Lee's patch "mempolicy: use MPOL_PREFERRED for system-wide default policy"
has made the MPOL_DEFAULT only used in the memory policy APIs. So, no
need to check in __mpol_equal also. Also get rid of mpol_match_intent()
and move its logic directly into __mpol_equal().

In order to reduce fragmentation, this patch classifies freed pages in two
groups according to their probability of being part of a high order merge.
Pages belonging to a compound whose next-highest buddy is free are more
likely to be part of a high order merge in the near future, so they will
be added at the tail of the freelist. The remaining pages are put at the
front of the freelist.
In this way, the pages that are more likely to cause a big merge are kept
free longer. Consequently there is a tendency to aggregate the
long-living allocations on a subset of the compounds, reducing the
fragmentation.
This heuristic was tested on three machines, x86, x86-64 and ppc64 with
3GB of RAM in each machine. The tests were kernbench, netperf, sysbench
and STREAM for performance and a high-order stress test for huge page
allocations.

There was a distinct lack of confidence in the X86* figures so I included
what the devation was where the results were not confident. Many of the
results, whether gains or losses were within the standard deviation so no
solid conclusion can be reached on performance impact. Looking at the
figures, only the X86-64 ones look suspicious with a few losses that were
outside the noise. However, the results were so unstable that without
knowing why they vary so much, a solid conclusion cannot be reached.

Again, there is little to conclude here. While there are a few losses,
the results vary by +/- 8% in some cases. They are the results of most
concern as there are some large losses but it's also within the variance
typically seen between kernel releases.
The STREAM results varied so little and are so verbose that I didn't
include them here.
The final test stressed how many huge pages can be allocated. The
absolute number of huge pages allocated are the same with or without the
page. However, the "unusability free space index" which is a measure of
external fragmentation was slightly lower (lower is better) throughout the
lifetime of the system. I also measured the latency of how long it took
to successfully allocate a huge page. The latency was slightly lower and
on X86 and PPC64, more huge pages were allocated almost immediately from
the free lists. The improvement is slight but there.

Shaohua Li reported parallel file copy on tmpfs can lead to OOM killer.
This is regression of caused by commit 9ff473b9a7 ("vmscan: evict
streaming IO first"). Wow, It is 2 years old patch!
Currently, tmpfs file cache is inserted active list at first. This means
that the insertion doesn't only increase numbers of pages in anon LRU, but
it also reduces anon scanning ratio. Therefore, vmscan will get totally
confused. It scans almost only file LRU even though the system has plenty
unused tmpfs pages.
Historically, lru_cache_add_active_anon() was used for two reasons.
1) Intend to priotize shmem page rather than regular file cache.
2) Intend to avoid reclaim priority inversion of used once pages.
But we've lost both motivation because (1) Now we have separate anon and
file LRU list. then, to insert active list doesn't help such priotize.
(2) In past, one pte access bit will cause page activation. then to
insert inactive list with pte access bit mean higher priority than to
insert active list. Its priority inversion may lead to uninteded lru
chun. but it was already solved by commit 645747462 (vmscan: detect
mapped file pages used only once). (Thanks Hannes, you are great!)
Thus, now we can use lru_cache_add_anon() instead.

The alloc_slab_page() in SLUB uses alloc_pages() if node is '-1'. This means
that node validity check in alloc_pages_node is unnecessary and we can use
alloc_pages_exact_node() to avoid comparison and branch as commit

When CONFIG_BLOCK isn't enabled:
mm/page-writeback.c: In function 'laptop_mode_timer_fn':
mm/page-writeback.c:708: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
mm/page-writeback.c:709: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
Fix this by essentially eliminating the laptop sync handlers when
CONFIG_BLOCK isn't set, as most are only used from the block layer code.
The exception is laptop_sync_completion() which is used from sys_sync(),
make that an empty declaration in that case.

Commit 69b62d01 fixed up most of the places where we would enter
busy schedule() spins when disabling the periodic background
writeback. This fixes up the sb timer so that it doesn't get
hammered on with the delay disabled, and ensures that it gets
rearmed if needed when /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
gets modified.
bdi_forker_task() also needs to check for !dirty_writeback_centisecs
and use schedule() appropriately, fix that up too.

This callback is required when RAM based devices are used as swap disks.
One such device is ramzswap which is used as compressed in-memory swap
disk. For such devices, we need a callback as soon as a swap slot is no
longer used to allow freeing memory allocated for this slot. Without this
callback, stale data can quickly accumulate in memory defeating the whole
purpose of such devices.

S_ISBLK(swap_info_struct->swap_file->f_mapping->host->i_mode)

When umount calls sync_filesystem(), we first do a WB_SYNC_NONE
writeback to kick off writeback of pending dirty inodes, then follow
that up with a WB_SYNC_ALL to wait for it. Since umount already holds
the sb s_umount mutex, WB_SYNC_NONE ends up doing nothing and all
writeback happens as WB_SYNC_ALL. This can greatly slow down umount,
since WB_SYNC_ALL writeback is a data integrity operation and thus
a bigger hammer than simple WB_SYNC_NONE. For barrier aware file systems
it's a lot slower.

Some callers (in memcontrol.c) calls css_is_ancestor() without
rcu_read_lock. Because css_is_ancestor() has to access RCU protected
data, it should be under rcu_read_lock().
This makes css_is_ancestor() itself does safe access to RCU protected
area. (At least, "root" can have refcnt==0 if it's not an ancestor of
"child". So, we need rcu_read_lock().)

Commit ad4ba37537 ("memcg: css_id() must be
called under rcu_read_lock()") modifies memcontol.c for fixing RCU check
message. But Andrew Morton pointed out that the fix doesn't seems sane
and it was just for hidining lockdep messages.
This is a patch for do proper things. Checking again, all places,
accessing without rcu_read_lock, that commit fixies was intentional....
all callers of css_id() has reference count on it. So, it's not necessary
to be under rcu_read_lock().
Considering again, we can use rcu_dereference_check for css_id(). We know
css->id is valid if css->refcnt > 0. (css->id never changes and freed
after css->refcnt going to be 0.)
This patch makes use of rcu_dereference_check() in css_id/depth and remove
unnecessary rcu-read-lock added by the commit.

Currently page_address_in_vma() compares vma->anon_vma and
page_anon_vma(page) for parameter check, but in 2.6.34 a vma can have
multiple anon_vmas with anon_vma_chain, so current check does not work.
(For anonymous page shared by multiple processes, some verified (page,vma)
pairs return -EFAULT wrongly.)
We can go to checking all anon_vmas in the "same_vma" chain, but it needs
to meet lock requirement. Instead, we can remove anon_vma check safely
because page_address_in_vma() assumes that page and vma are already
checked to belong to the identical process.

Ordinarily, application using hugetlbfs will create mappings with
reserves. For shared mappings, these pages are reserved before mmap()
returns success and for private mappings, the caller process is guaranteed
and a child process that cannot get the pages gets killed with sigbus.
An application that uses MAP_NORESERVE gets no reservations and mmap()
will always succeed at the risk the page will not be available at fault
time. This might be used for example on very large sparse mappings where
the developer is confident the necessary huge pages exist to satisfy all
faults even though the whole mapping cannot be backed by huge pages.
Unfortunately, if an allocation does fail, VM_FAULT_OOM is returned to the
fault handler which proceeds to trigger the OOM-killer. This is
unhelpful.
Even without hugetlbfs mounted, a user using mmap() can trivially trigger
the OOM-killer because VM_FAULT_OOM is returned (will provide example
program if desired - it's a whopping 24 lines long). It could be
considered a DOS available to an unprivileged user.
This patch alters hugetlbfs to kill a process that uses MAP_NORESERVE
where huge pages were not available with SIGBUS instead of triggering the
OOM killer.
This change affects hugetlb_cow() as well. I feel there is a failure case
in there, but I didn't create one. It would need a fairly specific target
in terms of the faulting application and the hugepage pool size. The
hugetlb_no_page() path is much easier to hit but both might as well be
closed.

Implement an alternate percpu chunk management based on kernel memeory
for nommu SMP architectures. Instead of mapping into vmalloc area,
chunks are allocated as a contiguous kernel memory using
alloc_pages(). As such, percpu allocator on nommu will have the
following restrictions.
* It can't fill chunks on-demand page-by-page. It has to allocate
each chunk fully upfront.
* It can't support sparse chunk for NUMA configurations. SMP w/o mmu
is crazy enough. Let's hope no one does NUMA w/o mmu. :-P
* If chunk size isn't power-of-two multiple of PAGE_SIZE, the
unaligned amount will be wasted on each chunk. So, archs which use
this better align chunk size.
For instructions on how to use this, read the comment on top of
mm/percpu-km.c.

Separate out and move chunk management (creation/desctruction and
[de]population) code into percpu-vm.c which is included by percpu.c
and compiled together. The interface for chunk management is defined
as follows.
* pcpu_populate_chunk - populate the specified range of a chunk
* pcpu_depopulate_chunk - depopulate the specified range of a chunk
* pcpu_create_chunk - create a new chunk
* pcpu_destroy_chunk - destroy a chunk, always preceded by full depop
* pcpu_addr_to_page - translate address to physical address
* pcpu_verify_alloc_info - check alloc_info is acceptable during init
Other than wrapping vmalloc_to_page() inside pcpu_addr_to_page() and
dummy pcpu_verify_alloc_info() implementation, this patch only moves
code around. This separation is to allow alternate chunk management
implementation.
