       "A lot of attention was paid to improving the thin-provisioning
        target's handling of metadata operation failures and running out of
        space.  A new 'error_if_no_space' feature was added to allow users to
        error IOs rather than queue them when either the data or metadata
        space is exhausted.
      
        Additional fixes/features include:
         - a few fixes to properly support thin metadata device resizing
         - a solution for reliably waiting for a DM device's embedded kobject
           to be released before destroying the device
         - old dm-snapshot is updated to use the dm-bufio interface to take
           advantage of readahead capabilities that improve snapshot
           activation
         - new dm-cache target tunables to control how quickly data is
           promoted to the cache (fast) device
         - improved write efficiency of cluster mirror target by combining
           userspace flush and mark requests"

      Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
       "This pull request has a new feature to ftrace, namely the trace event
        triggers by Tom Zanussi.  A trigger is a way to enable an action when
        an event is hit.  The actions are:
      
         o  trace on/off - enable or disable tracing
         o  snapshot     - save the current trace buffer in the snapshot
         o  stacktrace   - dump the current stack trace to the ringbuffer
         o  enable/disable events - enable or disable another event
      
        Namhyung Kim added updates to the tracing uprobes code.  Having the
        uprobes add support for fetch methods.
      
        The rest are various bug fixes with the new code, and minor ones for
        the old code"

      dm log userspace: allow mark requests to piggyback on flush requests · 5066a4df
      Dongmao Zhang authored
      In the cluster evironment, cluster write has poor performance because
      userspace_flush() has to contact a userspace program (cmirrord) for
      clear/mark/flush requests.  But both mark and flush requests require
      cmirrord to communicate the message to all the cluster nodes for each
      flush call.  This behaviour is really slow.
      
      To address this we now merge mark and flush requests together to reduce
      the kernel-userspace-kernel time.  We allow a new directive,
      "integrated_flush" that can be used to instruct the kernel log code to
      combine flush and mark requests when directed by userspace.  If not
      directed by userspace (due to an older version of the userspace code
      perhaps), the kernel will function as it did previously - preserving
      backwards compatibility.  Additionally, flush requests are performed
      lazily when only clear requests exist.

      We should remove the page from the list if we fail with ENOSYS, since
      migrate_pages() consider error cases except -ENOMEM and -EAGAIN as
      permanent failure and it assumes that the page would be removed from the
      list.  Without this patch, we could overcount number of failure.
      
      In addition, we should put back the new hugepage if
      !hugepage_migration_support().  If not, we would leak hugepage memory.

      mm: compaction: reset scanner positions immediately when they meet · 55b7c4c9
      Vlastimil Babka authored
      Compaction used to start its migrate and free page scaners at the zone's
      lowest and highest pfn, respectively.  Later, caching was introduced to
      remember the scanners' progress across compaction attempts so that
      pageblocks are not re-scanned uselessly.  Additionally, pageblocks where
      isolation failed are marked to be quickly skipped when encountered again
      in future compactions.
      
      Currently, both the reset of cached pfn's and clearing of the pageblock
      skip information for a zone is done in __reset_isolation_suitable().
      This function gets called when:
      
       - compaction is restarting after being deferred
       - compact_blockskip_flush flag is set in compact_finished() when the scanners
         meet (and not again cleared when direct compaction succeeds in allocation)
         and kswapd acts upon this flag before going to sleep
      
      This behavior is suboptimal for several reasons:
      
       - when direct sync compaction is called after async compaction fails (in the
         allocation slowpath), it will effectively do nothing, unless kswapd
         happens to process the compact_blockskip_flush flag meanwhile. This is racy
         and goes against the purpose of sync compaction to more thoroughly retry
         the compaction of a zone where async compaction has failed.
         The restart-after-deferring path cannot help here as deferring happens only
         after the sync compaction fails. It is also done only for the preferred
         zone, while the compaction might be done for a fallback zone.
      
       - the mechanism of marking pageblock to be skipped has little value since the
         cached pfn's are reset only together with the pageblock skip flags. This
         effectively limits pageblock skip usage to parallel compactions.
      
      This patch changes compact_finished() so that cached pfn's are reset
      immediately when the scanners meet.  Clearing pageblock skip flags is
      unchanged, as well as the other situations where cached pfn's are reset.
      This allows the sync-after-async compaction to retry pageblocks not
      marked as skipped, such as blocks !MIGRATE_MOVABLE blocks that async
      compactions now skips without marking them.

      mm: compaction: do not mark unmovable pageblocks as skipped in async compaction · 50b5b094
      Vlastimil Babka authored
      Compaction temporarily marks pageblocks where it fails to isolate pages
      as to-be-skipped in further compactions, in order to improve efficiency.
      One of the reasons to fail isolating pages is that isolation is not
      attempted in pageblocks that are not of MIGRATE_MOVABLE (or CMA) type.
      
      The problem is that blocks skipped due to not being MIGRATE_MOVABLE in
      async compaction become skipped due to the temporary mark also in future
      sync compaction.  Moreover, this may follow quite soon during
      __alloc_page_slowpath, without much time for kswapd to clear the
      pageblock skip marks.  This goes against the idea that sync compaction
      should try to scan these blocks more thoroughly than the async
      compaction.
      
      The fix is to ensure in async compaction that these !MIGRATE_MOVABLE
      blocks are not marked to be skipped.  Note this should not affect
      performance or locking impact of further async compactions, as skipping
      a block due to being !MIGRATE_MOVABLE is done soon after skipping a
      block marked to be skipped, both without locking.

      mm: compaction: detect when scanners meet in isolate_freepages · 7ed695e0
      Vlastimil Babka authored
      Compaction of a zone is finished when the migrate scanner (which begins
      at the zone's lowest pfn) meets the free page scanner (which begins at
      the zone's highest pfn).  This is detected in compact_zone() and in the
      case of direct compaction, the compact_blockskip_flush flag is set so
      that kswapd later resets the cached scanner pfn's, and a new compaction
      may again start at the zone's borders.
      
      The meeting of the scanners can happen during either scanner's activity.
      However, it may currently fail to be detected when it occurs in the free
      page scanner, due to two problems.  First, isolate_freepages() keeps
      free_pfn at the highest block where it isolated pages from, for the
      purposes of not missing the pages that are returned back to allocator
      when migration fails.  Second, failing to isolate enough free pages due
      to scanners meeting results in -ENOMEM being returned by
      migrate_pages(), which makes compact_zone() bail out immediately without
      calling compact_finished() that would detect scanners meeting.
      
      This failure to detect scanners meeting might result in repeated
      attempts at compaction of a zone that keep starting from the cached
      pfn's close to the meeting point, and quickly failing through the
      -ENOMEM path, without the cached pfns being reset, over and over.  This
      has been observed (through additional tracepoints) in the third phase of
      the mmtests stress-highalloc benchmark, where the allocator runs on an
      otherwise idle system.  The problem was observed in the DMA32 zone,
      which was used as a fallback to the preferred Normal zone, but on the
      4GB system it was actually the largest zone.  The problem is even
      amplified for such fallback zone - the deferred compaction logic, which
      could (after being fixed by a previous patch) reset the cached scanner
      pfn's, is only applied to the preferred zone and not for the fallbacks.
      
      The problem in the third phase of the benchmark was further amplified by
      commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") which
      resulted in a non-deterministic regression of the allocation success
      rate from ~85% to ~65%.  This occurs in about half of benchmark runs,
      making bisection problematic.  It is unlikely that the commit itself is
      buggy, but it should put more pressure on the DMA32 zone during phases 1
      and 2, which may leave it more fragmented in phase 3 and expose the bugs
      that this patch fixes.
      
      The fix is to make scanners meeting in isolate_freepage() stay that way,
      and to check in compact_zone() for scanners meeting when migrate_pages()
      returns -ENOMEM.  The result is that compact_finished() also detects
      scanners meeting and sets the compact_blockskip_flush flag to make
      kswapd reset the scanner pfn's.
      
      The results in stress-highalloc benchmark show that the "regression" by
      commit 81c0a2bb in phase 3 no longer occurs, and phase 1 and 2
      allocation success rates are also significantly improved.

      mm: compaction: reset cached scanner pfn's before reading them · d3132e4b
      Vlastimil Babka authored
      Compaction caches pfn's for its migrate and free scanners to avoid
      scanning the whole zone each time.  In compact_zone(), the cached values
      are read to set up initial values for the scanners.  There are several
      situations when these cached pfn's are reset to the first and last pfn
      of the zone, respectively.  One of these situations is when a compaction
      has been deferred for a zone and is now being restarted during a direct
      compaction, which is also done in compact_zone().
      
      However, compact_zone() currently reads the cached pfn's *before*
      resetting them.  This means the reset doesn't affect the compaction that
      performs it, and with good chance also subsequent compactions, as
      update_pageblock_skip() is likely to be called and update the cached
      pfn's to those being processed.  Another chance for a successful reset
      is when a direct compaction detects that migration and free scanners
      meet (which has its own problems addressed by another patch) and sets
      update_pageblock_skip flag which kswapd uses to do the reset because it
      goes to sleep.
      
      This is clearly a bug that results in non-deterministic behavior, so
      this patch moves the cached pfn reset to be performed *before* the
      values are read.

      Currently there are several functions to manipulate the deferred
      compaction state variables.  The remaining case where the variables are
      touched directly is when a successful allocation occurs in direct
      compaction, or is expected to be successful in the future by kswapd.
      Here, the lowest order that is expected to fail is updated, and in the
      case of successful allocation, the deferred status and counter is reset
      completely.
      
      Create a new function compaction_defer_reset() to encapsulate this
      functionality and make it easier to understand the code.  No functional
      change.

      mm: compaction: trace compaction begin and end · 0eb927c0
      Mel Gorman authored
      The broad goal of the series is to improve allocation success rates for
      huge pages through memory compaction, while trying not to increase the
      compaction overhead.  The original objective was to reintroduce
      capturing of high-order pages freed by the compaction, before they are
      split by concurrent activity.  However, several bugs and opportunities
      for simple improvements were found in the current implementation, mostly
      through extra tracepoints (which are however too ugly for now to be
      considered for sending).
      
      The patches mostly deal with two mechanisms that reduce compaction
      overhead, which is caching the progress of migrate and free scanners,
      and marking pageblocks where isolation failed to be skipped during
      further scans.
      
      Patch 1 (from mgorman) adds tracepoints that allow calculate time spent in
              compaction and potentially debug scanner pfn values.
      
      Patch 2 encapsulates the some functionality for handling deferred compactions
              for better maintainability, without a functional change
              type is not determined without being actually needed.
      
      Patch 3 fixes a bug where cached scanner pfn's are sometimes reset only after
              they have been read to initialize a compaction run.
      
      Patch 4 fixes a bug where scanners meeting is sometimes not properly detected
              and can lead to multiple compaction attempts quitting early without
              doing any work.
      
      Patch 5 improves the chances of sync compaction to process pageblocks that
              async compaction has skipped due to being !MIGRATE_MOVABLE.
      
      Patch 6 improves the chances of sync direct compaction to actually do anything
              when called after async compaction fails during allocation slowpath.
      
      The impact of patches were validated using mmtests's stress-highalloc
      benchmark with mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark on a x86_64 machine
      with 4GB memory.
      
      Due to instability of the results (mostly related to the bugs fixed by
      patches 2 and 3), 10 iterations were performed, taking min,mean,max
      values for success rates and mean values for time and vmstat-based
      metrics.
      
      First, the default GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations were tested with the
      patches stacked on top of v3.13-rc2.  Patch 2 is OK to serve as baseline
      due to no functional changes in 1 and 2.  Comments below.

      Observations:
      
      - The "Success 3" line is allocation success rate with system idle
        (phases 1 and 2 are with background interference).  I used to get stable
        values around 85% with vanilla 3.11.  The lower min and mean values came
        with 3.12.  This was bisected to commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair
        zone allocator policy") As explained in comment for patch 3, I don't
        think the commit is wrong, but that it makes the effect of compaction
        bugs worse.  From patch 3 onwards, the results are OK and match the 3.11
        results.
      
      - Patch 4 also clearly helps phases 1 and 2, and exceeds any results
        I've seen with 3.11 (I didn't measure it that thoroughly then, but it
        was never above 40%).
      
      - Compaction cost and number of scanned pages is higher, especially due
        to patch 4.  However, keep in mind that patches 3 and 4 fix existing
        bugs in the current design of compaction overhead mitigation, they do
        not change it.  If overhead is found unacceptable, then it should be
        decreased differently (and consistently, not due to random conditions)
        than the current implementation does.  In contrast, patches 5 and 6
        (which are not strictly bug fixes) do not increase the overhead (but
        also not success rates).  This might be a limitation of the
        stress-highalloc benchmark as it's quite uniform.
      
      Another set of results is when configuring stress-highalloc t allocate
      with similar flags as THP uses:
       (GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_NOMEMALLOC|__GFP_NORETRY|__GFP_NO_KSWAPD)

      There are some differences from the previous results for THP-like allocations:
      
      - Here, the bad result for unpatched kernel in phase 3 is much more
        consistent to be between 65-70% and not related to the "regression" in
        3.12.  Still there is the improvement from patch 4 onwards, which brings
        it on par with simple GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations.
      
      - Compaction costs have increased, but nowhere near as much as the
        non-THP case.  Again, the patches should be worth the gained
        determininsm.
      
      - Patches 5 and 6 somewhat increase the number of migrate-scanned pages.
         This is most likely due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag, which means the cached
        pfn's and pageblock skip bits are not reset by kswapd that often (at
        least in phase 3 where no concurrent activity would wake up kswapd) and
        the patches thus help the sync-after-async compaction.  It doesn't
        however show that the sync compaction would help so much with success
        rates, which can be again seen as a limitation of the benchmark
        scenario.
      
      This patch (of 6):
      
      Add two tracepoints for compaction begin and end of a zone.  Using this it
      is possible to calculate how much time a workload is spending within
      compaction and potentially debug problems related to cached pfns for
      scanning.  In combination with the direct reclaim and slab trace points it
      should be possible to estimate most allocation-related overhead for a
      workload.

      memcg, oom: lock mem_cgroup_print_oom_info · 947b3dd1
      Michal Hocko authored
      mem_cgroup_print_oom_info uses a static buffer (memcg_name) to store the
      name of the cgroup.  This is not safe as pointed out by David Rientjes
      because memcg oom is locked only for its hierarchy and nothing prevents
      another parallel hierarchy to trigger oom as well and overwrite the
      already in-use buffer.
      
      This patch introduces oom_info_lock hidden inside
      mem_cgroup_print_oom_info which is held throughout the function.  It
      makes access to memcg_name safe and as a bonus it also prevents parallel
      memcg ooms to interleave their statistics which would make the printed
      data hard to analyze otherwise.

      sched: add tracepoints related to NUMA task migration · 286549dc
      Mel Gorman authored
      This patch adds three tracepoints
       o trace_sched_move_numa	when a task is moved to a node
       o trace_sched_swap_numa	when a task is swapped with another task
       o trace_sched_stick_numa	when a numa-related migration fails
      
      The tracepoints allow the NUMA scheduler activity to be monitored and the
      following high-level metrics can be calculated
      
       o NUMA migrated stuck	 nr trace_sched_stick_numa
       o NUMA migrated idle	 nr trace_sched_move_numa
       o NUMA migrated swapped nr trace_sched_swap_numa
       o NUMA local swapped	 trace_sched_swap_numa src_nid == dst_nid (should never happen)
       o NUMA remote swapped	 trace_sched_swap_numa src_nid != dst_nid (should == NUMA migrated swapped)
       o NUMA group swapped	 trace_sched_swap_numa src_ngid == dst_ngid
      			 Maybe a small number of these are acceptable
      			 but a high number would be a major surprise.
      			 It would be even worse if bounces are frequent.
       o NUMA avg task migs.	 Average number of migrations for tasks
       o NUMA stddev task mig	 Self-explanatory
       o NUMA max task migs.	 Maximum number of migrations for a single task
      
      In general the intent of the tracepoints is to help diagnose problems
      where automatic NUMA balancing appears to be doing an excessive amount
      of useless work.

      KSM pages can be shared between tasks that are not necessarily related
      to each other from a NUMA perspective.  This patch causes those pages to
      be ignored by automatic NUMA balancing so they do not migrate and do not
      cause unrelated tasks to be grouped together.

      mm/memblock: use WARN_ONCE when MAX_NUMNODES passed as input parameter · 560dca27
      Grygorii Strashko authored
      Check nid parameter and produce warning if it has deprecated
      MAX_NUMNODES value.  Also re-assign NUMA_NO_NODE value to the nid
      parameter in this case.
      
      These will help to identify the wrong API usage (the caller) and make
      code simpler.

      x86/mm: memblock: switch to use NUMA_NO_NODE · 9a28f9dc
      Grygorii Strashko authored
      Update X86 code to use NUMA_NO_NODE instead of MAX_NUMNODES while
      calling memblock APIs, because memblock API will be changed to use
      NUMA_NO_NODE and will produce warning during boot otherwise.
