f412c97abe mm, hugetlb: mark some bootstrap functions as __init
Both prep_compound_huge_page() and prep_compound_gigantic_page() are
only called at bootstrap and can be marked as __init.

The __SetPageTail(page) in prep_compound_gigantic_page() happening
before page->first_page is initialized is not concerning since this is
bootstrap.

449dd6984d mm: keep page cache radix tree nodes in check
Previously, page cache radix tree nodes were freed after reclaim emptied
out their page pointers.  But now reclaim stores shadow entries in their
place, which are only reclaimed when the inodes themselves are
reclaimed.  This is problematic for bigger files that are still in use
after they have a significant amount of their cache reclaimed, without
any of those pages actually refaulting.  The shadow entries will just
sit there and waste memory.  In the worst case, the shadow entries will
accumulate until the machine runs out of memory.

To get this under control, the VM will track radix tree nodes
exclusively containing shadow entries on a per-NUMA node list.  Per-NUMA
rather than global because we expect the radix tree nodes themselves to
be allocated node-locally and we want to reduce cross-node references of
otherwise independent cache workloads.  A simple shrinker will then
reclaim these nodes on memory pressure.

A few things need to be stored in the radix tree node to implement the
shadow node LRU and allow tree deletions coming from the list:

1. There is no index available that would describe the reverse path
   from the node up to the tree root, which is needed to perform a
   deletion.  To solve this, encode in each node its offset inside the
   parent.  This can be stored in the unused upper bits of the same
   member that stores the node's height at no extra space cost.

2. The number of shadow entries needs to be counted in addition to the
   regular entries, to quickly detect when the node is ready to go to
   the shadow node LRU list.  The current entry count is an unsigned
   int but the maximum number of entries is 64, so a shadow counter
   can easily be stored in the unused upper bits.

3. Tree modification needs tree lock and tree root, which are located
   in the address space, so store an address_space backpointer in the
   node.  The parent pointer of the node is in a union with the 2-word
   rcu_head, so the backpointer comes at no extra cost as well.

4. The node needs to be linked to an LRU list, which requires a list
   head inside the node.  This does increase the size of the node, but
   it does not change the number of objects that fit into a slab page.

a528910e12 mm: thrash detection-based file cache sizing
The VM maintains cached filesystem pages on two types of lists.  One
list holds the pages recently faulted into the cache, the other list
holds pages that have been referenced repeatedly on that first list.
The idea is to prefer reclaiming young pages over those that have shown
to benefit from caching in the past.  We call the recently usedbut
ultimately was not significantly better than a FIFO policy and still
thrashed cache based on eviction speed, rather than actual demand for
cache.

This patch solves one half of the problem by decoupling the ability to
detect working set changes from the inactive list size.  By maintaining
a history of recently evicted file pages it can detect frequently used
pages with an arbitrarily small inactive list size, and subsequently
apply pressure on the active list based on actual demand for cache, not
just overall eviction speed.

Every zone maintains a counter that tracks inactive list aging speed.
When a page is evicted, a snapshot of this counter is stored in the
now-empty page cache radix tree slot.  On refault, the minimum access
distance of the page can be assessed, to evaluate whether the page
should be part of the active list or not.

This fixes the VM's blindness towards working set changes in excess of
the inactive list.  And it's the foundation to further improve the
protection ability and reduce the minimum inactive list size of 50%.

91b0abe36a mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cache
Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page.  As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently.  At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.

Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate.  Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.

0cd6144aad mm + fs: prepare for non-page entries in page cache radix trees
shmem mappings already contain exceptional entries where swap slot
information is remembered.

To be able to store eviction information for regular page cache, prepare
every site dealing with the radix trees directly to handle entries other
than pages.

The common lookup functions will filter out non-page entries and return
NULL for page cache holes, just as before.  But provide a raw version of
the API which returns non-page entries as well, and switch shmem over to
use it.

e7b563bb2a mm: filemap: move radix tree hole searching here
The radix tree hole searching code is only used for page cache, for
example the readahead code trying to get a a picture of the area
surrounding a fault.

It sufficed to rely on the radix tree definition of holes, which is
"empty tree slot".  But this is about to change, though, as shadow page
descriptors will be stored in the page cache after the actual pages get
evicted from memory.

Move the functions over to mm/filemap.c and make them native page cache
operations, where they can later be adapted to handle the new definition
of "page cache hole".

6dbaf22ce1 mm: shmem: save one radix tree lookup when truncating swapped pages
Page cache radix tree slots are usually stabilized by the page lock, but
shmem's swap cookies have no such thing.  Because the overall truncation
loop is lockless, the swap entry is currently confirmed by a tree lookup
and then deleted by another tree lookup under the same tree lock region.

Use radix_tree_delete_item() instead, which does the verification and
deletion with only one lookup.  This also allows removing the
delete-only special case from shmem_radix_tree_replace().

8382d914eb mm, hugetlb: improve page-fault scalability
The kernel can currently only handle a single hugetlb page fault at a
time.  This is due to a single mutex that serializes the entire path.
This lock protects from spurious OOM errors under conditions of low
availability of free hugepages.  This problem is specific to hugepages,
because it is normal to want to use every single hugepage in the system
- with normal pages we simply assume there will always be a few spare
pages which can be used temporarily until the race is resolved.

Address this problem by using a table of mutexes, allowing a better
chance of parallelization, where each hugepage is individually
serialized.  The hash key is selected depending on the mapping type.
For shared ones it consists of the address space and file offset being
faulted; while for private ones the mm and virtual address are used.
The size of the table is selected based on a compromise of collisions
and memory footprint of a series of database workloads.

Large database workloads that make heavy use of hugepages can be
particularly exposed to this issue, causing start-up times to be
painfully slow.  This patch reduces the startup time of a 10 Gb Oracle
DB (with ~5000 faults) from 37.5 secs to 25.7 secs.  Larger workloads
will naturally benefit even more.

NOTE:
The only downside to this patch, detected by Joonsoo Kim, is that a
small race is possible in private mappings: A child process (with its
own mm, after cow) can instantiate a page that is already being handled
by the parent in a cow fault.  When low on pages, can trigger spurious
OOMs.  I have not been able to think of a efficient way of handling
this...  but do we really care about such a tiny window? We already
maintain another theoretical race with normal pages.  If not, one
possible way to is to maintain the single hash for private mappings --
any workloads that *really* suffer from this scaling problem should
already use shared mappings.

7b24d8616b mm, hugetlb: fix race in region tracking
There is a race condition if we map a same file on different processes.
Region tracking is protected by mmap_sem and hugetlb_instantiation_mutex.
When we do mmap, we don't grab a hugetlb_instantiation_mutex, but only
mmap_sem (exclusively).  This doesn't prevent other tasks from modifying
the region structure, so it can be modified by two processes
concurrently.

To solve this, introduce a spinlock to resv_map and make region
manipulation function grab it before they do actual work.

Now, we are preparing to change a coarse grained lock which protect a

So, before changing it, unify region structure handling, consistently
using a resv_map regardless of the kind of mapping.

successful, saving a smp_rmb some loads and comparisons on some relative

Since the naming, get/put_mems_allowed() does suggest a mandatory
pairing, rename the interface, as suggested by Mel, to resemble the
seqcount interface.

This gives us: read_mems_allowed_begin() and read_mems_allowed_retry(),
where it is important to note that the return value of the latter call
is inverted from its previous incarnation.

c89da70c73 kmemleak: allow freeing internal objects after kmemleak was disabled
Currently if kmemleak is disabled, the kmemleak objects can never be
freed, no matter if it's disabled by a user or due to fatal errors.

Those objects can be a big waste of memory.

    OBJS ACTIVE  USE OBJ SIZE  SLABS OBJ/SLAB CACHE SIZE NAME
  1200264 1197433  99%    0.30K  46164       26    369312K kmemleak_object

With this patch, after kmemleak was disabled you can reclaim memory
with:

	# echo clear > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak

Also inform users about this with a printk.

Currently if you stop kmemleak thread before disabling kmemleak,

With this patch, kmemleak objects won't be freed if there're leaks that

5acda9d12d bdi: avoid oops on device removal
After commit 839a8e8660b6 ("writeback: replace custom worker pool
implementation with unbound workqueue") when device is removed while we
are writing to it we crash in bdi_writeback_workfn() ->
set_worker_desc() because bdi->dev is NULL.

This can happen because even though bdi_unregister() cancels all pending
flushing work, nothing really prevents new ones from being queued from
balance_dirty_pages() or other places.

Fix the problem by clearing BDI_registered bit in bdi_unregister() and
checking it before scheduling of any flushing work.

Fixes: 839a8e8660b6777e7fe4e80af1a048aebe2b5977

6ca738d60c backing_dev: fix hung task on sync
bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed() used the mod_delayed_work() function to
schedule work to writeback dirty inodes.  The problem with this is that
it can delay work that is scheduled for immediate execution, such as the
work from sync_inodes_sb().  This can happen since mod_delayed_work()
can now steal work from a work_queue.  This fixes the problem by using
queue_delayed_work() instead.  This is a regression caused by commit
839a8e8660b6 ("writeback: replace custom worker pool implementation with
unbound workqueue").

The reason that this causes a problem is that laptop-mode will change
the delay, dirty_writeback_centisecs, to 60000 (10 minutes) by default.
In the case that bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed() races with
sync_inodes_sb(), sync will be stopped for 10 minutes and trigger a hung
task.  Even if dirty_writeback_centisecs is not long enough to cause a
hung task, we still don't want to delay sync for that long.

We fix the problem by using queue_delayed_work() when we want to
schedule writeback sometime in future.  This function doesn't change the
timer if it is already armed.

For the same reason, we also change bdi_writeback_workfn() to
immediately queue the work again in the case that the work_list is not
empty.  The same problem can happen if the sync work is run on the
rescue worker.

32d01dc7be Merge branch 'for-3.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot updates for cgroup:

   - The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs.  cgroup took
     after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and
     made it even more convoluted over time.  cgroup's internal objects
     were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and
     object lifetime rules.  Naturally, there are places where vfs rules
     don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock
     dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial
     number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is
     actually necessary, needed to be employed.

     After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking
     rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding
     of several nasty hacks and overall simplification.  This will also
     allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups
     which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting
     i_mutexes.

   - Various simplifications including dropping of module support,
     easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type
     handling and task_cg_lists optimization.

   - Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still
     a patchset away from being actually operational.  The dummy
     hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy.
     Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are
     associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for
     anyway.

   - Various fixes from Li and others.  This pull request includes some
     patches to add missing slab.h to various subsystems.  This was
     triggered xattr.h include removal from cgroup.h.  cgroup.h
     indirectly got included a lot of files which brought in xattr.h
     which brought in slab.h.

  There are several merge commits - one to pull in kernfs updates
  necessary for converting cgroup (already in upstream through
  driver-core), others for interfering changes in the fixes branch"

Pull x86 vdso changes from Peter Anvin:
 "This is the revamp of the 32-bit vdso and the associated cleanups.

  This adds timekeeping support to the 32-bit vdso that we already have
  in the 64-bit vdso.  Although 32-bit x86 is legacy, it is likely to
  remain in the embedded space for a very long time to come.

  This removes the traditional COMPAT_VDSO support; the configuration
  variable is reused for simply removing the 32-bit vdso, which will
  produce correct results but obviously suffer a performance penalty.
  Only one beta version of glibc was affected, but that version was
  unfortunately included in one OpenSUSE release.

  This is not the end of the vdso cleanups.  Stefani and Andy have
  agreed to continue work for the next kernel cycle; in fact Andy has
  already produced another set of cleanups that came too late for this
  cycle.

  An incidental, but arguably important, change is that this ensures
  that unused space in the VVAR page is properly zeroed.  It wasn't
  before, and would contain whatever garbage was left in memory by BIOS
  or the bootloader.  Since the VVAR page is accessible to user space
  this had the potential of information leaks"
