Memory compaction can be currently performed in several contexts:

 - kswapd balancing a zone after a high-order allocation failure
 - direct compaction to satisfy a high-order allocation, including THP
   page fault attemps
 - khugepaged trying to collapse a hugepage
 - manually from /proc

The purpose of compaction is two-fold.  The obvious purpose is to
satisfy a (pending or future) high-order allocation, and is easy to
evaluate.  The other purpose is to keep overal memory fragmentation low
and help the anti-fragmentation mechanism.  The success wrt the latter
purpose is more

The current situation wrt the purposes has a few drawbacks:

 - compaction is invoked only when a high-order page or hugepage is not
   available (or manually).  This might be too late for the purposes of
   keeping memory fragmentation low.
 - direct compaction increases latency of allocations.  Again, it would
   be better if compaction was performed asynchronously to keep
   fragmentation low, before the allocation itself comes.
 - (a special case of the previous) the cost of compaction during THP
   page faults can easily offset the benefits of THP.
 - kswapd compaction appears to be complex, fragile and not working in
   some scenarios.  It could also end up compacting for a high-order
   allocation request when it should be reclaiming memory for a later
   order-0 request.

To improve the situation, we should be able to benefit from an
equivalent of kswapd, but for compaction - i.e. a background thread
which responds to fragmentation and the need for high-order allocations
(including hugepages) somewhat proactively.

One possibility is to extend the responsibilities of kswapd, which could
however complicate its design too much.  It should be better to let
kswapd handle reclaim, as order-0 allocations are often more critical
than high-order ones.

Another possibility is to extend khugepaged, but this kthread is a
single instance and tied to THP configs.

This patch goes with the option of a new set of per-node kthreads called
kcompactd, and lays the foundations, without introducing any new
tunables.  The lifecycle mimics kswapd kthreads, including the memory
hotplug hooks.

For compaction, kcompactd uses the standard compaction_suitable() and
ompact_finished() criteria and the deferred compaction functionality.
Unlike direct compaction, it uses only sync compaction, as there's no
allocation latency to minimize.

This patch doesn't yet add a call to wakeup_kcompactd.  The kswapd
compact/reclaim loop for high-order pages will be replaced by waking up
kcompactd in the next patch with the description of what's wrong with
the old approach.

Waking up of the kcompactd threads is also tied to kswapd activity and
follows these rules:
 - we don't want to affect any fastpaths, so wake up kcompactd only from
   the slowpath, as it's done for kswapd
 - if kswapd is doing reclaim, it's more important than compaction, so
   don't invoke kcompactd until kswapd goes to sleep
 - the target order used for kswapd is passed to kcompactd

Future possible future uses for kcompactd include the ability to wake up
kcompactd on demand in special situations, such as when hugepages are
not available (currently not done due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD) or when a
fragmentation event (i.e.  __rmqueue_fallback()) occurs.  It's also
possible to perform periodic compaction with kcompactd.

During work on kcompactd integration I have spotted a confusing check of
balance_classzone_idx, which I believe is bogus.

The balanced_classzone_idx is filled by balance_pgdat() as the highest
zone it attempted to balance.  This was introduced by commit dc83edd9
("mm: kswapd: use the classzone idx that kswapd was using for
sleeping_prematurely()").

The intention is that (as expressed in today's function names), the
value used for kswapd_shrink_zone() calls in balance_pgdat() is the same
as for the decisions in kswapd_try_to_sleep().

An unwanted side-effect of that commit was breaking the checks in
kswapd() whether there was another kswapd_wakeup with a tighter (=lower)
classzone_idx.  Commits 215ddd66 ("mm: vmscan: only read
new_classzone_idx from pgdat when reclaiming successfully") and
d2ebd0f6 ("kswapd: avoid unnecessary rebalance after an unsuccessful
balancing") tried to fixed, but apparently introduced a bogus check that
this patch removes.

Consider zone indexes X < Y < Z, where:
- Z is the value used for the first kswapd wakeup.
- Y is returned as balanced_classzone_idx, which means zones with index higher
  than Y (including Z) were found to be unreclaimable.
- X is the value used for the second kswapd wakeup

The new wakeup with value X means that kswapd is now supposed to balance
harder all zones with index <= X.  But instead, due to Y < Z, it will go
sleep and won't read the new value X.  This is subtly wrong.

The effect of this patch is that kswapd will react better in some
situations, where e.g.  the first wakeup is for ZONE_DMA32, the second is
for ZONE_DMA, and due to unreclaimable ZONE_NORMAL.  Before this patch,
kswapd would go sleep instead of reclaiming ZONE_DMA harder.  I expect
these situations are very rare, and more value is in better
maintainability due to the removal of confusing and bogus check.

Currently /proc/kpageflags returns just KPF_COMPOUND_TAIL for slab tail

distributed (userspace always needs to check which kind of tail pages by
itself).  This patch sets KPF_SLAB for such pages.

With this patch:

  $ grep Slab /proc/meminfo ; tools/vm/page-types -b slab
  Slab:              64880 kB

Slab pages are charged in two steps.  First, an appropriate per memcg
cache is selected (see memcg_kmem_get_cache) basing on the current
context, then the new slab page is charged to the memory cgroup which
the selected cache was created for (see memcg_charge_slab ->
__memcg_kmem_charge_memcg).  It is OK to bypass kmemcg charge at step 1,
but if step 1 succeeded and we successfully allocated a new slab page,
step 2 must be performed, otherwise we would get a per memcg kmem cache
which contains a slab that does not hold a reference to the memory
cgroup owning the cache.  Since per memcg kmem caches are destroyed on
memcg css free, this could result in freeing a cache while there are
still active objects in it.

However, currently we will bypass slab page charge if the memory cgroup
owning the cache is offline (see __memcg_kmem_charge_memcg).  This is
very unlikely to occur in practice, because for this to happen a process
must be migrated to a different cgroup and the old cgroup must be
removed while the process is in kmalloc somewhere between steps 1 and 2
(e.g.  trying to allocate a new page).  Nevertheless, it's still better
to eliminate such a possibility.

When the OOM killer scans tasks and encounters a PF_EXITING one, it
force-selects that task regardless of the score.  The problem is that if
that task got stuck waiting for some state the allocation site is
holding, the OOM reaper can not move on to the next best victim.

Frankly, I don't even know why we check for exiting tasks in the OOM
killer.  We've tried direct reclaim at least 15 times by the time we
decide the system is OOM, there was plenty of time to exit and free
memory; and a task might exit voluntarily right after we issue a kill.
This is testing pure noise.  Remove it.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:

 - Asynchronous address range scrub:

     Given the capacities of next generation persistent memory devices a
     scrub operation to find all poison may take 10s of seconds.  We
     want this scrub work to be done asynchronously with the rest of
     system initialization, so we move it out of line from the NFIT
     probing, i.e. acpi_nfit_add().

 - Clear poison:

     ACPI 6.1 introduces the ability to send "clear error" commands to
     the ACPI0012:00 device representing the root of an "nvdimm bus".
     Similar to relocating a bad block on a disk, this support clears
     media errors in response to a write.

 - Persistent memory resource tracking:

     A persistent memory range may be designated as simply "reserved" by
     platform firmware in the efi/e820 memory map.  Later when the NFIT
     driver loads it discovers that the range is "Persistent Memory".

     The NFIT bus driver inserts a resource to advertise that
     "persistent" attribute in the system resource tree for /proc/iomem
     and kernel-internal usages.

 - Miscellaneous cleanups and fixes:

     Workaround section misaligned pmem ranges when allocating a struct
     page memmap, fix handling of the read-only case in the ioctl path,
     and clean up block device major number allocation.

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - Most attention this cycle went to optimizing blk-mq request-based DM
   (dm-mq) that is used exclussively by DM multipath:

     - A stable fix for dm-mq that eliminates excessive context
       switching offers the biggest performance improvement (for both
       IOPs and throughput).

     - But more work is needed, during the next cycle, to reduce
       spinlock contention in DM multipath on large NUMA systems.

 - A stable fix for a NULL pointer seen when DM stats is enabled on a DM
   multipath device that must requeue an IO due to path failure.

 - A stable fix for DM snapshot to disallow the COW and origin devices
   from being identical.  This amounts to graceful failure in the face
   of userspace error because these devices shouldn't ever be identical.

 - Stable fixes for DM cache and DM thin provisioning to address crashes
   seen if/when their respective metadata device experiences failures
   that cause the transition to 'fail_io' mode.

 - The DM cache 'mq' policy is now an alias for the 'smq' policy.  The
   'smq' policy proved to be consistently better than 'mq'.  As such
   'mq', with all its complex user-facing tunables, has been eliminated.

 - Improve DM thin provisioning to consistently return -ENOSPC once the
   thin-pool's data volume is out of space.

 - Improve DM core to properly handle error propagation if
   bio_integrity_clone() fails in clone_bio().

 - Other small cleanups and improvements to DM core.

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "This time the majority of changes go into cpufreq and they are
  significant.

  First off, the way CPU frequency updates are triggered is different
  now.  Instead of having to set up and manage a deferrable timer for
  each CPU in the system to evaluate and possibly change its frequency
  periodically, cpufreq governors set up callbacks to be invoked by the
  scheduler on a regular basis (basically on utilization updates).  The
  "old" governors, "ondemand" and "conservative", still do all of their
  work in process context (although that is triggered by the scheduler
  now), but intel_pstate does it all in the callback invoked by the
  scheduler with no need for any additional asynchronous processing.

  Of course, this eliminates the overhead related to the management of
  all those timers, but also it allows the cpufreq governor code to be
  simplified quite a bit.  On top of that, the common code and data
  structures used by the "ondemand" and "conservative" governors are
  cleaned up and made more straightforward and some long-standing and
  quite annoying problems are addressed.  In particular, the handling of
  governor sysfs attributes is modified and the related locking becomes
  more fine grained which allows some concurrency problems to be avoided
  (particularly deadlocks with the core cpufreq code).

  In principle, the new mechanism for triggering frequency updates
  allows utilization information to be passed from the scheduler to
  cpufreq.  Although the current code doesn't make use of it, in the
  works is a new cpufreq governor that will make decisions based on the
  scheduler's utilization data.  That should allow the scheduler and
  cpufreq to work more closely together in the long run.

  In addition to the core and governor changes, cpufreq drivers are
  updated too.  Fixes and optimizations go into intel_pstate, the
  cpufreq-dt driver is updated on top of some modification in the
  Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework and there are fixes and
  other updates in the powernv cpufreq driver.

  Apart from the cpufreq updates there is some new ACPICA material,
  including a fix for a problem introduced by previous ACPICA updates,
  and some less significant changes in the ACPI code, like CPPC code
  optimizations, ACPI processor driver cleanups and support for loading
  ACPI tables from initrd.

  Also updated are the generic power domains framework, the Intel RAPL
  power capping driver and the turbostat utility and we have a bunch of
  traditional assorted fixes and cleanups.

  Specifics:

   - Redesign of cpufreq governors and the intel_pstate driver to make
     them use callbacks invoked by the scheduler to trigger CPU
     frequency evaluation instead of using per-CPU deferrable timers for
     that purpose (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Reorganization and cleanup of cpufreq governor code to make it more
     straightforward and fix some concurrency problems in it (Rafael
     Wysocki, Viresh Kumar).

   - Cleanup and improvements of locking in the cpufreq core (Viresh
     Kumar).

   - Assorted cleanups in the cpufreq core (Rafael Wysocki, Viresh
     Kumar, Eric Biggers).

   - intel_pstate driver updates including fixes, optimizations and a
     modification to make it enable enable hardware-coordinated P-state
     selection (HWP) by default if supported by the processor (Philippe
     Longepe, Srinivas Pandruvada, Rafael Wysocki, Viresh Kumar, Felipe
     Franciosi).

   - Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework updates to improve its
     handling of voltage regulators and device clocks and updates of the
     cpufreq-dt driver on top of that (Viresh Kumar, Jon Hunter).

   - Updates of the powernv cpufreq driver to fix initialization and
     cleanup problems in it and correct its worker thread handling with
     respect to CPU offline, new powernv_throttle tracepoint (Shilpasri
     Bhat).

   - ACPI cpufreq driver optimization and cleanup (Rafael Wysocki).

   - ACPICA updates including one fix for a regression introduced by
     previos changes in the ACPICA code (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, David Box,
     Colin Ian King).

   - Support for installing ACPI tables from initrd (Lv Zheng).

   - Optimizations of the ACPI CPPC code (Prashanth Prakash, Ashwin
     Chaugule).

   - Support for _HID(ACPI0010) devices (ACPI processor containers) and
     ACPI processor driver cleanups (Sudeep Holla).

   - Support for ACPI-based enumeration of the AMBA bus (Graeme Gregory,
     Aleksey Makarov).

   - Modification of the ACPI PCI IRQ management code to make it treat
     255 in the Interrupt Line register as "not connected" on x86 (as
     per the specification) and avoid attempts to use that value as a
     valid interrupt vector (Chen Fan).

   - ACPI APEI fixes related to resource leaks (Josh Hunt).

   - Removal of modularity from a few ACPI drivers (BGRT, GHES,
     intel_pmic_crc) that cannot be built as modules in practice (Paul
     Gortmaker).

   - PNP framework update to make it treat ACPI_RESOURCE_TYPE_SERIAL_BUS
     as a valid resource type (Harb Abdulhamid).

   - New device ID (future AMD I2C controller) in the ACPI driver for
     AMD SoCs (APD) and in the designware I2C driver (Xiangliang Yu).

   - Assorted ACPI cleanups (Colin Ian King, Kaiyen Chang, Oleg Drokin).

   - cpuidle menu governor optimization to avoid a square root
     computation in it (Rasmus Villemoes).

   - Fix for potential use-after-free in the generic device properties
     framework (Heikki Krogerus).

   - Updates of the generic power domains (genpd) framework including
     support for multiple power states of a domain, fixes and debugfs
     output improvements (Axel Haslam, Jon Hunter, Laurent Pinchart,
     Geert Uytterhoeven).

   - Intel RAPL power capping driver updates to reduce IPI overhead in
     it (Jacob Pan).

   - System suspend/hibernation code cleanups (Eric Biggers, Saurabh
     Sengar).

   - Year 2038 fix for the process freezer (Abhilash Jindal).

   - turbostat utility updates including new features (decoding of more
     registers and CPUID fields, sub-second intervals support, GFX MHz
     and RC6 printout, --out command line option), fixes (syscall jitter
     detection and workaround, reductioin of the number of syscalls
     made, fixes related to Xeon x200 processors, compiler warning
     fixes) and cleanups (Len Brown, Hubert Chrzaniuk, Chen Yu)"

Pull regmap updates from Mark Brown:
 "This has been a very busy release for regmap, not just in cleaning up
  the mess we got ourselves into with the endianness handling but also
  in other areas too:

   - Fixes for the endianness handling so that we now explicitly default
     to little endian (the code used to do this by accident).  This
     fixes handling of explictly specified endianness on big endian
     systems.

   - Optimisation of the implementation of register striding.

   - A refectoring of the _update_bits() code to reduce duplication.

   - Fixes and enhancements for the interrupt implementation which make
     it easier to use in a wider range of systems"

     should in time allow us to support transforming messages to work
     around the limits of controllers or optimise the performance for
     controllers transparently to calling drivers.
