Zram has lived in staging for a LONG LONG time and have been
fixed/improved by many contributors so code is clean and stable now. Of
course, there are lots of product using zram in real practice.
The major TV companys have used zram as swap since two years ago and
recently our production team released android smart phone with zram
which is used as swap, too and recently Android Kitkat start to use zram
for small memory smart phone. And there was a report Google released
their ChromeOS with zram, too and cyanogenmod have been used zram long
time ago. And I heard some disto have used zram block device for tmpfs.
In addition, I saw many report from many other peoples. For example,
Lubuntu start to use it.
The benefit of zram is very clear. With my experience, one of the
benefit was to remove jitter of video application with backgroud memory
pressure. It would be effect of efficient memory usage by compression
but more issue is whether swap is there or not in the system. Recent
mobile platforms have used JAVA so there are many anonymous pages. But
embedded system normally are reluctant to use eMMC or SDCard as swap
because there is wear-leveling and latency issues so if we do not use
swap, it means we can't reclaim anoymous pages and at last, we could
encounter OOM kill. :(
Although we have real storage as swap, it was a problem, too. Because
it sometime ends up making system very unresponsible caused by slow swap
storage performance.
Quote from Luigi on Google
"Since Chrome OS was mentioned: the main reason why we don't use swap
to a disk (rotating or SSD) is because it doesn't degrade gracefully
and leads to a bad interactive experience. Generally we prefer to
manage RAM at a higher level, by transparently killing and restarting
processes. But we noticed that zram is fast enough to be competitive
with the latter, and it lets us make more efficient use of the
available RAM. " and he announced.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg57717.html
Other uses case is to use zram for block device. Zram is block device
so anyone can format the block device and mount on it so some guys on
the internet start zram as /var/tmp.
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-838198-start-0.html
Let's promote zram and enhance/maintain it instead of removing.

This patch moves zsmalloc under mm directory.
Before that, description will explain why we have needed custom
allocator.
Zsmalloc is a new slab-based memory allocator for storing compressed
pages. It is designed for low fragmentation and high allocation success
rate on large object, but <= PAGE_SIZE allocations.
zsmalloc differs from the kernel slab allocator in two primary ways to
achieve these design goals.
zsmalloc never requires high order page allocations to back slabs, or
"size classes" in zsmalloc terms. Instead it allows multiple
single-order pages to be stitched together into a "zspage" which backs
the slab. This allows for higher allocation success rate under memory
pressure.
Also, zsmalloc allows objects to span page boundaries within the zspage.
This allows for lower fragmentation than could be had with the kernel
slab allocator for objects between PAGE_SIZE/2 and PAGE_SIZE. With the
kernel slab allocator, if a page compresses to 60% of it original size,
the memory savings gained through compression is lost in fragmentation
because another object of the same size can't be stored in the leftover
space.
This ability to span pages results in zsmalloc allocations not being
directly addressable by the user. The user is given an
non-dereferencable handle in response to an allocation request. That
handle must be mapped, using zs_map_object(), which returns a pointer to
the mapped region that can be used. The mapping is necessary since the
object data may reside in two different noncontigious pages.
The zsmalloc fulfills the allocation needs for zram perfectly

Chris Mason reported a NULL pointer derefernence in generic_getxattr()
that was due to sb->s_xattr being NULL.
The reason is that the nfs #ifdef's for ACL support were misplaced, and
the nfs3 inode operations had the xattr operation pointers set up, even
though xattrs were not actually supported. As a result, the xattr code
was being called without the infrastructure having been set up.
Move the #ifdef's appropriately.

Commit 0abdd7a81b ("dma-debug: introduce debug_dma_assert_idle()") was
reworked to expand the overlap counter to the full range expressable by
3 tag bits, but it has a thinko in treating the overlap counter as a
pure reference count for the entry.
Instead of deleting when the reference-count drops to zero, we need to
delete when the overlap-count drops below zero. Also, when detecting
overflow we can just test the overlap-count > MAX rather than applying
special meaning to 0.

Commit 63d0f0a3c7 ("mm/readahead.c:do_readhead(): don't check for
->readpage") unintentionally made do_readahead return 0 for all valid
files regardless of whether readahead was supported, rather than the
expected -EINVAL. This gets forwarded on to userspace, and results in
sys_readahead appearing to succeed in cases that don't make sense (e.g.
when called on pipes or sockets). This issue is detected by the LTP
readahead01 testcase.
As the exact return value of force_page_cache_readahead is currently
never used, we can simplify it to return only 0 or -EINVAL (when
readpage or readpages is missing). With that in place we can simply
forward on the return value of force_page_cache_readahead in
do_readahead.
This patch performs said change, restoring the expected semantics.

Commit 309381feae ("mm: dump page when hitting a VM_BUG_ON using
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE") added a bunch of VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() calls.
But, most of the ones in the slub code are for _temporary_ 'struct
page's which are declared on the stack and likely have lots of gunk in
them. Dumping their contents out will just confuse folks looking at
bad_page() output. Plus, if we try to page_to_pfn() on them or
soemthing, we'll probably oops anyway.
Turn them back in to VM_BUG_ON()s.

On kmem_cache_create_memcg() error path we set 'err', but leave 's' (the
new cache ptr) undefined. The latter can be NULL if we could not
allocate the cache, or pointing to a freed area if we failed somewhere
later while trying to initialize it. Initially we checked 'err'
immediately before exiting the function and returned NULL if it was set
ignoring the value of 's':
out_unlock:
...
if (err) {
/* report error */
return NULL;
}
return s;
Recently this check was, in fact, broken by commit f717eb3abb ("slab:
do not panic if we fail to create memcg cache"), which turned it to:
out_unlock:
...
if (err && !memcg) {
/* report error */
return NULL;
}
return s;
As a result, if we are failing creating a cache for a memcg, we will
skip the check and return 's' that can contain crap. Obviously, commit
f717eb3abb intended not to return crap on error allocating a cache for
a memcg, but only to remove the error reporting in this case, so the
check should look like this:
out_unlock:
...
if (err) {
if (!memcg)
return NULL;
/* report error */
return NULL;
}
return s;

Change parameter types of s390's compat ipc syscall from unsigned long
to compat_ulong_t to enforce zero extension of these parameters.
This is not really a bug, since s390_ipc compat syscall is only a
wrapper to the generic compat_sys_ipc() syscall, which performs correct
zero and sign extension.
This was introduced with commit 56e41d3c5a ("merge compat sys_ipc
instances").

Commit d5dc77bfee ("consolidate compat lookup_dcookie()") coverted all
architectures to the new compat_sys_lookup_dcookie() syscall.
The "len" paramater of the new compat syscall must have the type
compat_size_t in order to enforce zero extension for architectures where
the ABI requires that the caller of a function performed zero and/or

We got a report that the pwritev syscall does not work correctly in
compat mode on s390.
It turned out that with commit 72ec35163f ("switch compat readv/writev
variants to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE") we lost the zero extension of a
couple of syscall parameters because the some parameter types haven't
been converted from unsigned long to compat_ulong_t.
This is needed for architectures where the ABI requires that the caller
of a function performed zero and/or sign extension to 64 bit of all
parameters.

The command line parsing takes place before jump labels are initialised
which generates a warning if numa_balancing= is specified and
CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL is set.
On older kernels before commit c4b2c0c5f6 ("static_key: WARN on usage
before jump_label_init was called") the kernel would have crashed. This
patch enables automatic numa balancing later in the initialisation
process if numa_balancing= is specified.

The VM is currently heavily tuned to avoid swapping. Whether that is
good or bad is a separate discussion, but as long as the VM won't swap
to make room for dirty cache, we can not consider anonymous pages when
calculating the amount of dirtyable memory, the baseline to which
dirty_background_ratio and dirty_ratio are applied.
A simple workload that occupies a significant size (40+%, depending on
memory layout, storage speeds etc.) of memory with anon/tmpfs pages and
uses the remainder for a streaming writer demonstrates this problem. In
that case, the actual cache pages are a small fraction of what is
considered dirtyable overall, which results in an relatively large
portion of the cache pages to be dirtied. As kswapd starts rotating
these, random tasks enter direct reclaim and stall on IO.
Only consider free pages and file pages dirtyable.

Tejun reported stuttering and latency spikes on a system where random
tasks would enter direct reclaim and get stuck on dirty pages. Around
50% of memory was occupied by tmpfs backed by an SSD, and another disk
(rotating) was reading and writing at max speed to shrink a partition.
: The problem was pretty ridiculous. It's a 8gig machine w/ one ssd and 10k
: rpm harddrive and I could reliably reproduce constant stuttering every
: several seconds for as long as buffered IO was going on on the hard drive
: either with tmpfs occupying somewhere above 4gig or a test program which
: allocates about the same amount of anon memory. Although swap usage was
: zero, turning off swap also made the problem go away too.
:
: The trigger conditions seem quite plausible - high anon memory usage w/
: heavy buffered IO and swap configured - and it's highly likely that this
: is happening in the wild too. (this can happen with copying large files
: to usb sticks too, right?)
This patch (of 2):
The dirty_balance_reserve is an approximation of the fraction of free
pages that the page allocator does not make available for page cache
allocations. As a result, it has to be taken into account when
calculating the amount of "dirtyable memory", the baseline to which
dirty_background_ratio and dirty_ratio are applied.
However, currently the reserve is subtracted from the sum of free and
reclaimable pages, which is non-sensical and leads to erroneous results
when the system is dominated by unreclaimable pages and the
dirty_balance_reserve is bigger than free+reclaimable. In that case, at
least the already allocated cache should be considered dirtyable.
Fix the calculation by subtracting the reserve from the amount of free
pages, then adding the reclaimable pages on top.

Prior to commit fe35004fbf ("mm: avoid swapping out with
swappiness==0") setting swappiness to 0, reclaim code could still evict
recently used user anonymous memory to swap even though there is a
significant amount of RAM used for page cache.
The behaviour of setting swappiness to 0 has since changed. When set,
the reclaim code does not initiate swap until the amount of free pages
and file-backed pages, is less than the high water mark in a zone.
Let's update the documentation to reflect this.

Pull fanotify use-after-free fixes from Jan Kara:
"Three fixes for the fanotify use after free problems guys were
reporting.
I have ended up with different lifetime rules for struct
fanotify_event_info depending on whether it is for permission event or
normal event which isn't ideal. My plan is to split these into two
different structures (as permission events need larger struct anyway)
which will make the rules trivial again. But that can wait for later
I guess (but I can add the patch to the pile if you want), now I
wanted to make -rc1 boot for these guys"
[ "These guys" being Jiri Kosina and Dave Jones that reported the slab
corruption issues due to incorrect object lifetimes ]
* 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs:
fanotify: Fix use after free for permission events
fsnotify: Do not return merged event from fsnotify_add_notify_event()
fanotify: Fix use after free in mask checking
The merge of commit 7221fe4c2e ("ceph: add acl for cephfs") raced with
upstream changes in the generic POSIX ACL code (eg commit 2aeccbe957
"fs: add generic xattr_acl handlers" and others).
Some of the fallout was fixed in commit 4db658ea0c ("ceph: Fix up after
semantic merge conflict"), but it was incomplete: the set_acl
inode_operation wasn't getting set, and the prototype needed to be
adjusted a bit (it doesn't take a dentry anymore).
