Tim Chen 67afa38e01 mm/swap: add cache for swap slots allocation
We add per cpu caches for swap slots that can be allocated and freed
quickly without the need to touch the swap info lock.

Two separate caches are maintained for swap slots allocated and swap
slots returned.  This is to allow the swap slots to be returned to the
global pool in a batch so they will have a chance to be coaelesced with
other slots in a cluster.  We do not reuse the slots that are returned
right away, as it may increase fragmentation of the slots.

The swap allocation cache is protected by a mutex as we may sleep when
searching for empty slots in cache.  The swap free cache is protected by
a spin lock as we cannot sleep in the free path.

We refill the swap slots cache when we run out of slots, and we disable
the swap slots cache and drain the slots if the global number of slots
fall below a low watermark threshold.  We re-enable the cache agian when
the slots available are above a high watermark.

Tim Chen 36005bae20 mm/swap: allocate swap slots in batches
Currently, the swap slots are allocated one page at a time, causing
contention to the swap_info lock protecting the swap partition on every
page being swapped.

This patch adds new functions get_swap_pages and scan_swap_map_slots to
request multiple swap slots at once.  This will reduces the lock
contention on the swap_info lock.  Also scan_swap_map_slots can operate
more efficiently as swap slots often occurs in clusters close to each
other on a swap device and it is quicker to allocate them together.

Huang, Ying 4b3ef9daa4 mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB trunks
The patch is to improve the scalability of the swap out/in via using
fine grained locks for the swap cache.  In current kernel, one address
space will be used for each swap device.  And in the common
configuration, the number of the swap device is very small (one is
typical).  This causes the heavy lock contention on the radix tree of
the address space if multiple tasks swap out/in concurrently.

But in fact, there is no dependency between pages in the swap cache.  So
that, we can split the one shared address space for each swap device
into several address spaces to reduce the lock contention.  In the
patch, the shared address space is split into 64MB trunks.  64MB is
chosen to balance the memory space usage and effect of lock contention
reduction.

The size of struct address_space on x86_64 architecture is 408B, so with
the patch, 6528B more memory will be used for every 1GB swap space on
x86_64 architecture.

One address space is still shared for the swap entries in the same 64M
trunks.  To avoid lock contention for the first round of swap space
allocation, the order of the swap clusters in the initial free clusters
list is changed.  The swap space distance between the consecutive swap
clusters in the free cluster list is at least 64M.  After the first
round of allocation, the swap clusters are expected to be freed
randomly, so the lock contention should be reduced effectively.

Huang, Ying 235b621767 mm/swap: add cluster lock
This patch is to reduce the lock contention of swap_info_struct->lock
via using a more fine grained lock in swap_cluster_info for some swap
operations.  swap_info_struct->lock is heavily contended if multiple
processes reclaim pages simultaneously.  Because there is only one lock
for each swap device.  While in common configuration, there is only one
or several swap devices in the system.  The lock protects almost all
swap related operations.

In fact, many swap operations only access one element of
swap_info_struct->swap_map array.  And there is no dependency between
different elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map.  So a fine grained
lock can be used to allow parallel access to the different elements of
swap_info_struct->swap_map.

In this patch, a spinlock is added to swap_cluster_info to protect the
elements of swap_info_struct->swap_map in the swap cluster and the
fields of swap_cluster_info.  This reduced locking contention for
swap_info_struct->swap_map access greatly.

Because of the added spinlock, the size of swap_cluster_info increases
from 4 bytes to 8 bytes on the 64 bit and 32 bit system.  This will use
additional 4k RAM for every 1G swap space.

Because the size of swap_cluster_info is much smaller than the size of
the cache line (8 vs 64 on x86_64 architecture), there may be false
cache line sharing between spinlocks in swap_cluster_info.  To avoid the
false sharing in the first round of the swap cluster allocation, the
order of the swap clusters in the free clusters list is changed.  So
that, the swap_cluster_info sharing the same cache line will be placed
as far as possible.  After the first round of allocation, the order of
the clusters in free clusters list is expected to be random.  So the
false sharing should be not serious.

Compared with a previous implementation using bit_spin_lock, the
sequential swap out throughput improved about 3.2%.  Test was done on a
Xeon E5 v3 system.  The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM
(persistent memory) device.  To test the sequential swapping out, the
test case created 32 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to
the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used.

Huang, Ying 6a991fc72d mm/swap: fix kernel message in swap_info_get()
Patch series "mm/swap: Regular page swap optimizations", v5.

Times have changed.  Coming generation of Solid state Block device
latencies are getting down to sub 100 usec, which is within an order of
magnitude of DRAM, and their performance is orders of magnitude higher
than the single- spindle rotational media we've swapped to historically.

This could benefit many usage scenearios.  For example cloud providers
who overcommit their memory (as VM don't use all the memory
provisioned).  Having a fast swap will allow them to be more aggressive
in memory overcommit and fit more VMs to a platform.

In our testing [see footnote], the median latency that the kernel adds
to a page fault is 15 usec, which comes quite close to the amount that
will be contributed by the underlying I/O devices.

The software latency comes mostly from contentions on the locks
protecting the radix tree of the swap cache and also the locks
protecting the individual swap devices.  The lock contentions already
consumed 35% of cpu cycles in our test.  In the very near future,
software latency will become the bottleneck to swap performnace as block
device I/O latency gets within the shouting distance of DRAM speed.

This patch set, reduced the median page fault latency from 15 usec to 4
usec (375% reduction) for DRAM based pmem block device.

This patch (of 9):

swap_info_get() is used not only in swap free code path but also in
page_swapcount(), etc.  So the original kernel message in swap_info_get()
is not correct now.  Fix it via replacing "swap_free" to "swap_info_get"
in the message.

With investigation, it reveals currently stable page doesn't support
anonymous page.  IOW, reuse_swap_page can reuse the page without waiting
writeback completion so it can overwrite page zram is compressing.

Unfortunately, zram has used per-cpu stream feature from v4.7.
It aims for increasing cache hit ratio of scratch buffer for
compressing. Downside of that approach is that zram should ask
memory space for compressed page in per-cpu context which requires
stricted gfp flag which could be failed. If so, it retries to
allocate memory space out of per-cpu context so it could get memory
this time and compress the data again, copies it to the memory space.

In this scenario, zram assumes the data should never be changed
but it is not true unless stable page supports. So, If the data is
changed under us, zram can make buffer overrun because second
compression size could be bigger than one we got in previous trial
and blindly, copy bigger size object to smaller buffer which is
buffer overrun. The overrun breaks zsmalloc free object chaining
so system goes crash like above.

I think below is same problem.
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=997574

Unfortunately, reuse_swap_page should be atomic so that we cannot wait on
writeback in there so the approach in this patch is simply return false if
we found it needs stable page.  Although it increases memory footprint
temporarily, it happens rarely and it should be reclaimed easily althoug
it happened.  Also, It would be better than waiting of IO completion,
which is critial path for application latency.

Hugh Dickins dc644a0737 mm: add three more cond_resched() in swapoff
Add a cond_resched() in the unuse_pmd_range() loop (so as to call it
even when pmd none or trans_huge, like zap_pmd_range() does); and in the
unuse_mm() loop (since that might skip over many vmas).  shmem_unuse()
and radix_tree_locate_item() look good enough already.

Those were the obvious places, but in fact the stalls came from
find_next_to_unuse(), which sometimes scans through many unused entries.
Apply scan_swap_map()'s LATENCY_LIMIT of 256 there too; and only go off
to test frontswap_map when a used entry is found.

Jann Horn dd111be691 swapfile: fix memory corruption via malformed swapfile
When root activates a swap partition whose header has the wrong
endianness, nr_badpages elements of badpages are swabbed before
nr_badpages has been checked, leading to a buffer overrun of up to 8GB.

This normally is not a security issue because it can only be exploited

modify swapped-out memory of any other userspace process on the system.

Huang Ying f6ab1f7f6b mm, swap: use offset of swap entry as key of swap cache
This patch is to improve the performance of swap cache operations when
the type of the swap device is not 0.  Originally, the whole swap entry
value is used as the key of the swap cache, even though there is one
radix tree for each swap device.  If the type of the swap device is not
0, the height of the radix tree of the swap cache will be increased
unnecessary, especially on 64bit architecture.  For example, for a 1GB
swap device on the x86_64 architecture, the height of the radix tree of
the swap cache is 11.  But if the offset of the swap entry is used as
the key of the swap cache, the height of the radix tree of the swap
cache is 4.  The increased height causes unnecessary radix tree
descending and increased cache footprint.

This patch reduces the height of the radix tree of the swap cache via
using the offset of the swap entry instead of the whole swap entry value
as the key of the swap cache.  In 32 processes sequential swap out test
case on a Xeon E5 v3 system with RAM disk as swap, the lock contention
for the spinlock of the swap cache is reduced from 20.15% to 12.19%,
when the type of the swap device is 1.

Use the whole swap entry as key,

Huang Ying 6b53491598 mm, swap: add swap_cluster_list
This is a code clean up patch without functionality changes.  The
swap_cluster_list data structure and its operations are introduced to
provide some better encapsulation for the free cluster and discard
cluster list operations.  This avoid some code duplication, improved the
code readability, and reduced the total line number.

Santosh Shilimkar c8de641b1e mm: fix the page_swap_info() BUG_ON check
Commit 62c230bc17 ("mm: add support for a filesystem to activate
swap files and use direct_IO for writing swap pages") replaced the
swap_aops dirty hook from __set_page_dirty_no_writeback() with
swap_set_page_dirty().

For normal cases without these special SWP flags code path falls back to
__set_page_dirty_no_writeback() so the behaviour is expected to be the
same as before.

But swap_set_page_dirty() makes use of the page_swap_info() helper to
get the swap_info_struct to check for the flags like SWP_FILE,
SWP_BLKDEV etc as desired for those features.  This helper has
BUG_ON(!PageSwapCache(page)) which is racy and safe only for the
set_page_dirty_lock() path.

For the set_page_dirty() path which is often needed for cases to be
called from irq context, kswapd() can toggle the flag behind the back
while the call is getting executed when system is low on memory and
heavy swapping is ongoing.

This ends up with undesired kernel panic.

This patch just moves the check outside the helper to its users
appropriately to fix kernel panic for the described path.  Couple of
users of helpers already take care of SwapCache condition so I skipped
them.

Vlastimil Babka 8ea1d2a198 mm, frontswap: convert frontswap_enabled to static key
I have noticed that frontswap.h first declares "frontswap_enabled" as
extern bool variable, and then overrides it with "#define
frontswap_enabled (1)" for CONFIG_FRONTSWAP=Y or (0) when disabled.  The
bool variable isn't actually instantiated anywhere.

This all looks like an unfinished attempt to make frontswap_enabled
reflect whether a backend is instantiated.  But in the current state,
all frontswap hooks call unconditionally into frontswap.c just to check
if frontswap_ops is non-NULL.  This should at least be checked inline,
but we can further eliminate the overhead when CONFIG_FRONTSWAP is
enabled and no backend registered, using a static key that is initially
disabled, and gets enabled only upon first backend registration.

Thus, checks for "frontswap_enabled" are replaced with
"frontswap_enabled()" wrapping the static key check.  There are two
exceptions:

- xen's selfballoon_process() was testing frontswap_enabled in code guarded
  by #ifdef CONFIG_FRONTSWAP, which was effectively always true when reachable.
  The patch just removes this check. Using frontswap_enabled() does not sound
  correct here, as this can be true even without xen's own backend being
  registered.

- in SYSCALL_DEFINE2(swapon), change the check to IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FRONTSWAP)
  as it seems the bitmap allocation cannot currently be postponed until a
  backend is registered. This means that frontswap will still have some
  memory overhead by being configured, but without a backend.

After the patch, we can expect that some functions in frontswap.c are
called only when frontswap_ops is non-NULL.  Change the checks there to
VM_BUG_ONs.  While at it, convert other BUG_ONs to VM_BUG_ONs as
frontswap has been stable for some time.

Andrea Arcangeli 6d0a07edd1 mm: thp: calculate the mapcount correctly for THP pages during WP faults
This will provide fully accuracy to the mapcount calculation in the
write protect faults, so page pinning will not get broken by false
positive copy-on-writes.

total_mapcount() isn't the right calculation needed in
reuse_swap_page(), so this introduces a page_trans_huge_mapcount()
that is effectively the full accurate return value for page_mapcount()
if dealing with Transparent Hugepages, however we only use the
page_trans_huge_mapcount() during COW faults where it strictly needed,
due to its higher runtime cost.

This also provide at practical zero cost the total_mapcount
information which is needed to know if we can still relocate the page
anon_vma to the local vma. If page_trans_huge_mapcount() returns 1 we
can reuse the page no matter if it's a pte or a pmd_trans_huge
triggering the fault, but we can only relocate the page anon_vma to
the local vma->anon_vma if we're sure it's only this "vma" mapping the
whole THP physical range.

Kirill A. Shutemov discovered the problem with moving the page
anon_vma to the local vma->anon_vma in a previous version of this
patch and another problem in the way page_move_anon_rmap() was called.

Andrew Morton discovered that CONFIG_SWAP=n wouldn't build in a
previous version, because reuse_swap_page must be a macro to call
page_trans_huge_mapcount from swap.h, so this uses a macro again
instead of an inline function. With this change at least it's a less
dangerous usage than it was before, because "page" is used only once
now, while with the previous code reuse_swap_page(page++) would have
called page_mapcount on page+1 and it would have increased page twice
instead of just once.

Dean Luick noticed an uninitialized variable that could result in a
rmap inefficiency for the non-THP case in a previous version.

Mike Marciniszyn said:

: Our RDMA tests are seeing an issue with memory locking that bisects to
: commit 61f5d698cc ("mm: re-enable THP")
:
: The test program registers two rather large MRs (512M) and RDMA
: writes data to a passive peer using the first and RDMA reads it back
: into the second MR and compares that data.  The sizes are chosen randomly
: between 0 and 1024 bytes.
:
: The test will get through a few (<= 4 iterations) and then gets a

:
: Tracing indicates the kernel logical addresses associated with the individual
: pages at registration ARE correct , the data in the "RDMA read response only"
: packets ARE correct.
:
: The "corruption" occurs when the packet crosse two pages that are not physically
: contiguous.   The second page reads back as zero in the program.
:
: It looks like the user VA at the point of the compare error no longer points to
: the same physical address as was registered.
:
: This patch totally resolves the issue!

Kirill A. Shutemov 09cbfeaf1a mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

Swap cache pages are freed aggressively if swap is nearly full (>50%
currently), because otherwise we are likely to stop scanning anonymous
when we near the swap limit even if there is plenty of freeable swap cache
pages.  We should follow the same trend in case of memory cgroup, which

Vladimir Davydov 37e8435119 mm: memcontrol: charge swap to cgroup2
This patchset introduces swap accounting to cgroup2.

This patch (of 7):

In the legacy hierarchy we charge memsw, which is dubious, because:

 - memsw.limit must be >= memory.limit, so it is impossible to limit
   swap usage less than memory usage. Taking into account the fact that
   the primary limiting mechanism in the unified hierarchy is
   memory.high while memory.limit is either left unset or set to a very
   large value, moving memsw.limit knob to the unified hierarchy would
   effectively make it impossible to limit swap usage according to the
   user preference.

 - memsw.usage != memory.usage + swap.usage, because a page occupying
   both swap entry and a swap cache page is charged only once to memsw
   counter. As a result, it is possible to effectively eat up to
   memory.limit of memory pages *and* memsw.limit of swap entries, which
   looks unexpected.

That said, we should provide a different swap limiting mechanism for
cgroup2.

This patch adds mem_cgroup->swap counter, which charges the actual number
of swap entries used by a cgroup.  It is only charged in the unified
hierarchy, while the legacy hierarchy memsw logic is left intact.

The swap usage can be monitored using new memory.swap.current file and
limited using memory.swap.max.

Note, to charge swap resource properly in the unified hierarchy, we have
to make swap_entry_free uncharge swap only when ->usage reaches zero, not
just ->count, i.e.  when all references to a swap entry, including the one
taken by swap cache, are gone.  This is necessary, because otherwise
swap-in could result in uncharging swap even if the page is still in swap
cache and hence still occupies a swap entry.  At the same time, this
shouldn't break memsw counter logic, where a page is never charged twice
for using both memory and swap, because in case of legacy hierarchy we
uncharge swap on commit (see mem_cgroup_commit_charge).

Hugh Dickins 9f8bdb3f3d mm: make swapoff more robust against soft dirty
Both s390 and powerpc have hit the issue of swapoff hanging, when
CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_SOFT_DIRTY and CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY ifdefs were not
quite as x86_64 had them.  I think it would be much clearer if
HAVE_ARCH_SOFT_DIRTY was just a Kconfig option set by architectures to
determine whether the MEM_SOFT_DIRTY option should be offered, and the
actual code depend upon CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY alone.

But won't embark on that change myself: instead make swapoff more
robust, by using pte_swp_clear_soft_dirty() on each pte it encounters,
without an explicit #ifdef CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY.  That being a no-op,
whether the bit in question is defined as 0 or the asm-generic fallback
is used, unless soft dirty is fully turned on.

Why "maybe" in maybe_same_pte()? Rename it pte_same_as_swp().

Kirill A. Shutemov 1f25fe20a7 mm, thp: adjust conditions when we can reuse the page on WP fault
With new refcounting we will be able map the same compound page with
PTEs and PMDs.  It requires adjustment to conditions when we can reuse
the page on write-protection fault.

For PTE fault we can't reuse the page if it's part of huge page.

For PMD we can only reuse the page if nobody else maps the huge page or
it's part.  We can do it by checking page_mapcount() on each sub-page,
but it's expensive.

The cheaper way is to check page_count() to be equal 1: every mapcount
takes page reference, so this way we can guarantee, that the PMD is the
only mapping.

This approach can give false negative if somebody pinned the page, but
that doesn't affect correctness.

Kirill A. Shutemov f627c2f537 memcg: adjust to support new THP refcounting
As with rmap, with new refcounting we cannot rely on PageTransHuge() to
check if we need to charge size of huge page form the cgroup.  We need
to get information from caller to know whether it was mapped with PMD or
PTE.

We do uncharge when last reference on the page gone.  At that point if
we see PageTransHuge() it means we need to unchange whole huge page.

The tricky part is partial unmap -- when we try to unmap part of huge
page.  We don't do a special handing of this situation, meaning we don't
uncharge the part of huge page unless last user is gone or
split_huge_page() is triggered.  In case of cgroup memory pressure
happens the partial unmapped page will be split through shrinker.  This
should be good enough.

Chris Wilson fb0fec501f mm: Export nr_swap_pages
Some modules, like i915.ko, use swappable objects and may try to swap
them out under memory pressure (via the shrinker). Before doing so, they
want to check using get_nr_swap_pages() to see if any swap space is
available as otherwise they will waste time purging the object from the
device without recovering any memory for the system. This requires the
nr_swap_pages counter to be exported to the modules.

Minchan Kim 8334b96221 mm: /proc/pid/smaps:: show proportional swap share of the mapping
We want to know per-process workingset size for smart memory management
on userland and we use swap(ex, zram) heavily to maximize memory
efficiency so workingset includes swap as well as RSS.

On such system, if there are lots of shared anonymous pages, it's really
hard to figure out exactly how many each process consumes memory(ie, rss
+ wap) if the system has lots of shared anonymous memory(e.g, android).

This patch introduces SwapPss field on /proc/<pid>/smaps so we can get
more exact workingset size per process.

Bongkyu tested it. Result is below.

Hugh Dickins 6f179af88f mm: fix potential data race in SyS_swapon
While running KernelThreadSanitizer (ktsan) on upstream kernel with
trinity, we got a few reports from SyS_swapon, here is one of them:

Read of size 8 by thread T307 (K7621):
 [<     inlined    >] SyS_swapon+0x3c0/0x1850 SYSC_swapon mm/swapfile.c:2395

 [<ffffffff81e97c8a>] ia32_do_call+0x1b/0x25

Looks like the swap_lock should be taken when iterating through the
swap_info array on lines 2392 - 2401: q->swap_file may be reset to
NULL by another thread before it is dereferenced for f_mapping.

But why is that iteration needed at all?  Doesn't the claim_swapfile()
which follows do all that is needed to check for a duplicate entry -
FMODE_EXCL on a bdev, testing IS_SWAPFILE under i_mutex on a regfile?

Well, not quite: bd_may_claim() allows the same "holder" to claim the
bdev again, so we do need to use a different holder than "sys_swapon";
and we should not replace appropriate -EBUSY by inappropriate -EINVAL.

Index i was reused in a cpu loop further down: renamed cpu there.

Johannes Weiner 0a31bc97c8 mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge API
The memcg uncharging code that is involved towards the end of a page's
lifetime - truncation, reclaim, swapout, migration - is impressively
complicated and fragile.

Because anonymous and file pages were always charged before they had their
page->mapping established, uncharges had to happen when the page type
could still be known from the context; as in unmap for anonymous, page
cache removal for file and shmem pages, and swap cache truncation for swap
pages.  However, these operations happen well before the page is actually
freed, and so a lot of synchronization is necessary:

- Charging, uncharging, page migration, and charge migration all need
  to take a per-page bit spinlock as they could race with uncharging.

- Swap cache truncation happens during both swap-in and swap-out, and
  possibly repeatedly before the page is actually freed.  This means
  that the memcg swapout code is called from many contexts that make
  no sense and it has to figure out the direction from page state to
  make sure memory and memory+swap are always correctly charged.

- On page migration, the old page might be unmapped but then reused,
  so memcg code has to prevent untimely uncharging in that case.
  Because this code - which should be a simple charge transfer - is so
  special-cased, it is not reusable for replace_page_cache().

But now that charged pages always have a page->mapping, introduce
mem_cgroup_uncharge(), which is called after the final put_page(), when we
know for sure that nobody is looking at the page anymore.

For page migration, introduce mem_cgroup_migrate(), which is called after
the migration is successful and the new page is fully rmapped.  Because
the old page is no longer uncharged after migration, prevent double
charges by decoupling the page's memcg association (PCG_USED and
pc->mem_cgroup) from the page holding an actual charge.  The new bits
PCG_MEM and PCG_MEMSW represent the respective charges and are transferred
to the new page during migration.

mem_cgroup_migrate() is suitable for replace_page_cache() as well,
which gets rid of mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache().  However, care
needs to be taken because both the source and the target page can
already be charged and on the LRU when fuse is splicing: grab the page
lock on the charge moving side to prevent changing pc->mem_cgroup of a
page under migration.  Also, the lruvecs of both pages change as we
uncharge the old and charge the new during migration, and putback may
race with us, so grab the lru lock and isolate the pages iff on LRU to
prevent races and ensure the pages are on the right lruvec afterward.

Swap accounting is massively simplified: because the page is no longer
uncharged as early as swap cache deletion, a new mem_cgroup_swapout() can
transfer the page's memory+swap charge (PCG_MEMSW) to the swap entry
before the final put_page() in page reclaim.

Finally, page_cgroup changes are now protected by whatever protection the
page itself offers: anonymous pages are charged under the page table lock,
whereas page cache insertions, swapin, and migration hold the page lock.
Uncharging happens under full exclusion with no outstanding references.
Charging and uncharging also ensure that the page is off-LRU, which
serializes against charge migration.  Remove the very costly page_cgroup
lock and set pc->flags non-atomically.

These patches rework memcg charge lifetime to integrate more naturally

This patch (of 4):

The memcg charge API charges pages before they are rmapped - i.e.  have an
actual "type" - and so every callsite needs its own set of charge and
uncharge functions to know what type is being operated on.  Worse,
uncharge has to happen from a context that is still type-specific, rather
than at the end of the page's lifetime with exclusive access, and so
requires a lot of synchronization.

Rewrite the charge API to provide a generic set of try_charge(),
commit_charge() and cancel_charge() transaction operations, much like
what's currently done for swap-in:

  mem_cgroup_try_charge() attempts to reserve a charge, reclaiming
  pages from the memcg if necessary.

  mem_cgroup_commit_charge() commits the page to the charge once it
  has a valid page->mapping and PageAnon() reliably tells the type.

  mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() aborts the transaction.

This reduces the charge API and enables subsequent patches to
drastically simplify uncharging.

As pages need to be committed after rmap is established but before they
are added to the LRU, page_add_new_anon_rmap() must stop doing LRU
additions again.  Revive lru_cache_add_active_or_unevictable().

Dan Streetman 18ab4d4ced swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_head
Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked
list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index,
which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap
target that was not full.  The first patch in this series changed the
singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start
at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest
priority entry each time, even if the entry is full.

Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head.
Add a new plist, swap_avail_head.  The original swap_active_head plist
contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new
swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and
available, i.e. not full.  Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect
the swap_avail_head list.

Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering
the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing
manually.  All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct
entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically
ordered correctly.

Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and
optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full
swap_info_structs.  Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist
allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the
plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not
do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change
from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main
swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

Dan Streetman adfab836f4 swap: change swap_info singly-linked list to list_head
The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries
for all active, i.e.  swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because:

 - it stores the entries in priority order
 - there is a pointer to the highest priority entry
 - there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry
 - there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock
 - swap entries of equal priority should be used equally

this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally.

That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists,
but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to
understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic.

The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list
using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed
and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority
swap_info entry, even if it's full.  While this does introduce unnecessary
list iteration (i.e.  Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where
one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and
manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug;
and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration.

The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new
really, just functions to match existing regular list functions.  These
are used by the next two patches.

The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in
the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries
(which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that
all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally.

The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist
that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full.
As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from
swap - plists handle ordering automatically.  The list naming is also
clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed
from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named
swap_avail_head.  A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so
swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as
they become full or not full.

This patch (of 4):

Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e.  swapon'ed,
swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct
list_heads.  Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of
entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head
functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic.

The change fixes the bug:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry
are incorrectly used equally in pairs.  The swap behavior is now as
advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and
equal priority swap targets are used concurrently.

Weijie Yang f893ab41e4 mm/swap: fix race on swap_info reuse between swapoff and swapon
swapoff clear swap_info's SWP_USED flag prematurely and free its
resources after that.  A concurrent swapon will reuse this swap_info
while its previous resources are not cleared completely.

These late freed resources are:
 - p->percpu_cluster
 - swap_cgroup_ctrl[type]
 - block_device setting
 - inode->i_flags &= ~S_SWAPFILE

This patch clears the SWP_USED flag after all its resources are freed,
so that swapon can reuse this swap_info by alloc_swap_info() safely.

Sasha Levin 309381feae mm: dump page when hitting a VM_BUG_ON using VM_BUG_ON_PAGE
Most of the VM_BUG_ON assertions are performed on a page.  Usually, when
one of these assertions fails we'll get a BUG_ON with a call stack and
the registers.

I've recently noticed based on the requests to add a small piece of code
that dumps the page to various VM_BUG_ON sites that the page dump is
quite useful to people debugging issues in mm.

This patch adds a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(cond, page) which beyond doing what
VM_BUG_ON() does, also dumps the page before executing the actual
BUG_ON.

During swapoff the frontswap_map was NULL-ified before calling

exits early if frontswap_map is NULL.  Invalidate was never called
during swapoff.

This patch moves frontswap_map_set() in swapoff just after calling
frontswap_invalidate_area() so outside of locks (swap_lock and
swap_info_struct->lock).  This shouldn't be a problem as during swapon
the frontswap_map_set() is called also outside of any locks.

Krzysztof Kozlowski 5b808a2300 swap: fix set_blocksize race during swapon/swapoff
Fix race between swapoff and swapon.  Swapoff used old_block_size from
swap_info outside of swapon_mutex so it could be overwritten by
concurrent swapon.

The race has visible effect only if more than one swap block device
exists with different block sizes (e.g.  /dev/sda1 with block size 4096
and /dev/sdb1 with 512).  In such case it leads to setting the blocksize
of swapped off device with wrong blocksize.

The bug can be triggered with multiple concurrent swapoff and swapon:
0. Swap for some device is on.
1. swapoff:
First the swapoff is called on this device and "struct swap_info_struct
*p" is assigned. This is done under swap_lock however this lock is
released for the call try_to_unuse().

2. swapon:
After the assignment above (and before acquiring swapon_mutex &
swap_lock by swapoff) the swapon is called on the same device.
The p->old_block_size is assigned to the value of block_size the device.
This block size should be the same as previous but sometimes it is not.
The swapon ends successfully.

3. swapoff:
Swapoff resumes, grabs the locks and mutex and continues to disable this
swap device. Now it sets the block size to value taken from swap_info
which was overwritten by swapon in 2.

Shaohua Li ebc2a1a691 swap: make cluster allocation per-cpu
swap cluster allocation is to get better request merge to improve
performance.  But the cluster is shared globally, if multiple tasks are
doing swap, this will cause interleave disk access.  While multiple tasks
swap is quite common, for example, each numa node has a kswapd thread
doing swap and multiple threads/processes doing direct page reclaim.

ioscheduler can't help too much here, because tasks don't send swapout IO
down to block layer in the meantime.  Block layer does merge some IOs, but
a lot not, depending on how many tasks are doing swapout concurrently.  In
practice, I've seen a lot of small size IO in swapout workloads.

We makes the cluster allocation per-cpu here.  The interleave disk access
issue goes away.  All tasks swapout to their own cluster, so swapout will
become sequential, which can be easily merged to big size IO.  If one CPU
can't get its per-cpu cluster (for example, there is no free cluster
anymore in the swap), it will fallback to scan swap_map.  The CPU can
still continue swap.  We don't need recycle free swap entries of other
CPUs.

In my test (swap to a 2-disk raid0 partition), this improves around 10%
swapout throughput, and request size is increased significantly.

How does this impact swap readahead is uncertain though.  On one side,
page reclaim always isolates and swaps several adjancent pages, this will
make page reclaim write the pages sequentially and benefit readahead.  On
the other side, several CPU write pages interleave means the pages don't
live _sequentially_ but relatively _near_.  In the per-cpu allocation
case, if adjancent pages are written by different cpus, they will live
relatively _far_.  So how this impacts swap readahead depends on how many
pages page reclaim isolates and swaps one time.  If the number is big,
this patch will benefit swap readahead.  Of course, this is about
sequential access pattern.  The patch has no impact for random access
pattern, because the new cluster allocation algorithm is just for SSD.

Alternative solution is organizing swap layout to be per-mm instead of
this per-cpu approach.  In the per-mm layout, we allocate a disk range for
each mm, so pages of one mm live in swap disk adjacently.  per-mm layout
has potential issues of lock contention if multiple reclaimers are swap
pages from one mm.  For a sequential workload, per-mm layout is better to
implement swap readahead, because pages from the mm are adjacent in disk.
But per-cpu layout isn't very bad in this workload, as page reclaim always
isolates and swaps several pages one time, such pages will still live in
disk sequentially and readahead can utilize this.  For a random workload,
per-mm layout isn't beneficial of request merge, because it's quite
possible pages from different mm are swapout in the meantime and IO can't
be merged in per-mm layout.  while with per-cpu layout we can merge
requests from any mm.  Considering random workload is more popular in
workloads with swap (and per-cpu approach isn't too bad for sequential
workload too), I'm choosing per-cpu layout.

Shaohua Li edfe23dac3 swap: fix races exposed by swap discard
The previous patch can expose races, according to Hugh:

swapoff was sometimes failing with "Cannot allocate memory", coming from
try_to_unuse()'s -ENOMEM: it needs to allow for swap_duplicate() failing
on a free entry temporarily SWAP_MAP_BAD while being discarded.

We should use ACCESS_ONCE() there, and whenever accessing swap_map
locklessly; but rather than peppering it throughout try_to_unuse(), just
declare *swap_map with volatile.

try_to_unuse() is accustomed to *swap_map going down racily, but not
necessarily to it jumping up from 0 to SWAP_MAP_BAD: we'll be safer to
prevent that transition once SWP_WRITEOK is switched off, when it's a
waste of time to issue discards anyway (swapon can do a whole discard).

Another issue is:

In swapin_readahead(), read_swap_cache_async() can read a bad swap entry,
because we don't check if readahead swap entry is bad.  This doesn't break
anything but such swapin page is wasteful and can only be freed at page
reclaim.  We should avoid read such swap entry.  And in discard, we mark
swap entry SWAP_MAP_BAD and then switch it to normal when discard is
finished.  If readahead reads such swap entry, we have the same issue, so
we much check if swap entry is bad too.

Thanks Hugh to inspire swapin_readahead could use bad swap entry.

Shaohua Li 815c2c543d swap: make swap discard async
swap can do cluster discard for SSD, which is good, but there are some
problems here:

1. swap do the discard just before page reclaim gets a swap entry and
   writes the disk sectors.  This is useless for high end SSD, because an
   overwrite to a sector implies a discard to original sector too.  A
   discard + overwrite == overwrite.

2. the purpose of doing discard is to improve SSD firmware garbage
   collection.  Idealy we should send discard as early as possible, so
   firmware can do something smart.  Sending discard just after swap entry
   is freed is considered early compared to sending discard before write.
   Of course, if workload is already bound to gc speed, sending discard
   earlier or later doesn't make

3. block discard is a sync API, which will delay scan_swap_map()
   significantly.

4. Write and discard command can be executed parallel in PCIe SSD.
   Making swap discard async can make execution more efficiently.

This patch makes swap discard async and moves discard to where swap entry
is freed.  Discard and write have no dependence now, so above issues can
be avoided.  Idealy we should do discard for any freed sectors, but some
SSD discard is very slow.  This patch still does discard for a whole
cluster.

My test does a several round of 'mmap, write, unmap', which will trigger a
lot of swap discard.  In a fusionio card, with this patch, the test
runtime is reduced to 18% of the time without it, so around 5.5x faster.

Shaohua Li 2a8f944934 swap: change block allocation algorithm for SSD
I'm using a fast SSD to do swap.  scan_swap_map() sometimes uses up to
20~30% CPU time (when cluster is hard to find, the CPU time can be up to
80%), which becomes a bottleneck.  scan_swap_map() scans a byte array to
search a 256 page cluster, which is very slow.

Here I introduced a simple algorithm to search cluster.  Since we only
care about 256 pages cluster, we can just use a counter to track if a
cluster is free.  Every 256 pages use one int to store the counter.  If
the counter of a cluster is 0, the cluster is free.  All free clusters
will be added to a list, so searching cluster is very efficient.  With
this, scap_swap_map() overhead disappears.

This might help low end SD card swap too.  Because if the cluster is
aligned, SD firmware can do flash erase more efficiently.

We only enable the algorithm for SSD.  Hard disk swap isn't fast enough
and has downside with the algorithm which might introduce regression (see
below).

The patch slightly changes which cluster is choosen.  It always adds free
cluster to list tail.  This can help wear leveling for low end SSD too.
And if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do search from the end
of last cluster.  So if no cluster found, the scan_swap_map() will do
search from the end of last free cluster, which is random.  For SSD, this
isn't a problem at all.

Another downside is the cluster must be aligned to 256 pages, which will
reduce the chance to find a cluster.  I would expect this isn't a big
problem for SSD because of the non-seek penality.  (And this is the reason
I only enable the algorithm for SSD).

Cyrill Gorcunov 179ef71cbc mm: save soft-dirty bits on swapped pages
Andy Lutomirski reported that if a page with _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit set
get swapped out, the bit is getting lost and no longer available when
pte read back.

To resolve this we introduce _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit which is saved in
pte entry for the page being swapped out.  When such page is to be read
back from a swap cache we check for bit presence and if it's there we
clear it and restore the former _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit back.

One of the problem was to find a place in pte entry where we can save
the _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit while page is in swap.  The _PAGE_PSE was
chosen for that, it doesn't intersect with swap entry format stored in
pte.

Rafael Aquini dcf6b7ddd7 swap: discard while swapping only if SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES
Considering the use cases where the swap device supports discard:
a) and can do it quickly;
b) but it's slow to do in small granularities (or concurrent with other
   I/O);
c) but the implementation is so horrendous that you don't even want to
   send one down;

And assuming that the sysadmin considers it useful to send the discards down
at all, we would (probably) want the following solutions:

  i. do the fine-grained discards for freed swap pages, if device is
     capable of doing so optimally;
 ii. do single-time (batched) swap area discards, either at swapon
     or via something like fstrim (not implemented yet);
iii. allow doing both single-time and fine-grained discards; or
 iv. turn it off completely (default behavior)

As implemented today, one can only enable/disable discards for swap, but
one cannot select, for instance, solution (ii) on a swap device like (b)
even though the single-time discard is regarded to be interesting, or
necessary to the workload because it would imply (1), and the device is
not capable of performing it optimally.

This patch addresses the scenario depicted above by introducing a way to
ensure the (probably) wanted solutions (i, ii, iii and iv) can be flexibly
flagged through swapon(8) to allow a sysadmin to select the best suitable
swap discard policy accordingly to system constraints.

This patch introduces SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES and SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_ONCE
new flags to allow more flexibe swap discard policies being flagged
through swapon(8).  The default behavior is to keep both single-time, or
batched, area discards (SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_ONCE) and fine-grained discards
for page-clusters (SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES) enabled, in order to keep
consistentcy with older kernel behavior, as well as maintain compatibility
with older swapon(8).  However, through the new introduced flags the best

Akinobu Mita 7b57976da4 frontswap: fix incorrect zeroing and allocation size for frontswap_map
The bitmap accessed by bitops must have enough size to hold the required
numbers of bits rounded up to a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG.  And the
bitmap must not be zeroed by memset() if the number of bits cleared is
not a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG.

This fixes incorrect zeroing and allocation size for frontswap_map.  The
incorrect zeroing part doesn't cause any problem because frontswap_map
is freed just after zeroing.  But the wrongly calculated allocation size
may cause the problem.

For 32bit systems, the allocation size of frontswap_map is about twice
as large as required size.  For 64bit systems, the allocation size is
smaller than requeired if the number of bits is not a multiple of
BITS_PER_LONG.

Minchan Kim 4f89849da2 frontswap: get rid of swap_lock dependency
Frontswap initialization routine depends on swap_lock, which want to be
atomic about frontswap's first appearance.  IOW, frontswap is not present
and will fail all calls OR frontswap is fully functional but if new
swap_info_struct isn't registered by enable_swap_info, swap subsystem
doesn't start I/O so there is no race between init procedure and page I/O
working on frontswap.

So let's remove unnecessary swap_lock dependency.

Hugh Dickins 9e16b7fb1d mm,ksm: swapoff might need to copy
Before establishing that KSM page migration was the cause of my
WARN_ON_ONCE(page_mapped(page))s, I suspected that they came from the
lack of a ksm_might_need_to_copy() in swapoff's unuse_pte() - which in
many respects is equivalent to faulting in a page.

In fact I've never caught that as the cause: but in theory it does at
least need the KSM_RUN_UNMERGE check in ksm_might_need_to_copy(), to
avoid bringing a KSM page back in when it's not supposed to be.

I intended to copy how it's done in do_swap_page(), but have a strong
aversion to how "swapcache" ends up being used there: rework it with
"page != swapcache".

Shaohua Li ec8acf20af swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile
swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even
slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD).  The main contention comes
from swap_info_get().  This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new
per-partition lock.

Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and
swap_list are still protected by swap_lock.

nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock.  In
theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually
there are free swap pages.  But sounds not a big problem.

Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only
protected by swap_info_struct.lock.

Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and
swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it.  read the
flags is ok with either the locks hold.

If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold
the former first to avoid deadlock.

swap_entry_free() can change swap_list.  To delete that code, we add a
new highest_priority_index.  Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we
check it.  If it's valid, we use it.

It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock().  But in practice,
swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can
say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush).  And
BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock.  We never free
swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag.  The only risk without the
lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly
recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me.
But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem.

"swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the
swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s.  This patch further improves the
speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement.  It's a multi-process test,
so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

Shaohua Li 33806f06da swap: make each swap partition have one address_space
When I use several fast SSD to do swap, swapper_space.tree_lock is
heavily contended.  This makes each swap partition have one
address_space to reduce the lock contention.  There is an array of
address_space for swap.  The swap entry type is the index to the array.

In my test with 3 SSD, this increases the swapout throughput 20%.

David Rientjes e1e12d2f31 mm, oom: fix race when specifying a thread as the oom origin
test_set_oom_score_adj() and compare_swap_oom_score_adj() are used to
specify that current should be killed first if an oom condition occurs in
between the two calls.

The usage is

	short oom_score_adj = test_set_oom_score_adj(OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX);
	...
	compare_swap_oom_score_adj(OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX, oom_score_adj);

to store the thread's oom_score_adj, temporarily change it to the maximum
score possible, and then restore the old value if it is still the same.

This happens to still be racy, however, if the user writes
OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX to /proc/pid/oom_score_adj in between the two calls.
The compare_swap_oom_score_adj() will then incorrectly reset the old value
prior to the write of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX.

To fix this, introduce a new oom_flags_t member in struct signal_struct
that will be used for per-thread oom killer flags.  KSM and swapoff can
now use a bit in this member to specify that threads should be killed
first in oom conditions without playing around with oom_score_adj.

This also allows the correct oom_score_adj to always be shown when reading
/proc/pid/oom_score.

Cesar Eduardo Barros 6555bc0357 mm: do not call frontswap_init() during swapoff
The call to frontswap_init() was added within enable_swap_info(), which
was called not only during sys_swapon, but also to reinsert the swap_info
into the swap_list in case of failure of try_to_unuse() within
sys_swapoff.  This means that frontswap_init() might be called more than
once for the same swap area.

While as far as I could see no frontswap implementation has any problem
with it (and in fact, all the ones I found ignore the parameter passed to
frontswap_init), this could change in the future.

To prevent future problems, move the call to frontswap_init() to outside
the code shared between sys_swapon and sys_swapoff.

Cesar Eduardo Barros cf0cac0a09 mm: refactor reinsert of swap_info in sys_swapoff()
The block within sys_swapoff() which re-inserts the swap_info into the
swap_list in case of failure of try_to_unuse() reads a few values outside
the swap_lock.  While this is safe at that point, it is subtle code.

Simplify the code by moving the reading of these values to a separate
function, refactoring it a bit so they are read from within the swap_lock.
 This is easier to understand, and matches better the way it worked before
I unified the insertion of the swap_info from both sys_swapon and
sys_swapoff.

This change should make no functional difference.  The only real change is
moving the read of two or three structure fields to within the lock
(frontswap_map_get() is nothing more than a read of p->frontswap_map).

Jeff Layton 91a27b2a75 vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it
getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.

For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.

This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.

Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

Mel Gorman 62c230bc17 mm: add support for a filesystem to activate swap files and use direct_IO for writing swap pages
Currently swapfiles are managed entirely by the core VM by using ->bmap to
allocate space and write to the blocks directly.  This effectively ensures
that the underlying blocks are allocated and avoids the need for the swap
subsystem to locate what physical blocks store offsets within a file.

If the swap subsystem is to use the filesystem information to locate the
blocks, it is critical that information such as block groups, block
bitmaps and the block descriptor table that map the swap file were
resident in memory.  This patch adds address_space_operations that the VM
can call when activating or deactivating swap backed by a file.

  int swap_activate(struct file *);
  int swap_deactivate(struct file *);

The ->swap_activate() method is used to communicate to the file that the
VM relies on it, and the address_space should take adequate measures such
as reserving space in the underlying device, reserving memory for mempools
and pinning information such as the block descriptor table in memory.  The
->swap_deactivate() method is called on sys_swapoff() if ->swap_activate()
returned success.

After a successful swapfile ->swap_activate, the swapfile is marked
SWP_FILE and swapper_space.a_ops will proxy to
sis->swap_file->f_mappings->a_ops using ->direct_io to write swapcache
pages and ->readpage to read.

It is perfectly possible that direct_IO be used to read the swap pages but
it is an unnecessary complication.  Similarly, it is possible that
->writepage be used instead of direct_io to write the pages but filesystem
developers have stated that calling writepage from the VM is undesirable
for a variety of reasons and using direct_IO opens up the possibility of
writing back batches of swap pages in the future.

Mel Gorman f981c5950f mm: methods for teaching filesystems about PG_swapcache pages
In order to teach filesystems to handle swap cache pages, three new page
functions are introduced:

  pgoff_t page_file_index(struct page *);
  loff_t page_file_offset(struct page *);
  struct address_space *page_file_mapping(struct page *);

page_file_index() - gives the offset of this page in the file in
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE blocks.  Like page->index is for mapped pages, this
function also gives the correct index for PG_swapcache pages.

page_file_offset() - uses page_file_index(), so that it will give the
expected result, even for PG_swapcache pages.

Hugh Dickins 9b15b817f3 swap: fix shmem swapping when more than 8 areas
Minchan Kim reports that when a system has many swap areas, and tmpfs
swaps out to the ninth or more, shmem_getpage_gfp()'s attempts to read
back the page cannot locate it, and the read fails with -ENOMEM.

Whoops.  Yes, I blindly followed read_swap_header()'s pte_to_swp_entry(
swp_entry_to_pte()) technique for determining maximum usable swap
offset, without stopping to realize that that actually depends upon the
pte swap encoding shifting swap offset to the higher bits and truncating
it there.  Whereas our radix_tree swap encoding leaves offset in the
lower bits: it's swap "type" (that is, index of swap area) that was
truncated.

Fix it by reducing the SWP_TYPE_SHIFT() in swapops.h, and removing the
broken radix_to_swp_entry(swp_to_radix_entry()) from read_swap_header().

This does not reduce the usable size of a swap area any further, it
leaves it as claimed when making the original commit: no change from 3.0
on x86_64, nor on i386 without PAE; but 3.0's 512GB is reduced to 128GB
per swapfile on i386 with PAE.  It's not a change I would have risked
five years ago, but with x86_64 supported for ten years, I believe it's
appropriate now.

Hmm, and what if some architecture implements its swap pte with offset
encoded below type? That would equally break the maximum usable swap
offset check.  Happily, they all follow the same tradition of encoding
offset above type, but I'll prepare a check on that for next.

Fix up trivial conflict in mm/Makefile due to removal of swap token code
changing a line next to the new frontswap entry.

This pull request came in before the merge window even opened, it got
delayed to after the merge window by me just wanting to make sure it had
actual users.  Apparently IBM is using this on their embedded side, and
Jan Beulich says that it's already made available for SLES and OpenSUSE
users.

Also acked by Rik van Riel, and Konrad points to other people liking it
too.  So in it goes.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 4b91355e9d memcg: fix/change behavior of shared anon at moving task
This patch changes memcg's behavior at task_move().

At task_move(), the kernel scans a task's page table and move the changes
for mapped pages from source cgroup to target cgroup.  There has been a
bug at handling shared anonymous pages for a long time.

Before patch:
  - The spec says 'shared anonymous pages are not moved.'
  - The implementation was 'shared anonymoys pages may be moved'.
    If page_mapcount <=2, shared anonymous pages's charge were moved.

After patch:
  - The spec says 'all anonymous pages are moved'.
  - The implementation is 'all anonymous pages are moved'.

Considering usage of memcg, this will not affect user's experience.
'shared anonymous' pages only exists between a tree of processes which
don't do exec().  Moving one of process without exec() seems not sane.
For example, libcgroup will not be affected by this change.  (Anyway, no
one noticed the implementation for a long time...)

Below is a discussion log:

 - current spec/implementation are complex
 - Now, shared file caches are moved
 - It adds unclear check as page_mapcount(). To do correct check,
   we should check swap users, etc.
 - No one notice this implementation behavior. So, no one get benefit
   from the design.
 - In general, once task is moved to a cgroup for running, it will not
   be moved....
 - Finally, we have control knob as memory.move_charge_at_immigrate.

Here is a patch to allow moving shared pages, completely. This makes
memcg simpler and fix current broken code.

Hugh Dickins bde05d1ccd shmem: replace page if mapping excludes its zone
The GMA500 GPU driver uses GEM shmem objects, but with a new twist: the
backing RAM has to be below 4GB.  Not a problem while the boards
supported only 4GB: but now Intel's D2700MUD boards support 8GB, and
their GMA3600 is managed by the GMA500 driver.

shmem/tmpfs has never pretended to support hardware restrictions on the
backing memory, but it might have appeared to do so before v3.1, and
even now it works fine until a page is swapped out then back in.  When
read_cache_page_gfp() supplied a freshly allocated page for copy, that
compensated for whatever choice might have been made by earlier swapin
readahead; but swapoff was likely to destroy the illusion.

We'd like to continue to support GMA500, so now add a new
shmem_should_replace_page() check on the zone when about to move a page
from swapcache to filecache (in swapin and swapoff cases), with
shmem_replace_page() to allocate and substitute a suitable page (given
gma500/gem.c's mapping_set_gfp_mask GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_DMA32).

This does involve a minor extension to mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache()
(the page may or may not have already been charged); and I've removed a
comment and call to mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page(), which in fact is
always a no-op while PageSwapCache.

Also removed optimization of an unlikely path in shmem_getpage_gfp(),
now that we need to check PageSwapCache more carefully (a racing caller
might already have made the copy).  And at one point shmem_unuse_inode()
needs to use the hitherto private page_swapcount(), to guard against
racing with inode eviction.

It would make sense to extend shmem_should_replace_page(), to cover
cpuset and NUMA mempolicy restrictions too, but set that aside for now:
needs a cleanup of shmem mempolicy handling, and more testing, and ought
to handle swap faults in do_swap_page() as well as shmem.

Dan Magenheimer 38b5faf4b1 mm: frontswap: core swap subsystem hooks and headers
This patch, 2of4, contains the changes to the core swap subsystem.
This includes:

(1) makes available core swap data structures (swap_lock, swap_list and
swap_info) that are needed by frontswap.c but we don't need to expose them
to the dozens of files that include swap.h so we create a new swapfile.h
just to extern-ify these and modify their declarations to non-static

(2) adds frontswap-related elements to swap_info_struct.  Frontswap_map
points to vzalloc'ed one-bit-per-swap-page metadata that indicates
whether the swap page is in frontswap or in the device and frontswap_pages
counts how many pages are in frontswap.

(3) adds hooks in the swap subsystem and extends try_to_unuse so that
frontswap_shrink can do a "partial swapoff".

Note that a failed frontswap_map allocation is safe... failure is noted
by lack of "FS" in the subsequent printk.

Hugh Dickins d15cab9754 swapon: check validity of swap_flags
Most system calls taking flags first check that the flags passed in are
valid, and that helps userspace to detect when new flags are supported.

But swapon never did so: start checking now, to help if we ever want to
support more swap_flags in future.

It's difficult to get stray bits set in an int, and swapon is not widely
used, so this is most unlikely to break any userspace; but we can just
revert if it turns out to do so.

When swapon() was not passed the SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD option, sys_swapon()
will still perform a discard operation.  This can cause problems if
discard is slow or buggy.

Reverse the order of the check so that a discard operation is performed

Rik van Riel 67f96aa252 mm: make swapin readahead skip over holes
Ever since abandoning the virtual scan of processes, for scalability
reasons, swap space has been a little more fragmented than before.  This
can lead to the situation where a large memory user is killed, swap space
ends up full of "holes" and swapin readahead is totally ineffective.

On my home system, after killing a leaky firefox it took over an hour to
page just under 2GB of memory back in, slowing the virtual machines down
to a crawl.

This patch makes swapin readahead simply skip over holes, instead of
stopping at them.  This allows the system to swap things back in at rates
of several MB/second, instead of a few hundred kB/second.

The checks done in valid_swaphandles are already done in
read_swap_cache_async as well, allowing us to remove a fair amount of
code.

Andrea Arcangeli 1a5a9906d4 mm: thp: fix pmd_bad() triggering in code paths holding mmap_sem read mode
In some cases it may happen that pmd_none_or_clear_bad() is called with
the mmap_sem hold in read mode.  In those cases the huge page faults can
allocate hugepmds under pmd_none_or_clear_bad() and that can trigger a
false positive from pmd_bad() that will not like to see a pmd
materializing as trans huge.

It's not khugepaged causing the problem, khugepaged holds the mmap_sem
in write mode (and all those sites must hold the mmap_sem in read mode
to prevent pagetables to go away from under them, during code review it
seems vm86 mode on 32bit kernels requires that too unless it's
restricted to 1 thread per process or UP builds).  The race is only with
the huge pagefaults that can convert a pmd_none() into a
pmd_trans_huge().

Effectively all these pmd_none_or_clear_bad() sites running with
mmap_sem in read mode are somewhat speculative with the page faults, and
the result is always undefined when they run simultaneously.  This is
probably why it wasn't common to run into this.  For example if the
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) runs zap_page_range() shortly before the page
fault, the hugepage will not be zapped, if the page fault runs first it
will be zapped.

Altering pmd_bad() not to error out if it finds hugepmds won't be enough
to fix this, because zap_pmd_range would then proceed to call
zap_pte_range (which would be incorrect if the pmd become a
pmd_trans_huge()).

The simplest way to fix this is to read the pmd in the local stack
(regardless of what we read, no need of actual CPU barriers, only
compiler barrier needed), and be sure it is not changing under the code
that computes its value.  Even if the real pmd is changing under the
value we hold on the stack, we don't care.  If we actually end up in
zap_pte_range it means the pmd was not none already and it was not huge,
and it can't become huge from under us (khugepaged locking explained
above).

All we need is to enforce that there is no way anymore that in a code
path like below, pmd_trans_huge can be false, but pmd_none_or_clear_bad
can run into a hugepmd.  The overhead of a barrier() is just a compiler
tweak and should not be measurable (I only added it for THP builds).  I
don't exclude different compiler versions may have prevented the race
too by caching the value of *pmd on the stack (that hasn't been
verified, but it wouldn't be impossible considering
pmd_none_or_clear_bad, pmd_bad, pmd_trans_huge, pmd_none are all inlines
and there's no external function called in between pmd_trans_huge and
pmd_none_or_clear_bad).

		if (pmd_trans_huge(*pmd)) {
			if (next-addr != HPAGE_PMD_SIZE) {
				VM_BUG_ON(!rwsem_is_locked(&tlb->mm->mmap_sem));
				split_huge_page_pmd(vma->vm_mm, pmd);
			} else if (zap_huge_pmd(tlb, vma, pmd, addr))
				continue;
			/* fall through */
		}
		if (pmd_none_or_clear_bad(pmd))

Because this race condition could be exercised without special
privileges this was reported in CVE-2012-1179.

The race was identified and fully explained by Ulrich who debugged it.
I'm quoting his accurate explanation below, for reference.

====== start quote =======
      mapcount 0 page_mapcount 1
      kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:1384!

    At some point prior to the panic, a "bad pmd ..." message similar to the
    following is logged on the console:

      mm/memory.c:145: bad pmd ffff8800376e1f98(80000000314000e7).

    The "bad pmd ..." message is logged by pmd_clear_bad() before it clears
    the page's PMD table entry.

        143 void pmd_clear_bad(pmd_t *pmd)
        144 {
    ->  145         pmd_ERROR(*pmd);
        146         pmd_clear(pmd);
        147 }

    After the PMD table entry has been cleared, there is an inconsistency
    between the actual number of PMD table entries that are mapping the page
    and the page's map count (_mapcount field in struct page). When the page
    is subsequently reclaimed, __split_huge_page() detects this inconsistency.

       1381         if (mapcount != page_mapcount(page))
       1382                 printk(KERN_ERR "mapcount %d page_mapcount %d\n",
       1383                        mapcount, page_mapcount(page));
    -> 1384         BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page));

    The root cause of the problem is a race of two threads in a multithreaded
    process. Thread B incurs a page fault on a virtual address that has never
    been accessed (PMD entry is zero) while Thread A is executing an madvise()
    system call on a virtual address within the same 2 MB (huge page) range.

Mel Gorman f90ac3982a mm: avoid livelock on !__GFP_FS allocations
Colin Cross reported;

  Under the following conditions, __alloc_pages_slowpath can loop forever:
  gfp_mask & __GFP_WAIT is true
  gfp_mask & __GFP_FS is false
  reclaim and compaction make no progress
  order <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER

  These conditions happen very often during suspend and resume,
  when pm_restrict_gfp_mask() effectively converts all GFP_KERNEL
  allocations into __GFP_WAIT.

  The oom killer is not run because gfp_mask & __GFP_FS is false,
  but should_alloc_retry will always return true when order is less
  than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.

In his fix, he avoided retrying the allocation if reclaim made no progress
and __GFP_FS was not set.  The problem is that this would result in
GFP_NOIO allocations failing that previously succeeded which would be very
unfortunate.

The big difference between GFP_NOIO and suspend converting GFP_KERNEL to
behave like GFP_NOIO is that normally flushers will be cleaning pages and
kswapd reclaims pages allowing GFP_NOIO to succeed after a short delay.
The same does not necessarily apply during suspend as the storage device
may be suspended.

This patch special cases the suspend case to fail the page allocation if
reclaim cannot make progress and adds some documentation on how
gfp_allowed_mask is currently used.  Failing allocations like this may
cause suspend to abort but that is better than a livelock.

David Rientjes 43362a4977 oom: fix race while temporarily setting current's oom_score_adj
test_set_oom_score_adj() was introduced in 72788c3856 ("oom: replace
PF_OOM_ORIGIN with toggling oom_score_adj") to temporarily elevate
current's oom_score_adj for ksm and swapoff without requiring an
additional per-process flag.

Using that function to both set oom_score_adj to OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX and
then reinstate the previous value is racy since it's possible that
userspace can set the value to something else itself before the old value
is reinstated.  That results in userspace setting current's oom_score_adj
to a different value and then the kernel immediately setting it back to
its previous value without notification.

To fix this, a new compare_swap_oom_score_adj() function is introduced
with the same semantics as the compare and swap CAS instruction, or
CMPXCHG on x86.  It is used to reinstate the previous value of
oom_score_adj if and only if the present value is the same as the old
value.

Hugh Dickins a2c16d6cb0 mm: let swap use exceptional entries
If swap entries are to be stored along with struct page pointers in a
radix tree, they need to be distinguished as exceptional entries.

Most of the handling of swap entries in radix tree will be contained in
shmem.c, but a few functions in filemap.c's common code need to check
for their appearance: find_get_page(), find_lock_page(),
find_get_pages() and find_get_pages_contig().

So as not to slow their fast paths, tuck those checks inside the
existing checks for unlikely radix_tree_deref_slot(); except for
find_lock_page(), where it is an added test.  And make it a BUG in
find_get_pages_tag(), which is not applied to tmpfs files.

A part of the reason for eliminating shmem_readpage() earlier, was to
minimize the places where common code would need to allow for swap
entries.

The swp_entry_t known to swapfile.c must be massaged into a slightly
different form when stored in the radix tree, just as it gets massaged
into a pte_t when stored in page tables.

In an i386 kernel this limits its information (type and page offset) to
30 bits: given 32 "types" of swapfile and 4kB pagesize, that's a maximum
swapfile size of 128GB.  Which is less than the 512GB we previously
allowed with X86_PAE (where the swap entry can occupy the entire upper
32 bits of a pte_t), but not a new limitation on 32-bit without PAE; and
there's not a new limitation on 64-bit (where swap filesize is already
limited to 16TB by a 32-bit page offset).  Thirty areas of 128GB is
probably still enough swap for a 64GB 32-bit machine.

Provide swp_to_radix_entry() and radix_to_swp_entry() conversions, and
enforce filesize limit in read_swap_header(), just as for ptes.

David Rientjes 72788c3856 oom: replace PF_OOM_ORIGIN with toggling oom_score_adj
There's a kernel-wide shortage of per-process flags, so it's always
helpful to trim one when possible without incurring a significant penalty.
 It's even more important when you're planning on adding a per- process
flag yourself, which I plan to do shortly for transparent hugepages.

PF_OOM_ORIGIN is used by ksm and swapoff to prefer current since it has a
tendency to allocate large amounts of memory and should be preferred for
killing over other tasks.  We'd rather immediately kill the task making
the errant syscall rather than penalizing an innocent task.

This patch removes PF_OOM_ORIGIN since its behavior is equivalent to
setting the process's oom_score_adj to OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX.

The process's old oom_score_adj is stored and then set to
OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX during the time it used to have PF_OOM_ORIGIN.  The old
value is then reinstated when the process should no longer be considered a
high priority for oom killing.

Cesar Eduardo Barros 2130781e2a sys_swapon: fix inode locking
A conflict between 52c50567d8 ("mm: swap: unlock swapfile inode mutex
before closing file on bad swapfiles") and 83ef99befc ("sys_swapon:
remove did_down variable") caused a double unlock of the inode mutex
(once in bad_swap: before the filp_close, once at the end just before
returning).

The patch which added the extra unlock cleared did_down to avoid
unlocking twice, but the other patch removed the did_down variable.

To fix, set inode to NULL after the first unlock, since it will be used
after that point only for the final unlock.

While checking this patch, I found a path which could unlock without
locking, in case the same inode was added as a swapfile twice. To fix,
move the setting of the inode variable further down, to just before
claim_swapfile, which will lock the inode before doing anything else.

scan_swap_map() is a large function (224 lines), with several loops and a
complex control flow involving several gotos.

Given all that, it is a bit silly that it is marked as inline.  The
compiler agrees with me: on a x86-64 compile, it did not inline the
function.

Remove the "inline" and let the compiler decide instead.

swap_info_struct and to swap_list is the same as the block which
re-inserts it again at sys_swapoff on failure of try_to_unuse(). To be
able to make both share the same code, move the printk() call in the
middle of it to just after it.

Cesar Eduardo Barros 1421ef3cd1 sys_swapon: call swap_cgroup_swapon() earlier
The call to swap_cgroup_swapon is in the middle of loading the swap map
and extents. As it only does memory allocation and does not depend on
the swapfile layout (map/extents), it can be called earlier (or later).

Move it to just after the allocation of swap_map, since it is
conceptually similar (allocates a map).

Move the setting of S_SWAPFILE to just before the "goto out;" to make

Cesar Eduardo Barros 803d0c8351 sys_swapon: use vzalloc() instead of vmalloc/memset
This patch series refactors the sys_swapon function.

sys_swapon is currently a very large function, with 313 lines (more than
12 25-line screens), which can make it a bit hard to read. This patch
series reduces this size by half, by extracting large chunks of related
code to new helper functions.

One of these chunks of code was nearly identical to the part of
sys_swapoff which is used in case of a failure return from
try_to_unuse(), so this patch series also makes both share the same
code.

As a side effect of all this refactoring, the compiled code gets a bit
smaller (from v1 of this patch series):

   text       data        bss        dec        hex    filename
  14012        944        276      15232       3b80    mm/swapfile.o.before
  13941        944        276      15161       3b39    mm/swapfile.o.after

This patch:

Use vzalloc() instead of vmalloc/memset.

Mel Gorman 52c50567d8 mm: swap: unlock swapfile inode mutex before closing file on bad swapfiles
If an administrator tries to swapon a file backed by NFS, the inode mutex is
taken (as it is for any swapfile) but later identified to be a bad swapfile
due to the lack of bmap and tries to cleanup. During cleanup, an attempt is
made to close the file but with inode->i_mutex still held. Closing an NFS
file syncs it which tries to acquire the inode mutex leading to deadlock. If
lockdep is enabled the following appears on the console;

    =============================================
    [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]

This patch releases the mutex if its held before calling filep_close()
so swapon fails as expected without deadlock when the swapfile is backed
by NFS.  If accepted for 2.6.39, it should also be considered a -stable
candidate for 2.6.38 and 2.6.37.

Andrea Arcangeli 3f04f62f90 thp: split_huge_page paging
Paging logic that splits the page before it is unmapped and added to swap
to ensure backwards compatibility with the legacy swap code.  Eventually
swap should natively pageout the hugepages to increase performance and
decrease seeking and fragmentation of swap space.  swapoff can just skip
over huge pmd as they cannot be part of swap yet.  In add_to_swap be
careful to split the page only if we got a valid swap entry so we don't
split hugepages with a full swap.

In theory we could split pages before isolating them during the lru scan,
but for khugepaged to be safe, I'm relying on either mmap_sem write mode,
or PG_lock taken, so split_huge_page has to run either with mmap_sem
read/write mode or PG_lock taken.  Calling it from isolate_lru_page would
make locking more complicated, in addition to that split_huge_page would
deadlock if called by __isolate_lru_page because it has to take the lru
lock to add the tail pages.

Tejun Heo e525fd89d3 block: make blkdev_get/put() handle exclusive access
Over time, block layer has accumulated a set of APIs dealing with bdev
open, close, claim and release.

* blkdev_get/put() are the primary open and close functions.

* bd_claim/release() deal with exclusive open.

* open/close_bdev_exclusive() are combination of open and claim and
  the other way around, respectively.

* bd_link/unlink_disk_holder() to create and remove holder/slave
  symlinks.

* open_by_devnum() wraps bdget() + blkdev_get().

The interface is a bit confusing and the decoupling of open and claim
makes it impossible to properly guarantee exclusive access as
in-kernel open + claim sequence can disturb the existing exclusive
open even before the block layer knows the current open if for another
exclusive access.  Reorganize the interface such that,

* blkdev_get() is extended to include exclusive access management.
  @holder argument is added and, if is @FMODE_EXCL specified, it will
  gain exclusive access atomically w.r.t. other exclusive accesses.

* blkdev_put() is similarly extended.  It now takes @mode argument and
  if @FMODE_EXCL is set, it releases an exclusive access.  Also, when
  the last exclusive claim is released, the holder/slave symlinks are
  removed automatically.

* bd_claim/release() and close_bdev_exclusive() are no longer
  necessary and either made static or removed.

* bd_link_disk_holder() remains the same but bd_unlink_disk_holder()
  is no longer necessary and removed.

* open_bdev_exclusive() becomes a simple wrapper around lookup_bdev()
  and blkdev_get().  It also has an unexpected extra bdev_read_only()
  test which probably should be moved into blkdev_get().

* open_by_devnum() is modified to take @holder argument and pass it to
  blkdev_get().

Most of bdev open/close operations are unified into blkdev_get/put()
and most exclusive accesses are tested atomically at the open time (as
it should).  This cleans up code and removes some, both valid and
invalid, but unnecessary all the same, corner cases.

open_bdev_exclusive() and open_by_devnum() can use further cleanup -
rename to blkdev_get_by_path() and blkdev_get_by_devt() and drop
special features.  Well, let's leave them for another day.

Most conversions are straight-forward.  drbd conversion is a bit more
involved as there was some reordering, but the logic should stay the
same.

Christoph Hellwig dd3932eddf block: remove BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT
All the blkdev_issue_* helpers can only sanely be used for synchronous
caller.  To issue cache flushes or barriers asynchronously the caller needs
to set up a bio by itself with a completion callback to move the asynchronous
state machine ahead.  So drop the BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag that is always
specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags
argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout.  For
blkdev_issue_discard we need to keep it for the secure discard flag, which
gains a more descriptive name and loses the bitops vs flag confusion.

Hugh Dickins 3399446632 swap: discard while swapping only if SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD
Tests with recent firmware on Intel X25-M 80GB and OCZ Vertex 60GB SSDs
show a shift since I last tested in December: in part because of firmware
updates, in part because of the necessary move from barriers to awaiting
completion at the block layer.  While discard at swapon still shows as
slightly beneficial on both, discarding 1MB swap cluster when allocating
is now disadvanteous: adds 25% overhead on Intel, adds 230% on OCZ (YMMV).

Surrender: discard as presently implemented is more hindrance than help
for swap; but might prove useful on other devices, or with improvements.
So continue to do the discard at swapon, but make discard while swapping
conditional on a SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD to sys_swapon() (which has been using
only the lower 16 bits of int flags).

We can add a --discard or -d to swapon(8), and a "discard" to swap in
/etc/fstab: matching the mount option for btrfs, ext4, fat, gfs2, nilfs2.

Hugh Dickins b73d7fcecd swap: prevent reuse during hibernation
Move the hibernation check from scan_swap_map() into try_to_free_swap():
to catch not only the common case when hibernation's allocation itself
triggers swap reuse, but also the less likely case when concurrent page
reclaim (shrink_page_list) might happen to try_to_free_swap from a page.

Hibernation already clears __GFP_IO from the gfp_allowed_mask, to stop
reclaim from going to swap: check that to prevent swap reuse too.

Hugh Dickins 910321ea81 swap: revert special hibernation allocation
Please revert 2.6.36-rc commit d2997b1042
"hibernation: freeze swap at hibernation".  It complicated matters by
adding a second swap allocation path, just for hibernation; without in any
way fixing the issue that it was intended to address - page reclaim after
fixing the hibernation image might free swap from a page already imaged as
swapcache, letting its swap be reallocated to store a different page of
the image: resulting in data corruption if the imaged page were freed as
clean then swapped back in.  Pages freed to si->swap_map were still in
danger of being reallocated by the alternative allocation path.

I guess it inadvertently fixed slow SSD swap allocation for hibernation,
as reported by Nigel Cunningham: by missing out the discards that occur on
the usual swap allocation path; but that was unintentional, and needs a
separate fix.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki d2997b1042 hibernation: freeze swap at hibernation
When taking a memory snapshot in hibernate_snapshot(), all (directly
called) memory allocations use GFP_ATOMIC.  Hence swap misusage during
hibernation never occurs.

But from a pessimistic point of view, there is no guarantee that no page
allcation has __GFP_WAIT.  It is better to have a global indication "we
enter hibernation, don't use swap!".

This patch tries to freeze new-swap-allocation during hibernation.  (All
user processes are frozenm so swapin is not a concern).

This way, no updates will happen to swap_map[] between
hibernate_snapshot() and save_image().  Swap is thawed when swsusp_free()
is called.  We can be assured that swap corruption will not occur.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 966cca029f mm: fix corruption of hibernation caused by reusing swap during image saving
Since 2.6.31, swap_map[]'s refcounting was changed to show that a used
swap entry is just for swap-cache, can be reused.  Then, while scanning
free entry in swap_map[], a swap entry may be able to be reclaimed and
reused.  It was caused by commit c9e444103b ("mm: reuse unused swap
entry if necessary").

But this caused deta corruption at resume. The scenario is

- Assume a clean-swap cache, but mapped.

- at hibernation_snapshot[], clean-swap-cache is saved as
  clean-swap-cache and swap_map[] is marked as SWAP_HAS_CACHE.

- then, save_image() is called.  And reuse SWAP_HAS_CACHE entry to save
  image, and break the contents.

After resume:

- the memory reclaim runs and finds clean-not-referenced-swap-cache and
  discards it because it's marked as clean.  But here, the contents on
  disk and swap-cache is inconsistent.

Hance memory is corrupted.

This patch avoids the bug by not reclaiming swap-entry during hibernation.
This is a quick fix for backporting.

This callback is required when RAM based devices are used as swap disks.
One such device is ramzswap which is used as compressed in-memory swap
disk.  For such devices, we need a callback as soon as a swap slot is no

callback, stale data can quickly accumulate in memory defeating the whole
purpose of such devices.

Daisuke Nishimura 024914477e memcg: move charges of anonymous swap
This patch is another core part of this move-charge-at-task-migration
feature.  It enables moving charges of anonymous swaps.

To move the charge of swap, we need to exchange swap_cgroup's record.

In current implementation, swap_cgroup's record is protected by:

  - page lock: if the entry is on swap cache.
  - swap_lock: if the entry is not on swap cache.

This works well in usual swap-in/out activity.

But this behavior make the feature of moving swap charge check many
conditions to exchange swap_cgroup's record safely.

So I changed modification of swap_cgroup's recored(swap_cgroup_record())
to use xchg, and define a new function to cmpxchg swap_cgroup's record.

This patch also enables moving charge of non pte_present but not uncharged
swap caches, which can be exist on swap-out path, by getting the target
pages via find_get_page() as do_mincore() does.

Hugh Dickins ad2bd7e0e9 mm/swapfile.c: fix swapon size off-by-one
There's an off-by-one disagreement between mkswap and swapon about the
meaning of swap_header last_page: mkswap (in all versions I've looked at:
util-linux-ng and BusyBox and old util-linux; probably as far back as
1999) consistently means the offset (in page units) of the last page of
the swap area, whereas kernel sys_swapon (as far back as 2.2 and 2.3)
strangely takes it to mean the size (in page units) of the swap area.

This disagreement is the safe way round; but it's worrying people, and
loses us one page of swap.

The fix is not just to add one to nr_good_pages: we need to get maxpages
(the size of the swap_map array) right before that; and though that is an
unsigned long, be careful not to overflow the unsigned int p->max which
later holds it (probably why header uses __u32 last_page instead of size).

Why did we subtract one from the maximum swp_offset to calculate maxpages?
 Though it was probably me who made that change in 2.4.10, I don't get it:
and now we should be adding one (without risk of overflow in this case).

Fix the handling of swap_header badpages: it could have overrun the
swap_map when very large swap area used on a more limited architecture.

Remove pre-initializations of swap_header, nr_good_pages and maxpages:
those date from when sys_swapon was supporting other versions of header.

A frequent questions from users about memory management is what numbers of
swap ents are user for processes.  And this information will give some
hints to oom-killer.

Besides we can count the number of swapents per a process by scanning
/proc/<pid>/smaps, this is very slow and not good for usual process
information handler which works like 'ps' or 'top'.  (ps or top is now
enough slow..)

Hugh Dickins 5ad6468801 ksm: let shared pages be swappable
Initial implementation for swapping out KSM's shared pages: add
page_referenced_ksm() and try_to_unmap_ksm(), which rmap.c calls when
faced with a PageKsm page.

Most of what's needed can be got from the rmap_items listed from the
stable_node of the ksm page, without discovering the actual vma: so in
this patch just fake up a struct vma for page_referenced_one() or
try_to_unmap_one(), then refine that in the next patch.

Add VM_NONLINEAR to ksm_madvise()'s list of exclusions: it has always been
implicit there (being only set with VM_SHARED, already excluded), but
let's make it explicit, to help justify the lack of nonlinear unmap.

Rely on the page lock to protect against concurrent modifications to that
page's node of the stable tree.

The awkward part is not swapout but swapin: do_swap_page() and
page_add_anon_rmap() now have to allow for new possibilities - perhaps a
ksm page still in swapcache, perhaps a swapcache page associated with one
location in one anon_vma now needed for another location or anon_vma.
(And the vma might even be no longer VM_MERGEABLE when that happens.)

ksm_might_need_to_copy() checks for that case, and supplies a duplicate
page when necessary, simply leaving it to a subsequent pass of ksmd to
rediscover the identity and merge them back into one ksm page.
Disappointingly primitive: but the alternative would have to accumulate
unswappable info about the swapped out ksm pages, limiting swappability.

Remove page_add_ksm_rmap(): page_add_anon_rmap() now has to allow for the
particular case it was handling, so just use it instead.

Hugh Dickins 3ca7b3c5b6 mm: define PAGE_MAPPING_FLAGS
At present we define PageAnon(page) by the low PAGE_MAPPING_ANON bit set
in page->mapping, with the higher bits a pointer to the anon_vma; and have
defined PageKsm(page) as that with NULL anon_vma.

But KSM swapping will need to store a pointer there: so in preparation for
that, now define PAGE_MAPPING_FLAGS as the low two bits, including
PAGE_MAPPING_KSM (always set along with PAGE_MAPPING_ANON, until some
other use for the bit emerges).

Declare page_rmapping(page) to return the pointer part of page->mapping,
and page_anon_vma(page) to return the anon_vma pointer when that's what it
is.  Use these in a few appropriate places: notably, unuse_vma() has been
testing page->mapping, but is better to be testing page_anon_vma() (cases
may be added in which flag bits are set without any pointer).

Lee Schermerhorn d4906e1aa5 swap: rework map_swap_page() again
Seems that page_io.c doesn't really need to know that page_private(page)
is the swp_entry 'val'.  Rework map_swap_page() to do what its name says
and map a page to a page offset in the swap space.

The only other caller of map_swap_page() is internal to mm/swapfile.c and
it does want to map a swap entry to the 'sector'.  So rename
map_swap_page() to map_swap_entry(), make it 'static' and and implement
map_swap_page() as a wrapper around that.

Hugh Dickins 570a335b8e swap_info: swap count continuations
Swap is duplicated (reference count incremented by one) whenever the same
swap page is inserted into another mm (when forking finds a swap entry in
place of a pte, or when reclaim unmaps a pte to insert the swap entry).

swap_info_struct's vmalloc'ed swap_map is the array of these reference
counts: but what happens when the unsigned short (or unsigned char since
the preceding patch) is full? (and its high bit is kept for a cache flag)

We then lose track of it, never freeing, leaving it in use until swapoff:
at which point we _hope_ that a single pass will have found all instances,
assume there are no more, and will lose user data if we're wrong.

Swapping of KSM pages has not yet been enabled; but it is implemented,
and makes it very easy for a user to overflow the maximum swap count:
possible with ordinary process pages, but unlikely, even when pid_max
has been raised from PID_MAX_DEFAULT.

This patch implements swap count continuations: when the count overflows,
a continuation page is allocated and linked to the original vmalloc'ed
map page, and this used to hold the continuation counts for that entry
and its neighbours.  These continuation pages are seldom referenced:
the common paths all work on the original swap_map, only referring to
a continuation page when the low "digit" of a count is incremented or
decremented through SWAP_MAP_MAX.

Use the (admittedly peculiar) name "type" throughout for this index.

Bo Liu 32c5fc10e7 mm: remove incorrect swap_count() from try_to_unuse()
In try_to_unuse(), swcount is a local copy of *swap_map, including the
SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit; but a wrong comparison against swap_count(*swap_map),
which masks off the SWAP_HAS_CACHE bit, succeeded where it should fail.

That had the effect of resetting the mm from which to start searching
for the next swap page, to an irrelevant mm instead of to an mm in which
this swap page had been found: which may increase search time by ~20%.
But we're used to swapoff being slow, so never noticed the slowdown.

Remove that one spurious use of swap_count(): Bo Liu thought it merely
redundant, Hugh rewrote the description since it was measurably wrong.

While testing Swap over NFS patchset, I noticed an oops that was triggered
during swapon. Investigating further, the NULL pointer deference is due to the
SSD device check/optimization in the swapon code that assumes s_bdev could never
be NULL.

inode->i_sb->s_bdev could be NULL in a few cases. For e.g. one such case is
loopback NFS mount, there could be others as well. Fix this by ensuring s_bdev
is not NULL before we try to deference s_bdev.

Hugh Dickins 35451beecb ksm: unmerge is an origin of OOMs
Just as the swapoff system call allocates many pages of RAM to various
processes, perhaps triggering OOM, so "echo 2 >/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run"
(unmerge) is liable to allocate many pages of RAM to various processes,
perhaps triggering OOM; and each is normally run from a modest admin
process (swapoff or shell), easily repeated until it succeeds.

So treat unmerge_and_remove_all_rmap_items() in the same way that we treat
try_to_unuse(): generalize PF_SWAPOFF to PF_OOM_ORIGIN, and bracket both
with that, to ask the OOM killer to kill them first, to prevent them from
spawning more and more OOM kills.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 8a9478ca7f memcg: fix swap accounting
This patch fixes mis-accounting of swap usage in memcg.

In the current implementation, memcg's swap account is uncharged only when
swap is completely freed.  But there are several cases where swap cannot
be freed cleanly.  For handling that, this patch changes that memcg
uncharges swap account when swap has no references other than cache.

By this, memcg's swap entry accounting can be fully synchronous with the
application's behavior.

This patch also changes memcg's hooks for swap-out.

without looking up swap cache.

Then, we have a chance to reuse swap-cache-only swap entries in

This patch tries to free swap-cache-only swap entries if swap is not
enough.

Note: We hit following path when swap_cluster code cannot find a free
cluster.  Then, vm_swap_full() is not only condition to allow the kernel
to reclaim unused swap.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 355cfa73dd mm: modify swap_map and add SWAP_HAS_CACHE flag
This is a part of the patches for fixing memcg's swap accountinf leak.
But, IMHO, not a bad patch even if no memcg.

There are 2 kinds of references to swap.
 - reference from swap entry
 - reference from swap cache

Then,

 - If there is swap cache && swap's refcnt is 1, there is only swap cache.
  (*) swapcount(entry) == 1 && find_get_page(swapper_space, entry) != NULL

This counting logic have worked well for a long time.  But considering
that we cannot know there is a _real_ reference or not by swap_map[],
current usage of counter is not very good.

This patch adds a flag SWAP_HAS_CACHE and recored information that a swap
entry has a cache or not.  This will remove -1 magic used in swapfile.c
and be a help to avoid unnecessary find_get_page().

Alan Jenkins a1bb7d6123 PM/hibernate: fix "swap breaks after hibernation failures"
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12239

The image writing code dropped a reference to the current swap device.
This doesn't show up if the hibernation succeeds - because it doesn't
affect the image which gets resumed.  But it means multiple _failed_
hibernations end up freeing the swap device while it is still use!

swsusp_write() finds the block device for the swap file using swap_type_of().
It then uses blkdev_get() / blkdev_put() to open and close the block device.

Unfortunately, blkdev_get() assumes ownership of the inode of the block_device
passed to it.  So blkdev_put() calls iput() on the inode.  This is by design
and other callers expect this behaviour.  The fix is for swap_type_of() to take
a reference on the inode using bdget().

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 8c7c6e34a1 memcg: mem+swap controller core
This patch implements per cgroup limit for usage of memory+swap.  However
there are SwapCache, double counting of swap-cache and swap-entry is
avoided.

Mem+Swap controller works as following.
  - memory usage is limited by memory.limit_in_bytes.
  - memory + swap usage is limited by memory.memsw_limit_in_bytes.

This has following benefits.
  - A user can limit total resource usage of mem+swap.

    Without this, because memory resource controller doesn't take care of
    usage of swap, a process can exhaust all the swap (by memory leak.)
    We can avoid this case.

    And Swap is shared resource but it cannot be reclaimed (goes back to memory)
    until it's used. This characteristic can be trouble when the memory
    is divided into some parts by cpuset or memcg.
    Assume group A and group B.
    After some application executes, the system can be..

    Group A -- very large free memory space but occupy 99% of swap.
    Group B -- under memory shortage but cannot use swap...it's nearly full.

    Ability to set appropriate swap limit for each group is required.

Maybe someone wonder "why not swap but mem+swap ?"

  - The global LRU(kswapd) can swap out arbitrary pages. Swap-out means
    to move account from memory to swap...there is no change in usage of
    mem+swap.

    In other words, when we want to limit the usage of swap without affecting
    global LRU, mem+swap limit is better than just limiting swap.

Accounting target information is stored in swap_cgroup which is
per swap entry record.

Charge is done as following.
  map
    - charge  page and memsw.

  unmap
    - uncharge page/memsw if not SwapCache.

  swap-out (__delete_from_swap_cache)
    - uncharge page
    - record mem_cgroup information to swap_cgroup.

  swap-in (do_swap_page)
    - charged as page and memsw.
      record in swap_cgroup is cleared.
      memsw accounting is decremented.

  swap-free (swap_free())
    - if swap entry is freed, memsw is uncharged by PAGE_SIZE.

There are people work under never-swap environments and consider swap as
something bad. For such people, this mem+swap controller extension is just an
overhead.  This overhead is avoided by config or boot option.
(see Kconfig. detail is not in this patch.)

TODO:
 - maybe more optimization can be don in swap-in path. (but not very safe.)
   But we just do simple accounting at this stage.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 27a7faa077 memcg: swap cgroup for remembering usage
For accounting swap, we need a record per swap entry, at least.

This patch adds following function.
  - swap_cgroup_swapon() .... called from swapon
  - swap_cgroup_swapoff() ... called at the end of swapoff.

  - swap_cgroup_record() .... record information of swap entry.
  - swap_cgroup_lookup() .... lookup information of swap entry.

This patch just implements "how to record information".  No actual method
for limit the usage of swap.  These routine uses flat table to record and
lookup.  "wise" lookup system like radix-tree requires requires memory
allocation at new records but swap-out is usually called under memory
shortage (or memcg hits limit.) So, I used static allocation.  (maybe
dynamic allocation is not very hard but it adds additional memory
allocation in memory shortage path.)

Note1: In this, we use pointer to record information and this means
      8bytes per swap entry. I think we can reduce this when we
      create "id of cgroup" in the range of 0-65535 or 0-255.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki bced0520fe memcg: fix gfp_mask of callers of charge
Fix misuse of gfp_kernel.

Now, most of callers of mem_cgroup_charge_xxx functions uses GFP_KERNEL.

I think that this is from the fact that page_cgroup *was* dynamically
allocated.

But now, we allocate all page_cgroup at boot.  And
mem_cgroup_try_to_free_pages() reclaim memory from GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE +
specified GFP_RECLAIM_MASK.

  * This is because we just want to reduce memory usage.
    "Where we should reclaim from ?" is not a problem in memcg.

This patch modifies gfp masks to be GFP_HIGUSER_MOVABLE if possible.

Note: This patch is not for fixing behavior but for showing sane information
      in source code.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 7a81b88cb5 memcg: introduce charge-commit-cancel style of functions
There is a small race in do_swap_page().  When the page swapped-in is
charged, the mapcount can be greater than 0.  But, at the same time some
process (shares it ) call unmap and make mapcount 1->0 and the page is
uncharged.

      CPUA 			CPUB
       mapcount == 1.
   (1) charge if mapcount==0     zap_pte_range()
                                (2) mapcount 1 => 0.
			        (3) uncharge(). (success)
   (4) set page's rmap()
       mapcount 0=>1

Then, this swap page's account is leaked.

For fixing this, I added a new interface.
  - charge
   account to res_counter by PAGE_SIZE and try to free pages if necessary.
  - commit
   register page_cgroup and add to LRU if necessary.
  - cancel
   uncharge PAGE_SIZE because of do_swap_page failure.

     CPUA
  (1) charge (always)
  (2) set page's rmap (mapcount > 0)
  (3) commit charge was necessary or not after set_pte().

This protocol uses PCG_USED bit on page_cgroup for avoiding over accounting.
Usual mem_cgroup_charge_common() does charge -> commit at a time.

And this patch also adds following function to clarify all charges.

  - mem_cgroup_newpage_charge() ....replacement for mem_cgroup_charge()
	called against newly allocated anon pages.

  - mem_cgroup_charge_migrate_fixup()
        called only from remove_migration_ptes().
	we'll have to rewrite this later.(this patch just keeps old behavior)
	This function will be removed by additional patch to make migration
	clearer.

Good for clarifying "what we do"

Then, we have 4 following charge points.
  - newpage
  - swap-in
  - add-to-cache.
  - migration.

Hugh Dickins 2509ef26db badpage: zap print_bad_pte on swap and file
Complete zap_pte_range()'s coverage of bad pagetable entries by calling
print_bad_pte() on a pte_file in a linear vma and on a bad swap entry.
That needs free_swap_and_cache() to tell it, which will also have shown
one of those "swap_free" errors (but with much less information).

Similar checks in fork's copy_one_pte()?  No, that would be more noisy
than helpful: we'll see them when parent and child exec or exit.

Where do_nonlinear_fault() calls print_bad_pte(): omit !VM_CAN_NONLINEAR
case, that could only be a bug in sys_remap_file_pages(), not a bad pte.
VM_FAULT_OOM rather than VM_FAULT_SIGBUS?  Well, okay, that is consistent
with what happens if do_swap_page() operates a bad swap entry; but don't
we have patches to be more careful about killing when VM_FAULT_OOM?

Hugh Dickins c60aa176c6 swapfile: swap allocation cycle if nonrot
Though attempting to find free clusters (Andrea), swap allocation has
always restarted its searches from the beginning of the swap area (sct),
to reduce seek times between swap pages, by not scattering them all over
the partition.

But on a solidstate swap device, seeks are cheap, and block remapping to
level the wear may be limited by zones: in that case it's better to cycle
around the whole partition.

Hugh Dickins 20137a490f swapfile: swapon randomize if nonrot
Swap allocation has always started from the beginning of the swap area;
but if we're dealing with a solidstate swap device which can only remap
blocks within limited zones, that would sooner wear out the first zone.

Therefore sys_swapon() test whether blk_queue is non-rotational, and if so
randomize the cluster_next starting position for allocation.

If blk_queue is nonrot, note SWP_SOLIDSTATE for later use, and report it
with an "SS" at the right end of the kernel's "Adding ...  swap" message
(so that if it's both nonrot and discardable, "SSD" will be shown there).
Perhaps something should be shown in /proc/swaps (swapon -s), but we have
to be more cautious before making any addition to that format.

waste of cpu.

Before making functional changes, rearrange struct swap_info_struct
slightly: flags will be needed as an unsigned long (for wait_on_bit), next
is a good int to pair with prio, old_block_size is uninteresting so shift
it to the end.

I'd have liked to be specific, saying "Unable to find SWAPSPACE2

Hugh Dickins 68bdc8d647 mm: try_to_unuse check removing right swap
There's a possible race in try_to_unuse() which Nick Piggin led me to two
years ago.  Where it does lock_page() after read_swap_cache_async(), what
if another task removed that page from swapcache just before we locked it?

It would sail though the (*swap_map > 1) tests doing nothing (because it
could not have been removed from swapcache before its swap references were
gone), until it reaches the delete_from_swap_cache(page) near the bottom.

Now imagine that this page has been allocated to swap on a different swap
area while we dropped page lock (perhaps at the top, perhaps in unuse_mm):
we could wrongly remove from swap cache before the page has been written
to swap, so a subsequent do_swap_page() would read in stale data from
swap.

I think this case could not happen before: remove_exclusive_swap_page()
refused while page count was raised.  But now with reuse_swap_page() and
try_to_free_swap() removing from swap cache without minding page count, I
think it could happen - the previous patch argued that it was safe because
try_to_unuse() already ignored page count, but overlooked that it might be
breaking the assumptions in try_to_unuse() itself.

Hugh Dickins a2c43eed83 mm: try_to_free_swap replaces remove_exclusive_swap_page
remove_exclusive_swap_page(): its problem is in living up to its name.

It doesn't matter if someone else has a reference to the page (raised
page_count); it doesn't matter if the page is mapped into userspace
(raised page_mapcount - though that hints it may be worth keeping the
swap): all that matters is that there be no more references to the swap
(and no writeback in progress).

swapoff (try_to_unuse) has been removing pages from swapcache for years,
with no concern for page count or page mapcount, and we used to have a
comment in lookup_swap_cache() recognizing that: if you go for a page of
swapcache, you'll get the right page, but it could have been removed from
swapcache by the time you get page lock.

So, give up asking for exclusivity: get rid of
remove_exclusive_swap_page(), and remove_exclusive_swap_page_ref() and
remove_exclusive_swap_page_count() which were spawned for the recent LRU
work: replace them by the simpler try_to_free_swap() which just checks
page_swapcount().

Similarly, remove the page_count limitation from free_swap_and_count(),
but assume that it's worth holding on to the swap if page is mapped and
swap nowhere near full.  Add a vm_swap_full() test in free_swap_cache()?
It would be consistent, but I think we probably have enough for now.

Hugh Dickins 7b1fe59793 mm: reuse_swap_page replaces can_share_swap_page
A good place to free up old swap is where do_wp_page(), or do_swap_page(),
is about to redirty the page: the data on disk is then stale and won't be
read again; and if we do decide to write the page out later, using the
previous swap location makes an unnecessary disk seek very likely.

So give can_share_swap_page() the side-effect of delete_from_swap_cache()
when it safely can.  And can_share_swap_page() was always a misleading
name, the more so if it has a side-effect: rename it reuse_swap_page().

Irrelevant cleanup nearby: remove swap_token_default_timeout definition
from swap.h: it's used nowhere.

Hugh Dickins 51726b1222 mm: replace some BUG_ONs by VM_BUG_ONs
The swap code is over-provisioned with BUG_ONs on assorted page flags,
mostly dating back to 2.3.  They're good documentation, and guard against
developer error, but a waste of space on most systems: change them to
VM_BUG_ONs, conditional on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.  Just delete the PagePrivate
ones: they're later, from 2.5.69, but even less interesting now.

Jan Beulich 1796316a8b x86: consolidate __swp_XXX() macros
Impact: cleanup, code robustization

The __swp_...() macros silently relied upon which bits are used for
_PAGE_FILE and _PAGE_PROTNONE. After having changed _PAGE_PROTNONE in
our Xen kernel to no longer overlap _PAGE_PAT, live locks and crashes
were reported that could have been avoided if these macros properly
used the symbolic constants. Since, as pointed out earlier, for Xen
Dom0 support mainline likewise will need to eliminate the conflict
between _PAGE_PAT and _PAGE_PROTNONE, this patch does all the necessary
adjustments, plus it introduces a mechanism to check consistency
between MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT and the actual encoding macros.

This also fixes a latent bug in that x86-64 used a 6-bit mask in
__swp_type(), and if MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT was increased beyond 5 in (the
seemingly unrelated) linux/swap.h, this would have resulted in a
collision with _PAGE_FILE.

Non-PAE 32-bit code gets similarly adjusted for its pte_to_pgoff() and
pgoff_to_pte() calculations.

Nick Piggin 8413ac9d8c mm: page lock use lock bitops
trylock_page, unlock_page open and close a critical section. Hence,
we can use the lock bitops to get the desired memory ordering.

Also, mark trylock as likely to succeed (and remove the annotation from
callers).

Rik van Riel 68a22394c2 vmscan: free swap space on swap-in/activation
If vm_swap_full() (swap space more than 50% full), the system will free
swap space at swapin time.  With this patch, the system will also free the
swap space in the pageout code, when we decide that the page is not a
candidate for swapout (and just wasting swap space).
