4034247a0d mm: introduce memalloc_retry_wait()
Various places in the kernel - largely in filesystems - respond to a
memory allocation failure by looping around and re-trying.  Some of
these cannot conveniently use __GFP_NOFAIL, for reasons such as:

 - a GFP_ATOMIC allocation, which __GFP_NOFAIL doesn't work on
 - a need to check for the process being signalled between failures
 - the possibility that other recovery actions could be performed
 - the allocation is quite deep in support code, and passing down an
   extra flag to say if __GFP_NOFAIL is wanted would be clumsy.

Many of these currently use congestion_wait() which (in almost all
cases) simply waits the given timeout - congestion isn't tracked for
most devices.

It isn't clear what the best delay is for loops, but it is clear that
the various filesystems shouldn't be responsible for choosing a timeout.

This patch introduces memalloc_retry_wait() with takes on that
responsibility.  Code that wants to retry a memory allocation can call
this function passing the GFP flags that were used.  It will wait
however is appropriate.

For now, it only considers __GFP_NORETRY and whatever
gfpflags_allow_blocking() tests.  If blocking is allowed without
__GFP_NORETRY, then alloc_page either made some reclaim progress, or
waited for a while, before failing.  So there is no need for much
further waiting.  memalloc_retry_wait() will wait until the current
jiffie ends.  If this condition is not met, then alloc_page() won't have
waited much if at all.  In that case memalloc_retry_wait() waits about
200ms.  This is the delay that most current loops uses.

linux/sched/mm.h needs to be included in some files now,
but linux/backing-dev.h does not.

d634525db6 xfs: replace kmem_alloc_large() with kvmalloc()
There is no reason for this wrapper existing anymore. All the places
that use KM_NOFS allocation are within transaction contexts and
hence covered by memalloc_nofs_save/restore contexts. Hence we don't
need any special handling of vmalloc for large IOs anymore and
so special casing this code isn't necessary.

98fe2c3cef xfs: remove kmem_alloc_io()
Since commit 59bb47985c ("mm, sl[aou]b: guarantee natural alignment
for kmalloc(power-of-two)"), the core slab code now guarantees slab
alignment in all situations sufficient for IO purposes (i.e. minimum
of 512 byte alignment of >= 512 byte sized heap allocations) we no
longer need the workaround in the XFS code to provide this
guarantee.

Replace the use of kmem_alloc_io() with kmem_alloc() or
kmem_alloc_large() appropriately, and remove the kmem_alloc_io()
interface altogether.

f8f9ee4794 xfs: add kmem_alloc_io()
Memory we use to submit for IO needs strict alignment to the
underlying driver contraints. Worst case, this is 512 bytes. Given
that all allocations for IO are always a power of 2 multiple of 512
bytes, the kernel heap provides natural alignment for objects of
these sizes and that suffices.

Until, of course, memory debugging of some kind is turned on (e.g.
red zones, poisoning, KASAN) and then the alignment of the heap
objects is thrown out the window. Then we get weird IO errors and
data corruption problems because drivers don't validate alignment
and do the wrong thing when passed unaligned memory buffers in bios.

TO fix this, introduce kmem_alloc_io(), which will guaranteeat least
512 byte alignment of buffers for IO, even if memory debugging
options are turned on. It is assumed that the minimum allocation
size will be 512 bytes, and that sizes will be power of 2 mulitples
of 512 bytes.

Use this everywhere we allocate buffers for IO.

This no longer fails with log recovery errors when KASAN is enabled
due to the brd driver not handling unaligned memory buffers:

# mkfs.xfs -f /dev/ram0 ; mount /dev/ram0 /mnt/test

0ad95687c3 xfs: add kmem allocation trace points
When trying to correlate XFS kernel allocations to memory reclaim
behaviour, it is useful to know what allocations XFS is actually
attempting. This information is not directly available from
tracepoints in the generic memory allocation and reclaim
tracepoints, so these new trace points provide a high level
indication of what the XFS memory demand actually is.

There is no per-filesystem context in this code, so we just trace
the type of allocation, the size and the allocation constraints.
The kmem code also doesn't include much of the common XFS headers,
so there are a few definitions that need to be added to the trace
headers and a couple of types that need to be made common to avoid
needing to include the whole world in the kmem code.

nb: xfs_linux.h includes about 9 headers for everyone, so those

a followup patch could remove those xfs_*.h includes from

0b61f8a407 xfs: convert to SPDX license tags
Remove the verbose license text from XFS files and replace them
with SPDX tags. This does not change the license of any of the code,
merely refers to the common, up-to-date license files in LICENSES/

This change was mostly scripted. fs/xfs/Makefile and
fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_fs.h were modified by hand, the rest were detected
and modified by the following command:

for f in `git grep -l "GNU General" fs/xfs/` ; do
	echo $f
	cat $f | awk -f hdr.awk > $f.new
	mv -f $f.new $f
done

And the hdr.awk script that did the modification (including
detecting the difference between GPL-2.0 and GPL-2.0+ licenses)
is as follows:

$ cat hdr.awk
BEGIN {
	hdr = 1.0
	tag = "GPL-2.0"
	str = ""
}

/^ \* This program is free software/ {
	hdr = 2.0;
	next
}

/any later version./ {
	tag = "GPL-2.0+"
	next
}

/^ \*\// {
	if (hdr > 0.0) {
		print "// SPDX-License-Identifier: " tag
		print str

		str=""
		hdr = 0.0
		next
	}
	print $0

cb0a8d2302 xfs: fall back to vmalloc when allocation log vector buffers
When using large directory blocks, we regularly see memory
allocations of >64k being made for the shadow log vector buffer.
When we are under memory pressure, kmalloc() may not be able to find
contiguous memory chunks large enough to satisfy these allocations
easily, and if memory is fragmented we can potentially stall here.

TO avoid this problem, switch the log vector buffer allocation to
use kmem_alloc_large(). This will allow failed allocations to fall
back to vmalloc and so remove the dependency on large contiguous
regions of memory being available. This should prevent slowdowns
and potential stalls when memory is low and/or fragmented.

19809c2da2 mm, vmalloc: use __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly
__vmalloc* allows users to provide gfp flags for the underlying
allocation.  This API is quite popular

  $ git grep "=[[:space:]]__vmalloc\|return[[:space:]]*__vmalloc" | wc -l
  77

The only problem is that many people are not aware that they really want
to give __GFP_HIGHMEM along with other flags because there is really no
reason to consume precious lowmemory on CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems for pages
which are mapped to the kernel vmalloc space.  About half of users don't
use this flag, though.  This signals that we make the API unnecessarily
too complex.

This patch simply uses __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly when allocating pages to
be mapped to the vmalloc space.  Current users which add __GFP_HIGHMEM
are simplified and drop the flag.

kmem_zalloc_large and _xfs_buf_map_pages use memalloc_noio_{save,restore}
API to prevent from reclaim recursion into the fs because vmalloc can
invoke unconditional GFP_KERNEL allocations and these functions might be
called from the NOFS contexts.  The memalloc_noio_save will enforce
GFP_NOIO context which is even weaker than GFP_NOFS and that seems to be
unnecessary.  Let's use memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} instead as it
should provide exactly what we need here - implicit GFP_NOFS context.

9070733b4e xfs: abstract PF_FSTRANS to PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS
xfs has defined PF_FSTRANS to declare a scope GFP_NOFS semantic quite
some time ago.  We would like to make this concept more generic and use
it for other filesystems as well.  Let's start by giving the flag a more
generic name PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS which is in line with an exiting
PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO already used for the same purpose for GFP_NOIO
contexts.  Replace all PF_FSTRANS usage from the xfs code in the first
step before we introduce a full API for it as xfs uses the flag directly
anyway.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.

it to grab 1-4 pages for staging of inobt records.  The infinite loop in

just get rid of the greedy allocator in favor of kmem_zalloc_large.
This makes bulkstat somewhat more likely to ENOMEM if there's really no
pages to spare, but eliminates a source of hangs.

ae687e58b3 xfs: use NOIO contexts for vm_map_ram
When we map pages in the buffer cache, we can do so in GFP_NOFS
contexts. However, the vmap interfaces do not provide any method of
communicating this information to memory reclaim, and hence we get
lockdep complaining about it regularly and occassionally see hangs
that may be vmap related reclaim deadlocks. We can also see these
same problems from anywhere where we use vmalloc for a large buffer
(e.g. attribute code) inside a transaction context.

A typical lockdep report shows up as a reclaim state warning like so:

Now, we can't completely remove these traces - mainly because
vm_map_ram() will do GFP_KERNEL allocation and that generates the
above warning before we get into the reclaim code, but we can turn
them all into false positive warnings.

To do that, use the method that DM and other IO context code uses to
avoid this problem: there is a process flag to tell memory reclaim
not to do IO that we can set appropriately. That prevents GFP_KERNEL
context reclaim being done from deep inside the vmalloc code in
places we can't directly pass a GFP_NOFS context to. That interface
has a pair of wrapper functions: memalloc_noio_save() and
memalloc_noio_restore().

Adding them around vm_map_ram and the vzalloc call in
kmem_alloc_large() will prevent deadlocks and most lockdep reports
for this issue. Also, convert the vzalloc() call in
kmem_alloc_large() to use __vmalloc() so that we can pass the
correct gfp context to the data page allocation routine inside
__vmalloc() so that it is clear that GFP_NOFS context is important
to this vmalloc call.

359d992bcd xfs: simplify kmem_{zone_}zalloc
Introduce flag KM_ZERO which is used to alloc zeroed entry, and convert
kmem_{zone_}zalloc to call kmem_{zone_}alloc() with KM_ZERO directly,
in order to avoid the setting to zero step. 
And following Dave's suggestion, make kmem_{zone_}zalloc static inline
into kmem.h as they're now just a simple wrapper.

V2:
  Make kmem_{zone_}zalloc static inline into kmem.h as Dave suggested.

fdd3cceef4 xfs: factor all the kmalloc-or-vmalloc fallback allocations
We have quite a few places now where we do:

	x = kmem_zalloc(large size)
	if (!x)
		x = kmem_zalloc_large(large size)

and do a similar dance when freeing the memory. kmem_free() already
does the correct freeing dance, and kmem_zalloc_large() is only ever
called in these constructs, so just factor it all into
kmem_zalloc_large() and kmem_free().

c59d87c460 xfs: remove subdirectories
Use the move from Linux 2.6 to Linux 3.x as an excuse to kill the
annoying subdirectories in the XFS source code.  Besides the large
amount of file rename the only changes are to the Makefile, a few
files including headers with the subdirectory prefix, and the binary
sysctl compat code that includes a header under fs/xfs/ from
kernel/.
