I have an application that does the following:
* copy the state of all controllers attached to a hierarchy
* replicate it as a child of the current level.
I would expect writes to the files to mostly succeed, since they are
inheriting sane values from parents.
But that is not the case for use_hierarchy. If it is set to 0, we succeed
ok. If we're set to 1, the value of the file is automatically set to 1 in
the children, but if userspace tries to write the very same 1, it will
fail. That same situation happens if we set use_hierarchy, create a
child, and then try to write 1 again.
Now, there is no reason whatsoever for failing to write a value that is
already there. It doesn't even match the comments, that states:
/* If parent's use_hierarchy is set, we can't make any modifications
* in the child subtrees...
since we are not changing anything.
So test the new value against the one we're storing, and automatically
return 0 if we're not proposing a change.

The number of ptes and swap entries are used in the oom killer's badness
heuristic, so they should be shown in the tasklist dump.
This patch adds those fields and replaces cpu and oom_adj values that are
currently emitted. Cpu isn't interesting and oom_adj is deprecated and
will be removed later this year, the same information is already displayed
as oom_score_adj which is used internally.
At the same time, make the documentation a little more clear to state this
information is helpful to determine why the oom killer chose the task it
did to kill.

/proc/sys/vm/oom_kill_allocating_task will immediately kill current when
the oom killer is called to avoid a potentially expensive tasklist scan
for large systems.
Currently, however, it is not checking current's oom_score_adj value which
may be OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN, meaning that it has been disabled from oom
killing.
This patch avoids killing current in such a condition and simply falls
back to the tasklist scan since memory still needs to be freed.

Eric Wong reported his test suite failex when /tmp is tmpfs.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/24/479
Currentlt the input check of POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED has two problems.
- requires a_ops->readpage. But in fact, force_page_cache_readahead()
requires that the target filesystem has either ->readpage or ->readpages.
- returns -EINVAL when the filesystem doesn't have ->readpage. But
posix says that fadvise is merely a hint. Thus fadvise() should return
0 if filesystem has no means of implementing fadvise(). The userland
application should not know nor care whcih type of filesystem backs the
TMPDIR directory, as Eric pointed out. There is nothing which userspace
can do to solve this error.
So change the return value to 0 when filesytem doesn't support readahead.

The oom killer currently schedules away from current in an uninterruptible
sleep if it does not have access to memory reserves. It's possible that
current was killed because it shares memory with the oom killed thread or
because it was killed by the user in the interim, however.
This patch only schedules away from current if it does not have a pending
kill, i.e. if it does not share memory with the oom killed thread. It's
possible that it will immediately retry its memory allocation and fail,
but it will immediately be given access to memory reserves if it calls the
oom killer again.
This prevents the delay of memory freeing when threads that share memory
with the oom killed thread get unnecessarily scheduled.

This patchset implements a cgroup resource controller for HugeTLB pages.
The controller allows to limit the HugeTLB usage per control group and
enforces the controller limit during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies that,
the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access HugeTLB pages
beyond its limit. This requires the application to know beforehand how
much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use.
The goal is to control how many HugeTLB pages a group of task can
allocate. It can be looked at as an extension of the existing quota
interface which limits the number of HugeTLB pages per hugetlbfs
superblock. HPC job scheduler requires jobs to specify their resource
requirements in the job file. Once their requirements can be met, job
schedulers like (SLURM) will schedule the job. We need to make sure that
the jobs won't consume more resources than requested. If they do we
should either error out or kill the application.
This patch:
Rename max_hstate to hugetlb_max_hstate. We will be using this from other
subsystems like hugetlb controller in later patches.

Swap readahead works fine, but the I/O to disk is almost always done in
page size requests, despite the fact that readahead submits
1<<page-cluster pages at a time.
On older kernels the old per device plugging behavior might have captured
this and merged the requests, but currently all comes down to much more
I/Os than required.
On a single device this might not be an issue, but as soon as a server
runs on shared san resources savin I/Os not only improves swapin
throughput but also provides a lower resource utilization.
With a load running KVM in a lot of memory overcommitment (the hot memory
is 1.5 times the host memory) swapping throughput improves significantly
and the lead feels more responsive as well as achieves more throughput.
In a test setup with 16 swap disks running blocktrace on one of those disks
shows the improved merging:

I got ~10% to ~40% more throughput in my cases and at the same time much

Thier names looks similar to each other but the former is used for
accounting anonymous memory. rename it as TYPE_ANON.

MEM_CGROUP_STAT_SWAPOUT represents the usage of swap rather than
the number of swap-out events. Rename it to be MEM_CGROUP_STAT_SWAP.

If someone calls vb_alloc() (or vm_map_ram() for that matter) to allocate
0 bytes (0 pages), get_order() returns BITS_PER_LONG - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT
and interesting stuff happens. So make debugging such problems easier and
warn about 0-size allocation.

There's a walk by repeating rb_next to find a suitable hole. Could be
simply replaced by walk on the sorted vmap_area_list. More simpler and
efficient.
Mutation of the list and tree only happens in pair within
__insert_vmap_area and __free_vmap_area, under protection of
vmap_area_lock. The patch code is also under vmap_area_lock, so the list
walk is safe, and consistent with the tree walk.
Tested on SMP by repeating batch of vmalloc anf vfree for random sizes and
rounds for hours.

"fault-injection: add tool to run command with failslab or
fail_page_alloc" added tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh to make it
easier to inject slab/page allocation failures by fault injection.
failcmd.sh prints the following warning when running with arguments
for command.
# ./failcmd.sh echo aaa
failcmd.sh: line 209: [: echo: binary operator expected
aaa
This warning is caused by an improper check whether at least one
parameter is left after parsing command options.
Fix it by testing the length of $1 instead of $@
