smp: Give WARN()ing when calling smp_call_function_many()/single() in serving irq
Currently the functions smp_call_function_many()/single() will give a
WARN()ing only in the case of irqs_disabled(), but that check is not
enough to guarantee execution of the SMP cross-calls.
In many other cases such as softirq handling/interrupt handling, the two
APIs still can not be called, just as the smp_call_function_many()
comments say:
* You must not call this function with disabled interrupts or from a
* hardware interrupt handler or from a bottom half handler. Preemption
* must be disabled when calling this function.
There is a real case for softirq DEADLOCK case:
CPUA CPUB
spin_lock(&spinlock)
Any irq coming, call the irq handler
irq_exit()
spin_lock_irq(&spinlock)
<== Blocking here due to
CPUB hold it
__do_softirq()
run_timer_softirq()
timer_cb()
call smp_call_function_many()
send IPI interrupt to CPUA
wait_csd()
Then both CPUA and CPUB will be deadlocked here.
So we should give a warning in the nmi, hardirq or softirq context as well.
Moreover, adding one new macro in_serving_irq() which indicates we are
processing nmi, hardirq or sofirq.

zbud: add to mm/
zbud is an special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is
designed to store up to two compressed pages per physical page. While
this design limits storage density, it has simple and deterministic
reclaim properties that make it preferable to a higher density approach
when reclaim will be used.
zbud works by storing compressed pages, or "zpages", together in pairs in
a single memory page called a "zbud page". The first buddy is "left
justifed" at the beginning of the zbud page, and the last buddy is "right
justified" at the end of the zbud page. The benefit is that if either
buddy is freed, the freed buddy space, coalesced with whatever slack space
that existed between the buddies, results in the largest possible free
region within the zbud page.
zbud also provides an attractive lower bound on density. The ratio of
zpages to zbud pages can not be less than 1. This ensures that zbud can
never "do harm" by using more pages to store zpages than the uncompressed
zpages would have used on their own.
This implementation is a rewrite of the zbud allocator internally used by
zcache in the driver/staging tree. The rewrite was necessary to remove
some of the zcache specific elements that were ingrained throughout and
provide a generic allocation interface that can later be used by zsmalloc
and others.
This patch adds zbud to mm/ for later use by zswap.

last user, is to hook up to freeing time, but the fact that we still have

This patch (of 2):
Disabling accounting is only relevant for some specific memcg internal
allocations. Therefore we would initially not have such check at
memcg_kmem_newpage_charge, since direct calls to the page allocator that
are marked with GFP_KMEMCG only happen outside memcg core. We are mostly
concerned with cache allocations and by having this test at
memcg_kmem_get_cache we are already able to relay the allocation to the
root cache and bypass the memcg caches altogether.
There is one exception, though: the SLUB allocator does not create large
order caches, but rather service large kmallocs directly from the page
allocator. Therefore, the following sequence, when backed by the SLUB
allocator:
would effectively ignore the fact that we should skip accounting, since it
will drive us directly to this function without passing through the cache
selector memcg_kmem_get_cache. Such large allocations are extremely rare
but can happen, for instance, for the cache arrays.
This was never a problem in practice, because we weren't skipping
accounting for the cache arrays. All the allocations we were skipping
were fairly small. However, the fact that we were not skipping those
allocations are a problem and can prevent the memcgs from going away. As
we fix that, we need to make sure that the fix will also work with the
SLUB allocator.

mm: invoke oom-killer from remaining unconverted page fault handlers
A few remaining architectures directly kill the page faulting task in an
out of memory situation. This is usually not a good idea since that task
might not even use a significant amount of memory and so may not be the
optimal victim to resolve the situation.
Since 2.6.29's 1c0fe6e ("mm: invoke oom-killer from page fault") there is
a hook that architecture page fault handlers are supposed to call to
invoke the OOM killer and let it pick the right task to kill. Convert the
remaining architectures over to this hook.
To have the previous behavior of simply taking out the faulting task the
vm.oom_kill_allocating_task sysctl can be set to 1.

The main shrinker driver will keep trying for a while to free objects if
the returned value from the shrink scan procedure is 0. That means "no

But what we should say here is a different thing: that it is impossible to
shrink, and we would better bail out soon. We find this behavior more
appropriate for the case where the lock cannot be taken. Specially given
the hammer behavior of the i915: if another thread is already shrinking,
we are likely not to be able to shrink anything anyway when we finally

xfs: rework buffer dispose list tracking
In converting the buffer lru lists to use the generic code, the locking
for marking the buffers as on the dispose list was lost. This results in
confusion in LRU buffer tracking and acocunting, resulting in reference
counts being mucked up and filesystem beig unmountable.
To fix this, introduce an internal buffer spinlock to protect the state
field that holds the dispose list information. Because there is now
locking needed around xfs_buf_lru_add/del, and they are used in exactly
one place each two lines apart, get rid of the wrappers and code the logic
directly in place.
Further, the LRU emptying code used on unmount is less than optimal.
Convert it to use a dispose list as per a normal shrinker walk, and repeat
the walk that fills the dispose list until the LRU is empty. Thi avoids
needing to drop and regain the LRU lock for every item being freed, and
allows the same logic as the shrinker isolate call to be used. Simpler,
easier to understand.

vmscan: per-node deferred work
The list_lru infrastructure already keeps per-node LRU lists in its
node-specific list_lru_node arrays and provide us with a per-node API, and
the shrinkers are properly equiped with node information. This means that
we can now focus our shrinking effort in a single node, but the work that
is deferred from one run to another is kept global at nr_in_batch. Work
can be deferred, for instance, during direct reclaim under a GFP_NOFS
allocation, where situation, all the filesystem shrinkers will be
prevented from running and accumulate in nr_in_batch the amount of work
they should have done, but could not.
This creates an impedance problem, where upon node pressure, work deferred
will accumulate and end up being flushed in other nodes. The problem we
describe is particularly harmful in big machines, where many nodes can
accumulate at the same time, all adding to the global counter nr_in_batch.
As we accumulate more and more, we start to ask for the caches to flush
even bigger numbers. The result is that the caches are depleted and do
not stabilize. To achieve stable steady state behavior, we need to tackle
it differently.
In this patch we keep the deferred count per-node, in the new array
nr_deferred[] (the name is also a bit more descriptive) and will never
accumulate that to other nodes.

list_lru: per-node list infrastructure
Now that we have an LRU list API, we can start to enhance the
implementation. This splits the single LRU list into per-node lists and
locks to enhance scalability. Items are placed on lists according to the
node the memory belongs to. To make scanning the lists efficient, also
track whether the per-node lists have entries in them in a active
nodemask.
Note: We use a fixed-size array for the node LRU, this struct can be very
big if MAX_NUMNODES is big. If this becomes a problem this is fixable by
turning this into a pointer and dynamically allocating this to
nr_node_ids. This quantity is firwmare-provided, and still would provide
room for all nodes at the cost of a pointer lookup and an extra
allocation. Because that allocation will most likely come from a may very
well fail.

return a count of freeable objects in the cache, and another to scan a
certain number of objects in the cache for freeing. In defining these new
operations, ensure the return values and resultant behaviours are clearly
defined and documented.

dcache: remove dentries from LRU before putting on dispose list
One of the big problems with modifying the way the dcache shrinker and LRU
implementation works is that the LRU is abused in several ways. One of
these is shrink_dentry_list().
Basically, we can move a dentry off the LRU onto a different list without
doing any accounting changes, and then use dentry_lru_prune() to remove it
from what-ever list it is now on to do the LRU accounting at that point.
This makes it -really hard- to change the LRU implementation. The use of
the per-sb LRU lock serialises movement of the dentries between the
different lists and the removal of them, and this is the only reason that
it works. If we want to break up the dentry LRU lock and lists into, say,
per-node lists, we remove the only serialisation that allows this lru
list/dispose list abuse to work.
To make this work effectively, the dispose list has to be isolated from
the LRU list - dentries have to be removed from the LRU *before* being
placed on the dispose list. This means that the LRU accounting and
isolation is completed before disposal is started, and that means we can
change the LRU implementation freely in future.
This means that dentries *must* be marked with DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST when
they are placed on the dispose list so that we don't think that parent
dentries found in try_prune_one_dentry() are on the LRU when the are
actually on the dispose list. This would result in accounting the dentry
to the LRU a second time. Hence dentry_lru_del() has to handle the
DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST case

super: fix calculation of shrinkable objects for small numbers
The sysctl knob sysctl_vfs_cache_pressure is used to determine which
percentage of the shrinkable objects in our cache we should actively try
to shrink.
It works great in situations in which we have many objects (at least more
than 100), because the aproximation errors will be negligible. But if
this is not the case, specially when total_objects < 100, we may end up
concluding that we have no objects at all (total / 100 = 0, if total <
100).
This is certainly not the biggest killer in the world, but may matter in
very low kernel memory situations.

fs: bump inode and dentry counters to long
This series reworks our current object cache shrinking infrastructure in
two main ways:
* Noticing that a lot of users copy and paste their own version of LRU
lists for objects, we put some effort in providing a generic version.
It is modeled after the filesystem users: dentries, inodes, and xfs
(for various tasks), but we expect that other users could benefit in
the near future with little or no modification. Let us know if you
have any issues.
* The underlying list_lru being proposed automatically and
transparently keeps the elements in per-node lists, and is able to
manipulate the node lists individually. Given this infrastructure, we
are able to modify the up-to-now hammer called shrink_slab to proceed
with node-reclaim instead of always searching memory from all over like
it has been doing.
Per-node lru lists are also expected to lead to less contention in the lru
locks on multi-node scans, since we are now no longer fighting for a
global lock. The locks usually disappear from the profilers with this
change.
Although we have no official benchmarks for this version - be our guest to
independently evaluate this - earlier versions of this series were
performance tested (details at
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/100537) yielding no
visible performance regressions while yielding a better qualitative
behavior in NUMA machines.
With this infrastructure in place, we can use the list_lru entry point to
provide memcg isolation and per-memcg targeted reclaim. Historically,
those two pieces of work have been posted together. This version presents
only the infrastructure work, deferring the memcg work for a later time,
so we can focus on getting this part tested. You can see more about the
history of such work at http://lwn.net/Articles/552769/

sparsemem: add BUILD_BUG_ON when sizeof mem_section is non-power-of-2
Instead of leaving a hidden trap for the next person who comes along and
wants to add something to mem_section, add a big fat warning about it
needing to be a power-of-2, and insert a BUILD_BUG_ON() in sparse_init()
to catch mistakes.
Right now non-power-of-2 mem_sections cause a number of WARNs at boot
(which don't clearly point to the size of mem_section as an issue), but
the system limps on (temporarily, at least).
This is based upon Dave Hansen's earlier RFC where he ran into the same
issue:
"sparsemem: fix boot when SECTIONS_PER_ROOT is not power-of-2"
