This patch simply adds a newline character at end-of-file to those files in Documentation/ that currently lack one. This is done for a few different reasons: A) It's rather annoying when you do "cat some_file.txt" that your prompt/cursor ends up at the end of the last line of output rather than on a new line. B) Some tools that process files line-by-line may get confused by the lack of a newline on the last line. C) The "\ No newline at end of file" line in diffs annoys me for some reason. So, let's just add the missing newline once and for all. Signed-off-by:

I no longer have a mailbox at smsc.com, and I've had two reports that that email address now bounces from people trying to contact me. This patch updates all references to that invalid address to one that I can be contacted on more permanently. This patch also updates the maintainer status to reflect the fact I'm no longer directly paid to maintain these drivers. Signed-off-by:

With mem_cgroup_disabled() now explicit, it becomes clear that the zone_reclaim_stat structure actually belongs in lruvec, per-zone when memcg is disabled but per-memcg per-zone when it's enabled. We can delete mem_cgroup_get_reclaim_stat(), and change update_page_reclaim_stat() to update just the one set of stats, the one which get_scan_count() will actually use. Signed-off-by:

This patch changes memcg's behavior at task_move(). At task_move(), the kernel scans a task's page table and move the changes for mapped pages from source cgroup to target cgroup. There has been a bug at handling shared anonymous pages for a long time. Before patch: - The spec says 'shared anonymous pages are not moved.' - The implementation was 'shared anonymoys pages may be moved'. If page_mapcount <=2, shared anonymous pages's charge were moved. After patch: - The spec says 'all anonymous pages are moved'. - The implementation is 'all anonymous pages are moved'. Considering usage of memcg, this will not affect user's experience. 'shared anonymous' pages only exists between a tree of processes which don't do exec(). Moving one of process without exec() seems not sane. For example, libcgroup will not be affected by this change. (Anyway, no one noticed the implementation for a long time...) Below is a discussion log: - current spec/implementation are complex - Now, shared file caches are moved - It adds unclear check as page_mapcount(). To do correct check, we should check swap users, etc. - No one notice this implementation behavior. So, no one get benefit from the design. - In general, once task is moved to a cgroup for running, it will not be moved.... - Finally, we have control knob as memory.move_charge_at_immigrate. Here is a patch to allow moving shared pages, completely. This makes memcg simpler and fix current broken code. Suggested-by: -

The overall memblock has been organized into the memory regions and reserved regions. Initially, the memory regions and reserved regions are stored in the predetermined arrays of "struct memblock _region". It's possible for the arrays to be enlarged when we have newly added regions, but no free space left there. The policy here is to create double-sized array either by slab allocator or memblock allocator. Unfortunately, we didn't free the old array, which might be allocated through slab allocator before. That would cause memory leak. The patch introduces 2 variables to trace where (slab or memblock) the memory and reserved regions come from. The memory for the memory or reserved regions will be deallocated by kfree() if that was allocated by slab allocator. Thus to fix the memory leak issue. Signed-off-by:

Initially, the memory regions and reserved regions are stored in the predetermined arrays of "struct memblock _region". It's possible for the arrays to be enlarged when we have newly added regions for them, but no enough space there. Under the situation, We will created double-sized array to meet the requirement. However, the original implementation converted the VA (Virtual Address) of the newly allocated array of regions to PA (Physical Address), then translate back when we allocates the new array from slab. That's actually unnecessary. The patch removes the duplicate VA/PA conversion. Signed-off-by:

Transparent huge pages can change page->flags (PG_compound_lock) without taking Slab lock. Since THP can not break slab pages we can safely access compound page without taking compound lock. Specifically this patch fixes a race between compound_unlock() and slab functions which perform page-flags updates. This can occur when get_page()/put_page() is called on a page from slab.

The transfer of ->flags causes some of the static mapping virtual addresses to be prematurely freed (before the mapping is removed) because VM_LAZY_FREE gets "set" if tmp->flags has VM_IOREMAP set. This might cause subsequent vmalloc/ioremap calls to fail because it might allocate one of the freed virtual address ranges that aren't unmapped. va->flags has different types of flags from tmp->flags. If a region with VM_IOREMAP set is registered with vm_area_add_early(), it will be removed by __purge_vmap_area_lazy(). Fix vmalloc_init() to correctly initialize vmap_area for the given vm_struct. Also initialise va->vm. If it is not set, find_vm_area() for the early vm regions will always fail. Signed-off-by:

Only archs with 64bit large pmd_t and 32bit unsigned long should be affected. With THP enabled the barrier() in pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() would partly hide the bug when the pmd transition from none to stable, by forcing a re-read of the *pmd in pmd_offset_map_lock, but when THP is enabled a new set of problem arises by the fact could then transition freely in any of the none, pmd_trans_huge or pmd_trans_stable states. So making the barrier in pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() unconditional isn't good idea and it would be a flakey solution. This should be fully fixed by introducing a pmd_read_atomic that reads the pmd in order with THP disabled, or by reading the pmd atomically with cmpxchg8b with THP enabled. Luckily this new race condition only triggers in the places that must already be covered by pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() so the fix is localized there but this bug is not related to THP. NOTE: this can trigger on x86 32bit systems with PAE enabled with more than 4G of ram, otherwise the high part of the pmd will never risk to be truncated because it would be zero at all times, in turn so hiding the SMP race. This bug was discovered and fully debugged by Ulrich, quote: ---- [..] pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() loads the content of edx and eax. 496 static inline int pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad(pmd_t *pmd) 497 { 498 /* depend on compiler for an atomic pmd read */ 499 pmd_t pmdval = *pmd; // edi = pmd pointer 0xc0507a74 <sys_mincore+548>: mov 0x8(%esp),%edi ... // edx = PTE page table high address 0xc0507a84 <sys_mincore+564>: mov 0x4(%edi),%edx ... // eax = PTE page table low address 0xc0507a8e <sys_mincore+574>: mov (%edi),%eax [..] Please note that the PMD is not read atomically.

The "mov" at 0xc0507a84 loads 0x00000000 into edx. - A page fault (on another CPU) sneaks in between the two "mov" instructions and instantiates the PMD. - The PMD entry {high|low} is now 0x00000003fda38067.

The oom_score_adj scale ranges from -1000 to 1000 and represents the proportion of memory available to the process at allocation time. This means an oom_score_adj value of 300, for example, will bias a process as though it was using an extra 30.0% of available memory and a value of -350 will discount 35.0% of available memory from its usage. The oom killer badness heuristic also uses this scale to report the oom score for each eligible process in determining the "best" process to kill. Thus, it can only differentiate each process's memory usage by 0.1% of system RAM. On large systems, this can end up being a large amount of memory: 256MB on 256GB systems, for example. This can be fixed by having the badness heuristic to use the actual memory usage in scoring threads and then normalizing it to the oom_score_adj scale for userspace. This results in better comparison between eligible threads for kill and no change from the userspace perspective. Suggested-by:

Sometimes we'd like to avoid swapping out anonymous memory. In particular, avoid swapping out pages of important process or process groups while there is a reasonable amount of pagecache on RAM so that we can satisfy our customers' requirements. OTOH, we can control how aggressive the kernel will swap memory pages with /proc/sys/vm/swappiness for global and /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/memory.swappiness for each memcg. But with current reclaim implementation, the kernel may swap out even if we set swappiness=0 and there is pagecache in RAM. This patch changes the behavior with swappiness==0. If we set swappiness==0, the kernel does not swap out completely (for global reclaim until the amount of free pages and filebacked pages in a zone has been reduced to something very very small (nr_free + nr_filebacked < high watermark)).

When called for anonymous (non-shared) mappings, hugetlb_reserve_pages() does a resv_map_alloc(). It depends on code in hugetlbfs's vm_ops->close() to release that allocation. However, in the mmap() failure path, we do a plain unmap_region() without the remove_vma() which actually calls vm_ops->close(). This is a decent fix. This leak could get reintroduced if new code (say, after hugetlb_reserve_pages() in hugetlbfs_file_mmap()) decides to return an error. But, I think it would have to unroll the reservation anyway. Christoph's test case: http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=133728900729735 This patch applies to 3.4 and later. A version for earlier kernels is at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/22/418. Signed-off-by:
