0486a38bcc mm/mempolicy: add nodes_empty check in SYSC_migrate_pages
As in manpage of migrate_pages, the errno should be set to EINVAL when
none of the node IDs specified by new_nodes are on-line and allowed by
the process's current cpuset context, or none of the specified nodes
contain memory.  However, when test by following case:

	new_nodes = 0;
	old_nodes = 0xf;
	ret = migrate_pages(pid, old_nodes, new_nodes, MAX);

The ret will be 0 and no errno is set.  As the new_nodes is empty, we
should expect EINVAL as documented.

To fix the case like above, this patch check whether target nodes AND
current task_nodes is empty, and then check whether AND
node_states[N_MEMORY] is empty.

56521e7a02 mm/mempolicy: fix the check of nodemask from user
As Xiaojun reported the ltp of migrate_pages01 will fail on arm64 system
which has 4 nodes[0...3], all have memory and CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT=2:

  migrate_pages01    0  TINFO  :  test_invalid_nodes
  migrate_pages01   14  TFAIL  :  migrate_pages_common.c:45: unexpected failure - returned value = 0, expected: -1
  migrate_pages01   15  TFAIL  :  migrate_pages_common.c:55: call succeeded unexpectedly

In this case the test_invalid_nodes of migrate_pages01 will call:
SYSC_migrate_pages as:

  migrate_pages(0, , {0x0000000000000001}, 64, , {0x0000000000000010}, 64) = 0

The new nodes specifies one or more node IDs that are greater than the
maximum supported node ID, however, the errno is not set to EINVAL as
expected.

As man pages of set_mempolicy[1], mbind[2], and migrate_pages[3]
mentioned, when nodemask specifies one or more node IDs that are greater
than the maximum supported node ID, the errno should set to EINVAL.
However, get_nodes only check whether the part of bits
[BITS_PER_LONG*BITS_TO_LONGS(MAX_NUMNODES), maxnode) is zero or not, and
remain [MAX_NUMNODES, BITS_PER_LONG*BITS_TO_LONGS(MAX_NUMNODES)
unchecked.

This patch is to check the bits of [MAX_NUMNODES, maxnode) in get_nodes
to let migrate_pages set the errno to EINVAL when nodemask specifies one
or more node IDs that are greater than the maximum supported node ID,
which follows the manpage's guide.

66f308ed7d mm/mempolicy: remove redundant check in get_nodes
We have already checked whether maxnode is a page worth of bits, by:
    maxnode > PAGE_SIZE*BITS_PER_BYTE

4518085e12 mm, sysctl: make NUMA stats configurable
This is the second step which introduces a tunable interface that allow
numa stats configurable for optimizing zone_statistics(), as suggested
by Dave Hansen and Ying Huang.

=========================================================================

When page allocation performance becomes a bottleneck and you can
tolerate some possible tool breakage and decreased numa counter
precision, you can do:

	echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat

In this case, numa counter update is ignored.  We can see about
*4.8%*(185->176) drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and
reclaim on Jesper's page_bench01 (single thread) and *8.1%*(343->315)
drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's
page_bench03 (88 threads) running on a 2-Socket Broadwell-based server
(88 threads, 126G memory).

Benchmark link provided by Jesper D Brouer (increase loop times to
10000000):

  https://github.com/netoptimizer/prototype-kernel/tree/master/kernel/mm/bench

=========================================================================

When page allocation performance is not a bottleneck and you want all
tooling to work, you can do:

	echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat

This is system default setting.

Many thanks to Michal Hocko, Dave Hansen, Ying Huang and Vlastimil Babka
for comments to help improve the original patch.

3136746619 Unify migrate_pages and move_pages access checks
Commit 197e7e5213 ("Sanitize 'move_pages()' permission checks") fixed
a security issue I reported in the move_pages syscall, and made it so
that you can't act on set-uid processes unless you have the
CAP_SYS_PTRACE capability.

Unify the access check logic of migrate_pages to match the new behavior
of move_pages.  We discussed this a bit in the security@ list and
thought it'd be good for consistency even though there's no evident
security impact.  The NUMA node access checks are left intact and
require CAP_SYS_NICE as before.

de55c8b251 mm/mempolicy: fix NUMA_INTERLEAVE_HIT counter
Commit 3a321d2a3d ("mm: change the call sites of numa statistics
items") separated NUMA counters from zone counters, but the
NUMA_INTERLEAVE_HIT call site wasn't updated to use the new interface.
So alloc_page_interleave() actually increments NR_ZONE_INACTIVE_FILE
instead of NUMA_INTERLEAVE_HIT.

Fix this by using __inc_numa_state() interface to increment
NUMA_INTERLEAVE_HIT.

88aaa2a1d7 mm: mempolicy: add queue_pages_required()
Patch series "mm: page migration enhancement for thp", v9.

Motivations:

1. THP migration becomes important in the upcoming heterogeneous memory
   systems. As David Nellans from NVIDIA pointed out from other threads
   (http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1349227.html),
   future GPUs or other accelerators will have their memory managed by
   operating systems. Moving data into and out of these memory nodes
   efficiently is critical to applications that use GPUs or other
   accelerators. Existing page migration only supports base pages, which
   has a very low memory bandwidth utilization. My experiments (see
   below) show THP migration can migrate pages more efficiently.

2. Base page migration vs THP migration throughput.

   Here are cross-socket page migration results from calling
   move_pages() syscall:

   In x86_64, a Intel two-socket E5-2640v3 box,
    - single 4KB base page migration takes 62.47 us, using 0.06 GB/s BW,
    - single 2MB THP migration takes 658.54 us, using 2.97 GB/s BW,
    - 512 4KB base page migration takes 1987.38 us, using 0.98 GB/s BW.

   In ppc64, a two-socket Power8 box,
    - single 64KB base page migration takes 49.3 us, using 1.24 GB/s BW,
    - single 16MB THP migration takes 2202.17 us, using 7.10 GB/s BW,
    - 256 64KB base page migration takes 2543.65 us, using 6.14 GB/s BW.

   THP migration can give us 3x and 1.15x throughput over base page
   migration in x86_64 and ppc64 respectivley.

   You can test it out by using the code here:
      https://github.com/x-y-z/thp-migration-bench

3. Existing page migration splits THP before migration and cannot
   guarantee the migrated pages are still contiguous. Contiguity is
   always what GPUs and accelerators look for. Without THP migration,
   khugepaged needs to do extra work to reassemble the migrated pages
   back to THPs.

This patch (of 10):

Introduce a separate check routine related to MPOL_MF_INVERT flag.  This
patch just does cleanup, no behavioral change.

!shared memory policy is not protected against parallel removal by other

Early premature up_read is a historical artifact from times when
put_user was called in this path see https://lwn.net/Articles/124754/
but that is gone since 8bccd85ffb ("[PATCH] Implement sys_* do_*
layering in the memory policy layer.").  but when we have the the
current mempolicy ref count model.  The issue was introduced
accordingly.

Fix the issue by removing the premature release.

0f55685627 mm, migration: do not trigger OOM killer when migrating memory
Page migration (for memory hotplug, soft_offline_page or mbind) needs to
allocate a new memory.  This can trigger an oom killer if the target
memory is depleated.  Although quite unlikely, still possible,
especially for the memory hotplug (offlining of memoery).

Up to now we didn't really have reasonable means to back off.
__GFP_NORETRY can fail just too easily and __GFP_THISNODE sticks to a
single node and that is not suitable for all callers.

But now that we have __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL we should use it.  It is
preferable to fail the migration than disrupt the system by killing some
processes.

e0dd7d53a6 mm, mempolicy: don't check cpuset seqlock where it doesn't matter
Two wrappers of __alloc_pages_nodemask() are checking
task->mems_allowed_seq themselves to retry allocation that has raced
with a cpuset update.

This has been shown to be ineffective in preventing premature OOM's
which can happen in __alloc_pages_slowpath() long before it returns back
to the wrappers to detect the race at that level.

Previous patches have made __alloc_pages_slowpath() more robust, so we
can now simply remove the seqlock checking in the wrappers to prevent
further wrong impression that it can actually help.

213980c0f2 mm, mempolicy: simplify rebinding mempolicies when updating cpusets
Commit c0ff7453bb ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when
changing cpuset's mems") has introduced a two-step protocol when
rebinding task's mempolicy due to cpuset update, in order to avoid a
parallel allocation seeing an empty effective nodemask and failing.

Later, commit cc9a6c8776 ("cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory
barrier related damage v3") introduced a seqlock protection and removed
the synchronization point between the two update steps.  At that point
(or perhaps later), the two-step rebinding became unnecessary.

Currently it only makes sure that the update first adds new nodes in
step 1 and then removes nodes in step 2.  Without memory barriers the
effects are questionable, and even then this cannot prevent a parallel
zonelist iteration checking the nodemask at each step to observe all
nodes as unusable for allocation.  We now fully rely on the seqlock to
prevent premature OOMs and allocation failures.

We can thus remove the two-step update parts and simplify the code.

04ec6264f2 mm, page_alloc: pass preferred nid instead of zonelist to allocator
The main allocator function __alloc_pages_nodemask() takes a zonelist
pointer as one of its parameters.  All of its callers directly or
indirectly obtain the zonelist via node_zonelist() using a preferred
node id and gfp_mask.  We can make the code a bit simpler by doing the
zonelist lookup in __alloc_pages_nodemask(), passing it a preferred node
id instead (gfp_mask is already another parameter).

There are some code size benefits thanks to removal of inlined
node_zonelist():

  bloat-o-meter add/remove: 2/2 grow/shrink: 4/36 up/down: 399/-1351 (-952)

This will also make things simpler if we proceed with converting cpusets
to zonelists.

45816682b2 mm, mempolicy: stop adjusting current->il_next in mpol_rebind_nodemask()
The task->il_next variable stores the next allocation node id for task's
MPOL_INTERLEAVE policy.  mpol_rebind_nodemask() updates interleave and
bind mempolicies due to changing cpuset mems.  Currently it also tries
to make sure that current->il_next is valid within the updated nodemask.
This is bogus, because 1) we are updating potentially any task's
mempolicy, not just current, and 2) we might be updating a per-vma
mempolicy, not task one.

The interleave_nodes() function that uses il_next can cope fine with the
value not being within the currently allowed nodes, so this hasn't
manifested as an actual issue.

We can remove the need for updating il_next completely by changing it to
il_prev and store the node id of the previous interleave allocation
instead of the next id.  Then interleave_nodes() can calculate the next
id using the current nodemask and also store it as il_prev, except when
querying the next node via do_get_mempolicy().

d51e9894d2 mm/mempolicy.c: do not put mempolicy before using its nodemask
Since commit be97a41b29 ("mm/mempolicy.c: merge alloc_hugepage_vma to
alloc_pages_vma") alloc_pages_vma() can potentially free a mempolicy by
mpol_cond_put() before accessing the embedded nodemask by
__alloc_pages_nodemask().  The commit log says it's so "we can use a
single exit path within the function" but that's clearly wrong.  We can
still do that when doing mpol_cond_put() after the allocation attempt.

Make sure the mempolicy is not freed prematurely, otherwise
__alloc_pages_nodemask() can end up using a bogus nodemask, which could
lead e.g.  to premature OOM.

8d303e44e9 mm/mempolicy.c: forbid static or relative flags for local NUMA mode
The MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES and MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES flags are irrelevant
when setting them for MPOL_LOCAL NUMA memory policy via set_mempolicy or
mbind.

Return the "invalid argument" from set_mempolicy and mbind whenever any
of these flags is passed along with MPOL_LOCAL.

It is consistent with MPOL_PREFERRED passed with empty nodemask.

It slightly shortens the execution time in paths where these flags are
used e.g.  when trying to rebind the NUMA nodes for changes in cgroups
cpuset mems (mpol_rebind_preferred()) or when just printing the mempolicy
structure (/proc/PID/numa_maps).  Isolated tests done.

6d8409580b mm, mempolicy: clean up __GFP_THISNODE confusion in policy_zonelist
__GFP_THISNODE is documented to enforce the allocation to be satisified
from the requested node with no fallbacks or placement policy
enforcements.  policy_zonelist seemingly breaks this semantic if the
current policy is MPOL_MBIND and instead of taking the node it will
fallback to the first node in the mask if the requested one is not in
the mask.  This is confusing to say the least because it fact we
shouldn't ever go that path.  First tasks shouldn't be scheduled on CPUs
with nodes outside of their mempolicy binding.  And secondly
policy_zonelist is called only from 3 places:

 - huge_zonelist - never should do __GFP_THISNODE when going this path

 - alloc_pages_vma - which shouldn't depend on __GFP_THISNODE either

 - alloc_pages_current - which uses default_policy id __GFP_THISNODE is
   used

So we shouldn't even need to care about this possibility and can drop
the confusing code.  Let's keep a WARN_ON_ONCE in place to catch
potential users and fix them up properly (aka use a different allocation
function which ignores mempolicy).

fd60775aea mm, thp: avoid unlikely branches for split_huge_pmd
While doing MADV_DONTNEED on a large area of thp memory, I noticed we
encountered many unlikely() branches in profiles for each backing
hugepage.  This is because zap_pmd_range() would call split_huge_pmd(),
which rechecked the conditions that were already validated, but as part
of an unlikely() branch.

Avoid the unlikely() branch when in a context where pmd is known to be
good for __split_huge_pmd() directly.

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.

800d8c63b2 shmem: add huge pages support
Here's basic implementation of huge pages support for shmem/tmpfs.

It's all pretty streight-forward:

  - shmem_getpage() allcoates huge page if it can and try to inserd into
    radix tree with shmem_add_to_page_cache();

  - shmem_add_to_page_cache() puts the page onto radix-tree if there's
    space for it;

  - shmem_undo_range() removes huge pages, if it fully within range.
    Partial truncate of huge pages zero out this part of THP.

    This have visible effect on fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE)
    behaviour. As we don't really create hole in this case,
    lseek(SEEK_HOLE) may have inconsistent results depending what
    pages happened to be allocated.

  - no need to change shmem_fault: core-mm will map an compound page as
    huge if VMA is suitable;

643ad15d47 Merge branch 'mm-pkeys-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature
  that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys).

  There's a background article at LWN.net:

      https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/

  The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of
  user-controllable permission masks in the pte.  So instead of having a
  fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change
  and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of)
  protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively
  cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected
  virtual memory range.

  This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large
  amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions.  It also
  allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the
  executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that
  below).

  This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for
  that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys -
  if a user-space application calls:

        mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);

  or

        mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);

  (note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice
  this special case, and will set a special protection key on this
  memory range.  It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection
  Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable
  and unwritable.

  So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true'
  PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies
  PROT_READ as well.  Unreadable executable mappings have security
  advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out
  ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they
  cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either.

  We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC
  mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new
  feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion.

  There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system
  call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this
  pull request.

  Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature
  (CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled
  (like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime
  overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment.  If there's
  any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or
  flip the default"

0a2e280b6d mm, thp: fix migration of PTE-mapped transparent huge pages
We don't have native support of THP migration, so we have to split huge
page into small pages in order to migrate it to different node.  This
includes PTE-mapped huge pages.

I made mistake in refcounting patchset: we don't actually split
PTE-mapped huge page in queue_pages_pte_range(), if we step on head
page.

The result is that the head page is queued for migration, but none of
tail pages: putting head page on queue takes pin on the page and any
subsequent attempts of split_huge_pages() would fail and we skip queuing
tail pages.

unmap_and_move_huge_page() will eventually split the huge pages, but
only one of 512 pages would get migrated.

Let's fix the situation.

d4edcf0d56 mm/gup: Switch all callers of get_user_pages() to not pass tsk/mm
We will soon modify the vanilla get_user_pages() so it can no
longer be used on mm/tasks other than 'current/current->mm',
which is by far the most common way it is called.  For now,
we allow the old-style calls, but warn when they are used.
(implemented in previous patch)

This patch switches all callers of:

	get_user_pages()
	get_user_pages_unlocked()
	get_user_pages_locked()

to stop passing tsk/mm so they will no longer see the warnings.

77bf45e780 mempolicy: do not try to queue pages from !vma_migratable()
Maybe I miss some point, but I don't see a reason why we try to queue
pages from non migratable VMAs.

This testcase steps on VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() in isolate_lru_page():

    #include <fcntl.h>
    #include <unistd.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <sys/mman.h>
    #include <numaif.h>

    #define SIZE 0x2000

    int foo;

    int main()
    {
        int fd;
        char *p;
        unsigned long mask = 2;

        fd = open("/dev/sg0", O_RDWR);
        p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);
        /* Faultin pages */
        foo = p[0] + p[0x1000];
        mbind(p, SIZE, MPOL_BIND, &mask, 4, MPOL_MF_MOVE | MPOL_MF_STRICT);
        return 0;
    }

The only case when we can queue pages from such VMA is MPOL_MF_STRICT
plus MPOL_MF_MOVE or MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL for VMA which has pages on LRU,
but gfp mask is not sutable for migaration (see mapping_gfp_mask() check
in vma_migratable()).  That's looks like a bug to me.

Let's filter out non-migratable vma at start of queue_pages_test_walk()
and go to queue_pages_pte_range() only if MPOL_MF_MOVE or
MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL flag is set.

4a8c7bb59a mm/mempolicy.c: convert the shared_policy lock to a rwlock
When running the SPECint_rate gcc on some very large boxes it was
noticed that the system was spending lots of time in
mpol_shared_policy_lookup().  The gamess benchmark can also show it and
is what I mostly used to chase down the issue since the setup for that I
found to be easier.

To be clear the binaries were on tmpfs because of disk I/O requirements.
We then used text replication to avoid icache misses and having all the
copies banging on the memory where the instruction code resides.  This
results in us hitting a bottleneck in mpol_shared_policy_lookup() since
lookup is serialised by the shared_policy lock.

I have only reproduced this on very large (3k+ cores) boxes.  The
problem starts showing up at just a few hundred ranks getting worse
until it threatens to livelock once it gets large enough.  For example
on the gamess benchmark at 128 ranks this area consumes only ~1% of
time, at 512 ranks it consumes nearly 13%, and at 2k ranks it is over
90%.

To alleviate the contention in this area I converted the spinlock to an
rwlock.  This allows a large number of lookups to happen simultaneously.
The results were quite good reducing this consumtion at max ranks to
around 2%.

96db800f5d mm: rename alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node()
alloc_pages_exact_node() was introduced in commit 6484eb3e2a ("page
allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is
valid") as an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node(), that doesn't
fallback to current node for nid == NUMA_NO_NODE.  Unfortunately the
name of the function can easily suggest that the allocation is
restricted to the given node and fails otherwise.  In truth, the node is
only preferred, unless __GFP_THISNODE is passed among the gfp flags.

The misleading name has lead to mistakes in the past, see for example
commits 5265047ac3 ("mm, thp: really limit transparent hugepage
allocation to local node") and b360edb43f ("mm, mempolicy:
migrate_to_node should only migrate to node").

Another issue with the name is that there's a family of
alloc_pages_exact*() functions where 'exact' means exact size (instead
of page order), which leads to more confusion.

To prevent further mistakes, this patch effectively renames
alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node() to better convey that
it's an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node() not intended for general
usage.  Both functions get described in comments.

It has been also considered to really provide a convenience function for
allocations restricted to a node, but the major opinion seems to be that
__GFP_THISNODE already provides that functionality and we shouldn't
duplicate the API needlessly.  The number of users would be small
anyway.

Existing callers of alloc_pages_exact_node() are simply converted to
call __alloc_pages_node(), with the exception of sba_alloc_coherent()
which open-codes the check for NUMA_NO_NODE, so it is converted to use
alloc_pages_node() instead.  This means it no longer performs some
VM_BUG_ON checks, and since the current check for nid in
alloc_pages_node() uses a 'nid < 0' comparison (which includes
NUMA_NO_NODE), it may hide wrong values which would be previously
exposed.

Both differences will be rectified by the next patch.

To sum up, this patch makes no functional changes, except temporarily
hiding potentially buggy callers.  Restricting the checks in
alloc_pages_node() is left for the next patch which can in turn expose
more existing buggy callers.

must be aware about so that we can merge vmas back like they were
originally before arming the userfaultfd on some memory range.

0867a57c4f mm, thp: respect MPOL_PREFERRED policy with non-local node
Since commit 077fcf116c ("mm/thp: allocate transparent hugepages on
local node"), we handle THP allocations on page fault in a special way -
for non-interleave memory policies, the allocation is only attempted on
the node local to the current CPU, if the policy's nodemask allows the
node.

This is motivated by the assumption that THP benefits cannot offset the
cost of remote accesses, so it's better to fallback to base pages on the
local node (which might still be available, while huge pages are not due
to fragmentation) than to allocate huge pages on a remote node.

The nodemask check prevents us from violating e.g.  MPOL_BIND policies
where the local node is not among the allowed nodes.  However, the
current implementation can still give surprising results for the
MPOL_PREFERRED policy when the preferred node is different than the
current CPU's local node.

In such case we should honor the preferred node and not use the local
node, which is what this patch does.  If hugepage allocation on the
preferred node fails, we fall back to base pages and don't try other
nodes, with the same motivation as is done for the local node hugepage
allocations.  The patch also moves the MPOL_INTERLEAVE check around to
simplify the hugepage specific test.

The difference can be demonstrated using in-tree transhuge-stress test
on the following 2-node machine where half memory on one node was
occupied to show the difference.

> numactl --hardware
available: 2 nodes (0-1)
node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35
node 0 size: 7878 MB
node 0 free: 3623 MB
node 1 cpus: 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47
node 1 size: 8045 MB
node 1 free: 7818 MB
node distances:
node   0   1
  0:  10  21
  1:  21  10

Before the patch:
> numactl -p0 -C0 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 2.197 s/loop, 0.276 ms/page,   7249.168 MiB/s 7962 succeed,    0 failed, 1786 different pages

> numactl -p0 -C12 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 2.962 s/loop, 0.372 ms/page,   5376.172 MiB/s 7962 succeed,    0 failed, 3873 different pages

Number of successful THP allocations corresponds to free memory on node 0 in
the first case and node 1 in the second case, i.e. -p parameter is ignored and
cpu binding "wins".

After the patch:
> numactl -p0 -C0 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 2.183 s/loop, 0.274 ms/page,   7295.516 MiB/s 7962 succeed,    0 failed, 1760 different pages

> numactl -p0 -C12 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 2.878 s/loop, 0.361 ms/page,   5533.638 MiB/s 7962 succeed,    0 failed, 1750 different pages

> numactl -p1 -C0 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 4.628 s/loop, 0.581 ms/page,   3440.893 MiB/s 7962 succeed,    0 failed, 3918 different pages

The -p parameter is respected regardless of cpu binding.

> numactl -C0 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 2.202 s/loop, 0.277 ms/page,   7230.003 MiB/s 7962 succeed,    0 failed, 1750 different pages

> numactl -C12 ./transhuge-stress
transhuge-stress: 3.020 s/loop, 0.379 ms/page,   5273.324 MiB/s 7962 succeed,    0 failed, 3916 different pages

Without -p parameter, hugepage restriction to CPU-local node works as before.

b0dc2b9bb4 mm, numa: really disable NUMA balancing by default on single node machines
NUMA balancing is meant to be disabled by default on UMA machines but
the check is using nr_node_ids (highest node) instead of
num_online_nodes (online nodes).

The consequences are that a UMA machine with a node ID of 1 or higher
will enable NUMA balancing.  This will incur useless overhead due to
minor faults with the impact depending on the workload.  These are the
impact on the stats when running a kernel build on a single node machine
whose node ID happened to be 1:

  			       vanilla     patched
  NUMA base PTE updates          5113158           0
  NUMA huge PMD updates              643           0
  NUMA page range updates        5442374           0
  NUMA hint faults               2109622           0
  NUMA hint local faults         2109622           0
  NUMA hint local percent            100         100
  NUMA pages migrated                  0           0

5265047ac3 mm, thp: really limit transparent hugepage allocation to local node
Commit 077fcf116c ("mm/thp: allocate transparent hugepages on local
node") restructured alloc_hugepage_vma() with the intent of only
allocating transparent hugepages locally when there was not an effective
interleave mempolicy.

alloc_pages_exact_node() does not limit the allocation to the single node,
however, but rather prefers it.  This is because __GFP_THISNODE is not set
which would cause the node-local nodemask to be passed.  Without it, only
a nodemask that prefers the local node is passed.

Fix this by passing __GFP_THISNODE and falling back to small pages when
the allocation fails.

Commit 9f1b868a13 ("mm: thp: khugepaged: add policy for finding target
node") suffers from a similar problem for khugepaged, which is also fixed.
