In calculate_order(), it tries to calculate the best order by adjusting
the fraction and min_objects. On each iteration on min_objects, fraction
iterates on 16, 8, 4. Which means the acceptable waste increases with
1/16, 1/8, 1/4.
This patch corrects the comment according to the code.

The last patch in the series addresses Linus' comment from
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=144148518703321&w=2
(well, it's been some time. sorry.)
gnuplot script takes the slabinfo records file, where every record is a `slabinfo -X'
output. So the basic workflow is, for example, as follows:
while [ 1 ]; do slabinfo -X -N 2 >> stats; sleep 1; done
^C
slabinfo-gnuplot.sh stats
The last command will produce 3 png files (and 3 stats files)
-- graph of slabinfo totals
-- graph of slabs by size
-- graph of slabs by loss
It's also possible to select a range of records for plotting (a range of collected
slabinfo outputs) via `-r 10,100` (for example); and compare totals from several
measurements (to visially compare slabs behaviour (10,50 range)) using
pre-parsed totals files:
slabinfo-gnuplot.sh -r 10,50 -t stats-totals1 .. stats-totals2
This also, technically, supports ktest. Upload new slabinfo to target,
collect the stats and give the resulting stats file to slabinfo-gnuplot

Currently, when kmem_cache_destroy() is called for a global cache, we
print a warning for each per memcg cache attached to it that has active
objects (see shutdown_cache). This is redundant, because it gives no new
information and only clutters the log. If a cache being destroyed has
active objects, there must be a memory leak in the module that created the
cache, and it does not matter if the cache was used by users in memory
cgroups or not.
This patch moves the warning from shutdown_cache(), which is called for
shutting down both global and per memcg caches, to kmem_cache_destroy(),
so that the warning is only printed once if there are objects left in the
cache being destroyed.

Currently, we do not clear pointers to per memcg caches in the
memcg_params.memcg_caches array when a global cache is destroyed with
kmem_cache_destroy.
This is fine if the global cache does get destroyed. However, a cache can
be left on the list if it still has active objects when kmem_cache_destroy
is called (due to a memory leak). If this happens, the entries in the
array will point to already freed areas, which is likely to result in data
corruption when the cache is reused (via slab merging).

Theoretically it is possible that the watchdog timer expires right at the
time when a user sets 'watchdog_thresh' to zero (note: this disables the
lockup detectors). In this scenario, the is_softlockup() function - which
is called by the timer - could produce a false positive.

The handler functions for watchdog parameters in /proc/sys/kernel do not
protect themselves against races with CPU hotplug. Hence, theoretically
it is possible that a new watchdog thread is started on a hotplugged CPU
while a parameter is being modified, and the thread could thus use a
parameter value that is 'in transition'.
For example, if 'watchdog_thresh' is being set to zero (note: this
disables the lockup detectors) the thread would erroneously use the value
zero as the sample period.
To avoid such races and to keep the /proc handler code consistent,
call
{get|put}_online_cpus() in proc_watchdog_common()
{get|put}_online_cpus() in proc_watchdog_thresh()

The original watchdog_park_threads() function that was introduced by
commit 81a4beef91 ("watchdog: introduce watchdog_park_threads() and
watchdog_unpark_threads()") takes a very simple approach to handle
errors returned by kthread_park(): It attempts to roll back all watchdog
threads to the unparked state. However, this may be undesired behaviour
from the perspective of the caller which may want to handle errors as
appropriate in its specific context. Currently, there are two possible
call chains:
- watchdog suspend/resume interface
lockup_detector_suspend
watchdog_park_threads
- write to parameters in /proc/sys/kernel
proc_watchdog_update
watchdog_enable_all_cpus
update_watchdog_all_cpus
watchdog_park_threads
Instead of 'blindly' attempting to unpark the watchdog threads if a
kthread_park() call fails, the new approach is to disable the lockup
detectors in the above call chains. Failure becomes visible to the user
as follows:
- error messages from lockup_detector_suspend()
or watchdog_enable_all_cpus()
- the state that can be read from /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_enabled
- the 'write' system call in the latter call chain returns an error
I did not experience kthread_park() failures in practice, I used some
instrumentation to fake error returns from kthread_park() in order to test
the patches.
This patch (of 5):
Restore the previous value of watchdog_thresh _and_ sample_period if
proc_watchdog_update() returns an error. The variables must be consistent
to avoid false positives of the lockup detectors.

Make struct callback_head aligned to size of pointer. On most
architectures it happens naturally due ABI requirements, but some
architectures (like CRIS) have weird ABI and we need to ask it explicitly.
The alignment is required to guarantee that bits 0 and 1 of @next will be
clear under normal conditions -- as long as we use call_rcu(),
call_rcu_bh(), call_rcu_sched(), or call_srcu() to queue callback.
This guarantee is important for few reasons:
- future call_rcu_lazy() will make use of lower bits in the pointer;
- the structure shares storage spacer in struct page with @compound_head,
which encode PageTail() in bit 0. The guarantee is needed to avoid
false-positive PageTail().
False postive PageTail() caused crash on crisv32[1]. It happend due
misaligned task_struct->rcu, which was byte-aligned.

There is a race case between mount and delete node/cluster, which will
lead o2hb_thread to malfunctioning dead loop.
o2hb_thread
{
o2nm_depend_this_node();
<<<<<< race window, node may have already been deleted, and then
enter the loop, o2hb thread will be malfunctioning
because of no configured nodes found.
while (!kthread_should_stop() &&
!reg->hr_unclean_stop && !reg->hr_aborted_start) {
}
So check the return value of o2nm_depend_this_node() is needed. If node
has been deleted, do not enter the loop and let mount fail.

Currently cluster allocation is always trying to find a victim chain (a
chian has most space), and this may lead to poor performance because of
discontiguous allocation in some scenarios.
Our test case is block size 4k, cluster size 1M and mount option with
localalloc=2048 (2G), since a gd is 32256M (about 31.5G) and a localalloc
window is only 2G, creating 50G file will result in 2G from gd0, 2G from
gd1, ...
One way to improve performance is enlarge localalloc window size (max
31104M), but this will make end user feel that about 30G is suddenly
"missing", and localalloc currently do not support steal, which means one
node cannot use another node's localalloc even it is not used in fact. So
using the last gd to record the allocation and continues with the gd if it
has enough space for a localalloc window can make the allocation as more
contiguous as possible.
Our test result is below (evaluated in IOPS), which is using iometer
running in VM, dynamic vhd virtual disk stored in ocfs2.

A simplified test case is (this case from Ryan):
1) dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/hello bs=512 count=1 oflag=direct;
2) truncate /mnt/hello -s 2097152
file 'hello' is not exist before test. After this command,
file 'hello' should be all zero. But 512~4096 is some random data.
Setting bh state to new when get a new block, if so,
direct_io_worker()->dio_zero_block() will fill-in the unused portion
of the block with zero.

The comment here says that it is checking for invalid bits. But, the mask
is *actually* checking to ensure that _any_ valid bit is set, which is
quite different.
Without this check, an unexpected bit could get set on an inotify object.
Since these bits are also interpreted by the fsnotify/dnotify code, there
is the potential for an object to be mishandled inside the kernel. For
instance, can we be sure that setting the dnotify flag FS_DN_RENAME on an
inotify watch is harmless?
Add the actual check which was intended. Retain the existing inotify bits
are being added to the watch. Plus, this is existing behavior which would
be nice to preserve.
I did a quick sniff test that inotify functions and that my
'inotify-tools' package passes 'make check'.

There was a report that my patch:
inotify: actually check for invalid bits in sys_inotify_add_watch()
broke CRIU.
The reason is that CRIU looks up raw flags in /proc/$pid/fdinfo/* to
figure out how to rebuild inotify watches and then passes those flags
directly back in to the inotify API. One of those flags
(FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD) is set in mark->mask, but is not part of the inotify
API. It is used inside the kernel to _implement_ inotify but it is not
and has never been part of the API.
My patch above ensured that we only allow bits which are part of the API
(IN_ALL_EVENTS). This broke CRIU.
FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD is really internal to the kernel. It is set _anyway_ on
all inotify marks. So, CRIU was really just trying to set a bit that was
already set.
This patch hides that bit from fdinfo. CRIU will not see the bit, not try
to set it, and should work as before. We should not have been exposing
this bit in the first place, so this is a good patch independent of the
CRIU problem.
