The call to frontswap_init() was added within enable_swap_info(), which
was called not only during sys_swapon, but also to reinsert the swap_info
into the swap_list in case of failure of try_to_unuse() within
sys_swapoff. This means that frontswap_init() might be called more than
once for the same swap area.
While as far as I could see no frontswap implementation has any problem
with it (and in fact, all the ones I found ignore the parameter passed to
frontswap_init), this could change in the future.
To prevent future problems, move the call to frontswap_init() to outside
the code shared between sys_swapon and sys_swapoff.

mm: refactor reinsert of swap_info in sys_swapoff()
The block within sys_swapoff() which re-inserts the swap_info into the
swap_list in case of failure of try_to_unuse() reads a few values outside
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).

However, the code forgot to also skip scanning anonymous pages in that

slub, hotplug: ignore unrelated node's hot-adding and hot-removing
SLUB only focuses on the nodes which have normal memory and it ignores the
other node's hot-adding and hot-removing.
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
SLUB become self-compatible and avoids WARNs and BUGs in rare conditions.

memory_hotplug: fix possible incorrect node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY]
Currently memory_hotplug only manages the node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY], it
forgets to manage node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY]. This may cause
node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] to become incorrect.
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)

mm/page_alloc.c: remove duplicate check
While allocating pages using buddy allocator, the compound page is
probably split up to free pages. Under these circumstances, the compound
page should be destroyed by destroy_compound_page(). However, there is a
duplicate check to judge if the page is compound.
Remove the duplicate check since the compound_order() returns 0 when the
page doesn't have PG_head set in destroy_compound_page(). That is to say,
destroy_compound_page() needn't check PageHead().

tasklet: ignore disabled tasklet in tasklet_action()
We met a ksoftirqd 100% issue, the perf top shows kernel is busy with
tasklet_action(), but no actual action is shown. From dumped kernel,
there's only one disabled tasklet on the tasklet_vec.
tasklet_action might be handled after tasklet is disabled, this will make
disabled tasklet stayed on tasklet_vec. tasklet_action will not handle
disabled tasklet, but place it on the tail of tasklet_vec, still raise
softirq for this tasklet. Things will become worse if device driver uses
tasklet_disable on its device remove/close code. The disabled tasklet
will stay on the vec, frequently __raise_softirq_off() and make ksoftirqd
wakeup even if no tasklets need to be handled.
This patch introduced a new TASKLET_STATE_HI bit to indicate HI_SOFTIRQ,
in tasklet_action(), simply ignore the disabled tasklet and don't raise
the softirq nr. In my previous patch, I remove tasklet_hi_enable() since
it is the same as tasklet_enable(). So only tasklet_enable() needs to be
modified, if tasklet state is changed from disable to enable, use
__tasklet_schedule() to put it on the right vec.

Move the device rebind procedures for cardbus devices from the pm.resume

The reason for moving the code is: "[...] The PM code needs to send
suspend and resume messages to every device in the right order, and it
can't do that if new devices are being added at the same time. [...]"
However the situation really isn't quite that rigid. In particular,
adding new children during a resume callback shouldn't cause much of
problem because the children don't need to be resumed anyway (since they
were never suspended). On the other hand, if you do it you will get a
dev_warn() from the PM core, something like 'parent should not be
sleeping'.
Still, it is considered bad form and should be avoided if possible."

mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction only in direct reclaim
Jiri Slaby reported the following:
(It's an effective revert of "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages
reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures".)
Given kswapd had hours of runtime in ps/top output yesterday in the
morning and after the revert it's now 2 minutes in sum for the last 24h,
I would say, it's gone.
The intention of the patch in question was to compensate for the loss of
lumpy reclaim. Part of the reason lumpy reclaim worked is because it
aggressively reclaimed pages and this patch was meant to be a sane
compromise.
When compaction fails, it gets deferred and both compaction and
reclaim/compaction is deferred avoid excessive reclaim. However, since
commit c6543459 ("mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD"), kswapd is woken up each
time and continues reclaiming which was not taken into account when the
patch was developed.
As it is not taking deferred compaction into account in this path it scans
aggressively before falling out and making the compaction_deferred check
in compaction_ready. This patch avoids kswapd scaling pages for reclaim

mm: fix a regression with HIGHMEM
Changeset 7f1290f2f2 ("mm: fix-up zone present pages") tried to fix a
issue when calculating zone->present_pages, but it causes a regression to
32bit systems with HIGHMEM. With that changeset,
reset_zone_present_pages() resets all zone->present_pages to zero, and
fixup_zone_present_pages() is called to recalculate zone->present_pages
when the boot allocator frees core memory pages into the buddy allocator.
Because highmem pages are not freed by bootmem allocator, all highmem
zones' present_pages becomes zero.
Actually there's no need to recalculate present_pages for the highmem zone
because the bootmem allocator never allocates pages from it. So fix the
regression by skipping highmem in function reset_zone_present_pages() and
fixup_zone_present_pages().

doc: describe memcg swappiness more precisely
since fe35004f (mm: avoid swapping out with swappiness==0) memcg reclaim
stopped swapping out anon pages completely when 0 value is used.
Although this is somehow expected it hasn't been done for a really long
time this way and so it is probably better to be explicit about the
effect. Moreover global reclaim swapps out even when swappiness is 0
to prevent from OOM killer.
The original issue (a wrong tasks get killed in a small group and memcg
swappiness=0) has been reported on top of our 3.0 based kernel (with fe35004f backported). I have tried to replicate it by the test case
mentioned https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/10/223.
As David correctly pointed out (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/10/418) the
significant role played the fact that all the processes in the group have
CAP_SYS_ADMIN but oom_score_adj has the similar effect. Say there is 2G
of swap space which is 524288 pages. If you add CAP_SYS_ADMIN bonus then
you have -15728 score for the bias. This means that all tasks with less
than 60M get the minimum score and it is tasks ordering which determines
who gets killed as a result.
To summarize it. Users of small groups (relatively to the swap size) with
CAP_SYS_ADMIN tasks resp. oom_score_adj are affected the most others
might see an unexpected oom_badness calculation. Whether this is a
workload which is representative, I don't know but I think that it is
worth fixing and pushing to stable as well.

memcg: oom: fix totalpages calculation for memory.swappiness==0
oom_badness() takes a totalpages argument which says how many pages are
available and it uses it as a base for the score calculation. The value
is calculated by mem_cgroup_get_limit which considers both limit and
total_swap_pages (resp. memsw portion of it).
This is usually correct but since fe35004f ("mm: avoid swapping out with
swappiness==0") we do not swap when swappiness is 0 which means that we
cannot really use up all the totalpages pages. This in turn confuses oom
score calculation if the memcg limit is much smaller than the available
swap because the used memory (capped by the limit) is negligible comparing
to totalpages so the resulting score is too small if adj!=0 (typically
task with CAP_SYS_ADMIN or non zero oom_score_adj). A wrong process might
be selected as result.
The problem can be worked around by checking mem_cgroup_swappiness==0 and
not considering swap at all in such a case.

mm: fix build warning for uninitialized value
do_wp_page() sets mmun_called if mmun_start and mmun_end were initialized

mm/memory.c: In function `do_wp_page':

tmpfs: change final i_blocks BUG to WARNING
Under a particular load on one machine, I have hit shmem_evict_inode()'s
BUG_ON(inode->i_blocks), enough times to narrow it down to a particular
race between swapout and eviction.
It comes from the "if (freed > 0)" asymmetry in shmem_recalc_inode(), and
the lack of coherent locking between mapping's nrpages and shmem's swapped
count. There's a window in shmem_writepage(), between lowering nrpages in
shmem_delete_from_page_cache() and then raising swapped count, when the
freed count appears to be +1 when it should be 0, and then the asymmetry
stops it from being corrected with -1 before hitting the BUG.
One answer is coherent locking: using tree_lock throughout, without
info->lock; reasonable, but the raw_spin_lock in percpu_counter_add() on
used_blocks makes that messier than expected. Another answer may be a
further effort to eliminate the weird shmem_recalc_inode() altogether, but
previous attempts at that failed.
So far undecided, but for now change the BUG_ON to WARN_ON: in usual
circumstances it remains a useful consistency check.

Thanks to Johannes for pointing to truncation: free_swap_and_cache() only
does a trylock on the page, so the page lock we've held since before
confirming swap is not enough to protect against truncation.
What cleanup is needed in this case? Just delete_from_swap_cache(), which
takes care of the memcg uncharge.

epoll: support for disabling items, and a self-test app
Pending resolution of the issues identified by Michael Kerrisk, copied
below.
We'll revisit this for 3.8.
: I've taken a look at this patch as it currently stands in 3.7-rc1, and
: done a bit of testing. (By the way, the test program
: tools/testing/selftests/epoll/test_epoll.c does not compile...)
:
: There are one or two places where the behavior seems a little strange,
: so I have a question or two at the end of this mail. But other than
: that, I want to check my understanding so that the interface can be
: correctly documented.
:
: Just to go though my understanding, the problem is the following
: scenario in a multithreaded application:
:
: 1. Multiple threads are performing epoll_wait() operations,
: and maintaining a user-space cache that contains information
: corresponding to each file descriptor being monitored by
: epoll_wait().
:
: 2. At some point, a thread wants to delete (EPOLL_CTL_DEL)
: a file descriptor from the epoll interest list, and
: delete the corresponding record from the user-space cache.
:
: 3. The problem with (2) is that some other thread may have
: previously done an epoll_wait() that retrieved information
: about the fd in question, and may be in the middle of using
: information in the cache that relates to that fd. Thus,
: there is a potential race.
:
: 4. The race can't solved purely in user space, because doing
: so would require applying a mutex across the epoll_wait()
: call, which would of course blow thread concurrency.
:
: Right?
:
: Your solution is the EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE operation. I want to
: confirm my understanding about how to use this flag, since
: the description that has accompanied the patches so far
: has been a bit sparse
:
: 0. In the scenario you're concerned about, deleting a file
: descriptor means (safely) doing the following:
: (a) Deleting the file descriptor from the epoll interest list
: using EPOLL_CTL_DEL
: (b) Deleting the corresponding record in the user-space cache
:
: 1. It's only meaningful to use this EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE in
: conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT.
:
: 2. Using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE without using EPOLLONESHOT in
: conjunction is a logical error.
:
: 3. The correct way to code multithreaded applications using
: EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE and EPOLLONESHOT is as follows:
:
: a. All EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD operations should
: should EPOLLONESHOT.
:
: b. When a thread wants to delete a file descriptor, it
: should do the following:
:
: [1] Call epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE)
: [2] If the return status from epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE)
: was zero, then the file descriptor can be safely
: deleted by the thread that made this call.
: [3] If the epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY,
: then the descriptor is in use. In this case, the calling
: thread should set a flag in the user-space cache to
: indicate that the thread that is using the descriptor
: should perform the deletion operation.
:
: Is all of the above correct?
:
: The implementation depends on checking on whether
: (events & ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) == 0
: This replies on the fact that EPOLL_CTL_AD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD always
: set EPOLLHUP and EPOLLERR in the 'events' mask, and EPOLLONESHOT
: causes those flags (as well as all others in ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) to be
: cleared.
:
: A corollary to the previous paragraph is that using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE
: is only useful in conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT. However, as things
: stand, one can use EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE on a file descriptor that does
: not have EPOLLONESHOT set in 'events' This results in the following
: (slightly surprising) behavior:
:
: (a) The first call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) returns 0
: (the indicator that the file descriptor can be safely deleted).
: (b) The next call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY.
:
: This doesn't seem particularly useful, and in fact is probably an
: indication that the user made a logic error: they should only be using
: epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) on a file descriptor for which
: EPOLLONESHOT was set in 'events'. If that is correct, then would it
: not make sense to return an error to user space for this case?
