The list_lru infrastructure already keeps per-node LRU lists in its
node-specific list_lru_node arrays and provide us with a per-node API, and
the shrinkers are properly equiped with node information. This means that
we can now focus our shrinking effort in a single node, but the work that
is deferred from one run to another is kept global at nr_in_batch. Work
can be deferred, for instance, during direct reclaim under a GFP_NOFS
allocation, where situation, all the filesystem shrinkers will be
prevented from running and accumulate in nr_in_batch the amount of work
they should have done, but could not.
This creates an impedance problem, where upon node pressure, work deferred
will accumulate and end up being flushed in other nodes. The problem we
describe is particularly harmful in big machines, where many nodes can
accumulate at the same time, all adding to the global counter nr_in_batch.
As we accumulate more and more, we start to ask for the caches to flush
even bigger numbers. The result is that the caches are depleted and do
not stabilize. To achieve stable steady state behavior, we need to tackle
it differently.
In this patch we keep the deferred count per-node, in the new array
nr_deferred[] (the name is also a bit more descriptive) and will never
accumulate that to other nodes.

The list_lru implementation has one function, list_lru_dispose_all, with
only one user (the dentry code). At first, such function appears to make
sense because we are really not interested in the result of isolating each
dentry separately - all of them are going away anyway. However, it's
implementation is buggy in the following way:
When we call list_lru_dispose_all in fs/dcache.c, we scan all dentries
marking them with DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST. However, this is done without the
nlru->lock taken. The imediate result of that is that someone else may
add or remove the dentry from the LRU at the same time. When list_lru_del
happens in that scenario we will see an element that is not yet marked
with DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST (even though it will be in the future) and
obviously remove it from an lru where the element no longer is. Since
list_lru_dispose_all will in effect count down nlru's nr_items and
list_lru_del will do the same, this will lead to an imbalance.
The solution for this would not be so simple: we can obviously just keep
the lru_lock taken, but then we have no guarantees that we will be able to
acquire the dentry lock (dentry->d_lock). To properly solve this, we need
a communication mechanism between the lru and dentry code, so they can
coordinate this with each other.
Such mechanism already exists in the form of the list_lru_walk_cb
callback. So it is possible to construct a dcache-side prune function
that does the right thing only by calling list_lru_walk in a loop until no
more dentries are available.
With only one user, plus the fact that a sane solution for the problem
would involve boucing between dcache and list_lru anyway, I see little
justification to keep the special case list_lru_dispose_all in tree.

The LRU_RETRY code assumes that the list traversal status after we have
dropped and regained the list lock. Unfortunately, this is not a valid
assumption, and that can lead to racing traversals isolating objects that
the other traversal expects to be the next item on the list.
This is causing problems with the inode cache shrinker isolation, with
races resulting in an inode on a dispose list being "isolated" because a
racing traversal still thinks it is on the LRU. The inode is then never
reclaimed and that causes hangs if a subsequent lookup on that inode
occurs.
Fix it by always restarting the list walk on a LRU_RETRY return from the
isolate callback. Avoid the possibility of livelocks the current code was
trying to avoid by always decrementing the nr_to_walk counter on retries
so that even if we keep hitting the same item on the list we'll eventually
stop trying to walk and exit out of the situation causing the problem.

Now that we have an LRU list API, we can start to enhance the
implementation. This splits the single LRU list into per-node lists and
locks to enhance scalability. Items are placed on lists according to the
node the memory belongs to. To make scanning the lists efficient, also
track whether the per-node lists have entries in them in a active
nodemask.
Note: We use a fixed-size array for the node LRU, this struct can be very
big if MAX_NUMNODES is big. If this becomes a problem this is fixable by
turning this into a pointer and dynamically allocating this to
nr_node_ids. This quantity is firwmare-provided, and still would provide
room for all nodes at the cost of a pointer lookup and an extra
allocation. Because that allocation will most likely come from a may very
well fail.

longs to match the VM API.
This requires the dentry and inode shrinker callouts to be converted to
the count/scan API. This is mainly a mechanical change.

The current shrinker callout API uses an a single shrinker call for
multiple functions. To determine the function, a special magical value is
passed in a parameter to change the behaviour. This complicates the
implementation and return value specification for the different
behaviours.
Separate the two different behaviours into separate operations, one to
return a count of freeable objects in the cache, and another to scan a
certain number of objects in the cache for freeing. In defining these new
operations, ensure the return values and resultant behaviours are clearly
defined and documented.
Modify shrink_slab() to use the new API and implement the callouts for all
the existing shrinkers.

One of the big problems with modifying the way the dcache shrinker and LRU
implementation works is that the LRU is abused in several ways. One of
these is shrink_dentry_list().
Basically, we can move a dentry off the LRU onto a different list without
doing any accounting changes, and then use dentry_lru_prune() to remove it
from what-ever list it is now on to do the LRU accounting at that point.
This makes it -really hard- to change the LRU implementation. The use of
the per-sb LRU lock serialises movement of the dentries between the
different lists and the removal of them, and this is the only reason that
it works. If we want to break up the dentry LRU lock and lists into, say,
per-node lists, we remove the only serialisation that allows this lru
list/dispose list abuse to work.
To make this work effectively, the dispose list has to be isolated from
the LRU list - dentries have to be removed from the LRU *before* being
placed on the dispose list. This means that the LRU accounting and
isolation is completed before disposal is started, and that means we can
change the LRU implementation freely in future.
This means that dentries *must* be marked with DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST when
they are placed on the dispose list so that we don't think that parent
dentries found in try_prune_one_dentry() are on the LRU when the are
actually on the dispose list. This would result in accounting the dentry
to the LRU a second time. Hence dentry_lru_del() has to handle the
DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST case

With the dentry LRUs being per-sb structures, there is no real need for
a global dentry_lru_lock. The locking can be made more fine-grained by
moving to a per-sb LRU lock, isolating the LRU operations of different
filesytsems completely from each other. The need for this is independent
of any performance consideration that may arise: in the interest of
abstracting the lru operations away, it is mandatory that each lru works
around its own lock instead of a global lock for all of them.

The sysctl knob sysctl_vfs_cache_pressure is used to determine which
percentage of the shrinkable objects in our cache we should actively try
to shrink.
It works great in situations in which we have many objects (at least more
than 100), because the aproximation errors will be negligible. But if
this is not the case, specially when total_objects < 100, we may end up
concluding that we have no objects at all (total / 100 = 0, if total <
100).
This is certainly not the biggest killer in the world, but may matter in
very low kernel memory situations.

This series reworks our current object cache shrinking infrastructure in
two main ways:
* Noticing that a lot of users copy and paste their own version of LRU
lists for objects, we put some effort in providing a generic version.
It is modeled after the filesystem users: dentries, inodes, and xfs
(for various tasks), but we expect that other users could benefit in
the near future with little or no modification. Let us know if you
have any issues.
* The underlying list_lru being proposed automatically and
transparently keeps the elements in per-node lists, and is able to
manipulate the node lists individually. Given this infrastructure, we
are able to modify the up-to-now hammer called shrink_slab to proceed
with node-reclaim instead of always searching memory from all over like
it has been doing.
Per-node lru lists are also expected to lead to less contention in the lru
locks on multi-node scans, since we are now no longer fighting for a
global lock. The locks usually disappear from the profilers with this
change.
Although we have no official benchmarks for this version - be our guest to
independently evaluate this - earlier versions of this series were
performance tested (details at
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/100537) yielding no
visible performance regressions while yielding a better qualitative
behavior in NUMA machines.
With this infrastructure in place, we can use the list_lru entry point to
provide memcg isolation and per-memcg targeted reclaim. Historically,
those two pieces of work have been posted together. This version presents
only the infrastructure work, deferring the memcg work for a later time,
so we can focus on getting this part tested. You can see more about the
history of such work at http://lwn.net/Articles/552769/
Dave Chinner (18):
dcache: convert dentry_stat.nr_unused to per-cpu counters
dentry: move to per-sb LRU locks
dcache: remove dentries from LRU before putting on dispose list
mm: new shrinker API
shrinker: convert superblock shrinkers to new API
list: add a new LRU list type
inode: convert inode lru list to generic lru list code.
dcache: convert to use new lru list infrastructure
list_lru: per-node list infrastructure
shrinker: add node awareness
fs: convert inode and dentry shrinking to be node aware
xfs: convert buftarg LRU to generic code
xfs: rework buffer dispose list tracking
xfs: convert dquot cache lru to list_lru
fs: convert fs shrinkers to new scan/count API
drivers: convert shrinkers to new count/scan API
shrinker: convert remaining shrinkers to count/scan API
shrinker: Kill old ->shrink API.
Glauber Costa (7):
fs: bump inode and dentry counters to long
super: fix calculation of shrinkable objects for small numbers
list_lru: per-node API
vmscan: per-node deferred work
i915: bail out earlier when shrinker cannot acquire mutex
hugepage: convert huge zero page shrinker to new shrinker API
list_lru: dynamically adjust node arrays
This patch:
There are situations in very large machines in which we can have a large
quantity of dirty inodes, unused dentries, etc. This is particularly true
when umounting a filesystem, where eventually since every live object will
eventually be discarded.
Dave Chinner reported a problem with this while experimenting with the
shrinker revamp patchset. So we believe it is time for a change. This
patch just moves int to longs. Machines where it matters should have a
big long anyway.

For a long time no filesystem has been using vfs_follow_link, and as seen
by recent filesystem submissions any new use is accidental as well.
Remove vfs_follow_link, document the replacement in
Documentation/filesystems/porting and also rename __vfs_follow_link
to match its only caller better.

Pull vfs pile 3 (of many) from Al Viro:
"Waiman's conversion of d_path() and bits related to it,
kern_path_mountpoint(), several cleanups and fixes (exportfs
one is -stable fodder, IMO).
There definitely will be more... ;-/"
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
split read_seqretry_or_unlock(), convert d_walk() to resulting primitives
dcache: Translating dentry into pathname without taking rename_lock
autofs4 - fix device ioctl mount lookup
introduce kern_path_mountpoint()
rename user_path_umountat() to user_path_mountpoint_at()
take unlazy_walk() into umount_lookup_last()
Kill indirect include of file.h from eventfd.h, use fdget() in cgroup.c
prune_super(): sb->s_op is never NULL
exportfs: don't assume that ->iterate() won't feed us too long entries
afs: get rid of redundant ->d_name.len checks
When I moved the RCU walk termination into unlazy_walk(), I didn't copy
quite all of it: for the successful RCU termination we properly add the
necessary reference counts to our temporary copy of the root path, but
for the failure case we need to make sure that any temporary root path
information is cleared out (since it does _not_ have the proper
reference counts from the RCU lookup).
We could clean up this mess by just always dropping the temporary root
information, but Al points out that that would mean that a single lookup
through symlinks could see multiple different root entries if it races
with another thread doing chroot. Not that I think we should really
care (we had that before too, back before we had a copy of the root path
in the nameidata).
Al says he has a cunning plan. In the meantime, this is the minimal fix
for the problem, even if it's not all that pretty.

Lots of cleanup and refactoring and some SMP additions for Renesas
platforms. Due to some inter-dependencies with other arm-soc
branches, this Renesas stuff was separated out for sending after the
other branches were merged.
Highlights:
- remove unused board support and cleanup of unused headers
- refactoring of init and device registration
- simplify IRQ initialization
Conflicts: Too many. Most of these are because Simon chose to send
some board updates through the V4L tree that ends up colliding with
the main platform changes. We'll work with him on sorting out his
workflow:
- arch/arm/boot/dts/r8a7740.dtsi:
- Add/add conflict in a devicetree file (keep both)
- arch/arm/mach-shmobile/Makefile:
- Splitting out of clock files collides with intc move to DT.
Keep HEAD version but remove intc-* files for R8A7740 and R8A7779.
- arch/arm/mach-shmobile/board-bockw.c:
- Keep HEAD but remove i2c, hspi and mmc device init calls
- arch/arm/mach-shmobile/board-marzen.c
- Remove mach/hardware.h include and r8a7779_add_usb_phy_device() call,
everything else stays.
- arch/arm/mach-shmobile/include/mach/r8a7778.h:
- From HEAD, Keep camera-rcar.h include and r8a7778_add_vin_device()
- From branch, keep everything
- arch/arm/mach-shmobile/include/mach/r8a7779.h:
- From HEAD, Keep only camera-rcar.h include and r8a7779_add_vin_device()
- arch/arm/mach-shmobile/setup-r8a7778.c
- Keep HEAD, but drop the MMC section (struct resource + add_mmc_device())
- take the new function name from our side (r8a7778_add_dt_devices())
- arch/arm/mach-shmobile/setup-r8a7779.c
- Keep HEAD, but drop r8a7779_add_usb_phy_device()

are still in flux, and will have to wait for 3.13.
The changes for 3.12 are mostly clean ups and minor fixes.
H. Peter Anvin added a check to x86_32 static function tracing that
helps a small segment of the kernel community.
Oleg Nesterov had a few changes from 3.11, but were mostly clean ups
and not worth pushing in the -rc time frame.
Li Zefan had small clean up with annotating a raw_init with __init.
I fixed a slight race in updating function callbacks, but the race
is so small and the bug that happens when it occurs is so minor it's
not even worth pushing to stable.
The only real enhancement is from Alexander Z Lam that made the
tracing_cpumask work for trace buffer instances, instead of them all
sharing a global cpumask.

In __clk_init(), after a clock is mostly initialized, a scan is done
of the orphan clocks to see if the clock being registered is the
parent of any of them.
This code assumes that any clock that provides a get_parent method
actually has at least one parent, and that's not a valid assumption.
As a result, an orphan clock with no parent can return *something*
as the parent index, and that value is blindly used to dereference
the orphan's parent_names[] array (which will be ZERO_SIZE_PTR or
NULL).
Fix this by ensuring get_parent is only called for orphans with at
least one parent.

When running the AIM7's short workload, Linus' lockref patch eliminated
most of the spinlock contention. However, there were still some left:
8.46% reaim [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock
|--42.21%-- d_path
| proc_pid_readlink
| SyS_readlinkat
| SyS_readlink
| system_call
| __GI___readlink
|
|--40.97%-- sys_getcwd
| system_call
| __getcwd
The big one here is the rename_lock (seqlock) contention in d_path()
and the getcwd system call. This patch will eliminate the need to take
the rename_lock while translating dentries into the full pathnames.
The need to take the rename_lock is to make sure that no rename
operation can be ongoing while the translation is in progress. However,
only one thread can take the rename_lock thus blocking all the other
threads that need it even though the translation process won't make
any change to the dentries.
This patch will replace the writer's write_seqlock/write_sequnlock
sequence of the rename_lock of the callers of the prepend_path() and
__dentry_path() functions with the reader's read_seqbegin/read_seqretry
sequence within these 2 functions. As a result, the code will have to
retry if one or more rename operations had been performed. In addition,
RCU read lock will be taken during the translation process to make sure
that no dentries will go away. To prevent live-lock from happening,
the code will switch back to take the rename_lock if read_seqretry()
fails for three times.
To further reduce spinlock contention, this patch does not take the
dentry's d_lock when copying the filename from the dentries. Instead,
it treats the name pointer and length as unreliable and just copy
the string byte-by-byte over until it hits a null byte or the end of
string as specified by the length. This should avoid stepping into
invalid memory address. The error cases are left to be handled by
the sequence number check.
The following code re-factoring are also made:
1. Move prepend('/') into prepend_name() to remove one conditional
check.
2. Move the global root check in prepend_path() back to the top of
the while loop.
With this patch, the _raw_spin_lock will now account for only 1.2%
of the total CPU cycles for the short workload. This patch also has
the effect of reducing the effect of running perf on its profile
since the perf command itself can be a heavy user of the d_path()
function depending on the complexity of the workload.
When taking the perf profile of the high-systime workload, the amount
of spinlock contention contributed by running perf without this patch
was about 16%. With this patch, the spinlock contention caused by
the running of perf will go away and we will have a more accurate
perf profile.

Merge tag 'vfio-v3.12-rc0' of git://github.com/awilliam/linux-vfio
Pull VFIO update from Alex Williamson:
"VFIO updates include safer default file flags for VFIO device fds, an
external user interface exported to allow other modules to hold
references to VFIO groups, a fix to test for extended config space on
PCIe and PCI-x, and new hot reset interfaces for PCI devices which
allows the user to do PCI bus/slot resets when all of the devices
affected by the reset are owned by the user.
For this last feature, the PCI bus reset interface, I depend on
changes already merged from Bjorn's PCI pull request. I therefore
merged my tree up to commit cb3e433, which I think was the correct
action, but as Stephen Rothwell noted, I failed to provide a commit
message indicating why the merge was required. Sorry for that.
Thanks, Alex"
* tag 'vfio-v3.12-rc0' of git://github.com/awilliam/linux-vfio:
vfio: fix documentation
vfio-pci: PCI hot reset interface
vfio-pci: Test for extended config space
vfio-pci: Use fdget() rather than eventfd_fget()
vfio: Add O_CLOEXEC flag to vfio device fd
vfio: use get_unused_fd_flags(0) instead of get_unused_fd()
vfio: add external user support
Highlights include:
- Fix NFSv4 recovery so that it doesn't recover lost locks in cases such as
lease loss due to a network partition, where doing so may result in data
corruption. Add a kernel parameter to control choice of legacy behaviour
or not.
- Performance improvements when 2 processes are writing to the same file.
- Flush data to disk when an RPCSEC_GSS session timeout is imminent.
- Implement NFSv4.1 SP4_MACH_CRED state protection to prevent other
NFS clients from being able to manipulate our lease and file lockingr
state.
- Allow sharing of RPCSEC_GSS caches between different rpc clients
- Fix the broken NFSv4 security auto-negotiation between client and server
- Fix rmdir() to wait for outstanding sillyrename unlinks to complete
- Add a tracepoint framework for debugging NFSv4 state recovery issues.
- Add tracing to the generic NFS layer.
- Add tracing for the SUNRPC socket connection state.
- Clean up the rpc_pipefs mount/umount event management.
- Merge more patches from Chuck in preparation for NFSv4 migration support.

Pull fuse bugfixes from Miklos Szeredi:
"Just a bunch of bugfixes"
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/fuse:
fuse: use list_for_each_entry() for list traversing
fuse: readdir: check for slash in names
fuse: hotfix truncate_pagecache() issue
fuse: invalidate inode attributes on xattr modification
fuse: postpone end_page_writeback() in fuse_writepage_locked()
window. Also, most of them are bug fixes this time. Two of my
three patches (moving gfs2_sync_meta and merging the two writepage
implementations) are clean ups with the third (taking the glock ref
in examine_bucket) being a fix for a difficult to hit race condition.
The removal of an unused memory barrier is a clean up from Bob Peterson,
and the "spectator" relates to a rarely used mount option. Ben
Marzinski's patch fixes a corner case where the incorrect inode
flags were being set, resulting in incorrect behaviour on fsync.

When reconnecting to automounts at startup an autofs ioctl is used
to find the device and inode of existing mounts so they can be used
to open a file descriptor of possibly covered mounts.
At this time the the caller might not yet "own" the mount so it can
trigger calling ->d_automount(). This causes automount to hang when
trying to reconnect to direct or offset mount types.
Consequently kern_path() can't be used but kern_path_mountpoint() can be.
