever internally.

ecc736fc3c memcg: fix endless loop caused by mem_cgroup_iter
Hugh has reported an endless loop when the hardlimit reclaim sees the
same group all the time.  This might happen when the reclaim races with
the memcg removal.

shrink_zone
                                                [rmdir root]
  mem_cgroup_iter(root, NULL, reclaim)
    // prev = NULL
    rcu_read_lock()
    mem_cgroup_iter_load
      last_visited = iter->last_visited   // gets root || NULL
      css_tryget(last_visited)            // failed
      last_visited = NULL                 [1]
    memcg = root = __mem_cgroup_iter_next(root, NULL)
    mem_cgroup_iter_update
      iter->last_visited = root;
    reclaim->generation = iter->generation

 mem_cgroup_iter(root, root, reclaim)
   // prev = root
   rcu_read_lock
    mem_cgroup_iter_load
      last_visited = iter->last_visited   // gets root
      css_tryget(last_visited)            // failed
    [1]

The issue seemed to be introduced by commit 5f57816197 ("memcg: relax
memcg iter caching") which has replaced unconditional css_get/css_put by
css_tryget/css_put for the cached iterator.

This patch fixes the issue by skipping css_tryget on the root of the
tree walk in mem_cgroup_iter_load and symmetrically doesn't release it
in mem_cgroup_iter_update.

d49ad93554 mm, oom: prefer thread group leaders for display purposes
When two threads have the same badness score, it's preferable to kill
the thread group leader so that the actual process name is printed to
the kernel log rather than the thread group name which may be shared
amongst several processes.

This was the behavior when select_bad_process() used to do
for_each_process(), but it now iterates threads instead and leads to
ambiguity.

It is surprising that the mem_cgroup iterator can return memcgs which

this appears not to present an actual problem; but it may be better to
