Pull core block IO bits from Jens Axboe:
"The most complicated part if this is the request allocation rework by
Tejun, which has been queued up for a long time and has been in
for-next ditto as well.
There are a few commits from yesterday and today, mostly trivial and
obvious fixes. So I'm pretty confident that it is sound. It's also
smaller than usual."

Add a new operation code (BLKPG_RESIZE_PARTITION) to the BLKPG ioctl that
allows altering the size of an existing partition, even if it is currently
in use.
This patch converts hd_struct->nr_sects into sequence counter because
One might extend a partition while IO is happening to it and update of
nr_sects can be non-atomic on 32bit machines with 64bit sector_t. This
can lead to issues like reading inconsistent size of a partition. Sequence
counter have been used so that readers don't have to take bdev mutex lock
as we call sector_in_part() very frequently.
Now all the access to hd_struct->nr_sects should happen using sequence
counter read/update helper functions part_nr_sects_read/part_nr_sects_write.
There is one exception though, set_capacity()/get_capacity(). I think
theoritically race should exist there too but this patch does not
modify set_capacity()/get_capacity() due to sheer number of call sites
and I am afraid that change might break something. I have left that as a
TODO item. We can handle it later if need be. This patch does not introduce
any new races as such w.r.t set_capacity()/get_capacity().

Round of refactoring and enhancements to irq_domain infrastructure. This
series starts the process of simplifying irqdomain. The ultimate goal is
to merge LEGACY, LINEAR and TREE mappings into a single system, but had
to back off from that after some last minute bugs. Instead it mainly
reorganizes the code and ensures that the reverse map gets populated
when the irq is mapped instead of the first time it is looked up.
Merging of the irq_domain types is deferred to v3.7
In other news, this series adds helpers for creating static mappings on
a linear or tree mapping.

Merge tag 'vfio-for-v3.6' of git://github.com/awilliam/linux-vfio
Pull VFIO core from Alex Williamson:
"This series includes the VFIO userspace driver interface for the 3.6
kernel merge window. This driver is intended to provide a secure
interface for device access using IOMMU protection for applications
like assignment of physical devices to virtual machines.
Qemu will be the first user of this interface, enabling assignment of
PCI devices to Qemu guests. This interface is intended to eventually
replace the x86-specific assignment mechanism currently available in
KVM.
This interface has the advantage of being more secure, by working with
IOMMU groups to ensure device isolation and providing it's own
filtered resource access mechanism, and also more flexible, in not
being x86 or KVM specific (extensions to enable POWER are already
working).
This driver is originally the work of Tom Lyon, but has since been
handed over to me and gone through a complete overhaul thanks to the
input from David Gibson, Ben Herrenschmidt, Chris Wright, Joerg
Roedel, and others. This driver has been available in linux-next for
the last month."
Paul Mackerras says:
"I would be glad to see it go in since we want to use it with KVM on
PowerPC. If possible we'd like the PowerPC bits for it to go in as
well."

If a process creates a large hugetlbfs mapping that is eligible for page
table sharing and forks heavily with children some of whom fault and
others which destroy the mapping then it is possible for page tables to
get corrupted. Some teardowns of the mapping encounter a "bad pmd" and
output a message to the kernel log. The final teardown will trigger a
BUG_ON in mm/filemap.c.
This was reproduced in 3.4 but is known to have existed for a long time
and goes back at least as far as 2.6.37. It was probably was introduced
in 2.6.20 by [39dde65c: shared page table for hugetlb page]. The messages

The bug is a race and not always easy to reproduce. To reproduce it I was
doing the following on a single socket I7-based machine with 16G of RAM.
$ hugeadm --pool-pages-max DEFAULT:13G
$ echo $((18*1048576*1024)) > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
$ echo $((18*1048576*1024)) > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
$ for i in `seq 1 9000`; do ./hugetlbfs-test; done
On my particular machine, it usually triggers within 10 minutes but
enabling debug options can change the timing such that it never hits.
Once the bug is triggered, the machine is in trouble and needs to be
rebooted. The machine will respond but processes accessing proc like "ps
aux" will hang due to the BUG_ON. shutdown will also hang and needs a
hard reset or a sysrq-b.
The basic problem is a race between page table sharing and teardown. For
the most part page table sharing depends on i_mmap_mutex. In some cases,
it is also taking the mm->page_table_lock for the PTE updates but with
shared page tables, it is the i_mmap_mutex that is more important.
Unfortunately it appears to be also insufficient. Consider the following
situation
Process A Process B
--------- ---------
hugetlb_fault shmdt
LockWrite(mmap_sem)
do_munmap
unmap_region
unmap_vmas
unmap_single_vma
unmap_hugepage_range
Lock(i_mmap_mutex)
Lock(mm->page_table_lock)
huge_pmd_unshare/unmap tables <--- (1)
Unlock(mm->page_table_lock)
Unlock(i_mmap_mutex)
huge_pte_alloc ...
Lock(i_mmap_mutex) ...
vma_prio_walk, find svma, spte ...
Lock(mm->page_table_lock) ...
share spte ...
Unlock(mm->page_table_lock) ...
Unlock(i_mmap_mutex) ...
hugetlb_no_page <--- (2)
free_pgtables
unlink_file_vma
hugetlb_free_pgd_range
remove_vma_list
In this scenario, it is possible for Process A to share page tables with
Process B that is trying to tear them down. The i_mmap_mutex on its own
does not prevent Process A walking Process B's page tables. At (1) above,
the page tables are not shared yet so it unmaps the PMDs. Process A sets
up page table sharing and at (2) faults a new entry. Process B then trips
up on it in free_pgtables.
This patch fixes the problem by adding a new function
__unmap_hugepage_range_final that is only called when the VMA is about to
be destroyed. This function clears VM_MAYSHARE during
unmap_hugepage_range() under the i_mmap_mutex. This makes the VMA
ineligible for sharing and avoids the race. Superficially this looks like
it would then be vunerable to truncate and madvise issues but hugetlbfs
has its own truncate handlers so does not use unmap_mapping_range() and
does not support madvise(DONTNEED).
This should be treated as a -stable candidate if it is merged.
Test program is as follows. The test case was mostly written by Michal
Hocko with a few minor changes to reproduce this bug.

Compaction (and page migration in general) can currently be hindered
through pages being owned by memory cgroups that are at their limits and
unreclaimable.
The reason is that the replacement page is being charged against the limit
while the page being replaced is also still charged. But this seems
unnecessary, given that only one of the two pages will still be in use
after migration finishes.
This patch changes the memcg migration sequence so that the replacement
page is not charged. Whatever page is still in use after successful or
failed migration gets to keep the charge of the page that was going to be
replaced.
The replacement page will still show up temporarily in the rss/cache
statistics, this can be fixed in a later patch as it's less urgent.

PF_MEMALLOC should allow the allocation of struct socket and related
objects and the early (re)setting of SOCK_MEMALLOC should allow us to
receive the packets required for the TCP connection buildup.

The patch "mm: add support for a filesystem to activate swap files and use
direct_IO for writing swap pages" added support for using direct_IO to
write swap pages but it is insufficient for highmem pages.
To support highmem pages, this patch kmaps() the page before calling the
direct_IO() handler. As direct_IO deals with virtual addresses an
additional helper is necessary for get_kernel_pages() to lookup the struct
page for a kmap virtual address.

Currently swapfiles are managed entirely by the core VM by using ->bmap to
allocate space and write to the blocks directly. This effectively ensures
that the underlying blocks are allocated and avoids the need for the swap
subsystem to locate what physical blocks store offsets within a file.
If the swap subsystem is to use the filesystem information to locate the
blocks, it is critical that information such as block groups, block
bitmaps and the block descriptor table that map the swap file were
resident in memory. This patch adds address_space_operations that the VM
can call when activating or deactivating swap backed by a file.
int swap_activate(struct file *);
int swap_deactivate(struct file *);
The ->swap_activate() method is used to communicate to the file that the
VM relies on it, and the address_space should take adequate measures such
as reserving space in the underlying device, reserving memory for mempools
and pinning information such as the block descriptor table in memory. The
->swap_deactivate() method is called on sys_swapoff() if ->swap_activate()
returned success.
After a successful swapfile ->swap_activate, the swapfile is marked
SWP_FILE and swapper_space.a_ops will proxy to
sis->swap_file->f_mappings->a_ops using ->direct_io to write swapcache
pages and ->readpage to read.
It is perfectly possible that direct_IO be used to read the swap pages but
it is an unnecessary complication. Similarly, it is possible that
->writepage be used instead of direct_io to write the pages but filesystem
developers have stated that calling writepage from the VM is undesirable
for a variety of reasons and using direct_IO opens up the possibility of
writing back batches of swap pages in the future.

This patch adds two new APIs get_kernel_pages() and get_kernel_page() that
may be used to pin a vector of kernel addresses for IO. The initial user
is expected to be NFS for allowing pages to be written to swap using
aops->direct_IO(). Strictly speaking, swap-over-NFS only needs to pin one
page for IO but it makes sense to express the API in terms of a vector and
add a helper for pinning single pages.

In order to teach filesystems to handle swap cache pages, three new page
functions are introduced:
pgoff_t page_file_index(struct page *);
loff_t page_file_offset(struct page *);
struct address_space *page_file_mapping(struct page *);
page_file_index() - gives the offset of this page in the file in
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE blocks. Like page->index is for mapped pages, this
function also gives the correct index for PG_swapcache pages.
page_file_offset() - uses page_file_index(), so that it will give the
expected result, even for PG_swapcache pages.
page_file_mapping() - gives the mapping backing the actual page; that is
for swap cache pages it will give swap_file->f_mapping.

This patch series is based on top of "Swap-over-NBD without deadlocking
v15" as it depends on the same reservation of PF_MEMALLOC reserves logic.
When a user or administrator requires swap for their application, they
create a swap partition and file, format it with mkswap and activate it
with swapon. In diskless systems this is not an option so if swap if
required then swapping over the network is considered. The two likely
scenarios are when blade servers are used as part of a cluster where the
form factor or maintenance costs do not allow the use of disks and thin
clients.
The Linux Terminal Server Project recommends the use of the Network Block
Device (NBD) for swap but this is not always an option. There is no
guarantee that the network attached storage (NAS) device is running Linux
or supports NBD. However, it is likely that it supports NFS so there are
users that want support for swapping over NFS despite any performance
concern. Some distributions currently carry patches that support swapping
over NFS but it would be preferable to support it in the mainline kernel.
Patch 1 avoids a stream-specific deadlock that potentially affects TCP.
Patch 2 is a small modification to SELinux to avoid using PFMEMALLOC
reserves.
Patch 3 adds three helpers for filesystems to handle swap cache pages.
For example, page_file_mapping() returns page->mapping for
file-backed pages and the address_space of the underlying
swap file for swap cache pages.
Patch 4 adds two address_space_operations to allow a filesystem
to pin all metadata relevant to a swapfile in memory. Upon
successful activation, the swapfile is marked SWP_FILE and
the address space operation ->direct_IO is used for writing
and ->readpage for reading in swap pages.
Patch 5 notes that patch 3 is bolting
filesystem-specific-swapfile-support onto the side and that
the default handlers have different information to what
is available to the filesystem. This patch refactors the
code so that there are generic handlers for each of the new
address_space operations.
Patch 6 adds an API to allow a vector of kernel addresses to be
translated to struct pages and pinned for IO.
Patch 7 adds support for using highmem pages for swap by kmapping
the pages before calling the direct_IO handler.
Patch 8 updates NFS to use the helpers from patch 3 where necessary.
Patch 9 avoids setting PF_private on PG_swapcache pages within NFS.
Patch 10 implements the new swapfile-related address_space operations
for NFS and teaches the direct IO handler how to manage
kernel addresses.
Patch 11 prevents page allocator recursions in NFS by using GFP_NOIO
where appropriate.
Patch 12 fixes a NULL pointer dereference that occurs when using
swap-over-NFS.
With the patches applied, it is possible to mount a swapfile that is on an
NFS filesystem. Swap performance is not great with a swap stress test
taking roughly twice as long to complete than if the swap device was
backed by NBD.
This patch: netvm: prevent a stream-specific deadlock
It could happen that all !SOCK_MEMALLOC sockets have buffered so much data
that we're over the global rmem limit. This will prevent SOCK_MEMALLOC
buffers from receiving data, which will prevent userspace from running,
which is needed to reduce the buffered data.
Fix this by exempting the SOCK_MEMALLOC sockets from the rmem limit. Once
this change it applied, it is important that sockets that set
SOCK_MEMALLOC do not clear the flag until the socket is being torn down.
If this happens, a warning is generated and the tokens reclaimed to avoid
accounting errors until the bug is fixed.

This patch counts how many times such stalling occurs. It's up to the

If swap is backed by network storage such as NBD, there is a risk that a
large number of reclaimers can hang the system by consuming all
PF_MEMALLOC reserves. To avoid these hangs, the administrator must tune
min_free_kbytes in advance which is a bit fragile.
This patch throttles direct reclaimers if half the PF_MEMALLOC reserves
are in use. If the system is routinely getting throttled the system
administrator can increase min_free_kbytes so degradation is smoother but
the system will keep running.

In order to make sure pfmemalloc packets receive all memory needed to
proceed, ensure processing of pfmemalloc SKBs happens under PF_MEMALLOC.
This is limited to a subset of protocols that are expected to be used for
writing to swap. Taps are not allowed to use PF_MEMALLOC as these are
expected to communicate with userspace processes which could be paged out.

The skb->pfmemalloc flag gets set to true iff during the slab allocation
of data in __alloc_skb that the the PFMEMALLOC reserves were used. If
page splitting is used, it is possible that pages will be allocated from
the PFMEMALLOC reserve without propagating this information to the skb.
This patch propagates page->pfmemalloc from pages allocated for fragments
to the skb.
It works by reintroducing and expanding the skb_alloc_page() API to take
an skb. If the page was allocated from pfmemalloc reserves, it is
automatically copied. If the driver allocates the page before the skb, it
should call skb_propagate_pfmemalloc() after the skb is allocated to
ensure the flag is copied properly.
Failure to do so is not critical. The resulting driver may perform slower
if it is used for swap-over-NBD or swap-over-NFS but it should not result
in failure.

Change the skb allocation API to indicate RX usage and use this to fall
back to the PFMEMALLOC reserve when needed. SKBs allocated from the
reserve are tagged in skb->pfmemalloc. If an SKB is allocated from the
reserve and the socket is later found to be unrelated to page reclaim, the
packet is dropped so that the memory remains available for page reclaim.
Network protocols are expected to recover from this packet loss.

Allow specific sockets to be tagged SOCK_MEMALLOC and use __GFP_MEMALLOC
for their allocations. These sockets will be able to go below watermarks
and allocate from the emergency reserve. Such sockets are to be used to
service the VM (iow. to swap over). They must be handled kernel side,
exposing such a socket to user-space is a bug.
There is a risk that the reserves be depleted so for now, the
administrator is responsible for increasing min_free_kbytes as necessary
to prevent deadlock for their workloads.

This is needed to allow network softirq packet processing to make use of
PF_MEMALLOC.
Currently softirq context cannot use PF_MEMALLOC due to it not being
associated with a task, and therefore not having task flags to fiddle with
- thus the gfp to alloc flag mapping ignores the task flags when in
interrupts (hard or soft) context.
Allowing softirqs to make use of PF_MEMALLOC therefore requires some
trickery. This patch borrows the task flags from whatever process happens
to be preempted by the softirq. It then modifies the gfp to alloc flags
mapping to not exclude task flags in softirq context, and modify the
softirq code to save, clear and restore the PF_MEMALLOC flag.
The save and clear, ensures the preempted task's PF_MEMALLOC flag doesn't
leak into the softirq. The restore ensures a softirq's PF_MEMALLOC flag
cannot leak back into the preempted process. This should be safe due to
the following reasons
Softirqs can run on multiple CPUs sure but the same task should not be
executing the same softirq code. Neither should the softirq
handler be preempted by any other softirq handler so the flags
should not leak to an unrelated softirq.
Softirqs re-enable hardware interrupts in __do_softirq() so can be
preempted by hardware interrupts so PF_MEMALLOC is inherited
by the hard IRQ. However, this is similar to a process in
reclaim being preempted by a hardirq. While PF_MEMALLOC is
set, gfp_to_alloc_flags() distinguishes between hard and
soft irqs and avoids giving a hardirq the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS
flag.
If the softirq is deferred to ksoftirq then its flags may be used
instead of a normal tasks but as the softirq cannot be preempted,
the PF_MEMALLOC flag does not leak to other code by accident.

__GFP_MEMALLOC will allow the allocation to disregard the watermarks, much
like PF_MEMALLOC. It allows one to pass along the memalloc state in
object related allocation flags as opposed to task related flags, such as
sk->sk_allocation. This removes the need for ALLOC_PFMEMALLOC as callers
using __GFP_MEMALLOC can get the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK flag which is now
enough to identify allocations related to page reclaim.

When a user or administrator requires swap for their application, they
create a swap partition and file, format it with mkswap and activate it
with swapon. Swap over the network is considered as an option in diskless
systems. The two likely scenarios are when blade servers are used as part
of a cluster where the form factor or maintenance costs do not allow the
use of disks and thin clients.
The Linux Terminal Server Project recommends the use of the Network Block
Device (NBD) for swap according to the manual at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ltsp/files/Docs-Admin-Guide/LTSPManual.pdf/download
There is also documentation and tutorials on how to setup swap over NBD at
places like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/EnableNBDSWAP The
nbd-client also documents the use of NBD as swap. Despite this, the fact
is that a machine using NBD for swap can deadlock within minutes if swap
is used intensively. This patch series addresses the problem.
The core issue is that network block devices do not use mempools like
normal block devices do. As the host cannot control where they receive
packets from, they cannot reliably work out in advance how much memory
they might need. Some years ago, Peter Zijlstra developed a series of
patches that supported swap over an NFS that at least one distribution is
carrying within their kernels. This patch series borrows very heavily
from Peter's work to support swapping over NBD as a pre-requisite to
supporting swap-over-NFS. The bulk of the complexity is concerned with
preserving memory that is allocated from the PFMEMALLOC reserves for use
by the network layer which is needed for both NBD and NFS.
Patch 1 adds knowledge of the PFMEMALLOC reserves to SLAB and SLUB to
preserve access to pages allocated under low memory situations
to callers that are freeing memory.
Patch 2 optimises the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc checks
Patch 3 introduces __GFP_MEMALLOC to allow access to the PFMEMALLOC
reserves without setting PFMEMALLOC.
Patch 4 opens the possibility for softirqs to use PFMEMALLOC reserves
for later use by network packet processing.
Patch 5 only sets page->pfmemalloc when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS was required
Patch 6 ignores memory policies when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS is set.
Patches 7-12 allows network processing to use PFMEMALLOC reserves when
the socket has been marked as being used by the VM to clean pages. If
packets are received and stored in pages that were allocated under
low-memory situations and are unrelated to the VM, the packets
are dropped.
Patch 11 reintroduces __skb_alloc_page which the networking
folk may object to but is needed in some cases to propogate
pfmemalloc from a newly allocated page to an skb. If there is a
strong objection, this patch can be dropped with the impact being
that swap-over-network will be slower in some cases but it should
not fail.
Patch 13 is a micro-optimisation to avoid a function call in the
common case.
Patch 14 tags NBD sockets as being SOCK_MEMALLOC so they can use
PFMEMALLOC if necessary.
Patch 15 notes that it is still possible for the PFMEMALLOC reserve
to be depleted. To prevent this, direct reclaimers get throttled on
a waitqueue if 50% of the PFMEMALLOC reserves are depleted. It is
expected that kswapd and the direct reclaimers already running
will clean enough pages for the low watermark to be reached and
the throttled processes are woken up.
Patch 16 adds a statistic to track how often processes get throttled
Some basic performance testing was run using kernel builds, netperf on
loopback for UDP and TCP, hackbench (pipes and sockets), iozone and
sysbench. Each of them were expected to use the sl*b allocators
reasonably heavily but there did not appear to be significant performance
variances.
For testing swap-over-NBD, a machine was booted with 2G of RAM with a
swapfile backed by NBD. 8*NUM_CPU processes were started that create
anonymous memory mappings and read them linearly in a loop. The total
size of the mappings were 4*PHYSICAL_MEMORY to use swap heavily under
memory pressure.
Without the patches and using SLUB, the machine locks up within minutes
and runs to completion with them applied. With SLAB, the story is
different as an unpatched kernel run to completion. However, the patched
kernel completed the test 45% faster.

This patch: mm: sl[au]b: add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages
Allocations of pages below the min watermark run a risk of the machine
hanging due to a lack of memory. To prevent this, only callers who have
PF_MEMALLOC or TIF_MEMDIE set and are not processing an interrupt are
allowed to allocate with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS. Once they are allocated to
a slab though, nothing prevents other callers consuming free objects
within those slabs. This patch limits access to slab pages that were
alloced from the PFMEMALLOC reserves.
When this patch is applied, pages allocated from below the low watermark
are returned with page->pfmemalloc set and it is up to the caller to
determine how the page should be protected. SLAB restricts access to any
page with page->pfmemalloc set to callers which are known to able to
access the PFMEMALLOC reserve. If one is not available, an attempt is
made to allocate a new page rather than use a reserve. SLUB is a bit more
relaxed in that it only records if the current per-CPU page was allocated
from PFMEMALLOC reserve and uses another partial slab if the caller does
not have the necessary GFP or process flags. This was found to be
sufficient in tests to avoid hangs due to SLUB generally maintaining
smaller lists than SLAB.
In low-memory conditions it does mean that !PFMEMALLOC allocators can fail
a slab allocation even though free objects are available because they are
being preserved for callers that are freeing pages.

When hotplug offlining happens on zone A, it starts to mark freed page as
MIGRATE_ISOLATE type in buddy for preventing further allocation.
(MIGRATE_ISOLATE is very irony type because it's apparently on buddy but
we can't allocate them).
When the memory shortage happens during hotplug offlining, current task
starts to reclaim, then wake up kswapd. Kswapd checks watermark, then go
sleep because current zone_watermark_ok_safe doesn't consider
MIGRATE_ISOLATE freed page count. Current task continue to reclaim in
direct reclaim path without kswapd's helping. The problem is that
zone->all_unreclaimable is set by only kswapd so that current task would
be looping forever like below.
__alloc_pages_slowpath
restart:
wake_all_kswapd
rebalance:
__alloc_pages_direct_reclaim
do_try_to_free_pages
if global_reclaim && !all_unreclaimable
return 1; /* It means we did did_some_progress */
skip __alloc_pages_may_oom
should_alloc_retry
goto rebalance;
If we apply KOSAKI's patch[1] which doesn't depends on kswapd about
setting zone->all_unreclaimable, we can solve this problem by killing some
task in direct reclaim path. But it doesn't wake up kswapd, still. It
could be a problem still if other subsystem needs GFP_ATOMIC request. So
kswapd should consider MIGRATE_ISOLATE when it calculate free pages BEFORE
going sleep.
This patch counts the number of MIGRATE_ISOLATE page block and
zone_watermark_ok_safe will consider it if the system has such blocks
(fortunately, it's very rare so no problem in POV overhead and kswapd is
never hotpath).
Copy/modify from Mel's quote
"
Ideal solution would be "allocating" the pageblock.
It would keep the free space accounting as it is but historically,
memory hotplug didn't allocate pages because it would be difficult to
detect if a pageblock was isolated or if part of some balloon.
Allocating just full pageblocks would work around this, However,
it would play very badly with CMA.

The global oom killer is serialized by the per-zonelist
try_set_zonelist_oom() which is used in the page allocator. Concurrent
oom kills are thus a rare event and only occur in systems using
mempolicies and with a large number of nodes.
Memory controller oom kills, however, can frequently be concurrent since
there is no serialization once the oom killer is called for oom conditions
in several different memcgs in parallel.
This creates a massive contention on tasklist_lock since the oom killer
requires the readside for the tasklist iteration. If several memcgs are
calling the oom killer, this lock can be held for a substantial amount of
time, especially if threads continue to enter it as other threads are
exiting.
Since the exit path grabs the writeside of the lock with irqs disabled in
a few different places, this can cause a soft lockup on cpus as a result
of tasklist_lock starvation.
The kernel lacks unfair writelocks, and successful calls to the oom killer
usually result in at least one thread entering the exit path, so an
alternative solution is needed.
This patch introduces a seperate oom handler for memcgs so that they do
not require tasklist_lock for as much time. Instead, it iterates only
over the threads attached to the oom memcg and grabs a reference to the
selected thread before calling oom_kill_process() to ensure it doesn't
prematurely exit.
This still requires tasklist_lock for the tasklist dump, iterating
children of the selected process, and killing all other threads on the
system sharing the same memory as the selected victim. So while this
isn't a complete solution to tasklist_lock starvation, it significantly
reduces the amount of time that it is held.

When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called to create new pgdat for a new node, a
fallback zonelist should be created for the new node. There's code to try
to achieve that in hotadd_new_pgdat() as below:
/*
* The node we allocated has no zone fallback lists. For avoiding
* to access not-initialized zonelist, build here.
*/
mutex_lock(&zonelists_mutex);
build_all_zonelists(pgdat, NULL);
mutex_unlock(&zonelists_mutex);
But it doesn't work as expected. When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called, the
new node is still in offline state because node_set_online(nid) hasn't
been called yet. And build_all_zonelists() only builds zonelists for
online nodes as:
for_each_online_node(nid) {
pg_data_t *pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid);
build_zonelists(pgdat);
build_zonelist_cache(pgdat);
}
Though we hope to create zonelist for the new pgdat, but it doesn't. So
add a new parameter "pgdat" the build_all_zonelists() to build pgdat for
the new pgdat too.

09f363c7 ("vmscan: fix shrinker callback bug in fs/super.c") fixed a
shrinker callback which was returning -1 when nr_to_scan is zero, which
caused excessive slab scanning. But 635697c6 ("vmscan: fix initial
shrinker size handling") fixed the problem, again so we can freely return
-1 although nr_to_scan is zero. So let's revert 09f363c7 because the
comment added in 09f363c7 made an unnecessary rule.

0ee332c145 ("memblock: Kill early_node_map[]") wanted to replace
CONFIG_ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP with CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP but
ended up replacing one occurence with a reference to the non-existent
symbol CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE.
The resulting omission of code would probably have been causing problems
to 32-bit machines with memory hotplug.

Order > 0 compaction stops when enough free pages of the correct page
order have been coalesced. When doing subsequent higher order
allocations, it is possible for compaction to be invoked many times.
However, the compaction code always starts out looking for things to
compact at the start of the zone, and for free pages to compact things to
at the end of the zone.
This can cause quadratic behaviour, with isolate_freepages starting at the
end of the zone each time, even though previous invocations of the
compaction code already filled up all free memory on that end of the zone.
This can cause isolate_freepages to take enormous amounts of CPU with
certain workloads on larger memory systems.
The obvious solution is to have isolate_freepages remember where it left
off last time, and continue at that point the next time it gets invoked
for an order > 0 compaction. This could cause compaction to fail if
cc->free_pfn and cc->migrate_pfn are close together initially, in that
case we restart from the end of the zone and try once more.
Forced full (order == -1) compactions are left alone.

When CONFIG_COMPACTION is enabled, compaction_deferred() tries to
recalculate the deferred limit again, which isn't necessary.
When CONFIG_COMPACTION is disabled, compaction_deferred() should return
"true" or "false" since it has "bool" for its return value.

With HugeTLB pages, hugetlb cgroup is uncharged in compound page
destructor. Since we are holding a hugepage reference, we can be sure
that old page won't get uncharged till the last put_page().

Add the hugetlb cgroup pointer to 3rd page lru.next. This limit the usage
to hugetlb cgroup to only hugepages with 3 or more normal pages. I guess
that is an acceptable limitation.

Implement a new controller that allows us to control HugeTLB allocations.
The extension allows to limit the HugeTLB usage per control group and
enforces the controller limit during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies that,
the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access HugeTLB pages
beyond its limit. This requires the application to know beforehand how
much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use.
The charge/uncharge calls will be added to HugeTLB code in later patch.
Support for cgroup removal will be added in later patches.
