Protect the inode writeback list with a new global lock
inode_wb_list_lock and use it to protect the list manipulations and
traversals. This lock replaces the inode_lock as the inodes on the
list can be validity checked while holding the inode->i_lock and
hence the inode_lock is no longer needed to protect the list.

Protect inode state transitions and validity checks with the
inode->i_lock. This enables us to make inode state transitions
independently of the inode_lock and is the first step to peeling
away the inode_lock from the code.
This requires that __iget() is done atomically with i_state checks
during list traversals so that we don't race with another thread
marking the inode I_FREEING between the state check and grabbing the
reference.
Also remove the unlock_new_inode() memory barrier optimisation
required to avoid taking the inode_lock when clearing I_NEW.
Simplify the code by simply taking the inode->i_lock around the
state change and wakeup. Because the wakeup is no longer tricky,
remove the wake_up_inode() function and open code the wakeup where
necessary.

SLUB: Write to per cpu data when allocating it
slub: Fix debugobjects with lockless fastpath
Commit ddd588b5dd ("oom: suppress nodes that are not allowed from
meminfo on oom kill") moved lib/show_mem.o out of lib/lib.a, which
resulted in build warnings on all architectures that implement their own
versions of show_mem():
lib/lib.a(show_mem.o): In function `show_mem':
show_mem.c:(.text+0x1f4): multiple definition of `show_mem'
arch/sparc/mm/built-in.o:(.text+0xd70): first defined here
The fix is to remove __show_mem() and add its argument to show_mem() in
all implementations to prevent this breakage.
Architectures that implement their own show_mem() actually don't do
anything with the argument yet, but they could be made to filter nodes
that aren't allowed in the current context in the future just like the
generic implementation.

It turns out that the cmpxchg16b emulation has to access vmalloced
percpu memory with interrupts disabled. If the memory has never
been touched before then the fault necessary to establish the
mapping will not to occur and the kernel will fail on boot.
Fix that by reusing the CONFIG_PREEMPT code that writes the
cpu number into a field on every cpu. Writing to the per cpu
area before causes the mapping to be established before we get
to a cmpxchg16b emulation.

When a memcg is oom and current has already received a SIGKILL, then give
it access to memory reserves with a higher scheduling priority so that it
may quickly exit and free its memory.
This is identical to the global oom killer and is done even before
checking for panic_on_oom: a pending SIGKILL here while panic_on_oom is
selected is guaranteed to have come from userspace; the thread only needs
access to memory reserves to exit and thus we don't unnecessarily panic
the machine until the kernel has no last resort to free memory.

fs/fuse/dev.c::fuse_try_move_page() does
(1) remove a page by ->steal()
(2) re-add the page to page cache
(3) link the page to LRU if it was not on LRU at (1)
This implies the page is _on_ LRU when it's added to radix-tree. So, the
page is added to memory cgroup while it's on LRU. because LRU is lazy and
no one flushs it.
This is the same behavior as SwapCache and needs special care as
- remove page from LRU before overwrite pc->mem_cgroup.
- add page to LRU after overwrite pc->mem_cgroup.
And we need to taking care of pagevec.
If PageLRU(page) is set before we add PCG_USED bit, the page will not be
added to memcg's LRU (in short period). So, regardlress of PageLRU(page)
value before commit_charge(), we need to check PageLRU(page) after
commit_charge().

Currently we are allocating a single page_cgroup array per memory section
(stored in mem_section->base) when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM is selected. This is
correct but memory inefficient solution because the allocated memory
(unless we fall back to vmalloc) is not kmalloc friendly:
- 32b - 16384 entries (20B per entry) fit into 327680B so the
524288B slab cache is used
- 32b with PAE - 131072 entries with 2621440B fit into 4194304B
- 64b - 32768 entries (40B per entry) fit into 2097152 cache
This is ~37% wasted space per memory section and it sumps up for the whole
memory. On a x86_64 machine it is something like 6MB per 1GB of RAM.
We can reduce the internal fragmentation by using alloc_pages_exact which
allocates PAGE_SIZE aligned blocks so we will get down to <4kB wasted
memory per section which is much better.
We still need a fallback to vmalloc because we have no guarantees that we
will have a continuous memory of that size (order-10) later on during the
hotplug events.

For increasing and decreasing per-cpu cgroup usage counters it makes sense
to use signed types, as single per-cpu values might go negative during
updates. But this is not the case for only-ever-increasing event
counters.
All the counters have been signed 64-bit so far, which was enough to count
events even with the sign bit wasted.
This patch:
- divides s64 counters into signed usage counters and unsigned
monotonically increasing event counters.
- converts unsigned event counters into 'unsigned long' rather than
'u64'. This matches the type used by the /proc/vmstat event counters.
The next patch narrows the signed usage counters type (on 32-bit CPUs,
that is).

The per-cgroup LRU lists string up 'struct page_cgroup's. To get from
those structures to the page they represent, a lookup is required.
Currently, the lookup is done through a direct pointer in struct
page_cgroup, so a lot of functions down the callchain do this lookup by
themselves instead of receiving the page pointer from their callers.
The next patch removes this pointer, however, and the lookup is no longer
that straight-forward. In preparation for that, this patch only leaves
the non-optional lookups when coming directly from the LRU list and passes

This patch series removes the direct page pointer from struct page_cgroup,
which saves 20% of per-page memcg memory overhead (Fedora and Ubuntu
enable memcg per default, openSUSE apparently too).
The node id or section number is encoded in the remaining free bits of
pc->flags which allows calculating the corresponding page without the
extra pointer.
I ran, what I think is, a worst-case microbenchmark that just cats a large
sparse file to /dev/null, because it means that walking the LRU list on
behalf of per-cgroup reclaim and looking up pages from page_cgroups is
happening constantly and at a high rate. But it made no measurable
difference. A profile reported a 0.11% share of the new
lookup_cgroup_page() function in this benchmark.
This patch:
All callsites check PCG_USED before passing pc->mem_cgroup, so the latter
is never NULL.

Since transparent huge pages, checking whether memory cgroups are below
their limits is no longer enough, but the actual amount of chargeable
space is important.
To not have more than one limit-checking interface, replace
memory_cgroup_check_under_limit() and memory_cgroup_check_margin() with a
single memory_cgroup_margin() that returns the chargeable space and leaves
the comparison to the callsite.
Soft limits are now checked the other way round, by using the already
existing function that returns the amount by which soft limits are
exceeded: res_counter_soft_limit_excess().
Also remove all the corresponding functions on the res_counter side that

Remove initialization of vaiable in caller of memory cgroup function.
Actually, it's return value of memcg function but it's initialized in
caller.
Some memory cgroup uses following style to bring the result of start
function to the end function for avoiding races.
mem_cgroup_start_A(&(*ptr))
/* Something very complicated can happen here. */
mem_cgroup_end_A(*ptr)
In some calls, *ptr should be initialized to NULL be caller. But it's
ugly. This patch fixes that *ptr is initialized by _start function.

Introduce an internal helper __access_remote_vm and base access_process_vm on
top of it. This new method may be called with a NULL task_struct if page fault
accounting is not desired. This code will be shared with a new address space
accessor that is independent of task_struct.

Morally, the question of whether an address lies in a gate vma should be asked
with respect to an mm, not a particular task. Moreover, dropping the dependency
on task_struct will help make existing and future operations on mm's more
flexible and convenient.

Morally, the presence of a gate vma is more an attribute of a particular mm than

A conflict between 52c50567d8 ("mm: swap: unlock swapfile inode mutex
before closing file on bad swapfiles") and 83ef99befc ("sys_swapon:
remove did_down variable") caused a double unlock of the inode mutex
(once in bad_swap: before the filp_close, once at the end just before
returning).
The patch which added the extra unlock cleared did_down to avoid
unlocking twice, but the other patch removed the did_down variable.
To fix, set inode to NULL after the first unlock, since it will be used
after that point only for the final unlock.
While checking this patch, I found a path which could unlock without
locking, in case the same inode was added as a swapfile twice. To fix,
move the setting of the inode variable further down, to just before
claim_swapfile, which will lock the inode before doing anything else.

Up to 2.6.22, you could use remap_file_pages(2) on a tmpfs file or a
shared mapping of /dev/zero or a shared anonymous mapping. In 2.6.23 we
disabled it by default, but set VM_CAN_NONLINEAR to enable it on safe
mappings. We made sure to set it in shmem_mmap() for tmpfs files, but
missed it in shmem_zero_setup() for the others. Fix that at last.

Currently memblock_reserve() or memblock_free() don't handle overlaps of
any kind. There is some special casing for coalescing exactly adjacent
regions but that's about it.
This is annoying because typically memblock_reserve() is used to mark
regions passed by the firmware as reserved and we all know how much we can
trust our firmwares...
Also, with the current code, if we do something it doesn't handle right
such as trying to memblock_reserve() a large range spanning multiple
existing smaller reserved regions for example, or doing overlapping
reservations, it can silently corrupt the internal region array, causing
odd errors much later on, such as allocations returning reserved regions
etc...
This patch rewrites the underlying functions that add or remove a region
to the arrays. The new code is a lot more robust as it fully handles
overlapping regions. It's also, imho, simpler than the previous
implementation.
In addition, while doing so, I found a bug where if we fail to double the
array while adding a region, we would remove the last region of the array
rather than the region we just allocated. This fixes it too.

For range-cyclic writeback (e.g. kupdate), the writeback code sets a
continuation point of the next writeback to mapping->writeback_index which
is set the page after the last written page. This happens so that we
evenly write the whole file even if pages in it get continuously
redirtied.
However, in some cases, sequential writer is writing in the middle of the
page and it just redirties the last written page by continuing from that.
For example with an application which uses a file as a big ring buffer we
see:
[1st writeback session]
...

>> flush-8:0-2743 4606: block_rq_issue: 8,0 W 0 () 94898554 + 8
So we seeked back to 94898554 after we wrote all the pages at the end of
the file.
This extra seek seems unnecessary. If we continue writeback from the last
written page, we can avoid it and do not cause harm to other cases. The
original intent of even writeout over the whole file is preserved and if
the page does not get redirtied pagevec_lookup_tag() just skips it.
As an exceptional case, when I/O error happens, set done_index to the next
page as the comment in the code suggests.

scan_swap_map() is a large function (224 lines), with several loops and a
complex control flow involving several gotos.
Given all that, it is a bit silly that it is marked as inline. The
compiler agrees with me: on a x86-64 compile, it did not inline the
function.
Remove the "inline" and let the compiler decide instead.

The block in sys_swapon which does the final adjustments to the
swap_info_struct and to swap_list is the same as the block which
re-inserts it again at sys_swapoff on failure of try_to_unuse(). Move
this code to a separate function, and use it both in sys_swapon and
sys_swapoff.
