Apparently PCH fifo underruns are tricky, we have plenty reports that
we see the occasional underrun (especially at boot-up).
So for a change let's see what happens when we don't re-enable pch
fifo underrun reporting when the pipe is disabled. This means that the
kernel can't catch pch fifo underruns when they happen (except when
all pipes are on on the pch). But we'll still catch underruns when
disabling the pipe again. So not a terrible reduction in test
coverage.
Since the DRM_ERROR is new and hence a regression plan B would be to
revert it back to a debug output. Which would be a lot worse than this
hack for underrun test coverage in the wild. See the referenced
discussions for more.

According to I2C specification the NACK should be handled as follows:
"When SDA remains HIGH during this ninth clock pulse, this is defined as the Not
Acknowledge signal. The master can then generate either a STOP condition to
abort the transfer, or a repeated START condition to start a new transfer."
[I2C spec Rev. 6, 3.1.6: http://www.nxp.com/documents/user_manual/UM10204.pdf]
Currently the Davinci i2c driver interrupts the transfer on receipt of a
NACK but fails to send a STOP in some situations and so makes the bus
stuck until next I2C IP reset (idle/enable).
For example, the issue will happen during SMBus read transfer which
consists from two i2c messages write command/address and read data:
S Slave Address Wr A Command Code A Sr Slave Address Rd A D1..Dn A P
<--- write -----------------------> <--- read --------------------->
The I2C client device will send NACK if it can't recognize "Command Code"
and it's expected from I2C master to generate STP in this case.
But now, Davinci i2C driver will just exit with -EREMOTEIO and STP will
not be generated.
Hence, fix it by generating Stop condition (STP) always when NACK is received.
This patch fixes Davinci I2C in the same way it was done for OMAP I2C
commit cda2109a26eb ("i2c: omap: query STP always when NACK is received").
commit 6d9939f651419a63e091105663821f9c7d3fec37 (i2c: omap: split out [XR]DR

Set) get handled. 6d9939f6514 code doesn't correspond to workaround provided by
errata.
According to errata ISR must filter out spurious RDR before data read not after.
ISR must read RXSTAT to get number of bytes available to read. Because RDR
could be set while there could no data in the receive FIFO.

commit 1d7afc95946487945cc7f5019b41255b72224b70 (i2c: omap: ack IRQ in parts)
changed the interrupt handler to complete transfers without clearing
XRDY (AL case) and ARDY (NACK case) flags. XRDY or ARDY interrupts will be
fired again. As a result, ISR keep processing transfer after it was already
complete (from the driver code point of view).
A didn't see real impacts of the 1d7afc9, but it is really bad idea to
have ISR running on user data after transfer was complete.
It looks, what 1d7afc9 violate TI specs in what how AL and NACK should be
handled (see Note 1, sprugn4r, Figure 17-31 and Figure 17-32).
According to specs (if I understood correctly), in case of NACK and AL driver
must reset NACK, AL, ARDY, RDR, and RRDY (Master Receive Mode), and
NACK, AL, ARDY, and XDR (Master Transmitter Mode).
All that is done down the code under the if condition:
if (stat & (OMAP_I2C_STAT_ARDY | OMAP_I2C_STAT_NACK | OMAP_I2C_STAT_AL)) ...
The patch restore pre 1d7afc9 logic of handling NACK and AL interrupts, so
no interrupts is fired after ISR informs the rest of driver what transfer
complete.
Note: instead of removing break under NACK case, we could just replace 'break'
with 'continue' and allow NACK transfer to finish using ARDY event. I found
that NACK and ARDY bits usually set together. That case confirm TI wiki:
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/I2C_Tips#Detecting_and_handling_NACK
In order if someone interested in the event traces for NACK and AL cases,
I sent them to mailing list.

These BUGs can be erroneously triggered by frags which refer to
tail pages within a compound page. The data in these pages may
overrun the hardware page while still being contained within the
compound page, but since compound_order() evaluates to 0 for tail
pages the assertion fails. The code already iterates through
subsequent pages correctly in this scenario, so the BUGs are
unnecessary and can be removed.

Andrew Morton noticed that the error return from anon_vma_clone() was
being dropped and replaced with -ENOMEM (which is not itself a bug
because the only error return value from anon_vma_clone() is -ENOMEM).
I did an audit of callers of anon_vma_clone() and discovered an actual
bug where the error return was being lost. In __split_vma(), between
Linux 3.11 and 3.12 the code was changed so the err variable is used
before the call to anon_vma_clone() and the default initial value of
-ENOMEM is overwritten. So a failure of anon_vma_clone() will return
success since err at this point is now zero.
Below is a patch which fixes this bug and also propagates the error
return value from anon_vma_clone() in all cases.

I've been seeing swapoff hangs in recent testing: it's cycling around
trying unsuccessfully to find an mm for some remaining pages of swap.
I have been exercising swap and page migration more heavily recently,
and now notice a long-standing error in copy_one_pte(): it's trying to
add dst_mm to swapoff's mmlist when it finds a swap entry, but is doing
so even when it's a migration entry or an hwpoison entry.
Which wouldn't matter much, except it adds dst_mm next to src_mm,
assuming src_mm is already on the mmlist: which may not be so. Then if
pages are later swapped out from dst_mm, swapoff won't be able to find
where to replace them.
There's already a !non_swap_entry() test for stats: move that up before
the swap_duplicate() and the addition to mmlist.
If a frontswap dup-store failed, it should invalidate the expired page
in the backend, or it could trigger some data corruption issue.
Such as:
1. use zswap as the frontswap backend with writeback feature
2. store a swap page(version_1) to entry A, success
3. dup-store a newer page(version_2) to the same entry A, fail
4. use __swap_writepage() write version_2 page to swapfile, success
5. zswap do shrink, writeback version_1 page to swapfile
6. version_2 page is overwrited by version_1, data corrupt.
This patch fixes this issue by invalidating expired data immediately
when meet a dup-store failure.

On x86_64, kernel text mappings are mapped read-only with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA.
In that case, KVM will fail to patch VMCALL instructions to VMMCALL

is a KVM bug that has to be fixed. However, picking the right instruction

Some radeon ASICs don't support all 64 address bits of MSIs despite
advertising support for 64-bit MSIs in their configuration space.
This breaks on systems such as IBM POWER7/8, where 64-bit MSIs can

This makes use of the newly introduced "no_64bit_msi" flag in structure
pci_dev to allow the MSI allocation code to fallback to 32-bit MSIs
on those adapters.

In some cases, the fcoe_rx_list may contains multiple instances
of the same skb (the so called "shared skbs").
the bnx2fc_l2_rcv thread is a loop that extracts a skb from the list,
modifies (and destroys) its content and then proceed to the next one.
The problem is that if the skb is shared, the remaining instances will
be corrupted.
The solution is to use skb_share_check() before adding the skb to the
fcoe_rx_list.
ping_lookup() may return a wrong sock if sk_buff's and sock's protocols
dont' match. For example, sk_buff's protocol is ETH_P_IPV6, but sock's
sk_family is AF_INET, in that case, if sk->sk_bound_dev_if is zero, a wrong
sock will be returned.
the fix is to "continue" the searching, if no matching, return NULL.

Panic happened because we eat 4 bytes of skb headroom on each
(re)transmission when sending frame without the payload and the header
length not being multiple of 4 (i.e. QoS header has 26 bytes). On such
case because paylad_aling=2 is bigger than header_align=0 we increase
header_align by 4 bytes. To prevent that we could change the check to:
if (payload_length && payload_align > header_align)
header_align += 4;
but not aligning payload at all is more effective and alignment is not
really needed by H/W (that has been tested on OpenWrt project for few
years now).

It adds a configfs_depend_item() in vhost_scsi_set_endpoint() to obtain

while an QEMU ioctl reference still exists.
Also, add matching configfs_undepend_item() in vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint()

An IOCTL call that calls spi_setup() and then dw_spi_setup() will
overwrite the persisted last transfer speed. On each transfer, the
SPI speed is compared to the last transfer speed to determine if the
clock divider registers need to be updated (did the speed change?).
This bug was observed with the spidev driver using spi-config to
update the max transfer speed.
This fix: Don't overwrite the persisted last transaction clock speed
when updating the SPI parameters in dw_spi_setup(). On the next
transaction, the new speed won't match the persisted last speed
and the hardware registers will be updated.
On initialization, the persisted last transaction clock
speed will be 0 but will be updated after the first SPI
transaction.
Move zeroed clock divider check into clock change test because
chip->clk_div is zero on startup and would cause a divide-by-zero
error. The calculation was wrong as well (can't support odd #).

We cannot restart cacheflush safely if a process provides user-defined
signal handler and signal is pending. In this case -EINTR is returned
and it is expected that process re-invokes syscall. However, there are
a few problems with that:
* looks like nobody bothers checking return value from cacheflush
* but if it did, we don't provide the restart address for that, so the
process has to use the same range again
* ...and again, what might lead to looping forever
So, remove cacheflush restarting code and terminate cache flushing
as early as fatal signal is pending.

The cause is that we set the aio ring file pages as *DIRTY* via SetPageDirty
(bypasses the VFS dirty pages increment) when init, and aio fs uses
*default_backing_dev_info* as the backing dev, which does not disable
the dirty pages accounting capability.
So truncating aio ring file will contribute to accounting dirty pages (VFS
dirty pages decrement), then error occurs.
The original goal is keeping these pages in memory (can not be reclaimed
or swapped) in life-time via marking it dirty. But thinking more, we have
already pinned pages via elevating the page's refcount, which can already
achieve the goal, so the SetPageDirty seems unnecessary.
In order to fix the issue, using the __set_page_dirty_no_writeback instead
of the nop .set_page_dirty, and dropped the SetPageDirty (don't manually
set the dirty flags, don't disable set_page_dirty(), rely on default behaviour).
With the above change, the dirty pages accounting can work well. But as we
known, aio fs is an anonymous one, which should never cause any real write-back,
we can ignore the dirty pages (write back) accounting by disabling the dirty
pages (write back) accounting capability. So we introduce an aio private
backing dev info (disabled the ACCT_DIRTY/WRITEBACK/ACCT_WB capabilities) to
replace the default one.

This patch adds a USB control message delay quirk for a few specific Marantz/Denon
devices. Without the delay the DACs will not work properly and produces the
following type of messages:
Nov 15 10:09:21 orwell kernel: [ 91.342880] usb 3-13: clock source 41 is not valid, cannot use
Nov 15 10:09:21 orwell kernel: [ 91.343775] usb 3-13: clock source 41 is not valid, cannot use
There are likely other Marantz/Denon devices using the same USB module which exhibit the
same problems. But as this cannot be verified I limited the patch to the devices
I could test.
The following two devices are covered by this path:
- Marantz SA-14S1
- Marantz HD-DAC1
When system is being suspended, if host device is not allowed to do wakeup,
xhci_suspend() needs to clear all root port wake on bits. Otherwise, some
platforms may generate spurious wakeup, even if PCI PME# is disabled.
The initial commit ff8cbf250b44 ("xhci: clear root port wake on bits"),
which also got into stable, turned out to not work correctly and had to
be reverted, and is now rewritten.

DPCM can update the FE/BE connection states totally asynchronously
from the FE's PCM state. Most of FE/BE state changes are protected by
mutex, so that they won't race, but there are still some actions that
are uncovered. For example, suppose to switch a BE while a FE's
stream is running. This would call soc_dpcm_runtime_update(), which
sets FE's runtime_update flag, then sets up and starts BEs, and clears
FE's runtime_update flag again.
When a device emits XRUN during this operation, the PCM core triggers
snd_pcm_stop(XRUN). Since the trigger action is an atomic ops, this
isn't blocked by the mutex, thus it kicks off DPCM's trigger action.
It eventually updates and clears FE's runtime_update flag while
soc_dpcm_runtime_update() is running concurrently, and it results in
confusion.
Usually, for avoiding such a race, we take a lock. There is a PCM
stream lock for that purpose. However, as already mentioned, the
trigger action is atomic, and we can't take the lock for the whole
soc_dpcm_runtime_update() or other operations that include the lengthy
jobs like hw_params or prepare.
This patch provides an alternative solution. This adds a way to defer
the conflicting trigger callback to be executed at the end of FE/BE
state changes. For doing it, two things are introduced:
- Each runtime_update state change of FEs is protected via PCM stream
lock.
- The FE's trigger callback checks the runtime_update flag. If it's
not set, the trigger action is executed there. If set, mark the
pending trigger action and returns immediately.
- At the exit of runtime_update state change, it checks whether the
pending trigger is present. If yes, it executes the trigger action
at this point.

This can be set by quirks/drivers to be used by the architecture code
that assigns the MSI addresses.
We additionally add verification in the core MSI code that the values
assigned by the architecture do satisfy the limitation in order to fail
gracefully if they don't (ie. the arch hasn't been updated to deal with
that quirk yet).
In this kernel, unsigned long is 32 bits and dma_addr_t is 64 bits.
Previously we used "unsigned long" to hold the bridge window address. But
this is a bus address, so we should use dma_addr_t instead.
Use dma_addr_t to hold the bridge window base and limit.
The question of whether the CPU can actually *address* the window is
separate and depends on what the physical address space of the CPU is and
whether the host bridge does any address translation.

This fixes an old regression introduced by commit b0d0d915 (ipx: remove the BKL).
When a recvmsg syscall blocks waiting for new data, no data can be sent on the
same socket with sendmsg because ipx_recvmsg() sleeps with the socket locked.
This breaks mars-nwe (NetWare emulator):
- the ncpserv process reads the request using recvmsg
- ncpserv forks and spawns nwconn
- ncpserv calls a (blocking) recvmsg and waits for new requests
- nwconn deadlocks in sendmsg on the same socket
Commit b0d0d915 has simply replaced BKL locking with
lock_sock/release_sock. Unlike now, BKL got unlocked while
sleeping, so a blocking recvmsg did not block a concurrent
sendmsg.
Only keep the socket locked while actually working with the socket data and
release it prior to calling skb_recv_datagram().

Since commit 6fde8f037e60 ("bonding: fix locking in
bond_loadbalance_arp_mon()") we can have a stale bond carrier state and
stale curr_active_slave when using arp monitoring in loadbalance modes. The
reason is that in bond_loadbalance_arp_mon() we can't have
do_failover == true but slave_state_changed == false, whenever do_failover
is true then slave_state_changed is also true. Then the following piece
from bond_loadbalance_arp_mon():
if (slave_state_changed) {
bond_slave_state_change(bond);
if (BOND_MODE(bond) == BOND_MODE_XOR)
bond_update_slave_arr(bond, NULL);
} else if (do_failover) {
block_netpoll_tx();
bond_select_active_slave(bond);
unblock_netpoll_tx();
}
will execute only the first branch, always and regardless of do_failover.
Since these two events aren't related in such way, we need to decouple and
consider them separately.
For example this issue could lead to the following result:
Bonding Mode: load balancing (round-robin)
*MII Status: down*
MII Polling Interval (ms): 0
Up Delay (ms): 0
Down Delay (ms): 0
ARP Polling Interval (ms): 100
ARP IP target/s (n.n.n.n form): 192.168.9.2
Since some interfaces are up, then the status of the bond should also be
up, but it will never change unless something invokes bond_set_carrier()
(i.e. enslave, bond_select_active_slave etc). Now, if I force the
calling of bond_select_active_slave via for example changing
primary_reselect (it can change in any mode), then the MII status goes to
"up" because it calls bond_select_active_slave() which should've been done
from bond_loadbalance_arp_mon() itself.

kernel that does not know about "noxsaves" with "noxsaves" on the
command line, it will interpret the argument as "noxsave", which

It's possible for iretq to userspace to fail. This can happen because
of a bad CS, SS, or RIP.
Historically, we've handled it by fixing up an exception from iretq to
land at bad_iret, which pretends that the failed iret frame was really
the hardware part of #GP(0) from userspace. To make this work, there's
an extra fixup to fudge the gs base into a usable state.
This is suboptimal because it loses the original exception. It's also
buggy because there's no guarantee that we were on the kernel stack to
begin with. For example, if the failing iret happened on return from an
NMI, then we'll end up executing general_protection on the NMI stack.
This is bad for several reasons, the most immediate of which is that
general_protection, as a non-paranoid idtentry, will try to deliver
signals and/or schedule from the wrong stack.
This patch throws out bad_iret entirely. As a replacement, it augments
the existing swapgs fudge into a full-blown iret fixup, mostly written
in C. It's should be clearer and more correct.

If SERIAL_8250 is compiled as a module, the platform specific setup
for Loongson will be a module too, and it will not work very well.

Fix by making the platform specific serial code always built-in.
For the MIGRATE_RESERVE pages, it is useful when they do not get
misplaced on free_list of other migratetype, otherwise they might get
allocated prematurely and e.g. fragment the MIGRATE_RESEVE pageblocks.
While this cannot be avoided completely when allocating new
MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks in min_free_kbytes sysctl handler, we should
prevent the misplacement where possible.
Currently, it is possible for the misplacement to happen when a
MIGRATE_RESERVE page is allocated on pcplist through rmqueue_bulk() as a
fallback for other desired migratetype, and then later freed back
through free_pcppages_bulk() without being actually used. This happens
because free_pcppages_bulk() uses get_freepage_migratetype() to choose
the free_list, and rmqueue_bulk() calls set_freepage_migratetype() with
the *desired* migratetype and not the page's original MIGRATE_RESERVE
migratetype.
This patch fixes the problem by moving the call to
set_freepage_migratetype() from rmqueue_bulk() down to
__rmqueue_smallest() and __rmqueue_fallback() where the actual page's
migratetype (e.g. from which free_list the page is taken from) is used.
Note that this migratetype might be different from the pageblock's
migratetype due to freepage stealing decisions. This is OK, as page
stealing never uses MIGRATE_RESERVE as a fallback, and also takes care
to leave all MIGRATE_CMA pages on the correct freelist.
Therefore, as an additional benefit, the call to
get_pageblock_migratetype() from rmqueue_bulk() when CMA is enabled, can
be removed completely. This relies on the fact that MIGRATE_CMA
pageblocks are created only during system init, and the above. The
related is_migrate_isolate() check is also unnecessary, as memory
isolation has other ways to move pages between freelists, and drain pcp
lists containing pages that should be isolated. The buffered_rmqueue()
can also benefit from calling get_freepage_migratetype() instead of
get_pageblock_migratetype().

Commit "mm: vmscan: obey proportional scanning requirements for kswapd"
ensured that file/anon lists were scanned proportionally for reclaim from
kswapd but ignored it for direct reclaim. The intent was to minimse
direct reclaim latency but Yuanhan Liu pointer out that it substitutes one
long stall for many small stalls and distorts aging for normal workloads
like streaming readers/writers. Hugh Dickins pointed out that a
side-effect of the same commit was that when one LRU list dropped to zero
that the entirety of the other list was shrunk leading to excessive
reclaim in memcgs. This patch scans the file/anon lists proportionally
for direct reclaim to similarly age page whether reclaimed by kswapd or
direct reclaim but takes care to abort reclaim if one LRU drops to zero
after reclaiming the requested number of pages.

We remove the call to grab_super_passive in call to super_cache_count.
This becomes a scalability bottleneck as multiple threads are trying to do
memory reclamation, e.g. when we are doing large amount of file read and
page cache is under pressure. The cached objects quickly got reclaimed
down to 0 and we are aborting the cache_scan() reclaim. But counting
creates a log jam acquiring the sb_lock.
We are holding the shrinker_rwsem which ensures the safety of call to
list_lru_count_node() and s_op->nr_cached_objects. The shrinker is
unregistered now before ->kill_sb() so the operation is safe when we are
doing unmount.

This patch (of 3):
We will like to unregister the sb shrinker before ->kill_sb(). This will
allow cached objects to be counted without call to grab_super_passive() to
update ref count on sb. We want to avoid locking during memory
reclamation especially when we are skipping the memory reclaim when we are
out of cached objects.
This is safe because grab_super_passive does a try-lock on the
sb->s_umount now, and so if we are in the unmount process, it won't ever
block. That means what used to be a deadlock and races we were avoiding
by using grab_super_passive() is now:
970 if (WARN_ON_ONCE((current->flags & (PF_MEMALLOC|PF_KSWAPD)) ==
971 PF_MEMALLOC))
I did not respond at the time, because a glance at the PageDirty block
in shrink_page_list() quickly shows that this is impossible: we don't do
writeback on file pages (other than tmpfs) from direct reclaim nowadays.
Dave was hallucinating, but it would have been disrespectful to say so.
However, my own /var/log/messages now shows similar complaints
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 28814 at fs/ext4/inode.c:1881 ext4_writepage+0xa7/0x38b()
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 27347 at fs/ext4/inode.c:1764 ext4_writepage+0xa7/0x38b()
from stressing some mmotm trees during July.
Could a dirty xfs or ext4 file page somehow get marked PageSwapBacked,
so fail shrink_page_list()'s page_is_file_cache() test, and so proceed
to mapping->a_ops->writepage()?
Yes, 3.16-rc1's commit 68711a746345 ("mm, migration: add destination
page freeing callback") has provided such a way to compaction: if
migrating a SwapBacked page fails, its newpage may be put back on the
list for later use with PageSwapBacked still set, and nothing will clear
it.
Whether that can do anything worse than issue WARN_ON_ONCEs, and get
some statistics wrong, is unclear: easier to fix than to think through
the consequences.
Fixing it here, before the put_new_page(), addresses the bug directly,
but is probably the worst place to fix it. Page migration is doing too
many parts of the job on too many levels: fixing it in
move_to_new_page() to complement its SetPageSwapBacked would be
preferable, except why is it (and newpage->mapping and newpage->index)
done there, rather than down in migrate_page_move_mapping(), once we are
sure of success? Not a cleanup to get into right now, especially not
with memcg cleanups coming in 3.17.

We use the accessed bit to age a page at page reclaim time,
and currently we also flush the TLB when doing so.
But in some workloads TLB flush overhead is very heavy. In my
simple multithreaded app with a lot of swap to several pcie
SSDs, removing the tlb flush gives about 20% ~ 30% swapout
speedup.
Fortunately just removing the TLB flush is a valid optimization:
on x86 CPUs, clearing the accessed bit without a TLB flush
doesn't cause data corruption.
It could cause incorrect page aging and the (mistaken) reclaim of
hot pages, but the chance of that should be relatively low.
So as a performance optimization don't flush the TLB when
clearing the accessed bit, it will eventually be flushed by
a context switch or a VM operation anyway. [ In the rare
event of it not getting flushed for a long time the delay
shouldn't really matter because there's no real memory
pressure for swapout to react to. ]

Compaction uses compact_checklock_irqsave() function to periodically check
for lock contention and need_resched() to either abort async compaction,
or to free the lock, schedule and retake the lock. When aborting,
cc->contended is set to signal the contended state to the caller. Two
problems have been identified in this mechanism.
First, compaction also calls directly cond_resched() in both scanners when
no lock is yet taken. This call either does not abort async compaction,
or set cc->contended appropriately. This patch introduces a new
compact_should_abort() function to achieve both. In isolate_freepages(),
the check frequency is reduced to once by SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pageblocks to
match what the migration scanner does in the preliminary page checks. In
case a pageblock is found suitable for calling isolate_freepages_block(),
the checks within there are done on higher frequency.
Second, isolate_freepages() does not check if isolate_freepages_block()
aborted due to contention, and advances to the next pageblock. This
violates the principle of aborting on contention, and might result in
pageblocks not being scanned completely, since the scanning cursor is
advanced. This problem has been noticed in the code by Joonsoo Kim when
reviewing related patches. This patch makes isolate_freepages_block()
check the cc->contended flag and abort.
In case isolate_freepages() has already isolated some pages before
aborting due to contention, page migration will proceed, which is OK since
we do not want to waste the work that has been done, and page migration
has own checks for contention. However, we do not want another isolation
attempt by either of the scanners, so cc->contended flag check is added
also to compaction_alloc() and compact_finished() to make sure compaction
is aborted right after the migration.
The outcome of the patch should be reduced lock contention by async
compaction and lower latencies for higher-order allocations where direct
compaction is involved.

The compaction free scanner in isolate_freepages() currently remembers PFN
of the highest pageblock where it successfully isolates, to be used as the
starting pageblock for the next invocation. The rationale behind this is
that page migration might return free pages to the allocator when
migration fails and we don't want to skip them if the compaction
continues.
Since migration now returns free pages back to compaction code where they
can be reused, this is no longer a concern. This patch changes
isolate_freepages() so that the PFN for restarting is updated with each
pageblock where isolation is attempted. Using stress-highalloc from
mmtests, this resulted in 10% reduction of the pages scanned by the free
scanner.
Note that the somewhat similar functionality that records highest
successful pageblock in zone->compact_cached_free_pfn, remains unchanged.
This cache is used when the whole compaction is restarted, not for
multiple invocations of the free scanner during single compaction.

During compaction, update_nr_listpages() has been used to count remaining
non-migrated and free pages after a call to migrage_pages(). The
freepages counting has become unneccessary, and it turns out that
migratepages counting is also unnecessary in most cases.
The only situation when it's needed to count cc->migratepages is when
migrate_pages() returns with a negative error code. Otherwise, the
non-negative return value is the number of pages that were not migrated,
which is exactly the count of remaining pages in the cc->migratepages
list.
Furthermore, any non-zero count is only interesting for the tracepoint of
mm_compaction_migratepages events, because after that all remaining
unmigrated pages are put back and their count is set to 0.
This patch therefore removes update_nr_listpages() completely, and changes
the tracepoint definition so that the manual counting is done only when
the tracepoint is enabled, and only when migrate_pages() returns a
negative error code.
Furthermore, migrate_pages() and the tracepoints won't be called when
there's nothing to migrate. This potentially avoids some wasted cycles
and reduces the volume of uninteresting mm_compaction_migratepages events
where "nr_migrated=0 nr_failed=0". In the stress-highalloc mmtest, this
was about 75% of the events. The mm_compaction_isolate_migratepages event
is better for determining that nothing was isolated for migration, and
this one was just duplicating the info.

Async compaction terminates prematurely when need_resched(), see
compact_checklock_irqsave(). This can never trigger, however, if the
cond_resched() in isolate_migratepages_range() always takes care of the
scheduling.
If the cond_resched() actually triggers, then terminate this pageblock
scan for async compaction as well.
We're going to want to manipulate the migration mode for compaction in the
page allocator, and currently compact_control's sync field is only a bool.
Currently, we only do MIGRATE_ASYNC or MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT compaction
depending on the value of this bool. Convert the bool to enum
migrate_mode and pass the migration mode in directly. Later, we'll want
to avoid MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT for thp allocations in the pagefault patch to
avoid unnecessary latency.
This also alters compaction triggered from sysfs, either for the entire
system or for a node, to force MIGRATE_SYNC.

Each zone has a cached migration scanner pfn for memory compaction so that
subsequent calls to memory compaction can start where the previous call
left off.
Currently, the compaction migration scanner only updates the per-zone
cached pfn when pageblocks were not skipped for async compaction. This
creates a dependency on calling sync compaction to avoid having subsequent
calls to async compaction from scanning an enormous amount of non-MOVABLE
pageblocks each time it is called. On large machines, this could be
potentially very expensive.
This patch adds a per-zone cached migration scanner pfn only for async
compaction. It is updated everytime a pageblock has been scanned in its
entirety and when no pages from it were successfully isolated. The cached
migration scanner pfn for sync compaction is updated only when called for
sync compaction.
Greg reported that he found isolated free pages were returned back to the
VM rather than the compaction freelist. This will cause holes behind the
free scanner and cause it to reallocate additional memory if necessary
later.
He detected the problem at runtime seeing that ext4 metadata pages (esp
the ones read by "sbi->s_group_desc[i] = sb_bread(sb, block)") were
constantly visited by compaction calls of migrate_pages(). These pages
had a non-zero b_count which caused fallback_migrate_page() ->
try_to_release_page() -> try_to_free_buffers() to fail.
Memory compaction works by having a "freeing scanner" scan from one end of
a zone which isolates pages as migration targets while another "migrating
scanner" scans from the other end of the same zone which isolates pages
for migration.
When page migration fails for an isolated page, the target page is
returned to the system rather than the freelist built by the freeing
scanner. This may require the freeing scanner to continue scanning memory
after suitable migration targets have already been returned to the system
needlessly.
This patch returns destination pages to the freeing scanner freelist when
page migration fails. This prevents unnecessary work done by the freeing
scanner but also encourages memory to be as compacted as possible at the
end of the zone.
Memory migration uses a callback defined by the caller to determine how to
allocate destination pages. When migration fails for a source page,
however, it frees the destination page back to the system.
This patch adds a memory migration callback defined by the caller to
determine how to free destination pages. If a caller, such as memory
compaction, builds its own freelist for migration targets, this can reuse
already freed memory instead of scanning additional memory.
If the caller provides a function to handle freeing of destination pages,
it is called when page migration fails. If the caller passes NULL then
freeing back to the system will be handled as usual. This patch
introduces no functional change.
isolate_freepages() is currently somewhat hard to follow thanks to many
looks like it is related to the 'low_pfn' variable, but in fact it is not.
This patch renames the 'high_pfn' variable to a hopefully less confusing name,
and slightly changes its handling without a functional change. A comment made
obsolete by recent changes is also updated.
