The patchset tries to make mem_cgroup_iter saner in the way how it walks
hierarchies. css->id based traversal is far from being ideal as it is not
deterministic because it depends on the creation ordering. Additional to
that css_id is considered a burden for cgroup maintainers because it is
quite some code and memcg is the last user of it. After this series only
the swap accounting uses css_id but that one will follow up later.
Diffstat (if we exclude removed/added comments) looks quite
promising. We got rid of some code:
$ git diff mmotm... | grep -v "^[+-][[:space:]]*[/ ]\*" | diffstat
b/include/linux/cgroup.h | 3 ---
kernel/cgroup.c | 33 ---------------------------------
mm/memcontrol.c | 4 +++-
3 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 37 deletions(-)
The first patch is just preparatory and it changes when we release css of
the previously returned memcg. Nothing controlversial.
The second patch is the core of the patchset and it replaces css_get_next
based on css_id by the generic cgroup pre-order. This brings some
chalanges for the last visited group caching during the reclaim
(mem_cgroup_per_zone::reclaim_iter). We have to use memcg pointers
directly now which means that we have to keep a reference to those groups'
css to keep them alive.
I also folded iter_lock introduced by https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/3/295
in the previous version into this patch. Johannes felt the race I was
describing should be mostly harmless and I haven't been able to trigger it
so the lock doesn't deserve its own patch. It is still needed
temporarily, though, because the reference counting on iter->last_visited
depends on it. It will go away with the next patch.
The next patch fixups an unbounded cgroup removal holdoff caused by the
elevated css refcount. The issue has been observed by Ying Han. Johannes
wasn't impressed by the previous version of the fix
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/2/8/379) which cleaned up pending references
during mem_cgroup_css_offline when a group is removed. He has suggested a
different way when the iterator checks whether a cached memcg is still
valid or no. More on that in the patch but the basic idea is that every
memcg tracks the number removed subgroups and iterator records this number
when a group is cached. These numbers are checked before
iter->last_visited is about to be used and the iteration is restarted if
it is invalid.
The fourth and fifth patches are an attempt for simplification of the
mem_cgroup_iter. css juggling is removed and the iteration logic is moved
to a helper so that the reference counting and iteration are separated.
The last patch just removes css_get_next as there is no user for it any
longer.
My testing looked as follows:
A (use_hierarchy=1, limit_in_bytes=150M)
/|\
1 2 3
Children groups were created so that the number is never higher than 3 and
their limits were random between 50-100M. Each group hosts a kernel build
(starting with tar -xf so the tree is not shared and make -jNUM_CPUs/3)
and terminated after random time - up to 5 minutes) and then it is
removed.
This should exercise both leaf and hierarchical reclaim as well as races
with cgroup removals and debugging messages I added on top proved that.
100 groups were created during the test.
This patch:
css reference counting keeps the cgroup alive even though it has been
already removed. mem_cgroup_iter relies on this fact and takes a
reference to the returned group. The reference is then released on the
next iteration or mem_cgroup_iter_break. mem_cgroup_iter currently
releases the reference right after it gets the last css_id.
This is correct because neither prev's memcg nor cgroup are accessed after
then. This will change in the next patch so we need to hold the group
alive a bit longer so let's move the css_put at the end of the function.

The original goal of this patchset is to fix the bug reported by
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53501
Now it has also been expanded to reduce common code used by memory
initializion.
This is the second part, which applies to the previous part at:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=136289696323825&w=2
It introduces a helper function free_highmem_page() to free highmem
pages into the buddy system when initializing mm subsystem.
Introduction of free_highmem_page() is one step forward to clean up
accesses and modificaitons of totalhigh_pages, totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages etc. I hope we could remove all references to
totalhigh_pages from the arch/ subdirectory.
We have only tested these patchset on x86 platforms, and have done basic
compliation tests using cross-compilers from ftp.kernel.org. That means
some code may not pass compilation on some architectures. So any help
to test this patchset are welcomed!
There are several other parts still under development:
Part3: refine code to manage totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and
zone->managed_pages
Part4: introduce helper functions to simplify mem_init() and remove the
global variable num_physpages.
This patch:
Introduce helper function free_highmem_page(), which will be used by
architectures with HIGHMEM enabled to free highmem pages into the buddy
system.

The original goal of this patchset is to fix the bug reported by
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53501
Now it has also been expanded to reduce common code used by memory
initializion.
This is the first part, which applies to v3.9-rc1.
It introduces following common helper functions to simplify
free_initmem() and free_initrd_mem() on different architectures:
adjust_managed_page_count():
will be used to adjust totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages,
zone->managed_pages when reserving/unresering a page.
__free_reserved_page():
free a reserved page into the buddy system without adjusting
page statistics info
free_reserved_page():
free a reserved page into the buddy system and adjust page
statistics info
mark_page_reserved():
mark a page as reserved and adjust page statistics info
free_reserved_area():
free a continous ranges of pages by calling free_reserved_page()
free_initmem_default():
default method to free __init pages.
We have only tested these patchset on x86 platforms, and have done basic
compliation tests using cross-compilers from ftp.kernel.org. That means
some code may not pass compilation on some architectures. So any help to
test this patchset are welcomed!
There are several other parts still under development:

Part3: refine code to manage totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and
zone->managed_pages
Part4: introduce helper functions to simplify mem_init() and remove the
global variable num_physpages.
This patch:
Code to deal with reserved/managed pages are duplicated by many
architectures, so introduce common help functions to reduce duplicated
code. These common help functions will also be used to concentrate code
to modify totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages, which makes the code
much more clear.

This came to light when calling memblock allocator from arc port (for
copying flattended DT). If a "0" alignment is passed, the allocator
round_up() call incorrectly rounds up the size to 0.
round_up(num, alignto) => ((num - 1) | (alignto -1)) + 1
While the obvious allocation failure causes kernel to panic, it is better
to warn the caller to fix the code.
Tejun suggested that instead of BUG_ON(!align) - which might be
ineffective due to pending console init and such, it is better to WARN_ON,
and continue the boot with a reasonable default align.
Caller passing @size need not be handled similarly as the subsequent
panic will indicate that anyhow.

On large systems with a lot of memory, walking all RAM to determine page
types may take a half second or even more.
In non-blockable contexts, the page allocator will emit a page allocation
failure warning unless __GFP_NOWARN is specified. In such contexts, irqs
are typically disabled and such a lengthy delay may even result in NMI
watchdog timeouts.
To fix this, suppress the page walk in such contexts when printing the
page allocation failure warning.

Use the events API to trace filemap loading and unloading of file pieces
into the page cache.
This patch aims at tracing the eviction reload cycle of executable and
shared libraries pages in a memory constrained environment.
The typical usage is to spot a specific device and inode (for example
/lib/libc.so) to see the eviction cycles, and find out if frequently
used code is rather spread across many pages (bad) or coallesced (good).

Currently page_action() does not check dirty flag to determine whether
the error page is "clean mlocked/unevictable LRU" page. This doesn't
cause any misjudgement because we do matching against "dirty
mlocked/unevictable LRU" just before the check. But in order to make
code consistent and/or to avoid potential regression, we had better
check dirty flag explicitly.

I think we could just move the full vm_iomap_memory() function into
util.h or similar, but I didn't get any reply from anybody actually
using nommu even to this trivial patch, so I'm not going to touch it any
more than required.
Here's the fairly minimal stub to make the nommu case at least
potentially work. It doesn't seem like anybody cares, though.

With applying the previous patch "hugetlbfs: stop setting VM_DONTDUMP in
initializing vma(VM_HUGETLB)" to reenable hugepage coredump, if a memory
error happens on a hugepage and the affected processes try to access the
error hugepage, we hit VM_BUG_ON(atomic_read(&page->_count) <= 0) in
get_page().
The reason for this bug is that coredump-related code doesn't recognise
"hugepage hwpoison entry" with which a pmd entry is replaced when a memory
error occurs on a hugepage.
In other words, physical address information is stored in different bit
layout between hugepage hwpoison entry and pmd entry, so
follow_hugetlb_page() which is called in get_dump_page() returns a wrong
page from a given address.
The expected behavior is like this:
absent is_swap_pte FOLL_DUMP Expected behavior
-------------------------------------------------------------------
true false false hugetlb_fault
false true false hugetlb_fault
false false false return page
true false true skip page (to avoid allocation)
false true true hugetlb_fault
false false true return page
With this patch, we can call hugetlb_fault() and take proper actions (we
wait for migration entries, fail with VM_FAULT_HWPOISON_LARGE for
hwpoisoned entries,) and as the result we can dump all hugepages except
for hwpoisoned ones.

Various drivers end up replicating the code to mmap() their memory
buffers into user space, and our core memory remapping function may be
very flexible but it is unnecessarily complicated for the common cases
to use.
Our internal VM uses pfn's ("page frame numbers") which simplifies
things for the VM, and allows us to pass physical addresses around in a
denser and more efficient format than passing a "phys_addr_t" around,
and having to shift it up and down by the page size. But it just means
that drivers end up doing that shifting instead at the interface level.
It also means that drivers end up mucking around with internal VM things
like the vma details (vm_pgoff, vm_start/end) way more than they really
need to.
So this just exports a function to map a certain physical memory range
into user space (using a phys_addr_t based interface that is much more
natural for a driver) and hides all the complexity from the driver.
Some drivers will still end up tweaking the vm_page_prot details for
things like prefetching or cacheability etc, but that's actually
relevant to the driver, rather than caring about what the page offset of
the mapping is into the particular IO memory region.

Turn on use_hierarchy by default if sane_behavior is specified and
don't create .use_hierarchy file.
It is debatable whether to remove .use_hierarchy file or make it ro as
the former could make transition easier in certain cases; however, the
behavior changes which will be gated by sane_behavior are intensive
including changing basic meaning of certain control knobs in a few
controllers and I don't really think keeping this piece would make
things easier in any noticeable way, so let's remove it.

This patch attempts to fix:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56461
The symptom is a crash and messages like this:
chrome: Corrupted page table at address 34a03000
*pdpt = 0000000000000000 *pde = 0000000000000000
Bad pagetable: 000f [#1] PREEMPT SMP
Ingo guesses this got introduced by commit 611ae8e3f520 ("x86/tlb:
enable tlb flush range support for x86") since that code started to free
unused pagetables.
On x86-32 PAE kernels, that new code has the potential to free an entire
PMD page and will clear one of the four page-directory-pointer-table
(aka pgd_t entries).
The hardware aggressively "caches" these top-level entries and invlpg
does not actually affect the CPU's copy. If we clear one we *HAVE* to
do a full TLB flush, otherwise we might continue using a freed pmd page.
(note, we do this properly on the population side in pud_populate()).
This patch tracks whenever we clear one of these entries in the 'struct
mmu_gather', and ensures that we follow up with a full tlb flush.
BTW, I disassembled and checked that:
if (tlb->fullmm == 0)
and
if (!tlb->fullmm && !tlb->need_flush_all)
generate essentially the same code, so there should be zero impact there
to the !PAE case.

As cgroup supports rename, it's unsafe to dereference dentry->d_name
without proper vfs locks. Fix this by using cgroup_name() rather than
dentry directly.
Also open code memcg_cache_name because it is called only from
kmem_cache_dup which frees the returned name right after
kmem_cache_create_memcg makes a copy of it. Such a short-lived
allocation doesn't make too much sense. So replace it by a static
buffer as kmem_cache_dup is called with memcg_cache_mutex.

As Steven Rostedt has pointer out: rescheduling could occur on a
different processor after the determination of the per cpu pointer and
before the tid is retrieved. This could result in allocation from the
wrong node in slab_alloc().
The effect is much more severe in slab_free() where we could free to the
freelist of the wrong page.
The window for something like that occurring is pretty small but it is
possible.

The variables accessed in slab_alloc are volatile and therefore
the page pointer passed to node_match can be NULL. The processing
of data in slab_alloc is tentative until either the cmpxhchg
succeeds or the __slab_alloc slowpath is invoked. Both are
able to perform the same allocation from the freelist.
Check for the NULL pointer in node_match.
A false positive will lead to a retry of the loop in __slab_alloc.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq into for-3.10/core
Tejun writes:
-----
This is the pull request for the earlier patchset[1] with the same
name. It's only three patches (the first one was committed to
workqueue tree) but the merge strategy is a bit involved due to the
dependencies.
* Because the conversion needs features from wq/for-3.10,
block/for-3.10/core is based on rc3, and wq/for-3.10 has conflicts
with rc3, I pulled mainline (rc5) into wq/for-3.10 to prevent those
workqueue conflicts from flaring up in block tree.
* Resolving the issue that Jan and Dave raised about debugging
requires arch-wide changes. The patchset is being worked on[2] but
it'll have to go through -mm after these changes show up in -next,
and not included in this pull request.
The three commits are located in the following git branch.
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git writeback-workqueue
Pulling it into block/for-3.10/core produces a conflict in
drivers/md/raid5.c between the following two commits.
e3620a3ad5 ("MD RAID5: Avoid accessing gendisk or queue structs when not available")
2f6db2a707 ("raid5: use bio_reset()")
The conflict is trivial - one removes an "if ()" conditional while the
other removes "rbi->bi_next = NULL" right above it. We just need to
remove both. The merged branch is available at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git block-test-merge
so that you can use it for verification. The test merge commit has
proper merge description.
While these changes are a bit of pain to route, they make code simpler
and even have, while minute, measureable performance gain[3] even on a
workload which isn't particularly favorable to showing the benefits of
this conversion.

Fixed up the conflict.

There is a subtle bug when calculating a number of acquired objects.
Currently, we calculate "available = page->objects - page->inuse",
after acquire_slab() is called in get_partial_node().
In acquire_slab() with mode = 1, we always set new.inuse = page->objects.
So,
acquire_slab(s, n, page, object == NULL);
if (!object) {
c->page = page;
stat(s, ALLOC_FROM_PARTIAL);
object = t;
available = page->objects - page->inuse;
!!! availabe is always 0 !!!
...
Therfore, "available > s->cpu_partial / 2" is always false and
we always go to second iteration.
This patch correct this problem.
After that, we don't need return value of put_cpu_partial().
So remove it.

Writeback implements its own worker pool - each bdi can be associated
with a worker thread which is created and destroyed dynamically. The
worker thread for the default bdi is always present and serves as the
"forker" thread which forks off worker threads for other bdis.
there's no reason for writeback to implement its own worker pool when
using unbound workqueue instead is much simpler and more efficient.
This patch replaces custom worker pool implementation in writeback
with an unbound workqueue.
The conversion isn't too complicated but the followings are worth
mentioning.
* bdi_writeback->last_active, task and wakeup_timer are removed.
delayed_work ->dwork is added instead. Explicit timer handling is
no longer necessary. Everything works by either queueing / modding
/ flushing / canceling the delayed_work item.
* bdi_writeback_thread() becomes bdi_writeback_workfn() which runs off
bdi_writeback->dwork. On each execution, it processes
bdi->work_list and reschedules itself if there are more things to
do.
The function also handles low-mem condition, which used to be
handled by the forker thread. If the function is running off a
rescuer thread, it only writes out limited number of pages so that
the rescuer can serve other bdis too. This preserves the flusher
creation failure behavior of the forker thread.
* INIT_LIST_HEAD(&bdi->bdi_list) is used to tell
bdi_writeback_workfn() about on-going bdi unregistration so that it
always drains work_list even if it's running off the rescuer. Note
that the original code was broken in this regard. Under memory
pressure, a bdi could finish unregistration with non-empty
work_list.
* The default bdi is no longer special. It now is treated the same as
any other bdi and bdi_cap_flush_forker() is removed.
* BDI_pending is no longer used. Removed.
* Some tracepoints become non-applicable. The following TPs are
removed - writeback_nothread, writeback_wake_thread,
writeback_wake_forker_thread, writeback_thread_start,
writeback_thread_stop.
Everything, including devices coming and going away and rescuer
operation under simulated memory pressure, seems to work fine in my
test setup.

programs"
This reverts commit 186930500985 ("mm: introduce VM_POPULATE flag to
better deal with racy userspace programs").
VM_POPULATE only has any effect when userspace plays racy games with
vmas by trying to unmap and remap memory regions that mmap or mlock are
operating on.
Also, the only effect of VM_POPULATE when userspace plays such games is
that it avoids populating new memory regions that get remapped into the
address range that was being operated on by the original mmap or mlock
calls.
Let's remove VM_POPULATE as there isn't any strong argument to mandate a
new vm_flag.

More prep work for immutable bvecs:
A few places in the code were either open coding or using the wrong
version - fix.
After we introduce the bvec iter, it'll no longer be possible to modify
the biovec through bio_for_each_segment_all() - it doesn't increment a
pointer to the current bvec, you pass in a struct bio_vec (not a
pointer) which is updated with what the current biovec would be (taking
into account bi_bvec_done and bi_size).
So because of that it's more worthwhile to be consistent about
bio_for_each_segment()/bio_for_each_segment_all() usage.

__bio_for_each_segment() iterates bvecs from the specified index
instead of bio->bv_idx. Currently, the only usage is to walk all the
bvecs after the bio has been advanced by specifying 0 index.
For immutable bvecs, we need to split these apart;
bio_for_each_segment() is going to have a different implementation.
This will also help document the intent of code that's using it -
bio_for_each_segment_all() is only legal to use for code that owns the
bio.

A bunch of what __blk_queue_bounce() was doing was problematic for the
immutable bvec work; this cleans that up and the code is quite a bit
smaller, too.
The __bio_for_each_segment() in copy_to_high_bio_irq() was changed
because that one's looping over the original bio, not the bounce bio -
a later patch renames __bio_for_each_segment() ->
bio_for_each_segment_all(), and documents that
bio_for_each_segment_all() is only for code that owns the bio.

accouting
hugetlb_total_pages is used for overcommit calculations but the current
implementation considers only the default hugetlb page size (which is
either the first defined hugepage size or the one specified by
default_hugepagesz kernel boot parameter).
If the system is configured for more than one hugepage size, which is
possible since commit a137e1cc6d6e ("hugetlbfs: per mount huge page
sizes") then the overcommit estimation done by __vm_enough_memory()
(resp. shown by meminfo_proc_show) is not precise - there is an
impression of more available/allowed memory. This can lead to an
unexpected ENOMEM/EFAULT resp. SIGSEGV when memory is accounted.
Testcase:
boot: hugepagesz=1G hugepages=1
the default overcommit ratio is 50
before patch:
egrep 'CommitLimit' /proc/meminfo
CommitLimit: 55434168 kB

The vm_flags introduced in 6d7825b10dbe ("mm/fremap.c: fix oops on error
path") is supposed to avoid a compiler warning about unitialized
vm_flags without changing the generated code.
However I am concerned that this is going to be very brittle, and fail
with some compiler versions. The failure could be either of:
- compiler could actually load vma->vm_flags before checking for the
!vma condition, thus reintroducing the oops
- compiler could optimize out the !vma check, since the pointer just got
dereferenced shortly before (so the compiler knows it can't be NULL!)
I propose reversing this part of the change and initializing vm_flags to 0
just to avoid the bogus uninitialized use warning.

If find_vma() fails, sys_remap_file_pages() will dereference `vma', which
contains NULL. Fix it by checking the pointer.
(We could alternatively check for err==0, but this seems more direct)
(The vm_flags change is to squish a bogus used-uninitialised warning
without adding extra code).

security keys
Looking at mm/process_vm_access.c:process_vm_rw() and comparing it to
compat_process_vm_rw() shows that the compatibility code requires an
explicit "access_ok()" check before calling
compat_rw_copy_check_uvector(). The same difference seems to appear when
we compare fs/read_write.c:do_readv_writev() to
fs/compat.c:compat_do_readv_writev().
This subtle difference between the compat and non-compat requirements
should probably be debated, as it seems to be error-prone. In fact,
there are two others sites that use this function in the Linux kernel,
and they both seem to get it wrong:
Now shifting our attention to fs/aio.c, we see that aio_setup_iocb()
also ends up calling compat_rw_copy_check_uvector() through
aio_setup_vectored_rw(). Unfortunately, the access_ok() check appears to
be missing. Same situation for
security/keys/compat.c:compat_keyctl_instantiate_key_iov().
I propose that we add the access_ok() check directly into
compat_rw_copy_check_uvector(), so callers don't have to worry about it,
and it therefore makes the compat call code similar to its non-compat
counterpart. Place the access_ok() check in the same location where
copy_from_user() can trigger a -EFAULT error in the non-compat code, so
the ABI behaviors are alike on both compat and non-compat.
While we are here, fix compat_do_readv_writev() so it checks for
compat_rw_copy_check_uvector() negative return values.
And also, fix a memory leak in compat_keyctl_instantiate_key_iov() error
handling.
