Presently the oom-killer is memcg aware and it finds the worst process
from processes under memcg(s) in oom. Then, it kills victim's child
first.
It may kill a child in another cgroup and may not be any help for
recovery. And it will break the assumption users have.
This patch fixes it.

We incorrectly depended on the 'node_state/node_isset()' functions
testing the node range, rather than checking it explicitly. That's not
reliable, even if it might often happen to work. So do the proper
explicit test.

The cache alias problem will happen if the changes of user shared mapping
is not flushed before copying, then user and kernel mapping may be mapped
into two different cache line, it is impossible to guarantee the coherence
after iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic. So the right steps should be:
flush_dcache_page(page);
kmap_atomic(page);
write to page;
kunmap_atomic(page);
flush_dcache_page(page);
More precisely, we might create two new APIs flush_dcache_user_page and
flush_dcache_kern_page to replace the two flush_dcache_page accordingly.
Here is a snippet tested on omap2430 with VIPT cache, and I think it is
not ARM-specific:
int val = 0x11111111;
fd = open("abc", O_RDWR);
addr = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
*(addr+0) = 0x44444444;
tmp = *(addr+0);
*(addr+1) = 0x77777777;
write(fd, &val, sizeof(int));
close(fd);
The results are not always 0x11111111 0x77777777 at the beginning as expected. Sometimes we see 0x44444444 0x77777777.

Improve handling of fragmented per-CPU vmaps. We previously don't free
up per-CPU maps until all its addresses have been used and freed. So
fragmented blocks could fill up vmalloc space even if they actually had
no active vmap regions within them.
Add some logic to allow all CPUs to have these blocks purged in the case
of failure to allocate a new vm area, and also put some logic to trim
such blocks of a current CPU if we hit them in the allocation path (so
as to avoid a large build up of them).
Christoph reported some vmap allocation failures when using the per CPU
vmap APIs in XFS, which cannot be reproduced after this patch and the
previous bug fix.

RCU list walking of the per-cpu vmap cache was broken. It did not use
RCU primitives, and also the union of free_list and rcu_head is
obviously wrong (because free_list is indeed the list we are RCU
walking).
While we are there, remove a couple of unused fields from an earlier
iteration.
These APIs aren't actually used anywhere, because of problems with the
XFS conversion. Christoph has now verified that the problems are solved
with these patches. Also it is an exported interface, so I think it
will be good to be merged now (and Christoph wants to get the XFS
changes into their local tree).

After memory pressure has forced it to dip into the reserves, 2.6.32's
5f8dcc21211a3d4e3a7a5ca366b469fb88117f61 "page-allocator: split per-cpu
list into one-list-per-migrate-type" has been returning MIGRATE_RESERVE
pages to the MIGRATE_MOVABLE free_list: in some sense depleting reserves.
Fix that in the most straightforward way (which, considering the overheads
of alternative approaches, is Mel's preference): the right migratetype is
already in page_private(page), but free_pcppages_bulk() wasn't using it.
How did this bug show up? As a 20% slowdown in my tmpfs loop kbuild
swapping tests, on PowerMac G5 with SLUB allocator. Bisecting to that
commit was easy, but explaining the magnitude of the slowdown not easy.
The same effect appears, but much less markedly, with SLAB, and even
less markedly on other machines (the PowerMac divides into fewer zones
than x86, I think that may be a factor). We guess that lumpy reclaim
of short-lived high-order pages is implicated in some way, and probably
this bug has been tickling a poor decision somewhere in page reclaim.
But instrumentation hasn't told me much, I've run out of time and
imagination to determine exactly what's going on, and shouldn't hold up
the fix any longer: it's valid, and might even fix other misbehaviours.

It's a simplified 'read_cache_page()' which takes a page allocation
flag, so that different paths can control how aggressive the memory
allocations are that populate a address space.
In particular, the intel GPU object mapping code wants to be able to do
a certain amount of own internal memory management by automatically
shrinking the address space when memory starts getting tight. This
allows it to dynamically use different memory allocation policies on a
per-allocation basis, rather than depend on the (static) address space
gfp policy.
The actual new function is a one-liner, but re-organizing the helper
functions to the point where you can do this with a single line of code
is what most of the patch is all about.

In free_unmap_area_noflush(), va->flags is marked as VM_LAZY_FREE first, and
then vmap_lazy_nr is increased atomically.
But, in __purge_vmap_area_lazy(), while traversing of vmap_are_list, nr
is counted by checking VM_LAZY_FREE is set to va->flags. After counting
the variable nr, kernel reads vmap_lazy_nr atomically and checks a
BUG_ON condition whether nr is greater than vmap_lazy_nr to prevent
vmap_lazy_nr from being negative.
The problem is that, if interrupted right after marking VM_LAZY_FREE,
increment of vmap_lazy_nr can be delayed. Consequently, BUG_ON
condition can be met because nr is counted more than vmap_lazy_nr.
It is highly probable when vmalloc/vfree are called frequently. This
scenario have been verified by adding delay between marking VM_LAZY_FREE
and increasing vmap_lazy_nr in free_unmap_area_noflush().
Even the vmap_lazy_nr is for checking high watermark, it never be the
strict watermark. Although the BUG_ON condition is to prevent
vmap_lazy_nr from being negative, vmap_lazy_nr is signed variable. So,
it could go down to negative value temporarily.
Consequently, removing the BUG_ON condition is proper.
A possible BUG_ON message is like the below.

Fix a problem in NOMMU mmap with ramfs whereby a shared mmap can happen
over the end of a truncation. The problem is that
ramfs_nommu_check_mappings() checks that the reduced file size against the
VMA tree, but not the vm_region tree.
The following sequence of events can cause the problem:
fd = open("/tmp/x", O_RDWR|O_TRUNC|O_CREAT, 0600);
ftruncate(fd, 32 * 1024);
a = mmap(NULL, 32 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
b = mmap(NULL, 16 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
munmap(a, 32 * 1024);
ftruncate(fd, 16 * 1024);
c = mmap(NULL, 32 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
Mapping 'a' creates a vm_region covering 32KB of the file. Mapping 'b'
sees that the vm_region from 'a' is covering the region it wants and so
shares it, pinning it in memory.
Mapping 'a' then goes away and the file is truncated to the end of VMA
'b'. However, the region allocated by 'a' is still in effect, and has
_not_ been reduced.
Mapping 'c' is then created, and because there's a vm_region covering the
desired region, get_unmapped_area() is _not_ called to repeat the check,
and the mapping is granted, even though the pages from the latter half of
the mapping have been discarded.
However:
d = mmap(NULL, 16 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
Mapping 'd' should work, and should end up sharing the region allocated by
'a'.
To deal with this, we shrink the vm_region struct during the truncation,
lest do_mmap_pgoff() take it as licence to share the full region
automatically without calling the get_unmapped_area() file op again.

In split_vma(), there's no need to check if the VMA being split has a
region that's in use by more than one VMA because:
(1) The preceding test prohibits splitting of non-anonymous VMAs and regions
(eg: file or chardev backed VMAs).
(2) Anonymous regions can't be mapped multiple times because there's no handle
by which to refer to the already existing region.
(3) If a VMA has previously been split, then the region backing it has also
been split into two regions, each of usage 1.

Current mem_cgroup_force_empty() only ensures mem->res.usage == 0 on
success. But this doesn't guarantee memcg's LRU is really empty, because
there are some cases in which !PageCgrupUsed pages exist on memcg's LRU.
For example:
- Pages can be uncharged by its owner process while they are on LRU.
- race between mem_cgroup_add_lru_list() and __mem_cgroup_uncharge_common().
So there can be a case in which the usage is zero but some of the LRUs are not empty.
OTOH, mem_cgroup_del_lru_list(), which can be called asynchronously with
rmdir, accesses the mem_cgroup, so this access can cause a problem if it
races with rmdir because the mem_cgroup might have been freed by rmdir.
Actually, I saw a bug which seems to be caused by this race.

[1530745.950651] Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!
The problem here is pages on LRU may contain pointer to stale memcg. To
make res->usage to be 0, all pages on memcg must be uncharged or moved to
another(parent) memcg. Moved page_cgroup have already removed from
original LRU, but uncharged page_cgroup contains pointer to memcg withou
PCG_USED bit. (This asynchronous LRU work is for improving performance.)
If PCG_USED bit is not set, page_cgroup will never be added to memcg's
LRU. So, about pages not on LRU, they never access stale pointer. Then,
what we have to take care of is page_cgroup _on_ LRU list. This patch
fixes this problem by making mem_cgroup_force_empty() visit all LRUs
before exiting its loop and guarantee there are no pages on its LRU.

running on a single-CPU system. If all zones are unreclaimble,
sleeping_prematurely return 1 and kswapd will call balance_pgdat() again.
but it's totally meaningless, balance_pgdat() doesn't anything against

If __block_prepare_write() was failed in block_write_begin(), the
allocated blocks can be outside of ->i_size.
But new truncate_pagecache() in vmtuncate() does nothing if new < old.
It means the above usage is not working anymore.
So, this patch fixes it by removing "new < old" check. It would need
more cleanup/change. But, now -rc and truncate working is in progress,
so, this tried to fix it minimum change.

The MMU code uses the copy_*_user_page() variants in access_process_vm()
rather than copy_*_user() as the former includes an icache flush. This
is important when doing things like setting software breakpoints with
gdb. So switch the NOMMU code over to do the same.
This patch makes the reasonable assumption that copy_from_user_page()
won't fail - which is probably fine, as we've checked the VMA from which
we're copying is usable, and the copy is not allowed to cross VMAs. The
one case where it might go wrong is if the VMA is a device rather than
RAM, and that device returns an error which - in which case rubbish will
be returned rather than EIO.

When working with FDPIC, there are many shared mappings of read-only
code regions between applications (the C library, applet packages like
busybox, etc.), but the current do_mmap_pgoff() function will issue an
icache flush whenever a VMA is added to an MM instead of only doing it
when the map is initially created.
The flush can instead be done when a region is first mmapped PROT_EXEC.
Note that we may not rely on the first mapping of a region being
executable - it's possible for it to be PROT_READ only, so we have to
remember whether we've flushed the region or not, and then flush the
entire region when a bit of it is made executable.
However, this also affects the brk area. That will no longer be
executable. We can mprotect() it to PROT_EXEC on MPU-mode kernels, but
for NOMMU mode kernels, when it increases the brk allocation, making
sys_brk() flush the extra from the icache should suffice. The brk area
probably isn't used by NOMMU programs since the brk area can only use up
the leavings from the stack allocation, where the stack allocation is
larger than requested.

We previously had 2 quicklists, one for the PGD case and one for PTEs.
Now that the PGD/PMD cases are handled through slab caches due to the
multi-level configurability, only the PTE quicklist remains. As such,
reduce NR_QUICK to its appropriate size and bump down the PTE quicklist
index.

Move sys_mmap_pgoff() from mm/util.c to mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c,
where we'd expect to find such code: especially now that it contains
the MAP_HUGETLB handling. Revert mm/util.c to how it was in 2.6.32.
This patch just ignores MAP_HUGETLB in the nommu case, as in 2.6.32,
whereas 2.6.33-rc2 reported -ENOSYS. Perhaps validate_mmap_request()
should reject it with -EINVAL? Add that later if necessary.

Memory balloon drivers can allocate a large amount of memory which is not
movable but could be freed to accomodate memory hotplug remove.
Prior to calling the memory hotplug notifier chain the memory in the
pageblock is isolated. Currently, if the migrate type is not
MIGRATE_MOVABLE the isolation will not proceed, causing the memory removal
for that page range to fail.
Rather than failing pageblock isolation if the migrateteype is not
MIGRATE_MOVABLE, this patch checks if all of the pages in the pageblock,
and not on the LRU, are owned by a registered balloon driver (or other
entity) using a notifier chain. If all of the non-movable pages are owned
by a balloon, they can be freed later through the memory notifier chain
and the range can still be isolated in set_migratetype_isolate().

I added blk_run_backing_dev on page_cache_async_readahead so readahead I/O
is unpluged to improve throughput on especially RAID environment.
The normal case is, if page N become uptodate at time T(N), then T(N) <=
T(N+1) holds. With RAID (and NFS to some degree), there is no strict
ordering, the data arrival time depends on runtime status of individual
disks, which breaks that formula. So in do_generic_file_read(), just
after submitting the async readahead IO request, the current page may well
be uptodate, so the page won't be locked, and the block device won't be
implicitly unplugged:
if (PageReadahead(page))
page_cache_async_readahead()
if (!PageUptodate(page))
goto page_not_up_to_date;
//...
page_not_up_to_date:
lock_page_killable(page);
Therefore explicit unplugging can help.
Following is the test result with dd.
