Currently memory-hotplug has two limits:
1. If the memory block is in ZONE_NORMAL, you can change it to
ZONE_MOVABLE, but this memory block must be adjacent to ZONE_MOVABLE.
2. If the memory block is in ZONE_MOVABLE, you can change it to
ZONE_NORMAL, but this memory block must be adjacent to ZONE_NORMAL.
With this patch, we can easy to know a memory block can be onlined to
which zone, and don't need to know the above two limits.
Updated the related Documentation.

Because of chicken and egg problem, initialization of SLAB is really
complicated. We need to allocate cpu cache through SLAB to make the
kmem_cache work, but before initialization of kmem_cache, allocation
through SLAB is impossible.
On the other hand, SLUB does initialization in a more simple way. It uses
percpu allocator to allocate cpu cache so there is no chicken and egg
problem.
So, this patch try to use percpu allocator in SLAB. This simplifies the
initialization step in SLAB so that we could maintain SLAB code more
easily.
In my testing there is no performance difference.
This implementation relies on percpu allocator. Because percpu allocator
uses vmalloc address space, vmalloc address space could be exhausted by
this change on many cpu system with *32 bit* kernel. This implementation
can cover 1024 cpus in worst case by following calculation.
Worst: 1024 cpus * 4 bytes for pointer * 300 kmem_caches *
120 objects per cpu_cache = 140 MB
Normal: 1024 cpus * 4 bytes for pointer * 150 kmem_caches(slab merge) *
80 objects per cpu_cache = 46 MB

Slab merge is good feature to reduce fragmentation. If new creating slab
have similar size and property with exsitent slab, this feature reuse it
rather than creating new one. As a result, objects are packed into fewer
slabs so that fragmentation is reduced.
Below is result of my testing.
* After boot, sleep 20; cat /proc/meminfo | grep Slab
<Before>
Slab: 25136 kB
<After>
Slab: 24364 kB
We can save 3% memory used by slab.
For supporting this feature in SLAB, we need to implement SLAB specific
kmem_cache_flag() and __kmem_cache_alias(), because SLUB implements some
SLUB specific processing related to debug flag and object size change on
these functions.

Anton noticed (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg67489.html) that
on ppc LPARs with memoryless nodes, a large amount of memory was consumed
by slabs and was marked unreclaimable. He tracked it down to slab
deactivations in the SLUB core when we allocate remotely, leading to poor
efficiency always when memoryless nodes are present.
After much discussion, Joonsoo provided a few patches that help
significantly. They don't resolve the problem altogether:
- memory hotplug still needs testing, that is when a memoryless node
becomes memory-ful, we want to dtrt
- there are other reasons for going off-node than memoryless nodes,
e.g., fully exhausted local nodes
Neither case is resolved with this series, but I don't think that should
block their acceptance, as they can be explored/resolved with follow-on
patches.
The series consists of:
[1/3] topology: add support for node_to_mem_node() to determine the
fallback node
[2/3] slub: fallback to node_to_mem_node() node if allocating on
memoryless node
- Joonsoo's patches to cache the nearest node with memory for each
NUMA node
[3/3] Partial revert of 81c98869fa (""kthread: ensure locality of
task_struct allocations")
- At Tejun's request, keep the knowledge of memoryless node fallback
to the allocator core.
This patch (of 3):
We need to determine the fallback node in slub allocator if the allocation
target node is memoryless node. Without it, the SLUB wrongly select the
node which has no memory and can't use a partial slab, because of node
mismatch. Introduced function, node_to_mem_node(X), will return a node Y
with memory that has the nearest distance. If X is memoryless node, it
will return nearest distance node, but, if X is normal node, it will
return itself.
We will use this function in following patch to determine the fallback
node.

Tracing of mergeable slabs as well as uses of failslab are confusing since
the objects of multiple slab caches will be affected. Moreover this
creates a situation where a mergeable slab will become unmergeable.
If tracing or failslab testing is desired then it may be best to switch
merging off for starters.

cache_free_alien() is rarely used function when node mismatch. But, it is
defined with inline attribute so it is inlined to __cache_free() which is
core free function of slab allocator. It uselessly makes
kmem_cache_free()/kfree() functions large. What we really need to inline
is just checking node match so this patch factor out other parts of
cache_free_alien() to reduce code size of kmem_cache_free()/ kfree().

Now, we track caller if tracing or slab debugging is enabled. If they are
disabled, we could save one argument passing overhead by calling
__kmalloc(_node)(). But, I think that it would be marginal. Furthermore,
default slab allocator, SLUB, doesn't use this technique so I think that
it's okay to change this situation.
After this change, we can turn on/off CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB without full
kernel build and remove some complicated '#if' defintion. It looks more
benefitial to me.

We don't need to keep kmem_cache definition in include/linux/slab.h if we
don't need to inline kmem_cache_size(). According to my code inspection,
this function is only called at lc_create() in lib/lru_cache.c which may
be called at initialization phase of something, so we don't need to inline
it. Therfore, move it to slab_common.c and move kmem_cache definition to
internal header.
After this change, we can change kmem_cache definition easily without full
kernel build. For instance, we can turn on/off CONFIG_SLUB_STATS without
full kernel build.

- Rename vm_is_stack() to task_of_stack() and change it to return
"struct task_struct *" rather than the global (and thus wrong in
general) pid_t.
- Add the new pid_of_stack() helper which calls task_of_stack() and
uses the right namespace to report the correct pid_t.
Unfortunately we need to define this helper twice, in task_mmu.c
and in task_nommu.c. perhaps it makes sense to add fs/proc/util.c
and move at least pid_of_stack/task_of_stack there to avoid the
code duplication.
- Change show_map_vma() and show_numa_map() to use the new helper.

The zone allocation batches can easily underflow due to higher-order
allocations or spills to remote nodes. On SMP that's fine, because
underflows are expected from concurrency and dealt with by returning 0.
But on UP, zone_page_state will just return a wrapped unsigned long,
which will get past the <= 0 check and then consider the zone eligible
until its watermarks are hit.
Commit 3a025760fc ("mm: page_alloc: spill to remote nodes before
waking kswapd") already made the counter-resetting use
atomic_long_read() to accomodate underflows from remote spills, but it
didn't go all the way with it.
Make it clear that these batches are expected to go negative regardless
of concurrency, and use atomic_long_read() everywhere.

The cgroup iterators yield css objects that have not yet gone through
css_online(), but they are not complete memcgs at this point and so the
memcg iterators should not return them. Commit d8ad305597 ("mm/memcg:
iteration skip memcgs not yet fully initialized") set out to implement
exactly this, but it uses CSS_ONLINE, a cgroup-internal flag that does
not meet the ordering requirements for memcg, and so the iterator may
skip over initialized groups, or return partially initialized memcgs.
The cgroup core can not reasonably provide a clear answer on whether the
object around the css has been fully initialized, as that depends on
controller-specific locking and lifetime rules. Thus, introduce a
memcg-specific flag that is set after the memcg has been initialized in
css_online(), and read before mem_cgroup_iter() callers access the memcg
members.

This patch reverts 1ba6e0b50b ("mm: numa: split_huge_page: transfer the
NUMA type from the pmd to the pte"). If a huge page is being split due
a protection change and the tail will be in a PROT_NONE vma then NUMA
hinting PTEs are temporarily created in the protected VMA.

split here
In the specific case above, it should get fixed up by change_pte_range()
but there is a window of opportunity for weirdness to happen. Similarly,
if a huge page is shrunk and split during a protection update but before
pmd_numa is cleared then a pte_numa can be left behind.
Instead of adding complexity trying to deal with the case, this patch
will not mark PTEs NUMA when splitting a huge page. NUMA hinting faults
will not be triggered which is marginal in comparison to the complexity
in dealing with the corner cases during THP split.

A migration entry is marked as write if pte_write was true at the time the
entry was created. The VMA protections are not double checked when migration
entries are being removed as mprotect marks write-migration-entries as
read. It means that potentially we take a spurious fault to mark PTEs write
again but it's straight-forward. However, there is a race between write
migrations being marked read and migrations finishing. This potentially
allows a PTE to be write that should have been read. Close this race by
double checking the VMA permissions using maybe_mkwrite when migration
completes.

itself at any time. This obscure bug manifested as corrupt

The third argument of fuse_get_user_pages() "nbytesp" refers to the number of
bytes a caller asked to pack into fuse request. This value may be lesser
than capacity of fuse request or iov_iter. So fuse_get_user_pages() must
ensure that *nbytesp won't grow.
Now, when helper iov_iter_get_pages() performs all hard work of extracting
pages from iov_iter, it can be done by passing properly calculated
"maxsize" to the helper.
The other caller of iov_iter_get_pages() (dio_refill_pages()) doesn't need
this capability, so pass LONG_MAX as the maxsize argument here.

In commit c1221321b7
sched: Allow wait_on_bit_action() functions to support a timeout
I suggested that a "wait_on_bit_timeout()" interface would not meet my
need. This isn't true - I was just over-engineering.
Including a 'private' field in wait_bit_key instead of a focused
"timeout" field was just premature generalization. If some other
use is ever found, it can be generalized or added later.
So this patch renames "private" to "timeout" with a meaning "stop
waiting when "jiffies" reaches or passes "timeout",
and adds two of the many possible wait..bit..timeout() interfaces:
wait_on_page_bit_killable_timeout(), which is the one I want to use,
and out_of_line_wait_on_bit_timeout() which is a reasonably general
example. Others can be added as needed.

When we change cpuset.memory_spread_{page,slab}, cpuset will flip
PF_SPREAD_{PAGE,SLAB} bit of tsk->flags for each task in that cpuset.
This should be done using atomic bitops, but currently we don't,
which is broken.
Tetsuo reported a hard-to-reproduce kernel crash on RHEL6, which happened
when one thread tried to clear PF_USED_MATH while at the same time another
thread tried to flip PF_SPREAD_PAGE/PF_SPREAD_SLAB. They both operate on
the same task.
Here's the full report:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/19/230
To fix this, we make PF_SPREAD_PAGE and PF_SPREAD_SLAB atomic flags.

1. We were calling clear_flush_young_notify in unmap_one, but we are
within an mmu notifier invalidate range scope. The spte exists no more
(due to range_start) and the accessed bit info has already been
propagated (due to kvm_pfn_set_accessed). Simply call
clear_flush_young.
2. We clear_flush_young on a primary MMU PMD, but this may be mapped
as a collection of PTEs by the secondary MMU (e.g. during log-dirty).
This required expanding the interface of the clear_flush_young mmu
notifier, so a lot of code has been trivially touched.
3. In the absence of shadow_accessed_mask (e.g. EPT A bit), we emulate
the access bit by blowing the spte. This requires proper synchronizing
with MMU notifier consumers, like every other removal of spte's does.

When KVM handles a tdp fault it uses FOLL_NOWAIT. If the guest memory
has been swapped out or is behind a filemap, this will trigger async
readahead and return immediately. The rationale is that KVM will kick
back the guest with an "async page fault" and allow for some other
guest process to take over.
If async PFs are enabled the fault is retried asap from an async
workqueue. If not, it's retried immediately in the same code path. In
either case the retry will not relinquish the mmap semaphore and will
block on the IO. This is a bad thing, as other mmap semaphore users
now stall as a function of swap or filemap latency.
This patch ensures both the regular and async PF path re-enter the
fault allowing for the mmap semaphore to be relinquished in the case
of IO wait.

Sasha Levin has shown oopses on ffffea0003480048 and ffffea0003480008 at
mm/memory.c:1132, running Trinity on different 3.16-rc-next kernels:
where zap_pte_range() checks page->mapping to see if PageAnon(page).
Those addresses fit struct pages for pfns d2001 and d2000, and in each
dump a register or a stack slot showed d2001730 or d2000730: pte flags
0x730 are PCD ACCESSED PROTNONE SPECIAL IOMAP; and Sasha's e820 map has
a hole between cfffffff and 100000000, which would need special access.
Commit c46a7c817e ("x86: define _PAGE_NUMA by reusing software bits on
the PMD and PTE levels") has broken vm_normal_page(): a PROTNONE SPECIAL
pte no longer passes the pte_special() test, so zap_pte_range() goes on
to try to access a non-existent struct page.
Fix this by refining pte_special() (SPECIAL with PRESENT or PROTNONE) to
complement pte_numa() (SPECIAL with neither PRESENT nor PROTNONE). A
hint that this was a problem was that c46a7c817e added pte_numa() test
to vm_normal_page(), and moved its is_zero_pfn() test from slow to fast
path: This was papering over a pte_special() snag when the zero page was
encountered during zap. This patch reverts vm_normal_page() to how it
was before, relying on pte_special().
It still appears that this patch may be incomplete: aren't there other
places which need to be handling PROTNONE along with PRESENT? For
example, pte_mknuma() clears _PAGE_PRESENT and sets _PAGE_NUMA, but on a
PROT_NONE area, that would make it pte_special(). This is side-stepped
by the fact that NUMA hinting faults skipped PROT_NONE VMAs and there
are no grounds where a NUMA hinting fault on a PROT_NONE VMA would be
interesting.

spin_lock may be an empty struct for !SMP configurations and so
arch_spin_is_locked may return unconditional 0 and trigger the VM_BUG_ON
even when the lock is held.
Replace spin_is_locked by lockdep_assert_held. We will not BUG anymore
but it is questionable whether crashing makes a lot of sense in the
uncharge path. Uncharge happens after the last page reference was
released so nobody should touch the page and the function doesn't update
any shared state except for res counter which uses synchronization of
its own.

To avoid potential format string expansion via module parameters, do not
use the zpool type directly in request_module() without a format string.
Additionally, to avoid arbitrary modules being loaded via zpool API
(e.g. via the zswap_zpool_type module parameter) add a "zpool-" prefix
to the requested module, as well as module aliases for the existing
zpool types (zbud and zsmalloc).

In memblock_find_in_range_node(), we defined ret as int. But it should
be phys_addr_t because it is used to store the return value from
__memblock_find_range_bottom_up().
The bug has not been triggered because when allocating low memory near
the kernel end, the "int ret" won't turn out to be negative. When we
started to allocate memory on other nodes, and the "int ret" could be
minus. Then the kernel will panic.
A simple way to reproduce this: comment out the following code in
numa_init(),
memblock_set_bottom_up(false);
and the kernel won't boot.

Many embedded systems will not need these syscalls, and omitting them
saves space. Add a new EXPERT config option CONFIG_ADVISE_SYSCALLS
(default y) to support compiling them out.
