It turns out it causes a very noticeable interactivity regression with
CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP (test-case: "make -j32" of the kernel in a
terminal window, while scrolling in a browser - the autogrouping means
that the two end up in separate cgroups, and the browser should be
smooth as silk despite the high load).
Says Paul Turner:
"It seems that the update-throttling on the wake-side is reducing the
interactive tasks' ability to preempt. While I suspect the right
longer term answer here is force these updates only in the
cross-cgroup case; this is less trivial. For this release I believe
the right answer is either going to be a revert or restore the updates
on the enqueue-side."

autofs4 - use simple_empty() for empty directory check
For direct (and offset) mounts, if an automounted mount is manually
umounted the trigger mount dentry can appear non-empty causing it to
not trigger mounts. This can also happen if there is a file handle
leak in a user space automounting application.
This happens because, when a ioctl control file handle is opened
on the mount, a cursor dentry is created which causes list_empty()
to see the dentry as non-empty. Since there is a case where listing
the directory of these dentrys is needed, the use of dcache_dir_*()
functions for .open() and .release() is needed.
Consequently simple_empty() must be used instead of list_empty()
when checking for an empty directory.

autofs4 - dont clear DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT on rootless mount
The DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT flag is cleared on mount and set on expire
for autofs rootless multi-mount dentrys to prevent unnecessary calls
to ->d_automount().
Since DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT is always set on autofs dentrys ->d_managed()
is always called so the check can be done in ->d_manage() without the
need to change the flag. This still avoids unnecessary calls to
->d_automount(), adds negligible overhead and eliminates a seriously
ugly check in the expire code.

mm/hugetlb.c: fix warning on freeing hwpoisoned hugepage
Fix the warning from __list_del_entry() which is triggered when a process
tries to do free_huge_page() for a hwpoisoned hugepage.
free_huge_page() can be called for hwpoisoned hugepage from
unpoison_memory(). This function gets refcount once and clears
PageHWPoison, and then puts refcount twice to return the hugepage back to
free pool. The second put_page() finally reaches free_huge_page().

Memory error handling on hugepages can break a RSS counter, which emits a

necessary for reverse mapping to work on hugetlbfs).

hwpoison, hugetlbfs: fix "bad pmd" warning in unmapping hwpoisoned hugepage
When a process which used a hwpoisoned hugepage tries to exit() or
munmap(), the kernel can print out "bad pmd" message because page table
walker in free_pgtables() encounters 'hwpoisoned entry' on pmd.
This is because currently we fail to clear the hwpoisoned entry in
__unmap_hugepage_range(), so this patch simply does it.
expand_stack() runs with a shared mmap_sem lock. Because of this, there
could be multiple concurrent stack expansions in the same mm, which may
cause problems in the vma gap update code.
I propose to solve this by taking the mm->page_table_lock around such vma
expansions, in order to avoid the concurrency issue. We only have to
worry about concurrent expand_stack() calls here, since we hold a shared
mmap_sem lock and all vma modificaitons other than expand_stack() are done
under an exclusive mmap_sem lock.
I previously tried to achieve the same effect by making sure all growable
vmas in a given mm would share the same anon_vma, which we already lock
here. However this turned out to be difficult - all of the schemes I
tried for refcounting the growable anon_vma and clearing turned out ugly.
So, I'm now proposing only the minimal fix.
The overhead of taking the page table lock during stack expansion is
expected to be small: glibc doesn't use expandable stacks for the threads
it creates, so having multiple growable stacks is actually uncommon and we
don't expect the page table lock to get bounced between threads.

The mm given to __mem_cgroup_count_vm_event() cannot be NULL because the

So the check can be dropped.
The check was introduced by commit 456f998ec817 ("memcg: add the

used current->mm for shmem but this has been changed to vma->vm_mm later
on without the check being removed (thanks to Hugh for this

During fixing bugs caused by inaccurate zone->present_pages, we found
zone->present_pages has been abused. The field zone->present_pages may
have different meanings in different contexts:
1) pages existing in a zone.
2) pages managed by the buddy system.
For more discussions about the issue, please refer to:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/5/866
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1346751/
This patchset tries to introduce a new field named "managed_pages" to
struct zone, which counts "pages managed by the buddy system". And revert
zone->present_pages to count "physical pages existing in a zone", which
also keep in consistence with pgdat->node_present_pages.
We will set an initial value for zone->managed_pages in function
free_area_init_core() and will adjust it later if the initial value is
inaccurate.
For DMA/normal zones, the initial value is set to:
Later zone->managed_pages will be adjusted to the accurate value when the
bootmem allocator frees all free pages to the buddy system in function
free_all_bootmem_node() and free_all_bootmem().
The bootmem allocator doesn't touch highmem pages, so highmem zones'
managed_pages is set to the accurate value "spanned_pages - absent_pages"
in function free_area_init_core() and won't be updated anymore.
This patch also adds a new field "managed_pages" to /proc/zoneinfo
and sysrq showmem.

res_counter: delete res_counter_write()
Since commit 628f42355389 ("memcg: limit change shrink usage") both
res_counter_write() and write_strategy_fn have been unused. This patch
deletes them both.
The user will be confused(why this function just counts for high or
normal memory node? does it counts for ZONE_MOVABLE's lru pages?)
until someone else tell them N_HIGH_MEMORY is reused to stand for
nodes that have any memory.
A.cont) If we introduce N_MEMORY, we can reduce this confusing
AND make the code more clearly:
A.example 2) mm/page_cgroup.c use N_HIGH_MEMORY twice:
One is in page_cgroup_init(void):
for_each_node_state(nid, N_HIGH_MEMORY) {
It means if the node have memory, we will allocate page_cgroup map for
the node. We should use N_MEMORY instead here to gaim more clearly.
The second using is in alloc_page_cgroup():
if (node_state(nid, N_HIGH_MEMORY))
addr = vzalloc_node(size, nid);
It means if the node has high or normal memory that can be allocated
from kernel. We should keep N_HIGH_MEMORY here, and it will be better
if the "any memory" semantic of N_HIGH_MEMORY is removed.
B) This reusing is out-dated if we introduce MOVABLE-dedicated node.
The MOVABLE-dedicated node should not appear in
node_stats[N_HIGH_MEMORY] nor node_stats[N_NORMAL_MEMORY],
because MOVABLE-dedicated node has no high or normal memory.
In x86_64, N_HIGH_MEMORY=N_NORMAL_MEMORY, if a MOVABLE-dedicated node
is in node_stats[N_HIGH_MEMORY], it is also means it is in
node_stats[N_NORMAL_MEMORY], it causes SLUB wrong.
The slub uses
for_each_node_state(nid, N_NORMAL_MEMORY)
and creates kmem_cache_node for MOVABLE-dedicated node and cause problem.
In one word, we need a N_MEMORY. We just intrude it as an alias to
N_HIGH_MEMORY and fix all im-proper usages of N_HIGH_MEMORY in late
patches.

H. Peter Anvin doesn't like huge zero page which sticks in memory forever
after the first allocation. Here's implementation of lockless refcounting
for huge zero page.
We have two basic primitives: {get,put}_huge_zero_page(). They
manipulate reference counter.
If counter is 0, get_huge_zero_page() allocates a new huge page and takes
two references: one for caller and one for shrinker. We free the page
only in shrinker callback if counter is 1 (only shrinker has the
reference).
put_huge_zero_page() only decrements counter. Counter is never zero in
put_huge_zero_page() since shrinker holds on reference.
Freeing huge zero page in shrinker callback helps to avoid frequent
allocate-free.
Refcounting has cost. On 4 socket machine I observe ~1% slowdown on
parallel (40 processes) read page faulting comparing to lazy huge page
allocation. I think it's pretty reasonable for synthetic benchmark.

During testing I noticed big (up to 2.5 times) memory consumption overhead
on some workloads (e.g. ft.A from NPB) if THP is enabled.
The main reason for that big difference is lacking zero page in THP case.
We have to allocate a real page on read page fault.
A program to demonstrate the issue:
#include <assert.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#define MB 1024*1024
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char *p;
int i;
posix_memalign((void **)&p, 2 * MB, 200 * MB);
for (i = 0; i < 200 * MB; i+= 4096)
assert(p[i] == 0);
pause();
return 0;
}
With thp-never RSS is about 400k, but with thp-always it's 200M. After
the patcheset thp-always RSS is 400k too.
Design overview.
Huge zero page (hzp) is a non-movable huge page (2M on x86-64) filled with
zeros. The way how we allocate it changes in the patchset:
- [01/10] simplest way: hzp allocated on boot time in hugepage_init();
- [09/10] lazy allocation on first use;
- [10/10] lockless refcounting + shrinker-reclaimable hzp;
We setup it in do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page() if area around fault address
is suitable for THP and we've got read page fault. If we fail to setup
hzp (ENOMEM) we fallback to handle_pte_fault() as we normally do in THP.
On wp fault to hzp we allocate real memory for the huge page and clear it.
If ENOMEM, graceful fallback: we create a new pmd table and set pte
around fault address to newly allocated normal (4k) page. All other ptes
in the pmd set to normal zero page.
We cannot split hzp (and it's bug if we try), but we can split the pmd
which points to it. On splitting the pmd we create a table with all ptes
set to normal zero page.
===
By hpa's request I've tried alternative approach for hzp implementation
(see Virtual huge zero page patchset): pmd table with all entries set to
zero page. This way should be more cache friendly, but it increases TLB
pressure.
The problem with virtual huge zero page: it requires per-arch enabling.
We need a way to mark that pmd table has all ptes set to zero page.

converting more platforms to IRQ domains, pinctrl conversion, cleanup
and general feature enablement across most of the active platforms."

Merge tag 'cleanup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc
Pull ARM SoC cleanups on various subarchitectures from Olof Johansson:
"Cleanup patches for various ARM platforms and some of their associated
drivers. There's also a branch in here that enables Freescale i.MX to
be part of the multiplatform support -- the first "big" SoC that is
moved over (more multiplatform work comes in a separate branch later
during the merge window)."
Conflicts fixed as per Olof, including a silent semantic one in
arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-generic.c (omap_prcm_restart() was renamed to
omap3xxx_restart(), and a new user of the old name was added).

"Here's the updates for ARM for this merge window, which cover quite a
variety of areas.
There's a bunch of patch series from Will tackling various bugs like
the PROT_NONE handling, ASID allocation, cluster boot protocol and
ASID TLB tagging updates.
We move to a build-time sorted exception table rather than doing the
sorting at run-time, add support for the secure computing filter, and
some updates to the perf code. We also have sorted out the placement
of some headers, fixed some build warnings, fixed some hotplug
problems with the per-cpu TWD code."
