Define vma->rb_subtree_gap as the largest gap between any vma in the subtree rooted at that vma, and their predecessor. Or, for a recursive definition, vma->rb_subtree_gap is the max of: - vma->vm_start - vma->vm_prev->vm_end - rb_subtree_gap fields of the vmas pointed by vma->rb.rb_left and vma->rb.rb_right This will allow get_unmapped_area_* to find a free area of the right size in O(log(N)) time, instead of potentially having to do a linear walk across all the VMAs. Also define mm->highest_vm_end as the vm_end field of the highest vma, so that we can easily check if the following gap is suitable. This does have the potential to make unmapping VMAs more expensive, especially for processes with very large numbers of VMAs, where the VMA rbtree can grow quite deep. Signed-off-by:

There was some desire in large applications using MAP_HUGETLB or SHM_HUGETLB to use 1GB huge pages on some mappings, and stay with 2MB on others. This is useful together with NUMA policy: use 2MB interleaving on some mappings, but 1GB on local mappings. This patch extends the IPC/SHM syscall interfaces slightly to allow specifying the page size. It borrows some upper bits in the existing flag arguments and allows encoding the log of the desired page size in addition to the *_HUGETLB flag. When 0 is specified the default size is used, this makes the change fully compatible. Extending the internal hugetlb code to handle this is straight forward. Instead of a single mount it just keeps an array of them and selects the right mount based on the specified page size. When no page size is specified it uses the mount of the default page size. The change is not visible in /proc/mounts because internal mounts don't appear there. It also has very little overhead: the additional mounts just consume a super block, but not more memory when not used. I also exported the new flags to the user headers (they were previously under __KERNEL__). Right now only symbols for x86 and some other architecture for 1GB and 2MB are defined. The interface should already work for all other architectures though. Only architectures that define multiple hugetlb sizes actually need it (that is currently x86, tile, powerpc). However tile and powerpc have user configurable hugetlb sizes, so it's not easy to add defines. A program on those architectures would need to query sysfs and use the appropiate log2.

action_result() fails to print out "dirty" even if an error occurred on a dirty pagecache, because when we check PageDirty in action_result() it was cleared after page isolation even if it's dirty before error handling. This can break some applications that monitor this message, so should be fixed. There are several callers of action_result() except page_action(), but either of them are not for LRU pages but for free pages or kernel pages, so we don't have to consider dirty or not for them. Note that PG_dirty can be set outside page locks as described in commit 6746aff7 ("HWPOISON: shmem: call set_page_dirty() with locked page"), so this patch does not completely closes the race window, but just narrows it.

Exiting threads, those with PF_EXITING set, can pagefault and require memory before they can make forward progress. This happens, for instance, when a process must fault task->robust_list, a userspace structure, before detaching its memory. These threads also aren't guaranteed to get access to memory reserves unless oom killed or killed from userspace. The oom killer won't grant memory reserves if other threads are also exiting other than current and stalling at the same point. This prevents needlessly killing processes when others are already exiting. Instead of special casing all the possible situations between PF_EXITING getting set and a thread detaching its mm where it may allocate memory, which probably wouldn't get updated when a change is made to the exit path, the solution is to give all exiting threads access to memory reserves if they call the oom killer. This allows them to quickly allocate, detach its mm, and free the memory it represents. Summary of Luigi's bug report: : He had an oom condition where threads were faulting on task->robust_list : and repeatedly called the oom killer but it would defer killing a thread : because it saw other PF_EXITING threads. This can happen anytime we need : to allocate memory after setting PF_EXITING and before detaching our mm; : if there are other threads in the same state then the oom killer won't do : anything unless one of them happens to be killed from userspace. : : So instead of only deferring for PF_EXITING and !task->robust_list, it's : better to just give them access to memory reserves to prevent a potential : livelock so that any other faults that may be introduced in the future in : the exit path don't cause the same problem (and hopefully we don't allow : too many of those!).

On x86 memory accesses to pages without the ACCESSED flag set result in the ACCESSED flag being set automatically. With the ARM architecture a page access fault is raised instead (and it will continue to be raised until the ACCESSED flag is set for the appropriate PTE/PMD). For normal memory pages, handle_pte_fault will call pte_mkyoung (effectively setting the ACCESSED flag). For transparent huge pages, pmd_mkyoung will only be called for a write fault. This patch ensures that faults on transparent hugepages which do not result in a CoW update the access flags for the faulting pmd. Signed-off-by:

The call to frontswap_init() was added within enable_swap_info(), which was called not only during sys_swapon, but also to reinsert the swap_info into the swap_list in case of failure of try_to_unuse() within sys_swapoff. This means that frontswap_init() might be called more than once for the same swap area. While as far as I could see no frontswap implementation has any problem with it (and in fact, all the ones I found ignore the parameter passed to frontswap_init), this could change in the future. To prevent future problems, move the call to frontswap_init() to outside the code shared between sys_swapon and sys_swapoff. Signed-off-by:

The block within sys_swapoff() which re-inserts the swap_info into the swap_list in case of failure of try_to_unuse() reads a few values outside the swap_lock. While this is safe at that point, it is subtle code. Simplify the code by moving the reading of these values to a separate function, refactoring it a bit so they are read from within the swap_lock. This is easier to understand, and matches better the way it worked before I unified the insertion of the swap_info from both sys_swapon and sys_swapoff. This change should make no functional difference. The only real change is moving the read of two or three structure fields to within the lock (frontswap_map_get() is nothing more than a read of p->frontswap_map). Signed-off-by:

If we have more inactive file pages than active file pages, we skip scanning the active file pages altogether, with the idea that we do not want to evict the working set when there is plenty of streaming IO in the cache. However, the code forgot to also skip scanning anonymous pages in that situation. That leads to the curious situation of keeping the active file pages protected from being paged out when there are lots of inactive file pages, while still scanning and evicting anonymous pages. This patch fixes that situation, by only evicting file pages when we have plenty of them and most are inactive. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: adjust comment layout] Signed-off-by:

If we hot-remove memory only and leave the cpus alive, the corresponding node will not be removed. But the node_start_pfn and node_spanned_pages in pg_data will be reset to 0. In this case, when we hot-add the memory back next time, the node_start_pfn will always be 0 because no pfn is less than 0. After that, if we hot-remove the memory again, it will cause kernel panic in function find_biggest_section_pfn() when it tries to scan all the pfns. The zone will also have the same problem. This patch sets start_pfn to the start_pfn of the section being added when spanned_pages of the zone or pg_data is 0. ---How to reproduce--- 1. hot-add a container with some memory and cpus; 2. hot-remove the container's memory, and leave cpus there; 3. hot-add these memory again; 4. hot-remove them again; then, the kernel will panic. ---Call trace--- BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00000fff82a8cc38 IP: [<ffffffff811c0d55>] find_biggest_section_pfn+0xe5/0x180 ......

SLUB only focuses on the nodes which have normal memory and it ignores the other node's hot-adding and hot-removing. Aka: if some memory of a node which has no onlined memory is online, but this new memory onlined is not normal memory (for example, highmem), we should not allocate kmem_cache_node for SLUB. And if the last normal memory is offlined, but the node still has memory, we should remove kmem_cache_node for that node. (The current code delays it when all of the memory is offlined) So we only do something when marg->status_change_nid_normal > 0. marg->status_change_nid is not suitable here. The same problem doesn't exist in SLAB, because SLAB allocates kmem_list3 for every node even the node don't have normal memory, SLAB tolerates kmem_list3 on alien nodes. SLUB only focuses on the nodes which have normal memory, it don't tolerate alien kmem_cache_node. The patch makes SLUB become self-compatible and avoids WARNs and BUGs in rare conditions.

Currently memory_hotplug only manages the node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY], it forgets to manage node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY]. This may cause node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] to become incorrect. Example, if a node is empty before online, and we online a memory which is in ZONE_NORMAL. And after online, node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] is correct, but node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] is incorrect, the online code doesn't set the new online node to node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY]. The same thing will happen when offlining (the offline code doesn't clear the node from node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] when needed). Some memory managment code depends node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY], so we have to fix up the node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY]. We add node_states_check_changes_online() and node_states_check_changes_offline() to detect whether node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] and node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] are changed while hotpluging. Also add @status_change_nid_normal to struct memory_notify, thus the memory hotplug callbacks know whether the node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] are changed. (We can add a @flags and reuse @status_change_nid instead of introducing @status_change_nid_normal, but it will add much more complexity in memory hotplug callback in every subsystem. So introducing @status_change_nid_normal is better and it doesn't change the sematics of @status_change_nid) Signed-off-by:

Additionally, the patch adds memset() to initialize a node struct into register_node(). Because the node struct is part of node_devices[] array and it cannot be freed by node_device_release().

NR_FREE_PAGES will be wrong after offlining pages. We add/dec NR_FREE_PAGES like this now: 1. move all pages in buddy system to MIGRATE_ISOLATE, and dec NR_FREE_PAGES 2. don't add NR_FREE_PAGES when it is freed and the migratetype is MIGRATE_ISOLATE 3. dec NR_FREE_PAGES when offlining isolated pages. 4. add NR_FREE_PAGES when undoing isolate pages. When we come to step 3, all pages are in MIGRATE_ISOLATE list, and NR_FREE_PAGES are right. When we come to step4, all pages are not in buddy system, so we don't change NR_FREE_PAGES in this step, but we change NR_FREE_PAGES in step3. So NR_FREE_PAGES is wrong after offlining pages. So there is no need to change NR_FREE_PAGES in step3. This patch also fixs a problem in step2: if the migratetype is MIGRATE_ISOLATE, we should not add NR_FRR_PAGES when we remove pages from pcppages. Signed-off-by:

When a memory block is onlined, we will try allocate memory on that node to store page_cgroup. If onlining the memory block failed, we don't offline the page cgroup, and we have no chance to offline this page cgroup unless the memory block is onlined successfully again. It will cause that we can't hot-remove the memory device on that node, because some memory is used to store page cgroup. If onlining the memory block is failed, there is no need to stort page cgroup for this memory. So auto offline page_cgroup when onlining memory block failed. Signed-off-by:
