When I was reading nommu code, I found that it handles the vma list/tree
in an unusual way. IIUC, because there can be more than one
identical/overrapped vmas in the list/tree, it sorts the tree more
strictly and does a linear search on the tree. But it doesn't applied to
the list (i.e. the list could be constructed in a different order than
the tree so that we can't use the list when finding the first vma in that
order).
Since inserting/sorting a vma in the tree and link is done at the same
time, we can easily construct both of them in the same order. And linear
searching on the tree could be more costly than doing it on the list, it
can be converted to use the list.
Also, after the commit 297c5eee3724 ("mm: make the vma list be doubly
linked") made the list be doubly linked, there were a couple of code need
to be fixed to construct the list properly.
Patch 1/6 is a preparation. It maintains the list sorted same as the tree
and construct doubly-linked list properly. Patch 2/6 is a simple
optimization for the vma deletion. Patch 3/6 and 4/6 convert tree
traversal to list traversal and the rest are simple fixes and cleanups.
This patch:
@vma added into @mm should be sorted by start addr, end addr and VMA
struct addr in that order because we may get identical VMAs in the @mm.
However this was true only for the rbtree, not for the list.
This patch fixes this by remembering 'rb_prev' during the tree traversal
like find_vma_prepare() does and linking the @vma via __vma_link_list().
After this patch, we can iterate the whole VMAs in correct order simply by
using @mm->mmap list.

Avoid merging a VMA with another VMA which is cloned from the parent process.
The cloned VMA shares the anon_vma lock with the parent process's VMA. If
we do the merge, more vmas (even the new range is only for current
process) use the perent process's anon_vma lock. This introduces
scalability issues. find_mergeable_anon_vma() already considers this
case.

If we only change vma->vm_end, we can avoid taking anon_vma lock even if
'insert' isn't NULL, which is the case of split_vma.
As I understand it, we need the lock before because rmap must get the
'insert' VMA when we adjust old VMA's vm_end (the 'insert' VMA is linked
to anon_vma list in __insert_vm_struct before).
But now this isn't true any more. The 'insert' VMA is already linked to
anon_vma list in __split_vma(with anon_vma_clone()) instead of
__insert_vm_struct. There is no race rmap can't get required VMAs. So
the anon_vma lock is unnecessary, and this can reduce one locking in brk
case and improve scalability.

Architectures that implement their own show_mem() function did not pass
the filter argument to show_free_areas() to appropriately avoid emitting
the state of nodes that are disallowed in the current context. This patch
now passes the filter argument to show_free_areas() so those nodes are now
avoided.
This patch also removes the show_free_areas() wrapper around
__show_free_areas() and converts existing callers to pass an empty filter.
ia64 emits additional information for each node, so skip_free_areas_zone()
must be made global to filter disallowed nodes and it is converted to use
a nid argument rather than a zone for this use case.

It has been reported on some laptops that kswapd is consuming large
amounts of CPU and not being scheduled when SLUB is enabled during large
amounts of file copying. It is expected that this is due to kswapd
missing every cond_resched() point because;
shrink_page_list() calls cond_resched() if inactive pages were isolated
which in turn may not happen if all_unreclaimable is set in
shrink_zones(). If for whatver reason, all_unreclaimable is
set on all zones, we can miss calling cond_resched().
balance_pgdat() only calls cond_resched if the zones are not
balanced. For a high-order allocation that is balanced, it
checks order-0 again. During that window, order-0 might have
become unbalanced so it loops again for order-0 and returns
that it was reclaiming for order-0 to kswapd(). It can then
find that a caller has rewoken kswapd for a high-order and
re-enters balance_pgdat() without ever calling cond_resched().
shrink_slab only calls cond_resched() if we are reclaiming slab
pages. If there are a large number of direct reclaimers, the
shrinker_rwsem can be contended and prevent kswapd calling
cond_resched().
This patch modifies the shrink_slab() case. If the semaphore is
contended, the caller will still check cond_resched(). After each
successful call into a shrinker, the check for cond_resched() remains in
case one shrinker is particularly slow.

There are a few reports of people experiencing hangs when copying large
amounts of data with kswapd using a large amount of CPU which appear to be
due to recent reclaim changes. SLUB using high orders is the trigger but
not the root cause as SLUB has been using high orders for a while. The
root cause was bugs introduced into reclaim which are addressed by the
following two patches.
Patch 1 corrects logic introduced by commit 1741c877 ("mm: kswapd:
keep kswapd awake for high-order allocations until a percentage of
the node is balanced") to allow kswapd to go to sleep when
balanced for high orders.
Patch 2 notes that it is possible for kswapd to miss every
cond_resched() and updates shrink_slab() so it'll at least reach
that scheduling point.
Chris Wood reports that these two patches in isolation are sufficient to
prevent the system hanging. AFAIK, they should also resolve similar hangs
experienced by James Bottomley.
This patch:
Johannes Weiner poined out that the logic in commit 1741c877 ("mm: kswapd:
keep kswapd awake for high-order allocations until a percentage of the
node is balanced") is backwards. Instead of allowing kswapd to go to
sleep when balancing for high order allocations, it keeps it kswapd
running uselessly.

Commit 442b06bcea23 ("slub: Remove node check in slab_free") added a
call to deactivate_slab() in the debug case in __slab_alloc(), which
unlocks the current slab used for allocation. Going to the label
'unlock_out' then does it again.
Also, in the debug case we do not need all the other processing that the
'unlock_out' path does. We always fall back to the slow path in the
debug case. So the tid update is useless.
Similarly, ALLOC_SLOWPATH would just be incremented for all allocations.
Also a pretty useless thing.
So simply restore irq flags and return the object.

The page_clear_dirty primitive always sets the default storage key
which resets the access control bits and the fetch protection bit.
That will surprise a KVM guest that sets non-zero access control
bits or the fetch protection bit. Merge page_test_dirty and
page_clear_dirty back to a single function and only clear the
dirty bit from the storage key.
In addition move the function page_test_and_clear_dirty and
page_test_and_clear_young to page.h where they belong. This
requires to change the parameter from a struct page * to a page
frame number.

We can set the page pointing in the percpu structure to
NULL to have the same effect as setting c->node to NUMA_NO_NODE.
Gets rid of one check in slab_free() that was only used for
forcing the slab_free to the slowpath for debugging.
We still need to set c->node to NUMA_NO_NODE to force the
slab_alloc() fastpath to the slowpath in case of debugging.

obscure header file dependency.
So this fixes things up a bit, using
grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')
to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h>
inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.
There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets

Jumping to a label inside a conditional is considered poor style,
especially considering the current organization of __slab_alloc().
This removes the 'load_from_page' label and just duplicates the three
lines of code that it uses:
c->node = page_to_nid(page);
c->page = page;
goto load_freelist;
since it's probably not worth making this a separate helper function.

Shame on me! Commit b1dea800ac39 "tmpfs: fix race between umount and
writepage" fixed the advertized race, but introduced another: as even
its comment makes clear, we cannot safely rely on a peek at list_empty()
while holding no lock - until info->swapped is set, shmem_unuse_inode()
may delete any formerly-swapped inode from the shmem_swaplist, which
in this case would leave a swap area impossible to swapoff.
Although I don't relish taking the mutex every time, I don't care much
for the alternatives either; and at least the peek at list_empty() in
shmem_evict_inode() (a hotter path since most inodes would never have
been swapped) remains safe, because we already truncated the whole file.

Testing the shmem_swaplist replacements for igrab() revealed another bug:
writes to /dev/loop0 on a tmpfs file which fills its filesystem were
sometimes failing with "Buffer I/O error"s.
These came from ENOSPC failures of shmem_getpage(), when racing with
swapoff: the same could happen when racing with another shmem_getpage(),
pulling the page in from swap in between our find_lock_page() and our
taking the info->lock (though not in the single-threaded loop case).
This is unacceptable, and surprising that I've not noticed it before:
it dates back many years, but (presumably) was made a lot easier to
reproduce in 2.6.36, which sited a page preallocation in the race window.
Fix it by rechecking the page cache before settling on an ENOSPC error.

The use of igrab() in swapoff's shmem_unuse_inode() is just as vulnerable
to umount as that in shmem_writepage().
Fix this instance by extending the protection of shmem_swaplist_mutex
right across shmem_unuse_inode(): while it's on the list, the inode cannot
be evicted (and the filesystem cannot be unmounted) without
shmem_evict_inode() taking that mutex to remove it from the list.
But since shmem_writepage() might take that mutex, we should avoid making
memory allocations or memcg charges while holding it: prepare them at the
outer level in shmem_unuse(). When mem_cgroup_cache_charge() was
originally placed, we didn't know until that point that the page from swap
was actually a shmem page; but nowadays it's noted in the swap_map, so
we're safe to charge upfront. For the radix_tree, do as is done in
shmem_getpage(): preload upfront, but don't pin to the cpu; so we make a
habit of refreshing the node pool, but might dip into GFP_NOWAIT reserves
on occasion if subsequently preempted.
With the allocation and charge moved out from shmem_unuse_inode(),
we can also hold index map and info->lock over from finding the entry.

inode from concurrent eviction by deletion, but it does nothing to protect
it from concurrent unmounting, which goes ahead despite the raised
i_count.
So this use of igrab() was wrong all along, but the race made much worse
in 2.6.37 when commit 63997e98a3be "split invalidate_inodes()" replaced
two attempts at invalidate_inodes() by a single evict_inodes().
Konstantin posted a plausible patch, raising sb->s_active too: I'm unsure
whether it was correct or not; but burnt once by igrab(), I am sure that
we don't want to rely more deeply upon externals here.
Fix it by adding the inode to shmem_swaplist earlier, while the page lock
on page in page cache still secures the inode against eviction, without
artifically raising i_count. It was originally added later because
shmem_unuse_inode() is liable to remove an inode from the list while it's
unswapped; but we can guard against that by taking spinlock before
dropping mutex.

Commit dde79e005a769 ("page_cgroup: reduce allocation overhead for
page_cgroup array for CONFIG_SPARSEMEM") added a regression that the
memory cgroup data structures all end up in node 0 because the first
attempt at allocating them would not pass in a node hint. Since the
initialization runs on CPU #0 it would all end up node 0. This is a
problem on large memory systems, where node 0 would lose a lot of
memory.
Change the alloc_pages_exact() to alloc_pages_exact_nid(). This will
still fall back to other nodes if not enough memory is available.
[ RED-PEN: right now it would fall back first before trying
vmalloc_node. Probably not the best strategy ... But I left it like
that for now. ]

Linux kernel excludes guard page when performing mlock on a VMA with
down-growing stack. However, some architectures have up-growing stack
and locking the guard page should be excluded in this case too.
This patch fixes lvm2 on PA-RISC (and possibly other architectures with
up-growing stack). lvm2 calculates number of used pages when locking and
when unlocking and reports an internal error if the numbers mismatch.
[ Patch changed fairly extensively to also fix /proc/<pid>/maps for the
grows-up case, and to move things around a bit to clean it all up and
share the infrstructure with the /proc bits.

Remove the #ifdefs. This means that the irqsafe_cpu_cmpxchg_double() is used
everywhere.
There may be performance implications since:
A. We now have to manage a transaction ID for all arches
B. The interrupt holdoff for arches not supporting CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL is reduced
to a very short irqoff section.
There are no multiple irqoff/irqon sequences as a result of this change. Even in the fallback
case we only have to do one disable and enable like before.

The logic in __get_user_pages() used to skip the stack guard page lookup
whenever the caller wasn't interested in seeing what the actual page
was. But Michel Lespinasse points out that there are cases where we
don't care about the physical page itself (so 'pages' may be NULL), but
do want to make sure a page is mapped into the virtual address space.
So using the existence of the "pages" array as an indication of whether
to look up the guard page or not isn't actually so great, and we really
should just use the FOLL_MLOCK bit. But because that bit was only set
for the VM_LOCKED case (and not all vma's necessarily have it, even for
mlock()), we couldn't do that originally.
Fix that by moving the VM_LOCKED check deeper into the call-chain, which
actually simplifies many things. Now mlock() gets simpler, and we can
also check for FOLL_MLOCK in __get_user_pages() and the code ends up
much more straightforward.

The SLUB allocator use of the cmpxchg_double logic was wrong: it
actually needs the irq-safe one.
That happens automatically when we use the native unlocked 'cmpxchg8b'
instruction, but when compiling the kernel for older x86 CPUs that do
not support that instruction, we fall back to the generic emulation
code.
And if you don't specify that you want the irq-safe version, the generic
code ends up just open-coding the cmpxchg8b equivalent without any
protection against interrupts or preemption. Which definitely doesn't
work for SLUB.
This was reported by Werner Landgraf <w.landgraf@ru.ru>, who saw
instability with his distro-kernel that was compiled to support pretty
much everything under the sun. Most big Linux distributions tend to
compile for PPro and later, and would never have noticed this problem.
This also fixes the prototypes for the irqsafe cmpxchg_double functions
to use 'bool' like they should.
[ Btw, that whole "generic code defaults to no protection" design just
sounds stupid - if the code needs no protection, there is no reason to
use "cmpxchg_double" to begin with. So we should probably just remove
the unprotected version entirely as pointless. - Linus ]

With transparent hugepage support, handle_mm_fault() has to be careful
that a normal PMD has been established before handling a PTE fault. To
achieve this, it used __pte_alloc() directly instead of pte_alloc_map as
pte_alloc_map is unsafe to run against a huge PMD. pte_offset_map() is
called once it is known the PMD is safe.
pte_alloc_map() is smart enough to check if a PTE is already present
before calling __pte_alloc but this check was lost. As a consequence,
PTEs may be allocated unnecessarily and the page table lock taken. Thi
useless PTE does get cleaned up but it's a performance hit which is
visible in page_test from aim9.
This patch simply re-adds the check normally done by pte_alloc_map to
check if the PTE needs to be allocated before taking the page table lock.
The effect is noticable in page_test from aim9.

The huge_memory.c THP page fault was allowed to run if vm_ops was null
(which would succeed for /dev/zero MAP_PRIVATE, as the f_op->mmap wouldn't
setup a special vma->vm_ops and it would fallback to regular anonymous
memory) but other THP logics weren't fully activated for vmas with vm_file
not NULL (/dev/zero has a not NULL vma->vm_file).
So this removes the vm_file checks so that /dev/zero also can safely use
THP (the other albeit safer approach to fix this bug would have been to
prevent the THP initial page fault to run if vm_file was set).
After removing the vm_file checks, this also makes huge_memory.c stricter
in khugepaged for the DEBUG_VM=y case. It doesn't replace the vm_file
check with a is_pfn_mapping check (but it keeps checking for VM_PFNMAP
under VM_BUG_ON) because for a is_cow_mapping() mapping VM_PFNMAP should
only be allowed to exist before the first page fault, and in turn when
vma->anon_vma is null (so preventing khugepaged registration). So I tend
to think the previous comment saying if vm_file was set, VM_PFNMAP might
have been set and we could still be registered in khugepaged (despite
anon_vma was not NULL to be registered in khugepaged) was too paranoid.
The is_linear_pfn_mapping check is also I think superfluous (as described
by comment) but under DEBUG_VM it is safe to stay.

This is an almost-revert of commit 93b43fa ("oom: give the dying task a
higher priority").
That commit dramatically improved oom killer logic when a fork-bomb
occurs. But I've found that it has nasty corner case. Now cpu cgroup has
strange default RT runtime. It's 0! That said, if a process under cpu
cgroup promote RT scheduling class, the process never run at all.
If an admin inserts a !RT process into a cpu cgroup by setting
rtruntime=0, usually it runs perfectly because a !RT task isn't affected
by the rtruntime knob. But if it promotes an RT task via an explicit
setscheduler() syscall or an OOM, the task can't run at all. In short,
the oom killer doesn't work at all if admins are using cpu cgroup and don't
touch the rtruntime knob.
Eventually, kernel may hang up when oom kill occur. I and the original
author Luis agreed to disable this logic.
