Complete zap_pte_range()'s coverage of bad pagetable entries by calling
print_bad_pte() on a pte_file in a linear vma and on a bad swap entry.
That needs free_swap_and_cache() to tell it, which will also have shown
one of those "swap_free" errors (but with much less information).
Similar checks in fork's copy_one_pte()? No, that would be more noisy
than helpful: we'll see them when parent and child exec or exit.
Where do_nonlinear_fault() calls print_bad_pte(): omit !VM_CAN_NONLINEAR
case, that could only be a bug in sys_remap_file_pages(), not a bad pte.
VM_FAULT_OOM rather than VM_FAULT_SIGBUS? Well, okay, that is consistent
with what happens if do_swap_page() operates a bad swap entry; but don't
we have patches to be more careful about killing when VM_FAULT_OOM?

Remove the srandom32((u32)get_seconds()) from non-rotational swapon:
there's been a coincidental discussion of earlier randomization, assume
that goes ahead, let swapon be a client rather than stirring for itself.

Change pgoff_t nr_blocks in discard_swap() and discard_swap_cluster() to
sector_t: given the constraints on swap offsets (in particular, the 5 bits
of swap type accommodated in the same unsigned long), pgoff_t was actually
safe as is, but it certainly looked worrying when shifted left.

Though attempting to find free clusters (Andrea), swap allocation has
always restarted its searches from the beginning of the swap area (sct),
to reduce seek times between swap pages, by not scattering them all over
the partition.
But on a solidstate swap device, seeks are cheap, and block remapping to
level the wear may be limited by zones: in that case it's better to cycle
around the whole partition.

Swap allocation has always started from the beginning of the swap area;
but if we're dealing with a solidstate swap device which can only remap
blocks within limited zones, that would sooner wear out the first zone.
Therefore sys_swapon() test whether blk_queue is non-rotational, and if so
randomize the cluster_next starting position for allocation.
If blk_queue is nonrot, note SWP_SOLIDSTATE for later use, and report it
with an "SS" at the right end of the kernel's "Adding ... swap" message
(so that if it's both nonrot and discardable, "SSD" will be shown there).
Perhaps something should be shown in /proc/swaps (swapon -s), but we have
to be more cautious before making any addition to that format.

When scan_swap_map() finds a free cluster of swap pages to allocate,
discard the old contents of the cluster if the device supports discard.
But don't bother when swap is so fragmented that we allocate single pages.
Be careful about racing allocations made while we're scanning for a
cluster; and hold up allocations made while we're discarding.

When adding swap, all the old data on swap can be forgotten: sys_swapon()
discard all but the header page of the swap partition (or every extent but
the header of the swap file), to give a solidstate swap device the
opportunity to optimize its wear-levelling.
If that succeeds, note SWP_DISCARDABLE for later use, and report it with a
"D" at the right end of the kernel's "Adding ... swap" message. Perhaps
something should be shown in /proc/swaps (swapon -s), but we have to be
more cautious before making any addition to that format.

Before making functional changes, rearrange scan_swap_map() to simplify
subsequent diffs. Actually, there is one functional change in there:
leave cluster_nr negative while scanning for a new cluster - resetting it
early increased the likelihood that when we have difficulty finding a free
cluster, another task may come in and try doing exactly the same - just a
waste of cpu.
Before making functional changes, rearrange struct swap_info_struct
slightly: flags will be needed as an unsigned long (for wait_on_bit), next
is a good int to pair with prio, old_block_size is uninteresting so shift
it to the end.

The kernel has not supported v0 SWAP-SPACE since 2.5.22: I think we can
now safely drop its "version 0 swap is no longer supported" message - just
say "Unable to find swap-space signature" as usual. This removes one
level of indentation from a stretch of sys_swapon().
I'd have liked to be specific, saying "Unable to find SWAPSPACE2
signature", but it's just too confusing that the version 1 signature shows
the number 2.
Irrelevant nearby cleanup: kmap(page) already gives page_address(page).

There's a possible race in try_to_unuse() which Nick Piggin led me to two
years ago. Where it does lock_page() after read_swap_cache_async(), what
if another task removed that page from swapcache just before we locked it?
It would sail though the (*swap_map > 1) tests doing nothing (because it
could not have been removed from swapcache before its swap references were
gone), until it reaches the delete_from_swap_cache(page) near the bottom.
Now imagine that this page has been allocated to swap on a different swap
area while we dropped page lock (perhaps at the top, perhaps in unuse_mm):
we could wrongly remove from swap cache before the page has been written
to swap, so a subsequent do_swap_page() would read in stale data from
swap.
I think this case could not happen before: remove_exclusive_swap_page()
refused while page count was raised. But now with reuse_swap_page() and
try_to_free_swap() removing from swap cache without minding page count, I
think it could happen - the previous patch argued that it was safe because
try_to_unuse() already ignored page count, but overlooked that it might be
breaking the assumptions in try_to_unuse() itself.

remove_exclusive_swap_page(): its problem is in living up to its name.
It doesn't matter if someone else has a reference to the page (raised
page_count); it doesn't matter if the page is mapped into userspace
(raised page_mapcount - though that hints it may be worth keeping the
swap): all that matters is that there be no more references to the swap
(and no writeback in progress).
swapoff (try_to_unuse) has been removing pages from swapcache for years,
with no concern for page count or page mapcount, and we used to have a
comment in lookup_swap_cache() recognizing that: if you go for a page of
swapcache, you'll get the right page, but it could have been removed from
swapcache by the time you get page lock.
So, give up asking for exclusivity: get rid of
remove_exclusive_swap_page(), and remove_exclusive_swap_page_ref() and
remove_exclusive_swap_page_count() which were spawned for the recent LRU
work: replace them by the simpler try_to_free_swap() which just checks
page_swapcount().
Similarly, remove the page_count limitation from free_swap_and_count(),
but assume that it's worth holding on to the swap if page is mapped and
swap nowhere near full. Add a vm_swap_full() test in free_swap_cache()?
It would be consistent, but I think we probably have enough for now.

A good place to free up old swap is where do_wp_page(), or do_swap_page(),
is about to redirty the page: the data on disk is then stale and won't be
read again; and if we do decide to write the page out later, using the
previous swap location makes an unnecessary disk seek very likely.
So give can_share_swap_page() the side-effect of delete_from_swap_cache()
when it safely can. And can_share_swap_page() was always a misleading
name, the more so if it has a side-effect: rename it reuse_swap_page().
Irrelevant cleanup nearby: remove swap_token_default_timeout definition
from swap.h: it's used nowhere.

The swap code is over-provisioned with BUG_ONs on assorted page flags,
mostly dating back to 2.3. They're good documentation, and guard against
developer error, but a waste of space on most systems: change them to
VM_BUG_ONs, conditional on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM. Just delete the PagePrivate
ones: they're later, from 2.5.69, but even less interesting now.

Impact: cleanup, code robustization
The __swp_...() macros silently relied upon which bits are used for
_PAGE_FILE and _PAGE_PROTNONE. After having changed _PAGE_PROTNONE in
our Xen kernel to no longer overlap _PAGE_PAT, live locks and crashes
were reported that could have been avoided if these macros properly
used the symbolic constants. Since, as pointed out earlier, for Xen
Dom0 support mainline likewise will need to eliminate the conflict
between _PAGE_PAT and _PAGE_PROTNONE, this patch does all the necessary
adjustments, plus it introduces a mechanism to check consistency
between MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT and the actual encoding macros.
This also fixes a latent bug in that x86-64 used a 6-bit mask in
__swp_type(), and if MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT was increased beyond 5 in (the
seemingly unrelated) linux/swap.h, this would have resulted in a
collision with _PAGE_FILE.
Non-PAE 32-bit code gets similarly adjusted for its pte_to_pgoff() and
pgoff_to_pte() calculations.

Vegard Nossum has noticed the ever-decreasing negative priority in a
swapon /swapoff loop, which eventually would misprioritize when int wraps
positive. Not worth spending much code on, but probably better fixed.
It's easy to handle the swapping on and off of just one area, but there's
not much point if a pair or more still misbehave. To handle the general
case, swapoff should compact negative priorities, keeping them always from
-1 to -MAX_SWAPFILES. That's a change, but should cause no regression,
since these negative (unspecified) priorities are disjoint from the the
positive specified priorities 0 to 32767.
One small functional difference, which seems appropriate: when swapoff
fails to free all swap from a negative priority area, that area is now
reinserted at lowest priority, rather than at its original priority.
In moving down swapon's setting of priority, I notice that an area is
visible to /proc/swaps when it has swap_map set, yet that was being set
before all the visible fields were properly filled in: corrected.

Nick Piggin pointed out that swap cache and page cache addition routines
could be called from non GFP_KERNEL contexts. This patch makes the
charging routine aware of the gfp context. Charging might fail if the
cgroup is over it's limit, in which case a suitable error is returned.
This patch was tested on a Powerpc box. I am still looking at being able
to test the path, through which allocations happen in non GFP_KERNEL
contexts.

Add the accounting hooks. The accounting is carried out for RSS and Page
Cache (unmapped) pages. There is now a common limit and accounting for both.
The RSS accounting is accounted at page_add_*_rmap() and page_remove_rmap()
time. Page cache is accounted at add_to_page_cache(),
__delete_from_page_cache(). Swap cache is also accounted for.
Each page's page_cgroup is protected with the last bit of the
page_cgroup pointer, this makes handling of race conditions involving
simultaneous mappings of a page easier. A reference count is kept in the
page_cgroup to deal with cases where a page might be unmapped from the RSS

This patch precisely reverts the "swapoff: scan ptes preemptibly" patch
just presented. It's a temporary measure to allow existing memory
controller patches to apply without rejects: in due course they should be
rendered down into one sensible patch, and this reversion disappear.

There are a couple of reasons (patches follow) why it would be good to open a
window for sleep in shmem_unuse_inode, between its search for a matching swap
entry, and its handling of the entry found.
shmem_unuse_inode must then use igrab to hold the inode against deletion in
that window, and its corresponding iput might result in deletion: so it had
better unlock_page before the iput, and might as well release the page too.
Nor is there any need to hold on to shmem_swaplist_mutex once we know we'll
leave the loop. So this unwinding moves from try_to_unuse and shmem_unuse
into shmem_unuse_inode, in the case when it finds a match.
Let try_to_unuse break on error in the shmem_unuse case, as it does in the
unuse_mm case: though at this point in the series, no error to break on.

Provided that CONFIG_HIGHPTE is not set, unuse_pte_range can reduce latency
in swapoff by scanning the page table preemptibly: so long as unuse_pte is
careful to recheck that entry under pte lock.
(To tell the truth, this patch was not inspired by any cries for lower
latency here: rather, this restructuring permits a future memory controller
patch to allocate with GFP_KERNEL in unuse_pte, where before it could not.
But it would be wrong to tuck this change away inside a memcgroup patch.)

valid_swaphandles is supposed to do a quick pass over the swap map entries
neigbouring the entry which swapin_readahead is targetting, to determine for
it a range worth reading all together. But since it always starts its search
from the beginning of the swap "cluster", a reject (free entry) there
immediately curtails the readaround, and every swapin_readahead from that
cluster is for just a single page. Instead scan forwards and backwards around
the target entry.
Use better names for some variables: a swap_info pointer is usually called
"si" not "swapdev". And at the end, if only the target page should be read,
return count of 0 to disable readaround, to avoid the unnecessarily repeated
call to read_swap_cache_async.

Building in a filesystem on a loop device on a tmpfs file can hang when
swapping, the loop thread caught in that infamous throttle_vm_writeout.
In theory this is a long standing problem, which I've either never seen in
practice, or long ago suppressed the recollection, after discounting my load
and my tmpfs size as unrealistically high. But now, with the new aops, it has
become easy to hang on one machine.
Loop used to grab_cache_page before the old prepare_write to tmpfs, which
seems to have been enough to free up some memory for any swapin needed; but
the new write_begin lets tmpfs find or allocate the page (much nicer, since
grab_cache_page missed tmpfs pages in swapcache).
When allocating a fresh page, tmpfs respects loop's mapping_gfp_mask, which
has __GFP_IO|__GFP_FS stripped off, and throttle_vm_writeout is designed to
break out when __GFP_IO or GFP_FS is unset; but when tmfps swaps in,
read_swap_cache_async allocates with GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE regardless of the
mapping_gfp_mask - hence the hang.
So, pass gfp_mask down the line from shmem_getpage to shmem_swapin to
swapin_readahead to read_swap_cache_async to add_to_swap_cache.

Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows
us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls.
I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7
possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in
ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in
block2mtd. All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return
with a !uptodate page.

In the kernels later than 2.6.19 there is a regression that makes swsusp
fail if the resume device is not explicitly specified.
It can be fixed by adding an additional parameter to
mm/swapfile.c:swap_type_of() allowing us to pass the (struct block_device
*) corresponding to the first available swap back to the caller.

Make swsusp use block device offsets instead of swap offsets to identify swap
locations and make it use the same code paths for writing as well as for
reading data.
This allows us to use the same code for handling swap files and swap
partitions and to simplify the code, eg. by dropping rw_swap_page_sync().

The Linux kernel handles swap files almost in the same way as it handles swap
partitions and there are only two differences between these two types of swap
areas:
(1) swap files need not be contiguous,
(2) the header of a swap file is not in the first block of the partition
that holds it. From the swsusp's point of view (1) is not a problem,
because it is already taken care of by the swap-handling code, but (2) has
to be taken into consideration.
In principle the location of a swap file's header may be determined with the
help of appropriate filesystem driver. Unfortunately, however, it requires
the filesystem holding the swap file to be mounted, and if this filesystem is
journaled, it cannot be mounted during a resume from disk. For this reason we
need some other means by which swap areas can be identified.
For example, to identify a swap area we can use the partition that holds the
area and the offset from the beginning of this partition at which the swap
header is located.
The following patch allows swsusp to identify swap areas this way. It changes
swap_type_of() so that it takes an additional argument representing an offset
of the swap header within the partition represented by its first argument.

The fsfuzzer found this; with a corrupt small swapfile that claims to have
many pages:
[root]# file swap.741.img
swap.741.img: Linux/i386 swap file (new style) 1 (4K pages) size 1040191487 pages
[root]# ls -l swap.741.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16777216 Nov 22 05:18 swap.741.img
sys_swapon() will try to vmalloc all those pages, and -then- check to see if
the file is actually that large:
if (!(p->swap_map = vmalloc(maxpages * sizeof(short)))) {
<snip>
if (swapfilesize && maxpages > swapfilesize) {
printk(KERN_WARNING
"Swap area shorter than signature indicates\n");
It seems to me that it would make more sense to move this test up before
the vmalloc, with the other checks, to avoid the OOM-killer in this
situation...

It would be possible for /proc/swaps to not always print out the header:
swapon /dev/hdc2
swapon /dev/hde2
swapoff /dev/hdc2

akpm draws my attention to the fact that sysctl(VM_PAGE_CLUSTER) might
conceivably change page_cluster to 0 while valid_swaphandles() is in the
middle of using it, leading to an embarrassingly long loop: take a local
snapshot of page_cluster and work with that.
