Tetsuo Handa has pointed out that __GFP_NOFAIL allocations might fail
after OOM killer is disabled if the allocation is performed by a kernel
thread. This behavior was introduced from the very beginning by
7f33d49a2e ("mm, PM/Freezer: Disable OOM killer when tasks are frozen").
This means that the basic contract for the allocation request is broken
and the context requesting such an allocation might blow up unexpectedly.
There are basically two ways forward.
1) move oom_killer_disable after kernel threads are frozen. This has a
risk that the OOM victim wouldn't be able to finish because it would
depend on an already frozen kernel thread. This would be really tricky
to debug.
2) do not fail GFP_NOFAIL allocation no matter what and risk a
potential Freezable kernel threads will loop and fail the suspend.
Incidental allocations after kernel threads are frozen will at least
dump a warning - if we are lucky and the serial console is still active
of course...
This patch implements the later option because it is safer. We would see
warning rather than allocation failures for the kernel threads which would
blow up otherwise and have a higher chances to identify __GFP_NOFAIL users
from deeper pm code.

Dave Chinner reported that commit 4d94246699 ("mm: convert
p[te|md]_mknonnuma and remaining page table manipulations") slowed down
his xfsrepair test enormously. In particular, it was using more system
time due to extra TLB flushing.
The ultimate reason turns out to be how the change to use the regular
page table accessor functions broke the NUMA grouping logic. The old
special mknuma/mknonnuma code accessed the page table present bit and
the magic NUMA bit directly, while the new code just changes the page
protections using PROT_NONE and the regular vma protections.
That sounds equivalent, and from a fault standpoint it really is, but a
subtle side effect is that the *other* protection bits of the page table
entries also change. And the code to decide how to group the NUMA
entries together used the writable bit to decide whether a particular
page was likely to be shared read-only or not.
And with the change to make the NUMA handling use the regular permission
setting functions, that writable bit was basically always cleared for
private mappings due to COW. So even if the page actually ends up being
written to in the end, the NUMA balancing would act as if it was always
shared RO.
This code is a heuristic anyway, so the fix - at least for now - is to
instead check whether the page is dirty rather than writable. The bit
doesn't change with protection changes.
NOTE! This also adds a FIXME comment to revisit this issue,
Not only should we probably re-visit the whole "is this a shared
read-only page" heuristic (we might want to take the vma permissions
into account and base this more on those than the per-page ones, and
also look at whether the particular access that triggers it is a write
or not), but the whole COW issue shows that we should think about the
NUMA fault handling some more.
For example, maybe we should do the early-COW thing that a regular fault
does. Or maybe we should accept that while using the same bits as
PROTNONE was a good thing (and got rid of the specual NUMA bit), we
might still want to just preseve the other protection bits across NUMA
faulting.
Those are bigger questions, left for later. This just fixes up the
heuristic so that it at least approximates working again. More analysis
and work needed.

global_update_bandwidth() uses static variable update_time as the
timestamp for the last update but forgets to initialize it to
INITIALIZE_JIFFIES.
This means that global_dirty_limit will be 5 mins into the future on
32bit and some large amount jiffies into the past on 64bit. This
isn't critical as the only effect is that global_dirty_limit won't be
updated for the first 5 mins after booting on 32bit machines,
especially given the auxiliary nature of global_dirty_limit's role -
protecting against global dirty threshold's sudden dips; however, it
does lead to unintended suboptimal behavior. Fix it.

Historically, !__GFP_FS allocations were not allowed to invoke the OOM
killer once reclaim had failed, but nevertheless kept looping in the
allocator.
Commit 9879de7373 ("mm: page_alloc: embed OOM killing naturally into
allocation slowpath"), which should have been a simple cleanup patch,
accidentally changed the behavior to aborting the allocation at that
point. This creates problems with filesystem callers (?) that currently
rely on the allocator waiting for other tasks to intervene.
Revert the behavior as it shouldn't have been changed as part of a
cleanup patch.

A memcg is considered low limited even when the current usage is equal to
the low limit. This leads to interesting side effects e.g.
groups/hierarchies with no memory accounted are considered protected and
so the reclaim will emit MEMCG_LOW event when encountering them.
Another and much bigger issue was reported by Joonsoo Kim. He has hit a
NULL ptr dereference with the legacy cgroup API which even doesn't have
low limit exposed. The limit is 0 by default but the initial check fails
for memcg with 0 consumption and parent_mem_cgroup() would return NULL if
use_hierarchy is 0 and so page_counter_read would try to dereference NULL.
I suppose that the current implementation is just an overlook because the
documentation in Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt says:
"The memory.low boundary on the other hand is a top-down allocated
reserve. A cgroup enjoys reclaim protection when it and all its
ancestors are below their low boundaries"
Fix the usage and the low limit comparision in mem_cgroup_low accordingly.

This problem happens because we allocate ordered page through
__get_free_pages() in do_mmap_private() in some cases and we try to free
individual pages rather than ordered page in free_page_series(). In
this case, freeing pages whose refcount is not 0 won't be freed to the
page allocator so memory leak happens.
To fix the problem, this patch changes __get_free_pages() to
alloc_pages_exact() since alloc_pages_exact() returns
physically-contiguous pages but each pages are refcounted.

Convert the following where appropriate:
(1) S_ISLNK(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_symlink(dentry).
(2) S_ISREG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_reg(dentry).
(3) S_ISDIR(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_dir(dentry). This is actually more
complicated than it appears as some calls should be converted to
d_can_lookup() instead. The difference is whether the directory in
question is a real dir with a ->lookup op or whether it's a fake dir with
a ->d_automount op.
In some circumstances, we can subsume checks for dentry->d_inode not being
NULL into this, provided we the code isn't in a filesystem that expects
d_inode to be NULL if the dirent really *is* negative (ie. if we're going to
use d_inode() rather than d_backing_inode() to get the inode pointer).
Note that the dentry type field may be set to something other than
DCACHE_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL in the case of unionmount, where the VFS
manages the fall-through from a negative dentry to a lower layer. In such a
case, the dentry type of the negative union dentry is set to the same as the
type of the lower dentry.
However, if you know d_inode is not NULL at the call site, then you can use
the d_is_xxx() functions even in a filesystem.
There is one further complication: a 0,0 chardev dentry may be labelled
DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE rather than DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE. Strictly, this was
intended for special directory entry types that don't have attached inodes.

Currently COW of an XIP file is done by first bringing in a read-only
mapping, then retrying the fault and copying the page. It is much more
efficient to tell the fault handler that a COW is being attempted (by
passing in the pre-allocated page in the vm_fault structure), and allow
the handler to perform the COW operation itself.
The handler cannot insert the page itself if there is already a read-only
mapping at that address, so allow the handler to return VM_FAULT_LOCKED
and set the fault_page to be NULL. This indicates to the MM code that the
i_mmap_lock is held instead of the page lock.

DAX is a replacement for the variation of XIP currently supported by the
ext2 filesystem. We have three different things in the tree called 'XIP',
and the new focus is on access to data rather than executables, so a name
change was in order. DAX stands for Direct Access. The X is for
eXciting.
The new focus on data access has resulted in more careful attention to
races that exist in the current XIP code, but are not hit by the use-case
that it was designed for. XIP's architecture worked fine for ext2, but
DAX is architected to work with modern filsystems such as ext4 and XFS.
DAX is not intended for use with btrfs; the value that btrfs adds relies
on manipulating data and writing data to different locations, while DAX's
value is for write-in-place and keeping the kernel from touching the data.
DAX was developed in order to support NV-DIMMs, but it's become clear that
its usefuless extends beyond NV-DIMMs and there are several potential
customers including the tracing machinery. Other people want to place the
kernel log in an area of memory, as long as they have a BIOS that does not
clear DRAM on reboot.
Patch 1 is a bug fix, probably worth including in 3.18.
Patches 2 & 3 are infrastructure for DAX.
Patches 4-8 replace the XIP code with its DAX equivalents, transforming
ext2 to use the DAX code as we go. Note that patch 10 is the
Documentation patch.
Patches 9-15 clean up after the XIP code, removing the infrastructure
that is no longer needed and renaming various XIP things to DAX.
Most of these patches were added after Jan found things he didn't
like in an earlier version of the ext4 patch ... that had been copied
from ext2. So ext2 i being transformed to do things the same way that
ext4 will later. The ability to mount ext2 filesystems with the 'xip'
option is retained, although the 'dax' option is now preferred.
Patch 16 adds some DAX infrastructure to support ext4.
Patch 17 adds DAX support to ext4. It is broadly similar to ext2's DAX
support, but it is more efficient than ext4's due to its support for
unwritten extents.
Patch 18 is another cleanup patch renaming XIP to DAX.
My thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for his reviews of the v11 patchset. Most
of the changes below were based on his feedback.
This patch (of 18):
Pagecache faults recheck i_size after taking the page lock to ensure that
the fault didn't race against a truncate. We don't have a page to lock in
the XIP case, so use i_mmap_lock_read() instead. It is locked in the
truncate path in unmap_mapping_range() after updating i_size. So while we
hold it in the fault path, we are guaranteed that either i_size has
already been updated in the truncate path, or that the truncate will
subsequently call zap_page_range_single() and so remove the mapping we
have just inserted.
There is a window of time in which i_size has been reduced and the thread
has a mapping to a page which will be removed from the file, but this is
harmless as the page will not be allocated to a different purpose before
the thread's access to it is revoked.

This feature let us to detect accesses out of bounds of global variables.
This will work as for globals in kernel image, so for globals in modules.
Currently this won't work for symbols in user-specified sections (e.g.
__init, __read_mostly, ...)
The idea of this is simple. Compiler increases each global variable by
redzone size and add constructors invoking __asan_register_globals()
function. Information about global variable (address, size, size with
redzone ...) passed to __asan_register_globals() so we could poison
variable's redzone.
This patch also forces module_alloc() to return 8*PAGE_SIZE aligned
address making shadow memory handling (
kasan_module_alloc()/kasan_module_free() ) more simple. Such alignment
guarantees that each shadow page backing modules address space correspond
to only one module_alloc() allocation.

For instrumenting global variables KASan will shadow memory backing memory
for modules. So on module loading we will need to allocate memory for
shadow and map it at address in shadow that corresponds to the address
allocated in module_alloc().
__vmalloc_node_range() could be used for this purpose, except it puts a
guard hole after allocated area. Guard hole in shadow memory should be a
problem because at some future point we might need to have a shadow memory
at address occupied by guard hole. So we could fail to allocate shadow
for module_alloc().
Now we have VM_NO_GUARD flag disabling guard page, so we need to pass into
__vmalloc_node_range(). Add new parameter 'vm_flags' to
__vmalloc_node_range() function.

Recently instrumentation of builtin functions calls was removed from GCC
5.0. To check the memory accessed by such functions, userspace asan
always uses interceptors for them.
So now we should do this as well. This patch declares
memset/memmove/memcpy as weak symbols. In mm/kasan/kasan.c we have our
own implementation of those functions which checks memory before accessing
it.
Default memset/memmove/memcpy now now always have aliases with '__'
prefix. For files that built without kasan instrumentation (e.g.
mm/slub.c) original mem* replaced (via #define) with prefixed variants,
cause we don't want to check memory accesses there.

With this patch kasan will be able to catch bugs in memory allocated by
slub. Initially all objects in newly allocated slab page, marked as
redzone. Later, when allocation of slub object happens, requested by
caller number of bytes marked as accessible, and the rest of the object
(including slub's metadata) marked as redzone (inaccessible).
We also mark object as accessible if ksize was called for this object.
There is some places in kernel where ksize function is called to inquire
size of really allocated area. Such callers could validly access whole
allocated memory, so it should be marked as accessible.
Code in slub.c and slab_common.c files could validly access to object's
metadata, so instrumentation for this files are disabled.

It's ok for slub to access memory that marked by kasan as inaccessible
(object's metadata). Kasan shouldn't print report in that case because
these accesses are valid. Disabling instrumentation of slub.c code is not
enough to achieve this because slub passes pointer to object's metadata
into external functions like memchr_inv().
We don't want to disable instrumentation for memchr_inv() because this is
quite generic function, and we don't want to miss bugs.
metadata_access_enable/metadata_access_disable used to tell KASan where
accesses to metadata starts/end, so we could temporarily disable KASan
reports.

Kernel Address sanitizer (KASan) is a dynamic memory error detector. It
provides fast and comprehensive solution for finding use-after-free and
out-of-bounds bugs.
KASAN uses compile-time instrumentation for checking every memory access,
therefore GCC > v4.9.2 required. v4.9.2 almost works, but has issues with
putting symbol aliases into the wrong section, which breaks kasan
instrumentation of globals.
This patch only adds infrastructure for kernel address sanitizer. It's
not available for use yet. The idea and some code was borrowed from [1].
Basic idea:
The main idea of KASAN is to use shadow memory to record whether each byte
of memory is safe to access or not, and use compiler's instrumentation to
check the shadow memory on each memory access.
Address sanitizer uses 1/8 of the memory addressable in kernel for shadow
memory and uses direct mapping with a scale and offset to translate a
memory address to its corresponding shadow address.
Here is function to translate address to corresponding shadow address:
unsigned long kasan_mem_to_shadow(unsigned long addr)
{
return (addr >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET;
}
where KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT = 3.
So for every 8 bytes there is one corresponding byte of shadow memory.
The following encoding used for each shadow byte: 0 means that all 8 bytes
of the corresponding memory region are valid for access; k (1 <= k <= 7)
means that the first k bytes are valid for access, and other (8 - k) bytes
are not; Any negative value indicates that the entire 8-bytes are
inaccessible. Different negative values used to distinguish between
different kinds of inaccessible memory (redzones, freed memory) (see
mm/kasan/kasan.h).
To be able to detect accesses to bad memory we need a special compiler.
Such compiler inserts a specific function calls (__asan_load*(addr),
__asan_store*(addr)) before each memory access of size 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16.
These functions check whether memory region is valid to access or not by
checking corresponding shadow memory. If access is not valid an error
printed.
Historical background of the address sanitizer from Dmitry Vyukov:
"We've developed the set of tools, AddressSanitizer (Asan),
ThreadSanitizer and MemorySanitizer, for user space. We actively use
them for testing inside of Google (continuous testing, fuzzing,
running prod services). To date the tools have found more than 10'000
scary bugs in Chromium, Google internal codebase and various
open-source projects (Firefox, OpenSSL, gcc, clang, ffmpeg, MySQL and
lots of others): [2] [3] [4].
The tools are part of both gcc and clang compilers.
We have not yet done massive testing under the Kernel AddressSanitizer
(it's kind of chicken and egg problem, you need it to be upstream to
start applying it extensively). To date it has found about 50 bugs.
Bugs that we've found in upstream kernel are listed in [5].
We've also found ~20 bugs in out internal version of the kernel. Also
people from Samsung and Oracle have found some.
[...]
As others noted, the main feature of AddressSanitizer is its
performance due to inline compiler instrumentation and simple linear
shadow memory. User-space Asan has ~2x slowdown on computational
programs and ~2x memory consumption increase. Taking into account that
kernel usually consumes only small fraction of CPU and memory when
running real user-space programs, I would expect that kernel Asan will
have ~10-30% slowdown and similar memory consumption increase (when we
finish all tuning).
I agree that Asan can well replace kmemcheck. We have plans to start
working on Kernel MemorySanitizer that finds uses of unitialized
memory. Asan+Msan will provide feature-parity with kmemcheck. As
others noted, Asan will unlikely replace debug slab and pagealloc that
can be enabled at runtime. Asan uses compiler instrumentation, so even
if it is disabled, it still incurs visible overheads.
Asan technology is easily portable to other architectures. Compiler
instrumentation is fully portable. Runtime has some arch-dependent
parts like shadow mapping and atomic operation interception. They are
relatively easy to port."
Comparison with other debugging features:
========================================
KMEMCHECK:
- KASan can do almost everything that kmemcheck can. KASan uses
compile-time instrumentation, which makes it significantly faster than
kmemcheck. The only advantage of kmemcheck over KASan is detection of

- Also kmemcheck couldn't work on several CPUs. It always sets
number of CPUs to 1. KASan doesn't have such limitation.
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC:
- KASan is slower than DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, but KASan works on sub-page
granularity level, so it able to find more bugs.
SLUB_DEBUG (poisoning, redzones):
- SLUB_DEBUG has lower overhead than KASan.
- SLUB_DEBUG in most cases are not able to detect bad reads,
KASan able to detect both reads and writes.
- In some cases (e.g. redzone overwritten) SLUB_DEBUG detect
bugs only on allocation/freeing of object. KASan catch
bugs right before it will happen, so we always know exact
place of first bad read/write.

kstrdup() is often used to duplicate strings where neither source neither
destination will be ever modified. In such case we can just reuse the
source instead of duplicating it. The problem is that we must be sure
that the source is non-modifiable and its life-time is long enough.
I suspect the good candidates for such strings are strings located in
kernel .rodata section, they cannot be modifed because the section is
read-only and their life-time is equal to kernel life-time.
This small patchset proposes alternative version of kstrdup -
kstrdup_const, which returns source string if it is located in .rodata
otherwise it fallbacks to kstrdup. To verify if the source is in
.rodata function checks if the address is between sentinels
__start_rodata, __end_rodata. I guess it should work with all
architectures.
The main patch is accompanied by four patches constifying kstrdup for
cases where situtation described above happens frequently.
I have tested the patchset on mobile platform (exynos4210-trats) and it
saves 3272 string allocations. Since minimal allocation is 32 or 64
bytes depending on Kconfig options the patchset saves respectively about
100KB or 200KB of memory.
Stats from tested platform show that the main offender is sysfs:
By caller:
2260 __kernfs_new_node
631 clk_register+0xc8/0x1b8
318 clk_register+0x34/0x1b8
51 kmem_cache_create
12 alloc_vfsmnt
By string (with count >= 5):
883 power
876 subsystem
135 parameters
132 device
61 iommu_group
...
This patch (of 5):
Add an alternative version of kstrdup which returns pointer to constant
char array. The function checks if input string is in persistent and
read-only memory section, if yes it returns the input string, otherwise it
fallbacks to kstrdup.
kstrdup_const is accompanied by kfree_const performing conditional memory
deallocation of the string.

The vmstat interfaces are good at hiding negative counts (at least when
CONFIG_SMP); but if you peer behind the curtain, you find that
nr_isolated_anon and nr_isolated_file soon go negative, and grow ever
more negative: so they can absorb larger and larger numbers of isolated
pages, yet still appear to be zero.
I'm happy to avoid a congestion_wait() when too_many_isolated() myself;
but I guess it's there for a good reason, in which case we ought to get
too_many_isolated() working again.
The imbalance comes from isolate_migratepages()'s ISOLATE_ABORT case:
putback_movable_pages() decrements the NR_ISOLATED counts, but we forgot
to call acct_isolated() to increment them.
It is possible that the bug whcih this patch fixes could cause OOM kills
when the system still has a lot of reclaimable page cache.

A race condition starts to be visible in recent mmotm, where a PG_hwpoison
flag is set on a migration source page *before* it's back in buddy page
poo= l.
This is problematic because no page flag is supposed to be set when
freeing (see __free_one_page().) So the user-visible effect of this race
is that it could trigger the BUG_ON() when soft-offlining is called.
The root cause is that we call lru_add_drain_all() to make sure that the
page is in buddy, but that doesn't work because this function just
schedule= s a work item and doesn't wait its completion.
drain_all_pages() does drainin= g directly, so simply dropping
lru_add_drain_all() solves this problem.

Although this patch moves static keys decrement from __mem_cgroup_free to

the keys are incremented on setting the limit (tcp or kmem), which can

Currently, freepage isolation in one pageblock doesn't consider how many
freepages we isolate. When I traced flow of compaction, compaction
sometimes isolates more than 256 freepages to migrate just 32 pages.
In this patch, freepage isolation is stopped at the point that we
have more isolated freepage than isolated page for migration. This
results in slowing down free page scanner and make compaction success
rate higher.
stress-highalloc test in mmtests with non movable order 7 allocation shows
increase of compaction success rate.
Compaction success rate (Compaction success * 100 / Compaction stalls, %)

pfn where both scanners meets on compaction complete
(separate test due to enormous tracepoint buffer)
(zone_start=4096, zone_end=1048576)
586034 : 654378
In fact, I didn't fully understand why this patch results in such good
result. There was a guess that not used freepages are released to pcp list
and on next compaction trial we won't isolate them again so compaction
success rate would decrease. To prevent this effect, I tested with adding
pcp drain code on release_freepages(), but, it has no good effect.
Anyway, this patch reduces waste time to isolate unneeded freepages so
seems reasonable.

What we want to check here is whether there is highorder freepage in buddy
list of other migratetype in order to steal it without fragmentation.
But, current code just checks cc->order which means allocation request
order. So, this is wrong.
Without this fix, non-movable synchronous compaction below pageblock order
would not stopped until compaction is complete, because migratetype of
most pageblocks are movable and high order freepage made by compaction is
usually on movable type buddy list.
There is some report related to this bug. See below link.

Although the issued system still has load spike comes from compaction,
this makes that system completely stable and responsive according to his

To speed up further allocations SLUB may store empty slabs in per cpu/node
partial lists instead of freeing them immediately. This prevents per
memcg caches destruction, because kmem caches created for a memory cgroup
are only destroyed after the last page charged to the cgroup is freed.
To fix this issue, this patch resurrects approach first proposed in [1].
It forbids SLUB to cache empty slabs after the memory cgroup that the
cache belongs to was destroyed. It is achieved by setting kmem_cache's
cpu_partial and min_partial constants to 0 and tuning put_cpu_partial() so
that it would drop frozen empty slabs immediately if cpu_partial = 0.
The runtime overhead is minimal. From all the hot functions, we only
touch relatively cold put_cpu_partial(): we make it call
unfreeze_partials() after freezing a slab that belongs to an offline
memory cgroup. Since slab freezing exists to avoid moving slabs from/to a
partial list on free/alloc, and there can't be allocations from dead
caches, it shouldn't cause any overhead. We do have to disable preemption
for put_cpu_partial() to achieve that though.
The original patch was accepted well and even merged to the mm tree.
However, I decided to withdraw it due to changes happening to the memcg
core at that time. I had an idea of introducing per-memcg shrinkers for
kmem caches, but now, as memcg has finally settled down, I do not see it
as an option, because SLUB shrinker would be too costly to call since SLUB
does not keep free slabs on a separate list. Besides, we currently do not
even call per-memcg shrinkers for offline memcgs. Overall, it would
introduce much more complexity to both SLUB and memcg than this small
patch.
Regarding to SLAB, there's no problem with it, because it shrinks
per-cpu/node caches periodically. Thanks to list_lru reparenting, we no
longer keep entries for offline cgroups in per-memcg arrays (such as
memcg_cache_params->memcg_caches), so we do not have to bother if a
per-memcg cache will be shrunk a bit later than it could be.

SLUB's version of __kmem_cache_shrink() not only removes empty slabs, but
also tries to rearrange the partial lists to place slabs filled up most to
the head to cope with fragmentation. To achieve that, it allocates a
temporary array of lists used to sort slabs by the number of objects in
use. If the allocation fails, the whole procedure is aborted.
This is unacceptable for the kernel memory accounting extension of the
memory cgroup, where we want to make sure that kmem_cache_shrink()
successfully discarded empty slabs. Although the allocation failure is
utterly unlikely with the current page allocator implementation, which
retries GFP_KERNEL allocations of order <= 2 infinitely, it is better not
to rely on that.
This patch therefore makes __kmem_cache_shrink() allocate the array on
stack instead of calling kmalloc, which may fail. The array size is
chosen to be equal to 32, because most SLUB caches store not more than 32
objects per slab page. Slab pages with <= 32 free objects are sorted
using the array by the number of objects in use and promoted to the head
of the partial list, while slab pages with > 32 free objects are left in
the end of the list without any ordering imposed on them.

Now, the only reason to keep kmemcg_id till css free is list_lru, which
uses it to distribute elements between per-memcg lists. However, it can
be easily sorted out - we only need to change kmemcg_id of an offline
cgroup to its parent's id, making further list_lru_add()'s add elements to
the parent's list, and then move all elements from the offline cgroup's
list to the one of its parent. It will work, because a racing
list_lru_del() does not need to know the list it is deleting the element
from. It can decrement the wrong nr_items counter though, but the ongoing
reparenting will fix it. After list_lru reparenting is done we are free
to release kmemcg_id saving a valuable slot in a per-memcg array for new
cgroups.

Currently, the isolate callback passed to the list_lru_walk family of
functions is supposed to just delete an item from the list upon returning
LRU_REMOVED or LRU_REMOVED_RETRY, while nr_items counter is fixed by
__list_lru_walk_one after the callback returns. Since the callback is
allowed to drop the lock after removing an item (it has to return
LRU_REMOVED_RETRY then), the nr_items can be less than the actual number
of elements on the list even if we check them under the lock. This makes
it difficult to move items from one list_lru_one to another, which is
required for per-memcg list_lru reparenting - we can't just splice the
lists, we have to move entries one by one.
This patch therefore introduces helpers that must be used by callback
functions to isolate items instead of raw list_del/list_move. These are
list_lru_isolate and list_lru_isolate_move. They not only remove the
entry from the list, but also fix the nr_items counter, making sure
nr_items always reflects the actual number of elements on the list if
checked under the appropriate lock.

However, I am going to change that and release kmemcg_id on css offline,

Sometimes, we need to iterate over all memcg copies of a particular root
kmem cache. Currently, we use memcg_cache_params->memcg_caches array for
that, because it contains all existing memcg caches.
However, it's a bad practice to keep all caches, including those that
belong to offline cgroups, in this array, because it will be growing
beyond any bounds then. I'm going to wipe away dead caches from it to
save space. To still be able to perform iterations over all memcg caches
of the same kind, let us link them into a list.

Currently, kmem_cache stores a pointer to struct memcg_cache_params
instead of embedding it. The rationale is to save memory when kmem
accounting is disabled. However, the memcg_cache_params has shrivelled
drastically since it was first introduced:
* Initially:
struct memcg_cache_params {
bool is_root_cache;
union {
struct kmem_cache *memcg_caches[0];
struct {
struct mem_cgroup *memcg;
struct list_head list;
struct kmem_cache *root_cache;
bool dead;
atomic_t nr_pages;
struct work_struct destroy;
};
};
};
* Now:
struct memcg_cache_params {
bool is_root_cache;
union {
struct {
struct rcu_head rcu_head;
struct kmem_cache *memcg_caches[0];
};
struct {
struct mem_cgroup *memcg;
struct kmem_cache *root_cache;
};
};
};
So the memory saving does not seem to be a clear win anymore.
OTOH, keeping a pointer to memcg_cache_params struct instead of embedding
it results in touching one more cache line on kmem alloc/free hot paths.
Besides, it makes linking kmem caches in a list chained by a field of
struct memcg_cache_params really painful due to a level of indirection,
while I want to make them linked in the following patch. That said, let
us embed it.

There are several FS shrinkers, including super_block::s_shrink, that
keep reclaimable objects in the list_lru structure. Hence to turn them
to memcg-aware shrinkers, it is enough to make list_lru per-memcg.
This patch does the trick. It adds an array of lru lists to the
list_lru_node structure (per-node part of the list_lru), one for each
kmem-active memcg, and dispatches every item addition or removal to the
list corresponding to the memcg which the item is accounted to. So now
the list_lru structure is not just per node, but per node and per memcg.
Not all list_lrus need this feature, so this patch also adds a new
method, list_lru_init_memcg, which initializes a list_lru as memcg
aware. Otherwise (i.e. if initialized with old list_lru_init), the
list_lru won't have per memcg lists.
Just like per memcg caches arrays, the arrays of per-memcg lists are
indexed by memcg_cache_id, so we must grow them whenever
memcg_nr_cache_ids is increased. So we introduce a callback,
memcg_update_all_list_lrus, invoked by memcg_alloc_cache_id if the id
space is full.
The locking is implemented in a manner similar to lruvecs, i.e. we have
one lock per node that protects all lists (both global and per cgroup) on
the node.

To make list_lru memcg aware, we need all list_lrus to be kept on a list
protected by a mutex, so that we could sleep while walking over the
list.
Therefore after this change list_lru_destroy may sleep. Fortunately,
there is only one user that calls it from an atomic context - it's
put_super - and we can easily fix it by calling list_lru_destroy before
put_super in destroy_locked_super - anyway we don't longer need lrus by
that time.
Another point that should be noted is that list_lru_destroy is allowed
to be called on an uninitialized zeroed-out object, in which case it is
a no-op. Before this patch this was guaranteed by kfree, but now we
need an explicit check there.

We need a stable value of memcg_nr_cache_ids in kmem_cache_create()
(memcg_alloc_cache_params() wants it for root caches), where we only
hold the slab_mutex and no memcg-related locks. As a result, we have to
update memcg_nr_cache_ids under the slab_mutex, which we can only take
on the slab's side (see memcg_update_array_size). This looks awkward
and will become even worse when per-memcg list_lru is introduced, which
also wants stable access to memcg_nr_cache_ids.
To get rid of this dependency between the memcg_nr_cache_ids and the
slab_mutex, this patch introduces a special rwsem. The rwsem is held
for writing during memcg_caches arrays relocation and memcg_nr_cache_ids
updates. Therefore one can take it for reading to get a stable access
to memcg_caches arrays and/or memcg_nr_cache_ids.
Currently the semaphore is taken for reading only from
kmem_cache_create, right before taking the slab_mutex, so right now
there's no much point in using rwsem instead of mutex. However, once
list_lru is made per-memcg it will allow list_lru initializations to
proceed concurrently.

Kmem accounting of memcg is unusable now, because it lacks slab shrinker
support. That means when we hit the limit we will get ENOMEM w/o any
chance to recover. What we should do then is to call shrink_slab, which
would reclaim old inode/dentry caches from this cgroup. This is what
this patch set is intended to do.
Basically, it does two things. First, it introduces the notion of
per-memcg slab shrinker. A shrinker that wants to reclaim objects per
cgroup should mark itself as SHRINKER_MEMCG_AWARE. Then it will be
passed the memory cgroup to scan from in shrink_control->memcg. For
such shrinkers shrink_slab iterates over the whole cgroup subtree under
the target cgroup and calls the shrinker for each kmem-active memory
cgroup.
Secondly, this patch set makes the list_lru structure per-memcg. It's
done transparently to list_lru users - everything they have to do is to
tell list_lru_init that they want memcg-aware list_lru. Then the
list_lru will automatically distribute objects among per-memcg lists
basing on which cgroup the object is accounted to. This way to make FS
shrinkers (icache, dcache) memcg-aware we only need to make them use
memcg-aware list_lru, and this is what this patch set does.
As before, this patch set only enables per-memcg kmem reclaim when the
pressure goes from memory.limit, not from memory.kmem.limit. Handling
memory.kmem.limit is going to be tricky due to GFP_NOFS allocations, and
it is still unclear whether we will have this knob in the unified
hierarchy.
This patch (of 9):
NUMA aware slab shrinkers use the list_lru structure to distribute
objects coming from different NUMA nodes to different lists. Whenever
such a shrinker needs to count or scan objects from a particular node,
it issues commands like this:
count = list_lru_count_node(lru, sc->nid);
freed = list_lru_walk_node(lru, sc->nid, isolate_func,
isolate_arg, &sc->nr_to_scan);
where sc is an instance of the shrink_control structure passed to it
from vmscan.
To simplify this, let's add special list_lru functions to be used by
shrinkers, list_lru_shrink_count() and list_lru_shrink_walk(), which
consolidate the nid and nr_to_scan arguments in the shrink_control
structure.
This will also allow us to avoid patching shrinkers that use list_lru
when we make shrink_slab() per-memcg - all we will have to do is extend
the shrink_control structure to include the target memcg and make
list_lru_shrink_{count,walk} handle this appropriately.

Automatic NUMA balancing depends on being able to protect PTEs to trap a
fault and gather reference locality information. Very broadly speaking
it would mark PTEs as not present and use another bit to distinguish
between NUMA hinting faults and other types of faults. It was
universally loved by everybody and caused no problems whatsoever. That
last sentence might be a lie.
This series is very heavily based on patches from Linus and Aneesh to
replace the existing PTE/PMD NUMA helper functions with normal change
protections. I did alter and add parts of it but I consider them
relatively minor contributions. At their suggestion, acked-bys are in
there but I've no problem converting them to Signed-off-by if requested.
AFAIK, this has received no testing on ppc64 and I'm depending on Aneesh
for that. I tested trinity under kvm-tool and passed and ran a few
other basic tests. At the time of writing, only the short-lived tests
have completed but testing of V2 indicated that long-term testing had no
surprises. In most cases I'm leaving out detail as it's not that
interesting.
specjbb single JVM: There was negligible performance difference in the
benchmark itself for short runs. However, system activity is
higher and interrupts are much higher over time -- possibly TLB
flushes. Migrations are also higher. Overall, this is more overhead
but considering the problems faced with the old approach I think
we just have to suck it up and find another way of reducing the
overhead.
specjbb multi JVM: Negligible performance difference to the actual benchmark
but like the single JVM case, the system overhead is noticeably
higher. Again, interrupts are a major factor.
autonumabench: This was all over the place and about all that can be
reasonably concluded is that it's different but not necessarily
better or worse.

System CPU usage of NUMA01 is worse but it's an adverse workload on this
machine so I'm reluctant to conclude that it's a problem that matters. On
the other workloads that are sensible on this machine, system CPU usage is
great. Overall time to complete the benchmark is comparable

The NUMA pages migrated look terrible but when I looked at a graph of the
activity over time I see that the massive spike in migration activity was
during NUMA01. This correlates with high system CPU usage and could be
simply down to bad luck but any modifications that affect that workload
would be related to scan rates and migrations, not the protection
mechanism. For all other workloads, migration activity was comparable.
Overall, headline performance figures are comparable but the overhead is
higher, mostly in interrupts. To some extent, higher overhead from this
approach was anticipated but not to this degree. It's going to be
necessary to reduce this again with a separate series in the future. It's
still worth going ahead with this series though as it's likely to avoid
constant headaches with Xen and is probably easier to maintain.
This patch (of 10):
A transhuge NUMA hinting fault may find the page is migrating and should
wait until migration completes. The check is race-prone because the pmd
is deferenced outside of the page lock and while the race is tiny, it'll
be larger if the PMD is cleared while marking PMDs for hinting fault.
This patch closes the race.

I noticed that "allowed" can easily overflow by falling below 0, because
(total_vm / 32) can be larger than "allowed". The problem occurs in
OVERCOMMIT_NONE mode.
In this case, a huge allocation can success and overcommit the system
(despite OVERCOMMIT_NONE mode). All subsequent allocations will fall
(system-wide), so system become unusable.
The problem was masked out by commit c9b1d0981f
("mm: limit growth of 3% hardcoded other user reserve"),
but it's easy to reproduce it on older kernels:
1) set overcommit_memory sysctl to 2
2) mmap() large file multiple times (with VM_SHARED flag)
3) try to malloc() large amount of memory
It also can be reproduced on newer kernels, but miss-configured

It was noted that the vm stat shepherd runs every 2 seconds and that the

This yields an interval of double the time interval which is not desired.
Change the shepherd so that it does not delay the vmstat update on the
other cpu. We stil have to use schedule_delayed_work since we are using a

Page owner uses the page_ext structure to keep meta-information for every
page in the system. The structure also contains a field of type 'struct
stack_trace', page owner uses this field during invocation of the function
save_stack_trace. It is easy to notice that keeping a copy of this
structure for every page in the system is very inefficiently in terms of
memory.
The patch removes this unnecessary field of page_ext and forces page owner
to use a stack_trace structure allocated on the stack.

This patch aims to improve THP collapse rates, by allowing THP collapse in
the presence of read-only ptes, like those left in place by do_swap_page
after a read fault.
Currently THP can collapse 4kB pages into a THP when there are up to
khugepaged_max_ptes_none pte_none ptes in a 2MB range. This patch applies
the same limit for read-only ptes.
The patch was tested with a test program that allocates 800MB of memory,
writes to it, and then sleeps. I force the system to swap out all but
190MB of the program by touching other memory. Afterwards, the test
program does a mix of reads and writes to its memory, and the memory gets
swapped back in.
Without the patch, only the memory that did not get swapped out remained
in THPs, which corresponds to 24% of the memory of the program. The
percentage did not increase over time.
With this patch, after 5 minutes of waiting khugepaged had collapsed 50%
of the program's memory back into THPs.

Vinayak Menon has reported that an excessive number of tasks was throttled
in the direct reclaim inside too_many_isolated() because NR_ISOLATED_FILE
was relatively high compared to NR_INACTIVE_FILE. However it turned out
that the real number of NR_ISOLATED_FILE was 0 and the per-cpu
vm_stat_diff wasn't transferred into the global counter.
vmstat_work which is responsible for the sync is defined as deferrable
delayed work which means that the defined timeout doesn't wake up an idle
CPU. A CPU might stay in an idle state for a long time and general effort
is to keep such a CPU in this state as long as possible which might lead
to all sorts of troubles for vmstat consumers as can be seen with the
excessive direct reclaim throttling.
This patch basically reverts 39bf6270f5 ("VM statistics: Make timer
deferrable") but it shouldn't cause any problems for idle CPUs because
only CPUs with an active per-cpu drift are woken up since 7cc36bbddd
("vmstat: on-demand vmstat workers v8") and CPUs which are idle for a
longer time shouldn't have per-cpu drift.

When allocation falls back to stealing free pages of another migratetype,
it can decide to steal extra pages, or even the whole pageblock in order
to reduce fragmentation, which could happen if further allocation
fallbacks pick a different pageblock. In try_to_steal_freepages(), one of
the situations where extra pages are stolen happens when we are trying to
allocate a MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE page.
However, MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE allocations are not treated the same way,
although spreading such allocation over multiple fallback pageblocks is
arguably even worse than it is for RECLAIMABLE allocations. To minimize
fragmentation, we should minimize the number of such fallbacks, and thus
steal as much as is possible from each fallback pageblock.
Note that in theory this might put more pressure on movable pageblocks and
cause movable allocations to steal back from unmovable pageblocks.
However, movable allocations are not as aggressive with stealing, and do
not cause permanent fragmentation, so the tradeoff is reasonable, and
evaluation seems to support the change.
This patch thus adds a check for MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE to the decision to
steal extra free pages. When evaluating with stress-highalloc from
mmtests, this has reduced the number of MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE fallbacks to
roughly 1/6. The number of these fallbacks stealing from MIGRATE_MOVABLE
block is reduced to 1/3. There was no observation of growing number of
unmovable pageblocks over time, and also not of increased movable
allocation fallbacks.

When allocation falls back to another migratetype, it will steal a page
with highest available order, and (depending on this order and desired
migratetype), it might also steal the rest of free pages from the same
pageblock.
Given the preference of highest available order, it is likely that it will
be higher than the desired order, and result in the stolen buddy page
being split. The remaining pages after split are currently stolen only
when the rest of the free pages are stolen. This can however lead to
situations where for MOVABLE allocations we split e.g. order-4 fallback
UNMOVABLE page, but steal only order-0 page. Then on the next MOVABLE
allocation (which may be batched to fill the pcplists) we split another
order-3 or higher page, etc. By stealing all pages that we have split, we
can avoid further stealing.
This patch therefore adjusts the page stealing so that buddy pages created
by split are always stolen. This has effect only on MOVABLE allocations,
as RECLAIMABLE and UNMOVABLE allocations already always do that in
addition to stealing the rest of free pages from the pageblock. The
change also allows to simplify try_to_steal_freepages() and factor out CMA
handling.
According to Mel, it has been intended since the beginning that buddy
pages after split would be stolen always, but it doesn't seem like it was
ever the case until commit 47118af076 ("mm: mmzone: MIGRATE_CMA
migration type added"). The commit has unintentionally introduced this
behavior, but was reverted by commit 0cbef29a78 ("mm:
__rmqueue_fallback() should respect pageblock type"). Neither included
evaluation.
My evaluation with stress-highalloc from mmtests shows about 2.5x
reduction of page stealing events for MOVABLE allocations, without
affecting the page stealing events for other allocation migratetypes.

When studying page stealing, I noticed some weird looking decisions in
try_to_steal_freepages(). The first I assume is a bug (Patch 1), the
following two patches were driven by evaluation.
Testing was done with stress-highalloc of mmtests, using the
mm_page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint and postprocessing to get counts of how
often page stealing occurs for individual migratetypes, and what
migratetypes are used for fallbacks. Arguably, the worst case of page
stealing is when UNMOVABLE allocation steals from MOVABLE pageblock.
RECLAIMABLE allocation stealing from MOVABLE allocation is also not ideal,
so the goal is to minimize these two cases.
The evaluation of v2 wasn't always clear win and Joonsoo questioned the
results. Here I used different baseline which includes RFC compaction
improvements from [1]. I found that the compaction improvements reduce
variability of stress-highalloc, so there's less noise in the data.
First, let's look at stress-highalloc configured to do sync compaction,
and how these patches reduce page stealing events during the test. First
column is after fresh reboot, other two are reiterations of test without
reboot. That was all accumulater over 5 re-iterations (so the benchmark
was run 5x3 times with 5 fresh restarts).

In v2 we've seen apparent regression with Patch 1 for unmovable events,
this is now gone, suggesting it was indeed noise. Here, each patch
improves the situation for unmovable events. Reclaimable is improved by
patch 1 and then either the same modulo noise, or perhaps sligtly worse -
a small price for unmovable improvements, IMHO. The number of movable
allocations falling back to other migratetypes is most noisy, but it's
reduced to half at Patch 2 nevertheless. These are least critical as
compaction can move them around.
If we look at success rates, the patches don't affect them, that didn't change.

As with v2, /proc/pagetypeinfo appears unaffected with respect to numbers
of unmovable and reclaimable pageblocks.
Configuring the benchmark to allocate like THP page fault (i.e. no sync
compaction) gives much noisier results for iterations 2 and 3 after
reboot. This is not so surprising given how [1] offers lower improvements
in this scenario due to less restarts after deferred compaction which
would change compaction pivot.

The improvements for first iteration are clear, the rest is much noisier
and can appear like regression for Patch 1. Anyway, patch 2 rectifies it.
Allocation success rates are again unaffected so there's no point in
making this e-mail any longer.
[1] http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=142166196321125&w=2
This patch (of 3):
When __rmqueue_fallback() is called to allocate a page of order X, it will
find a page of order Y >= X of a fallback migratetype, which is different
from the desired migratetype. With the help of try_to_steal_freepages(),
it may change the migratetype (to the desired one) also of:
1) all currently free pages in the pageblock containing the fallback page
2) the fallback pageblock itself
3) buddy pages created by splitting the fallback page (when Y > X)
These decisions take the order Y into account, as well as the desired
migratetype, with the goal of preventing multiple fallback allocations
that could e.g. distribute UNMOVABLE allocations among multiple
pageblocks.
Originally, decision for 1) has implied the decision for 3). Commit
47118af076 ("mm: mmzone: MIGRATE_CMA migration type added") changed that
(probably unintentionally) so that the buddy pages in case 3) are always
changed to the desired migratetype, except for CMA pageblocks.
Commit fef903efcf ("mm/page_allo.c: restructure free-page stealing code
and fix a bug") did some refactoring and added a comment that the case of
3) is intended. Commit 0cbef29a78 ("mm: __rmqueue_fallback() should
respect pageblock type") removed the comment and tried to restore the
original behavior where 1) implies 3), but due to the previous
refactoring, the result is instead that only 2) implies 3) - and the
conditions for 2) are less frequently met than conditions for 1). This
may increase fragmentation in situations where the code decides to steal
all free pages from the pageblock (case 1)), but then gives back the buddy
pages produced by splitting.
This patch restores the original intended logic where 1) implies 3).
During testing with stress-highalloc from mmtests, this has shown to
decrease the number of events where UNMOVABLE and RECLAIMABLE allocations
steal from MOVABLE pageblocks, which can lead to permanent fragmentation.
In some cases it has increased the number of events when MOVABLE
allocations steal from UNMOVABLE or RECLAIMABLE pageblocks, but these are
fixable by sync compaction and thus less harmful.
Note that evaluation has shown that the behavior introduced by
47118af076 for buddy pages in case 3) is actually even better than the
original logic, so the following patch will introduce it properly once
again. For stable backports of this patch it makes thus sense to only fix
versions containing 0cbef29a78.

walk_page_range() silently skips vma having VM_PFNMAP set, which leads to
undesirable behaviour at client end (who called walk_page_range). For
example for pagemap_read(), when no callbacks are called against VM_PFNMAP
vma, pagemap_read() may prepare pagemap data for next virtual address
range at wrong index. That could confuse and/or break userspace
applications.
This patch avoid this misbehavior caused by vma(VM_PFNMAP) like follows:
- for pagemap_read() which has its own ->pte_hole(), call the ->pte_hole()
over vma(VM_PFNMAP),
- for clear_refs and queue_pages which have their own ->tests_walk,
just return 1 and skip vma(VM_PFNMAP). This is no problem because
these are not interested in hole regions,
- for other callers, just skip the vma(VM_PFNMAP) as a default behavior.

queue_pages_range() does page table walking in its own way now, but there
is some code duplicate. This patch applies page table walker to reduce
lines of code.
queue_pages_range() has to do some precheck to determine whether we really
walk over the vma or just skip it. Now we have test_walk() callback in
mm_walk for this purpose, so we can do this replacement cleanly.
queue_pages_test_walk() depends on not only the current vma but also the
previous one, so queue_pages->prev is introduced to remember it.

Current implementation of page table walker has a fundamental problem in
vma handling, which started when we tried to handle vma(VM_HUGETLB).
Because it's done in pgd loop, considering vma boundary makes code
complicated and bug-prone.
From the users viewpoint, some user checks some vma-related condition to
determine whether the user really does page walk over the vma.
In order to solve these, this patch moves vma check outside pgd loop and
introduce a new callback ->test_walk().

FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY allows the page fault to drop the mmap_sem for
reading to reduce the mmap_sem contention (for writing), like while
waiting for I/O completion. The problem is that right now practically no
get_user_pages call uses FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY, so we're not leveraging
that nifty feature.
Andres fixed it for the KVM page fault. However get_user_pages_fast
remains uncovered, and 99% of other get_user_pages aren't using it either
(the only exception being FOLL_NOWAIT in KVM which is really nonblocking
and in fact it doesn't even release the mmap_sem).
So this patchsets extends the optimization Andres did in the KVM page
fault to the whole kernel. It makes most important places (including
gup_fast) to use FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY to reduce the mmap_sem hold times
during I/O.
The only few places that remains uncovered are drivers like v4l and other
exceptions that tends to work on their own memory and they're not working
on random user memory (for example like O_DIRECT that uses gup_fast and is
fully covered by this patch).
A follow up patch should probably also add a printk_once warning to
get_user_pages that should go obsolete and be phased out eventually. The
"vmas" parameter of get_user_pages makes it fundamentally incompatible
with FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY (vmas array becomes meaningless the moment the
mmap_sem is released).
While this is just an optimization, this becomes an absolute requirement
for the userfaultfd feature http://lwn.net/Articles/615086/ .
The userfaultfd allows to block the page fault, and in order to do so I
need to drop the mmap_sem first. So this patch also ensures that all
memory where userfaultfd could be registered by KVM, the very first fault
(no matter if it is a regular page fault, or a get_user_pages) always has
FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY set. Then the userfaultfd blocks and it is waken
only when the pagetable is already mapped. The second fault attempt after
the wakeup doesn't need FAULT_FOLL_ALLOW_RETRY, so it's ok to retry
without it.
This patch (of 5):
We can leverage the VM_FAULT_RETRY functionality in the page fault paths
better by using either get_user_pages_locked or get_user_pages_unlocked.
The former allows conversion of get_user_pages invocations that will have
to pass a "&locked" parameter to know if the mmap_sem was dropped during
the call. Example from:
down_read(&mm->mmap_sem);
do_something()
get_user_pages(tsk, mm, ..., pages, NULL);
up_read(&mm->mmap_sem);
to:
int locked = 1;
down_read(&mm->mmap_sem);
do_something()
get_user_pages_locked(tsk, mm, ..., pages, &locked);
if (locked)
up_read(&mm->mmap_sem);
The latter is suitable only as a drop in replacement of the form:
down_read(&mm->mmap_sem);
get_user_pages(tsk, mm, ..., pages, NULL);
up_read(&mm->mmap_sem);
into:
get_user_pages_unlocked(tsk, mm, ..., pages);
Where tsk, mm, the intermediate "..." paramters and "pages" can be any
value as before. Just the last parameter of get_user_pages (vmas) must be
NULL for get_user_pages_locked|unlocked to be usable (the latter original
form wouldn't have been safe anyway if vmas wasn't null, for the former we
just make it explicit by dropping the parameter).
If vmas is not NULL these two methods cannot be used.

The previous commit ("mm/thp: Allocate transparent hugepages on local
node") introduced alloc_hugepage_vma() to mm/mempolicy.c to perform a
special policy for THP allocations. The function has the same interface
as alloc_pages_vma(), shares a lot of boilerplate code and a long
comment.
This patch merges the hugepage special case into alloc_pages_vma. The
extra if condition should be cheap enough price to pay. We also prevent
a (however unlikely) race with parallel mems_allowed update, which could
make hugepage allocation restart only within the fallback call to
alloc_hugepage_vma() and not reconsider the special rule in
alloc_hugepage_vma().
Also by making sure mpol_cond_put(pol) is always called before actual
allocation attempt, we can use a single exit path within the function.
Also update the comment for missing node parameter and obsolete reference
to mm_sem.

allowed by mempolicy. If we can't, we fallback to small page allocation
based on mempolicy. This is based on the observation that allocating
pages on local node is more beneficial than allocating hugepages on remote
node.
With this patch applied we may find transparent huge page allocation
failures if the current node doesn't have enough freee hugepages. Before
this patch such failures result in us retrying the allocation on other
nodes in the numa node mask.

Compaction deferring logic is heavy hammer that block the way to the
compaction. It doesn't consider overall system state, so it could prevent
user from doing compaction falsely. In other words, even if system has
enough range of memory to compact, compaction would be skipped due to
compaction deferring logic. This patch add new tracepoint to understand
work of deferring logic. This will also help to check compaction success

We now have tracepoint for begin event of compaction and it prints start
position of both scanners, but, tracepoint for end event of compaction
doesn't print finish position of both scanners. It'd be also useful to
know finish position of both scanners so this patch add it. It will help
to find odd behavior or problem on compaction internal logic.
And mode is added to both begin/end tracepoint output, since according to
mode, compaction behavior is quite different.
And lastly, status format is changed to string rather than status number
for readability.

The problem is that we check nr_ptes/nr_pmds in exit_mmap() which happens
*before* pgd_free(). And if an arch does pte/pmd allocation in
pgd_alloc() and frees them in pgd_free() we see offset in counters by the
time of the checks.
We tried to workaround this by offsetting expected counter value according
to FIRST_USER_ADDRESS for both nr_pte and nr_pmd in exit_mmap(). But it
doesn't work in some cases:
1. ARM with LPAE enabled also has non-zero USER_PGTABLES_CEILING, but
upper addresses occupied with huge pmd entries, so the trick with
offsetting expected counter value will get really ugly: we will have
to apply it nr_pmds, but not nr_ptes.
2. Metag has non-zero FIRST_USER_ADDRESS, but doesn't do allocation
pte/pmd page tables allocation in pgd_alloc(), just setup a pgd entry
which is allocated at boot and shared accross all processes.
The proposal is to move the check to check_mm() which happens *after*
pgd_free() and do proper accounting during pgd_alloc() and pgd_free()
which would bring counters to zero if nothing leaked.

Dave noticed that unprivileged process can allocate significant amount of
memory -- >500 MiB on x86_64 -- and stay unnoticed by oom-killer and
memory cgroup. The trick is to allocate a lot of PMD page tables. Linux
kernel doesn't account PMD tables to the process, only PTE.
The use-cases below use few tricks to allocate a lot of PMD page tables
while keeping VmRSS and VmPTE low. oom_score for the process will be 0.
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/prctl.h>
#define PUD_SIZE (1UL << 30)
#define PMD_SIZE (1UL << 21)
#define NR_PUD 130000
int main(void)
{
char *addr = NULL;
unsigned long i;
prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE);
for (i = 0; i < NR_PUD ; i++) {
addr = mmap(addr + PUD_SIZE, PUD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ,
MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0);
if (addr == MAP_FAILED) {
perror("mmap");
break;
}
*addr = 'x';
munmap(addr, PMD_SIZE);
mmap(addr, PMD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ,
MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, -1, 0);
if (addr == MAP_FAILED)
perror("re-mmap"), exit(1);
}
printf("PID %d consumed %lu KiB in PMD page tables\n",
getpid(), i * 4096 >> 10);
return pause();
}
The patch addresses the issue by account PMD tables to the process the
same way we account PTE.
The main place where PMD tables is accounted is __pmd_alloc() and
free_pmd_range(). But there're few corner cases:
- HugeTLB can share PMD page tables. The patch handles by accounting
the table to all processes who share it.
- x86 PAE pre-allocates few PMD tables on fork.
- Architectures with FIRST_USER_ADDRESS > 0. We need to adjust sanity
check on exit(2).
Accounting only happens on configuration where PMD page table's level is
present (PMD is not folded). As with nr_ptes we use per-mm counter. The
counter value is used to calculate baseline for badness score by
oom-killer.

Commit 5695be142e ("OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM
suspend") has left a race window when OOM killer manages to
note_oom_kill after freeze_processes checks the counter. The race
window is quite small and really unlikely and partial solution deemed
sufficient at the time of submission.
Tejun wasn't happy about this partial solution though and insisted on a
full solution. That requires the full OOM and freezer's task freezing
exclusion, though. This is done by this patch which introduces oom_sem
RW lock and turns oom_killer_disable() into a full OOM barrier.
oom_killer_disabled check is moved from the allocation path to the OOM
level and we take oom_sem for reading for both the check and the whole
OOM invocation.
oom_killer_disable() takes oom_sem for writing so it waits for all
currently running OOM killer invocations. Then it disable all the further
OOMs by setting oom_killer_disabled and checks for any oom victims.
Victims are counted via mark_tsk_oom_victim resp. unmark_oom_victim. The
last victim wakes up all waiters enqueued by oom_killer_disable().
Therefore this function acts as the full OOM barrier.
The page fault path is covered now as well although it was assumed to be
safe before. As per Tejun, "We used to have freezing points deep in file
system code which may be reacheable from page fault." so it would be
better and more robust to not rely on freezing points here. Same applies
to the memcg OOM killer.
out_of_memory tells the caller whether the OOM was allowed to trigger and
the callers are supposed to handle the situation. The page allocation
path simply fails the allocation same as before. The page fault path will
retry the fault (more on that later) and Sysrq OOM trigger will simply
complain to the log.
Normally there wouldn't be any unfrozen user tasks after
try_to_freeze_tasks so the function will not block. But if there was an
OOM killer racing with try_to_freeze_tasks and the OOM victim didn't
finish yet then we have to wait for it. This should complete in a finite
time, though, because
- the victim cannot loop in the page fault handler (it would die
on the way out from the exception)
- it cannot loop in the page allocator because all the further
allocation would fail and __GFP_NOFAIL allocations are not
acceptable at this stage
- it shouldn't be blocked on any locks held by frozen tasks
(try_to_freeze expects lockless context) and kernel threads and
work queues are not frozen yet

oom_kill_process only sets TIF_MEMDIE flag and sends a signal to the
victim. This is basically noop when the task is frozen though because the
task sleeps in the uninterruptible sleep. The victim is eventually thawed
later when oom_scan_process_thread meets the task again in a later OOM
invocation so the OOM killer doesn't live lock. But this is less than
optimal.
Let's add __thaw_task into mark_tsk_oom_victim after we set TIF_MEMDIE to
the victim. We are not checking whether the task is frozen because that
would be racy and __thaw_task does that already. oom_scan_process_thread
doesn't need to care about freezer anymore as TIF_MEMDIE and freezer are
excluded completely now.

This patchset addresses a race which was described in the changelog for
5695be142e ("OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM suspend"):
: PM freezer relies on having all tasks frozen by the time devices are
: getting frozen so that no task will touch them while they are getting
: frozen. But OOM killer is allowed to kill an already frozen task in order
: to handle OOM situtation. In order to protect from late wake ups OOM
: killer is disabled after all tasks are frozen. This, however, still keeps
: a window open when a killed task didn't manage to die by the time
: freeze_processes finishes.
The original patch hasn't closed the race window completely because that
would require a more complex solution as it can be seen by this patchset.
The primary motivation was to close the race condition between OOM killer
and PM freezer _completely_. As Tejun pointed out, even though the race
condition is unlikely the harder it would be to debug weird bugs deep in
the PM freezer when the debugging options are reduced considerably. I can
only speculate what might happen when a task is still runnable
unexpectedly.
On a plus side and as a side effect the oom enable/disable has a better
(full barrier) semantic without polluting hot paths.
I have tested the series in KVM with 100M RAM:
- many small tasks (20M anon mmap) which are triggering OOM continually
- s2ram which resumes automatically is triggered in a loop
echo processors > /sys/power/pm_test
while true
do
echo mem > /sys/power/state
sleep 1s
done
- simple module which allocates and frees 20M in 8K chunks. If it sees
freezing(current) then it tries another round of allocation before calling
try_to_freeze
- debugging messages of PM stages and OOM killer enable/disable/fail added
and unmark_oom_victim is delayed by 1s after it clears TIF_MEMDIE and before
it wakes up waiters.
- rebased on top of the current mmotm which means some necessary updates
in mm/oom_kill.c. mark_tsk_oom_victim is now called under task_lock but
I think this should be OK because __thaw_task shouldn't interfere with any
locking down wake_up_process. Oleg?
As expected there are no OOM killed tasks after oom is disabled and
allocations requested by the kernel thread are failing after all the tasks
are frozen and OOM disabled. I wasn't able to catch a race where
oom_killer_disable would really have to wait but I kinda expected the race
is really unlikely.

Patches 3 and 4 are trivial printk -> pr_info conversion and they should

The main patch is the last one and I would appreciate acks from Tejun and
Rafael. I think the OOM part should be OK (except for __thaw_task vs.
task_lock where a look from Oleg would appreciated) but I am not so sure I
haven't screwed anything in the freezer code. I have found several
surprises there.
This patch (of 5):
This patch is just a preparatory and it doesn't introduce any functional
change.
Note:
I am utterly unhappy about lowmemory killer abusing TIF_MEMDIE just to
wait for the oom victim and to prevent from new killing. This is
just a side effect of the flag. The primary meaning is to give the oom
victim access to the memory reserves and that shouldn't be necessary
here.

Introduce the basic control files to account, partition, and limit
memory using cgroups in default hierarchy mode.
This interface versioning allows us to address fundamental design
issues in the existing memory cgroup interface, further explained
below. The old interface will be maintained indefinitely, but a
clearer model and improved workload performance should encourage
existing users to switch over to the new one eventually.
The control files are thus:
- memory.current shows the current consumption of the cgroup and its
descendants, in bytes.
- memory.low configures the lower end of the cgroup's expected
memory consumption range. The kernel considers memory below that
boundary to be a reserve - the minimum that the workload needs in
order to make forward progress - and generally avoids reclaiming
it, unless there is an imminent risk of entering an OOM situation.
- memory.high configures the upper end of the cgroup's expected
memory consumption range. A cgroup whose consumption grows beyond
this threshold is forced into direct reclaim, to work off the
excess and to throttle new allocations heavily, but is generally
allowed to continue and the OOM killer is not invoked.
- memory.max configures the hard maximum amount of memory that the
cgroup is allowed to consume before the OOM killer is invoked.
- memory.events shows event counters that indicate how often the
cgroup was reclaimed while below memory.low, how often it was
forced to reclaim excess beyond memory.high, how often it hit
memory.max, and how often it entered OOM due to memory.max. This
allows users to identify configuration problems when observing a
degradation in workload performance. An overcommitted system will
have an increased rate of low boundary breaches, whereas increased
rates of high limit breaches, maximum hits, or even OOM situations
will indicate internally overcommitted cgroups.
For existing users of memory cgroups, the following deviations from
the current interface are worth pointing out and explaining:
- The original lower boundary, the soft limit, is defined as a limit
that is per default unset. As a result, the set of cgroups that
global reclaim prefers is opt-in, rather than opt-out. The costs
for optimizing these mostly negative lookups are so high that the
implementation, despite its enormous size, does not even provide
the basic desirable behavior. First off, the soft limit has no
hierarchical meaning. All configured groups are organized in a
global rbtree and treated like equal peers, regardless where they
are located in the hierarchy. This makes subtree delegation
impossible. Second, the soft limit reclaim pass is so aggressive
that it not just introduces high allocation latencies into the
system, but also impacts system performance due to overreclaim, to
the point where the feature becomes self-defeating.
The memory.low boundary on the other hand is a top-down allocated
reserve. A cgroup enjoys reclaim protection when it and all its
ancestors are below their low boundaries, which makes delegation
of subtrees possible. Secondly, new cgroups have no reserve per
default and in the common case most cgroups are eligible for the
preferred reclaim pass. This allows the new low boundary to be
efficiently implemented with just a minor addition to the generic
reclaim code, without the need for out-of-band data structures and
reclaim passes. Because the generic reclaim code considers all
cgroups except for the ones running low in the preferred first
reclaim pass, overreclaim of individual groups is eliminated as
well, resulting in much better overall workload performance.
- The original high boundary, the hard limit, is defined as a strict
limit that can not budge, even if the OOM killer has to be called.
But this generally goes against the goal of making the most out of
the available memory. The memory consumption of workloads varies
during runtime, and that requires users to overcommit. But doing
that with a strict upper limit requires either a fairly accurate
prediction of the working set size or adding slack to the limit.
Since working set size estimation is hard and error prone, and
getting it wrong results in OOM kills, most users tend to err on
the side of a looser limit and end up wasting precious resources.
The memory.high boundary on the other hand can be set much more
conservatively. When hit, it throttles allocations by forcing
them into direct reclaim to work off the excess, but it never
invokes the OOM killer. As a result, a high boundary that is
chosen too aggressively will not terminate the processes, but
instead it will lead to gradual performance degradation. The user
can monitor this and make corrections until the minimal memory
footprint that still gives acceptable performance is found.
In extreme cases, with many concurrent allocations and a complete
breakdown of reclaim progress within the group, the high boundary
can be exceeded. But even then it's mostly better to satisfy the
allocation from the slack available in other groups or the rest of
the system than killing the group. Otherwise, memory.max is there
to limit this type of spillover and ultimately contain buggy or
even malicious applications.
- The original control file names are unwieldy and inconsistent in
many different ways. For example, the upper boundary hit count is
exported in the memory.failcnt file, but an OOM event count has to
be manually counted by listening to memory.oom_control events, and
lower boundary / soft limit events have to be counted by first
setting a threshold for that value and then counting those events.
Also, usage and limit files encode their units in the filename.
That makes the filenames very long, even though this is not
information that a user needs to be reminded of every time they
type out those names.
To address these naming issues, as well as to signal clearly that
the new interface carries a new configuration model, the naming
conventions in it necessarily differ from the old interface.
- The original limit files indicate the state of an unset limit with
a very high number, and a configured limit can be unset by echoing
-1 into those files. But that very high number is implementation
and architecture dependent and not very descriptive. And while -1
can be understood as an underflow into the highest possible value,
-2 or -10M etc. do not work, so it's not inconsistent.
memory.low, memory.high, and memory.max will use the string
"infinity" to indicate and set the highest possible value.

Since commit b2052564e6 ("mm: memcontrol: continue cache reclaim from
offlined groups") pages charged to a memory cgroup are not reparented when
the cgroup is removed. Instead, they are supposed to be reclaimed in a
regular way, along with pages accounted to online memory cgroups.
However, an lruvec of an offline memory cgroup will sooner or later get so
small that it will be scanned only at low scan priorities (see
get_scan_count()). Therefore, if there are enough reclaimable pages in
big lruvecs, pages accounted to offline memory cgroups will never be
scanned at all, wasting memory.
Fix this by unconditionally forcing scanning dead lruvecs from kswapd.

Although it was not called, destroy_compound_page() did some potentially
useful checks. Let's re-introduce them in free_pages_prepare(), where
they can be actually triggered when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y.
compound_order() assert is already in free_pages_prepare(). We have few
checks for tail pages left.

The only caller is __free_one_page(). By the time we should have
page->flags to be cleared already:
- for 0-order pages though PCP list:
free_hot_cold_page()
free_pages_prepare()
free_pages_check()
page->flags &= ~PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP;
<put the page to PCP list>
free_pcppages_bulk()
page = <withdraw pages from PCP list>
__free_one_page(page)
- for non-0-order pages:
__free_pages_ok()
free_pages_prepare()
free_pages_check()
page->flags &= ~PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP;
free_one_page()
__free_one_page()
So there's no way PageCompound() will return true in __free_one_page().
Let's remove dead destroy_compound_page() and put assert for page->flags
there instead.

next_zones_zonelist() returns a zoneref pointer, as well as a zone pointer
via extra parameter. Since the latter can be trivially obtained by
dereferencing the former, the overhead of the extra parameter is
unjustified.
This patch thus removes the zone parameter from next_zones_zonelist().
Both callers happen to be in the same header file, so it's simple to add
the zoneref dereference inline. We save some bytes of code size.

Expand the usage of the struct alloc_context introduced in the previous
patch also for calling try_to_compact_pages(), to reduce the number of its

passed between the alloc_pages* family of functions and
get_page_from_freelist(). This excludes gfp_flags and alloc_info, which
mutate too much along the way, and allocation order, which is conceptually

The result is shorter function signatures, as well as overal code size and

The possibility of replacing the numerous parameters of alloc_pages*
functions with a single structure has been discussed when Minchan proposed
to expand the x86 kernel stack [1]. This series implements the change,
along with few more cleanups/microoptimizations.
The series is based on next-20150108 and I used gcc 4.8.3 20140627 on
openSUSE 13.2 for compiling. Config includess NUMA and COMPACTION.
The core change is the introduction of a new struct alloc_context, which looks
like this:
struct alloc_context {
struct zonelist *zonelist;
nodemask_t *nodemask;
struct zone *preferred_zone;
int classzone_idx;
int migratetype;
enum zone_type high_zoneidx;
};
All the contents is mostly constant, except that __alloc_pages_slowpath()
changes preferred_zone, classzone_idx and potentially zonelist. But
that's not a problem in case control returns to retry_cpuset: in
__alloc_pages_nodemask(), those will be reset to initial values again
(although it's a bit subtle). On the other hand, gfp_flags and alloc_info
mutate so much that it doesn't make sense to put them into alloc_context.
Still, the result is one parameter instead of up to 7. This is all in
Patch 2.
Patch 3 is a step to expand alloc_context usage out of page_alloc.c
itself. The function try_to_compact_pages() can also much benefit from
the parameter reduction, but it means the struct definition has to be
moved to a shared header.
Patch 1 should IMHO be included even if the rest is deemed not useful
enough. It improves maintainability and also has some code/stack
reduction. Patch 4 is OTOH a tiny optimization.

This patch (of 4):
prep_new_page() sets almost everything in the struct page of the page
being allocated, except page->pfmemalloc. This is not obvious and has at
least once led to a bug where page->pfmemalloc was forgotten to be set
correctly, see commit 8fb74b9fb2 ("mm: compaction: partially revert
capture of suitable high-order page").
This patch moves the pfmemalloc setting to prep_new_page(), which means it
needs to gain alloc_flags parameter. The call to prep_new_page is moved
from buffered_rmqueue() to get_page_from_freelist(), which also leads to
simpler code. An obsolete comment for buffered_rmqueue() is replaced.
In addition to better maintainability there is a small reduction of code
and stack usage for get_page_from_freelist(), which inlines the other
functions involved.

When running the test which causes the race as shown in the previous patch,
we can hit the BUG "get_page() on refcount 0 page" in hugetlb_fault().
This race happens when pte turns into migration entry just after the first
check of is_hugetlb_entry_migration() in hugetlb_fault() passed with false.
To fix this, we need to check pte_present() again after huge_ptep_get().
This patch also reorders taking ptl and doing pte_page(), because
pte_page() should be done in ptl. Due to this reordering, we need use
trylock_page() in page != pagecache_page case to respect locking order.

We have a race condition between move_pages() and freeing hugepages, where
move_pages() calls follow_page(FOLL_GET) for hugepages internally and
tries to get its refcount without preventing concurrent freeing. This
race crashes the kernel, so this patch fixes it by moving FOLL_GET code
for hugepages into follow_huge_pmd() with taking the page table lock.
This patch intentionally removes page==NULL check after pte_page.
This is justified because pte_page() never returns NULL for any
architectures or configurations.
This patch changes the behavior of follow_huge_pmd() for tail pages and
then tail pages can be pinned/returned. So the caller must be changed to
properly handle the returned tail pages.
We could have a choice to add the similar locking to
follow_huge_(addr|pud) for consistency, but it's not necessary because
currently these functions don't support FOLL_GET flag, so let's leave it
for future development.

Migrating hugepages and hwpoisoned hugepages are considered as non-present
hugepages, and they are referenced via migration entries and hwpoison
entries in their page table slots.
This behavior causes race condition because pmd_huge() doesn't tell
non-huge pages from migrating/hwpoisoned hugepages. follow_page_mask() is
one example where the kernel would call follow_page_pte() for such
hugepage while this function is supposed to handle only normal pages.
To avoid this, this patch makes pmd_huge() return true when pmd_none() is
true *and* pmd_present() is false. We don't have to worry about mixing up
non-present pmd entry with normal pmd (pointing to leaf level pte entry)
because pmd_present() is true in normal pmd.
The same race condition could happen in (x86-specific) gup_pmd_range(),
where this patch simply adds pmd_present() check instead of pmd_huge().
This is because gup_pmd_range() is fast path. If we have non-present
hugepage in this function, we will go into gup_huge_pmd(), then return 0
at flag mask check, and finally fall back to the slow path.

Currently we have many duplicates in definitions around
follow_huge_addr(), follow_huge_pmd(), and follow_huge_pud(), so this
patch tries to remove the m. The basic idea is to put the default
implementation for these functions in mm/hugetlb.c as weak symbols
(regardless of CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETL B), and to implement
arch-specific code only when the arch needs it.
For follow_huge_addr(), only powerpc and ia64 have their own
implementation, and in all other architectures this function just returns
ERR_PTR(-EINVAL). So this patch sets returning ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) as
default.
As for follow_huge_(pmd|pud)(), if (pmd|pud)_huge() is implemented to
always return 0 in your architecture (like in ia64 or sparc,) it's never
called (the callsite is optimized away) no matter how implemented it is.
So in such architectures, we don't need arch-specific implementation.
In some architecture (like mips, s390 and tile,) their current
arch-specific follow_huge_(pmd|pud)() are effectively identical with the
common code, so this patch lets these architecture use the common code.
One exception is metag, where pmd_huge() could return non-zero but it
expects follow_huge_pmd() to always return NULL. This means that we need
arch-specific implementation which returns NULL. This behavior looks
strange to me (because non-zero pmd_huge() implies that the architecture
supports PMD-based hugepage, so follow_huge_pmd() can/should return some
relevant value,) but that's beyond this cleanup patch, so let's keep it.
Justification of non-trivial changes:
- in s390, follow_huge_pmd() checks !MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE at first, and this
patch removes the check. This is OK because we can assume MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE
is true when follow_huge_pmd() can be called (note that pmd_huge() has
the same check and always returns 0 for !MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE.)
- in s390 and mips, we use HPAGE_MASK instead of PMD_MASK as done in common
code. This patch forces these archs use PMD_MASK, but it's OK because
they are identical in both archs.
In s390, both of HPAGE_SHIFT and PMD_SHIFT are 20.
In mips, HPAGE_SHIFT is defined as (PAGE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT - 3) and
PMD_SHIFT is define as (PAGE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT + PTE_ORDER - 3), but
PTE_ORDER is always 0, so these are identical.

is reached in the next loop iteration. Processes might also be left
waiting if zone was fully balanced in single iteration. Note that the
comment in balance_pgdat() also says "Wake them", so waking up a single
process does not seem intentional.
Thus, replace wake_up() with wake_up_all().

Now kmemcheck_pagealloc_alloc() is only called by __alloc_pages_slowpath().
__alloc_pages_nodemask()
__alloc_pages_slowpath()
kmemcheck_pagealloc_alloc()
And the page will not be tracked by kmemcheck in the following path.
__alloc_pages_nodemask()
get_page_from_freelist()
So move kmemcheck_pagealloc_alloc() into __alloc_pages_nodemask(),

__alloc_pages_nodemask()
...
get_page_from_freelist()
if (!page)

__alloc_pages_nodemask() strips __GFP_IO when retrying the page
allocation. But it does this by altering the function-wide variable
gfp_mask. This will cause subsequent allocation attempts to inadvertently
use the modified gfp_mask.
Also, pass the correct mask (the mask we actually used) into
trace_mm_page_alloc().

OOM killer tries to exclude tasks which do not have mm_struct associated
because killing such a task wouldn't help much. The OOM victim gets
TIF_MEMDIE set to disable OOM killer while the current victim releases the
memory and then enables the OOM killer again by dropping the flag.
oom_kill_process is currently prone to a race condition when the OOM
victim is already exiting and TIF_MEMDIE is set after the task releases
its address space. This might theoretically lead to OOM livelock if the
OOM victim blocks on an allocation later during exiting because it
wouldn't kill any other process and the exiting one won't be able to exit.
The situation is highly unlikely because the OOM victim is expected to
release some memory which should help to sort out OOM situation.
Fix this by checking task->mm and setting TIF_MEMDIE flag under task_lock
which will serialize the OOM killer with exit_mm which sets task->mm to
NULL. Setting the flag for current is not necessary because check and set
is not racy.

out_of_memory() doesn't trigger the OOM killer if the current task is
already exiting or it has fatal signals pending, and gives the task
access to memory reserves instead. However, doing so is wrong if
out_of_memory() is called by an allocation (e.g. from exit_task_work())
after the current task has already released its memory and cleared
TIF_MEMDIE at exit_mm(). If we again set TIF_MEMDIE to post-exit_mm()
current task, the OOM killer will be blocked by the task sitting in the
final schedule() waiting for its parent to reap it. It will trigger an
OOM livelock if its parent is unable to reap it due to doing an
allocation and waiting for the OOM killer to kill it.

Merge misc updates from Andrew Morton:
"Bite-sized chunks this time, to avoid the MTA ratelimiting woes.
- fs/notify updates

That laconic "some MM" is mainly the removal of remap_file_pages(),
which is a big simplification of the VM, and which gets rid of a *lot*
of random cruft and special cases because we no longer support the
non-linear mappings that it used.
From a user interface perspective, nothing has changed, because the
remap_file_pages() syscall still exists, it's just done by emulating the
old behavior by creating a lot of individual small mappings instead of
one non-linear one.
The emulation is slower than the old "native" non-linear mappings, but
nobody really uses or cares about remap_file_pages(), and simplifying
the VM is a big advantage.

mem_cgroup->memcg_slab_caches is a list of kmem caches corresponding to
the given cgroup. Currently, it is only used on css free in order to
destroy all caches corresponding to the memory cgroup being freed. The
list is protected by memcg_slab_mutex. The mutex is also used to protect
kmem_cache->memcg_params->memcg_caches arrays and synchronizes
kmem_cache_destroy vs memcg_unregister_all_caches.
However, we can perfectly get on without these two. To destroy all caches
corresponding to a memory cgroup, we can walk over the global list of kmem
caches, slab_caches, and we can do all the synchronization stuff using the
slab_mutex instead of the memcg_slab_mutex. This patch therefore gets rid
of the memcg_slab_caches and memcg_slab_mutex.
Apart from this nice cleanup, it also:
- assures that rcu_barrier() is called once at max when a root cache is
destroyed or a memory cgroup is freed, no matter how many caches have
SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU flag set;
- fixes the race between kmem_cache_destroy and kmem_cache_create that
exists, because memcg_cleanup_cache_params, which is called from
kmem_cache_destroy after checking that kmem_cache->refcount=0,
releases the slab_mutex, which gives kmem_cache_create a chance to
make an alias to a cache doomed to be destroyed.

If the freeing page and its buddy page are not at the same zone, the
current holding zone->lock for the freeing page cann't prevent buddy page
getting allocated, this could trigger VM_BUG_ON_PAGE in page_is_buddy() at
a very tiny chance, such as:
cpu 0: cpu 1:
hold zone_1 lock
check page and it buddy
PageBuddy(buddy) is true hold zone_2 lock
page_order(buddy) == order is true alloc buddy
trigger VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_count(buddy) != 0)
zone_1->lock prevents the freeing page getting allocated
zone_2->lock prevents the buddy page getting allocated
they are not the same zone->lock.
If we can't remove the zone_id check statement, it's better handle this
rare race. This patch fixes this by placing the zone_id check before the
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE check.

Whether there is a vm_ops->page_mkwrite or not, the page dirtying is
pretty much the same. Make sure the page references are the same in both
cases, then merge the two branches.
It's tempting to go even further and page-lock the !page_mkwrite case, to
get it in line with everybody else setting the page table and thus further
simplify the model. But that's not quite compelling enough to justify
dropping the pte lock, then relocking and verifying the entry for
filesystems without ->page_mkwrite, which notably includes tmpfs. Leave
it for now and lock the page late in the !page_mkwrite case.

We have remap_file_pages(2) emulation in -mm tree for few release cycles
and we plan to have it mainline in v3.20. This patchset removes rest of
VM_NONLINEAR infrastructure.
Patches 1-8 take care about generic code. They are pretty
straight-forward and can be applied without other of patches.
Rest patches removes pte_file()-related stuff from architecture-specific
code. It usually frees up one bit in non-present pte. I've tried to reuse
that bit for swap offset, where I was able to figure out how to do that.
For obvious reason I cannot test all that arch-specific code and would
like to see acks from maintainers.
In total, remap_file_pages(2) required about 1.4K lines of not-so-trivial
kernel code. That's too much for functionality nobody uses.

remap_file_pages(2) was invented to be able efficiently map parts of
huge file into limited 32-bit virtual address space such as in database
workloads.
Nonlinear mappings are pain to support and it seems there's no
legitimate use-cases nowadays since 64-bit systems are widely available.
Let's drop it and get rid of all these special-cased code.
The patch replaces the syscall with emulation which creates new VMA on
each remap_file_pages(), unless they it can be merged with an adjacent
one.
I didn't find *any* real code that uses remap_file_pages(2) to test
emulation impact on. I've checked Debian code search and source of all
packages in ALT Linux. No real users: libc wrappers, mentions in
strace, gdb, valgrind and this kind of stuff.
There are few basic tests in LTP for the syscall. They work just fine
with emulation.
To test performance impact, I've written small test case which
demonstrate pretty much worst case scenario: map 4G shmfs file, write to
begin of every page pgoff of the page, remap pages in reverse order,
read every page.
The test creates 1 million of VMAs if emulation is in use, so I had to
set vm.max_map_count to 1100000 to avoid -ENOMEM.
Before: 23.3 ( +- 4.31% ) seconds
After: 43.9 ( +- 0.85% ) seconds

We had to insert a preempt enable/disable in the fastpath a while ago in
order to guarantee that tid and kmem_cache_cpu are retrieved on the same
cpu. It is the problem only for CONFIG_PREEMPT in which scheduler can
move the process to other cpu during retrieving data.
Now, I reach the solution to remove preempt enable/disable in the
fastpath. If tid is matched with kmem_cache_cpu's tid after tid and
kmem_cache_cpu are retrieved by separate this_cpu operation, it means
that they are retrieved on the same cpu. If not matched, we just have
to retry it.
With this guarantee, preemption enable/disable isn't need at all even if
CONFIG_PREEMPT, so this patch removes it.
I saw roughly 5% win in a fast-path loop over kmem_cache_alloc/free in
CONFIG_PREEMPT. (14.821 ns -> 14.049 ns)

Note that this change slightly worses performance in !CONFIG_PREEMPT,

but, since it's so marginal, I didn't do that. This would help
maintanance since we have same code for all cases.

It has been reported that 965GM might trigger
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!lrucare && PageLRU(oldpage), oldpage)
in mem_cgroup_migrate when shmem wants to replace a swap cache page
because of shmem_should_replace_page (the page is allocated from an
inappropriate zone). shmem_replace_page expects that the oldpage is not
on LRU list and calls mem_cgroup_migrate without lrucare. This is
obviously incorrect because swapcache pages might be on the LRU list
(e.g. swapin readahead page).
Fix this by enabling lrucare for the migration in shmem_replace_page.
Also clarify that lrucare should be used even if one of the pages might
be on LRU list.
The BUG_ON will trigger only when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled but even
without that the migration code might leave the old page on an
inappropriate memcg' LRU which is not that critical because the page
would get removed with its last reference but it is still confusing.

walk_page_range() silently skips vma having VM_PFNMAP set, which leads
to undesirable behaviour at client end (who called walk_page_range).
Userspace applications get the wrong data, so the effect is like just
confusing users (if the applications just display the data) or sometimes
killing the processes (if the applications do something with
misunderstanding virtual addresses due to the wrong data.)
For example for pagemap_read, when no callbacks are called against
VM_PFNMAP vma, pagemap_read may prepare pagemap data for next virtual
address range at wrong index.
Eventually userspace may get wrong pagemap data for a task.
Corresponding to a VM_PFNMAP marked vma region, kernel may report
mappings from subsequent vma regions. User space in turn may account
more pages (than really are) to the task.
In my case I was using procmem, procrack (Android utility) which uses
pagemap interface to account RSS pages of a task. Due to this bug it
was giving a wrong picture for vmas (with VM_PFNMAP set).

Add a new mount option which enables a new "lazytime" mode. This mode
causes atime, mtime, and ctime updates to only be made to the
in-memory version of the inode. The on-disk times will only get
updated when (a) if the inode needs to be updated for some non-time
related change, (b) if userspace calls fsync(), syncfs() or sync(), or
(c) just before an undeleted inode is evicted from memory.
This is OK according to POSIX because there are no guarantees after a
crash unless userspace explicitly requests via a fsync(2) call.
For workloads which feature a large number of random write to a
preallocated file, the lazytime mount option significantly reduces
writes to the inode table. The repeated 4k writes to a single block
will result in undesirable stress on flash devices and SMR disk
drives. Even on conventional HDD's, the repeated writes to the inode
table block will trigger Adjacent Track Interference (ATI) remediation
latencies, which very negatively impact long tail latencies --- which
is a very big deal for web serving tiers (for example).

The stack guard page error case has long incorrectly caused a SIGBUS
rather than a SIGSEGV, but nobody actually noticed until commit
fee7e49d45 ("mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard
page") because that error case was never actually triggered in any
normal situations.
Now that we actually report the error, people noticed the wrong signal
that resulted. So far, only the test suite of libsigsegv seems to have
actually cared, but there are real applications that use libsigsegv, so
let's not wait for any of those to break.

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.
That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works. However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.
In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV. And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.
However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d45 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space. And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.
To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it. They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.
This is the mindless minimal patch to do this. A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.
Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.

The optional find_special_page VMA operation is used to lookup the
pages backing a VMA. This is useful in cases where the normal
mechanisms for finding the page don't work. This is only called if
the PTE is special.
One use case is a Xen PV guest mapping foreign pages into userspace.
In a Xen PV guest, the PTEs contain MFNs so get_user_pages() (for
example) must do an MFN to PFN (M2P) lookup before it can get the
page. For foreign pages (those owned by another guest) the M2P lookup
returns the PFN as seen by the foreign guest (which would be
completely the wrong page for the local guest).
This cannot be fixed up improving the M2P lookup since one MFN may be
mapped onto two or more pages so getting the right page is impossible
given just the MFN.

The OOM killing invocation does a lot of duplicative checks against the
task's allocation context. Rework it to take advantage of the existing
checks in the allocator slowpath.
The OOM killer is invoked when the allocator is unable to reclaim any
pages but the allocation has to keep looping. Instead of having a check
for __GFP_NORETRY hidden in oom_gfp_allowed(), just move the OOM
invocation to the true branch of should_alloc_retry(). The __GFP_FS
check from oom_gfp_allowed() can then be moved into the OOM avoidance
branch in __alloc_pages_may_oom(), along with the PF_DUMPCORE test.
__alloc_pages_may_oom() can then signal to the caller whether the OOM
killer was invoked, instead of requiring it to duplicate the order and
high_zoneidx checks to guess this when deciding whether to continue.

If we have dirty inodes we need to call the filesystem for it, even if the
device has been removed and the filesystem will error out early. The
current code does that by reassining all dirty inodes to the default
backing_dev_info when a bdi is unlinked, but that's pretty pointless given
that the bdi must always outlive the super block.
Instead of stopping writeback at unregister time and moving inodes to the
default bdi just keep the current bdi alive until it is destroyed. The
containing objects of the bdi ensure this doesn't happen until all
writeback has finished by erroring out.

When batching up address ranges for TLB invalidation, we check tlb->end
!= 0 to indicate that some pages have actually been unmapped.
As of commit f045bbb9fa ("mmu_gather: fix over-eager
tlb_flush_mmu_free() calling"), we use the same check for freeing these
pages in order to avoid a performance regression where we call
free_pages_and_swap_cache even when no pages are actually queued up.
Unfortunately, the range could have been reset (tlb->end = 0) by
tlb_end_vma, which has been shown to cause memory leaks on arm64.
Furthermore, investigation into these leaks revealed that the fullmm
case on task exit no longer invalidates the TLB, by virtue of tlb->end
== 0 (in 3.18, need_flush would have been set).
This patch resolves the problem by reverting commit f045bbb9fa, using
instead tlb->local.nr as the predicate for page freeing in
tlb_flush_mmu_free and ensuring that tlb->end is initialised to a
non-zero value in the fullmm case.

Fix for BUG_ON(anon_vma->degree) splashes in unlink_anon_vmas() ("kernel
BUG at mm/rmap.c:399!") caused by commit 7a3ef208e6 ("mm: prevent
endless growth of anon_vma hierarchy")
Anon_vma_clone() is usually called for a copy of source vma in
destination argument. If source vma has anon_vma it should be already
in dst->anon_vma. NULL in dst->anon_vma is used as a sign that it's
called from anon_vma_fork(). In this case anon_vma_clone() finds
anon_vma for reusing.
Vma_adjust() calls it differently and this breaks anon_vma reusing
logic: anon_vma_clone() links vma to old anon_vma and updates degree
counters but vma_adjust() overrides vma->anon_vma right after that. As
a result final unlink_anon_vmas() decrements degree for wrong anon_vma.
This patch assigns ->anon_vma before calling anon_vma_clone().

Commit fee7e49d45 ("mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for
guard page") made sure that we return the error properly for stack
growth conditions. It also theorized that counting the guard page
towards the stack limit might break something, but also said "Let's see
if anybody notices".
Somebody did notice. Apparently android-x86 sets the stack limit very
close to the limit indeed, and including the guard page in the rlimit
check causes the android 'zygote' process problems.
So this adds the (fairly trivial) code to make the stack rlimit check be
against the actual real stack size, rather than the size of the vma that
includes the guard page.

Charles Shirron and Paul Cassella from Cray Inc have reported kswapd
stuck in a busy loop with nothing left to balance, but
kswapd_try_to_sleep() failing to sleep. Their analysis found the cause
to be a combination of several factors:
1. A process is waiting in throttle_direct_reclaim() on pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait
2. The process has been killed (by OOM in this case), but has not yet been
scheduled to remove itself from the waitqueue and die.
3. kswapd checks for throttled processes in prepare_kswapd_sleep():
if (waitqueue_active(&pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait)) {
wake_up(&pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait);
return false; // kswapd will not go to sleep
}
However, for a process that was already killed, wake_up() does not remove
the process from the waitqueue, since try_to_wake_up() checks its state
first and returns false when the process is no longer waiting.
4. kswapd is running on the same CPU as the only CPU that the process is
allowed to run on (through cpus_allowed, or possibly single-cpu system).
5. CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y kernel is used. If there's nothing to balance, kswapd
encounters no voluntary preemption points and repeatedly fails
prepare_kswapd_sleep(), blocking the process from running and removing
itself from the waitqueue, which would let kswapd sleep.
So, the source of the problem is that we prevent kswapd from going to
sleep until there are processes waiting on the pfmemalloc_wait queue,
and a process waiting on a queue is guaranteed to be removed from the
queue only when it gets scheduled. This was done to make sure that no
process is left sleeping on pfmemalloc_wait when kswapd itself goes to
sleep.
However, it isn't necessary to postpone kswapd sleep until the
pfmemalloc_wait queue actually empties. To prevent processes from being
left sleeping, it's actually enough to guarantee that all processes
waiting on pfmemalloc_wait queue have been woken up by the time we put
kswapd to sleep.
This patch therefore fixes this issue by substituting 'wake_up' with
'wake_up_all' and removing 'return false' in the code snippet from
prepare_kswapd_sleep() above. Note that if any process puts itself in
the queue after this waitqueue_active() check, or after the wake up
itself, it means that the process will also wake up kswapd - and since
we are under prepare_to_wait(), the wake up won't be missed. Also we
update the comment prepare_kswapd_sleep() to hopefully more clearly
describe the races it is preventing.

We are supposed to take one css reference per each memory page and per
each swap entry accounted to a memory cgroup. However, during task
charges migration we take a reference to the destination cgroup twice
per each swap entry: first in mem_cgroup_do_precharge()->try_charge()
and then in mem_cgroup_move_swap_account(), permanently leaking the
destination cgroup.
The hunk taking the second reference seems to be a leftover from the
pre-00501b531c472 ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite charge API") era. Remove it
to fix the leak.

Commit 3e32cb2e0a ("mm: memcontrol: lockless page counters")
accidentally switched the soft limit default from infinity to zero,
which turns all memcgs with even a single page into soft limit excessors
and engages soft limit reclaim on all of them during global memory
pressure. This makes global reclaim generally more aggressive, but also
inverts the meaning of existing soft limit configurations where unset
soft limits are usually more generous than set ones.

Tejun, while reviewing the code, spotted the following race condition
between the dirtying and truncation of a page:
__set_page_dirty_nobuffers() __delete_from_page_cache()
if (TestSetPageDirty(page))
page->mapping = NULL
if (PageDirty())
dec_zone_page_state(page, NR_FILE_DIRTY);
dec_bdi_stat(mapping->backing_dev_info, BDI_RECLAIMABLE);
if (page->mapping)
account_page_dirtied(page)
__inc_zone_page_state(page, NR_FILE_DIRTY);
__inc_bdi_stat(mapping->backing_dev_info, BDI_RECLAIMABLE);
which results in an imbalance of NR_FILE_DIRTY and BDI_RECLAIMABLE.
Dirtiers usually lock out truncation, either by holding the page lock
directly, or in case of zap_pte_range(), by pinning the mapcount with
the page table lock held. The notable exception to this rule, though,
is do_wp_page(), for which this race exists. However, do_wp_page()
already waits for a locked page to unlock before setting the dirty bit,
in order to prevent a race where clear_page_dirty() misses the page bit
in the presence of dirty ptes. Upgrade that wait to a fully locked
set_page_dirty() to also cover the situation explained above.
Afterwards, the code in set_page_dirty() dealing with a truncation race
is no longer needed. Remove it.

Constantly forking task causes unlimited grow of anon_vma chain. Each
next child allocates new level of anon_vmas and links vma to all
previous levels because pages might be inherited from any level.
This patch adds heuristic which decides to reuse existing anon_vma
instead of forking new one. It adds counter anon_vma->degree which
counts linked vmas and directly descending anon_vmas and reuses anon_vma
if counter is lower than two. As a result each anon_vma has either vma
or at least two descending anon_vmas. In such trees half of nodes are
leafs with alive vmas, thus count of anon_vmas is no more than two times
bigger than count of vmas.
This heuristic reuses anon_vmas as few as possible because each reuse
adds false aliasing among vmas and rmap walker ought to scan more ptes
when it searches where page is might be mapped.

Jay Foad reports that the address sanitizer test (asan) sometimes gets
confused by a stack pointer that ends up being outside the stack vma
that is reported by /proc/maps.
This happens due to an interaction between RLIMIT_STACK and the guard
page: when we do the guard page check, we ignore the potential error
from the stack expansion, which effectively results in a missing guard
page, since the expected stack expansion won't have been done.
And since /proc/maps explicitly ignores the guard page (commit
d7824370e263: "mm: fix up some user-visible effects of the stack guard
page"), the stack pointer ends up being outside the reported stack area.
This is the minimal patch: it just propagates the error. It also
effectively makes the guard page part of the stack limit, which in turn
measn that the actual real stack is one page less than the stack limit.
Let's see if anybody notices. We could teach acct_stack_growth() to
allow an extra page for a grow-up/grow-down stack in the rlimit test,
but I don't want to add more complexity if it isn't needed.

SRCU is not necessary to be compiled by default in all cases. For tinification
efforts not compiling SRCU unless necessary is desirable.
The current patch tries to make compiling SRCU optional by introducing a new
Kconfig option CONFIG_SRCU which is selected when any of the components making
use of SRCU are selected.
If we do not select CONFIG_SRCU, srcu.o will not be compiled at all.

Commit 2457aec637 ("mm: non-atomically mark page accessed during page
cache allocation where possible") has added a separate parameter for
specifying gfp mask for radix tree allocations.
Not only this is less than optimal from the API point of view because it
is error prone, it is also buggy currently because
grab_cache_page_write_begin is using GFP_KERNEL for radix tree and if
fgp_flags doesn't contain FGP_NOFS (mostly controlled by fs by
AOP_FLAG_NOFS flag) but the mapping_gfp_mask has __GFP_FS cleared then
the radix tree allocation wouldn't obey the restriction and might
recurse into filesystem and cause deadlocks. This is the case for most
filesystems unfortunately because only ext4 and gfs2 are using
AOP_FLAG_NOFS.
Let's simply remove radix_gfp_mask parameter because the allocation
context is same for both page cache and for the radix tree. Just make
sure that the radix tree gets only the sane subset of the mask (e.g. do
not pass __GFP_WRITE).
Long term it is more preferable to convert remaining users of
AOP_FLAG_NOFS to use mapping_gfp_mask instead and simplify this
interface even further.

ACCESS_ONCE might fail with specific compilers for non-scalar accesses.
Here is a set of patches to tackle that problem.
The first patch introduce READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE. If the data structure
is larger than the machine word size memcpy is used and a warning is emitted.
The next patches fix up several in-tree users of ACCESS_ONCE on non-scalar
types.
This merge does not yet contain a patch that forces ACCESS_ONCE to work only
on scalar types. This is targetted for the next merge window as Linux next
already contains new offenders regarding ACCESS_ONCE vs. non-scalar types.

Currently functions in zsmalloc.c does not arranged in a readable and
reasonable sequence. With the more and more functions added, we may
meet below inconvenience. For example:
Current functions:
void zs_init()
{
}
static void get_maxobj_per_zspage()
{
}
Then I want to add a func_1() which is called from zs_init(), and this
new added function func_1() will used get_maxobj_per_zspage() which is
defined below zs_init().
void func_1()
{
get_maxobj_per_zspage()
}
void zs_init()
{
func_1()
}
static void get_maxobj_per_zspage()
{
}
This will cause compiling issue. So we must add a declaration:
static void get_maxobj_per_zspage();
before func_1() if we do not put get_maxobj_per_zspage() before
func_1().
In addition, puting module_[init|exit] functions at the bottom of the
file conforms to our habit.
So, this patch ajusts function sequence as:
/* helper functions */
...
obj_location_to_handle()
...
/* Some exported functions */
...
zs_map_object()
zs_unmap_object()
zs_malloc()
zs_free()
zs_init()
zs_exit()
