After the patch "mm: vmscan: Flatten kswapd priority loop" was merged the scanning priority of kswapd changed. The priority now rises until it is scanning enough pages to meet the high watermark. shrink_inactive_list sets ZONE_WRITEBACK if a number of pages were encountered under writeback but this value is scaled based on the priority. As kswapd frequently scans with a higher priority now it is relatively easy to set ZONE_WRITEBACK. This patch removes the scaling and treates writeback pages similar to how it treats unqueued dirty pages and congested pages. The user-visible effect should be that kswapd will writeback fewer pages from reclaim context. Signed-off-by:

Direct reclaim is not aborting to allow compaction to go ahead properly. do_try_to_free_pages is told to abort reclaim which is happily ignores and instead increases priority instead until it reaches 0 and starts shrinking file/anon equally. This patch corrects the situation by aborting reclaim when requested instead of raising priority. Signed-off-by:

When searching a vmap area in the vmalloc space, we use (addr + size - 1) to check if the value is less than addr, which is an overflow. But we assign (addr + size) to vmap_area->va_end. So if we come across the below case: (addr + size - 1) : not overflow (addr + size) : overflow we will assign an overflow value (e.g 0) to vmap_area->va_end, And this will trigger BUG in __insert_vmap_area, causing system panic. So using (addr + size) to check the overflow should be the correct behaviour, not (addr + size - 1). Signed-off-by:

VM_READHINTMASK, VM_NormalReadHint and VM_ClearReadHint were added just before 2.4 and appears have never been used. Signed-off-by:

After commit 839a8e86 ("writeback: replace custom worker pool implementation with unbound workqueue"), bdi_writeback_workfn runs off bdi_writeback->dwork, on each execution, it processes bdi->work_list and reschedules if there are more things to do instead of flush any work that race with us existing. It is unecessary to check force_wait in wb_do_writeback since it is always 0 after the mentioned commit. This patch remove the force_wait in wb_do_writeback. Signed-off-by:

With CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE unset, there is a compile warning: mm/sparse.c:755: warning: `clear_hwpoisoned_pages' defined but not used And Bisecting it ended up pointing to 4edd7cef ("mm, hotplug: avoid compiling memory hotremove functions when disabled"). This is because the commit above put sparse_remove_one_section() within the protection of CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE but the only user of clear_hwpoisoned_pages() is sparse_remove_one_section(), and it is not within the protection of CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. So put clear_hwpoisoned_pages within CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE should fix the warning. Signed-off-by:

In __rmqueue_fallback(), current_order loops down from MAX_ORDER - 1 to the order passed. MAX_ORDER is typically 11 and pageblock_order is typically 9 on x86. Integer division truncates, so pageblock_order / 2 is 4. For the first eight iterations, it's guaranteed that current_order >= pageblock_order / 2 if it even gets that far! So just remove the unlikely(), it's completely bogus. Signed-off-by:

The memory we used to hold the memcg arrays is currently accounted to the current memcg. But that creates a problem, because that memory can only be freed after the last user is gone. Our only way to know which is the last user, is to hook up to freeing time, but the fact that we still have some in flight kmallocs will prevent freeing to happen. I believe therefore to be just easier to account this memory as global overhead. Signed-off-by:

The memory we used to hold the memcg arrays is currently accounted to the current memcg. But that creates a problem, because that memory can only be freed after the last user is gone. Our only way to know which is the last user, is to hook up to freeing time, but the fact that we still have some in flight kmallocs will prevent freeing to happen. I believe therefore to be just easier to account this memory as global overhead. This patch (of 2): Disabling accounting is only relevant for some specific memcg internal allocations. Therefore we would initially not have such check at memcg_kmem_newpage_charge, since direct calls to the page allocator that are marked with GFP_KMEMCG only happen outside memcg core. We are mostly concerned with cache allocations and by having this test at memcg_kmem_get_cache we are already able to relay the allocation to the root cache and bypass the memcg caches altogether. There is one exception, though: the SLUB allocator does not create large order caches, but rather service large kmallocs directly from the page allocator. Therefore, the following sequence, when backed by the SLUB allocator: memcg_stop_kmem_account(); kmalloc(<large_number>) memcg_resume_kmem_account(); would effectively ignore the fact that we should skip accounting, since it will drive us directly to this function without passing through the cache selector memcg_kmem_get_cache. Such large allocations are extremely rare but can happen, for instance, for the cache arrays. This was never a problem in practice, because we weren't skipping accounting for the cache arrays. All the allocations we were skipping were fairly small. However, the fact that we were not skipping those allocations are a problem and can prevent the memcgs from going away. As we fix that, we need to make sure that the fix will also work with the SLUB allocator. Signed-off-by:

We should check the VM_UNITIALIZED flag in s_show(). If this flag is set, that said, the vm_struct is not fully initialized. So it is unnecessary to try to show the information contained in vm_struct. We checked this flag in show_numa_info(), but I think it's better to check it earlier. Signed-off-by:

VM_UNLIST was used to indicate that the vm_struct is not listed in vmlist. But after commit 4341fa45 ("mm, vmalloc: remove list management of vmlist after initializing vmalloc"), the meaning of this flag changed. It now means the vm_struct is not fully initialized. So renaming it to VM_UNINITIALIZED seems more reasonable. Also change clear_vm_unlist to clear_vm_uninitialized_flag. Signed-off-by:

Space in a vmap block that was once allocated is considered dirty and not made available for allocation again before the whole block is recycled. The result is that free space within a vmap block is always contiguous. So if a vmap block has enough free space for allocation, the allocation is impossible to fail. Thus, the fragmented block purging was never invoked from vb_alloc(). So remove this dead code.

When calculating pages in a node, for each zone in that node, we will have zone_spanned_pages_in_node --> get_pfn_range_for_nid zone_absent_pages_in_node --> get_pfn_range_for_nid That is to say, we call the get_pfn_range_for_nid to get start_pfn and end_pfn of the node for MAX_NR_ZONES * 2 times. And this is totally unnecessary if we call the get_pfn_range_for_nid before zone_*_pages_in_node add two extra arguments node_start_pfn and node_end_pfn for zone_*_pages_in_node, then we can remove the get_pfn_range_in_node in zone_*_pages_in_node.

A few remaining architectures directly kill the page faulting task in an out of memory situation. This is usually not a good idea since that task might not even use a significant amount of memory and so may not be the optimal victim to resolve the situation. Since 2.6.29's 1c0fe6e3 ("mm: invoke oom-killer from page fault") there is a hook that architecture page fault handlers are supposed to call to invoke the OOM killer and let it pick the right task to kill. Convert the remaining architectures over to this hook. To have the previous behavior of simply taking out the faulting task the vm.oom_kill_allocating_task sysctl can be set to 1. Signed-off-by:

Remove struct mem_cgroup_lru_info and fold its single member, the variably sized nodeinfo[0], directly into struct mem_cgroup. This should make it more obvious why it has to be the last member there. Also move the comment that's above that special last member below it, so it is more visible to somebody that considers appending to the struct mem_cgroup. Signed-off-by:

In inotify_new_watch() the number of watches for a group is compared against the max number of allowed watches and increased afterwards. The check and incrementation is not done atomically, so it is possible for multiple concurrent threads to pass the check and increment the number of marks above the allowed max. This patch uses an inotify groups mark_lock to ensure that both check and incrementation are done atomic. Furthermore we dont have to worry about the race that allows a concurrent thread to add a watch just after inotify_update_existing_watch() returned with -ENOENT anymore, since this is also synchronized by the groups mark mutex now.
