shrink_inactive_list() scans in sc->swap_cluster_max chunks until it hits
the scan limit it was passed.
shrink_inactive_list()
{
do {
isolate_pages(swap_cluster_max)
shrink_page_list()
} while (nr_scanned < max_scan);
}
This assumes that swap_cluster_max is not bigger than the scan limit
because the latter is checked only after at least one iteration.
In shrink_all_memory() sc->swap_cluster_max is initialized to the overall
reclaim goal in the beginning but not decreased while reclaim is making
progress which leads to subsequent calls to shrink_inactive_list()
reclaiming way too much in the one iteration that is done unconditionally.
Set sc->swap_cluster_max always to the proper goal before doing
shrink_all_zones()
shrink_list()
shrink_inactive_list().
While the current shrink_all_memory() happily reclaims more than actually
requested, this patch fixes it to never exceed the goal:

sc.may_swap does not only influence reclaiming of anon pages but pages
mapped into pagetables in general, which also includes mapped file pages.
In shrink_page_list():
if (!sc->may_swap && page_mapped(page))
goto keep_locked;
For anon pages, this makes sense as they are always mapped and reclaiming
them always requires swapping.
But mapped file pages are skipped here as well and it has nothing to do
with swapping.
The real effect of the knob is whether mapped pages are unmapped and
reclaimed or not. Rename it to `may_unmap' to have its name match its
actual meaning more precisely.

CPU_MASK_ALL is the (deprecated) "all bits set" cpumask, defined as so:
#define CPU_MASK_ALL (cpumask_t) { { ... } }
Taking the address of such a temporary is questionable at best,
unfortunately 321a8e9d (cpumask: add CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR macro) added
CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR:
#define CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR (&CPU_MASK_ALL)
Which formalizes this practice. One day gcc could bite us over this
usage (though we seem to have gotten away with it so far).
So replace everywhere which used &CPU_MASK_ALL or CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR
with the modern "cpu_all_mask" (a real const struct cpumask *).

Enlarge default dirty ratios from 5/10 to 10/20. This fixes [Bug
#12809] iozone regression with 2.6.29-rc6.
The iozone benchmarks are performed on a 1200M file, with 8GB ram.
iozone -i 0 -i 1 -i 2 -i 3 -i 4 -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m -b tmp.xls
iozone -B -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m -b tmp.xls
The performance regression is triggered by commit 1cf6e7d83bf3(mm: task
dirty accounting fix), which makes more correct/thorough dirty
accounting.
The default 5/10 dirty ratios were picked (a) with the old dirty logic
and (b) largely at random and (c) designed to be aggressive. In
particular, that (a) means that having fixed some of the dirty
accounting, maybe the real bug is now that it was always too aggressive,
just hidden by an accounting issue.
The enlarged 10/20 dirty ratios are just about enough to fix the regression.

but that probably will need independent work. - Linus ]

Most ARM machines have a non IO coherent cache, meaning that the
dma_map_*() set of functions must clean and/or invalidate the affected
memory manually before DMA occurs. And because the majority of those
machines have a VIVT cache, the cache maintenance operations must be
performed using virtual
addresses.
When a highmem page is kunmap'd, its mapping (and cache) remains in place
in case it is kmap'd again. However if dma_map_page() is then called with
such a page, some cache maintenance on the remaining mapping must be
performed. In that case, page_address(page) is non null and we can use
that to synchronize the cache.
It is unlikely but still possible for kmap() to race and recycle the
virtual address obtained above, and use it for another page before some
on-going cache invalidation loop in dma_map_page() is done. In that case,
the new mapping could end up with dirty cache lines for another page,
and the unsuspecting cache invalidation loop in dma_map_page() might
simply discard those dirty cache lines resulting in data loss.
For example, let's consider this sequence of events:
- dma_map_page(..., DMA_FROM_DEVICE) is called on a highmem page.
--> - vaddr = page_address(page) is non null. In this case
it is likely that the page has valid cache lines
associated with vaddr. Remember that the cache is VIVT.
--> for (i = vaddr; i < vaddr + PAGE_SIZE; i += 32)
invalidate_cache_line(i);
*** preemption occurs in the middle of the loop above ***
- kmap_high() is called for a different page.
--> - last_pkmap_nr wraps to zero and flush_all_zero_pkmaps()
is called. The pkmap_count value for the page passed
to dma_map_page() above happens to be 1, so the page
is unmapped. But prior to that, flush_cache_kmaps()
cleared the cache for it. So far so good.
- A fresh pkmap entry is assigned for this kmap request.
The Murphy law says this pkmap entry will eventually
happen to use the same vaddr as the one which used to
belong to the other page being processed by
dma_map_page() in the preempted thread above.
- The kmap_high() caller start dirtying the cache using the
just assigned virtual mapping for its page.
*** the first thread is rescheduled ***
- The for(...) loop is resumed, but now cached
data belonging to a different physical page is
being discarded !
And this is not only a preemption issue as ARM can be SMP as well,
making the above scenario just as likely. Hence the need for some kind
of pkmap page pinning which can be used in any context, primarily for
the benefit of dma_map_page() on ARM.
This provides the necessary interface to cope with the above issue if
ARCH_NEEDS_KMAP_HIGH_GET is defined, otherwise the resulting code is
unchanged.

Impact: fix deadlock and allow atomic free
Percpu allocation always uses GFP_KERNEL and whole alloc/free paths
were protected by single mutex. All percpu allocations have been from
GFP_KERNEL-safe context and the original allocator had this assumption
too. However, by protecting both alloc and free paths with the same
mutex, the new allocator creates free -> alloc -> GFP_KERNEL
dependency which the original allocator didn't have. This can lead to
deadlock if free is called from FS or IO paths. Also, in general,
allocators are expected to allow free to be called from atomic
context.
This patch implements finer grained locking to break the deadlock and
allow atomic free. For details, please read the "Synchronization
rules" comment.
While at it, also add CONTEXT: to function comments to describe which
context they expect to be called from and what they do to it.

With this change, pcpu_alloc_area() does only area allocation and the
only failure mode is when the chunk doens't have enough room, so
there's no need to distinguish it from memory allocation failures.
Make it return -1 on such cases instead of hacky -ENOSPC.

Impact: add reserved allocation functionality and use it for module
percpu variables
This patch implements reserved allocation from the first chunk. When
setting up the first chunk, arch can ask to set aside certain number
of bytes right after the core static area which is available only
through a separate reserved allocator. This will be used primarily
for module static percpu variables on architectures with limited
relocation range to ensure that the module perpcu symbols are inside
the relocatable range.
If reserved area is requested, the first chunk becomes reserved and
isn't available for regular allocation. If the first chunk also
includes piggy-back dynamic allocation area, a separate chunk mapping
the same region is created to serve dynamic allocation. The first one
is called static first chunk and the second dynamic first chunk.
Although they share the page map, their different area map
initializations guarantee they serve disjoint areas according to their
purposes.
If arch doesn't setup reserved area, reserved allocation is handled
like any other allocation.

Impact: argument semantic cleanup
In pcpu_setup_first_chunk(), zero @unit_size and @dyn_size meant
auto-sizing. It's okay for @unit_size as 0 doesn't make sense but 0
dynamic reserve size is valid. Alos, if arch @dyn_size is calculated
from other parameters, it might end up passing in 0 @dyn_size and
malfunction when the size is automatically adjusted.
This patch makes both @unit_size and @dyn_size ssize_t and use -1 for
auto sizing.

Impact: no functional change
When the first chunk is created, its initial area map is not allocated
because kmalloc isn't online yet. The map is allocated and
initialized on the first allocation request on the chunk. This works
fine but the scattering of initialization logic between the init
function and allocation path is a bit confusing.
This patch makes the first chunk initialize and use minimal statically
allocated map from pcpu_setpu_first_chunk(). The map resizing path
still needs to handle this specially but it's more straight-forward
and gives more latitude to the init path. This will ease future
changes.

Impact: standardize IO on cached ops
On modern CPUs it is almost always a bad idea to use non-temporal stores,
as the regression in this commit has shown it:
30d697f: x86: fix performance regression in write() syscall
The kernel simply has no good information about whether using non-temporal
stores is a good idea or not - and trying to add heuristics only increases
complexity and inserts fragility.
The regression on cached write()s took very long to be found - over two
years. So dont take any chances and let the hardware decide how it makes
use of its caches.
The only exception is drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c: there were we are
absolutely sure that another entity (the GPU) will pick up the dirty
data immediately and that the CPU will not touch that data before the
GPU will.
Also, keep the _nocache() primitives to make it easier for people to
experiment with these details. There may be more clear-cut cases where
non-cached copies can be used, outside of filemap.c.

Impact: fix new breakages introduced by previous fix
Commit c132937556 tried to clean up
bootmem arch wrapper but it wasn't quite correct. Before the commit,
the followings were broken.
* Low level interface functions prefixed with __ ignored arch
preference.
* reserve_bootmem(...) can't be mapped into
reserve_bootmem_node(NODE_DATA(0)->bdata, ...) because the node is
not preference here. The region specified MUST fall into the
specified region; otherwise, it will panic.
After the commit,
* If allocation fails for the arch preferred node, it should fallback
to whatever is available. Instead, it simply failed allocation.
There are too many internal details to allow generic wrapping and
still keep things simple for archs. Plus, all that arch wants is a
way to prefer certain node over another.
This patch drops the generic wrapping around alloc_bootmem_core() and
add alloc_bootmem_core() instead. If necessary, arch can define
bootmem_arch_referred_node() macro or function which takes all
allocation information and returns the preferred node. bootmem
generic code will always try the preferred node first and then
fallback to other nodes as usual.

Each time I exit Firefox, /proc/meminfo's Committed_AS goes down almost

Commit fc8744adc8 "Stop playing silly
games with the VM_ACCOUNT flag" changed shmem_file_setup() to set the
shmem file's VM_ACCOUNT flag according to VM_NORESERVE not being set in
the vma flags; but did so only _after_ the shmem_acct_size(flags, size)
call which is expected to pre-account a shared anonymous object.
It's all clearer if we switch shmem.c over to use VM_NORESERVE
throughout in place of !VM_ACCOUNT.
But I very nearly sent in a patch which mistakenly removed the
accounting from tmpfs files: shmem_get_inode()'s memset was good for not
setting VM_ACCOUNT, but now it needs to set VM_NORESERVE.
Rather than setting that by default, then perhaps clearing it again in
shmem_file_setup(), let's pass it as a flag to shmem_get_inode(): that
allows us to remove the #ifdef CONFIG_SHMEM from shmem_file_setup().

Impact: more latitude for first percpu chunk allocation
The first percpu chunk serves the kernel static percpu area and may or
may not contain extra room for further dynamic allocation.
Initialization of the first chunk needs to be done before normal
memory allocation service is up, so it has its own init path -
pcpu_setup_static().
It seems archs need more latitude while initializing the first chunk
for example to take advantage of large page mapping. This patch makes
the following changes to allow this.
* Define PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE to give arch hint about how much space
to reserve in the first chunk for further dynamic allocation.
* Rename pcpu_setup_static() to pcpu_setup_first_chunk().
* Make pcpu_setup_first_chunk() much more flexible by fetching page
pointer by callback and adding optional @unit_size, @free_size and
@base_addr arguments which allow archs to selectively part of chunk
initialization to their likings.

Impact: allow unit_size to be arbitrary multiple of PAGE_SIZE
In dynamic percpu allocator, there is no reason the unit size should

As non-power-of-two unit size means that empty chunks fall into the

Reserve an extra slot for empty chunks.

Impact: cleaner and consistent bootmem wrapping
By setting CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM_NODE, archs can define
arch-specific wrappers for bootmem allocation. However, this is done
a bit strangely in that only the high level convenience macros can be
changed while lower level, but still exported, interface functions
can't be wrapped. This not only is messy but also leads to strange
situation where alloc_bootmem() does what the arch wants it to do but
the equivalent __alloc_bootmem() call doesn't although they should be
able to be used interchangeably.
This patch updates bootmem such that archs can override / wrap the
backend function - alloc_bootmem_core() instead of the highlevel
interface functions to allow simpler and consistent wrapping. Also,
HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM_NODE is renamed to HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM.

Now that a cache's min_partial has been moved to struct kmem_cache, it's
possible to easily tune it from userspace by adding a sysfs attribute.
It may not be desirable to keep a large number of partial slabs around
if a cache is used infrequently and memory, especially when constrained
by a cgroup, is scarce. It's better to allow userspace to set the
minimum policy per cache instead of relying explicitly on
kmem_cache_shrink().
The memory savings from simply moving min_partial from struct
kmem_cache_node to struct kmem_cache is obviously not significant
(unless maybe you're from SGI or something), at the largest it's
# allocated caches * (MAX_NUMNODES - 1) * sizeof(unsigned long)
The true savings occurs when userspace reduces the number of partial
slabs that would otherwise be wasted, especially on machines with a
large number of nodes (ia64 with CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT at 10 for default?).
As well as the kernel estimates ideal values for n->min_partial and
ensures it's within a sane range, userspace has no other input other
than writing to /sys/kernel/slab/cache/shrink.
There simply isn't any better heuristic to add when calculating the
partial values for a better estimate that works for all possible caches.
And since it's currently a static value, the user really has no way of
reclaiming that wasted space, which can be significant when constrained
by a cgroup (either cpusets or, later, memory controller slab limits)
without shrinking it entirely.
This also allows the user to specify that increased fragmentation and
more partial slabs are actually desired to avoid the cost of allocating
new slabs at runtime for specific caches.
There's also no reason why this should be a per-struct kmem_cache_node
value in the first place. You could argue that a machine would have
such node size asymmetries that it should be specified on a per-node
basis, but we know nobody is doing that right now since it's a purely
static value at the moment and there's no convenient way to tune that
via slub's sysfs interface.

The image writing code dropped a reference to the current swap device.
This doesn't show up if the hibernation succeeds - because it doesn't
affect the image which gets resumed. But it means multiple _failed_
hibernations end up freeing the swap device while it is still use!
swsusp_write() finds the block device for the swap file using swap_type_of().
It then uses blkdev_get() / blkdev_put() to open and close the block device.
Unfortunately, blkdev_get() assumes ownership of the inode of the block_device
passed to it. So blkdev_put() calls iput() on the inode. This is by design
and other callers expect this behaviour. The fix is for swap_type_of() to take
a reference on the inode using bdget().

kzfree() is a wrapper for kfree() that additionally zeroes the underlying
memory before releasing it to the slab allocator.
Currently there is code which memset()s the memory region of an object
before releasing it back to the slab allocator to make sure
security-sensitive data are really zeroed out after use.
These callsites can then just use kzfree() which saves some code, makes
users greppable and allows for a stupid destructor that isn't necessarily
aware of the actual object size.
