Jiang Liu 340175b7d1 mm/hotplug: free zone->pageset when a zone becomes empty
When a zone becomes empty after memory offlining, free zone->pageset.
Otherwise it will cause memory leak when adding memory to the empty zone
again because build_all_zonelists() will allocate zone->pageset for an
empty zone.

Jiang Liu 08dff7b7d6 mm/hotplug: correctly add new zone to all other nodes' zone lists
When online_pages() is called to add new memory to an empty zone, it
rebuilds all zone lists by calling build_all_zonelists().  But there's a
bug which prevents the new zone to be added to other nodes' zone lists.

online_pages() {
	build_all_zonelists()
	.....
	node_set_state(zone_to_nid(zone), N_HIGH_MEMORY)
}

Here the node of the zone is put into N_HIGH_MEMORY state after calling
build_all_zonelists(), but build_all_zonelists() only adds zones from
nodes in N_HIGH_MEMORY state to the fallback zone lists.
build_all_zonelists()

    ->__build_all_zonelists()
	->build_zonelists()
	    ->find_next_best_node()
		->for_each_node_state(n, N_HIGH_MEMORY)

So memory in the new zone will never be used by other nodes, and it may
cause strange behavor when system is under memory pressure.  So put node
into N_HIGH_MEMORY state before calling build_all_zonelists().

Jiang Liu 9adb62a5df mm/hotplug: correctly setup fallback zonelists when creating new pgdat
When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called to create new pgdat for a new node, a
fallback zonelist should be created for the new node.  There's code to try
to achieve that in hotadd_new_pgdat() as below:

	/*
	 * The node we allocated has no zone fallback lists. For avoiding
	 * to access not-initialized zonelist, build here.
	 */
	mutex_lock(&zonelists_mutex);
	build_all_zonelists(pgdat, NULL);
	mutex_unlock(&zonelists_mutex);

But it doesn't work as expected.  When hotadd_new_pgdat() is called, the
new node is still in offline state because node_set_online(nid) hasn't
been called yet.  And build_all_zonelists() only builds zonelists for
online nodes as:

        for_each_online_node(nid) {
                pg_data_t *pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid);

                build_zonelists(pgdat);
                build_zonelist_cache(pgdat);
        }

Though we hope to create zonelist for the new pgdat, but it doesn't.  So
add a new parameter "pgdat" the build_all_zonelists() to build pgdat for
the new pgdat too.

Xishi Qiu ca57df79d4 mm: setup pageblock_order before it's used by sparsemem
On architectures with CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE set, such as
Itanium, pageblock_order is a variable with default value of 0.  It's set
to the right value by set_pageblock_order() in function
free_area_init_core().

But pageblock_order may be used by sparse_init() before free_area_init_core()
is called along path:
sparse_init()
    ->sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_node()
	->usemap_size()
	    ->SECTION_BLOCKFLAGS_BITS
		->((1UL << (PFN_SECTION_SHIFT - pageblock_order)) *
NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS)

The uninitialized pageblock_size will cause memory wasting because
usemap_size() returns a much bigger value then it's really needed.

For example, on an Itanium platform,
sparse_init() pageblock_order=0 usemap_size=24576
free_area_init_core() before pageblock_order=0, usemap_size=24576
free_area_init_core() after pageblock_order=12, usemap_size=8

That means 24K memory has been wasted for each section, so fix it by calling
set_pageblock_order() from sparse_init().

Rik van Riel 7db8889ab0 mm: have order > 0 compaction start off where it left
Order > 0 compaction stops when enough free pages of the correct page
order have been coalesced.  When doing subsequent higher order
allocations, it is possible for compaction to be invoked many times.

However, the compaction code always starts out looking for things to
compact at the start of the zone, and for free pages to compact things to
at the end of the zone.

This can cause quadratic behaviour, with isolate_freepages starting at the
end of the zone each time, even though previous invocations of the
compaction code already filled up all free memory on that end of the zone.

This can cause isolate_freepages to take enormous amounts of CPU with
certain workloads on larger memory systems.

The obvious solution is to have isolate_freepages remember where it left
off last time, and continue at that point the next time it gets invoked
for an order > 0 compaction.  This could cause compaction to fail if
cc->free_pfn and cc->migrate_pfn are close together initially, in that
case we restart from the end of the zone and try once more.

Forced full (order == -1) compactions are left alone.

Glauber Costa 567fb435bb memcg: fix bad behavior in use_hierarchy file
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.

David Rientjes de34d965a8 mm, oom: replace some information in tasklist dump
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.

David Rientjes 121d1ba0a0 mm, oom: fix potential killing of thread that is disabled from oom killing
/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.

KOSAKI Motohiro 3d3727cdb0 mm, fadvise: don't return -EINVAL when filesystem cannot implement fadvise()
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.

David Rientjes 4f774b912d mm, oom: do not schedule if current has been killed
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.

Aneesh Kumar K.V 79dbb2368a hugetlb: move all the in use pages to active list
When we fail to allocate pages from the reserve pool, hugetlb tries to
allocate huge pages using alloc_buddy_huge_page.  Add these to the active
list.  We also need to add the huge page we allocate when we soft offline
the oldpage to active list.

Aneesh Kumar K.V 47d38344ab hugetlb: rename max_hstate to hugetlb_max_hstate
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.

Christian Ehrhardt 3fb5c298b0 swap: allow swap readahead to be merged
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:
Prior:

IO unplugs:       149,614               Timer unplugs:       2,940

With the patch:

IO unplugs:       337,130               Timer unplugs:      11,184

I got ~10% to ~40% more throughput in my cases and at the same time much
lower cpu consumption when broken down per transferred kilobyte (the
majority of that due to saved interrupts and better cache handling).  In a
shared SAN others might get an additional benefit as well, because this
now causes less protocol overhead.

Hong zhi guo 92ca922f0a vmalloc: walk vmap_areas by sorted list instead of rb_next()
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.

sb_end_write().

->page_mkwrite() calls are particularly complex since they are called with
mmap_sem held and thus we cannot use standard sb_start_write() due to lock
ordering constraints. We solve the problem by using a special freeze protection
sb_start_pagefault() which ranks below mmap_sem.

Joonsoo Kim dc32f63453 mm: fix wrong argument of migrate_huge_pages() in soft_offline_huge_page()
Commit a6bc32b899 ("mm: compaction: introduce sync-light migration for
use by compaction") changed the declaration of migrate_pages() and
migrate_huge_pages().

But it missed changing the argument of migrate_huge_pages() in
soft_offline_huge_page().  In this case, we should call
migrate_huge_pages() with MIGRATE_SYNC.

Additionally, there is a mismatch between type the of argument and the
function declaration for migrate_pages().

This patch changes dma-mapping subsystem to use generic vmalloc areas
for all consistent dma allocations. This increases the total size limit
of the consistent allocations and removes platform hacks and a lot of
duplicated code.

Atomic allocations are served from special pool preallocated on boot,
because vmalloc areas cannot be reliably created in atomic context.

Oleg Nesterov 89133786f9 uprobes: Remove insert_vm_struct()->uprobe_mmap()
Remove insert_vm_struct()->uprobe_mmap(). It is not needed, nobody
except arch/ia64/kernel/perfmon.c uses insert_vm_struct(vma)
with vma->vm_file != NULL.

And it is wrong. Again, get_user_pages() can not succeed before
vma_link(vma) makes is visible to find_vma(). And even if this
worked, we must not insert the new bp before this mapping is
visible to vma_prio_tree_foreach() for uprobe_unregister().

Oleg Nesterov 6dab3cc078 uprobes: Remove copy_vma()->uprobe_mmap()
Remove copy_vma()->uprobe_mmap(new_vma), it is absolutely wrong.

This new_vma was just initialized to represent the new unmapped
area, [vm_start, vm_end) was returned by get_unmapped_area() in
the caller.

This means that uprobe_mmap()->get_user_pages() will fail for
sure, simply because find_vma() can never succeed. And I
verified that sys_mremap()->mremap_to() indeed always fails with
the wrong ENOMEM code if [addr, addr+old_len] is probed.

And why this uprobe_mmap() was added? I believe the intent was
wrong. Note that the caller is going to do move_page_tables(),
all registered uprobes are already faulted in, we only change
the virtual addresses.

NOTE: However, somehow we need to close the race with
uprobe_register() which relies on map_info->vaddr. This needs
another fix I'll try to do later. Probably we need uprobe_mmap()
in move_vma() but we can not do this right now, this can confuse
uprobes_state.counter (which I still hope we are going to kill).

Pull the big VFS changes from Al Viro:
 "This one is *big* and changes quite a few things around VFS.  What's in there:

   - the first of two really major architecture changes - death to open
     intents.

     The former is finally there; it was very long in making, but with
     Miklos getting through really hard and messy final push in
     fs/namei.c, we finally have it.  Unlike his variant, this one
     doesn't introduce struct opendata; what we have instead is
     ->atomic_open() taking preallocated struct file * and passing
     everything via its fields.

     Instead of returning struct file *, it returns -E...  on error, 0
     on success and 1 in "deal with it yourself" case (e.g.  symlink
     found on server, etc.).

     See comments before fs/namei.c:atomic_open().  That made a lot of
     goodies finally possible and quite a few are in that pile:
     ->lookup(), ->d_revalidate() and ->create() do not get struct
     nameidata * anymore; ->lookup() and ->d_revalidate() get lookup
     flags instead, ->create() gets "do we want it exclusive" flag.

     With the introduction of new helper (kern_path_locked()) we are rid
     of all struct nameidata instances outside of fs/namei.c; it's still
     visible in namei.h, but not for long.  Come the next cycle,
     declaration will move either to fs/internal.h or to fs/namei.c
     itself.  [me, miklos, hch]

   - The second major change: behaviour of final fput().  Now we have
     __fput() done without any locks held by caller *and* not from deep
     in call stack.

     That obviously lifts a lot of constraints on the locking in there.
     Moreover, it's legal now to call fput() from atomic contexts (which
     has immediately simplified life for aio.c).  We also don't need
     anti-recursion logics in __scm_destroy() anymore.

     There is a price, though - the damn thing has become partially
     asynchronous.  For fput() from normal process we are guaranteed
     that pending __fput() will be done before the caller returns to
     userland, exits or gets stopped for ptrace.

     For kernel threads and atomic contexts it's done via
     schedule_work(), so theoretically we might need a way to make sure

  This is not the last pile for this cycle; there's at least jlayton's

Aaditya Kumar 1c7e7f6c07 mm: fix lost kswapd wakeup in kswapd_stop()
Offlining memory may block forever, waiting for kswapd() to wake up
because kswapd() does not check the event kthread->should_stop before
sleeping.

The proper pattern, from Documentation/memory-barriers.txt, is:

   ---  waker  ---
   event_indicated = 1;
   wake_up_process(event_daemon);

   ---  sleeper  ---
   for (;;) {
      set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
      if (event_indicated)
         break;
      schedule();
   }

   set_current_state() may be wrapped by:
      prepare_to_wait();

In the kswapd() case, event_indicated is kthread->should_stop.

  === offlining memory (waker) ===
   kswapd_stop()
      kthread_stop()
         kthread->should_stop = 1
         wake_up_process()
         wait_for_completion()

  ===  kswapd_try_to_sleep (sleeper) ===
   kswapd_try_to_sleep()
      prepare_to_wait()
           .
           .
      schedule()
           .
           .
      finish_wait()

The schedule() needs to be protected by a test of kthread->should_stop,
which is wrapped by kthread_should_stop().

Reproducer:
   Do heavy file I/O in background.
   Do a memory offline/online in a tight loop

| while backporting the below patch, I realised that your fix busted
| f5bf18fa22 again.  The problem was not a panicking version on
| allocation failure but when the usemap size was too large such that
| goal + size > limit triggers the BUG_ON in the bootmem allocator.  So
| we need a version that passes limit ONLY if the usemap is smaller than
| the section.

after checking the code, the name of ___alloc_bootmem_node_nopanic()
does not reflect the fact.

Make bootmem really not panic.

Hope will kill bootmem sooner.

Yinghai Lu 29f6738609 memblock: free allocated memblock_reserved_regions later
memblock_free_reserved_regions() calls memblock_free(), but
memblock_free() would double reserved.regions too, so we could free the
old range for reserved.regions.

Also tj said there is another bug which could be related to this.

| I don't think we're saving any noticeable

Yinghai Lu 99ab7b1944 mm: sparse: fix usemap allocation above node descriptor section
After commit f5bf18fa22 ("bootmem/sparsemem: remove limit constraint
in alloc_bootmem_section"), usemap allocations may easily be placed
outside the optimal section that holds the node descriptor, even if
there is space available in that section.  This results in unnecessary
hotplug dependencies that need to have the node unplugged before the
section holding the usemap.

The reason is that the bootmem allocator doesn't guarantee a linear
search starting from the passed allocation goal but may start out at a
much higher address absent an upper limit.

Fix this by trying the allocation with the limit at the section end,
then retry without if that fails.  This keeps the fix from f5bf18fa22
of not panicking if the allocation does not fit in the section, but
still makes sure to try to stay within the section at first.

Yinghai Lu 07b4e2bc9c mm: sparse: fix section usemap placement calculation
Commit 238305bb4d ("mm: remove sparsemem allocation details from the
bootmem allocator") introduced a bug in the allocation goal calculation
that put section usemaps not in the same section as the node
descriptors, creating unnecessary hotplug dependencies between them:

  node 0 must be removed before remove section 16399
  node 1 must be removed before remove section 16399
  node 2 must be removed before remove section 16399
  node 3 must be removed before remove section 16399
  node 4 must be removed before remove section 16399
  node 5 must be removed before remove section 16399
  node 6 must be removed before remove section 16399

The reason is that it applies PAGE_SECTION_MASK to the physical address
of the node descriptor when finding a suitable place to put the usemap,
when this mask is actually intended to be used with PFNs.  Because the
PFN mask is wider, the target address will point beyond the wanted
section holding the node descriptor and the node must be offlined before
the section holding the usemap can go.

Fix this by extending the mask to address width before use.

Hugh Dickins b065b4321f shmem: cleanup shmem_add_to_page_cache
shmem_add_to_page_cache() has three callsites, but only one of them wants
the radix_tree_preload() (an exceptional entry guarantees that the radix
tree node is present in the other cases), and only that site can achieve
mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page() (PageSwapCache makes it a no-op in the
other cases).  We did it this way originally to reflect
add_to_page_cache_locked(); but it's confusing now, so move the radix_tree
preloading and mem_cgroup uncharging to that one caller.

Hugh Dickins d189922862 shmem: fix negative rss in memcg memory.stat
When adding the page_private checks before calling shmem_replace_page(), I
did realize that there is a further race, but thought it too unlikely to
need a hurried fix.

But independently I've been chasing why a mem cgroup's memory.stat
sometimes shows negative rss after all tasks have gone: I expected it to
be a stats gathering bug, but actually it's shmem swapping's fault.

It's an old surprise, that when you lock_page(lookup_swap_cache(swap)),
the page may have been removed from swapcache before getting the lock; or
it may have been freed and reused and be back in swapcache; and it can
even be using the same swap location as before (page_private same).

The swapoff case is already secure against this (swap cannot be reused
until the whole area has been swapped off, and a new swapped on); and
shmem_getpage_gfp() is protected by shmem_add_to_page_cache()'s check for
the expected radix_tree entry - but a little too late.

By that time, we might have already decided to shmem_replace_page(): I
don't know of a problem from that, but I'd feel more at ease not to do so
spuriously.  And we have already done mem_cgroup_cache_charge(), on
perhaps the wrong mem cgroup: and this charge is not then undone on the
error path, because PageSwapCache ends up preventing that.

It's this last case which causes the occasional negative rss in
memory.stat: the page is charged here as cache, but (sometimes) found to
be anon when eventually it's uncharged - and in between, it's an
undeserved charge on the wrong memcg.

Fix this by adding an earlier check on the radix_tree entry: it's
inelegant to descend the tree twice, but swapping is not the fast path,
and a better solution would need a pair (try+commit) of memcg calls, and a
rework of shmem_replace_page() to keep out of the swapcache.

We can use the added shmem_confirm_swap() function to replace the
find_get_page+page_cache_release we were already doing on the error path.
And add a comment on that -EEXIST: it seems a peculiar errno to be using,
but originates from its use in radix_tree_insert().

[It can be surprising to see positive rss left in a memcg's memory.stat
after all tasks have gone, since it is supposed to count anonymous but not
shmem.  Aside from sharing anon pages via fork with a task in some other
memcg, it often happens after swapping: because a swap page can't be freed
while under writeback, nor while locked.  So it's not an error, and these
residual pages are easily freed once pressure demands.]

Hugh Dickins f21f806220 tmpfs: revert SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE
Revert 4fb5ef089b ("tmpfs: support SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE").  I believe
it's correct, and it's been nice to have from rc1 to rc6; but as the
original commit said:

I don't know who actually uses SEEK_DATA or SEEK_HOLE, and whether it
would be of any use to them on tmpfs.  This code adds 92 lines and 752
bytes on x86_64 - is that bloat or worthwhile?

Nobody asked for it, so I conclude that it's bloat: let's revert tmpfs to
the dumb generic support for v3.5.  We can always reinstate it later if
useful, and anyone needing it in a hurry can just get it out of git.

David Rientjes 4bf2bba375 mm, thp: abort compaction if migration page cannot be charged to memcg
If page migration cannot charge the temporary page to the memcg,
migrate_pages() will return -ENOMEM.  This isn't considered in memory
compaction however, and the loop continues to iterate over all
pageblocks trying to isolate and migrate pages.  If a small number of
very large memcgs happen to be oom, however, these attempts will mostly
be futile leading to an enormous amout of cpu consumption due to the
page migration failures.

This patch will short circuit and fail memory compaction if
migrate_pages() returns -ENOMEM.  COMPACT_PARTIAL is returned in case
some migrations were successful so that the page allocator will retry.

Jiang Liu d8adde17e5 memory hotplug: fix invalid memory access caused by stale kswapd pointer
kswapd_stop() is called to destroy the kswapd work thread when all memory
of a NUMA node has been offlined.  But kswapd_stop() only terminates the
work thread without resetting NODE_DATA(nid)->kswapd to NULL.  The stale
pointer will prevent kswapd_run() from creating a new work thread when
adding memory to the memory-less NUMA node again.  Eventually the stale
pointer may cause invalid memory access.

An example stack dump as below. It's reproduced with 2.6.32, but latest
kernel has the same issue.

Tony Luck 6751ed65dc x86/mce: Fix siginfo_t->si_addr value for non-recoverable memory faults
In commit dad1743e59 ("x86/mce: Only restart instruction after machine
check recovery if it is safe") we fixed mce_notify_process() to force a
signal to the current process if it was not restartable (RIPV bit not
set in MCG_STATUS). But doing it here means that the process doesn't
get told the virtual address of the fault via siginfo_t->si_addr. This
would prevent application level recovery from the fault.

Make a new MF_MUST_KILL flag bit for memory_failure() et al. to use so
that we will provide the right information with the signal.

kmemcheck_alloc_shadow() requires irqs to be enabled, so wait to disable
them until after its called for __GFP_WAIT allocations.

This fixes a warning for such allocations:

Christoph Lameter 20cea9683e mm, sl[aou]b: Move kmem_cache_create mutex handling to common code
Move the mutex handling into the common kmem_cache_create()
function.

Then we can also move more checks out of SLAB's kmem_cache_create()
into the common code.

Christoph Lameter 18004c5d40 mm, sl[aou]b: Use a common mutex definition
Use the mutex definition from SLAB and make it the common way to take a sleeping lock.

This has the effect of using a mutex instead of a rw semaphore for SLUB.

SLOB gains the use of a mutex for kmem_cache_create serialization.
Not needed now but SLOB may acquire some more features later (like slabinfo
/ sysfs support) through the expansion of the common code that will
need this.

Kmem_cache_create() does a variety of sanity checks but those
vary depending on the allocator. Use the strictest tests and put them into
a slab_common file. Make the tests conditional on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.

This patch has the effect of adding sanity checks for SLUB and SLOB
under CONFIG_DEBUG_VM and removes the checks in SLAB for !CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.

Julia Lawall 068ce415be slub: remove invalid reference to list iterator variable
If list_for_each_entry, etc complete a traversal of the list, the iterator
variable ends up pointing to an address at an offset from the list head,
and not a meaningful structure.  Thus this value should not be used after
the end of the iterator.  The patch replaces s->name by al->name, which is
referenced nearby.

This problem was found using Coccinelle (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/).

Rabin Vincent 6a6dccba2f mm: cma: don't replace lowmem pages with highmem
The filesystem layer expects pages in the block device's mapping to not
be in highmem (the mapping's gfp mask is set in bdget()), but CMA can
currently replace lowmem pages with highmem pages, leading to crashes in
filesystem code such as the one below:

 "As vacation is coming up, thought I'd better get rid of my pending
  changes in my for-linus branch for this iteration.  It contains:

   - Two patches for mtip32xx.  Killing a non-compliant sysfs interface
     and moving it to debugfs, where it belongs.

   - A few patches from Asias.  Two legit bug fixes, and one killing an
     interface that is no longer in use.

   - A patch from Jan, making the annoying partition ioctl warning a bit
     less annoying, by restricting it to !CAP_SYS_RAWIO only.

   - Three bug fixes for drbd from Lars Ellenberg.

   - A fix for an old regression for umem, it hasn't really worked since
     the plugging scheme was changed in 3.0.

   - A few fixes from Tejun.

   - A splice fix from Eric Dumazet, fixing an issue with pipe
     resizing."
