      drivers/rtc/rtc-tps65910.c: fix invalid pointer access on _remove() · 1430e178
      Kim, Milo authored 
      The tps65910_rtc data is registered as the platform driver data in
_probe(= ).  Therefore the tps65910_rtc should be used on unregistering
the rtc device.  And device pointer should be retrieved from the
platform_device structure.

This patch fixes the below oops:

      mm: soft offline: split thp at the beginning of soft_offline_page() · 783657a7
      Naoya Horiguchi authored 
      When we try to soft-offline a thp tail page, put_page() is called on the
tail page unthinkingly and VM_BUG_ON is triggered in put_compound_page().

This patch splits thp before going into the main body of soft-offlining.

      mm: avoid waking kswapd for THP allocations when compaction is deferred or contended · 782fd304
      Mel Gorman authored 
      With "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction
based on failures" reverted, Zdenek Kabelac reported the following

  Hmm,  so it's just took longer to hit the problem and observe
  kswapd0 spinning on my CPU again - it's not as endless like before -
  but still it easily eats minutes - it helps to turn off  Firefox
  or TB  (memory hungry apps) so kswapd0 stops soon - and restart
  those apps again.  (And I still have like >1GB of cached memory)

  kswapd0         R  running task        0    30      2 0x00000000
  Call Trace:
    preempt_schedule+0x42/0x60
    _raw_spin_unlock+0x55/0x60
    put_super+0x31/0x40
    drop_super+0x22/0x30
    prune_super+0x149/0x1b0
    shrink_slab+0xba/0x510

The sysrq+m indicates the system has no swap so it'll never reclaim
anonymous pages as part of reclaim/compaction.  That is one part of the
problem but not the root cause as file-backed pages could also be
reclaimed.

The likely underlying problem is that kswapd is woken up or kept awake
for each THP allocation request in the page allocator slow path.

If compaction fails for the requesting process then compaction will be
deferred for a time and direct reclaim is avoided.  However, if there
are a storm of THP requests that are simply rejected, it will still be
the the case that kswapd is awake for a prolonged period of time as
pgdat->kswapd_max_order is updated each time.  This is noticed by the
main kswapd() loop and it will not call kswapd_try_to_sleep().  Instead
it will loopp, shrinking a small number of pages and calling
shrink_slab() on each iteration.

This patch defers when kswapd gets woken up for THP allocations.  For
!THP allocations, kswapd is always woken up.  For THP allocations,
kswapd is woken up iff the process is willing to enter into direct
reclaim/compaction.

      It apepars that this patch was innocent, and we hope that "mm: avoid
waking kswapd for THP allocations when compaction is deferred or
contended" will fix the final kswapd-spinning cause.

      mm: vmscan: fix endless loop in kswapd balancing · 60cefed4
      Johannes Weiner authored 
      Kswapd does not in all places have the same criteria for a balanced
zone.  Zones are only being reclaimed when their high watermark is
breached, but compaction checks loop over the zonelist again when the
zone does not meet the low watermark plus two times the size of the
allocation.  This gets kswapd stuck in an endless loop over a small
zone, like the DMA zone, where the high watermark is smaller than the
compaction requirement.

Add a function, zone_balanced(), that checks the watermark, and, for
higher order allocations, if compaction has enough free memory.  Then
use it uniformly to check for balanced zones.

This makes sure that when the compaction watermark is not met, at least
reclaim happens and progress is made - or the zone is declared
unreclaimable at some point and skipped entirely.

      mm/vmemmap: fix wrong use of virt_to_page · ae64ffca
      Jianguo Wu authored 
      I enable CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL and CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, when doing
memory hotremove, there is a kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/physaddr.c:20.

It is caused by free_section_usemap()->virt_to_page(), virt_to_page() is
only used for kernel direct mapping address, but sparse-vmemmap uses
vmemmap address, so it is going wrong here.

      mm: compaction: fix return value of capture_free_page() · 58d00209
      Mel Gorman authored 
      Commit ef6c5be6 ("fix incorrect NR_FREE_PAGES accounting (appears
like memory leak)") fixes a NR_FREE_PAGE accounting leak but missed the
return value which was also missed by this reviewer until today.

That return value is used by compaction when adding pages to a list of
isolated free pages and without this follow-up fix, there is a risk of
free list corruption.
