Currently we use per-cpu array to hold pointers to preallocated nodes.
Let's replace it with linked list. On x86_64 it saves 256 bytes in
per-cpu ELF section which may translate into freeing up 2MB of memory for
NR_CPUS==8192.

preempt_mask.h defines all the preempt_count semantics and related
symbols: preempt, softirq, hardirq, nmi, preempt active, need resched,
etc...
preempt.h defines the accessors and mutators of preempt_count.
But there is a messy dependency game around those two header files:
* preempt_mask.h includes preempt.h in order to access preempt_count()
* preempt_mask.h defines all preempt_count semantic and symbols
except PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED that is needed by asm/preempt.h
Thus we need to define it from preempt.h, right before including
asm/preempt.h, instead of defining it to preempt_mask.h with the
other preempt_count symbols. Therefore the preempt_count semantics
happen to be spread out.
* We plan to introduce preempt_active_[enter,exit]() to consolidate
preempt_schedule*() code. But we'll need to access both preempt_count
mutators (preempt_count_add()) and preempt_count symbols
(PREEMPT_ACTIVE, PREEMPT_OFFSET). The usual place to define preempt
operations is in preempt.h but then we'll need symbols in
preempt_mask.h which already includes preempt.h. So we end up with
a ressource circle dependency.
Lets merge preempt_mask.h into preempt.h to solve these dependency issues.
This way we gather semantic symbols and operation definition of
preempt_count in a single file.
This is a dumb copy-paste merge. Further merge re-arrangments are
performed in a subsequent patch to ease review.

The comment helpfully explains why hardirq.h is included, but since
commit 2d4b84739f0a ("hardirq: Split preempt count mask definitions")
in_interrupt() has been provided by preempt_mask.h. Use that instead,
saving around 40 lines in the generated dependency file.

Previously, page cache radix tree nodes were freed after reclaim emptied
out their page pointers. But now reclaim stores shadow entries in their
place, which are only reclaimed when the inodes themselves are
reclaimed. This is problematic for bigger files that are still in use
after they have a significant amount of their cache reclaimed, without
any of those pages actually refaulting. The shadow entries will just
sit there and waste memory. In the worst case, the shadow entries will
accumulate until the machine runs out of memory.
To get this under control, the VM will track radix tree nodes
exclusively containing shadow entries on a per-NUMA node list. Per-NUMA
rather than global because we expect the radix tree nodes themselves to
be allocated node-locally and we want to reduce cross-node references of
otherwise independent cache workloads. A simple shrinker will then
reclaim these nodes on memory pressure.
A few things need to be stored in the radix tree node to implement the
shadow node LRU and allow tree deletions coming from the list:
1. There is no index available that would describe the reverse path
from the node up to the tree root, which is needed to perform a
deletion. To solve this, encode in each node its offset inside the
parent. This can be stored in the unused upper bits of the same
member that stores the node's height at no extra space cost.
2. The number of shadow entries needs to be counted in addition to the
regular entries, to quickly detect when the node is ready to go to
the shadow node LRU list. The current entry count is an unsigned
int but the maximum number of entries is 64, so a shadow counter
can easily be stored in the unused upper bits.
3. Tree modification needs tree lock and tree root, which are located
in the address space, so store an address_space backpointer in the
node. The parent pointer of the node is in a union with the 2-word
rcu_head, so the backpointer comes at no extra cost as well.
4. The node needs to be linked to an LRU list, which requires a list
head inside the node. This does increase the size of the node, but
it does not change the number of objects that fit into a slab page.

Make struct radix_tree_node part of the public interface and provide API
functions to create, look up, and delete whole nodes. Refactor the
existing insert, look up, delete functions on top of these new node
primitives.
This will allow the VM to track and garbage collect page cache radix
tree nodes.

The radix tree hole searching code is only used for page cache, for
example the readahead code trying to get a a picture of the area
surrounding a fault.
It sufficed to rely on the radix tree definition of holes, which is
"empty tree slot". But this is about to change, though, as shadow page
descriptors will be stored in the page cache after the actual pages get
evicted from memory.
Move the functions over to mm/filemap.c and make them native page cache
operations, where they can later be adapted to handle the new definition
of "page cache hole".

Provide a function that does not just delete an entry at a given index,
but also allows passing in an expected item. Delete only if that item
is still located at the specified index.
This is handy when lockless tree traversals want to delete entries as
well because they don't have to do an second, locked lookup to verify
the slot has not changed under them before deleting the entry.

With users of radix_tree_preload() run from interrupt (block/blk-ioc.c is
one such possible user), the following race can happen:
radix_tree_preload()
...
radix_tree_insert()
radix_tree_node_alloc()
if (rtp->nr) {
ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1];
<interrupt>
...
radix_tree_preload()
...
radix_tree_insert()
radix_tree_node_alloc()
if (rtp->nr) {
ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1];
And we give out one radix tree node twice. That clearly results in radix
tree corruption with different results (usually OOPS) depending on which
two users of radix tree race.
We fix the problem by making radix_tree_node_alloc() always allocate fresh
radix tree nodes when in interrupt. Using preloading when in interrupt
doesn't make sense since all the allocations have to be atomic anyway and
we cannot steal nodes from process-context users because some users rely
on radix_tree_insert() succeeding after radix_tree_preload().
in_interrupt() check is somewhat ugly but we cannot simply key off passed
gfp_mask as that is acquired from root_gfp_mask() and thus the same for
all preload users.
Another part of the fix is to avoid node preallocation in
radix_tree_preload() when passed gfp_mask doesn't allow waiting. Again,
preallocation in such case doesn't make sense and when preallocation would
happen in interrupt we could possibly leak some allocated nodes. However,
some users of radix_tree_preload() require following radix_tree_insert()
to succeed. To avoid unexpected effects for these users,
radix_tree_preload() only warns if passed gfp mask doesn't allow waiting
and we provide a new function radix_tree_maybe_preload() for those users
which get different gfp mask from different call sites and which are
prepared to handle radix_tree_insert() failure.

This patch fixes bug in macro radix_tree_for_each_contig().
If radix_tree_next_slot() sees NULL in next slot it returns NULL, but following
radix_tree_next_chunk() switches iterating into next chunk. As result iterating
becomes non-contiguous and breaks vfs "splice" and all its users.

This patch:
Implement a clean, simple and effective radix-tree iteration routine.
Iterating divided into two phases:
* lookup next chunk in radix-tree leaf node
* iterating through slots in this chunk
Main iterator function radix_tree_next_chunk() returns pointer to first
slot, and stores in the struct radix_tree_iter index of next-to-last slot.
For tagged-iterating it also constuct bitmask of tags for retunted chunk.
All additional logic implemented as static-inline functions and macroses.
Also adds radix_tree_find_next_bit() static-inline variant of
find_next_bit() optimized for small constant size arrays, because
find_next_bit() too heavy for searching in an array with one/two long
elements.

Down, down in the deepest depths of GFP_NOIO page reclaim, we have
shrink_page_list() calling __remove_mapping() calling __delete_from_
swap_cache() or __delete_from_page_cache().
You would not expect those to need much stack, but in fact they call
radix_tree_delete(): which declares a 192-byte radix_tree_path array on
its stack (to record the node,offsets it visits when descending, in case
it needs to ascend to update them). And if any tag is still set [1],
that calls radix_tree_tag_clear(), which declares a further such
192-byte radix_tree_path array on the stack. (At least we have
interrupts disabled here, so won't then be pushing registers too.)
That was probably a good choice when most users were 32-bit (array of
half the size), and adding fields to radix_tree_node would have bloated
it unnecessarily. But nowadays many are 64-bit, and each
radix_tree_node contains a struct rcu_head, which is only used when
freeing; whereas the radix_tree_path info is only used for updating the
tree (deleting, clearing tags or setting tags if tagged) when a lock
must be held, of no interest when accessing the tree locklessly.
So add a parent pointer to the radix_tree_node, in union with the
rcu_head, and remove all uses of the radix_tree_path. There would be
space in that union to save the offset when descending as before (we can
argue that a lock must already be held to exclude other users), but
recalculating it when ascending is both easy (a constant shift and a
constant mask) and uncommon, so it seems better just to do that.
Two little optimizations: no need to decrement height when descending,
adjusting shift is enough; and once radix_tree_tag_if_tagged() has set
tag on a node and its ancestors, it need not ascend from that node
again.
perf on the radix tree test harness reports radix_tree_insert() as 2%
slower (now having to set parent), but radix_tree_delete() 24% faster.
Surely that's an exaggeration from rtth's artificially low map shift 3,
but forcing it back to 6 still rates radix_tree_delete() 8% faster.
[1] Can a pagecache tag (dirty, writeback or towrite) actually still be
set at the time of radix_tree_delete()? Perhaps not if the filesystem is
well-behaved. But although I've not tracked any stack overflow down to
this cause, I have observed a curious case in which a dirty tag is set
and left set on tmpfs: page migration's migrate_page_copy() happens to
use __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() to set PageDirty on the newpage, and
that sets PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY as a side-effect - harmless to a
filesystem which doesn't use tags, except for this stack depth issue.

radix_tree_tag_get()'s BUG (when it sees a tag after saw_unset_tag) was
unsafe and removed in 2.6.34, but the pointless saw_unset_tag left behind.
Remove it now, and return 0 as soon as we see unset tag - we already rely
upon the root tag to be correct, returning 0 immediately if it's not set.

We have already acknowledged that swapoff of a tmpfs file is slower than
it was before conversion to the generic radix_tree: a little slower
there will be acceptable, if the hotter paths are faster.
But it was a shock to find swapoff of a 500MB file 20 times slower on my
laptop, taking 10 minutes; and at that rate it significantly slows down
my testing.
Now, most of that turned out to be overhead from PROVE_LOCKING and
PROVE_RCU: without those it was only 4 times slower than before; and
more realistic tests on other machines don't fare as badly.
I've tried a number of things to improve it, including tagging the swap
entries, then doing lookup by tag: I'd expected that to halve the time,
but in practice it's erratic, and often counter-productive.
The only change I've so far found to make a consistent improvement, is
to short-circuit the way we go back and forth, gang lookup packing
entries into the array supplied, then shmem scanning that array for the
target entry. Scanning in place doubles the speed, so it's now only
twice as slow as before (or three times slower when the PROVEs are on).
So, add radix_tree_locate_item() as an expedient, once-off,
single-caller hack to do the lookup directly in place. #ifdef it on
CONFIG_SHMEM and CONFIG_SWAP, as much to document its limited
applicability as save space in other configurations. And, sadly,
#include sched.h for cond_resched().

A patchset to extend tmpfs to MAX_LFS_FILESIZE by abandoning its
peculiar swap vector, instead keeping a file's swap entries in the same
radix tree as its struct page pointers: thus saving memory, and
simplifying its code and locking.
This patch:
The radix_tree is used by several subsystems for different purposes. A
major use is to store the struct page pointers of a file's pagecache for
memory management. But what if mm wanted to store something other than
page pointers there too?
The low bit of a radix_tree entry is already used to denote an indirect
pointer, for internal use, and the unlikely radix_tree_deref_retry()
case.
Define the next bit as denoting an exceptional entry, and supply inline
functions radix_tree_exception() to return non-0 in either unlikely
case, and radix_tree_exceptional_entry() to return non-0 in the second
case.
If a subsystem already uses radix_tree with that bit set, no problem: it
does not affect internal workings at all, but is defined for the
convenience of those storing well-aligned pointers in the radix_tree.
The radix_tree_gang_lookups have an implicit assumption that the caller
can deduce the offset of each entry returned e.g. by the page->index of
a struct page. But that may not be feasible for some kinds of item to
be stored there.
radix_tree_gang_lookup_slot() allow for an optional indices argument,
output array in which to return those offsets. The same could be added
to other radix_tree_gang_lookups, but for now keep it to the only one
for which we need it.

I think this root cause is the following:
radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged() always tags the root tag with settag
if the root tag is set with iftag even if there are no iftag tags
in the specified range (Of course, there are some iftag tags
outside the specified range).
===============================================================================
[[[Detailed description]]]
(1) Why cannot radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot() return forever?
__lookup_tag():
- Return with 0.
- Return with the index which is not bigger than the old one as the
input parameter.
Therefore the following "while" repeats forever because the above
conditions cause "ret" not to be updated and the cur_index cannot be
changed into the bigger one.
(So, radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot() cannot return forever.)
radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot():
1178 while (ret < max_items) {
1179 unsigned int slots_found;
1180 unsigned long next_index; /* Index of next search */
1181
1182 if (cur_index > max_index)
1183 break;
1184 slots_found = __lookup_tag(node, results + ret,
1185 cur_index, max_items - ret, &next_index,
tag);
1186 ret += slots_found;
// cannot update ret because slots_found == 0.
// so, this while loops forever.
1187 if (next_index == 0)
1188 break;
1189 cur_index = next_index;
1190 }
(2) Why does __lookup_tag() return with 0 and doesn't update the index?
Assuming the following:
- the one of the slot in radix_tree_node is NULL.
- the one of the tag which corresponds to the slot sets with
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE or other.
- In a certain height(!=0), the corresponding index is 0.
a) __lookup_tag() notices that the tag is set.
1005 static unsigned int
1006 __lookup_tag(struct radix_tree_node *slot, void ***results, unsigned long index,
1007 unsigned int max_items, unsigned long *next_index, unsigned int tag)
1008 {
1009 unsigned int nr_found = 0;
1010 unsigned int shift, height;
1011
1012 height = slot->height;
1013 if (height == 0)
1014 goto out;
1015 shift = (height-1) * RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT;
1016
1017 while (height > 0) {
1018 unsigned long i = (index >> shift) & RADIX_TREE_MAP_MASK ;
1019
1020 for (;;) {
1021 if (tag_get(slot, tag, i))
1022 break;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* the index is not updated yet.
b) __lookup_tag() notices that the slot is NULL.
1023 index &= ~((1UL << shift) - 1);
1024 index += 1UL << shift;
1025 if (index == 0)
1026 goto out; /* 32-bit wraparound */
1027 i++;
1028 if (i == RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE)
1029 goto out;
1030 }
1031 height--;
1032 if (height == 0) { /* Bottom level: grab some items */
...
1055 }
1056 shift -= RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT;
1057 slot = rcu_dereference_raw(slot->slots[i]);
1058 if (slot == NULL)
1059 break;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
c) __lookup_tag() doesn't update the index and return with 0.
1060 }
1061 out:
1062 *next_index = index;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1063 return nr_found;
1064 }
(3) Why is the slot NULL even if the tag is set?
Because radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged() always sets the root tag with
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE if the root tag is set with PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY,
even if there is no tag which can be set with PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE
in the specified range (from *first_indexp to last_index). Of course,
some PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY nodes must exist outside the specified range.
(radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged() is called only from tag_pages_for_writeback())
640 unsigned long radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged(struct radix_tree_root
*root,
641 unsigned long *first_indexp, unsigned long last_index,
642 unsigned long nr_to_tag,
643 unsigned int iftag, unsigned int settag)
644 {
645 unsigned int height = root->height;
646 struct radix_tree_path path[height];
647 struct radix_tree_path *pathp = path;
648 struct radix_tree_node *slot;
649 unsigned int shift;
650 unsigned long tagged = 0;
651 unsigned long index = *first_indexp;
652
653 last_index = min(last_index, radix_tree_maxindex(height));
654 if (index > last_index)
655 return 0;
656 if (!nr_to_tag)
657 return 0;
658 if (!root_tag_get(root, iftag)) {
659 *first_indexp = last_index + 1;
660 return 0;
661 }
662 if (height == 0) {
663 *first_indexp = last_index + 1;
664 root_tag_set(root, settag);
665 return 1;
666 }
...
733 root_tag_set(root, settag);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
734 *first_indexp = index;
735
736 return tagged;
737 }
As the result, there is no radix_tree_node which is set with
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE but the root tag(radix_tree_root) is set with
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE.

Salman Qazi describes the following radix-tree bug:
In the following case, we get can get a deadlock:
0. The radix tree contains two items, one has the index 0.
1. The reader (in this case find_get_pages) takes the rcu_read_lock.
2. The reader acquires slot(s) for item(s) including the index 0 item.
3. The non-zero index item is deleted, and as a consequence the other item is
moved to the root of the tree. The place where it used to be is queued for
deletion after the readers finish.
3b. The zero item is deleted, removing it from the direct slot, it remains in
the rcu-delayed indirect node.
4. The reader looks at the index 0 slot, and finds that the page has 0 ref
count
5. The reader looks at it again, hoping that the item will either be freed or
the ref count will increase. This never happens, as the slot it is looking
at will never be updated. Also, this slot can never be reclaimed because
the reader is holding rcu_read_lock and is in an infinite loop.
The fix is to re-use the same "indirect" pointer case that requires a slot
lookup retry into a general "retry the lookup" bit.

|
|
Commit ebf8aa44beed48cd17893a83d92a4403e5f9d9e2 ("radix-tree:
omplement function radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged") does not safely
set tags on on intermediate tree nodes. The code walks down the tree
setting tags before it has fully resolved the path to the leaf under
the assumption there will be a leaf slot with the tag set in the
range it is searching.
Unfortunately, this is not a valid assumption - we can abort after
setting a tag on an intermediate node if we overrun the number of
tags we are allowed to set in a batch, or stop scanning because we
we have passed the last scan index before we reach a leaf slot with
the tag we are searching for set.
As a result, we can leave the function with tags set on intemediate
nodes which can be tripped over later by tag-based lookups. The
result of these stale tags is that lookup may end prematurely or
livelock because the lookup cannot make progress.
The fix for the problem involves reocrding the traversal path we
take to the leaf nodes, and only propagating the tags back up the
tree once the tag is set in the leaf node slot. We are already
recording the path for efficient traversal, so there is no
additional overhead to do the intermediately node tag setting in
this manner.
This fixes a radix tree lookup livelock triggered by the new
writeback sync livelock avoidance code introduced in commit
f446daaea9d4a420d16c606f755f3689dcb2d0ce ("mm: implement writeback
livelock avoidance using page tagging").

Commit f446daaea9d4a420d16c606f755f3689dcb2d0ce ("mm: implement
writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging") introduced a new
radix tree tag, increasing the number of tags in each node from 2 to
3. It did not, however, fix up the code in
radix_tree_node_rcu_free() that cleans up after radix_tree_shrink()
and hence could leave stray tags set in the new tag array.
The result is that the livelock avoidance code added in the the
above commit would hit stale tags when doing tag based lookups,
resulting in livelocks when trying to traverse the tree.
Fix this problem in radix_tree_node_rcu_free() so it doesn't happen
again in the future by using a loop to walk all the tags up to
RADIX_TREE_MAX_TAGS to clear the stray tags radix_tree_shrink()
leaves behind.

radix_tree_tag_get() is not safe to use concurrently with radix_tree_tag_set()
or radix_tree_tag_clear(). The problem is that the double tag_get() in
radix_tree_tag_get():
if (!tag_get(node, tag, offset))
saw_unset_tag = 1;
if (height == 1) {
int ret = tag_get(node, tag, offset);
may see the value change due to the action of set/clear. RCU is no protection
against this as no pointers are being changed, no nodes are being replaced
according to a COW protocol - set/clear alter the node directly.
The documentation in linux/radix-tree.h, however, says that
radix_tree_tag_get() is an exception to the rule that "any function modifying
the tree or tags (...) must exclude other modifications, and exclude any
functions reading the tree".
The problem is that the next statement in radix_tree_tag_get() checks that the
tag doesn't vary over time:
BUG_ON(ret && saw_unset_tag);
This has been seen happening in FS-Cache:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-cachefs/2010-April/msg00013.html
To this end, remove the BUG_ON() from radix_tree_tag_get() and note in various
comments that the value of the tag may change whilst the RCU read lock is held,
and thus that the return value of radix_tree_tag_get() may not be relied upon
unless radix_tree_tag_set/clear() and radix_tree_delete() are excluded from
running concurrently with it.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Because the radix tree is used with many different locking

__fscache_write_page() attempts to load the radix tree preallocation pool for
the CPU it is on before calling radix_tree_insert(), as the insertion must be
done inside a pair of spinlocks.
Use of the preallocation pool, however, is contingent on the radix tree being
initialised without __GFP_WAIT specified. __fscache_acquire_cookie() was
passing GFP_NOFS to INIT_RADIX_TREE() - but that includes __GFP_WAIT.
The solution is to AND out __GFP_WAIT.
Additionally, the banner comment to radix_tree_preload() is altered to make
note of this prerequisite. Possibly there should be a WARN_ON() too.
Without this fix, I have seen the following recursive deadlock caused by
radix_tree_insert() attempting to allocate memory inside the spinlocked
region, which resulted in FS-Cache being called back into to release memory -
which required the spinlock already held.

Remove all clameter@sgi.com addresses from the kernel tree since they will
become invalid on June 27th. Change my maintainer email address for the
slab allocators to cl@linux-foundation.org (which will be the new email
address for the future).

We shrink a radix tree when its root node has only one child, in the left
most slot. The child becomes the new root node. To perform this
operation in a manner compatible with concurrent lockless lookups, we
atomically switch the root pointer from the parent to its child.
However a concurrent lockless lookup may now have loaded a pointer to the
parent (and is presently deciding what to do next). For this reason, we
also have to keep the parent node in a valid state after shrinking the
tree, until the next RCU grace period -- otherwise this lookup with the
parent pointer may not do the right thing. Notably, we need to keep the
child in the left most slot there in case that is requested by the lookup.
This is all pretty standard RCU stuff. It is worth repeating because in
my eagerness to obey the radix tree node constructor scheme, I had broken
it by zeroing the radix tree node before the grace period.
What could happen is that a lookup can load the parent pointer, then
decide it wants to follow the left most child slot, only to find the slot
contained NULL due to the concurrent shrinker having zeroed the parent
node before waiting for a grace period. The lookup would return a false
negative as a result.
Fix it by doing that clearing in the RCU callback. I would normally want
to rip out the constructor entirely, but radix tree nodes are one of those
places where they make sense (only few cachelines will be touched soon
after allocation).
This was never actually found in any lockless pagecache testing or by the
test harness, but by seeing the odd problem with my scalable vmap rewrite.
I have not tickled the test harness into reproducing it yet, but I'll
keep working at it.
Fortunately, it is not a problem anywhere lockless pagecache is used in
mainline kernels (pagecache probe is not a guarantee, and brd does not
have concurrent lookups and deletes).

Migrate flags must be set on slab creation as agreed upon when the antifrag
logic was reviewed. Otherwise some slabs of a slabcache will end up in the
unmovable and others in the reclaimable section depending on which flag was
active when a new slab page was allocated.
This likely slid in somehow when antifrag was merged. Remove it.
The buffer_heads are always allocated with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE because the
SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT option is set. The set_migrateflags() never had any
effect there.
Radix tree allocations are not directly reclaimable but they are allocated
with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE set on each allocation. We now set
SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT on radix tree slab creation making sure that radix
tree slabs are consistently placed in the reclaimable section. Radix tree
slabs will also be accounted as such.
There is then no user left of set_migratepages. So remove it.

Most pagecache (and some other) radix tree insertions have the great
opportunity to preallocate a few nodes with relaxed gfp flags. But the
preallocation is squandered when it comes time to allocate a node, we
default to first attempting a GFP_ATOMIC allocation -- that doesn't
normally fail, but it can eat into atomic memory reserves that we don't
need to be using.
Another upshot of this is that it removes the sometimes highly contended
zone->lock from underneath tree_lock. Pagecache insertions are always
performed with a radix tree preload, and after this change, such a
situation will never fall back to kmem_cache_alloc within
radix_tree_node_alloc.
David Miller reports seeing this allocation fail on a highly threaded
sparc64 system:

The calltrace is significant: __do_page_cache_readahead allocates a number
of pages with GFP_KERNEL, and hence it should have reclaimed sufficient
memory to satisfy GFP_ATOMIC allocations. However after the list of pages
goes to mpage_readpages, there can be significant intervals (including disk
IO) before all the pages are inserted into the radix-tree. So the reserves
can easily be depleted at that point. The patch is confirmed to fix the
problem.

Negative shifts are not allowed in C (the result is undefined). Same thing
with full-width shifts.
It works on most platforms but not on the VAX with gcc 4.0.1 (it results in an
"operand reserved" fault).
Shifting by more than the width of the value on the left is also not
allowed. I think the extra '>> 1' tacked on at the end in the original
code was an attempt to work around that. Getting rid of that is an extra
feature of this patch.
Here's the chapter and verse, taken from the final draft of the C99
standard ("6.5.7 Bitwise shift operators", paragraph 3):
"The integer promotions are performed on each of the operands. The
type of the result is that of the promoted left operand. If the
value of the right operand is negative or is greater than or equal
to the width of the promoted left operand, the behavior is
undefined."
Thank you to Jan-Benedict Glaw, Christoph Hellwig, Maciej Rozycki, Pekka
Enberg, Andreas Schwab, and Christoph Lameter for review. Special thanks
to Andreas for spotting that my fix only removed half the undefined
behaviour.

Slab constructors currently have a flags parameter that is never used. And
the order of the arguments is opposite to other slab functions. The object
pointer is placed before the kmem_cache pointer.
Convert
ctor(void *object, struct kmem_cache *s, unsigned long flags)
to
ctor(struct kmem_cache *s, void *object)
throughout the kernel
