Currently kernel prints out results of every single unpoison event, which i= s not necessary because unpoison is purely a testing feature and testers can = get little or no information from lots of lines of unpoison log storm. So this patch ratelimits printk in unpoison_memory(). This patch introduces a file local ratelimit_state, which adds 64 bytes to memory-failure.o. If we apply pr_info_ratelimited() for 8 callsite below, 2= 56 bytes is added, so it's a win. Signed-off-by:

filemap_fdatawait() is a function to wait for on-going writeback to complete but also consume and clear error status of the mapping set during writeback. The latter functionality is critical for applications to detect writeback error with system calls like fsync(2)/fdatasync(2). However filemap_fdatawait() is also used by sync(2) or FIFREEZE ioctl, which don't check error status of individual mappings. As a result, fsync() may not be able to detect writeback error if events happen in the following order: Application System admin ---------------------------------------------------------- write data on page cache Run sync command writeback completes with error filemap_fdatawait() clears error fsync returns success (but the data is not on disk) This patch adds filemap_fdatawait_keep_errors() for call sites where writeback error is not handled so that they don't clear error status.

Currently there's no easy way to get per-process usage of hugetlb pages, which is inconvenient because userspace applications which use hugetlb typically want to control their processes on the basis of how much memory (including hugetlb) they use. So this patch simply provides easy access to the info via /proc/PID/status. Signed-off-by:

Maximal readahead size is limited now by two values: 1) by global 2Mb constant (MAX_READAHEAD in max_sane_readahead()) 2) by configurable per-device value* (bdi->ra_pages) There are devices, which require custom readahead limit. For instance, for RAIDs it's calculated as number of devices multiplied by chunk size times 2. Readahead size can never be larger than bdi->ra_pages * 2 value (POSIX_FADV_SEQUNTIAL doubles readahead size). If so, why do we need two limits? I suggest to completely remove this max_sane_readahead() stuff and use per-device readahead limit everywhere. Also, using right readahead size for RAID disks can significantly increase i/o performance: before: dd if=/dev/md2 of=/dev/null bs=100M count=100 100+0 records in 100+0 records out 10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 12.9741 s, 808 MB/s after: $ dd if=/dev/md2 of=/dev/null bs=100M count=100 100+0 records in 100+0 records out 10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 8.91317 s, 1.2 GB/s (It's an 8-disks RAID5 storage). This patch doesn't change sys_readahead and madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) behavior introduced by 6d2be915 ("mm/readahead.c: fix readahead failure for memoryless NUMA nodes and limit readahead pages").

Commit a2f3aa02 ("[PATCH] Fix sparsemem on Cell") fixed an oops experienced on the Cell architecture when init-time functions, early_*(), are called at runtime by introducing an 'enum memmap_context' parameter to memmap_init_zone() and init_currently_empty_zone(). This parameter is intended to be used to tell whether the call of these two functions is being made on behalf of a hotplug event, or happening at boot-time. However, init_currently_empty_zone() does not use this parameter at all, so remove it. Signed-off-by:

With the setup_nr_nodes(), we have already initialized node_possible_map. So it is safe to use for_each_node here. There are many places in the kernel that use hardcoded 'for' loop with nr_node_ids, because all other architectures have numa nodes populated serially. That should be reason we had maintained the same for powerpc. But, since sparse numa node ids possible on powerpc, we unnecessarily allocate memory for non existent numa nodes. For e.g., on a system with 0,1,16,17 as numa nodes nr_node_ids=18 and we allocate memory for nodes 2-14. This patch we allocate memory for only existing numa nodes. The patch is boot tested on a 4 node tuleta, confirming with printks that it works as expected. Signed-off-by:

The functions used in the patch are in slowpath, which gets called whenever alloc_super is called during mounts. Though this should not make difference for the architectures with sequential numa node ids, for the powerpc which can potentially have sparse node ids (for e.g., 4 node system having numa ids, 0,1,16,17 is common), this patch saves some unnecessary allocations for non existing numa nodes. Even without that saving, perhaps patch makes code more readable. [vdavydov@parallels.com: take memcg_aware check outside for_each loop] Signed-off-by:

__memcg_kmem_bypass() decides whether a kmem allocation should be bypassed to the root memcg. Some conditions that it tests are valid criteria regarding who should be held accountable; however, there are a couple unnecessary tests for cold paths - __GFP_FAIL and fatal_signal_pending(). The previous patch updated try_charge() to handle both __GFP_FAIL and dying tasks correctly and the only thing these two tests are doing is making accounting less accurate and sprinkling tests for cold path conditions in the hot paths. There's nothing meaningful gained by these extra tests. This patch removes the two unnecessary tests from __memcg_kmem_bypass(). Signed-off-by:

try_charge() is the main charging logic of memcg. When it hits the limit but either can't fail the allocation due to __GFP_NOFAIL or the task is likely to free memory very soon, being OOM killed, has SIGKILL pending or exiting, it "bypasses" the charge to the root memcg and returns -EINTR. While this is one approach which can be taken for these situations, it has several issues. * It unnecessarily lies about the reality. The number itself doesn't go over the limit but the actual usage does. memcg is either forced to or actively chooses to go over the limit because that is the right behavior under the circumstances, which is completely fine, but, if at all avoidable, it shouldn't be misrepresenting what's happening by sneaking the charges into the root memcg. * Despite trying, we already do over-charge. kmemcg can't deal with switching over to the root memcg by the point try_charge() returns -EINTR, so it open-codes over-charing. * It complicates the callers. Each try_charge() user has to handle the weird -EINTR exception. memcg_charge_kmem() does the manual over-charging. mem_cgroup_do_precharge() performs unnecessary uncharging of root memcg, which BTW is inconsistent with what memcg_charge_kmem() does but not broken as [un]charging are noops on root memcg. mem_cgroup_try_charge() needs to switch the returned cgroup to the root one. The reality is that in memcg there are cases where we are forced and/or willing to go over the limit. Each such case needs to be scrutinized and justified but there definitely are situations where that is the right thing to do. We alredy do this but with a superficial and inconsistent disguise which leads to unnecessary complications. This patch updates try_charge() so that it over-charges and returns 0 when deemed necessary. -EINTR return is removed along with all special case handling in the callers. While at it, remove the local variable @ret, which was initialized to zero and never changed, along with done: label which just returned the always zero @ret. Signed-off-by:

Currently, try_charge() tries to reclaim memory synchronously when the high limit is breached; however, if the allocation doesn't have __GFP_WAIT, synchronous reclaim is skipped. If a process performs only speculative allocations, it can blow way past the high limit. This is actually easily reproducible by simply doing "find /". slab/slub allocator tries speculative allocations first, so as long as there's memory which can be consumed without blocking, it can keep allocating memory regardless of the high limit. This patch makes try_charge() always punt the over-high reclaim to the return-to-userland path. If try_charge() detects that high limit is breached, it adds the overage to current->memcg_nr_pages_over_high and schedules execution of mem_cgroup_handle_over_high() which performs synchronous reclaim from the return-to-userland path. As long as kernel doesn't have a run-away allocation spree, this should provide enough protection while making kmemcg behave more consistently. It also has the following benefits. - All over-high reclaims can use GFP_KERNEL regardless of the specific gfp mask in use, e.g. GFP_NOFS, when the limit was breached. - It copes with prio inversion. Previously, a low-prio task with small memory.high might perform over-high reclaim with a bunch of locks held. If a higher prio task needed any of these locks, it would have to wait until the low prio task finished reclaim and released the locks. By handing over-high reclaim to the task exit path this issue can be avoided. Signed-off-by:

task_struct->memcg_oom is a sub-struct containing fields which are used for async memcg oom handling. Most task_struct fields aren't packaged this way and it can lead to unnecessary alignment paddings. This patch flattens it. * task.memcg_oom.memcg -> task.memcg_in_oom * task.memcg_oom.gfp_mask -> task.memcg_oom_gfp_mask * task.memcg_oom.order -> task.memcg_oom_order * task.memcg_oom.may_oom -> task.memcg_may_oom In addition, task.memcg_may_oom is relocated to where other bitfields are which reduces the size of task_struct.

probe_kernel_address() is basically the same as the (later added) probe_kernel_read(). The return value on EFAULT is a bit different: probe_kernel_address() returns number-of-bytes-not-copied whereas probe_kernel_read() returns -EFAULT. All callers have been checked, none cared. probe_kernel_read() can be overridden by the architecture whereas probe_kernel_address() cannot. parisc, blackfin and um do this, to insert additional checking. Hence this patch possibly fixes obscure bugs, although there are only two probe_kernel_address() callsites outside arch/. My first attempt involved removing probe_kernel_address() entirely and converting all callsites to use probe_kernel_read() directly, but that got tiresome. This patch shrinks mm/slab_common.o by 218 bytes. For a single probe_kernel_address() callsite.

On systems with a KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE of 128 (arm64, some mips and powerpc configurations defining ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN to 128), the first kmalloc_caches[] entry to be initialised after slab_early_init = 0 is "kmalloc-128" with index 7. Depending on the debug kernel configuration, sizeof(struct kmem_cache) can be larger than 128 resulting in an INDEX_NODE of 8. Commit 8fc9cf42 ("slab: make more slab management structure off the slab") enables off-slab management objects for sizes starting with PAGE_SIZE >> 5 (128 bytes for a 4KB page configuration) and the creation of the "kmalloc-128" cache would try to place the management objects off-slab. However, since KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE is already 128 and freelist_size == 32 in __kmem_cache_create(), kmalloc_slab(freelist_size) returns NULL (kmalloc_caches[7] not populated yet). This triggers the following bug on arm64: kernel BUG at /work/Linux/linux-2.6-aarch64/mm/slab.c:2283!

In slub_order(), the order starts from max(min_order, get_order(min_objects * size)). When (min_objects * size) has different order from (min_objects * size + reserved), it will skip this order via a check in the loop.
