drivers/video/backlight/lp855x_bl.c: use generic PWM functions
The LP855x family devices support the PWM input for the backlight control.
Period of the PWM is configurable in the platform side. Platform
specific functions are unnecessary anymore because generic PWM functions
are used inside the driver.
(PWM input mode)
To set the brightness, new lp855x_pwm_ctrl() is used.
If a PWM device is not allocated, devm_pwm_get() is called.
The PWM consumer name is from the chip name such as 'lp8550' and 'lp8556'.
To get the brightness value, no additional handling is required.
Just the value of 'props.brightness' is returned.
If the PWM driver is not ready while initializing the LP855x driver, it's
OK. The PWM device can be retrieved later, when the brightness value is
changed.
Documentation is updated with an example.

swap: add a simple detector for inappropriate swapin readahead

This patch addes a simple random read detection similar to file mmap
readahead. If a random read is detected, swapin readahead will be

I run anonymous mmap write micro benchmark, which will triger swapin/swapout.
For both harddisk and SSD, the randwrite swap workload run time is reduced

Interestingly, the randwrite harddisk test is improved too. This might be
because swapin readahead needs to allocate extra memory, which further

this would help...

slub: slub-specific propagation changes
SLUB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with sysfs-based
tunables. When creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any
tunables the parent cache already had.
This can be done by tapping into the store attribute function provided by
the allocator. We of course don't need to mess with read-only fields.
Since the attributes can have multiple types and are stored internally by
sysfs, the best strategy is to issue a ->show() in the root cache, and
then ->store() in the memcg cache.
The drawback of that, is that sysfs can allocate up to a page in buffering
for show(), that we are likely not to need, but also can't guarantee. To
avoid always allocating a page for that, we can update the caches at store
time with the maximum attribute size ever stored to the root cache. We
will then get a buffer big enough to hold it. The corolary to this, is
that if no stores happened, nothing will be propagated.
It can also happen that a root cache has its tunables updated during
normal system operation. In this case, we will propagate the change to
all caches that are already active.

slab: propagate tunable values
SLAB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with tunables. When
creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any tunables the
parent cache already had.
This could be done by an explicit call to do_tune_cpucache() after the
cache is created. But this is not very convenient now that the caches are
created from common code, since this function is SLAB-specific.
Another method of doing that is taking advantage of the fact that
do_tune_cpucache() is always called from enable_cpucache(), which is
called at cache initialization. We can just preset the values, and then
things work as expected.
It can also happen that a root cache has its tunables updated during
normal system operation. In this case, we will propagate the change to
all caches that are already active.
This change will require us to move the assignment of root_cache in
memcg_params a bit earlier. We need this to be already set - which
memcg_kmem_register_cache will do - when we reach __kmem_cache_create()

memcg: infrastructure to match an allocation to the right cache
The page allocator is able to bind a page to a memcg when it is allocated.
But for the caches, we'd like to have as many objects as possible in a
page belonging to the same cache.
This is done in this patch by calling memcg_kmem_get_cache in the
beginning of every allocation function. This routing is patched out by
static branches when kernel memory controller is not being used.
It assumes that the task allocating, which determines the memcg in the
page allocator, belongs to the same cgroup throughout the whole process.
Misacounting can happen if the task calls memcg_kmem_get_cache() while
belonging to a cgroup, and later on changes. This is considered
acceptable, and should only happen upon task migration.
Before the cache is created by the memcg core, there is also a possible
imbalance: the task belongs to a memcg, but the cache being allocated from
is the global cache, since the child cache is not yet guaranteed to be
ready. This case is also fine, since in this case the GFP_KMEMCG will not
be passed and the page allocator will not attempt any cgroup accounting.

Theoreticaly, this is as high as 1 << sizeof(css_id), which is currently
in the 64k pointers range. Most of the time, we won't be using that much.
What goes in this patch, is a simple scheme to dynamically allocate such
an array, in order to minimize memory usage for memcg caches. Because we
would also like to avoid allocations all the time, at least for now, the
array will only grow. It will tend to be big enough to hold the maximum
number of kmem-limited memcgs ever achieved.
We'll allocate it to be a minimum of 64 kmem-limited memcgs. When we have
more than that, we'll start doubling the size of this array every time the
limit is reached.
Because we are only considering kmem limited memcgs, a natural point for
this to happen is when we write to the limit. At that point, we already
have set_limit_mutex held, so that will become our natural synchronization
mechanism.

We currently provide lockdep annotation for kmalloc caches, and also

something trivial to avoid.
My proposal with this patch, is to extend this to caches whose slab
management object lives within the slab as well ("on_slab"). The need for
this arose in the context of testing kmemcg-slab patches. With such

This will guarantee that every stack page is accounted to the memcg the

memcg: execute the whole memcg freeing in free_worker()
A lot of the initialization we do in mem_cgroup_create() is done with
softirqs enabled. This include grabbing a css id, which holds
&ss->id_lock->rlock, and the per-zone trees, which holds
rtpz->lock->rlock. All of those signal to the lockdep mechanism that
those locks can be used in SOFTIRQ-ON-W context. This means that the
freeing of memcg structure must happen in a compatible context, otherwise
we'll get a deadlock, like the one bellow, caught by lockdep:
This usage pattern could not be triggered before kmem came into play.
With the introduction of kmem stack handling, it is possible that we call
the last mem_cgroup_put() from the task destructor, which is run in an rcu
callback. Such callbacks are run with softirqs disabled, leading to the
offensive usage pattern.
In general, we have little, if any, means to guarantee in which context
the last memcg_put will happen. The best we can do is test it and try to
make sure no invalid context releases are happening. But as we add more
code to memcg, the possible interactions grow in number and expose more
ways to get context conflicts. One thing to keep in mind, is that part of
the freeing process is already deferred to a worker, such as vfree(), that
can only be called from process context.
For the moment, the only two functions we really need moved away are:
* free_css_id(), and
* mem_cgroup_remove_from_trees().
But because the later accesses per-zone info,
free_mem_cgroup_per_zone_info() needs to be moved as well. With that, we
are left with the per_cpu stats only. Better move it all.

every charge, and mem_cgroup_put() at every uncharge.
This can get expensive, however, and we can do better. mem_cgroup_get()

is gone.
We'll need an extra bit in kmem_account_flags for that:
KMEM_ACCOUNTED_DEAD. it will be set when the cgroup dies, if there are
charges in the group. If there aren't, we can proceed right away.
Our uncharge function will have to test that bit every time the charges
drop to 0. Because that is not the likely output of res_counter_uncharge,
this should not impose a big hit on us: it is certainly much better than a

We always account to both user and kernel resource_counters. This
effectively means that an independent kernel limit is in place when the
limit is set to a lower value than the user memory. A equal or higher
value means that the user limit will always hit first, meaning that kmem

both the stack and several slabs used in process creation are such, at
least with the debug options I had), it assumed it's being called for
stock and just retried without reclaiming.
Fix that by passing down a minsize argument in addition to the csize.
And what to do about that (csize == PAGE_SIZE && ret) retry? If it's
needed at all (and presumably is since it's there, perhaps to handle

This is because kernel memory allocations will also draw from the user

mm, oom: allow exiting threads to have access to memory reserves
Exiting threads, those with PF_EXITING set, can pagefault and require
memory before they can make forward progress. This happens, for instance,
when a process must fault task->robust_list, a userspace structure, before
detaching its memory.
These threads also aren't guaranteed to get access to memory reserves
unless oom killed or killed from userspace. The oom killer won't grant
memory reserves if other threads are also exiting other than current and
stalling at the same point. This prevents needlessly killing processes
when others are already exiting.
Instead of special casing all the possible situations between PF_EXITING
getting set and a thread detaching its mm where it may allocate memory,
which probably wouldn't get updated when a change is made to the exit
path, the solution is to give all exiting threads access to memory
reserves if they call the oom killer. This allows them to quickly
allocate, detach its mm, and free the memory it represents.
Summary of Luigi's bug report:
: He had an oom condition where threads were faulting on task->robust_list
: and repeatedly called the oom killer but it would defer killing a thread
: because it saw other PF_EXITING threads. This can happen anytime we need

mm: thp: set the accessed flag for old pages on access fault
On x86 memory accesses to pages without the ACCESSED flag set result in
the ACCESSED flag being set automatically. With the ARM architecture a
page access fault is raised instead (and it will continue to be raised
until the ACCESSED flag is set for the appropriate PTE/PMD).
For normal memory pages, handle_pte_fault will call pte_mkyoung
(effectively setting the ACCESSED flag). For transparent huge pages,
pmd_mkyoung will only be called for a write fault.
This patch ensures that faults on transparent hugepages which do not
result in a CoW update the access flags for the faulting pmd.

The block within sys_swapoff() which re-inserts the swap_info into the

the swap_lock. While this is safe at that point, it is subtle code.
Simplify the code by moving the reading of these values to a separate
function, refactoring it a bit so they are read from within the swap_lock.
This is easier to understand, and matches better the way it worked before
I unified the insertion of the swap_info from both sys_swapon and
sys_swapoff.
This change should make no functional difference. The only real change is
moving the read of two or three structure fields to within the lock
(frontswap_map_get() is nothing more than a read of p->frontswap_map).

Aka: if some memory of a node which has no onlined memory is online, but
this new memory onlined is not normal memory (for example, highmem), we
should not allocate kmem_cache_node for SLUB.
And if the last normal memory is offlined, but the node still has memory,
we should remove kmem_cache_node for that node. (The current code delays
it when all of the memory is offlined)
So we only do something when marg->status_change_nid_normal > 0.
marg->status_change_nid is not suitable here.
The same problem doesn't exist in SLAB, because SLAB allocates kmem_list3
for every node even the node don't have normal memory, SLAB tolerates
kmem_list3 on alien nodes. SLUB only focuses on the nodes which have
normal memory, it don't tolerate alien kmem_cache_node. The patch makes

memory_hotplug: fix possible incorrect node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY]
Currently memory_hotplug only manages the node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY], it

Example, if a node is empty before online, and we online a memory which is
in ZONE_NORMAL. And after online, node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] is correct,
but node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] is incorrect, the online code doesn't set
the new online node to node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY].
The same thing will happen when offlining (the offline code doesn't clear
the node from node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] when needed). Some memory
managment code depends node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY], so we have to fix up
the node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY].
We add node_states_check_changes_online() and
node_states_check_changes_offline() to detect whether
node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] and node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] are changed
while hotpluging.
Also add @status_change_nid_normal to struct memory_notify, thus the
memory hotplug callbacks know whether the node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] are
changed. (We can add a @flags and reuse @status_change_nid instead of
introducing @status_change_nid_normal, but it will add much more
complexity in memory hotplug callback in every subsystem. So introducing
@status_change_nid_normal is better and it doesn't change the sematics of
@status_change_nid)
