Make __get_user_pages return -EHWPOISON for HWPOISON page only if
FOLL_HWPOISON is specified. With this patch, the interested callers
can distinguish HWPOISON pages from general FAULT pages, while other
callers will still get -EFAULT for all these pages, so the user space
interface need not to be changed.
This feature is needed by KVM, where UCR MCE should be relayed to
guest for HWPOISON page, while instruction emulation and MMIO will be
tried for general FAULT page.
The idea comes from Andrew Morton.

In most cases, get_user_pages and get_user_pages_fast should be used
to pin user pages in memory. But sometimes, some special flags except
FOLL_GET, FOLL_WRITE and FOLL_FORCE are needed, for example in
following patch, KVM needs FOLL_HWPOISON. To support these users,
__get_user_pages is exported directly.
There are some symbol name conflicts in infiniband driver, fixed them too.

oom_kill_process() starts with victim_points == 0. This means that
(most likely) any child has more points and can be killed erroneously.
Also, "children has a different mm" doesn't match the reality, we should
check child->mm != t->mm. This check is not exactly correct if t->mm ==
NULL but this doesn't really matter, oom_kill_task() will kill them
anyway.
Note: "Kill all processes sharing p->mm" in oom_kill_task() is wrong
too.

THP's collapse_huge_page() has an understandable but ugly difference
in when its huge page is allocated: inside if NUMA but outside if not.
It's hardly surprising that the memcg failure path forgot that, freeing
the page in the non-NUMA case, then hitting a VM_BUG_ON in get_page()
(or even worse, using the freed page).

When vmscan.c calls page_referenced(), if an anon page was created
before a process forked, rmap will search for it in both of the
processes, even though one of them might have since broken COW.
If the child process mlocks the vma where the COWed page belongs to,
page_referenced() running on the page mapped by the parent would lead to
*vm_flags getting VM_LOCKED set erroneously (leading to the references
on the parent page being ignored and evicting the parent page too
early).
*mapcount would also be decremented by page_referenced_one even if the
page wasn't found by page_check_address.
This also lets pmdp_clear_flush_young_notify() go ahead on a
pmd_trans_splitting() pmd.
We hold the page_table_lock so __split_huge_page_map() must wait the
pmdp_clear_flush_young_notify() to complete before it can modify the
pmd. The pmd is also still mapped in userland so the young bit may
materialize through a tlb miss before split_huge_page_map runs.
This will provide a more accurate page_referenced() behavior during
split_huge_page().

There is no "struct" for slub's slab, it shares with struct page.
But struct page is very small, it is insufficient when we need
to add some metadata for slab.
So we add a field "reserved" to struct kmem_cache, when a slab
is allocated, kmem_cache->reserved bytes are automatically reserved
at the end of the slab for slab's metadata.
Changed from v1:
Export the reserved field via sysfs

Use the this_cpu_cmpxchg_double functionality to implement a lockless
allocation algorithm on arches that support fast this_cpu_ops.
Each of the per cpu pointers is paired with a transaction id that ensures
that updates of the per cpu information can only occur in sequence on
a certain cpu.
A transaction id is a "long" integer that is comprised of an event number
and the cpu number. The event number is incremented for every change to the
per cpu state. This means that the cmpxchg instruction can verify for an
update that nothing interfered and that we are updating the percpu structure
for the processor where we picked up the information and that we are also
currently on that processor when we update the information.
This results in a significant decrease of the overhead in the fastpaths. It
also makes it easy to adopt the fast path for realtime kernels since this
is lockless and does not require the use of the current per cpu area
over the critical section. It is only important that the per cpu area is
current at the beginning of the critical section and at the end.
So there is no need even to disable preemption.
Test results show that the fastpath cycle count is reduced by up to ~ 40%
(alloc/free test goes from ~140 cycles down to ~80). The slowpath for kfree
adds a few cycles.
Sadly this does nothing for the slowpath which is where the main issues with
performance in slub are but the best case performance rises significantly.
(For that see the more complex slub patches that require cmpxchg_double)

Pass down the correct node for a transparent hugepage allocation. Most
callers continue to use the current node, however the hugepaged daemon
now uses the previous node of the first to be collapsed page instead.
This ensures that khugepaged does not mess up local memory for an
existing process which uses local policy.
The choice of node is somewhat primitive currently: it just uses the
node of the first page in the pmd range. An alternative would be to
look at multiple pages and use the most popular node. I used the
simplest variant for now which should work well enough for the case of
all pages being on the same node.

!__GFP_REPEAT
should_continue_reclaim() for reclaim/compaction allows scanning to
continue even if pages are not being reclaimed until the full list is
scanned. In terms of allocation success, this makes sense but potentially
it introduces unwanted latency for high-order allocations such as
transparent hugepages and network jumbo frames that would prefer to fail
the allocation attempt and fallback to order-0 pages. Worse, there is a
potential that the full LRU scan will clear all the young bits, distort
page aging information and potentially push pages into swap that would
have otherwise remained resident.
This patch will stop reclaim/compaction if no pages were reclaimed in the
last SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages that were considered. For allocations such as
hugetlbfs that use __GFP_REPEAT and have fewer fallback options, the full
LRU list may still be scanned.
Order-0 allocation should not be affected because RECLAIM_MODE_COMPACTION
is not set so the following avoids the gfp_mask being examined:
if (!(sc->reclaim_mode & RECLAIM_MODE_COMPACTION))
return false;
A tool was developed based on ftrace that tracked the latency of
high-order allocations while transparent hugepage support was enabled and
three benchmarks were run. The "fix-infinite" figures are 2.6.38-rc4 with
Johannes's patch "vmscan: fix zone shrinking exit when scan work is done"
applied.

Mean time for order-1 allocations is reduced. order-2 looks increased but
with so few allocations, it's not particularly significant. THP mean
allocation latency is also reduced. That said, allocation time varies so
significantly that the reductions are within noise.
Max allocation time is reduced by a significant amount for low-order
allocations but reduced for THP allocations which presumably are now
breaking before reclaim has done enough work.

Again, mean time for order-1 allocations is reduced while order-2
allocations are too few to draw conclusions from. The mean time for THP
allocations is also slightly reduced albeit the reductions are within
varianes.
Once again, our maximum allocation time is significantly reduced for
low-order allocations and slightly increased for THP allocations.

This benchmark creates one thread per CPU which references an amount of
anonymous memory 1.5 times the size of physical RAM. This pounds swap
quite heavily and is intended to exercise THP a bit.
Mean allocation time for order-1 is reduced as before. It's also reduced
for THP allocations but the variations here are pretty massive due to
swap. As before, maximum allocation times are significantly reduced.
Overall, the patch reduces the mean and maximum allocation latencies for
the smaller high-order allocations. This was with Slab configured so it
would be expected to be more significant with Slub which uses these size
allocations more aggressively.
The mean allocation times for THP allocations are also slightly reduced.
The maximum latency was slightly increased as predicted by the comments
due to reclaim/compaction breaking early. However, workloads care more
about the latency of lower-order allocations than THP so it's an
acceptable trade-off.

The move_pages() usage of find_task_by_vpid() requires rcu_read_lock() to
prevent free_pid() from reclaiming the pid.
Without this patch, RCU warnings are printed in v2.6.38-rc4 move_pages()
with:
CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y
Previously, migrate_pages() went through a similar transformation
replacing usage of tasklist_lock with rcu read lock:

Grab a reference to bdev before calling blkdev_get(), which expects
the refcount to be already incremented and either returns success or
decrements the refcount and returns an error.
The bug was introduced by e525fd89 (block: make blkdev_get/put()
handle exclusive access), which didn't take into account this behavior
of blkdev_get().

mm/bootmem.c contained code paths for both bootmem and no bootmem
configurations. They implement about the same set of APIs in
different ways and as a result bootmem.c contains massive amount of
#ifdef CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM.
Separate out CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM code into mm/nobootmem.c. As the
common part is relatively small, duplicate them in nobootmem.c instead
of creating a common file or ifdef'ing in bootmem.c.
The followings are duplicated.
* {min|max}_low_pfn, max_pfn, saved_max_pfn
* free_bootmem_late()
* ___alloc_bootmem()
* __alloc_bootmem_low()
The followings are applicable only to nobootmem and moved verbatim.
* __free_pages_memory()
* free_all_memory_core_early()
The followings are not applicable to nobootmem and omitted in
nobootmem.c.
* reserve_bootmem_node()
* reserve_bootmem()
The rest split function bodies according to CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM.
Makefile is updated so that only either bootmem.c or nobootmem.c is
built according to CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM.
This patch doesn't introduce any behavior change.

Robert Swiecki reported a BUG_ON(page_mapped) from a fuzzer, punching
a hole with madvise(,, MADV_REMOVE). That path is under mutex, and
cannot be explained by lack of serialization in unmap_mapping_range().
Reviewing the code, I found one place where vm_truncate_count handling
should have been updated, when I switched at the last minute from one
way of managing the restart_addr to another: mremap move changes the
virtual addresses, so it ought to adjust the restart_addr.
But rather than exporting the notion of restart_addr from memory.c, or
converting to restart_pgoff throughout, simply reset vm_truncate_count
to 0 to force a rescan if mremap move races with preempted truncation.
We have no confirmation that this fixes Robert's BUG,
but it is a fix that's worth making anyway.

Michael Leun reported that running parallel opens on a fuse filesystem
can trigger a "kernel BUG at mm/truncate.c:475"
Gurudas Pai reported the same bug on NFS.
The reason is, unmap_mapping_range() is not prepared for more than
one concurrent invocation per inode. For example:
thread1: going through a big range, stops in the middle of a vma and
stores the restart address in vm_truncate_count.
thread2: comes in with a small (e.g. single page) unmap request on
the same vma, somewhere before restart_address, finds that the
vma was already unmapped up to the restart address and happily
returns without doing anything.
Another scenario would be two big unmap requests, both having to
restart the unmapping and each one setting vm_truncate_count to its
own value. This could go on forever without any of them being able to
finish.
Truncate and hole punching already serialize with i_mutex. Other
callers of unmap_mapping_range() do not, and it's difficult to get
i_mutex protection for all callers. In particular ->d_revalidate(),
which calls invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in fuse, may be called
with or without i_mutex.
This patch adds a new mutex to 'struct address_space' to prevent
running multiple concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same mapping.
[ We'll hopefully get rid of all this with the upcoming mm
preemptibility series by Peter Zijlstra, the "mm: Remove i_mmap_mutex
lockbreak" patch in particular. But that is for 2.6.39 ]

Recent use of ksize() in network stack (commit ca44ac38 : net: don't
reallocate skb->head unless the current one hasn't the needed extra size
or is shared) triggers kmemcheck warnings, because ksize() can return
more space than kmemcheck is aware of.
Pekka Enberg noticed SLAB+kmemcheck is doing the right thing, while SLUB
+kmemcheck doesnt.

Transparent hugepages can only be created if rmap is fully
functional. So we must prevent hugepages to be created while
is_vma_temporary_stack() is true.
This also optmizes away some harmless but unnecessary setting of
khugepaged_scan.address and it switches some BUG_ON to VM_BUG_ON.
