992de5a8ec Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)
Merge misc updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Bite-sized chunks this time, to avoid the MTA ratelimiting woes.

   - fs/notify updates

   - ocfs2

   - some of MM"

That laconic "some MM" is mainly the removal of remap_file_pages(),
which is a big simplification of the VM, and which gets rid of a *lot*
of random cruft and special cases because we no longer support the
non-linear mappings that it used.

From a user interface perspective, nothing has changed, because the
remap_file_pages() syscall still exists, it's just done by emulating the
old behavior by creating a lot of individual small mappings instead of
one non-linear one.

The emulation is slower than the old "native" non-linear mappings, but
nobody really uses or cares about remap_file_pages(), and simplifying
the VM is a big advantage.

d5b3cf7139 memcg: zap memcg_slab_caches and memcg_slab_mutex
mem_cgroup->memcg_slab_caches is a list of kmem caches corresponding to
the given cgroup.  Currently, it is only used on css free in order to
destroy all caches corresponding to the memory cgroup being freed.  The
list is protected by memcg_slab_mutex.  The mutex is also used to protect
kmem_cache->memcg_params->memcg_caches arrays and synchronizes
kmem_cache_destroy vs memcg_unregister_all_caches.

However, we can perfectly get on without these two.  To destroy all caches
corresponding to a memory cgroup, we can walk over the global list of kmem
caches, slab_caches, and we can do all the synchronization stuff using the
slab_mutex instead of the memcg_slab_mutex.  This patch therefore gets rid
of the memcg_slab_caches and memcg_slab_mutex.

Apart from this nice cleanup, it also:

 - assures that rcu_barrier() is called once at max when a root cache is
   destroyed or a memory cgroup is freed, no matter how many caches have
   SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU flag set;

 - fixes the race between kmem_cache_destroy and kmem_cache_create that
   exists, because memcg_cleanup_cache_params, which is called from
   kmem_cache_destroy after checking that kmem_cache->refcount=0,
   releases the slab_mutex, which gives kmem_cache_create a chance to
   make an alias to a cache doomed to be destroyed.

4c5018ce06 mm/page_alloc.c: place zone_id check before VM_BUG_ON_PAGE check
If the freeing page and its buddy page are not at the same zone, the
current holding zone->lock for the freeing page cann't prevent buddy page
getting allocated, this could trigger VM_BUG_ON_PAGE in page_is_buddy() at
a very tiny chance, such as:

cpu 0:						cpu 1:
hold zone_1 lock
check page and it buddy
PageBuddy(buddy) is true			hold zone_2 lock
page_order(buddy) == order is true		alloc buddy
trigger VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_count(buddy) != 0)

zone_1->lock prevents the freeing page getting allocated
zone_2->lock prevents the buddy page getting allocated
they are not the same zone->lock.

If we can't remove the zone_id check statement, it's better handle this
rare race.  This patch fixes this by placing the zone_id check before the
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE check.

753162cd84 mm: hugetlb: fix type of hugetlb_treat_as_movable variable
hugetlb_treat_as_movable declared as unsigned long, but
proc_dointvec() used for parsing it:

static struct ctl_table vm_table[] = {
...
        {
                .procname	= "hugepages_treat_as_movable",
                .data		= &hugepages_treat_as_movable,
                .maxlen		= sizeof(int),

                .proc_handler	= proc_dointvec,
        },

This seems harmless, but it's better to use int type here.

f38b4b310d mm: memory: merge shared-writable dirtying branches in do_wp_page()
Whether there is a vm_ops->page_mkwrite or not, the page dirtying is
pretty much the same.  Make sure the page references are the same in both
cases, then merge the two branches.

It's tempting to go even further and page-lock the !page_mkwrite case, to
get it in line with everybody else setting the page table and thus further
simplify the model.  But that's not quite compelling enough to justify
dropping the pte lock, then relocking and verifying the entry for
filesystems without ->page_mkwrite, which notably includes tmpfs.  Leave
it for now and lock the page late in the !page_mkwrite case.

8a5f14a231 mm: drop support of non-linear mapping from unmap/zap codepath
We have remap_file_pages(2) emulation in -mm tree for few release cycles
and we plan to have it mainline in v3.20. This patchset removes rest of
VM_NONLINEAR infrastructure.

Patches 1-8 take care about generic code. They are pretty
straight-forward and can be applied without other of patches.

Rest patches removes pte_file()-related stuff from architecture-specific
code. It usually frees up one bit in non-present pte. I've tried to reuse
that bit for swap offset, where I was able to figure out how to do that.

For obvious reason I cannot test all that arch-specific code and would
like to see acks from maintainers.

In total, remap_file_pages(2) required about 1.4K lines of not-so-trivial
kernel code. That's too much for functionality nobody uses.

c8d78c1823 mm: replace remap_file_pages() syscall with emulation
remap_file_pages(2) was invented to be able efficiently map parts of
huge file into limited 32-bit virtual address space such as in database
workloads.

Nonlinear mappings are pain to support and it seems there's no
legitimate use-cases nowadays since 64-bit systems are widely available.

Let's drop it and get rid of all these special-cased code.

The patch replaces the syscall with emulation which creates new VMA on
each remap_file_pages(), unless they it can be merged with an adjacent
one.

I didn't find *any* real code that uses remap_file_pages(2) to test
emulation impact on.  I've checked Debian code search and source of all
packages in ALT Linux.  No real users: libc wrappers, mentions in
strace, gdb, valgrind and this kind of stuff.

There are few basic tests in LTP for the syscall.  They work just fine
with emulation.

To test performance impact, I've written small test case which
demonstrate pretty much worst case scenario: map 4G shmfs file, write to
begin of every page pgoff of the page, remap pages in reverse order,
read every page.

The test creates 1 million of VMAs if emulation is in use, so I had to
set vm.max_map_count to 1100000 to avoid -ENOMEM.

Before:		23.3 ( +-  4.31% ) seconds
After:		43.9 ( +-  0.85% ) seconds
Slowdown:	1.88x

I believe we can live with that.

Test case:

        #define _GNU_SOURCE
        #include <assert.h>
        #include <stdlib.h>
        #include <stdio.h>

                        if (p == MAP_FAILED) {

9aabf810a6 mm/slub: optimize alloc/free fastpath by removing preemption on/off
We had to insert a preempt enable/disable in the fastpath a while ago in
order to guarantee that tid and kmem_cache_cpu are retrieved on the same
cpu.  It is the problem only for CONFIG_PREEMPT in which scheduler can
move the process to other cpu during retrieving data.

Now, I reach the solution to remove preempt enable/disable in the
fastpath.  If tid is matched with kmem_cache_cpu's tid after tid and
kmem_cache_cpu are retrieved by separate this_cpu operation, it means
that they are retrieved on the same cpu.  If not matched, we just have
to retry it.

With this guarantee, preemption enable/disable isn't need at all even if
CONFIG_PREEMPT, so this patch removes it.

I saw roughly 5% win in a fast-path loop over kmem_cache_alloc/free in
CONFIG_PREEMPT.  (14.821 ns -> 14.049 ns)

Below is the result of Christoph's slab_test reported by Jesper Dangaard
Brouer.

Note that this change slightly worses performance in !CONFIG_PREEMPT,
roughly 0.3%.  Implementing each case separately would help performance,
but, since it's so marginal, I didn't do that.  This would help
maintanance since we have same code for all cases.

f5e03a4989 memcg, shmem: fix shmem migration to use lrucare
It has been reported that 965GM might trigger

  VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!lrucare && PageLRU(oldpage), oldpage)

in mem_cgroup_migrate when shmem wants to replace a swap cache page
because of shmem_should_replace_page (the page is allocated from an
inappropriate zone).  shmem_replace_page expects that the oldpage is not
on LRU list and calls mem_cgroup_migrate without lrucare.  This is
obviously incorrect because swapcache pages might be on the LRU list
(e.g. swapin readahead page).

Fix this by enabling lrucare for the migration in shmem_replace_page.
Also clarify that lrucare should be used even if one of the pages might
be on LRU list.

The BUG_ON will trigger only when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled but even
without that the migration code might leave the old page on an
inappropriate memcg' LRU which is not that critical because the page
would get removed with its last reference but it is still confusing.

23aaed6659 mm: pagewalk: call pte_hole() for VM_PFNMAP during walk_page_range
walk_page_range() silently skips vma having VM_PFNMAP set, which leads
to undesirable behaviour at client end (who called walk_page_range).
Userspace applications get the wrong data, so the effect is like just
confusing users (if the applications just display the data) or sometimes
killing the processes (if the applications do something with
misunderstanding virtual addresses due to the wrong data.)

For example for pagemap_read, when no callbacks are called against
VM_PFNMAP vma, pagemap_read may prepare pagemap data for next virtual
address range at wrong index.

Eventually userspace may get wrong pagemap data for a task.
Corresponding to a VM_PFNMAP marked vma region, kernel may report
mappings from subsequent vma regions.  User space in turn may account
more pages (than really are) to the task.

In my case I was using procmem, procrack (Android utility) which uses
pagemap interface to account RSS pages of a task.  Due to this bug it
was giving a wrong picture for vmas (with VM_PFNMAP set).

9c145c56d0 vm: make stack guard page errors return VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV rather than SIGBUS
The stack guard page error case has long incorrectly caused a SIGBUS
rather than a SIGSEGV, but nobody actually noticed until commit
fee7e49d45 ("mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard
page") because that error case was never actually triggered in any
normal situations.

Now that we actually report the error, people noticed the wrong signal
that resulted.  So far, only the test suite of libsigsegv seems to have
actually cared, but there are real applications that use libsigsegv, so
let's not wait for any of those to break.

33692f2759 vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support
The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.

That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works.  However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.

In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV.  And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.

However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d45 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space.  And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.

To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it.  They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.

This is the mindless minimal patch to do this.  A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.

Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.

667a0a06c9 mm: provide a find_special_page vma operation
The optional find_special_page VMA operation is used to lookup the
pages backing a VMA.  This is useful in cases where the normal
mechanisms for finding the page don't work.  This is only called if
the PTE is special.

One use case is a Xen PV guest mapping foreign pages into userspace.

In a Xen PV guest, the PTEs contain MFNs so get_user_pages() (for
example) must do an MFN to PFN (M2P) lookup before it can get the
page.  For foreign pages (those owned by another guest) the M2P lookup
returns the PFN as seen by the foreign guest (which would be
completely the wrong page for the local guest).

This cannot be fixed up improving the M2P lookup since one MFN may be
mapped onto two or more pages so getting the right page is impossible
given just the MFN.

0346dadbf0 memcg: remove extra newlines from memcg oom kill log
Commit e61734c55c ("cgroup: remove cgroup->name") added two extra
newlines to memcg oom kill log messages.  This makes dmesg hard to read
and parse.  The issue affects 3.15+.

Example:

  Task in /t                          <<< extra #1
   killed as a result of limit of /t
                                      <<< extra #2
  memory: usage 102400kB, limit 102400kB, failcnt 274712

Remove the extra newlines from memcg oom kill messages, so the messages
look like:

  Task in /t killed as a result of limit of /t
  memory: usage 102400kB, limit 102400kB, failcnt 240649

9879de7373 mm: page_alloc: embed OOM killing naturally into allocation slowpath
The OOM killing invocation does a lot of duplicative checks against the
task's allocation context.  Rework it to take advantage of the existing
checks in the allocator slowpath.

The OOM killer is invoked when the allocator is unable to reclaim any
pages but the allocation has to keep looping.  Instead of having a check
for __GFP_NORETRY hidden in oom_gfp_allowed(), just move the OOM
invocation to the true branch of should_alloc_retry().  The __GFP_FS
check from oom_gfp_allowed() can then be moved into the OOM avoidance
branch in __alloc_pages_may_oom(), along with the PF_DUMPCORE test.

__alloc_pages_may_oom() can then signal to the caller whether the OOM
killer was invoked, instead of requiring it to duplicate the order and
high_zoneidx checks to guess this when deciding whether to continue.

721c21c17a mm: mmu_gather: use tlb->end != 0 only for TLB invalidation
When batching up address ranges for TLB invalidation, we check tlb->end
!= 0 to indicate that some pages have actually been unmapped.

As of commit f045bbb9fa ("mmu_gather: fix over-eager
tlb_flush_mmu_free() calling"), we use the same check for freeing these
pages in order to avoid a performance regression where we call
free_pages_and_swap_cache even when no pages are actually queued up.

Unfortunately, the range could have been reset (tlb->end = 0) by
tlb_end_vma, which has been shown to cause memory leaks on arm64.
Furthermore, investigation into these leaks revealed that the fullmm
case on task exit no longer invalidates the TLB, by virtue of tlb->end
 == 0 (in 3.18, need_flush would have been set).

This patch resolves the problem by reverting commit f045bbb9fa, using
instead tlb->local.nr as the predicate for page freeing in
tlb_flush_mmu_free and ensuring that tlb->end is initialised to a
non-zero value in the fullmm case.

b800c91a05 mm: fix corner case in anon_vma endless growing prevention
Fix for BUG_ON(anon_vma->degree) splashes in unlink_anon_vmas() ("kernel
BUG at mm/rmap.c:399!") caused by commit 7a3ef208e6 ("mm: prevent
endless growth of anon_vma hierarchy")

Anon_vma_clone() is usually called for a copy of source vma in
destination argument.  If source vma has anon_vma it should be already
in dst->anon_vma.  NULL in dst->anon_vma is used as a sign that it's
called from anon_vma_fork().  In this case anon_vma_clone() finds
anon_vma for reusing.

Vma_adjust() calls it differently and this breaks anon_vma reusing
logic: anon_vma_clone() links vma to old anon_vma and updates degree
counters but vma_adjust() overrides vma->anon_vma right after that.  As
a result final unlink_anon_vmas() decrements degree for wrong anon_vma.

This patch assigns ->anon_vma before calling anon_vma_clone().

690eac53da mm: Don't count the stack guard page towards RLIMIT_STACK
Commit fee7e49d45 ("mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for
guard page") made sure that we return the error properly for stack
growth conditions.  It also theorized that counting the guard page
towards the stack limit might break something, but also said "Let's see
if anybody notices".

Somebody did notice.  Apparently android-x86 sets the stack limit very
close to the limit indeed, and including the guard page in the rlimit
check causes the android 'zygote' process problems.

So this adds the (fairly trivial) code to make the stack rlimit check be
against the actual real stack size, rather than the size of the vma that
includes the guard page.

9e5e366172 mm, vmscan: prevent kswapd livelock due to pfmemalloc-throttled process being killed
Charles Shirron and Paul Cassella from Cray Inc have reported kswapd
stuck in a busy loop with nothing left to balance, but
kswapd_try_to_sleep() failing to sleep.  Their analysis found the cause
to be a combination of several factors:

1. A process is waiting in throttle_direct_reclaim() on pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait

2. The process has been killed (by OOM in this case), but has not yet been
   scheduled to remove itself from the waitqueue and die.

3. kswapd checks for throttled processes in prepare_kswapd_sleep():

        if (waitqueue_active(&pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait)) {
                wake_up(&pgdat->pfmemalloc_wait);
		return false; // kswapd will not go to sleep
	}

   However, for a process that was already killed, wake_up() does not remove
   the process from the waitqueue, since try_to_wake_up() checks its state
   first and returns false when the process is no longer waiting.

4. kswapd is running on the same CPU as the only CPU that the process is
   allowed to run on (through cpus_allowed, or possibly single-cpu system).

5. CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y kernel is used. If there's nothing to balance, kswapd
   encounters no voluntary preemption points and repeatedly fails
   prepare_kswapd_sleep(), blocking the process from running and removing
   itself from the waitqueue, which would let kswapd sleep.

So, the source of the problem is that we prevent kswapd from going to
sleep until there are processes waiting on the pfmemalloc_wait queue,
and a process waiting on a queue is guaranteed to be removed from the
queue only when it gets scheduled.  This was done to make sure that no
process is left sleeping on pfmemalloc_wait when kswapd itself goes to
sleep.

However, it isn't necessary to postpone kswapd sleep until the
pfmemalloc_wait queue actually empties.  To prevent processes from being
left sleeping, it's actually enough to guarantee that all processes
waiting on pfmemalloc_wait queue have been woken up by the time we put
kswapd to sleep.

This patch therefore fixes this issue by substituting 'wake_up' with
'wake_up_all' and removing 'return false' in the code snippet from
prepare_kswapd_sleep() above.  Note that if any process puts itself in
the queue after this waitqueue_active() check, or after the wake up
itself, it means that the process will also wake up kswapd - and since
we are under prepare_to_wait(), the wake up won't be missed.  Also we
update the comment prepare_kswapd_sleep() to hopefully more clearly
describe the races it is preventing.

4bdfc1c4a9 memcg: fix destination cgroup leak on task charges migration
We are supposed to take one css reference per each memory page and per
each swap entry accounted to a memory cgroup.  However, during task
charges migration we take a reference to the destination cgroup twice
per each swap entry: first in mem_cgroup_do_precharge()->try_charge()
and then in mem_cgroup_move_swap_account(), permanently leaking the
destination cgroup.

The hunk taking the second reference seems to be a leftover from the
pre-00501b531c472 ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite charge API") era.  Remove it
to fix the leak.

24d404dc10 mm: memcontrol: switch soft limit default back to infinity
Commit 3e32cb2e0a ("mm: memcontrol: lockless page counters")
accidentally switched the soft limit default from infinity to zero,
which turns all memcgs with even a single page into soft limit excessors
and engages soft limit reclaim on all of them during global memory
pressure.  This makes global reclaim generally more aggressive, but also
inverts the meaning of existing soft limit configurations where unset
soft limits are usually more generous than set ones.

2d6d7f9828 mm: protect set_page_dirty() from ongoing truncation
Tejun, while reviewing the code, spotted the following race condition
between the dirtying and truncation of a page:

__set_page_dirty_nobuffers()       __delete_from_page_cache()
  if (TestSetPageDirty(page))
                                     page->mapping = NULL
				     if (PageDirty())
				       dec_zone_page_state(page, NR_FILE_DIRTY);
				       dec_bdi_stat(mapping->backing_dev_info, BDI_RECLAIMABLE);
    if (page->mapping)
      account_page_dirtied(page)
        __inc_zone_page_state(page, NR_FILE_DIRTY);
	__inc_bdi_stat(mapping->backing_dev_info, BDI_RECLAIMABLE);

which results in an imbalance of NR_FILE_DIRTY and BDI_RECLAIMABLE.

Dirtiers usually lock out truncation, either by holding the page lock
directly, or in case of zap_pte_range(), by pinning the mapcount with
the page table lock held.  The notable exception to this rule, though,
is do_wp_page(), for which this race exists.  However, do_wp_page()
already waits for a locked page to unlock before setting the dirty bit,
in order to prevent a race where clear_page_dirty() misses the page bit
in the presence of dirty ptes.  Upgrade that wait to a fully locked
set_page_dirty() to also cover the situation explained above.

Afterwards, the code in set_page_dirty() dealing with a truncation race
is no longer needed.  Remove it.

7a3ef208e6 mm: prevent endless growth of anon_vma hierarchy
Constantly forking task causes unlimited grow of anon_vma chain.  Each
next child allocates new level of anon_vmas and links vma to all
previous levels because pages might be inherited from any level.

This patch adds heuristic which decides to reuse existing anon_vma
instead of forking new one.  It adds counter anon_vma->degree which
counts linked vmas and directly descending anon_vmas and reuses anon_vma
if counter is lower than two.  As a result each anon_vma has either vma
or at least two descending anon_vmas.  In such trees half of nodes are
leafs with alive vmas, thus count of anon_vmas is no more than two times
bigger than count of vmas.

This heuristic reuses anon_vmas as few as possible because each reuse
adds false aliasing among vmas and rmap walker ought to scan more ptes
when it searches where page is might be mapped.

fee7e49d45 mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard page
Jay Foad reports that the address sanitizer test (asan) sometimes gets
confused by a stack pointer that ends up being outside the stack vma
that is reported by /proc/maps.

This happens due to an interaction between RLIMIT_STACK and the guard
page: when we do the guard page check, we ignore the potential error
from the stack expansion, which effectively results in a missing guard
page, since the expected stack expansion won't have been done.

And since /proc/maps explicitly ignores the guard page (commit
d7824370e2: "mm: fix up some user-visible effects of the stack guard
page"), the stack pointer ends up being outside the reported stack area.

This is the minimal patch: it just propagates the error.  It also
effectively makes the guard page part of the stack limit, which in turn
measn that the actual real stack is one page less than the stack limit.

Let's see if anybody notices.  We could teach acct_stack_growth() to
allow an extra page for a grow-up/grow-down stack in the rlimit test,
but I don't want to add more complexity if it isn't needed.

efforts not compiling SRCU unless necessary is desirable.

use of SRCU are selected.

If we do not select CONFIG_SRCU, srcu.o will not be compiled at all.

45f87de57f mm: get rid of radix tree gfp mask for pagecache_get_page
Commit 2457aec637 ("mm: non-atomically mark page accessed during page
cache allocation where possible") has added a separate parameter for
specifying gfp mask for radix tree allocations.

Not only this is less than optimal from the API point of view because it
is error prone, it is also buggy currently because
grab_cache_page_write_begin is using GFP_KERNEL for radix tree and if
fgp_flags doesn't contain FGP_NOFS (mostly controlled by fs by
AOP_FLAG_NOFS flag) but the mapping_gfp_mask has __GFP_FS cleared then
the radix tree allocation wouldn't obey the restriction and might
recurse into filesystem and cause deadlocks.  This is the case for most
filesystems unfortunately because only ext4 and gfs2 are using
AOP_FLAG_NOFS.

Let's simply remove radix_gfp_mask parameter because the allocation
context is same for both page cache and for the radix tree.  Just make
sure that the radix tree gets only the sane subset of the mask (e.g.  do
not pass __GFP_WRITE).

Long term it is more preferable to convert remaining users of
AOP_FLAG_NOFS to use mapping_gfp_mask instead and simplify this
interface even further.

 The first patch introduce READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE. If the data structure

 The next patches fix up several in-tree users of ACCESS_ONCE on non-scalar

66cdef663c mm/zsmalloc: adjust order of functions
Currently functions in zsmalloc.c does not arranged in a readable and
reasonable sequence.  With the more and more functions added, we may
meet below inconvenience.  For example:

Current functions:

    void zs_init()
    {
    }

    static void get_maxobj_per_zspage()
    {
    }

Then I want to add a func_1() which is called from zs_init(), and this
new added function func_1() will used get_maxobj_per_zspage() which is
defined below zs_init().

    void func_1()
    {
        get_maxobj_per_zspage()
    }

    void zs_init()
    {
        func_1()
    }

    static void get_maxobj_per_zspage()
    {
    }

This will cause compiling issue. So we must add a declaration:

    static void get_maxobj_per_zspage();

before func_1() if we do not put get_maxobj_per_zspage() before
func_1().

In addition, puting module_[init|exit] functions at the bottom of the
file conforms to our habit.

So, this patch ajusts function sequence as:

    /* helper functions */
    ...
    obj_location_to_handle()
    ...

    /* Some exported functions */
    ...

    zs_map_object()
    zs_unmap_object()

    zs_malloc()
    zs_free()

    zs_init()
    zs_exit()
