4f588331bd mm, vmscan: avoid passing in classzone_idx unnecessarily to compaction_ready
The scan_control structure has enough information available for
compaction_ready() to make a decision.  The classzone_idx manipulations
in shrink_zones() are no longer necessary as the highest populated zone
is no longer used to determine if shrink_slab should be called or not.

a5f5f91da6 mm: convert zone_reclaim to node_reclaim
As reclaim is now per-node based, convert zone_reclaim to be
node_reclaim.  It is possible that a node will be reclaimed multiple
times if it has multiple zones but this is unavoidable without caching
all nodes traversed so far.  The documentation and interface to
userspace is the same from a configuration perspective and will will be
similar in behaviour unless the node-local allocation requests were also
limited to lower zones.

52e9f87ae8 mm, page_alloc: wake kswapd based on the highest eligible zone
The ac_classzone_idx is used as the basis for waking kswapd and that is
based on the preferred zoneref.  If the preferred zoneref's first zone
is lower than what is available on other nodes, it's possible that
kswapd is woken on a zone with only higher, but still eligible, zones.
As classzone_idx is strictly adhered to now, it causes a problem because
eligible pages are skipped.

For example, node 0 has only DMA32 and node 1 has only NORMAL.  An
allocating context running on node 0 may wake kswapd on node 1 telling
it to skip all NORMAL pages.

e1a556374a mm, vmscan: only wakeup kswapd once per node for the requested classzone
kswapd is woken when zones are below the low watermark but the wakeup
decision is not taking the classzone into account.  Now that reclaim is
node-based, it is only required to wake kswapd once per node and only if
all zones are unbalanced for the requested classzone.

Note that one node might be checked multiple times if the zonelist is
ordered by node because there is no cheap way of tracking what nodes
have already been visited.  For zone-ordering, each node should be
checked only once.

c4a25635b6 mm: move vmscan writes and file write accounting to the node
As reclaim is now node-based, it follows that page write activity due to
page reclaim should also be accounted for on the node.  For consistency,
also account page writes and page dirtying on a per-node basis.

After this patch, there are a few remaining zone counters that may appear
strange but are fine.  NUMA stats are still per-zone as this is a
user-space interface that tools consume.  NR_MLOCK, NR_SLAB_*,
NR_PAGETABLE, NR_KERNEL_STACK and NR_BOUNCE are all allocations that
potentially pin low memory and cannot trivially be reclaimed on demand.
This information is still useful for debugging a page allocation failure
warning.

11fb998986 mm: move most file-based accounting to the node
There are now a number of accounting oddities such as mapped file pages
being accounted for on the node while the total number of file pages are
accounted on the zone.  This can be coped with to some extent but it's
confusing so this patch moves the relevant file-based accounted.  Due to
throttling logic in the page allocator for reliable OOM detection, it is
still necessary to track dirty and writeback pages on a per-zone basis.

NR_FILE_PAGES  is the number of        file pages.
NR_FILE_MAPPED is the number of mapped file pages.

have

NR_FILE_PAGES  is the number of        file pages.

NR_ANON_MAPPED is the number of mapped anon pages.

ef8f232799 mm, memcg: move memcg limit enforcement from zones to nodes
Memcg needs adjustment after moving LRUs to the node.  Limits are
tracked per memcg but the soft-limit excess is tracked per zone.  As
global page reclaim is based on the node, it is easy to imagine a
situation where a zone soft limit is exceeded even though the memcg
limit is fine.

This patch moves the soft limit tree the node.  Technically, all the
variable names should also change but people are already familiar by the
meaning of "mz" even if "mn" would be a more appropriate name now.

a9dd0a8310 mm, vmscan: make shrink_node decisions more node-centric
Earlier patches focused on having direct reclaim and kswapd use data
that is node-centric for reclaiming but shrink_node() itself still uses
too much zone information.  This patch removes unnecessary zone-based
information with the most important decision being whether to continue
reclaim or not.  Some memcg APIs are adjusted as a result even though
memcg itself still uses some zone information.

86c79f6b54 mm: vmscan: do not reclaim from kswapd if there is any eligible zone
kswapd scans from highest to lowest for a zone that requires balancing.
This was necessary when reclaim was per-zone to fairly age pages on
lower zones.  Now that we are reclaiming on a per-node basis, any
eligible zone can be used and pages will still be aged fairly.  This
patch avoids reclaiming excessively unless buffer_heads are over the
limit and it's necessary to reclaim from a higher zone than requested by
the waker of kswapd to relieve low memory pressure.

kswapd goes through some complex steps trying to figure out if it should
stay awake based on the classzone_idx and the requested order.  It is

order.  This patch irons out the logic to check just that and the end
result is less headache inducing.

1d82de618d mm, vmscan: make kswapd reclaim in terms of nodes
Patch "mm: vmscan: Begin reclaiming pages on a per-node basis" started
thinking of reclaim in terms of nodes but kswapd is still zone-centric.
This patch gets rid of many of the node-based versus zone-based
decisions.

o A node is considered balanced when any eligible lower zone is balanced.
  This eliminates one class of age-inversion problem because we avoid
  reclaiming a newer page just because it's in the wrong zone
o pgdat_balanced disappears because we now only care about one zone being
  balanced.
o Some anomalies related to writeback and congestion tracking being based on
  zones disappear.
o kswapd no longer has to take care to reclaim zones in the reverse order
  that the page allocator uses.
o Most importantly of all, reclaim from node 0 with multiple zones will
  have similar aging and reclaiming characteristics as every
  other node.

f7b60926eb mm, vmscan: have kswapd only scan based on the highest requested zone
kswapd checks all eligible zones to see if they need balancing even if
it was woken for a lower zone.  This made sense when we reclaimed on a
per-zone basis because we wanted to shrink zones fairly so avoid
age-inversion problems.  Ideally this is completely unnecessary when
reclaiming on a per-node basis.  In theory, there may still be anomalies
when all requests are for lower zones and very old pages are preserved
in higher zones but this should be the exceptional case.

b2e18757f2 mm, vmscan: begin reclaiming pages on a per-node basis
This patch makes reclaim decisions on a per-node basis.  A reclaimer
knows what zone is required by the allocation request and skips pages
from higher zones.  In many cases this will be ok because it's a
GFP_HIGHMEM request of some description.  On 64-bit, ZONE_DMA32 requests
will cause some problems but 32-bit devices on 64-bit platforms are
increasingly rare.  Historically it would have been a major problem on
32-bit with big Highmem:Lowmem ratios but such configurations are also
now rare and even where they exist, they are not encouraged.  If it
really becomes a problem, it'll manifest as very low reclaim
efficiencies.

0f66114893 mm, mmzone: clarify the usage of zone padding
Zone padding separates write-intensive fields used by page allocation,
compaction and vmstats but the comments are a little misleading and need

599d0c954f mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to node
This moves the LRU lists from the zone to the node and related data such
as counters, tracing, congestion tracking and writeback tracking.

Unfortunately, due to reclaim and compaction retry logic, it is
necessary to account for the number of LRU pages on both zone and node
logic.  Most reclaim logic is based on the node counters but the retry
logic uses the zone counters which do not distinguish inactive and
active sizes.  It would be possible to leave the LRU counters on a
per-zone basis but it's a heavier calculation across multiple cache
lines that is much more frequent than the retry checks.

Other than the LRU counters, this is mostly a mechanical patch but note
that it introduces a number of anomalies.  For example, the scans are
per-zone but using per-node counters.  We also mark a node as congested
when a zone is congested.  This causes weird problems that are fixed
later but is easier to review.

In the event that there is excessive overhead on 32-bit systems due to
the nodes being on LRU then there are two potential solutions

1. Long-term isolation of highmem pages when reclaim is lowmem

   When pages are skipped, they are immediately added back onto the LRU
   list. If lowmem reclaim persisted for long periods of time, the same
   highmem pages get continually scanned. The idea would be that lowmem
   keeps those pages on a separate list until a reclaim for highmem pages
   arrives that splices the highmem pages back onto the LRU. It potentially
   could be implemented similar to the UNEVICTABLE list.

   That would reduce the skip rate with the potential corner case is that
   highmem pages have to be scanned and reclaimed to free lowmem slab pages.

2. Linear scan lowmem pages if the initial LRU shrink fails

   This will break LRU ordering but may be preferable and faster during
   memory pressure than skipping LRU pages.

a52633d8e9 mm, vmscan: move lru_lock to the node
Node-based reclaim requires node-based LRUs and locking.  This is a
preparation patch that just moves the lru_lock to the node so later
patches are easier to review.  It is a mechanical change but note this
patch makes contention worse because the LRU lock is hotter and direct
reclaim and kswapd can contend on the same lock even when reclaiming
from different zones.

75ef718405 mm, vmstat: add infrastructure for per-node vmstats
Patchset: "Move LRU page reclaim from zones to nodes v9"

This series moves LRUs from the zones to the node.  While this is a
current rebase, the test results were based on mmotm as of June 23rd.
Conceptually, this series is simple but there are a lot of details.
Some of the broad motivations for this are;

1. The residency of a page partially depends on what zone the page was
   allocated from.  This is partially combatted by the fair zone allocation
   policy but that is a partial solution that introduces overhead in the
   page allocator paths.

2. Currently, reclaim on node 0 behaves slightly different to node 1. For
   example, direct reclaim scans in zonelist order and reclaims even if
   the zone is over the high watermark regardless of the age of pages
   in that LRU. Kswapd on the other hand starts reclaim on the highest
   unbalanced zone. A difference in distribution of file/anon pages due
   to when they were allocated results can result in a difference in
   again. While the fair zone allocation policy mitigates some of the
   problems here, the page reclaim results on a multi-zone node will
   always be different to a single-zone node.
   it was scheduled on as a result.

3. kswapd and the page allocator scan zones in the opposite order to
   avoid interfering with each other but it's sensitive to timing.  This
   mitigates the page allocator using pages that were allocated very recently
   in the ideal case but it's sensitive to timing. When kswapd is allocating
   from lower zones then it's great but during the rebalancing of the highest
   zone, the page allocator and kswapd interfere with each other. It's worse
   if the highest zone is small and difficult to balance.

4. slab shrinkers are node-based which makes it harder to identify the exact
   relationship between slab reclaim and LRU reclaim.

The reason we have zone-based reclaim is that we used to have
large highmem zones in common configurations and it was necessary
to quickly find ZONE_NORMAL pages for reclaim. Today, this is much
less of a concern as machines with lots of memory will (or should) use
64-bit kernels. Combinations of 32-bit hardware and 64-bit hardware are
rare. Machines that do use highmem should have relatively low highmem:lowmem
ratios than we worried about in the past.

Conceptually, moving to node LRUs should be easier to understand. The
page allocator plays fewer tricks to game reclaim and reclaim behaves
similarly on all nodes.

The series has been tested on a 16 core UMA machine and a 2-socket 48
core NUMA machine. The UMA results are presented in most cases as the NUMA
machine behaved similarly.

This is a microbenchmark that shows the benefit of removing the fair zone
allocation policy. It was tested uip to order-4 but only orders 0 and 1 are
shown as the other orders were comparable.

This shows a steady improvement throughout. The primary benefit is from
reduced system CPU usage which is obvious from the overall times;

tiobench on ext4
----------------

tiobench is a benchmark that artifically benefits if old pages remain resident
while new pages get reclaimed. The fair zone allocation policy mitigates this
problem so pages age fairly. While the benchmark has problems, it is important
that tiobench performance remains constant as it implies that page aging
problems that the fair zone allocation policy fixes are not re-introduced.

pgbench is a database benchmark that can be sensitive to page reclaim
decisions. This also checks if removing the fair zone allocation policy
is safe

It basically shows that kswapd was active at roughly the same rate in
both kernels. There was also comparable slab scanning activity and direct
reclaim was avoided in both cases. There appears to be a large difference
in numbers of inodes reclaimed but the workload has few active inodes and
is likely a timing artifact.

stutter
-------

stutter simulates a simple workload. One part uses a lot of anonymous
memory, a second measures mmap latency and a third copies a large file.
The primary metric is checking for mmap latency.

While this is not guaranteed in all cases, this particular test showed
a large reduction in direct reclaim activity. It's also worth noting
that no page writes were issued from reclaim context.

This series is not without its hazards. There are at least three areas
that I'm concerned with even though I could not reproduce any problems in
that area.

1. Reclaim/compaction is going to be affected because the amount of reclaim is
   no longer targetted at a specific zone. Compaction works on a per-zone basis
   so there is no guarantee that reclaiming a few THP's worth page pages will
   have a positive impact on compaction success rates.

2. The Slab/LRU reclaim ratio is affected because the frequency the shrinkers
   are called is now different. This may or may not be a problem but if it
   is, it'll be because shrinkers are not called enough and some balancing
   is required.

3. The anon/file reclaim ratio may be affected. Pages about to be dirtied are
   distributed between zones and the fair zone allocation policy used to do
   something very similar for anon. The distribution is now different but not
   necessarily in any way that matters but it's still worth bearing in mind.

VM statistic counters for reclaim decisions are zone-based.  If the kernel
is to reclaim on a per-node basis then we need to track per-node
statistics but there is no infrastructure for that.  The most notable
change is that the old node_page_state is renamed to
sum_zone_node_page_state.  The new node_page_state takes a pglist_data and
uses per-node stats but none exist yet.  There is some renaming such as
vm_stat to vm_zone_stat and the addition of vm_node_stat and the renaming
of mod_state to mod_zone_state.  Otherwise, this is mostly a mechanical
patch with no functional change.  There is a lot of similarity between the
node and zone helpers which is unfortunate but there was no obvious way of
reusing the code and maintaining type safety.

fec1e5f987 cpuset, mm: fix TIF_MEMDIE check in cpuset_change_task_nodemask
Commit c0ff7453bb ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when
changing cpuset's mems") has added TIF_MEMDIE and PF_EXITING check but
it is checking the flag on the current task rather than the given one.

This doesn't make much sense and it is actually wrong.  If the current
task which updates the nodemask of a cpuset got killed by the OOM killer
then a part of the cpuset cgroup processes would have incompatible
nodemask which is surprising to say the least.

The comment suggests the intention was to skip oom victim or an exiting
task so we should be checking the given task.  But even then it would be
layering violation because it is the memory allocator to interpret the
TIF_MEMDIE meaning.  Simply drop both checks.  All tasks in the cpuset
should simply follow the same mask.

a34c80a729 freezer, oom: check TIF_MEMDIE on the correct task
freezing_slow_path() is checking TIF_MEMDIE to skip OOM killed tasks.
It is, however, checking the flag on the current task rather than the
given one.  This is really confusing because freezing() can be called
also on !current tasks.  It would end up working correctly for its main
purpose because __refrigerator will be always called on the current task
so the oom victim will never get frozen.  But it could lead to
surprising results when a task which is freezing a cgroup got oom killed
because only part of the cgroup would get frozen.  This is highly
unlikely but worth fixing as the resulting code would be more clear
anyway.

55779ec759 mm: fix vm-scalability regression in cgroup-aware workingset code
Commit 23047a96d7 ("mm: workingset: per-cgroup cache thrash
detection") added a page->mem_cgroup lookup to the cache eviction,
refault, and activation paths, as well as locking to the activation
path, and the vm-scalability tests showed a regression of -23%.

While the test in question is an artificial worst-case scenario that
doesn't occur in real workloads - reading two sparse files in parallel
at full CPU speed just to hammer the LRU paths - there is still some
optimizations that can be done in those paths.

Inline the lookup functions to eliminate calls.  Also, page->mem_cgroup
doesn't need to be stabilized when counting an activation; we merely
need to hold the RCU lock to prevent the memcg from being freed.

This cuts down on overhead quite a bit:

091f362c53 mm, oom: tighten task_will_free_mem() locking
"mm, oom: fortify task_will_free_mem" has dropped task_lock around
task_will_free_mem in oom_kill_process bacause it assumed that a
potential race when the selected task exits will not be a problem as the
oom_reaper will call exit_oom_victim.

Tetsuo was objecting that nommu doesn't have oom_reaper so the race
would be still possible.  The code would be racy and lockup prone
theoretically in other aspects without the oom reaper anyway so I didn't
considered this a big deal.  But it seems that further changes I am
planning in this area will benefit from stable task->mm in this path as
well.  So let's drop find_lock_task_mm from task_will_free_mem and call
it from under task_lock as we did previously.  Just pull the task->mm !=
NULL check inside the function.

a373966d1f mm, oom: hide mm which is shared with kthread or global init
The only case where the oom_reaper is not triggered for the oom victim
is when it shares the memory with a kernel thread (aka use_mm) or with
the global init.  After "mm, oom: skip vforked tasks from being
selected" the victim cannot be a vforked task of the global init so we
are left with clone(CLONE_VM) (without CLONE_SIGHAND).  use_mm() users
are quite rare as well.

In order to help forward progress for the OOM killer, make sure that
this really rare case will not get in the way - we do this by hiding the
mm from the oom killer by setting MMF_OOM_REAPED flag for it.
oom_scan_process_thread will ignore any TIF_MEMDIE task if it has
MMF_OOM_REAPED flag set to catch these oom victims.

After this patch we should guarantee forward progress for the OOM killer
even when the selected victim is sharing memory with a kernel thread or
global init as long as the victims mm is still alive.

11a410d516 mm, oom_reaper: do not attempt to reap a task more than twice
oom_reaper relies on the mmap_sem for read to do its job.  Many places
which might block readers have been converted to use down_write_killable
and that has reduced chances of the contention a lot.  Some paths where
the mmap_sem is held for write can take other locks and they might
either be not prepared to fail due to fatal signal pending or too
impractical to be changed.

This patch introduces MMF_OOM_NOT_REAPABLE flag which gets set after the
first attempt to reap a task's mm fails.  If the flag is present after
the failure then we set MMF_OOM_REAPED to hide this mm from the oom
killer completely so it can go and chose another victim.

As a result a risk of OOM deadlock when the oom victim would be blocked
indefinetly and so the oom killer cannot make any progress should be
mitigated considerably while we still try really hard to perform all
reclaim attempts and stay predictable in the behavior.

696453e666 mm, oom: task_will_free_mem should skip oom_reaped tasks
The 0-day robot has encountered the following:

   oom_reaper: reaped process 3914 (trinity-c0), now anon-rss:0kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:28148kB

oom_reaper is trying to reap the same task again and again.

This is possible only when the oom killer is bypassed because of
task_will_free_mem because we skip over tasks with MMF_OOM_REAPED
already set during select_bad_process.  Teach task_will_free_mem to skip
over MMF_OOM_REAPED tasks as well because they will be unlikely to free
anything more.

1af8bb4326 mm, oom: fortify task_will_free_mem()
task_will_free_mem is rather weak.  It doesn't really tell whether the
task has chance to drop its mm.  98748bd722 ("oom: consider
multi-threaded tasks in task_will_free_mem") made a first step into making
it more robust for multi-threaded applications so now we know that the
whole process is going down and probably drop the mm.

This patch builds on top for more complex scenarios where mm is shared
between different processes - CLONE_VM without CLONE_SIGHAND, or in kernel
use_mm().

Make sure that all processes sharing the mm are killed or exiting.  This
will allow us to replace try_oom_reaper by wake_oom_reaper because
task_will_free_mem implies the task is reapable now.  Therefore all paths
which bypass the oom killer are now reapable and so they shouldn't lock up
the oom killer.

97fd49c235 mm, oom: kill all tasks sharing the mm
Currently oom_kill_process skips both the oom reaper and SIG_KILL if a
process sharing the same mm is unkillable via OOM_ADJUST_MIN.  After "mm,
oom_adj: make sure processes sharing mm have same view of oom_score_adj"
all such processes are sharing the same value so we shouldn't see such a
task at all (oom_badness would rule them out).

We can still encounter oom disabled vforked task which has to be killed as
well if we want to have other tasks sharing the mm reapable because it can
access the memory before doing exec.  Killing such a task should be
acceptable because it is highly unlikely it has done anything useful
because it cannot modify any memory before it calls exec.  An alternative
would be to keep the task alive and skip the oom reaper and risk all the
weird corner cases where the OOM killer cannot make forward progress
because the oom victim hung somewhere on the way to exit.

[rientjes@google.com - drop printk when OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN killed task
 the setting is inherently racy and we cannot do much about it without
 introducing locks in hot paths]

b18dc5f291 mm, oom: skip vforked tasks from being selected
vforked tasks are not really sitting on any memory.  They are sharing the
mm with parent until they exec into a new code.  Until then it is just
pinning the address space.  OOM killer will kill the vforked task along
with its parent but we still can end up selecting vforked task when the
parent wouldn't be selected.  E.g.  init doing vfork to launch a task or
vforked being a child of oom unkillable task with an updated oom_score_adj
to be killable.

Add a new helper to check whether a task is in the vfork sharing memory
with its parent and use it in oom_badness to skip over these tasks.

44a70adec9 mm, oom_adj: make sure processes sharing mm have same view of oom_score_adj
oom_score_adj is shared for the thread groups (via struct signal) but this
is not sufficient to cover processes sharing mm (CLONE_VM without
CLONE_SIGHAND) and so we can easily end up in a situation when some
processes update their oom_score_adj and confuse the oom killer.  In the
worst case some of those processes might hide from the oom killer
altogether via OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN while others are eligible.  OOM killer
would then pick up those eligible but won't be allowed to kill others
sharing the same mm so the mm wouldn't release the mm and so the memory.

It would be ideal to have the oom_score_adj per mm_struct because that is
the natural entity OOM killer considers.  But this will not work because
some programs are doing

	vfork()
	set_oom_adj()
	exec()

We can achieve the same though.  oom_score_adj write handler can set the
oom_score_adj for all processes sharing the same mm if the task is not in
the middle of vfork.  As a result all the processes will share the same
oom_score_adj.  The current implementation is rather pessimistic and
checks all the existing processes by default if there is more than 1
holder of the mm but we do not have any reliable way to check for external
users yet.

1d5f0acbc6 proc, oom_adj: extract oom_score_adj setting into a helper
Currently we have two proc interfaces to set oom_score_adj.  The legacy
/proc/<pid>/oom_adj and /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj which both have their
specific handlers.  Big part of the logic is duplicated so extract the
common code into __set_oom_adj helper.  Legacy knob still expects some
details slightly different so make sure those are handled same way - e.g.
the legacy mode ignores oom_score_adj_min and it warns about the usage.

This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

f913da596a proc, oom: drop bogus sighand lock
Oleg has pointed out that can simplify both oom_adj_{read,write} and
oom_score_adj_{read,write} even further and drop the sighand lock.  The
main purpose of the lock was to protect p->signal from going away but this
will not happen since ea6d290ca3 ("signals: make task_struct->signal
immutable/refcountable").

The other role of the lock was to synchronize different writers,
especially those with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE.  Introduce a mutex for this
purpose.  Later patches will need this lock anyway.

d49fbf766d proc, oom: drop bogus task_lock and mm check
Series "Handle oom bypass more gracefully", V5

The following 10 patches should put some order to very rare cases of mm
shared between processes and make the paths which bypass the oom killer
oom reapable and therefore much more reliable finally.  Even though mm
shared outside of thread group is rare (either vforked tasks for a short
period, use_mm by kernel threads or exotic thread model of
clone(CLONE_VM) without CLONE_SIGHAND) it is better to cover them.  Not
only it makes the current oom killer logic quite hard to follow and
reason about it can lead to weird corner cases.  E.g.  it is possible to
select an oom victim which shares the mm with unkillable process or
bypass the oom killer even when other processes sharing the mm are still
alive and other weird cases.

Patch 1 drops bogus task_lock and mm check from oom_{score_}adj_write.
This can be considered a bug fix with a low impact as nobody has noticed
for years.

Patch 2 drops sighand lock because it is not needed anymore as pointed
by Oleg.

Patch 3 is a clean up of oom_score_adj handling and a preparatory work
for later patches.

Patch 4 enforces oom_adj_score to be consistent between processes
sharing the mm to behave consistently with the regular thread groups.
This can be considered a user visible behavior change because one thread
group updating oom_score_adj will affect others which share the same mm
via clone(CLONE_VM).  I argue that this should be acceptable because we
already have the same behavior for threads in the same thread group and
sharing the mm without signal struct is just a different model of
threading.  This is probably the most controversial part of the series,
I would like to find some consensus here.  There were some suggestions
to hook some counter/oom_score_adj into the mm_struct but I feel that
this is not necessary right now and we can rely on proc handler +
oom_kill_process to DTRT.  I can be convinced otherwise but I strongly
think that whatever we do the userspace has to have a way to see the
current oom priority as consistently as possible.

Patch 5 makes sure that no vforked task is selected if it is sharing the
mm with oom unkillable task.

Patch 6 ensures that all user tasks sharing the mm are killed which in
turn makes sure that all oom victims are oom reapable.

Patch 7 guarantees that task_will_free_mem will always imply reapable
bypass of the oom killer.

Patch 8 is new in this version and it addresses an issue pointed out by
0-day OOM report where an oom victim was reaped several times.

Patch 9 puts an upper bound on how many times oom_reaper tries to reap a
task and hides it from the oom killer to move on when no progress can be
made.  This will give an upper bound to how long an oom_reapable task
can block the oom killer from selecting another victim if the oom_reaper
is not able to reap the victim.

Patch 10 tries to plug the (hopefully) last hole when we can still lock
up when the oom victim is shared with oom unkillable tasks (kthreads and
global init).  We just try to be best effort in that case and rather
fallback to kill something else than risk a lockup.

This patch (of 10):

Both oom_adj_write and oom_score_adj_write are using task_lock, check for
task->mm and fail if it is NULL.  This is not needed because the
oom_score_adj is per signal struct so we do not need mm at all.  The code
has been introduced by 3d5992d2ac ("oom: add per-mm oom disable count")
but we do not do per-mm oom disable since c9f01245b6 ("oom: remove
oom_disable_count").

The task->mm check is even not correct because the current thread might
have exited but the thread group might be still alive - e.g.  thread group
leader would lead that echo $VAL > /proc/pid/oom_score_adj would always
fail with EINVAL while /proc/pid/task/$other_tid/oom_score_adj would
succeed.  This is unexpected at best.

Remove the lock along with the check to fix the unexpected behavior and
also because there is not real need for the lock in the first place.

194dc870a5 Add braces to avoid "ambiguous ‘else’" compiler warnings
Some of our "for_each_xyz()" macro constructs make gcc unhappy about
lack of braces around if-statements inside or outside the loop, because
the loop construct itself has a "if-then-else" statement inside of it.

The resulting warnings look something like this:

  drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_debugfs.c: In function ‘i915_dump_lrc’:
  drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_debugfs.c:2103:6: warning: suggest explicit braces to avoid ambiguous ‘else’ [-Wparentheses]
     if (ctx != dev_priv->kernel_context)
        ^

even if the code itself is fine.

Since the warning is fairly easy to avoid by adding a braces around the
if-statement near the for_each_xyz() construct, do so, rather than
disabling the otherwise potentially useful warning.

(The if-then-else statements used in the "for_each_xyz()" constructs are
designed to be inherently safe even with no braces, but in this case
it's quite understandable that gcc isn't really able to tell that).

This finally leaves the standard "allmodconfig" build with just a
handful of remaining warnings, so new and valid warnings hopefully will
stand out.

124a3d88fa Disable "frame-address" warning
Newer versions of gcc warn about the use of __builtin_return_address()
with a non-zero argument when "-Wall" is specified:

  kernel/trace/trace_irqsoff.c: In function ‘stop_critical_timings’:
  kernel/trace/trace_irqsoff.c:433:86: warning: calling ‘__builtin_return_address’ with a nonzero argument is unsafe [-Wframe-address]
     stop_critical_timing(CALLER_ADDR0, CALLER_ADDR1);
  [ .. repeats a few times for other similar cases .. ]

It is true that a non-zero argument is somewhat dangerous, and we do not
actually have very many uses of that in the kernel - but the ftrace code
does use it, and as Stephen Rostedt says:

 "We are well aware of the danger of using __builtin_return_address() of
  > 0.  In fact that's part of the reason for having the "thunk" code in
  x86 (See arch/x86/entry/thunk_{64,32}.S).  [..] it adds extra frames
  when tracking irqs off sections, to prevent __builtin_return_address()
  from accessing bad areas.  In fact the thunk_32.S states: 'Trampoline to
  trace irqs off.  (otherwise CALLER_ADDR1 might crash)'."

For now, __builtin_return_address() with a non-zero argument is the best
we can do, and the warning is not helpful and can end up making people
miss other warnings for real problems.

So disable the frame-address warning on compilers that need it.

Merge tag 'random_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/random

Pull random driver updates from Ted Ts'o:
 "A number of improvements for the /dev/random driver; the most
  important is the use of a ChaCha20-based CRNG for /dev/urandom, which
  is faster, more efficient, and easier to make scalable for
  silly/abusive userspace programs that want to read from /dev/urandom
  in a tight loop on NUMA systems.

  This set of patches also improves entropy gathering on VM's running on
  Microsoft Azure, and will take advantage of a hw random number
  generator (if present) to initialize the /dev/urandom pool"

(It turns out that the random tree hadn't been in linux-next this time
around, because it had been dropped earlier as being too quiet.  Oh
well).

* tag 'random_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/random:
  random: strengthen input validation for RNDADDTOENTCNT
  random: add backtracking protection to the CRNG
  random: make /dev/urandom scalable for silly userspace programs
  random: replace non-blocking pool with a Chacha20-based CRNG
  random: properly align get_random_int_hash
  random: add interrupt callback to VMBus IRQ handler
  random: print a warning for the first ten uninitialized random users
  random: initialize the non-blocking pool via add_hwgenerator_randomness()

Pull media documentation updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
 "This patch series does the conversion of all media documentation stuff
  to Restrutured Text markup format and add them to the
  Documentation/index.rst file.

  The media documentation was grouped into 4 books:

    - media uAPI
    - media kAPI
    - V4L driver-specific documentation
    - DVB driver-specific documentation

  It also contains several documentation improvements and one fixup
  patch for a core issue with cropcap.

  PS.  After this patch series, the media DocBook is deprecated and
  should be removed.  I'll add such patch on a future pull request"

6a492b0f23 SCSI misc on 20160727
This update includes the usual round of driver updates (fcoe, lpfc,
 ufs, qla2xxx, hisi_sas).  The most important other change is removing
 the flag to allow non-blk_mq on a per host basis (it's unused); there
 is still a global module parameter for all of SCSI just in case.  The
 rest are an assortment of minor fixes and typo updates.
