hugetlb: use mmu_gather instead of a temporary linked list for accumulating pages
Use an mmu_gather instead of a temporary linked list for accumulating
pages when we unmap a hugepage range. This also allows us to get rid of
i_mmap_mutex unmap_hugepage_range in the following patch.

hugetlbfs: don't use ERR_PTR with VM_FAULT* values
The current use of VM_FAULT_* codes with ERR_PTR requires us to ensure

This patchset implements a memory controller extension to control HugeTLB
allocations. The extension 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 memory it would require for its use.
The goal is to control how many HugeTLB pages a group of tasks 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. An HPC job scheduler requires jobs to specify their resource
requirements in the job file. Once their requirements can be met, job
schedulers (such as 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 memcg in later patches.

This patch stops reclaim/compaction entering sync reclaim as this was only
intended for lumpy reclaim and an oversight. Page migration has its own
logic for stalling on writeback pages if necessary and memory compaction
is already using it.
Waiting on page writeback is bad for a number of reasons but the primary
one is that waiting on writeback to a slow device like USB can take a
considerable length of time. Page reclaim instead uses
wait_iff_congested() to throttle if too many dirty pages are being
scanned.

This series removes lumpy reclaim and some stalling logic that was
unintentionally being used by memory compaction. The end result is that
stalling on dirty pages during page reclaim now depends on
wait_iff_congested().
Four kernels were compared

3.4.0-rc2 vanilla
3.4.0-rc2 lumpyremove-v2 is patch one from this series
3.4.0-rc2 nosync-v2r3 is the full series
Removing lumpy reclaim saves almost 900 bytes of text whereas the full
series removes 1200 bytes.
There are behaviour changes in the series and so tests were run with
monitoring of ftrace events. This disrupts results so the performance
results are distorted but the new behaviour should be clearer.
fs-mark running in a threaded configuration showed little of interest as
it did not push reclaim aggressively
ftrace showed that there was no stalling on writeback or pages submitted
for IO from reclaim context.
postmark was similar and while it was more interesting, it also did not
push reclaim heavily.

It looks like here that the full series regresses performance but as
ftrace showed no usage of wait_iff_congested() or sync reclaim I am
assuming it's a disruption due to monitoring. Other data such as memory
usage, page IO, swap IO all looked similar.
Running a benchmark with a plain DD showed nothing very interesting. The
full series stalled in wait_iff_congested() slightly less but stall times
on vanilla kernels were marginal.
Running a benchmark that hammered on file-backed mappings showed stalls
due to congestion but not in sync writebacks

Reclaim statistics are not radically changed. The stall times in kswapd
are massive but it is clear that it is due to calls to congestion_wait()
and that is almost certainly the call in balance_pgdat(). Otherwise
stalls due to dirty pages are non-existant.
I ran a benchmark that stressed high-order allocation. This is very
artifical load but was used in the past to evaluate lumpy reclaim and
compaction. Generally I look at allocation success rates and latency
figures.

Total Elapsed Time (seconds) 1161.73 1152.49 1159.55 1161.44
Success rates are completely hosed for 3.4-rc2 which is almost certainly
due to [fe2c2a10: vmscan: reclaim at order 0 when compaction is enabled].
I expected this would happen for kswapd and impair allocation success
rates (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/25/166) but I did not anticipate this
much a difference: 80% less scanning, 37% less reclaim by kswapd
In comparison, reclaim/compaction is not aggressive and gives up easily
which is the intended behaviour. hugetlbfs uses __GFP_REPEAT and would be
much more aggressive about reclaim/compaction than THP allocations are.
The stress test above is allocating like neither THP or hugetlbfs but is
much closer to THP.
Mainline is now impaired in terms of high order allocation under heavy
load although I do not know to what degree as I did not test with
__GFP_REPEAT. Keep this in mind for bugs related to hugepage pool
resizing, THP allocation and high order atomic allocation failures from
network devices.
In terms of congestion throttling, I see the following for this test
FTrace Reclaim Statistics: congestion_wait
Direct number congest waited 3 0 0 0
Direct time congest waited 0ms 0ms 0ms 0ms
Direct full congest waited 0 0 0 0

KSwapd time conditional waited 4980ms 0ms 0ms 0ms
KSwapd full conditional waited 49 0 0 0
The "conditional waited" times are the most interesting as this is
directly impacted by the number of dirty pages encountered during scan.
As lumpy reclaim is no longer scanning contiguous ranges, it is finding
fewer dirty pages. This brings wait times from about 5 seconds to 0.
kswapd itself is still calling congestion_wait() so it'll still stall but
it's a lot less.
In terms of the type of IO we were doing, I see this
In 3.2, kswapd was doing a bunch of async writes of pages but
reclaim/compaction was never reaching a point where it was doing sync IO.
This does not guarantee that reclaim/compaction was not calling
wait_on_page_writeback() but I would consider it unlikely. It indicates
that merging patches 2 and 3 to stop reclaim/compaction calling
wait_on_page_writeback() should be safe.
This patch:
Lumpy reclaim had a purpose but in the mind of some, it was to kick the
system so hard it trashed. For others the purpose was to complicate
vmscan.c. Over time it was giving softer shoes and a nicer attitude but
memory compaction needs to step up and replace it so this patch sends
lumpy reclaim to the farm.
The tracepoint format changes for isolating LRU pages with this patch
applied. Furthermore reclaim/compaction can no longer queue dirty pages
in pageout() if the underlying BDI is congested. Lumpy reclaim used this
logic and reclaim/compaction was using it in error.

The swap token code no longer fits in with the current VM model. It does

It also has the potential to mess with scalability of the system, by
increasing the number of non-reclaimable pages on the active and inactive
anon LRU lists.
Last but not least, the swap token code has been broken for a year without

The days of sub-1G memory systems with heavy use of swap are over. If we

connector/userns: replace netlink uses of cap_raised with capable.
In 2009 Philip Reiser notied that a few users of netlink connector
interface needed a capability check and added the idiom
cap_raised(nsp->eff_cap, CAP_SYS_ADMIN) to a few of them, on the premise
that netlink was asynchronous.
In 2011 Patrick McHardy noticed we were being silly because netlink is
synchronous and removed eff_cap from the netlink_skb_params and changed
the idiom to cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
Looking at those spots with a fresh eye we should be calling
capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN). The only reason I can see for not calling capable
is that it once appeared we were not in the same task as the caller which
would have made calling capable() impossible.
In the initial user_namespace the only difference between between
cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN) and capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) are a
few sanity checks and the fact that capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) sets
PF_SUPERPRIV if we use the capability.
Since we are going to be using root privilege setting PF_SUPERPRIV seems
the right thing to do.
The motivation for this that patch is that in a child user namespace
cap_raised(current_cap(),...) tests your capabilities with respect to that
child user namespace not capabilities in the initial user namespace and
thus will allow processes that should be unprivielged to use the kernel
services that are only protected with cap_raised(current_cap(),..).
To fix possible user_namespace issues and to just clean up the code
replace cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN) with
capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN).

The existing check for dev == NULL in __cpuidle_register_device() is

Moreover, correctly speaking, it is the job of the callers of this
function, i.e., cpuidle_register_device() & cpuidle_enable_device() (which
also happen to be exported functions) to ensure that
__cpuidle_register_device() is called with a non-NULL dev.
So add the necessary dev == NULL checks in the two callers and remove the

code to avoid a race condition by elevating the page refcount in
hugetlb_fault() while calling hugetlb_cow().
However, one code path in hugetlb_cow() includes an assertion that the
page count is 1, whereas it may now also have the value 2 in this path.
The consensus is that this BUG_ON has served its purpose, so rather than
extending it to cover both cases, we just remove it.

mm: fix division by 0 in percpu_pagelist_fraction()
percpu_pagelist_fraction_sysctl_handler() has only considered -EINVAL as a
possible error from proc_dointvec_minmax(). If any other error is
returned, it would proceed to divide by zero since
percpu_pagelist_fraction wasn't getting initialized at any point. For
example, writing 0 bytes into the proc file would trigger the issue.

Unlike a lot of gcc nags, this one appears somewhat legit. i.e. passing
in an invalid negative value of "size" does make it look like all the
conditionals in there would be bypassed and the uninitialized value would
be returned.
