There is a generic function __pvclock_read_cycles to be used to get both
flags and cycles. For function pvclock_read_flags, it's useless to get
cycles value. To make this function be more effective, get this variable
flags directly in function.

Function __pvclock_read_cycles is short enough, so there is no need to
have another function pvclock_get_nsec_offset to calculate tsc delta.
It's better to combine it into function __pvclock_read_cycles.
Remove useless variables in function __pvclock_read_cycles.

Protocol for the "version" fields is: hypervisor raises it (making it
uneven) before it starts updating the fields and raises it again (making
it even) when it is done. Thus the guest can make sure the time values
it got are consistent by checking the version before and after reading
them.
Add CPU barries after getting version value just like what function
vread_pvclock does, because all of callees in this function is inline.

Pull SCSI fixes from James Bottomley:
"Two straightforward fixes.
One is a concurrency issue only affecting SAS connected SATA drives,
but which could hang the storage subsystem if it triggers (because the
outstanding command count on error never goes back to zero) and the
other is a NO_TAG fallout from the switch to hostwide tags which
causes the system to crash on module insertion (we've checked
carefully and only the 53c700 family of drivers is vulnerable to this
issue)"

Commit fe742fd4f90f ("Revert "btrfs: switch to ->iterate_shared()"")
backed out the conversion to ->iterate_shared() for Btrfs because the
delayed inode handling in btrfs_real_readdir() is racy. However, we can
still do readdir in parallel if there are no delayed nodes.
This is a temporary fix which upgrades the shared inode lock to an
exclusive lock only when we have delayed items until we come up with a
more complete solution. While we're here, rename the
btrfs_{get,put}_delayed_items functions to make it very clear that
they're just for readdir.
Tested with xfstests and by doing a parallel kernel build:
while make tinyconfig && make -j4 && git clean dqfx; do
:
done
along with a bunch of parallel finds in another shell:
while true; do
for ((i=0; i<4; i++)); do
find . >/dev/null &
done
wait
done

The value `bytes' comes from the filesystem which is about to be
mounted. We cannot trust that the value is always in the range we
expect it to be.
Check its value before using it to calculate the length for the crc32_le
call. It value must be larger (or equal) sumoff + 4.
This fixes a kernel bug when accidentially mounting an image file which
had the nilfs2 magic value 0x3434 at the right offset 0x406 by chance.
The bytes 0x01 0x00 were stored at 0x408 and were interpreted as a
s_bytes value of 1. This caused an underflow when substracting sumoff +
4 (20) in the call to crc32_le.

Tetsuo has reported the following potential oom_killer_disable vs.
oom_reaper race:
(1) freeze_processes() starts freezing user space threads.
(2) Somebody (maybe a kenrel thread) calls out_of_memory().
(3) The OOM killer calls mark_oom_victim() on a user space thread
P1 which is already in __refrigerator().
(4) oom_killer_disable() sets oom_killer_disabled = true.
(5) P1 leaves __refrigerator() and enters do_exit().
(6) The OOM reaper calls exit_oom_victim(P1) before P1 can call
exit_oom_victim(P1).
(7) oom_killer_disable() returns while P1 not yet finished
(8) P1 perform IO/interfere with the freezer.
This situation is unfortunate. We cannot move oom_killer_disable after
all the freezable kernel threads are frozen because the oom victim might
depend on some of those kthreads to make a forward progress to exit so
we could deadlock. It is also far from trivial to teach the oom_reaper
to not call exit_oom_victim() because then we would lose a guarantee of
the OOM killer and oom_killer_disable forward progress because
exit_mm->mmput might block and never call exit_oom_victim.
It seems the easiest way forward is to workaround this race by calling
try_to_freeze_tasks again after oom_killer_disable. This will make sure
that all the tasks are frozen or it bails out.

According to some high-load testing, these two BUG assertions were
encountered, this led system panic. Actually, there were some
discussions about removing these two BUG() assertions, it would not
bring any side effect.
Then, I did the the following changes,
1) use the existing macro CATCH_BH_JBD_RACES to wrap BUG() in the
ocfs2_read_blocks_sync function like before.
2) disable the macro CATCH_BH_JBD_RACES in Makefile by default.

If the memory compaction free scanner cannot successfully split a free
page (only possible due to per-zone low watermark), terminate the free
scanner rather than continuing to scan memory needlessly. If the
watermark is insufficient for a free page of order <= cc->order, then
terminate the scanner since all future splits will also likely fail.
This prevents the compaction freeing scanner from scanning all memory on
very large zones (very noticeable for zones > 128GB, for instance) when
all splits will likely fail while holding zone->lock.
compaction_alloc() iterating a 128GB zone has been benchmarked to take
over 400ms on some systems whereas any free page isolated and ready to
be split ends up failing in split_free_page() because of the low
watermark check and thus the iteration continues.
The next time compaction occurs, the freeing scanner will likely start
at the end of the zone again since no success was made previously and we
get the same lengthy iteration until the zone is brought above the low
watermark. All thp page faults can take >400ms in such a state without
this fix.

While working on s390 support for gigantic hugepages I ran into the
following "Bad page state" warning when freeing gigantic pages:
BUG: Bad page state in process bash pfn:580001
page:000003d116000040 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping:ffffffff00000000 index:0x0
flags: 0x7fffc0000000000()
page dumped because: non-NULL mapping
This is because page->compound_mapcount, which is part of a union with
page->mapping, is initialized with -1 in prep_compound_gigantic_page(),
and not cleared again during destroy_compound_gigantic_page(). Fix this
by clearing the compound_mapcount in destroy_compound_gigantic_page()
before clearing compound_head.
Interestingly enough, the warning will not show up on x86_64, although
this should not be architecture specific. Apparently there is an
endianness issue, combined with the fact that the union contains both a
64 bit ->mapping pointer and a 32 bit atomic_t ->compound_mapcount as
members. The resulting bogus page->mapping on x86_64 therefore contains
00000000ffffffff instead of ffffffff00000000 on s390, which will falsely
trigger the PageAnon() check in free_pages_prepare() because
page->mapping & PAGE_MAPPING_ANON is true on little-endian architectures
like x86_64 in this case (the page is not compound anymore,
->compound_head was already cleared before). As a result, page->mapping
will be cleared before doing the checks in free_pages_check().
Not sure if the bogus "PageAnon() returning true" on x86_64 for the
first tail page of a gigantic page (at this stage) has other theoretical
implications, but they would also be fixed with this patch.

Currently we can have compound pages held on per cpu pagevecs, which
leads to a lot of memory unavailable for reclaim when needed. In the
systems with hundreads of processors it can be GBs of memory.
On of the way of reproducing the problem is to not call munmap
explicitly on all mapped regions (i.e. after receiving SIGTERM). After
that some pages (with THP enabled also huge pages) may end up on
lru_add_pvec, example below.
void main() {
#pragma omp parallel
{
size_t size = 55 * 1000 * 1000; // smaller than MEM/CPUS
void *p = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS , -1, 0);
if (p != MAP_FAILED)
memset(p, 0, size);
//munmap(p, size); // uncomment to make the problem go away
}
}
When we run it with THP enabled it will leave significant amount of
memory on lru_add_pvec. This memory will be not reclaimed if we hit
OOM, so when we run above program in a loop:
for i in `seq 100`; do ./a.out; done
many processes (95% in my case) will be killed by OOM.
The primary point of the LRU add cache is to save the zone lru_lock
contention with a hope that more pages will belong to the same zone and
so their addition can be batched. The huge page is already a form of
batched addition (it will add 512 worth of memory in one go) so skipping
the batching seems like a safer option when compared to a potential
excess in the caching which can be quite large and much harder to fix
because lru_add_drain_all is way to expensive and it is not really clear
what would be a good moment to call it.
Similarly we can reproduce the problem on lru_deactivate_pvec by adding:
madvise(p, size, MADV_FREE); after memset.
This patch flushes lru pvecs on compound page arrival making the problem
less severe - after applying it kill rate of above example drops to 0%,
due to reducing maximum amount of memory held on pvec from 28MB (with
THP) to 56kB per CPU.

mem_cgroup_css_alloc() was returning NULL on failure while cgroup core
expected it to return an ERR_PTR value leading to the following NULL
deref after a css allocation failure. Fix it by return
ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) instead. I'll also update cgroup core so that it
can handle NULL returns.

We account HugeTLB's shared page table to all processes who share it.
The accounting happens during huge_pmd_share().
If somebody populates pud entry under us, we should decrease pagetable's
refcount and decrease nr_pmds of the process.
By mistake, I increase nr_pmds again in this case. :-/ It will lead to
"BUG: non-zero nr_pmds on freeing mm: 2" on process' exit.
Let's fix this by increasing nr_pmds only when we're sure that the page
table will be used.

Commit d0164adc89f6 ("mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable
to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd") modified
__GFP_WAIT to explicitly identify the difference between atomic callers
and those that were unwilling to sleep. Later the definition was
removed entirely.
The GFP_RECLAIM_MASK is the set of flags that affect watermark checking
and reclaim behaviour but __GFP_ATOMIC was never added. Without it,
atomic users of the slab allocator strip the __GFP_ATOMIC flag and
cannot access the page allocator atomic reserves. This patch addresses
the problem.
The user-visible impact depends on the workload but potentially atomic
allocations unnecessarily fail without this path.

Currently we may put reserved by mempool elements into quarantine via
kasan_kfree(). This is totally wrong since quarantine may really free
these objects. So when mempool will try to use such element,
use-after-free will happen. Or mempool may decide that it no longer
need that element and double-free it.
So don't put object into quarantine in kasan_kfree(), just poison it.
Rename kasan_kfree() to kasan_poison_kfree() to respect that.
Also, we shouldn't use kasan_slab_alloc()/kasan_krealloc() in
kasan_unpoison_element() because those functions may update allocation
stacktrace. This would be wrong for the most of the remove_element call
sites.
(The only call site where we may want to update alloc stacktrace is
in mempool_alloc(). Kmemleak solves this by calling
kmemleak_update_trace(), so we could make something like that too.
But this is out of scope of this patch).

jbd2_alloc is explicit about its allocation preferences wrt. the
allocation size. Sub page allocations go to the slab allocator and
larger are using either the page allocator or vmalloc. This is all good
but the logic is unnecessarily complex.
1) as per Ted, the vmalloc fallback is a left-over:
: jbd2_alloc is only passed in the bh->b_size, which can't be PAGE_SIZE, so
: the code path that calls vmalloc() should never get called. When we
: conveted jbd2_alloc() to suppor sub-page size allocations in commit
: d2eecb039368, there was an assumption that it could be called with a size
: greater than PAGE_SIZE, but that's certaily not true today.
Moreover vmalloc allocation might even lead to a deadlock because the
callers expect GFP_NOFS context while vmalloc is GFP_KERNEL.
2) __GFP_REPEAT for requests <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER is ignored
since the flag was introduced.
Let's simplify the code flow and use the slab allocator for sub-page
requests and the page allocator for others. Even though order > 0 is
not currently used as per above leave that option open.

__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations.
PGALLOC_GFP uses __GFP_REPEAT but it is only used in pte_alloc_one,
pte_alloc_one_kernel which does order-0 request. This means that this
flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been used
only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.

__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations.
pgtable_alloc_one uses __GFP_REPEAT flag for L2_USER_PGTABLE_ORDER but
the order is either 0 or 3 if L2_KERNEL_PGTABLE_SHIFT for HPAGE_SHIFT.
This means that this flag has never been actually useful here because it
has always been used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.

__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations.
PGALLOC_GFP uses __GFP_REPEAT but {pgd,pmd}_alloc allocate from
{pgd,pmd}_cache but both caches are allocating up to PAGE_SIZE objects.
This means that this flag has never been actually useful here because it
has always been used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.

page_table_alloc then uses the flag for a single page allocation. This
means that this flag has never been actually useful here because it has
always been used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.

{pud,pmd}_alloc_one is using __GFP_REPEAT but it always allocates from
pgtable_cache which is initialzed to PAGE_SIZE objects. This means that
this flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been
used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.
