f1c54846ee zswap: dynamic pool creation
Add dynamic creation of pools.  Move the static crypto compression per-cpu
transforms into each pool.  Add a pointer to zswap_entry to the pool it's
in.

This is required by the following patch which enables changing the zswap
zpool and compressor params at runtime.

3f0e131221 zpool: add zpool_has_pool()
This series makes creation of the zpool and compressor dynamic, so that
they can be changed at runtime.  This makes using/configuring zswap
easier, as before this zswap had to be configured at boot time, using boot
params.

This uses a single list to track both the zpool and compressor together,
although Seth had mentioned an alternative which is to track the zpools
and compressors using separate lists.  In the most common case, only a
single zpool and single compressor, using one list is slightly simpler
than using two lists, and for the uncommon case of multiple zpools and/or
compressors, using one list is slightly less simple (and uses slightly
more memory, probably) than using two lists.

This patch (of 4):

Add zpool_has_pool() function, indicating if the specified type of zpool
is available (i.e.  zsmalloc or zbud).  This allows checking if a pool is
available, without actually trying to allocate it, similar to
crypto_has_alg().

This is used by a following patch to zswap that enables the dynamic
runtime creation of zswap zpools.

5b999aadba mm: swap: zswap: maybe_preload & refactoring
zswap_get_swap_cache_page and read_swap_cache_async have pretty much the
same code with only significant difference in return value and usage of
swap_readpage.

I a helper __read_swap_cache_async() with the common code.  Behavior
change: now zswap_get_swap_cache_page will use radix_tree_maybe_preload
instead radix_tree_preload.  Looks like, this wasn't changed only by the
reason of code duplication.

b3e237f1f5 zsmalloc: do not take class lock in zs_shrinker_count()
We can avoid taking class ->lock around zs_can_compact() in
zs_shrinker_count(), because the number that we return back is outdated
in general case, by design.  We have different sources that are able to
change class's state right after we return from zs_can_compact() --
ongoing I/O operations, manually triggered compaction, or two of them
happening simultaneously.

We re-do this calculations during compaction on a per class basis
anyway.

zs_unregister_shrinker() will not return until we have an active
shrinker, so classes won't unexpectedly disappear while
zs_shrinker_count() iterates them.

58f1711746 zsmalloc: partial page ordering within a fullness_list
We want to see more ZS_FULL pages and less ZS_ALMOST_{FULL, EMPTY}
pages.  Put a page with higher ->inuse count first within its
->fullness_list, which will give us better chances to fill up this page
with new objects (find_get_zspage() return ->fullness_list head for new
object allocation), so some zspages will become ZS_ALMOST_FULL/ZS_FULL
quicker.

It performs a trivial and cheap ->inuse compare which does not slow down
zsmalloc and in the worst case keeps the list pages in no particular
order.

A more expensive solution could sort fullness_list by ->inuse count.

ab9d306d9c zsmalloc: use shrinker to trigger auto-compaction
Perform automatic pool compaction by a shrinker when system is getting
tight on memory.

User-space has a very little knowledge regarding zsmalloc fragmentation
and basically has no mechanism to tell whether compaction will result in
any memory gain.  Another issue is that user space is not always aware
of the fact that system is getting tight on memory.  Which leads to very
uncomfortable scenarios when user space may start issuing compaction
'randomly' or from crontab (for example).  Fragmentation is not always
necessarily bad, allocated and unused objects, after all, may be filled
with the data later, w/o the need of allocating a new zspage.  On the
other hand, we obviously don't want to waste memory when the system
needs it.

Compaction now has a relatively quick pool scan so we are able to
estimate the number of pages that will be freed easily, which makes it
possible to call this function from a shrinker->count_objects()
callback.  We also abort compaction as soon as we detect that we can't
free any pages any more, preventing wasteful objects migrations.

860c707dca zsmalloc: account the number of compacted pages
Compaction returns back to zram the number of migrated objects, which is
quite uninformative -- we have objects of different sizes so user space
cannot obtain any valuable data from that number.  Change compaction to
operate in terms of pages and return back to compaction issuer the
number of pages that were freed during compaction.  So from now on we
will export more meaningful value in zram<id>/mm_stat -- the number of
freed (compacted) pages.

This requires:
 (a) a rename of `num_migrated' to 'pages_compacted'
 (b) a internal API change -- return first_page's fullness_group from
     putback_zspage(), so we know when putback_zspage() did
     free_zspage().  It helps us to account compaction stats correctly.

7d3f393823 zsmalloc/zram: introduce zs_pool_stats api
`zs_compact_control' accounts the number of migrated objects but it has
a limited lifespan -- we lose it as soon as zs_compaction() returns back
to zram.  It worked fine, because (a) zram had it's own counter of
migrated objects and (b) only zram could trigger compaction.  However,
this does not work for automatic pool compaction (not issued by zram).
To account objects migrated during auto-compaction (issued by the
shrinker) we need to store this number in zs_pool.

Define a new `struct zs_pool_stats' structure to keep zs_pool's stats
there.  It provides only `num_migrated', as of this writing, but it
surely can be extended.

A new zsmalloc zs_pool_stats() symbol exports zs_pool's stats back to
caller.

Use zs_pool_stats() in zram and remove `num_migrated' from zram_stats.

Every "compaction is useless" indicates that we saved CPU cycles.

Even if we have a ALMOST_EMPTY zspage, we still don't have enough room to
migrate all of its objects and free this zspage; so compaction will not
make a lot of sense, it's better to just leave it as is.

5724459419 zsmalloc: always keep per-class stats
Always account per-class `zs_size_stat' stats.  This data will help us
make better decisions during compaction.  We are especially interested
in OBJ_ALLOCATED and OBJ_USED, which can tell us if class compaction
will result in any memory gain.

For instance, we know the number of allocated objects in the class, the
number of objects being used (so we also know how many objects are not
used) and the number of objects per-page.  So we can ensure if we have
enough unused objects to form at least one ZS_EMPTY zspage during
compaction.

We calculate this value on per-class basis so we can calculate a total
number of zspages that can be released.  Which is exactly what a
shrinker wants to know.

b430d1fd6c zsmalloc: drop unused variable `nr_to_migrate'
This patchset tweaks compaction and makes it possible to trigger pool
compaction automatically when system is getting low on memory.

zsmalloc in some cases can suffer from a notable fragmentation and
compaction can release some considerable amount of memory.  The problem
here is that currently we fully rely on user space to perform compaction
when needed.  However, performing zsmalloc compaction is not always an
obvious thing to do.  For example, suppose we have a `idle' fragmented
(compaction was never performed) zram device and system is getting low
on memory due to some 3rd party user processes (gcc LTO, or firefox,
etc.).  It's quite unlikely that user space will issue zpool compaction
in this case.  Besides, user space cannot tell for sure how badly pool
is fragmented; however, this info is known to zsmalloc and, hence, to a
shrinker.

This patch (of 7):

__zs_compact() does not use `nr_to_migrate', drop it.

bde43c6c9f mm/khugepaged: allow interruption of allocation sleep again
Commit 1dfb059b94 ("thp: reduce khugepaged freezing latency") fixed
khugepaged to do not block a system suspend.  But the result is that it
could not get interrupted before the given timeout because the condition
for the wait event is "false".

This patch puts back the original approach but it uses
freezable_schedule_timeout_interruptible() instead of
schedule_timeout_interruptible().  It does the right thing.  I am pretty
sure that the freezable variant was not used in the original fix only
because it was not available at that time.

The regression has been there for ages.  It was not critical.  It just
did the allocation throttling a little bit more aggressively.

I found this problem when converting the kthread to kthread worker API
and trying to understand the code.

This bug is thought to have minimal userspace-visible impact.  Somebody
could set a high alloc_sleep value by mistake, and then try to fix it
back, but khugepaged would keep sleeping until the high value expires.

1a16718cf7 mm/compaction: correct to flush migrated pages if pageblock skip happens
We cache isolate_start_pfn before entering isolate_migratepages().  If
pageblock is skipped in isolate_migratepages() due to whatever reason,
cc->migrate_pfn can be far from isolate_start_pfn hence we flush pages
that were freed.  For example, the following scenario can be possible:

- assume order-9 compaction, pageblock order is 9
- start_isolate_pfn is 0x200
- isolate_migratepages()
  - skip a number of pageblocks
  - start to isolate from pfn 0x600
  - cc->migrate_pfn = 0x620
  - return
- last_migrated_pfn is set to 0x200
- check flushing condition
  - current_block_start is set to 0x600
  - last_migrated_pfn < current_block_start then do useless flush

This wrong flush would not help the performance and success rate so this
patch tries to fix it.  One simple way to know the exact position where
we start to isolate migratable pages is that we cache it in
isolate_migratepages() before entering actual isolation.  This patch
implements that and fixes the problem.

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.

44a30220bc shmem: recalculate file inode when fstat
Shmem uses shmem_recalc_inode to update i_blocks when it allocates page,
undoes range or swaps.  But mm can drop clean page without notifying
shmem.  This makes fstat sometimes return out-of-date block size.

The problem can be partially solved when we add
inode_operations->getattr which calls shmem_recalc_inode to update
i_blocks for fstat.

shmem_recalc_inode also updates counter used by statfs and
vm_committed_as.  For them the situation is not changed.  They still
suffer from the discrepancy after dropping clean page and before the
function is called by aforementioned triggers.

230ac719c5 mm/hwpoison: don't try to unpoison containment-failed pages
memory_failure() can be called at any page at any time, which means that
we can't eliminate the possibility of containment failure.  In such case
the best option is to leak the page intentionally (and never touch it
later.)

We have an unpoison function for testing, and it cannot handle such
containment-failed pages, which results in kernel panic (visible with
various calltraces.) So this patch suggests that we limit the
unpoisonable pages to properly contained pages and ignore any other
ones.

Testers are recommended to keep in mind that there're un-unpoisonable
pages when writing test programs.

  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.

6b0f68e32e mm: add utility for early copy from unmapped ram
When booting an arm64 kernel w/initrd using UEFI/grub, use of mem= will
likely cut off part or all of the initrd.  This leaves it outside the
kernel linear map which leads to failure when unpacking.  The x86 code
has a similar need to relocate an initrd outside of mapped memory in
some cases.

The current x86 code uses early_memremap() to copy the original initrd
from unmapped to mapped RAM.  This patchset creates a generic
copy_from_early_mem() utility based on that x86 code and has arm64 and
x86 share it in their respective initrd relocation code.

This patch (of 3):

In some early boot circumstances, it may be necessary to copy from RAM
outside the kernel linear mapping to mapped RAM.  The need to relocate
an initrd is one example in the x86 code.  This patch creates a helper
function based on current x86 code.

9fcd6d2e05 mm, compaction: skip compound pages by order in free scanner
The compaction free scanner is looking for PageBuddy() pages and
skipping all others.  For large compound pages such as THP or hugetlbfs,
we can save a lot of iterations if we skip them at once using their
compound_order().  This is generally unsafe and we can read a bogus
value of order due to a race, but if we are careful, the only danger is
skipping too much.

When tested with stress-highalloc from mmtests on 4GB system with 1GB
hugetlbfs pages, the vmstat compact_free_scanned count decreased by at
least 15%.

29c0dde830 mm, compaction: always skip all compound pages by order in migrate scanner
The compaction migrate scanner tries to skip THP pages by their order,
to reduce number of iterations for pages it cannot isolate.  The check
is only done if PageLRU() is true, which means it applies to THP pages,
but not e.g.  hugetlbfs pages or any other non-LRU compound pages, which
we have to iterate by base pages.

This limitation comes from the assumption that it's only safe to read
compound_order() when we have the zone's lru_lock and THP cannot be
split under us.  But the only danger (after filtering out order values
that are not below MAX_ORDER, to prevent overflows) is that we skip too
much or too little after reading a bogus compound_order() due to a rare
race.  This is the same reasoning as patch 99c0fd5e51 ("mm,
compaction: skip buddy pages by their order in the migrate scanner")
introduced for unsafely reading PageBuddy() order.

After this patch, all pages are tested for PageCompound() and we skip
them by compound_order().  The test is done after the test for
balloon_page_movable() as we don't want to assume if balloon pages (or
other pages with own isolation and migration implementation if a generic
API gets implemented) are compound or not.

When tested with stress-highalloc from mmtests on 4GB system with 1GB
hugetlbfs pages, the vmstat compact_migrate_scanned count decreased by
15%.

02333641e2 mm, compaction: encapsulate resetting cached scanner positions
Reseting the cached compaction scanner positions is now open-coded in
__reset_isolation_suitable() and compact_finished().  Encapsulate the
functionality in a new function reset_cached_positions().

f5f61a320b mm, compaction: simplify handling restart position in free pages scanner
Handling the position where compaction free scanner should restart
(stored in cc->free_pfn) got more complex with commit e14c720efd ("mm,
compaction: remember position within pageblock in free pages scanner").
Currently the position is updated in each loop iteration of
isolate_freepages(), although it should be enough to update it only when
breaking from the loop.  There's also an extra check outside the loop
updates the position in case we have met the migration scanner.

This can be simplified if we move the test for having isolated enough
from the for-loop header next to the test for contention, and
determining the restart position only in these cases.  We can reuse the
isolate_start_pfn variable for this instead of setting cc->free_pfn
directly.  Outside the loop, we can simply set cc->free_pfn to current
value of isolate_start_pfn without any extra check.

Also add a VM_BUG_ON to catch possible mistake in the future, in case we
later add a new condition that terminates isolate_freepages_block()
prematurely without also considering the condition in
isolate_freepages().

f2849aa09d mm, compaction: more robust check for scanners meeting
Assorted compaction cleanups and optimizations.  The interesting patches
are 4 and 5.  In 4, skipping of compound pages in single iteration is
improved for migration scanner, so it works also for !PageLRU compound
pages such as hugetlbfs, slab etc.  Patch 5 introduces this kind of
skipping in the free scanner.  The trick is that we can read
compound_order() without any protection, if we are careful to filter out
values larger than MAX_ORDER.  The only danger is that we skip too much.
The same trick was already used for reading the freepage order in the
migrate scanner.

To demonstrate improvements of Patches 4 and 5 I've run stress-highalloc
from mmtests, set to simulate THP allocations (including __GFP_COMP) on
a 4GB system where 1GB was occupied by hugetlbfs pages.  I'll include
just the relevant stats:

                               Patch 3     Patch 4     Patch 5

Compaction stalls                 7523        7529        7515
Compaction success                 323         304         322
Compaction failures               7200        7224        7192
Page migrate success            247778      264395      240737
Page migrate failure             15358       33184       21621
Compaction pages isolated       906928      980192      909983
Compaction migrate scanned     2005277     1692805     1498800
Compaction free scanned       13255284    11539986     9011276
Compaction cost                    288         305         277

With 5 iterations per patch, the results are still noisy, but we can see
that Patch 4 does reduce migrate_scanned by 15% thanks to skipping the
hugetlbfs pages at once.  Interestingly, free_scanned is also reduced
and I have no idea why.  Patch 5 further reduces free_scanned as
expected, by 15%.  Other stats are unaffected modulo noise.

This patch (of 5):

Compaction should finish when the migration and free scanner meet, i.e.
they reach the same pageblock.  Currently however, the test in
compact_finished() simply just compares the exact pfns, which may yield
a false negative when the free scanner position is in the middle of a
pageblock and the migration scanner reaches the begining of the same
pageblock.

This hasn't been a problem until commit e14c720efd ("mm, compaction:
remember position within pageblock in free pages scanner") allowed the
free scanner position to be in the middle of a pageblock between
invocations.  The hot-fix 1d5bfe1ffb ("mm, compaction: prevent
infinite loop in compact_zone") prevented the issue by adding a special
check in the migration scanner to satisfy the current detection of
scanners meeting.

However, the proper fix is to make the detection more robust.  This
patch introduces the compact_scanners_met() function that returns true
when the free scanner position is in the same or lower pageblock than
the migration scanner.  The special case in isolate_migratepages()
introduced by 1d5bfe1ffb is removed.

fa23f56d90 mm: add support for __GFP_ZERO flag to dma_pool_alloc()
Currently a call to dma_pool_alloc() with a ___GFP_ZERO flag returns a
non-zeroed memory region.

This patchset adds support for the __GFP_ZERO flag to dma_pool_alloc(),
adds 2 wrapper functions for allocing zeroed memory from a pool, and
provides a coccinelle script for finding & replacing instances of
dma_pool_alloc() followed by memset(0) with a single dma_pool_zalloc()
call.

There was some concern that this always calls memset() to zero, instead
of passing __GFP_ZERO into the page allocator.
[https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/15/881]

I ran a test on my system to get an idea of how often dma_pool_alloc()
calls into pool_alloc_page().

After Boot:	[   30.119863] alloc_calls:541, page_allocs:7
After an hour:	[ 3600.951031] alloc_calls:9566, page_allocs:12
After copying 1GB file onto a USB drive:
		[ 4260.657148] alloc_calls:17225, page_allocs:12

It doesn't look like dma_pool_alloc() calls down to the page allocator
very often (at least on my system).

This patch (of 4):

Currently the __GFP_ZERO flag is ignored by dma_pool_alloc().
Make dma_pool_alloc() zero the memory if this flag is set.
