printk: ignore too long messages

There was no check for too long messages.  The check for free space always
passed when first_seq and next_seq were equal.  Enough free space was not
guaranteed, though.

log_store() might be called to store messages up to 64kB + 64kB + 16B.
This is sum of maximal text_len, dict_len values, and the size of the
structure printk_log.

On the other hand, the minimal size for the main log buffer currently is
4kB and it is enforced only by Kconfig.

The good news is that the usage looks safe right now.  log_store() is
called only from vprintk_emit() and cont_flush().  Here the "text" part is
always passed via a static buffer and the length is limited to
LOG_LINE_MAX which is 1024.  The "dict" part is NULL in most cases.  The
only exceptions is when vprintk_emit() is called from printk_emit() and
dev_vprintk_emit().  But printk_emit() is currently used only in
devkmsg_writev() and here "dict" is NULL as well.  In dev_vprintk_emit(),
"dict" is limited by the static buffer "hdr" of the size 128 bytes.  It
meas that the current maximal printed text is 1024B + 128B + 16B and it
always fit the log buffer.

But it is only matter of time when someone calls printk_emit() with unsafe
parameters, especially the "dict" one.

This patch adds a check for the free space when the buffer is empty.  It
reuses the already existing log_has_space() function but it has to add an
extra parameter.  It defines whether the buffer is empty.  Note that the
same values of "first_idx" and "next_idx" might also mean that the buffer
is full.

If the buffer is empty, we must respect the current position of the
indexes.  We cannot reset them to the beginning of the buffer.  Otherwise,
the functions reading the buffer would get crazy.

The question is what to do when the message is too long.  This patch uses
the easiest solution and just ignores the problematic message.  Let's do
something better in a followup patch.

printk: split code for making free space in the log buffer

The check for free space in the log buffer always passes when "first_seq"
and "next_seq" are equal.  In theory, it might cause writing outside of
the log buffer.

Fortunately, the current usage looks safe because the used "text" and
"dict" buffers are quite limited.  See the second patch for more details.

Anyway, it is better to be on the safe side and add a check.  An easy
solution is done in the 2nd patch and it is improved in the 4th patch.

5th patch fixes the computation of the printed message length.

1st and 3rd patches just do some code refactoring to make the other
patches easier.

This patch (of 5):

There will be needed some fixes in the check for free space.  They will be
easier if the code is moved outside of the quite long log_store()
function.

This patch does not change the existing behavior.

compiler.h: avoid sparse errors in __compiletime_error_fallback()

Usually, BUG_ON and friends aren't even evaluated in sparse, but recently
compiletime_assert_atomic_type() was added, and that now results in a
sparse warning every time it is used.

The reason turns out to be the temporary variable, after it sparse no
longer considers the value to be a constant, and results in a warning and
an error.  The error is the more annoying part of this as it suppresses
any further warnings in the same file, hiding other problems.

Unfortunately the condition cannot be simply expanded out to avoid the
temporary variable since it breaks compiletime_assert on old versions of
GCC such as GCC 4.2.4 which the latest metag compiler is based on.

Therefore #ifndef __CHECKER__ out the __compiletime_error_fallback which
uses the potentially negative size array to trigger a conditional compiler
error, so that sparse doesn't see it.

zram: correct offset usage in zram_bio_discard

We want to skip the physical block(PAGE_SIZE) which is partially covered
by the discard bio, so we check the remaining size and subtract it if
there is a need to goto the next physical block.

The current offset usage in zram_bio_discard is incorrect, it will cause
its upper filesystem breakdown.  Consider the following scenario:

On some architecture or config, PAGE_SIZE is 64K for example, filesystem
is set up on zram disk without PAGE_SIZE aligned, a discard bio leads to a
offset = 4K and size=72K, normally, it should not really discard any
physical block as it partially cover two physical blocks.  However, with
the current offset usage, it will discard the second physical block and
free its memory, which will cause filesystem breakdown.

This patch corrects the offset usage in zram_bio_discard.

Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt: clarify vfs_cache_pressure description

Existing description is worded in a way which almost encourages setting of
vfs_cache_pressure above 100, possibly way above it.

Users are left in a dark what this numeric value is - an int?  a
percentage?  what the scale is?

As a result, we are getting reports about noticeable performance
degradation from users who have set vfs_cache_pressure to ridiculously
high values - because they thought there is no downside to it.

Via code inspection it's obvious that this value is treated as a
percentage.  This patch changes text to reflect this fact, and adds a
cautionary paragraph advising against setting vfs_cache_pressure sky high.

mm/memory-failure.c: support use of a dedicated thread to handle SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AO)

Currently memory error handler handles action optional errors in the
deferred manner by default.  And if a recovery aware application wants
to handle it immediately, it can do it by setting PF_MCE_EARLY flag.
However, such signal can be sent only to the main thread, so it's
problematic if the application wants to have a dedicated thread to
handler such signals.

So this patch adds dedicated thread support to memory error handler.  We
have PF_MCE_EARLY flags for each thread separately, so with this patch
AO signal is sent to the thread with PF_MCE_EARLY flag set, not the main
thread.  If you want to implement a dedicated thread, you call prctl()
to set PF_MCE_EARLY on the thread.

Memory error handler collects processes to be killed, so this patch lets
it check PF_MCE_EARLY flag on each thread in the collecting routines.

No behavioral change for all non-early kill cases.

Tony said:

: The old behavior was crazy - someone with a multithreaded process might
: well expect that if they call prctl(PF_MCE_EARLY) in just one thread, then
: that thread would see the SIGBUS with si_code = BUS_MCEERR_A0 - even if
: that thread wasn't the main thread for the process.

mm/memory-failure.c: don't let collect_procs() skip over processes for MF_ACTION_REQUIRED

When Linux sees an "action optional" machine check (where h/w has reported
an error that is not in the current execution path) we generally do not
want to signal a process, since most processes do not have a SIGBUS
handler - we'd just prematurely terminate the process for a problem that
they might never actually see.

task_early_kill() decides whether to consider a process - and it checks
whether this specific process has been marked for early signals with
"prctl", or if the system administrator has requested early signals for
all processes using /proc/sys/vm/memory_failure_early_kill.

But for MF_ACTION_REQUIRED case we must not defer.  The error is in the
execution path of the current thread so we must send the SIGBUS
immediatley.

Fix by passing a flag argument through collect_procs*() to
task_early_kill() so it knows whether we can defer or must take action.

mm/memory-failure.c-failure: send right signal code to correct thread

When a thread in a multi-threaded application hits a machine check because
of an uncorrectable error in memory - we want to send the SIGBUS with
si.si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AR to that thread.  Currently we fail to do that
if the active thread is not the primary thread in the process.
collect_procs() just finds primary threads and this test:

if ((flags & MF_ACTION_REQUIRED) && t == current) {

will see that the thread we found isn't the current thread and so send a
si.si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AO to the primary (and nothing to the active

We can fix this by checking whether "current" shares the same mm with the

SIGBUS to current (with code BUS_MCEERR_AR).

mm/page-writeback.c: remove outdated comment

There is an orphaned prehistoric comment , which used to be against
get_dirty_limits(), the dawn of global_dirtyable_memory().

Back then, the implementation of get_dirty_limits() is complicated and
full of magic numbers, so this comment is necessary.  But we now use the
clear and neat global_dirtyable_memory(), which renders this comment
ambiguous and useless.  Remove it.

mm/swapfile.c: delete the "last_in_cluster < scan_base" loop in the body of scan_swap_map()

Via commit ebc2a1a69111 ("swap: make cluster allocation per-cpu"), we
can find that all SWP_SOLIDSTATE "seek is cheap"(SSD case) has already
gone to si->cluster_info scan_swap_map_try_ssd_cluster() route.  So that
the "last_in_cluster < scan_base" loop in the body of scan_swap_map()
has already become a dead code snippet, and it should have been deleted.

mm: nominate faultaround area in bytes rather than page order

There is evidencs that the faultaround feature is less relevant on
architectures with page size bigger then 4k.  Which makes sense since page
fault overhead per byte of mapped area should be less there.

Let's rework the feature to specify faultaround area in bytes instead of
page order.  It's 64 kilobytes for now.

The patch effectively disables faultaround on architectures with page size
>= 64k (like ppc64).

It's possible that some other size of faultaround area is relevant for a
platform.  We can expose `fault_around_bytes' variable to arch-specific
code once such platforms will be found.

mm: vmscan: use proportional scanning during direct reclaim and full scan at DEF_PRIORITY

Commit "mm: vmscan: obey proportional scanning requirements for kswapd"
ensured that file/anon lists were scanned proportionally for reclaim from
kswapd but ignored it for direct reclaim.  The intent was to minimse
direct reclaim latency but Yuanhan Liu pointer out that it substitutes one
long stall for many small stalls and distorts aging for normal workloads
like streaming readers/writers.  Hugh Dickins pointed out that a
side-effect of the same commit was that when one LRU list dropped to zero
that the entirety of the other list was shrunk leading to excessive
reclaim in memcgs.  This patch scans the file/anon lists proportionally
for direct reclaim to similarly age page whether reclaimed by kswapd or
direct reclaim but takes care to abort reclaim if one LRU drops to zero
after reclaiming the requested number of pages.

fs/superblock: avoid locking counting inodes and dentries before reclaiming them

We remove the call to grab_super_passive in call to super_cache_count.
This becomes a scalability bottleneck as multiple threads are trying to do
memory reclamation, e.g.  when we are doing large amount of file read and
page cache is under pressure.  The cached objects quickly got reclaimed
down to 0 and we are aborting the cache_scan() reclaim.  But counting
creates a log jam acquiring the sb_lock.

We are holding the shrinker_rwsem which ensures the safety of call to
list_lru_count_node() and s_op->nr_cached_objects.  The shrinker is
unregistered now before ->kill_sb() so the operation is safe when we are
doing unmount.

The impact will depend heavily on the machine and the workload but for a
small machine using postmark tuned to use 4xRAM size the results were

first two patches are shrinker patches that were posted ages ago but never

This patch (of 3):

We will like to unregister the sb shrinker before ->kill_sb().  This will
allow cached objects to be counted without call to grab_super_passive() to
update ref count on sb.  We want to avoid locking during memory
reclamation especially when we are skipping the memory reclaim when we are
out of cached objects.

This is safe because grab_super_passive does a try-lock on the
sb->s_umount now, and so if we are in the unmount process, it won't ever
block.  That means what used to be a deadlock and races we were avoiding
by using grab_super_passive() is now:

        shrinker                        umount

        down_read(shrinker_rwsem)
                                        down_write(sb->s_umount)
                                        shrinker_unregister
                                          down_write(shrinker_rwsem)
                                            <blocks>
        grab_super_passive(sb)
          down_read_trylock(sb->s_umount)
            <fails>
        <shrinker aborts>
        ....
        <shrinkers finish running>
        up_read(shrinker_rwsem)
                                          <unblocks>
                                          <removes shrinker>
                                          up_write(shrinker_rwsem)
                                        ->kill_sb()
                                        ....

So it is safe to deregister the shrinker before ->kill_sb().

mm/msync.c: sync only the requested range in msync()

msync() currently syncs more than POSIX requires or BSD or Solaris
implement.  It is supposed to be equivalent to fdatasync(), not fsync(),
and it is only supposed to sync the portion of the file that overlaps the
range passed to msync.

If the VMA is non-linear, fall back to syncing the entire file, but we
still optimise to only fdatasync() the entire file, not the full fsync().

akpm: there are obvious concerns with bck-compatibility: is anyone relying
on the undocumented side-effect for their data integrity?  And how would
they ever know if this change broke their data integrity?

We think the risk is reasonably low, and this patch brings the kernel into

mm, compaction: properly signal and act upon lock and need_sched() contention

Compaction uses compact_checklock_irqsave() function to periodically check
for lock contention and need_resched() to either abort async compaction,
or to free the lock, schedule and retake the lock.  When aborting,
cc->contended is set to signal the contended state to the caller.  Two
problems have been identified in this mechanism.

First, compaction also calls directly cond_resched() in both scanners when
no lock is yet taken.  This call either does not abort async compaction,
or set cc->contended appropriately.  This patch introduces a new
compact_should_abort() function to achieve both.  In isolate_freepages(),
the check frequency is reduced to once by SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pageblocks to
match what the migration scanner does in the preliminary page checks.  In
case a pageblock is found suitable for calling isolate_freepages_block(),
the checks within there are done on higher frequency.

Second, isolate_freepages() does not check if isolate_freepages_block()
aborted due to contention, and advances to the next pageblock.  This
violates the principle of aborting on contention, and might result in
pageblocks not being scanned completely, since the scanning cursor is
advanced.  This problem has been noticed in the code by Joonsoo Kim when
reviewing related patches.  This patch makes isolate_freepages_block()
check the cc->contended flag and abort.

In case isolate_freepages() has already isolated some pages before
aborting due to contention, page migration will proceed, which is OK since
we do not want to waste the work that has been done, and page migration
has own checks for contention.  However, we do not want another isolation
attempt by either of the scanners, so cc->contended flag check is added
also to compaction_alloc() and compact_finished() to make sure compaction
is aborted right after the migration.

The outcome of the patch should be reduced lock contention by async
compaction and lower latencies for higher-order allocations where direct
compaction is involved.

mm: non-atomically mark page accessed during page cache allocation where possible

aops->write_begin may allocate a new page and make it visible only to have
mark_page_accessed called almost immediately after.  Once the page is
visible the atomic operations are necessary which is noticable overhead
when writing to an in-memory filesystem like tmpfs but should also be
noticable with fast storage.  The objective of the patch is to initialse
the accessed information with non-atomic operations before the page is
visible.

The bulk of filesystems directly or indirectly use
grab_cache_page_write_begin or find_or_create_page for the initial
allocation of a page cache page.  This patch adds an init_page_accessed()
helper which behaves like the first call to mark_page_accessed() but may
called before the page is visible and can be done non-atomically.

The primary APIs of concern in this care are the following and are used
by most filesystems.

find_get_page
find_lock_page
find_or_create_page
grab_cache_page_nowait
grab_cache_page_write_begin

All of them are very similar in detail to the patch creates a core helper
pagecache_get_page() which takes a flags parameter that affects its
behavior such as whether the page should be marked accessed or not.  Then
old API is preserved but is basically a thin wrapper around this core
function.

Each of the filesystems are then updated to avoid calling
mark_page_accessed when it is known that the VM interfaces have already
done the job.  There is a slight snag in that the timing of the
mark_page_accessed() has now changed so in rare cases it's possible a page
gets to the end of the LRU as PageReferenced where as previously it might
have been repromoted.  This is expected to be rare but it's worth the
filesystem people thinking about it in case they see a problem with the
timing change.  It is also the case that some filesystems may be marking
pages accessed that previously did not but it makes sense that filesystems
have consistent behaviour in this regard.

The test case used to evaulate this is a simple dd of a large file done
multiple times with the file deleted on each iterations.  The size of the
file is 1/10th physical memory to avoid dirty page balancing.  In the
async case it will be possible that the workload completes without even
hitting the disk and will have variable results but highlight the impact
of mark_page_accessed for async IO.  The sync results are expected to be
more stable.  The exception is tmpfs where the normal case is for the "IO"
to not hit the disk.

The test machine was single socket and UMA to avoid any scheduling or NUMA
artifacts.  Throughput and wall times are presented for sync IO, only wall
times are shown for async as the granularity reported by dd and the
variability is unsuitable for comparison.  As async results were variable
do to writback timings, I'm only reporting the maximum figures.  The sync
results were stable enough to make the mean and stddev uninteresting.

The performance results are reported based on a run with no profiling.
Profile data is based on a separate run with oprofile running.

mm: page_alloc: use unsigned int for order in more places

X86 prefers the use of unsigned types for iterators and there is a
tendency to mix whether a signed or unsigned type if used for page order.

mm: page_alloc: use word-based accesses for get/set pageblock bitmaps

The test_bit operations in get/set pageblock flags are expensive.  This
patch reads the bitmap on a word basis and use shifts and masks to isolate
the bits of interest.  Similarly masks are used to set a local copy of the
bitmap and then use cmpxchg to update the bitmap if there have been no
other changes made in parallel.

In a test running dd onto tmpfs the overhead of the pageblock-related
functions went from 1.27% in profiles to 0.5%.

In addition to the performance benefits, this patch closes races that are
possible between:

a) get_ and set_pageblock_migratetype(), where get_pageblock_migratetype()
   reads part of the bits before and other part of the bits after
   set_pageblock_migratetype() has updated them.

b) set_pageblock_migratetype() and set_pageblock_skip(), where the non-atomic
   read-modify-update set bit operation in set_pageblock_skip() will cause
   lost updates to some bits changed in the set_pageblock_migratetype().

Joonsoo Kim first reported the case a) via code inspection.  Vlastimil
Babka's testing with a debug patch showed that either a) or b) occurs
roughly once per mmtests' stress-highalloc benchmark (although not
necessarily in the same pageblock).  Furthermore during development of
unrelated compaction patches, it was observed that frequent calls to
{start,undo}_isolate_page_range() the race occurs several thousands of
times and has resulted in NULL pointer dereferences in move_freepages()
and free_one_page() in places where free_list[migratetype] is
manipulated by e.g.  list_move().  Further debugging confirmed that
migratetype had invalid value of 6, causing out of bounds access to the
free_list array.

That confirmed that the race exist, although it may be extremely rare,
and currently only fatal where page isolation is performed due to
memory hot remove.  Races on pageblocks being updated by
set_pageblock_migratetype(), where both old and new migratetype are
lower MIGRATE_RESERVE, currently cannot result in an invalid value
being observed, although theoretically they may still lead to
unexpected creation or destruction of MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks.
Furthermore, things could get suddenly worse when memory isolation is
used more, or when new migratetypes are added.

After this patch, the race has no longer been observed in testing.

mm: page_alloc: take the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK check out of the fast path

slab: delete cache from list after __kmem_cache_shutdown succeeds

Currently, on kmem_cache_destroy we delete the cache from the slab_list
before __kmem_cache_shutdown, inserting it back to the list on failure.
Initially, this was done, because we could release the slab_mutex in
__kmem_cache_shutdown to delete sysfs slub entry, but since commit
41a212859a4d ("slub: use sysfs'es release mechanism for kmem_cache") we
remove sysfs entry later in kmem_cache_destroy after dropping the
slab_mutex, so that no implementation of __kmem_cache_shutdown can ever
release the lock.  Therefore we can simplify the code a bit by moving
list_del after __kmem_cache_shutdown.

swap: change swap_list_head to plist, add swap_avail_head

Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked
list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index,
which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap
target that was not full.  The first patch in this series changed the
singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start
at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest
priority entry each time, even if the entry is full.

Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head.
Add a new plist, swap_avail_head.  The original swap_active_head plist
contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new
swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and
available, i.e. not full.  Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect
the swap_avail_head list.

Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering
the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing
manually.  All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct
entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically
ordered correctly.

Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and
optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full
swap_info_structs.  Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist
allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the
plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not
do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change
from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main
swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

lib/plist: add plist_requeue

Add plist_requeue(), which moves the specified plist_node after all other
same-priority plist_nodes in the list.  This is essentially an optimized
plist_del() followed by plist_add().

This is needed by swap, which (with the next patch in this set) uses a
plist of available swap devices.  When a swap device (either a swap
partition or swap file) are added to the system with swapon(), the device
is added to a plist, ordered by the swap device's priority.  When swap
needs to allocate a page from one of the swap devices, it takes the page
from the first swap device on the plist, which is the highest priority
swap device.  The swap device is left in the plist until all its pages are
used, and then removed from the plist when it becomes full.

However, as described in man 2 swapon, swap must allocate pages from swap
devices with the same priority in round-robin order; to do this, on each
swap page allocation, swap uses a page from the first swap device in the
plist, and then calls plist_requeue() to move that swap device entry to
after any other same-priority swap devices.  The next swap page allocation
will again use a page from the first swap device in the plist and requeue
it, and so on, resulting in round-robin usage of equal-priority swap
devices.

Also add plist_test_requeue() test function, for use by plist_test() to
test plist_requeue() function.

The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries
for all active, i.e.  swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because:

 - it stores the entries in priority order
 - there is a pointer to the highest priority entry
 - there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry
 - there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock
 - swap entries of equal priority should be used equally

this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally.

That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists,
but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to
understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic.

The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list
using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed
and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority
swap_info entry, even if it's full.  While this does introduce unnecessary
list iteration (i.e.  Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where
one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and
manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug;
and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration.

The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new
really, just functions to match existing regular list functions.  These
are used by the next two patches.

The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in
the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries
(which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that
all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally.

The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist
that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full.
As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from
swap - plists handle ordering automatically.  The list naming is also
clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed
from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named
swap_avail_head.  A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so
swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as
they become full or not full.

This patch (of 4):

Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e.  swapon'ed,
swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct
list_heads.  Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of
entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head
functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic.

The change fixes the bug:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry
are incorrectly used equally in pairs.  The swap behavior is now as
advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and
equal priority swap targets are used concurrently.

mm/compaction: avoid rescanning pageblocks in isolate_freepages

The compaction free scanner in isolate_freepages() currently remembers PFN
of the highest pageblock where it successfully isolates, to be used as the
starting pageblock for the next invocation.  The rationale behind this is
that page migration might return free pages to the allocator when
migration fails and we don't want to skip them if the compaction
continues.

Since migration now returns free pages back to compaction code where they
can be reused, this is no longer a concern.  This patch changes
isolate_freepages() so that the PFN for restarting is updated with each
pageblock where isolation is attempted.  Using stress-highalloc from
mmtests, this resulted in 10% reduction of the pages scanned by the free
scanner.

Note that the somewhat similar functionality that records highest
successful pageblock in zone->compact_cached_free_pfn, remains unchanged.
This cache is used when the whole compaction is restarted, not for
multiple invocations of the free scanner during single compaction.

mm/compaction: do not count migratepages when unnecessary

During compaction, update_nr_listpages() has been used to count remaining
non-migrated and free pages after a call to migrage_pages().  The
freepages counting has become unneccessary, and it turns out that
migratepages counting is also unnecessary in most cases.

The only situation when it's needed to count cc->migratepages is when
migrate_pages() returns with a negative error code.  Otherwise, the
non-negative return value is the number of pages that were not migrated,
which is exactly the count of remaining pages in the cc->migratepages
list.

Furthermore, any non-zero count is only interesting for the tracepoint of
mm_compaction_migratepages events, because after that all remaining
unmigrated pages are put back and their count is set to 0.

This patch therefore removes update_nr_listpages() completely, and changes
the tracepoint definition so that the manual counting is done only when
the tracepoint is enabled, and only when migrate_pages() returns a
negative error code.

Furthermore, migrate_pages() and the tracepoints won't be called when
there's nothing to migrate.  This potentially avoids some wasted cycles
and reduces the volume of uninteresting mm_compaction_migratepages events
where "nr_migrated=0 nr_failed=0".  In the stress-highalloc mmtest, this
was about 75% of the events.  The mm_compaction_isolate_migratepages event
is better for determining that nothing was isolated for migration, and
this one was just duplicating the info.

mm, thp: avoid excessive compaction latency during fault

Synchronous memory compaction can be very expensive: it can iterate an
enormous amount of memory without aborting, constantly rescheduling,
waiting on page locks and lru_lock, etc, if a pageblock cannot be
defragmented.

Unfortunately, it's too expensive for transparent hugepage page faults and
it's much better to simply fallback to pages.  On 128GB machines, we find
that synchronous memory compaction can take O(seconds) for a single thp
fault.

Now that async compaction remembers where it left off without strictly
relying on sync compaction, this makes thp allocations best-effort without
causing egregious latency during fault.  We still need to retry async
compaction after reclaim, but this won't stall for seconds.

We're going to want to manipulate the migration mode for compaction in the

Currently, we only do MIGRATE_ASYNC or MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT compaction

migrate_mode and pass the migration mode in directly.  Later, we'll want
to avoid MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT for thp allocations in the pagefault patch to

This also alters compaction triggered from sysfs, either for the entire
system or for a node, to force MIGRATE_SYNC.

mm, compaction: add per-zone migration pfn cache for async compaction

Each zone has a cached migration scanner pfn for memory compaction so that
subsequent calls to memory compaction can start where the previous call
left off.

Currently, the compaction migration scanner only updates the per-zone
cached pfn when pageblocks were not skipped for async compaction.  This
creates a dependency on calling sync compaction to avoid having subsequent
calls to async compaction from scanning an enormous amount of non-MOVABLE
pageblocks each time it is called.  On large machines, this could be
potentially very expensive.

This patch adds a per-zone cached migration scanner pfn only for async
compaction.  It is updated everytime a pageblock has been scanned in its
entirety and when no pages from it were successfully isolated.  The cached
migration scanner pfn for sync compaction is updated only when called for
sync compaction.

mm, compaction: return failed migration target pages back to freelist

Greg reported that he found isolated free pages were returned back to the
VM rather than the compaction freelist.  This will cause holes behind the
free scanner and cause it to reallocate additional memory if necessary
later.

He detected the problem at runtime seeing that ext4 metadata pages (esp
the ones read by "sbi->s_group_desc[i] = sb_bread(sb, block)") were
constantly visited by compaction calls of migrate_pages().  These pages
had a non-zero b_count which caused fallback_migrate_page() ->
try_to_release_page() -> try_to_free_buffers() to fail.

Memory compaction works by having a "freeing scanner" scan from one end of
a zone which isolates pages as migration targets while another "migrating
scanner" scans from the other end of the same zone which isolates pages
for migration.

When page migration fails for an isolated page, the target page is
returned to the system rather than the freelist built by the freeing
scanner.  This may require the freeing scanner to continue scanning memory
after suitable migration targets have already been returned to the system
needlessly.

This patch returns destination pages to the freeing scanner freelist when
page migration fails.  This prevents unnecessary work done by the freeing
scanner but also encourages memory to be as compacted as possible at the
end of the zone.
