The zone list code clearly cannot tolerate concurrent writers (I couldn't
find any locks for that), so simply add a global mutex. No need for RCU

Memory balloon drivers can allocate a large amount of memory which is not
movable but could be freed to accomodate memory hotplug remove.
Prior to calling the memory hotplug notifier chain the memory in the
pageblock is isolated. Currently, if the migrate type is not
MIGRATE_MOVABLE the isolation will not proceed, causing the memory removal
for that page range to fail.
Rather than failing pageblock isolation if the migrateteype is not
MIGRATE_MOVABLE, this patch checks if all of the pages in the pageblock,
and not on the LRU, are owned by a registered balloon driver (or other
entity) using a notifier chain. If all of the non-movable pages are owned
by a balloon, they can be freed later through the memory notifier chain
and the range can still be isolated in set_migratetype_isolate().

I added blk_run_backing_dev on page_cache_async_readahead so readahead I/O
is unpluged to improve throughput on especially RAID environment.
The normal case is, if page N become uptodate at time T(N), then T(N) <=
T(N+1) holds. With RAID (and NFS to some degree), there is no strict
ordering, the data arrival time depends on runtime status of individual
disks, which breaks that formula. So in do_generic_file_read(), just
after submitting the async readahead IO request, the current page may well
be uptodate, so the page won't be locked, and the block device won't be
implicitly unplugged:
if (PageReadahead(page))
page_cache_async_readahead()
if (!PageUptodate(page))
goto page_not_up_to_date;
//...
page_not_up_to_date:
lock_page_killable(page);
Therefore explicit unplugging can help.
Following is the test result with dd.

Add a flags argument to struct xattr_handler and pass it to all xattr

handlers, e.g. for the ACL methods which perform exactly the same action
for the access and default ACLs, just using a different underlying
attribute. With a little more groundwork it'll also allow sharing the
methods for the regular user/trusted/secure handlers in extN, ocfs2 and
jffs2 like it's already done for xfs in this patch.
Also change the inode argument to the handlers to a dentry to allow
using the handlers mechnism for filesystems that require it later,
e.g. cifs.

memcg_tasklist was introduced at commit 7f4d454d(memcg: avoid deadlock
caused by race between oom and cpuset_attach) instead of cgroup_mutex to
fix a deadlock problem. The cgroup_mutex, which was removed by the
commit, in mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() was originally introduced at commit
c7ba5c9e (Memory controller: OOM handling).
IIUC, the intention of this cgroup_mutex was to prevent task move during
select_bad_process() so that situations like below can be avoided.
Assume cgroup "foo" has exceeded its limit and is about to trigger oom.
1. Process A, which has been in cgroup "baa" and uses large memory, is just
moved to cgroup "foo". Process A can be the candidates for being killed.
2. Process B, which has been in cgroup "foo" and uses large memory, is just
moved from cgroup "foo". Process B can be excluded from the candidates for
being killed.
But these race window exists anyway even if we hold a lock, because
__mem_cgroup_try_charge() decides wether it should trigger oom or not
outside of the lock. So the original cgroup_mutex in
mem_cgroup_out_of_memory and thus current memcg_tasklist has no use. And
IMHO, those races are not so critical for users.
This patch removes it and make codes simpler.

task_in_mem_cgroup(), which is called by select_bad_process() to check
whether a task can be a candidate for being oom-killed from memcg's limit,
checks "curr->use_hierarchy"("curr" is the mem_cgroup the task belongs
to).
But this check return true(it's false positive) when:
<some path>/aa use_hierarchy == 0 <- hitting limit
<some path>/aa/00 use_hierarchy == 1 <- the task belongs to
This leads to killing an innocent task in aa/00. This patch is a fix for
this bug. And this patch also fixes the arg for

mem_cgroup_move_parent() calls try_charge first and cancel_charge on

so we should avoid it as far as possible.
This patch tries to delay try_charge in mem_cgroup_move_parent() by
re-ordering checks it does.
And this patch renames mem_cgroup_move_account() to
__mem_cgroup_move_account(), changes the return value of
__mem_cgroup_move_account() from int to void, and adds a new
wrapper(mem_cgroup_move_account()), which checks whether a @pc is valid
for moving account and calls __mem_cgroup_move_account().
This patch removes the last caller of trylock_page_cgroup(), so removes

This is a patch for coalescing access to res_counter at charging by percpu
caching. At charge, memcg charges 64pages and remember it in percpu
cache. Because it's cache, drain/flush if necessary.
This version uses public percpu area.
2 benefits for using public percpu area.
1. Sum of stocked charge in the system is limited to # of cpus
not to the number of memcg. This shows better synchonization.
2. drain code for flush/cpuhotplug is very easy (and quick)
The most important point of this patch is that we never touch res_counter
in fast path. The res_counter is system-wide shared counter which is modified
very frequently. We shouldn't touch it as far as we can for avoiding
false sharing.
On x86-64 8cpu server, I tested overheads of memcg at page fault by
running a program which does map/fault/unmap in a loop. Running
a task per a cpu by taskset and see sum of the number of page faults
in 60secs.

In massive parallel enviroment, res_counter can be a performance
bottleneck. One strong techinque to reduce lock contention is reducing
calls by coalescing some amount of calls into one.
Considering charge/uncharge chatacteristic,
- charge is done one by one via demand-paging.
- uncharge is done by
- in chunk at munmap, truncate, exit, execve...
- one by one via vmscan/paging.
It seems we have a chance to coalesce uncharges for improving scalability
at unmap/truncation.
This patch is a for coalescing uncharge. For avoiding scattering memcg's
structure to functions under /mm, this patch adds memcg batch uncharge
information to the task. A reason for per-task batching is for making use
of caller's context information. We do batched uncharge (deleyed
uncharge) when truncation/unmap occurs but do direct uncharge when
uncharge is called by memory reclaim (vmscan.c).
The degree of coalescing depends on callers
- at invalidate/trucate... pagevec size
- at unmap ....ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE
(memory itself will be freed in this degree.)
Then, we'll not coalescing too much.

A memory cgroup has a memory.memsw.usage_in_bytes file. It shows the sum
of the usage of pages and swapents in the cgroup. Presently the root
cgroup's memsw.usage_in_bytes shows the wrong value - the number of
swapents are not added.
So take MEM_CGROUP_STAT_SWAPOUT into account.

Fix node-oriented allocation handling in oom-kill.c I myself think of this
as a bugfix not as an ehnancement.
In these days, things are changed as
- alloc_pages() eats nodemask as its arguments, __alloc_pages_nodemask().
- mempolicy don't maintain its own private zonelists.
(And cpuset doesn't use nodemask for __alloc_pages_nodemask())
So, current oom-killer's check function is wrong.
This patch does
- check nodemask, if nodemask && nodemask doesn't cover all
node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY], this is CONSTRAINT_MEMORY_POLICY.
- Scan all zonelist under nodemask, if it hits cpuset's wall
this faiulre is from cpuset.
And
- modifies the caller of out_of_memory not to call oom if __GFP_THISNODE.
This doesn't change "current" behavior. If callers use __GFP_THISNODE
it should handle "page allocation failure" by itself.
- handle __GFP_NOFAIL+__GFP_THISNODE path.
This is something like a FIXME but this gfpmask is not used now.

Process based injection is much easier to handle for test programs,
who can first bring a page into a specific state and then test.
So add a new MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE to soft offline a page, similar
to the existing hard offline injector.
Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>
This is a simpler, gentler variant of memory_failure() for soft page
offlining controlled from user space. It doesn't kill anything, just
tries to invalidate and if that doesn't work migrate the
page away.
This is useful for predictive failure analysis, where a page has
a high rate of corrected errors, but hasn't gone bad yet. Instead
it can be offlined early and avoided.
The offlining is controlled from sysfs, including a new generic
entry point for hard page offlining for symmetry too.
We use the page isolate facility to prevent re-allocation
race. Normally this is only used by memory hotplug. To avoid
races with memory allocation I am using lock_system_sleep().
This avoids the situation where memory hotplug is about
to isolate a page range and then hwpoison undoes that work.
This is a big hammer currently, but the simplest solution
currently.
When the page is not free or LRU we try to free pages
from slab and other caches. The slab freeing is currently
quite dumb and does not try to focus on the specific slab
cache which might own the page. This could be potentially
improved later.
Thanks to Fengguang Wu and Haicheng Li for some fixes.

shake_page handles more types of page caches than
the much simpler lru_add_drain_all:
- slab (quite inefficiently for now)
- any other caches with a shrinker callback
- per cpu page allocator pages
- per CPU LRU
Use this call to try to turn pages into free or LRU pages.
Then handle the case of the page becoming free after drain everything.

The previous version didn't take the mmap_sem before calling gup(),
which is racy.
Use get_user_pages_fast() instead which doesn't need any locks.
This is also faster of course, but then it doesn't really matter
because this is just a testing path.

In some use cases, user doesn't need extra filtering. E.g. user program
can inject errors through madvise syscall to its own pages, however it
might not know what the page state exactly is or which inode the page
belongs to.
So introduce an one-off interface "corrupt-filter-enable".
Echo 0 to switch off page filters, and echo 1 to switch on the filters.

The hwpoison test suite need to inject hwpoison to a collection of
selected task pages, and must not touch pages not owned by them and
thus kill important system processes such as init. (But it's OK to
mis-hwpoison free/unowned pages as well as shared clean pages.
Mis-hwpoison of shared dirty pages will kill all tasks, so the test
suite will target all or non of such tasks in the first place.)
The memory cgroup serves this purpose well. We can put the target
processes under the control of a memory cgroup, and tell the hwpoison
injection code to only kill pages associated with some active memory
cgroup.
The prerequisite for doing hwpoison stress tests with mem_cgroup is,
the mem_cgroup code tracks task pages _accurately_ (unless page is
locked). Which we believe is/should be true.
The benefits are simplification of hwpoison injector code. Also the
mem_cgroup code will automatically be tested by hwpoison test cases.
The alternative interfaces pin-pfn/unpin-pfn can also delegate the
(process and page flags) filtering functions reliably to user space.
However prototype implementation shows that this scheme adds more
complexity than we wanted.
Example test case:
mkdir /cgroup/hwpoison
usemem -m 100 -s 1000 &
echo `jobs -p` > /cgroup/hwpoison/tasks
memcg_ino=$(ls -id /cgroup/hwpoison | cut -f1 -d' ')
echo $memcg_ino > /debug/hwpoison/corrupt-filter-memcg
page-types -p `pidof init` --hwpoison # shall do nothing
page-types -p `pidof usemem` --hwpoison # poison its pages

When specified, only poison pages if ((page_flags & mask) == value).
- corrupt-filter-flags-mask
- corrupt-filter-flags-value
This allows stress testing of many kinds of pages.
Strictly speaking, the buddy pages requires taking zone lock, to avoid
setting PG_hwpoison on a "was buddy but now allocated to someone" page.
However we can just do nothing because we set PG_locked in the beginning,
this prevents the page allocator from allocating it to someone. (It will
BUG() on the unexpected PG_locked, which is fine for hwpoison testing.)

__memory_failure()'s workflow is
set PG_hwpoison
//...
unset PG_hwpoison if didn't pass hwpoison filter
That could kill unrelated process if it happens to page fault on the
page with the (temporary) PG_hwpoison. The race should be big enough to
appear in stress tests.
Fix it by grabbing the page and checking filter at inject time. This
also avoids the very noisy "Injecting memory failure..." messages.
- we don't touch madvise() based injection, because the filters are
generally not necessary for it.
- if we want to apply the filters to h/w aided injection, we'd better to
rearrange the logic in __memory_failure() instead of this patch.

Filesystem data/metadata present the most tricky-to-isolate pages.
It requires careful code review and stress testing to get them right.
The fs/device filter helps to target the stress tests to some specific
filesystem pages. The filter condition is block device's major/minor
numbers:
- corrupt-filter-dev-major
- corrupt-filter-dev-minor
When specified (non -1), only page cache pages that belong to that
device will be poisoned.
The filters are checked reliably on the locked and refcounted page.

The unpoisoning interface is useful for stress testing tools to
reclaim poisoned pages (to prevent OOM)
There is no hardware level unpoisioning, so this
cannot be used for real memory errors, only for software injected errors.
Note that it may leak pages silently - those who have been removed from
LRU cache, but not isolated from page cache/swap cache at hwpoison time.
Especially the stress test of dirty swap cache pages shall reboot system
before exhausting memory.
