dd78fedde4 rmap: support file thp
Naive approach: on mapping/unmapping the page as compound we update
->_mapcount on each 4k page.  That's not efficient, but it's not obvious
how we can optimize this.  We can look into optimization later.

PG_double_map optimization doesn't work for file pages since lifecycle
of file pages is different comparing to anon pages: file page can be
mapped again at any time.

b1123ea6d3 mm: balloon: use general non-lru movable page feature
Now, VM has a feature to migrate non-lru movable pages so balloon
doesn't need custom migration hooks in migrate.c and compaction.c.

Instead, this patch implements the page->mapping->a_ops->
{isolate|migrate|putback} functions.

With that, we could remove hooks for ballooning in general migration
functions and make balloon compaction simple.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: compaction.h requires that the includer first include node.h]

bda807d444 mm: migrate: support non-lru movable page migration
We have allowed migration for only LRU pages until now and it was enough
to make high-order pages.  But recently, embedded system(e.g., webOS,
android) uses lots of non-movable pages(e.g., zram, GPU memory) so we
have seen several reports about troubles of small high-order allocation.
For fixing the problem, there were several efforts (e,g,.  enhance
compaction algorithm, SLUB fallback to 0-order page, reserved memory,
vmalloc and so on) but if there are lots of non-movable pages in system,
their solutions are void in the long run.

So, this patch is to support facility to change non-movable pages with
movable.  For the feature, this patch introduces functions related to
migration to address_space_operations as well as some page flags.

If a driver want to make own pages movable, it should define three
functions which are function pointers of struct
address_space_operations.

1. bool (*isolate_page) (struct page *page, isolate_mode_t mode);

What VM expects on isolate_page function of driver is to return *true*
if driver isolates page successfully.  On returing true, VM marks the
page as PG_isolated so concurrent isolation in several CPUs skip the
page for isolation.  If a driver cannot isolate the page, it should
return *false*.

Once page is successfully isolated, VM uses page.lru fields so driver
shouldn't expect to preserve values in that fields.

2. int (*migratepage) (struct address_space *mapping,
		struct page *newpage, struct page *oldpage, enum migrate_mode);

After isolation, VM calls migratepage of driver with isolated page.  The
function of migratepage is to move content of the old page to new page
and set up fields of struct page newpage.  Keep in mind that you should
indicate to the VM the oldpage is no longer movable via
__ClearPageMovable() under page_lock if you migrated the oldpage
successfully and returns 0.  If driver cannot migrate the page at the
moment, driver can return -EAGAIN.  On -EAGAIN, VM will retry page
migration in a short time because VM interprets -EAGAIN as "temporal
migration failure".  On returning any error except -EAGAIN, VM will give
up the page migration without retrying in this time.

Driver shouldn't touch page.lru field VM using in the functions.

3. void (*putback_page)(struct page *);

If migration fails on isolated page, VM should return the isolated page
to the driver so VM calls driver's putback_page with migration failed
page.  In this function, driver should put the isolated page back to the
own data structure.

4. non-lru movable page flags

There are two page flags for supporting non-lru movable page.

* PG_movable

Driver should use the below function to make page movable under
page_lock.

	void __SetPageMovable(struct page *page, struct address_space *mapping)

It needs argument of address_space for registering migration family
functions which will be called by VM.  Exactly speaking, PG_movable is
not a real flag of struct page.  Rather than, VM reuses page->mapping's
lower bits to represent it.

	#define PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE 0x2
	page->mapping = page->mapping | PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE;

so driver shouldn't access page->mapping directly.  Instead, driver
should use page_mapping which mask off the low two bits of page->mapping
so it can get right struct address_space.

For testing of non-lru movable page, VM supports __PageMovable function.
However, it doesn't guarantee to identify non-lru movable page because
page->mapping field is unified with other variables in struct page.  As
well, if driver releases the page after isolation by VM, page->mapping
doesn't have stable value although it has PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE (Look at
__ClearPageMovable).  But __PageMovable is cheap to catch whether page
is LRU or non-lru movable once the page has been isolated.  Because LRU
pages never can have PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE in page->mapping.  It is also
good for just peeking to test non-lru movable pages before more
expensive checking with lock_page in pfn scanning to select victim.

For guaranteeing non-lru movable page, VM provides PageMovable function.
Unlike __PageMovable, PageMovable functions validates page->mapping and
mapping->a_ops->isolate_page under lock_page.  The lock_page prevents
sudden destroying of page->mapping.

Driver using __SetPageMovable should clear the flag via
__ClearMovablePage under page_lock before the releasing the page.

* PG_isolated

To prevent concurrent isolation among several CPUs, VM marks isolated
page as PG_isolated under lock_page.  So if a CPU encounters PG_isolated
non-lru movable page, it can skip it.  Driver doesn't need to manipulate
the flag because VM will set/clear it automatically.  Keep in mind that
if driver sees PG_isolated page, it means the page have been isolated by
VM so it shouldn't touch page.lru field.  PG_isolated is alias with
PG_reclaim flag so driver shouldn't use the flag for own purpose.

c6c919eb90 mm: use put_page() to free page instead of putback_lru_page()
Recently, I got many reports about perfermance degradation in embedded
system(Android mobile phone, webOS TV and so on) and easy fork fail.

The problem was fragmentation caused by zram and GPU driver mainly.
With memory pressure, their pages were spread out all of pageblock and
it cannot be migrated with current compaction algorithm which supports
only LRU pages.  In the end, compaction cannot work well so reclaimer
shrinks all of working set pages.  It made system very slow and even to
fail to fork easily which requires order-[2 or 3] allocations.

Other pain point is that they cannot use CMA memory space so when OOM
kill happens, I can see many free pages in CMA area, which is not memory
efficient.  In our product which has big CMA memory, it reclaims zones
too exccessively to allocate GPU and zram page although there are lots
of free space in CMA so system becomes very slow easily.

To solve these problem, this patch tries to add facility to migrate
non-lru pages via introducing new functions and page flags to help
migration.

struct address_space_operations {
	..
	..
	bool (*isolate_page)(struct page *, isolate_mode_t);
	void (*putback_page)(struct page *);
	..
}

new page flags

	PG_movable
	PG_isolated

For details, please read description in "mm: migrate: support non-lru
movable page migration".

Originally, Gioh Kim had tried to support this feature but he moved so I
took over the work.  I took many code from his work and changed a little
bit and Konstantin Khlebnikov helped Gioh a lot so he should deserve to
have many credit, too.

And I should mention Chulmin who have tested this patchset heavily so I
can find many bugs from him.  :)

Thanks, Gioh, Konstantin and Chulmin!

This patchset consists of five parts.

1. clean up migration
  mm: use put_page to free page instead of putback_lru_page

2. add non-lru page migration feature
  mm: migrate: support non-lru movable page migration

3. rework KVM memory-ballooning
  mm: balloon: use general non-lru movable page feature

4. zsmalloc refactoring for preparing page migration
  zsmalloc: keep max_object in size_class
  zsmalloc: use bit_spin_lock
  zsmalloc: use accessor
  zsmalloc: factor page chain functionality out
  zsmalloc: introduce zspage structure
  zsmalloc: separate free_zspage from putback_zspage
  zsmalloc: use freeobj for index

5. zsmalloc page migration
  zsmalloc: page migration support
  zram: use __GFP_MOVABLE for memory allocation

This patch (of 12):

Procedure of page migration is as follows:

First of all, it should isolate a page from LRU and try to migrate the
page.  If it is successful, it releases the page for freeing.
Otherwise, it should put the page back to LRU list.

For LRU pages, we have used putback_lru_page for both freeing and
putback to LRU list.  It's okay because put_page is aware of LRU list so
if it releases last refcount of the page, it removes the page from LRU
list.  However, It makes unnecessary operations (e.g., lru_cache_add,
pagevec and flags operations.  It would be not significant but no worth
to do) and harder to support new non-lru page migration because put_page
isn't aware of non-lru page's data structure.

To solve the problem, we can add new hook in put_page with PageMovable
flags check but it can increase overhead in hot path and needs new
locking scheme to stabilize the flag check with put_page.

So, this patch cleans it up to divide two semantic(ie, put and putback).
If migration is successful, use put_page instead of putback_lru_page and
use putback_lru_page only on failure.  That makes code more readable and
doesn't add overhead in put_page.

Comment from Vlastimil
 "Yeah, and compaction (perhaps also other migration users) has to drain
  the lru pvec...  Getting rid of this stuff is worth even by itself."

dfef2ef402 mm, migrate: increment fail count on ENOMEM
If page migration fails due to -ENOMEM, nr_failed should still be
incremented for proper statistics.

This was encountered recently when all page migration vmstats showed 0,
and inferred that migrate_pages() was never called, although in reality
the first page migration failed because compaction_alloc() failed to
find a migration target.

This patch increments nr_failed so the vmstat is properly accounted on
ENOMEM.

fa9949da59 mm: use __SetPageSwapBacked and dont ClearPageSwapBacked
v3.16 commit 07a4278843 ("mm: shmem: avoid atomic operation during
shmem_getpage_gfp") rightly replaced one instance of SetPageSwapBacked
by __SetPageSwapBacked, pointing out that the newly allocated page is
not yet visible to other users (except speculative get_page_unless_zero-
ers, who may not update page flags before their further checks).

That was part of a series in which Mel was focused on tmpfs profiles:
but almost all SetPageSwapBacked uses can be so optimized, with the same
justification.

Remove ClearPageSwapBacked from __read_swap_cache_async() error path:
it's not an error to free a page with PG_swapbacked set.

Follow a convention of __SetPageLocked, __SetPageSwapBacked instead of
doing it differently in different places; but that's for tidiness - if
the ordering actually mattered, we should not be using the __variants.

There's probably scope for further __SetPageFlags in other places, but
SwapBacked is the one I'm interested in at the moment.

d7e69488bd mm/hwpoison: fix wrong num_poisoned_pages accounting
Currently, migration code increses num_poisoned_pages on *failed*
migration page as well as successfully migrated one at the trial of
memory-failure.  It will make the stat wrong.  As well, it marks the
page as PG_HWPoison even if the migration trial failed.  It would mean
we cannot recover the corrupted page using memory-failure facility.

This patches fixes it.

fe896d1878 mm: introduce page reference manipulation functions
The success of CMA allocation largely depends on the success of
migration and key factor of it is page reference count.  Until now, page
reference is manipulated by direct calling atomic functions so we cannot
follow up who and where manipulate it.  Then, it is hard to find actual
reason of CMA allocation failure.  CMA allocation should be guaranteed
to succeed so finding offending place is really important.

In this patch, call sites where page reference is manipulated are
converted to introduced wrapper function.  This is preparation step to
add tracepoint to each page reference manipulation function.  With this
facility, we can easily find reason of CMA allocation failure.  There is
no functional change in this patch.

In addition, this patch also converts reference read sites.  It will
help a second step that renames page._count to something else and
prevents later attempt to direct access to it (Suggested by Andrew).

6a93ca8fde mm: migrate: do not touch page->mem_cgroup of live pages
Changing a page's memcg association complicates dealing with the page,
so we want to limit this as much as possible.  Page migration e.g.  does
not have to do that.  Just like page cache replacement, it can forcibly
charge a replacement page, and then uncharge the old page when it gets
freed.  Temporarily overcharging the cgroup by a single page is not an
issue in practice, and charging is so cheap nowadays that this is much
preferrable to the headache of messing with live pages.

The only place that still changes the page->mem_cgroup binding of live
pages is when pages move along with a task to another cgroup.  But that
path isolates the page from the LRU, takes the page lock, and the move
lock (lock_page_memcg()).  That means page->mem_cgroup is always stable
in callers that have the page isolated from the LRU or locked.  Lighter
unlocked paths, like writeback accounting, can use lock_page_memcg().

7cd12b4abf mm, page_owner: track and print last migrate reason
During migration, page_owner info is now copied with the rest of the
page, so the stacktrace leading to free page allocation during migration
is overwritten.  For debugging purposes, it might be however useful to
know that the page has been migrated since its initial allocation.  This
might happen many times during the lifetime for different reasons and
fully tracking this, especially with stacktraces would incur extra
memory costs.  As a compromise, store and print the migrate_reason of
the last migration that occurred to the page.  This is enough to
distinguish compaction, numa balancing etc.

Example page_owner entry after the patch:

d435edca92 mm, page_owner: copy page owner info during migration
The page_owner mechanism stores gfp_flags of an allocation and stack
trace that lead to it.  During page migration, the original information
is practically replaced by the allocation of free page as the migration
target.  Arguably this is less useful and might lead to all the
page_owner info for migratable pages gradually converge towards
compaction or numa balancing migrations.  It has also lead to
inaccuracies such as one fixed by commit e2cfc91120 ("mm/page_owner:
set correct gfp_mask on page_owner").

This patch thus introduces copying the page_owner info during migration.
However, since the fact that the page has been migrated from its
original place might be useful for debugging, the next patch will
introduce a way to track that information as well.

8479eba778 mm: numa: quickly fail allocations for NUMA balancing on full nodes
Commit 4167e9b2cf ("mm: remove GFP_THISNODE") removed the GFP_THISNODE
flag combination due to confusing semantics.  It noted that
alloc_misplaced_dst_page() was one such user after changes made by
commit e97ca8e5b8 ("mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarify").

Unfortunately when GFP_THISNODE was removed, users of
alloc_misplaced_dst_page() started waking kswapd and entering direct
reclaim because the wrong GFP flags are cleared.  The consequence is
that workloads that used to fit into memory now get reclaimed which is
addressed by this patch.

The problem can be demonstrated with "mutilate" that exercises memcached
which is software dedicated to memory object caching.  The configuration
uses 80% of memory and is run 3 times for varying numbers of clients.
The results on a 4-socket NUMA box are

The vanilla kernel is swapping like crazy with large amounts of direct
reclaim and kswapd activity.  The figures are aggregate but it's known
that the bad activity is throughout the entire test.

Note that simple streaming anon/file memory consumers also see this
problem but it's not as obvious.  In those cases, kswapd is awake when
it should not be.

As there are at least two reclaim-related bugs out there, it's worth
spelling out the user-visible impact.  This patch only addresses bugs
related to excessive reclaim on NUMA hardware when the working set is
larger than a NUMA node.  There is a bug related to high kswapd CPU
usage but the reports are against laptops and other UMA hardware and is
not addressed by this patch.

9a982250f7 thp: introduce deferred_split_huge_page()
Currently we don't split huge page on partial unmap.  It's not an ideal
situation.  It can lead to memory overhead.

Furtunately, we can detect partial unmap on page_remove_rmap().  But we
cannot call split_huge_page() from there due to locking context.

It's also counterproductive to do directly from munmap() codepath: in
many cases we will hit this from exit(2) and splitting the huge page
just to free it up in small pages is not what we really want.

The patch introduce deferred_split_huge_page() which put the huge page
into queue for splitting.  The splitting itself will happen when we get
memory pressure via shrinker interface.  The page will be dropped from
list on freeing through compound page destructor.

We're going to use migration entries instead of compound_lock() to

53f9263bab mm: rework mapcount accounting to enable 4k mapping of THPs
We're going to allow mapping of individual 4k pages of THP compound.  It
means we need to track mapcount on per small page basis.

Straight-forward approach is to use ->_mapcount in all subpages to track
how many time this subpage is mapped with PMDs or PTEs combined.  But
this is rather expensive: mapping or unmapping of a THP page with PMD
would require HPAGE_PMD_NR atomic operations instead of single we have
now.

The idea is to store separately how many times the page was mapped as
whole -- compound_mapcount.  This frees up ->_mapcount in subpages to
track PTE mapcount.

We use the same approach as with compound page destructor and compound
order to store compound_mapcount: use space in first tail page,
->mapping this time.

Any time we map/unmap whole compound page (THP or hugetlb) -- we
increment/decrement compound_mapcount.  When we map part of compound
page with PTE we operate on ->_mapcount of the subpage.

page_mapcount() counts both: PTE and PMD mappings of the page.

Basically, we have mapcount for a subpage spread over two counters.  It
makes tricky to detect when last mapcount for a page goes away.

We introduced PageDoubleMap() for this.  When we split THP PMD for the
first time and there's other PMD mapping left we offset up ->_mapcount
in all subpages by one and set PG_double_map on the compound page.
These additional references go away with last compound_mapcount.

This approach provides a way to detect when last mapcount goes away on
per small page basis without introducing new overhead for most common
cases.

48c935ad88 page-flags: define PG_locked behavior on compound pages
lock_page() must operate on the whole compound page.  It doesn't make
much sense to lock part of compound page.  Change code to use head
page's PG_locked, if tail page is passed.

This patch also gets rid of custom helper functions --
__set_page_locked() and __clear_page_locked().  They are replaced with
helpers generated by __SETPAGEFLAG/__CLEARPAGEFLAG.  Tail pages to these
helper would trigger VM_BUG_ON().

SLUB uses PG_locked as a bit spin locked.  IIUC, tail pages should never
appear there.  VM_BUG_ON() is added to make sure that this assumption is
correct.

71baba4b92 mm, page_alloc: rename __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM
__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and
could not sleep.  Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic
context and callers that are not willing to sleep.  The latter should
clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake.  As clearing
__GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the
wrong flags.  This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly
indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing
them prevents it.

d0164adc89 mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd
__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts.  They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve".  __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".

Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available.  Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.

This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative.  High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH.  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim.  __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim.  __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.

This patch then converts a number of sites

o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
  pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.

o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
  into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
  are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.

o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
  helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
  checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
  positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
  is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
  flag manipulations.

o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
  and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.

The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.

The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL.  They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.  It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

42cb14b110 mm: migrate dirty page without clear_page_dirty_for_io etc
clear_page_dirty_for_io() has accumulated writeback and memcg subtleties
since v2.6.16 first introduced page migration; and the set_page_dirty()
which completed its migration of PageDirty, later had to be moderated to
__set_page_dirty_nobuffers(); then PageSwapBacked had to skip that too.

No actual problems seen with this procedure recently, but if you look into
what the clear_page_dirty_for_io(page)+set_page_dirty(newpage) is actually
achieving, it turns out to be nothing more than moving the PageDirty flag,
and its NR_FILE_DIRTY stat from one zone to another.

It would be good to avoid a pile of irrelevant decrementations and
incrementations, and improper event counting, and unnecessary descent of
the radix_tree under tree_lock (to set the PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY which
radix_tree_replace_slot() left in place anyway).

Do the NR_FILE_DIRTY movement, like the other stats movements, while
interrupts still disabled in migrate_page_move_mapping(); and don't even
bother if the zone is the same.  Do the PageDirty movement there under
tree_lock too, where old page is frozen and newpage not yet visible:
bearing in mind that as soon as newpage becomes visible in radix_tree, an
un-page-locked set_page_dirty() might interfere (or perhaps that's just
not possible: anything doing so should already hold an additional
reference to the old page, preventing its migration; but play safe).

But we do still need to transfer PageDirty in migrate_page_copy(), for
those who don't go the mapping route through migrate_page_move_mapping().

cf4b769abb mm: page migration avoid touching newpage until no going back
We have had trouble in the past from the way in which page migration's
newpage is initialized in dribs and drabs - see commit 8bdd638091 ("mm:
fix direct reclaim writeback regression") which proposed a cleanup.

We have no actual problem now, but I think the procedure would be clearer
(and alternative get_new_page pools safer to implement) if we assert that
newpage is not touched until we are sure that it's going to be used -
except for taking the trylock on it in __unmap_and_move().

So shift the early initializations from move_to_new_page() into
migrate_page_move_mapping(), mapping and NULL-mapping paths.  Similarly
migrate_huge_page_move_mapping(), but its NULL-mapping path can just be
deleted: you cannot reach hugetlbfs_migrate_page() with a NULL mapping.

Adjust stages 3 to 8 in the Documentation file accordingly.

03f15c86c8 mm: simplify page migration's anon_vma comment and flow
__unmap_and_move() contains a long stale comment on page_get_anon_vma()
and PageSwapCache(), with an odd control flow that's hard to follow.
Mostly this reflects our confusion about the lifetime of an anon_vma, in
the early days of page migration, before we could take a reference to one.
 Nowadays this seems quite straightforward: cut it all down to essentials.

I cannot see the relevance of swapcache here at all, so don't treat it any
differently: I believe the old comment reflects in part our anon_vma
confusions, and in part the original v2.6.16 page migration technique,
which used actual swap to migrate anon instead of swap-like migration
entries.  Why should a swapcache page not be migrated with the aid of
migration entry ptes like everything else?  So lose that comment now, and
enable migration entries for swapcache in the next patch.

5c3f9a6737 mm: page migration remove_migration_ptes at lock+unlock level
Clean up page migration a little more by calling remove_migration_ptes()
from the same level, on success or on failure, from __unmap_and_move() or
from unmap_and_move_huge_page().

Don't reset page->mapping of a PageAnon old page in move_to_new_page(),
leave that to when the page is freed.  Except for here in page migration,
it has been an invariant that a PageAnon (bit set in page->mapping) page
stays PageAnon until it is freed, and I think we're safer to keep to that.

And with the above rearrangement, it's necessary because zap_pte_range()
wants to identify whether a migration entry represents a file or an anon
page, to update the appropriate rss stats without waiting on it.

But make one kind-of-functional change on the way: whereas trylock of
newpage used to BUG() if it failed, now simply return -EAGAIN if so.
Cutting out BUG()s is good, right?  But, to be honest, this is really to
extend the usefulness of the custom put_new_page feature, allowing a pool
of new pages to be shared perhaps with racing uses.

Use an "else" instead of that "skip_unmap" label.

2def7424c9 mm: page migration use the put_new_page whenever necessary
I don't know of any problem from the way it's used in our current tree,
but there is one defect in page migration's custom put_new_page feature.

An unused newpage is expected to be released with the put_new_page(), but
there was one MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS (0) path which released it with
putback_lru_page(): which can be very wrong for a custom pool.

Fixed more easily by resetting put_new_page once it won't be needed, than
by adding a further flag to modify the rc test.

After v4.3's commit 0610c25daa ("memcg: fix dirty page migration")
mem_cgroup_migrate() doesn't have much to offer in page migration: convert
migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() to set_page_memcg() instead.

Then rename mem_cgroup_migrate() to mem_cgroup_replace_page(), since its
remaining callers are replace_page_cache_page() and shmem_replace_page():
both of whom passed lrucare true, so just eliminate that argument.

51afb12ba8 mm: page migration fix PageMlocked on migrated pages
Commit e6c509f854 ("mm: use clear_page_mlock() in page_remove_rmap()")
in v3.7 inadvertently made mlock_migrate_page() impotent: page migration
unmaps the page from userspace before migrating, and that commit clears
PageMlocked on the final unmap, leaving mlock_migrate_page() with
nothing to do.  Not a serious bug, the next attempt at reclaiming the
page would fix it up; but a betrayal of page migration's intent - the
new page ought to emerge as PageMlocked.

I don't see how to fix it for mlock_migrate_page() itself; but easily
fixed in remove_migration_pte(), by calling mlock_vma_page() when the vma
is VM_LOCKED - under pte lock as in try_to_unmap_one().

Delete mlock_migrate_page()?  Not quite, it does still serve a purpose for
migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(): where we could replace it by a test,
clear_page_mlock(), mlock_vma_page() sequence; but would that be an
improvement?  mlock_migrate_page() is fairly lean, and let's make it
leaner by skipping the irq save/restore now clearly not needed.

0610c25daa memcg: fix dirty page migration
The problem starts with a file backed dirty page which is charged to a
memcg.  Then page migration is used to move oldpage to newpage.

Migration:
 - copies the oldpage's data to newpage
 - clears oldpage.PG_dirty
 - sets newpage.PG_dirty
 - uncharges oldpage from memcg
 - charges newpage to memcg

Clearing oldpage.PG_dirty decrements the charged memcg's dirty page
count.

However, because newpage is not yet charged, setting newpage.PG_dirty
does not increment the memcg's dirty page count.  After migration
completes newpage.PG_dirty is eventually cleared, often in
account_page_cleaned().  At this time newpage is charged to a memcg so
the memcg's dirty page count is decremented which causes underflow
because the count was not previously incremented by migration.  This
underflow causes balance_dirty_pages() to see a very large unsigned
number of dirty memcg pages which leads to aggressive throttling of
buffered writes by processes in non root memcg.

This issue:
 - can harm performance of non root memcg buffered writes.
 - can report too small (even negative) values in
   memory.stat[(total_)dirty] counters of all memcg, including the root.

To avoid polluting migrate.c with #ifdef CONFIG_MEMCG checks, introduce
page_memcg() and set_page_memcg() helpers.

Test:
    0) setup and enter limited memcg
    mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
    echo 1G > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
    echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cgroup.procs

    1) buffered writes baseline
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/tmp/foo bs=1M count=1k
    sync
    grep ^dirty /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.stat

    2) buffered writes with compaction antagonist to induce migration
    yes 1 > /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory &
    rm -rf /data/tmp/foo
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/tmp/foo bs=1M count=1k
    kill %
    sync
    grep ^dirty /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.stat

    3) buffered writes without antagonist, should match baseline
    rm -rf /data/tmp/foo
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/tmp/foo bs=1M count=1k
    sync
    grep ^dirty /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.stat

                       (speed, dirty residue)
             unpatched                       patched
    1) 841 MB/s 0 dirty pages          886 MB/s 0 dirty pages
    2) 611 MB/s -33427456 dirty pages  793 MB/s 0 dirty pages
    3) 114 MB/s -33427456 dirty pages  891 MB/s 0 dirty pages

    Notice that unpatched baseline performance (1) fell after
    migration (3): 841 -> 114 MB/s.  In the patched kernel, post
    migration performance matches baseline.

33c3fc71c8 mm: introduce idle page tracking
Knowing the portion of memory that is not used by a certain application or
memory cgroup (idle memory) can be useful for partitioning the system
efficiently, e.g.  by setting memory cgroup limits appropriately.
Currently, the only means to estimate the amount of idle memory provided
by the kernel is /proc/PID/{clear_refs,smaps}: the user can clear the
access bit for all pages mapped to a particular process by writing 1 to
clear_refs, wait for some time, and then count smaps:Referenced.  However,
this method has two serious shortcomings:

 - it does not count unmapped file pages
 - it affects the reclaimer logic

To overcome these drawbacks, this patch introduces two new page flags,
Idle and Young, and a new sysfs file, /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap.
A page's Idle flag can only be set from userspace by setting bit in
/sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap at the offset corresponding to the page,
and it is cleared whenever the page is accessed either through page tables
(it is cleared in page_referenced() in this case) or using the read(2)
system call (mark_page_accessed()). Thus by setting the Idle flag for
pages of a particular workload, which can be found e.g.  by reading
/proc/PID/pagemap, waiting for some time to let the workload access its
working set, and then reading the bitmap file, one can estimate the amount
of pages that are not used by the workload.

The Young page flag is used to avoid interference with the memory
reclaimer.  A page's Young flag is set whenever the Access bit of a page
table entry pointing to the page is cleared by writing to the bitmap file.
If page_referenced() is called on a Young page, it will add 1 to its
return value, therefore concealing the fact that the Access bit was
cleared.

Note, since there is no room for extra page flags on 32 bit, this feature
uses extended page flags when compiled on 32 bit.

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.

This race is explained like below:

  soft_offline_page
  __soft_offline_page
  TestSetPageHWPoison
                        unpoison_memory
                        PageHWPoison check (true)
                        TestClearPageHWPoison
                        put_page    -> release refcount held by get_hwpoison_page in unpoison_memory
                        put_page    -> release refcount held by isolate_lru_page in __soft_offline_page
  migrate_pages

The second put_page() releases refcount held by isolate_lru_page() which
will lead to unmap_and_move() releases the last refcount of page and w/
mapcount still 1 since try_to_unmap() is not called if there is only one
user map the page.  Anyway, the page refcount and mapcount will still
mess if the page is mapped by multiple users.

This race was introduced by commit 4491f71260 ("mm/memory-failure: set
PageHWPoison before migrate_pages()"), which focuses on preventing the
reuse of successfully migrated page.  Before this commit we prevent the
reuse by changing the migratetype to MIGRATE_ISOLATE during soft
offlining, which has the following problems, so simply reverting the
commit is not a best option:

  1) it doesn't eliminate the reuse completely, because
     set_migratetype_isolate() can fail to set MIGRATE_ISOLATE to the
     target page if the pageblock of the page contains one or more
     unmovable pages (i.e.  has_unmovable_pages() returns true).

  2) the original code changes migratetype to MIGRATE_ISOLATE
     forcibly, and sets it to MIGRATE_MOVABLE forcibly after soft offline,
     regardless of the original migratetype state, which could impact
     other subsystems like memory hotplug or compaction.

This patch moves PageSetHWPoison just after put_page() in
unmap_and_move(), which closes up the reported race window and minimizes
another race window b/w SetPageHWPoison and reallocation (which causes
the reuse of soft-offlined page.) The latter race window still exists
but it's acceptable, because it's rare and effectively the same as
ordinary "containment failure" case even if it happens, so keep the
window open is acceptable.

f4c18e6f7b mm: check __PG_HWPOISON separately from PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_*
The race condition addressed in commit add05cecef ("mm: soft-offline:
don't free target page in successful page migration") was not closed
completely, because that can happen not only for soft-offline, but also
for hard-offline.  Consider that a slab page is about to be freed into
buddy pool, and then an uncorrected memory error hits the page just
after entering __free_one_page(), then VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page->flags &
PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP) is triggered, despite the fact that it's not
necessary because the data on the affected page is not consumed.

To solve it, this patch drops __PG_HWPOISON from page flag checks at
allocation/free time.  I think it's justified because __PG_HWPOISON
flags is defined to prevent the page from being reused, and setting it
outside the page's alloc-free cycle is a designed behavior (not a bug.)

For recent months, I was annoyed about BUG_ON when soft-offlined page
remains on lru cache list for a while, which is avoided by calling
put_page() instead of putback_lru_page() in page migration's success
path.  This means that this patch reverts a major change from commit
add05cecef about the new refcounting rule of soft-offlined pages, so
"reuse window" revives.  This will be closed by a subsequent patch.

8809aa2d28 mm: clarify that the function operates on hugepage pte
We have confusing functions to clear pmd, pmd_clear_* and pmd_clear.  Add
_huge_ to pmdp_clear functions so that we are clear that they operate on
hugepage pte.

We don't bother about other functions like pmdp_set_wrprotect,
pmdp_clear_flush_young, because they operate on PTE bits and hence
indicate they are operating on hugepage ptes

When soft offline successfully migrates page, the source page is supposed
to be freed.  But there is a race condition where a source page looks
isolated (i.e.  the refcount is 0 and the PageHWPoison is set) but
somewhat linked to pcplist.  Then another soft offline event calls
drain_all_pages() and tries to free such hwpoisoned page, which is
forbidden.

This odd page state seems to happen due to the race between put_page() in
putback_lru_page() and __pagevec_lru_add_fn().  But I don't want to play
with tweaking drain code as done in commit 9ab3b598d2 "mm: hwpoison:
drop lru_add_drain_all() in __soft_offline_page()", or to change page
freeing code for this soft offline's purpose.

Instead, let's think about the difference between hard offline and soft
offline.  There is an interesting difference in how to isolate the in-use
page between these, that is, hard offline marks PageHWPoison of the target
page at first, and doesn't free it by keeping its refcount 1.  OTOH, soft
offline tries to free the target page then marks PageHWPoison.  This
difference might be the source of complexity and result in bugs like the
above.  So making soft offline isolate with keeping refcount can be a
solution for this problem.

We can pass to page migration code the "reason" which shows the caller, so
let's use this more to avoid calling putback_lru_page() when called from
soft offline, which effectively does the isolation for soft offline.  With
this change, target pages of soft offline never be reused without changing
migratetype, so this patch also removes the related code.

b3b3a99c53 mm/migrate: check-before-clear PageSwapCache
With the page flag sanitization patchset, an invalid usage of
ClearPageSwapCache() is detected in migration_page_copy().
migrate_page_copy() is shared by both normal and hugepage (both thp and
hugetlb) code path, so let's check PageSwapCache() and clear it if it's
set to avoid misuse of the invalid clear operation.

5d83306213 mm: numa: do not dereference pmd outside of the lock during NUMA hinting fault
Automatic NUMA balancing depends on being able to protect PTEs to trap a
fault and gather reference locality information.  Very broadly speaking
it would mark PTEs as not present and use another bit to distinguish
between NUMA hinting faults and other types of faults.  It was
universally loved by everybody and caused no problems whatsoever.  That
last sentence might be a lie.

This series is very heavily based on patches from Linus and Aneesh to
replace the existing PTE/PMD NUMA helper functions with normal change
protections.  I did alter and add parts of it but I consider them
relatively minor contributions.  At their suggestion, acked-bys are in
there but I've no problem converting them to Signed-off-by if requested.

AFAIK, this has received no testing on ppc64 and I'm depending on Aneesh
for that.  I tested trinity under kvm-tool and passed and ran a few
other basic tests.  At the time of writing, only the short-lived tests
have completed but testing of V2 indicated that long-term testing had no
surprises.  In most cases I'm leaving out detail as it's not that
interesting.

specjbb single JVM: There was negligible performance difference in the
	benchmark itself for short runs. However, system activity is
	higher and interrupts are much higher over time -- possibly TLB
	flushes. Migrations are also higher. Overall, this is more overhead
	but considering the problems faced with the old approach I think
	we just have to suck it up and find another way of reducing the
	overhead.

specjbb multi JVM: Negligible performance difference to the actual benchmark
	but like the single JVM case, the system overhead is noticeably
	higher.  Again, interrupts are a major factor.

autonumabench: This was all over the place and about all that can be
	reasonably concluded is that it's different but not necessarily
	better or worse.

System CPU usage of NUMA01 is worse but it's an adverse workload on this

the other workloads that are sensible on this machine, system CPU usage is
great.  Overall time to complete the benchmark is comparable

The NUMA pages migrated look terrible but when I looked at a graph of the
activity over time I see that the massive spike in migration activity was
during NUMA01.  This correlates with high system CPU usage and could be
simply down to bad luck but any modifications that affect that workload
would be related to scan rates and migrations, not the protection
mechanism.  For all other workloads, migration activity was comparable.

Overall, headline performance figures are comparable but the overhead is
higher, mostly in interrupts.  To some extent, higher overhead from this
approach was anticipated but not to this degree.  It's going to be
necessary to reduce this again with a separate series in the future.  It's
still worth going ahead with this series though as it's likely to avoid
constant headaches with Xen and is probably easier to maintain.

This patch (of 10):

A transhuge NUMA hinting fault may find the page is migrating and should
wait until migration completes.  The check is race-prone because the pmd
is deferenced outside of the page lock and while the race is tiny, it'll
be larger if the PMD is cleared while marking PMDs for hinting fault.
This patch closes the race.

e66f17ff71 mm/hugetlb: take page table lock in follow_huge_pmd()
We have a race condition between move_pages() and freeing hugepages, where
move_pages() calls follow_page(FOLL_GET) for hugepages internally and
tries to get its refcount without preventing concurrent freeing.  This
race crashes the kernel, so this patch fixes it by moving FOLL_GET code
for hugepages into follow_huge_pmd() with taking the page table lock.

This patch intentionally removes page==NULL check after pte_page.
This is justified because pte_page() never returns NULL for any
architectures or configurations.

This patch changes the behavior of follow_huge_pmd() for tail pages and
then tail pages can be pinned/returned.  So the caller must be changed to
properly handle the returned tail pages.

We could have a choice to add the similar locking to
follow_huge_(addr|pud) for consistency, but it's not necessary because
currently these functions don't support FOLL_GET flag, so let's leave it
for future development.

Here is the reproducer:
