mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge API
The memcg uncharging code that is involved towards the end of a page's
lifetime - truncation, reclaim, swapout, migration - is impressively
complicated and fragile.
Because anonymous and file pages were always charged before they had their
page->mapping established, uncharges had to happen when the page type
could still be known from the context; as in unmap for anonymous, page
cache removal for file and shmem pages, and swap cache truncation for swap
pages. However, these operations happen well before the page is actually
freed, and so a lot of synchronization is necessary:
- Charging, uncharging, page migration, and charge migration all need
to take a per-page bit spinlock as they could race with uncharging.
- Swap cache truncation happens during both swap-in and swap-out, and
possibly repeatedly before the page is actually freed. This means
that the memcg swapout code is called from many contexts that make
no sense and it has to figure out the direction from page state to
make sure memory and memory+swap are always correctly charged.
- On page migration, the old page might be unmapped but then reused,
so memcg code has to prevent untimely uncharging in that case.
Because this code - which should be a simple charge transfer - is so
special-cased, it is not reusable for replace_page_cache().
But now that charged pages always have a page->mapping, introduce
mem_cgroup_uncharge(), which is called after the final put_page(), when we
know for sure that nobody is looking at the page anymore.
For page migration, introduce mem_cgroup_migrate(), which is called after
the migration is successful and the new page is fully rmapped. Because
the old page is no longer uncharged after migration, prevent double
charges by decoupling the page's memcg association (PCG_USED and
pc->mem_cgroup) from the page holding an actual charge. The new bits
PCG_MEM and PCG_MEMSW represent the respective charges and are transferred
to the new page during migration.
mem_cgroup_migrate() is suitable for replace_page_cache() as well, which
gets rid of mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache().
Swap accounting is massively simplified: because the page is no longer
uncharged as early as swap cache deletion, a new mem_cgroup_swapout() can
transfer the page's memory+swap charge (PCG_MEMSW) to the swap entry
before the final put_page() in page reclaim.
Finally, page_cgroup changes are now protected by whatever protection the
page itself offers: anonymous pages are charged under the page table lock,
whereas page cache insertions, swapin, and migration hold the page lock.
Uncharging happens under full exclusion with no outstanding references.
Charging and uncharging also ensure that the page is off-LRU, which
serializes against charge migration. Remove the very costly page_cgroup
lock and set pc->flags non-atomically.

mm: memcontrol: rewrite charge API
The memcg charge API charges pages before they are rmapped - i.e. have an
actual "type" - and so every callsite needs its own set of charge and
uncharge functions to know what type is being operated on. Worse,
uncharge has to happen from a context that is still type-specific, rather
than at the end of the page's lifetime with exclusive access, and so
requires a lot of synchronization.
Rewrite the charge API to provide a generic set of try_charge(),
commit_charge() and cancel_charge() transaction operations, much like
what's currently done for swap-in:
mem_cgroup_try_charge() attempts to reserve a charge, reclaiming
pages from the memcg if necessary.
mem_cgroup_commit_charge() commits the page to the charge once it
has a valid page->mapping and PageAnon() reliably tells the type.
mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() aborts the transaction.
This reduces the charge API and enables subsequent patches to
drastically simplify uncharging.
As pages need to be committed after rmap is established but before they
are added to the LRU, page_add_new_anon_rmap() must stop doing LRU
additions again. Revive lru_cache_add_active_or_unevictable().

mm, hugetlbfs: fix rmapping for anonymous hugepages with page_pgoff()
page->index stores pagecache index when the page is mapped into file
mapping region, and the index is in pagecache size unit, so it depends on
the page size. Some of users of reverse mapping obviously assumes that
page->index is in PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT unit, so they don't work for anonymous
hugepage.
For example, consider that we have 3-hugepage vma and try to mbind the 2nd
hugepage to migrate to another node. Then the vma is split and
migrate_page() is called for the 2nd hugepage (belonging to the middle
vma.) In migrate operation, rmap_walk_anon() tries to find the relevant
vma to which the target hugepage belongs, but here we miscalculate pgoff.
So anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach() grabs invalid vma, which fires
VM_BUG_ON.
This patch introduces a new API that is usable both for normal page and
hugepage to get PAGE_SIZE offset from page->index. Users should clearly
distinguish page_index for pagecache index and page_pgoff for page offset.

CMA: generalize CMA reserved area management functionality
Currently, there are two users on CMA functionality, one is the DMA

maintain bitmap not for 1 page, but for more size. Eventually it use
bitmap where one bit represents 64 pages.
When I implement CMA related patches, I should change those two places to

This is unacceptable for kmemcg, which needs to be sure that there will be

Let's fix this race by checking if node partial list is empty under

The former approach isn't a good option from the future development point
of view, because every modifications to kmem_cache_free must be done with
great care then. Hence we should provide a method to wait for all

This patch makes SLUB's implementation of kmem_cache_free non-preemptable.
As a result, synchronize_sched() will work as a barrier against

will protect us against the use-after-free.
This won't affect performance of kmem_cache_free, because we already

end of the function. Neither should it affect the system latency, because
kmem_cache_free is extremely short, even in its slow path.

memcg: cleanup memcg_cache_params refcnt usage
When a memcg is turned offline, some of its kmem caches can still have
active objects and therefore cannot be destroyed immediately. Currently,
we simply leak such caches along with the owner memcg, which is bad and
should be resolved.
It would be perfect if we could move all slab pages of such dead caches to
the root/parent cache on memcg offline. However, when I tried to
implement such re-parenting, I was pointed out by Christoph that the
overhead of this would be unacceptable, at least for SLUB (see
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/13/446)
The problem with re-parenting of individual slabs is that it requires
tracking of all slabs allocated to a cache, but SLUB doesn't track full
slabs if !debug. Changing this behavior would result in significant
performance degradation of regular alloc/free paths, because it would make
alloc/free take per node list locks more often.
After pondering about this problem for some time, I think we should return
to dead caches self-destruction, i.e. scheduling cache destruction work
when the last slab page is freed.
This is the behavior we had before commit 5bd93da9917f ("memcg, slab:
simplify synchronization scheme"). The reason why it was removed was that
it simply didn't work, because SL[AU]B are implemented in such a way that
they don't discard empty slabs immediately, but prefer keeping them cached
for indefinite time to speed up further allocations.
However, we can change this w/o noticeable performance impact for both
SLAB and SLUB by making them drop free slabs as soon as they become empty.
Since dead caches should never be allocated from, removing empty slabs
from them shouldn't result in noticeable performance degradation.
So, this patch set reintroduces dead cache self-destruction and adds some
tweaks to SL[AU]B to prevent dead caches from hanging around indefinitely.
It is organized as follows:
- patches 1-3 reintroduce dead memcg cache self-destruction;
- patch 4 makes SLUB's version of kmem_cache_shrink always drop empty
slabs, even if it fails to allocate a temporary array;
- patches 5 and 6 fix possible use-after-free connected with
asynchronous cache destruction;
- patches 7 and 8 disable caching of empty slabs for dead memcg caches
for SLUB and SLAB respectively.
Note, this doesn't resolve the problem of memcgs pinned by dead kmem
caches. I'm planning to solve this by re-parenting dead kmem caches to
the parent memcg.
This patch (of 8):
Currently, we count the number of pages allocated to a per memcg cache in
memcg_cache_params->nr_pages. We only use this counter to find out if the
cache is empty and can be destroyed. So let's rename it to refcnt and
make it count not pages, but slabs so that we can use atomic_inc/dec
instead of atomic_add/sub in memcg_charge/uncharge_slab.
Also, as the number of slabs theoretically can be greater than INT_MAX,
let's use atomic_long for the counter.

Although I'm not sure that this is right usage or not, there is a solution

Specifically :
insertions use list_add_rcu(),
deletions use list_del_rcu() and kfree_rcu().
Note the rb tree is not used from rcu reader (it would not be safe),
only the vmap_area_list has full RCU protection.
Note that __purge_vmap_area_lazy() already uses this rcu protection.
: While rcu list traversal over the vmap_area_list is safe, this may
: arrive at different results than the spinlocked version. The rcu list
: traversal version will not be a 'snapshot' of a single, valid instant

Joonsoo:
: Yes, you are right, but I don't think that we should be strict here.

hwpoison: fix the handling path of the victimized page frame that belong to non-LRU
Until now, the kernel has the same policy to handle victimized page frames
that belong to kernel-space(reserved/slab-subsystem) or non-LRU(unknown
page state). In other word, the result of handling either of these
victimized page frames is (IGNORED | FAILED), and the return value of
memory_failure() is -EBUSY.
This patch is to avoid that memory_failure() returns very soon due to the
"true" value of (!PageLRU(p)), and it also ensures that action_result()
can report more precise information("reserved kernel", "kernel slab", and
"unknown page state") instead of "non LRU", especially for memory errors
which are detected by memory-scrubbing.

slub: reduce duplicate creation on the first object
When a kmem_cache is created with ctor, each object in the kmem_cache will
be initialized before use. In the slub implementation, the first object
will be initialized twice.
This patch avoids the duplication of initialization of the first object.
Fixes commit 7656c72b5a63: ("SLUB: add macros for scanning objects in a
slab").

mm: slub: SLUB_DEBUG=n: use the same alloc/free hooks as for SLUB_DEBUG=y
There are two versions of alloc/free hooks now - one for
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y and another one for CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=n.
I see no reason why calls to other debugging subsystems (LOCKDEP,
DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP, KMEMCHECK and FAILSLAB) are hidden under SLUB_DEBUG.
All this features should work regardless of SLUB_DEBUG config, as all of
them already have own Kconfig options.
This also fixes failslab for CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=n configuration. It simply
has not worked before because should_failslab() call was in a hook hidden
under "#ifdef CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG #else".
Note: There is one concealed change in allocation path for SLUB_DEBUG=n
and all other debugging features disabled. The might_sleep_if() call can
generate some code even if DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=n. For PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y
might_sleep() inserts _cond_resched() call, but I think it should be ok.

No this was simply a mistake the check needs to be preserved.

slab common: add functions for kmem_cache_node access
The patchset provides two new functions in mm/slab.h and modifies SLAB and
SLUB to use these. The kmem_cache_node structure is shared between both
allocators and the use of common accessors will allow us to move more code
into slab_common.c in the future.
This patch (of 3):
These functions allow to eliminate repeatedly used code in both SLAB and
SLUB and also allow for the insertion of debugging code that may be needed
in the development process.

block: restore /proc/partitions to not display non-partitionable removable devices
We found with newer kernels we started seeing the cdrom device showing
up in /proc/partitions, but it was not there before.
Looking into this I found that commit d27769ec ("block: add
GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN") introduces this change in behavior. It's not
clear to me from the commit's changelog if this change was intentional or
not. This comment still remains: /* Don't show non-partitionable
removeable devices or empty devices */ so I've decided to send a patch to
restore the behavior of not printing unpartitionable removable devices.

bio: modify __bio_add_page() to accept pages that don't start a new segment
The original behaviour is to refuse to add a new page if the maximum
number of segments has been reached, regardless of the fact the page we
are going to add can be merged into the last segment or not.
Unfortunately, when the system runs under heavy memory fragmentation
conditions, a driver may try to add multiple pages to the last segment.
The original code won't accept them and EBUSY will be reported to
userspace.
This patch modifies the function so it refuses to add a page only in case
the latter starts a new segment and the maximum number of segments has
already been reached.
The bug can be easily reproduced with the st driver:
1) set CONFIG_SCSI_MPT2SAS_MAX_SGE or CONFIG_SCSI_MPT3SAS_MAX_SGE to 16
2) modprobe st buffer_kbs=1024
3) #dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/st0 bs=1M count=10
