With element, sometime I got confused handle and element access. It might be my bad but I think it's time to introduce accessor to prevent future idiot like me. This patch is just clean-up patch so it shouldn't change any behavior. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1492052365-16169-6-git-send-email-minchan@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

For architecture(PAGE_SIZE > 4K), zram have supported partial IO. However, the mixed code for handling normal/partial IO is too mess, error-prone to modify IO handler functions with upcoming feature so this patch aims for cleaning up zram's IO handling functions.

The reason is zram expects each bvec in bio contains a single page but nvme can attach a huge bulk of pages attached to the bio's bvec so that zram's index arithmetic could be wrong so that out-of-bound access makes system panic. [1] in mainline solved solved the problem by limiting max_sectors with SECTORS_PER_PAGE but it makes zram slow because bio should split with each pages so this patch makes zram aware of multiple pages in a bvec so it could solve without any regression(ie, bio split).

Commit c0a32fc5 ("mm: more intensive memory corruption debugging") changed to check debug_guardpage_minorder() > 0 when reporting allocation failures. The reasoning was When we use guard page to debug memory corruption, it shrinks available pages to 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 and so on, depending on parameter value. In such case memory allocation failures can be common and printing errors can flood dmesg. If somebody debug corruption, allocation failures are not the things he/she is interested about. but this is misguided. Allocation requests with __GFP_NOWARN flag by definition do not cause flooding of allocation failure messages. Allocation requests with __GFP_NORETRY flag likely also have __GFP_NOWARN flag. Costly allocation requests likely also have __GFP_NOWARN flag. Allocation requests without __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM flag likely also have __GFP_NOWARN flag or __GFP_HIGH flag. Non-costly allocation requests with __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM flag basically retry forever due to the "too small to fail" memory-allocation rule. Therefore, as a whole, shrinking available pages by debug_guardpage_minorder= kernel boot parameter might cause flooding of OOM killer messages but unlikely causes flooding of allocation failure messages. Let's remove debug_guardpage_minorder() > 0 check which would likely be pointless. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1491910035-4231-1-git-send-email-penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jpSigned-off-by:

This cleans up handling MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE and MADV_HWPOISON called through madvise() system call. * madvise_memory_failure() was misleading to accommodate handling of both memory_failure() as well as soft_offline_page() functions. Basically it handles memory error injection from user space which can go either way as memory failure or soft offline. Renamed as madvise_inject_error() instead. * Renamed struct page pointer 'p' to 'page'. * pr_info() was essentially printing PFN value but it said 'page' which was misleading. Made the process virtual address explicit.

The current duplication is a high-maintenance mess, and it's painful to add new items or query memcg state from the rest of the VM.

Since commit 59dc76b0 ("mm: vmscan: reduce size of inactive file list") we noticed bigger IO spikes during changes in cache access patterns. The patch in question shrunk the inactive list size to leave more room for the current workingset in the presence of streaming IO. However, workingset transitions that previously happened on the inactive list are now pushed out of memory and incur more refaults to complete. This patch disables active list protection when refaults are being observed. This accelerates workingset transitions, and allows more of the new set to establish itself from memory, without eating into the ability to protect the established workingset during stable periods. The workloads that were measurably affected for us were hit pretty bad by it, with refault/majfault rates doubling and tripling during cache transitions, and the machines sustaining half-hour periods of 100% IO utilization, where they'd previously have sub-minute peaks at 60-90%. Stateful services that handle user data tend to be more conservative with kernel upgrades. As a result we hit most page cache issues with some delay, as was the case here. The severity seemed to warrant a stable tag. Fixes: 59dc76b0 ("mm: vmscan: reduce size of inactive file list") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170404220052.27593-1-hannes@cmpxchg.orgSigned-off-by:

Commit 091d0d55 ("shm: fix null pointer deref when userspace specifies invalid hugepage size") had replaced MAP_HUGE_MASK with SHM_HUGE_MASK. Though both of them contain the same numeric value of 0x3f, MAP_HUGE_MASK flag sounds more appropriate than the other one in the context. Hence change it back.

This patch updates moom_callback to tell that no task was eligible which is the case for both oom killer disabled and no eligible tasks. In order to help distinguish first case from the second add printk to both oom_killer_{enable,disable}. This information is useful on its own because it might help debugging potential memory allocation failures.

On SPARSEMEM systems page poisoning is enabled after buddy is up, because of the dependency on page extension init. This causes the pages released by free_all_bootmem not to be poisoned. This either delays or misses the identification of some issues because the pages have to undergo another cycle of alloc-free-alloc for any corruption to be detected. Enable page poisoning early by getting rid of the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_POISON flag. Since all the free pages will now be poisoned, the flag need not be verified before checking the poison during an alloc.

Cluster lock is used to protect the swap_cluster_info and corresponding elements in swap_info_struct->swap_map[]. But it is found that now in scan_swap_map_slots(), swap_avail_lock may be acquired when cluster lock is held. This does no good except making the locking more complex and improving the potential locking contention, because the swap_info_struct->lock is used to protect the data structure operated in the code already. Fix this via moving the corresponding operations in scan_swap_map_slots() out of cluster lock. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170317064635.12792-3-ying.huang@intel.comSigned-off-by:

Commit cbab0e4e ("swap: avoid read_swap_cache_async() race to deadlock while waiting on discard I/O completion") fixed a deadlock in read_swap_cache_async(). Because at that time, in swap allocation path, a swap entry may be set as SWAP_HAS_CACHE, then wait for discarding to complete before the page for the swap entry is added to the swap cache. But in commit 815c2c54 ("swap: make swap discard async"), the discarding for swap become asynchronous, waiting for discarding to complete will be done before the swap entry is set as SWAP_HAS_CACHE. So the comments in code is incorrect now. This patch fixes the comments. The cond_resched() added in the commit cbab0e4e is not necessary now too. But if we added some sleep in swap allocation path in the future, there may be some hard to debug/reproduce deadlock bug. So it is kept.

In 2002, [1] introduced SWAP_AGAIN. At that time, try_to_unmap_one used spin_trylock(&mm->page_table_lock) so it's really easy to contend and fail to hold a lock so SWAP_AGAIN to keep LRU status makes sense. However, now we changed it to mutex-based lock and be able to block without skip pte so there is few of small window to return SWAP_AGAIN so remove SWAP_AGAIN and just return SWAP_FAIL.

ttu doesn't need to return SWAP_MLOCK. Instead, just return SWAP_FAIL because it means the page is not-swappable so it should move to another LRU list(active or unevictable). putback friends will move it to right list depending on the page's LRU flag.

try_to_munlock returns SWAP_MLOCK if the one of VMAs mapped the page has VM_LOCKED flag. In that time, VM set PG_mlocked to the page if the page is not pte-mapped THP which cannot be mlocked, either. With that, __munlock_isolated_page can use PageMlocked to check whether try_to_munlock is successful or not without relying on try_to_munlock's retval. It helps to make try_to_unmap/try_to_unmap_one simple with upcoming patches.

By reviewing code, I find that when enter do_try_to_free_pages, the may_thrash is always clear, and it will retry shrink zones to tap cgroup's reserves memory by setting may_thrash when the former shrink_zones reclaim nothing. However, when memcg is disabled or on legacy hierarchy, or there do not have any memcg protected by low limit, it should not do this useless retry at all, for we do not have any cgroup's reserves memory to tap, and we have already done hard work but made no progress, which as Michal pointed out in former version, we are trying hard to control the retry logical of page alloctor, and the current additional round of reclaim is just lame. Therefore, to avoid this unneeded retrying and make code more readable, we remove the may_thrash field in scan_control, instead, introduce memcg_low_reclaim and memcg_low_skipped, and only retry when memcg_low_skipped, by setting memcg_low_reclaim.

By reviewing code, I find that if the migrate target is a large free page and we ignore suitable, it may splite large target free page into smaller block which is not good for defrag. So move the ignore block suitable after check large free page. As Vlastimil pointed out in RFC version that this patch is just based on logical analyses which might be better for future-proofing the function and it is most likely won't have any visible effect right now, for direct compaction shouldn't have to be called if there's a >=pageblock_order page already available.

The current implementation calculates usemap_size in two steps: * calculate number of bytes to cover these bits * calculate number of "unsigned long" to cover these bytes It would be more clear by: * calculate number of "unsigned long" to cover these bits * multiple it with sizeof(unsigned long) This patch refine usemap_size() a little to make it more easy to understand.

__GFP_NOWARN, which is usually added to avoid warnings from callsites that expect to fail and have fallbacks, currently also suppresses allocation stall warnings. These trigger when an allocation is stuck inside the allocator for 10 seconds or longer. But there is no class of allocations that can get legitimately stuck in the allocator for this long. This always indicates a problem. Always emit stall warnings. Restrict __GFP_NOWARN to alloc failures. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170125181150.GA16398@cmpxchg.orgSigned-off-by:
