cc80d15de2 mm/page_alloc.c: use '__paginginit' instead of '__init'
set_pageblock_order() may be called when memory hotplug, so need use
'__paginginit' instead of '__init'.

The related warning:

  The function __meminit .free_area_init_node() references
  a function __init .set_pageblock_order().
  If .set_pageblock_order is only used by .free_area_init_node then
  annotate .set_pageblock_order with a matching annotation.

7655f8554e OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM suspend
commit 5695be142e upstream.

PM freezer relies on having all tasks frozen by the time devices are
getting frozen so that no task will touch them while they are getting
frozen. But OOM killer is allowed to kill an already frozen task in
order to handle OOM situtation. In order to protect from late wake ups
OOM killer is disabled after all tasks are frozen. This, however, still
keeps a window open when a killed task didn't manage to die by the time
freeze_processes finishes.

Reduce the race window by checking all tasks after OOM killer has been
disabled. This is still not race free completely unfortunately because
oom_killer_disable cannot stop an already ongoing OOM killer so a task
might still wake up from the fridge and get killed without
freeze_processes noticing. Full synchronization of OOM and freezer is,
however, too heavy weight for this highly unlikely case.

Introduce and check oom_kills counter which gets incremented early when
the allocator enters __alloc_pages_may_oom path and only check all the
tasks if the counter changes during the freezing attempt. The counter
is updated so early to reduce the race window since allocator checked
oom_killer_disabled which is set by PM-freezing code. A false positive
will push the PM-freezer into a slow path but that is not a big deal.

Changes since v1
- push the re-check loop out of freeze_processes into
  check_frozen_processes and invert the condition to make the code more
  readable as per Rafael

7f6c1deb02 mm, thp: do not allow thp faults to avoid cpuset restrictions
commit b104a35d32 upstream.

The page allocator relies on __GFP_WAIT to determine if ALLOC_CPUSET
should be set in allocflags.  ALLOC_CPUSET controls if a page allocation
should be restricted only to the set of allowed cpuset mems.

Transparent hugepages clears __GFP_WAIT when defrag is disabled to prevent
the fault path from using memory compaction or direct reclaim.  Thus, it
is unfairly able to allocate outside of its cpuset mems restriction as a
side-effect.

This patch ensures that ALLOC_CPUSET is only cleared when the gfp mask is
truly GFP_ATOMIC by verifying it is also not a thp allocation.

3fea8b0a9f mm: setup pageblock_order before it's used by sparsemem
commit ca57df79d4 upstream.

On architectures with CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE set, such as
Itanium, pageblock_order is a variable with default value of 0.  It's set
to the right value by set_pageblock_order() in function
free_area_init_core().

But pageblock_order may be used by sparse_init() before free_area_init_core()
is called along path:
sparse_init()
    ->sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_node()
	->usemap_size()
	    ->SECTION_BLOCKFLAGS_BITS
		->((1UL << (PFN_SECTION_SHIFT - pageblock_order)) *
NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS)

The uninitialized pageblock_size will cause memory wasting because
usemap_size() returns a much bigger value then it's really needed.

For example, on an Itanium platform,
sparse_init() pageblock_order=0 usemap_size=24576
free_area_init_core() before pageblock_order=0, usemap_size=24576
free_area_init_core() after pageblock_order=12, usemap_size=8

That means 24K memory has been wasted for each section, so fix it by calling
set_pageblock_order() from sparse_init().

237597d8f7 mm/page_alloc.c: remove pageblock_default_order()
commit 955c1cd740 upstream.

This has always been broken: one version takes an unsigned int and the
other version takes no arguments.  This bug was hidden because one
version of set_pageblock_order() was a macro which doesn't evaluate its
argument.

Simplify it all and remove pageblock_default_order() altogether.

022a41db8a mm, show_mem: suppress page counts in non-blockable contexts
commit 4b59e6c473 upstream.

On large systems with a lot of memory, walking all RAM to determine page
types may take a half second or even more.

In non-blockable contexts, the page allocator will emit a page allocation
failure warning unless __GFP_NOWARN is specified.  In such contexts, irqs
are typically disabled and such a lengthy delay may even result in NMI
watchdog timeouts.

To fix this, suppress the page walk in such contexts when printing the
page allocation failure warning.

        mm: Retry original migrate type if CMA failed

        Currently, __rmqueue_cma will disregard the original migrate type
        and only try MIGRATE_CMA for allocations. If the MIGRATE_CMA
        allocation fails, the fallback types of the original migrate type
        are used. Note that in this current path we never try to actually
        allocate from the original migrate type. If the only pages left
        in the system are the original migrate type, we will fail the
        allocation since we never actually try the original migrate type.
        This may lead to infinite looping since the system still (correctly)
        calculates there are pages available for allocation and will keep
        trying to allocate pages. Fix this degenerate case by allocating
        from the original migrate type if the MIGRATE_CMA allocation fails.

262de8b688 cma: redirect page allocation to CMA
CMA pages are designed to be used as fallback for movable allocations
and cannot be used for non-movable allocations. If CMA pages are
utilized poorly, non-movable allocations may end up getting starved if
all regular movable pages are allocated and the only pages left are
CMA. Always using CMA pages first creates unacceptable performance
problems. As a midway alternative, use CMA pages for certain
userspace allocations. The userspace pages can be migrated or dropped
quickly which giving decent utilization.

2390206ce0 Revert "mm: cma: on movable allocations try MIGRATE_CMA first"
This reverts commit b5662d64fa5ee483b985b351dec993402422fee3.

Using CMA pages first creates good utilization but has some
unfortunate side effects. Many movable allocations come from
the filesystem layer which can hold on to pages for long periods
of time which causes high allocation times (~200ms) and high
rates of failure. Revert this patch and use alternate allocation
strategies to get better utilization.

ee57020c2b mm: Don't put CMA pages on per cpu lists
CMA allocations rely on being able to migrate pages out
quickly to fulfill the allocations. Most use cases for
movable allocations meet this requirement. File system
allocations may take an unaccpetably long time to
migrate, which creates delays from CMA. Prevent CMA
pages from ending up on the per-cpu lists to avoid
code paths grabbing CMA pages on the fast path. CMA
pages can still be allocated as a fallback under tight
memory pressure.

204a535e11 mm: show migration types in show_mem
This is useful to diagnose the reason for page allocation failure for
cases where there appear to be several free pages.

Example, with this alloc_pages(GFP_ATOMIC) failure:

 swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0x0
 ...
 Mem-info:
 Normal per-cpu:
 CPU    0: hi:   90, btch:  15 usd:  48
 CPU    1: hi:   90, btch:  15 usd:  21
 active_anon:0 inactive_anon:0 isolated_anon:0
  active_file:0 inactive_file:84 isolated_file:0
  unevictable:0 dirty:0 writeback:0 unstable:0
  free:4026 slab_reclaimable:75 slab_unreclaimable:484
  mapped:0 shmem:0 pagetables:0 bounce:0
 Normal free:16104kB min:2296kB low:2868kB high:3444kB active_anon:0kB
 inactive_anon:0kB active_file:0kB inactive_file:336kB unevictable:0kB
 isolated(anon):0kB isolated(file):0kB present:331776kB mlocked:0kB
 dirty:0kB writeback:0kB mapped:0kB shmem:0kB slab_reclaimable:300kB

 bounce:0kB writeback_tmp:0kB pages_scanned:0 all_unreclaimable? no
 lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0

Before the patch, it's hard (for me, at least) to say why all these free
chunks weren't considered for allocation:

 Normal: 0*4kB 0*8kB 0*16kB 0*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 1*256kB 1*512kB
 1*1024kB 1*2048kB 3*4096kB = 16128kB

After the patch, it's obvious that the reason is that all of these are
in the MIGRATE_CMA (C) freelist:

 Normal: 0*4kB 0*8kB 0*16kB 0*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 1*256kB (C) 1*512kB
 (C) 1*1024kB (C) 1*2048kB (C) 3*4096kB (C) = 16128kB

a1357d5f1b mm: cma: on movable allocations try MIGRATE_CMA first
It has been observed that system tends to keep a lot of CMA free pages
even in very high memory pressure use cases.  The CMA fallback for
movable pages is used very rarely, only when system is completely
pruned from MOVABLE pages.  This means that the out-of-memory is
triggered for unmovable allocations even when there are many CMA pages
available.  This problem was not observed previously since movable
pages were used as a fallback for unmovable allocations.

To avoid such situation this commit changes the allocation order so
that on movable allocations the MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks are used first.

This change means that the MIGRATE_CMA can be removed from fallback
path of the MIGRATE_MOVABLE type.  This means that the
__rmqueue_fallback() function will never deal with CMA pages and thus
all the checks around MIGRATE_CMA can be removed from that function.

CMA pages which are not suitable to satisfy certain memory
requests.

This large number of unsuitable pages can cause the
lowmemorykiller to not kill any tasks because the
lowmemorykiller counts all free pages.
In order to ensure the lowmemorykiller properly evaluates the
free memory only count the free CMA pages if they are suitable
for satisfying the memory request.

3c2b534580 mm: Use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx calculation

This means that calling {get,set}_pageblock_migratetype on a single

rounding down zone_start_pfn when doing the bitidx calculation.

200d9f6ddf cma : use migrate_prep() instead of migrate_prep_local()
__alloc_contig_migrate_range() should use all possible ways to get all the
pages migrated from the given memory range, so pruning per-cpu lru lists
for all CPUs is required, regadless the cost of such operation. Otherwise
some pages which got stuck at per-cpu lru list might get missed by
migration procedure causing the contiguous allocation to fail.

17c2f96bd1 mm: fix pageblock bitmap allocation
commit 7c45512df9 upstream.

Commit c060f943d0 ("mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx
calculation") fixed out calculation of the index into the pageblock
bitmap when a !SPARSEMEM zome was not aligned to pageblock_nr_pages.

However, the _allocation_ of that bitmap had never taken this alignment
requirement into accout, so depending on the exact size and alignment of
the zone, the use of that index could then access past the allocation,
resulting in some very subtle memory corruption.

This was reported (and bisected) by Ingo Molnar: one of his random
config builds would hang with certain very specific kernel command line
options.

In the meantime, commit c060f943d0 has been marked for stable, so this
fix needs to be back-ported to the stable kernels that backported the
commit to use the right alignment.

269a4c9264 mm: mmzone: MIGRATE_CMA migration type added
The MIGRATE_CMA migration type has two main characteristics:
(i) only movable pages can be allocated from MIGRATE_CMA
pageblocks and (ii) page allocator will never change migration
type of MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks.

This guarantees (to some degree) that page in a MIGRATE_CMA page
block can always be migrated somewhere else (unless there's no
memory left in the system).

It is designed to be used for allocating big chunks (eg. 10MiB)
of physically contiguous memory.  Once driver requests
contiguous memory, pages from MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks may be
migrated away to create a contiguous block.

To minimise number of migrations, MIGRATE_CMA migration type
is the last type tried when page allocator falls back to other
migration types when requested.

f6e34be773 mm: Add total_unmovable_pages global variable
Vmalloc will exit if the amount it needs to allocate is
greater than totalram_pages. Vmalloc cannot allocate
from the movable zone, so pages in the movable zone should
not be counted.

This change adds a new global variable: total_unmovable_pages.
It is calculated in init.c, based on totalram_pages minus
the pages in the movable zone. Vmalloc now looks at this new
global instead of totalram_pages.

total_unmovable_pages can be modified during memory_hotplug.
If the zone you are offlining/onlining is unmovable, then
you modify it similar to totalram_pages.  If the zone is
movable, then no change is needed.

ce19422296 mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx calculation
commit c060f943d0 upstream.

The current calculation in pfn_to_bitidx assumes that (pfn -
zone->zone_start_pfn) >> pageblock_order will return the same bit for
all pfn in a pageblock.  If zone_start_pfn is not aligned to
pageblock_nr_pages, this may not always be correct.

Consider the following with pageblock order = 10, zone start 2MB:

  pfn     | pfn - zone start | (pfn - zone start) >> page block order
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  0x26000 | 0x25e00	   |  0x97
  0x26100 | 0x25f00	   |  0x97
  0x26200 | 0x26000	   |  0x98
  0x26300 | 0x26100	   |  0x98

This means that calling {get,set}_pageblock_migratetype on a single page
will not set the migratetype for the full block.  Fix this by rounding
down zone_start_pfn when doing the bitidx calculation.

For our use case, the effects of this bug were mostly tied to the fact
that CMA allocations would either take a long time or fail to happen.
Depending on the driver using CMA, this could result in anything from
visual glitches to application failures.

aa7994f281 mm/page_alloc: fix the page address of higher page's buddy calculation
commit 0ba8f2d593 upstream.

The heuristic method for buddy has been introduced since commit
43506fad21 ("mm/page_alloc.c: simplify calculation of combined index
of adjacent buddy lists").  But the page address of higher page's buddy
was wrongly calculated, which will lead page_is_buddy to fail for ever.
IOW, the heuristic method would be disabled with the wrong page address
of higher page's buddy.

Calculating the page address of higher page's buddy should be based
higher_page with the offset between index of higher page and index of
higher page's buddy.

cde8949795 mm: Add min_free_order_shift tunable.
By default the kernel tries to keep half as much memory free at each
order as it does for one order below. This can be too agressive when
running without swap.

74046494ea mm: only IPI CPUs to drain local pages if they exist
Calculate a cpumask of CPUs with per-cpu pages in any zone and only send
an IPI requesting CPUs to drain these pages to the buddy allocator if they
actually have pages when asked to flush.

This patch saves 85%+ of IPIs asking to drain per-cpu pages in case of
severe memory pressure that leads to OOM since in these cases multiple,
possibly concurrent, allocation requests end up in the direct reclaim code
path so when the per-cpu pages end up reclaimed on first allocation
failure for most of the proceeding allocation attempts until the memory
pressure is off (possibly via the OOM killer) there are no per-cpu pages
on most CPUs (and there can easily be hundreds of them).

This also has the side effect of shortening the average latency of direct
reclaim by 1 or more order of magnitude since waiting for all the CPUs to
ACK the IPI takes a long time.

Tested by running "hackbench 400" on a 8 CPU x86 VM and observing the
difference between the number of direct reclaim attempts that end up in
drain_all_pages() and those were more then 1/2 of the online CPU had any
per-cpu page in them, using the vmstat counters introduced in the next
patch in the series and using proc/interrupts.

In the test sceanrio, this was seen to save around 3600 global
IPIs after trigerring an OOM on a concurrent workload:

$ cat /proc/vmstat | tail -n 2
pcp_global_drain 0
pcp_global_ipi_saved 0

$ cat /proc/interrupts | grep CAL
CAL:          1          2          1          2
          2          2          2          2   Function call interrupts

$ hackbench 400
[OOM messages snipped]

$ cat /proc/vmstat | tail -n 2
pcp_global_drain 3647
pcp_global_ipi_saved 3642

$ cat /proc/interrupts | grep CAL
CAL:          6         13          6          3
          3          3         1 2          7   Function call interrupts

Please note that if the global drain is removed from the direct reclaim
path as a patch from Mel Gorman currently suggests this should be replaced
with an on_each_cpu_cond invocation.

29fd66d289 mm, coredump: fail allocations when coredumping instead of oom killing
The size of coredump files is limited by RLIMIT_CORE, however, allocating
large amounts of memory results in three negative consequences:

 - the coredumping process may be chosen for oom kill and quickly deplete
   all memory reserves in oom conditions preventing further progress from
   being made or tasks from exiting,

 - the coredumping process may cause other processes to be oom killed
   without fault of their own as the result of a SIGSEGV, for example, in
   the coredumping process, or

 - the coredumping process may result in a livelock while writing to the
   dump file if it needs memory to allocate while other threads are in
   the exit path waiting on the coredumper to complete.

This is fixed by implying __GFP_NORETRY in the page allocator for
coredumping processes when reclaim has failed so the allocations fail and
the process continues to exit.

cc9a6c8776 cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3
Commit c0ff7453bb ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when
changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of
memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit.

[get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory
barriers inserted into a number of hot paths.  This was detected while
investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time
after 2.6.32.  The largest portion of this overhead was shown by
oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page
allocator hot path.

For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an
implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex.

This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write
sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path
side.  This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86.  The
main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a
manner that can cause a false failure.

While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure
is a risk.  If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel
allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place.

In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from
__alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%.  The
actual results were

    Total Elapsed Time (seconds)                123.46    120.87

The overall improvement is small but the System CPU time is much
improved and roughly in correlation to what oprofile reported (these
performance figures are without profiling so skew is expected).  The
actual number of page faults is noticeably improved.

For benchmarks like kernel builds, the overall benefit is marginal but
the system CPU time is slightly reduced.

To test the actual bug the commit fixed I opened two terminals.  The
first ran within a cpuset and continually ran a small program that
faulted 100M of anonymous data.  In a second window, the nodemask of the
cpuset was continually randomised in a loop.

Without the commit, the program would fail every so often (usually
within 10 seconds) and obviously with the commit everything worked fine.
With this patch applied, it also worked fine so the fix should be
functionally equivalent.

f0cb3c76ae mm: drain percpu lru add/rotate page-vectors on cpu hot-unplug
This cpu hotplug hook was accidentally removed in commit 00a62ce91e
("mm: fix Committed_AS underflow on large NR_CPUS environment")

The visible effect of this accident: some pages are borrowed in per-cpu
page-vectors.  Truncate can deal with it, but these pages cannot be
reused while this cpu is offline.  So this is like a temporary memory
leak.

08ab9b10d4 mm, oom: force oom kill on sysrq+f
The oom killer chooses not to kill a thread if:

 - an eligible thread has already been oom killed and has yet to exit,
   and

 - an eligible thread is exiting but has yet to free all its memory and
   is not the thread attempting to currently allocate memory.

SysRq+F manually invokes the global oom killer to kill a memory-hogging
task.  This is normally done as a last resort to free memory when no
progress is being made or to test the oom killer itself.

For both uses, we always want to kill a thread and never defer.  This
patch causes SysRq+F to always kill an eligible thread and can be used to
force a kill even if another oom killed thread has failed to exit.
